And you want to travel with her, and you want to travel blind, and you know that she will trust you, for you've touched her perfect body with your mind - Suzanne av Leonard Cohen

Åh, når jeg gikk inn her tenkte jeg på denne, som har snurret og gått i hodet mitt den siste uken

Poster kanskje selv når jeg finner igjen dokumentet mitt med favorittsitater.

Winter av Tori Amos er jo også nydelig, spesielt

"When you gonna make up your mind

When you gonna love you as much as I do".

[Gjest loren]

Jeg er i overkant glad i Lars Winnerbäck og har samlet noe av det fineste fra hans tekster i et eget dokument;

Alla drömmer vi om lyckan, som om livet blivit fel.

Aldrig riktig slut

Att säga som det är, så enkelt så enkelt att bara ett barn klarar av det.

Enkelt

Den vinner som är trägen, den forlorar som ger upp

Elden

Det sägs att kärlek lovar stort men håller tunt, du kan kalla det förnuft men aldrig sunt.

Du är början på nått nytt och nånting underbart för mig.

För dig

Jag har lärt mig att längtan är bättre än att ha för man saknar inte sådant som man har.

Lovesång

Jag älskar mitt meningslösa liv. Hur är ditt liv?

Stockholm

Jag är en av alla dom som varit barn, men sen glömt bort den färdigheten.

En av alla dom

Med dig på andra sidan jorden får jag tid till ingenting.

Elegi

Nånstans har man i alla fall kommit om man vet vad man behöver.

Elden

Och alldeles nyss fick jag lyssna till ditt skratt. Och det berättar att du saknar mig inatt, det gör jag med.

Elegi

Sömntabletter tycks vara effektivare än sängar.

Rusningstrafik

Vill inte komma nånstans, vill bara ta mig lite längre än hit.

Om tiden vil ifatt

Og denne, fra Linkin Park - In between.

Between my pride and my promise,

Between my lies and how the truth gets in the way,

The things I want to say to you get lost before they come,

The only thing that’s worse than one is none

[Gandalff]

Kaizers Orchestra - Drøm Hardt Requiem Part I

"Vær så snill og send mer brennevin, la oss drikke som svin"

[Agathe]

Mer Cohen, fra Anthem

Ring the bells that still can ring

Forget your perfect offering

There is a crack in everything

That's how the light gets in.

[Pawn Hearts]

Jag har lärt mig att längtan är bättre än att ha för man saknar inte sådant som man har.

Jeg bet meg merke i denne, Loren, fordi den speiler en tanke i Symposion av Platon: Eros kan ikke både lengte etter det skjønne og gode og samtidig være skjønn og god, nettopp fordi det er umulig å lengte etter noe man allerede har.

[alh]

Herregud, bare elsker strofer og tekst tatt fra sanger og dikt. Har to spesielt nå, men eller tusenvis, det meste fra linkin park <3

" det gikk opp for seint, at jeg faktisk hadde skjært av meg armen min, for å holde din". - John Olav Nilsen og gjengen

" Don't you bring your sadnes down on me, when peace is free! ". - Black Stone Cherry

Det er så utrolig mange tekster jeg er glad i og blir rørt av, jeg kan poste dette først; Har alltid vært veldig glad i Leonard Cohens musikk, men, det rørte meg virkelig dypt første gangen jeg hørte dette;

[Manuela22]

"Each day's a gift and not a given right"

[Manolo]

Du skal ikke tåle så inderlig vel, den urett som ikke rammer deg selv

-Arnulf Øverland

I find it kind of funny, I find it kind of sad. The dreams in which I`m dying are the best I ever had.

- Fra sangen Mad World

Du skal være tro

Men ikke mot noe menneske

som i gold grådighet

henger ved dine hender.

Ikke mot noe ideal

som svulmer i store bokstaver

uten å røre ved ditt hjerte.

Ikke mot noe bud

som gjør deg til en utlending

i ditt eget legeme.

Ikke mot noen drøm

du ikke selv har drømt …

Når var du tro?

Var du tro

når du knelte i skyggen

av andres avgudsbilder?

Var du tro

når din handling overdøvet

lyden av ditt eget hjerteslag?

Var du tro

når du ikke bedrog

den du ikke elsket?

Var du tro

når din feighet forkledde seg

og kalte seg samvittighet?

Nei.

Men når det som rørte ved deg

gav tone.

Når din egen puls

gav rytme til handling.

Når du var ett med det

som sitret i deg

da var du tro!

- Andre Bjerke

[Gråspurven]

Et utdrag fra Christer Sandelins "Jag lever nu"

Lev och njut, ta vara på den stund vi

fått tillsammans, tiden går

Jag är så rädd att något ont ska hända

någon som står mig nära, som jag älskar

och allting blir försent

Och svara mig, om det finns en högre

makt, vill jag ha ett evigt liv och aldrig

någonsin dö

Det skrämmer mig att allting ska ta slut

och att allting som vi gjort betyder inget, nej,

som vissna löv i vinden

Jag lever nu, jag vill alltid vara ung,

att allt ska kännas nytt, precis som första

gången

Jag lever nu, jag känner mig så stark, att

se och göra allt, men tiden går så fort,

jag vill aldrig dö.

[Gjest BabyBlue]

Ikke like gripende som det dere har lagt ut, men liker denne fra Full Nelson av Limp Bizkit:

You'll get knocked the fuck out

Cause your mouth's writing checks that your ass can't cash

Donkeyboy - Ambitions. Jeg griner alltid av den sangen av en eller annen grunn, klarer ikke å høre på den uten å sippe.

And if somebody's going to make it

then this somebody ought to be you

And I keep telling my reflection

Ambitions are already starting to fade

Metallica - Sanitarium

Build my fear of what's out there

Cannot breathe the open air

Whisper things into my brain

Assuring me that I'm insane

They think our heads are in their hands

But violent use brings violent plans

Keep him tied, it makes him well

He's getting better, can't you tell?

Linkin Park - Burning in the Skies

I'm swimming in the smoke

Of bridges I have burned

So don't apologize

I'm losing what I don't deserve

Billy Talent - Pins and needles

The more you squeeze, the more it slips away

Billy Talent - Surrender

Killing time before she struts her stuff

She needs support and I've become the crutch

She'll never know how much she means to me

I'd play the game but I'm the referee

Jeg får så vondt av den sangen. Stakkars fyr, som helt klart er dødsforelska i en jente som ikke ser han for noe annet enn en venn

[sauen87]

Drar opp denne igjen med noen flere:

Alla vill till himmelen men få vill ju dö

Man vill kamma in vinningen, men sår inga frön

Man vill ha sin bit av kakan, man vill äta den med

Folk vill ta tillbaka, men vägrar att ge

Alla vil til himmelen av Timbuktu

To the outside the dead leaves, they're on the lawn

Before they died, had trees to hang their hope

Funeral av Band of Horses

And I can't help but wonder oh Willy McBride

Do all those who lie here know why they died?

Did you really believe them when they told you the cause?

Did you really believe that this war would end wars?

Well the suffering, the sorrow, the glory, the shame

The killing and dying it was all done in vain

Oh Willy McBride it all happened again

And again, and again, and again, and again

No man's land av Eric Bogle (handler om 1. verdenskrig)

Sometimes I get the feelin'

I was back in the old days - long ago

When we were kids when we were young

Things seemed so perfect - you know

The days were endless we were crazy we were young

The sun was always shinin' - we just lived for fun

Sometimes it seems like lately - I just don't know

The rest of my life's been just a show

Those were the days of our lives

The bad things in life were so few

Those days are all gone now but one thing is true

When I look and I find I still love you

You can't turn back the clock you can't turn back the tide

Ain't that a shame

I'd like to go back one time on a roller coaster ride

When life was just a game

No use in sitting and thinkin' on what you did

When you can lay back and enjoy it through your kids

Sometimes it seems like lately - I just don't know

Better sit back and go with the flow

Cos these are the days of our lives

They've flown in the swiftness of time

These days are all gone now but some things remain

When I look and I find no change

Those were the days of our lives - yeah

The bad things in life were so few

Those days are all gone now but one thing's still true

When I look and I find

I still love you

I still love you

Oj, det er veldig mange strofer fra både dikt og sanger som har gjort inntrykk på meg. Jeg er veldig glad i sangtekster som er litt diffuse, slik at man kan tolke dem på en måte som er relevant for en selv. Men jeg legger heller ut et par ganske konkrete, istedenfor å blande min egen bagasje inn i det her

You give me miles and miles of mountains

And I'll ask for the sea

Damien Rice - Volcano

The only thing worse than beating a dead horse is betting on one

Relient K

The garbage truck beeps as it backs up

And I start my day thinking about what I've thrown away

Incubus - 11am

Those left standing will make millions

writing books on the way it should have been

Incubus - Warning

Let me ask you one question

Is your money that good

Will it buy you forgiveness

Do you think that it could

I think you will find

When your death takes its toll

All the money you made

Will never buy back your soul

Bob Dylan - Masters of War

I read the news today

And everything they say

Just makes me want to stay inside and wait

But a part of me knows

That waiting in the throes

Is on a par with reading with my eyes closed

"What Can I do?", You say

It's just another day

In the life of apes with ego trips

Put down your hollow tips

And kiss your lover's lips

And know that fate is what we make of it

Incubus - Agoraphobia

Dette er omtrent en hel sang, men jeg synes den er en liten oppvekker når jeg, som de fleste av oss, av og til skylder på verden når ingenting går som det skal:

On my way home

police car pulled me over

After they left, I puttered out of gas

triple-a came, but my card was expired!

I had to walk home, and of course

it rained half the time (half the time)

I tried to get some shut-eye

then I was abducted

they put cold things in my butt, BUTT, BUTT

they sampled a bit of my D.N.A.

they left me on top of my sheets

I dreamt I went potty

then woke up drenched in me

This day sucked the hardest ever

I woke up on the wrong side of my bed today

a little bit less than nothing would go my way

I woke up to toss my soiled sheets

the hallway was dark and I stubbed my big toe

it was then that I sensed the irony (burning me)

then I heard the voice say

"come sail aboard S.S. Nepenthe!"

I suppose I'm to blame

I woke up on the wrong side of my bed today

a little bit less than nothing would go my way

Thank goodness

for bathtubs and suds

I suppose I'm to blame for getting pulled over

I guess I'm the culprit for running out of gas

let's assume I'm the guy

who didn't pay his 'Triple-A' fee

in actuality, I let the zetas probe me

yesterday was all my fault

I let negativity get the better of me

thank goodness for the bathtubs and suds

they temporarily set free this quandary

Incubus - Calgone

Også synes jeg denne er litt nydelig da, selv om den er litt klissete

You're a mountain that I'd like to climb,

Not to conquer, but to share in the view.

Incubus - Black Heart Inertia

[Mermaid Blues]

Fin tråd

Jeg er veldig glad i John Donnes Holy Sonnet 14, som lyder slik:

Batter my heart, three-person'd God, for you

As yet but knock, breathe, shine, and seek to mend;

That I may rise and stand, o'erthrow me, and bend

Your force to break, blow, burn, and make me new.

I, like an usurp'd town to another due,

Labor to admit you, but oh, to no end;

Reason, your viceroy in me, me should defend,

But is captiv'd, and proves weak or untrue.

Yet dearly I love you, and would be lov'd fain,

But am betroth'd unto your enemy;

Divorce me, untie or break that knot again,

Take me to you, imprison me, for I,

Except you enthrall me, never shall be free,

Nor ever chaste, except you ravish me.

Og av sangtekster er det masse, men fra toppen av hodet akkurat nå:

As they dragged me to my feet, I was filled with incoherence

Theories of conspiracy, the whole world wants my disappearance

I'll go fighting nail and teeth, you've never seen such perseverance

Gonna make you scared of me

Haemoglobin - Placebo

Your smile would make me sneeze, when we were Siamese

Amazing grace in here, I'd pay to have you near

The Crawl - Placebo

Never thought I'd get any higher

Never thought you'd fuck with my brain

Never thought all this could expire

Never thought you'd go break the chain

My Sweet Prince - Placebo

I know you love the song but not the singer

I Know - Placebo

Og om det er lov å ta med manus også er det en monolog som har brent seg inn i minnet:

Body perfect.

Chain-smoked all day but danced like a dream you'd never know.

Have they done it yet?

Died

Burnt

Lump of charred meat stripped of its clothes

Back to life

Why do you never say anything?

Loved.

Me.

Hear a voice or catch a smile turning from the mirror You bastard how dare you leave me like this.

Felt it

Here. Inside. Here

And when I don't feel it it's pointless

Think about getting up it's pointless

Think about eating it's pointless

Think about dressing it's pointless

Think about speaking it's pointless

Think about dying only it's totally

fucking pointless

Here now

Safe on the other side and here

Graham

[a long silence]

Always be here

Thank you, Doctor.

Fra Cleansed av Sarah Kane

[Celtic Heart]

Denne kommer alltid tilbake til meg i triste stunder: Runrig Faileas Air An Airigh

Tha faileas air an airigh Det er skygger på fiskehytta

Faileas air an airigh Skygger på fiskerhytta

Tha 'n long a-muigh 'ceann a bhaigh Skipet venter ved enden av bukta

Air madainn cheitean trath En tidlig morgen i mai

Tha grian ar cuimhne ag eiridh Minnenes sol står opp

Grian ar cuimhne ag eiridh Minnenes sol står opp

A' siubhal sraidean duthaich ghalld' Og vandrer i gatene i fremmede land

Tro bhailtean saoghal chein Og byer fra fordums tider

Tha'm feasgar cuin 's na siantan blath Kvelden er rolig og skyene varme

Tha grian 's an iar mar mheall de'n or Solen er i vest, som en stor ball av gull

An cuan mar sgathan gorm gun sgleo Havet er som et speil, uten en plett

Is bu mhor mo mhian bhi 'n uibhist leat Stor er trangen til å være i Uist med deg

Togaidh sinn ar fonn an ard Vi skal løfte våre stemmer

Togaidh sinn ar fonn an ard Vi skal løfte våre stemmer

's ged' tha mi fada bhuat Selv om jeg nå er langt i fra deg

Cha dhealaich sinn a' chaoidh Skal jeg aldri si aldri

Dette er en gælisk sang som dessverre mister en fantastisk lyrisk betydning i oversettelsen til norsk.

"Jeg tror, at jeg er først og fremst et menneske, jeg, likesåvel som du". (Henrik Ibsen "Et dukkehjem")

Doubt thou that the stars are fire

Doubt thou that the sun doth move

Doubt thou truth to be a liar

But never doubt that I love

(William Shakespeare "Hamlet)

HELE diktet "Du må ikke sove" av Arnulf Øverland

Det stiger en stjerne sakte hen over himmelens bunn

og søvnen skygger mitt hode

som trær i en hellig lund

En jekt har lagt seg for anker

og firer de slappe seil

døende ånder dagen ut over havets bristende speil

En trost har våknet i hagen

all natten holder den på

og fyller med evige toner

hele den himmel blå

Gjennom det åpne vindu

går sakte åndedrag

syrinene - å, hvor de dufter

i drømmens bleke dag!

Det stiger en stjerne sakte

- sakte skrider den hen

og denne velsignede time

skal aldri komme igjen.

("Sommernatt", Arnulf Øverland)

Into the distance

a ribbon of black

Streched to the point of no turning back

A flight of fancy, on a windswept field

standing alone, my sense is real

("Learning to fly, Pink Floyd")

Var det jeg kom på i farten!

We have lingered in the chambers of the sea

By sea-girls wreathed with seaweed red and brown

Till human voices wake us, and we drown

(Fra The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock av T.S. Eliot)

Sett en ørn i bur og den vil bite i stengene, enten de så er av jern eller gull

(Henrik Ibsens Hærmennene på Helgeland)

You tell me I'm wrong

Then you better prove you're right

You're sellin' out souls

But I care about mine

I've got to get stronger

And I won't give up the fight

(Fra Scream av Michael & Janet Jackson)

People are always blaming their circumstances for what they are.

I don't believe in circumstances.

The people who get on in this world are the people who get up

and look for the circumstances they want, and,

if they can't find them, make them.

(Fra Mrs. Warren's Profession av George Bernard Shaw)

[miaw]

You are the hole in my head

You are the space in my bed

You are the silence in between

What I thought and what I said

You are the night-time fear

You are the morning when it's clear

When it's over your start

You're my head

You're my heart

Florence and the machine - No light

Vad ska jag skriva för att du ska bli berörd

hur högt ska jag skrika

varje gång jag vill bli hörd

du vill att jag ska falla

mot något som du har gjort till ditt

men ska jag falla

då ska det finnas tid att falla fritt

Melissa Horn - Falla fritt
