Down in a hole...

[LordMagicMan]

Alice In Chains
Down In A Hole

Bury Me Softly In This Womb
I Give This Part Of Me For You
Sand Rains Down And Here I Sit
Holding Rare Flowers
In A Tomb.....In Bloom

Down In A Hole And I Don't Know
If I Can Be Saved
See My Heart I Decorate It
Like A Grave
You Don't Understand Who They
Thought I Was Supposed To Be
Look At Me Now A Man
Who Won't Let Himself Be

Down In A Hole, Losin' My Soul
Down In A Hole, Losin' Control
I'd Like To Fly
But My Wings Have Been So Denied

Down In A Hole And They've Put All
The Stones In Their Place
I've Eaten The Sun So My Tongue
Has Been Burned Of The Taste
I Have Been Guilty
Of Kicking Myself In The Teeth
I Will Speak No More
Of My Feelings Beneath

Oh I Want To Be Inside Of You

Down In A Hole, Losin' My Soul
Down In A Hole, Feelin' So Small
Down In A Hole, Losin' My Soul
Down In A Hole, Out Of Control

I'd Like To Fly
But My Wings Have Been So Denied

And the point is ?????

 

[LordMagicMan]

And the point is ?????

Good question

 

[mfs686]

Do you have a good answer ???

 

[LordMagicMan]

I feel trapped. I feel like I can't get out. I feel like this is an eternal rut.

Is it because my life is about to change for good and theres no way to stop it? Am I scared of the future? Why do I feel this way? And why do I share it here. Why don't I just swallow it down...

All through life I never cared what people thought, I have always been who I have always been, fuck the world if they don't like me. Why is it so suddenly important to be accepted?





Sorry I'm rambling...

 

[His_kitty]

Good question

You want to be in a hole?

Sorry I'm rambling...

Because you're getting older. Sucks doesn't it?

Sometimes I catch myself muttering the same words my mother did when I was growing up. "What will the neighbor's think"

I'd like to go back to the time when I would think, so what? Who cares what they think.

 

[LordMagicMan]

Would I feel this way if things where more defent.... I feel like I'm plundging into the unknown. I've been working for years, but I feel so lost now. I feel like my future is so indefent. These next 2 weeks could mean alot about my future. Is this a form of an anxiety attack? Expressing my feelings to a bunch of people I hardly know. Telling them things I wouldn't tell my parents. Where do I go from here? I can't see the next step to take it, I feel so lost...

anyway I'm going to shut up before I make anymore of an ass of myself...

 

[Linedrive]

To seek the answer, you must break down the words...

Bury Me Softly In This Womb
I Give This Part Of Me For You
Sand Rains Down And Here I Sit
Holding Rare Flowers
In A Tomb.....In Bloom

In this part, LMM wants to be a child again, and he yearns for his native village in the desert of Saudi Arabia,

Down In A Hole And I Don't Know
If I Can Be Saved
See My Heart I Decorate It
Like A Grave
You Don't Understand Who They
Thought I Was Supposed To Be
Look At Me Now A Man
Who Won't Let Himself Be

In this part, LMM is expressing the pain his heart is suffering and questioning whether he is too far gone to be saved.

Down In A Hole, Losin' My Soul
Down In A Hole, Losin' Control
I'd Like To Fly
But My Wings Have Been So Denied

In this part, LMM has given up all hope

Down In A Hole And They've Put All
The Stones In Their Place
I've Eaten The Sun So My Tongue
Has Been Burned Of The Taste
I Have Been Guilty
Of Kicking Myself In The Teeth
I Will Speak No More
Of My Feelings Beneath

In this part, LMM is refering to a recent trip to the Spicy Burrito factory he took, and the three day bender he is about to embark upon.


Oh I Want To Be Inside Of You

Down In A Hole, Losin' My Soul
Down In A Hole, Feelin' So Small
Down In A Hole, Losin' My Soul
Down In A Hole, Out Of Control

I'd Like To Fly
But My Wings Have Been So Denied

Here LMM is trying to release the pent up anger he has towards his cable company for cutting him off in the middle of a Soul Train episode.

kinda like a cloud i was up way up in the sky and i was feeling some feelings
you wouldn't believe sometimes i don't believe them myself and i decided i was
never coming down. just then a tiny little dot caught my eye it was just about
too small to see. but i watched it way too long and that dot was pulling me
down.

Chorus: i was up about it.
i was up above it.
now i'm down in it
i was up above it.
i was up above it.
now i'm down in it

well shut up so what what does it matter now. i was swimming in the haze now i
crawl on the ground. and everything i never liked about you is kind of seeping
into me. try to laugh about it now but isn't it funny how everything works
out ("I guess the jokes on me." she said)

Chorus

i used to be so big and strong.
i used to know my right from wrong.
i used to never be afraid.
i used to be somebody

i used to have something inside
now just this hole that's open wide.
i used to want it all
i used to be somebody

i'll cross my heart and hope to die but the needle's already in my eye. and
all the world's weight is on my back and i don't even know why. and what i
used to think was me is just a fading memory
i looked him right in the eye and said "goodbye."

Chorus

Because its safer to talk about it without really knowing us, without having to see our faces. We won't judge you as you might fear others in your rl would.

I think its very normal to feel anxious about your future at this point in your life.

 

[LordMagicMan]

Sorry for my rambling...


Thanks His_kitty for care. I appreciate it.

 

[LAVA GODDESSS]

THe hole is deep and dark and lonely.

You start to think, my god if only...

life were better, easier, not tough...

Life is rough, sometimes there isn't enough to smile about

But I'm here, to hug you and give you a shoulder....



(that wasn't meant to be poetic...anyways)

You know *HUGS* I'm here.

 

[Myrrdin]

There I was, a-digging this hole
A hole in the ground, so big and sort of round it was
There was I, digging it deep
It was flat at at the bottom
and the sides were steep
When along, comes this bloke in a bowler which he lifted and scratched his head
Well we looked down the hole, poor demented soul and he said

Do you mind if I make a suggestion?

Don't dig there, dig it elsewhere
You're digging it round and it ought to be square
The shape of it's wrong,
it's much much too long
And you can't put hole where a hole don't belong

I ask, what a liberty eh
Nearly bashed him right in the bowler

Well there was I, stood in me hole
Shovelling earth for all I was worth
There was him, standing up there
So grand and official with his nose in the air
So I gave him a look sort of sideways and I leaned on my shovel and sighed

Well I lit me a fag and having took a drag I replied

I just couldn't bear, to dig it elsewhere
I'm digging it round co's I don't want it square
And if you disagree it don't bother me
That's the place where the holes gonna be

Well there we were, discussing this hole
A hole in the groud so big and sort of round
Well it's not there now, the grounds all flat
And beneath it is the bloke in the bowler hat

And that's that
