The message of this song is straight out.

this is my 7th and probably the last ever song i'm going to write for this person.

of course she never asked for it. she's probably thinking "is it my fault that i'm too desirable? such girls have all the right to treat such dreamers (me) like dust"

and of course everything is my loss, and this song is totally pointless ^_^ but hell its fun to be bitter sometimes, making goodie-good songs all the time gets boring ^_^

--this song took 3 days in the making, finished the final recording 4:54am of Oct 19th. the toughest part i guess was the lead guitar adlib in the end, and the vocal recording of the semi-roaring choruses ^_^ since im not really used to that kind of singing.. hehehe ^_^ Enjoy!















LISTEN CLOSELY (another song about you)

by ioHann

im wasting brains makin this rhyme
i know that its wrong
i bet its like the nth time
youve listened to this song
coz you know its all about you
i know you're lovin every show
i know im lifting your ego so

(chorus 1)
Listen closely how i sing about
how you burned down
my gallery for you
Listen carefully now that i shout
how you destroyed
every part of me

i bet you're memorizing that chorus line
show your friends how you were never mine
or anybody else's for that matter
how you left each boy so bitter
you're such a goddess
and you'll have nothing less
you're beautiful and marvelous
but to you i'm no more dust

(chorus 2)
Listen closely how i sing about
how you burned down
my gallery for you
Listen carefully now that i shout
how you destroyed
every part of me
coz you're such a goddess
and you know you are a goddess
and to you i am not worthy
and i will never be
send me down on my knees to
do anything to please you
but to you i am not worthy
and i will never be

so how many friends of yours
are listening
to my pathetic cries
all about you
have you told them
how many songs ive written
for you
and the lengths i went to do

(rap)
im tellin you now girl, this song's its legit
im givin you permission to boast this shit
about this boy who'se so obsessed with you
he'd do anything just to try to impress you
but shit dont work, coz youre a primma donna
playin hard to get
got your standards set
too high, to fly for someone like me so wrong
but here i am pretending
that this is a love song

(chorus 3)
Listen closely how i sing about
how you burned down
my gallery of love songs
Listen carefully now i shout
how you destroyed
every part of me
coz you're such a goddess
and you know you are a goddess
and to you i am not worthy
and i will never be
send me down on my knees to
do anything to please you
but to you im never worthy
im not fucking worthy


(adlib)

so how many friends of yours
hear you boasting now
of another song i worte about you

a bit harsh, bunny. i know your pain, but this is a bit too much. this girl is my friend, too, and i know she isn't exactly as you see her. it's well done, but i can read through your lyrics and i don't like the sites. hope you're okay bunny... we should talk.

thanks Kitty, but don't take the song too seriously. "she" may have inspired it, but this is a song, not a blog. this was done for artistic purposes, and such things need 'inspiration' or at lest a source of strong emotion. it doesn't mean this is how i feel now, i dont ^_^ but its how i *felt at that particular time 6 months ago.

"why let it out now if its in the *forgotten / forgiven past?"

because it's a feeling so strong i never got to let out in the way i do best. such strong emotions (whether good or bad) are like my artistic fuel. coz being numb kills my productivity. besides, it shouldn't be anything new to you. most of my songs are 'based on true events' but not necessarily to be taken literally ^_^ coz i obviously would intensify it to match the music. (or else i should have committed suicide after my Butterfly Deceptions album)

and besides, who knows who she is anyway (nor would she ever get a chance to come by this song)?

this is past ok. if you think i'm unfair, then i respect that. i think i have the right to be. call it karma, human nature, yin yang, or bullshit. i've also come accross the far more expressive blogs and poems of the people i've been "unfair" to.

there's a fine line between Art and Reality. it may be too fine, but to me there still is. or else we wouldn't be friends now, would we?
