Start The Machine

I'm on a recent Angels & Airwaves kick. They're unbelievable.
Big surprise, right? While I'm typing, I'm multitasking and taking in the socio/spiritual and ethical musings of Tom Delong's masterful lyric writing skills. The song: "Start The Machine." It might read as though I'm being sarcastic, but I implore you: there is no sarcasm to be had here. Read the lyrics:

The ash set in then blew away
It's getting lost into the sea
I grew so close to all the thoughts I had to leave forever.
I left the chill and voice of screams and kids; and ran for shelter.

You know, I won't say sorry.
You know, I won't say sorry;
The pain has a bad reaction, a blend of fear and passion.
You know what it's like to believe.
It makes me wanna scream.

I see a glow from far away
A faint reflection on the sea
I left some words quite far from here to be a short reminder.
I laid them out in stone in case they need to last forever.

You know I won't say sorry.
you know I won't say sorry.
The pain has a bad reaction.
A blend, of fear and passion.
You know what it's like to believe,
It makes me wanna scream.

I see the stars they’re in your eyes
A playful kiss, can't you tell I'm excited?
A fast escape in the nick of time
You lost your wish, can I help you to find it?
I'm on my knee, just one to start
A fresh new start, Don't be undecided

If love’s the word that you say, say it. I will listen.



...Don't even let me start on this one. More to come soon.
