drops
Hey Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

My body is a stone,
Still waiting for a sculptor and his chisel.
An undiscovered land,
No claims and no one owner.
Clear as a crystal,
To hell with being pure.
It feels like being crippled,
Like a hunchback.
For just one drop of you,
I'd give up my right arm and my hearing.
Time is running out,
The clock is ticking fast.
Beat it, beat it.
Aging is a spider,
I'm caught up in his web.
Break it, break it.
A veil hides my face,
My chest is ringed with flowers.
Looking younger,
The scent of fragrant oils,




Sneaks well past your defenses.
Goodbye wrinkles.

lyrics:

Now that she's back in the atmosphere
With drops of Jupiter in her hair
She acts like summer and walks like rain
Reminds me that there's time to change
Since the return from her stay on the moon
She listens like spring and talks like June
But tell me, did you sail across the sun?
Did you make it to the Milky Way
To see the lights all faded
And that heaven is overrated?
Tell me, did you fall for a shooting star?
One without a permanent scar
And did you miss me while you were looking for yourself out there?
Now that she's back from that soul vacation
Tracing her way through the constellation
She's checked out Mozart while she does Tae Bo
Reminds me that there's room to grow
Now that she's back in the atmosphere
I'm afraid that she might think of me as plain ol' Jane
Told a story about a man who is too afraid to fly
So he never did land
But tell me, did the wind sweep you off your feet?
Did you finally get the chance
To dance along the light of day?
And head back to the Milky Way
And tell me, did Venus blow your mind?
Was it everything you wanted to find?
And did you miss me while you were looking for yourself out there?
Can you imagine no love, pride, deep-fried chicken
Your best friend always sticking up for you
Even when I know you're wrong
Can you imagine no first dance
Freeze dried romance, five-hour phone conversation
The best soy latte that you ever had, and me
But tell me, did the wind sweep you off your feet?
Did you finally get the chance
To dance along the light of day?
And head back to the Milky Way
And tell me, did you sail across the sun?
Did you make it to the Milky Way
To see the lights all faded?
And that heaven is overrated
And tell me, did you fall for a shooting star?
One without a permanent scar
And did you miss me while you were looking for yourself?
And did you finally get the chance
To dance along the light of day?
Oh and did you fall for a shooting star?
Fall for a shooting star
And are you lonely looking for yourself out there?

I'm a straight up hip hop head, but yet this has been my guilty pleasure for the past week. Stumbled across it, and now it has a grip on me

My younger brother committed suicide last weekend by overdosing on something. He was found with headphones on, presumably listening to something. This is his youtube account. He made a playlist containing 6 songs that was edited the day he passed. This is one of the 6 songs. With the method he used, he was dead after about 30 minutes, probably unconscious around 12 minutes. I like to think that it was peaceful for him with his music on. I love you Myles, I'll miss you everyday for the rest of my life.
