Love of Strings
Moby Lyrics

Extreme ways are back again
Things have gotten really intense again

Extreme places I didn't know
Places I've never been before that are making me feel uncomfortable

I bought everything new again
I got rid of everything I had and started fresh

Everything that I'd owned
All of my old belongings that were weighing me down

I threw it out the windows, came along
I threw it all out and moved on with my life

Extreme ways I know move apart
The extreme situations that I am familiar with are separating me from others

The colors of my sea
The ever-changing emotions that I feel

Perfect color me
I want to be seen as perfect by others

Extreme ways that help me
The things that I rely on to get me through the night

Help me out at night
Help me through the darkest times of my life

Extreme places I had gone
The places I've been to that were extremely challenging

But never seen any light
But I never found a way out of the darkness

Dirty basements, dirty noise
The dirty and unpleasant places and situations that I've had to endure

Dirty places coming through
The dirty places I've been have left their mark on me

Extreme worlds alone
The extreme situations that I've faced have left me feeling isolated and alone

Did you ever like it planned
Did you ever plan on things getting this extreme or difficult?

I would stand in line for this
I would wait and endure anything to experience this

There's always room in life for this
There's always a place for this in my life

Then it fell apart, fell apart
Everything I had built up suddenly and unexpectedly fell apart

Like it always does, always does
This is a cycle that seems to keep repeating itself

Extreme songs that told me
The intense music that has helped me through tough times

They helped me down every night
The music has provided me comfort during tough and lonely nights

I didn't have much to say
I was struggling and didn't have words to express myself

I didn't get above the light
I didn't rise above my struggles and my emotions

I closed my eyes and closed myself
I shut out the world and everything around me

And closed my world and never opened up to anything
I shut down and didn't allow myself to experience anything new

That could get me along
Things that could help me overcome my struggles

I had to close down everything
I had no other way to deal with my struggles other than shutting down everything

I had to close down my mind
I had to shut down my mind as well since it was getting overwhelming

Too many things to cover me
Too many stresses and burdens were weighing me down

Too much can make me blind
The overwhelming nature of it all can cause me to lose sight of everything else

I've seen so much in so many places
I've had many different and extreme experiences throughout my life

So many heartaches, so many faces
I've had to deal with so much pain and so many individuals who have hurt me in some way

So many dirty things you couldn't believe
I've experienced so many unpleasant and shocking situations that it's hard for others to fathom

It's always good in life for this
This is a crucial part of my life that always helps me out
