1. Poe™ (trademarked) is the stage name of Anne "Annie" Decatur Danielewski, an American singer-songwriter, . Her musical style is a blend of rock, folk, and electronic music elements backing intimate lyrical compositions. Poe was signed to Atlantic Records from 1995–2001, where she released two albums (Hello and Haunted); she's currently signed to her own label, RePoezessed Records.
Annie is the daughter of Polish film director Tad Danielewski and his second wife, Priscilla Machold and the sister of author Mark Z. Danielewski. She grew up in Provo, Utah, USA, where her father was a professor at Brigham Young University. She eventually began pursuing her undergraduate studies at Princeton University, where she organized her first band.
Poe's first album, Hello, was released in 1995. Her debut single, "Angry Johnny," got much radio and MTV airplay. The second single "Hello" charted #13 on U.S. Modern Rock Tracks and #1 on U.S. Hot Dance Club Play.
Occupied by extensive small club tours, she was unable to produce a second album until 2000's Haunted. Poe included her late father on Haunted after discovering cassette tapes containing his voice. But listening to them the first time proved so difficult that she was hesitant to use them in her music. "I took these tapes home and I couldn't listen to them," Poe explains. "It was too hard, so I kept finding ways to avoid it. They were sitting on my coffee table next to a boombox." The album also dovetails with themes and concepts from her brother Mark's post-modern novel House of Leaves; the CD and the book were released simultaneously. Poe and Mark toured together across America at Borders Books and Music locations in support of the album and the novel.
A remix of the song, "Hey Pretty", featured Mark reading a passage from the novel. It was released on one of the Haunted singles and became a radio hit. "Hey Pretty" was also the theme to a short-lived MTV soap opera Spyder Games. The show usually ended with bits of the risque video or a picture of the single's cover. In 10 Things I Hate About You the character of Kat has the Poe ball on her schoolbook.
Poe opened for Depeche Mode in 2001, and followed this up with a head-lining US tour. Poe's second album's rising success reached Gold and Top 10 alternative, but was abruptly interrupted by legal disputes. Poe started a campaign which she referred to as the "Re-POE-Session", an attempt to gain control of her master recordings from her former record label, Atlantic Records, because they refused to re-release her albums although she was still under contract. Her dedicated fan base, "The Angry Psychos", supported her fight by passing a "Poe Ball" around the country to show their support. In 2004, both albums were re-released on CD by FEI/Sheridan Square Records, and in downloadable form on various online music stores. The RePoezession was a success.
Poe appeared in the movie Gossip performing the song "My Lips are Sealed" (a cover of The Go-Go's' "Our Lips Are Sealed"), and as a CGI character, Mary Magdalene/Plague, in the PlayStation game Apocalypse. Apocalypse also featured an alternate version of her song, "Control", later released on Haunted.
Her most recent work includes collaborations with Rhys Fulber's solo project, Conjure One. She has had a part in the writing and singing of five songs on Conjure One's albums: "Center of the Sun" and "Make a Wish" on the self-titled first album and "Endless Dream," "One Word" and "Extraordinary Way" on Extraordinary Ways. She is credited as Jane on this later album.
Poe provides the voice of "Single Mother" in the movie musical "Repo! The Genetic Opera", along with other voices.
In November 2007 Poe began collecting mp3 recordings of dream accounts on her website, http://www.repoezessed.com
According to statements on her official forum, Poe is in production on new material.
2. Poe is a electronic music composer based in Ternopil, Ukraine.

Terrible Thought
Poe Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
A terrible thought has moved into my mind
Like an unwanted room-mate drunk on wine
It feeds on my happiness won't pay the rent
I must take proper measures to evict it
A terrible thought has moved into my mind
A giant rat that's nibbling on my pride
It's tearing away my patience and my wit
I must take proper measures set a trap for it
What a terrible thought
I don't care what you've done
I don't care who you've won
I know in the end you'll have your fun
But you can't have it hear
And I won't let you steer
You know I don't want you in my mind
I must stay calm you know and I must be clear
It's gonna take a hundred thoughts to make this one disappear
A train like that could travel a soul for years
A terrible thought could have a terribly long career
What minds have you shredded
I bet they regretted
Having ever thought you up
Just look at you shine
committing your crimes
You know I don't want you in my mind
'Cause you're breaking my stride
You poisonous vine
You're strangling me inside
You're breaking my stride
You poisonous vine
You're strangling me inside
You're breaking my stride
What a terrible thought...
What is your greatest worry because you seem to be worried all the time
Sometimes I can't hear myself think
You have to speak a little louder,
I can't understand a word you're saying
Sometimes I can't hear myself think
Like an unwanted room-mate drunk on wine
It feeds on my happiness won't pay the rent
I must take proper measures to evict it
A terrible thought has moved into my mind
A giant rat that's nibbling on my pride
It's tearing away my patience and my wit
What a terrible thought
I don't care what you've done
I don't care who you've won
I know in the end you'll have your fun
But you can't have it hear
And I won't let you steer
You know I don't want you in my mind
I must stay calm you know and I must be clear
It's gonna take a hundred thoughts to make this one disappear
A train like that could travel a soul for years
A terrible thought could have a terribly long career
What minds have you shredded
I bet they regretted
Having ever thought you up
Just look at you shine
committing your crimes
You know I don't want you in my mind
'Cause you're breaking my stride
You poisonous vine
You're strangling me inside
You're breaking my stride
You poisonous vine
You're strangling me inside
You're breaking my stride
What a terrible thought...
What is your greatest worry because you seem to be worried all the time
Sometimes I can't hear myself think
You have to speak a little louder,
I can't understand a word you're saying
Sometimes I can't hear myself think
The song "Terrible Thought" by Poe is about intrusive thoughts and the struggle to get rid of them. The lyrics are written in a narrative style, as if the singer is having a conversation with the thought itself, personifying it as an unwanted roommate or a giant rat. The thought is depicted as a parasite that feeds on the singer's happiness and self-esteem, and the singer must take proper measures to evict it.
The chorus of the song emphasizes the singer's determination to get rid of the terrible thought, despite the fact that it may seem appealing or fun in the short term. The singer recognizes that the thought is toxic and must be removed in order to regain control of their own mind.
The final verse of the song acknowledges the difficulty of banishing such intrusive thoughts, likening them to a train that can travel a soul for years. However, the singer is firm in their resolve to keep trying, recognizing that giving in to the thought would be a defeat. The song ultimately serves as an anthem for those struggling with intrusive thoughts, encouraging them to fight back against the negative cycle.

This is NOT the lyrics to Fly Away by Poe, this is a totally different songFly Away Song by Poe VideosLyricsListen It makes sense that it should happen this way That the sky should break, and the earth should shake As if to say: Sure it all matters but in

I wish that I could fly
Into the sky so very high
Just like a dragonfly
I'd fly above the trees
Over the seas in all degrees
To anywhere I please
I want to get away i want to fly away
Yeah yeah yeah i want to get away
I want to fly away yeah yeah yeah
Let's go and see the stars
The milky way or even mars
Where it could all be ours
Let's fade into the sun let your spirit fly
We could be as one
Just for a little fun, yeah
I want to get away i want to fly away
