A night like this
The Cure敵 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If it's the last thing we ever do
You never looked as lost as this
Sometimes it doesn't even look like you
It goes dark
It goes darker still
Please stay
But I watch you like I'm made of stone
I'm coming to find you if it takes me all night
A witch hunt for another girl
For always and ever is always for you
Your trust
The most gorgeously stupid thing I ever cut in the world
Say hello on a day like today
Say it every time you move
The way that you look at me now
Makes me wish I was you
It goes deep
It goes deeper still
This touch
And the smile and the shake of your head
I'm coming to find you if it takes me all night
Can't stand here like this anymore
For always and ever is always for you
I want it to be perfect
Like before
I want to change it all
I want to change
everything
The song A Night Like This by The Cure is a melancholy ballad that delves into the harrowing emotions of a breakup. The lyrics are cryptic but the forlorn feeling stands out. The opening lines, "Say goodbye on a night like this, If it's the last thing we ever do," seem to suggest a final goodbye between two people who deeply love and understand each other. The singer then watches his loved one leave him, and he feels helpless and alone. The line, "But I watch you like I'm made of stone, As you walk away," highlights this feeling of detachment and helplessness.
The next verse is about the singer's desperation to find his loved one. He is willing to go to great lengths, even a witch hunt, to find her. The line, "Your trust, the most gorgeously stupid thing I ever cut in the world," is the most intriguing line of the entire song. It could mean that the singer regrets breaking his loved one's trust, or that he thinks trust is stupid but beautiful. It is open to interpretation.
The final verse shows the singer trying to move on from the breakup but failing miserably. He is haunted by the past and just wants everything to go back to the way it was. The line, "I want to change everything," shows his desperation to move on but also his unwillingness to let go of what he had with his loved one. The song ends on a sad and poignant note, with the singer still grappling with his emotions and unable to let go of his past relationship.

So when you use other people's work that they've created with THEIR talent and THEIR brain, imagination, you at least have to have some decency to pay respect to that person and give them the credit they DESERVE.
This is a video which CLEARLY uses the scenes from Sergei Paradjanov's film called "The Color of Pomegranates" (based on poems of Sayat-Nova - a greatly appreciated musician, poet armenian culture (google that, if you need to educate yourself on this. Judging by the number of likes - a bunch of people DO need that).
It talks about armenian culture, heritage and history.
Parajanov was a genius soviet filmmaker of armenian descent, a world-renowned talent alongside Tarkovsky, Scorsese and others.
His work is to this day studied in universities and considered to be masterpieces (very few filmmakers managed to develop their own unique "language" when making a film.
He did a lot for his art, was in labour camps for his views in the soviet era, had to work in a country with severe censorship.
And, most importantly, he did a lot for his people and has a tremendous legacy around the globe.
This lady is now earning money off of HIS hard work and talent.
In other words, this is yet another example of CULTURAL APPROPRIATION.
Remember this when this person gets another award and will be praised for her aka "imagination" and what not.
It takes literally 2 braincells to steal other's work.
But the gag is...you need to have some smarts to pull that off too, whuch is not the case in the video above.
Don't make mockery of other ethnicities' culture and legacy.
And sure as hell - don't make money off of that.
Give people the credit that they deserve.
Create your own, don't steal other's.
Tip of the day:
Hold your "idols" accountable and don't normalise this type of shitty behavior.
Peace
