Approximately 3 weeks have gone by since i got „infected” (what a good definition, it’s really like an infection) with LTROI, and unfortunately i cant get it out my head, which reaallly should be somewhere else… Almost everything makes me think of LTROI. I dont like my thoughts being narrowed this much in, but right now in cant help it, i guess sooner or later it will pass away.
But this has some funny side effects, like when i’m listening to songs which totally have nothing to do with LTROI, and now i find them as exact allusions or hints to LTROI.
I will share you three songs from different genres (varietas delectat, you know) I have known before the infection, but now they have a new meaning for me as well. I would like to ask, if anybody had something similar experience, and if yes, then i would like to encourage him to share that with me… My musical taste my improve this way.
First rule of… this game is that the songs must have a connection to LTROI, either in the lyric, or in the mood of the song. The second rule of this is to have fun by collecting sensations.
The „good”: Rhian Sheehan: Standing In Silence (Part 3)
This song represents Eli for me as and innocent child. This song is instrumental, so there is no lyric. I articulate this song into parts. In the first part i hear a music box, which is somehow broken and unsure, just like Eli. Then as the music advances (as Eli meets Oskar) the tune grows stronger and clearer, it becomes selfconfident and happy. At the end the music gets a bit fallen apart again, as our protagonists, since they dont know what their future will be like.
The „bad”: GNR: Rocket queen.
I attribute this song to Eli as a predator/lover (she is Axl), and her Rocket queen is Oskar. Let’s try not to get stuck at this gender-thing again.
First starts with cold guitar riffs which suggest threat, or at least hostile neutrality. It gets faster, and Axl starts a game. He cites things that perfectly suit Eli. Like Eli is a predator and wants to play, but her game is dangerous she is the gamemaste, and you might get hurt when playing. She/Axl tells us cold facts about theirselves, in a mocking way.
And then in the second part everything is upside down. The song turns into a confession. In the first part of it Axl/Eli tries handle this confession like it would be between two equals, but in the end it becomes a begging. Just like when Eli offered herself to Oskar.
Here are the words:
If I say I don't need anyone
I can say these things to you
'Cause
I can turn on any one
Just like I turned on you
I've got a tongue like a razor
A sweet switchblade knife
And I can do you favors
But then you'll do whatever I like
Chorus:
Here I am
And you're a Rocket Queen
I might be a little young
But honey I ain't naive
Here I am
And you're a Rocket Queen oh yeah
I might be too much
But honey you're a bit obscene
I've seen everything imaginable
Pass before these eyes
I've had everything that's tangible
Honey you'd be surprised
I'm a sexual innuendo
In this burned out paradise
If you turn me on to anything
You better turn me on tonight
Chorus
I see you standing
Standing on your own
It's such a lonely place for you
For you to be
If you need a shoulder
Or if you need a friend
I'll bee here standing
Until the bitter end
No one needs the sorrow
No one needs the pain
I hate to see you
Walking out there
Out in the rain
So don't chastise me
Or think I, I mean you harm
Of those that take you
Leave you strung out
Much too far
Baby-yeah
Don't ever leave me
Say you'll always be there
All I ever wanted
Was for you
To know that I care
And the ugly:
If Eli would break up with Oskar i would want Oskar to send her this song (i find the lyric a total hit). I figure no explanation is required. Hello nasty!
Tell me tell me is life just a playground
Think you're the real deal honey
and someone'll always look after you
but wake up baby
you're so totally deluded
you'll end up old and lonely
if you don't get a bullet in your head
good luck good luck
good luck in your new bed
enjoy your nightmares honey
when you're resting your head
you sold me sold me
sold me down the river now
hope you're feeling happy now
now you'll always have a sneer in your smile
but wake up baby
you're so totally deluded
you'll end up old and lonely
if you don't get a bullet in your head
good luck good luck
good luck in your new bed
enjoy your nightmares honey
when you're resting your head
I hope i have awaken your interest. If not, lets forget this.
