Why

Why is the end of love only tears
tears of farewell and goodbye
Why does it have to end like this,
hurting both too much,
blinding us from the light
Happy, shared memories turn bad, bittersweet
too painful to hold
Why isn't love forever
if losing it makes you old and sick

Why does it seem so desperate to live
live without you shielding me
Why were we the weak ones,
unable to keep this alive for any longer
Is happiness really an illusion,
a pretty picture I believed to be true
I seek for an explanation to grasp this all
but how could a feeling be reasonable
Why should we pick ourselves up
if we're going to be broken again

Why don't I feel relief now
now when I eventually know it's over
when I don't have to tiptoe anymore
I guess nurturing our love was still better
than see it fade and die
Why doesn't love become meaningless
before the end comes and destroys everything
Why are only the cliches left from our words
we sealed our promises with?

Inspired by Onew's and Jonghyun's duet "Tragedy". Yes, I know, it's sappy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fybct2F8Ixw&feature=related

Obsession

This waiting drives me crazy
as my ears are ringing with your voice
seductive words
You're spinning my mind into a mess
When did this get this complicated?

Like a butterfly you flutter further
your promises carrying you away like wings
Truth or dare, it's a game
I'm waiting so patiently
even when my beautiful memories turn back the time

I'm overwhelmed by your presence when you're near
Then again you escape out of my reach
like a butterfly following the wind
Ever so slowly you disappear
and I'm left to wonder whether it's real or not

My ears are filled with your words,
so soft and tempting
And I'm insane, being drawn to you isn't healthy
It's a game and if one of us wins, the other must lose
Can your beaty be sacrificed?

Inspired by SHINee's Ring Ding Dong Remix Version. This song is so catchy and it inspires my time after time... here's the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pI5QDmR-2cs&feature=related

Not forever

The sweet sound of break up
can you hear it, can you bear it
Love is not forever
if you don't build it immortal
Crumbling, crumbling
pieces fall down, fall hard
for someone to pick them up

Bittersweet scent of end
can you feel it lingering
We all must die sooner or later
and what we make won't last any longer
You have love or you don't
why is it so complicated
See the shards flowing in the air

Love is not forever
if you don't let it live
Romeo and Juliette,
they rather sacrificed themselves than their affection
And the world will never forget their names
We didn't have to face this
but we turned the prediction true

We never had enough faith

See the pieces falling apart
covering hearts like thin lace

Diva

Can't you get your voice to be heard
well of course not when you're not a part of the gang
It's easy to yell from the outside
but why would you expect someone to listen
They don't know that you think you're in
they don't want you to take part
but you just can't comprehend that
Attention seeking diva

And they won't come to you even if you call them by their names
they do register it but don't bother to react
neither would I, if I wasn't observing from the outside
They have a blast, you have your mobile with its games
at least it makes you look busy
though from the corner of your eye you're just concentrating on their laughter
wishing that you were a star, a part of the show

I'd feel sorry for you, if you weren't so ridiculous
and oh so entertaining

I wonder whe will you grow to see yourself like the rest do

Times

I'll miss this when it's over
Time when we had enough courage to make promises
time when we could believe in words only
and trust them to be true
Once in a lifetime
It's already coming to an end
our smiles are crumbling,
it's harder and harder to meet your gaze

I'll miss this, won't you too
Days when we just dreamed
it had nothing to do with reality
when the real world was a joke to us

It just never made us laugh

Like the snow falls, time will cover this soon
I'm glad I was there with you
Like the snow eventually melts, time will fade this away
I will miss our promises then

Inspired by song called "Hot Times" by S.M The Ballad.

Shattered

Am I broken, problems stored in a golden drawer
though would I even notice if they ran free instead
Would that make a big difference
if I already go forward only from force of habit
Inertia, it's hard to stop for any mass once it has stirred forward
is that what recovery is all about,
little by little you start to move on as well

I guess there's some limit on how shattered you can be
There's no way to lengthen this forever
at some point even a reflection will crumble

Am I OK if I know the recipe for healing
I take the help offered and I'm with in the spirit of rebuilding
who can see that I don't believe for one second
that the pieces that slipped from my hands would ever return
Inertia, once you stop it's even more impossible to start moving again
and all your previous struggles go in vain
because what does it matter how great a distance you move,
if the journey ends without a goal anyway

I don't know if I can be crammed into the theories of physics
but can I be more amazing than other pieces of mass
if we all are equal

Translated by Sith Fisto.

Envy

Envy is the most destructive of feelings
More destructive than any poison gas
It turns friends against each other,
The failure's back towards the winner
because this parasite follows success
There's always room for it even within the purest of hearts

Envy is despicable, shameful
No civilized soul will admit it
Surely we are all above it
After rising from childhood's sibling battles to adulthood
And still it won't disappear but comes to you like a friend in need
Slinking as the shadow of fame and fortune

It would be too conceited to say
That I'm free of it, even if it should be the truth
But it shouldn't be a problem, it doesn't harm me
unlike the others that have fallen amidst the envious
As they place themselves in my way
Just like the rest of them

Hope

Light in the end of the tunnel
They say it's there if we dare to see
it should guide us home
or at least to a place better than this
Back our re-built paradise
but after crowling without a direction
I think hope's just an illusion
So pretty and tempting, sure
Aren't pictures always beautiful?
Haven't you heard of photoshop

What we see is a reflection
of what we wish there to be
Imagination really is powerful
and they sound reasonable as they show us how wrong we are
if we doubt
Hope is an illusion, it's like a mirror
giving us what we want it to reflect
Hope exists only when we think of it

It's as amazing as our wildest dreams
just a bit better
to make us think it's true

Perfection

Perfection is nothing but a fantasy
I've built around myself to be my face, to be my frame
I don't need a hide out, I just want some peace occasionally
And oh yes I know how perfection scares you ordinary ones
it looks huge and strong, that's its purpose
I've built it but I don't control it
You see, it is the master, the one I must obey
and it's demanding, it wants it all
All my blood, all my soul, all my skill and gifts
All my attention
And still it's not happy before I'm cold

Perfection is bliss to the one who carries it
to the one who can act like it weights nothing

I must destroy my mistakes for my master
My master will accept only my all
but I think that over the time, over the years
I've spent here, safe
my all has become less and less
and soon everything I was or had will be nothing

That's the price of not beauty but perfection,
the price of not pride but security
