Forget-Me-Not:

(A rough English translation, a little different from video)

So this is me with the most important armor,
a coward hero that couldn't walk anymore.
The swung sword, wanting to be loved, wanting to protect
is struck in my stretched forth hand, unable to get out of it.

Still staying unrecovered, life goes on.

Oh Everything turns from ash to ash
Life aims at the beyond.
Dragging along the sins and pain that hurt me.

And everything turns from dust to dust
at the time I return to died soil,
at least I hope a small flower, look, will bloom.
forget-me-not

How do I escape from the monster in front of me,
unable to face each other, I'm a hero that ran away.
It's not the edge, it’s on top of such a planet
I bounce around from this place to the same again.

I just repeat, life goes on.

Oh Everything turns from ash to ash
Life searches for a mark.
Swallowed up by a fate that bares its fangs, it disappears.

And everything turns from dust to dust
If even the wheel tracks, that kept on running away will one day
change for the sake of someone, into a road.
forget-me-not

Pulmonary respiration by deep-sea fish.
Birds that can't ride the wind too,
Do they know there know where the trip is going?
We might not meet anymore,
But you're there.
Only that, only that is good for me!

My body changes into ash.
My memories turn to dust.
Not satisfied by one character* of history, it's only ending.

Even so, I'm aiming for the beyond.
Even so, I'm searching for a mark.
Wanting to know my reason to live, wanting to lose my meaning.

Oh Everything turns from ash to ash
Life faces the beyond.
Embrace the unvanishing sins and pain.

And everything turns from dust to dust
at the time I return to died soil,
at least I hope a small flower, look, will bloom.
forget-me-not
forget-me-not
forget-me-not

Ash to ash, dust to dust
Please don't forget.

Taking myself back to 1999 a bit.

Language warning - and bizarre music video warning :P

"Sober" by Tool



Except in my case, the problem isn't alcohol or drugs or anything... it's just me. Completely unintentionally, but there comes a point where that doesn't really matter.

There's also this that I think works as a great metaphor for my recurring depression.



I'll write out the lyrics since they don't start until halfway through the song.

"Flood" by Tool

All I knew, all I believed
Are crumbling images that no longer comfort me
Scramble to reach higher ground
Order and sanity
Something to comfort me

So I take what is mine, hold what is mine
Suffocate what is mine, bury what's mine
Soon the water will come and claim what is mine
I must leave it behind and climb to a new place now

This ground is not the rock I'd thought it to be

Thought I was high, thought I was free
Thought I was there, divine destiny
I was wrong
This changes everything

Running away, running away
Running away, running away
Running away, running away
Running away, running away

I take what is mine, hold what is mine
Suffocate what is mine, bury what's mine
Soon the water will come and claim what is mine
I must leave it behind and climb to a new place

Water rising up on me
Said water rising up on me
Thought the sun would come deliver me
But the truth has come to punish me instead

Dying

Ground breaks down right under me
Cleanse and purge me in the water
