Time flies as a crow flies:
In a straight line,
Through you,
Not around you.
Your life is only that with which
Time
Has its way with you.
Oh man, Where Did I Go Wrong by Martin Sexton always makes me tear up.
A little snippet:
Was it something I said or did or didn’t do
Was all I had not enough for you
Tell me where did I go wrong with you
Life it seems will fade away
Drifting further every day
Getting lost within myself
Nothing matters no one else
I have lost the will to live
Simply nothing more to give
There is nothing more for me
Need the end to set me free
–Metallica “Fade to Black”
(It goes down hill from there)
Sad lyric in retrospect:
…no, I swear that I don’t have a gun.
–Kurt Cobain “Come As You Are”
Fleetwood Mac - ‘Man Of The World’
“I could tell you about my life
And keep you amused I’m sure
About all the times I’ve cried
And how I don’t want to be sad anymore”
yup. But those two verses are a bit tongue-in-cheek for my tastes, therefore they don’t strike me as sad. However, after the music solo, the next two verses seem to change from parody to seriousness. [last verse only]:
Dont speak to me of lovers
with a broken heart
you wanna know what will really tear you apart?
I’m going out to the barn with a never stopping pain
Going out to the barn to hang myself in shame.
