Digg it!5. Cast No Shadow by Oasis
The Lines That Break:
Bound with all the weight of all the words he tried to say
And as faced the sun he cast no shadow
As they took his soul they stole his pride
The Story:
So utterly hopeless. The bleak, filthy bottom of the emotional barrel that you reach when you realize you’re not worth a fuck to no one.
The Victim:
This was originally written for Richard Ashcroft of the Verve but virtually anyone feeling useless and senseless
4. That s the Way I ve Always Heard It Should Be by Carly Simon
The Lines That Break:
Their children hate them for the things they’re not
They hate themselves for what they are
The Story:
The sentiments are so true, it’s funny. It is so true, it’s dangerous. It’s so true, no one wants to hear it. Translation: Marriage is scary.
The Victim:
Married couples AT LEAST at one point in their lives.
3. The Sad Café by Eagles
The Lines That Break:
Some of their dreams came true
Some just passed away
And some of them stayed behind
Inside the sad cafe.
The Story:
They recently performed after what seems to be a thousand years of absence and they said ‘for the record, we didn’t break up. We just took a break.’ I believe that. In this song, you could hear it. They love being The Eagles but weren’t particularly liking it at that stage. They wanted something else to happen, something to change, but everything remained the same. It was only a matter of time till they ‘take a break’.
The Victim:
Anyone who has been in a relationship so long and have forgotten why they are there in the first place.
2. Black by Pearl Jam
The Lines That Break:
I know someday you’ll have a beautiful life
I know you’ll be a sun
In somebody else’s sky
But why? Why?
Why can’t it be
Why can’t it be mine
The Story:
Hands up anyone who will agree with this. The absolute worst thing about losing someone is the helplessness especially if you know it was you who screwed up.
The Victim:
Unfortunately the one who left for being so hurt and the one left behind because he fuckin’ deserve it.
