Outlandish is truly.... outta this world!

How can they be so damned talented? How? How? How? How? How? Comment?!


I had to listen to this three times before I realised it was about AIDS.



"Nothing Left To Do"

Una mirada
Ojos que matan
De rodillas en tentacion

Una palabra y no puede darle el no
Una noche y su alma quiebra con
Tremenda fuerza
Y quien puede reprocharle
Conosco ese momento de flojedad
Veneno tierno que siembra la ansiedad
Cada día tan confuso
Sus demonios fuertes intrusos
Cada noche su alma apuesta

[Translation]
One look
Eyes that could kill
Brought to his knees by temptation

One word and he can't say no
One night and his soul is being torn
With tremendous force
And who can blame him
I recognize this moment of weakness
Fresh poison cultivates the anxiety
Each day so confusing
His demons closing in on him
Each night his soul is at stake

Warm smile - long blond hair
Pretty green eyes and skin damned fair
For sure lucky to get with a girl like that
Couldn't pass this chance no matter what
Shared a rock then went to her place
Substances and adrenalin made his heart race
So unreal floating on a white cloud
So surreal premonition of a white shroud

Pretty woman though, not all she seemed
Soon grim reality and not a dream
Wasn't the first certainly not her last
Moment of weakness, became victim of her past

Had his night of empty pleasure with his Belle
If he could only escape from this hell
Turn back time, but time gone, too late
Nothing left to do but lean back and sit & wait
Nothing left to do but lean back and sit & wait
Nothing left to do but lean back, lean back,lean back
Nothing left to do but lean back and sit & wait

Mocking and slandering won't relent
Day after day giving no chance to repent
Routinely insulted no concern or respect
No chance to ponder or chance to reflect
World around him getting' colder
Heavy burden carried on his shoulders
Tellin' him "I told YA"
None to turn to and no support
No shoulder to cry on for his life cut short

Pretty woman though, not all she seemed
Soon grim reality and not a dream
Wasn't the first certainly not her last
Moment of weakness, became victim of her past

Had his night of empty pleasure with his Belle
If he could only escape from this hell
Turn back time, but time gone, too late
Nothing left to do but lean back and sit & wait
Nothing left to do but lean back and sit & wait
Nothing left to do but lean back, lean back, lean back
Nothing left to do but lean back and sit & wait

Positive reults, result of his whim
But this bs should happen to others not him
The poison slowly runnin' through his blood
Judged and damned by men as if they' God
Lord knows that it's hard
Frozen out by best friends and excluded
Spend his cold dark days alone and secluded
What life is about
Thoughts running between confusion and doubt
Fading gradually like a tree from drought

Mmm gettin' weaker day by day future lookin' bleaker
Suffering in pain slowly dying mama crying
Eatin' by this virus slowly fading away hey
Fading gradually like a tree from drought

Had his night of empty pleasure with his Belle
If he could only escape from this hell
Turn back time, but time gone, too late
Nothing left to do but lean back and sit & wait
Nothing left to do but lean back and sit & wait
Nothing left to do but lean back, lean back, lean back
Nothing left to do but lean back and sit & wait

Had his night of empty pleasure with his Belle
If he could only escape from this hell
Turn back time, but time gone, too late
Nothing left to do but lean back and sit & wait
Nothing left to do but lean back and sit & wait
Nothing left to do but lean back, lean back,

lean back
Nothing left to do but lean back and sit & wait





Outlandish - Out Of Sight



She was doing dishes*
When momma noticed the cuts
Almost called her bluff
Told her to scratch it off
Surprised, but momma didn't make much notice about it
And now she went to sleep and left her alone

[CHORUS:]
And she said like
(oh oh )
She knows like
(oh oh)
She feel like
(she don't want nobody to know)
She love like
(oh)
So strong like
(keep it low)

Her friends noticed something strange
trippin as well
why can't she find the right words to tell
the marks on her arm was something she done secretly
crying her heart out feeling so torn
[ Outlandish Lyrics are found on www.dapslyrics.com ]

[CHORUS]

Yeah, say what you want but
you all alone and all the time it's hard to see love
probably some teen stuff
I know you want mine
Because I ain't got the time
We scratch the surface some other time, aight?
Speaking of which I heard a rumor going around about ya
Oh I'm sorry if it sounds feels like i'm bothering ya
Why keep it all inside? It's like dying alive
Quiet water runs deep, it shows in your eyes

Hey, trying to cope with pain misunderstood alot
Upset in the rain, she wish she could make it stop
She feels the need to do what's inside her brain starts to connect the false relief to the act of hurting

[CHORUS]

[Lenny's part] (ha ha! It's just espagnol, not Esperanto!)

[CHORUS]

I'd say they make me orgasm, in the holiest and purest of ways.... I just keep on discovering new songs....




Eyes Never Dry - Outlandish

[Intro]
Ain't gonna be the one who's lost
One who's gone
...One who's wrong, no
Don't wanna be the falling one
Crawling one
Drowning one, no
What a beautiful day today
And I can't get a lil' smile from ya
Should've known about everything
I guess, I wasn't made up for what u wanted to
Still the meaning ain't clear
Somebody keeps crying in the morning
And it never dries
I gotta find a way out of the moaning
And I hope I'll get it done in due time
Sure, life is hard
Sure, time is now
Just keep on believing
And u gon' be winnin' 'em all
In due time...

Sista
Brotha
The Lord gon'
Be there

[Chorus]

It's all gon' be alright
You ain't got's to cry
Day in & day out
Eyes never dry

It's all gon' be alright
You ain't got's to cry
Day in & day out
Eyes are never dry

[Rap verse1 (Waqas)]

In the name of the most beneficent the most high
He who holds my soul before and after I die
See I'm lost in confusion so please help me lord
I wanna act right but can't play my cards right
Don't let me go astray show me the right path
So I can be amongst the righteous and not those who catch your wrath
Any fool can make a baby only a man can raise one
June 17th you granted me a son
I know the first look is forgiven but the second isn't
But I'm already at my 5th lord now I wish I'd listened
To the truth I know a part of it still in denial
If I knew what your loved one knew I would barely smile

[Chorus]

[Rap verse2 (Lenny)]

Perdon senor
Por todos mis pecados
Aqui estoy llorando
Ante mi cama arrodillado
Senor mio yo he pecado
Senor mio yo he herido
A un ser muy querido
A un ser al que yo amo
Y que siempre he respetado
Yo rezo a que la cuides
Que las penas tu le quites

Alumbrale sus pasos
Y los frios de sus anos
Suplico la bendigas
Dale paz a cada uno de sus dias
Besale el camino
Hacerla feliz yo no ha podido
Es lo unico que te pido
Te lo ruego
En el nombre del Padre
Del Hijo y el Espiritu Santo
Amen

[Translation]

Forgive me my Lord
For all my sins
Here I am crying
Kneeled before my bed
My Lord I've sinned
My Lord I've hurted
A dear one
Someone I love
And always have respected
I pray you to take care of her
And that her sorrow you'll take away
Illuminate her steps
And the cold of her years
I supplicate you to bless her
Give peace to every single one of her days
Kiss her way
Coz I couldn't make her happy
This is the only thing I pray to you for
I beg you
In the name of the Father
The Son and the Holy Spirit
Amen

[Bridge]

Sista
Brotha
The Lord gon'
Be there

[Chorus]

[Rap verse3 (Isam)]

Dry ya tears sis I can't stand seeing ya cry
U got so much heart for a lil' girl
U worry like mom
6 years old and she already reads the fam like a book
How come u're so sad kid, don't u worry 'bout it too
So she rather sit next to me so I can explain how it is
How it ain't true her brother is jobless because of his Diin
And it's b.s. when her sista claims her name was the reason for beef
And the fam is full of it when they tell her we gon' leave
Yeah I'm lying to her, but only to see that smile on her face
I'm her role model, whut??? I gots to give the kid faith!!!
I'm prayin that one day she'd be on top of the world
As this pearl puts her veil on
And runs out to her girls...
Knowin'

[Chorus]



I'm sure there's a reason why I am discovering them now and not during my time at Glendon - when I need them most..... il y a des raisons...

The parents

Your Type Four EnneaThought for January 13th— Reflect on your childhood today. As a child, did you believe you were not like your parents? Did you feel that you were not "seen" by your parents and that you did not connect sufficiently with your parents? As an adult, what does this have to do with you now? (The Wisdom of the Enneagram, 182) As I've said myriad times before, these things just slap me in the face with a wet fish most days. I suppose it makes sense that I should send Reiki healing to my relationships with my father and my mother. Haven't really done that for ages. It's too hard sometimes, I choose to ignore and avoid dealing with them mainly because these are the two people I've been connected with since birth. A lot of effort is required in order to 'let things slide'. Living with my dad is hell, and I'm co-creating it on purpose, as part of my desire to annoy, to hurt him the way he hurts me. My mum, well, I guess we'...

Je dois écrire

Je dois écrire . L'ironie est que quand j'avais le temps, je na'i pu pas fair rien . Doesn't matter, I have to write. I keep listening to poets like Keane and Travis and Darren Hayes and I'm here, with the creativity finally bursting forth again, and what's more, the joie de vivre bursting through and I'm not writing and I'm not taking pictures and I'm doing bloody cashier work at Oxfam. I am a swan, I am a seagull that glides and glides. I am the tree, the squirrel. Words are all I have to make myself different from you lot. To make myself lighter, somewhat more worthy. How low is my self esteem that I still believe those falsehoods. I just cannot find people on my wave length. It means I never shall. Or I do and because of my skin colour or because I am behind the Oxfam counter, or because I am in Morden, or London, or the UK, I shall never know. An opera singer. A person who wants to wear kurtis but is scared of going into a desi shop i...

Judgement

Tarot Card Interpretation & Meaning - (20) Judgment Introduction: Judgment can be a card about jumping to conclusions, decisions and judgments. which are too hastily made. If you are prone to such things, this is a clear signal to slow down and give things more thought and to give people "more chances." This can be a real time of spiritual awakening.           General: In general, if you are the one tending to jump to conclusions, you can put a stop to it. If others are making these kinds of decisions about you or about someone you care for, there is really very little you can do, apart from realizing that it's their problem, not yours. Health: This is an important time to let go of the past and any wrongs that you perceive were done to you, particularly if you are dealing with chronic medical issues. Letting go of your need to be right will go a long way toward helping you to feel better. Besides, if ...
