Welcome once again to Music Monday where I offer you all a song that I really like. If anyone wants to join in then please feel free to have a go! 🙂
As I Lay Dying: Parallels.
We are all comatose
We are overfed and under, undernourished, yearning for something more
Never starving yet never quite satisfied
Carnal but without useful flesh or mindI am a walking contradiction that’s found consistency
Consuming everything, all without producing sustenanceIn the parallels we struggle, struggle to upkeep
There is a better way for us to be set free
From all it is we crave, there must be more to life than to simply stay alive
To simply stay aliveWe are not the same as I hope to show
There is a better way if we just let go
We are not, we are not the same
We are not, we are not the same
Let goIn the tension between devouring want or simple need
It’s clear the only lines between the ones we preserveWe are not the same as I hope to show
There is a better way if we just let go
We are not, we are not the same
We are not, we are not the same
Let go
We are not the sameAnd in the parallels we struggle to upkeep
There’s a better way for us to be, for us to be set free
And in the parallels we struggle to upkeep
There’s a better way for us to be, for us to be set freeWe are not the same as I hope to show
There is a better way if we just let go
We are not, we are not the same
We are not, we are not the same
Let go
We are not the same

I support this very metal post! Having not listened to this particular As I Lay Dying song, I really enjoyed it. Do you get into any Bullet for my Valentine, Mr. Tattooed Book Geek? 🤠

I don’t mind them, I had their Tears Don’t Fall song on a previous Music Monday post. In recent years I’ve not really listened to them much, used to listen to them a lot during the era they released The Poison and Scream, Aim Fire though.

Our tastes this week are very different. Here’s mine. Much more mellow.
