Amber Wine Falls Into A Cracked Cup... (lyrics, house, quote)

**sleepy jack** · 07-30-2006, 04:31 AM

Recalling you,
I lose myself in a world of mirrors
Realizing my own neurosis,
My own shameful pride,
I expected a door but got a window,
I was viewing this World wrong,
It couldn't be figured out with logic,
No, not every problem is a textbook,
For what good can numbers do you
if our bridge has become ashes
& is now floating on the Atlantic?

Its like when we were kids
Everything was simple,
No logic dictated our lives, amber
You use to tell me
"A red light keeps the monsters away"
I analyzed that, and saw no sense in your words,
I kept my night-light unplugged,
for how could a light stop a demon?
I cried myself to sleep as the wind howled,
And the moon showed the monster all around me,

I ran to your house in the morning and
Told you about all the bad things,
You said "Oh sweet ethan, its not the
light that keeps them away, its the comfort
of the glow. Its the simple things you know".
I lived in what I thought was ignorance for years,
With a red light always in my room,
Even when you moved away as soon
As the night came, i'd see the glow,
I'd Rest softly, thinking of you.

& now im wasted,
no longer the boy you once knew,
Our bridge collapsed under the strain
Of our sick vanity,
Coughing in a bathroom,
i'll cry myself to sleep,
being attacked by the monster in me,
Oh amber, you fell into my glass,
But my glass was cracked,
You provided a temporary Tape,
But even the strong wear away
Oh amber, wheres the light now?

Fixed.

I liked it. Rather heart felt. I sense there's some meanind to that that only as a reader and not the writer I can't understand.

This reminds me a lot of Conor Oberst lyricss.
Likee.. The imagery reminds me of Fevers and Mirrors.

In a nice way though.
It's a beautiful song.

That's awesome, Ethan.

Well worded, meaningful.

Reminds me of Bright Eyes as well....
Good stuff.

haha, >.> love you scott. & yeah, I can see where the whole Bright Eyes thing comes from aha & thanks everyonee..

its like it reminds me of a bit of alot of good pop rock/ punk/pop punk bands, you've created just the perfect mix of lyric style. Thats great, normaly when you (anyone) writes to much like the music they listen to, it becomes ruined and copied. Yet you seemed to have a lyric style of so many bands - this song might jsut be the best I've red by you. I liked it so much I had to come back and read it a bouch of times over and over, then I had to make a second post..

oh and just wondering, did those things that you have amber saying in the song , - did she actaully ever say them?
