"Pictures of You" - The Cure
Blogger was broken last night and I actually had a lot to write (of course). I'm caught in the middle of something at the moment, but I had to take a moment to put this song up. It's been following me. True story. Seriously, following me.
It's been a while already, but it was around 2 in the morning when I first noticed it. I was suffering from one of my many "I can't sleep, but I'm trying to fool myself into keeping my curfew" kinda nights. A night of staring at my phone wondering who I should "drunk" dial even though I wasn't drunk. I was bored and uninspired when I decided to look up The Cure. I haven't blogged about them yet, which is surprising considering how depressing people often take them for. I'm not one of those people. I find them to be exquisitely beautiful and melancholy and will melt for anyone who sings this song to me. But they have to sing it well.
I'll be back later when the world is asleep, Dear Blog. There's just so much I have to tell you.
1:03 AM...
Where to begin. You probably won't believe this, but I've never heard this song before (at least not that I can remember or maybe just not all the way through). It was late. I was restless. These things come naturally to me. So, I was surfing through The Cure hoping one day I'll find one for whatever it is I'm feeling now.
I played Love Song, but no, absolutely not. I can't even tell you how far from that I am, but I'm pretty damn far. All I hear is "blah, blah, lies, lies, bullsh*t, bullsh*t, bullsh*t." And if I'm full of it then prove me wrong. Didn't think so. Then I clicked on Boys Don't Cry and yes, they do. They cry harder than girls do. They cry often, they cry ugly and it's all for selfish reasons. I, on the other hand, like how I look when I cry. Sometimes I stare at myself in the mirror to make myself cry. I know it's a little vain and kinda strange, but it's a coping mechanism that seems to work so I go with it. And when I wanna stop I just think of you in tears. I can't feel something for someone who has no feeling behind them. So I moved on to Friday, I'm in Love and Just like Heaven. Ha, really with these songs?! Ha ha, but not in a funny way. Mind you, these are their hits because they're obviously good at provoking genuine emotion, but I just don't buy into it as much as I used to.
Then finally Pictures of You came to me. Since then, it's popped up on random radio stations, appeared in restaurants and coffee shops, and interrupted me as I walked by an office door. It found its way into my Mini and I almost unplugged my iPod until I realized it wasn't plugged in.
It's perfect; so new, I couldn't think of you. All I thought of was how satisfied I felt for finding something that didn't make me gag or fake-cry or miss you. It made me think of just how much you miss me.
Lyrics:
I've been looking so long at these pictures of you that
I almost believe that they're real
I've been living so long with my pictures of you that
I almost believe that the pictures are all I can feel
Remembering you
Standing quiet in the rain as
I ran to your heart to be near
And we kissed as the sky fell in
Holding you close
How I always held close in your fear
Remembering you
Running soft through the night
You were bigger and brighter and whiter than snow
Screamed at the make-believe
Screamed at the sky
And you finally found all your courage to let it all go
Remembering you
Fallen into my arms
Crying for the death of your heart
You were stone white
So delicate
So lost in the cold
You were always so lost in the dark
Remembering you
How you used to be so drowned you were
Angels so much more than everything
Hold for the last time then slip away quietly
Open my eyes but i never see anything
If only I had thought of the right words
I could have held on to your heart
If only I'd thought of the right words
I wouldn't be breaking apart
All my pictures of you
Looking so long at these pictures of you but
Inever hold on to your heart
Looking so long for the words to be true but
Always just breaking apart
My pictures of you
There was nothing in the world that I ever wanted more
Than to feel you deep in my heart
There was nothing in the world that I ever wanted more
Than to never feel the breaking apart
My pictures of you
