an admirer admiring Admiration

Admiration
Could you move in slow motion?

Everything goes by so fast
Just slow down a little
Save the best part for last

You speak in riddles
Your intentions turn me on
I'm yours forever
Will you love me when I'm gone?

You're an unfenced fire
Over walls we travel
It's you I admire
My living example

Your eyes are an undiscovered ocean far away
Any minute now keeping
Both poets and priests at bay
Don't get ahead of me
Could we just this once see eye to eye?
What you offer has me
Ask me how it feels to vie

You're an unfenced fire
Over walls we travel
It's you I admire
My living example

It's a photograph discovered a decade after
It's a cannon blast disguised as a firecracker
It's enough to bring a brick wall to its knees
And sing, please

Could you move in slow motion?
Everything goes by so fast
Just slow down a little
Save the best part for last

You're an unfenced fire
Over walls we travel
It's you I admire
My living example




Why...

Why...

Why, why, why.....

Why is this man so enchanting! So talented, so gifted, so... he's so many things! If his lyrics aren't beautiful, his voice is enough so, that you'll like the song (and him!) - for a while, at the very least. This is entirely speaking on my behalf, but Brandon Boyd is perhaps the most talented musical artist out there. Beyond compare. He can draw, he composes, he plays one instrument at least, he has a lovely, lovely voice, and he's heavenly, just heavenly. A celestial combination of talents equals an irresistible, godly being..... Ahh, I'm exagerrating, but all of these attributes makes one want to be the subject of his love songs, or, more ambitiously, the object of his affection. Because - one should listen closer (or DL the lyrics) - he sounds like he's in love and not at all afraid to let the world know about it. Guys should do that more often - be more expressive, I mean. Anyway, this is the latest piece of music I've heard from the band, "Admiration". The lyrics, the voice, the music..... sigh. It's a musical gem. But! Feel free to differ. It's just a personal opinion. Just don't try convincing me to think otherwise. Hahahaha.
