SOTD – Rasputina “My Porcelain Life”
Blah! I can’t find this song online anywhere to link to, so I will just link to a sample from Amazon.
It’s so quiet and calm and sad and lyrically lovely. I. Love. It.
You should buy this album, it’s pretty fantastico. Another song from it (Holocaust of Giants) is available for free download on Amazon right now, and I love that song too, so at least check that one out.
Rasputina “My Porcelain Life”
Filed under: SOTD | Comment (0)This letter you get it,
You burn it,
Forget it
It’s not what I meant to say
You might think me a scapegrace
Really a fugitive in decay
I exist here on an acre of nature
In the diminutive
But I’ll be thinking of you, I would wager
My favorite hypocriteYou are a master of the commerce of friendship
So I put all of my feathers on
I wrote you this letter, I’ll send it
When this foul weather is gone
Of your last words to me I am thinking
And of the depth of your eyes
But you can’t halt the profound shrinking
Of this, my porcelain lifeYou’re vexed that I reject your protection
Well I abhor captivity
I want to live alone in my little section
So very wild and watery
How to preserve my own mistaken perfection?
Or your refined vulgarity
I only tenuously ask you this question
Out of a sense it was for clarityYou are a master of the commerce of friendship
So I put all of my feathers on
I wrote you this letter, I send it
When this foul weather is gone
Of your last words to me I am thinking
And of the depth of your eyes
But you can’t halt the profound shrinking
Of this, my porcelain lifeMy porcelain life
My porcelain life
I find it very breakable
My porcelain life
