I never knew this could happen to me
I know now fragility
I know there's people who I haven't told
I know of people who are getting old
Wish I could speak in just one sweep
What you are and what you mean to me
Instead I mumble randomly
You stand by and enlighten me
In a dream I lost my teeth again
Calling me woman and half man
Yes in a dream all my teeth fell out
A cracked smile and a silent shout
A cracked smile and a silent shout
If I explain it once thoroughly
He'll have you later 'cause it's never free
You were at the gigantic spree
I caught a glimpse now it haunts me
I caught a glimpse now it haunts me
I know now fragility
I know there's people who I haven't told
I know of people who are getting old
Wish I could speak in just one sweep
What you are and what you mean to me
Instead I mumble randomly
You stand by and enlighten me
In a dream I lost my teeth again
Calling me woman and half man
Yes in a dream all my teeth fell out
A cracked smile and a silent shout
A cracked smile and a silent shout
If I explain it once thoroughly
He'll have you later 'cause it's never free
You were at the gigantic spree
I caught a glimpse now it haunts me
I caught a glimpse now it haunts me
The Knife ~ Silent Shout
WOW. Such powerful sketches and the poem really packs a punch. The line "In a dream I lost my teeth again, Calling me woman and half man" there's something about that that I really relate to. Maybe it's because I've had dreams of losing teeth and the struggle to find a balance between my feminine and masculine sides, harmony with them both within one person. I know I've read the dream interpretation of losing teeth before but now I've forgotten. I'm going to just assume it has something to do with feeling a lack of control... Anyway, I really look forward to seeing how this blog evolves.
