Lampshade – Kashmir

In my honest opinion, the last part of this song features unmeasurably intriguing lyrics, my sincere respect to the man:

you’re a vanishing image of what i thought I knew
but it comes to show
that the man I know
has a fading glow
in a white lampshade

tell me lamshade the truth did you cover his soul
did you protect all the horrible
I shall tear you apart so that everyone knows
what he’s been carrying around

tell me lampshade what is it you’re trying to hide
under your stinky old corduroy
I shall rip and be shattered by the shrapnell of light
that I’ve been choking on always

there’s a dog barking close within the range of my ear
sounds like he wants to escape the chain
he would probably bite me to death if he could
but the chain lets me spit in his face

like the dog has a chain clinging tight to it’s neck
this man is tied to his secrecy
I would like to have killed him off in this last verse
but instead I removed his lampshade

For those of you who understand Spanish, the lyrics to this song are quite impressive, give it a read (and if you have a change, listen to it):

Que bonito es el miedo cuando es sincero
que brillante el futuro cuando es oscuro
que exquisito el delito cuando lo grito
cuando lo grito.

Una vida más tarde comprenderemos
que en la vida perdimos
sólo por miedo.

Que belleza la vida cuando se olvida
que profunda la herida si está dormida
que segura una barca a la deriva
a la deriva.

De qué sirve la calma si no me salva
cúanto vale mi alma si no cabalga
dónde va la esperanza si no me alcanza
si no me alcanza.

Que bonito es el miedo cuando es sincero
que salvaje el deseo cuando te veo
quíen pudiera decirte lo que te quiero
cúanto te quiero.

When you’re back in your old neighborhood
The cigarettes taste so good
But you’re so misunderstood
You’re so misunderstood

There’s something there that you can’t find
Honest when you’re tellin’ a lie
You hurt her but you don’t know why
You love her but you don’t know why
Short on long term goals
There’s a party there that we oughtta go to
Do you still love rock and roll?
Do you still love rock and roll?

It’s only a quarter to three
Reflecting off your C.D.
You’re looking at a picture of me
You’re staring at a picture of me
Take the guitar player for a ride
He ain’t never been satisfied
He thinks he owes some kind of debt
Be years before he gets over it
There’s a fortune inside your head

All you touch turns to lead
You think you might just crawl back in bed
The fortune inside your head
You know you’re just a mama’s boy
Positively unemployed
So misunderstood
So misunderstood

I know you’re gotta God shaped hole
So misunderstood [x4]

I’d like to thank you all for nothin’
I’d like to thank you all for nothin’ at all
I’d like to thank you all for nothin’
Nothin’ [x4]
Nothin’ at all
Nothin’ [x3]
Nothin’ at all
