Eigentlich mag ich Einträge nicht, die nur aus Liedtexten bestehen (eigenen auf einem dafür vorgesehenen Blog mal ausgenommen). Aber da ich an mich selbst keinerlei Qualitätsansprüche als Blogger habe, und da ich momentan eh in schein-sowjetischer Wechselstimmung bin, mache ich das trotzdem. Nicht ohne den Hinweis, dass - obwohl Billy Corgan viele grandiose Texte geschrieben hat - der folgende sicher einer der besten Texte ist, den ich je gelesen habe. Und das zu so einem schlechten Film. Batman olé, aber bitte unter Burtons Regie und nicht mit Clooney... egal.

THE END IS THE BEGINNING IS THE END

the sewers belch me up
the heavens spit me out
from ethers tragic i am born again
and now i'm with you now
inside your world of wow
to move in desires made of deadly pretends
till the end times begin

is it bright where you are
have the people changed
does it make you happy you're so strange
and in your darkest hour, i hold secrets flame
you can watch the world devoured in it's pain
strange

climb my ribcage to
the replays run for you
unhook my lights to peek behind the flash
for i am crystal chrome
i am shatter dome
i am kremlin king of angels avenged
to destroy the end

is it bright where you are
have the people changed
does it make you happy you're so strange
and in your darkest hour, i hold secrets flame
you can watch the world devoured in it's pain

the zeppelins rain upon us
the guns of love disastrous
a shadow lies amongst you
to defy the future cast

is it bright where you are
have the people changed
does it make you happy you're so strange
and in your darkest hour, i hold secrets flame
you can watch the world devoured in it's pain
strange
strange

Anmerkung: "the kremlin king" ist übrigens nicht der erste meiner Liedtitel, den ich aus den Texten entnommen habe... es gibt da ein schon sehr altes Lied von uns namens "pale princess" (der Text ist eigentlich sehr böse, das merkt nur keiner...), entnommen aus einer Zeile aus dem Gegenstück:

THE BEGINNING IS THE END IS THE BEGINNING

send a heartbeat to the void that cries through you
relive the pictures that have come to pass
for now we stand alone
the world is lost and blown
and we are flesh and blood disintigrate
with no more to hate

is it bright where you are?
and have the people changed?
does it make you happy you're so strange?
and in your darkest hour, i hold secrets flame
we can watch the world devoured in its pain

delivered from the blast
the last of a line of lasts
the pale princess of a palace cracked
and now the kingdom comes
crashing down undone
and i am a master of a nothing place
of recoil and grace

is it bright where you are?
and have the people changed?
does it make you happy you're so strange?
and in your darkest hour, i hold secrets flame
we can watch the world devoured in its pain

time has stopped before us
the sky cannot ignore us
no one can separate us
for we are all that is left
the echo bounces off me
the shadow lost beside me
there's no more need to pretend
cause now i can begin again

is it bright where you are?
and have the people changed?
does it make you happy you're so strange?
and in your darkest hour, i hold secrets flame
we can watch the world devoured in its pain
strange

Und wer mir jetzt den Sinn dieses Beitrags verraten kann, der... kann stolz drauf sein, mich durchschaut zu haben... so schwer ist es nicht.
