Lyrics to Song For No One
Whilst surfing the interweb, I stumbled upon 2 different lyrics for Song For No One. . The first was this one...
"Song For No One (But Myself)" Your will against my vision Your world against my worlds Your war ain't my decision Your port against my pearls Your sense against my madness Your void against my screams Your bitch against my gladness Your fakes against my dreams This is a song for no one but myself This is a song for no one but myself This is a song for no one but myself Your lies are your perceptions Your reins against my rights Your fear is your religion Your race against my pride Your end is my beginning Your dance has all gone wrong Your blaze against my music Your blare against this song This is a song for no one but myself This is a song for no one but myself This is a song for no one but myself Your wish against my vision Your world against my worlds Your war ain't my decision Your port against my pearls This is a song for no one but myself This is a song for no one but myself This is a song for no one but myself The second one was this one.... "Song For No One (But Myself)" I look into myself, there’s nothing deep inside There’s an emptiness that I can’t seem to hide Well, you and I can’t see the wood from the trees So call me stupid if you please This is a song for no one but myself This is a song for no one but myself This is a song for no one but myself Drifting slowly to the point of no return Self control and grace is something I should learn I lift my eyes up to that big wide sky Leave behind what’s on my mind This is a song for no one but myself This is a song for no one but myself This is a song for no one but myself Blazé queens, their voches so mauve Joanie kings, all numbers ben fierce Blazé queens, their voches so mauve Rouge for days, fantabulosza-zsa! Joanie kings, all numbers ben fierce Dilly Boys, so ferricadooza! The second set of lyrics can be heard on the animated video to the track Am I missing something, or has this being brought up before? I'm gliding in the distance and watch the world go by An orbit full of questions, a perforated sky

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1SIYQHfLoAw Here is the live version of the lyrics. Did anyone notice the difference? And which lyrics are now being played on the tour? I'm gliding in the distance and watch the world go by An orbit full of questions, a perforated sky |

"too stupid" the man said when asked why this song didn't make it on a previous release. ... It is not known though if this comment was for the lyrics or the music or both.

Strange. 2 lyrics that have nothing to do with one another. It was probably Marian's mood at the time. He is going from a radical view in the first set of lyrics, to a very deep and meaningful self journey in the second set

When he said it was "too stupid" he was referring to the "Untitled" edition, AKA the version from the 90's and not the one we heard in 2008 (with the lyrics on the first post). I personally think the final version of S4N1 is my least favorite song... I hate it! Had CROG kept the "rock" feel which Criminal Girl and the Call Me demos had, I think it would've been better, at least to me since of all the albums made, I think CROG is the worst in my eyes... Overly loud too. That doesn't help any!

that version was played live a few times. The "whistle" melody and chorus are the only recognizable elements from the final (that and the guitar riff - it was repurposed into the bassline)
