Lost In Xanadu Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 I love these, put them up there with "we're only immortal for a limited time" , "life is just a candle and a dream must give it flame" , "you don't get wise with the sleep still in your eyes, no matter what your dreams might be" "Sometimes the angels punish us by answering our prayers" "The measure of a life is a measure of love and respect, so hard to earn, so easily burned" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chronos Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 I like the evocative imagery of some of Caravan's lines. For example: In a world lit only by fire A long train of flares under piercing stars I stand watching the steamliners roll by And: The caravan thunders onward Stars winking through the canvas hood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, it is what it is Thanks for ALL your help Getting too analytical here; but sometimes "It is what it is, and whatever" is a good way to say that inaction is the best way to solve the problem.

Del_Duio Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 The one that's been standing out for me is "In a world of cut and thrust, I was always taught to trust". And basically all of "Clockwork Angels" (the song). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gompers Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 QUOTE (Lost In Xanadu @ Jun 13 2012, 04:56 PM) "Sometimes the angels punish us by answering our prayers" Not quite so original though. This is reinterpreted "Be careful what you wish for. It might come true", IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
