Blowers daughter

Because of Damien Rice's Blowers Daughter, I decided to watch Closer one more time, this time actually finished it.

Since the day the mp3 found its place on my playlist, I have listened to it for more than 20 times, all in one day - 20 times of it. Each time when the voice of the girl came on and sang "Did I say that I loathe you? Did I say I want to leave it all behind?", I felt someone gave my heart a tight squeeze so much so that I couldn't breathe, so much so that I felt my body thrust forward because of the pressure of that squeeze.

When things end, they end. They just end, much to the reluctance of my melancholy self, much to the reluctance of my heart which was yelling out loud for me to stop, to ask me not to do it, to ask me to consider its pain that it would have to go through. I looked at it with great sympathy and I said sorry.

And so it is. Just like you said it would be. Life goes easy on me, most of the time.


And so it is
Just like you said it would be
Life goes easy on me
Most of the time
And so it is
The shorter story
No love, no glory
No hero in her sky

I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes...

And so it is
Just like you said it should be
We'll both forget the breeze
Most of the time
And so it is
The colder water
The blower's daughter
The pupil in denial

I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes...

Did I say that I loathe you?
Did I say that I want to
Leave it all behind?

I can't take my mind off of you
I can't take my mind off you
I can't take my mind off of you
I can't take my mind off you
I can't take my mind off you
I can't take my mind...
My mind...my mind...
'Til I find somebody new
