Time and The Mask

by Chris Boesen   Oct 7, 2006


This vampyrical life i live
jumping from one to another to give quickness to my time
I pray for the unobtainable
I pray for a freeze to my hot veins
I pray for a something that can appease my appetite for satisfaction
A someone who can defeat this second hand that haunts me
I\'m an intoxicating substance
I am silent in watching my victims fall into a pleasure coated destruction
a curtain of drunkenness shields a truth
a truth that unsatisfaction is disguised in a love
a mask i\'ll gladly wear to play a role in this production that can slay the sun\'s routine
I pray for you
I pray you are the one who can show me the weak link on this repetitious ticking chain
in freedom i shall become the mask and the two of us shall dance to our victory of enternity

    Line 1- its a two sided life you're living, like day and night
    Line 2-you leap form one thing to another unsure of whats ahead
    Line 3-5 you pray that somethign wi ll ocme get you, come take you away (hint the freeze to your hott veins) something that will save you from this meaningless life, so that you have something to look forward to all the time.

    Line6-8. the second hand is the world...its trying to turn you into somethng your not and you need someone to keep you striaght. Therefore when you refer to an intoxicating substaqnce you mean you feel you re destryoing those lvies around you or being destroyed by them.

    Line 9-13. sometimes you fel helpless bc the world holds you down to all you want to be, thats what makes you silent, you wathc them fall bc u feel helpless, no one there to tell you that you're doing okay. You're a curtian of drunkeness that shields the truth agian bc your blinded by the world and what it wants you to become. you dont use gurls but you long ot be love, which in a sense is the disquise of real truth to you..love. The mask you wear basically is following the world, you play a role i the world and you dont want to mess it up but you know you have to, aka the suns rotuine.

    14-18. your praying to someone or something, that they can save you, shwo you the way "home" in a sense show you who you are and love you for you. You want to rip open the binds that have been holding you in this place...aka the weak link on this repetiteous ticking chain. Then once you conquer it, the world whatever it is, you will becoem the mask the reason why you and her or it should dance for joy to your freedom and the soundd of eternity..

    great poem ok so thats my interpretation hope i am close, but im prob. off by a lot. remember our deal..let me kno if i was right.
