cover my eyes

• 1997 yapımı, dream theater şarkısı. herhangi bir dream theater albümünde yer almıyor fakat uluslarası dream theater fan klubünün hazırladığı christmas cd'lerinin 1999'da piyasaya sürüleninde (bkz: cleaning out the closet) bulunabilir. eğlenceli, coşku aşılayan ve basit yapılı bir şarkı. kısaca pek dream theatervari değil. ama petrucci'nin elinden çıkan bu enteresan ürün oldukça da güzel; bir şekilde adamlara yakışıyor.
  bu kadar lafın üstüne şarkının sözleri iyi gider:
  
  i've got my hands out in front of my face
  but i can hardly see
  i've bathed myself in holy water
  but it doesn't bother me
  
  under my skin, above my head
  inside the walls, beneath my bed
  my black and whites are turning red
  
  cover my eyes and tell me
  am i really blind?
  cover my eyes and tell me
  have i lost my mind?
  
  i've got my fingers to the blade
  but i can't feel a thing
  opened my eyes in salty water
  but it doesn't even sting
  
  under my skin, above my head
  stuck in my throat, beneath my breath
  my black and whites are turning red
  
  cover my eyes and tell me
  am i really blind?
  cover my eyes and tell me
  have i lost my mind?
  
  have i lost my mind?
  have i lost my mind?
  
  under my skin, above my head
  the lunatic is playing dead
  my black and whites are turning red
  
  cover my eyes and tell me
  am i really blind?
  cover my eyes and tell me
  have i lost my mind?
  
  cover my eyes and tell me
  am i really blind?
  cover my eyes and tell me
  have i lost my
  have i lost my mind?
  
  have i lost my mind?
  have i lost my mind?
• marillion'un holidays in eden albümünden aşmış bir parça... sözlerini steve hogarth'ın yazdığı parça aynı zamanda pain and heaven olarak da bilinir... sanırım başka söze gerek yok...
  
  cover my eyes
  the light falls on her face
  dangerous lines
  dangerous colours and shapes
  ferocious designs
  connected and ready to play
  buttoned up tight
  crimson and halloween-white
  she's like the girl in the movie when the spitfire falls
  like the girl in the picture that he couldn't afford
  she's like the girl with the smile in the hospital ward
  like the girl in the novel in the wind on the moors
  
  pain and heaven
  pain and heaven
  
  the meaning of life
  a hair falls out of place
  cover my eyes
  dangerous colours and shapes
  and when she moves
  cover my eyes
  
  she like the girl on the tv with the red guitar
  like the girl with the dealer at the end of the bar
  she's like the girl with the smile in the dream in the dark
  like the girl overtaking in the open car
  
  pain and heaven
  pain and heaven
• dream theater versiyonunu 1 sene boyunca ev-bolum arasi 3 dakika 17 saniyelik yolda uyanmak icin dinledigim, cigliklar atarak soyledigim sarki
• splintering heart gibi bi parçanın ardından, sanki hiçbir şey olmamış gibi başlayan, neşeli bir şarkı. ki ardından the party başlar. o da ayrı bir derttir. bir de son olarak steve hogarth'ın şarkının başında ve nakaratlarda yaptığı "hey-heeeyy-he-he-heeeeyy-hee-heee-heyyyy" şeysi pek bi güzeldir.
• la roux'un azıcık iç parçalayan pek güzel şarkısıdır.

  no wonder i'm scared
  to look in your eyes
  you've turned me away
  so many times
  you can take it away
  at any given moment
  it's hard to believe
  while you're in this disguise
  
  so would you hold me please
  i'm trying hard to breathe
  i'm just surviving
  so would you hold me please
  i'm trying hard to breathe
  stop me from crying
  
  when i see you walking with her
  i have to cover my eyes
  (i have to cover my eyes)
  every time you leave with her
  something inside me dies
  (something inside of me dies)
  
  no wonder it hurts
  to sit by your side
  (turned me away so many times)
  there's a different song
  i can play you tonight
  (we don't have to sit here in silence)
  we can break the pattern
  we can change the colour
  (it's just a little sacrifice)
  you don't need to worry about the others
  (it's all in your mind)
  
  so would you hold me please
  i'm trying hard to breathe
  i'm just surviving
  so would you hold me please
  i'm trying hard to breathe
  stop me from crying
  
  when i see you walking with her
  i have to cover my eyes
  (i have to cover my eyes)
  every time you leave with her
  something inside me dies
  (something inside of me dies)
