Song of the Week - Self Saboteur
Hardly new, and those who know me in real life will have heard this one a million times. But I still love it, and - unusually for me - the lyrics hit ominously close to a nerve. Wins the award for the most beautiful synth of 2007 so far, too - pay close attention after 3:38 to hear why simple is often best.
Check it out, Self Saboteur by Delerium. Click “more” for lyrics.
By the way, I cannot fucking believe it is already June.
Self Saboteur
Delerium
no one wins at this game
throwing knives in your pain
and even though you’re lying down now
you’re fighting in a war zone
between the world and your brain
you hide your pride
why can’t you see, can’t you see, can’t you see
you are your own worst enemy
you are what you despise
blame is only a compromise
anger is your bow and arrow
it’s better than a shield for your sorrow
but nothing’s hurting inside
you hide your pride
but can’t you see, can’t you see, can’t you see
you are your own worst enemy
all the good things you have
always end up with someone else
and you blame that they are stealing
all the big plans you made
will explode and you’ll suffocate
from the anger you are feeling
you hide your pride
why can’t you see, can’t you see, can’t you see
you are your own worst enemy
(repeat x2)
