A long shot... anyone good with lyrics? - 09/09/06 07:00 AM
Okay, so I know I will probably get zero responses to this one, but I have to try. And some of you may wonder why on earth I'm not posting this in the Off Topic folder, but it *does* have something to do with an L&C fic... sort of.
Oh yes, my point. I'm working on a few projects right about now, and I have run into this problem, for which I can only blame myself. I was driving home the other night from the hospital, and it was almost four in the morning, after staying there for more than six hours. Granted, I was exhausted, tired and hungry, and could barely keep my eyes on the road, plus I had a grandma in the backseat who was simply unable to stop talking - she does that when she's worked up, and worked up she was after being at the hospital for so long, and now finally being able to come home with us.
So, I couldn't have the radio on, at least not that loudly. But when Grandma stopped talking for a full minute, I took a chance and turned it back on. Thirty seconds later she starts again, and I do my best to keep up a conversation.
And then this song comes on - beautiful, beautiful piano intro, a stunning melody, and as the lyrics go on, I think, "This is it!!! This one fits perfectly with this..thing I'm working on!"
Unfortunately I could barely make out every other word, and I remember so few of them. I had to keep my eyes on the road, and I could not tell my grandma to sit still for a minute either, just so I could figure out what song it was.
So here is what I got:
It's a piano intro. Beautiful melody.
Male singer.
I got these lyrics, completely out of order:
"Look in(to) my eye(s)"
"Look at my feet"
"Behind the/my mask"
I think "angel" is mentioned somewhere...
Also, I got the impression that the man was talking about this woman who was unable to see the devil that he was behind the mask... And he mentioned "she" a lot, i think. If the mask is a metaphor or not, I don't know. I *could* be wrong, of course, but that was what I got from catching maybe one word in each verse.
I know, so little to go on! So I'll be very, very surprised if I even get a single reply to this.
So, the BIG question: Do you know what song it is?
I've tried searching the web, but all I ended up with were lyrics to heavy metal songs!
Thanks in advance,
Pelican going on
