Lyrics The Day We Met - Case Studies

The Day We Met

Down the Road, along the man was walking.
What was his name?
No one knows…
Had a black cloud floated over his head… to protect him it was his war born head
Feathers of a tale were all the sudden in his head.
And when they brushed his face, it made him smile…
But it kept him cold inside to keep pretending.
But he was glad… to be cold inside.
A thousand arrows in his back, he left them to remind him
If he became Brothers of pain, no more will ever find him
He only had himself to blame, to let darkness disguise him
He was wrong… He was afraid…
Down the road the other way, there came a woman.
What was her name?
That secret is mine.
Had a likeness in her way, just like the ocean
And her face was like a rainbow in sky
She was laughing on her way to have a good time
When the sun went down, she thought that she might stop and rest a while
She peered into the midnight, and a man stood before her
So dark she could only see his crying eyes.
She said «hello», he asked «how can you see me?»
And she said «Babe I know its black but I ain’t blind.»
And he said «Tell me why you’re here and what you’re looking for.»
And she said…"it's just when you stop looking, who knows what you might find."
She was surprised she found him through the Arrows.
She was mystified she saw him through the grounds, over his face.
She was terrified she could speak his language…
She was right… Be afraid…
He said «If I ever fall, my darkness holds me.
If I ever cry, my darkness dries my tears.
If I need to crawl, my Darkness helps me find my way.
When I need a place to hide, they can’t love me… They can’t see me.»
On the Road for days and nights, they started talking
about this and that, nothing in particular.
And they both began to feel a little tugging at their hearts.
And she moved close to him,
and he moved close to her…
They were lonesome in a way, because they were different.
They both had there walls of keeping up the world that disappoints…
Hit him with his arrows, and clouds, and she with her smile, and delicate
composure.
And the first time that they touched.
Something changed something strange that normally happens all the time.
It’s the way of the world, people come, people go,
people mock each other up and sometimes get to love the world.
He took his headdress off, she held it gently.
She pulled some arrows from his back, it bled only a bit.
She kissed his wounds and he kissed her back gently…
He could taste… his blood on her lips…
She said Darkness don’t you fall, I can’t hold you up myself
Darkness don’t you cry, I can drown in your tears
Darkness don’t you crawl, because I can’t keep looking down for you
Darkness don’t you hide, I can’t love you… I can’t see you.
