Conor Oberst: Frasi in inglese

“I tried to pass for nothing
But my dreams gave me away”

If The Brakeman turns my way
Cassadaga (2007)

“And the sad act like lepers
They stick to the shadows
They long to ring bells of warning
To tell of their coming
So that the pure can shut their doors.”

Arienette
Fevers and Mirrors (2000)

“Cause a costume can be comfortable
It can make you feel more beautiful
It can even make you look like someone else
But it's still you, so there's nothing you can do
Like a bad habit, the one you couldn't kick, there it always is
And it's nothing that no doctor's gonna fix.”

We Are Free Men
There Is No Beginning to the Story (2003)

“I had a brother once, he drowned in a bathtub,
before he'd ever learned how to talk.
And I don't know what his name was
but my mother does,
I heard her say it once, she said,
"Padraic, my prince, I have all but died from the sheer weight of my shame:
you cried but no-one came."”

Well, I don't think that I ever loved you more”

Haligh, Haligh, A Lie, Haligh
Fevers and Mirrors (2000)

“I hear if you make friends with Jesus Christ, you will get right up from that chalk outline. And then you'll get dolled up, and you'll dress in white all to take your place in his chorus line. And then in you'll come with those marching drums in a saintly compromise. No more whiskey slurs, no more blonde-haired girls for your whole eternal life. And you'll do the dance that was choreographed at the very dawn of time. Singing "I told you son, the day would come you would die, you'd die you'd die you'd die you'd die."”

My twitching muscles tease my flippant thoughts
I never really dreamed of heaven much
Until we put him in the ground.”

there is no more time.
So you can struggle in the water
and be too stubborn to die,

“I’ve seen a child, he's caught in the sad trap of gravity.
He falls from the lowest branch of the apple tree
and lands in the grass and weeps for his dignity.
Next time he will not aim so high.
Yeah, next time, neither will I.”

So that these winds of circumstance won't keep blowing me around.

there is enough time to sleep and sing.
I keep running around, when all I want is to lay motionless.”
