Silent night, broken night
All is fallen when you take your flight
I found some hate for you
Just for show
You found some love for me
Thinking I'd go
Don't keep me from crying to sleep
Sleep in heavenly peace
Silent night, moonlit night
Nothing's changed
Nothing is right
I should be stronger than weeping alone
You should be weaker than sending me home
I can't stop you fighting to sleep
Sleep in heavenly peace
All is fallen when you take your flight
I found some hate for you
Just for show
You found some love for me
Thinking I'd go
Don't keep me from crying to sleep
Sleep in heavenly peace
Silent night, moonlit night
Nothing's changed
Nothing is right
I should be stronger than weeping alone
You should be weaker than sending me home
I can't stop you fighting to sleep
Sleep in heavenly peace

you should be weaker than sending me home"
those lines made love the song.
All is fallen when you take your flight"
I wait up for him to call me. I wait up all night. I waited up every night for months and he never called me. He broke the night for me, I know when he goes out that I will wait up for him to get home.
"I found some hate for you
Just for show
You found some love for me
Thinking I'd go"
So I decided to hate him. I tell him that I hate him, I act like a bitch, I become rare in case it makes his heart grow fonder for me. He thinks I hate him so suddenly he decides that I am his good friend and he likes me. But he thinks it doesn't matter what he says, I am already gone. I never left, I never ever left.
"Don't keep me from crying to sleep
Sleep in heavenly peace
Silent night, moonlit night
Nothing's changed
Nothing is right
I should be stronger than weeping alone
You should be weaker than sending me home
I can't stop you fighting to sleep
Sleep in heavely peace"
Nothing has changed.....it's still not right. I should never have started running to him when I felt down. I wish he had been weak and kept on having me to stay over, kept on leading me on and giving me little strands of hope....
And this is the reason.
A religious song/folk song/Christmas song/pop song, Silent Night in and of itself belongs to more categories than probably any other song. It's such a part of our culture it's a folk song, it's a Christian religious song, so it's religious, it's so inbedded in our consciousness and so well-known it's a pop song, and more than anything it has become a "Christmas" song. (It's funny that songs about Jesus' birth are called Christmas songs but songs about his death and resurrection aren't called 'Easter Songs'... just gospel or christian music)
And then on top of this, Damien changes the lyrics adding the genres of
Blues
Indie
Rock
Jazz
Into the mix, making this version of the song an extreme statement
That can be Read on Many Many levels.
His genre really is "unknown" because it seems to be a mixture of ALL genres.
This is my interpretation, from an experience I had less than a week ago.
I told this girl (name of Lisa, coincidentally) how I felt about her; we talked in her car in front of my house for a good two hours or so. When she finally left, I fell apart (when she took flight). I'm now trying to find something to hate about her to get over it...she said she had feelings for me too, but for X amount of reasons it wouldn't work out. She said she had feelings too, perhaps to try to appease me, thinking I'd leave her alone (you found some love for me thinking I'd go). And then I cried to sleep.
We were close to begin with, so really, nothing changed...yet it doesn't seem right...I'm all torn up inside...
Like I said, I cried, and I should be stronger than that. And she literally drove me home (you should be weaker than sending me home).
And I haven't seen her since, so we haven't really talked...so sleep in heavenly peace...I know I won't for a while.
Sorry if that was too personal.
She still completely in love with him but puts on a face that she doesn't care anymore and he doesn't matter... So relatable. This is hauntingly beautiful.
