Blood on the Motorway
December 27, 2008Blood on the Motorway by DJ Shadow. Lyrics are below the cut.
This song never fails to grab me. It reminds me of Wesir at the beginning, and that while things are fleeting, there are eternal things that are more important…and not to let the inconsequential things get in the way of them.
It’s after midnight here. It’s silent, a bit cold. Everything outside is thickly blanketed in snow. I happened on this song and it seemed like a message.
And now…eternity…
Be still now
I am with you
I am deep within you
You are at peace
You cannot be harmed
You will not suffer
Breathe deeply
Breathe in the healing love of the universe
And breathe out the sickness which has taken you
I am with you
It’s easy
It’s like breathing
It’s like a heartbeat
It’s easy
Have not betrayed your ideals
Your ideals betrayed you
What are you gonna do?
Your eyes will not close
Your tongue barely speaks
But I can still feel you
I can still feel you
So come, come relax,
Grin, let the changes in
Come on, come relax
Grin, let the laughter, let the laughter
Let the laughter begin
Well come on, relax,
Grin, let the changes in,
Relax, grin, let the changes in
Let the changes in
Come on, come on relax
Time is done
The sun has gone
It’s too late
Eternity has come
