The Perfect Circle

There is no such thing as a perfect circle

hey AI, write a song by LCD Soundsystem:

Verse 1: 

I'm stuck in a world that's spinning round 

I can't escape this feeling of profound 

Disillusionment, confusion and doubt 

I need a way out

Chorus: 

But I know I'll find my way 

I'll keep dancing, keep on swaying 

'Cause this is who I am 

I'm an LCD Soundsystem man

Verse 2: 

The rhythm pulls me to the floor 

I lose myself in the music once more 

Forgetting all my troubles and my pain 

Dancing like I'm young again

Chorus:

But I know I'll find my way

I'll keep dancing, keep on swaying

'Cause this is who I am

I'm an LCD Soundsystem man

Bridge: 

The beat goes on, the night is young 

I'm lost in the music, until the break of dawn 

I'll keep on dancing, until I drop 

'Cause this is where I belong

Chorus:

But I know I'll find my way

I'll keep dancing, keep on swaying

'Cause this is who I am

I'm an LCD Soundsystem man

bright nights

how lonely must you have been to make me in your form: fragments of light, winking faces, in the shadow of your heavenly throne above the world so high wondering why am I alone? was it for love to exist that I was born? 

the sky is empty with answers on bright nights like this I am so glad to be alive and at home

[saadullah]

[T]hat which is boundless in you abides in the mansion of the sky, whose door is the morning mist, and whose windows are the songs and the silences of night.

dil mein teray dard hai, rog hai kyun? kya hai tu? kyun hai tu? soch zara...

[saadullah]

the beating begins alive, you breathe crying, count to five the colourful words become grey lines and start dying find fine friends for a long game before you feel it or give it a name invisible and there she is Pain you're playing along for the ride you're staying you have the fight a habit to love the force of life that remains but it's insane how much you eat of lust and meat dance and steal before it's all taken so as we alight closer to night ask that wound inside: lover, who's your guide? that's all I'm saying.

[saadullah]

you are the first words first lines first verse the story of my worlds my language my thought the reflections of god is what you are weight and voices living in a star or do you hide somewhere deep inside? i'm not lost i'm listening watching, waiting the signs aren't mistaken these dreams are for waking breathing it to life knowing that I will see you soon and until my eyes find light kun fa-yakoon

It's always now - but now is also the shortest moment of our lives. It's gone in an instant. The longest moments of our lives are our memories and imaginations.

what is a post colonial hangover? shooting lies with sugar coating drowning mostly somehow floating feeling wasted and yet still sober we used to be equals before we were better then a foundation fell babylon was Bab-el-ilm Alef, was our first letter the old, old world you ask where i'm from how do i know? i might have it all wrong for not having a home and feeling like i belong meri jaan / meray bhai when you pay sixty quid for halwa puri and kashmiri Chai not even bat an eye / alright? when it just is what it is then we will all say goodbye  to our collective hangovers

rise

traveller rise from comfort and disguise god's own sights see through your tired endless, beautiful eyes rise from darkness and desire you're on the long road the infinite entire losing light, but not alone make a fire, crack a stone rise there's a way to go go slow if you must but stand up and fight do not go gentle into that long night you got lost in your thoughts playing hide and seek outside a place you can't go back to back home, you know it was always inside so rise once again, like before sure, love is a heavy load but yours, who knows? let it go love is what echoes lost, it follows it's truth how many lives will it take to get through? rise the heavens kiss the horizon if you lift your gaze so high beyond words and time a bubble in the ocean's sky happy just because change is the name of life even dying stars burn bright act like you're alive traveller rise

the call

memories of swaying trees at night flickering stars and tube lights karachi sea breeze like creamy, sweet, strong tea  she’s sipping you slowly who taught sisyphus rock & roll? that pristine eternal ache the weariness in your smile all told  the weight of everything inside

you hold and lay awake till first light she stirs in her slumber when you have to count sheep who needs the solace of sleep?  you might have the wrong number.. wait! she whispered softly: love or your life will flash by you can have all of me love  and love will still die after flesh goes memory after pictures and names dancing over what remains  now and forever i reign when the music stops on beat the lights go out too, eventually then, with the kiss of death  i will make you mine it's not destiny or fate you see, the point is trying she finally answered today  when you called Time

Art without truth is just decoration
