Challenge #5 - Lyrics
I thought I would switch things up with some lyrics this challenge. I have two songs, 'Tonight and the Rest of My Life' and 'Prayer', for you to choose from. For this challenge you will take a line (or two or three, ect, but at least 4 words) of lyrics, and make/turn them into a wallpaper. You must have the lyrics you picked on the wallpaper for it to be accepted.
The special vote for this challenge will be Best Interpretation of Lyrics, or the wallpaper that you think best used/interpreted the lyrics.
I can see images in my head from Stargate Atlantis that could go with most of the lyrics below, so I hope you can too. For example, "Trapped in your mind, and the sound is deafening" from Prayer, makes me think of Sheppard in 'The Long Goodbye.'
Nina Gordon - "Tonight And The Rest Of My Life"
Down to the earth I fell
With dripping wings
Heavy things won't fly
And the sky might catch on fire
And burn the axis of the world
That's why I prefer a sunless sky
To the glittering and stinging in my eyes
[Chorus:]
I feel so light
This is all I want to feel tonight
I feel so light
Tonight and the rest of my life
Gleaming in the dark sea
I'm as light as air
Floating there breathlessly
When the dream dissolves
I open up my eyes
I realize that
Everything is shoreless sea
A weightlessness is passing over me
[Chorus]
Everything is waves and stars
The universe is resting in my arms
[Chorus x2]
Disturbed - "Prayer"
Another dream that will never come true
Just to compliment your sorrow
Another life that I've taken from you
A gift to add on to your pain and suffering
Another truth you can never believe
Has crippled you completely
All the cries you're beginning to hear
Trapped in your mind, and the sound is deafening
Let me enlighten you
This is the way I pray
[Chorus:]
Living just isn't hard enough
Burn me alive, inside
Living my life's not hard enough
Take everything away
Another nightmare about to come true
Will manifest tomorrow
Another love that I've taken from you
Lost in time, on the edge of suffering
Another taste of the evil I breed
Will level you completely
Bring to life everything that you fear
Live in the dark, and the world is threatening
Let me enlighten you
This is the way i pray
[Chorus]
Return to me, return to me, return to me, turn to me, leave me no one
Turn to me, return to me, return to me, turn to me, cast aside
Return to me, return to me, return to me, turn to me, leave me no one
Turn to me, return to me, return to me, you've made me turn away
[Chorus Variant:]
Living just isn't hard enough
Burn me alive, inside
Living my life's not hard enough,
They take everything from you
[Chorus]
