Emilie Autumn
Текст песни What If (Celtic Mix)

Большинство песен у Эмили Отемн на тему "все мужики сволочи, а уж ТЕБЯ, конкретно тебя, так и вовсе убить мало!!!11". Но любим мы ее не только за это, вот What If например более жизненная))

Here you sit in your high-backed chair,
Wonder how the view is from there?
I wouldn't know, 'cause I like to sit
Upon the floor, yeah, upon the floor.

If you like, we can play a game:
Let's pretend that we are the same —
But you will have to look much closer
Than you do, closer than you do.

And I'm far too tired to stay here anymore,
And I don't care what you think anyway,
'Cause I think you were wrong about me —
What if you were, yeah, what if you were?

And what if I'm a snowstorm burning?
What if I'm the world unturning?
What if I'm an ocean,
Far too shallow, much too deep?
What if I'm the kindest demon,
Something you may not believe in?
What if I'm a siren
Singing gentlemen to sleep?..

I know you've got it figured out:
Tell me what I am all about,
And I just might learn a thing or two —
Hundred about you, maybe about you?

I'm the end of your telescope,
I don't change just to suit your vision,
'Cause I am bound by a fraying rope
Around my hands, tied around my hands.

And you close your eyes when I say I'm breaking free,
And you put your hands over both your ears,
Because you cannot stand to believe I'm not
The perfect girl you thought — well, what have I got to lose?

And what if I'm a weeping willow,
Laughing tears upon my pillow?
What if I'm a socialite
That wants to be alone?
What if I'm a toothless leopard?
What if I'm a sheepless shepherd?
What if I'm an angel
Without wings to take me home?

You don't know me —
Never will, never will.
I'm outside your
Picture frame, and the glass is breaking now!
You can't see me —
Never will, never will...
And if you're never gonna see —

What if I'm a crowded desert,
Too much pain with little pleasure?
What if I'm the nicest place
You never want to go?
What if I don't know who I am?
Will that keep us both from trying
To find out? — and when you do,
Be sure to let me know.

What if I'm a snowstorm burning?
What if I'm the world unturning?
What if I'm an ocean,
Far too shallow, much too deep?
What if I'm the kindest demon,
Something you may not believe in?
What if I'm a siren
Singing gentlemen to sleep?
Sleep?.. Sleep...
