I think about our time together
All the laughter that we shared
And all the joy we took
Just giving to each other -

And how all the laughter faded
And all the giving stopped . . .

And the memory brings me sorrow
And I’m killing it


Sometimes when I’m all alone
I want you still
To touch your face once more
To hold you near
To look into your eyes
And know I’m there -

To hear your throaty laughter
Or just wipe away your tears . . .

But the longing leaves me empty
And I’m killing it


For somewhere deep inside me
Within my very soul
Down past the longing and the emptiness -
Beneath the feelings that stir my heart
And all the thoughts that pass across my mind . . .

Alive - within the essence
Of who and what I am
There's a part of me that loves you
And you’re killing it.

Quite sad without being too sad. Quite beautiful yet lonely, but not overly so... I'm really thinking about this and what it means. Overall I feel a love and happiness, interrupted by one or two sad and lonely lines. This really makes the song something deep, passing between the  memory of happiness and the sadness of being alone, it's quite thought provoking.

I like it, there's something there that makes this churn about in my head, although it isn't too outwardly harsh and shocking (compared to, say killing me, or killing you). I will be milling these words over for days.

It must be in the genes, 'I want you, go away!'

You've built up the verse, fully loaded with the clarity of the poets loss and longing, his heart felt misery told so beautifully ..... and then he kills it!   Bang!

It's edging on schizophrenia! And makes me wonder about the musical track within it!

Jim Morrison! He's your man, he was a real poet who sung,
this piece is such a "Poets Dream" (love it), emotionally exaggerated projections, you'd need a Jim to 'carry' this!

Ok! I think I know what it is : I like the 'killing it' it's excellent for a song, and I can feel this going all over the shop! But the verses I find 'too' emotional, iykwim? The 'extremes' between the verses and the "And I'm killing it!" are such that it ends up sounding like the rantings of a mad mad? 
Or maybe I'm talking about my self again?

Kings, I do appreciate your 'kudos' for the writing. As for Jim Morrison, if he could sing my songs, I would feell lke I died and went to heaven.....no pun intended.

As much as I like what you wrote, I'd like to comment and take a bit of issue with your interpretation of what the song is saying, but I will restrain myself. I'm always saying that the meaning of a song is the meaning you give it. So if mine mine is fair game for interpretation, then who am I to disagree with you?

But I would like to see if others interpret it the same. So the rest of you, if anyone reads this, your feedback is appreciated.
