(no subject)
So my mom's new (hybrid!) car has this trial version of XM radio on and
I like listening to the Broadway Tunes station to humble my knowledge
of musicals. I've listened to a couple of songs from "Jekyll &
Hyde" and this seems like a really cool musical. The Lyrics from
"Facade" are under the cut, which you should look at although the music
adds a whole lot to the song. <3
So, once again it's sunday and I'm procrastinating. I've lowered my Nano goal to half what it should be, which I don't even think I'll make. I just have to start writing. As soon as I finish my homework. ^^'
I went to see a play at my old school, GDS, the other day. It was fun. I went their mostly for my good friend Selena who played a maid. Several maids. I have no idea. I sort of stayed next to my dad during intermission, although I did see a few of my old friends, one of which who I haven't talked to in a... long time, which is curious because she used to be a good friend of mine. It was nice to see them again, although it made me feel very nostalgic and at the same time I know that I can never really go back to that school. It's changed so much, two of my good friends left, and... I just don't think I could take it.
Poor Michael broke the table, though. x3 In the play, he was stabbed in the back, and so he stumbles around and finally falls on the table. Two of the side legs bend dangerously after the impact, and eventually completely break. Which /wasn't/ supposed to happen. And of course the actors coming on during their cues see the table and deliver their lines while badly holding down laughs....The audience couldn't stop laughing. Truth be told, neither could I. I feel bad, though. It was a borrowed table. ^^'
There's a face that we wear
In the cold light of day -
It's society's mask,
It's society's way,
And the truth is
That it's all a façade!
There's a face that we hide
'Till the nighttime appears,
And what's hiding inside,
Behind all of our fears,
Is our true self,
Locked inside the façade!
Every day
People, in their own sweet way,
Like to add a coat of paint,
And be what they ain't!
That's how our little -
Game is played,
Livin' like a masquerade
Actin' a bizarre charade -
While playing the saint!
But there's one thing I know,
And I know it for sure:
This disease that we've got
Has got no ready cure!
And I'm certain
Life is terribly hard -
When your life's a façade!
Look around you!
I have found
You cannot tell, by looking at the surface,
What is lurking there beneath it!
See that face!
Now, I'm prepared to bet you,
What you see's not what you get -
'Cause man's a master of deceit !
So, what is the sinister secret?
The lie he will tell you is true? -
It's that each man you meet
on the street
Isn't one man, but two!
Nearly everyone you see -
Like him an' her,
An' you, an' me -
Pretends to be
A pillar of society -
A model of propriety -
Sobriety
And piety -
Who shudders at the thought
Of notoriety!
The ladies an' gents 'ere before you -
Which none of 'em ever admits -
May 'ave saintly looks -
But they're sinners an' crooks!
Hypocrites!
Hypocrites!
There are preachers who kill!
There are killers who preach!
There are teachers who lie!
There are liars who teach!
Take yer pick, dear -
"Cause it's all a façade!
If we're not one, but two,
Are we evil or good?
Do we walk the fine line -
That we'd cross if we could?
Are we waiting -
To break through the façade?
One or two
Might look kinda well-to-do -
Hah! They're bad as me an' you,
Right down their boots!
I'm inclined to think -
Half mankind
Thinks the other half is blind!
Wouldn't be surprise to find -
They're all in cahoots!
At the end of the day,
They don't mean what they say,
They don't say what they mean,
They don't ever come clean -
And their answer -
Is it's all a façade!
Is it's all a façade!
Man is not one, but two,
He is evil and good,
An' he walks the fine line
We'd all cross if we could!
It's a nightmare -
We can never discard -
So we stay on our guard -
Though we love the façade -
What's behind the façade?
Look behind the façade!
