So, Misfits. I guess I owe this show some thanks. I wanted to do an Alisha/Simon vid that focused mainly on Alisha's pov. The beginning is something of a mini character study on dear Alisha. And then we've got superhero Simon and lots of angst and tragedy and you know, the rest is history. While the song seems kind of liberating, for Alisha, I am not really sure the events that unfold are. So it's a touch of irony if you want to call it that. In the end, she's probably more untouchable now than she was before. Sad, really.
On a personal note: This is probably my first full length vid in over three years. [I'm guessing.] So this is pretty special to me. Regardless of whatever else feels important. The fact that I did this? Is kind of insane to me right now. So yes, thank you Misfits. [And thank you gigglemonster for both introducing me to the show and making me the lovely art you see above! Oh! And she was my beta too!]
My Skin, Natalie Merchant
Take a look at my body
Look at my hands
There's so much here
That I don't understand
Your face saving promises
Whispered like prayers
I don't need them
I don't need them
I've been treated so wrong
I've been treated so long
As if I'm becoming untouchable
Oh, I need
The darkness
The sweetness
The sadness
The weakness
Oh, I need this
I need
A lullaby
A kiss goodnight
Angel sweet
Love of my life
Oh, I need this
I'm a slow dying flower
Frost killing hour
The sweet turning sour
And untouchable
Do you remember the way
That you touched me before
All the trembling sweetness
I loved and adored?
Your face saving promises
Whispered like prayers
I don't need them
No, I don't need them
I need
The darkness
The sweetness
The sadness
The weakness
Oh, I need this
I need
A lullaby
A kiss goodnight
The angel sweet
Love of my life
I need this
Well is it dark enough?
Can you see me?
Do you want me?
Can you reach me?
Or I'm leaving
You better shut your mouth
And hold your breath
You kiss me now, you'll catch your death
Oh, I mean this
Oh, I need this
