That's cool but if my friends ask where you are I'm gonna say...
She was stabbed by a Nazghul
Poisoned by Nightlock
Met her past self and exploded in a paradox
Help me, help me, I'm no good at goodbyes!
She was Avada Kedavera'd
Impaled by a glider
Sliced up and left for dead on Mustafar
Help me, help me, I'm all out of lies...
She was bled by a vampire
Severed from her Daemon
Rolled a 1 on a DC 27
Help me, help me, I'm no good at goodbyes!
She tried to solo Onyxia
Got frozen by Ice Beam
She wore a red shirt on the away team
Help me, help me I'm all out of lies...
And ways to say you died
Funny! Did you write this parody?
ReplyDeleteI love the original song as well. Reminds me of driving through city streets at the beginning of Senior year. It sounds like a weird combo between adult contemporary acoustic guitars mixed with Spanish horns.
Yeah, I wrote this. I dig the song too, but as you can see my mind went elsewhere.
DeleteI like Train's stuff, with the exception of "Hey Soul Sister." There was a period of time where the radio would play it to death. Though "Drops of Jupiter" is a masterpiece.
ReplyDeleteActually, I do hope that the subject of "Hey Soul Sister" is NOT the subject to this song.
DeleteIs it because of the whole story behind "burning a wooden model of a dude in a desert" for HSS and tying it with "Ways to Say Goodbye" therefore conveys the implication things went horribly wrong in that situation? Or is it something else (I just looked up the song info, and I guess it's about an annual ceremony that does just that.)
ReplyDeleteIt has nothing to do with Burning Man. My fear is that HSS was written for the love of his life while Ways is one of the most bitter break-up songs I've ever heard. Is Ways just tongue-in-cheek for the fun of it, or did HSS have a sad ending after all?
DeleteThis was a break up song?! Had no idea. I hope it's tongue in cheek.....
ReplyDeleteWell, yeah, it's all about how "I'd rather tell people you couldn't show up because you died horribly rather than just say you left me."
