Mechanical spider

The guy in here is half spider, half robot. This takes place on Pellistair.

"Now, what were you saying about this being your fault?” He asked, staring at her with his piercing gaze.

"I was one of the scientists at the laboratory where the technology was created that turned you half robot," she started reluctantly. "In fact, I was one of the main scientists working on it."

"The technology was stolen from the laboratory you worked at. It wasn't your fault it was used to experiment on me", he interrupted, staring at her puzzledly.

"No, you don't understand! I helped them steal it. It's my fault they got it in the first place. And what's more, I'm the one they asked to find the subject for their first tests! After weeks of searching, I decided you were the best candidate, and told them when and where to abduct you and bring you back. If it weren't for me, they never would have found you, and probably wouldn't have gotten the equipment in the first place!"

He stared at her in shock, before moving with lightning speed and pinning her against a rock. "You're the one who did this? You're the one who's responsible for the revulsion on everyone's face when they see me?" He asked, shaking her.

"Yes! I've been trying to tell you! All this time, teaching you and talking to you, I've been trying to make up for it!" She cried, staring at the ground.

He let go of her and stepped back. She was unable to meet his gaze. "You're the reason I've kept going, the reason I haven't just crawled under a rock somewhere and given up, and now it turns out that you're fake, that you've had your own reasons for helping me, all along" he stated bitterly. "Everything I've believed in has turned wrong, or been flung back in my face. I don't know what to do with myself now..."

She heard him walk away, and someone coming running up to her. "Miss! Are you all right? I saw what that monster did to you!" A brown tabby cat looked at her in concern. She stared after him, and said, half to herself, "It wasn't entirely rational. I took everything away from him. It was a natural, and completely expectable, reaction". The tabby cat looked at her in confusion, as she thought, Why do I always have to be like this? So cold, and logical, thinking scientifically about everything? That's what got me into this mess in the first place. And what got him into this....

I'm a happy person, really. I don't normally write such dark things. I blame it on Nidhiki (who I shall always think of as a belly dancer), and on Depeche Mode, bucause I had "Suffer Well" in my head all day, and I think this comes from that.

Redone songs

A few weeks ago, I heard a redone version of "Time After Time" by Cyndi Lauper. I love the original version, and was slightily appalled (but also slightly intrigued) by the redone version, by Quietdrive.
I forgot about it, until yesterday, when I heard a rap song, "I'll be Missing you", with the same background music, and the same music for the refrain, as "Every Breath You Take", which as I've already mentioned, is one of my favorite songs ever, and has been since I was eight. I was horrified, and extremely angry, about it, until I looked it up. It turns out, it's a song about losing people, and how, as it's put in the song, "I know you still living your life, after death". Well, I couldn't be angry after that, although I still wish they hadn't used the same music as "Every Breath You Take".
All of this reminded me of Quietdrives version of "Time After Time", so I went looking for it, and find several interesting preformances of "Time After Time". These were my favorites:

Dilana, on Rockstar Supernova- She gives it a sort of country twist, and she's got a lovely voice.

Brandon Rogers, on American Idol- It's nice to hear a guy sing this song, and he sings it so sweetly, and with so much emotion.

Tracet Thorn and Ben Watt, of Everything But the Girl - She's got a gorgeous deeper voice, and I love the way they only use one guitar for musical accompniement.

And, the best for last -

Eva Cassidy - She has such a beautiful voice, and her version is probably my favorite of all these.

I feel differently about people redoing songs, after watching these.

Weird song lyrics

There are some songs with lyrics that always make me scratch my head, because they don't make sense, or are just weird, or are redundant. Here are some.

"Let's talk this over
It's not like we're dead"
Avril Lavigne - My Happy Ending

There's nothing wrong with the lyrics, they're just sort of odd. It's an interesting way to put it...

"I gotta whisper 'cause I can't be too loud"
Hinder - Lips of an Angel

Why else do you whisper?

"You see you were born
Born, born
(Born to be alive)"
Patrick Hernandez - Born to be Alive

And what else would you have been born for..?

I'll post more when I think of them. Post any weird song lyrics you've found in the comments!
