{Is it wonderful?} Kalopsia QOTSA

Kalopsia

QOTSA

I never lie
To myself
Tonight

Rose, tinted eyes
Colour my sorrow
A shade of wine

Bye bye black balloon
See you real soon
Wave bye bye
Bye bye

Oh why you so sad
What have they done?
Forget those mindless baboons
They're off playing god

Copy cats in cheap suits
All playing it safe
While cannibals with their noose
Consume a parade

Is it wonderful?

Far, far from shore
Land of nightmares
Gone forever more

And I...
That I can't control
I don't even try
Why would I

Oh why the long face
You've got it all wrong
Forget the lead and the rings
We'll choke chain them all

These favour the ones
Who help themselves
The rest feel the sting of the words
As they run
To hell

kalopsia

The term kalopsia comes from the Greek words kalos (beautiful) and opsis (seeing). It is used to denote the aesthetic overrating of sensory, illusory, and hallucinatory phenomena, in the sense that these are perceived as beautiful, friendly, and/or comforting. As indicated by the German-American biological psychologist and philosopher Heinrich Klüver (1897-1979), the * geometric hallucinations occurring in the context of mescaline intoxication tend to be quite indiscriminately described as beautiful. It is this kind of indiscriminate positive valuation which is covered by the term kalopsia. The term is used in opposition to * kakopsia (i.e. seeing things as ugly, sinister and/or menacing).

{I want one too} If I had a tail QOTSA

 If I had a tail

de

QOTSA

Giuchie, Giuchie
Oh la la
Two run run
You wont get far

I’m machine
I’m obsolete
In the land of the free
Lobotomy

I wanna suck, I wanna lick
I want to cry and I want to spit
Tears of pleasure
Tears of pain
They trickle down your face the same

It’s how you look
Not how you feel
The city of glass
With no heart…

If I had a tail
I’d own the night
If I had a tail
I’d swat the flies

Yeah, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsty.com/queens-of-the-stone-age-if-i-had-a-tail-lyrics.html ]
Giuchie, Giuchie
Oh la la
Two run run
You won’t get far

Animals in
The midnight sun
When you own the world
You’re always home

Get your hands dirty
Roll up them sleeves
Brainwashed all true believers
Buy flash cars
Diamond rings
Expensive holes to bury things

I’m machine
I’m obsolete
In the land of the free
Immortality

If I had a tail
I’d own the night
If I had a tail
I’d swat the flies

Yeah, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh

TV dancing on the scars
TV dance…

{In love with} QOTSA My God is the Sun

 My God is the Sun

Far beyond the desert road
Where everything hangs off
So good the empty space
And to erase the given  gods

Healing, like fire from above
Kneeling, my god is the sun
Healing, with fire from above
Kneeling, my god is the sun

I don’t know what time it was
I don't wear a watch
So good to be an ant who crawls
Atop a spinning rock

Healing, like fire from above
Kneeling, my god is the sun
Healing, with fire from above
Kneeling, my god is the sun

Healing, like fire from above
Kneeling, my god is the sun
Feeling, Healing, ...
Love us
Heal us
Always look at the sky...

WoW, me recuerda muchísimo a los Caifanes....
{Editado}  La he oído una y otra vez ... y decidí hacer una comparación... injusta, no creo...
por que creo que los Caifanes merecen un nicho en el cielo rockero.
