Just found the saddest lyrics I've ever read... I love them.

[us_1999]

Elliott Smith's last (before he ctb) album "From a Basement on the Hill". I always like his songs but this is the first time I read the lyrics carefully...

Sad, poetic and suicidal... It seem clear from these lyrics that this guy won't kick on for long...

Oh Elliott...


Wishes with a blue
Songbird on his shoulder
Who keeps singing over everything

Everything means nothing to me
Everything means nothing to me
Everything means nothing to me

 

[LittleBlackCat]

Love and miss Elliott..

These ones are quite sad also, let me know what you think,

"yes no will be there to stop you
No one to clear your head
No one to talk to you out of it
No one to hear the last words that you said
No one will shed a tear
No one will be there to find you dead
Because you'll be all alone"
