but I know that my redeemer doesn't exist.
"I'll make it up to you"
je vais me rattraper google
Je vais vous rattraper bing
In French translation it gives a sense of catching up.
Catching up TO WHAT is my question???
Another biblical concept here similar to the word sin in Greek:
HAMARTIA
i.e missing the FUCKING mark
This big notion of redemption is to me fundamentally wrong and probably utter bullshit made up in some control freak mind to use, abuse, and control others, based on imposing guilt and shame: 2 adorable concepts .... NOT
A concept that comes in so many songs.
Mind you another concept that comes in an awful lot of songs is:
I wanna get laid and I'll say anything to get to that goal.
Elvis comes to mind here. It's now or never.
If I could turn back the hands of time and other bullshit.
English is funny that way with its hundreds of expanded verbs utterly change by adding some preposition:
like knocked up is not the same as knocked down.
To impose shame on you and the idea that you need to redeem yourself somehow is just pure evil if you ask me.
Sure one can decide to do better with one self but shame is man-made.
The older I get the more I like the French expression in André Fortin's song:
Y'A PAS D'COUPLABLES, Y'A PAS DE HONTE
there is no guilt there is no shame
an expression in context to someone who is near death
but somehow one is ALWAYS near death relatively.
But again most of these making up songs or wanting to make up are nothing short really of:
I wanna get laid again song.
it reminds me of Jack Lucas in Fisher King:
Jack’s line “Suicidal paranoiacs will say anything to get laid,” was added by Gilliam on set because he was afraid that the character would have a tiny shred of likeability left in him.
Anyway as Dylan says so well:
I'd forever talk to you
But soon my words would turn into a meaningless ring
For deep in my heart
I know there's no help I can bring
Love this song still as relevant today as it was then
for instance change/adapt 2 words in this verse and bam voila
welcome to the 21st century
From fixtures and forces and friends your sorrow does stem
That hype/#hash you
And type / #tag you
And making you feel that you gotta be just like them
We are what we are and sometimes, many times we fuck up and that is it. There is no redeeming, no making up: just try not to fuck up too many times that's all.
