Circle Me

Post by Kapitano »

Possibly the most useless lyric listing in the world, because there's no words as such. I programmed my laptop to concatenate phonemes according to some simple rules, and this is the result. Why write meaningful lyrics if you've got nothing to say?

The consonant set and stress system is based loosely on Swahili, and the vowel set on Arabic. Maybe I'll use my 'Latinate' and 'Germanic' systems sometime.

Verse 1:
udu mbu adu (muza zimba)
uwa ungi iba (mudu ngu)
ngu ndu uzi (hawa yami)
wadinga wa ma (buwamu mbu)

Chorus 1:
ba nu du (duma iha mi)
la ni (bimbi azu da)
ba hu lu (nili uwa hi)
lu hi (zihi gayu na)

Verse 2:
ala nda uza (dangu zimbi)
unda mba ngu (wawi nima)
ungi aha ugi (diwi wiyu)
wihanda mi zu (zabagu duwa)

Chorus 2:
zi du gu (zingu ilu ya)
ba ni (yangu azi gu)
hu gi da (giyu umu mi)
zi ngi (yandi mbu yu)

Circle Me
Juliette Echo is noah mclaughlin and lalabrookie

remember those awkward days in geometry & algebra
teenage stumbling malcontents?
calculus, trigonometry - these words were so Greek to me
like your beauty in the back of class
that time was so long ago
do these constants still apply?

circle me, square me
divide and multiply me
derive and quantify me, too
circle me, square me
divide and multiply me
i am a function of you

and in this is the awful truth, an awful proof, a stolen sound
it rings from you, rings from me: this tune
these sines and waves, plots and points, graphs of uncertainty
this one sure thing i have from you
that time was so long ago
what do these parameters still do?

circle me, square me
divide and multiply me
derive and quantify me, too
circle me, square me
divide and multiply me
i am a function of you

i hold my breath so as not to sing aloud
there is news up on your wall
what is your formula, these sets, these proofs, parabola
in this expression you are my all
that time was so long ago
why does this all seem so new

circle me, square me
divide and multiply me
derive and quantify me, too
circle me, square me
divide and multiply me
i am a function of you

Color me blind
color me lazy
not everything is so 8-bit hazy
you think I'm lazy
you think I'm dumb
well calling you liar
that's just a rule of thumb
so circle me once
I'll circle your neck
with a noose to hang you
from the gallows pole with
You think I'm done
but I'm not through yet
Soon your gonna wake up
and your bed'll be wet

you say circle him once or twice
when he's been left to his own devices
you say circle hime once again
but I won't have his blood on my hands


say your gonna end me
but not when I defend me
with all of the power
that my forefathers will lend me
so send me to hell
I'm telling you I'll fight back
cut through all them demons
with a razor blade just like that
snap
bet you didn't see it coming
now your in your car
cause you know you best be running
but running won't get you no where
you can feel me in the air and
then something goes here
but the words escape me
unlike you
your fate is just stuck to you just like glue
just like blu and her friends on the boob tube
I'll tell you where my boot is going is gonna need
lube

Circle Me (Minty Handy)

Post by MintyHandy »

I'm wrong, I am not correct
One of four he could have chosen to select
He came close, but he's oh so far
He tried his best, he guessed, and here we are

Circle me so he learns I'm not the answer
For I am not the answer, the answer isn't me

I'm wrong, even on the curve
So I'm asking for the score we both deserve
So close, but there's no cigar
We haven't made the grade, no gold star

So circle me, let him know I'm not the answer
For I am not the answer, it's in your answer key
The answer isn't me

Did he ever think of cheating, getting every answer right
Did he hate this kind of question when he studied late at night
Maybe testing makes him anxious, and he needs support and love
Maybe he should pay attention, or all of the above

I'm wrong, you can plainly see
The kind of right you spell R-I-T-E
I'm wrong, but at least he tried
And I'm no longer feeling empty inside

Circle me so he learns I'm not the answer
For I am not the answer, it's elementary
Circle me, heaven knows I'm not the answer
For I am not the answer, the answer isn't me

Circle Me
by DuToVa

Traveling on the outskirts
Of a city within
To capture a warlord
But there’s no way to win

Assault force is isolated
Assembled to fight
The confrontation is coming
Among the most contrite

Wings circle me
Black sea close by
Soar in to rescue me
A warfighter’s cry

Wings circle me
Red smoke a blur
Instinctive sounds so near
But so far from here

Wounded evacuate
But others remain
Lone soldier contemplates
That a Black Hawk’s down

An urban battle ensued
Throughout the bloody night
A prisoner is taken
What a miserable fight

Wings circle me
Black sea close by
Soar in to rescue me
We’re finally up high

What went wrong here?

Wings circle me
Black sea close by
Soar in to rescue me
We’re finally up high

Wings circle me
Wings circle me and take me home

Post by Infinity Point Buck »

Put me in the middle of your bracket sheet/Circle me the winner
Other players don’t hack it/Even against a beginner
I’m wearing my hat made of fog/They seem content with their bump-on-a-log status
I just had to bring the funk…
But I wasn’t even fixing to get into this game until I realized/I know analogies and I can piece together rhymes
You can see that I’m on time/And I’m musically fly
It ain’t sublime/ but It’s better than a stick in your eye
So check it out a couple of times and know: it can’t happen here/Like my boy Frank Zappa did in the year
Nineteen sixty-four when he was inclined to freak out/Like I took some acid a while ago, and it’s time for me to peak now
Listen to the words that’s coming out of my mouth/I come from the big pebble, magnanimous south
By way of who’s house?/Suckers better know by now, or no trespassing… posted: keep out
Warning: I fly real close to the sun/So if you look directly at me, you’re bound to be stunned
I’ve got you frazzled and dazzled by my thousand points of sound/You forgot who,what,where,when,why,and even how to get down
Now don’t get all down and depressed, and too impressed by my prowess/In life we learn or die, you’ll leverage shit off of cowardice
Nobody’s born a warrior, you build a fire in your furnace/You strategize, and then you act in accordance
But I digress way back to my early days/When I dug a funky worm who had this to say…He said,
“I’m so funky, don’t you know/,and I can take you to the mothership connection
And we can get down with Cholly/Who’s already probably
Going to choose one nation under a groove”…and I said, ”hmm… well, for as long as I live I pledge allegiance to…
The funk!/I even stink like a skunk
My finger-tips so sticky/Don’t pass me that bunk
You little punk/I’ll pop trunk
And I’ll pull the bop-gun/and I’m aiming it
That’s how you can tell/You’re fixing to get shot son
I’m hitting with the shit that’s hot/and I don’t give a fuck if you were mellow or not
Yeah, I need some rest too/I just can’t find the time for it
I must be at my best/ or I don’t get paid dime, or a
Nickel, or a penny/ In fact, there won’t be any
Monetary compensation/Meaning: no vacation
Look, I say that to say this/You’ve got to put down the T.V.,
Think for yourself, and get pissed/and fucking ball up your fists
Get like guerrillas in the mist/I’m definatly not saying “enlist”…It’s just this,
Life is war you ass knucklers/Don’t forget to bring the mother fucking ruckus!
…Om Mani Padme Hum, Om Mani Padme Hum, Om Mani Padme Hum…
Do what you like/All of the time
As long as it’s right/You’re going to be just fine
I don’t believe in sprites/I can’t be stopped by a sign
Man, fish don’t always bite/Just because you cast out your line
So even though I’m only known for hitting the bong/and my money doesn’t ever get all that long
I sing my warrior song/I keep my spirit strong
I have a slightly below average size and left-leaning dong
But it don’t matter/I’m rolling ’99 E-250
Work van/And I’m still plenty nifty
Enough to get next to you/Like I was Al Green
Because I’m a ram/But you don’t know what I mean
Perhaps it’s due to/The fact I took a few
Lessons from a pimp of life: Don Juan Matus/As filtered through Carlos Castaneda
Then me, you see?/What you hear is what it be
Because, I’m your everyday philosopher jack/Except I funk you up so high, you’re probably going to need a nap
Yeah, you can call me mudbone/Or either just too stoned
Anyway…/ you know you’re getting throwed
As I take my throne/ and I’m going home
I’m taking it back to the house/Where it’s as quiet as a mouse
And then I bring it to full…<woo!>, loud!/Diagnosis? =brain cloud
Cure? =I’m putting the lime in the coconut, but I’m still not too sure,
The fact that I smoke the potent shit is neither here nor there,
And if you see an unhealthy bitch… I’m not “with” her…
Because all she’s going to do is just slow me down/I’m like that ouroboros, I came to get around and around…
As I say, and so you see, they just can’t measure up to my megalo sound…Peace out

Look at me
if you want to I'll do anything
I've been left bleeding
broken by a friendly beating

maybe it's what i'm wanting
i need something to take me down
without a warning

You can pursue me
Circle me
take it
Make me forget
things that didn't happen yet

Do to me
all the things i wish
you'd think
i think when I'm only dreaming


i make believe you're kissing me
it tastes like all the heat
you think you see
but you don't know anything

You can't pursue me
circle me
take me
make me believe
that you're in want with me

i'm shaking
I wait for you to handle me
i think you've shown that
you can tease me to your taste and
i imagine that you take me
while I'm sleeping
but I'm just dreaming

If I don't forget to breathe
I'll let you close the distance to me
get inside me

you can bind me, i'll be silent underneath
you can do anything
but tear my heart from me

i need something to circle me
find me something sweet and make believe
circle me

So yeah, Google+ eh...?

I unfriended you years ago, because I wanted to hide
embarassing photos from a party, so I could retain just a little pride
but we've got a new social network now - everybody's making quite a fuss
so if you wanna keep in touch come circle me on Google+

I've been trying for quite some time, but now I'm getting bitter
'cause I tweet probably three hundred times a day, but I still have no followers on twitter
but I sent you an invite so go sign up - it's free
then I can share you my whole life, even if you don't circle me

Circle me... circle me... circle me
You can share with me exclusively if you circle me

I don't use LinkedIn much, and haven't tried foursquare
Or Bebo, or Orkut, or even Friendster, but come on - who really cares?
and MySpace is dead, except for some garage bands
so if you gave those all up and circled me, I'd understand

Circle me... circle me... circle me
You can share with me exclusively if you circle me

I have one circle for frenemies, another for friends
others for classmates, and tech geeks, and musicians
And concentric circles sorting out my whole family tree
I promise I'll drag you and drop you into one of 'em, if you circle me

Circle me... circle me... circle me
You can share with me exclusively if you circle me
Circle me... circle me... circle me
You can "Share what's new" with me if you circle me

MY LYRICS AS CURRENTLY RECORDED

I hate the way that you think
that you own me
the way you assume
that you know me

Taking liberties
with the object that you see
and as for listening
well … what need would there be

And you circle like a shark around me
And as I lay here and you eat
… well, I just bleed.

When somebody says 'yes' to a question
that doesn't give them a pass to the rest of your person
You can take it / or you can leave it
You don't have to agree to the rape of your reason

And you circle like a shark around me
And as I lay here and you eat
… well, I just bleed.

Why don't you see my meaning…
look deep inside, to what a lover might do?
And I had a lover, 'till you turned me into you

I hate the way that you think
that you own me
… you assume that you know me

and you circle me
…and I just bleed : ||

********
NOTES:
lyric changes that I will implement which have not yet been Recorded:

I hate the way that you think
that you own me
the way you assume
that you know..

You take liberties
with the object
and as for listening
well … you won't.

[only other change is in the bridge:]
"look deep inside
like a lover might do"
"Really interesting how the point you’re making slowly emerges like Martin Sheen from the mud in Apocalypse Now..." ~j$
