resolve

FOO FIGHTERS'ın 2005 yılında çıkardığı "In Your Honor" albümünden bir şarkı. sözleri de şöyledir:

Something that I felt today, something that I heard
Swingin' from the chandeliers, hanging on your word
I remember watchin' you once upon a time
Dancing from across the room in another life

A little bit of resolve is what I need now
Pin me down, show me how
A little bit of resolve is what I need now
Pin me down, show me how

Lookin' back to find my way, never seemed so hard
Yesterday's been laid to rest, changing of the guard
I would never change a thing even if I could
All the songs we used to sing, everything was good

A little bit of resolve is what I need now
Pin me down, show me how
A little bit of resolve is what I need now
Pin me down, show me how

One more year that you're not here
It's gone and passed you by
What happened to you, what happened to you
One more tear that you won't hear
That's gone and passed you by
What happened to you, what happened to you

A little bit of resolve is what I need now
Pin me down, show me how
A little bit of resolve is what I need now
Pin me down, show me how

A little bit of resolve
One more year that you're not here
It's gone and passed you by (A little bit of resolve)
A little bit of resolve
One more year that you're not here
It's gone and passed you by (A little bit of resolve)

Day of mist: day of tarnish

with hands
unserviceable, I wait

for the milk van

the one-eared cat
laps its gray paw

and the coal fire burns

outside, the little hedge leaves are
become quite yellow
a milk-film blurs
the empty bottles on the windowsill

no glory descends

two water drops poise
on the arched green
stem of my neighbor's rose bush

o bent bow of thorns

the cat unsheathes its claws
the world turns

today
today I will not
disenchant my twelve black-gowned examiners
or bunch my fist
in the wind's sneer.

Karar

Sisli gün: rengi kararmış gün

işe yaramaz
ellerle beklerim
süt arabasını

tek kulaklı kedi
yalar gri ayağını

ve yanar kömür ateşi

dışarıda, çitteki küçük yapraklar
sapsarı
bir süt zarı bulanıklaştırır
denizlikteki boş şişeleri

görkem inmez yere

iki su damlası dengede durur
komşumun gül çalısında
çatallı yeşilde

ey dikenlerin kıvrık yayı

kınından çıkarır pençelerini kedi
döner dünya

bugün
bugün siyah cüppeli on iki sınavcımı
hayal kırıklığına uğratmayacağım
ya da yumruğumu sıkmayacağım
rüzgârın alayında

bir kaya project parçası. sakinleştirir.
