Daily Open Thread for Tuesday, Feb. 5: Through Glass

Here's your Daily Open Thread for Tuesday, Feb. 5, 2013. As usual, come discuss whatever your heart desires, or unload the depths of your despair, we are here for you either way, for better or for worse. Whether you get bored at work, have something on your mind, or just want to chat with all your favorite lovely Cagesiders on any topic you want -- even some wrestling!

Today, I wish to share a song from one of the lyrical geniuses of my generation, Mr. Corey Taylor. A song that crawls inside my head and plucks thoughts onto the strings. I remember watching him perform it on the Family Values Tour back in the day and just blowing me away. Here, Corey performs it live in this video with Stone Sour (his more main stream band, but not necessarily his best band, in my opinion... if you haven't give SlipKnot a chance I highly suggest you do so, a song from them likely will appear tomorrow)

-- "Through Glass".

Enjoy ~

Then, after checking that out, then (and only then -- this one is required, it will be on the FINAL, take notes) you should be sure to scroll on down through the thread, make a comment or two -- or dozens; revisit it throughout the day (and night). You will be sure to enjoy some of the usual gems from your fellow Cagesiders, including:

Match of the Day, Music Video Link of the day, Babe of the day, Bro of the day, Alison Brie gif of the day, AJ Lee pic of the day, Photo Caption of the Day, and more!

This thread is not guaranteed to cheer up any form of blues you may have, but it will at least give you a venue to gripe about the big game, your work, your better half, the kids, heels or faces in your life, or the general public at large or to perhaps celebrate all the shit that makes you happy in this world.

Whether you are alone or not, hard not to want to sing along with this one. Give it a go, or comment, or lurk... 'til your heart is content!

Every now and then I go against the grain and post lyrics... only if to me they are too brilliant or meaningful not to. Today is one of those days:

COREY TAYLOR's STONE SOUR LYRICS:

"Through Glass"

I'm looking at you through the glass...
Don't know how much time has passed
Oh, god it feels like forever
But no one ever tells you that forever
Feels like home, sitting all alone, inside your head

How do you feel? That is the question
But I forget... you don't expect an easy answer
When something like a soul becomes
Initialized and folded up like paper dolls and little notes
You can't expect a bit of hope
So while you're outside looking in
Describing what you see
Remember what you're staring at is me

Cause I'm looking at you through the glass...
Don't know how much time has passed
All I know is that it feels like forever
When no one ever tells you that forever
Feels like home, sitting all alone, inside your head

How much is real? So much to question
An epidemic of the mannequins
Contaminating everything
When thought came from the heart
It never did right from the start
Just listen to the noises
(Null and void instead of voices)
Before you tell yourself
It's just a different scene
Remember, it's just different from what you've seen

I'm looking at you through the glass...
Don't know how much time has passed
And all I know is that it feels like forever
When no one ever tells you that forever
Feels like home, sitting all alone... inside your head

And it's the starrrssss
The sttarrrsss
That shine for you
And it's the starrrssss
The sttarrrsss
That lie to you... yeah-ah

I'm looking at you through the glass...
Don't know how much time has passed
Oh, god it feels like forever
But no one ever tells you that forever
Feels like home, sitting all alone, inside your head

'Cause I'm looking at you through the glass...
Don't know how much time has passed
All I know is that it feels like forever
But no one ever tells you that forever
Feels like home, sitting all alone inside your heaaaaddd

And it's the starrrssss
The sttarrrsss
That shine for you.. yeah-ah
And it's the starrrssss
The sttarrrsss
That lie to you.. yeah-ah

And it's the starrrssss
The sttarrrsss
That shine for you.. yeah-ah
And it's the starrrssss
The sttarrrsss
That lie to you.. yeah-ah yeah

Ohhhoh when the starrs
Ohhh oh when the starrrrs that liieee!
