Riverside, Beyond the Eyelids. Relevance: Moderately High

We are none of us... If I still believed in me I would lie If I had another chance I would try If I lost my dreams I would blame myself again If I were myself I would be someone else If I did't want to feel I would stay If I were myself I would be someone else Cause I can See the truth in the photograph And with all that's mine I need to look back inside And this day New life raced through my mind So with all that's mine I need to look back inside

Leonard Cohen - First We Take Manhattan. Relevance: Weirdly High

"First We Take Manhattan" They sentenced me to twenty years of boredom  For trying to change the system from within  I'm coming now, I'm coming to reward them  First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin  I'm guided by a signal in the heavens  I'm guided by this birthmark on my skin  I'm guided by the beauty of our weapons  First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin  I'd really like to live beside you, baby  I love your body and your spirit and your clothes  But you see that line there moving through the station?  I told you, I told you, told you, I was one of those  Ah you loved me as a loser, but now you're worried that I just might win  You know the way to stop me, but you don't have the discipline  How many nights I prayed for this, to let my work begin  First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin  I don't like your fashion business mister  And I don't like these drugs that keep you thin  I don't like what happened
