השיר "אנשים לא משתנים" בדף הפייסבוק של הגר

You might
come here for the last time tonight
come here with your true inner light
like hand-held fans gently open

You said
that's probably where we stand
the story is going to end
and it never took off to begin with
But the thing is that – people never change
they just decide to be together

Perhaps
nothing's about to collapse
I was burning alone in the desert
picturing palm trees and fountains

And just now
I feel the pain sprouting high
like an untimely flower that tries
to start the Fall in the middle of Summer
Now I think that – people never change
they just decide to be together
People never change
they continue to live like nothing matters

סרטון השיר המקורי:

She said: Danny, hun
don't forget to take your meds
coz if you skip'em
well, your speech becomes a quirky mess
Love is not intended for the coward ones
A meaningful relationship ain't for the lazy guys
She wrote that in a letter
I burned the paper trail
I was circling around myself
looking for my tail

Felt her clinging to my soul
like ingrown nails
She punctured all my wheels
and made my tires flat
No matter what I tried
she lured me in
It shattered me completely
got addicted to the pain
No one send me now to rehabilitate
I’m really at my best
when I am like that

This is it
This is it
There is no escaping it

This is it, yeah
This is it
There is no escaping it

I go outside and window shop along my way
coz every day in Tel-Aviv is like a pride parade
You can take a look, can take a peek
What happens on the streets
is immorally sleek
Those teenage girls with miniskirts and lip gloss glam
Such a splendid show of elegance
a juvenile realm

Then I signed-up to a workshop
to become more self aware
Said I gotta smoke less cigarettes
to clear my air
I wanna be a healthy guy
I wanna gain my inner peace
They always told me at the end
I'll find the endless bliss
So we did Sun Salutation
stretched the body hard
They told me
push a little further
but not so far

This is it…

There I met a girl
She told me all about her mess
For a year now with no boyfriend
and the sex was kinda scarce
Then she smiled and gently whispered
"well, I live nearby"
"we can have a cup-a-coffee"
I couldn't even hear my mind
Heard myself say
"What the hell"
and later in her maze
she didn't leave me for a second
till she came in the first place

This is it…

I woke up, the sun was shining
she was dressing up
I caressed her back
and she was blushing inside out

She said
Listen, there's one thing that I almost forgot to say
I don’t know how to bluff or tell a lie
Don't take it the wrong way
we didn’t use a condom
if my period's late
tomorrow I turn 40, so I'll keep it, you can bet
I'll keep the baby

When I went outside alone
my confusion upped a notch
Like a star in my own show
but there is no one to watch

Then the drizzle has begun
and I thought it was a sign
they are waiting to admit me
where the pills are endless fun
And I really think
I need some tying down, that’s what I mean
Let’s breathe in asylum air
and embrace the old routine

This is it
This is it
There is no escaping it

This is it, yeah
This is it
There is no escaping it

סרטון השיר המקורי:

Yeah, it kept me alive
For a very long time it kept me alive
until I thought I couldn't do without
Of course I get by
and even if I die

Stems of sugarcane
the lotus is sweet
and the weed becomes tar
until I tasted forbidden fruits and doubts
until I thought I couldn't do without

If I can't get this shit, I’ll try
yeah I’ll try any way
coz it keeps me alive
Holding on to our life

Now I long to be touched
too close and too far, she's one of her kind
At the end of the day
the one thing I need is someone to love
who will keep me alive
I need love to keep me

I know I couldn't do without
Of course I get by, and even if I die

If I can't get this shit, I’ll try
yeah I’ll try any way
coz it keeps me alive
Holding on to our life

Creatures, creations and craving, they all hang from the tree
the one that keeps me alive
Holding on to our life

סרטון השיר המקורי:

The eyes
they see all the sights
they don’t need to pry
forever entwined
glancing far, the eyes
The colors they sense
the inner intents
a vision and phrase
carried by the eyes

The eyes
they're laughing with tears
years after years
and how they appear
to caress, the eyes
They open so slow
two windows that glow
truth and secrets all flow
story of the eyes

I had some days I thought I couldn't get so far
I saw how everything was withering and dying
Oh no
Oh no

The eyes
closed or open to all
bigger or small
tear drops that fall
Sobbing begging eyes
I missed you so bad
and became truly mad
For a second I had
to see you and
your eyes

The eyes
they're laughing with tears
years after years
the eyes
I missed you so bad
and became truly mad
for a second I had
to see you and
your eyes

I had some days I thought I couldn't get so far
I saw how everything was withering and dying

Oh no
Oh no
the eyes

I had some days I thought I couldn't get so far
I saw how everything was withering and dying

Oh no
Oh no
the eyes
