LYRICS- Achilles Achilles Achilles come down, won't you Get up off Get up off the roof? You're scaring us And all of us Some of us love you Achilles, it's not much but there's proof You crazy assed cosmonaut Remember your virtue Redemption lies plainly in truth Just humour us Achilles Achilles come down Won't you get up off Get up off the roof Achilles Achilles Achilles come down, won't you Get up off Get up off the roof? The self is not so weightless Nor whole and unbroken Remember the pact of our youth Where you go I'm going So jump and I'm jumping Since there is no me without you Soldier on Achilles Achilles come down Won't you get up off Get up off the roof? Loathe the way they light candles in Rome But love the sweet air of the votives Hurt and grieve but don't suffer alone Engage with the pain as a motive Today of all days See How the most dangerous thing is to love How you will heal and you'll rise above Achilles Achilles Achilles Jump now You are absent of cause Or excuse So self-indulgent And self-referential No audience could ever want you You crave the applause Yet hate the attention Then miss it, your act is a ruse It is empty, Achilles So end it all now It's a pointless resistance For you Achilles Achilles Just put down the bottle Don't listen to what you've consumed It's chaos, confusion And wholly unworthy Of feeding and it's wholly untrue You may feel no purpose Nor a point for existing It's all just conjecture and gloom And there may not be meaning So find one and seize it Do not waste your self on this roof Hear those bells ring deep in the soul Chiming away for a moment Feel your breath course frankly below See life as a worthy opponent Today of all days See How the most dangerous thing is to love How you will heal and you'll rise above Crowned by an overture bold and beyond Ah, it's more courageous to overcome You want the acclaim The mother of mothers (it's not worth it Achilles) More poignant than fame Or the taste of another (don't listen Achilles) But be real and just jump You dense motherfucker (you're worth more, Achilles) You will not be more Than a rat in the gutter (so much more than a rat) You want my opinion (no one asked your opinion) My opinion you've got You asked for my counsel (no one asked for your thoughts) I gave you my thoughts Be done with this now And jump off the roof Can you hear me Achilles? I'm talking to you I'm talking to you I'm talking to you I'm talking to you Achilles come down Achilles come down Throw yourself into the unknown With pace and a fury defiant Clothe yourself in beauty untold And see life as a means to a triumph Today of all days See How the most dangerous thing is to love How you will heal and you'll rise above Crowned by an overture bold and beyond Ah, it's more courageous to overcome
Whenever I hear Achilles Come Down, It reminds me of what my heart longs for. I always yearn to have lived in a reality or universe where I am dancing with someone in a ballroom to that song. It reminds me of the reality that I am in now and how I will never have what I wish for. That is all I could ever ask for and want. Nothing more than to be in one of those beautiful dresses, twirling around a ballroom with that special person. I might fantasize too much but this is all I could have ever asked for in any lifetime. I wouldn't need money or the people's approval or permission from anyone as long as I am in that ballroom in a big beautiful dress. Thank you for reading my fantasy dream and hopes that even I and the reader of this knows will not come true. I sure wish there was a time travel machine though...
It aches to strive for someone to love you like how Achilles and Patroclus cherished each other, every part of me longing for someone to mourn over my corpse like how Achilles did over Patroclus', to hear them sing only and only for you, to be contemptuous about having you by their side like Achilles did when he had his Patroclus, to be with someone through the heaven, grave, and this transitory realm, to be understood by that one person like Patroclus did Achilles, to be Mortally Immortal together.
LYRICS-
Achilles
Achilles
Achilles come down, won't you
Get up off
Get up off the roof?
You're scaring us
And all of us
Some of us love you
Achilles, it's not much but there's proof
You crazy assed cosmonaut
Remember your virtue
Redemption lies plainly in truth
Just humour us
Achilles
Achilles come down
Won't you get up off
Get up off the roof
Achilles
Achilles
Achilles come down, won't you
Get up off
Get up off the roof?
The self is not so weightless
Nor whole and unbroken
Remember the pact of our youth
Where you go
I'm going
So jump and I'm jumping
Since there is no me without you
Soldier on
Achilles
Achilles come down
Won't you get up off
Get up off the roof?
Loathe the way they light candles in Rome
But love the sweet air of the votives
Hurt and grieve but don't suffer alone
Engage with the pain as a motive
Today of all days
See
How the most dangerous thing is to love
How you will heal and you'll rise above
Achilles
Achilles
Achilles
Jump now
You are absent of cause
Or excuse
So self-indulgent
And self-referential
No audience could ever want you
You crave the applause
Yet hate the attention
Then miss it, your act is a ruse
It is empty, Achilles
So end it all now
It's a pointless resistance
For you
Achilles
Achilles
Just put down the bottle
Don't listen to what you've consumed
It's chaos, confusion
And wholly unworthy
Of feeding and it's wholly untrue
You may feel no purpose
Nor a point for existing
It's all just conjecture and gloom
And there may not be meaning
So find one and seize it
Do not waste your self on this roof
Hear those bells ring deep in the soul
Chiming away for a moment
Feel your breath course frankly below
See life as a worthy opponent
Today of all days
See
How the most dangerous thing is to love
How you will heal and you'll rise above
Crowned by an overture bold and beyond
Ah, it's more courageous to overcome
You want the acclaim
The mother of mothers (it's not worth it Achilles)
More poignant than fame
Or the taste of another (don't listen Achilles)
But be real and just jump
You dense motherfucker (you're worth more, Achilles)
You will not be more
Than a rat in the gutter (so much more than a rat)
You want my opinion (no one asked your opinion)
My opinion you've got
You asked for my counsel (no one asked for your thoughts)
I gave you my thoughts
Be done with this now
And jump off the roof
Can you hear me Achilles?
I'm talking to you
I'm talking to you
I'm talking to you
I'm talking to you
Achilles come down
Achilles come down
Throw yourself into the unknown
With pace and a fury defiant
Clothe yourself in beauty untold
And see life as a means to a triumph
Today of all days
See
How the most dangerous thing is to love
How you will heal and you'll rise above
Crowned by an overture bold and beyond
Ah, it's more courageous to overcome
