Too lazy to post anything substantial, there was that thing at the doctors over the past week but I'll save that for another time. Now for another song from another anime, this time it's from the OST of Cowboy Bebop the Movie - Future Blues, this will of course be the second time I've posted the lyrics up for a song from this particular soundtrack the first being Gotta Knock a Little Harder and all I can say is that this anime has one of the best soundtracks I've ever heard. So here it is, No Reply by Tim Jensen and Yoko Kanno.

Like the perfect ending
It won't be too long
Till everything I've ruined has seen me gone
In time, I pray you'll forgive
Now you know the man I am
Can you forgive me?

I fall
Like the sands of time
Like some broken rhyme
At feet no longer there

*If only I could call the rain to melt and wash away the pain you feel I would
You gave yourself to me and showed me what the truth could be
For that, I say thank you
This was my life
It never made much sense to me

With every lie that I lived
Part of me would fade
Into this empty shadow
I've become
And now I feel so numb
I no longer know myself
But I still know you

I call
And there's no reply
Like some phantom cry
On ears too far away

I close my eyes and watch as my life passes by
The only thing I see is you
For all the times you walked the line for me and standing by my side
I say thank you
Here lies my life
It never felt that real to me

You'll always mean so much to me
And there's no reply
And there's no reply
You'll never know how much you meant to me

Repeat *

I close my eyes and watch as my life passes by
The only thing I see is you
For all the times you walked the line for me and standing by my side
I say thank you
Here lies my life
It never felt that real to me

You in my life
It all meant so much more to me

This song isn't aimed at particularly anything, I just quite like the lyrics and felt that it was very meaningful and would probably hold some deep seated meaning for some. It does not however apply to me as no such person has appeared in my life yet, in a relationship sense of course and I've so far done quite a decent job of weathering out my stormy life by myself thank you very much.
