Hello peeps! And welcome back to Glass Mannequin, the blog about my music, and my life. As you can probably tell by the title, the song this week is “Messages” but we”ll get into that later. First, I feel the need to make you read about my weekend!
Friday
We got out of school due to the 5 inches of snow outside…*YUS*!! But the school didnt bother calling me until AFTER I had woken up at 5:30, hit the snooze button, woken up again at 5:37, hit the snooze button again, slept through the alarm until 6:09 gotten ready for school, and began opening the front door to leave!! So, I was pretty annoyed, but still relieved to not have to go to school. Later that day, Me and my friends decided to do stupid stunts and stuff on a snowboard (Bonus Points for alliteration!) First, we tied a rope to the back of my friend Nick’s, brother’s truck and got up to speeds of about 45-60 miles per hour! As you may have guessed, multiple injuries followed. Then, seeing that we hadnt broken anything, we decided to snowboard off of Nick’s shed. His shed is about 8 feet tall, and 25 feet long. We all took turns doing stunts, until I very severely twisted my ankle. Now you’d think we would stop now, right? wrong. We just started the whole thing over agian, but with a sled this time to avoid hurting my ankle even more. Then I went to my friend Markus’ house for weekly band practice, we got a lot done, and we’re actually starting to make sounds that resemble music. I ended up spending the night at Markus’, and we played a 36 song setlist on rockband 2!
Saturday
I stayed at Markus’ until about 2:00, then went home for cleaning day.*Ugh*. Saturday was a lazy day for me, mostly spent playing guitar.
Sunday
Church was beastly, I’m fired up for God! WOOT! I got a haircut, and it’s pretty short…It’s not terrible, its just…bad. I played guitar a lot, and played Mario Kart Wii with the family, it was a pretty beast day!
And Finally, “Messages”
You’ve got to hold on tight to your beliefs,
and try not to fall apart.
don’t let other people try to bring you down.
say what’s on your mind while you feel what’s in your heart
You stand stronger the more that you kneel,
just like the more love you give, the more love you feel.
life goes on like the turn of the wheel.
Through my god, my wounds are all healed.
And I can hear the messages of tearstained faces, forsaken places.
And I can try to feel like I belong.
But the confusion and frustration it is piling up
And I cant last forever I don’t know how long till I die.
I don’t know why
a king would go through that for me.
I don’t know why it had to be
I don’t feel like I’m worth it,
don’t feel like I deserve it.
I don’t know why
he felt the need to die for me
on the cross he died for me
I don’t feel like im worth it.
don’t feel like I deserve it.
And I can hear the messages of tearstained faces, forsaken places.
And I can try to feel like I belong.
But the confusion and frustration it is piling up
And I cant last forever I don’t know how long till I die.
ignorant people who dont believe
who waste the gift of eternity
who think he’s just a giant lie
but i see signs of hope in their eyes.
And I can hear the messages of tearstained faces, forsaken places.
And I can try to feel like I belong.
But the confusion and frustration it is piling up
And I cant last forever I don’t know how long till I die.
Well, that’s it for this week, I’ll post agian next week! I hope you enjoy the song!
~~~J.D.~~~
YUS to the snow day! 😛 I got up extra early on Friday to straighten my hair, I was annoyed. My dad came in while I was in the process of finishing (I was painfully out of it).
“Madison”
“Huh?”
“The school just called, you’re off school today.”
*stares at phone in confusion* “They just…”
*nods and talks slowly as if talking to a child* “Caaallled.”
Pretty sad that I was having so much trouble comprehending. Haha! I was only halfway done straightening, and I just plopped back into bed. So for the rest of the day it looked like my hair was sprouting like a tree, beautiful. XD
Ok… I probably would’ve tried sledding off the shed… Just not the snowboarding. lol
It seems like I’ve told you before, but I love the first stanza. I also like the part in the second stanza, “Life goes on like the turn of a wheel, through my God, my wounds are all healed.” 😀
“Then, seeing that we hadnt broken anything, we decided to snowboard off of Nick’s shed.” HAHA!! Sounds like an awesome weekend!
Ok, I don’t think I can stand reading your songs anymore. They make me too jealous!! xD Jk, but really, you have awesome song writing talent. I see a lot of symbolism in them. I’m a little too retarded to incorporate symbolism in my writings, so that fascinates me even more. LOL
Haha, I’m sure you could use symbolism! The hard part is finding something to write about, although GOD is always there, and is HUGE inspiration. AND THANKS FOR COMMENTING!!!
Hi, I’m Tianna. LOVE your site (:
Haha that sounds like so much fun!!
Yeah, It was! Thanks for the comment!

Hmmm…Seems to me you already know it was stupid, so I’m not gonna say anything else.
(But it still sounds fun ;-D)
Oh, and sweet song (alliteration!)
Already know what was stupid?
