INVISIBLE STRING - Taylor Swift Green was the color of the grass Where I used to read at Centennial Park I used to think I would meet somebody there Teal was the color of your shirt When you were sixteen at the yogurt shop You used to work at to make a little money Time, curious time Gave me no compasses, gave me no signs Were there clues I didn't see? And isn't it just so pretty to think All along there was some Invisible string Tying you to me? Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Bad was the blood of the song in the cab On your first trip to LA You ate at my favorite spot for dinner Bold was the waitress on our three-year trip Getting lunch down by the Lakes She said I looked like an American singer Time, mystical time Cutting me open, then healing me fine Were there clues I didn't see? And isn't it just so pretty to think All along there was some Invisible string Tying you to me? Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh A string that pulled me Out of all the wrong arms, right into that dive bar Something wrapped all of my past mistakes in barbed wire Chains around my demons Wool to brave the seasons One single thread of gold Tied me to you Cold was the steel of my axe to grind For the boys who broke my heart Now I send their babies presents Gold was the color of the leaves When I showed you around Centennial Park Hell was the journey but it brought me heaven Time, wondrous time Gave me the blues and then purple-pink skies And it's cool Baby, with me And isn't it just so pretty to think All along there was some Invisible string Tying you to me?

  • Dead Zone Boys Lyrics
    Phantom Don't Go Phantom don't go, stay with me. I got to have one more, stay with me. You know I love your shape the most, stay with me. Make peace with the Holy Ghost, stay with me. Phantom, don't ever leave. I need your powers if I'm 'gonna succeed. Forgive the white hearts for doubting your soul. They know it takes two ancient halves to be whole. Dead zone boys wish to take your life away, and the desperate phantoms wish to put you in their place. Phantom don't go, stay with me. Dead zone boys coming close, stay with me. Your the only one they listen to, stay with me. I keep a blade for your hand to use, stay with me. Phantom, don't ever go. I want your powers but I 'gotta say no. I 'gotta get right. I stained my eyes staring into the light. Runes and sens buzzin' round my head. You glyph me out like I would rather be dead. Your phantom dancing, your phantom strength, your phantom wisdom, your phantom bank. Dead zone boys wish to take your life away, and the desperate phantoms wish to put you in their place. Phantom don't go, stay with me. Dead zone boys coming close, stay with me. Your the only one they listen to, stay with me. I keep a blade for your hand to use, stay with me. Dont Go Phantom Don't Go Phantom, I'm in love with you. I'll do anything you want me to do.

  • Yasmina Chavez Electronic Integrated Arts MFA 2016 Thesis School of Art and Design - NYSCC at Alfred University Thesis Exhibit: April 9, 2016
    “Sensing Time” Yasmina Chavez Electronic Integrated Arts MFA 2016 Thesis School of Art and Design - NYSCC at Alfred University Thesis Exhibit: April 9, 2016 Committee Members: Peer Bode (Chair), Barbara Lattanzi, Joseph Scheer Introduction In Las Vegas, Nevada, where I’m from, there are three different coexisting strata of time: casinos or casino environments, the regular 24-hour clock calendar day society, and the desert. The casino environment consists of any place with gambling facilities. This includes any place with a gambling license from the major touristic casinos like the MGM to your neighborhood grocery stores or even, on your way out of the city, the airport. The casino environment furnishes the experience of timelessness, which is activated through an infinitely looping hand action. Pushing buttons or pulling levers (slot machine), holding, flicking or arranging cards (table games), and rolling or throwing dice (roulette table) are some examples of this looping hand action. The action holds the gambler in place until they run out of money, win, or something from 24-hour calendar day society pulls them away. Both the casino environment and the 24-hour calendar day society weave in and out of each other like soap bubbles in the wind. These two bubbles of time exist inside a larger bubble – the desert, which visibly surrounds the city a full 360 degrees. It is not only visible everywhere, but it is also felt through the tremendous heat and dry air that it breathes. On some of the hottest days everything seems to pause, even the air. Time in the desert is experienced on a massive scale, as if the land, which exudes a sense of finality, an end of calendar-time and eternality of both, had swallowed time.
