I have heard this song countless times before, but recently, I was reminded of back in my JC days when I was volunteering at a welfare home for broken families. I basically went there and played with the kids there. The first time there, I wore this Spiderman Tshirt (I wonder if I still have it), and the kids there began to call me Spiderman after.
This song is taken from the Spiderman soundtrack (Spiderman 2 I think) and the whole song is about Spiderman and Mary-Jane. It is a really nice song telling his story, and one line got caught in my mind, making the whole song really poignant. The interlude is really awesome too. Cheers to Yellowcard for this awesome song.
Gifts and Curses by Yellowcard
Mary belongs to the words of a song.
I try to be strong for her, try not to be wrong for her.
But she will not wait for me, anymore, anymore.
Why did I say all those things before? I was sure.
(She is the one), but I have a purpose,
(she is the one), and I have to fight this,
(she is the one), a villian I can’t knock down.
I see your face with every punch I take,
and every bone I break, it’s all for you.
And my worst pains are words I cannot say,
still I will always fight on for you.
Mary’s alive in the bright New York sky,
the city lights shine for her, above them I cry for her.
Everything’s small on the ground below, down below.
What if I fall, then where would I go, would she know?
(She is the one), all that I wanted,
(she is the one), and I will be haunted,
(she is the one), this gift is my curse for now.
I see your face with every punch I take,
and every bone I break, it’s all for you.
And my worst pains are words I cannot say,
Still I will always fight on for you. Fight on for you …
