Garbage - Man On A Wire Lyrics
I looked into the mirror
What did I see?
There was a big black beast
Looking back at me
What did you see?
You saw a big black beast
Magnified in me
Like a man on a wire
I set myself on fire
Destroyer of a dream
Trying to find a spark
Desperate for love
Like a man on a wire
I was like a volcano
Just waiting to explode
But I have been resurrected, reborn
And I have been transformed
I was a green eyed monster
Could you tell I was afraid?
I sat myself down and shot my fear in the face
Like a man on a wire
I set myself on fire
Destroyer of a dream
Trying to find a spark
Desperate for love
Like a man on a wire
I set myself on fire
Destroyer of a dream
Trying to find a spark
Desperate for love
Like a man on a wire
That's right
Yeah, I see you sitting around
With your wristwatch
And your white collared shirt
I see you
Hoping to watch me fail
Uh-uh!
You're hoping to watch me fail
Uh-uh!
I sat myself down and shot my fear in the face
Like a man on a wire
I set myself on fire
Destroyer of a dream
Trying to find a spark
Desperate for love
Like a man on a wire
I set myself on fire
Destroyer of a dream
Trying to find a spark
Desperate for love
Like a man on a wire

Yassssssssss!!!!!!!!!
I'd love to see queen of the stone age cover this
love it
My mood tonight...
shirley is a godess...i sat myself down and shot my fear in the face
season of the witch...
Ur a pos
Lol @ Crysta, it's just a song and the big black beast is about that moment when you look in a mirror and aren't happy about yourself. Jeeeeeez.
Seriously CrystaTiBoha... you're projecting. Keep your cuckolding fantasies to yourself. Frankly, the rest of us are just trying to enjoy an awesome song.
I was like a volcano, waiting to eplode - no commentary.
But I have been resurrected, reborn - through what activity are people reborn? You know it.
And I have been transformed - conception, or perhaps the '... you never go back'?
Yeah, I see you sitting around
With your wristwatch
And your white collared shirt - her husband is waiting for it to end.
Hoping to watch me fail - hoping for the next week to be infertile.
Now I need a shower. I expected better of Garbage. :/
Destroyer of our dream - unfaithfullness, and 'once you go black, you never go back'.
Trying to find a spark, desperate for love - well, trying new things, making love in a new way.
Like a man on a wire - who's been hanged in the past in the US?
Set myself on fire - getting too close to a KKK victim.
Sat myself down and shot my fear in the face - she can sit in front of, or onto a man. And not only firearms can shoot her in the face, if you know what I mean.
The unfortunate thing about this song is, that it can be understood as a confession about a cuckolding experience with a black man.
The look in the mirror: they are in the bathroom, preparing. The 'big black beast' can be standing beside her, for example.
Looking in her eyes and the big black beast being magnifyied in her - magnify means to make bigger. Well, a penis inside a woman would typically be engorged with blood.
The fuck are you talking about lmfao
Yeah what the fuck are you talking about?
Best song on the new album by a mile. Good album too.
Bullshit Meta...not the music...it's personal folks
