Alone in my dreams I'm the only one who tends to scream.
Alone in the dark just trying to do my part.
Alone it seems the darkness of my past overshadows any hope for the future.
Alone.
Alone I'm seen falling apart at the seams.
Alone you broke me, now theres not way to fix me.
Alone too lost to be found.
Alone I walk a lonely road. The only one I'll ever know.
Its the only home for me.
Alone.

~*~*~*~*~I hate you...I swear~*~*~*~*~

Can't you see that when you

Scream at me,
Ignore me,
Hate me,
Use and abuse me
You're tearing me up inside

Don't you care?
I guess now you heartless fuck!
I fucking hate you!
Why do you do this to me?!
Don't you care?

I fucking hate you!
Then why when you

Scream at me,
Ignore me,
Hate me,
Use and abuse me
You tear me up inside

I hate you
I fucking hate you!
I hate you...Why do I care when you

Scream at me,
Ignore me,
Hate me,
Use and abuse me

I hate you...
I hate you...

Don't you care?

~*~*~*~*All I wanted was you~*~*~*~*

Do you hear me screaming(in the dark)
Do you feel me in your arms?
Do you taste me in your tears?(so many tears)
Do you see me crying?(all alone)

I know who you are(now)
I see you lying(pretending)
I know you're alone
The words will fade
But the memory burns forever

All I wanted(needed)
Was to be(safe)with you
I loved you(totally and completely)
I trusted you(totally and completely)

I know who you are(now)
I see you lying(pretending)
I know you're alone
The words will fade
But the memory remains x2

I have dreamt of a place
For you and I
Dear love,Don't you wish to be free(with me?)

I know who you are(now)
I see you lying(pretending)
I know you're alone
The words will fade
But the memory remains


I realize now...
It was all a lie

I know who you are(now)
I see you lying(pretending)
I know you're alone
The words will fade
But the memory remains x2

I'm sorry I disgust you
I know I'm a disgrace(But are you really any better?)

I know who you are(now)
I see you lying(pretending)
I know you're alone
The words will fade
But the memory remains


~*~*~*~*~Do you see it?~*~*~*~*~

When you look at me,
What do you see?
Do you see

The haunting pain of betrayal
The vivid scars you caused
The love you lost?

Do you see it?
Or do you ignore it?
Do you see me
Screaming,
Pleading,
Bleeding,
For you?

Are you so fucking blind that you don't see?!
Don't you fucking see me?

Screaming,
Pleading,
Bleeding,
All this for a fuck up like you!

Do you see it?
Or do you ignore it?

Don't tell me you're so blind that you don't see me
Screaming,
Pleading,
Bleeding,
For you.


When you look at me,
What do you see?
(...fuck you...)

...Haunting pain...
...Vivid scars...
...Love lost...
(..FUCK you..)

Do you see it?
Or do you ignore it?

Screaming!
Pleading!
Bleeding!

FUCK YOU!!!

Love me,
Hate me...
~Please?~

~*~*~*~Free~*~*~*~

In my life theres
Been heartache
and pain
I don't know if
I can face the day

I never wanted to be this way
I've only ever wanted to be free
You keep my trapped in lies
How am I supposed to face myself?

{chorus}
Don't say!
Just go away!
I don't need you anymore
Don't stay!
Just go away!
I don't want you anymore

(Baby,Baby)
I'm free. I"m free
I've let go of the pain
I'm free,I'm free

{chorus}

I've forgotten(all about)you
I'm free
I've let go of the pain(I held onto for so long)
I'm free

{chorus}

I'm free. I'm free

~*~*~*~Opposites Attract~*~*~*~

Will you remember me?
(Like I remember you)
Or will you forget me?
(Like I never existed)

How can we be
one in the same
Yet complete
opposites?

{chorus}
I love you,
You hate me
I mistrust you
You trust me
I remember every
breath you take
You don't even
Recognize me

They say opposites attract

tell u tha truth i perfer
the worst of you
too bad you had to have a better
half
she's not really my type
but i thInk you two are forever
i hate to say it but
you'er perfect together

Goth used to be a subclassification of punk. In the early to mid 80s, it emerged as a subculture in its own right, complete with its own graphic art, literature, music, and fashion. There is so much diversity within the gothic world that its members strongly resist attempts at definition and labeling. Yet there are stereotypes that linger...


Goth unashamedly celebrates the dark recesses of the human psyche. Put the back of your hand on your forehead, and you're there: dark sensuality, sweeping sadness, morbid fascination, forbidden love, the beauty of enduring pain, you get the picture.


Many people lead unhappy, unachieved lives. And that's sad. Goth makes depression and angst a lifestyle choice, and that's art. ;-)


1967: The hippie counter-culture saw that the world sucked and promised to change it with love.

1977: Punk culture saw that the world still sucked and raised a middle finger in defiance.

1981: Goths understood all along the importance of a good smoke.

Goth as fun
You simply can't maintain a room full of dispairing people dressed in black for very long without someone starting a chain of laughter. Once you realise you've gone over the top, there's nothing left to do but laugh. It's a self-deflating culture that delights in self-parody and in ridiculing itself. To put it plainly: it's fun.

This creates room for the growing number of non-mopey people in the scene. A wide variety of social misfits find in it a place to be themselves and to enjoy the company of other unique individuals. But what about those original stereotypes?

The notion of "goth type" is more of an internal joke than a reality. It does reveal, however, the constellation of themes that collectively define the subculture. Very few goths are as polarlised as this listing implies - most are a combination of types. Moral: don't believe in generalizations about goths, not even the ones you read here.
