We're all young and naive still
We require certain skill
The motive changes like the wind
Hard to control when it begins

The bittersweet between my teeth
Trying to find the in-between
Fall back in love eventually
Yeah yeah yeah yeah

Can't help myself but count the flaws
Claw my way out through these walls
One temporary escape
Feel it start to permeate

We lie beneath the stars at night
Our hands gripping each other tight
You keep my secrets hope to die
Promises, swear them to the sky

The bittersweet between my teeth
Trying to find the in-between
Fall back in love eventually
Yeah yeah yeah yeah

As it withers
Brittle it shakes
Can you whisper
As it crumbles and breaks
As you shiver
Count up all your mistakes
Pair of forgivers
Let go before it's too late
Can you whisper
Can you whisper
Can you whisper
Can you whisper

The bittersweet between my teeth
Trying to find the in-between
Fall back in love eventually
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
The bittersweet between my teeth
Trying to find the in-between
Fall back in love eventually
Yeah yeah yeah yeah

I keep getting dark poetry:

The eldritch chains and leather,
The haunting rites of blood,
Instruments of random murder.

Death church.
Sodomy and lust.
Sleepless, no love lost,
Set me free.

Blowing free,
Naked in the rain.
The hanged man,
The pyrrhic victory.
Creepy green light.

Totentanz, the dance of death.
I'm alive - sacrificed.
I'm going home,
Die with me.

Pain.
Burnt.
I'm broken.
Mother, do you love me?

Nightmare lollipop.
Bittersweet.
Red, white and blue.
Witches' brew.

Ruin and misery,
Becoming cold,
Shadows on the horizon,
Death certificate.

Running blood.
I died for you.
Death comes to the Unicorn Prince.
Betrayal. Gloom.

Hero of the day,
Dragged down,
Slaughtered.
Where the slime live,
Where dragons rule.

Well usually I'd have saved it, but my god I couldn't help it. It hit me right in the gut, just gorgeous

For once it's nice that someone took cameraphone footage at a concert. Always liked him and it's a sad day for his passing.

All the people I grew up watching are dying off - getting old is a bittersweet thing.

Fly, fly little wing
Fly beyond imagining
The softest cloud, the whitest dove
Upon the wind of heaven’s love
Past the planets and the stars
Leave this lonely world of ours
Escape the sorrow and the pain
And fly again.
Fly, fly precious one
Your endless journey has begun
Take your gentle happiness
Far too beautiful for this
Cross over to the other shore
There is peace forevermore
But hold this memory bittersweet
Until we meet
Fly, fly do not fear
Don’t waste a breath, don’t shed a tear
Your heart is pure, your soul is free
Be on your way, don’t wait for me
Above the universe you’ll climb
On beyond the hands of time
The moon will rise, the sun will set
But I won’t forget.
Fly, fly little wing
Fly where only angels sing
Fly away, the time is right
Go now, find the light.(unknown)

Every time I see a Wes Anderson movie trailer - Tenenbaums, Zissou, Rushmore, Fox, Darjeeling, and this one - I think, "That looks like a movie I'd really enjoy," yet I've never actually managed to see a single one of them.
I'd plan a Wes movie night, but I suspect that characteristic flavor might get a little stale by the end of a binge.


Do Rushmore at least. Great flick, very bittersweet and a lot of fun... to me it tastes a bit "Harold and Maude"-ish.

I totally agree, watching people get this happy always cheers me up. But it's bittersweet cuz you know the flood of internet hate and bullying that will descend on this guy is gonna be brutal.

My best friend has MS. I have a form of Parkinsons. I have had cancer and survived.
I am also studying bioethics at Monash.
Judging by your overly defensive nature even before any retorts you are clearly not at ease with the ethical decisions you have made. I won't lecture you. Rather I will just say that you value certain things above others that have limited ethical grounding.


Then there's a pretty good chance that at some point you have taken something that was first tested on animals. While I find the video bittersweet because of what it represents, we all benefit from the involuntary sacrifices these animals are forced to make. It's terribly sad but if we want to continue to benefit from medical discoveries, all we can do is treat them as best as possible and give them the best quality of life before, during and after their terrible but crucial service.

I went to see her in a venue about the same size. She could barely stand up she was so drunk, but her voice utterly betrayed that. Seeing her healthy and functioning is so bittersweet

I think this is the very definition of bittersweet. Awesome sift.

I think this comment...

I'm with you; that was great. Title needs more zombie,me thinks


Somewhat explains this comment...

>> ^bleedingsnowman:

The low votes for this video makes me think videosift's effectiveness as a quality-hunting tool is waning.



This was a great sift, enjoyed the bittersweet justice at the end

Bittersweet. Can't help but think of the folks whos fanily don't make it back.
