Dustin Kensrue- I Knew You Before
January 10th, 2010 | by magazines |
You were once a sweet little girl
so innocent and pure
Your eyes were open and sure
anyone could look right in
I followed closely your gaze
you looked up towards the sky
But I watched your face drift away
other things had caught your eye
The magazines and media supplied you with their plastic protocol
And maybe music television really is the devil after all
But all I can say is I knew you before
You were beautiful back then
before you grew up, before you gave in
You dream of sharing your heart
Instead you share your bed
And your heart beats empty and cold
With all the tears that you have shed
You dream of baring your soul
Instead you bare more skin
And you wear dark glasses to keep
Anyone from looking in
The magazines and media supplied you with their plastic protocol
Oh, and maybe music television really is the devil after all
But all I can say is I knew you before
You were beautiful back then
Before you grew up, before you gave in
And all you want is to hear the words:
“Dear baby I love you”
So you hike your skirt higher still
‘Till there eyes are all on you
You drive in fast foreign cars
The color of your sin
And you tint your windows to keep
Anyone from looking in
Oh, and all I can say is I knew you before
You were beautiful back then
Before you grew up, before you gave in
And all I can say is I knew you before
You were beautiful back then
You could be beautiful again…

I think this song is pretty great… explaining how someone use to be so perfect in his eyes, then started listening to everyone else. Now he wishes the person would go back to “normal”.
and as far as “just talking” you must hang out with a bunch of theatre kids, ive never heard anyone speak to me like this.

The parts with “sexual” references like “instead you bare more skin” and - as far as I remember - the line comparing MTV to the devil…

Yeah, I agree it is pretty lame. Censorship is actually the devil after all.

Indeed, personally i like the chords he uses in this song more than Tribute. I like the bassline he’s using also. A simple song to play. And i’ve sang and played it a couple of times and it really gets to people. People seem to like simple, because it’s easy to listen to.

Correct. So really it’s nothing like the intro to tribute except for the fact that they both involve hammering onto the second fret from an open string =P
