Emilie Autumn, What if

Here the songtext:
What If

Here you sit in your high-backed chair
Wonder how the view is from there
I wouldn't know 'cause I like to sit
Upon the floor, yeah upon the floor
If you like we could play a game
Let's pretend that we are the same
But you will have to look much closer
Than you do, closer than you do
And I'm far too tired to stay here anymore
And I don't care what you think anyway
'Cause I think you were wrong about me
Yeah what if you were, what if you were
And what if I'm a snowstorm burning
What if I'm a world unturning
What if I'm an ocean, far too shallow, much too deep
What if I'm the kindest demon
Something you may not believe in
What if I'm a siren singing gentlemen to sleep

I know you've got it figured out
Tell me what I am all about
And I just might learn a thing or two
Hundred about you, maybe about you
I'm the end of your telescope
I don't change just to suit your vision
'Cause I am bound by a fraying rope
Around my hands, tied around my hands
And you close your eyes when I say I'm breaking free
And put your hands over both your ears
Because you cannot stand to believe I'm not
The perfect girl you thought
Well what have I got to lose
And what if I'm a weeping willow
Laughing tears upon my pillow
What if I'm a socialite who wants to be alone
What if I'm a toothless leopard
What if I'm a sheepless shepherd
What if I'm an angel without wings to take me home

You don't know me
Never will, never will
I'm outside your picture frame
And the glass is breaking now
You can't see me
Never will, never will
If you're never gonna see
What if I'm a crowded desert
Too much pain with little pleasure
What if I'm the nicest place you never want to go
What if I don't know who I am
Will that keep us both from trying
To find out and when you have
Be sure to let me know
What if I'm a snowstorm burning
What if I'm a world unturning
What if I'm an ocean, far too shallow, much too deep
What if I'm the kindest demon
Something you may not believe in
What if I'm a siren singing gentlemen to sleep
Sleep...
Sleep...

@letyourangerout i ended up at What if, aswell ^^ and i simply love it!

@unrealityproduction No, but very high in the list for sure. I agree with everything you've said, though. She's amazing and truly artistic, unlike that pop tart Gaga. The weirdest thing about Gaga is the cult of adoration the media and her obsessive fans have built around her--the person herself is actually quite plain once you strip away the manufactured bits.

Autumn, by contrast, holds up all on her own, and while some of her fans might be stans, she DOES have artistic merit in her own right.

Emilie Autumn is literally, quite possibly the most talented human being in the world. I'm not just saying that because I'm a fan. This song doesn't show the extent of that talent (it's still my favorite...and so are a ton of others by her), but it's beautiful beyond compare, but I just had to say it, because it's true. People say Lady Gaga is weird and I laugh to myself becuase Emilie Autumn makes her look like a poser

[GenesisOrtizGarcia]

Oh my god, this is so beautiful. I love her. I almost cry.

[bustinmelva]

alas she is an angel without wings to take her home and truly a siren sending gentlemen to sleep, a beautiful song, she makes me weep.

[isthestoryofagirl]

when i'm upset, this song calms me down, more than any other song.

[Belsan90]

I've been facing some hard times lately. Yesterday, this song found me and made me cry, but it also gave me strength to carry on. Thank you, Emilie.

[RepoMadam]

I think this is the most beautiful song I've ever heard.
