Wit's end
Ww Ww„Wit's end“ в текстове на песни
Sōtaisei Riron - Sumatran Guards
Dinosaurs came and destroyed the city
I ambushed them, psychic
The ice age is coming, a long winter
Bad with mornings, I yawned
Into the Woods (OST) - Prologue: Into the Woods
I wish...
[NARRATOR]
Well, she was at her wit's end
[JACK'S MOTHER]
Crimson twilight falls softly on your cheeks
At the setting sun, bursting, our eyes stay shut
This sorrow is helpless
Keisuke Kuwata - Will the Sun Shine Tomorrow?
Oh, baby. You're maybe.
Don't you know you're so close to victory?!
That feeling that you're at your wit's end
Overcome it for one more chance.
That's it, there's evil everywhere, I've been around
Almost at my wit's end, not yet out of my mind but it won't be long
They brought me down to my knees
My train's taking a while1 at the depot
I'm leaving again, it's time
Wind's been waiting for me
Autumn, my sister, is at the doorstep2
- 1. The words "застоялся" and "заждался" mean not only "standing around for a while" and "waiting for a while" respectively, but also imply that it's taking longer than expected; they convey a more informal tone as opposed to something like "delay" or "late". Think of the phrase "can't wait to", but after already having waited for a while.
- 2. There are two instances of "на пороге", which literally means "on (a) doorstep" but can also mean "about to happen" when referring to events. Tsoy personifies wind by using the word "заждался" and autumn by describing it as a sister, giving "на пороге" a double meaning. Including the phrase twice doesn't sound awkward or weird at all in the original text, as opposed to doing so in English.
if they realised, (if they) knew the truth
But I believe that what I am doing makes sens
because sometimes it's better to be at wit's end than to go mad
Cocomelon - Nursery Rhymes - Three Little Pigs
Three little pigs went out one day
One built a house made out of hay
The other pigs thought it would fall, fall, fall
But the first didn’t care at all.
Had my train idling for far too long
Once again I am leaving. It’s time.
And the wind at the doorstep is tired of wait
And my sister autumn is at the gate
Oh I can't take another heartache
Though you say you're my friend, I'm at my wit's end
You say your love is bonafide, but that don't coincide
A+B=C doing pique
A is you and B is me in my wit's end,
so our contact is maybe C.
A castle in the sky can't defend against genuine monsters
At their wit's end, both the amazing song and the sermon break down
Right away, walls are reserved like parking spots.
But who can understand, when they have everything,
That a man at his wit's end strikes hard, fuelled by hatred,
Sometimes I doubt the path I chose
Sometimes my dreams feel all on hold
There's no doubt that this will make me strong
Because it's the hardest thing I've ever done
When I’m in fear at wit’s end
That one spirit comes to haunt me.
He belittles me and never lets go,
Squeezes me down to his cold lap.
From the outset, the walls are reserved like parking spots
But who can understand when they have a full mène?
That a man at his wit's end will fight back, fueled by hate
Wir sind Helden - Blind from hereonin
I'm at my wit's end
I don't know where we are
I'm at my wit's end
Blind from hereonin
Exhausted faces line up on Touyoko's overhead rail tracks.
Speaking for myself, I am beaten failure of weekday luckily or unluckily.
I see and image my dad's youth in my friend who I have not heard a word for a while.
I wonder if the black clouds that cover riverbed darken my future.
Sōtaisei Riron - Sumatran Security
Dinosaurs came and wrecked the city.
I ambushed with my psychic powers.
The Pleistocene epoch - a long winter…
I'm weak against mornings…. I yawned.
Vicky Moscholiou - I looked into your eyes
I looked into your eyes
and you were mine,
my abiding companion.
You left me one day
