I’ve had The Killers’ Read My Mind in the queue for a parody for some time. The theme of the song (or at least my interpretation of it) goes reasonably well with a bit of nostalgia I’ve been feeling for our Karazhan runs — even the difficult times. The parody is for my guildies who’ve always been very good at reading my mind, and thus keeping me from losing it. I’m not totally satisfied with how this one came out. It’s too pretentious, but then so is the original song.
In the middle of Shattrath
Just trying to make up my mind
You say you want to progress and
You say we’re falling behindCan you read my mind?
Can you read my mind?I never really gave up on
Upgrading from this Tier 3 gear
I’ve read the wiki page
I’ve got a little rage
We’re going to turn this raid aroundCan you read my mind?
Can you read my mind?A clusmy wipe, a stressful run
Let’s buff again, it’s all in fun?
A subtle \hug that no one reads
A couple pots and a nightmare seedOh well I don’t mind if you don’t mind
Because we don’t shine if we don’t grind
Before you stone, can you read my mind?It’s frustrating how the raid goes down
On Shade everytime
But we ride up to the front of the instance
Because we’re here to unwindCan you read my mind?
Can you read my mind?The ghostly ball, the Menagerie
The Maiden’s hall, the Library
The dinner guests, the wreath of fire
The game of chess, then up the spireOh well I don’t mind if you don’t mind
Because we don’t shine if we don’t grind
Before you stone can you tell me what you find
When you read my mindRunning up the ramps until we fall
That is a really low wall
Woman unlock the gate, we’re good to go
I won’t move in that fire againShe said I don’t mind if you don’t mind
‘Cause we don’t shine if we don’t grindPut your buff on me
Put your buff on me
Put your buff on meThe stars are blazing like earthstone diamonds
Cut out of the sun
When you read my mind
I love this Killers song
[...] Can You Read My Mind? This one didn’t is lacking for some reason. I wanted to write something kinda sappy, and at the time I really liked The Killers’ song, but it’s still a bit rough. [...]
