Underoath-Let Go









Teach me to let go

I'm overrated and insecure
I keep on running but there's never a door

Nothing's changed, I feel the same
I'm the one to blame
So hear me out
I can dance up against the flame
I've given up on what they say is safe
I've always felt a little better this way

What's the use when nothing's new?
Is there any truth?
Oh God I'm begging you
I could use a little peace these days
Any help to sleep it all away

I'm alive but blue with distance
I'm a little too far to save
I'd ask for help but I don't deserve it
Is your world better off this way?
I can carry all the blame
I can carry all the blame

I wish I could just wake me up
Then I could just save myself from you
I know it doesn't make sense to you
It's just the empty thing I have to do
Overrated, overrated (No hope)
Tie me up, so tie me up (With no rope)
So say the words that you have to say
Even though I'm not listening

I'm alive but blue with distance
I'm a little too far to save
I'd ask for help but I don't deserve it
Is your world better off this way?
I can carry all the blame
I can carry all the blame

You don't have to remind me
I know I'm a failure now
I wish you'd ignore me
'Cause I'll only bring you down
I'm the one that falls apart
I'm the one that breaks your heart
I'm living in the dark

You don't have to remind me (I fall apart)
I know I'm a failure now (I break your heart)
I wish you'd ignore me (I fall apart)
'Cause I'll only bring you down
(I break your heart, I fall apart)
'Cause I'll only bring you down
(I break your heart, I fall apart)

Pull myself out the lifeboat
Tie myself up with no rope
Go to heaven with no hope
Won't you teach me to let go?

Teach me to let go
Teach me to let go
Teach me to let go
Teach me to let go
Teach me to let go
Teach me to let go

I'm alive but blue with distance
I'm a little too far to save
I'd ask for help but I don't deserve it
Is your world better off this way?
I can carry all the blame
I can carry all the blame

Niall Horan-Flicker











When you feel your love's been taken
When you know there's something missing
In the dark, we're barely hanging on
Then you rest your head upon my chest
And you feel like there ain't nothing left
I'm afraid that what we had is gone

Then I think of the start
And it echoes a spark
And I remember the magic electricity
Then I look in my heart
There's a light in the dark
Still a flicker of hope that you first gave to me
That I wanna keep
Please don't leave
Please don't leave

When you lay there and you're sleeping
Hear the patterns of your breathing
And I tell you things you've never heard before
Asking questions to the ceiling
Never knowing what you're thinking
I'm afraid that what we had is gone

Then I think of the start
And it echoes a spark
And I remember the magic electricity
Then I look in my heart
There's a light in the dark
Still a flicker of hope that you first gave to me
That I wanna keep
Please don't leave
Please don't leave

And I want this to pass
And I hope this won't last
Last too long

Then I think of the start
And it echoes a spark
And I remember the magic electricity
Then I look in my heart
There's a light in the dark
Still a flicker of hope that you first gave to me
That I wanna keep
Please don't leave
Please don't leave

 

[rata1]

gives me something like melancholy about social and individual decline, visible to all but seems like nobody could, would change anything. just an existing factual reality or social devellopement. very nice song to drink a glass of wine and think about the ignoble nature of humanity as a collective, species or society (sorry for my english) but at the same time this song comprehends respect and solidarity bteween the people or for the people it talks about. they are a reality they are there, they are part of us, of our city, of our life, of our society. they are not invisible. and also in the background one can smell the sun, fact that seems to alleviate things. Santé!

Atreyu-Watch Me Burn

Come and watch me burn, burn, burn, oh
Watch me burn, burn, burn, oh
Watch me burn

Paint it all black
Take my life back
Buried it six feet in the past

Aim for my chest
Take deep breaths
Thought you had me beat but I still cheat death

Mix my blood with the ashes
Spark into a flame till it crashes down
You carve my name in the casket
Get the matches

If you set it all on fire
I'll be fighting till my last breath
Even when flames grow higher
I'll be fighting till I'm dead

So gimme what you got
I will never stop
Cover me in gasoline
Burn it down
I'll be fighting till my last breath
Come and watch me burn

Liar, liar, bite your tongue
Trying to tear me down with your smoke filled lungs
Watch them falling one by one
Your time has come

If you set it all on fire
I'll be fighting till my last breath
Even when flames grow higher
I'll be fighting till I'm dead

So gimme what you got
I will never stop
Cover me in gasoline
Burn it down
I'll be fighting till my last breath
Come and watch me burn

Watch me burn

If you set it all on fire
I'll be fighting till my last breath
Even when flames grow higher
I'll be fighting till I'm dead

So gimme what you got
I will never stop
Cover me in gasoline
Burn it down
I'll be fighting till my last breath

Come and watch me burn, burn, burn, oh
Watch me burn, burn, burn, oh
Come and watch me burn​

Alice In Chains - Nutshell (MTV Unplugged)
Chills every time. Beautiful darkness



We chase misprinted lies
We face the path of time
And yet I fight, and yet I fight
This battle all alone
No one to cry to
No place to call home
Ooh
Ooh-ooh
Ooh
Ooh-ooh
My gift of self is raped
My privacy is raked
And yet I find, and yet I find
Repeating in my head
If I can't be my own
I'd feel better dead
Ooh
Ooh-ooh
Ooh
Ooh-ooh

Nikki French-Total Eclipse Of The Heart

(A depressing song turned into a fun dance/pop song)










Every now and then I get a little bit lonely
And you're never coming around
(Turn around)
Every now and then I get a little bit tired
Of listening to the sound of my tears
(Turn around)
Every now and then I get a little bit nervous
That the best of all the years have gone by
(Turn around)
Every now and then I get a little bit terrified
And then I see the look in your eyes

(Turn around, bright eyes)
Every now and then I fall apart
(Turn around, bright eyes)
Every now and then I fall apart

And I need you now tonight
And I need you more than ever
And if you'll only hold me tight
We'll be holding on forever
And we'll only be making it right
'Cause we'll never be wrong together

Once upon a time I was falling in love
Now I'm only falling apart
Nothing I can do
A total eclipse of the heart

(Turn around)
Every now and then I know you'll never be
The boy you always you wanted to be
(Turn around)
Every now and then I know you'll always be
The only boy who wanted me the way that I am
(Turn around)
Every now and then I know there's no one
In the universe as magical and wonderous as you
(Turn around)
Every now and then I know there's nothing any better
There's nothing that I just wouldn't do

(Turn around, bright eyes)
Every now and then I fall apart
(Turn around, bright eyes)
Every now and then I fall apart

And I need you now tonight
And I need you more than ever
And if you'll only hold me tight
We'll be holding on forever
And we'll only be making it right
'Cause we'll never be wrong together

We can take it to the end of the line
Your love is like a shadow on me all of the time
I don't know what to do and I'm always in the dark
We're living in a powder keg and giving off sparks
I really need you tonight
Forever's gonna start tonight
Forever's gonna start tonight

Once upon a time I was falling in love
Now I'm only falling apart
Nothing I can do
A total eclipse of the heart
Once upon a time there was light in my life
But now there's only love in the dark
Nothing I can say
A total eclipse of the heart

Nothing I can do
A total eclipse of the heart
Nothing I can do
A total eclipse of the heart
Nothing I can do
A total eclipse of the heart
Nothing I can do
A total eclipse of the heart

Kim Carnes-Bette Davis Eyes










Her hair is Harlow gold
Her lips, a sweet surprise
Her hands are never cold
She's got Bette Davis eyes

She'll turn the music on you
You won't have to think twice
She's pure as New York snow
She got Bette Davis eyes

And she'll tease you
She'll unease you
All the better just to please you
She's precocious
And she knows just what it takes to make a pro blush
She got Greta Garbo stand-off sighs
She's got Bette Davis eyes

She'll let you take her home
It whets her appetite
She'll lay you on a throne
She got Bette Davis eyes

She'll take a tumble on you
Roll you like you were dice
Until you come up blue
She's got Bette Davis eyes

She'll expose you
When she snows you
Off your feet with the crumbs she throws you
She's ferocious
And she knows just what it takes to make a pro blush
All the boys think she's a spy
She's got Bette Davis eyes

And she'll tease you
She'll unease you
All the better just to please you
She's precocious
And she knows just what it takes to make a pro blush
All the boys think she's a spy
She's got Bette Davis eyes

She'll tease you
She'll unease you
Just to please you
She's got Bette Davis eyes
She'll expose you
When she snows you
'Cause she knows you
She's got Bette Davis eyes

Currents-Remember Me









I can sense it, I've convinced myself that the world I love is gone
The blood is on the walls, the damage has been done
We carry the weight of selfless scars we silently crave
Upon a pedestal, we place our pain

One quandary for the counsel, too humble to brag
Cut the venom out, but the snake still buries its fangs
So when you take a look deep inside yourself, it swells and it stings
Like a chemical reaction burning your brain
In lies the weight of our regrets
Sharpen the knives that cut through our deepest strings of hate
Show me the love you've always wanted

All the love is gone, driven apart by what we all have seen
We're falling over ourselves
How do we mourn what's lost, what never will be?
Remember me, remember me as you loved me

Carry the weight of selfless scars we silently crave
Show me your hands and touch the stars with me
We're never just on one path, one road to travel, it seems
Our story's infinite, and we've just been pulling at the strings
And now there never will be

We have exercised the will of parasites
Witness the birth of innocence and our call to grow

All the love is gone, driven apart by what we all have seen
We're falling over ourselves
How do we mourn what's lost, what never will be?
Remember me, remember me as you loved me

Carry the weight of selfless scars we silently crave
Show me your hands and touch the stars with me
Falling walls like mountains form where I stand
You are my family, and I will not let hate be my last sin

Bananarama-Venus










Goddess on the mountain top
Burning like a silver flame
The summit of beauty and love
And Venus was her name

She's got it
Yeah, baby, she's got it
I'm your Venus, I'm your fire
And your desire
Well, I'm your Venus, I'm your fire

Her weapons were her crystal eyes
Making every man a man
Black as the dark night, she was
Got what no one else had

I like this song because it gives me a feeling of freedom and nature
I feel like a bird while im listening to it
Then once its over I realise again that I am inescapably trapped in this society
And so I want death to come rescue and free me

Amity Affliction-I See Dead People








I hear their voices in my head
I feel their sorrow in my chest
I've seen them pushed to the fucking edge
I see the ghosts of my friends
Yeah
I see the ghosts of my friends

If they can't make it out alive
Maybe I too am meant to die
I am waiting for Hell to take my soul
I am death, I am utter failure
And I can't make it out of here
Is this the end of everything?
I am, I am the noose, I am the knot
I am hate, I am your depression

I hear their voices in my head
I see the ghosts of my friends, oh

Yeah
I see the ghosts of my friends

They didn't make it out alive
And I'm just here waiting to die
I am the coward standing on the edge
Throw me out, I am utter failure
And I can't make it out of here
Is this the end of everything?
I am, I am the noose, I am the knot
I am hate, I am your depression

Dear God that don't exist
Fly me over oceans where my lover lives
Dear God that don't exist
Fly me over oceans where my lover lives
Dear God that don't exist
Fly me over oceans where my lover lives
Dear God that don't exist
I am death

Yeah
I am death
Dear God who don't exist
Fly me over oceans where my lover lives
Dear God who don't exist

I hear their voices in my head
I feel their sorrow in my chest
I've seen them pushed to the fucking edge

Fly me over oceans where my lover lives
Dear God that don't exist
Fly me over oceans where my lover lives

Trudging slowly over wet sand
Back to the bench where your clothes were stolen
This is the coastal town
That they forgot to close down
Armageddon, come Armageddon
Come, Armageddon, come
Everyday is like Sunday
Everyday is silent and grey
Hide on the promenade, etch a postcard
"How I dearly wish I was not here"
In the seaside town
That they forgot to bomb
Come, come, come, nuclear bomb
Everyday is like Sunday
Everyday is silent and grey
Trudging back over pebbles and sand
And a strange dust lands on your hands
And on your face
On your face
On your face
On your face
Everyday is like Sunday
"Win yourself a cheap tray"
Share some greased tea with me
Everyday is silent and grey

Remembering Layne and Kurt today, both who left us on April 5th but continue to comfort so many with their music

Mad Season - Wake Up (Live at the Moore 1995)


Nirvana - Come As You Are (Live & Loud MTV 1993)

 

[sleepsoon]

the song's title means "the sun rises".

And a day after the storm
When you least expect it, the sun rises

this is part of the chorus. the song gives me hope sometimes.

I had to put down my cat, Dexter (feline leukemia) and then a rescued "bait" dog I named Finn....only 9 days apart from each other. I did a lot of digging then. And I still have nightmares/guilt/trauma from all of it. I lost my job because I cried too much and corporate fuckwads don't like it when you need 5 minutes alone every hour or 3. I mean....I went in to work hours after I'd dug the grave for a 110 lb dog and then buried him.

This song makes me feel like I'm comforting them all over again. I can hear Dexter's purr and smell Finn's breath when I listen to it.

Meet me at the house on the top of the hill
I've got two important people that I'm ready to kill
Oh, I'll just flunk or fail, so give me something better to do
Well, I'll just flunk or fail, so give me something better to do

Santa's on the roof, with his presents and sack
He's got one hand with a blade and the other's an axe
Oh, I'll just flunk or fail. so give me something better to do
Well, I'll just flunk or fail, so give me something better to do

Then I hear God's call
And all my hate is gone
I hear Him calling me back home

Oh, I hear God's call
And now my hate is gone
I heard Him calling me back home

Calling me back home
Calling me back home
Calling me back home
Calling me back home

Calling me back home
Calling me back home
Calling me back home
Calling me back home

God is calling me back home
He's calling me back home
He's calling me back home
He's calling me back home

He's calling me back home
He's calling me back home
He's calling me back home
He's calling me back home
He's calling me back home
He's calling me back home

Eric Clapton-Tears In Heaven
Kinda thinking about everyone here and members we lost










Would you know my name?
If I saw you in heaven
Would it be the same?
If I saw you in heaven

I must be strong
And carry on
'Cause I know I don't belong
Here in heaven

Would you hold my hand?
If I saw you in heaven
Would you help me stand?
If I saw you in heaven

I'll find my way
Through night and day
'Cause I know I just can't stay
Here in heaven

Time can bring you down
Time can bend your knees
Time can break your heart
Have you begging please
Begging please

Beyond the door
There's peace, I'm sure
And I know there'll be no more
Tears in heaven

Would you know my name?
If I saw you in heaven
Would you be the same?
If I saw you in heaven

I must be strong
And carry on
'Cause I know I don't belong
Here in heaven
