Wanna be alone
Wanna be surrounded
Wanna be transient
Wanna be grounded
But all the dissonance disappears from me
When you drape an arm across my knee
Intentionally lazily
If they say
Who cares if one more light goes out?
In a sky of a million stars
It flickers, flickers
Who cares when someone's time runs out?
If a moment is all we are
We're quicker, quicker
Who cares if one more light goes out?
Well I do
If the sky that we look uponHere's the link
Should tumble and fall
Or the mountain should crumble to the sea
I won't cry, I won't cry
No, I won't shed a tear
Just as long as you stand
Stand by me

One More Light - Linkin Park
All of the songs by Linkin Park mean so much more on an emotional level in light of Thursday's event. It only just hit me today :(
Before we fly we have to fall
I don't want to hold you
I don't want to see you
Even birth can bear disgrace
I don't want to hold you
I don't want to see you
Or even the smile upon your face
Karmin - Didn't Know YouSo true, I love it.
It's short but I also think it's beautiful. Sometimes you have to take risks without knowing what will happen, and sometimes you feel lost or like nothing's going how you wanted, but it can be the catalyst for something unexpected or beautiful that couldn't have happened otherwise.
Demons & Wizards -- Down Where I AmHoly shiiiiiiit. Music that's confronting is music done right. Wow.
This song is mostly sung in a soft, ballad-like manner. It's about a subject not normally sung about -- Down's syndrome. Specifically, a parent's reaction upon seeing their newborn has Down's syndrome. This particular section of the song is about the parent both rejecting and blaming the child. It's so much worse how it describes that the child is smiling too.
By themselves, the lyrics aren't overly powerful. However, when you listen to the song, it just makes you feel so so sad. It's a very well-crafted ballad, and I implore everyone here to try it.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3kaUvGSLMewOne of my favourite artists growing up. I hadn't listened to them in years, but it was a big part of my childhood -- definitely hit hard. I'm sure their music helped many teenagers through crappy times. Despite the memes making fun of that era of music, they really captured the angst a lot of teens were feeling -- both now and back then.

Edit: LP was the one band that I always went back to when I got tired of new music that came out. Unfortunately, I never got to see them live (had the chance 7 years ago but was 'too young' :( )
Holy shiiiiiiit. Music that's confronting is music done right. Wow.Most definitely. Aargh, now I wish I could share more, but I must wait another 10,057 minutes. Once you get past the 'surface' metal bands (like, same guitars, crap bass, heavy drums, crappy screaming, no cleans/growls) that everyone knows into some of the subgenres, you can find some fantastic music, some of which deal with some pretty heavy issues or make you feel something heavy. Then when you get metal bands mixing with ballads, you get stuff like this. I'll definitely be back in a week to share some more.
I want to live,
And I want you to live,
Happy and free.
But I don't know how,
To separate the now,
From what used to be.

I have written you down
Now you will live forever
And all the world will read you
And you will live forever
In eyes not yet created
On tongues that are not born
I have written you down
Now you will live forever

To elaborate:(http://i.imgur.com/GiYdIzP.jpg)
This was really my first (and hopefully only) break-up song. My first girlfriend and I got together in mid 2010 (Year 10), and broke up in mid 2012 (Year 12).
I initiated it, really, because I was struggling a fair bit at the time. I thought the relationship was contributing considerably. So we broke up, it was hard, and I thought I made a mistake. I didn't feel any better - in fact, I felt very much worse - and I realised that it probably wasn't the relationship that was making me feel poor.
And I don't think it was, even still.
After the break-up, there was a period of really good friendship (basically the rest of Year 12), and we flirted with getting together again. Pretty sure I was keener on it than she was, which was pretty fucked, and definitely not fair on her in the slightest.
Anyway, these lyrics speak to me due to the above. I wanted nothing more than for her to be happy, but it was hard at times knowing that we were no longer in a relationship. And that I'd essentially fucked it.
These are from the song Bapa, by Dr G. Yunupingu*. He passed away this week at the age of 46. In spite of his enormous fame worldwide (he'd been on the cover of Rolling Stone, had performed for Barrack Obama and the Queen twice and also sang on stage with Sting after the Paris terrorist attacks) he died a death all too familiar to indigenous Australians. As a child, he was afflicted with hepatitis B and this week eventually passed away due to renal failure secondary to diabetes. By our own community's standards, dying at the age of 46 of kidney disease due to diabetes is extremely rare; however, it is not at all uncommon in Indigenous communities, which already have a much higher rate of diabetes.
These lyrics are really important to me, because it was because of him that I begun to realise just how much cultural heritage this country has. He sings in yolŋu matha, which is an indigenous language with nearly 5000 speakers, many of them first language only. These communities, and their cultures, are just about as remote from our own down here in Melbourne as anywhere else in the world. That he was able to bring his culture to the rest of the world was an enormous achievement and that so few Australians are even aware that these communities exist, let alone having any idea about what languages they speak etc, is a sad indictment on our knowledge of our own country.
*I've refrained from using his full name because, in Indigenous culture, it is deeply offensive to do so after someone has passed away. This is why there are sometimes warnings before films to say that a show may depict images of indigenous people who have died. It's also why you won't have heard his music played and will have seen his face blurred if you managed to catch a news item about his death.
I think I just found my new spotify playlist right here :)Really important posts - thank you both!
"Life can get you down so I just numb the way it feels
I drown it with a drink and out-of-date prescription pills
And all the ones that love me they just left me on the shelf
No farewell
So before I save someone else, I've got to save myself
And before I blame someone else, I've got to save myself
And before I love someone else, I've got to love myself"

These lyrics are a gentle reminder that sometime it's okay to put yourself first, that it's okay to have some 'me time'. Something which is often more than not forgotten during the mad rush of Year 12 or VCE in general...
Can't wait to check back in 7 days to see what new song recommendations are!
This has definitely become my favourite thread on the music board. The only issue now is trying to decide what song to pick...
Okay, it's been a week. I listen to a lot of music, and the entire time, I've been trying to think of what lyrics are the best. Some of them told stories, and some of them dealt with issues such as alcoholism and childhood abandonment -- heavy stuff. However, I recently listened to one song, which is absolutely perfect. Not only are the lyrics meaningful, but the song itself is quite important. However, for this, we're going to need some context.
I've only ever been in one relationship. Now, before we dated, we were pretty much best friends. This friendship was originally founded after we discovered we shared a love of folk metal (and other metal subgenres not overly popular in Australia), so as you can imagine, we listened to a lot of music together (this is important for later). Now, if we fast forward to the start of 2017 (four years later), we had just broken up. Not only did I lose my girlfriend, but I lost my best friend, and frankly I lost her parents too (I was very close with both of them), so I was understandably devastated. However, I couldn't find solace in my music anymore -- every metal band I listened to we had spent hours listening to together, discussing, dancing together to, or seeing live. So, no more metal for me.
Perhaps a few weeks later, I turn on the radio, and I hear 'How To Save A Life' -- The Fray. Now, the lyrics that really stuck with me:
I know the story the song is based upon. However, I also know that The Fray really enjoy different interpretations of their own song, so I hope mine isn't too silly. Essentially, when I listened to this song, it's from her point of view.
Where did I go wrong? I lost a friend -- Simple enough. She's trying to pinpoint why everything went to shit. After all, at the very base level, I was her best friend.
Somewhere along in the bitterness -- This is discovering the reason. All the factors for the split lead back to my depression (which I was suffering from for the majority of our time together). Bitterness=depression.
And I would have stayed up with you all night -- This is the part of her that always said she would have done anything to help me.
Had I known how to save a life -- However, she only could have helped me if she knew what to do, and I wasn't very cooperative with this. She couldn't do anything because there was nothing to do.
This song really gave me a new perspective on the whole situation. I finally saw how hard it was for her -- not just the breakup, but dating a depressed person who refused help. After this, a lot of the resentment I was holding was quelled, which is obviously fantastic. It holds a long of meaning to me, and I wished to share. A bit sappy, a bit emotional, but I think this really shows how important music can be.
Also, please ignore that this is at 2am and a bit rambly -- I've never been the most eloquent of people, especially when I can't sleep. I should also note that I managed to separate my feelings from the music I used to love, so I do indeed listen to it again.
:)
And it's gone now, you wouldn't even know it was there
But you'd get lost tryna navigate the moments we've shared
Like when we held each other's hands and we said goodbye
Tears streaming out our eyes like somebody had died
Now it's the day after your birthday and it's pouring outside
And I'm catching arrow tips with my fingers down the phone line

So you want to be in love like the movies.
But in the movies, they're not in love at all.
And with a twinkle in their eyes,
They're just saying their lines.
So we can't be in love like the movies.
Now in the movies, they make it look so perfect.
And in the background, they're always playing the right song.
And in the ending, there's always a resolution.
But real life is more than just two hours long.
Full song here.Loooooooooove those lyrics and that interpretation. Great lines.
Potentially stretching it a little - will try to be more selective in the future. But I think these lines really summarise the song nicely.
I like it a lot. Haven't listened to it in ages (will do now), but it came to mind this week when thinking of this thread.
The way I interpret this, it's a reflection of modern society. In movies, on Instagram, in magazines - what we see of people's lives is, selectively, the best portion. We see people's triumphs, but we don't see their struggles, and so on. So, you want to be in love like the movies - you pine for what you see. But in the movies, they're not in love at all - not everything is as it seems.
Love is difficult. Love isn't straightforward.
@Brenden (not going to quote as it's pretty big)Genuinely really appreciate this interpretation. Those lines do my head in. Like, what is catching arrow tips? Why after her birthday?
They're some damn good lyrics; I had a read and a listen. It's certainly applicable to myself (as I'm sure it is to a lot of people).
Just my interpretation: the birthday would obviously remind him of her. He can't talk to her on her birthday -- she'd be busy, and why would you possibly provide something negative on her birthday? But the day after, now that's fair game, and it seems like he can't get that out of his head.
Thanks for sharing -- definitely powerful.
Genuinely really appreciate this interpretation. Those lines do my head in. Like, what is catching arrow tips? Why after her birthday?Maybe a bit of a stretch, but don't a fair few communication apps use arrow heads (image below) to show a message has been seen? It would relate to 'down the phone line''
To love another person is to see the face of God...

We fall apart, and we end up solo
You’d best beware!

Oh friends and followers
You’ve got it wrong, you’re just popular
the popularity you have online isn't 'real popularity'.Well, I'm fucked.
Go out, create thunder, and stand right underThis song is about a kid called Caleb (named after his father), and his two abusive parents. His father dies (buried under the apple tree), but his mother remains. She doesn't try to be so horrible to him, but she can't help it, as the child reminds her of the father.
That old apple tree
Where dead snakes let him feed
It's everyone's favourite time of the week!I just know whatever lyrics you bring out are going to floor me.
Sonata Arctica -- Caleb This song is about a kid called Caleb (named after his father), and his two abusive parents. His father dies (buried under the apple tree), but his mother remains. She doesn't try to be so horrible to him, but she can't help it, as the child reminds her of the father.
I believe this part is about no matter what achievements the child makes (creating thunder), he will forever be overshadowed by his father's cruelty (hence under the apple tree).
The name of the song is just a coincidence, haha.
And we'll keep on through the shit storm
Until the metaphors are literal
Forced screams are guttural
And we'll keep on through the shit storm
Until the metaphors, until the metaphors
When I said this is all I had I meant it
But did you see the flares in the sky?
Were you blinded by the light?
Did you feel the smoke in your eyes?
Did you, did you?
Did you see the sparks filled with hope?
You are not alone
'Cause someone's out there, sending out flares
Someone's out there, sending out flares
You were a friend to me
When my wheels were off the track
And though you say there is no need
I intend to pay you back
When my mind was turning loose
And all my thoughts were turning black
You shined a light on me
And I intend to pay you back
I'll keep Nick happy by quoting some Avett Brothers lyrics ;) But nah, the full lyrics (more than music) of True Sadness have lived with me since the first time I heard it.This is absolutely amazing.
This speaks my gratitude for the hugeness of the support I've been given over the last couple years. I am in great emotional debt to so many people.
Full song here.
If you're loved by someone, you're never rejected;
Decide what to be, and go be it.
Head Full of Doubt/Road Full of Promise - The Avett BrothersGreat lyrics. This is both the best and the worst thread on ATAR Notes.
EDIT: FUCK, so many more I want to share right now. Seven days. Seven days.
The sky is falling on meFor some context, this album is set in the Gallic Wars. This song is about a Helvetian woman who, having lost everything, acuses one of her gods (Epona) of forsaking her. The lyrics show her begging for help against the Romans. You really need to hear the vocalist sing the lines to really appreciate the emotion (it's been timestamped in the link).

Right now I'm feeling like I can't lose"Right now" some important qualifying words, here. The final two lines of this stanza hit me in the face the first time I heard them and I've thought about them often since, they just resonate so much. I feel like there can be two Brenden's sometimes and it's easy to feel dishonest and frustrated.
I been trying to make a cheque like 1-2
But every second day I'm in a dark mood
So everything I say when I feel good is like a half truth
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
Have had this post in my drafts since last weekYaaaaaaaaas Coldplay

This song, along with a few others, really lightened up my mood when I needed it :)
Three more days. >:(Right?? It's actually super frustrating. I'm low-key bitter that I made this thread weekly.
Lyrics for every week: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AaZGHcFTTHw
Come down love
Berlin in the cold
All that fighting, all that snow
Sober nights
And Byron on my mind
Tell me I'm not going home
And I'll stop waiting by the phone
Bedroom floor
And silence in my blood
Sorry love I'm running home
I'm a child of sun and the stars I love
Sad hopes I'd hidden under
Tangled inside of me
You spoke like broken thunder
Deep into the center of me
I couldn't say what I was thinking
My heart shrinking
Two sad sparks blinking in the sun
Wait one minute
I had to listen for it
(Warning)This song is about Cassandra, a character in Greek mythology. She was given the gift of prophecy by Apollo, but then subsequently cursed so nobody would ever believe her visions, the most notable of which was the Trojan War. This particular excerpt is Cassandra trying to warn her father, King Priam, of the Trojan Horse (described as 'she'). No matter how hard she tries, nobody will believe her of the dangers to come.
Fear the heat of passion, father king
(Don't let him in)
(Don't let her in)
Desire, lust, obsession
Death they'll bring
(We can't get out)
(Once they are in)
She's like the sunrise
Outshines the moon at night
Precious like starlight
She will bring in a murderous price
England is my city
This song just makes me laugh so much because the lyrics are so silly and its so bad but the beat is good HAHAHArip (also first saw this because I saw a meme about england being a city)
I honestly can't believe its got 100 million views now,
anyway here is the only lyric in the song that matters
love it
Jake Paul - It's Everyday Bro
How am I? I feel good, I feel alright
I can't complain, okay I lied, I could look maybe if I tried
Feel like I could just lie down here on the street and I'd be content
I feel tired now but I feel wired later on in my bed
...
I feel alright! I'm feeling better than before
If this talk was any smaller it won't fit me anymore
Yeah I feel fine, got everything I didn't want
I got paid, I got my fucking name in slightly bigger font
I feel I blinked and thirty years just came and went
Shit when they asked me what I'd like to be I shoulda said content
Actually so good, Brenden.It's a fucking good song, right?
Sticks and stones they may break these bones
But then I'll be ready, are you ready?
It's the start of us, waking up, come on
Are you ready? I'll be ready
I don't want control, I want to let go
Are you ready? I'll be ready
Cause now it's time to let them know
We are ready
Just stop your crying
It's a sign of the times
Welcome to the final show
Hope you're wearing your best clothes
You can't bribe the door on your way to the sky
You look pretty good down here
But you ain't really good
And I'll use you as a warning sign
That if you talk enough sense, then you'll lose your mind
And I'll use you as focal point
So I don’t lose sight of what I want
And I've moved further than I thought I could
But I miss you more than I thought I would
Been a while since I've posted here but these are my lyrics for the week;❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Green Day: "Boulevard Of Broken Dreams"
"I'm walking down the line
That divides me somewhere in my mind
On the border line
Of the edge and where I walk alone
Read between the lines
Of what's stuffed up and everything's alright
Check my vital signs
To know I'm still alive and I walk alone"
A bit of Throwback Thursday but also at the same time, a gentle reminder that in the last few weeks of Term 3, that there is a light at the end of tunnel (or so they say). That while it may feel that you walk alone on this journey, it's actually a team effort. We're almost there guys...only a few more weeks to go!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Soa3gO7tL-c
Into the orchard I walk, peering way past the gateI believe this song is about dying.
Wilted scenes for us who couldn't wait
Drained by the coldest caress, stalking shadows ahead
Halo of death, all I see is departure
Mourner's lament, but it's me who's the martyr
I took a walk around the world
To ease my troubled mind
I left my body lying somewhere
In the sands of time
But I watched the world float
To the dark side of the moon
I’ve seen it all a thousand times
Falling down I'm still alive, am I? Am I?
So hard to breathe when the water’s high
No need to swim I'll learn to fly, so high, so high
You find the truth in a child’s eyes
When the only limit is the sky
Living proof I see myself in you
'Cause you were just a small bump unborn for four months then torn from life
Maybe you were needed up there but we're still unaware as why.
Do you mind if you and I, we share the sky?
Do you mind if you and I, we share the sky?
Do you mind if you and I, we share the sky?
Do you mind if you and I, we share the sky?
Made my day when the letter came
Thank you very much for bearing my name
Write another letter to me, I'll be doing the same
Thank Jamshed Defani, I'm an Afghani being detained
21, I come from a town called Shashishma
3 hours from Kabul in a pick-up
I do not know the escape(?), I do not know the escape(?)
I do not know about my family's fate
I like books and soccer and chess and
I'm in charge of the sports equipment
Tell me that you're gonna marry your boyfriend
I pray for both of you and offer you my congratulations
Thanks so much for still remembering me
You can let me dream, that's what every letter means
Travelled alone across land and sea,
three years since I've seen my family
Also, @Brenden. You should check out 'Someone You'd Admire' by Fleet Foxes. The lyrics really play to the dualism interest you seem to have in music :) [/url]You've exposed me, and thus, this week, there is no dualism. (Also........ GOOD LYRICS IN SOMEONE YOU'D ADMIRE I LIKE DUALISM)
Boy, oh boy, oh boy.
There's no returning to the spoils once you've spoiled the thought of them.
'Cause you were just a small bump unborn for four months then torn from lifeI smashed this song so much when it came out, purely for those lyrics. <3
Maybe you were needed up there but we're still unaware as why.
@Brenden -- Absolutely incredible song. I loved the concept. I don't listen to rap, so not the best effort on my part haha, but I tried to get the lyrics down. The bits in maroon are the parts I don't know, so I just wrote the closest thing to what I heard, even if it doesn't make sense. However, I'll probably come back tomorrow and see if I can get it after another listen.I will go over this as well - I'll add it to Rap Genius when we get a good set!!My attempt at the lyricsI see sky

I'm tired of the bad news, I don't wanna read it
Gave us a TV but I don't wanna watch it
Maybe I can die here, is anyone watching?
Send another twenty home, Australia don't want them
I receive your last letter at the perfect time
I am not radical, I know what's right
Made me happy when they had me on a hunger strike
Thanks for the CDs, I like them both
More than anything, Polly, I like your words
Languages don't matter
Just love it and learn
Love it and learn
And you when they see I arrive to conduct their interviews
And that's how Mant, Mary, and Leigh
And now I'm hopeful for what lies ahead
My best wishes, much much love, your friend Jamshed

Baby, you're almost home now
Please don't quit now
You're almost home to me
Svikin orð, grjót í kjafti þér,I don't think this one needs much explanation. Lies and broken promises from people you once trusted leave wounds.
rista dýpra en nokkur sár.
Brotin bönd aldrei verða söm.
Lygar eins og nöðrubit
Broken words, shards in your mouth,
Cut deeper than any wound.
Broken vows will never be the same.
Lies like the viper´s bite.

Logic feat. Alessia Cara & Khalid: "1-800-273-8255"
We can be heroes everywhere we go
We can have all that we ever want
Swinging like Ali, knocking out bodies
Standing on top like a champion
Keep your silver, give me that gold
You'll remember when I say
We can be heroes everywhere we go
Keeping us down is impossible
'Cause we're unstoppable
We had been together since forever when the tipping point came
Dam broke, that's when everything changed
We had been through thick and thin but bigger things lurked
Have you ever envisioned your city in flames?
I don't really care if you cry
On the real you should've never lied
Should've saw the way she looked me in my eyes (3)
She said baby I am not afraid to, die
Push me to the edge
All my friends are dead (6)
They'll blow it all to bits
To prove whose god wields all the power
You make me nervous just by being here
Maybe I'll disappear, sneak myself away, chin on my chest
Just anything, just get me out of here
I'm going
The problem is the thought of you has got me grinning ear to ear
I'm overthinking it, walking out the door
And why can't I go through with it?
You're back inside, where am I going?
You may have to drag me away
From my demons, kicking and screaming.
It's been so long now I've been with them,
I don't know where they stop - and I begin.
"Wasted moments, full of potential atonement's
An angel in disguise
But he can see her Aberdeen heart, London eyes, Glasgow bone
She's a whistle in the catacombs, a paradox"
...And at once I knew I was not magnificent
High above the highway aisle
Jagged vacance, thick with ice
I could see for miles, miles, miles
Sweetest perfection
An offer was made
An assorted collection
But I wouldn't trade
So could you
Tell me how you're sleeping easy
How you're only thinking of yourself
Show me how you justify
Telling all your lies like second nature
Listen, mark my words: one day (one day)
You will pay, you will pay
Karma's gonna come collect your debt
You're really cute, I must admit
But I need something deeper than this
I wanna know when I'm looking at you
That you don't only see the things you want to
'Cause I'm not perfect, I'm flawed
And if you don't like that, get lost
'Cause I don't want it if it's fake
I don't want it if it's just for show, for show
I just want it if it's real and I'm thinking I should let you know, you know
Send me your location, let's
Focus on communicating
'Cause I just need the time and place to come through (place to come through)
Send me your location
Let's ride the vibrations
I don't need nothing else but you
I don't wanna fall in love off of subtweets, so
Let's get personal
I got a lot of cool spots that we can go
Tell me what's the move and I got you
I'm only acting like this 'cause I like you
Just give me the vibe to slide then
Oh, I might make you mine by the night, and
Real shit goin' on in Lebanon
But I don't give a fuck, my favourite show is coming on
Hashtag pray for this, pray for that
But you ain't doing shit, get away from that
Blame it on black, blame it on a white
Blame it on a gun, blame it on a Muslim
Everybody wanna blame him, blame her
Just blame it on a mothafucka killing everyone!
Everybody wanna get high, everybody wanna live life like they can't die
Everybody gotta be right
Everybody scrollin, scrollin, thru they life
I wish they would love me like I like they pictures
I wish I had bitches
I wish I had motivation to get money
Ain't it funny, my rainy day would be sunny
If I had the vision of currency fallin above from the sky
Fallin above from the sky, listen up
Everybody looking for the meaning of life thru a cell phone screen
Only been a few weeks... :P But here are my lyrics for this week :)was listening to this recently 10/10 song :P
~ Marshmello ft. Khalid - Silence ~
I found peace in your violence
Can't tell me there's no point in trying
I'm at one, and I've been quiet for too long
I found peace in your violence
Can't tell me there's no point in trying
I'm at one, and I've been silent for too long

Talkin' to myself and feelin' oldThis speaks to me to because I feel like this a lot. Like a lot. Most likely too much to be healthy and normal.
Sometimes I'd like to quit
Nothin' ever seems to fit
Hangin' around
Nothin' to do but frown
Rainy days and Mondays always get me down
I'm never gonna dance againI don't know the intended meaning of these lyrics -- something about love? The lyrics are meaningful to me, however, as it holds a connection to my last relationship. My girlfriend-at-the-time enjoyed slowish dancing in private, so we'd put music on -- like this song -- and dance together to it. Given we eventually split, it makes the first line especially poignant.
Guilty feet have got no rhythm
Though it's easy to pretend
I know you're not a fool
Yo no pido nada extraordinario
Solo un hombre de verdad
Que se tire por mí al barro
Que cambie las bombillas o hasta que me lave el carro
Quiero un tipo atento y cariñoso
Pero que no sea muy celoso
Que en la calle sea un príncipe
Pero que en mi cama sea salvaje y peligroso
I'm not asking for anything extraordinary,
Just a "real man",
Who would through himself in the mud for me,
Who can change the lightbulbs and wash the car.
I want someone who is attentive and sweet,
Who isn't the jealous type,
And who is a prince on the street,
But savage in the sheets.
(Try to give you warning but everyone ignores me)
Told you everything loud and clear
(But nobody's listening)
(Call to you so clearly)
(But you don't want to hear me)
Told you everything loud and clear
(But nobody's listening)
I got a heart full of pain, head full of stress
(Nobody's listening)
Handful of anger held in my chest
(Nobody's listening)
Up-hill struggle
(Nobody's listening)
Blood, sweat, and tears
(Nobody's listening)
Nothing to gain
(Nobody's listening)
Everything to fear
The shock and awe, the fright and woe
And when I asked for a second chance, life said no
When I met you
I was so young
I didn't know that it could fall apart
Tell me what do i do
Now i see what we've done
and i know that its true
you gave me nothing but love
'Cause I'm only human, just like you
I've been making my mistakes, oh if you only knew
I don't think you should believe in me the way that you do
'Cause I'm terrified to let you down, oh
If I walked on water, I would drown
At times, the dark's fading slowly
But it never sustains
Would someone watch over me
In my time of need?
Make the money, don't let the money make you
Change the game, don't let the game change you
When I see your face (face, face...)
There's not a thing that I would change
'Cause you're amazing (amazing)
Just the way you are (are)
And when you smile (smile, smile...)
The whole world stops and stares for a while
'Cause, girl, you're amazing (amazing)
Just the way you are (are).
Yeah
It's a quarter after one, I'm all alone and I need you now
Said I wouldn't call but I've lost all control and I need you now
And I don't know how I can do without
I just need you now
Before you judge me
Try hard to love me
I know where you been, where you are, where you goin'
I know you're the reason I believe in life
What's the day without a little night?
I'm just tryna shed a little light
It can be hard
It can be so hard
But you gotta live right now
You got everything to give right now
You've got a fast car
Is it fast enough so we can fly away?
We've gotta make a decision
Leave tonight or live and die this way
But i will stand behind and be someone to fall back onSomeone to fall back on (Track from the movie Bandslam)
I been left out, lied to, talked about and used
Stared down and laughed at, while walking out of school
You wanna put the blame on me the feeling's nothing new
You wanna hang more pain on me there's nothing you can do
Take a chance on meTake a Chance on Me- ABBA
If you need me, let me know, gonna be around
If you've got no place to go, if you're feeling down
I kick the gutter in tight shorts, basketball courts
Watch me, watch him talk to girls
I'm known as a right-hand slugger
Anybody else wanna touch my lover?
I know someday you'll have a beautiful life
I know you'll be a star in somebody else's sky, but why
Why, why can't it be, why can't it be mine?
We all think that we are nobody,
But everybody is somebody else's
Somebody.
Kim's Caravan - Courtney Barnett
Pretty powerful, I think.
Love love love Barnett! I saw her perform once at Taronga Zoo. She was brilliant!
Life goes on, the ending's the starting line
Chin up, press on, you will survive
Society, you're a crazy breed
I hope you're not lonely without me
Society, crazy, indeed
I hope you're not lonely without me
Society, have mercy on me
I hope you're not angry if I disagree
I kick the gutter in tight shorts, basketball courts
Watch me, watch him talk to girls
I'm known as a right-hand slugger
Anybody else wanna touch my lover?
She kicks the gutter in tight shorts, basketball courts
Watch me, watch her talk to boys
I'm known as a right-hand slugger
Anybody else wanna touch my lover?
Dean Lewis, Adore:cover thread is here https://atarnotes.com/forum/index.php?topic=172432.0 ;)
And I will try to hold you up
Through those times when you are gone
Despite the weather, it gets better
You won't do this alone
Voldemort - With Confidence
I really just love this whole song.
"So if you happen to be in Chicago
Then I'll take the first flight tomorrow
Confess all the feelings
That I've been concealing for years
And if you happen to be in the city
Then meet me on top of the highest building
Darling what else can I lose
I already lost you."
Can't get my mouth to say the words they wanna say to you
I like pizza, pepperoni
Mozzarella and anchovies
I like pizza with salami
And some cheese and oregano
I like pizza with tomato
I like pizza...
I used to be an axolotl
I did what axolotls do
I breathed through gills, my skin was mottled
I know you wont believe its true
But then one day i found a bottle
Filled with salamander goo
I drank a little
Then a lotl
I necked the whole ungodly brew
Armor on, you use your heart as a fortress
Ticking bombs, all the weapons are useless
So can you just let down your guard?
Before everything is marred
Armor on, you use your heart as a fortress
Don't be like the one who made me so old
Don't be like the one who left behind his name
Cause they're waiting for you like I waited for mine
And nobody ever came..
Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
When at first I learned to speak,
I used all my words to fight -
With him and her, and you and me,
But it's just a waste of time.
It's such a waste of time.
And the walls kept tumbling down
In the city that we love
Gray clouds roll over the hills
Bringing darkness from above
But if you close your eyes,
Does it almost feel like
Nothing changed at all?
And if you close your eyes,
Does it almost feel like
You've been here before?
I hear them calling me, I hear them whispering
They’re singing “Now we are coming home”
I hear them calling me, I hear them howling
Singing “Now we are coming home”
Oh, oh
See the shadows dancing
Oh, they dance for us tonight
And as I’m tossing and I’m turning
Oh, they come alive
We shiver as we step into the cold, cold night
Then we’re running, we are running now
This is the winter of our youth
Oh but I'm not there yet
I've got nostalgia running through me
And I don't like it
Oh my, my, my, my
Now I can almost taste it, taste it
But I, just hope we didn't waste it away
I wish my heart was always on her mind
'Cause she's on mine like all day, all the time
Forget me not, forget me now
I've come too far to turn around
I know what you must be thinking
That we are
Powerless to change things
But don't, don't give up
'Cause we got love
I set my course, sail away from shore
Steady, steady as she goes
A crash in the night, two worlds collide
And when two worlds collide, no one survives
No one survives
You've got it all
You lost your mind in the sound
There's so much more
You can reclaim your crown
You're in control
Rid of the monsters inside your head
Put all your faults to bed
You can be king again
Din din wo
In na bemale
Di din wo
In na bemale
Natata ki laya
Guilando sin makula
Natatamanoiatolá lanoia sin máckula
Natatamadeipó adesso sin lanina
Natatakiláya guilando sin lanina
Eh eh eh eh ehhhhhhhh
Eh eh eh eh eh eh eh eh ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Yeah, it ain't gonna be perfect
Nothing ever has
But we could try, just imagine that
Sunrise with you on my chest
No blinds in the place where I live
Daybreak open your eyes
'Cause this was only ever meant to be for one night
Still, we're changing our minds here
Be yours, be my dear
So close with you on my lips
Touch noses, feeling your breath
Push your heart and pull away, yeah
Be my summer in a winter day love
I can't see one thing wrong
Between the both of us
Be mine, be mine, yeah
Anytime, anytime
Have you ever felt like nobody was there?
Have you ever felt forgotten in the middle of nowhere?
Have you ever felt like you could disappear?
Like you could fall, and no one would hear?
Well, let that lonely feeling wash away
Maybe there’s a reason to believe you’ll be okay
‘Cause when you don’t feel strong enough to stand
You can reach, reach out your hand
There's a painting hanging somewhere,
in Paris,
Millions come over to see it,
she won't crack a smile....
And a tired tower leaning,
like it's had too much to drink,
still selling tickets, like it's going out of style...
Hold on to me
'Cause I'm a little unsteady
A little unsteady
I don't know what it's like to be you
I don't know what it's like but I'm dying to
If I could put myself in your shoes
Then I'd know what it's like to be you
Tell me what's inside of your head
No matter what you say I won't love you less
And I'd be lying if I said that I do
I don't know what it's like to be you
Take one last look at what you're leaving behind,
'Cause there's no coming back once we go
We are the children of an innocent crime,
And it’s time to take down the throne
Although our hands may shake,
We'll set the city ablaze for their treachery
We'll spill their blood and set our fathers free
Ooh, two hundred years of war
Fight till we are no more
A curse on the streets of gold, ooh ooh
Just know
That mine is a hand to hold
Take back what the kingdom stole
A curse on the streets of gold
It all looks better when I see it with you here
You keep turning, keep turning my life around
Starting to look like Ms. Know-it-all
Can't take her own advice
Can't find pieces of peace of mind, I cry
More than I want to admit
But I can't lie to myself, to anyone
If all you've ever wanted was a dream
Then you know that I can't help you
But did I show you love
In the author of my fate
'Cause you know you left a hollow
Where your body cut an alcove
Did I show you love
'Cause the silence never stayed
It's a breach I'll never cover
It's a breach I'll never cover
Hold your opinions loosely maybe you're not always right.
Show a little mercy, and hold on to love real tight.
Just a little rush, babe
To feel dizzy, to derail the mind of me
Just a little hush, babe
Our veins are busy but my heart's in atrophy
Any way to distract and sedate
Adding shadows to the walls of the cave
My favourite place is wherever you are
But I don’t know where you are
Obsession, it takes control
Obsession, it eats me whole
I can't say the words out loud
So in a rhyme I wrote you down
Now you'll live through the ages
I can feel your pulse in the pages
it feels like the world's gone mad
And there's nothing you can do about it
No there's nothing you can do about it
@poet I blame you for all the Bastille music I've been listening to, I'd forgotten how much I like their songs.What's not to love? ;)
World gone mad - Bastille
Rosalyn, outside looking in
We don't even know who you are
Rosalyn, how come we judge your skin
And never give a damn about your heart
(One day)
I'ma do it like I never did it
(One day)
I'ma have the courage to go out and get it
(One day)
Do what I love and support my girl
(One day)
I'ma shake up the whole world
And maybe one day I'll be wiser
'Cause maybe one day I'll be further from here
Put all of my faith in tomorrow
Dark days keep me up all night
Only thing I know, it's gonna be alright
Someday things will be perfect
It will be worth it all this time
I know things will get better
Hold it together
Take your time
And now you're telling everyone
How I only did you wrong
I guess you never knew me at all
🎶One friend left to sell clothesNot really sure why... but I LOVE this song!😍
One works down by the coast
One had two kids but lives alone
One's brother overdosed
One's already on his second wife
One's just barely getting by
But these people raised me and I can't wait to go home
And I'm on my way, I still remember
This old country lanes
When we did not know the answers
And I miss the way you make me feel, it's real
We watched the sunset over the castle on the hill🎶
Woah woah, you don’t have to go it alone, go it alone...
Run for your life my love
Run and you don’t give up
...
Leave all that’s burned behind
Just run for your life.
If you're gonna hit me, hit me harder
(Hit me, hit me harder)
Cause you better knock me out the first time
And if you're gonna do this rip the plaster
(Do this rip the plaster)
If you're gonna hit me, hit me harder than this
Power, power
Blows my mind to think I ever let you hold it over me
Just say no more, use your eyes, the world goes and flutters by
Use your eyes, you'll know you are
Use your eyes, the world goes and flutters by
Use your eyes, you'll know you are
I wish that I was as invisible as you make me feel
Blood is the god of war's rich livery,
Accurs'd be he that first invented war,
They knew not us,
They knew not simple men,
Nor those who were hit by pelting cannon shots
F*ckin' PerfectAfter the last Methods exam today, i couldn't stop jumping around...
The path to heaven runs through miles of clouded hell
Right to the top
Don't look back
One step ahead, one step behind me
Now you gotta run to get even
Make future plans, don't dream about yesterday
Lately, I've been, I've been thinking
I want you to be happier, I want you to be happier
Even though I might not like this
I think that you'll be happier, I want you to be happier
I wanna wake up where your love is
'Cause your love is always waking mine
I wanna break down where your heart gets
So torn it's almost breaking mine
I wanna lay here, lost and bitter
So long, I feel like I could die
I wanna tell you what my truth is
But it's buried down inside
Shining light, show and tell
Don't be scared, truth is hell
Down we go, wish me well
No one knows where we fell
But I should just walk away, away
Oh, it grips me
'Cause the devil’s got my arms
'Cause the devil's got my arms
And it pulls me back into the night
I've been reckless and ragged, I've been run into to the ground
I've been lost for so long I forgot I could be found
So in awe there I stood as you licked off the grain
Though I've handled the wood, I still worship the flame
Long as amber of ember glows
All the wood that I'd loved is long ago
And that's not tonight
When I'm set alight
And I blink inside
Oh, your blinding light
Oh, that's not tonight
You won't be the only one
I am unfinished, I've got
So much left to learn
I don't know how this river runs
But I'd like the company
Through every twist and turn
We hide, lifting from the ground
We go, never coming down
I don't mind if you wanna go anywhere
I'll take you there
Snakes are biting at my heels
The worries that refuse to let us go
I’ve been kicking them away
Been hoping not to let them take control
I know no one's ever been there for you
And I know that you think I'm only gonna hurt you too
So you accuse me, that I'm guilty, like you want it all to go wrong
So easy, to blame me, it's been that way for so long
Far over the misty mountains cold
Through dungeons deep
And caverns old
We must away
At break of day
To find our long forgotten gold
I must
Understand out why they stare, in disgust
If they keep it up I think my head will rust
Baby, I'm yours
And I'll be yours until two and two is three,
Yours until the mountain crumbles to the sea
In other words, until eternity
唱一首 拣一首
经典怀念嘅广东歌
就算忧郁心难过
唱出一首代表我
Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
Absolutely beautiful song.
What the hell did I used to do
I've even started to speak like you
And now you're living in my memory,
Living in my mouth,
Living in the four fucking walls of my house.
All around the world
You'd think that things were looking rough
But the jackboot only jumps down
On people standing up
So you know good things are happening
When the jackboot needs to jump
don't forget the stars you wish to see float in the darkness
Is this line from Suga's Interlude? ;D
Uh-huh, in the name of the true and living God, the beneficent, the merciful
Thank you for bringing me up the rough side of the mountain like Ertuğrul
Every knee bowed and every tongue confessed and paid homage
To the monk who visited Rothschilds like Thelonious did Pannonica
It's Jay Elec-entendre-nica comin' through your monitor
Back from the great beyond like the Son of Man or the Son of Donda?
I never rolled the GSXR or the R6 or the Honda
But I flew my Ducati through North America like Wakanda
Earthquakes will strike this nation for what Bush did to Rwanda
What the Clintons did to Haiti and Downing Street did to Ghana
In Tenochtitlan, they call me Terremoto, El Negro Loco
I shake the tectonic plates of the game if I lay one vocal
The God is interstellar while you fellas remain local
My bars is like the pyramid temples of Pacal Votan
As sure as the DOJ confirmed Ezekiel's Wheel
I could change the world like Yacub with two pieces of steel
My sword and my microphone, I swore to the Christ's throne
But when you great, they wanna say you took a L, José Castille
I'm in the fight here, fight here for what seemed like lightyears
My rugged cross and thorny crowns squeeze out Christ tears
Thirty pieces of silver clout, my Pierre price tier
It's a war outside, it's a war outside
It's like the last days of Sodom and Gomorrah outside
