An angel in disguise
But he can see her Aberdeen heart, London eyes, Glasgow bone
She's a whistle in the catacombs, a paradox"

Holocene - Bon Iver

Quote
...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

I haven't posted in a while, oops. This week was a tie between the song below and 'In Dreams' by Roy Orbison, but hey, think I made the right decision. Both my options were not metal for a change, haha, so go me. The other difficult part was picking which lyrics to use from my chosen song, as they're all so damn good! The song is about drug addiction. Highly recommend giving the song (...and album) a listen.

Sweetest perfection
An offer was made
An assorted collection
But I wouldn't trade

Wolf in sheep's clothing - Set it off

Quote
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

Killing Spree - Logic ft. Ansel Elgort
Bolded the parts that really stick with me
Quote
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  :)

~ 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

Seigfied, Frank ocean

https://youtu.be/RWgpBlz16-s

Less morose and more present
Dwell on my gifts for a second
A moment one solar flare we're consumed
So why not spend this flammable paper on the film that's my life?

the first two lines are prompting you to get out of your head for a moment and just appreciate the present, which is the actual present in this wordplay. but the next two lines are morbidly meditating on the fragility of our mortality. we really have zero control over our lives because a freak occurrence like a solar flare could wipe all humanity and our memories clean so how can we live in moment knowing this? all it would take is one unlucky event and we would all be powerless. in this instance, the film paper is the Earth, which could easily be wiped out. (fun fact: old film paper is highly flammable à la inglorious basterds).

Carpenters: Rainy Day and Monday 

Quote
Talkin' to myself and feelin' old
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
This speaks to me to because I feel like this a lot. Like a lot. Most likely too much to be healthy and normal.
Every single lyric here is essentially my life in a nutshell.
Jack of all trades, master of none.
Hence why i'm in all these different threads and boards.

~ In the Heights (Musical) - Lin Manuel Miranda ~

This is my street.
I smile at the faces
I've known all my life.
They regard me with pride.
And everyone's sweet,
They say, "You're going places!"
So how can I say that while
I was away, I had so much to hide!
Hey guys, it's me!
The biggest disappointment
You know
The kid couldn't hack it,
She's back and she's walkin' real slow
Welcome home.
Just breathe...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hSQFjtszBYg


Kind of me at the moment - everyone is telling me it's going to be fine for the VCE Exam season but will it be really...? Only time will tell... Hopefully good things

Don't take my word for it;
Just look at me to know that I love you.
Don't take my word for it;
Just look at me to know that I do.
Look at me to know that it's true.

B: Jiu suan hui dao cong qian zhe reng shi wo wei yi jue ding
B: Even if we go back in time, you would still be my only choice

B: Wo xuan ze liao ni ni xuan ze liao wo
B: I have chosen you, you have chosen me

B: Zhe shi wo men de xuan ze
B: This is our choice


This song is in Mandarin, but I like the overall meaning of it and it just sound pleasant as well.
The lyrics of it are about a couple confirming their love for each other and sticking what that choice till the end.
If they could make the choice on whether to choose each other or not, they would always choose each other.
