Because you can't put it more simple than that xD!

Running this again since no-one else is and probably will be closed again when it hits 1000 post, so on we go! xP

Artist-- The Fray
Album-- How To Save A Life

Track-- How To Save A Life

Step one you say we need to talk
He walks you say sit down it's just a talk
He smiles politely back at you
You stare politely right on through
Some sort of window to your right
As he goes left and you stay right
Between the lines of fear and blame
And you begin to wonder why you came

Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

Let him know that you know best
Cause after all you do know best
Try to slip past his defense
Without granting innocence
Lay down a list of what is wrong
The things you've told him all along
And pray to God he hears you
And pray to God he hears you

Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

As he begins to raise his voice
You lower yours and grant him one last choice
Drive until you lose the road
Or break with the ones you've followed
He will do one of two things
He will admit to everything
Or he'll say he's just not the same
And you'll begin to wonder why you came

Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

7/10 -- Just alittle lovely song I like, haha. It's been in quite a few shows as well, namely Scrubs and Grey's Anatomy. I think it's a very sweet song, good for when you've had a long hard day and want to listen to something that gets you thinking alittle bit about things, but not too much that you get a headache, haha. I love the piano usage in this aswell xP

Artist: Nightwish
Song: Dark Chest of Wonders
Album: Once


Once I had a dream
And this it said

Once there was a child's dream
One night the clock struck twelve
The window open wide
Once there was a child's heart
The age I learned to fly
And took a step outside

Once I knew all the tales
It's time to turn back time
Follow the pale moonlight
Once I wished for this night
Faith brought me here
It's time to cut the rope
and fly

Fly to a dream
Far across the sea
All the burdens gone
Open the chest once more
Dark chest of wonders
Seen through the eyes
Of the one with pure heart
Once so long ago

The one in the Big Blue is what the world stole from me
This night will bring him back to me

Fly to a dream
Far across the sea
All the burdens gone
Open the chest once more
Dark chest of wonders
Seen through the eyes
Of the one with pure heart
Once so long ago

Fly to a dream
Far across the sea
All the burdens gone
Open the chest once more
Dark chest of wonders
Seen through the eyes
Of the one with pure heart
Once so long ago


9/10 Well, not to be biased, since I love this band, but I love this song. The orchestra that plays with them, St. Martin of the Fields, is another reason why I like this song. Them playing with the band makes it sound ten times better.

The Shins - We Will Become Silhouettes (The Postal Service Cover)

I've got a cupboard with cans of food, filtered water,
And pictures of you and i'm not coming out
Until this is all over
And i'm looking through the glass where the light bends
At the cracks
And i'm screaming at the top of my lungs pretending
The echoes belong to someone
Someone i used to know

And we become silhouettes when our bodies finally go
Ba ba ba...

I wanted to walk through the empty streets
And feel something constant under my feet,
But all the news reports recommended that
I stay indoors
Because the air outside will make our cells
Divide at an alarming rate until our shells
Simply cannot hold all our insides in,
And that's when we'll explode
(and it won't be a pretty sight)

And we'll become silhouettes when our bodies finally go
Ba ba ba...
And we'll become silhouettes when our bodies finally go
Ba ba ba...
And we'll become silhouettes when our bodies finally go
Ba ba ba...
And we'll become silhouettes when our bodies finally go
Ba ba ba...

And we'll become
And we'll become

-----------------------------

10/10 <333 this song so hardxc0re. :'D They did a wonderful twist on The Postal Service song and used their own style and sound to make this a whole 'nother song.

Band: Muse
Song: Space Hementia
Album: Origin Of Symmetry
Notes To celebrate the new topic I thought that some Muse is Needed I've been listening to this album quite a lot lately and I really love this song. I also love some of the lyrics so enjoy!

Height - is the one for me
It gives me all I need
And helps me coexcist
With the chill

You make me sick
Because I adore you so
I love all the dirty tricks
And twisted games you play
On me

Space dementia in your eyes
Peace will arise
and tear us apart
And make us meaningless again

You’ll make us wanna die
I'd cut your name in my heart
We’ll destroy this world for you
I know you want me to
Feel your pain

Space dementia in your eyes
Peace will arise
And tear us apart
And make us meaningless again

I like Flame's format, so I'm Stealing it.

Song : Outcast
Artist : Roine Stolt
Album : Wall Street Voodoo
Notes Damn this man can play those blues. It goes and it goes well, who'd expect any less from the man behind the Flower Kings? 10/10

They say this world is coming to an end
They say that Jesus is your only friend
They say that from your sin you must be saved
They say there ain't no ace in all the cards you played

You're at the end and in the seaman's log
There ain't no land in sight for this old salty dog

There ain't no pretty maid that waits for me
There is no safe retreat as far as I can see
There are no friends amongst the ones I lived
There's only strangers with notorious urges to kill

If storms won't get me, I have enemies that will
We've paid a fortune for a first class seat in hell

I don't believe there is an end of what is ME
There's no beginning to my being as I see it
There's just this solitude and this now
But I'm still alive and kicking, holy cow!!

They say this island is no place for me to hide
That grass is greener on some other distant side
They say the sky is crying for a lost and lonely soul
A simple thief crawls back into his dirty hole

You're at the end and in the seaman's log
There ain't no land in sight for this old salty dog

A millions eyes out in the starless night
They've got some common ground, some call it hate
All sleep I get is with one eye open wide
The kings and priests they want my head upon a plate

If storms won't get me, I have enemies that will
We've paid a fortune for a first class seat in hell

I don't believe there is an end of what is ME
There's no beginning to my being as I see it
There's just my salty story and this now
And I'm still alive and kicking, holy cow!!

Band: Serj Tankian (Y'know... the guy from System of a Down)
Song: Bird of Paradise (Gone)
Album: Bird Up The Charlie Parker Remix Project
Notes Apparently the song is a remix of an old Jazz song but DAMN do I like it. It's very different from the usual System of a Down stuff (though you can really hear his vocals). The creepy Jazz and heavyish drumming really do it for me.

Just a kiss from your lips and I'm gone
Just a smile from your touch and I'm gone
Just a touch from your words makes me whole
And a glance from your eyes says home.

I see what you’re doing, you’re piling it all up one by one,
Pulling from the stars, drinking the teas,
I SEE WHAT YOU’RE DOING, YOU’RE PILING IT ALL UP ONE BY ONE,
PULLING THE EYES, PULLING THE TEAS,
And CROSSING THEM ALL OUT!

Just a kiss from your lips,
Just a smile from your touch and i'm gone
Just a touch from your words makes me whole
And a glance from your eyes says home.

I see what you’re doing, you’re piling it all up one by one,
Pulling from the stars, drinking from the seas,
I SEE WHAT YOU’RE DOING, YOU’RE PILING IT ALL UP ONE BY ONE,
PULLING THE STARS, PULLING THE SEAS,
AND CROSSING THEM ALL OUT!

Don’t you want to be my love?
Can’t we suddenly elope?
Try and cross the sea above
Can’t we suddenly elope
Don’t you want to be my love?
Can’t we suddenly elope?
Try and cross the sea above
Can’t we suddenly elope?

Just a kiss, a kiss from your lips
And I…

How to Save a Life, good choice of song to start the topic. There's not a person I know who doesn't love that song - even a friend of mine who's completely devout to Rap. Mwahaha he has been conformed!
The Fray's whole album is awesome <3.

Band: Mika
Song: Lollipop
Album: Life in a Cartoon Motion
Notes: It hasn't been released as a single but its a really cute, happy song. The lyrics are so cute and I really love this song atm and the whole sound he has produced. Mika has been compared with people like Scissor Sisters and most obviously Freddie Mercury who he has a great likeness to =). Song - 8/10

Hey, what's the big idea?

Yo Mika.

I said,
sucking too hard on your lollipop,
or love's gonna get you down,
I said,
sucking too hard on your lollipop,
or love's gonna get you down.

Sucking too hard on your lollipop,
or love's gonna get you down,
sucking too hard on your lollipop,
or love's gonna get you down.
Say love, say love,
or love's gonna get you down.
say love, say love,
or love's gonna get you down.

I went walking in with my mama one day,
when she warn me what people say,
live your life until love is found,
'cause love's gonna get you down.
Take a look at the girl next door,
she's a player and a down right whore,
Jesus slows up, she wants more,
oh bad girls get you down.

Singing,
Sucking too hard on your lollipop,
or love's gonna get you down,
sucking too hard on your lollipop,
or love's gonna get you down.
Say love, say love,
or love's gonna get you down.
say love, say love,
or love's gonna get you down.

Mama told me what I should know,
too much candy gonna ride your soul,
if she loves you, let her go,
'cause love only gets you down.

Take a look at the boy like me,
never stood on my own two feet,
now I'm blue, as I can be,
oh love couldn't get me down.

Singing,
sucking too hard on your lollipop,
or love's gonna get you down,
sucking too hard on your lollipop,
or love's gonna get you down.
Say love, say love,
or love's gonna get you down.
say love, say love,
or love's gonna get you down.

I went walking with my mama one day,
when she warn me what people say,
live your life until love is found,

Singing,
sucking too hard on your lollipop,
or love's gonna get you down,
sucking too hard on your lollipop,
or love's gonna get you down.
Say love (say love), say love (say love),
or love's gonna get you down.
say love (say love), say love (say love),
or love's gonna get you down.

Mama told me what I should know,
too much candy gonna ride your soul,
if she loves you, let her go,
'cause love only gets you down.

Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh, lollipop.
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh, lollipop.

Sucking too hard on your lollipop,
or love's gonna get you down,
say,
sucking too hard on your lollipop,
or love's gonna get you down

Heh, this is for an FMA music video, it just happened to be on when I saw this topic. X D

Band: Sublime
Song: Date Rape
Album: Sublime: Greatest Hits

Let me tell you about a girl I know
had a drink about an hour ago.
Sitting in a corner by herself
In a bar in downtown Hell.
She heard a noise and she looked through the door.
And saw a man she'd never seen before.
Light skin light blue eyes a double chin and a plastic smile.
Well her eyebrow raised as he walked through the door
And took an empty seat next to her at the bar.
"My brand new car is parked right outside. How'd ya like to go for a ride?"
And she said."Wait a minute I have to think."
He said, "That's fine. May I please buy you a drink"
One drink turned into 3 or 4 and they left and got into his car
and they drove away someplace so far.

Now babe the time has come.
How'd ya like to have a little fun?
And she said." If we could only please be on our way, I will not run."

That's when things got out of control.

She didn't want to, he had his way.
She said, "Let's Go"
He said, "No Way!"
Come on babe it's your lucky day.
Shut your mouth, were gonna do it my way.
Come on baby don't be afraid,
if it wasn't for date rape I'd never get laid.


He finished up and he started the car
He turned around and drove back to the bar.
He said."Now baby don't be sad, in my opinion you weren't half-bad."
She picked up a rock.,threw it at the car, hit him in the head, now he's got a big scar.
Come on you party people won't you listen to me.
Date Rape Stylie.

The next day she went to her drawer, looked up her local attorney at law,
went to the phone and filed the police report and then she took the guy's ass to court.
Well, the day he stood in front of the judge he screamed, " She lies that little slut!"
The judge knew that he was full of ##### and he gave him 25 years
And now his heart is filled with tears.

one night in jail it was getting late.
He was butt-raped by a large inmate, and he screamed.
But the guards paid no attention to his cries.

That's when things got out of control.

The moral of the date rape story, it does not pay to be drunk and horny.
But that's the way it had to be.
They locked him up and threw away the key.
Well, I can't take pity on men of his kind,
even though he now takes it in the behind.

That's the way it had to be.
They locked him up and threw away the key.
Well, I can't take pity on men of his kind,
even though he now takes it in the behind.

DATE RAPE

she didn't want to
she didn't want to
she didn't want to
She didn't want to TAKE IT!

Blonde Redhead - Misery is a Butterfly

Dearest Jane I should’ve known better
But I couldn’t say hello, I don't know why
But now I think, I think you were sad
Yes you were, you were, you were

What I say, I say only to you
Cause I love and I love only you
Dearest Jane, I want to give you a dream
That no one has given you

Remember when we found misery
We watched her, watched her spread her wings
And slowly fly around our room
And she asked for your gentle mind

Misery is a butterfly
Her heavy wings will warp your mind
With her small ugly face
And her long antenna
And her black and pink heavy wings

Remember when we found misery
We watched her, watched her spread her wings
And slowly, slowly fly around our room
And she asked for your gentle mind

------------------------------------

Lols, this song is soooooo creepy. :') But that's why it's so fun, because it's ridiculously creepy and eery the way the vocals are done. But it's catchy, and the song as a whole really does make me think of a sorrow and...somehow a butterfly. @_@

Band: The Sounds
Song: Fire
Album: Living In America
Note: I had seen them live on friday the 16th in Amsterdam and there I learned they had two albums. I was only aware of the second one and I heard this song, which was on the first album. Anyway, I really love this song at the moment and I also love their style which is appearantly 'New Wave' or so I have read on Wikipedia.
Anyway, it is a good band to check out some time.

I feel fine if I feel at all
I feel fine but I need you more
There's no use, it's all up to you
Can't you hear my heart beat?
I could be someone else tonight
I could be what you decide
There's no use, it's up to you
Can't you feel my heart beat?

Fire, now you're on your own
Your pretty eyes have seen enough
We'll go higher where I belong
The city lights are bright enough to blind me

And you, the look we choose
I feel like the latest news
It's all bruised, it's up to you
Can't you feel my heart beat

Fire, now you're on your own
Your pretty eyes have seen enough
We'll go higher where I belong
The city lights are bright enough to be
Fire, now you're on your own
Your pretty eyes have seen enough
We'll go higher where I belong
The city lights are bright enough to blind me

Come on and give me some
Fire, now you're on your own
Your pretty eyes have seen enough
We'll go higher where I belong
The city lights are bright to be
Fire, now you're on your own
Your pretty eyes have seen enough
We'll go higher where I belong
The city lights are bright enough to blind me

Band: Scatter the Ashes
Song: Citadel
Album: Devout/The Modern Hymn

Follow me into the leaves,
At least what is left.
Our comfort covered by the new fall forest.
And always trust your eyes.
I'm afraid they have given up on me.
And always trust your eyes.
But I've given up on them too.
They wont come looking for you.
Because I've given up on them too.
--
10/10, this easily has to be one of my favorite songs to date.

Band- Green Day
CD- American Idiot
Song- Holiday

Say! Hey!

Hear the sound of the falling rain
Coming down like an armageddon flame (Hey!)
The shame, the ones who died without a name

Hear the dogs howling out of key
To a hymn called Faith and Misery (Hey!)
And bleed, the company lost the war today

I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
This is the dawning of the rest of our lives
On holiday

Hear the drum pounding out of time
Another protester has crossed the line (Hey!)
To find, the money's on the other side

Can I get another Amen? (Amen!)
There's a flag wrapped around a score of men (Hey!)
A gag, A plastic bag on a monument

I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
This is the dawning of the rest of our lives
On holiday

hey!

The representative of the United Kingdom now has the floooooor...
Zieg Heil to the president gasman,
Bombs away is your punishment!
Pulverize the Eiffel towers,
who criticize your government!
Bang bang goes the broken glass man,
Kill all the fags that don't agree!
Trial by fire, setting fire
It's not a way that's meant for me
Just cause, just cause, because we're outlaws yeah!

I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
This is the dawning of the rest of our lives

I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
This is the dawning of the rest of our lives
On Holiday!

8/10
Well known, but my favorite song on the album, and it's on Tony Hawk's American Wasteland.

artist - Eric Clapton
song - Tears In Heaven



Would you know my name
If I saw you in heaven
Will 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 knee
Time can break your heart
Have you begging please
Begging please

(instrumental)

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
Will 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

Cause I know I don't belong
Here in heaven

um, 7/10 my friend told me about this song, he said it was good. I like it, but not as much as him though.

Damien Rice - Delicate

We might kiss when we are alone
When nobody's watching
We might take it home
We might make out when nobody's there
It's not that we're scared
It's just that it's delicate

So why do you fill my sorrow
With the words you've borrowed
From the only place you've know
And why do you sing Hallelujah
If it means nothing to you
Why do you sing with me at all?

We might live like never before
When there's nothing to give
Well how can we ask for more
We might make love in some sacred place
The look on your face is delicate

So why do you fill my sorrow
With the words you've borrowed
From the only place you've know
And why do you sing Hallelujah
If it means nothing to you
Why do you sing with me at all?

So why do you fill my sorrow
With the words you've borrowed
From the only place you've know
And why do you sing Hallelujah
If it means nothing to you
Why do you sing with me at all?

---------------------------------

I loveeee Damien Rice. :') Admittedly I first got a hold of him while watching Closer, which is like an uber uber favourite movie of mine of course. It all went uphill from there.

Artist: Nightwish
Album: Oceanborn
Song name: Gethsemane (I think.)

A snowy owl above the haunted waters
Poet of ancient gods
Cries to tell the neverending story
Prophecy of becoming floods

An aura of mystery surrounds her
The lady in brightest white
Soon the incarnate shall be born
The Creator of the Night

Deep dark is His Majesty's kingdom
A portent of tomorrow's world
There shall the liquid give Him power
The red-eyed unborn lord

Fatal embrace of the bloodred waters
The cradle of infinite gloom
The spell to master this Earth
Carven on an infant's tomb

"I will die for the love of the mermaid
Her seduction beauty and scorn
Welcome to the end of your life
- Hail the Oceanborn!"

"Disgraced is my virginity
Death has woven my wedding dress
Oh Great Blue breathe the morning dew
For you are the cradle of the image of god"

"Brave now long rest is sweet
With me here in the deep"

"I prayed for pleasure wished for love
Prayed for your - "

"Never pray for me!"

"Who the hell are you for me
But a mortal dream to see?"

"This apathetic life must drown
Forever just for me"

"Leave me be
Leave me be
Leave me be...ee...eeee"

"From cradle to coffin
Shall my wickedness be your passion"

We shall come to set the dolphins free
We shall wash the darkened bloodred sea
Our songs will echo over the mountains and seas
The eternity will begin once again in peace

8/10 This isn't one of their better songs, but the reason I like it so much is because the chord where she sings: "For you are the cradle of the image of God" always sends shivers up my spine. I listen to it over and over just to hear that one spot.

artist - papa roach
song - getting away with murder

Somewhere beyond hapiness and sadness
I need to calculate what creates my own madness
And I'm addicted to your punishment
And your the master, and I am waiting for disaster

I feel irrational, so confrontational
To tell the truth I am getting away with murder
It is impossible to never tell the truth
But the reality is I'm getting away with murder

Getting away, getting away, getting away

I drink my drink and I don't even want to
I think my thoughts when I don't even need to
I never look back cause I don't even want to
And I dont need to, because I'm getting away with murder

I feel irrational, so confrontational
To tell the truth I am getting away with murder
It is impossible to never tell the truth
But the reality is I'm getting away with murder

Getting away, getting away, getting away
Getting away, getting away, getting away
Getting away, getting away, getting away
Murder

Somewhere beyond hapiness and sadness
I need to calculate what creates my own madness
And I'm addicted to your punishments
And I'm your master, and I am craving this disaster

I feel irrational, so confrontational
To tell the truth I am getting away with murder
It is impossible to never tell the truth
But the reality is I'm getting away with murder

Getting away, getting away, getting away

I feel irrational, so confrontational
To tell the truth I am getting away with murder
It is impossible to never tell the truth
But the reality is I'm getting away with murder

10/10 I heard this song a long time ago, and this just stuck with me. I just love this song.

Band: - Tool
Song: - Schism
Album: - Lateralus
Notes: - A well known song but I think it's fame is justified. I like some of tool but this song stands out as one of the best. Interesting lyrics as well if pretentious. Right now I'm reading up on the possibility that maybe the album is not in the right order seeing as a member of the band has hinted at it. Interesting but after a point I don't hear it...

I know the pieces fit
'Cause I watched them fall away
Mildewed and smouldering
Fundamental differing
Pure intention juxtaposed
Will set two lovers' souls in motion
Disintegrating as it goes
Testing our communication
The light that feuled our fire then
Has a burned a hole between us so
We cannot see to reach an end
Crippling our communication

I know the pieces fit
'Cause I watched them tumble down
No fault, none to blame
It doesn't mean I don't desire to
Point the finger, blame the other
Watch the temple topple over
To bring the pieces back together
Rediscover communication

The poetry
That comes from the squaring off between
And the circling is worth it
Finding beauty in the dissonance

There was a time that the pieces fit
But I watched them fall away
Mildewed and smouldering
Strangled by our coveting
I've done the math enough to know
The dangers of our second guessing
Doomed to crumble unless we grow
And strengthen our communication

Cold silence has
A tendency to
Atrophy any
Sense of compassion
Between supposed brothers
Between supposed lovers

Megadeth - Five Magics

Bestow upon me magic
Wizard, all knowing, all wise
I want to rule this kingdom
Make sweet the breeze now defiled
Dethrone the evil prince's iron fists
In velvet gloves of sin
Parade the grey robed monks
The vestal virgins, wheel the wyvern's in

Let the ceremony consecrate the marriage
Let me be the protege of Five Magics

Give me alchemy, give me wizardry
Give me sorcery, thermatology
Electricity, magic if you please, master all of these
Bring him to his knees

I master five magics, I master five magics
I master five magics, I master five magics

Possessed with hellish torment, possessed with hellish torment
I master magics five, I master magics five
Hunting the abyss lord, hunting the abyss lord
Only one will stay alive, only one will stay alive
He who lives by the sword, he who lives by the sword
Will surely also die, will surely also die
He who lives in sin, he who lives in sin
Will surely live the lie

8/10 This song has an amazing opening and then later is followed up by some sweet vocals and sound.

Milk it - Nirvana

I am my own parasite
I don't need a host to live
We feed off of each other
We can share our endorphins

Doll steak!
Test meat!

Look on the bright side is suicide
Lost eyesight I'm on your side
Angel left wing, right wing, broken wing
Lack of iron and/or sleeping

I own my own pet virus
I get to pet and name her
Her milk is my #####
My ##### is her milk

Test Meat!
Doll steak!

Look on the bright side is suicide
Lost eyesight I'm on your side
Angel left wing, right wing, broken wing
Lack of iron and/or sleeping

Doll steak!
Test meat!

Look on the bright side is suicide
Lost eyesight I'm on your side
Angel left wing, right wing, broken wing
Lack of iron and/or sleeping

Protector of the kennel
Ecto-plasma, Ecto-skeletal
Obituary birthday
Your scent is still here in my place of recovery!

Band- Primus
CD- Frizzle Fry
Song- John the Fisherman

When he was young you'd not find him doing well in school,
His mind would turn unto the waters.
Always the focus of adolescent ridicule,
He has no time for farmer's daughters.
Alienated from the clique society,
A lonely boy finds peace in fishing.
His mother says John this is not the way life's supposed to be.
Don't you see the life that you are missing?
And he says...
When I grow up I want to be,
One of the harvesters of the sea.
I think before my days are done,
I want to be a fisherman.
Now years gone by we find man that rules the sea.
He sets out on a dark May morning .
To bring his catch back to this small community.
He doesn't see the danger dawning.
Four hours up, oh the ocean swelled and swelled,
The fog rolled in it started raining.
The starboard bow. Oh my God we're going down!
They do not hear his frantic mayday.
And he says
When I grow up I want to be,
one of the harvesters of the sea.
I think before my days are done,
I want to be a fisherman.
I'll live and die a fisherman.
Calling John the Fisherman.

EDIT:
10/10 Love this song, the bass rocks and the lyrics are interesting to me.

It's good to finally see some Nirvana on here... and something not usually mentioned. Not my favourite song though but it does have a certain mood that Kurt managed to capture so well in some of his other songs.

Anyway...

Artist: The Littlest Man Band
Song: Always Saying
Album: Better Book Ends
Notes: I love this song so much... it manages to have a very angry feel to it but also makes me feel quite uplifted. Also has the added bonus of having (non-cryptic) awesome lyrics. Not my usual taste.

There's not a lot of difference between a foxhole and a grave
And knowing that you dug your ditch and climbed in anyway
Touch gloves take your corners and come out fighting when the bell rings
You don't get more points for all your suffering.

So you closed your eyes and dreamed your heart to a safer place
And smiled for awhile with a brand new style and a change of pace.
What a beautiful cover, a talk show makeover, and you'll lose some weight.
But if you wanna get well then why the hell do you hesitate?

Listen to yourself. The king of hypocrites
Who do you think you are you ain't foolin' #####
But if you keep preaching then you might just believe it

You're always saying that it's all going better
Well I've seen you, and needs to
God I hope it's all going better for you
And you're saying that it tastes so much sweeter
Well I've been there, and it's bitter
God I wish that I could feel sorry for you

A few bridges were burned while your backs been turned
But hey that's life
You're getting used to the sickly, thick fog of indifference and you think that's alright
You don't need nobody to hold your hand
You don't need nobody you're the littlest man
Cuz' you don't trust anybody.

There's still a withered soul that's now filled to the brim
With speeches you repeat that mean a lot to you
But not enough to get your ass off the floor and do it

You're always saying that it's all going better
Well I've seen you, and it needs to
God I hope it's all going better for you
And you're saying that it tastes so much sweeter
Well I've been there, and it's bitter
God I wish that I could feel sorry for you

You're always saying that it's all going better
Well I've seen you, and needs to
God I hope it's all going better for you
And you're saying that it tastes so much sweeter
Well I've been there, and it's bitter
God I wish that I could feel sorry for you
OH

lol kokiri, from guitar hero; I'm pretty good on that song though. I have messege in a bottle on my media player, it's good.



artist - yellow card
song - ocean avenue

There's a place off Ocean Avenue
Where I used to sit and talk with you
We were both 16 and it felt so right
Sleeping all day, staying up all night
Staying up all night

There's a place on the corner of Cherry Street
We would walk on the beach in our bare feet
We were both 18 and it felt so right
Sleeping all day, staying up all night
Staying up all night

If I could find you now things would get better
We could leave this town and run forever
Let your waves crash down on me and take me away

There's a piece of you that's here with me
It's everywhere I go, it's everything I see
When I sleep, I dream and it gets me by
I can make believe that you're here tonight
That you're here tonight

If I could find you now things would get better
We could leave this town and run forever
I know somewhere, somehow we'll be together
Let your waves crash down on me and take me away

I remember the look in your eyes
When I told you that this was goodbye
You were begging me not tonight
Not here, not now
We're looking up at the same night sky
And keep pretending the sun will not rise
Be together for one more night
Somewhere, somehow

If I could find you now things would get better
We could leave this town and run forever
I know somewhere, somehow we'll be together
Let your waves crash down on me and take me away

In Flames - Jotun

I often dream of huge numb buildings
jet-black sinister architecture
being installed when nobody sees
Their appearance so sudden
that few would take notice

And when I wake up
I imagine being crushed by one
imagining it's weight it's silence
and the absence of excuses for a havoced life
and the priviledge of a 22-kilometer tombstone

Jotun

A body of black
that carried no reflection
defying it's own room
un-earthly eggs of decreation

There would be colonies
mushroom-scattered forever out of context
rising spores from a dying world
to pollute to chase away what's left

Sun-white pulverised desert stone
and serpentine lizard mouths
Pales away the pyramids
rewriting 4500 years of history
raping the statue of liberty
outplays the acropolis
inverting the fjords
invades the N.Y. skyline to
dream it's own existence in one single final word

Jotun

Can we identify them
as the flint buried in our reptile skulls
or the time-bomb coded in our dna

9.5/10 - Definatly in my top three favorite In Flames songs, right behind December Flower and maybe ahead of Gyroscope. Great sound, and definatly a great live song.

Apple_Juice I love that song! Can't believe I didn't think to put it up myself. EDIT: And I like Jerry was a race car driver from Tony hawk's Pro Skater 1 and ATV Offroad Fury 2.

Band- All American Rejects
CD- Move Along
Song- Dirty Little Secret


Let me know that I've done wrong
When I've known this all along
I go around a time or two
Just to waste my time with you

Tell me all that you've thrown away
Find out games you don't wanna play
You are the only one that needs to know

I'll keep you my dirty little secret
(Dirty little secret)
Don't tell anyone or you'll be just another regret
(Just another regret, hope that you can keep it)
My dirty little secret

Who has to know
When we live such fragile lives
It's the best way we survive
I go around a time or two
Just to waste my time with you

Tell me all that you've thrown away
Find out games you don't wanna play
You are the only one that needs to know

I'll keep you my dirty little secret
(Dirty little secret)
Don't tell anyone or you'll be just another regret
(Just another regret, hope that you can keep it)
My dirty little secret

Who has to know
The way she feels inside (inside)
Those thoughts I can't deny (deny)
These sleeping thoughts won't lie (won't lie)
And all I've tried to hide
It's eating me apart
Trace this life out

I'll keep you my dirty little secret
(Dirty little secret)
Don't tell anyone or you'll be just another regret
(Just another regret)

I'll keep you my dirty little secret
(Dirty little secret)
Don't tell anyone or you'll be just another regret
(Just another regret, hope that you can keep it)
My dirty little secret
Dirty little secret
Dirty little secret

Who has to know
Who has to know

I could listen to this song over and over for weeks. Love the message behind it. Also, I got into PostSecret.com because of the music video.

Ack! Yellowcard? All American Rejects?

Something decent is needed... but instead of posting something pretentious I'm going to post one of my favourite popular songs...

Band: Queens Of The Stone Age
Song: No One Knows
Album: Songs for the Deaf
Note: I just love this song so damn much. QOTSA are very much hit or miss... They'll have one or two amazing tracks followed by a bunch of mediocre songs... however it's worth it just for those tracks. I find it easier to find people who like this song than people who don't (and knowing how picky everyone is that is a great achievement).


We get some rules to follow
That and this
These and those
No one knows

We get these pills to swallow
How they stick
In your throat
Tastes like gold

Oh, what you do to me
No one knows

And I realize you’re mine
Indeed a fool of mine
And I realize you’re mine
Indeed a fool of mine
Ahh

I journey through the desert
Of the mind
With no hope
I found low

I drift along the ocean
Dead lifeboats in the sun
And come undone

Pleasently caving in
I come undone

And I realize you’re mine
Indeed a fool of mine
And I realize you’re mine
Indeed a fool and mine
Ahhh

Heaven smiles above me
What a gift there below
But no one knows

A gift that you give to me
No one knows

Arist: Melanie Chisholm (MC)
Album: Northern Star
Song: I Turn to You

Rating: 9/10 A friend gave me this song a few weeks ago. It really reminds both of us of Bean and Ender, from the Ender’s Game serires by Orson Scott Card. Also kinda reminds us both of the null-g that they had in the battle rooms. Very good song. It’s the only one I’ve heard by her though.



" When the world is darker than I can understand.
When nothing turns out the way I planned.
When the sky turns grey and there's no end in sight.
When I can't sleep through the lonely night.


I turn to you. Like a flower leaning toward the sun.
I turn to you. 'Cos you're the only one.
Who can turn me around when I'm upside down.
I turn to you.


When my insides are wracked with anxiety.
You have the touch that will quiet me.
You lift my spirit. You melt the ice.
When I need inspiration, when I need advice.


I turn to you. Like a flower leaning toward the sun.
I turn to you. 'Cos you're the only one.
Who can turn me around when I'm upside down.
I turn to you.


Where would I be? What would I do?
If you'd never helped me through.
I hope someday if you've lost your way.
You could turn to me like I turn to you.


I turn to you. Like a flower leaning toward the sun.
I turn to you. 'Cos you're the only one.
Who can turn me around when I'm upside down.
I turn to you.

I turn to you. When fear tells me to turn around.
I turn to you. 'Cos you're the only one.
Who can turn me around when I'm upside down.
I turn to you. I turn to you. I turn to you."

Artist: The Killers
Song: Read My Mind
Album: Sam's Town

On the corner of main street
Just trying to keep it in line
You say you wanna move on and
You say I'm falling behind

Can you read my mind?
Can you read my mind?

I never really gave up on
Breaking out of this two-star town
I got the green light
I got a little fight
I'm gonna turn this thing around

Can you read my mind?
Can you read my mind?

The good old days, the honest man;
The restless heart, the Promised Land
A subtle kiss that no one sees;
A broken wrist and a big trapeze

Oh well I don't mind, if you don't mind
'Coz I don't shine if you don't shine
Before you go, can you read my mind?

It’s funny how you just break down
Waiting on some sign
I pull up to the front of your driveway
With magic soaking my spine

Can you read my mind?
Can you read my mind?

The teenage queen, the loaded gun;
The drop dead dream, the Chosen One
A southern drawl, a world unseen;
A city wall and a trampoline

Oh well I don't mind, if you don't mind
'Coz I don't shine if you don't shine
Before you jump
Tell me what you find when you read my mind

Slipping in my faith until I fall
He never returned that call
Woman, open the door, don't let it sting
I wanna breathe that fire again

She said
I don't mind, if you don't mind
Coz I don't shine if you don't shine

Put your back on me
Put your back on me
Put your back on me

The stars are blazing like rebel diamonds cut out of the sun
When you read my mind

8/10 - While I really didn't like this song when I first heard it, it began to grow on me as my buddy would play it every time I'd pick him up before school over the past week or so =p. It has a nice ambient sound and really nice lyrics, plus the video for it is just plain cool.

Come on now, this is getting ridiculous once again. If you can't make any effort besides copying and pasting in some text, and not at least writing more then one sentence to explain why you chose it, you might as well NOT post in here.

Sorry, Loomis. I'll do better from now on.

Fall Out Boy
It Ain't A Scene, It's An Arms Race

I am an arms dealer
with weapons in the form of words.
And- don't really care which side wins;
as long as the room keeps singing,
that's just the business I'm need.

This ain't a scene, its a - god damn arms race,
This ain't a scene, its a - god damn arms race,
This ain't a scene, its a - god damn arms race,
I'm not a shoulder to cry on,
but I digress.

I'm a leading man,
and the lies I weave are oh-so-intricate, oh-so-intricate
I'm a leading man,
and the lies I weave are oh-so-intricate, oh-so-intricate

I wrote the gospel on giving up,
(you look pretty sinking)
But the real bombshells have already sunk,
(prima donnas of the gutter )
At night we're painting your trash gold while you sleep
Crashing not like hips or cars;
no, more like p-p-p-parties.

This ain't a scene, its a - god damn arms race,
This ain't a scene, its a - god damn arms race,
This ain't a scene, its a - god damn arms race,
Bandwagon's full,
please catch another.

I'm a leading man,
and the lies I weave are oh-so-intricate, oh-so-intricate
I'm a leading man,
and the lies I weave are oh-so-intricate, oh-so-intricate

All the boys who the dance floor didn't love,
And all the girls whose lips couldn't move fast enough,
Sing until your lungs give out.

This aint a scene, its a - god damn arms race,
This aint a scene, its a - god damn arms race,
(Now you)
This aint a scene, its a - god damn arms race,
(wear out the groove)
This aint a scene, its a - god damn arms race,
(sing it out loud)
This aint a scene, its a - god damn arms race,
(Oh oh)
This aint a scene, its a - god damn arms race.

*dreams again? Oh oh*

I'm a leading man,
and the lies I weave are oh-so-intricate, oh-so-intricate
I'm a leading man,
and the lies I weave are oh-so-intricate, oh-so-intricate

8/10
I heard this song on MTV this morning. I like this song because to me it has a certain weirdness to it. The writer compares himself to an arms dealer just wanting everybody to keep singing, but the music video has them acting like posers, just the opposite. This song also has an addictive-ness to it. It's been stuck in my head all day, and yet I still like it.

Band: Nightwish
Album: Century Child
Song: End of All Hope

Rating 10/10 This is the closest to completely rock I think I've heard them get. All the rest of their songs actually have instrumentals, but this one is purely keyboard/synth, vocals, bass/electric guitar, and drums. Definitely one of my favorites.


"It is the end of all hope.
To lose the child, the faith.
To end all the innocence.
To be someone like me.

This is the birth of all hope.
To have what I once had.
This life unforgiven, It will end with a birth.

No will to wake for this morn.
To see another black rose born.
Deathbed is slowly covered with snow.

Angels, they fell first, but I'm still here
Alone as they are drawing near.
In heaven my masterpiece will finally be sung.

It is the end of all hope.
To lose the child, the faith.
To end all the innocence.
To be someone like me.

Wounded is the deer that leaps highest, and my wound it cuts so deep.
Turn off the light and let me pull the plug.

It is the end of all hope.
To lose the child, the faith.
To end all the innocence.
To be someone like me.

This is the birth of all hope.
To have what I once had.
This life unforgiven, It will end with a birth.

Mandylion without a face, Deathwish without a prayer.
End of hope, end of love, end of time. The rest is silence.

It is the end of all hope.
To lose the child, the faith.
To end all the innocence.
To be someone like me.

This is the birth of all hope.
To have what I once had.

It is the end of all hope.
To lose the child, the faith.
To end all the innocence.
To be someone like me.

It is the end of all hope.
To lose the child, the faith.
End of all hope."

Panic! At the Disco - "There's A Good Reason These Tables Are Numbered Honey. You Just Haven't Thought Of It Yet" from A Fever You Can't Sweat Out

Please, leave all overcoats, canes and top hats with the doorman.
From that moment you'll be out of place and underdressed.

Please, leave all overcoats, canes and top hats with the doorman.
From that moment you'll be out of place and underdressed.
I'm wrecking this evening already and loving every minute of it.
Ruining this banquet for the mildly inspiring and...

When you're in black slacks with accentuating, off-white, pinstripes
Whoa, everything goes according to plan.

I'm the new cancer, never looked better, you can't stand it.
Because you say so under your breath.
You're reading lips "When did he get all confident?"

Haven't you heard that I'm the new cancer?
Never looked better, and you can't stand it

Next is a trip to the, the ladies room in vain, and
I bet you just can't keep up with, (keep up) with these fashionistas, and
Tonight, tonight you are, you are a whispering campaign.
I bet to them your name is "Cheap", I bet to them you look like shh...

Talk to the mirror, oh, choke back tears.
And keep telling yourself that "I'm a diva!"
Oh and the smokes in that cigarette box on the table,
they just so happen to be laced with nitroglycerin.

I'm the new cancer, never looked better, you can't stand it.
Because you say so under your breath.
You're reading lips "When did he get all confident?"

Haven't you heard that I'm the new cancer?
Never looked better, and you can't stand it

Haven't you heard that I'm the new cancer?
I've never looked better, and you can't stand it

Haven't you heard that I'm the new cancer?
I've never looked better, and you can't stand it

And I know, and I know, it just doesn't feel like a night out with no one sizing you up.
I've never been so surreptitious, so of course you'll be distracted when I spike the punch.

And I know, and I know, it just doesn't feel like a night out with no one sizing you up.
I've never been so surreptitious, so of course you'll be distracted when I spike the punch.

And I know, and I know, it just doesn't feel like a night out with no one sizing you up.
I've never been so surreptitious, so of course you'll be distracted when I spike the punch.

8/10 - This song comes under the heading of completely random for me, and is quite difficult to really explain it -suppose it's totally deserving of being labelled as alternative.
The beat just get's into your head, and as the tempo increases it's difficult not stop your toe from tapping.

The Radio Dept - Pulling Our Weight

In time we might walk the straight line
But with memories of a grapevine
A guitar, as we came close from far
Forgot about the war
We barely touched
As if being watched

And even in time
We’ll give in to crime
We’ll be on the line
Pulling our weight

[ Lyrics found on http://www.metrolyrics.com ]

Many miles from where I’m sleeping
You share laughter in the evening
As do I, in the great divine
Yours is mine
We’ll find love
The kind we’re dreaming of

And even in time
We’ll give in to crime
We’ll be on the line
Pulling our weight

-------------------------------

I likeeeeey this song. :D Heard it on the Marie Antoinette soundtrack before it was released, because you know I'm a fangirl, and I fell in loveee with the sound. Very light and airy, kind of mysterious in the sense because of the way the singer is singing and the light sound. Roarrr, I'm being redundant.

She seemed dressed in all of me, stretched across my shame.
All the torment and the pain
Leaked through and covered me
I'd do anything ever to myself
Just to have her for myself
Now I don't know what to do, I don't know what to do when she makes me sane.

She is everything to me
The unrequited dream
A song that no one sings
The unattainable, Shes a myth that I have to believe in
All I need to make it real is one more reason
I don't know what to do, I don't know what to do when she makes me sad.

But I won't let this build up inside of me
I won't let this build up inside of me
I won't let this build up inside of me
I won't let this build up inside of me

A catch in my throat choke
Torn into pieces
I won't, nO!
I don't wanna be this...

But I won't let this build up inside of me
I won't let this build up inside of me
I won't let this build up inside of me
I won't let this build up inside of me

She isn't real
I can't make her real
She isn't real
I can't make her real
-slipknot

I really like this song by slipknot even though it's not their normal style it makes you think

if any of you like/heard this song post.

Blind Guardian - And Then There Was Silence

Turn your head and see the fields of flames

He carries along
From a distant place
He's on his way
He'll bring decay
(don't move along
cause things they will go wrong
the end is getting closer
day by day)
In shades of grey
We're doomed to face the night
Light's out of sight

Since we've reached the point of no return
We pray for starlight
We wait for the moon
The sky is empty
Alone in the unknown
We're getting nowhere

We have been betrayed by the wind and the rain
The sacred hall's empty and cold
The sacrifice made should not be done in vain
Revenge will be taken by Rome

We live a lie under the dying moon
Pale faced laughs doom
Indulges in delight

It's getting out of hand
The final curtain will fall

Hear my voice!
There is no choice!
There's no way out!
You'll find out!

We don't regret it
So many men have failed
But now he's gone
Go out and get it
The madman's head it shall be thyne
We don't regret it
That someone else dies hidden in disguise
Go out and get it
Orion's hound shines bright

Don't you think it's time to stop
The chase around the ring
Just stop running, running
Round the ring
Don't you know that fate has been
Decided
By the gods
Feel the distance
Distance
Out of reach

Welcome to the end
Watch your step, Cassandra
You may fall
As I've stumbled on the field
(Sister mine
Death's a certain thing)
Find myself in darkest places
Find myself drifting away
And the otherworld
The otherworld appears

Find myself side she dies in vain
I cannot be freed
I'm falling down
As time runs faster
Moves towards disaster
The ferryman will wait for you my dear

And then there was silence
Just a voice from the otherworld
Like a leaf in an icy world
Memories will fade

[Chorus]
Misty tales and poems lost
All the bliss and beauty
Will be gone
Will my weary soul find release for a while
At the moment of Death I will smile
It's the triumph of shame and disease
Iliad
Raise my hands and praise the day
Break the spell show me the way
In decay
The flame of Troy will shine bright

The newborn child would carry ruin to the hall
The newborn's death will be a blessing to us all

Good choice?
Bad choice?
Out of three
You've chosen misery
Power and wisdom you deny
(Bad choice, Bad choice)

War is the only answer
When love will conquer fear
So the judgement's been made
To the fairest the graceful says
Badly he fails

Warning!
Feel 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'll bring in a murderous prize

In darkness grows the seed of man's defeat
Jealousy!

I can clearly see the end now! [x3]

The thread of life is spun
The coin's been placed below my tongue

Never give up
Never give in
Be on our side
So we can win
Never give up
Never give in
Be on our side

Old moon's time is soon to come

Nowhere to run
Nowhere to hide
Nothing to lose
Like one we'll stand
We'll face the storm
Created by a man

Troy! Troy! Troy! Troy! [Continued in background]

And as the lion slaughters man
I am the wolf and you're the lamb

Hallowed Troy shall fall
Round the walls
Faith is shattered bodies fall

Nowhere to run
Nowhere to hide
Nothing to lose
Like one we'll stand
It's all for one and
One for
All
We live for will be wiped out

I feel that something's wrong
Surprise, surprise they're gone
Full moon your time goes by
And new moon still kept out of sight
We live - we die

[Chorus]
Misty tales and poems lost
All the bliss and beauty
Will be gone
Will my weary soul find release for a while
At the moment of Death I will smile
It's the triumph of shame and disease
Iliad
Raise my hands and praise the day
Break the spell show me the way
In decay
The flame of Troy will shine bright

Roam in Darkness [x6]
(Spread the vision)
(We will be lost if you truly believe)
- Troy in Darkness
There's a cold emptiness in our
hearts
That they've gone away
And wont come back

They'll tear down the wall to bring it in
They'll truly believe in the lie (Lie! Lie!)
With blossoms they'll welcome the
Old foe

The vision's so clear
When day and dream unite
The end is near
You better be prepared

Nah ahahaahahahaaa!
(Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah-nah-nah naaaaah)
The nightmare shall be over now
There's nothing more to fear
Nah ahahaahahahaaa!
(Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah-nah-nah naaaaah)
Come join in our singing
And dance with us now
Nah ahahaahahahaaa!
(Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah-nah-nah naaaaah)
The nightmare shall be over now
There's nothing more to fear
Nah ahahaahahahaaa!
(Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah-nah-nah naaaaah)
The war it is over forevermore

No hope
The blind leads the blind
Carry on
Though future's denied
Mare or stallion
There's far more inside
We are in at the kill
We'll cheerfully die

[Chorus]
Misty tales and poems lost
All the bliss and beauty
Will be gone
Will my weary soul find release for a while
At the moment of death I will smile
It's the triumph of shame and disease
Iliad

Raise my hands and praise the day
Break the spell show me the way
In decay
The flame of Troy will shine bright

Its holy light shines on

So the judgement's been made
We're condemned though the trial's
Far ahead
The crack of doom
Father
Your handsome son is heading home

Still the wind blows
Calm and silent
Carries news from a distant shore [x4]
(Heading home!) [x2]

Out of mind
Can't get it
Can't get it out of my head [x4]

First off, this song is very long with a lot of vocals and instrumental work. I think it all flows great and is definatly one of the best ballads ever. Although I guess at somepoint it can seem to be overly done or too long, but it's still great in my book. 9.5/10

"Wasted Sacrifice"
by Killswitch Engage

Trading life for life, it all must fall
It must end with us, it must end with me
Insinuations of what might be
Fight through deprivation, there will be no sleep
Heed my cry.

Because of greed and hatred, to dust we return
They will see the strength in our numbers
Only then will the self-righteous learn.

Insinuations of what might be
To the masses we mean nothing, but it starts in the hearts of the few
Witness the birth of a people, unite, renew.

There is no forever, just today
Don't let your sacrifice waste away.

Through change and purity, turn the shadows to light
Buried beneath the ashes is a passion for life.

Let there be no more of this bloodshed, heed my cry.

-------

Arguably my favorite song on their third album, and overall just some good straight American metalcore. Dynamic shifting vocals and solid instrumental harmonies.

Passenger - Rain

We got to give them someting
It is time to crawl
You go to lend us the moment
And you'll have a rewind for life

Who do we blame?
For this rain
Is this just another breakdown?
Who do we blame?
For this rain
Why dont we stop and just let go?

We got to take away something
It is time to fall
You go to lend us the moment
You're in a rewind for life

Anders can never do any wrong... It's modern metal done right, damnit. 9/10

Skye sweetnam - sharada

I absolutely love this song right now haha me and my friends are obsessed with it, no idea why. skye is hot tho haha. and its def. a different pace from our usual atreyu, alexisonfire etc tunes

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


"Sharada"

Once upon a time there was a girl
You really wouldn't call her typical
Had her own definition of cool
She lived in her own world
She had her own style her own rules
She played along like it was usual
Nobody really even knew her name
Her life was one big game

She got her head in the clouds
Sharada, Sharada
Don't know when she'll come down
Sharada, Sharada
She can't get to bed
Sharada, Sharada
She's got this song stuck in her head
(her head, her head, song stuck in her head)

Dreaming all day
That's all she did
Ever since she was a little kid
All the teacher's thought that she was slow
She was just dreaming about her show
And when they told her she's delirious
She didn't care
She's just oblivious
She likes to make everyone curious
One day she's gonna be famous

She got her head in the clouds
Sharada, Sharada
Don't know when she'll come down
Sharada, Sharada
She can't get to bed
Sharada, Sharada
She's got this song stuck in her head
(her head, her head, she's got this song stuck in her head)

She got her head in the clouds
Sharada, Sharada
Don't know when she'll come down
Sharada, Sharada
She can't get to bed
Sharada, Sharada
She's got this song stuck in her head
(her head, her head)

She got her head in the clouds
Sharada, Sharada
Don't know when she'll come down
Sharada, Sharada
She can't get to bed
Sharada, Sharada
She's got this song stuck in her head
(her head, her head, her head, her head, her head)

Band: Bad Religion
Song: Atomic Garden
Album: Generator
Notes: Damn I love this song... I've had it forever it seems. I know there are political meanings and crap behind it but y'know what? I just like the damn song. Not really much to add... Bad Religion are a good band IMO, in small doses (They do suffer from sameyness).

Everybody wants do dance in a playpen,
But nobody wants to play in my garden.
I see the hippies on an angry line,
Guess they don't get my meaning,
I'm enchanted by the birds in my blossoms,
I'm enamored by young lovers on the weekend,
I like the forth of july,
When bombs start flashing,

And I wish I had a shiny red top,
A bugle with a big brass bell would cheer me up,
Or maybe something bigger that could really go pop!
So I could make the gardening stop

Come out to play, come out to play,
And well pretend its christmas day
In my atomic garden

All my scientists are working on a deadline,
So my psychologist is working day and nighttime,
They say they know whats best for me,
But they don't know what they're doing,
And I'm glad I'm not gorbachev,
cause Id wiggle all night,
Like jelly in a pot,
At least hes got a garden with a fertile plot,
And a party that will never stop,

I hope theres nothing wrong out there,
I'm watching from my room inside my room

Evanescence - Hello - Fallen

Playground school bell rings again
Rain clouds come to play again
Has no one told you she's not breathing?
Hello I am your mind giving you someone to talk to
Hello

If I smile and don't believe
Soon I know I'll wake from this dream
Don't try to fix me, I'm not broken
Hello I'm the lie living for you so you can hide
Don't cry

Suddenly I know I'm not sleeping
Hello I'm still here
All that's left of yesterday

10/10 - Much slower than my usual taste, but it's rapidly reached the top of my 'most played' playlist. The lyrics on paper just don't do this song justice, not sure if it's Amy Lee's fanastic vocals or the excellent instrumental sections, but i find this track quite haunting in a way. Not sure if this was ever released as a single, but it should have been as it's easily the best song of the entire album

Coconut Records - West Coast

For a second there i thought you disappeared
It rains a lot this time of year
And we both go together if one falls down
I talk out loud like you're still around

No noo

And i miss you (ooooh…)
I’m goin back home to the west coast
I wish you woulda put yourself in my suitcase
I love you
Standin all alone in a black coat
I miss you
I'm goin back home to the west coast

And if you shake her heart enough she will appear
Tonight i think i'll be stayin here
And you never did like this town
I talk out loud like you're still around

No nooo

And i miss you (ooooh…)
I'm goin back home to the west coast
I wish you woulda put yourself in my suitcase
I love you
Standin all alone in a black coat
I miss you
I'm goin back home to the west coast
Come on everybody
Lalalalaaaa, lalalalaaa
Lalalalaaaa, lalalalaaa

So pack up the bags to beat back the clock
Do i let her sleep or should i wake her up
You said
We both go together if one falls down
Yeah right, heh
I talk out loud like you’re still around

No noo

And i miss you (ooooh…)
I m goin back home to the west coast
I wish you woulda put yourself in my suitcase
I love you
Standin all alone in a black coat
I miss you
I'm goin back home to the west coast
Lalalalaaaa, lalalalaaaa
I'm goin back home to the west coast
Lalalalaaaa, lalalalaaaa
I 'm goin back home to the west coast
Lalalalaa
Lalalalaa

Who would've thought Jason Schwartzman could be a good actor AND a good singer? Mmmm=MMM.

Scar Symmetry - Hybrid Cult

Follow the bloodline throughout the past
Seek and you will find a hidden ancestry
At night the circle gathers
When the world is shedding skin
The earth now stands to shatter
The ritual begins
let the ritual begin

A maelstrom of energy
Turns the air electric
Starting a synergy
The patterns all symmetric
Masks are covering their faces
Hiding the alteration
Shapeshifting in phases
Behold illumination

The silence screaming as light turns dark
Altering what's real
Awake they're dreaming
The lucid nightmares opening the gates
A light is gleaming, the blackened rain
Summoned forth this night
By the hybrid cult

Follow the bloodline throughout the past
Seek and you will find a hidden ancestry
At night the circle gathers
When the world is shedding skin
The earth now stands to shatter
Erupting from within

The silence screaming as light turns dark
Altering what's real
Awake they're dreaming
The lucid nightmares opening the gates
A light is gleaming, the blackened rain
Summoned forth this night
By the hybrid cult

Not entirely human
DNA strings anomalous
Blood of god and man
in synergy blasphemous

[Solo]

The silence screaming as light turns dark
Altering what's real
Awake they're dreaming
The lucid nightmares opening the gates
A light is gleaming, the blackened rain
Summoned forth this night
By the hybrid cult

One of the best melodic death bands ever... Period. They could make like 10 bad albums after their first two amazing releases and still be one of the best. Don't see that happening though. 10/10

MC Chris - Wiid

Weed is by my side, it's always been there
Always been there, always been there
Weed is by my side, it's always been there
Always been there, always been there
Weed is by my side, it's always been there
Always been there, always been there
Weed is by my side, it's always been there
Always been there, always been there

We're smokin' that Danger Girl
We're smokin' that Gen 13
Bong's called Yoda, man
and Yoda can't a bag filled with stems and seeds
Yo, I can't stand no ecstacy
Cocaine made a mess of me
Beer and booze are now things that I use to do
Don't misconstrue, I'm still abusin' weed
Some kids like to get ##### up
actin' black by rollin' them blunts
I got a one hitter called Margot Kidder
and I only need to hit that ##### once
'cause I ain't made of nickels and dimes
Fat kind make me tickled inside
Say no to cuttin' up lines
that's one-point-twenty-one jiggawatt jive
And I ain't no Nancy Reagan
just sayin' kinda take it slow
Say yeah to the jazz cigarette
say nil to the thrills of pills and blow
Teen years about gettin' beat down
and your twenties 'bout smokin' them pounds
Stick around for the sticky amounts
flick a Bic 'til your stuck to the couch
I'm the sativa cyborg
I smell that ##### like a wine cork
I hope they never legalize
then High Times won't have anything to fight for
I used to smoke with kids at shows
but I stopped 'cause they all had colds
but I got Emergen-C and a bag of Coldeeze
and mad trees so let's all get stoned!

Weed is by my side, it's always been there
Always been there, always been there
Weed is by my side, it's always been there
Always been there, always been there
Weed is by my side, it's always been there
Always been there, always been there
Weed is by my side, it's always been there
Always been there, always been there

After a show, you're a friend of mind
handshake with a prize inside
These are Batman Begins hallucinagens
These whammies are weaponized
LSD and shrooms, I tried them
was a time when I wouldn't deny them
All you need is one trip where you lose your #####
kiss goodbye to the sky with diamonds;
but I keep coming back like it's Atkins fat
'cause the weed's like crack cocaine
but the risk you take is just getting baked
you're surely gonna see the next day
They say we fund Al Qaeda
Sounds like the government's jealous
Let's get the enemy stoned
bring our ninjas home - to hell with Christian zealots
'cause all we need is some weed and a laid back beat
black lights if you stereotype
couple bean bag chairs and a lack of airs
a marathon of price is right
What's the 4-1-1 for realzies?
I freeze my Reese's Pieces
It's like everytime I pack a pipe
my appetite suddenly increases
You know what a cracka mean
green leaves my cractorbeam
addicted like it's gasoline, just pass the trees
while I live that cracker dream
but I might have to cease my deeds
I might have to take control
'cause I ain't down with little mc
growin' up in a cloud of my second-hand smoke

Weed is by my side, it's always been there
Always been there, always been there
Weed is by my side, it's always been there
Always been there, always been there
Weed is by my side, it's always been there
Always been there, always been there
Weed is by my side, it's always been there
Always been there, always been there

Really not my style usually, but I can relate to the music which is always nice. Some great lyrics if that makes sense if you take the time to read them and listen to them. Found to be one of my favorite smoke songs for obvious reasons.

Yes, I realize that so far the only songs I've posted are from Nightwish, but I like them, so what can I say?

Band: Nightwish
Album: Over the Hills and Far Away
Song: 10th Man Down


"Today I killed, he was just a boy
Eight before him, I knew them all
In the fields a dying oath:
I'd kill them all to save my own

Cut me free, bleed with me, oh no
One by one, we will fall, down down
Pull the plug, end the pain, run and fight for life
Hold on tight, this ain't my fight

Deliver me from this war
It's not for me it's because of you
Devils instant my eternity
Obey to kill to save yourself

(Repeat chorus)

""I envy the 9 lives that gave me hell
My path made up by their torn bodies
Man to man, soldier to soldier, dust to dust
Call me a coward but I can't take it anymore""

They wait for me back home
The live with eyes turned away
They were the first ones to see
They are the last ones to bleed

""The ultimate high as all beautiful dies
A rulers tool, priests excuse, tyrants delight...
I alone, the great white hunter
I'll march till the dawn brings me rest
10th patriot at the gallows pole!""

(Repeat chorus)"

9/10 I've listened to this song a lot lately. I mostly tune into the guitar for this one, it has some neat stuff going on occassionally. Otherwise the vocals are nice, along with everything else. And, lyric-wise, I find it to be kind of a sad, dramatic song.

Arsis - And The Blind One Came

Lugosi's child bears his namesake
Within in this monument we hide from shame, from uncontrolled emotions and untold atrocities
Be enlightened lonely angel
We're forever with you
And the blind one came in the likeness of you
And the blind one came to make timeless all that is you

Behind the walls of the is monument
Your tribute to deceit all time is lost to the innocent
Your evil they must repeat

Brutal technical melodic death metal... I've been listening to Arsis for a couple years now and they're finally starting to get recognition. They've most recently been picked up for distribution through Nuclear Blast so that's badass.

9/10

Song: "Requiem ~ Inori"
Artist: Lisa
From: Trinity Blood



Description: Just a track I discovered from the Trinity Blood anime. It's only used once or twice, but it's so appropriate for the scenes it's used in. It's a sort of "soothing," yet sorrowful song. It fits extremely well in the anime, really bringing a nice touch of emotion to the scenes it's used in.
Aside from hearing it in the anime, I occasionally loop it on Winamp, since it's just got such a mellow, relaxing sound to it. The instrumentation (which is mostly subtle strings and some low percussion) and the vocals do a nice job conveying the emotion behind the song, and the overall delivery of the track just flows very smoothly.
Been looping it while I'm at the computer, as well as while taking naps.

Rating: Uhh, crap. I hate trying to rate things... 7.5/10?

Ocean Machine - Life

My life is all that I've known
And it's all that keeps me here
My time is all that I own
So I won't let it slip away...

How long can this life go on
Who we are what we are...
I'll see you on the other side

Wouldn't you rather live it on your own
Even when it bends you over
So when it comes time to go home
You don't let them fade away...

How long can this all go on?
How long till it's over?
And how long till it all comes down?
...And how bad do we need a new reminder?

I'll see you on the other side!

I enjoy the music, its probably Townsends POPPIEST SONG EVER, but its still damn cool and has its place in the album. Really easy to listen.

Safety Dance
By: Men Without Hats

S-s-s-s A-a-a-a F-f-f-f E-e-e-e T-t-t-t Y-y-y-y
Safe, dance!

[Spoken]
We can dance if we want to
We can leave your friends behind
'Cause your friends don't dance and if they don't dance
Well they're no friends of mine
I say, we can go where we want to
A place where they will never find
And we can act like we come from out of this world
Leave the real one far behind
And we can dance

[Sung]
We can dance if we want to
We can leave your friends behind
'Cause your friends don't dance and if they don't dance
Well they're no friends of mine
I say, we can go where we want to
A place where they will never find
And we can act like we come from out of this world
Leave the real one far behind
And we can dance
Danc¨¦e!

We can go when we want to
The night is young and so am I
And we can dress real neat from our hats to our feet
And surprise 'em with the victory cry
Say, we can act if want to
If we don't nobody will
And you can act real rude and totally removed
And I can act like an imbecile

[Refrain]
I say, we can dance, we can dance
Everything out of control
We can dance, we can dance
We're doing it from wall to wall
We can dance, we can dance
Everybody look at your hands
We can dance, we can dance
Everybody takin' the cha-a-a-ance

Safety dance
Is it safe to dance
Is it safe to dance

S-s-s-s A-a-a-a F-f-f-f E-e-e-e T-t-t-t Y-y-y-y
Safe, dance!

We can dance if we want to
We've got all your life and mine
As long as we abuse it, never gonna lose it
Everything'll work out right
I say, we can dance if we want to
We can leave your friends behind
'Cause your friends don't dance and if they don't dance
Well they're no friends of mine

[Refrain]

Is it safe to dance, oh is it safe to dance [6x]
Is it safe to dance

A song from the 80's. A good party song, I guess. Fun to listen to. 9/10

Band: Arctic Monkeys

Song: Fluorescent Adolescent

Album: Favourite Worst Nightmare

Note: The new album was leaked a couple of days ago on the internet. I had some small problems getting into this album because it was so diffirent from the first album.
Anyway, now I am in love with their new album and this song is one of my favourites on the album.

You used to get it in your fishnets
Now you only get it in your night dress
Started all the naughty nights with niceness
Now you're in a very common crisis
Everything's in order in a black home
Nothing is as pretty since he passed on
That Bloody Mary's dripping in Tabasco
Remember when he used to be a rascal?

Oh that boy's a slag
The best you ever had
The best you ever had
Is just a memory and those dreams
Not as daft as they seem
Not as daft as they seem
My love when you dream them up...

Flicking through a little book of sex tips
Remember when the boys were all electric?
Now when she tells she's gonna get it
I'm guessing that she found it - just forget it
Figures for not getting sentimental
Said she wasn't going but she went still
Now she gets her fella to be gentle
Was it a knickerbocker or a betting pencil?

Oh that boy's a slag
The best you ever had
The best you ever had
Is just a memory and those dreams
Weren't as daft as they seem
Not as daft as they seem
My love when you dream them up
Oh, where did you go?
Where did you go?
Where did you go? Woah.

Falling about
You took a left off Laspark Lane
You just sounded it out
You're not coming back again.

Falling about
You took a left off Laspark Lane
You just sounded it out
You're not coming back again.

You used to get it in your fishnets
Now you only get it in your night dress
Started all the naughty nights with niceness
Now you're in a very common crisis
Everything's in order in a black home
Nothing is as pretty since he passed on
That Bloody Mary's dripping in Tabasco
Remember when he used to be a rascal?

Track-- Over My Head (Cable Car)
Artist-- The Fray
Album-- How To Save A Life

I never knew
I never knew that everything was falling through
That everyone I knew was waiting on a queue
To turn and run when all I needed was the truth
But that's how it's got to be
It's coming down to nothing more than apathy
I'd rather run the other way than stay and see
The smoke and who's still standing when it clears

Everyone knows I'm in
Over my head
Over my head
With eight seconds left in overtime
She's on your mind
She's on your mind

Let's rearrange
I wish you were a stranger I could disengage
Just say that we agree and then never change
Soften a bit until we all just get along
But that's disregard
Find another friend and you discard
As you lose the argument in a cable car
Hanging above as the canyon comes between

Everyone knows I'm in
Over my head
Over my head
With eight seconds left in overtime
She's on your mind
She's on your mind

Everyone knows I'm in
Over my head
Over my head
With eight seconds left in overtime
She's on your mind
She's on your mind

And suddenly I become a part of your past
I'm becoming the part that don't last
I'm losing you and its effortless
Without a sound we lose sight of the ground
In the throw around
Never thought that you wanted to bring it down
I won't let it go down till we torch it ourselves

And everyone knows I'm in
Over my head
Over my head
With eight seconds left in overtime
She's on your mind
She's on your mind

Everyone knows
She's on your mind
Everyone knows I'm in over my head
I'm in over my head
I'm in over...

Everyone knows I'm in
Over my head
Over my head
With eight seconds left in overtime
She's on your mind
She's on your mind

============
Bah! I've been in a crappy mood and there's only two songs I've been listening to that's making feel alittle better. One being Over My Head, kind of one of those songs that tries to brighten up your day but you still feel crap xD. But I'm giving it kicks because it's such a sweet song, the piano and acoustics make it soo soulful <3 xP.
