Skip the charades - Cold War Kids

You wait on letters
Fishing for any sign of life
Drinks after dinner
Your friends will get you to unwind

Let's skip the charades
Can we just speak plain?

I'm two left feet when
I'm home, we tap-danced on broken glass
Somehow you manage
To keep your sense of humor in tact

Let's skip the charades
You're seeing right through me anyway
Can we just speak plain?
We're playing for the same team
But I'm the one that's acting like
Acting like
Acting like
I'm so strong
You're the one that's acting like
Acting like
Acting like
Nothing's wrong

You dodged the bullet
You do your best when you're busiest
But you're disconnected
You can't find your name in the script

It was you who were wildest
It was you who floated above us all
I held on with wires
Will you come back down if I let you go?

Let's skip the charades
You're seeing right through me anyway
Can we just speak plain?
We're playing for the same team
But I'm the one that's acting like I'm so strong
You're the one that's acting like nothing's wrong
I'm the one that's acting like I'm so strong
You're the one that's acting like nothing's wrong

Can we skip the charades?
Just speak plain
Can we skip the charades?
Just speak plain
Can we skip the charades?
Just speak plain
Can we skip the charades?

My same - Adele

You said I'm stubborn and I never give in
I think you're stubborn except you're always softening
You say I'm selfish, I agree with you on that
I think you're giving out in way too much in fact
I say we've only known each other one year
You say I've known you longer my dear
You like to be so close, I like to be alone
I like to sit on chairs and you prefer the floor
Walking with each other, think we'll never match at all, but we do
But we do, but we do, but we do

I thought I knew myself, somehow you know me more
I've never known this, never before
You're the first to make out whenever we are two
I don't know who I'd be if I didn't know you
You're so provocative, I'm so conservative, and
You're so adventurous, I'm so very cautious, combining
You think we would and we do
But we do, but we do, but we do

Favouritism ain't my thing, but
In this situation I'll be glad
Favouritism ain't my thing, but
In this situation I'll be glad
To make an exception

You said I'm stubborn and I never give in
I think you're stubborn except you're always softening
You say I'm selfish, I agree with you on that
I think you're giving out in way too much in fact
I say we've only known each other one year
You say I've known you longer my dear
You like to be so close, I like to be alone
I like to sit on chairs and you prefer the floor
Walking with each other, think we'll never match at all
But we do

Bli med oss - rOlfFa

”Om en mann kan vise så mye hat…
Tenk hvor mye kjærlighet vi alle kan vise sammen.”

-Jens Stoltenberg (24.07.2011)

En fallen søster
En fallen bror
Sorg og frykt i kor

Trygt og godt i vårt fedreland
Knust til grunnen av vår egen mann

For i mørkets rom er lyset svakt
Og hjelper lite
Så om alle står med hvert sitt lys
Vil fargan gjenoppstå

En fallen søster
En fallen bror
Har det skjedd her vi bor?

Trygt og godt i vårt lille land
Står vi sammen hand i hand

For i mørkets rom er lyset svakt
Og hjelper lite
Så om alle står med hvert sitt lys
Vil fargan gjenoppstå

For i mørkets rom er lyset svakt
Og hjelper lite
Så om alle står med hvert sitt lys
Vil fargan gjenoppstå

For i mørkets rom er lyset svakt
Og hjelper lite
Så om alle står med hvert sitt lys
Vil fargan gjenoppstå

For i mørkets rom er lyset svakt
Og hjelper lite
Så om alle står med hvert sitt lys
Vil fargan gjenoppstå

Vil fargan gjenoppstå

Birdcage religion - Sleeping At Last

So slowly I’m losing
Who I’ve sworn to be
A promise in pencil
That years have made so hard to read
I’ve spent my life building walls
Brick by brick and bruise by bruise

A birdcage religion
That whispered me to sleep

But time is spinning silk
That coils ruthlessly
With the devil’s patience
It binds my hands so quietly
That soon it becomes a part of me

So soften these edges
And straighten out my tie
And help me remember
The hope that I have compromised

Please be a broken record for me

Skinned knees and gapped teeth - Dear And The Headlights

Was it a broken arm or collar bone?
It depended on the week
And me with my black eye
Stitched from head to feet
Uncomfortably happy
All skinned knees and gapped teeth

Remember summers with the speak and spell
Trying to make the robot cuss
If mother knew the words we used while she worked
She would be fuming
Cause that's not how she raised me

And when you taped over a good half of the wedding tape
I bet you never thought Thundercats could ever make me cry
You sat in disbelief
As Lion-O made plans to slay the whole wedding party
They're disco dancing to their death
Oh Ma, you just don't know it yet

And all my hand me downs are stuck to me
From all the blood I couldn't keep
Oh, such a likely scene
10 year old body face down on Rosall Street
My bike passed out on top of me

Remember how I swore I would
Pass you up in age
You just scoffed at me
Well I'm still gonna do it
Just haven't quite figured out how yet

We cornered Teddy Ruxpin and smashed his story tape
And put Guns’N'Roses in
And watched him sing along to ‘Appetite of Destruction’
Yeah he knew every word
I'm dying in the hall laughing
Oh John, you gotta turn it off

And when you taped over a good half of the wedding tape
I know you never thought Thundercats would ever be the end
You sat in disbelief
As Lion-O made plans to slay the whole wedding party
Oh John, you gotta turn it off

Tomorrow - SR-71

Is it any wonder why I'm scared?
If I was a little younger would I care?
Feeling like the walls are growing stronger
I don't know if this cage can hold me any longer

You never dreamed you'd have to live your life so guarded
Cause they'll find a way to make you feel discarded

I'm not afraid of tomorrow
I'm only scared of myself
Feels like my insides are on fire
And I'm looking through the eyes of someone else

I never thought they'd want me to go even faster
I never thought I took my foot off the gas
Everybody loves to be in on the pressure
But I know they're all waiting for the crash

You never dreamed you had to live your life so guarded
Cause they'll find a way to make you feel discarded
Things have changed, you've become a complication
You can't make it through another day's humiliation

I'm not afraid of tomorrow
I'm only scared of myself
Feels like my insides are on fire
And I'm looking through the eyes of someone else

Someone, someone, someone else
Someone, someone, someone else
Someone, someone, someone else

Is it any wonder why?
The answer keeps me petrified
Is it any wonder why I'm scared?

I'm not afraid of tomorrow
I'm only scared of myself
Feels like my insides are all on fire
And I'm looking through the eyes of someone else

I'm not afraid of tomorrow
(It is any wonder why I'm scared?)
I'm only scared of myself
(If I was a little younger would I care?)
Feels like my insides are on fire
(Feeling like the walls are growing stronger)
And I'm looking through the eyes of someone else

It is any wonder why I'm scared?

Someone, someone, someone else
Someone, someone, someone else

Under the ground - The Working Title

Maybe everyone's to blame
Cause I can't fall in love to save
All the world or anyone else
Turn on the TV and fade

Maybe it's only me

Talk to me now
Why do you run from me?
Walk up to me
Like we've never met
Break into me
I need you more than you know
Oh no, I'm under the ground

Tell me if you want to be
Lonely or if there should be
Someone else, tell me it's me
Let's run away in the rain

Maybe it should be me

Talk to me now
Why do you run from me?
Walk up to me
Like we've never met
Break into me
I need you more than you know
Oh no, I'm under the ground

My parts are falling out, it's useless
No one can save me now, I'm under
Somebody's painted house, I hear their
Surrounding voices fade, when I decide to stay

Talk to me now
Why do you run from me?
Walk up to me
Like we've never met
Break into me
I need you more than you know
Oh no, I'm under the ground

It's four in the morning
I'm naked and staring at the wall
In my lonely apartment room
And I'll swear to your beauty
I'm sorry that I'm so messed up
Don't hate me
I'm under the ground

A thread cut with a carving knife - Stars

It was a hot and sultry afternoon
Sometime at the end of June
We had collapsed ourselves in shade somewhere
To conclude our love affair
But it was too damn hot to speak that much
It felt easier to touch
So we forgot to fall apart that day
And the next day

It was a cold and endless sky above
When he decided he was through with love
The leaves were piles of skeletons
And he was only skin and bones
And then he went to the bridge so he could fall
And drop down far away from it all
But the water looked so black and deep
That he closed his eyes and he went to sleep
Til the next day

The snow fell hard from five to five
You had to drink to stay alive
But you were hoping it would kill you too
At least you'd have something changing you
Cause you were cold as the ice at your front door
You raised a trembling glass and shouted, "Fuck the war!"
And then you fell into oblivion
Lying on your bed with your shoes on
Til the next day

Baby, close your eyes until tomorrow
It could bring joy, it could bring sorrow
But it will come sure as light
Try not to dream a dream tonight
Imagine that you're standing here
And suddenly you disappear
A thread cut with a carving knife
That is what they call our life

Baby, close your eyes until tomorrow
It could bring joy, it could bring sorrow
But it will come sure as light
Try not to dream a dream tonight
Imagine that you're standing here
And suddenly you disappear
A thread cut with a carving knife
That is what they call our life

Bur oak - Bowerbirds

The room calls to me, says we’re all strung out
And the beat we both stomp on the floor
While outside the leopard frogs sing sweetly
These are the hymns that today we’ve ignored
And all across the desert, and all up in the mountains
A wind so loud that we might never mention

And here’s to my lovers hands and feet
They are the roots that will weave through the floor
And down in the dirt, in her wandering
Find the snail to give us breath, to give us words
He asks us for our patience, he asks us for our patience
And he asks us what we have done for our souls lately

Down by the bur oak tree, I had lost your locket in the loam
And there fell to my knees, beneath the coil and the brush of the fern
Down by the bur oak tree, I had lost your locket in the loam
And there fell to my knees, beneath the coil and the brush of the fern

The candles light dances across the table
And will burn at the tip of my pen
And lures all the moths into the kitchen
To spin tales and bend truths through the evening
And scribe for them their stories, we scribe for them their stories
While they wax and wax of their lives in the country

Down by the bur oak tree, I had lost your locket in the loam
And there fell to my knees, beneath the coil and the brush of the fern
Down by the bur oak tree, I had lost your locket in the loam
And there fell to my knees, beneath the coil and the brush of the fern

Adventures in solitude - The New Pornographers

Balancing on
One wounded wing
Circling the edge
Of the never-ending
The best of the vanished marvels
Have gathered inside your door

More than begin
But less than forget
But spirits born
From the not happened yet
Gathering there
To pay off a debt brought back from the wars

We thought we lost you
We thought we lost you
We thought we lost you
Welcome back

Sleeping for years
Pick through what is left
Through the pieces that fell
And rose from the depth
From the rainwater well
Deep as a secret nobody knows

Less than forget
But more than begun
These adventures in solitude never done
To the names of our wounds
We send the same blood back from the wars

We thought we lost you
We thought we lost you
We thought we lost you
It will all come back

I know you want to
Run far away from one more
And that it's coming at a bad time
Some cold place
Heartless ways
For all we know

I know you need to
Breathe through
Come back
Come too
But it's coming at a bad time
Tangled day
For all we know

I know you want to
Run far away from one more
And that's coming at a bad time
Some cold race
Heartless ways
For all we know

I know you want to
Breathe through
Come back
Come too
But it's coming at a bad time
Old scarred face
Survivor's guilt
For all we know

Starving your friends - Envy On The Coast

Thanks a lot
I've been disadvantaged from the start
You constrict the veins heading straight to my head
Rerouted the blood to my heart instead
Rerouted the blood to my heart instead

I am brain dead
Thinking strictly in blues and reds
Oh, I'm in enough trouble, man
Oh, man, I'm in trouble again
Cause everyone's ears are watching me
But I never, ever felt that this would be
Anything more than a makeshift personal IV

Cause I fall three times as hard
If it's from nothing at all
You all seem twice as tall as I will ever be
And I feel terribly small
When my head works too hard
When you think with your chest
There's not a thing that you don't see

I'm hardly capable of half the damage
That I would like to do
I could swear that I don't care
But you know I'm too full of shit to think this through
So look at me
I pray to God
But curse too much to be considered true
I'm just like me
I'm just like me
So who the hell are you?

I'm but a boy
Just like the rest of these thieves
And I borrow phrases from dusty, faded record sleeves
The story is the same
I've just personalized the name
But if it's all you need
Then I'd be more than happy to confess my shame

Cause I fall three times as hard
If it's from nothing at all
You all seem twice as tall as I will ever be
And I feel terribly small
When my head works too hard
When you think with your chest
There's not a thing that you don't see

I'm hardly capable of half the damage
That I would like to do
I could swear that I don't care
But you know I'm too full of shit to think this through
So look at me
I pray to God
But curse too much to be considered true
I'm just like me
I'm just like me
So who the hell are you?

I know you think you know
But these eyelids are windows
That shut you out from all the things
That I don't want you to know
And I refuse to tell you one single secret I own
Cause you'll find I'm petrified of your eyes

I'm hardly capable of half the damage
That I would like to do
I could swear that I don't care
But you know I'm too full of shit to think this through
I've read the book, I prayed to God
But cursed too much to be considered true
I'm just like me
I'm just like me
So who the hell are you?

Kids on the run - The Tallest Man On Earth

Oh, meet me when the morning fails on the fields of desire
Oh, meet me when I lost my part in the choir of dusk
Where the promise to lead what is right
As we both know how fields will turn white
And know I will never speak of days
Cause I know you won’t count them

No, we have never grown a day from the poison we shared
And we're walking our crooked backs home
But will we ever confess what we've done?
Guess we're still kids on the run

And no, we will never be a part of the pictures once taken
When we're feeding fire with the flames till no memories gone
And the cold sky will write us a song
But will we ever confess what we've done?
Guess we're still kids on the run

And the reflections in their eyes
Sure could paint us as killers
Oh, I'll be there

And till the terror of our time
Could forgive us as lovers
Oh, lets break some hearts

And no, I will never speak of ways
Cause I know you won’t try them
But all the weapons raining from the sky
Will be ours to embrace
And the cold sky will write us a song
But will we ever confess what we've done?
Guess we're still kids on the run

People as places as people - Modest Mouse

To answer a question
It'll probably take more
If you're already there
Well, then you probably don't know
Well, we were the people
That we wanted to know
And we're the places that we wanted to go

It's hard to get hold of
And hard to let go
Always something we look for
From the day we were born
Instead we're the people that we wanted to know
And we're the places that we wanted to go
Yeah, we're the places that we wanted to go
We're the places that we wanted to go

Always asking a question
And I don't want to know
Like the wind across strings
That had finally let go
And the people you love
But you didn't quite know
They're the places that you wanted to go

Bark at the neighbors
And then bark at the dog
Sniffing the wind
Whimpering for someone to know
But we were the people that we wanted to know
And we're the places that we wanted go
Yeah, we're the places that we wanted to go
Yeah, we're the places that we wanted to go

It was not the intention
But we let it all go
Well, it messed up the function
And sure fucked up the flow
I hardly have people that I needed to know
Cause you're the people that I wanted to know

All this scrambling around
Hunting high and then low
Looking for the face love
Or somewhere to go
I hardly have places that I need to go
Cause you're the places that I wanted to go
Yeah, you're the places that we wanted to go
Yeah, you're the places that we wanted to go

You're the people that we wanted to know
Shouldn't have to ask
You shouldn't have to ask
Cause we are your real place

Awake my soul - Mumford And Sons

How fickle my heart and how woozy my eyes
I struggle to find any truth in your lies
And now my heart stumbles on things I don't know
My weakness I feel I must finally show

Lend me your hand and we'll conquer them all
But lend me your heart and I'll just let you fall
Lend me your eyes I can change what you see
But your soul you must keep, totally free

Awake my soul
Awake my soul

How fickle my heart and how woozy my eyes
I struggle to find any truth in your lies
And now my heart stumbles on things I don't know
My weakness I feel I must finally show

In these bodies we will live, in these bodies we will die
Where you invest your love, you invest your life
In these bodies we will live, in these bodies we will die
And where you invest your love, you invest your life

Awake my soul
Awake my soul
Awake my soul
You were made to meet your maker
Awake my soul
Awake my soul
Awake my soul
And you were made to meet your maker
And you were made to meet your maker

The Wondersmith and his sons - Astronautalis

I am a soldier, baby
Who works just like a slave
Sweating through the pain of digging
His foxhole that he know is just a grave
You trust me don't you, baby?
Yeah, you'd hand your life to me
Let's walk along the wire
And watch the muzzles flash like lightning

A smile safe-crackers understand
Is rendering this steady hand, obsolete
You thought you caught my slight of hand
But you could never understand
No not me

Father was a charming man
With much hidden up his sleeve
I wonder if this is what he planned
When he taught his tricks to me
The youngest was a clever boy
Cracking calculus by three
The eldest was a practical
And obsessively clean
Then there was me

I was born a charming man
With silver tongue, pearl teeth
This is never how it's supposed to end
We're promised all we dreamed
The envy of the Everyman
Our family seemed complete
Our father was a charming man
Our mother a serene

But now I'm on the run again
This hotel's home to me
They found the other skeleton
Face down in the stream
The youngest was still tucked in bed
That way they thought he was asleep
They moved the mirror from his mouth
The fog that should remain was not to be seen
Not to be seen

I am the doctor, darling
Who used to operate
But I couldn't stand the pain of healing
Only to watch another woman waste away
You trust me don't you, baby?
Yeah, you'd hand your life to me
Let's set this barn on fire
And watch the flames eat up the roof beams

A smile safe-crackers understand
Is rendering this steady hand, obsolete
You thought I must have broken in
But there's no crime in coming in
They hand me the key

Floating on the wind again
On the tail of my quarry
On a woman weak for charming men
Who's holding what I need
She'll leave her window cracked for me
And I'll draft in like the breeze
My father was a charming man
And I learned it all from he

The brother's born a Wondersmith
We started as a team
By complimenting cogs and gears
We built a head of steam
The tragic flaw of charming men
Is exactly as it seems
Too much grease
Can break down a machine

Pour another round on me
Pour another round on me
You know I'm good for it
You know me
You know I'm good for it
You know my family

I am a lover, lady
Who sees just what you dream
I know you're going crazy
Living with him and without me
You trust me don't you, baby?
Yeah, you'd hand your life to me
Let's leave this life tonight
And race the sunrise down the highway

A smile safe-crackers understand
Is rendering this steady hand, obsolete
The charm and confidence of men
Can jam the bullets in your gun
And stop heartbeats

Built to last - Redlight King

I've been to a place so cold
It steals your soul
It takes more than hope
It takes its toll
Where the fine line begins
And heroes end
Where the naysayers pray
And the innocent sin
Where life call cause day and fortunes fade
The land sharks stay and hurt won't go away
And trouble sets in and you can't get out
Cause there's so much fear and doubt

I've been beat up and broken down
And I've been there a thousand times
I may have walked through the worst in hell, my friend
And we all got our reasons why
I get my life from the things I have
And it all flies by so fast
I may have walked through the worst in hell, my friend
Now I know I was built to last, built to last

I've been to a place so dark it breaks your heart
The devil's teeth stay sharp and they leave their mark
And everything you’ve built fucking falls apart
If you made it this far you lap at where you start
And people work hard and just get by
Can't hang your head or hold it too high
No matter what’s the stake you state your claim
And I won't live my life in vain

I've been beat up and broken down
And I've been there a thousand times
I may have walked through the worst in hell, my friend
And we all got our reasons why
I get my life from the things I have
And it all flies by so fast
I may have walked through the worst in hell, my friend
Now I know I was built to last, built to last

Built to last, built to last, built to last
Keep rolling on, there's no looking back
Keep rolling on, there's no looking back
Built to last, built to last
Keep rolling on, there's no looking back
Keep rolling on, there's no looking back

I've been beat up and broken down
And I've been there a thousand times
I may have walked through the worst in hell, my friend
And we all got our reasons why
I get my life from the things I have
And it all flies by so fast
I may have walked through the worst in hell, my friend
Now I know I was built to last, I was built to last

Built to last
Built to last
Built to last
Built to last
Built to last
Built to last

Far, far as away
Far flies ahead so fast
Far, far as away
Far flies ahead so fast
Far, far as away
Far flies ahead so fast

Life and times - Bob Mould

Small pieces of truth
Whispered on the dance floor
Lift the hazy window for a moment
Fresh air makes you nervous

Why'd you have to come around
And turn my whole world upside down?
You're wrecking me and everything
You don't even know what you're doing

The pigment of your eyes
Water color flourish moonbeam blue
The smell of your breath
Each day I get more used to your presence

You're complicating things by being here
I wasn't planning on this
Well, somehow you're getting into my parts
That piece of my heart I protect

Oh well, what the fuck?
What kicked up all this dust?
You're taking me back to the places I've left behind
The old, the old life and times

I need to find my fantastic place
The dream, don't try to take my dream away
When I grow up, I want to keep my dream
In a leather covered box with a blue velvet lining

These simple things let your heart feel
Oh, these quiet times let your heart sing

Oh, what the fuck?
What kicked up all this dust?
You're taking me back to the places I've left behind
The old life and times
The old, the old life and times

Why'd you have to come around
And turn my whole world upside down?
You're wrecking me and everything
You don't even know what you're doing

The old life and times
The old life and times
The old life and times
The old, the old life and times

Who we are - Lifehouse

Live my life around a picture
Taken when we met
Spending all of my time
Chasing your silhouette
For all we go through
I don’t wanna change you
It’s my mind running in reverse
Trying not to forget
Who we were
Where it’s at
Here we go

And we break and we burn
And we turn it inside out
To take it back to the start
And through the rise and falling apart
We discover who we are

Struggling with my thoughts
Change the locks inside my head
Reading between the lines
Of what you say, and what you said
I turn the radio on
To drown me out
Driving through the night to nowhere
Trying to forget
Who we were
And where it’s at
Here we go

And we break and we burn
And we turn it inside out
To take it back to the start
And through the rise and falling apart
We discover who we are

And it’s all
To the wind
It’s all
In our hands

It’s all to the wind
It’s all in our hands

And we break and we burn
And we turn it inside out
To take it back to the start
And through the rise and falling apart
We discover who we are

And we break and we burn
And we turn it inside out
To take it back to the start
And through the rise and falling apart
We discover who we are

Car crash - Wakey Wakey

You're flat on your face
In a field fifty feet from a burning Cadillac
At least you were thrown clear
Cause I'm still stuck in here

I take off my shoes
I let the flames crawl up and burn right through me
I'm silent as a movie
I always thought you knew me better

At least you were thrown clear
Cause I'm still stuck in here
At least you were thrown
At least you were thrown clear
I'm still stuck in here
And I'm still stuck

So now you are hurt
And you were sure I could not be hurt too
And just because you're bleeding
You think that I'm not bleeding
And just because you're full of yourself
Doesn't mean I'm not full of you

But at least you were thrown clear
Cause I'm still stuck in here
At least you were thrown clear
At least you were thrown clear
Cause I'm still stuck in here
And I'm still stuck

And so we burn silently
A silent light, a silent day
And so we burn silently
It just seems wrong

At least you were thrown
At least you were thrown clear
At least you were thrown

Goldfish - Joe Purdy

I'm leaving this morning
I'll call when I can
I'm going fishing on the Rio Grand
Tell them all I love them
I don't care what they say
Cause I'm gonna catch me a goldfish today
And I'm gonna catch me some quiet today

I went by the circus, but the doors were all closed
And the kids were all screaming for see the big show
And the clown he'd grown tired and his clothes were worm thin
He said “I don't care if I ever see this big top again”
He says “I don't mind if I never see the big top again”

I went by the church and I saw the white veil
And I remember the letter that you sent in the mail
And I wish you the best with your new fancy life
With your shiny black car and rich man by your side
With your shiny black car and rich man by your side

I'm leaving this morning
I'll call when I can
I'm going fishing on the Rio Grand
Tell them all I love them
I don't care what they say
Cause I'm gonna catch me a goldfish today
I'm gonna catch me a goldfish today

I packed all my things, and it didn't take long
I remember what you looked like when you were young
And I wanted to see you, but I knew it was wrong
So I stayed up all night drinking and singing another song
I just stayed up all night drinking and singing your songs

I'm leaving this morning
I'll call when I can
Cause I'm going fishing on the Rio Grand
Tell them all I love them
I don't care what they say
Cause I'm gonna catch me a goldfish today
Yeah, I'm gonna catch me a goldfish today
I'm gonna catch me a goldfish today

Yeah, I'm gonna catch me some quiet today

Our battles - Maria Mena

Our battles are repetitious
If not broken poetry
And maybe that's the attraction
That you're as self-absorbed as me

You jumped to the conclusion
And landed on my chest
Now how am I supposed to make you see

I'll just write this down
With hopes that you'll understand
I will no longer be disciplined by
The frustrations of an insecure man
And while I kissed your face you'll know that
I will no longer apologize for
Your former lover's mistakes

My past is mine to keep
Now who are you to question me?
Perhaps someday you'll learn
Too bad
It's not our turn

You jumped to the conclusion
And landed on my chest
Now how am I supposed to make you see

I'll just write this down
With hopes that you'll understand
I will no longer be disciplined by
The frustrations of an insecure man
And while I kissed your face you'll know that
I will no longer apologize for
Your former lover's mistakes

You set the standard for my future
You set the standard for my future (lovers)
You set the standard for my future
You set the standard for my future (lovers)
You set the standard

I'll just write this down
With hopes that you'll understand
I can no longer be disciplined by
The frustrations of an insecure man
And as I kiss your face you'll know that
I will no longer apologize
For you former lovers mistakes

I will write this down
Former lovers' mistakes

Long time coming - Maria Mena

Your patronizing stare can watch me heal
What I would give for you to take the wheel
It's been a long time coming

The strong resemblance to my mother's womb
Is the reason why I will not leave this room
It's been a long time coming

The lack of self-esteem has grown on me
I'm not as strong as I appear to be
It's been a long time coming

My lullaby sounds more like distant screams
I wake up sleep deprived after every dream
It's been a long time coming

My flesh makes little sense compared to yours
I wish my restlessness would open doors
It's been a long time coming

Person I should have been - James Morrison

I'm gonna start again
This world I painted black
Just needs some colour
And I'm gonna live my life like the other
Person I should have been

I ain't tapping out, no no no no
To this dark and twisted dream
That's kept me living
I pray to my soul
To keep this fire burning
And when it does
I'm gonna let it shine

I'll make the best of this life I've got left
Got no time for no regrets
Gonna show you just what I can be
The person I should have been

And it might take time, take time
Cause this life has taken it right out of me
I wanna change my perspective of reality
Be a much better version of me
The person I should have been

I make the best of this life I've got left
I put my sincerity to the test
Wake up my senses finally
The water washes me clean

What shouldn't have been has all been done
If I don't get a grip
Then the world has won
Making me think that I'll never be
The person I should have been

Who am I now?
A lonely man that's fallen down
No, I can't change
The past that time has all burned out
But I know somewhere inside of me
Is the person I could have been

Make the best of this life I've got left
Got no time for no regrets
Gonna show you just what I can be
The person I should have been

What shouldn't have been has all been done
If I don't get a grip
Then the world has won
Making me think that I'll never be
The person I should have been

I said the person, person I could have been
Said the person, person I could have been
The person I could have been
I said the person, person I should have been
Person I should have been

The person I could have been

Broken - Lifehouse

The broken clock is a comfort
It helps me sleep tonight
Maybe it can stop tomorrow
From stealing all my time
I am here still waiting
Though I still have my doubts
I am damaged at best
Like you've already figured out

I'm falling apart
I'm barely breathing
With a broken heart
That's still beating
In the pain
There is healing
In your name
I find meaning
So I'm holding on
I'm holding on
I'm holding on
I'm barely holding on to you

The broken locks were a warning
You got inside my head
I tried my best to be guarded
I'm an open book instead
And I still see your reflection
Inside of my eyes
That are looking for a purpose
They're still looking for life

I'm falling apart
I'm barely breathing
With a broken heart
That's still beating
In the pain (in the pain)
Is there healing?
In your name (in your name)
I find meaning
So I'm holding on (I’m still holding)
I'm holding on (I’m still holding)
I'm holding on (I’m still holding)
I'm barely holding on to you

I'm hanging on
Another day
Just to see what
You threw my way
And I'm hanging on
To the words you say
You said that I will be OK

The broken lights on the freeway
Left me here alone
I may have lost my way now
Haven't forgotten my way home

I'm falling apart
I'm barely breathing
With a broken heart
That's still beating
In the pain (in the pain)
There is healing
In your name (in your name
I find meaning
So I'm holding on (I’m still holding)
I'm holding on (I’m still holding)
I'm holding on (I’m still holding)
I'm barely holding on to you

I'm holding on (I’m still holding)
I'm holding on (I’m still holding)
I'm holding on (I’m still holding)
I'm barely holding on to you (I’m still holding)

Enden av november - Kaizers Orchestra

Vent, darling, vent meg i enden av november
Du kjenner meg ikkje igjen
For eg er ikkje meg sjøl lenger

Eg minner kanskje om meg sjøl utenpå
Men eg ser ut som en krig bak det som du kan sjå
Alt eg vil gi for å ver hos deg nå
Og la mi hånd gli gjennom ditt hår
Og min doktor sa, hey, tid er relativt
Kor lenge trur du han ga meg?
Til enden av november

Send, darling, send nogen ord til meg som fenger
Og sett av et kryss heilt i enden av november

Eg ser svart røyk i bånn av mitt stearinlys
Er det et godt tegn
Eg ser tida føyk
Eg holder heller pusten livet ut
Vinden blåser feil vei
Her er min siste sang
Nå setter eg min siste klut
Min hud er i brann
Og temperaturen stiger, til 45 i feber
I enden av november

Nå håper eg brevet kommer fram til deg i tide
Mine ord er fra hjerta, mine tanker er frie
Du må stå inne for det du får ut av livet
For det er ingen som går ut av livet i live
Som min doktor sa, hey, tid er relativt
Kor lenge trur du han ga meg?
Til enden av november

It took me by surprise - Maria Mena

I would react badly
To the slightest hint of hesitance
He’d bend awkwardly to suit my mood
No word from his defense

I’d cry knowing how my tears
Felt like acid burning through his skin
Pushed every little button
But the right one that would let me in

Now he’s afraid of me
He’s afraid of me

It took me by surprise
The hatred in his eyes
I’ve pushed this man as far as he could go
But he lacked the words to let me know
He acted out, now I can see it is my fault

I made changes that went unnoticed
Sang songs for deaf ears
He mistook my silence for punishment
As it had been all these years
I’d cry knowing how my tears
Felt like acid burning through his skin

Now he’s afraid of me
He’s afraid of me

It took me by surprise
The hatred in his eyes
I’ve pushed this man as far as he could go
But he lacked the words to let me know
He acted out, now I…

It took me by surprise
The hatred in his eyes
I’ve pushed this man as far as he could go
But he lacked the words to let me know
He acted out, now I can see it is my fault

You and me - Lifehouse

What day is it?
And in what month?
This clock never seemed so alive
I can't keep up and I can't back down
I've been losing so much time

Cause it's you and me
And all of the people with nothing to do
Nothing to lose
And it's you and me and all other people
And I don't know why
I can't keep my eyes off of you

One of the things that I want to say
Just aren't coming out right
I'm tripping on words
You've got my head spinning
I don't know where to go from here

Cause it's you and me
And all of the people with nothing to do
Nothing to prove
And it's you and me and all other people
And I don't know why
I can't keep my eyes off of you

There's something about you now
I can't quite figure out
Everything she does is beautiful
Everything she does is right

Cause it's you and me
And all of the people with nothing to do
Nothing to lose
And it's you and me and all other people
And I don't know why
I can't keep my eyes off of you

And me and all other people with nothing to do
Nothing to prove
And it's you and me and all other people
And I don't know why
I can't keep my eyes off of you

What day is it?
And in what month?
This clock never seemed so alive

Take you back - Graham Colton

Looks like history's repeating
I don't learn from my mistakes
I can't feel the water rising
A wave will always break

I want to take you back
Back to where we started
Before the lights had changed
Words we didn't get to say
Seem to hit the hardest
Now just your memory
Is all that’s ever coming back to me

Now the heart you are defending
Has guards that I can't kill
Can't you see the happy ending?
I'll race you standing still

I want to take you back
Back to where we started
Before the lights had changed
Words we didn't get to say
Seem to hit the hardest
Now just your memory
Is all that’s ever coming back to me

Did you think that you could be so far gone that I couldn't find you?
Did you think you could leave every little piece of me behind you?
Pictures in your head you won't forget reminding you of me

I want to take you back
Back to where we started
Before the lights had changed
Words we never get to say
Always hit the hardest
Now we'll never be

I want to take you back
Back to where we started
Before everything changed
Words I never got to say
Still hit me the hardest
Now just your memory
Is all that’s ever coming back

I know you're never coming back
I know you're never coming back

What crafty hobby should you take up?

You Should Take Up Photography

You are often indecisive and conflicted. You see all sides of every issue. You often prefer to observe than to take a stand. You find it more interesting to notice every detail. You need to do something to understand it. You learn best with hands-on training. You notice the little things that others just pass by. You know how to make the mundane interesting.

Are you protein, carbs or fat?

You Are Fat
You are by no means fat, but you are like fat in that you can easily absorb what's around you. You are easily influenced by both the good and bad people in your life. It's important for you to be around people you want to be like. You are a comforting and calming force. Without your presence, people feel unsatisfied. You sometimes have a reputation for being a bad influence, but you're not nearly as dangerous as you seem.

The bookstore test

You Are Dramatic
You are easily moved. You are very curious about the world around you and what's going on. You have a good memory for facts. You always are an ace at trivia. Art excites you. You try to bring it into your everyday life as much as possible. You have a few key interests that are borderline obsessions. You can't stop thinking about them!

What stage of development are you in?

You Are In Stage V

You may not be the same age as a teenager, but you are in the teenage development stage. You're still trying to figure out who you are and how you fit in with the rest of society. You tend to be attracted to all sorts of subcultures, and it feels like you're changing friends every month.You may feel like you're battling society, but the battle will be won once you feel like you can live in it without sacrificing who you are.

My, my, my - Rob Thomas

The light from the window is fading
You turn on the night
The sound from the avenue's calling you
Open your eyes

And when you find
You're spending your time
Wanting for words
But never speak
You tell yourself that the things you need come slow
But inside, you just don't know

My, my, my
Let your bright light shine
Let your words live on
Far beyond this life
Beyond this life, beyond this life

Hold on to anything
Everything's over and done
Has the fear taken over you?
Tell me, is that what you want?
To make up your life?

Time after time
You're falling behind
Hold on to me
Never leave, forever be what you mean to me right now

Don't you feel better now?

My, my, my
Let your bright light shine
Let your words live on
Far beyond this life
Beyond this life, beyond this life

Set fire to the rain - Adele

I let it fall, my heart
And as it fell, you rose to claim it
It was dark and I was over
Until you kissed my lips and you saved me

My hands, they're strong
But my knees were far too weak
To stand in your arms
Without falling to your feet

But there's a side to you
That I never knew, never knew
All the things you'd say
They were never true, never true
And the games you play
You would always win, always win

But I set fire to the rain
Watched it pour as I touched your face
Well, it burned while I cried
Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name

When I lay with you
I could stay there
Close my eyes
Feel you're here forever
You and me together
Nothing gets better

Cause there's a side to you
That I never knew, never knew
All the things you'd say
They were never true, never true
And the games you play
You would always win, always win

But I set fire to the rain
Watched it pour as I touched your face
Well, it burned while I cried
Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name

I set fire to the rain
And I threw us into the flames
Well, it felt something died
Cause I knew that that was the last time, the last time

Sometimes I wake up by the door
That heart you caught, must be waiting for you
Even now when we're already over
I can't help myself from looking for you

I set fire to the rain
Watch it pour as I touch your face
Well, it burned while I cried
Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name

I set fire to the rain,
And I threw us into the flames
Well, it felt something died
Cause I knew that that was the last time
The last time

Let it burn
Let it burn
Let it burn

Mitt lille land - Ole Paus

Mitt lille land
Et lite sted, en håndfull fred
Slengt ut blant vidder og fjord

Mitt lille land
Der høye fjell står plantet
Mellom hus og mennesker og ord
Og der stillhet og drømmer gror
Som et ekko i karrig jord

Mitt lille land
Der havet stryker mildt og mykt
Som kjærtegn fra kyst til kyst

Mitt lille land
Der stjerner glir forbi
Og blir et landskap når det blir lyst
Mens natten står blek og tyst

Mitt lille land
Et lite sted en håndfull fred
Slengt ut blant vidder og fjord

Mitt lille land
Der høye fjell står plantet
Mellom hus og mennesker og ord
Og der stillhet og drømmer gror
Som et ekko i karrig jord

Kite

With the stiff kite string
I send my heart up with it
I send it far away

Fly high in the sky
My heart also fly
Fly with all my dreams

Sarah - Kyo

Sarah elle est belle mais seulement quand elle pleure
Quand elle voit sa mere au fond d'son verre
Et ce quelle que soit l'heure
J'ai vu tellement de feux eteints dans les yeux de Sarah
Et la peur des lendemains, bien cachee dans sa voix

Alors pourquoi moi?

On peut la voir sourire parfois depuis que son pere dort
Il etait bien trop triste et bien trop fort mais depuis qu'il est mort
Sarah sait qu'il existe sous les cerisiers blancs
L'espoir d'un reve egoste de vivre seulement

Alors pourquoi moi?
Alors pourquoi moi?

J'ai eu la vie facile mais je n'servais a rien
Puis j'ai partage sa peine, aujourd'hui je suis quelqu'un
Sarah reine des femmes, devant elle je m'incline
Car je peux voir ce matin un ange dans ma cuisine

Sarah elle est belle mais seulement quand elle est nue
Le corps tendu par ses grands airs mes doigts colles a sa nuque
Sarah reine des femmes, devant elle je m'incline
Car je peux voir ce matin un ange

Un Ange

Ce soir - Kyo

Plongez en moi, je m'ouvre une dernière fois
J'ai touché le fond, j'ai perdu ma voix
Plongez en moi, elle a défié les sons
Même changé de nom pour pleurer mes larmes
J'ai tatoué mon âme
La chaleur d'une femme
J'ai appris à naître
Elle cogne dans ma tête

Ce soir, nos deux corps se mêlent
Fiers d'une étreinte parfaite
Et si elle veut la vie
Moi, je lui donne la mienne
Elle a su m'affranchir
De mes souvenirs
Nos deux corps se mêlent
Elle cogne dans ma tête

Plongez en moi, elle m'a ouvert le fond
Sa voix comme sillon pour guider mes pas
J'ai tatoué son âme
Sous ma peau glaciale
J'ai appris à naître
Elle cogne dans ma tête

Ce soir, nos deux corps se mêlent
Fiers d'une étreinte parfaite
Et si elle veut la vie
Moi, je lui donne la mienne
Elle a su m'affranchir
De mes souvenirs
Nos deux corps se mêlent
Elle cogne dans ma tête

J'irai brûler les feux, noyer vos fleuves, crever mes yeux
J'irai graver son nom, changer les saisons si elle le veut

Ce soir, nos deux corps se mêlent
Fiers d'une étreinte parfaite
Et si elle veut la vie
Moi, je lui donne la mienne
Elle a su m'affranchir
De mes souvenirs
Nos deux corps se mêlent
Elle cogne dans ma tête

Brûlez, brûlez, brûlez ce monde
Brûlez, brûlez, brûlez ce monde

Abandoned (english lyrics) - Jay Park

I remember the day
When you said to me
“Baby, I'm sorry but right now
That I just got to leave”

Then I remember you
Seeing you turn your back
Seeing you turn your back
Your lovely, lovely back, girl

How could you do me like that?
You were my world
You were my other half
You took my love and flushed it right down the drain
Now all I’m feeling is pain
And now there’s no way to save it

You’re the one who call it quits
And then just walked away
Every time I close my eyes
I could just picture your cold face
And the way you did me so wrong
It was like no other pain
I was madly in love with you
But you were just playing games

I'm usually the type to move on to the next one
Gone to the next one, but girl you’re the best one
Got me twisted, can't accept that you moved on
Girl, where have you gone, why’d your feelings go lukewarm?

I know you’re so bad for me
I’m in pain, but you just laugh at me
It’s such a tragedy
I want you back with me
Even though I know you’re bad for me

I know you’re so bad for me
I’m in pain, but you just laugh at me
It’s such a tragedy
I want you back with me
Even though I know you’re bad for me

You abandoned me straight up, like I was a warehouse
So there are a couple of things I wanted to air out

You taking that love from me
You don’t even have the common courtesy
To know that you’re hurting me
It’s so absurd to me
Baby, how could you just get up and leave?

A girl, a boy, and a graveyard - Jeremy Messersmith

Lucy takes the long way home
Meets me in a field of stone
She says; "I don't know how I'm supposed to feel
My body's cold, my guts are twisted steel


And I feel like I'm some kind of Frankenstein
Waiting for a shock to bring me back to life
But I don't want to spend my time
Waiting for lightning to strike"

So underneath the concrete sky
Lucy puts her hand in mine
She says; "Life's a game we're meant to lose.
But stick by me and I will stick by you


Cause I'm like a princess in a castle high
Waiting for a kiss to bring me back to life
But I don't want to spend my time
Waiting for just another guy"

Little bird - The Weepies

Sometimes it's hard to say even one thing true
When all eyes have turned aside
They used to talk to you
And people on the street seem to disapprove
So you keep moving away
And forget what you wanted to say

Little bird, little bird
Brush your gray wings on my head
Say what you said, say it again
They tell me I'm crazy
But you told me I'm golden

Sometimes it's hard to tell the truth from a lie
Nobody knows what's in the hold of your mind
We are all buildings and people inside
Never know who'll walk through the door
Is it someone that you've met before?

Little bird, little bird
Brush your gray wings on my head
Say what you said, say it again
They tell me I'm crazy
But you told me I'm golden

I know what I know
A wind in the trees
And a road that goes winding under
From here I see rain, I hear thunder
Somewhere there's sun, and you don't need a reason

Sometimes it's hard to find a way to keep on
Quiet weekends, holidays, you come undone
Open your window and look upon
All the kinds of alive you can be
Be still, be light, believe me

Little bird, little bird
Brush your gray wings on my head
Say what you said, say it again
They tell me I'm crazy
But you told me I'm golden

I'm golden

Death to death - Stars

Wide-eyed, grinning in the darkened room
Sipping cactus brandy from a china spoon
Coming in the morning in the afternoon, forgetting
So tired waiting for the end to come
Fully dead already, but forever young
Hello, my dearest father
It's your favourite son
There’s some things that I'm regretting

I am destroyer
I am lover
I am destroyer
I am lover
I love one thing
Destroy the other
I am destroyer
I am lover

A gypsy told my fortune then I told her hers
I said: "You'll die high in the mountains wrapped in silver furs
You'll be looking for your lover in the midnight sun
And you'll perish for your lover when the frost has begun"
I have a way of seeing and it's nearly gone
And nobody was listening so I wrote this song
And when you know the chorus you can sing along
You destroy the things you love
Even though you know it's wrong

I am destroyer
I am lover
I am destroyer
I am lover
Why love one thing and not the other?
I am destroyer
I am lover

I am destroyer
I am lover
I am destroyer
I am lover
Why love one thing and not the other?
I am destroyer
I am lover

I am destroyer
I am lover
I am destroyer
I am lover
And when I kiss I like to smother
I am destroyer
I am lover

Death to death

Sunday, 10 April 2011

The more I feel, the more my heart gets worn out.

I'm sorry for being such a disappointment to you. I'm sorry for making you angry all the time. I'm sorry for not being good enough. I'm sorry for not ever gonna be good enough. I'm sorry for not being able to depend on anyone. I'm sorry for not knowing how to trust others. I'm sorry for being different. I'm sorry for not being what you want me to be. I'm sorry for being me. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

But how can I be good enough in your eyes? You have never had to struggle with things I struggle with. You're not stupid like I am stupid. You're not as bad of a person as I am. I'm sorry for being me, but what else can I be...? And of course I can never begin to meassure up to them. They're perfect, aren't they? Their life's are good and they don't fail and they are just fucking perfect.

There so many things I wish I could tell you. But there is no possible way you can tell someone like that "I don't want to live, but I don't want to die" without being looked upon as if you're crazy. I can't do anything right. I can't think right. I am barely able to get out of bed these days. Because I need a reason for doing things. I can't continue with this no matter what because I just don't see a reason to do it. I don't know who I am anymore and I don't want to continue living a lie. But I can't tell you this. How could I ever? I know that you try your best to understand that others might feel like this. That they might struggle with this. But you've never felt it. You've never had to go through it. How can you ever understand? Already am I a big disappointment, why would I make things worse? Sometimes I just really wish I'd jumped when I was a kid. And all of these burdens that I am, you'd never have to see them or have them around.

So yes. I smile and laugh in front of you. I'm just like that in front of everyone else. But the truth is something entirely different. If you saw everything of me, everyday, all day. You might have seen that I'm not myself... If there ever really have been something completely "me". I don't sleep as much as I did before. I find it hard to fall asleep at night. I've had more nightmares these 3,5 months than I had last year all together. I cry more than I have before, rarely for any specific reason. I haven't left the house much the last one-two months. I haven't been social in a long time. I only eat one meal a day, and maybe some fruit. Not always because I'm hungry, but because I can't cut out eating all together. You'd ask questions if I stopped eating dinner.

You always look at me like that. Like you could never be more disappointed. Sometimes I wish you'd see how hard I work and how much effort I put in. Every day I put in a hell lot of work to just keep on living. But you don't see that. You never do. Never will. And I'll never tell you anything. I can never tell you anything. I will always be a black sheep. A disappointment. Someone who is never good enough. Nothing. Nothing. Nothing. Nothing. To you I'll always be nothing.

Truly, I am, sorry...

Shelter - Corrinne May

What's wrong, what's getting you down?
Was it something I might have said?
You're walking around
With your head to the ground
And your eyes are watery red

I know you've been through tough times
Kicked around, thrown to the ground
But you've always been the strong one
So don't tell me that nobody gets you
Cause I'm standing in your corner
Knocking at your door
You don't have to be alone

Just call my name
Let me be an answer
Cause it hurts me to see you this way
I wanna ease your pain
Help me understand
Let me be your shelter, my friend

We share a bond
You and I, we belong
We're like coffee and morning trains
You strip my defenses
I catch your pretenses
The same blood runs through our veins

I swore I'd be your lifeline
Made a vow that I'd surround you with love at every milestone
I'll listen when nobody gets you
I'm still standing in your corner
Waiting by your door
You don't have to be all alone

Just call my name
Let me be an answer
Cause it hurts me to see you this way
I wanna ease your pain
Help me understand
Let me be your shelter, my friend

It was not too long ago
You sought to understand
You helped me mend
Remember when
So promise me you'll

Call my name
Let me be an answer
Cause it hurts me to see you this way
I wanna ease your pain
Help me understand
Let my be your shelter, my friend

My friend

MC Sniper, Outsider & Horan - Heart Disease

the more I feel
mameul sseulsurok

the more my heart
mami hejyeo

gets worn out
darhaga

Where'd you come from, you faded sign?

Some days I wish I lived in a big city where no one would know if I disappeared. Had I suddenly stopped coming to shcool or didn't hand in my assignments or didn't show up for work. No one would care and I could just end anything like that. Just like that I could have vanished.

Some days I'm terrified at the thought that I might one day disappear, and no one will notice or miss me. That no one will ask where I went or what happened to me. No one who'd try to call my phone a couple of twenty times. Or report me missing. That I could simply leave, and not a single person would know.

I'm just a cloud floating on the vast sky. My shape changes, a bit every second, a little every minute, a great deal every day. I'm strong sometimes, I'm nothing other times, I disappear and appear and I change. I'm just a loneley cloud that sometimes care and most times don't.

Fucking perfect - Pink

Made a wrong turn, once or twice
Dug my way out, blood and fire
Bad decisions, that’s alright
Welcome to my, silly life

Mistreated, misplaced, misunderstood
Miss, no it is all good
It didn't slow me down
Mistaken, always second guessing
Under-estimated, look I'm still around

Pretty, pretty please, don’t you ever, ever feel
Like you're less than fucking perfect
Pretty, pretty please, if you ever, ever feel
Like you're nothing, you're fucking perfect to me

You're so mean, when you talk
About yourself, you were wrong
Change the voices, in your head
Make them like you instead

So complicated, look how we all make it
Filled with so much hatred
Such a tired game
It’s enough, I've done all I can think of
Chased down all my demons
Let’s see you do the same

Pretty, pretty please, don’t you ever, ever feel
Like you're less than fucking perfect
Pretty, pretty please, if you ever, ever feel
Like you're nothing, you're fucking perfect to me

The whole worlds scared, so I swallow the fear
The only thing I should be drinking is an ice cold beer
So cool in line, and we try, try, try, but we try too hard
It’s a waste of my time
Done looking for the critics, cause they're everywhere
They don’t like my jeans, they don’t get my hair
Estrange ourselves and we do it all the time
Why do we do that, why do I do that?
Why do I do that?

Oh pretty, pretty ple…

Pretty, pretty please, don’t you ever, ever feel
Like you're less than fucking perfect
Pretty, pretty please, if you ever, ever feel
Like you're nothing, you're fucking perfect to me

You're perfect, you’re perfect
Pretty, pretty please, if you ever, ever feel
Like you're nothing, you're fucking perfect to me

Is this love - Thomas Anderson

I’ve been thinking real hard
Yeah, thinking about you
Baby, lately when I’m all alone
Just about the only thing I do
And when I close my eyes
And I dream, baby, you are who I see
And when I wake up in the morning
I wonder, baby, do you dream of me?

Is this love?
Is this love?
Baby is this, is this love?

When I’m holding your hand
You know it makes me feel good
Just to walk along with you
Down the streets of my neighborhood
Cause when you’re with me, baby
This cruel world seems so kind
And every time I see you, one question
One question comes to mind

Is this love?
Is this love?
Baby is this, is this love?

Just take a look at me
And tell me, darling, what do you see?
If it ain’t love, what could it be?
Just hold me close to you
And let’s dance real slow, like lovers do
As we wonder, could this be true
Could it be true

We’re so up in the air
Just dancing on dreams
But it makes me wonder what is really there
All I know is the way it seems
Is this just wishful thinking, baby?
Are you just playing a game?
Cause now I’m feeling something
Please tell me, baby, do you feel the same?

Is this love?
Is this love?
Baby is this, is this love?

Honey and Clover

"But I realized why I was lost…
It’s not because I don’t have a map…
It’s because I don’t have a destination…"

- Takemoto Yuuta

5733.)

5733.) I feel like I don’t even have a purpose anymore. Like, I wake up, I eat, I breathe, I sleep, and I repeat it every day. I fuck things up and it’s insane, how much I fuck things up. I spend life wishing I were someone else, but I can never just be happy being me. I’m so sick of this boring shit. Is anyone out there?

The Year Of The Ram

1919, 1931, 1943, 1955, 1967, 1979, 1991, 2003

People born in the Year of Ram are elegant and highly accomplished in the arts. They seem to be, at first glance, better off than those born in the zodiac’s other years. But ram year people are often shy, pessimistic, and puzzled about life. They are usually deeply religious, yet timid by nature. Sometimes clumsy in speech, they are always passionate about what they do and what they believe in. Ram people never have to worry about having the best in life for their abilities make money for them, and they are able to enjoy the creature comforts that they like. Ram people are wise, gentle, and compassionate. They are compatible with Rabbits, Pigs, and Horses.

A line allows progress, a circle does not - Bright Eyes

Sitting around, no work today
Try pacing to keep awake
Lying around, no school today
Just drink until the clock has circled all the way

It is late afternoon
As you walk through the rooms
Of a house that is quiet
Except for unanswered telephones

You stand near the sink
While you're mixing a drink
You think you don't want to pass out
Where your roommates will find you again

Stumble around the neighborhood with nothing to do
You're always looking for something
To sniff, smoke, or swallow
Calling over next door to see what they got
But you would settle for anything
That would make your brain slow down or stop
Break this circle of thoughts you chase
Before they catch back up with you

And your parents noticed your thinning face
All the weight you lost
All the weight you are losing
You said, "I'm done feeling like a skeleton
No more sleep walking dead"
You're going to wake from this coma
You're going to crawl from this bed you have made

And stop counting on that camera
That hangs round your neck
Because it won't ever remember
What you choose to forget

As you try to find some source of light
Try to name one thing you like
You used to have such a longer list
And light you never had to look for it

But now it's so easy to second guess everything you do
Until all you want is to finish this half empty glass
Before the ice melts away
And this feeling used to pass
But seems like it's every day
Seems like it’s every night now

90 meters bakken - Di Derre

Hoppkanten nærmer seg, jeg satser, så er alt borte
Flomlyset ble slått av og min første tanke er
"Nå har jeg gjort det!"
Stiv av skrek, min strake kropp skriker ett stille "Stopp!"
Jeg skulle aldri begynt med hopp, men stavsprang
Og jeg som ikke torte

Her er så mørkt som i en grav og alt jeg ser er byen i det fjerne
Er det noen der i kveld som har det leit så bytter jeg gjerne
Selv er jeg på full fart ned, en hopper er jo ofte det
Men som regel kan en hopper se
Og alt jeg ser er en og annen stjerne

Vår tanke går i kveld til dem som mistet lyset midt i
Satsøyeblikket, for dem som synes alt gikk skitt, i
Nitti, i nitti, i nitti meters bakken

Snefnugg fyker fort forbi, jeg kjenner luften mot mitt ansikt strømme
Men ingen ser mitt hopp i kveld, så jeg hopper bakken ned i drømmen
I kveld så er jeg mesteren, Weißflog, Ploc og Nykänen
Ikke sistemann i treningsrenn
Hvor fatter'n kom og ble satt til å dømme

Et treningsrenn en vinterkveld, strømmen går og flomlyset forsvinner
På hoppkanten så satser han, en redd, ung mann og ingen typisk vinner
Ingen har ham siden sett
Han forsvant i svevet rett og slett
Så faren hans fikk endelig rett
At nordmann hopper lenger enn finner

Vår tanke går i kveld til dem som mistet lyset midt i
Satsøyeblikket, for dem som synes alt gikk skitt, i
Nitti, i nitti, i nitti meters bakken

Just one - Hoobastank

I wanna live
I wanna leave
I wanna open up and breathe
I wanna go
I wanna be
I wanna feel it constantly
Gotta show
Gotta stay
I've gotta feeling that won't go away
I've gotta know
If they got away
My opportunities

Just one
Chance is all I ever wanted
Just one
Time I'd like to win the game
From now on
I'd take the chance if I can have it
Just one, just one

I need to think
I need to feed
I need to see if I still bleed
I need a place
I need a time
Cause I need to step outside that line
Gonna give
Gonna take
I'm gonna scream till I'm awake
I'm gonna push
I’m gonna pull
Open up the door

Just one
Chance is all I ever wanted
Just one
Time I'd like to win the game
From now on
I'd take the chance if I can have it
Just one, just one

And if I knew
When the door was open
I'd go through
I would go on through
And I can say
What I do won’t ever be the same
Never be the same

Just one
Chance is all I ever wanted
Just one
Time I'd like to win the game
From now on
I'd take the chance if I can have it
Just one, just one

Just one
I'd take the chance if I can have it
Just one
I'd take the chance if I can have it
Just one
I'd take the chance if I can have it
Just one, just one

30 minutes - t.A.T.u

Mama, Papa, forgive me

Out of sight, out of mind
Out of time to decide

Do we run?
Should I hide?
For the rest of my life

Can we fly?
Do I stay?
We could lose
We could fail

In the moment it takes
To make plans or mistakes

30 minutes, a blink of an eye
30 minutes, to alter our lives
30 minutes, to make up my mind
30 minutes, to finally decide

30 minutes, to whisper your name
30 minutes, to shoulder the blame
30 minutes, of bliss, thirty lies
30 minutes, to finally decide

Carousels in the sky
That we shape with our eyes

Under shade
Silhouettes
Casting shade
Crying rain

Can we fly?
Do I stay?
We could lose
We could fail

Either way, options change
Chances fail, trains derail

30 minutes, a blink of an eye
30 minutes, to alter our lives
30 minutes, to make up my mind
30 minutes, to finally decide

30 minutes, to whisper your name
30 minutes, to shoulder the blame
30 minutes, of bliss, thirty lies
30 minutes, to finally decide

To decide
To decide, to decide, to decide

To decide
To decide, to decide, to decide

To decide

Black, black heart - David Usher

Something ugly this way comes
Through my fingers, sliding inside
All these blessings, all these burns
I'm godless underneath your cover
Search for pleasure, search for pain
In this world now I am undying
I unfurl my flag, my nation helpless

Black, black heart, why would you offer more?
Why would you make it easier on me to satisfy?
I'm on fire, I'm rotting to the core
I'm eating all your kings and queens
All your sex and your diamonds

As I begin to lose my grip
On these realities you’re sending
Taste your mind and taste your sex
I'm naked underneath your cover
Covers lie and we will bend and borrow
With the coming sign
The tide will take, the sea will rise and time will rape

Black, black heart, why would you offer more?
Why would you make it easier on me to satisfy?
I'm on fire, I'm rotting to the core
I'm eating all your kings and queens
All your sex and your diamonds

Black, black heart, why would you offer more?
Why would you make it easier on me to satisfy?
I'm on fire, I'm rotting to the core
I'm eating all your kings and queens
All your sex and your diamonds
All your sex and your diamonds
All your sex and your diamonds
All your sex and your diamonds
All your sex and your diamonds

Enough - Tyrone Wells

All the walls just fall away
Feeling stronger every day
I can see it in your eyes
When you laugh, when you cry

This is more than summer wind
This is nowhere I have been
You have made me unafraid
Just to stay

If all I heard was your promise
And all you felt was my touch
If all we had was each other
We'd have enough, enough

All the drifting, wounded hearts
Wish for love on distant stars
I was lost so many years
Now I'm found cause you are here

So just look at me again
Cause now you're my everything
I could never ask for more
So it's enough, yeah it's enough

If all I heard was your promise
And all you felt was my touch
If all we had was each other
We'd have enough, enough

I've been holding on for so long
To all these static dreams
But now I know I can let them go
I don't need anything

If all I heard was your promise
And all you felt was my touch
If all we had was each other
We'd have enough

If all I heard was your promise
And all you felt was my touch
If all we had was each other
We'd have enough

If all we had was each other
We'd have enough, enough

Oh, it's enough
Yeah, it's enough

All broken hearts - Tyrone Wells

In just one moment I was gone
I always thought that I was strong
This hole inside me is the deepest canyon

I'm shattered pieces all alone
And I can't make it on my own
I hear a melody come soft and slowly

Hallelujah, a whisper in the dark
Hallelujah, it's tearing me apart
Hallelujah, all broken hearts

We hear it in a quiet song
We feel it in a mother's arms
When we can't find the words, its hallelujah

And when I close my eyes in death
When I breathe my final breath
The last word upon my tongue is hallelujah

Hallelujah, a whisper in the dark
Hallelujah, it's tearing me apart
Hallelujah, all broken hearts

When my soul has finally flown
The moment I am welcomed home
The first song that I will sing is hallelujah

Hallelujah, a whisper in the dark
Hallelujah, it's tearing me apart
Hallelujah, all broken hearts

Hallelujah, a whisper in the dark
Hallelujah, it's tearing me apart
Hallelujah, all broken hearts

More - Tyrone Wells

Sometimes I get so tired
Just trying to find a place
To lay my head
I look up to the sky
I feel the warmest light comfort me

I've seen the great heights
Reminding me I'm alive

I don't wanna die
I don't wanna waste another day or night
I know there's something more
Than what we're living for
I see it in the stars
I feel it on the shores
I know there's something
I know there's something more

I think we're all afraid
That we might be alone
Alone down here
We all want to have some faith
At least that's true in my case
To just believe

I've seen the great heights
Reminding me I'm alive

I don't wanna die
I don't wanna waste another day or night
I know there's something more
Than what we're living for
I see it in the stars
I feel it on the shore
I know there's something

This world may crumble
Into the ocean
It could all end tonight
I undermined you
Then try to find you
My only source of light

There breathing
I am breathing
I am alive

I don't wanna die
I don't wanna waste another day or night
I know there's something more
Than what we're living for
I see it in the stars
I feel it on the shore
I know that I'm alive

I don't wanna die
I don't wanna waste another day or night
I know there's something more
Than what we're living for
I see it in the stars
I feel it on the shore
I know there's something more

The kids from yesterday - My Chemical Romance

And now this could be the last of all the rides we take
So hold on tight and don't look back
We don't care about the message or the rules they make
We'll find you when the sun goes black

And you want to live forever in the lights you make
When we were young we used to say
"That you only hear the music when your heart begins to break"
Now we are the kids from yesterday

All the cameras watch the accidents and stars you hate
They only care if you can bleed
Does the television make you feel the pills you ate?
Or every person that you need to be?

Cause you wanna live forever in the lights you make
When we were young we used to say
"That you only hear the music when your heart begins to break"
Now we are the kids from yesterday

Today, today
We are the kids from yesterday
Today, today

We're young the world stopped breathing
Yeah we left 'til your heart stops beating

Cause you wanna live forever in the lights you make
When we were young we used to say
"That you only hear the music when your heart begins to break"
Now we are the kids from yesterday
We are the kids from yesterday
We are the kids from yesterday
We are the kids from yesterday
Today, today

Does the television make you feel the pills you ate? Or every person that you need to be?

I know that I'm trying my hardest at doing everything. But I also know I'm not doing enough. Cause I know I should, but I just can't find any will to do school work. I know I should talk to my friends, but I don't have anything to say. Not that I have many friends either.

I had many before we moved some years ago. Then I started at a new school and struggled to fit in, yet I had many friends. Changed school's again and stopped trying. Graduated from that school and took two friends with me. Started school anew and only got along with my classmates, didn't even want to make friends with them. And I changed school's again and got loads of new friends, then I left that school and lost those friends. And recently a long time friend of mine, I can't find a reason for us to be friends. I'm constantly frustrated with how that person is. We don't hang out and we don't have anything to talk about. I got tired of doing all the work with our friendship, and once I stepped down, it died out. Makes me doubt she ever even wanted to be friends with me really. But it's fine, I'm done playing around.

I should work harder at school. I should work harder at home. I should work harder at everything. I know I work hard, and I also know that I don't have a spirit anymore. Everything about me is hollow and empty and missing. I don't see myself becoming anything cause I don't know what career I want. I don't see myself working anywhere. I don't see myself doing anything. I don't see myself ever being alive again. I'm so empty. Looking back on the last couple of weeks, did I even have one meaningful, decent conversation? Did I say something that wasn't obvious? Did I make up an opinion about something? What have I been doing these last couple of months? Looking back on photographs I took of myself, glass eyes showing a hollow soul. I find it hard to connect with people lately. I don't feel much sympathy for anyone. I don't relate well to their stories. Distance is growing longer, relationships only get colder. I'm young, there's so much I'm supposed to do, so much to see, so much to experience and live. Yet, I can barely find it in me to get up every morning. The days have no purpose and all that I'm lacking makes it a hundred times more uncomfortable around people, and I already have social anxiety. Or. Well. Some part of me tries so hard to care. Then the stronger part of me is indifferent to everything. I'm not making sense anymore.

I don't know why I am the way I am. If you want me to explain it, I can. Lately I've become good at lying to others. And I hate liars more than anything. Yet I just can't stop the lies from slipping off my own tongue. Can't control my mind enough to keep the lies from forming. And once I've said something, I just can't find it in myself to say it was a lie or apologize.


Mood: Blah
Music: G.O.O.D. LUV - MBLAQ

You only hear the music when your heart begins to break

Have you ever thought that if just one thing in your life had happened differently, you’d be someone else today? Just one thing and you would be a completely different version of yourself.

I think about it sometimes. I don’t think about my entire life, just one incident. I keep wondering that, had we never moved back to Alta (my hometown) many years ago, who would I be today? Would I still have the same best friend today as I did that time? Would I be one of the people I’ve come to dislike over the years? Would I have kept playing handball and gotten good at it? Would I study properly like I used to, like them, and graduated from school with great or at least decent grades? Hadn’t we moved, would I be someone determined and would I know what career to pursue? Would I be a ‘normal’ person and would my perspective be like everyone else’s? Not sticking out at all.

Or would I still become who I am today? The girl I was best friends with, would our friendship go sour and I’d end up as an outcast despite that I never was before? Would I befriend the same type of crazy people that I’ve befriended after we moved? Would I become a sarcastic, annoying, arrogant, self-conscious, anxious, introverted, cold, withdrawn, polite, shy, ironic, opinionated, angry person even if we never moved from that place? Would I still not know what to do of myself? Would I start liking all the things I like today, Japan, J-rock, K-pop, piercings, tattoos, art, books, movies, and such? Would I want to be more a boy than a girl?

If just that one incident had never occurred, or had it happened later. Would I have been a different person than who I am today? Or am I destined to be the way I am not matter what happens and how it happens? Am I me because this is how I'm supposed to be?


Mood: Hungry
Music: So far away - Staind

So far away - Staind

This is my life
It’s not what it was before
All these feelings I’ve shared
And these are my dreams
That I’ve never lived before
Somebody shake me
Cause I, I must be sleeping

And now that we're here
So far away
All the struggle we thought was in vain
And all the mistakes
One life contained
They all finally start to go away
And now that we're here it’s so far away
And I feel like I can face the day
I can forgive
And I’m not ashamed
To be the person that I am today

These are my words
That I’ve never said before
I think I’m doing ok
And this is the smile
That I’ve never shown before
Somebody shake me
Cause I, I must be sleeping

And now that we’re here
So far away
All the struggle we thought was in vain
And all the mistakes
One life contained
They all finally start to go away
And now that we’re here, so far away
And I feel like I can face the day
I can forgive
And I’m not ashamed
To be the person that I am today

I'm so afraid of waking
Please don't shake me
Afraid of waking
Please don’t shake me

And now that we’re here
So far away
All the struggle we thought was in vain
And all the mistakes
One life contained
They all finally start to go away
And now that were here, so far away
And I feel like I can face the day
I can forgive
And I’m not ashamed
To be the person that I am today

Poison oak - Bright Eyes

Poison oak, some boyhood bravery
When a telephone was a tin can on a string
And I fell asleep with you still talking to me
You said you weren't afraid to die

In polaroids you were dressed in women's clothes
Were you made ashamed, why'd you lock them in a drawer?
Well, I don't think that I ever loved you more

Then when you turned away
When you slammed the door
When you stole the car
And drove towards Mexico
And you wrote bad checks
Just to fill your arm
I was young enough, I still believed in war

Well, let the poets cry themselves to sleep
And all their tearful words will turn back into steam

But me, I'm a single cell
On a serpents tongue
There's a muddy field where a garden was
And I'm glad you got away
But I'm still stuck out here
My clothes are soaking wet
From your brother's tears

And I never thought this life was possible
You're the yellow bird that I've been waiting for

The end of paralysis
I was a statuette
Now I'm drunk as hell on a piano bench
And when I press the keys
It all gets reversed
The sound of loneliness makes me happier

Hopeless - Train

I hopelessly, helplessly, wonder why
Everything gotta change around me
I'd tell it to your face
But you lost your face along the way
And I'd say it on the phone
If I thought you were alone
Why do things have to change?

But you don't need my pictures on your wall
You say you need no one
And you don't need my secret midnight call
I guess you need no one
Is anybody waiting at home for you?
Cause it's time that will tell, if it's heaven, if it's hell or if it's
Anybody waiting at home for you
Cause it's time that will tell this tale

You're in and out, up and down
Wonder if you're lost or found
But I got my hands on you
Are you strong enough to toe the line?
Are you gonna make me yours?
Or do I make you mine?
I'm in and out, I'm up and down
Wonder if I'm lost or found
But I need your hands on me now

But you don't need my pictures on your wall
You say you need no one
And you don't need my secret midnight call
I guess you need no one
Is anybody waiting at home for you?
Cause it's time that will tell, if it's heaven, if it's hell or if it's
Anybody waiting at home for you
Cause it's time that will tell this tale

(Anybody waiting at home?)

I hopelessly, helplessly, wonder why

(Is anybody waiting at home?)

Everything gotta change

Losing ground - Tyrone Wells

Seems like a riddle
How do people move on?
When everything has gone wrong?

Oh, and where did it come from?
How can it be so strong?
How does the rain fall for so long?
So long

Something tripped me, took my legs out
Thought I could fix it, repair it, climb over it
I'm so scared, I need you to hold me down
Hold me down, I'm losing ground

Seems like a battle
How can anyone ever win?
How can we start over again?

Sometimes I say I'd like you better
If you were only a little bit stronger
But I know I'm talking to me
When I'm talking to you
So what are we gonna do?

Something tripped us, took our legs out
Thought we could fix it, repair it, climb over it
I'm so scared, need you to hold me down
Hold me down, I'm losing ground, oh
Losing, losing ground

Something tripped me, took my legs out
Thought I could fix it, repair it, climb over it
Something tripped me, took my legs out
Thought I could fix it, repair it, climb over it

I'm so scared, I need you to hold me down
Hold me down, hold me down, I'm losing ground
Hold me down, hold me down, I'm losing ground

Perfect stranger - Jason Tsou

Dive from the blue sky
To see who I really am
Facing my desire
With the answer
To start again, be brave again

What will stop in my way?
Who will challenge the fate?
The test of pain and rack
Are we living in circus?
Cause I’ll beat up my curse
Cause I’m sure we’ll take the race

Give my beat alive
Holding my will
I’ve never met someone like you
Take my breath away
Cause I’m blind in your smile
Using tears burying the lie

Oh, Pretty Stranger
Rock my soul and world
With a gentle kiss
Fly, making me fly
To eternal
Oh, once again, the love we make
Until the sun has arisen
Our life will bond together
Oh mine, perfect stranger

Would you dream about me?
Could you spend time with me?
I crave for your lip life time
Breathing in frozen fever
Standing in burning winter
All the misery, need you by my side

Give my beat alive
Now seize the time
Defeat the weak and break my runaway
Take my breath away
Cause I’m conquered by your eyes
And I am losing all my mind

Oh, Pretty Stranger
Rock my soul and world
With a gentle kiss
Fly, making me fly
To eternal
Oh, once again, the love we make
Until the sun has arisen
Our life will bond together
Oh mine, perfect stranger

Give my beat alive
Now seize the time
Defeat the weak and break my runaway
Take my breath away
Cause I’m conquered by your eyes
And I am losing all my mind

Oh, Pretty Stranger
Rock my soul and world
With a gentle kiss
Fly, making me fly
To eternal
Oh, once again, the love we make
Until the sun has arisen
Our life will bond together

Oh, Pretty Stranger
Rock my soul and world
With a gentle kiss
Fly, making me fly
To eternal
Oh, once again, the love we make
Until the sun has arisen
Our life will bond together
Oh mine, perfect stranger
