Påfugl - Karpe Diem feat. Maria Mena

Den grå hoodien min har matcha med sørpen
Betongen her er følelsesløs
Og blokkene vi bor i er kvalt i tåke
Men jeg er en påfugl
Men jeg er en påfugl
Men jeg er en påfugl
Men jeg er en påfugl

Pappa hadde en flyktningbolig, dårlig råd
Og nå har søstera mi kåk oppi Holmenkollen
Det er måten jeg er på
Gråter når jeg er grå
Og jeg er rå på måten kråker leker påfugler på, kra
Jeg ser turbanene på broren min
Hun lille med hijab som gruer seg til skolen sin
Jeg ser mamma og pappa, og jeg elsker begge selv om
Jeg date'a en hvit chick og ting fløy veggimellom
Mamma sa: "Det er en rase- og kasteting"
Det gjør deg rasende, raser og kaster ting
Jeg setter folka mine under baldakinen
For å ha hustla, aldri hasta for å passe inn
Disse svartingene vet dette stemmer, man
Vi er det eneste bandet som kan være stemmen dems
Vennegjengen min er en pose Non-Stop og M&Ms
Og alle har pengene ved tenna dems

Den grå hoodien min har matcha med sørpen
Betongen her er følelsesløs
Og blokkene vi bor i er kvalt i tåke
Men jeg er en påfugl
Men jeg er en påfugl
Men jeg er en påfugl
Men jeg er en påfugl

Fordi en jævel hata påfugler
Tok den jævelen med seg grå kuler
Og det er’ke første gang jeg står på en scene
Men de på første rad er overlevende
Til en påfugl
Gråt til du får det ut
For venna mine er Non-Stop
Men lillebror er påfugl på stedet der jeg vokste opp
Han gråter i det stille
Og byen vår har fått bikiniskille
Annerledes, finner du ikke drømmene til en pjokk
Jeg lagde midtskill ut av krøllene med voks
Han gjorde det samme i fjor, han gjemte et fargekart
Men når det barnet er stort, så ser det halen bak
Så man skal bære stolt det bildet byen hans har malt
Samme hva du tenkte timen etter at det smalt

Den grå hoodien min har matcha med sørpen
Betongen her er følelsesløs
Og blokkene vi bor i er kvalt i tåke
Men jeg er en påfugl
Men jeg er en påfugl
Men jeg er en påfugl
Men jeg er en påfugl

So sorry - Feist

"I'm sorry"
Two words I always think
After you've gone
When I realize I was acting all wrong

"So selfish"
Two words that could describe
Oh, actions of mine
When patience is in short supply

We don't need to say goodbye
We don't need to fight and cry
Oh we, we could hold each other tight tonight

We're so helpless
We're slaves to our impulses
We're afraid of our emotions
And no one knows where the shore is
We're divided by the ocean
And the only thing I know is
That the answer isn't for us
No, the answer isn't for us

"I'm sorry"
Two words I always think
Oh, after you've gone
When I realize I was acting all wrong

We don't need to say goodbye
We don't need to fight and cry
We, we could, we could hold each other tight tonight
Tonight
Tonight
Tonight
Tonight

From the sky - Peter Bradley Adams

Are you tired from the battles fought?
All the years that you won or lost?
Are you tired and shaken from it all?

Are you scared that you'll lose control?
As you cling to the words you know?
In the silence you start to lose your hope
In the silence you dream of letting go

And maybe the clouds will open wide
And maybe you'll let us see you smile
From the sky

There's a sound as your breathing slows
As the stillness around you grows
There's a sound that you have always known
There's a sound familiar to your bones

And maybe the clouds will open wide
And maybe you'll let us see you smile
From the sky, from the sky

Now an emptiness fills the room
There's nothing left now for you to do
You can go, someone calls for you
You can go, to the arms that you once knew
You can go, they're open wide for you

I grieve - Peter Gabriel

It was only one hour ago
It was all so different then
Nothing yet has really sunk in
Looks like it always did
This flesh and bone
It's just the way that we had tied in
There's no-one home

I grieve for you
You leave me
So hard to move on
Still loving what's gone
They say life carries on
Carries on and on and on and on

The news that truly shocks
Is the empty, empty page
While the final rattle rocks
It's empty, empty cage
And I can't handle this

I grieve for you
You leave me
Let it out and move on
Missing what's gone
They say life carries on
They say life carries on and on and on

Life carries on
In the people I meet
In everyone that's out on the street
In all the dogs and cats
In the flies and rats
In the rot and the rust
In the ashes and the dust
Life carries on and on and on and on
Life carries on and on and on
Life carries on and on and on and on
Life carries on and on and on

It's just the car that we ride in
A home we reside in
The face that we hide in
The way we are tied in
As life carries on and on and on and on
Life carries on and on and on

Did I dream this belief?
Or did I believe this dream?
Now I will find relief
I grieve

Youth - Daughter

Shadows settle on the place that you left
Our minds are troubled by the emptiness
Destroy the middle, it's a waste of time
From the perfect start to the finish line

And if you're still breathing, you're the lucky ones
Cause most of us are heaving through corrupted lungs
Setting fire to our insides for fun
Collecting names of the lovers that went wrong
The lovers that went wrong

We are the reckless
We are the wild youth
Chasing visions of our futures
One day we'll reveal the truth
That one will die before he gets there

And if you're still bleeding, you're the lucky ones
Cause most of our feelings, they are dead and they are gone
We're setting fire to our insides for fun
Collecting pictures from the flood that wrecked our home
It was a flood that wrecked this home

And you caused it
And you caused it
And you caused it

Well, I've lost it all, I'm just a silhouette
A lifeless face that you'll soon forget
My eyes are damp from the words you left
Ringing in my head, when you broke my chest
Ringing in my head, when you broke my chest

And if you're in love, then you are the lucky one
Cause most of us are bitter over someone
Setting fire to our insides for fun
To distract our hearts from ever missing them
But I'm forever missing him

And you caused it
And you caused it
And you caused it

Got nuffin' - Spoon

When I'm with you, all my brothers
I feel like a king
It feels like I'm dreaming

When that blood goes rattling through my veins
My ears start to ring
I notice what matters

And I got nothing to lose
But darkness and shadows
Got nothing to lose
But bitterness and patterns

When I can't find the way to reach you my love
I'm just not the same
Just the same

When I know you're watching out for me
I know what I'm knowing
I can see what matters

And I got nothing to lose
But darkness and shadows
Got nothing to lose
But emptiness and hang-ups

Oh, when I know you're watching out for me
I look for what matters
And I notice what matters

And I got nothing to lose
But darkness and shadows
Got nothing to lose
But loneliness and patterns

The flowers blooming
The trains collide
I don't got a thing to lose

Elsewhere - Sarah McLachlan

I love the time and in between
The calm inside me
In the space where I can breathe
I believe there is a distance I have wandered
To touch upon the years of
Reaching out and reaching in
Holding out, holding in

I believe this is heaven to no one else but me
And I'll defend it as long as I can be
Left here to linger in silence
If I choose to would you try to understand?

I know this love is passing time
Passing through like liquid
I am drunk in my desire
But I love the way you smile at me
I love the way your hands reach out, hold me near
I believe

I believe this is heaven to no one else but me
And I'll defend it as long as I can be
Left here to linger in silence
If I choose to would you try to understand?

Oh the quiet child awaits the day when she can break free
The mold that clings like desperation
Mother can't you see I've got to live my life the way I feel is right for me
Might not be right for you, but it's right for me
I believe

I believe this is heaven to no one else but me
And I'll defend it as long as I can be
Left here to linger in silence
If I choose to would you try to understand?

I would like to linger here in silence
If I choose to
Would you understand it?
Would you try to understand?

Come home - Onerepublic

Hello world, hope you're listening
Forgive me if I’m young, for speaking out of turn
There’s someone I’ve been missing
I think that they could be the better half of me
They’re in the wrong place, trying to make it right
But I’m tired of justifying
So I say to you...

Come home, come home
Cause I’ve been waiting for you
For so long, for so long
And right now there's a war between the vanities
But all I see is you and me
The fight for you is all I‘ve ever known
So come home

I get lost in the beauty of everything I see
The world ain’t as half as bad as they paint it to be
If all the sons, if all the daughters, stopped to take it in
Well, hopefully the hate subsides and the love can begin
It might start now
Well, maybe I’m just dreaming out loud
Until then...

Come home, come home
Cause I’ve been waiting for you
For so long, for so long
And right now there's a war between the vanities
But all I see is you and me
The fight for you is all I‘ve ever known, ever known
So come home

Everything I can’t be
Is everything you should be
And that’s why I need you here
Everything I can’t be
Is everything you should be
And that’s why I need you here
So hear this now...

Come home, come home
Cause I’ve been waiting for you
For so long, for so long
And right now there's a war between the vanities
But all I see is you and me
The fight for you is all I‘ve ever known, ever known
So come home

Come home

Collide - Howie Day

The dawn is breaking
A light shining through
You're barely waking
And I'm tangled up in you

I'm open, you're closed
Where I'll follow you'll go
I worry I won't see your face
Light up again

Even the best fall down sometimes
Even the wrong words seem to rhyme
Out of the doubt that fills my mind
I somehow find, you and I collide

I'm quiet you know
You make a first impression
I've found I’m scared to know
I'm always on your mind

Even the best fall down sometimes
Even the stars refuse to shine
Out of the back you fall in time
Somehow find, you and I collide

Don't stop here
I lost my place
I'm close behind

Even the best fall down sometimes
Even the wrong words seem to rhyme
Out of the doubt that fills your mind
You finally find, you and I collide
Finally find, you and I collide
You finally find, you and I collide

Bulletproof - Kerli

Just a simple touch
Just a little glance
Makes me feel like flying
But where are you tonight?
Something isn't right
Can you please stop hiding?

I am trying not to think about
All the things you did before
But sometimes it all just gets to me
I can't fake it anymore
I'll stay with you
But remember, be careful what you do
Cause I'm not bulletproof

In your secret place
Staring into space
Leaves me feeling frozen
I just need to feel that what we have is real
And I'm the one you've chosen

I am trying not to think about
All the things you did before
But sometimes it all just gets to me
I can't fake it anymore
I'll stay with you
But remember, be careful what you do
Cause I'm not bulletproof

I am trying not to think about
All the things you did before
But sometimes it all just gets to me
I can't fake it anymore
I'll stay with you
But remember, be careful what you do
Cause I'm not bulletproof
And I'm not bulletproof
And I'm not bulletproof

I'm not bulletproof
I'm not bulletproof
I'm not bulletproof
I'm not bulletproof
I'm not bulletproof
I'm not bulletproof
I'm not bulletproof

I'm not bulletproof

Believe - Armchair Cynics

I was tired, feeling older
Stop the car and please pull over
In the bathroom at the station
In the mirror was desperation
From my pocket, pulled a picture
Of a time when I was younger

Somewhere on this desert road
I think I lost my hunger

People fall in love with people
Then they fall out of love
Could you save my soul tonight?
Give reason and meaning
When all my hope is gone
Could you be my something to believe in?

Well, the seasons they are changing
And the days are getting longer
I guess you’ll finish off your school
And I’ll finish off this bottle

If I told you how I felt
Would it change all our tomorrows?
I guess you’ll never know
How I feel so hollow

People climb on top of people
Don’t you fall down on me now
Could you save my soul tonight?
Give reason and meaning
When all my hope is gone
Could you be my something to believe in?

Could you be my something to believe in?

Could you save my soul tonight?
Give reason and meaning
When all my hope is gone
Could you be my something to believe in?

Could you save my soul tonight?
Give reason and meaning
When all my hope is gone
Could you be my something to believe in?

Could you be my something to believe in?

One word - Anouk

I close my eyes
And imagine you're here
Did it all seem so hopeless?
Given the chance
I would ask
Forgive me
I didn't do a thing to make you stay
I didn't say a word to make you stay
If I would have known
Could I have tried to make it easier?
But I didn't do a thing
Or say a word
One word

And I don't know why you're gone
Now you're gone
No beautiful goodbye
You will never leave my mind
And it turns out to be
So much different than our dreams
Now you're, you're a star in heaven

My thoughts unsaid
Stuck in my head
And it all feels so useless
Never forget to give all I have
Forgive me
I couldn't do a thing to make you stay
And I couldn't say a word to make you stay
If I could have known
Could I have tried to make it easier?
But I couldn't do a thing
Or say a word
One word

And I don't know why you're gone
Now you're gone
No beautiful goodbye
You will never leave my mind
And it turns out to be
So much different than our dreams
Now you're, yeah you're a star in heaven

Still I don't know why you're gone
Now you're gone
No beautiful goodbye
You will never leave my mind
And it turns out to be
So much different than our dreams
Now you're, you're a star in heaven

You're a star in heaven now
You're a star in heaven
Yeah, you're my star

Break so easy - Johnathan Rice

Late in the summer children run without clothes
Chill of the winter not far down the road
And in the windows are silhouettes of husbands and wives
Watching in silence till the evening arrives
And there all around insects scream in the trees
The promise of rain can be heard on the breeze

Oh Lord, oh Lord, we break so easy
Oh Lord, oh Lord, we shatter like glass

The headlights glow and the sky will soon be black
The freeway riders are rolling and heading back
They're heading back home

A dark haired woman is driving the roads
Breathing deeply, she don't mind being alone
I spend my nights in the reservoir
Saying prayers for the passing cars

One moment more - Mindy Smith

Hold me, even though I know you're leaving
And show me all the reasons you would stay
It's just enough to feel your breath on mine
To warm my soul and ease my mind
You've got to hold me and show me now

Give me just one part of you to cling to
And keep me everywhere you are
It's just enough to steal my heart and run
Then fade out with the falling sun

Oh, please don't go
Let me have you just one moment more
Oh, all I need
All I want is just one moment more
You've got to hold me, and keep me now

Tell me, that someday you'll be returning
And maybe, maybe I'll believe
It's just enough to see a shooting star
And to know you're never really far
It's just enough to see a shooting star
To know you're never really gone

Oh, please don't go
Let me have you just one moment more
Oh, all I need
All I want is just one moment more

Oh, please don't go
Let me have you just one moment more
Oh, all I need
All I want is just one moment more
You've got to hold me, and maybe I'll believe

So hold me, even though I know you're leaving
