Placebo - Running up that hill (cover; Kate Bush one is good too. Probably posted this before, but that song I'm Yours reminded me of it).

And if I only could
make a deal with God,
I'd get him to swap our places -
Be running up that road, be running up that hill, be running up that building.
If I only could.

 

[Loveneverfails]

Heh, this song just makes me feel so good. Going on the work out playlist. Yep.

"Victimized"- Linkin Park
[Shinoda:]
No regret for the confidence betrayed
No more hiding in shadow
'Cause I won't wait for the debt to be repaid
Time has come for you

[Chester:]
[Chorus]
Victimized, victimized, never again victimized [x2]

[Shinoda:]
Their acting like they want a riot, it's a riot I'll give them
As the sound climbs higher on this violent rhythm
For you snakes in the grass, supplying the venom
I ain't scared of your teeth, I admire what's in em
Keep 'em waiting in the shadows there, thinking they hidden
But the truth is you don't have the stomach to get em
Go on already, hit em! Yeah, you gotta be kiddin'
Wanna talk about a victim, Imma put you there with 'em!

[Chester:]
[Chorus]
Victimized, victimized, never again victimized [x2]

(Raaah!)

 

[Queen Boudica]

ELO - Hold on tight to your Dreams

Hold on tight to your dream
Hold on tight to your dream
When you see your ship go sailing
When you feel your heart is breaking
Hold on tight to your dream.

It's a long time to be gone
Time just rolls on and on
When you need a shoulder to cry on
When you get so sick of trying
Just hold tight to your dream

CHORUS:
When you get so down that you can't get up
And you want so much but you're all out of luck
When you're so downhearted and misunderstood
Just over and over and over you could

Accroches-toi à ton rêve
Accroches-toi à ton rêve
Quand tu vois ton bateau partir
Quand tu sens ton coeur se briser
Accroches-toi à ton rêve.

REPEAT CHORUS:

Hold on tight to your dream
Hold on tight to your dream
When you see the shadows falling
When you hear that cold wind calling
Hold on tight to your dream.

Oh, yeah
Hold on tight to your dream
Yeah, hold on tight...
To your dream

Orestes by A Perfect Circle

Metaphor for a missing moment​

Pull me in to your perfect circle​

One womb​

One shame​

One resolve​

Liberate this will​

To release us all​

Gotta cut away, clear away​

Snip away and sever this​

Umbilical residue,​

Keeping me from killing you​

And from pulling you down with me here,​

I can almost hear you scream​

Give me one more medicated peaceful moment​

Give me one more medicated peaceful moment​

And I don't wanna feel this​

Overwhelming hostility​

I don't wanna feel this​

Overwhelming hostility​

Gotta cut away, clear away​

Snip away and sever this​

Umbilical residue​

Gotta cut away, clear away​

Snip away and sever this​

Umbilical residue,​

Keeping me from killing you​

Snip away and sever this​

Keeping me from killing you​

Feeder - "Insomnia":
My brain, my poor brain.
My brain, my poor brain!
Drinking myself to sleep again - Nightnurse pills to keep me sane...
Insomnia!
(On that note I think I've quickly tired myself out, so away to count sheep and fall asleep. Falling asleep after 4a.m is better than no sleep at all I reckon. This week, I swear, I'm like an owl or a bat, properly a nighthawk, but not as cute with dark circles under my eyes!)

'Who You Are'- Jessie J

I stare at my reflection in the mirror:
"Why am I doing this to myself?"
Losing my mind on a tiny error,
I nearly left the real me on the shelf.
No, no, no, no, no...

Don't lose who you are in the blur of the stars!
Seeing is deceiving, dreaming is believing,
It's okay not to be okay.
Sometimes it's hard to follow your heart.
Tears don't mean you're losing, everybody's bruising,
Just be true to who you are!

Brushing my hair, do I look perfect?
I forgot what to do to fit the mold, yeah!
The more I try the less it's working, yeah
'Cause everything inside me screams
No, no, no, no, no...

Don't lose who you are in the blur of the stars!
Seeing is deceiving, dreaming is believing,
It's okay not to be okay.
Sometimes it's hard to follow your heart.
But tears don't mean you're losing, everybody's bruising,
There's nothing wrong with who you are!

song: cure for pain

"someday there will be a cure a pain"
"that's the the day I throw my drugs away"

(I think of medication that I don't like taking instead of drugs)

Skinny Love by Bon Iver

"Skinny Love"​

Come on skinny love just last the year​

Pour a little salt, we were never here​

My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my​

Staring at the sink of blood and crushed veneer​

I tell my love to wreck it all​

Cut out all the ropes and let me fall​

My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my​

Right in this moment this order's tall​

I told you to be patient​

I told you to be fine​

And I told you to be balanced​

And I told you to be kind​

In the morning I'll be with you​

But it will be a different kind​

I'll be holding all the tickets​

And you'll be owning all the fines​

Come on skinny love what happened here​

We suckled on the hope in lite brassieres​

My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my​

Sullen load is full, so slow on the split​

And I told you to be patient​

And I told you to be fine​

And I told you to be balanced​

And I told you to be kind​

And now all your love is wasted​

And who the hell was I?​

I'm breaking at the bridges​

And at the end of all your lines​

Who will love you?​

Who will fight?​

Who will fall far behind?​

Ooh, ooh​

"Be Careful"
by Patty Griffin

All the girls in the Paris night
All the girls in the pale moonlight
All the girls with the shopping bags
All the girls with the washing rags

All the girls on the telephone
All the girls standing all alone
All the girls sitting on the wire
One by one fly into the fire

Be careful how you bend me
Be careful where you send me
Careful how you end me
Be careful with me

All the girls standing by your beds
All the girls standing on their heads
All the girls with the broken arms
All the girls with the deadly charms

All the girls in the restaurant
Pretending to be nonchalant
Funny girls on the TV shows
Close your eyes and they turn to snow

Be careful how you bend me
Be careful where you send me
Careful how you end me
Be careful with me

All the girls working overtime
Telling you everything is fine
All the girls in the beauty shops
Girls' tongues catching the raindrops

All the girls that you'll never see
Forever a mystery
All the girls with their secret ways
All the girls who have gone astray

Be careful how you bend me
Be careful where you send me
Careful how you end me
Be careful with me

Be careful how you bend me
Be careful with me

"Rose" by A Perfect Circle

Don't disturb the Beast,​

The tempermental Goat,​

The Snail,​

while he's feeding on the Rose​

Stay frozen, compromise​

What I will I am​

Bend around the wind​

Silently thrown about again​

I'm treading so soft and lightly​

Compromising my will​

I am​

I am, I will​

So no longer will I​

Lay down, play dead​

Play your doe​

In the headlights locked down​

And terrified​

Your deer in the headlights​

Shut down and horrified when​

Push comes to pull comes to shove​

Comes to step around this​

Self-destructive dance​

That never would've ended 'til​

I rose,​

I roared aloud here​

I will, I am​

I am, I will​

So no longer will I​

Lay down, play dead,​

Play this​

Kneel down​

Gun-shy martyr, pitiful​

I rose, I roared​

I will, I am​

Gravity- by Embassy

Born into confusion,
Where infant eyes deceive,
I reach to my reflection,
But is it really me,

{Chorus}:

I cant see the wind blow,
But I can feel the breeze,
Its coming through my window,
Its moving all around me,
And I cant see the Hand no,
That pulls me to my knees,
But when I meet my shadow,
I see gravity,

{Verse 2}

Theres comfortable illusion,
To hide reality,
And shame for those who believe,
In things they cannot see,

{Chorus}: X2

I cant see the wind blow,
But I can feel the breeze,
Its coming through my window,
Its moving all around me,
And I cant see the Hand no,
That pulls me to my knees,
But when I meet my shadow
I see gravity,

"Enemies"- Shinedown
Listen up, there's not a moment to spare
It's quite a drop
From the top so how you feeling down there?
It’s a cold cruel, harsh reality
Caught stuck here with your enemies
Who do you think you are,
Tearing us all apart?

Where did you think you could go?
'Cause everyone already knows,
It’s 20 to 1
Yeah, so you better run!!!

You got the world on its knees
You’re taking all that you please
You want more
You want more

But you’ll get nothing from me
You’re like the burden we bear
You’re all the hate that we share

You want more
You want more

But you’ll get nothing from me
Enemies [x2]

You started something that you just couldn't stop
You turned the ones that you love into the angriest mob
And their one last wish is that you pay for it
And there's no way you're getting out of this

Who do you think you are
Tearing us all apart?

Where did you think you could go?
'Cause everyone already knows,
It’s 20 to 1
Yeah, so you better run!!!

You got the world on its knees
You’re taking all that you please
You want more
You want more

But you’ll get nothing from me
You’re like the burden we bear
You’re all the hate that we share

You want more
You want more

But you’ll get nothing from me
Enemies [x2]

Where did you think you could go?
'Cause everyone already knows
It’s twenty to one
Yeah, so you better run

You've got the world on its knees
You've taken all that you please
You want more, you want more
But you’ll get nothing from me

You're like the burden we bear
You’re all the hate that we share
You want more, you want more

[x2]
But you’ll get nothing from me
Enemies [x2]
