I’ve told you I could never choose one band, This is why
(Now loving <<<#>>>> bands)
As most of you know music is a big part of my life. Like my writing, I never go anywhere with out it. There’s
three things you’ll never see me with out. My coat, generally because I’ constantly freezing my ass of and also
because its just plain cool. My book bag with more than a couple note books. And my CD player.
I’m addicted to music. I’ll listen to just about anything to some extent but my favorite is modern
rock, And with out my music I’d go nuts so here are a few (Okay more than a few) bands that I like. I tend to find a
band, Obsess with it for a week then find another band and repeat the cycle. I’ll try to go in order from newest to
oldest obsessions, but I’m not making any promises.
Please keep in mind I haven’t heard every song by these bands so I don’t really feel perfectly
right rating them, though I did it ay ways. Actually I don’t think it right to rate the band but to rate the song. Unfortunately
we don’t have time to go through each song so here are the bands with a couple good songs. Now I don’t like critics
and I’m not trying to be one this is just how much I like the songs, in my own damn opinion. Don’t like it then
you can fuck off.
Eventually I’ll give you an Artist/Song of the week thing but for now here’s a list. (Favorite
songs are listed in a particular order. And lyrics that are italicized I can relate to.)
Breaking Benjamin:
I first saw this band’s music video So Cold. I love this song just as much as I love Shinedown’s
45 . Though their slow songs aren’t completely great I still love the death out of them.
Favorite Songs: So Cold, Break My Fall
Lyrics: So Cold, Break My Fall, Skin,
So Cold
Crowded streets all cleared away
One by One
Hollow heroes separate
As they run
You're so cold
Keep your hand in mine
Wise men wonder while
Strong men die
[Chorus]
Show me how it ends it's alright
Show me how defenseless you really are
Satisfied and empty inside
That's
alright, let's give this another try
If you find your family, don't you cry
In this land of make-believe, dead
and dry
You're so cold, but you feel alive
Lay your hands on me one last time
[Chorus x2]
It's alright [x9]
Break My Fall
You fought me once but not again
You let me feel your heavy hand
I will clean your fuckin
mess
And leave no trace of evidence
[Chorus:]
I am losing
you again
Let me out and let me in
'cause you're not alone here
Not at all
Let me belong here
Break my fall
Shelter
me from this again
Dedicated to the end
Help me break my conscience in
To free us from our innocence
[Chorus]
Blink 182: -Rate B
This band is pretty good on my list. I slow danced to I Miss You with Chris in California. I love the lyrics
to that song.
Favorite songs: I Miss You, Down
Lyrics: I Miss You
I Miss You
(I miss you, I miss you)
Hello there, the angel from my nightmare
The shadow in the background of the morgue
The unsuspecting victim of darkness in the valley
We can live like Jack and Sally if we want
Where you can always find me
We'll have Halloween on Christmas
And in the night we'll wish this never ends
We'll wish this never ends
(I miss you, I miss you)
(I miss you, I miss you)
Where are you and I'm so sorry
I cannot sleep I cannot dream tonight
I need somebody and always
This sick strange darkness
Comes creeping on so haunting every time
And as I stared I counted
Webs from all the spiders
Catching things and eating their insides
Like indecision to call you
and hear your voice of treason
Will you come home and stop this pain tonight
Stop this pain tonight
Don't waste your time on me you're already
The voice inside my head (I miss you, I miss you)
Don't waste your time on me you're already
The voice inside my head (I miss you, I miss you)
[x3]
(I miss you, I miss you) [x4]
Eve 6: -Rate: B+
First it started with a memory search for Here’s to the Night, then it just kinda grew. Friend
Of Mine is one of the my favorites.
Favorite Songs: Friend of Mine, Think Twice, Here’s To The Night, Beautiful Oblivion, Anytime, Good
Lives, At Least We’re Dreaming,
Lyrics: Friend of Mine, Here’s To The Night, Think Twice
Friend of Mine
Are you feelin that you're on the brink
Of spilling some red in the sink
It wasn’t the easiest year
No I don’t want you to go
Are the memories too hard to take
Rape is a word with a face
No I don’t want you to go
You know I don’t want you to go
Friend of mine stay alive
Don’t you leave me here
All alone in the world with a chronic tear
I will always be here, I will always be here
I will always be here for you
We walked the promenade in the rain
With velcro shoes and an ice cream stain
You’re the only one who understands
Remember the Blake said to make sure you wake
And help save your generation
No I don’t want you to go
You know we don’t want you to go
Friend of mine stay alive
Don’t you leave me here
All alone in the world with a chronic tear
I will always be here, I will always be here
I will always be here for you
Don’t look back
The past is just that
We are We are We are We are
Awake
Friend of mine stay alive
Don’t you leave me
Friend of mine stay alive
Don’t you leave me
I will always be here
I will always be here
Friend of mine stay alive
Don’t you leave me here
All alone in the world with a chronic tear
I will always be here, I will always be here
I will always be here for you
Here’s To The Night
So denied so I lied
Are you the now or never kind?
In a day and a day love
I'm going to be gone for good again
Are you willing to be had? Are you cool with just tonight?
Here's a toast to all those who hear me all to well.
Here's to the night we felt alive.
Here's to the tears you knew you'd cry.
Here's to goodbye tomorrow's going to come to soon.
Put your name on the line
along with place and time
want to stay, not to go,
I want to ditch the logical.
Here's a toast to all those who hear me all to well.
Here's to the night we felt alive.
Here's to the tears you knew you'd cry.
Here's to goodbye tomorrow's going to come to soon.
All my time is froze in motion
can't I stay an hour or two or more
don't let me let you go
don't let me let you go
Here's a toast to all those who hear me all to well.
Here's to the night we felt alive.
Here's to the tears you knew you'd cry.
Here's to goodbye, tomorrow's going to come to soon.
To soon
Here's to the night we felt alive
Here's to the tears you knew you'd cry
Here's to goodbye tomorrow's going to come to soon
Think Twice
When all is said and done
And dead does he love you
The way that I do
Breathing in lighting
Tonight's for fighting
I feel the hurt so physical
Think twice before you touch my girl
Come around I'll let you feel the burn
Think twice before you touch my girl
Come around come around no more
Think twice before you touch my girl
Come around I'll let you feel the burn
Think twice before you touch my girl
Come around no more
She spreads her love
She burns me up
I can't let go
I can't get out
I've said enough
Enough by now
I can't let go
I can't get out
Wait till the day you finally see
I've been here waiting patiently
Crossing my fingers and my t's
She cried on my shoulder begging please
Think twice before you touch my girl
Come around I'll let you feel the burn
Think twice before you touch my girl
Come around come around no more
Think twice before you touch my girl
Come around I'll let you feel the burn
Think twice before you touch my girl
Come around no more
She spreads her love
She burns me up
I can't let go
I can't get out
I've said enough
Enough by now
I can't let go
I can't get out
What is it you really want
I'm tired of asking
You're gone I'm wasted
When I showed up and he was there
I tried my best to grin and bear
And took the stairs but didn't stop at the street
And as we speak I'm going down
Cause she spread her love
And burnt me up
I can't let go
I can't get out
I've said enough
Enough by now
I can't let go
I can't get out
Think twice before you touch my girl
Come around I'll let you feel the burn
Think twice before you touch my girl
Come around come around no more
Think twice before you touch my girl
Come around I'll let you feel the burn
Think twice before you touch my girl
Come around no more
Bleeding Through: B
I like a little heavy metal though most my favorites are light. Bleeding Through is one I enjoy.
Favorite songs: Wings of Lead
Malice Miser
Autumn’s the one responsible for this.
Cradle of Filth: B+
Autumn’s responsible for this one also. This is another heavier band that I absolutely love. Gotta love
how they do it different with the sound effect things and the background vocals.
Favorites: Her Ghost in the fog, Creatures That Kissed in Cold Mirrors, (and more)
Deftones -Rate: A-
First heard this band off the Queen of the Damned Soundtrack. Then again off of The Matrix Soundtrack. Started
loving it and got me more.
Favorites: My Own Summer (Shove It), Luck You, Change (In the House of Flies), New Murderer, Knife Party at
the Niko, Lonely, Hexagram
Earshot: -Rate A-
This is also a band I pulled from the Queen of the Damned soundtrack. I fell in love with it because their
lyrics reminded me so much of something I‘d write. So a lot of this applies to me.
Favorite songs: Fall Apart, Headstrong, Get Away, Wait, Goodbye
Lyrics: Fall Apart, Headstrong, Not Afraid, Get Away
Fall Apart
So I finally found the way
To lessen all your pain
What you'd give to feel again
For even just a day
And as you search to find the words
Of someone to relate
You realize all your faults,
Were never their mistakes
And everything starts to
Fall apart
Covered in ink to, hide these scars
And everything ends the way it starts
I just want to feel like, I belong
Could this be the one last time
That brings 'em back the change?
The moments in your life
When you know it has to change
Another waste of time, another dream in flames
And once you feel the fire,
You'll never be the same
And everything starts to
Fall apart
Covered in ink to, hide these scars
And everything ends the way it starts
I just want to feel like, I belong
I belong
I belong
I belong
Oooo, All my life, I've done nothing but hide
From myself (over and over, and over and over)
Oooo, and all my life, I've done nothing but hide
From myself (over and over, and over and over)
Oooo, and All my life, I've done nothing but lie
To myself (over and over, and over and over again)
And everything starts to
Fall apart
Covered in ink to, hide these scars
And everything ends the way it starts
I just want to feel like, I belong
I belong
I belong
I belong
I belong
Headstrong
Strapped down and heavy
Tied up and bound
This weight I carry
This weight I’ve found
So Let….Me be the one to say
I’ve really had enough
Downfallen on
(Yes, you meant the world to me)
My sweet love
So headstrong
Strong
Watch me fall
One down too many
You let me down
Won’t think what could be
Can’t feel much now
Downfallen on
(Yes you meant the world to me)
My sweet love
So headstrong
(Are you?)
Strong
Watch me
Change this world inside of you
Change this world inside of you
Does it really mean that much to you?
To hide your fear, to test the way I feel?
To test the way I feel
To test the way I feel
To test the way I feel
Watch me crawl
Watch me break
Watch me crawl
Watch me throw it all away.
Downfallen on
Yes you meant the world to me
My sweet love
So headstrong
(Are you)
Strong
I can’t believe the things you say
So wrongful how I feel this way
I’m sleeping to relieve this strain.
So calmly, sadly, softly
Just Let it all just drift away
Let it all just drift away
Wait
Something's wrong,
Trying to conquer these fears I thought were gone.
And it's been so long, I'm dying to live in a world I don’t belong
I cant wait for someone to hear me,
And wait for someone to touch me.
And wait forever to be told,
I'm forever alone.
I cant wait for someone to feel me,
And wait for someone to heal me.
And wait forever to be told,
I'm forever alone..
On my own,
I'll show myself what it means to be alone.
And the tears I cry are washed away.
All the scars are my disguise.
I cant wait for someone to hear me,
And wait for someone to touch me.
And wait forever to be told,
I'm forever alone.
I cant wait for someone to feel me,
And wait for someone to heal me.
And wait forever to be told,
I’m forever alone..
I'm forever alone.
I'm forever alone.
I'm forever alone.
I, I'm not waiting here this time.
I can't wait for someone to hear me.
And wait for someone to touch me
And wait forever to be told,
I'm forever alone.
I cant wait for someone to feel me
And wait for someone to heal me
And wait forever to be told
I'm forever alone.
Not Afraid
Don't leave me alone
I'm feeling so numb
I need you to be here, I need you to call
and everything's wrong
a beautiful shame
and everything's ugly, hazy, and gray
and doesn't it hurt?
trick and control you
deceive and destroy you
doesn't it hurt?
forget and move on
I'm here and I'm strong
I've got you to blame when it's finally done
[chorus]
I'm not afraid
of these feelings here inside
I'm sure someday I'll let go of all this hate for you...
I'll let go of all this hate
Does it make you feel inside what you've never felt before
does it promise you a life, but that left you all alone
and doesn't it hurt?
trick and control you
deceive and destroy you
doesn't it hurt?
forget and move on
I'm here and I'm strong
I've got you to blame when it's finally done
[chorus]
Doesn’t it hurt you
Doesn’t it feel sick
Doesn’t it hurt you
Doesn’t it feel sick
and I’m on my way
I'm not afraid
of these feelings here inside
I'm sure someday I'll let go of all this hate for you...
I'll let go of all this hate I wont come around no more
I just let you go away
I wont come around no more
I lost my way
really lost my way
so really lost my way
so really lost my way
Get Away
You stay all in one piece when broken
Kind remarks, and your words soft-spoken
Driving far from the path of destruction
Coming ever so close to throwing it all away again
Is this all some great big lie?
Twisted and working on something deep down
That you should’ve never kept inside
How much must I live through just to get away?
(All this tension and so alive)
How much must I live through just to get away?
(All these pressure that makes your head feel so tired)
You've been through the worst encounters
Searching out the truth, the light, and way
You have thoughts of peace and silence
Coming ever so close to giving it all away again
Is this all some great big lie?
Sick and disturbing, you want no answers
But you should've never looked inside
How much must I live through just to get away?
(All this tension and so alive)
How much must I live through just to get away?
(All these pressure that makes your head feel so tired)
And sometimes it seems easier to burn it to the ground
Can we get away now?
Can we get away now?
Can we get away now?
Please just let this go away
How much must I live through just to get away?
(All this tension and so alive)
How much must I live through just to get away?
(All these pressure that makes your head feel so tired)
Wouldn’t it be easier?
Wouldn’t it be easier to get away?
Wouldn’t it be easier?
Easier to get away

Now I’m not so sure how their other songs are but Vindicated one of the best romantic ones. Defiantly
one to listen to over and over again
Favorites: Vindicated (A+)
Lyrics: Vindicated
Vindicated
Hope dangles on a string
Like slow spinning redemption
Winding in and winding out
The shine of it has caught my eye
And roped me in
So mesmerizing, so hypnotizing
I am captivated
[Chorus]
I am Vindicated
I am selfish
I am wrong
I am right
I swear I'm right
I swear I knew it all along
And I am flawed
But I am cleaning up so well
I am seeing in me now the things you swore you saw yourself
So clear
Like the diamond in your ring
Cut to mirror your intentions
Oversized and overwhelmed
The shine of which has caught my eye
And rendered me so isolated, so motivated
I am certain now that
[Chorus]
So turn
Up the corners of your lips
Part them and feel my finger tips
Trace the moment, fall forever
Defense is paper thin
Just one touch and I'd be in
Too deep now to ever swim against the current
So let me slip away [3x]
So let me slip against the current
So let me slip away [4x]
[Chorus]
Slight hope
It dangles on a string
Like slow spinning redemption...
Hoobastank: B
The Reason is bittersweet, and a bit more bitter for me. It’s a good song and I love to listen to it.
Except it makes me want to scream my head off and through things across the room then sink to the floor and cry until I fall
asleep. I don’t believe in sorry. If you didn’t want it to hurt so much you should of never have done it in the
first place. There are some things I can never forgive.
Favorites: The Reason, To Be With you
Lyrics: The Reason
The Reason
I'm not a perfect person
As many things I wish I didn't do
But I continue learning
I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know
I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
and the reason is you
I'm sorry that I hurt you
It's something I must live with everyday
And all the pain I put you through
I wish that I could take it all away
And be the one who catches all your tears
That’s why I need you to hear
I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
and the reason is You [x4]
I'm not a perfect person
I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know
I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
and the reason is you
I've found a reason to show
A side of me you didn't know
A reason for all that I do
And the reason is you
Drowning Pool: -A+
Hell Yeah. The lead singer died sadly, but its still great to listen to. You may know this band by the chanting
of “Let the bodies hit the floor,” This has got to be my favorite heavy band.
Favorite Songs: The Man Without Fear, Bodies, Tear away, Reminded, This Life, Step up, Pity, Sinner, Mute,
Numb, Break You
Korn: -Rate A
Its sick and twisted which of course attracts me to it. And hell anyone that can make nursery rhymes look
cool is good on my list. I love the music videos to Make Me Bad and Falling Away From me.
Favorites: Make Me Bad, Shoots and Ladders, Freak On A Leash, Falling Away From Me, Dead Bodies Everywhere
Lyrics: Freak on a Leash, Make Me Bad
Make Me Bad
I am watching the rise and fall of my salvation.
There's so much shit around me.
Such a lack of compassion.
I thought it would be fun and games
(would be fun and games).
Instead it's all the same
(it's all the same).
I want something to do.
Need to feel the sickness in you.
I feel the reason as it's leaving me,
no, not again.
Its quite deceiving as I'm feeling
the flesh made me bad.
All I wanna do it look for you.
And when I fix, you needed to.
Just to get some sort of attention, attention.
What does it mean to you?
For me its something I just do.
I want something.
I need to feel the sickness in you.
I feel the reason as it's leaving me, no, not again.
Its quite deceiving as I'm feeling the flesh made me bad.
I feel the reason as it's leaving me, no, not again.
Its quite deceiving as I'm feeling the flesh made me bad.
Just made me bad

Coma White
There's something cold and blank behind her smile
She's standing on an overpass
In her miracle mile
(coma):
"You were from a perfect world
A world that threw me away today
Today to run away"
A pill to make you numb
A pill to make you dumb
A pill to make you anybody else
But all the drugs in this world
Won't save her from herself
Her mouth was an empty cut
And she was waiting to fall
Just bleeding like a Polaroid that
Lost all her dolls
(coma):
"You were from a perfect world
A world that threw me away today
Today to run away"
A pill to make you numb
A pill to make you dumb
A pill to make you anybody else
But all the drugs in this world
Won't save her from herself
A Perfect Circle: Rate A+
I love this band its defiantly one of my favorites and always will be. Though their remakes aren’t to
great their originals are. Thirteenth Step is one of the best albums I’ve heard.
Favorite songs: Rose, The Noose, Judith, Gravity, Pet
Lyrics: Gravity, Judith, Pet
Gravity
Lost again
Broken and weary
Unable to find my way
Tail in hand
Dizzy and clearly unable to
Just let this go
I am surrendering to the gravity and the unknown
Catch me heal me lift me back up to the sun
I choose to live
I fell again
Like a baby unable to stand on my own
Tail in hand
Dizzy and clearly unable to just this go
High and surrendering to the gravity and the unknown
Catch me, heal me, lift me back up to the sun
I choose to live, I choose to live, I choose to live
Catch me heal me lift me back up to the sun
Help me survive the bottom
Calm these hands before they
Snare another pill and
Drive another nail down another
Meaty hole please release me
I am surrendering to the gravity and the unknown
Catch me heal me lift me back up to the sun
I choose to live, I choose to live
Judith
You're such an inspiration for the ways
That I'll never ever choose to be
Oh so many ways for me to show you
How the savior has abandoned you
Fuck your God Your Lord and your Christ
He did this
Took all you had and
Left you this way
Still you pray, you never stray
Never taste of the fruit
You never thought to question why
It's not like you killed someone
It's not like you drove a hateful spear into his side
Praise the one who left you
Broken down and paralyzed
He did it all for you
He did it all for you
Oh so many, many ways for me to show you
How your dogma has abandoned you
Pray to your Christ, to your god
Never taste of the fruit
Never stray, never break
Never---choke on a lie
Even though he's the one who did this to you
You never thought to question why
Not like you killed someone
It's Not like you drove a spiteful spear into his side
Talk to Jesus Christ
As if he knows the reasons why
He did it all for you
Did it all for you
He did it all for you
Pet
Don’t fret precious I’m here
Step away from the window
Go back to sleep
Lay your head down child
I wont let the bogie man come
Count the bodies like sheep
to the rhythm of the war drums
Pay no mind to the rabble
Pay no mind to the rabble
Head down, Go to sleep
To the rhythm of the war drums
Pay no mind what other voices say
They don’t care about you
Like I do
(Like I do)
Safe from pain and truth and choice
And other poison devils
Say they don’t give a fuck about you
Like I do
Just stay with me
Safe and ignorant
Go back to sleep
Go back to sleep
Lay your head down child
I wont let the bogie man come
Count the bodies like sheep
to the rhythm of the war drums
Pay no mind to the rabble
Pay no mind to the rabble
Head down go to sleep
to the rhythm of the war drums
I’ll be the one to protect you from
Your enemies and all your demons
I’ll be the one to protect you from
A will to survive and a voice of reason
Ill be the one to protect you from
Your enemies and your choices son
One in the same I must isolate you
Isolate and save you from yourself
Swinging to the rhythm of the new world order and
Count the bodies like sheep
To the rhythm of the war drums
The bogie man are comin’
The bogie man are comin’
Keep your head down go to sleep
To the rhythm of the war drums
Stay with me
Safe and ignorant
Just stay with me
Hold you and protect you from the other ones
The evil ones
Don’t love you son
Go back to sleep

Another one of my addicting favorites. *whines* Oh god don’t make me do the favorite thing again. I

Favorite Songs: Cure My Tragedy Gone Away, Black Sunday, Stupid
Girl, Remedy, Just Got Wicked, Suffocate, The Day Seattle Died, Wasted Years, Whatever You Became.
Lyrics: Cure My Tragedy, Gone Away,
Cure My Tragedy
Remember all the times that we used to play
You were lost and I would save you
I don't think those feeling will ever fade
You born a part of me
I was never good at hiding anything
My thoughts break me
Do you understand what you mean to me?
You are my faith
Won't you cure my tragedy
Won't you cure my tragedy
Don't take her smile away from me
She's broken and I'm far away
Won't you cure my tragedy
Won't you cure my tragedy
If you make the world a stage for me
Then I hope that you can hear me scream
Won't you cure my tragedy
When I sit and think of the days we shared
and the nights you covered before me
Every little thing that I ever did
You would stand by me
Every time you would cried it would take my wind
My heart would break
If I could be strong like you were for me
You are my faith
Won't you cure my tragedy
Won't you cure my tragedy
Don't take her smile away from me
She's broken and I'm far away
If you made the world a stage for me
Then I hope that you could hear me scream
Can you hear me scream
Can you hear me scream
Won't you cure my tragedy
Won't you cure my tragedy
Don't take her smile away from me
She's broken and I'm far away
If you made the world a stage for me
I can't take this anymore
I can't take this anymore
Won't you take and give her pain to me
Cause my whole life I've made mistakes
Gone Away
Do you pray
In the night
Can you appreciate the wind
And I won't care
I won't fight
I need you close to sing
It's the same beginning
Gone away
It's the same old, same old song
Gone away
It's my whole life
In words
And I can't breathe
When you cry
But I'll be there to hold you tight
And I would kill
I would fight
To keep you close
I keep singing the same way
I won't live
If you died
If I can feel you in the wind
And this is me
It's my life
I'll need you close to sing
It's the same beginning
Gone away
It's the same old, same old song
Gone away
It's my whole life
In words
Gone away
It's the same old, same old song
Gone away
It's my whole life
And I can't say
And I don't know
How far
I'll go
And I can't say
And I don't know
How far
I'll go
Gone away
It's the same old, same old song
Gone away
It's my whole life
In words
Gone away
It's the same old, same old song
Gone away
It's my whole life
Black Sunday
["Falling" repeated over and over until 1st chorus]
I can't breath at all
It hurts to think
that time could heal my wounds
feeling I've been betrayed
Black Sunday still burns you in my thoughts
I can't sleep at all
Now you're gone away
I can't fake this anymore
Guess I could blame it all
on God's game
or explain what my life's for
[Chorus]
Caught in a winters rain
I can't remember a word you said
Take away my fear please hold on to me
I'm falling
Falling
I will trade it all
for another day
just to feel you and your warmth
but even pictures fade
Black Sunday still burns you in my thoughts
I can't see at all
did you fly away
Did the stars shine bright for you
Guess I could blame it all
on God's game
it was fate that carried you
[Chorus]
You always take away
Take away
Take away
[Chorus x2]
and I'm falling
I'm falling
I'm falling
I'm falling
I'm falling

Favorite songs: Iris, Black Balloon, Acoustic #3, Broadway, Slide,
Lyrics: Iris, Black Balloon, Acoustic #3, Broadway
Iris
And I'd give up forever to touch you
Cause I know that you feel me somehow
You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be
And I don't want to go home right now
And all I can taste is this moment
And all I can breathe is your life
And sooner or later it's over
I just don't want to miss you tonight
And I don't want the world to see me
Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming
Or the moment of truth in your lies
When everything feels like the movies
Yeah you bleed just to know you're alive
And I don't want the world to see me
Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
Black Balloon
Baby's black balloon makes her fly
I almost fell into that hole in your life
And you're not thinking 'bout tomorrow
'Cause you were the same as me
But on your knees
A thousand other boys could never reach you
How could I have been the one?
I saw the world spin beneath you
And scatter like ice from the spoon
That was your womb
Comin' down the world turned over
And angels fall without you there
And I go on as you get colder
Or are you someone's prayer
You know the lies they always told you
And the love you never know
What's the things they never showed you
That swallow the light from the sun
Inside your room, yeah
Comin' down the world turned over
And angels fall without you there
And I go on as you get colder
Always someone
And there's no time left for losin'
When you stand they fall
Comin' down the world turned over
And angels fall without you there
And I go on as you get colder
All because I'm
Comin' down the years turn over
And angels fall without you there
And I'll go on to bring you home and
All because I'm
All because I'm
And I'll become
What you became to me
Acoustic #3
They painted up your secrets
With the lies they told to you
And the least they ever gave you
Was the most you ever knew
And I wonder where these dreams go
When the world gets in your way
What’s the point in all screaming
No ones listening anyways
Your voice is small and fading
And your hiding in your room
And your mother loves your father
Cause she’s got nowhere to go
And she wonders where these dreams go
Cause the world got in her way
What’s the point in ever trying?
Nothings changing anyway
They press their lips against you
And the lovely lies they say
And I tried so hard to reach you
But you’re falling anyways
And you know I see right through you
Cause the world get in your way
What’s the point of all this screaming
You’re not listening anyway
Broadway
[Chorus]
Broadway is dark tonight
A little bit weaker than you used to be
Broadway is dark tonight
See the young man sittin' in the old man's bar
Waitin' for his turn to die
The cowboy kills the rock star
And Friday night's gone too far
The dim light hides the years
On all the faded girls
Forgotten but not gone
You drink it off your mind
You talk about the world
Like it's someplace that you've been
You see you'd love to run home, but you know you ain't got one
Cause you're livin' in a world that you're best forgotten, around here
[Chorus]
You choke down all your anger
Forget your only son
You pray to statues when you sober up for fun
You're anger don't impress me
The world slapped in your face
It always rains like hell on the loser's day parade
You see you'd love to run home, but you know ain't got one
Cause you're livin' in a world that you're best forgotten
When you're thinkin' you're a joke and nobody's gonna listen
To the one small point I know they've been missing around here
[Chorus]
You see you'd love to run home, but you know ain't got one
Cause you're livin' in a world that you're best forgotten
And if you're thinkin' you're a joke do you think that they'll listen
To the one small point I know they've been missing around here
Round here
[Chorus]
Coldplay: B+
Gotta love this slow mellow band, Very relaxing, very sweet. This bands been used a lot for movie and TV previews
Favorite songs: Trouble, Clocks, Yellow
Lyrics: Trouble, Clocks,
Clocks
Lights go out and I can't be saved,
Tides that I tried to swim against,
You've put me down upon my knees,
Oh I beg, I beg and plead, (singing,)
Come out of things unsaid, shoot an apple of my head (and a),
Trouble that can't be named, tigers waiting to be tamed (singing),
You are, you are
Confusion never stops, closing walls and ticking clocks (gonna),
Come back and take you home, I could not stop, that you now know (singing),
Come out upon my seas, curse missed opportunities (am I),
A part of the cure, or am I part of the disease (singing)
You are (x6),
And nothing else compares,
Oh no nothing else compares,
And nothing else compares
You are (continues in background),
Home, home, where I wanted to go (x4)
Trouble
O no, I see,
A spider web is tangled up with me,
And I lost my head,
The thought of all the stupid things I said,
O no what's this
A spider web, and I'm caught in the middle,
So I turned to run,
The thought of all the stupid things I've done,
I never meant to cause you trouble,
And I never meant to do you wrong,
And I, well if I ever caused you trouble,
O no, I never meant to do you harm.
O no I see,
A spider web and it's me in the middle,
So I twist and turn,
Here I am in love in a bubble,
Singing, I never meant to cause you trouble,
I never meant to do you wrong,
And I, well if I ever caused you trouble,
Although I never meant to do you harm.
They spun a web for me,
They spun a web for me,
They spun a web for me.
AFI: -Rate B+
Now I haven’t heard enough of this band to really judge them. Have to say there’s a few of their
songs I’m not to big on. Maybe its just me but their slower songs are a hell of a lot better then the their fast ones.
Favorite songs: Silver and Cold, This Time Imperfect, Morningstar, Girls Not Gray
Lyrics: This Time Imperfect
This Time Imperfect
I cannot leave here, I cannot stay,
Forever haunted, more than afraid.
Asphyxiate on words I would say,
I'm drawn to a blackened sky as I turn blue.
There are no flowers, no not this time,
There'll be no angels gracing the lines,
Just these stark words, I find.
I'd show a smile, but Im to weak,
I'd share with you could I only speak,
Just how much this, hurts me.
I cannot stay here, I cannot leave
Just like all I loved, I'm make-believe
Imagined heart, I disappear
Seems...no one will appear here and make me real
There are no flowers, no, not this time
There will be no angels gracing the lines
Just these stark words I find
I'd show a smile, but I'm to weak
I'd share with you could I only speak
Just how much this hurts me
I'd tell you how it haunts me,
I'd tell you how it haunts me,
(cuts through my day, and sinks into my dreams.)
I'd tell you that it haunts me,
(cuts through my day, and sinks into my dreams.)
You don't care that it haunts me.
Oh!!!,
There are no flowers, no, not this time
There will be no angels gracing the lines
Just these stark words I find
I'd show a smile, but I'm to weak
I'd share with you could I only speak
Just how much this hurts me
Just how much this hurts me
Just how much you...
Bush: -A
This is another of my faves. Its so damn addicting. Had to put it away because I wouldn’t stop listening
to it. Comedown and Glycerin are good romantic like songs. And Gavin is absolutely beautiful
Favorites Songs: Little Things, Comedown, Glycerin
Lyrics: Glycerine, Comedown, Little Things
Glycerine
Must be your skin I'm sinking in
Must be for real cuz now I can feel
And I didn't mind
It's
not my kind
Not my time to wonder why
Everything's gone white
And everything's gray
Now you're here now you're
away
I don't want this
Remember that
I'll never forget where you're at
Don't let the days go by
Glycerine
I'm never alone
I'm alone all the time
Are you at one
Or do you lie
We
live in a wheel
Where everyone steals
But when we rise it's like strawberry fields
If I treated you bad
You
bruise my face
Couldn't love you more
You got a beautiful taste
Don't let the days go by
Could have been easier
on you
I couldn't change though I wanted to
Should have been easier by three
Our old friend fear and you and me
Glycerine
[repeat]
Don't let the days go by
Glycerine
I needed you more
When we wanted us
less
I could not kiss just regress
It might just be
Clear simple and plain
That's just fine
That's just one
of my names
Don't let the days go by
Could've been easier on you
Glycerine
Comedown
Love and hate get it wrong
She cut me right back down to size
Sleep the day let it fade
Who
was there to take your place
No one knows never will
Mostly me but mostly you
What do you say what do you do
When
it all comes down
I don't want to come back down from this cloud
Taken me all this time to find out what I need
I don’t wanna come back down from this cloud
Its taken me all this, all this time
And I'm doing fine now
There's no blame only shame
When you beg you just complain
More
I come more I try
All police are paranoid
So am I - So's the future
So are you - Be a creature
What do you say
do you do
When it all comes down
Little Things
I bleach the sky
every night
loaded on wrong
and further from right
spinning around
two howling
moons
cos there always there
whatever I do
the river is loaded
I've been there today
tool it some questions
she
does me again
I'd die in your arms
if you were dead too
here comes a lie
we will always be true
going
up
when coming down
scratch away
it's the little things that kill
tearing at my brains again
the little things
that kill
the little things that kill
bigger you give
bigger you get
we're boss at denia
l but our best
at forget
cupboard is empty
we really need food
summer is winter
and you always knew
going up when coming
down
scratch away
I touch you mouth
my willy is food
addicted to love
I'm addicted to you shit
I kill
you once
I kill you again
we're starving and crude
welcome my friends to
the little things that kill

Warning
Bat your eyes girl, be otherworldly,
count your blessings, seduce a stranger.
What's so wrong with being happy?
Kudos to those who see through sickness.
Yeah..
Over and over and over and over Ooo
When she woke in the morning
she knew that her life had passed her by.
And she called out a warning,
"Don't ever let life pass you by."
I suggest we learn to love ourselves before it's made illegal.
When will we learn? When will we change?
Just in time to see it all fall down.
Those left standing... will make millions...
writing books on the way it should have been.
When she woke in the morning
she knew that her life had passed her by.
And she called out a warning,
"Don't ever let life pass you by."
Floating in this cosmic Jacuzzi
we are like frogs oblivious
to the water starting to boil.
No one flinches, we all float face down.
When she woke in the morning
she knew that her life had passed her by.
And she called out a warning,
"Don't ever let life pass you by."
Three Doors Down: -Rate A+
Three Doors Down is one of my old favorites and defiantly a classic. In <<YEAR>> I saw them in
concert with Theory of a Deadman, also an obsession at the time. I took my friend Sadies and we defiantly had a kick ass time.

Away from the Sun is one of the few songs I’ve ever cried to. I don’t
cry easy and I’ve never cried at a movie. So this defiantly says something about this song.

Another one of those bands I had to but away because I was playing it to much. Creed, like Three Doors Down,
is and always will be a favorite classic of mine.
