Vargaskall

Genom vättars djupa skogar
över myrars fridfulla ensamhet
bränner fruktans flamma fram
Genom månbelysta dälder
över bergets rygg mot ett okänt mål
jagad ulv nu skyndar fram

Kavlen går i socknarna
nu blir det Vargaskall
Greppa spjut och fatta mod
i drev mot ulvens fall

Gryningstimma, full av hat
ringa in och rota ut
Folkets fasa skall ej mera stryka fram
genom äng, genom myr och skog
i människoland,

In i mörkrets trygghet sluter
sina skygga barn utav enslig kull
ifrån jaktens gälla larm
Vitt revir nu sakta tynar
utav människans hand uti vildmarksland
sveper ödets svarta arm

Kämpa tappert, kämpa idogt
Känn nu eldens glöd i ditt vildmarksblod
Visa drevet ulvars mod

Skymningstimma, tung av blod
ringat in och rotat ut
Ulvars fasa skall för evigt stryka fram
genom äng, genom myr och skog
i Vargaland.

Hanging On Too Long

It was just my mistake
thinking you'd care 
It was just my mistake
thinking you'd be there 
That you'd be by my side 
And that you wouldn't lie
My mistake 

It was just my false hope 
Thinking we'd last, yeah
It was just my false hope
Forgot all your past 
All those girls you denied
Smashed up hearts hung out to dry

I was a fool for you
Right from the start, yeah
I was a fool for you 
Hoping for a spark 
For some kind of sign 
That you would be mine 

My heart was clutching
To one fair right
My head was pumping
It could put up a fight

I know it's wrong 
Hanging on too long
And I know it's wrong
Hanging on too long
And I need to move on 
I'm hanging on too long 

- Duffy

Leave Out All the Rest

I dreamed I was missing 
You were so scared
But no one would listen
Cause no one else cared 
After my dreaming
I woke with this fear
What am I leaving 
when I'm done here? 
So if you're asking me I want you to know

Don't be afraid
I've taken my beating 
I've shared what I made 
I'm strong on the surface 
Not all the way through 
I've never been perfect 
But neither have you 
So if you're asking me I want you to know

When my time comes
Forget the wrong that i've done
Help me leave behind some
Reasons to be missed
Don't resent me
And when you're feeling empty
Keep me in your memory
Leave out all the rest

Forgetting / all the hurt inside you learned to hide so well 
Pretending / someone else can come and save me from myself 
I can't be who you are

- Linkin Park

After This Plan

I felt your love slip away
You know you shouldn't want to stay
Tell me why you've come back here
It hurts to have you here

The roaring silence fills the air I gotta get myself out of here
Spilling coffee on my shoe, I shiver 'cause of you
My heart turns black and blue

How can I be with you after this war?
My feelings are sore, baby
Why did you come back to hurt me some more?
This is after the war

Now in this war I can't pretend
And our souls can never mend
This has to be the end
I've got to leave it all behind On my way to another life - my new life
I have to go, baby
I.. have, baby, oh yeah

Yeah, why did you come back?
Please let me know, I don't understand
Why did you hurt me again?
This is after the war and I can't let you go

- Masterplan

Untouched

Don't even talk about the consequence
'Cause right now you're the only thing that's making any sense to me 
And I don't give a damn what they say or what they think
Think 'cause you're the only one who's on my mind 
I'll never ever let you leave me
I'll try to stop time forever
Never want to hear you say goodbye 
Goodbye
Bye

Don't even think about what's right or wrong
Or wrong
Or right
'Cause in the end it's only you and me 
And no one else is gonna be around to answer all the questions left behind
And you and I are meant to be
So even if the world falls down today you still got me to hold you up 
And I won't ever let you down

I feel so untouched and I want you so much that I just can't resist you 
It's not enough to say that I miss you 
I feel so untouched right now 
Need you so much somehow 
I can't forget you
Going crazy from the moment I met you

- The Veronicas

No Air

If I should die before I wake
It's cause you took my breath away
Losing you is like living in a world with no air

I'm here alone, didn't wanna leave
My heart won't move, it's incomplete
Wish there was a way 
that I could make you understand

I walked I ran I jumped I flew
Right off the ground to float to you
Theres no gravity to hold me down for real

But somehow I'm still alive inside
You took my breath but I survived
I don't know how but I don't even care

But how do you expect me
To live alone with just me
Cause my world revolves around you
it's so hard for me to breathe

Tell me how I'm supposed to breathe with no air
Can't live, can't breathe with no air
It's how I feel whenever you ain't there

Got me out here in the water so deep
Tell me how you going to breathe without me
If you ain't here I just can't breathe
There's no air 

- Jordin Sparks & Chris Brown

Walking on Sunshine

I used to think maybe you loved me, now baby I'm sure
And I just can’t wait ‘til the day when you knock on my door
Now everytime I go for the mailbox, gotta hold myself down
‘Cause I just can't wait ‘till you write me you're coming around

I used to think maybe you loved me, now I know that it’s true
And I don’t want to spend my whole life, just waiting for you
Now I don’t want you back for the weekend 
Not back for a day, no no no
I said baby I just want you back and I want you to stay

I’m walking on sunshine whoa
I’m walking on sunshine whoa
I’m walking on sunshine whoa
And don’t it feel good

I’ll say it again now
And don’t it feel good ;)

I feel alive, I feel the love, I feel the love that’s really real
I feel alive, I feel the love, I feel the love that’s really real

- Katrina & the Waves

Come a Little Closer

I know that it's late
and maybe I shouldn't be so into you
It's just that tonight
I am so taken, I've fallen for you
When I look in your eyes I can see
a million possibilities
and I know you'll be leaving me soon
but tonight...

Come a little bit closer
Let me hold you baby
I will be good to you
And we can try 
to forget tomorrow
and make it last forever tonight

So if you must go
Know that I'll be missing you, wishing you closer
So let's make the most of these
moments together, we'll never forget
And it's breaking my heart 'cause I know
that tomorrow you'll be miles away
And I catch myself wanting so much more
Tonight

- Brandy

Every Day is Exactly the Same

I believe I can see the future
Cause I repeat the same routine
I think I used to have a purpose 
But then again, that might have been a dream 

I think I used to have a voice 
Now I never make a sound 
I just do what I’ve been told
I really don’t want them to come around, oh no

I can feel their eyes are watching 
In case I lose myself again 
Sometimes I think I’m happy here 
(Sometimes) 
Sometimes, yet I still pretend 

I can’t remember how this got started
Oh, but I can tell you exactly how it will end

I’ll write it on a little piece of paper 
I’m hoping, someday, you might find 
Well I’ll hide it behind something 
They won’t look behind 

I am still inside her
A little bit comes bleeding through 
I wish this could’ve been any other way
But I just don’t know, I don’t know what else I can do

Every day is exactly the same
Every day is exactly the same
There is no love here and there is no pain 
Every day is exactly the same 

- NIN

Strong Enough

God, I feel like hell tonight
Tears of rage I cannot fight
I'd be the last to help you understand
Are you strong enough to be my man?

Nothing's true and nothing's right
So let me be alone tonight
Cause you can't change the way I am
are you strong enough to be my man?

I have a face I cannot show
I make the rules up as I go
So try and love me if you can
are you strong enough to be my man?

My man......
Are you strong enough? (to be my man....)
Are you strong enough? (to be my man....)
Are you strong enough? (my.....man)

When I've shown you that I just don't care
When I'm throwing punches in the air
When I'm broken down and I can't stand...
would you be man enough to be my man?

(Lie to me
I promise, I'll believe
Lie to me
but please don't leave)

- Sheryl Crow

Solitary Serenade

When I see your perfect smile
My heart will cry
My broken heart will hide itself in the shadow
In this solitary space
Seems like floating in
To the darkest night

Reachin' for the stars
Talkin' to the moon
With that bravery
When I look up to the sky
And then will pass away
Just the same way

All the things unsaid
All the things undone
Lock me in this place
Never let me see the truth
And then will hide away
Just the same way

Hold my love again
Wishing on a night for ever
And then, and then again
I will be myself to find a way
Hold my love again
Praying for my dream for evermore
And then, someday again
I will get through the night

- Sekiyama Aika

So What?

I guess I just lost my husband
I don't know where he went
So I'm gonna drink my money
I'm not gonna pay his rent (nope)
I've got a brand new attitude, and I'm gonna wear it tonight
I wanna get in trouble
I wanna start a fight


The waiter just took my table
and gave it to Jessica Simps
I guess Ill go sit with drum boy 
at least hell know how to hit
What if this flops on the radio, then somebodys gonna die!
I'm going to get in trouble,
my ex will start a fight

You weren't there
You never were 
You want it all but that's not fair
I gave you life
I gave my all
You weren't there, you let me fall

So, so what? I'm still a rock star
I got my rock moves
And I don't need you
And guess what
I'm havin more fun
And now that we're done
I'm gonna show you tonight
I'm alright
I'm just fine
And you're a tool so
So what
I am a rock star
I got my rock moves
And I don't want you tonight

- Pink

Take Me Away

You, there is no one like you
And all the things you do
I want to spend my time with you 
I, hope that I am your type
And that we could tonight
Discover what new love is all about

Trying to close my mind of many folks running me wrong
This case won’t leave me alone
We’ve gone working the wack
Trying to trash my stature we won’t go
On a tedious to go pull strings
Turbeo wanna clip my wings
Through swadies purt to play
Rascals running with teeth quechin’ needed so can you...

Take me away
Take me to a place where our love must be alone
Take me away
Take me by the hand and control what is going on
No matter what we may go through you got to understand
That I want you, I need you, each day
So take me away 

I, I never was too shy
I really don’t know why
Tonight is gonna be alright
Hey, let’s try to get away
This love is here to stay
Because you make me feel this way

Pressure wants to punch my poise
Church stealing my joys
Time strip wanna take my toys
Swindlin’ my supplies
The squeeze but it’s lacking the breeze
Vics though seek the please
The readings found the gold
The devil’s taking us over 
We can break for mine decay
Bitterness all over my back 
Need tension, quenching, can you...?

Dying Alone

Can't you see me falling an endless fall?
Can't you hear me calling a neverending call?
Can't you see me bleeding? I'm losing control
Can't you see me dying? I'm dying alone

- Blutengel

Populace In Two

Your memories will always haunt me like a ghost
to put it nicely, I hope you choke
A poet of sorts but I'm not enough to give you an eyesore
it's hard to swallow with your hands around my throat
I'm sick and tired of 'I told you so'
you can call me at home but I know better than to answer the phone
When people ask about the last time that we spoke
I let the stiches do the talking for the most part
and I leave out how you threw the lamp through my front window

Even if I spend 2004 listening to Morrisey in my car
I'm better off alone than I would be in your arms

In your arms...
... I'm better off alone

Just burn the photographs and bury all the pages that we knew
in short this is a long goodbye to unexpecting you

The Heart May Freeze Or It Can burn
The Pain Will Ease If I Can Learn

There Is No future
There Is No past
I Live This Moment As My Last

There's Only Us
There's Only This
Forget. Regret. Or Life Is Yours To Miss
No Other Road
No Other Way
No Day But Today

There's Only Yes
Only Tonight
We Must Let Go
To Know What is Alright
No Other Course
No Other Way
No Day But Today

I Cant control

I Trust My Soul
My only hope
is just to be

There' only Now
There's Only Here

Doth I Protest Too Much

I'm not threatened by every pair of legs you watch go by
I don't cringe when you stare at women, it's just a thing called guy
I don't notice your sideways glances or where your loyalty lies
I'm secure and out of me it's hard to get a rise

I'm not jealous
I don't get moved by much
I'm not enraged
not insecure as such
not going insane
rational stays in touch
Doth I protest too much

I'm not tortured by how oft you're busy
'cause I've got things to do
I'm not disappointed about how you don't miss me
'cause I don't need you to

I'm not needy
I don't get clingy much
I am not scared
I'm not afraid as such
I'm not dependent
Rock solid stays in touch
Doth I protest too much

So much energy to prove to you who I can't possibly be
So much energy to prove to you I'm not who you hate for me to be

I'm not depressed
I don't get down that much
I'm not despondent
I am not dark as such
I'm never sad
Keep chin up stays in touch
Doth I protest too much

- Alanis Morisette

Not Yours Truly

Watch me, as I’m coming in the room I feel your stare
Watch me, in a crowd of people I can feel you there
Watch me, cause I’m mine and you don’t own me
Watch me, I’ll use you and abuse you then leave you lonely

Touch me, yeah I know you want to, but you know you can’t
Touch me, I get more satisfaction with my own hands
Touch me, yeah I know you like it when I scream your name
Touch me, yeah you know I’d let you but you’d go insane

Watch me
Touch me
I know you want me
I’m so sexy

Don’t expect too much from me
I’m not your little girl
Don’t expect too much from me
Cuz I’m not your little girl
I’m not yours

Watch me, cause I’m mine and you don’t own me

(How Little It Matters) How Little We Know

How little we know, how much to discover
what chemical forces flow from lover to lover
How little we understand what touches off that tingle,
that sudden explosion when two tingles intermingle

Who cares to define what chemistry this is?
Who cares, with your lips on mine, how ignorant bliss is?
So long as you kiss me, and the world around us shatters,
How little it matters, how little we know

- Frank Sinatra

Waiting

It's hard to say I'm sorry
It's hard to stand here alone
You're that someone
I can't get you off my mind
It's hard to say I miss you 
It's hard to stand here alone
You're that someone
I just hope that you're all right

You're the only one I'm aiming for
You're amazing just because you are 
I miss you more than ever
I'll wait for you forever

Time won't wait
So I guess that it's all too late

You're the only one that I've ever known
I'll stay right here forever
I just hope I won't regret it 

Time won't wait
So I guess it's all too late
And life won't wait, so I guess that it's all too late

Better Part of Me

On my way to a place I know
at the end of the day
I can make my way out of here
and the lights burn my eyes
it reminds me of where I used to call my home

Stand on your own
turn and face your fears
it's the only way to know
what you've been living for all these years

And the sun never looked so good from here
it's almost as if yesterday could disappear
I'm standing on the edge of what could be
looking for the better part of me

So tell me where to go
to find a better way
out of this lonely place

I'm on the edge of what could be
looking for the better part of me
Is there a life that death could bring,
is this the better part of me?

Stop & Stare

This town is colder now, I think it's sick of us 
It's time to make our move, I'm shakin off the rust 
I've got my heart set on anywhere but here 
I'm staring down myself, counting up the years 
Steady hands, just take the wheel... 
And every glance is killing me 
Time to make one last appeal... for the life I lead 

They're tryin to come back, all my senses push 
Un-tie the weight bags, I never thought I could... 
Steady feet, don't fail me now 
Gonna run till you can't walk 
But something pulls my focus out 
And I'm standing down... 

Stop and stare 
I think I'm moving but I go nowhere 
Yeah I know that everyone gets scared 
But I've become what I can't be, oh 
Stop and stare 
You start to wonder why you're here not there 
And you'd give anything to get what's fair 
But fair ain't what you really need

Loving Strangers

Young and free, kicking the fences down
Somewhere hearts are breaking but he can't hear the sound
They got nothin' in common
He smiles away on the wings of a dream

He's all caught up in that world of his
She says I'm gonna miss you but I can't live like this
We got nothin' in common
So sad to say it has to be this way

I can feel there's a hope on the wind
The sound of your voice - I think I hear a friend
We got nothin' in common
I know we don't, but it won't stay that way

Everyone on a road of their own
Everyone gotta find a heart, a home
Loving strangers - that's you and me
Give a way to love, give a little honesty

Everybody needs to know if there will somewhere someday be someone to call their own.
Everybody needs to hope that there will one day come a someone just in time

- Christopher Cross


I'm stronger than this. I am.

Curly Sue

Your strength is so hard to find
I feel so much stronger now
the feeling's alright
Your words make me whole again
Those eyes cannot ever lie
you're so divine

I'm not ever alone
You're not ever alone

Your smile is heavenly
I don't deserve all the love that your giving to me
Your touch makes it hard to breathe
the shiver's around me now, you're so fine 

The heart is pumping for my life
the mind is happy and I,
I will love you 'til the day I die 

I'm head over heels goddess of mine
your curls touching my face and now I can fly
You brought my life back
the glory you found
I'm in deep debt, without you I wouldn't survive
I'm not ever alone

For J.

Coming Back to You

Ive been here before
I'll be back for more
Maybe this time I can stay
forever more

Wonder what the future brings
Fortune tellers and time machines
I predict what they'll predict for me:
that I keep coming back to you,

One day they'll get it right
I will live and I will die
a million times, as long as you are mine,
I keep coming back to you,

Go back and go ahead, over again I'll meet you, baby
Tomorrow, yesterday's impossible to leave you, baby
Any way and ev'ry day,
I'll take you baby

They call it deja vu, but I'm, I'm just in love with you
(I'm just in love with you)
(Forever more)
(I'm just in love with you)
Keep coming back to you
Over and over again
I've been here before
I'll be back for more
Maybe this time I can stay

Tainted Love

Sometimes I feel I've got to
Run away I've got to
Get away
From the pain that you drive into the heart of me
The love we share
Seems to go nowhere
And I've lost my light
For I toss and turn I can't sleep at night

Now I know I've got to
Run away I've got to
Get away
You don't really want any more from me
To make things right
You need someone to hold you tight
And you think love is to pray
But I'm sorry I don't pray that way

Once I ran to you (I ran)
Now I'll run from you
This tainted love you've given
I give you all a girl could give you
Take my tears and that's not nearly all

Don't touch me please
I cannot stand the way you tease
I love you though you hurt me so
Now I'm going to pack my things and go
Touch me baby, tainted love
Touch me baby, tainted love

Disturbia

No more gas, in the rig
(Can't even get started)
Nothing heard, nothing said
(Can't even speak about it) 
All my life on my head
(Don't wanna think about it)
Feels like I'm going insane, yeah

It's a thief in the night to come and grab you
It can creep up inside you and consume you 
A disease of the mind it can control you
It's too close for comfort

Faded pictures on the wall
(It's like they're talkin to me)
Disconnectin' all the calls
(The phone don't even ring)
I gotta get out, oh
Figure this shit out
It's too close for comfort ohh

Put on your break lights
You're in the city of wonder
Ain't gon' play nice
Watch out you might just go under
Better think twice
Your train of thought will be altered
So if you must falter be wise

Your minds in disturbia
It's like the darkness is the light
Disturbia
Am I scarin' you tonight
Your minds in disturbia
Ain't used to what you like
Disturbia, disturbia

Release me from this curse I'm in
Tryin' to maintain but I'm struggling
If you can go
Think I'm gonna ahhhh

Bye Bye Beautiful

Finally the hills are without eyes
They are tired of painting a dead man`s face red
With their own blood

They used to love having so much to lose
Blink your eyes just once and see everything in ruins

Bye bye beautiful

Jacob`s ghost for the girl in white
Blindfold for the blind
Dead siblings walking the dying earth 

Noose around a choking heart
Eternity torn apart
Slow toll now the funeral bells 

”I need to die to feel alive” 

It`s not the tree that forsakes the flower 
But the flower that forsakes the tree 
Someday I`ll learn to love these scars 
Still fresh from the red-hot blade of your words

...How blind can you be, don`t you see...
...that the gambler lost all he does not have...

Did you ever hear what I told you 
Did you ever read what I wrote you 
Did you ever listen to what we played 
Did you ever let in what the world said 
Did we get this far just to feel your hate
Did we play to become only pawns in the game
How blind can you be, don`t you see 
You chose the long road but we`ll be waiting 

Bye bye beautiful

Me

One, just one more drink
One last cigarette and I am on my way
Oh last night, it’s all a haze
Here I pave my way through filth and broken glass

Something is not the same
Something is different from before
Guess that I, guess I died inside

When there’s nothing more
When I’d tried it all
Come undone, when the odds were close to none
When the moment’s there
The divide I beware
Then it’s me, only me

Torn, still torn and bruised
But I’ve had my run, and I’ll, I’ll see it through
All for you, my sweet farewell
Oh, I can’t believe that I survived this hell

I Kissed a Girl

This was never the way I planned
Not my intention.
I got so brave, drink in hand
Lost my discretion
It's not what I'm used to
Just want to try you on
I'm curious, for you,
Caught my attention

No, I don't even know your name
It doesn't matter
You're my experimental game
Just human nature
It's not what good girls do
Not how they should behave
My head gets so confused
Hard to obey

Us girls we are so magical
Soft skin, red lips, so kissable
Hard to resist, so touchable
Too good to deny it
Ain't no big deal it's innocent

I kissed a girl
And I liked it
The taste of her cherry chapstick
I kissed a girl
Just to try it
I hope my boyfriend don't mind it

It felt so wrong
It felt so right
Don't mean I'm in love tonight

I kissed a girl
And I liked it
(I liked it)

- Katy Perry

I Try

Games, changes and fears
when will they go from here
when will they stop ?
I believe that faith
has brought us here
and we should be together, babe
but we're not 

I may appear to be free
but I'm just a prisoner of your love
I may seem alright and smile when you leave
but my smiles are just a front, just a front

Here is my confession 
May I be your possession
Boy, I need your touch
Your love, kisses and such
With all my might, I try 
But this I can't deny

I play it off but I'm dreaming of you 
I'll keep my cool but I'm feigning

I try to say goodbye and I choke
I try to walk away and I stumble 
Though I try to hide it, it's clear
My world crumbles when you are not near

For What It's Worth

Hey baby come round
keep holding me down 
and I'll be keeping you up tonight
A four letter word got stuck in my head 
the dirtiest word that I've ever said 
it's making me feel alright

Hey please baby come back
there'll be no more loving attacks 
and I'll be keeping it cool tonight
The four letter word is out of my head 
come on around get back in my bed 
keep making me feel alright

For what it's worth, I like you
and what is worse, I really do
things have been worse and we had fun fun fun 
'til I said I love you 

For what it's worth, I love you 
and what is worse, I really do

Bleed Well

You had demons to kill within you screaming
with a gun loaded with guilt you opened their eyes
Love preys the living and praises the dead
In the heart of our hearts by death we were wed

No love lost under her will, I heard you weeping
And on those words a church was built to keep the pain in
If death is the answer to love’s mysteries
Then bleed on my darling to the sound of a dream

Bleed well the soul, you’re about to sell for passion deranged
Kiss and tell, baby we’re bleeding well
Bleed well the heart you’re about to fail for reasons insane
Kill and tell, baby we’re bleeding well in hell

Sister

Alone is now
then was together
I have only memories
that make me feel better
Time alone is my only drug
I'll never forget my sister

A city girl
A future to find
Frozen footsteps so cold
Back in time
A big mistake a wrong move
The lord moves in mysterious ways

She was torn between two worlds
of a city and a suburb
Were her shouts of anger
And frustration ever heard
But she...

... didn’t get out in time no
She didn’t no she didn’t
Get out in time
Was the future blind
Sister, oh sister
You're on my mind

He's A Tramp

What a dog. What a dog!

He's a tramp
but they love him
Breaks a new heart
every day

He's a tramp
They adore him
And I only hope he'll stay
that way

He's a tramp
He's a scoundrel
He's a rounder
He's a cad
He's a tramp
But I love him
Yes, even I have got it 
pretty bad

You can never tell when 
He'll show up
He gives you plenty
of trouble
I guess he's just a
no-count pup
But I wish that he
were double

He's a tramp
He's a rover
And there's nothing
more to say
If he's a tramp, he's a 
good one
And I wish that I could 
travel his way

He's a tramp
But I love him
Yes, even I have got it 
pretty bad

- Peggy Lee

It's Not The Fall That Hurts

All my life I’ve been fall- fall- falling apart, 
Been tumbling down quick first right from the start
I never learned just get up and go on 
Until I'm just knocked right off of my feet 

Stumblin' with every step I take
And it seems I can't get a grip
I'm soon gonna slip
And then I look down
I see the firm ground
It’s closening fast again 
And then boom 

But it's not the fall that hurts 
It's when you hit the ground 
‘Cause it's not the fall that hurts 
it's when you hit the ground.

- Caesars

If You Can't Leave It Be, Might As Well Make It Bleed

What you found sure upset you, 
never saw it coming did you? 
It’s easy to be surprised
with both your eyes sewn closed.

Handled with great precision,
another faultless execution,
you’re the subject of this exhibition,
a willing cadaver, a willing cadaver. 

These cuts are leaving creases. 
Trace the scars, to fit the pieces, 
to tell my story, I don’t need to say a word. 

Your wires are frayed, can’t fire right,
you look better when out of sight, 
you were not made to stand and fight,
there’s something better wrong with you. 

Your pulse is anemic, you’re tired of the fire,
you’re bruising too easily, and falling behind, 
and no one is waiting for you,
and no one is waiting for you.
And no one is waiting for you,
and no one is waiting,
and no one is waiting for you,
for you, for you.

So call off the quarantine, 
you can't save the rest from me. 
Clean this with kerosene,
if you can’t leave it be, might as well make it bleed. 

Scalped, sutured, made whole again.

- Dashboard Confessional

What's Love Got To Do With It

You must understand though the touch of your hand
makes my pulse react
that it's only the thrill of boy meeting girl
Opposittes attract
It's physical
Only logical
You must try to ignore that it means more than that

It may seem to you that I'm acting confused
when you're close to me
if a tend to look dazed I've read it someplace
I've got cause to be
There's a name for it
There's a phrase that fits
But whatever the reason you do it for me

What's love got to do, got to do with it?
What's love but a second hand emotion?
What's love got to do, got to do with it?
Who needs a heart when a heart can be broken?

I've been taking on a new direction
But I have to say
I've been thinking about my own protection
It scares me to feel this way

- Tina Turner

My Friends

These are my friends, see how they glisten?
See this one shine, how he smiles in the light,
My friends, my faithful friends...

Speak to me, friend; whisper, I'll listen.
I know, I know, you've been locked out of sight
All these years! Like me, my friend!
Well, I've come home -- to find you waiting!
Home, and we're together...
And we'll do wonders...
Won't we...?

You there, my friend,
(I'm your friend too, Mr. Todd.)
Come, let me hold you.
(If you only knew, Mr. Todd.)
Now, with a sigh,
(Ooh, Mr. Todd,)
You grow -warm in my hand...
(You're warm in my hand-...)
My friend,
(You've come home)
My clever friend...
(Always had a fondness for you, I did...)

Rest now, my friends.
(Never you fear, Mr. Todd.)
Soon I'll unfold you.
(You can move in here, Mr. Todd.)
Soon you'll know
-Splendors you never have dreamed all your days...
(Splendors you never have dreamed all your days-)
(Will be yours!)
My lucky friends!
(I'm your friend-)
'Till now your shine
(Now you're mine!)
(Don't they shine beautiful?)
Was merely silver.
(Silver's good enough for me,)

Friends,
(Mr. T...)
You shall drip rubies,
You'll soon drip precious...
Rubies...

Not While I'm Around

Nothing's gonna harm you, not while I'm around.
Nothing's gonna harm you, no sir, not while I'm around.

Demons are prowling everywhere, nowadays,
I'll send 'em howling,
I don't care, I got ways.

No one's gonna hurt you,
No one's gonna dare.
Others can desert you,
Not to worry, whistle, I'll be there.

Demons'll charm you with a smile, for a while,
But in time...
Nothing can harm you
Not while I'm around...

Not to worry, not to worry
I may not be smart but I ain't dumb
I can do it, put me to it
Show me something I can overcome
Not to worry

Being close and being clever
Ain't like being true
I don't need to,
I would never hide a thing from you,
Like some...

Red Is Blue

Everything is changing
You're looking for the cure
and you feel like you're the loneliest girl in the world
Trouble in your head now
Don't know what to do
Seems like up is down and red is blue

Remember when we started
Days when all was fun
All that we could make when life was young
Now you're getting older
Nothing feels the same
You can't even make sense of your own name

Because red is blue
(Doesn't make much sense)
But red is blue
(Messing with your head now)
Red is blue

Bleeding Love

Closed off from love
I didn’t need the pain 
Once or twice was enough 
And it was all in vain
Time starts to pass
Before you know it you’re frozen 

But something happened 
For the very first time with you
My heart melted to the ground
Found something true
And everyone’s looking round
Thinking I’m going crazy 

Trying hard not to hear
But they talk so loud
Their piercing sounds fill my ears 
Try to fill me with doubt 
Yet I know that the goal
Is to keep me from falling

But nothing’s greater
Than the rush that comes with your embrace
And in this world of loneliness
I see your face
Yet everyone around me
Thinks that I’m going crazy

And it’s draining all of me 
Oh they find it hard to believe
I’ll be wearing these scars
For everyone to see 

I don’t care what they say
I’m in love with you
They try to pull me away
My heart’s crippled by the vein 
That I keep on closing 
You cut me open and I

Keep bleeding 

- Leona Lewis

(No. Not love. At all.)

I Will Do Anything For Love (But I Won't Do That)

And I would do anything for love,
I'd run right into hell and back,
I would do anything for love,
I'll never lie to you and that's a fact.
But I'll never forget the way you feel right now
- Oh no, no way -

And some days it don't come easy,
And some days it don't come hard
Some days it don't come at all,
and these are the days that never end.

And some nights you're breathing fire,
And some nights you're carved in ice,
Some nights you're like nothing I've ever
seen before, or will again.

And maybe I'm crazy,
Oh it's crazy and it's true,
I know you can save me,
No one else can save me now but you.

As long as the planets are turning,
As long as the stars are burning,
As long as your dreams are coming true -
you better believe it!

That I would do anything for love!
And I'll be there till the final act
And I would do anything for love!
And I'll take the vow and seal a pact

But I'll never forgive myself if we don't go all the way
Tonight.

And some days I pray for Silence,
And some days I pray for Soul,
Some days I just pray to the God
Of Sex and Drums and Rock 'N' Roll.

And some nights I lose the feeling
And some nights I lose control
Some nights I just lose it all
When I watch you dance and the thunder rolls

And maybe I'm lonely,
That's all I'm qualified to be,
There's just one and only,
One and only promise I can keep.

As long as the wheels are turning,
As long as the fires are burning,
As long as your prayers are coming true
You better believe it!

That I would do anything for love!
And you know it's true and thats a fact,
I would do anything for love!
And there'll never be no turning back

But I'll never do it better than I do it with you,
So long

But I'll never stop dreaming of you every night of my life,
No way

Will you raise me up, will you help me down?
Will you help get me right out of this Godforsaken town?
Will you make it all a little less cold?

(I can do that.)

Will you hold me sacred, will you hold me tight?
Will you colorize my life,
I'm so sick of black and white!
Can you make it all a little less old?

(Oh, Oh, I can do that!)

Will you make me some magic with your own two hands?
Can you build an Emerald city with these grains of sand?
Can you give me something I can take home?

(I can do that)

Will you cater to every fantasy I've got?
Will ya hose me down with holy water - if I get too hot?
Will you take me to places I'll never know?

(I can do that!)

After a while you'll forget everything,
Just a brief interlude, and a mid-summer night's fling,
Then you'll see that it's time to move on.

I know the territory - I've been around,
It'll all turn to dust and we'll all fall down,
Sooner or later you'll be screwing around...

(No, I won't do that.)

- Meat Loaf

Metal and Steel

I am metal I am steel
I don't mind cause I can't feel a thing
I'm a diamond ring

I'm not flesh & I'm not bone
And I'm not sad & I'm not all alone
I'm a stone

I'll be silver & I'll be gold
Without a heart and without even a soul
I'll be coal
I won't be blood and teeth and skin
& I won't feel the pain I'm in
I'll be tin, no heart within

The king is dead and the queen has flown
Left me here in the twilight zone
Lost & looking for a way to get back home
But there's no right & there's no wrong
And I'll be good & I'll be strong

I'll be metal and I'll be steel
And I won't mind cause I won't feel a thing

- Bob Schneider

Hand

I'm here waiting 
for something new to break my heart
So callous laden, that I can't feel a thing at all
So... will You catch my fall?

The fear is keeping time
with the beating of my heart
I'm Doin' way too much thinkin'
And it's tearing me apart
Then I, I feel You reach for me

I hear Your voice and follow (through the dark)
So hard to believe, and still I go
Yeah, still I go
From lost and not found to run and not hide
My hand inside ... Your hand
Losing my grip, falling so far
My hand inside, inside ... Your hand

- Jars of Clay

Only You

Looking from a window above
it's like a story of love
... can you hear me?
Came back only yesterday
We´re moving further away
Want you near me

Sometimes when I think of his name
when it's only a game
and I need you
Listen to the words that you say
it's getting harder to stay
when I see you

This is going to take a long time
and I wonder what's mine
can't take no more
Wonder if you'll understand
... it's just the touch of your hand
behind a closed door

All I needed was the love you gave
All I needed for another day
and all I ever knew
only you

- Yazoo

Checkmarks

So there you are, and here I stand,
as far as I remember you weren't half bad
Your bedroom behavior was never more
then checkmarks on bedposts.
For I remember we never had.

So don't explain cause I know exactly what your going to say.
Big words, recycled phrases, and the bittersweet taste 
of other girls on your lips.
So now just sit here and talk about how you wanted it all.

You get me out of the rain, you get me out of my clothes.
You hope I don't make a sound, you hope that nobody knows.

Do you miss looking up from the floor at my face
on a stage in a crowded room?
Well it's not the same.
I bet you're still a sucker for those famous faces.
Downtown, looking down, down, looking over the crowd,
I hope you're out there, look at me now.
Well it's not the same.
Just look at how we've changed.

So suck your so called pity down.
Hey, that's not so bad, is it?
So take your cold, cold heart and drown
and don't forget to take deep breaths.

- The Academy Is

Empty Inside

I can't show pain 
Long for the days,
when I am free to feel

Don't want to lose everything
just want to feel again
My heart would burst for you
if that would make things right

I don't feel anything
Outside the pain you bring
starting over doesn't look so bad this time

I am not empty inside
though I long to make this right
Emotions still touch me
still I can't feel a thing
Like ghosts they melt into the fog
and leave me cold

Only shadows and impressions
are left for me to hold
My heart would burst for you
if that would make you whole

- All That Remains

It's My Life

It's funny how I find myself 
in love with you
If I could buy my reasoning
I'd pay to lose 
One half won't do 

I've asked myself
How much do you 
Commit yourself? 

Funny how I blind myself 
I never knew
If I was sometimes played upon
Afraid to lose

Oh, I'd tell myself 
what good do you do? 
Convince myself 

It's my life 
Don't you forget
Caught in the crowd
It never ends (It never ends)


- No Doubt

Apathy

Surprised to hear your voice
coming through my telephone
The last time that we talked
was about two years ago.

You know I’m afraid to ask
but I wonder why you called
Do I know the reason why?
Do I still know you at all? yeah...

Don’t take me back to the place where
we felt alone when we're together
Just grip the time when we were sinking
when we were nothing but a state of apathy.

You’re asking me to think
about the love that we had
But there was not enough
for me to go back again

And I can't say it it hurt
when you left me that way
Nothing else you can do
And there’s nothing you can say

Let me go...

- Faron Dawe

Breathing

Eyes are feeling heavy
But they never seem to close
The fan blades on the ceiling spin
But the air is never cold
And even though you're next to me
I still feel so alone
I just can't give you anything
For you to call your own

Something I've been keeping
Locked away behind my lips
I can feel it breaking free
With each and every kiss
I couldn't bear to hurt you
But it's all so different now
Things that I was sure of 
They have filled me up with doubt

How am I supposed to feel
about the things I've done?
I don't know if I should stay
or turn around and run
I know that I hurt you
Things will never be the same
The only love I ever knew
I threw it all away

And I can feel you breathing
And it's keeping me awake
Can you feel it beating?
My heart's sinking like a weight

And I can feel you breathing
And its keeping me awake
Could you stop my heart?
It's always beating...
... sinking like a weight

- Yellowcard

Why Do You Love Me?

I'm no Barbie doll
I'm not your baby girl
I've done ugly things
And I have made mistakes
And I am not as pretty as those girls in magazines
I am rotten to my core if they're to be believed
So what if I'm no baby bird hanging upon your every word? 
Nothing ever smells of roses that rises out of mud

You're not some little boy
Why you acting so surprised? 
You're sick of all the rules?
Well I'm sick of all your lies
Now I've held back a wealth of shit, I think I'm gonna choke
I'm standing in the shadows with the words stuck in my throat
Does it really come as a surprise when I tell you I don't feel good? 
Nothing ever came from nothing man
Oh man ain't that the truth?

I think you're sleeping with a friend of mine
I have no proof but I think that I'm right
And you've still got the most beautiful face
It just makes me sad most of the time

I get back up and I do it again 
I get back up and I do it again 
I get back up and I do it again 
I get back up and I do it, do it again 

Why do you love me? 
Why do you love me? 
Why do you love me? 
It's driving me crazy

Hon Är Redan Här

Morgondiset har skingrats och dagen är här
I luften vilar en spänning och ett begär
Du har sagt att idag ska du slåss för din sak
Jag tittar ut över nejden du kommer nog snart
Trodde du att hon var någon man väljer sig
Trodde du att jag var någon som skräms av dig

Jag kunde sagt nå’t men fann ingen stolthet i det
Och det ligger nått vacker i att ingen vet
När du slog dig för bröstet och sa hon var din
Var du redan förlorad och segern var min
Trodde du att hon var någon du kunde ta
Trodde du att du var någon som hon ville ha

En öppen hand kan få och ge
Kan visa allt och lite mer
I samma stund du knöt din hand
Rann allt det vackra ut som sand

Hon är redan här, ligger tätt intill, för hon kan och hon vill
Hon var redan min långt innan du förstod
Utan kamp och blod kom hon hit

Trick Me

Said I've paid my dues for all that I've done
And I've showed you that I loved you more than once
There's nothing left there to decide
Said you might trick me once
I won't let you trick me twice
Freedom to us has always been a trick
Freedom to you has always been whoever landed on your dick
Seen it in you one too many times
Said you might trick me once
I won't let you trick me twice, no

Those days are old and overdone
And it's only 'cause I'm not with you that you make me number one
Though I may love you
It hurts me deep inside, yeah
Now you no longer have to hide

I used to be down with the late night hit
Started gettin' heavy when I really wasn't ready
Used my past to get my mind
So I fell for your lies like all the time
I thought you were the shit to be playin' around
Call the police there's a mack on town
Couldn't get even here without a sound
It's not how I wanna get down, yeah

Don't Disappoint Me

Don't push your luck too hard  
Never hurt my heart  
Don't disappoint me  
(if you love me ) 

You turn the other way  
don't you hear me say  
If you love me,  
don't disappoint me  

You say you think of me  
how can I be sure? 
If you love me  
(do you love me?)

You're gonna say goodbye  
Baby tell me why  
You disappoint me  
Though you love me  
(say you love me)

In this world  
where nothing seems to be okay  
Don't ever turn your back to me  
and go away  
(don't disappoint me) 

Don't make me sad  

(Please don't say goodbye  
Stay one more night  
And make it allright )

Don't disappoint me

One Man's Woman

You know that I love you, my love made me your fool
The way down deep inside, I know you never will be true
But I'll keep holdin' on for love just as long as I can

Sometimes I have a notion to get revenge but then
Since I'm in love who cares about the place I've never been
When temptation smiled at me into your arms I ran

But I can't let that change me into somethin' I can't stand
I give you all the love I have but your love is out of hand
I'm one man's woman but you're any woman's man.

- Loretta Lynn

Hahn's Point

I read somewhere that every wall is 
a door to something new
Well, if that's true - why can't I get through?

'Cause I'm not who I thought I was
And I can't explain

I could walk around -
fall in love with a face or two
But it wouldn't be you -
no, it wouldn't be you

'Cause you're not who I thought you were

But it feels like I'm falling through a hole in my heart
Falling through a hole in my heart.
Don't try to reach for nothing at all.

I can't, I can't explain.
