Lyrics – I know your life is empty And you hate to face this world alone So you’re searching for an angel Someone who can make you whole I cannot save you I can’t even save myself So just save yourself I know that you’ve been damaged Your soul has suffered such abuse But I am not your savior I am just as fucked as you (I am just as fucked as you) I cannot save you I can’t even save myself So just save yourself Please don’t take pity on me Please don’t take pity on me Please don’t take pity on me Please don’t take pity on me My life has been a nightmare…
My 2 Cents – The broken attract the broken. I feel like we try to lean on those like us because we know that they will understand. Most days that is neither good or bad, but we need to learn to stand alone and heal as well.
Train roll on On down the line, won’t you Please take me far away Now I feel the wind blow Outside my door, means I’m I’m leaving my woman at home, Lordy Tuesday’s gone with the wind Oh, my baby’s gone, with the wind And I don’t know Oh, where I’m going I just want to be left alone Well, when this train ends I’ll try again, oh but I’m I’m leaving my woman at home, Lordy Tuesday’s gone, with the wind Tuesday’s gone, with the wind Tuesday’s gone, with the wind My baby’s gone, with the wind Train roll on Tuesday’s gone The train roll on A many miles from my home, see I’m I’m riding my blues away, yeah Well Tuesday, you see Oh, she had to be free, Lord but Somehow I got to carry on, Lordy Tuesday’s gone, with the wind Tuesday’s gone, with the wind Tuesday’s gone, with the wind, oh My baby’s gone, with the wind Train, roll on, ooh’ Cause my baby’s gone I’m riding my blues babe Trying to ride my blues Ride on train Ride on train Ride my blues, babe Come back to me, babe Come back to me, oh, train
My 2 Cents – Lynard Skynard did it first, but I love Metallica’s cover. This is a song from my teens. Considering the fresh passing of the year, I find myself nostalgic. Craving foods from childhood and listening to the music I loved then. I grew up on country, it was all mama would listen to. I went wild. I listen to everything. Classical, classic rock, country, Rhythm and Blues, Bluegrass, rap, heavy metal, pop. you name the genre and I likely have a favorite band. I firmly believe music shows us who a person is…based on their music preferences. That being said…I will listen to just about anything, and give honest opinions. it is unusual for me to prefer the cover, but this is one where I do, What is your favorite song?
I live inside my own world of make-believe Kids screaming in their cradles, profanities I see the world through eyes covered in ink and bleach Cross out the ones who heard my cries and watched me weep I love everything Fire’s spreading all around my room My world’s so bright It’s hard to breathe but that’s alright Hush Shh Tape my eyes open to force reality (oh no, no) Why can’t you just let me eat my weight in glee? I live inside my own world of make-believe Kids screaming in their cradles, profanities Some days I feel skinnier than all the other days And some days I can’t tell if my body belongs to me I love everything Fire’s spreading all around my room My world’s so bright It’s hard to breathe but that’s alright Hush Shh I wanna taste your content Hold your breath and feel the tension Devils hide behind redemption Honesty is a one-way gate to hell I wanna taste consumption Breathe faster to waste oxygen Hear the children sing aloud It’s music ’til the wick burns out Hush Just wanna be care free lately, yeah Just kicking up daisies Got one too many quarters in my pockets Count ’em like the four-leaf clovers in my locket Untied laces, yeah Just tripping on daydreams Got dirty little lullabies playing on repeat Might as well just rot around the nursery and count sheep
My 2 cents The problem with being so open minded with music is that choosing just one a week to share is tough. Today I went looking for a song that reflected the confusion in my mind most of the time, the creative draw, the pain, the uncertainty… and I came across this. it made sense. so it got selected to share.
The houses around me Are filled with people who panic They hear the noise and the static And then we all become frantic We hear the omens and legends We’re praising gold and our pleasures We’re looking over our shoulders Pretend we got it together Draw the blinds Check under your bed Hide your gold And hold your breath Feel the ghost In your chest Check your pulse You’re scared to death Para paranoia You know what’s coming for ya Venom in your blood And there’s no one here to warn ya Para paranoia You’ve been here before Ya can lock up all your doors But there’s a phantom in your foyer Para paranoia Para paranoia Para paranoia Controlled by the tension That’s taking all our attention To busy with expectations We’re losing all our convictions Draw the blinds Check under your bed Hide your gold And hold your breath Feel the ghost In your chest Check your pulse You’re scared to death Para paranoia You know what’s coming for ya Venom in your blood And there’s no one here to warn ya Para paranoia You’ve been here before Ya can lock up all your doors But there’s a phantom in your foyer Para paranoia Para paranoia Para paranoia Draw the blinds Check under your bed Hide your gold And hold your breath Feel the ghost In your chest Check your pulse You’re scared to death Para paranoia You know what’s coming for ya Venom in your blood And there’s no one here to warn ya Para paranoia You’ve been here before Ya can lock up all your doors But there’s a phantom in your foyer Para paranoia You know what’s coming for ya Venom in your blood And there’s no one here to warn ya Para paranoia You’ve been here before Ya can lock up all your doors But there’s a phantom in your foyer Para paranoia
My 2 Cents- I asked my daughter for a song for the week, and this was her suggestion. It is a fairly upbeat tune. I like the way the lyrics go. It is not a song I would normally go for admittedly. Still it is not a bad song in all.
Lyrics: I let myself fall into a lie I let my walls come down I let myself smile and feel alive I let my walls come down No matter how I try I don’t know why You push so far away You wrapped your hands tight around my heart And squeezed it full of pain With this knife I’ll cut out the part of me The part that cares for you With this knife I’ll cut out the heart of me The heart that cares for you I can’t believe the way you took me down I never saw the pain Coming in a million broken miles Like poison in my veins With this knife I’ll cut out the part of me The part that cares for you With this knife I’ll cut out the heart of me The heart that cares for you The hate and the fear The nightmares that wake me up In the tears The nightmares and (the hate)…
My 2 Cents: This song gets a bad rap I think. so many see it as emo. It is expressive and poetic. It feels like a song that I can relate to. sometimes that idea of taking a knife and cutting out the heart that wants to hang onto a toxic love…is strong.
Lyrics- Smoke a little weed, smoke a little weed I’ve been feelin’ low Pressure in my head, lay awake in bed I’m against the rose Been tryin’ to recover but nothin’ i do works ‘Cause hidin’ under the covers is only makin’ it worse I’m stuck Think this is growin’ up Too much is on my mind, always on my mind Need a little space Spend my days alone, can’t get off my phone Nothing goes my way Miss all of my friends and barely can file my taxes I’m halfway through my twenties Like, how the hell did this happen? I’m stuck My life is in a rut And i’ve been hopin’ these doors might open And i’ll be running from this place, free Constant pacing; this time, i’m wasting I can’t control these emotions in me Growin’ up I think i’ve seen better days, it’s gettin’ tough Always tryna seem like i’m okay I’m growin’ up Whatever that means, anyway I don’t know enough I’m just growin’ up Girlfriend wanna chill, girlfriend wanna chill I’ve been workin’ late I don’t got no time, workin’ all the time Too much on my plate And i don’t wanna fail, i’m bringin’ myself stress I can’t sit on my sofa, i’m lost and depressed And stuck I can’t say that enough Anxiety is high, i can’t even lie I’m not doin’ great Dishes in the sink, think i need a drink They gon’ have to wait Stay inside my room that now’s become a prison I hate these four walls, but only feel safe in ’em I’m stuck But no one gives a fuck And i’ve been hopin’ these doors might open And i’ll be running from this place, free Constant pacing; this time, i’m wasting I can’t control these emotions in me Growin’ up I think i’ve seen better days, it’s gettin’ tough Always tryna seem like i’m okay I’m growin’ up Whatever that means, anyway I don’t know enough I’m just growin’ up Growin’ up I think i’ve seen better days, it’s gettin’ tough Always tryna seem like i’m okay I’m growin’ up Whatever that means, anyway I don’t know enough I’m just growin’ up Growin’ up
My 2 Cents – Well here lately I have been wondering who made me a grown up? I am struggling with responsibility and the urge to just have fun…so I really related to this one. I can’t imagine with the last year being the way it has that I am alone. so my song choice reflects it. It is ok to feel like you want to have fun, just don’t let it make you do something stupid.
Lyrics – All gone is here today Finding room to breathe Go on beyond your way And see And though the sounds of someday May be home And though the sounds of someday May be home Even the fires on the road Trying to get away And all the stars seem on a roll Out of control today Though the sounds of someday May be home And though the sounds of someday May be home, yeah Though the sounds of someday May be home Though the sounds of someday May be home, ay And though the sounds of someday May be home, ooh
My 2 Cents – This song talks of hope…in a world gone crazy it feels like we need hope…in abundance. Jensen has a gorgeous voice, and I need hope…so I went with it.
She put him out like the burnin’ end of a midnight cigarette She broke his heart, he spent his whole life tryin’ to forget We watched him drink his pain away a little at a time But he never could get drunk enough to get her off his mind Until the night He put that bottle to his head and pulled the trigger And finally drank away her memory Life is short, but this time it was bigger Than the strength he had to get up off his knees We found him with his face down in the pillow With a note that said, ‘I’ll love her till I die.’ And when we buried him beneath the willow The angels sang a whiskey lullaby The rumors flew but nobody knew how much she blamed herself For years and years she tried to hide the whiskey on her breath She finally drank her pain away a little at a time But she never could get drunk enough to get him off her mind Until the night She put that bottle to her head and pulled the trigger And finally drank away his memory Life is short, but this time it was bigger Than the strength she had to get up off her knees We found her with her face down in the pillow Clinging to his picture for dear life We laid her next to him beneath the willow While the angels sang a whiskey lullaby
My 2 Cents – So this song is sad…and has a very suicidal feeling to it. and this time of year this is something that many of us struggle with. You are important. You are worthy. If you need someone to talk to please reach out.
[Verse 1] Creeping eyes from across this masquerade Feeling scared, every stare will cut like blades Dead inside, try to hide behind And shake the tremors
[Verse 2] Hiding with a smile in a crowded place Moaning through the lips of a plastic face Every word just a code that screams Owned by terror Are you scared to see what lies beneath Behind these artificial teeth Through the guilty strings this mask Controls it’s wearer
[Chorus] Trapped in our own disguises Cut free but soulless still Our dreams our haunted by the Ghosts we kill Identities of silence In search of cheaper scares We’re all surrounded by the Masks we wear
[Verse 3] Vilified for deeds done in the light Hiding away within plain sight These cloaks are keeping safe The secret faces Terrified of making one mistake Narrow mind t’ill the soul begins to break We are just husks seeking The world’s false graces
[Chorus] Trapped in our own disguises Cut free but soulless still Our dreams our haunted by the Ghosts we kill Identities of silence In search of cheaper scares We’re all surrounded by the Masks we wear
[Verse 4] Awake within the moment Asleep throughout our lives We suffer in this torment Ensnared in our own lies In facelessness we’re equal When we’re not even there You’re someone underneath this Behind the mask you wear
[Chorus] Trapped in our own disguises Cut free but soulless still Our dreams our haunted by the Ghosts we kill Identities of silence In search of cheaper scares We’re all surrounded by the Masks we wear Trapped in our own disguises Cut free but soulless still Our dreams our haunted by the Ghosts we kill Identities of silence In search of cheaper scares We’re all surrounded by the Masks we wear
My 2 Cents
This year has a lot of mask themes. It feels like it is being encouraged more an more to hide who we truly are. I am not sure if I am happy about this. This song expresses that unease at the hiding of self. it makes me feel like I am less of a freak in the fact that I hate the hiding we do,
Lyrics There will be days when you’re falling down There will be days when you’re inside out There will be days when you fall apart Someone else will break you heart They’re never gonna hold you back I’m always gonna have your back So try to remember that I hope you’re happy I hope you’re good I hope you get what you wish for And you’re well understood And now I’m standing here and looking at you I wonder what the hell you’re gonna do With those Dr. Pepper eyes and you bubble gum hair Yeah, I’m standing right here I remember how I held you so right I remember that Saturday night, do you? There will be days when you’re falling down There will be days when you’re inside out There will be days when you fall apart Someone else will break you heart They’re never gonna hold you back I’m always gonna have your back So try to remember that I hope you’re happy I hope you’re good I hope you get what you wish for And you’re well understood And whatever your progress I know you’ll be fine Because I hope you’re happy Even if you’re not mine I remember when the world was ours to take I remember you next to me I remember you with every breath I take You’ll always have a piece of me I remember, yeah Try to remember that I remember every word that we spoke You right here next to me I remember how we tried and we tried I remember everything Try to remember that That I hope you’re happy That I hope you’re happy I hope you’re happy I hope you’re good I hope you get what you wish for And you’re well understood And whatever your progress I know you’ll be fine Because I hope you’re happy Even if you’re not mine Try to remember that I hope you’re happy
my 2 cents I think that everyone has this. that love that even if you can’t have them… you still wish them happy. I have several. so I decided that for today… I hope that you are happy.
