Bad Wolves – Killing Me Slowly

Lyrics – Killing me
Killing me
Killing me slowly

I built these walls to hide my ghosts
Your fingers trace the wounds exposed
I try and try to let you in
But I fail again and again

So I keep you at arm’s length and let you go
But I don’t wanna give you away
Yeah I keep you at arm’s length and let you go
But only if you promise to stay

You think you know that you know
But you really don’t know me
I know you love so hard
And it’s killing me slowly

And now I can’t eat, can’t sleep
Knowing that you’re not lonely
I know you love so hard
And it’s killing me slowly

Killing me
Killing me
Killing me slowly

I run this maze, erase my steps
With lips that lie, with every breath
You try and try to let me in
But I hurt you again and again

So I keep you at arm’s length and let you go
But I don’t wanna give you away
Yeah I keep you at arm’s length and let you go
But only if you promise to stay

You think you know that you know
But you really don’t know me
I know you love so hard
And it’s killing me slowly

And now I can’t eat, can’t sleep
Knowing that you’re not lonely
I know you love so hard
And it’s killing me slowly
Killing me slowly

You’re everything I need
I should have known, I should have known
You’re everything I need
I should have known

You’re everything I need
I should have known, I should have known
You’re everything I need
I should have known

You think you know that you know
But you really don’t know me
I know you love so hard
And it’s killing me slowly

And now I can’t eat, can’t sleep
Knowing that you’re not lonely
I know you love so hard
And it’s killing me slowly

You’re everything I need
I should have known
(Killing me)
(Killing me)
(Killing me slowly)
You’re everything I need
I should have known
(Killing me)
(Killing me)
(Killing me slowly)

My 2cents – first off let me apologize for the formatting. WordPress was stuck on stupid today and I couldn’t get the lyrics to unbold. The video for this song shows a woman dealing with infidelity. The song itself has power. We don’t often see the pieces that are broken off by the actions we take, and this song speaks about recovery from the loss of those broken bits. I love the strength it takes to say that I love you but you don’t know me. I see it as questioning whether the love is real. For me, I have felt the heaviness of a “love” like this. It’s one sided and it smothers you. It’s not really love but when you are under the spell of it you can’t imagine it as anything else.

So what do you think?

TATU – All the Things She Said

Lyrics –

[Chorus]
All the things she said, all the things she said
Runnin’ through my head, runnin’ through my head
Runnin’ through my head
All the things she said, all the things she said
Runnin’ through my head, runnin’ through my head
All the things she said
This is not enough (Enough, enough, enough)

[Verse 1]
I’m in serious shit, I feel totally lost
If I’m asking for help, it’s only because
Being with you has opened my eyes
Could I ever believe such a perfect surprise?
I keep asking myself, wondering how
I keep closing my eyes, but I can’t block you out
Wanna fly to a place where it’s just you and me
Nobody else, so we can be free
(Nobody else, so we can be free)

[Chorus]
All the things she said, all the things she said
Runnin’ through my head, runnin’ through my head
Runnin’ through my head
All the things she said, all the things she said
Runnin’ through my head, runnin’ through my head
All the things she said
This is not enough
This is not enough

[Bridge]
All the things she said
All the things she said
All the things she said
All the things she said
All the things she said
All the things she said
All the things she said

[Verse 2]
And I’m all mixed up, feeling cornered and rushed
They say it’s my fault, but I want her so much
Wanna fly her away where the sun and rain
Come in over my face, wash away all the shame
When they stop and stare, don’t worry me
‘Cause I’m feeling for her what she’s feeling for me
I can try to pretend, I can try to forget
But it’s driving me mad, going out of my head

[Chorus]
All the things she said, all the things she said
Runnin’ through my head, runnin’ through my head
Runnin’ through my head
All the things she said, all the things she said
Runnin’ through my head, runnin’ through my head
All the things she said
This is not enough
This is not enough

[Bridge]
All the things she said
All the things she said
All the things she said
All the things she said
All the things she said
All the things she said
All the things she said
All the things she said
Things she said
All the things she said
All the things she said

[Verse 3]
Mother lookin’ at me
Tell me, “What do you see?”
Yes, I’ve lost my mind
Daddy lookin’ at me
Will I ever be free?
Have I crossed the line?

[Chorus]
All the things she said, all the things she said
Runnin’ through my head, runnin’ through my head
Runnin’ through my head
All the things she said, all the things she said
Runnin’ through my head, runnin’ through my head
All the things she said
This is not enough
This is not enough

[Outro]
All the things she said
All the things she said
All the things she said
All the things she said
All the things she said
All the things she said
All the things she said

My 2 Cents –
This is such a feel good song. It’s a Russian group,  but I originally thought that it was K-Pop. It has the upbeat nature usually found in such.

It’s a song about love. I enjoy the unique view of love it presents.

Poets of the Fall – Carnival of Rust

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Do you breathe the name of your saviour in your hour of need
And taste the blame if the flavor should remind you of greed?
Of implication, insinuation and ill will, ’til you cannot lie still
In all this turmoil, before red cape and foil come closing in for a kill

[Chorus]
Come feed the rain
Cause I’m thirsty for your love dancing underneath the skies of lust
Yeah, feed the rain
Cause without your love my life ain’t nothing but this carnival of rust

[Verse 2]
It’s all a game, avoiding failure, when true colors will bleed
All in the name of misbehavior and the things we don’t need
I lust for after no disaster can touch, touch us anymore
And more than ever, I hope to never fall, where enough is not the same it was before

[Chorus x2]
Come feed the rain
Cause I’m thirsty for your love dancing underneath the skies of lust
Yeah, feed the rain
Cause without your love my life ain’t nothing but this carnival of rust

Yeah, feed the rain
Cause I’m thirsty for your love dancing underneath the skies of lust
Yeah, feed the rain
Cause without your love my life ain’t nothing but this carnival of rust

[Outro]
Don’t walk away, don’t walk away, oh, when the world is burning
Don’t walk away, don’t walk away, oh, when the heart is yearning
Don’t walk away, don’t walk away, oh, when the world is burning
Don’t walk away, don’t walk away, oh, when the heart is yearning

My 2 cents

I feel like this is a sad song about unrequited love. The video has steam/Diesel punk elements. I really enjoy it. Today I chose the song mostly for enjoyment, not for a statement of any kind.
