Lyrics –

Dear diary, dear diary
I’ve been searching for a higher me
I’m in the sky, in the pilot’s seat, trying to stop my mind from spiraling
And that’s irony, that’s irony
I’m just looking for a resolution, I just want to be a better human
But it’s hard when everybody’s acting stupid
Pardon me if that came off rude, I just have a bad attitude
With the world and not just with you, it’s the side effects of abuse
I admit I’m a little strange, I don’t think that I’ll ever change
I survived a whole life of pain, you could say I escaped my fate

I’m a cynical, egotistical, unpredictable, hardened criminal
And I can be a little hypocritical, but I’ll admit it straight to your face
I’m unbreakable, irreplaceable, undeniably inspirational
I used everything I had available to make me the person I am today

Dear diary, dear diary
I just had another wild dream
I was in a world that admired me, and when I woke up I was smiling
And that’s irony, that’s irony
You talk a lot but you don’t even know me
I’m just hoping that my testimony will inspire y’all to stop acting phony
Pardon me if that came off weird, I don’t mean to be mean, I swear
I have been through a lot this year, I just want to make a few things clear
I don’t like it when people hate behind my back and not to my face
Nowadays it just feels so fake, so I’ll cut the grass to expose the snakes

I’m unstoppable, it’s impossible
You don’t wanna see the diabolical side of me that never stops, is volatile
So I suggest you stay in your lane
I’m unapologetic, you know where it’s headed
I will never ever let up off the pedal
I got the spirit of every warrior in me ever, so back the fuck up, get out my face

You’re a slave to labor and you praise the fascist
You kiss the hand that takes half in taxes
Faking outrage and being seen, a generation with no self-esteem
It’s time to rise up and stand against them, break the chains and finally see the vision
We’re post-traumatic from a broken system
Follow me into the chaos engine

It’s time to stand, it’s time to fight
Don’t be afraid to twist the knife
Your sacrifice to break the curse
Prepare to die, prepare to burn
Abandon hope, it’s not enough
‘Cause all our gods abandoned us
Your sacrifice to break the curse
Light the match, watch it burn

Heaven falls, the angels die
Let it burn from the start
When everything falls apart

When everything falls apart (why have you forsaken me?)
When everything falls apart (heavy is the crown, you see)
When everything falls apart (why have you forsaken me?)
When everything falls apart (heavy is the crown, you see)
When everything falls apart
When everything falls apart

My 2 cents –

This has been my earworm lately. it is a powerful song. I believe it is my favorite from this band. So do you listen to a playlist or the same song on repeat? I get burned out on songs and need the playlist but I was curious as to the way others do it. My son listens to the same song on repeat.

Lyrics –

Cigarettes and alcohol
I could smell you down the hall
And know which one of you that I would get
Pictures of us on the wall
Fist mark from the last close call
Couple hundred second chances left

You broke me down and stole my innocence
You said I’d never get out but I did

You hate that you can’t control me
You say that you wanna hold me
You hate that I know the real you
Hollow, shallow, see through
You hate that I took the power
It makes you feel like a coward
You say that you’re gonna save me
But you fucking hate me

Use me up just like a drug
Held me down and called it love
I thought that I had so much to lose
Another fight, another fuck
Another never good enough
You hate me ’cause I’m better without you
Without you

You hate that you can’t control me
You say that you wanna hold me
You hate that I know the real you
Hollow, shallow, see through
You hate that I took the power
It makes you feel like a coward
You say that you’re gonna save me
But you fucking hate me

But you fucking hate me
Oh

You broke me down and stole my innocence
You said I’d never get out but I did, I did

You hate that you can’t control me
You say that you wanna hold me
You hate that I know the real you
Hollow, shallow, see through
You hate that I took the power
It makes you feel like a coward
You say that you’re gonna save me
But you fucking hate me

My 2 cents –

This has been my earworm lately. it is a powerful song.

Lyrics –


verse
I keep swingin′ my hand through a swarm of bees ’cause I
I want honey on my table
I keep swingin′ my hand through a swarm of bees ’cause I
I want honey on my table
pre-chorus
But I never get it right
No, I never get it right
chorus
I keep swingin’ my hand through a swarm of bees
I can′t understand why they′re stingin’ me
But I′ll do what I want, I’ll do what I please
I′ll do it again ’til I′ve got what I need
I’ll rip and smash through the hornet’s nest
Do you understand I deserve the best?
And I′ll do what I want, I′ll do what I please
I’ll do it again ′til I got what I need
verse
I try to stick this pin through a butterfly ’cause I
I like all the pretty colors
But it just fell apart, so I flung it in the fire
To burn with all the others
pre-chorus
′Cause I never get it right
No, I never get it right
chorus
I keep swingin’ my hand through a swarm of bees
I can′t understand why they’re stingin’ me
But I′ll do what I want, I′ll do what I please
I’ll do it again ′til I got what I need
I’ll rip and smash through the hornet′s nest
Do you understand I deserve the best?
‘Til you do what I want, I′ll do what I please
I’ll do it again ’til I′ve got what I need
bridge
And this time, I′ll get it right
This time, I’ll get it right
It′s gonna be this time, I’ll get it right
God, let it be this time, I get it right
chorus
So I′m cuttin’ that branch off the cherry tree
Singin′ this will be my victory
Then I
See them comin’ after me
And they’re followin′ me across the sea
And now they′re stingin’ my friends and my family
And I
I don′t know why this is happening
verse
But I’ll do what I want, I′ll do what I please
I’ll do it again ′til I got what I need
outro
I keep swingin’ my hand through a swarm of bees ’cause I
I want honey on my table

My 2 cents –

to me this song talks about persistence to the point of ignorance. it’s a fantastic song, but I feel like it is largely misunderstood .

Lyrics –

Cut me open and you’ll find
A brain, heart, liver, lungs
And a knife in the spine

It’s chilling to know that the last place you go
Might be where the fat lady sings
Does it hurt? I don’t know, and where do we go?
We don’t tease fragile minds with such things

So sell me down the river
First help me sell my soul
It’s something I know I can deliver
I think we’ve finally broke the mold

It’s getting harder to know if I’m sane
My issues are leaking outside of my veins
Somebody save me or end me
I haven’t yet made up my mind

If it leads to paranoia, boy, you might want to hit the floor
Before exposure leads to a metamorphosis we can’t ignore
Lost in the whisper and hung on a prayer
If you don’t know where you’re going, any road will take you there

So sell me down the river
First help me sell my soul
It’s something I know I can deliver
I think we’ve finally broke the mold

Will I be an end to someone’s destiny?
Who’s to know?
And will I give right in to my aggression?
Who’s to know?
Will I fall apart all alone
Who’s to know?
Or will I shine right through
And lay this hate to rest with all of you?

So sell me down the river (down the river)
First help me sell my soul
It’s something I know I can deliver (I can deliver)
I think we’ve finally broke the mold

My 2 cents –

This song always speaks so clearly to me. the loneliness, and feelings of being an oddball in society. This feels like well written poetry to me.

Lyrics –

Yeah
This one’s about my wife, heh
And her infinite men
Her Kindle’s basically a brothel at this point
‘Kay, hey, hey

My wife ain’t cheating, but her Kindle sure is
‘Cause she’s got 30 fake dudes all calling her miss
There’s a fae king, a wolf shifter, a demon on deck
And a vampire who’s somehow always kissing her neck

She laughs, kicks her feet, gets all blushy and warm
While I’m in the kitchen fighting Tupperware like a storm
I’m like, babe, you good? She’s like: O-M-G, wait
The orc just picked her up, like she’s his fated mate!

Girl, how I’m supposed to compete with that?
These dudes got wings, tattoos, and stamina stats
Meanwhile, I’m over here with back pain and snacks
At night, whoa

My wife got book boyfriends lined up in rows
She could start a damn army with the men she chose
Every night, she’s like: O-M-G, new toy!
And I’m just standing here like: Girl, what about your boy?
She got a harem, a whole damn crew
Six in every book, and she reads book two
She don’t need reality, she got her joys
A library full of delicious boy toys (look, babe)

Look, babe, don’t take it so rough
Just ’cause my book-men are a little more buff
They got claws, magic, fangs, torsos carved like art
You got dad jokes, snack crumbs, and a good heart
Which is cute, but these men be like: My queen, my mate
Let me worship you all night with unholy fate’
Meanwhile, you’re like: Babe, want a DoorDash fry?
I love you, boo, but these men got thighs

She’ll finish a series and swear she’s fine
Then 30 minutes later, she’s got a new man online
I ask, who’s he? She says: Oh, just a prince
Then shows me a cover with a dude who’s all rinse and ripped
She says: Babe, he’s sweet, and he calls her his treasure
Girl, if I talked like that, you’d call 9-1 for pressure
But, hey, if she’s happy with her little book clan
I guess I’m okay being boyfriend number (turns, damn, ten)

My wife got book boyfriends stuffed in her brain
I swear, if they paid rent, we’d be rollin’ in gain
She dimples, giggles, screams: Oh my God!
While I’m just sitting there feeling oddly flawed
She got a harem, a magical squad
Each one built like a Roman Greek God
She don’t need reality, she got her joys
Stacked like Jenga with her pretty boy toys

She says: Babe, he’s sweet, and he calls her his treasure
Girl, if I talked like that, you’d call 9-1 for pressure
But, hey, if she’s happy with her little book clan
I guess I’m okay being boyfriend number (ten), damn, ten

My wife got book boyfriends stuffed in her brain
I swear, if they paid rent, we’d be rollin’ in gain
She dimples, giggles, screams: Oh my God!
While I’m just sitting there feeling oddly flawed
She got a harem, a magical squad
Each one built like a Roman Greek God
She don’t need reality, she got her joys
Stacked like Jenga with her pretty boy toys

Look, babe, I get it
They’re fictional, don’t cry
I’m not crying, just heavily hydrated in the eye
You’ll always be my main character, babe
Until the next series drops
Probably

My 2 cents –

This is last weeks earworm that led me to therapy. lol.

Lyrics –

He said
“Take a seat over there, on the chair by the couch
Tell me what you’ve been thinking about
There’s nothing you can say that’s out of bounds
You can trust me, swear I’m here for you now”
I’ve heard it all before, he took out his pen
But as he wrote down each, each thing that I said

Oh, well, the mood just changed
He started acting strange
This was our next exchange

He said
“I’ll tell you what, I’m sorry, but I don’t think I can be
Of any help, think I need help now,” is what he said to me
Might even need it more than me now, oh, the irony
I’m so messed up, I sent my therapist to therapy
“I tell you what, I’m sorry, but I thought I’d never see
A case as bad as yours, don’t think I have a remedy,” mm
Think he needs help now, oh, the irony
I’m so messed up, I sent my therapist to therapy

So I got up from the chair where I sat by the couch
He said to me, “Could you sit back down?”
And I could see as I turned around
Really needed someone he could talk to now, said
“Thought that I’d seen it all, turns out I was wrong
Wish I could help you out, you’ll have to be strong”

Oh, well, the mood just changed
He started acting strange
This was our next exchange

He said
“I’ll tell you what, I’m sorry, but I don’t think I can be
Of any help, think I need help now,” is what he said to me
Might even need it more than me now, oh, the irony
I’m so messed up, I sent my therapist to therapy
“I tell you what, I’m sorry, but I thought I’d never see
A case as bad as yours, don’t think I have a remedy,” mm
Think he needs help now, oh, the irony
I’m so messed up, I sent my therapist to therapy

I’m so messed up, I’m so messed up, I’m so messed up now
I’m so messed up, I’m so messed up, I’m so messed up now
I’m so messed up, can’t you see?
I’m so messed up, I sent my therapist to therapy

I went out yesterday to get food from the store
And ran into the man from before
Right by the exit door
He stopped me to talk
Said that he went to go and look for some help
A funny thing happened and I said, “Do tell”

Oh, and the story is, mm
My doctor found a doctor and his doctor told him

“I’ll tell you what, I’m sorry, but I don’t think I can be
Of any help, think I need help now,” is what he said to me
Might even need it more than me now, oh, the irony
I’m so messed up, I sent my therapist to therapy
“I tell you what, I’m sorry, but I thought I’d never see
A case as bad as yours, don’t think I have a remedy,” mm
Think he needs help now, oh, the irony
I’m so messed up, I sent my therapist to therapy

My 2 cents –

Okay I had another parody style song stuck in my head so I went to youtube…to get rid of it…and this came up right after. It was so funny I even sent it to my therapist.

Lyrics –

I’m through with standing in line to pubs I’ll never get in
It’s like the bottom of the ninth and I’m never gonna win
Life hasn’t turned out quite the way
I want it to be (tell me what you want)

I want a huge sail that’ll hold the squalls
And a big black ship with some cannonballs
Don’t wanna join Davy Jones twenty thousand
Leagues under the sea (so how you gonna do it?)

I’m gonna trade this life for fortune and fame
I’d even roll my bed and change my name, we…

We all just wanna be big rockstars
Live in hilltop houses driving 15 cars
The girls come easy and the drugs come cheap
We all stay skinny ’cause we just won’t eat
And we’ll hang out in the coolest bars
In the VIP’s with the movie stars
Every good gold digger is gonna wind up there
Every Playboy Bunny with her bleached blonde hair

And we’ll hide out in the private rooms
With the latest dictionary and today’s who’s who
They’ll get you anything with that evil smile
Everybody’s got a rum dealer on speed dial
Hey, I wanna be a rockstar

Gonna sing those songs that offend the censors
Singing those songs that offend the censors
Popping my pills from a Pez dispenser (rockstars don’t do mornings)
Get washed up sailors writing all our songs
Get washed up sailors writing all our songs
Lipsync them every night so I don’t get them wrong
We’ll sing them dusk till morning, we

We all just wanna be big rockstars
Live in hilltop houses driving 15 cars
The girls come easy and the drugs come cheap
We’ll all stay skinny ’cause we just won’t eat
And we’ll hang out in the coolest bars
In the VIP’s with the movie stars
Every good gold digger’s gonna wind up there
Every Playboy Bunny with her bleached blonde hair

And we’ll hide out in the private rooms
With the latest dictionary and today’s who’s who
They’ll get you anything with that evil smile
Everybody’s got a rum dealer on speed dial

Hey, I wanna be a rockstar
Everybody’s got a rum dealer on speed dial
Hey, I wanna be a rockstar

My 2 cents –

This has been taking up way too much space in my head lately. Admittedly it slaps, but I prefer a mix of songs. lol. Still had to share the pain of a earworm.

Lyrics –

Got a boy back home in Michigan
And it tastes like Jack when I’m kissing him
So I told him that I never really liked his friends
Now he’s gone and he’s calling me a bitch again
There’s a guy that lives in a Garden State
And he told me that we make it ’til we graduate
So I told him that the music would be worth the wait
But he wants me in the kitchen with a dinner plate
I believe, I believe, I believe, I believe that we’re meant to be
But jealousy, jealousy, jealousy, jealousy get the best of me
Look, I don’t mean to frustrate, but I
Always make the same mistakes, yeah
Always make the same mistakes ’cause
I’m bad at love (ooh-ooh)
But you can’t blame me for tryin’
You know I’d be lyin’ sayin’
You were the one (ooh-ooh)
That could finally fix me
Lookin’ at my history
I’m bad at love
Got a girl with California eyes
And I thought that she could really be the one this time
But I never got the chance to make her mine
Because she fell in love with little thin white lines
London girl with an attitude
We never told no one but we look so cute
Both got way better things to do
But I always think about it when I’m riding through
I believe, I believe, I believe, I believe that I’m in too deep
And jealousy, jealousy, jealousy, jealousy get the best in me
Look, I don’t mean to frustrate, but I
Always make the same mistakes, yeah
Always make the same mistakes ’cause
I’m bad at love (ooh-ooh)
But you can’t blame me for tryin’
You know I’d be lyin’ sayin’
You were the one (ooh-ooh)
That could finally fix me
Lookin’ at my history
I’m bad at love (ooh-ooh)
Oh, you know, you know, you know, you know
I’m bad at love (ooh-ooh)
I’m bad at love, yeah
I know that you’re afraid I’m gonna walk away
Each time the feeling fades
Each time the feeling fades
I know that you’re afraid I’m gonna walk away
Each time the feeling fades
You know I’m bad at love (ooh-ooh)
But you can’t blame me for tryin’
You know I’d be lyin’ sayin’
You were the one (ooh-ooh)
That could finally fix me
Lookin’ at my history
I’m bad at love (ooh-ooh)
Oh, you know, you know, you know, you know
I’m bad at love (ooh-ooh)
Ohh, oh

My 2 cents –

by time I was 21 this felt like me. I have more or less been with the same person since then but even that at times has felt like it fits the song .

Lyrics –

Don’t ever laugh as a hearse goes by
For you may be the next to die
They wrap you up in bloody sheets
To drop you six feet underneath
They put you in a pinewood box
And cover you up with dirt and rocks
It all goes well for about a week
And then, your coffin begins to leak
And the worms crawl in, the worms crawl out
The worms play pinochle on your snout
They eat your eyes, they eat your nose
As you begin to decompose
A slimy beetle with demon’s eyes
Chews through your stomach and out your sides
Your stomach turns to rancid grease
And puss pours out like melted cheese
You spread it on a slice of bread
And that’s what you’ll eat when you’re dead
And the worms crawl out, the worms crawl in
The ones that crawl in are lean and thin
The ones that crawl out are fat and stout
Your eyes fall in, and your hair falls out
Your brain turns into maggot pie
Your liver starts to liquify
And for the living, all is well
As you sink further into hell
And the flames rise up to drag you down
Into the fire, where you will drown
Your skin melts off as you descend
And Satan tears you limb from limb
Your suffering will never end
And the worms crawl in, the worms crawl out
They’ll eat your guts and then shit them out
And when your bones begin to rot
The worms remain, but you do not
So don’t ever laugh as a hearse goes by
For someday, you’ll be the one to die
And when Death brings his cold despair
Ask yourself, “Will anyone care?”

My 2 cents –

I used to adore this song….it felt like a poem more than a song .
