A day for me to discuss music

Lyrics-

First, you’re on top of the world (a-ah)
And then that world just ended (a-ah)
You think you’re driving down the highway (a-ah)
But then you’re in the trenches (a-ah)
Butterflies are kinda nice, I guess
But my tummy hurts, I’m getting sick of it
Been bruised over, over again
So, you know what?
Screw feelings, I don’t want ’em any more
One second I’m on fire, then I’m bored
When I try them on, I end up insecure
Screw feelings, screw feelings (you know what?)
Screw feelings, I don’t want ’em any more
One second I’m on fire, then I’m bored
I just took ’em off and throw ’em on the floor
Screw feelings, screw feelings
Scared of the day it hits me (a-ah)
A baseball bat to my heart (a-ah)
Butterflies are kinda nice, I guess
But my tummy hurts, I’m getting sick of it
Been bruised over, over again
So, you know what?
Screw feelings, I don’t want ’em any more (any more)
One second I’m on fire, then I’m bored (then I’m bored)
When I try them on, I end up insecure
Screw feelings, screw feelings (you know what?)
Screw feelings, I don’t want ’em any more
One second I’m on fire, then I’m bored
I just took ’em off and throw ’em on the floor
Screw feelings, screw feelings
Screw feelings (yeah)
Screw feelings (yeah)
Screw feelings (yeah)
You know what?
Screw feelings (yeah)
Screw feelings (yeah)
Screw feelings (yeah)
You know what?
A-ah, a-ah, a-ah (yeah, a-ah)
A-ah, a-ah, a-ah (yeah, a-ah)
You know what?
I feel like this song
A-ah, a-ah, a-ah (yeah, a-ah)
A-ah, a-ah, a-ah (yeah, a-ah)
Yeah!

My 2 Cents-
The Last few months have just been hard. This song’s message is easily heard and it is a fun video. We have to feel things, it is in the human condition, but that does not mean we have to like what we are feeling. Today, Screw feelings.

A day for me to discuss music

Lyrics
Outta all the drugs in California
You’re the one that fucks my head up most
And Lately I’ve been pleading with myself to leave it
But I crawl back, begging you for more
And I don’t wanna want you
But I do
And what’s another let down
For a few
Moments in the light
Moments in the light
Feeling so alive
I don’t even gotta try, try
Moments in the light
Moments in the light
Like Jordan in his prime
You can’t touch this superfly fly, fly
Coming off the high
Outta all the drugs in California
You’re the one that fucks my head up most
I’ve been swearing up and down
That I don’t need you
But I’m lying
Hate it, but it’s true
Tell me that you love me, need me
Please I’m begging
I keep chasing, knowing there’s no use
And I don’t wanna break down
But I do
‘Cause I’m getting nervous that I’ll lose
Moments in the light
Moments in the light
Feeling so alive
I don’t even gotta try, try
Moments in the light
Moments in the light
Like Jordan in his prime
You can’t touch this superfly fly, fly
Coming off the high
Outta all the drugs in California
You’re the one that fucks my head up most
Tell me, tell me that you love me
Tell me, tell me that you need me
Save me
Moments in the light
Moments in the light
Feeling so alive
I don’t even gotta try, try
Moments in the light
Moments in the light
Like Jordan in his prime
You can’t touch this superfly fly, fly
Moments in the light
Moments in the light
Feeling so alive
I don’t even gotta try, try
Moments in the light
Moments in the light
Like Jordan in his prime
You can’t touch this superfly fly, fly
Coming off the high
Outta all the drugs in California
You’re the one that fucks my head up most
Outta all the drugs in California
You’re the devil and I’m just your ghost

My 2 Cents-
I missheard the lyrics originally. I kept hearing Mama is in the light…And the song confused me with that…

A day for me to discuss music

Lyrics –
“Time”

Burn this room down
Place me on a chair
For all I care
You’re telling me I’m crazy
I would call it lazy
Let the room burn down

Blow my heart apart
You don’t give a shit if I live or die
I don’t wanna be a part of this
No more

Someone tell me why
I just wanna know so I can die
Tell me why you’re leaving
I can’t tell this feeling
Let the time pass by

So we’ve been together for a year or two
And you’re angry because I don’t know, but I’ve been busy loving you
I don’t have the money to be the one you really need
All I give is who I am and poetry to read

Someone tell me why
I just wanna know so I can die
Tell me why you’re leaving
I can’t tell this feeling
Let the time pass by

I’ve been living a dream
But everyone’s awake
And everytime I try to catch up
It’s when I nearly break

Now we’ve been together for a year or two
And everytime I am feeling good is not because of you
I don’t know what I’m doing wrong but people seems to fade
Now I don’t care cause I’m sitting on a chair and this is what I made

Someone tell me why
I just wanna know so I can die
Tell me why you’re leaving
I can’t tell this feeling
Let the time pass by

Someone tell me why
I just wanna know so we can try
Tell me why you hate me
Tell me who I should be
Let the time pass by

Now I really know
What you need is rock n’ roll
And if you’re not gonna like it
Then, baby, that’s your call

I don’t care if I’m using my mind
I don’t wanna know
Leave me alone, go never come back
I love rock n’ roll!

Someone tell me why
I just wanna know so I can die
Tell me why you’re leaving
I can’t tell this feeling
Let the time pass by

My Two Cents – this past week was a busy mess so this is mostly how I felt. Lets burn it all down.

Tuesday Tunes

A day for me to discuss music

{Verse 1}
Woke up late, car’s a mess
Spilled some coffee on my dress
Trying to pick out a song
Drove too fast, missed a stop
Somehow a Policeman saw
How am I gonna pay for that?

{Pre-Chorus}
I stayed up ’til 3 a.m last night
Watching Netflix on my phone ’cause
They cut off the power line
Drank up the rest of the box wine
Oh, I know it wasn’t smart
And I say this every time

{Chorus}
I can’t adult today at all
I wanna go right back to bed
And pretend I’m not feeling well
There’s nothing that I wanna say
But ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
I can’t adult today
I can’t adult today

{Verse 2}
Got to work, powered through
Headache started around 2
‘Cause I had to work through lunch
Finally, I finished up
Made it home and had enough
But I found a dog chewed couch

{Pre-Chorus}
I stayed up ’til 3 a.m last night
Watching Netflix on my phone ’cause
They cut off the power line
Drank up the rest of the box wine
Oh, I know it wasn’t smart
And I say this every time

{Chorus}
I can’t adult today at all
I wanna go right back to bed
And pretend I’m not feeling well
There’s nothing that I wanna say
But ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
I can’t adult today

{Bridge}
Just another cup of coffee
I can’t adult today
Just a little bit more money
I can’t adult today
10 alarms just to remind me
I can’t adult today
Tomorrow I will try again

{Chorus}
I can’t adult today at all
I wanna go right back to bed
And pretend I’m not feeling well
There’s nothing that I wanna say
But ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
I can’t adult today
I can’t adult today
I can’t adult today 

My Two cents –
I am behind on my posts this week. It has been a really busy week for me – We had to get our lawn mower fixed and gather trash from the yard. Summer is ending but there are still summer chores to be done. So I spent Yesterday dealing with all of that. I spent Saturday dealing with a game and Sunday playing in a different one. So my normal work day – Sunday…well it got stolen. I will not post tomorrow but I have some upcoming announcements so I will be posting Thursday to tell yall all of what is coming soon. Man, Adulting is exhausting.

Lyrics
What will we do with a drunken sailor?
What will we do with a drunken sailor?
What will we do with a drunken sailor?
Early in the morning!
Way hay and up she rises
Way hay and up she rises
Way hay and up she rises
Early in the morning!
Shave his belly with a rusty razor
Shave his belly with a rusty razor
Shave his belly with a rusty razor
Early in the morning!
Way hay and up she rises
Way hay and up she rises
Way hay and up she rises
Early in the morning!
Put him in a long boat till his sober
Put him in a long boat till his sober
Put him in a long boat till his sober
Early in the morning!
Way hay and up she rises
Way hay and up she rises
Way hay and up she rises
Early in the morning!
Stick him in a scupper with a hosepipe bottom
Stick him in a scupper with a hosepipe bottom
Stick him in a scupper with a hosepipe bottom
Early in the morning!
Way hay and up she rises
Way hay and up she rises
Way hay and up she rises
Early in the morning!
Put him in the bed with the captains daughter
Put him in the bed with the captains daughter
Put him in the bed with the captains daughter
Early in the morning!
Way hay and up she rises
Way hay and up she rises
Way hay and up she rises
Early in the morning!
That’s what we do with a drunken sailor
That’s what we do with a drunken sailor
That’s what we do with a drunken sailor
Early in the morning!
Way hay and up she rises
Way hay and up she rises
Way hay and up she rises
Early in the morning!
Way hay and up she rises
Way hay and up she rises
Way hay and up she rises
Early in the morning!

My 2 Cents –
The last few days I have been in a sea Shanty mood. This is one of my favorites just because of the silliness of the lyrics. What is your favorite sea shanty?

Lyrics –

I’m sorry but your story isn’t adding up
Think your religion is a lie to keep my mouth shut
So I won’t testify the crimes you’re keeping score of
Why don’t you throw me to the wolves? I thought you were one
You were standing there like an angry god
Counting out my sins just to cross them off
Saying that my tongue was too loud to trust
And that my blood couldn’t keep you
My dear, you’re not so innocent
You’re fooling Heaven’s gates
So you won’t have to change
You’re no saint, you’re no savior
Your revelations don’t look nothing like the pictures
You read between the lines and don’t stick to the scriptures
You only follow rules if others follow with you
That doesn’t sound so holy only playing victim
You were standing there like an angry god
Counting out my sins just to cross them off
Saying that my tongue was too loud to trust
And that my blood couldn’t keep you
My dear, you’re not so innocent
You’re fooling Heaven’s gates
So you won’t have to change
You’re no saint, you’re no savior
So keep your judgment for someone else, I’ve had enough
And keep your judgment for someone else, I’ve had enough
So keep your judgment for someone else, I’ve had enough
And keep your judgment for someone else, I’ve had enough
My dear, you’re not so innocent
You’re fooling Heaven’s gates
So you won’t have to change
You’re no saint, you’re no savior

My 2 Cents –
I get so aggravated at judgmental people. You can only judge yourself for your own actions. You cannot judge another for you are not in their shoes.

Lyrics –

[Verse 1]
I must be the kings of gambling
‘Cause I’m no ace of hearts babe, as you know, mmm
People say pick yourself up from the ground
But I just keep on sinking, like a stone, mmm

[Post-Verse]
When I drift closer you float further, out
And I hate, yeah I hate it
It’s like I’m the story’s villain
And you are the heroine
And I can’t win

[Pre-Chorus]
I tried to say I’m sorry but it sounds like it’s your fault
And every compliment just sounds like you’re no good at all
Yeah I hate to be the reason for you walking out that door
But right before I fix it, I fuck it up

[Chorus]
Fuck it up some more
I fuck it up, fuck it up
Fuck it up some more
I fuck it up, fuck it up
Fuck it up some more
I fuck it up, fuck it up
Fuck it up some more
I fuck it up, fuck it up
Fuck it up some more

[Verse 2]
You’re the best I’ve ever had
Hope I’m not your worst, but I don’t know, mmm
Sorry I’ve dragged you down through every circle
Down through my inferno
Should’ve cleaned first, mmm, mmm

[Post-Verse]
When I drift closer you float further, out
And I hate, yeah I hate it
It’s like I’m the story’s villain
And you are the heroine
And I can’t win

[Pre-Chorus]
I tried to say I’m sorry but it sounds like it’s your fault
And every compliment just sounds like you’re no good at all
Yeah I hate to be the reason for you walking out that door
But right before I fix it, I fuck it up

[Chorus]
Fuck it up some more
I fuck it up, fuck it up
Fuck it up some more
I fuck it up, fuck it up
Fuck it up some more
I fuck it up, fuck it up
Fuck it up some more
I fuck it up, fuck it up
Fuck it up some more
I fuck it up, fuck it up
Fuck it up some more
I fuck it up, fuck it up
Fuck it up some more

My 2 cents –

I can’t help feeling like this song is reading my mind. I often feel like a screw up. Whether I am or not. This one has been stuck in my head lately.

Lyrics –

Lost in a dream
I had when I was young
No I never woke up
From itI broke a chain
I turned and ran
No I never looked back
AgainIs there anybody out there?
Hello can you hear me?
Or am I just screaming to the void?
I’m not looking for a savior
I just need somebody
Telling me I’m not in this alone
Cause I’m feeling like a creep here
Standing on the outside
Tunnel vision stares cut to the bone
I’m not looking for a savior
I just need somebody
Telling me I’m not in this alone
Is there anybody out there?
Are you a freak like me?
Getting kicked out somewhere
Are you a freak like me?
Tell me where you wanna go
And baby we’ll go
You don’t gotta walk that way alone
Fuck this place
We don’t gotta go back there
Is there anybody?It’s all on me
Yeah everything’s my fault
Locked in a bathroom stall right now
Death of a dream
It’s running down my cheeks
Won’t let ’em see me weak
Like thisIs there anybody out there?
Hello can you hear me?
Or am I just screaming to the void?
I’m not looking for a savior
I just need somebody
Telling me I’m not in this alone
Cause I’m feeling like a creep here
Standing on the outside
Tunnel vision stares cut to the bone
I’m not looking for a savior
I just need somebody
Telling me I’m not in this alone
Is there anybody out there
Are you a freak like me?
Getting kicked out somewhere
Are you a freak like me?
Tell me where you wanna go
And baby we’ll go
You don’t gotta walk that way alone
Fuck this place
We don’t gotta go back there
Is there anybody out there?
Is there anybody out there?
Is there anybody out there?
Hello can you hear me?
Or am I just screaming to the void?
I’m not looking for a savior
I just need somebody
Telling me I’m not in this alone
Is there anybody out there?
Are you a freak like me?
Getting kicked out somewhere
Are you a freak like me?
Tell me where you wanna go
And baby we’ll go
You don’t gotta walk that way alone
Fuck this place
We don’t gotta go back there
Is there anybody out there?
Is there anybody out there?

My 2 Cents –
Don’t we all feel alone sometimes? This song speaks to that lonely feeling. I often feel like this. I sit alone typing into a void…Is there anybody out there?

Lyrics –

Oh, oh
Oh, oh
I should be living the dream
But I’m livin’ with a security team
And that ain’t gonna change, no
I got a paranoia in me
And you wouldn’t believe
Everything that I seen, no
Comin’ apart at the seams
And no one around me knows
Who I am, what I’m on
Who I’ve hurt and where they’ve gone
I know that I’ve done some wrong
But I’m tryna make it right
To the one I love, paint me wrong
Give me a light now (Oh-oh)
You know that I love you
But I’m still learnin’ to love myself
(To love my, to love my, to love my)
I’m still learnin’ to love myself
(To love my, to love my, to love my)
Yeah, yeahI should be livin’ the dream
But I go home and I got no self-esteem (No)
You think I’m swimmin’ in green
But it’s passed around my family tree
No man wants to really commit
Intimidated ’cause I get paid and shit
In the crowd, you’re readin’ my lips
But no one around me knows
Who I am, what I’m on
Who I’ve hurt and where they’ve gone
I know that I’ve done some wrong
But I’m tryna make it right
The same mistakes on and on
To all my friends, I’m sorry for
You know that I love you
But I’m still learnin’ (I’m still learnin’) to love myself
(To love my, to love my, to love my) Yeah, yeah
I’m still learnin’ (I’m still learnin’) to love myself (To love myself)
(To love my, to love my, to love my) Yeah, yeah (Oh, oh)
Oh, I try and I try to remember sometimes
If I breathe, it’s alright, but some things don’t change
I’m still learnin’ (I’m still learnin’) to love myself (To love myself)
(To love my, to love my, to love myself)
Who I am, what I’m on
Who I’ve hurt and where they’ve gone
I know that I’ve done some wrong
But I’m tryna make it right
To the one I love, paint me wrong
Give me a light now
(To the ones I love) To the ones I love
I’m still learnin’ to love myself
(To love my, to love my, to love my) Yeah, yeah
I’m still learnin’ (I’m still learnin’) to love myself (To love myself)
(To love my, to love my, to love my, ooh)
And I try and I try to remember sometimes
If I breathe, it’s alright, but some things don’t change
I’m still learnin’ (I’m still learnin’) to love myself (Love myself)
To love myself
I’m still learnin’ to love myself


My 2 Cents –
I find it so easy to love everyone else. I struggle to love myself. I see too easily the flaws. So forgive me if I take a few…I’m Still Learning to love myself…

Lyrics –

Please, forgive me, I’ve got demons in my head
There’s something in the water
I don’t like the flavour, I don’t like the taste
Searching for nirvana
Something that’ll take it all away from me
Don’t bother me, my misery
It’s holding me
Won’t let me speak
Please, forgive me, I’ve got demons in my head (in my head)
Please, forgive me, I’ve got demons in my head
Tryna eat me, tryna feed me lies until I’m dead (’til I’m dead)
Please, forgive me, I’ve got demons in my head (in my head)
It’s creeping in, it’s gonna get me by the end of the night
I’m sinking deeper, still I’m reaching for the end of the light
Burning in the lava
You can’t go and pray this type of pain away
Don’t bother me, my misery
It’s holding me
Won’t let me speak
Please, forgive me, I’ve got demons in my head (in my head)
Please, forgive me, I’ve got demons in my head
Tryna eat me, tryna feed me lies until I’m dead (’til I’m dead)
Please, forgive me, I’ve got demons in my head (oh, head!)I feel like I can’t breathe
I feel like I can’t sleep
How did I not see?
I’m unwell
I feel like I can’t breathe
I feel like I can’t sleep
How did I not see?
I’m unwell
Please, forgive me, I’ve got demons in my head (in my head)
Please, forgive me, I’ve got demons in my head (oh, head!)
Please, forgive me, I’ve got demons in my head (in my head)
Please, forgive me, I’ve got demons in my head
Tryna eat me, tryna feed me lies until I’m dead (’til I’m dead)
Please, forgive me, I’ve got demons in my head (oh, head!)In my head
Please, forgive me, I’ve got demons in my head (in my head)
Please, forgive me, I’ve got demons in my head

My 2 Cents-
Ok…. I am behind on Loki. Just got to watch episodes 3 & 4 this weekend. (Me and a couple of friends are watching it together. This song began episode 3 and I just had to look it up. The lyrics feel, much like many of my favorite songs, like someone is watching my life too closely. The best songs always feel like they rip your heart out. You can understand it far better than you really want to. What song tears you apart?
