Slipping by O'Brother

You’re a place I cannot leave
A space I cannot see
A pitfall underneath
I’m slipping

You’re a poison in my teeth
A tongue I cannot speak
A pitfall underneath
I’m slipping

Devil in your bed
I’m pulling punches instead of getting even

Devil in your bed
I’m pulling punches instead of just leaving

You’re loss I cannot grieve
A truth I disbelieve
A pitfall underneath and
I’m slipping

It’s a tangled web
We weave drunk on pleasantries
A pitfall underneath and
I’m slipping

Devil in your bed
I’m pulling punches instead of getting even

Devil in your bed
I’m pulling punches instead of just leaving

Jerk by Oliver Tree

You say you don't want me
You call me good for nothing straight to my face
You say you don't need me
You call me good for nothing, a waste of space

Don't remind me
I'm minding my own damn business
Don't try to find me
I'm better left alone in this
It doesn't surprise me
Do you really think that I could care
If you really don't like me
Find somebody else
It could be anyone else out there

Don't fret
I don't ever wanna see you
And I never wanna meet you again
One thing
When you're angry, you're a jerk
And then you treat me like I'm worth nothing
Don't fret
I don't ever wanna see you
And I never wanna meet you again
It'll happen again
I'll watch it happen over and over again

You say you don't want me
You call me good for nothing straight to my face
You say you don't need me
You call me good for nothing, a waste of space

I watch the walls caving in on me
I'm sick of feeling so fucking lonely
By now I've given up all hope
I guess I'm better off alone

Don't fret
I don't ever wanna see you
And I never wanna meet you again
One thing
When you're angry, you're a jerk
And then you treat me like I'm worth nothing
Don't fret
I don't ever wanna see you
And I never wanna meet you again
It'll happen again
I'll watch it happen over and over again

384 400

Dreamt about the moon last night
(You were) dressed in black and yet you'd shine
(I heard) you were talking 'bout your time
(That you'd) wait for us to reunite

(You have it all)

Dreamt about your gloomy face
(Yet I'd) knew it was your soul and grace
(I could) hear the laughter I would chase
(And you) offered me the chance we slayed

(You have it all)
Don't waste your purity on chaos
(You have it all)
Your smile is granted up above
(You have it all)
384 thousand you call home
(You have it all)
Don't come closer just for laughs

Dreamt about the space between
(There's no) way for me to reach you now
(If I'd) meant to go would not get through
(And you) never stayed still for long

(You have it all)

Dreamt about my broken soul
(I will) always have my eyes on you
(I said) sun will fade but I'd remain
(Sadly) open eyes will show the truth

(You have it all)
Don't waste your purity on chaos
(You have it all)
Your smile is granted up above
(You have it all)
384 thousand you call home
(You have it all)
Don't come closer just for laughs

Wandering across the space between
384 400
384 400
384 400

Drift Away (by Seether)

Don't let anyone cry on your shoulder
Don't let misery bring you down
Beauty fades away as you get older
Such a shame that you hate yourself

When I saw the feelings go to waste
But it all comes as no surprise
And I feel I let it slip away
Left so hollow and dead inside
And I realize I was too afraid
So much wasted time
I feel you drift away

On the surface it seems like I'm colder
Underneath it all I'm not fine
You do well in the eyes of beholders
But I feel ugly as sin inside

When I saw the feelings go to waste
But it all comes as no surprise
And I feel I let it slip away
Left so hollow and dead inside
And I realize I was too afraid
So much wasted time
I feel you drift away

Who are you to let me bleed?
Who are you to set me free?

When I saw the feelings go to waste
But it all comes as no surprise
And I feel I let it slip away
Left so hollow and dead inside
And I realize I was too afraid
So much wasted time
I feel you drift away

Locus (by O'Brother)

I woke up in the in-between
And my head expands
My head expands
Muttering words of prophecy
From a fever dream
You shared with me

I am right here, where I've always been
Further up and further in
I am right here, where I've always been
Further up and further in

You run like a criminal
When you need me
You were tongue-tied and elegant
When you need me

Love is careless, love is blind
Love is envious
I'm envious
Always thought it was hard to find
But I'm oblivious
Oblivious

I am right here, where I've always been
Further up and further in
I am right here, where I've always been
Further up and further in

You run like a criminal
When you need me
You were tongue-tied and elegant
When you need me
You need me

I am right here, where I've always been
Further up and further in
I am right here, where I've always been
Further up and further in

You run like a criminal
When you need me
You were tongue-tied and elegant
When you need me

SOLVE COAGULA by Marilyn Manson

You are the one
Tore off both your arms
Gouged out your eyes
And ripped out your own tongue
So listen

I'm not special
I'm just broken
And I don't wanna be fixed

No one else
I, no one else I
Wanna be like
So I stayed the same
Like nobody else

So you think you can sing or clap
Well all you need is an ear
So listen

I'm not special
I'm just broken
And I don't wanna be fixed

No one else
I, no one else I
Wanna be like
So I stayed the same
Like nobody else

I'm not special
I'm just broken
And I don't wanna be fixed

Into The Surf (by Foals)

If you come again
I'll be sure to send the tide to come meet you
And if I come again
Please be sure to send the moon to come meet me

I'll eat up all your pain
Take in all the blame
Be that someone to complain to
I'll be like water, when you rise
Plant a jasmine in the night

When I return there's a moon pool on fire
Into the surf, again
There's a moon pool in bloom

And if you come again
I'll be sure to send the tide to come meet you
And if I come again
Please be sure to send the moon to come meet me

There's a lighthouse in the dark
A garden in the past
Under bruisings of a night sky

Be like water, when I rise
Plant a jasmine in the night

When I return there's a moon pool on fire
Into the surf, again
There's a moon pool in bloom

There's a serpent on the beach
If I'm out of reach
Place a garland in the sea for me

When the tide comes rolling in
Please be sure to send a blood moon for me
A garland in the sea

And if I don't make it home
Wrap the jasmine round my bones
A blood moon for me
A garland in the sea
And if I don't make it home
Wrap the jasmine round my bones
A garland in the sea
A blood moon for me

Seeker

Lost among the crossways on my path
Thought I might have seen a sign
Or just some light to guide me back alive
Every single choice has led me here

Then you show up
With your wisdom and your dark smoke
And lift me up
From my own grave, from the undertow...

And the options all lead to destruction
Pain that cannot be avoided though I try
You insist on being the bringer of desire
My breath gets thinner the closer you are

You seek salvation and truth
Blind to understand you are fire
You seek salvation and truth
Blind to understand you are death

Then you show up
With your wisdom and your dark smoke
And lift me up
From my own grave, from the undertow...

You seek salvation and truth
Blind to understand you are...

FTF 32

Winds of swift change, but nothing ever gets through.

01 Tool - 7empest: Around the song there's a story about a little boy and bad news on him, and a tempest must be just that, "A tempest must be just that...", thank you sweetness.
02 Slipknot - Unsainted: Images of the numbers shredding this live, first time with the view of perfect destruction. "Im holding on to letting go!"
03 Hellyeah - Welcome Home: Passing over is a feeling much bigger than death... it has to do with separation ot just finding the place where you can call home. Anyways, chains must be broken.
04 Badflower - The Jester: When you find yourself just playing around for the fun of it and living for the applause and laughter of those above you. "Is there anybody out there looking out for me?". Loneliness in the middle of a crowd.
05 Twenty One Pilots - Leave The City: This one was the last addition, a tuesday night walking home, needing to feel the burning of feeling, of twisted feelings growing back. "They know that it's almost over...". Will always love this album, the immersive experience of hearing it back to back while leaving the city.
06 Keane - Stupid Things: A memory of one of the songs that were shared with a purple soul. All lies, all games, all nonsense... but the feeling remained.
07 LP - Lost On You: A song that came from More and it is a reminder that there are more things to come. Pictures of working out, tattoos and more.
08 Dido - Hurricanes: Taking risks to face hurricanes. Nothing left to say here, thanks Blue Heart.
09 Gorillaz - Fire Flies: A song just to let yourself get lost in melodies and find a safe place to hide from all that scares you.
10 CHVRCHES - God's Plan: "Shaped and defined by God's plan", those days are long gone, belonging was a word that used to have a meaning. Now the plan has no strings...
11 Silversun Pickups - Dots and Dashes (Enough Already): After almost a decade I came back to this song, I remember walking late night over an avenue, when I wished I was invisible through the streets so cars would not dare to stop. Anyways, "I'm already cursed"
12 Thrice - Beyond The Pines: I remember standing on a corner, late night, hearing this song on repeat, thinking of a place in my imagination were no problem shall touch me. Thrice striking down on my soul again.
13 Bullet For My Valentine - Breathe Underwater: The symbol of water and drowning has been a constant through all these melodies, disaster coming, cleansing and the end approaching like a ghost... "I don't know how we got here, but I know I don't belong"...
14 Ghost - Cirice: A new mantra repeated endlessly... "can't you see that your lost without me".
15 Linkin Park - Pushing Me Away: The feeling that for almost 20 years was held inside, the feeling of holding on to everything for the sake of keeping the status quo. Pushing myself away, anyway.

And more shall come before we set free...

Hurricanes (by Dido)

I wanna wake up
With your weight by my side
And I wanna think that
You look good as you rise
And I wanna turn to you
Turn around by your side
And I wanna think
But not to say

Let me face
The sound and fury
Let me face
Hurricanes

And I wanna see you
As you walk through the door
And time will make us
Some ways less and some ways more
And I wanna talk of nothing
As the world passes by
And I wanna think
But not to say

Let me face
The sound and fury
Let me face
Hurricanes

Let me not turn away
From happiness or pain
Just not to run away
In my heart and in my head

Let me face
Hurricanes

Hurricane

Let me face
The sound and fury
Let me face
Hurricanes
