Let It Fall. Let It Crash. Burn Slow.

No matter how many times that you told me you wanted to leave.
No matter how many breaths that you took you still couldn't breathe.
No matter how many nights that you lied wide awake to the sound of the poison rain.

Where did you go? Where did you go? Where did you go?

Heart beat, a heart beat, I need a... heart beat, a heart beat...

Tell me would you kill to save for a life?
Tell me would you kill to prove you're right?
Crash, crash, burn let it all burn.
This hurricane is chasing us all underground.

No matter how many deaths that I die, I will never forget.
No matter how many lifes I live, I will never regret.
There's a fire inside this heart and a riot about to explode into flames.
Where is your God? Where is your God? Where is your God? ...

Do you really want?
Do you really want me?
Do you really want me dead?
Or alive to torture for my sins?

Do you really want?
[heart beat, a heart beat]
Do you really want me?
[I need a.. heart beat, a heart beat]
Do you really want me dead?
[you know I gotta leave, I can't stay,
I know I gotta go, I can't stay]
Or alive to live a lie?

Tell me would you kill to save for a life?
Tell me would you kill to prove you're right?
Crash, crash, burn let it all burn.

This hurricane's chasing us all underground.

You say you're wrong, you're wrong, I'm right, I'm right, you're wrong, we fight.
Ok, I'm running from the light, running from the day to night.
Oh, the quiet silence defines our misery.
The riot inside keeps trying to visit me.
No matter how we try, it's too much history.
Too many bad notes playing in our symphony.
So let it breathe, let it fly, let it go.
Let it fall, let it crash, burn slow.
And then you call upon God.
Oh you call upon God.

Tell me would you kill to save for a life?
Tell me would you kill to prove you're right?
Crash, crash, burn let it all burn.
This hurricane chasing us all underground.

This hurricane...(x5)

Do you really want?
Do you really want me?
Do you really want me dead?
Or alive to torture for my sins?

Do you really want?
Do you really want me?
Do you really want me dead?
Or alive to live a lie.

Running away from the night, running away from the light.
Running away to save you're life.

Just The Way You Are

I so so so so so love this song!!!

Oh her eyes, her eyes
Make the stars look like they're not shining
Her hair, her hair
Falls perfectly without her trying

She's so beautiful
And I tell her every day

Yeah I know, I know
When I compliment her
She wont believe me
And its so, its so
Sad to think she don't see what I see

But every time she asks me do I look okay
I say

When I see your face
There's not a thing that I would change
Cause you're amazing
Just the way you are
And when you smile,
The whole world stops and stares for awhile
Cause girl you're amazing
Just the way you are

Her lips, her lips
I could kiss them all day if she'd let me
Her laugh, her laugh
She hates but I think its so sexy

She's so beautiful
And I tell her every day

Oh you know, you know, you know
Id never ask you to change
If perfect is what you're searching for
Then just stay the same

So don't even bother asking
If you look okay
You know I say

When I see your face
There's not a thing that I would change
Cause you're amazing
Just the way you are
And when you smile,
The whole world stops and stares for awhile
Cause girl you're amazing
Just the way you are

The way you are
The way you are
Girl you're amazing
Just the way you are

Day 16 - A Song That Makes You Cry

Or nearly cry.


This song is by one of my most favorite bands of all time. The message is kinda sad (depressing even) but weirdly enough, I play it whenever I need me a cheer-me-up. Sometimes I cry along with it. Strange. But it helps me. The song kinda tells me that there are other people out there going through worse than me.

Belle of the Boulevard by Dashboard Confessional

As Long As The Wrong Feels Right

Just gonna stand there
And watch me burn
But that's alright
Because I like
The way it hurts
Just gonna stand there
And hear me cry
But that's alright
Because I love
The way you lie
I love the way you lie
I love the way you lie

I can't tell you what it really is
I can only tell you what it feels like
And right now there's a steel knife
In my windpipe
I can't breathe
But I still fight
While I can fight
As long as the wrong feels right
It's like I'm in flight
High of a love
Drunk from the hate
It's like I'm huffing paint
And I love it the more that I suffer
I suffocate
And right before I'm about to drown
She resuscitates me
She fucking hates me
And I love it
Wait
Where you going
I'm leaving you
No you ain't
Come back
We're running right back
Here we go again
It's so insane
Cause when it's going good
It's going great
I'm Superman
With the wind in his bag
She's Lois Lane
But when it's bad
It's awful
I feel so ashamed
I snap
Who's that dude
I don't even know his name
I laid hands on her
I'll never stoop so low again
I guess I don't know my own strength

Just gonna stand there
And watch me burn
But that's alright
Because I like
The way it hurts
Just gonna stand there
And hear me cry
But that's alright
Because I love
The way you lie
I love the way you lie
I love the way you lie

You ever love somebody so much
You can barely breathe
When you're with them
You meet
And neither one of you
Even know what hit 'em
Got that warm fuzzy feeling
Yeah them chills
Used to get 'em
Now you're getting fucking sick
Of looking at 'em
You swore you've never hit 'em
Never do nothing to hurt 'em
Now you're in each other's face
Spewing venom
And these words
When you spit 'em
You push
Pull each other's hair
Scratch, claw, bit 'em
Throw 'em down
Pin 'em
So lost in the moments
When you're in 'em
It's the rage that took over
It controls you both
So they say it's best
To go your separate ways
Guess that they don't know ya
Cause today
That was yesterday
Yesterday is over
It's a different day
Sound like broken records
Playin' over
But you promised her
Next time you'll show restraint
You don't get another chance
Life is no Nintendo game
But you lied again
Now you get to watch her leave
Out the window
Guess that's why they call it window pane

Just gonna stand there
And watch me burn
But that's alright
Because I like
The way it hurts
Just gonna stand there
And hear me cry
But that's alright
Because I love
The way you lie
I love the way you lie
I love the way you lie

Now I know we said things
Did things
That we didn't mean
And we fall back
Into the same patterns
Same routine
But your temper's just as bad
As mine is
You're the same as me
But when it comes to love
You're just as blinded
Baby please come back
It wasn't you
Baby it was me
Maybe our relationship
Isn't as crazy as it seems
Maybe that's what happens
When a tornado meets a volcano
All I know is
I love you too much
To walk away though
Come inside
Pick up your bags off the sidewalk
Don't you hear sincerity
In my voice when I talk
Told you this is my fault
Look me in the eyeball
Next time I'm pissed
I'll aim my fist
At the dry wall
Next time
There will be no next time
I apologize
Even though I know it's lies
I'm tired of the games
I just want her back
I know I'm a liar
If she ever tries to fucking leave again
I'mma tie her to the bed
And set the house on fire

Just gonna stand there
And watch me burn
But that's alright
Because I like
The way it hurts
Just gonna stand there
And hear me cry
But that's alright
Because I love
The way you lie
I love the way you lie
I love the way you lie

So my plans of visiting a salon to get my hair colored didn't push through. For one thing, my dad (a.k.a. my financier) is MIA. For another, my brother stole the car to go watch a movie. I ended up staying in the house all day, plucking my mom's white hair (ugh), watching How I Met Your Mother on DVD, and now, blogging and sound-tripping to Maroon 5. Which brings me to my last song syndrome.

She Will Be Loved by Maroon 5
...I don’t mind spending everyday
Out on your corner in the pouring rain
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile
And she will be loved...

I love Maroon 5. And this may seem mainstream, but this is my favorite song of them. It's just so sad...in a beautiful way.

LSS

♫ Put yo hands up! ♫

You know I know how
To make 'em stop and stare as I zone out
The club can't even handle me right now
Watchin you I'm watchin you we go all out
The club can't even handle me right now

Day 1 - Your Favorite Song

Ha. 30 Days project starting...TODAY.
Picking my favorite song can be difficult since I have a lot. But I'll go with something alternative--my first love in music.

I remember listening endlessly to Oasis songs when I was still in elementary school while my friends all went crazy for some pop group like the Spice Girls, B*Witched, NSync and the Backstreet Boys. Although I did have my pop fanatic phase, I've always been in love with alternative music. And Oasis is my all-time favorite band.
I chose Wonderwall because they're so well-known for it. But I love all their songs equally. There's something about the way they perform their songs that puts me in an easy breezy mood. It's like telling me that everything's gonna be just fine. :)

Still hung over from Step Up 3D. This has been playing non-stop in my PC.

And I know (I know) we’ll stand together when the world falls down
And I know (I know) that our forever’s gonna start right now, yeah

There’s this girl, the one and only wonder of this world (my world)
And it don’t matter if the road gets rough (yeah) if me rich or poor (yeah)
She stay down with me if me go to war (my girl)

Eek! This song makes my heart melt each time I listen to it! :)

I can't find a recorded version of this Bethany Joy Galeotti song. *I first heard it on One Tree Hill being sung by Bethany who plays Haley James Scott* I'm not really sure if she's the original but comparing hers with Idina's, I'd say I love Bethany's version more because she performed it gently and very passionately.

But here's sharing the lyrics with you guys...and attaching Idina Menzel's rendering which is also great.

I was reminded of the song because I'm feeling a wee bit sad tonight. :(

Let Me Fall

It's October again
Leaves are coming down
One more year's come and gone
And nothing's changed at all
Wasn't I supposed to be someone
Who can face the things that I've been running from...
Let me feel, I don't care if I breakdown
Let me fall, even if I hit the ground
And if I...
Cry a little
Die a little
At least I know I lived, just a little...
I've become much too good at being invincible
I'm an expert at play it safe, and keep it cool
But I swear this isn't who I'm meant to be
I refuse to let my life roll all over me...
Let me feel, I don't care if I breakdown
Let me fall, even if I hit the ground
And if I...
Cry a little
Die a little
At least I know I lived, just a little...
I wanna be somebody
I, I wanna be somebody
I wanna be somebody
I, I wanna be somebody who can face the things that I've been running from
Let me feel, I don't care if I breakdown
Let me fall, even if I hit the ground
And if I
Cry a little
Die a little
At least I know I lived...
It's October again
Leaves are coming down
One more year's come and gone
And nothing's changed at all

Don't trade our love for tea and sympathy..."

Define LSS or Last Song Syndrome: (by Urban Dictionary)

1. To listen to music before going out of the house, and having the last song you hear before leaving stick in your head all through your journey, and beyond. Is usually accompanied by subconscious humming. This syndrome is particularly dangerous when the song happens to be the most pathetic, crappy, albeit catchy song ever.

2. When you end up singing random songs that you last heard whether you like the song or not. You might have heard this song in a span of 30mins or a max 8hrs.

Cannonball by Damien Rice

"There's still a little bit of your song, in my ear...
There's still a little bit of your words, I long to hear..."

I remember first hearing this song in an episode of The O.C. It was playing in the background the time Rachel Bilson's character, Summer Roberts, realizes that he likes Seth Cohen (Adam Brody) more than a friend, but Seth was dating Anna Stern (the female Seth) which makes the 2 impossible to get together. It was a rather sad and hopeless moment for Summer. And Seth who loved Summer since episode 1. Le sigh. I miss The O.C.

Today was an easy day, despite the hard rain. The boyfriend came over to hang out (since he works very near where I live) until it stopped. We saw The Time Traveler's Wife on DVD. Finally.

That's What You Get When You Let Your Heart Win

Paramore went here in Manila for the last stop of their tour. I'm not really a fan. I just know of them and some of their songs. I wasn't going to watch but since my boss gave me, Ish and Sir Alan free bronze tickets, we went. (And it's an added bonus that my brother was going as well so I won't have problems getting a ride home.)

It was super. I had fun surprisingly.

PARAMORE vs. PARALESS (get it? pey paraless? hyuk hyuk.)

Hayley: Manila, how're you feeling?
Crowd: WOOOOOOOO!!!
Sir Alan: Ha? We're feeling woo?

*BTW, her shirt says Para-Thrilla in Manila. Cute eh?
