Break Your Heart - Taio Cruz

Break Your Heart - Taio Cruz





Lyrics:

Now listen to me baby
Before i love and leave you
They call me heart breaker
I don't wanna deceive ya

If you fall for me
I'm not easy to please
I might tear you apart
Told you from the start
Baby form the start

I'm only gonna break break your break break your heart (x4)

There's no point trying to hide it
No point trying to tease me
I know i got a problem
By doing this behavior

Now listen to me baby
Before i love and leave you
They call me heartbreaker
I don't wanna deceive ya

I'm only gonna break break your break break your heart (x4)

And i know karma's gonna get me back for being so cold.
Like a big bad wolf, I'm born to be and bad to the bone.

If you fall me I'm gonna tear you apart
Told you from the start

I'm only gonna break break your break break your heart (x4)


Description:

This song's lyrics don't make sense at all, but there's a catchy rhythm to it. If you go to Youtube, there are many good acoustic covers of this song and you should check them out. Because of the repetition, those who made acoustic covers altered the wording and rhythm which makes them more interesting.

Two Is Better Than One - Boys Like Girls (feat. Taylor Swift)

Two Is Better Than One - Boys Like Girls (feat. Taylor Swift)





Lyrics:

I remember what you wore on the first day
You came into my life and I thought
"Hey, you know, this could be something"
'Cause everything you do and words you say
You know that it all takes my breath away
And now I'm left with nothing

So maybe it's true
That I can't live without you
And maybe two is better than one
But there's so much time
To figure out the rest of my life
And you've already got me coming undone
And I'm thinking two is better than one

I remember every look upon your face
The way you roll your eyes
The way you taste
You make it hard for breathing
'Cause when I close my eyes and drift away
I think of you and everything's okay
I'm finally now believing

That maybe it's true
That I can't live without you
And maybe two is better than one
But there's so much time
To figure out the rest of my life
And you've already got me coming undone
And I'm thinking two is better than one


I remember what you wore on the first day
You came into my life and I thought, "Hey,"

Maybe it's true
That I can't live without you
Maybe two is better than one
But there's so much time
To figure out the rest of my life
And you've already got me coming undone
And I'm thinking
I can't live without you
'Cause, baby, two is better than one
But there's so much time
To figure out the rest of my life
But I'll figure it out
When all is said and done
Two is better than one
Two is better than one


This is a softer song for once, and it's not that bad considering the fact that Boys Like Girls and Taylor Swift are the artists. I only know a couple of songs where both a male and female sing a song and this is one of them (and most recently discovered). It's pretty old, and I can't believe I hadn't known it earlier.

Face Down - Red Jumpsuit Apparatus

Face Down - Red Jumpsuit Apparatus





Lyrics:

Hey, girl, you know you drive me crazy
one look puts the rhythm in my hand.
Still I'll never understand why you hang around
I see what's going down.

Cover up with makeup in the mirror
tell yourself, it's never gonna happen again
You cry alone and then he swears he loves you.

Do you feel like a man when you push her around?
Do you feel better now as she falls to the ground?
Well I'll tell you my friend, one day this world's going to end
as your lies crumble down, a new life she has found.

A pebble in the water makes a ripple effect
every action in this world will bear a consequence
If you wade around forever, you will surely drown
I see what's going down.

I see the way you go and say you're right again,
say you're right again
Heed my lecture.

Do you feel like a man when you push her around?
Do you feel better now as she falls to the ground?
Well I'll tell you my friend, one day this world's going to end
as your lies crumble down, a new life she has...

One day she will tell you that she has had enough
It's coming round again.
[x2]

Do you feel like a man when you push her around?
Do you feel better now as she falls to the ground?
Well I'll tell you my friend, one day this world's going to end
as your lies crumble down, a new life she has...

Face down in the dirt, she said,
"This doesn't hurt", she said,
"I finally had enough."

Face down in the dirt, she said,
"This doesn't hurt", she said,
"I finally had enough."

Description:

This is one of the finest modern rock songs done by R.J.A. But this group sticks out to me because of their ability to use instrumentals of rock to create sad and gloomy songs. You'll probably see some sad songs by this group in future posts.

Make A Wish - Ellegarden

Make A Wish - Ellegarden





Lyrics:

Sunday is over
We are all going home
No reason to stay here
But no one has made a move

We know that for sure
Nothing lasts forever
But we have too many things gone too fast

Let's a make a wish
Easy one
That you are not the only one
And someone's there next to you holding your hand
Make a wish
You'll be fine
Nothing's gonna let you down
Someone's there next to you holding you now
Someone's there next to you holding you
Along the paths you walk


Description: I've just come to realize how short the lyrics are, but if you listen to it without the lyrics right in front of you, it's not tedious. Half of the lyrics repeat; the second time it's done so it's in a more heavy rock mood. Like all the other songs I post, it's one of my favorites and I recently listen to it! Enjoy!

Already Over - Red

Already - Red







Lyrics:

You never go
Your always here (suffocating me)
Under my skin
I cannot run away
Fading slowly

I'd give it all to you
Letting go of me
Reaching as I fall
I know it's already over now
Nothing left to lose
Loving you again
I know it's already over, already over now

My best defense, running from you
I can't resist, take all you want from me
Breaking slowly

I'd give it all to you
Letting go of me
Reaching as I fall
I know it's already over now
Nothing left to lose
Loving you again
I know it's already over, already over now!

You're all I'm reaching for
It's already over
All I'm reaching for!
It's already over now

I'd give it all to you
I offer up my soul
It's already over, already over now!

Give it all to you
Letting go of me
Reaching as I fall
I know it's already over now
Nothing left to lose
Loving you again!
I know it's already over now!
It's already over now!
I know it's already over, already over


Description:

This is one of my favorites and I used to listen to it everyday. I'm pretty sure that the play count on my Itunes is over 200! Red isn't a well-known band and they're really underrated (I'd have to say). Check out other songs by Red that I'll probably post later on! Enjoy!

Scars - Papa Roach

Scars - Papa Roach





Lyrics:

I tear my heart open,
I sew myself shut.
My weakness is, that I care too much.
And my scars remind me,
that the past is real...
I tear my heart open,
just to feel.

I'm drunk and I'm feeling down,
and I just wanna be alone.
I'm pissed cause you came around,
why don't you just go home?
Cause you give me all your pain,
and I can't help you fix yourself.
Your making me insane.
All I can say is...

I tear my heart open,
I sew myself shut.
And my weakness is, that I care too much.
And our scars remind us,
that the past is real.
I tear my heart open,
just to feel.

I tried to help you once,
I guessed my own advice,
I saw you going down,
but you never realized,
that your drowning in the water,
so I offered you my hand,
That's just in my nature,
tonight is our last stand.

I tear my heart open,
I sew myself shut.
And my weakness is, that I care too much.
And our scars remind us,
that the past is real.
I tear my heart open,
just to feel.

I can't help you fix yourself,
but at least I can say I tried.
I'm sorry but I gotta move on with my own life.

I can't help you fix yourself,
but at least I can I tried!
I'm sorry but I gotta move on with my own life.

I tear my heart open,
I sew myself shut.
My weakness is, that I can't do much.
And our scars remind us,
that the past is real.
I tear my heart open,
just to feel.

Description:

This is one of my favorite rock songs and for a period of time I was hooked to it (I listened to it over and over again). The melody and lyrics weren't the only reasons why I loved it, but I guess I understood the lyrics and could feel just the same. The lyrics indicate how one was hurt by love and shut himself/herself out from other love. As the protagonist shuts himself out, he starts to torment himself by "tearing his heart open" (this would probably mean recalling the memory of a past love). Anyway, this song is like any other Papa Roach song, for it's vocals are powerful and the instrumentation is amazing.

Beautiful - Akon

Beautiful - Akon





Lyrics:

When I see you
I run out of words to say
I wouldn't leave you
'Cause you're that type of girl to make me stay

I see the guys tryna holla, girl I don't wanna bother you
'Cause you're independent and you got my attention
Can I be your baby father? Girl, I just wanna show you
That I love what you are doin' hun

I see you in the club, you gettin' down girl
I wanna get with you, yeah
I see you in the club, you showin' thugs love
I wanna get with you

You're so beautiful
So damn beautiful
Said you're so beautiful
So damn beautiful

You're so beautiful, beautiful
Beautiful, beautiful
You're so beautiful, beautiful
Beautiful, beautiful
You're so beautiful

Like the clouds you
Drift me away, far away, yeah
And like the sun you
Brighten the day, you brighten my day, yeah

I never wanna see you cry cry cry
And I never wanna tell a lie lie lie
Said I never wanna see you cry cry cry
And I never wanna tell a lie lie lie

I see you in the club, you gettin' down girl
I wanna get with you, yeah
I see you in the club, you showin' thugs love
I wanna get with you

You're so beautiful
So damn beautiful
Said you're so beautiful
So damn beautiful

You're so beautiful, beautiful
Beautiful, beautiful
You're so beautiful, beautiful
Beautiful, beautiful
You're so beautiful

Kardinal told you, whether the sky blue or yellow
This fella ain't that mellow if it ain't about you!
Hourglass shape make a place go 'woo!'
Waistline makes my soldier salute

I'm a brute, high from your high heel game
High heels push up ya ass last name
And you livin' in the fast lane, eyes like an angel
Goddess, watch my gal and how she undress

Spotless, heartless, bad to the bone
Make me wanna go put me in the triple-X zone
Lames don't know how to talk to you
So let me walk with you, hold my hand

I'ma spend them grands but after you undress
Not like a hooker but more like a Princess
Queen, Empress, President
Pull anywhere you go on Earth 'cause you're beautiful, okay?

I see you in the club, you gettin' down girl
I wanna get with you, yeah
I see you in the club, you showin' thugs love
I wanna get with you

You're so beautiful
So damn beautiful
Said you're so beautiful
So damn beautiful

You're so beautiful, beautiful
Beautiful, beautiful
You're so beautiful, beautiful
Beautiful, beautiful
You're so beautiful

Where'd you come from? You're outta this world to me
You're a symbol of what every beautiful woman should be, ooh wee

I never wanna see you cry cry cry
And I never wanna tell a lie lie lie
Said I never wanna see you cry cry cry
And I never wanna tell a lie lie lie

I see you in the club, you gettin' down girl
I wanna get with you, yeah
I see you in the club, you showin' thugs love
I wanna get with you

You're so beautiful
So damn beautiful
Said you're so beautiful
So damn beautiful
You're so beautiful

Description:

Okay, maybe this song is a little too repetitive, but it's still got a great melody and it's really addictive. Akon tends to style his music with repetitiveness like Sorry, Blame It On Me. An aspect that I love about this song is the lyrics. If you read it, there's so much description about the girl the protagonist is falling for and I can feel her uniqueness that makes her special. To aid in the description of this girl, there is usage of metaphors, similes, and symbolism!
