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.

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

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

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 a symbol of what every beautiful woman should be, ooh wee

And I never wanna tell a lie lie lie

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!

Lyrics:

When our time is up
When our lives are done
Will we say we've had our fun?

Will we make a mark this time?
Will we always say we tried?

Standing on the rooftops
Everybody scream your heart out.
Standing on the rooftops
Everybody scream your heart out.
Standing on the rooftops

This is all we got now
Everybody scream your heart out.

All the love I've met
I have no regrets
If it all ends now, I'm set

Lyrics:

We'll do it all
Everything
On our own

We don't need
Anything
Or anyone

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me
And just forget the world?

I don't quite know
How to say
How I feel

Those three words
Are said too much
They're not enough

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me
And just forget the world?

Forget what we're told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden
That's bursting into life

Let's waste time
Chasing cars
Around our heads

I need your grace
To remind me
To find my own

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me
And just forget the world?

Forget what we're told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden
That's bursting into life

All that I am
All that I ever was
Is here in your perfect eyes
They're all I can see

I don't know where
Confused about how as well
Just know that these things
Will never change for us at all

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me
And just forget the world?

How To Save A Life - The Fray

How To Save A Life - The Fray





Lyrics:

Step one, you say, ?We need to talk?
He walks, you say, ?Sit down, it's just a talk?
He smiles politely back at you
You stare politely right on through

Some sort of window to your right
As he goes left and you stay right
Between the lines of fear and blame
You begin to wonder why you came

Where did I go wrong? I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

Let him know that you know best
?Cause after all, you do know best
Try to slip past his defense
Without granting innocence

Lay down a list of what is wrong
The things you've told him all along
And pray to God he hears you
And pray to God he hears you

And where did I go wrong? I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

As he begins to raise his voice
You lower yours and grant him one last choice
Drive until you lose the road
Or break with the ones you've followed

He will do one of two things
He will admit to everything
Or he'll say he's just not the same
And you'll begin to wonder why you came

Where did I go wrong? I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

Where did I go wrong? I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

How to save a life
How to save a life

Where did I go wrong? I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

Where did I go wrong? I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

How to save a life
How to save a life

My Immortal - Evanescence





Lyrics:

I'm so tired of being here, suppressed by all my childish fears
And if you have to leave, I wish that you would just leave
Your presence still lingers here and it won't leave me alone

These wounds won't seem to heal, this pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase

When you cried, I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream, I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have all of me

You used to captivate me by your resonating light
Now, I'm bound by the life you left behind
Your face it haunts my once pleasant dreams
Your voice it chased away all the sanity in me

These wounds won't seem to heal, this pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase

When you cried, I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream, I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have all of me

I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone
But though you're still with me, I've been alone all along

When you cried, I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream, I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have all of me, me, me

Bring Me To Life - Evanescence





Lyrics:

How can you see into my eyes like open doors?
Leading you down into my core where I've become so numb
Without a soul, my spirit sleeping somewhere cold
Until you find it there and lead it back home

Wake me up
(Wake me up inside)
I can't wake up
(Wake me up inside)
Save me
(Call my name and save me from the dark)

Wake me up
(Bid my blood to run)
I can't wake up
(Before I come undone)
Save me
(Save me from the nothing I've become)

Now that I know what I'm without
You can't just leave me
Breathe into me and make me real
Bring me to life

Wake me up
(Wake me up inside)
I can't wake up
(Wake me up inside)
Save me
(Call my name and save me from the dark)

Wake me up
(Bid my blood to run)
I can't wake up
(Before I come undone)
Save me
(Save me from the nothing I've become)

I've been living a lie
There's nothing inside
Bring me to life

Frozen inside without your touch
Without your love, darling
Only you are the life among the dead

All this time, I can't believe I couldn't see
Kept in the dark but you were there in front of me
I've been sleeping a thousand years it seems
Got to open my eyes to everything

Without thought, without voice, without a soul
Don't let me die here
There must be something more
Bring me to life

Wake me up
(Wake me up inside)
I can't wake up
(Wake me up inside)
Save me
(Call my name and save me from the dark)

Wake me up
(Bid my blood to run)
I can't wake up
(Before I come undone)
Save me
(Save me from the nothing I've become)

I've been living a lie
There's nothing inside
Bring me to life

Lyrics:

Oh no, I see,
A spider web is tangled up with me,
And I lost my head,
The thought of all the stupid things I'd said,
Oh no, what's this?
A spider web, and I'm caught in the middle,
So I turned to run,
The thought of all the stupid things I've done,

I never meant to cause you trouble,
And I never meant to do you wrong,
And I, well if I ever caused you trouble,
O no, I never meant to do you harm.

Oh no, I see,
A spider web and it's me in the middle,
So I twist and turn,
But here am I in my little bubble

Singing, I never meant to cause you trouble,
I never meant to do you wrong,
And I, well if I ever caused you trouble,
Although I never meant to do you harm.

They spun a web for me,
They spun a web for me,
They spun a web for me.

Lyrics:

Thought it was dead and buried
Then it woke you up last night
You sounded so damn worried
You've been tossin', turnin', both ends burnin'

I wanna put your mind at ease again
Make everythin' alright
I know it's gettin' underneath your skin
I've tried to tell you now

Don't look over your shoulder
'Cause that's just the ghost of me you're seein' in your dreams
Wait, there's no rhyme or reason
Sometimes there's no meanin' in the visions when you're sleepin'

Don't wake up and believe them
You're lookin' at the ghost of me
You're lookin' at the ghost of me

With your imagination and emotions runnin' wild
Fuelin' my frustration like a fire burnin', clock keeps turnin'
I know it's gettin' underneath your skin
I've tried to tell you now

Don't look over your shoulder
'Cause that's just the ghost of me you're seein' in your dreams
Wait, there's no rhyme or reason
Sometimes there's no meanin' in the visions when you're sleepin'

Don't wake up and believe them
You're lookin' at the ghost of me
You're lookin' at the ghost of me
You're lookin' at the ghost of me

Don't look over your shoulder
'Cause that's just the ghost of me you're seein'
Wait, there's no rhyme or reason
Sometimes there's no meanin' in the visions when you're sleepin'

Don't wake up and believe them
Visions when you're sleepin'
Don't wake up and believe them
You're lookin' at the ghost of me
You're lookin' at the ghost of me
You're lookin' at the ghost of me

Lyrics:

Come up to meet you, tell you I'm sorry
You don't know how lovely you are

I had to find you
Tell you I need you
Tell you I've set you apart

Tell me your secrets
And ask me your questions
Oh, let's go back to the start

Running in circles
Coming up tails
Heads on the science apart

Nobody said it was easy
It's such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said it would be this hard

Oh take me back to the start

I was just guessing
At numbers and figures
Pulling the puzzles apart

Questions of science
Science and progress
Do not speak as loud as my heart

Oh tell me you love me
Come back and haunt me
Oh and I rush to the start

Running in circles
Chasing our tails
Coming back as we are

Nobody said it was easy
Oh, it's such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said it would be so hard

I’m going back to the start

Oh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ah ooh ooh ooh ooh
Oh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Oh ooh ooh ooh ooh

Lyrics:

Paper bags and plastic hearts
All are belongings in shopping carts
It's goodbye
But we got one more night
Let's get drunk and ride around
And make peace with an empty town
We can make it right

Throw it away
Forget yesterday
We'll make the great escape
We won't hear a word they say
They don't know us anyway
Watch it burn
Let it die
Cause we are finally free tonight

Tonight will change our lives
It's so good to be by your side
But we'll cry
We won't give up the fight
We'll scream loud at the top of our lungs
And they'll think it's just cause we're young
And we'll feel so alive

Throw it away
Forget yesterday
We'll make the great escape
We won't hear a word they say
They don't know us anyway
Watch it burn
Let it die
Cause we are finally free tonight

All of the wasted time
The hours that were left behind
The answers that we'll never find
They don't mean a thing tonight

Throw it away
Forget yesterday
We'll make the great escape
We won't hear a word they say
They don't know us anyway

Throw it away
Forget yesterday
We'll make the great escape
We won't hear a word they say
They don't know us anyway

Throw it away
Forget yesterday
We'll make the great escape
We won't hear a word they say
They don't know us anyway
Watch it burn
Let it die
Cause we are finally free tonight

Breath - Breaking Benjamin








Lyrics:

I see nothing in your eyes, and the more I see the less I like.

Is it over yet, in my head?

I know nothing of your kind, and I won't reveal your evil mind.

Is it over yet? I can't win.

So sacrifice yourself, and let me have what's left.
I know that I can find the fire in your eyes.
I'm going all the way, get away, please.

You take the breath right out of me.
You left a hole where my heart should be.
You got to fight just to make it through,
'cause I will be the death of you.

This will be all over soon.
Pour salt into the open wound.

Is it over yet? Let me in.

So sacrifice yourself, and let me have what's left.
I know that I can find the fire in your eyes.
I'm going all the way, get away, please.

You take the breath right out of me.
You left a hole where my heart should be.
You got to fight just to make it through,
'cause I will be the death of you.

I'm waiting, I'm hating, realize, start hiding!

You take the breath right out of me.
You left a hole where my heart should be.
You got to fight just to make it through,
'cause I will be the death of you.

The Diary Of Jane - Breaking Benjamin

The Diary Of Jane - Breaking Benjamin






Lyrics:

If I had to
I would put myself right beside you
So let me ask
Would you like that?
Would you like that?

And I don't mind
If you say this love is the last time
So now I'll ask
Do you like that?
Do you like that?

No!

Something's getting in the way.
Something's just about to break.
I will try to find my place in the diary of Jane.
So tell me how it should be.

Try to find out what makes you tick.
As I lie down
Sore and sick.
Do you like that?
Do you like that?

There's a fine line between love and hate.
And I don't mind.
Just let me say that
I like that
I like that

Something's getting in the way.
Something's just about to break.
I will try to find my place in the diary of Jane.
As I burn another page,
As I look the other way.
I still try to find my place in the diary of Jane.
So tell me how it should be.

Desperate, I will crawl
Waiting for so long
No love, there is no love.
Die for anyone
What have I become?

Something's getting in the way.
Something's just about to break.
I will try to find my place in the diary of Jane.
As I burn another page,
As I look the other way.
I still try to find my place in the diary of Jane.

Sorry, Blame It On Me - Akon

Sorry, Blame It On Me - Akon





Lyrics:

As life goes on I’m starting to learn more and more about responsibility
I realize everything I do is affecting the people around me
So I want to take this time out to apologize for things I have done
And things that have not occurred yet
And the things they don’t want to take responsibility for

I’m sorry for the times I left you home
I was on the road and you were alone
I’m sorry for the times that I had to go
I’m sorry for the fact that I did not know
That you were sitting home just wishing we
Could go back to when it was just you and me
I’m sorry for the times I would neglect
I’m sorry for the times I disrespect

I’m sorry for the wrong things that I’ve done
I’m sorry I’m not always there for my sons
I’m sorry for the fact that I'm not aware
That you can’t sleep at night when I am not there
Because I am in the streets like everyday
Sorry for the things that I did not say
Like how you are the best thing in my world
And how I'm so proud to call you my girl

I understand that there are some problems
And I am not too blind to know
All the pain you kept inside you
Even though you might not show
If I can't apologize for being wrong
Then it’s just a shame on me
I’ll be the reason for your pain and you can put the blame on me

You can put the blame on me
You can put the blame on me
You can put the blame on me
You can put the blame on me
Said you can put the blame on me
Said you can put the blame on me
Said you can put the blame on me
You can put the blame on me

Sorry for the things that he put you through
And all the times you didn’t know what to do
Sorry that you had to go and sell those packs
Just trying to stay busy till you heard from Dad
And you would rather be home with all your kids
As one big family with love and bliss
And even though Pops treated us like kings

He got a second wife and you didn’t agree
He got up and left you there all alone
I’m sorry that you had to do it on your own
I’m sorry that I went and added to your grief
I’m sorry that your son was once a thief
I’m sorry that I grew up way too fast
I wish I would’ve listened and not be so bad
I’m sorry your life turned out this way
I’m sorry that the FEDS came and took me away

[Bridge]

I’m sorry that it took so long to see
They were dead wrong trying to put it on me
I’m sorry that it took so long to speak
But I was on tour with Gwen Stefani
I’m sorry for the hand that she was dealt
For the embarrassment that she felt
Just a little young girl trying to have fun
Her daddy should never let her out that young
I’m sorry for Club Zen getting shut down
I hope they manage better next time around
How was I to know she was underage
In a 21 and older club they say
Why doesn’t anybody wanna take blame
Verizon backed out disgracing my name
I’m just a singer trying to entertain
Because I love my fans I’ll take that blame
Even though the blame’s on you
Even though the blame’s on you
Even though the blame’s on you
I’ll take that blame from you

And you can put that blame on me
And you can put that blame on me
You can put that blame on me
And you can put that blame on me

Description:

This song has meaning to both Akon and may have different meanings to individuals. To Akon, this song would show how he is willing to accept whatever criticism and insults from fans and he will keep singing for them regardless. To me, this reminds me of how certain parents are out late working and cannot invest any time for their children. A long time ago, I left this song playing before I fell asleep and my mom asked me whether this was a message to her and my dad; I realized it was totally meant for them and laughed.

I Don't Think I Love You - Hoobastank

I Don't Think I Love You - Hoobastank





Lyrics:

I wonder what you'll take from me today
Sanity or just my breath away
It's hard to say
Impossible for me to tell
We're always walking on eggshells
Who you're going to be from day to day today

I wish that we could go back
To what we were before
But I don't think that I love you anymore, anymore

Wonder why it is that you don't see
What you've changed since we first met
And how much that is killing me
I know that I will always miss
The butterflies of our first kiss
And how you use to smile so easily

I wish that we could go back
To what we were before
But I don't think that I love you anymore, anymore

It's too hard to keep pretending
It's too hard to ignore
But I don't think that I love you anymore, anymore

I'm sorry, I'm sorry
I never thought that it will come to this
I know we'll never get back
To how we were before
Cuz I know that I don't love you anymore

It's too hard to keep pretending
It's too hard to ignore
But I know that I don't love you anymore, anymore

I'm sorry...

Description:

I got to know this song through a movie (currently I can't remember what movie it was). The lyrics for this song are quite strong and it's quite straight-to-the-point. It's about how one is too tired to pretend to love the other and directly states how there can no longer be love. I really don't have much to write about this song since I've been writing about Hoobastank's rock songs for the past 3 posts.

Whenever I step outside
Somebody claims to see the light
It seems to me that all of us have lost our patience

'Cause everyone thinks they're right
And nobody thinks that there just might
Be more than one road to our final destination

But I'm not ever going to know
If I'm right or wrong
'Cause we're all going in the same direction

And I'm not sure which way to go
Because all along
We've been going in the same direction

I'm tired of playing games
Of looking for someone else to blame
For all the holes in answers that are clearly showing

For something to fill the space
Was all of the time I spent a waste
'Cause so many choices point the same way I was going?

But I'm not ever going to know
If I'm right or wrong
'Cause we're all going in the same direction

And I'm not sure which way to go
Because all along
We've been going in the same direction

Going in the same direction
Same direction
(Same direction)

So why does there only have to be
One correct philosophy?
I don't want to go and follow you
Just to end up like one of them

And why are you always telling me
What you want me to believe?
I'd like to think that I can go my own way
And meet you in the end
Go my own way and meet you in the end

I'm not ever going to know
If I'm right or wrong
'Cause we're all going in the same direction

And I'm not sure which way to go
Because all along
We've been going in the same direction

Going in the same direction
Going in the same direction
Same direction
(Same direction)

Description:

Like the two previous songs I've written about, this is just like both of them. There are strong vocals and it's a powerful rock song. If you look at the lyrics carefully, you can notice how the protagonist seems to be tired of excuses and wants to confess his crimes (I got this feeling after seeing the music video too). Also, I felt that the protagonist was trying to mention that whoever his accomplice was for whatever he did, the accomplice would be going down with him, for they're going in the same direction.

Running Away - Hoobastank

Running Away - Hoobastank





Lyrics:

I don't want you, to give it all up
And leave your own life, collecting dust
And I don't want you, to feel sorry for me
You never gave us, a chance to be

And I don't need you, to be by my side
To tell me, that everything's alright
I just wanted you, to tell me the truth
You know I'd do that for you

So why are you running away?
Why are you running away?

Cause I did enough, to show you that I
Was willing to give, and sacrifice
And I was the one, who was lifting you up
When you thought your life had had enough

And when I get close, you turn away
There's nothing that I can do or say
So now I need you, to tell me the truth
You know I'd do that for you

So why are you running away?
Why are you running away?

Is it me, is it you?
Nothing that, I can do
To make you, change your mind

Is it me, is it you?
Nothing that, I can do
Is it a, waste of time?

Is it me, is it you?
Nothing that, I can do
To make you, change your mind - no

So why are you running away?
Why are you running away? (what is it, I have to say)

So why are you running away? (to make you admit, you're afraid)
Why are you running away?

Description:

For awhile, I was only listening to this song repetitively. What I love about this song is the acoustic guitar replacing the electric guitar and the powerful vocals. I can really feel the frustration and desire as the vocalist sings "why are you running away?". It's really important to me for vocalists to actually sing with the passion and meaning that is in the lyrics of their songs.

Crawling In The Dark - Hoobastank

Crawling In The Dark - Hoobstank





Lyrics:

I will dedicate
And sacrifice my everything for just a second's worth
Of how my story's ending
And I wish I could know if the directions that I take
And all the choices that I make won't end up all for nothing

Show me what it's for
Make me understand it
I've been crawling in the dark looking for the answer
Is there something more than what I've been handed?
I've been crawling in the dark looking for the answer

Help me carry on
Assure me it's ok to use my heart and not my eyes
To navigate the darkness
Will the ending be ever coming suddenly?
Will I ever get to see the ending to my story?

Show me what it's for
Make me understand it
I've been crawling in the dark looking for the answer
Is there something more than what I've been handed?
I've been crawling in the dark looking for the answer

So when and how will I know?
How much further do I have to go?
How much longer until I finally know?
Because I'm looking and I just can't see what's in front of me
In front of me

Show me what it's for
Make me understand it
I've been crawling in the dark looking for the answer
Is there something more than what I've been handed?
I've been crawling in the dark looking for the answer

Description:

This song is old like most of the songs I post that are by Hoobastank. A couple years ago, I used to put the volume to the max and went crazy to this song and other Hoobastank songs. Like any rock song, this one has all the instrumentation of rock (electric, bass, and the drum) and I really enjoy the power in the vocals.

The Reason - Hoobastank

The Reason - Hoobastank





Lyrics:

I'm not a perfect person
There's many things I wish I didn't do
But I continue learning
I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know

I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
And the reason is you

I'm sorry that I hurt you
It's something I must live with every day
And all the pain I put you through
I wish that I could take it all away
And be the one who catches all your tears
That's why I need you to hear

I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
And the reason is you

And the reason is you
And the reason is you
And the reason is you

I'm not a perfect person
I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know

I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
And the reason is you

I've found a reason to show
A side of me you didn't know
A reason for all that I do
And the reason is you

Description:

Hoobastank is one of my favorite bands and they're primarily write rock music. However, this is their only gloomy song. I guess this is why it's more special to me. The song is about how the reason for everything for love to occur was a certain girl, and how the protagonist was willing to change himself just for whoever he was in love with. I love these love songs.

What I've Done - Linkin Park

What I've Done - Linkin Park





Lyrics:

In this farewell,
There's no blood,
There's no alibi.
'Cause I've drawn regret,
From the truth,
Of a thousand lies.

So let mercy come,
And wash away...

What I've Done.
I'll face myself,
To cross out what I've become.
Erase myself,
And let go of what I've done.

Put to rest
What you thought of me.
While I clean this slate,
With the hands,
Of uncertainty.

So let mercy come,
And wash away...

What I've Done.
I'll face myself,
To cross out what I've become.
Erase myself,
And let go of what I've done.

For What I've Done

I'll start again,
And whatever pain may come.
Today this ends,
I'm forgiving what I've done.

I'll face myself,
To cross out what I've become.
Erase myself,
And let go of what I've done.
What I've done.

Forgiving What I've Done.

Description:

This is one of my favorite songs; it was released in 2007 in a soundtrack for the movie Transformers. If I hadn't watched this movie I would never have got to know about Linkin Park and this brilliant song. There's so much energy in the climax and it's sung with rasp screaming with melodic control (which is why I love it). All of Linkin Park's songs has a tendency to have screaming with control applied to be applied to their songs, and I hope you notice this as I update other Linkin Park songs.

Ashtray Heart - Placebo





Lyrics:

Cenicero, Cenicero
Mi corazón de cenicero

You are the birth and you are waste
You are the one who took my place
You took a jump into forever
A leap of faith I could not take

And it was
A leap of faith I could not take
A promise that I could not make
A leap of faith I could not take
A promise that I could not make

Cenicero, Cenicero
My ashtray heart
Mi corazón de cenicero
My ashtray heart
Cenicero, Cenicero
My ashtray heart
Mi corazón de cenicero

We were alone before we met
No more forlorn than one could get
How could we know we have found treasure?
How sinister and how correct

And it was
A leap of faith I could not take
A promise that I could not make
A leap of faith I could not take
A promise that I could not make

Cenicero, Cenicero
My ashtray heart
Mi corazón de cenicero
My ashtray heart
Cenicero, Cenicero
My ashtray heart
Mi corazón de cenicero

Cenicero, Cenicero
My ashtray heart
Mi corazón de cenicero
My ashtray heart
Cenicero, Cenicero
My ashtray heart
Mi corazón de cenicero

I tore the muscle from your chest
And used it to stub out cigarettes
I listened to your screams of pleasure
And I watch the bedsheets turn blood red

Cenicero, Cenicero
My ashtray heart
Mi corazón de cenicero
My ashtray heart
Cenicero, Cenicero
My ashtray heart
Mi corazón de cenicero

Cenicero, Cenicero
My ashtray heart
Mi corazón de cenicero
My ashtray heart
Cenicero, Cenicero
My ashtray heart
Mi corazón de cenicero

Description:

I've never really known any English bands, but Placebo has become the first English band I've discovered. I came to know this song by a commercial for a cellphone. At first I didn't understand the lyrics at the climax, and no matter how much I tried to guess there would be no results matching to the actual song; I eventually got to know the song's title by a friend telling me. I still don't understand what "Mi corazon de cenicero" means.

I'm At War - Sean Kingston (ft. Lil Wayne)

I'm At War - Sean Kingston (ft.Lil Wayne)





Lyrics:

I'm at war
Fighting for the one that I love and the one that I truly need
I'm at war
Shawty I take a bullet for you girl
cause you mean the world to me
I'm at war

Me love you girl, you loving me
So don't fight together cause it was meant to be
Me feel like, I'm in the army
Cause to be with you, that's where my heart wanna be

It's like I'm about to die just to get with you
Feel like you're putting me through World War II
Got my soldier suit and my Timberland boots
Girl I'm down for whatever cause my love is true
So I tell her I'm at war with the love of my life
Sweat from my brows running down to my eyes
Everything you are's what I need in my life my life my life

I'm at war
Fighting for the one that I love and the one that I truly need
I'm at war
Shawty I take a bullet for you girl
cause you mean the world to me
I'm at war

At war, at war, at war, at war, at war.
I'm at war
I'm at war

Salute to all the veterans
And girl your love's like a nuclear weapon
I'm a five star purple hearter purple sparker camouflage
Follow my every command and order
You can just call me Captain Carter
So let the missiles rain on your parade
Cause my love is a soldier
and my heart is a grenade, kabloom
I'll bomb any platoon, just call me World War II

I'm at war
Fighting for the one that I love and the one that I truly need
I'm at war
Shawty I take a bullet for you girl
Cause you mean the world to me
I'm at war

Your mother said, don't talk to me
But it went through those ears girl, as I can see
So make me know whats your fantasies

Cause baby girl I think that stands to me
I'm on the front line and Im risking my life
I'll make a sacrifice just to have you by my side
You're the one I love, you're the one I trust
I'll hurt someone that come between us

So I tell her I'm at war with the love of my life
Sweat from my brows running down to my eyes
Everything you are is what I need in my life my life my life

I'm at war
Fighting for the one that I love and the one that I truly need
I'm at war
Shawty I take a bullet for you girl
cause you mean the world to me
I'm at war

Description:

This song isn't that well known and there are quite a lot of haters of Sean Kingston. I came to know this song by looking at songs that pump you up on Youtube. I guess I came to liking this song because of the addictive melody it has like all the other songs I post here.

Paparazzi - Lady Gaga

Paparazzi - Lady Gaga





Lyrics:

We are the crowd
We're c-coming out
Got my flash on it's true
Need that picture of you
It's so magical
We'd be so fantastical

Leather and jeans
Your watch glamorous
Not sure what it means
But this photo of us
It don't have a price
Ready for those flashing lights
'Cause you know that baby I

I'm your biggest fan
I'll follow you until you love me
Papa-paparazzi
Baby there's no other superstar
You know that I'll be your
Papa-paparazzi

Promise I'll be kind
But I won't stop until that boy is mine
Baby you'll be famous
Chase you down until you love me
Papa-paparazzi

I'll be your girl
Backstage at your show
Velvet ropes and guitars
Yeah cause you'll know
I'm staring between the sets
Eyeliner and cigarettes

Shadow is burnt
Yellow dance and return
My lashes are dry
But with teardrops I cry
It don't have a price
Loving you is cherry pie
'Cause you know that baby I

I'm your biggest fan
I'll follow you until you love me
Papa-paparazzi
Baby there's no other superstar
You know that I'll be your
Papa-paparazzi

Promise I'll be kind
But I won't stop until that boy is mine
Baby you'll be famous
Chase you down until you love me
Papa-paparazzi

Real good
Snap, snapped


Don't stop boy, rewind
We'll blast it but we'll still have fun!

I'm your biggest fan
I'll follow you until you love me
Papa-paparazzi
Baby there's no other superstar
You know that I'll be your
Papa-paparazzi

Promise I'll be kind
But I won't stop until that boy is mine
Baby you'll be famous
Chase you down until you love me
Papa-paparazzi

Description:

Lady Gaga is one of very few musicians that have made their influences in fashion and style. She's very unique by how she dresses with brightness and very abstract materials as decorations. The tendency of those who listen to Lady Gaga are either they like her as a musician, or they hate her for being freaky. I personally think that she's a musical genius and her songs are impressive. This song is based on the nosiness of the press and paparazzi and shows how they can sometimes be considered as stalkers.

Down - Jay Sean

Down - Jay Sean (ft. Lil Wayne)





Lyrics:

Baby are you down down down down down,
Down, down,
Even if the sky is falling down,
Down, down
Ooh (ohhh)

You oughta know, tonight is the night to let it go,
Put on a show, i wanna see how you lose control,

So leave it behind ’cause we, have a night to get away,
So come on and fly with me, as we make our great escape.

So baby don’t worry, you are my only,
You won’t be lonely, even if the sky is falling down,
You’ll be my only, no need to worry,
Baby are you down down down down down,
Down, Down,
Baby are you down down down down down,
Down, Down,
Even if the sky is falling down,

Just let it be, come on and bring your body next to me,
I’ll take you away, hey, turn this place into our private getaway,

So leave it behind ’cause we, have a night to get away,
So come on and fly with me, as we make our great escape,
(So why don’t we run away)

So baby don’t worry, you are my only,
You won’t be lonely, even if the sky is falling down,
You’ll be my only, no need to worry,
Baby are you down down down down down,
Down, Down,
Baby are you down down down down down,
Down, Down,
Even if the sky is falling down,

(Lil Wayne)
Even if the sky is falling down like she supposed to be,
She gets down low for me,
Down like her temperature, ’cause to me she zero degree,
She cold, overfreeze,
I got that girl from overseas,
Now she my miss America,
now can i be her soldier please,
I’m fighting for this girl,
I’m a battlefield of love,
Don’t it look like baby cupid sent his arrows from above,
Don’t you ever leave the side of me,
Indefinitely, not probably,
and honestly im down like the economy,
Yeahhhhhh

So baby don’t worry, you are my only,
You won’t be lonely, even if the sky is falling down,
You’ll be my only, no need to worry,
Baby are you down down down down down,
Down, Down,
Baby are you down down down down down,
Down, Down,
Even if the sky is falling down

Description:

As said before in the description of Do You Remember, this song was the hit that Jay Sean made in 2009 and that put him on a good path as a musician. Some say that he's become really arrogant as he realized how this song became popular; he started to show up on shows talking about how he had conquered the musical charts in the U.S. Anyway, this song is great for it has an addictive melody and has a fun beat. It's still played today and is still maintaining its popularity.

Description:

Another great Pop song by debuting artist, Jason Derulo. I'm trying not to say that every song I post on this Blog has made a hit worldwide, but I just have to say that this one has done so too as the previous songs. I'm starting to notice that most of the songs I post are also by debuting artists. Anyway, this song is about love, like any other song. I guess the meaning is how a couple broke up and how the girl would give excuses for breaking up.

I'm Yours - Jason Mraz

I'm Yours - Jason Mraz






Lyrics:

Well, you done done me and you bet I felt it
I tried to be chill but your so hot that I melted
I fell right through the cracks, now I'm tryin to get back
before the cool done run out I'll be givin it my best test
and nothin's gonna stop me but divine intervention
I reckon it's again my turn to win some or learn some

But I won't hesitate no more,
no more, it cannot wait
I'm yours

Well open up your mind and see like me
open up your plans and damn you're free
look into your heart and you'll find love love love love
listen to the music at the moment people dance and sing
Were just one big family
And it's our godforsaken right to be loved loved loved loved loved

So, i won't hesitate no more,
no more, it cannot wait i'm sure
there's no need to complicate our time is short
this is our fate
I'm yours

Scooch on over closer, dear
And I will nibble your ear

I've been spendin' way too long checkin' my tongue in the mirror
and bendin' over backwards just to try to see it clearer
But my breath fogged up the glass
and so I drew a new face and I laughed
I guess what I'd be sayin' is there ain't no better reason
to rid yourself of vanities and just go with the seasons
it's what we aim to do
our name is our virtue

But I won't hesitate no more,
no more it cannot wait
I'm yours

well open up your mind and see like me
open up your plans and damn you're free
look into your heart and you'll find love love love love
listen to the music of the moment come and dance with me
ah, la one big family
it's your god forsaken right to be loved, loved, loved, loved

open up your mind and see like me
open up your plans and damn you're free
look into your heart and you'll find love love love love
listen to the music of the moment come and dance with me
ah, la happy family
it's our god forsaken right to be loved loved loved loved

it's our god forsaken right to be loved loved loved loved
listen to the music of the moment come and dance with me
ah, la peaceful melodies
it's you god forsaken right to be loved loved loved loved

Description:

One of the greatest songs ever to be written is I'm Yours. I don't know whether it's the melody of the song that dragged attention or the new style of singing Jason Mraz has developed. Jason Mraz is in my perspective, a revolutionary artist. He sings in a fashion that is hardly used (Country Music and Pop combined) and yet he gets the attention of millions around the world for his singing.

Falling Slowly - Glen Hansard

Falling Slowly - Glen Hansard







Lyrics:

I don't know you
But I want you
All the more for that
Words fall through me
And always fool me
And I can't react
And games that never amount
To more than they're meant
Will play themselves out

Take this sinking boat and point it home
We've still got time
Raise your hopeful voice you have a choice
You'll make it now

Falling slowly, eyes that know me
And I can't go back
Moods that take me and erase me
And I'm painted black
You have suffered enough
And warred with yourself
It's time that you won

Take this sinking boat and point it home
We've still got time
Raise your hopeful voice you had a choice
You've made it now
Falling slowly sing your melody
I'll sing along

Description:

This song is truly a beautiful song and it's an OST of the movie, Once. The artist of this song isn't well known at all, but this song seems to be phenomenal all over the world. You probably heard of this song by Youtubing or from live performances around you. I even heard this song being sung at a ball I attended recently. If you haven't heard this song, you should fall for it and start listening to it over and over again. The melody isn't that hard, so I believe it's quite easy to sing. Try singing this for your lover on Valentines Day or something!

Fall For You - Secondhand Serenade

Fall For You - Secondhand Serenade







Lyrics:

The best thing about tonight's that we're not fighting
Could it be that we have been this way before
I know you don't think that I am trying
I know you're wearing thin down to the core

But hold your breathe
Because tonight will be the night
That I will fall for you
Over again
Don't make me change my mind
Or I won't live to see another day
I swear it's true
Because a girl like you is impossible to find
You're impossible to find

This is not what I intended
I always swore to you I'd never fall apart
You always thought that I was stronger
I may have failed but I have loved you from the start

Oh, But hold your breathe
Because tonight will be the night
That I will fall for you
Over again
Don't make me change my mind
Or I won't live to see another day
I swear it's true
Because a girl like you is impossible to find
It's impossible
So breathe in so deep
Breathe me in
I'm yours to keep
And hold on to your words
Cause talk is cheap
And remember me tonight
When you're asleep

Because tonight will be the night
That I will fall for you
Over again
Don't make me change my mind
Or I won't live to see another day
I swear it's true
Because a girl like you is impossible to find

Tonight will be the night
That I will fall for you
Over again
Don't make me change my mind
Or I won't live to see another day
I swear it's true
Because a girl like you is impossible to find
You're impossible to find

Description:

This song is one of my favorite songs and it's quite gloomy with instrumentation of rock. Secondhand Serenade focuses on sad songs and love. They also are very good of applying rough instruments to very soft and subtle songs. This song is about how there's a girl to the singer that is so unique and special; she is the only one of her kind and he probably can't get over her since he knows she's one of a kind and he loves her. Check out other songs I post that are by Secondhand Serenade!

All The Right Moves - One Republic

All The Right Moves - One Republic





Lyrics:

All the right friends in all the wrong places
So yeah, we're going down
They've got all the right moves in all the right faces
So yeah, we're going down

Just paint the picture of a perfect place
They've got it better than what anyone's told you
They'll be the King of Hearts, and you're the Queen of Spades
And we'll fight for you like we were your soldiers

I know we've got it good
But they've got it made
And the grass is getting greener each day
I know things are looking up
But soon they'll take us down
before anybody's knowing our name.

They've got all the right friends in all the right places
So yeah, we're going down
We've got all the right moves and all the wrong faces
So yeah, we're going down
They said, everybody knows, everybody knows where we're going
Yeah, we're going down
They said, everybody knows, everybody knows where we're going
Yeah, we're going down

Do you think I'm special?
Do you think I'm nice?
Am I bright enough to shine in your spaces?
Between the noise you hear
And the sound you like
Are we just sinking in an ocean of faces?

It can be possible that rain can fall,
Only when it's over our heads
The sun is shining everyday, but it's far away
Over the world is death.

They've got,
They've got all the right friends in all the wrong places
So yeah, we're going down
We've got all the right moves and and all the wrong faces
So yeah, we're going down

They said, everybody knows, everybody knows where we're going
Yeah, we're going down
They said, everybody knows, everybody knows where we're going
Yeah, we're going down

It doesn't matter what you see.
I know i could never be
Someone that looks like you.
It doesn't matter what you say
I know i could never face
someone that could sound like you.

All the right friends in all the wrong places
So yeah, we're going down
We've got all the right moves and all the wrong faces
So yeah, we're going down

All the right friends in all the wrong places
So yeah, we're going down
We've got all the right moves and all the wrong faces
So yeah, we're going down

They said, everybody knows everybody knows where we're going
Yeah we're going down
They said, everybody knows everybody knows where we're going
Yeah we're going down

Yeah we're going down
Yeah we're going down

All the right moves, hey
Yeah, we're going down
All the right moves, hey
Yeah, we're going down

Description:

This song was recently released and is slowly getting attention. This song is about how the music industries have total authority over the composers; it's closely tied to One Republic's current state. In the past and now, One republic had received losses from music industries and artists. One of their hits, Apologize they were "featured" rather than being the actual composer. The credit was all given to Timbaland, for he had the claim on it. Honestly, Timbaland didn't do anything in that song; he merely grunted four times every thirty seconds! One Republic really did 99% of the song and deserved the credit for it. The group was at its debut and probably wasn't aware of their crucial mistake not making the claim. Anyway, it's a great song with great meaning to it!
