Smash Into Pieces - ❤️Afterglow❤️

 
We all fall apart
Buried deep behind the smile
We all have scars
There is truth in our lies
'Cause the shadow's never
Hiding who we are

We're stuck in a game
Of playing pretend
We're left in the ashes
Again and again

After all the smoke and mirrors
We are only saint and sinners
Waiting for Afterglow
Did we take a perfect heaven
Turn it into Armageddon
Waiting for Afterglow

Wide awake
But caught in the blind
It's like we don't see what's right in front of our eyes

We're stuck in a game
Of playing pretend
We're left in the ashes
Again and again

After all the smoke and mirrors
We are only saint and sinners
Waiting for Afterglow
Did we take a perfect heaven
Turn it into Armageddon
Waiting for Afterglow

In the Afterglow
In the Afterglow

Are we hoping for a miracle
Starting fires 'til we're burning out
Are we headed for the free fall

Are we hoping for a miracle
Starting fires 'til we're burning out
Are we headed for the free fall

After all the smoke and mirrors
We are only saint and sinners
Waiting for Afterglow
Did we take a perfect heaven
Turn it into Armageddon
Waiting for Afterglow

In the Afterglow
In the Afterglow
In the Afterglow
Waiting for Afterglow 

U2 - Song For Someone (❤️)

  

You got a face not spoiled by beauty
I have some scars from where I've been
You've got eyes that can see right through me
You're not afraid of anything they've seen

I was told that I would feel
Nothing the first time
I don't know how these cuts heal
But in you I found a rhyme

If there is a light
You can't always see
And there is a world
We can't always be
If there is a dark
That we shouldn't doubt
And there is a light
Don't let it go out

And this is a song
A song for someone
This is a song
A song for someone

You let me in to a conversation
A conversation only we could make
You break and enter my imagination
Whatever's in there it's yours to take

I was told I'd feel
Nothing the first time
You were slow to heal
But this could be the night

If there is a light
You can't always see
And there is a world
We can't always be
If there is a dark
Within and without
And there is a light
Don't let it go out

And this is a song
A song for someone
This is a song
A song for someone

And I'm a long way
From your hill of Calvary
And I'm a long way
From where I was, where I need to be

If there is a light
You can't always see
And there is a world
We can't always be
If there is a kiss
I stole from your mouth
And there is a light
Don't let it go out 

The Fray - You Found Me

  

I found God
On the corner of First and Amistad
Where the west
Was all but won
All alone
Smoking his last cigarette
I said, "Where you been?"
He said, "Ask anything"
Where were you
When everything was falling apart?
All my days
Were spent by a telephone
That never rang
And all I needed was a call
That never came
To the corner of First and Amistad

Lost and insecure
You found me, you found me
Lying on the floor
Surrounded, surrounded
Why'd you have to wait?
Where were you? Where were you?
Just a little late
You found me, you found me

In the end
Everyone ends up alone
Losing her
The only one who's ever known
Who I am
Who I'm not, and who I wanna be
No way to know
How long she will be next to me

Lost and insecure
You found me, you found me
Lying on the floor
Surrounded, surrounded
Why'd you have to wait?
Where were you? Where were you?
Just a little late
You found me, you found me

For early morning
The city breaks
And I've been calling
For years and years and years and years
And you never left me no messages
You never send me no letters
You got some kind of nerve
Taking all I want

Lost and insecure
You found me, you found me
Lying on the floor
Where were you? Where were you?
Lost and insecure
You found me, you found me
Lying on the floor
Surrounded, surrounded
Why'd you have to wait?
Where were you? Where were you?
Just a little late
You found me, you found me

Why'd you have to wait
To find me? To find me?

Nickelback - If Today Was Your Last Day

  

My best friend gave me the best advice
He said each day's a gift and not a given right
Leave no stone unturned, leave your fears behind
And try to take the path less traveled by
That first step you take is the longest stride
(What if, what if?)

If today was your last day
And tomorrow was too late
Could you say goodbye to yesterday? (What if, what if?)
Would you live each moment like your last?
Leave old pictures in the past?
Donate every dime you have?
(What if, what if?)
If today was your last day
(What if, what if?)
(If today was your last day)

Against the grain should be a way of life
What's worth the prize is always worth the fight
Every second counts 'cause there's no second try
So live like you'll never live it twice
Don't take the free ride in your own life
(What if, what if?)

If today was your last day
And tomorrow was too late
Could you say goodbye to yesterday? (What if, what if?)
Would you live each moment like your last?
Leave old pictures in the past?
Donate every dime you have? (What if, what if?)
And would you call old friends you never see?
Reminisce old memories?
Would you forgive your enemies? (What if, what if?)
Would you find that one you're dreamin' of?
Swear up and down to God above
That you finally fall in love? (That you finally fall in love)
If today was your last day

If today was your last day
Would you make your mark by mending a broken heart?
You know it's never too late to shoot for the stars
Regardless of who you are
So do whatever it takes (Takes)
'Cause you can't rewind a moment in this life
Let nothin' stand in your way (Way)
'Cause the hands of time are never on your side

If today was your last day
And tomorrow was too late
Could you say goodbye to yesterday?
Would you live each moment like your last?
Leave old pictures in the past?
Donate every dime you have? (What if, what if?)
And would you call old friends you never see?
Reminisce old memories?
Would you forgive your enemies? (What if, what if?)
Would you find that one you're dreamin' of?
Swear up and down to God above
That you finally fall in love? (What if, what if?)
If today was your last day

Eivør Pálsdóttir ft. Ásgeir Trausti Einarsson - Only Love (Upp!)

  

City lights fade into black
I watch them go
Out of my life, deep inside
I knew it from the start, I was always alone
By your side

Ooh, I heard that you, ooh
Once said, "Here's my heart
Put a bomb inside it"

On-on-on-only love
Only love can do this to you
On-on-on-only love
Only love can do this to you

Let it all go, it's for the best
There is nothing to say
Nothing except, "We were too young
And our hearts nearly burst"
But to find real love, you gotta lose it first

Ooh, I heard that you
Once said, "Here's my heart
Put a bomb inside it"

Casie Conroy - Ugh.. Lennie

  

I don't want to let you down,

But I surely don't wanna be

Anything other than what I am now,

And I say that regrettably.

 

So I'll listen for whatever you need,

Send me a feed

Through the radio

With a song we both know.

 

Don't make me go,

I will not follow.

Follow where you lead,

Don't make me love you like that.

 

In the blue light I can see all that's coming.

In the dawn you'll be ready to go.

Yeah I know, I know

Lennie, don't do it to me.

 

And the days keep going and I'll keep knowing,

In the end it's inevitable.

Yeah I know, I know

Lennie, don't do it to me.

 

Green eyes shoot ya a gaze,

Saying you could get anything,

Anything other than what you won't take,

Which has lately been everything.

 

So I'm here for whatever you want.

Send me a buzz

Through a fax machine

Just to mess with me,

Call it a fever dream.

 

Don't make me go,

I will not follow.

Follow where you lead,

Don't make me love you like that.

 

In the blue light I can see all that's coming.

In the dawn you'll be ready to go.

Yeah I know, I know

Lennie, don't do it to me.

 

And the days keep going and I'll keep knowing,

In the end it's inevitable.

Yeah I know, I know

Lennie, don't do it to me.

 

I'm a little too late,

A little too proud.

I'm maybe too good

To say it out loud.

I can't wait around

To settle on down with you.

 

And I could be wrong,

But if that's the case,

Let you be the one

Say it to my face.

I doubt it now

You'll ever come back this way.

 

Don't make me go,

I will not follow.

Follow where you lead,

Don't make me love you like that.

 

In the blue light I can see all that's coming.

In the dawn you'll be ready to go.

Yeah I know, I know

Lennie, don't do it to me.

 

And the days keep going and I'll keep knowing,

In the end it's inevitable.

Yeah I know, I know

Lennie, don't do it to me.

 

I'm a little too late,

A little too proud.

I'm maybe too good

To say it out loud.

Lennie, don't do it to me.

 

And I could be wrong,

But if that's the case,

Let you be the one

To say it to my face.

Lennie, don't do it to me.



HAEVN ft. Neco Novellas - Great Mother

  

Hiye yana mphula ya bassissa ya matilo ni mate
Hiye yana mphula ya bassissa yo mbilo yango

There's a fire on the horizon
I can't put it out
Do I walk away or fight it
I can't turn around
I've been seeking higher healing from above
Do I need to hide this feeling I don't know

Khanina mino wo sela
Khauna weno yako tsandza mbilo
Khauna weno wo sela
Yako tsana ye wene

I'm waiting up for the rain tonight
To wash away my sorrow
Hear a voice from the other side
What great mother has to tell

I'll give myself to the rain tonight
'Cause we just can't always blossom
Waking up in peace I'll find
That summer turns to fall
Great mother knows it all

Hiye yana mphula ya bassissa ya matilo ni mate
(Great mother knows it all)
Hiye yana mphula ya bassissa yo mbilo yango

I can't hear you in the silence
Are you with me now?
In a sea of broken diamonds
Can you get me out?

Khanina mino wo sela
Khauna weno yako tsandza mbilo
Khauna weno wo sela
Yako tsana ye wene

I'm waiting up for the rain tonight
To wash away my sorrow
Hear a voice from the other side
What great mother has to tell

I'll give myself to the rain tonight
'Cause we just can't always blossom
Waking up in peace I'll find
That summer turns to fall
Great mother knows it all

Hiye yana mphula ya bassissa ya matilo ni mate
(Great mother knows it all)
Hiye yana mphula ya bassissa yo mbilo yango
(Great mother knows it all)
Hiye yana mphula ya bassissa yo mbilo yango
Hiye yana mphula ya bassissa yo mbilo...

I'm waiting up for the rain tonight
To wash away my sorrow
Hear a voice from the other side
What great mother has to tell
Great mother knows it all

Greta Van Fleet - Saw You Stand

  

Anyone who ever loved could look at me
And know that I loved you
What a heart and what a beat, remembering
How much I loved you

I hope that you'll always know
Life with you made me whole

I saw you stand
I saw you standing
When you took my hand
I saw you standing

In the end, I hope you know that I chose you
Because I loved you
And after all is said and done, the war is won
Because I loved you

I hope that you'll always know
Life with you made me whole

I saw you stand
I saw you standing
When you took my hand
I saw you standing

I hope that you'll always know
Your light made the darkness glow
I pray you'll forever know
Loving you made me whole

I hope that you'll always know
Life with you made me whole

The Cure - Pictures Of You (Up!)

 

I've been looking so long at these pictures of you
That I almost believe that they're real
I've been living so long with my pictures of you
That I almost believe that the pictures
Are all I can feel

Remembering you standing quiet in the rain
As I ran to your heart to be near
And we kissed as the sky fell in
Holding you close
How I always held close in your fear
Remembering you running soft through the night
You were bigger and brighter and whiter than snow
And screamed at the make-believe
Screamed at the sky

And you finally found all your courage to let it all go

Remembering you fallen into my arms
Crying for the death of your heart
You were stone white, so delicate
Lost in the cold
You were always so lost in the dark
Remembering you, how you used to be
Slow drowned, you were angels
So much more than everything
Hold for the last time then slip away quietly
Open my eyes, but I never see anything
If only I'd thought of the right words
I could have held on to your heart
If only I'd thought of the right words

I wouldn't be breaking apart
All my pictures of you

Looking so long at these pictures of you
But I never hold on to your heart

Looking so long for the words to be true
But always just breaking apart
My pictures of you

There was nothing in the world
That I ever wanted more
Than to feel you deep in my heart
There was nothing in the world
That I ever wanted more
Than to never feel the breaking apart
My pictures of you



Joy Division - Love Will Tear Us Apart

  

When routine bites hard and ambitions are low
And resentment rides high but emotions won't grow
And we're changing our ways, taking different roads
Love, love will tear us apart again
Love, love will tear us apart again

Why is the bedroom so cold turned away on your side?
Is my timing that flawed, our respect run so dry?
Yet there's still this appeal that we've kept through our lives
Love, love will tear us apart again
Love, love will tear us apart again

Do you cry out in your sleep, all my failings exposed?
Get a taste in my mouth as desperation takes hold
Is it something so good just can't function no more?

But love, love will tear us apart again
Love, love will tear us apart again
Love, love will tear us apart again
Love, love will tear us apart again


 

Dogstar - Joy

  

I'll see you on the other side of midnight
Where the answer's never quite so clear
Even I didn't know that I was leaving
But I was gone when my foot hit the floor

And if I flew through the open door
It's only 'cause I knew it was time to go
The wreckage that remains is just a dream
But it still lives inside of me

Yeah, you thought that we had something so good
Every morning, you would hold my head
Now and then, I think I'm going under
When the ghosts come home


Yelawolf ft. Eminem - Best Friend (Again & Again)

  

Ain't never been much of the church type
But I believe in the last days
I walk through Hell almost every night
But I believe it's a pathway
Say boy, what you doin' with your life
With those tattoos on your face?
Say boy, you know that you'll pay the price
Well, I guess I'll see when I head that way

To the father son and holy spirit
I hold you nearest
My best friend, best friend
Let the trumpets blow with your appearance
I can almost hear it
My best friend, best friend
When you wish me Hell upon my soul and spirit
Behold these lyrics
I got a best friend, best friend
Yeah, I got a best friend, best friend, yeah

I don't know much about Holy Bibles
But I grew up in the Bible Belt
I put my love for a woman on idle
Because I got beat with my mama's belt
But I learned from my mistakes
Try hard to respect people for what they believing in
But if you spit on my fucking grave
And wish me Hell then I wish you well
I'mma send you straight up to my best friend

God, please could you arm me with the armor
To calm me when there's drama like Gandhi
Could have gone the other way many times
Could have turned Dalai with the lama
But I squashed my beefs and things seem to be looking decent recently,
But don't jinx it
It's like Clint Eastwood looking for peace
Though maybe not finna enta' the priesthood,
But at least should make an attempt to show some remorse
And to be some sorta repenter
For the people I've been a menace ta'
Not a preacher, but a shit starter and finisher
Enta' the mind of a thick skinned, but a short temper
This patience of mine is thinner
Than twine is when I get attacked
So I might say something back that might offend you
So if you don't like when I rap
Or what I have to say on the mic then you
Might wanna act just like quarterbacks
And take a fuckin' hike when I snap cause I'm a sinner
(I got a best friend, best friend)
Plus balls and intestines
And they never been yes men
They gon' tell me when I'm fuckin' up
The minute I'm ever giving it less than
I'm about to vomit and I can feel it coming
Cause failure's something I can barely stomach
And I only listen to my guts
So unless you're my fuckin' belly button
Don't tell me nothin'
You ain't my (best friend, best friend)
Who you think I'm talking 'bout?
Lifts me up when I'm down and out
Still look to him without a doubt
Still got a (best friend, best friend)
Shout it out like there's never been a louder mouth
Should have never been allowed a mouth
Now that I got a higher power
Now when I black out power outage
They powerless, but they crowd around
They tend to flock like shepherds the black sheep
But I'll be the worst thing that these motherfuckers ever herd
When I'm counted out
You be D.O.A., they'll announce
But pronounce you dead when they sound it out
So prepare for a rival with your arch enemy
Surrounds you now
He's all around you
Not even the doctor's at the hospital
Are gonna shigy-shock you back to life
It's in piggy possible to revive you
That's word to the digy doc
Stigy stopping is not an option
Something I'm not gonna do
I'm the Iggy Pop of hip-hop when I walk in the booth
Dawg, I'm the truth like Biggie rockin' with Tupac in the suit
Talking to Proof dropping a deuce
Fill up a syllable clip like a re-fillable script, cock it and shoot
And who do you think's my Glock that I use
That I pull from to get my strength up against these haters
And he'll be waiting at the gate
When you get sprayed up, sending you hoes straight up
To deal with my (best friend, best friend) 

Maná - Oye Mi Amor

  

No sabes cómo te deseo
No sabes cómo te he soñado
Si tú supieras que me muero
Por tu amor y por tus labios
Si tú supieras que soy sincero
Y yo soy derecho y no te fallo
Si tú supieras lo que te quiero
Podría darte todo hasta mis ojos, hey

Pero tú ya tienes otro
Un tipo frío y aburrido
Un tonto que es un reprimido
Eso no te pega a ti, no te va

Oye, mi amor, no me digas que no
Y vamos juntando las almas
Oye, mi amor, no me digas que no
Y vamos juntando los cuerpos

Conmigo tú alucinarías (Cómo no)
Conmigo tú hasta el fin del mundo
Contigo yo me perdería
Contigo yo quiero todo y nada a medias

Pero tú ya tienes otro
Un tipo frío y aburrido
Un tonto que es un reprimido
Eso no te pega a ti, no te va

Oye, mi amor, no me digas que no
Y vamos juntando las almas
Oye, mi amor, no me digas que no
Y vamos juntando los cuerpos
Oye, mi amor, no me digas que no
Y vamos juntando las almas
Oye, mi amor, no me digas que no
Y vamos juntando los cuerpos

Yo, yo, yo, yo
Yo, yo, yo, yo

Teddy Swims - Apple Juice

 
I'm still putting booze in my apple juice
I got no excuse, I'm sad, I'm sad
Don't make me choose 'cause it won't be you
I got no excuse, I'm bad, I'm bad
Ask anyone who knows me
Tell me not to, and I only do it again and again times ten
So, who the hell are you to tell me what to do?
Tell me what to do
Mmm-mmm

Girl, you knew this when you met me, yeah
Why would things be different now? Oh
Why they kick me out?
Pourin' Welches in my Henny, mmm
Mix it up, knock it down, oh
Throw it down, yeah

Slowin' down ain't on my list
Built a fire from out the sticks
Button collar never fit, never fit, no
Might be a degenerate
That ain't your problem to fix
Always gets me where I need to get, yeah

I'm still putting booze in my apple juice
I got no excuse, I'm sad, I'm sad
Don't make me choose 'cause it won't be you
I got no excuse, I'm bad, I'm bad
Ask anyone who knows me
Tell me not to, and I only do it again and again times ten
So, who the hell are you to tell me what to do, baby?
Tell me what to do
Yeah

Don't you worry, Mama's praying, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
So I'm never too far gone
Never too far gone
Let you know if I need saving, baby
Pour another one
Till then, I'm pouring another one

I'm sipping whatever, smoking my Reds
I did what I did, I'll do it again
I'll say, "Sorry," when I finally am, but

I'm still putting booze in my apple juice
I got no excuse, I'm sad, I'm sad
Girl, you just gon' lose, tryna make me choose
I got no excuse, I'm bad, I'm bad
Ask anyone who knows me
Tell me not to, and I only do it again and again times ten
So, who the hell are you to tell me what to do? Oh
Tell me what to do
Oh, ooh, ooh, yeah

Who the hell are you?
Ooh, ooh, ooh
To tell me what to do?

Kenny Loggins - Meet Me Halfway (Up!)

 
In a lifetime
Made of memories
I believe
In destiny

Every moment returns again in time
When I've got the future on my mind
Know that you'll be the only one

Meet me halfway
Across the sky
Out where the world belongs
To only you and I

Meet me halfway
Across the sky
Make this a new beginning of another life.

In a lifetime
There is only love
Reaching for the lonely one

We are stronger when we are given love
When we put emotions on the line
Know that we are the timeless ones

Meet me halfway
Across the sky
Out where the world belongs
To only you and I

Meet me halfway
Across the sky
Make this a new beginning of another life.

Meet me halfway
Across the sky
Out where the world belongs
To only you and I

Meet me halfway
Across the sky
Make this a new beginning of another life.

Ásgeir - Skýjaborg (Upp!)

  

Dagur kveður í kvöldsins mildu ró
Líkt og krafturinn sem í brjósti þínu bjó
Eintóm urð og grjót
Allt er uppí mót

Gengur stræti og torg með skugga á eftir þér
Upp í skýjaborg sem í raun og veru er
Ekki lengur til
Löngu búIð spil

Teygir þig í himininn
Sem horfinn er í óveðurský
Veröldin öfugsnúin
Muntu einhverntíman finna útúr því?

Lestin farin er út af sporinu
Engist andvaka, skotgrafir í höfðinu
Draugar alls staðar
Ég hef verið þar

Teygir þig í himininn
Sem horfinn er í óveðurský
Veröldin öfugsnúin
Muntu einhverntíman finna útúr því?

Walk Off The Earth - Somebody I Used To Know (Gotye cover, up!)

  

Now and then I think of when we were together
Like when you said you felt so happy you could die
Told myself that you were right for me
But felt so lonely in your company
But that was love and it's an ache I still remember

You can get addicted to a certain kind of sadness
Like resignation to the end, always the end
So when we found that we could not make sense
Well you said that we would still be friends
But I'll admit that I was glad that it was over

But you didn't have to cut me off
Make out like it never happened and that we were nothing
And I don't even need your love
But you treat me like a stranger and that feels so rough
No you didn't have to stoop so low
Have your friends collect your records and then change your number
I guess that I don't need that though
Now you're just somebody that I used to know

Now you're just somebody that I used to know
Now you're just somebody that I used to know

Now and then I think of all the times you screwed me over
But had me believing it was always something that I'd done
And I don't wanna live that way
Reading into every word you say
You said that you could let it go
And I wouldn't catch you hung up on somebody that you used to know

But you didn't have to cut me off
Make out like it never happened and that we were nothing
And I don't even need your love
But you treat me like a stranger and that feels so rough
No you didn't have to stoop so low
Have your friends collect your records and then change your number
I guess that I don't need that though
Now you're just somebody that I used to know

Somebody
(I used to know)
Now you're just somebody that I used to know (That I used to know)
Somebody
(I used to know)
Now you're just somebody that I used to know (That I used to know)
(I used to know)
(That I used to know)
(I used to know)
Somebody 


HAEVN - Hold On To Your Love

 

Close your eyes and hold your breath
Face the oceans' deep
The weight of darkness underneath
Let the silence speak

Rise, don't hold back
Rise, don't hold back

Hold on to your love
Go and find your true self
Mend your broken parts
You don't need nobody else
Keep your sacred heart

Armour shaped around your heart
Buried out of need
Sense your true voice underneath
Let your soul unleash

Hold on to your love
Go and find your true self
Mend your broken parts
You don't need nobody else
Keep your sacred heart

Don't be aimless
Don't be mad, don't you leave it all unsaid
Don't be faithless
And understand that the world is in your head
That the world is in your head

Hold on to your love
Hold on to your love

Hold on to your love
Go and find your true self
Mend your broken parts
You don't need nobody else

Hold on to your love
Go and find your true self
Mend your broken parts
You don't need nobody else
Keep your sacred heart
