Bríet - Djúp Sár Gróa Hægt

 

Manstu fyrst flugtakið,
manstu fyrsta snertingin,
kossinn uppi‘ á þaki,
nóttin horfði grafkyrr.

Manstu þunga sorgin,
Manstu‘ öll ljótu orðin,
ég meinti ekkert af því,
ég var týnd og alein.

Hvort stingur meira að
halda‘ í það sem var
eða kveðja og sleppa,
spyr en hef ekker svar.

Tvö þúsund tár
sem ég valdi sjálf,
ég gekk í burt
þegar við þurftum hjálp.
Reyni‘ að segja sjálfri mér
við hefðum ekkert geta gert
en það eina sem ég á eftir er minningin og sektarkennd
og djúp sár sem að gróa hægt.

Endalausar hugsanir,
hvað var það sem truflaði?
Get ég farið til baka?
Ný orð og önnur saga.

En hvað myndi breytast ef
að ég tæki mig til og ég sneri aftur við?
Spyr en hef ekkert svar.

Tvö þúsund tár
sem ég valdi sjálf,
ég gekk í burt
þegar við þurftum hjálp.
Reyni‘ að segja sjálfri mér
við hefðum ekkert geta gert
en það eina sem ég á eftir er minningin og sektarkennd
og djúp sár sem að gróa hægt.

Ásgeir ft. Bríet - Dýrð í Dauðaþögn

 

Tak mína hönd
lítum um öxl, leysum bönd
Frá myrkri martröð sem draugar vagg’ og velta
lengra, lægra, oft vilja daginn svelta

Stór, agnarögn
oft er dýrð í dauðaþögn
Í miðjum draumi sem heitum höndum vefur
lengra, hærra á loft nýjan dag upphefur

Finnum hvernig hugur fer
frammúr sjálfum sér
Og allt sem verður, sem var og sem er
núna

Knúið á dyr
og uppá gátt sem aldrei fyrr
Úr veruleika sem vissa ver og klæðir
svengra, nær jafnoft dýrðardaginn fæðir


 


Espoir déçu

 

Les familles, l'été venu, se dirigent vers la mer en y emmenant leurs enfants, dans l'espoir, souvent déçu, de noyer les plus laids.

Alphonse Allais


Black Label Society - In This River Live (Up!)

 
I've been around this world
Yet I see no end
All shall fade to black again and again
This storm that's broken me
My only friend

In this river all shall fade to black
In this river ain't no coming back
In this river all shall fade to black
Ain't no coming back

Withdrawn I step away
Just to find myself
The door is closed again
The only one left
This storm that's broken me
My only friend

In this river all shall fade to black
In this river ain't no coming back
In this river all shall fade to black
Ain't no coming back

In this river all shall fade to black
In this river ain't no coming back
In this river all shall fade to black
Ain't no coming back

In this river all shall fade to black
In this river ain't no coming back
In this river all shall fade to black
Ain't no coming back

In this river all shall fade to black
In this river ain't no coming back
In this river all shall fade to black
Ain't no coming back 



David Gilmour ft. Romany Gilmour - Between Two Points

 
Broke an early promise
Put trust in an unknown
Fell headlong into the arms
Of the first that stirred me

Unsteadied a steady heart
And took me to a place I've never been
A place I've never been since

Stopped hoping at an early age
Stopped guessing at an early age
Start accepting things from day one
And then things can't go too wrong

Just let them walk all over you
Laugh through the punches and the pain
Let the life-blood drain away from you
They're right, you're wrong

And you can see it in the way they look at you
Feel it in the way they treat you
Always the last to know
Always the first to leave

And when the sky begins to fall
The blame - all along in you - is yours
Wakes you with a fever at five
Your guardian angel gives up the ghost

And you can see it in the way they look at you
Feel it in the way they treat you
Always the last to know
Always the first to leave

Just let them walk all over you
Laugh through the punches and the pain
Let the life-blood drain away from you
They're right, you're wrong 

 

Ray Wilson ft. Marika Wilson - Voices

 
 
When I close my eyes I hear your voices
Whispering and touching at my soul
Inspiration coming from your voices
Many things that I would never know

It became much more than simply choices
Trust in something greater than myself
Peace is only earned by taking chances
Find a way to be somebody else

Saving us from being lonely
Feeling love, is the only way
 
When I close my eyes I hear your voices
Whispering and touching at my soul
Inspiration coming from your voices
Many things that I would never know

It became much more than simply choices
Trust in something greater than myself
Peace is only earned by taking chances
Find a way to be somebody else

Saving us from being lonely

Martika - Love...Thy Will Be Done

 
Love... Thy will be done
I can no longer hide, I can no longer run
No longer can I resist Your guiding light
That gives me the power to keep up the fight

Oh Lord, Love... Thy will be done
Since I have found U, my life has just begun
And I see all of Your creations as one perfect complex
No one less beautiful or more special than the next
We are all blessed and so wise to accept
Thy will, Love, be done

Love... Thy will be mine
And make me strive for the glorious and divine
I could not be more, more satisfied (Satisfied)
Even when there's no peace outside my window, there's peace inside
And that why I no longer run (I no longer run)
Love... Thy will be done

Love... Thy will be done
I can no longer hide, I can no longer run
Oh Love... Thy will be done
Thy will, Love, be done

Oh, no longer can I resist (No)
The guiding light (Guiding light)
The light that gives me power to keep up the fight
I couldn't be more satisfied (No)
Even when there's no peace outside my window, there is peace inside
And that's why I can no longer run
Love, thy will be done
Love, thy will be done
Love, thy will be done
Oh!

Love... Thy will be done
I can no longer hide, I can no longer run
Oh Love... Thy will be done
Thy will, Love, be done

Oh Love... Thy will be done
I can no longer hide, I can no longer run
Oh Love... Thy will be done (Sing it)
Thy will, Love, be done (Glory, glory, glory)
Thy will, Love, be done (Glory)
Thy will, Love, be done

The Midnight - Sunset (Endless Summer)

 
I just feel like I've been stuck here my whole life
There must be something else out there, waiting, you know? Just for us
We could run away
Just leave... Never look back
I don't even care where we go
Just far away from here
I'll come with you

Faked our deaths
Lit a match
Closed the door
Waited for the flash
Greyhound Station, we paid in cash
Miss Lazarus, we’re coming back

They say it's darkest before the dawn
We've been in this town for far too long
They say it's darkest before the dawn
We're moving on, we're moving on, we're moving on

Sunsets, no regrets
First chance last dance
Stuck in the middle
Even bad girls know good love
You taste so sweet it hurts a little

Make our home where we stand
One suitcase
And half a plan
Follow the words
And sing along
Past the voices
To the song

They say it's darkest before the dawn
We've been in this town for far too long
They say it's darkest before the dawn
We're moving on, we're moving on, we're moving on

Sunsets, no regrets
First chance last dance
Stuck in the middle
Even bad girls know good love
You taste so sweet it hurts a little

Sunsets, no regrets
First chance last dance
Stuck in the middle
Even bad girls know good love
You taste so sweet it hurts a little

State Of Mine - It's Been Awhile (Staind cover)

 
And it's been a while since I could hold my head up high
And it's been a while since I first saw you (since I first saw you)
And it's been a while since I could stand on my own two feet again
And it's been a while since I could call you (since I could call you)

And everything I can't remember
As fucked up as it all may seem
The consequences that are rendered
I've stretched myself beyond my means

And it's been a while since I could say that I wasn't addicted and
And it's been a while since I could say I love myself as well and
And it's been a while since I've gone and fucked things up just like I always do
And it's been a while but all that shit seems to disappear when I'm with you

And everything I can't remember
As fucked up as it all may seem
The consequences that are rendered
I've gone and fucked things up again, again

Why must I feel this way?
Just make this go away
Just one more peaceful day

And it's been a while since I could look at myself straight
And it's been a while since I said I'm sorry
And it's been a while since I've seen the way the candles light your face
And it's been a while but I can still remember just the way you taste

And everything I can't remember
As fucked up as it all may seem to be, I know it's me
I cannot blame this on my father
He did the best he could for me

And it's been a while since I could hold my head up high
And it's been a while since I said I'm sorry 

 

The Cure - I Can Never Say Goodbye

 
Thunder rolling into drown
November moon in cold black rain
As lightning splits the sky apart
I'm whispering his name

He has to wake up
Love slipping away
Hear the bells beyond the sea
It's almost too late

Shadows growing closer now
And there is nowhere left to hide
And I can't break this dreamless sleep
However hard I try

I'm down on my knees
And empty inside
Something wicked this way comes
On that cruel November night
Something wicked this way comes
To steal away my brother's life
Something wicked this way comes
I can never say goodbye

Something wicked this way comes
From out that cruel and treacherous night
Something wicked this way comes
To steal away my brother's life
Something wicked this way comes
I can never say goodbye 



 

Cocteau Twins - Oil Of Angels

 
First, he's inched her latch down
Anxious, her hand begs, and now my distraction
Distraction
I will learn, To focus on
Oh, you hoo hoo..., Cause you won't

Recognize it, stablize it
Things take-take me
To exception look for respect
Respect
Down- down there
You're not a nice track footfall
Round
Will we still hold, rain
Things we couldn't do
Strive, for me to leave
Rights of her, Rights
Treasure her, treasure
Her freshness
First
He's inched her latch down
Anxious
Oh, her hand begs
And my distraction
Distraction
I will learn to, I will learn
Focus on you, to focus on
You hoo hoo...
Cause you won't

Recognize it, recognize
Stablize it, stablize it
He even finds a way
Supreme, man improves
Lkie what might see
Her life for everyone
Will it still hold
Rain
Things we couldn't do
Strive
For me to give
Rights of her
Rights
Treasure her
Treasure
Her freshness
I will learn
To focus on you
You hoo hoo...
Cause you won't

Wayne's World 2 - Kung Fu Fight Scene

 
 
    Cassandra: Wayne, we're here!
 
    Wayne: Here, let me get the gate for you - hold on. All righty. Come one in, come on in! Nice digs, huh? 
  
Hey, Cassandra, you look hot! 😍
 
Sorry!... 😁

    Cassandra: Ah, Wayne, I would like you to meet my father, Mr. Wong.

    Jeff Wong: Please meet you acquaintance, Wayne Campbell.

    Wayne: 請允許我說您的母語,黃先生。

(Allow me to speak your native tongue, Mr. Wong.)

    Jeff Wong: 您的廣東話說得很好,但請叫我 Jeff

 (You speak Cantonese very well, but please, call me Jeff.)

    Wayne: 很好... Jeff

 (Very well... Jeff.)

    Jeff Wong: 韋恩,我就直說了。我不希望我的女兒和一個生活沒有方向的人扯上關係。

 (Wayne, I will be blunt. I do not want my daughter involved with a man whose life has no direction.)

    Cassandra: 父親,請...

(Father, please...)

    Jeff Wong: 安靜。成人講話。

(Quiet. Adult speaking.)

    Wayne: 恕我直言,Jeff,在我們的文化中,婦女可以自己做決定。

(With all due respect, Jeff, in our culture, women are allowed to make their own decisions.)

    Jeff Wong: 你竟敢用這種無禮的口氣跟我說話 你讓我別無選擇,只能和你戰鬥

(How dare you speak to me in such an insolent tone! You have left me no choice but to fight you.)

    Wayne: 如果我們要打架,我想最好是配音而不是字幕。

 (If we are to fight, I think it would better if we were dubbed and not in subtitles.)

    Jeff Wong: Very well. If that is your custom... prepare to die!




 


Gary Go - Wonderful

 
The person that you were has died
You've lost the sparkle in your eyes
You fell for life - into its traps
Now you wanna bridge the gaps
Now you wanna bridge the gaps
Now you want that person back

And all your amunition's gone
Run out of fuel to carry on
You don't know what you wanna do
Cause what you want does not want you
If what you want does not want you
You've got no pull to pull you through

Say "I am"
Say "I am"
Say "I am wonderful"

Say "I am"
Say "I am"
Say "I am wonderful"

If what you've lost cannot be found
And the weight of the world weighs you down
No longer with the will to fly
You stop to let it pass you by
Don't stop to let it pass you by
You've gotta look yourself in the eye

Say "I am"
Say "I am"
Say "I am wonderful"
Oh you are

Say "I am"
Say "I am"
Say "I am wonderful"

Cause we are all miracles
Wrapped up in chemicals
We are incredible
Don't take it for granted, no
We are all miracles
Oh we are

Say "I am"
Say "I am"
Say "I am wonderful"
Oh you are

Don't take it for granted, no
We are all miracles
Wrapped up, yeah we're wrapped up
Oh we are wonderful
