Killing Joke - Twilight Of The Mortal (Up!)

 

The days I wonder, the nights I ponder, and time is running out.
I saw restrictions of mortal lifespan, and hurled the lance beyond.

The stone that's bleeding, the rock that's breathing, the war that's in our blood.
Rapid formations, and celebrations, my Universe shall march.

Through love of a labor, one law to follow, until the day is done
We take our places amongst the mortals, but soon the day is done.

Denez Prigent - An Hini A Garan (Again & Again)

 

An hini a garan, gwechall bihan er gêr
Pa oamp tostig an eil, an eil ouzh egile
Va c'halon ne gare, gare nemet unan
Pa oan bihan er gêr an hini a garan

An hini a garan, 'm eus kollet da viken
'Mañ degouezhet pell ha ne zistroio ken
Ha setu ma kanan, kanan keti ketañ
Ha setu ma kanan d'an hini a garan

An hini a garan, un deiz 'n eus va losket
Aet eo d'ar broioù pell, d'ur vro n'an'vezan ket
Aet eo d'ar broioù pell da c'hounit e vara 

 Kollet, kollet un deiz, an hini a garan

Yelawolf ft. Eminem - Best Friend (Up!)

 

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) 

 

Machine Gun Kelly, X Ambassadors & Bebe Rexha - Home (❤️)

 

Home
A place where I can go
To take this off my shoulders
Someone take me home
Home
A place where I can go
(To take this off my shoulders)
(Someone take me home)
(Someone take me)

Look, I didn't power through the struggle
Just to let a little trouble, knock me out of my position
And interrupt the vision
After everything I witnessed, after all of these decisions
All these miles, feet, inches
They can't add up to the distance
That I have been through, just to get to
A place where even if there's no closure, I'm still safe
I still ache from trying to keep pace
Somebody give me a sign, I'm starting to lose faith

Now tell me: how did all my dreams turn to nightmares?
How did I lose it when I was right there?
Now I'm so far that it feels like it's all gone to pieces
Tell me why the world never fights fair
I'm trying to find

Home
A place where I can go
To take this off my shoulders
Someone take me home
Home
(A place where I can go)
(To take this off my shoulders)
(Someone take me home)
{It's been a long time coming}
(Someone take me)

Home, ho-o-o-o-me
Home, home
Someone take me
Home, ho-o-o-o-me
Home, home

Look, I've been through so much pain
And it's hard to maintain, any smile on my face
'Cause there's madness on my brain
So I gotta make it back, but my home ain't on the map
Gotta follow what I'm feeling to discover where it's at
I need the (memory)
In case this fate is forever, just to be sure these last days are better
And if I have any (enemies)
To give me the strength to look the devil in the face and make it home safe

Now tell me: how did all my dreams turn to nightmares?
How did I lose it when I was right there?
Now I'm so far that it feels like it's all gone to pieces
Tell me why the world never fights fair
I'm trying to find

Home
(A place where I can go)
(To take this off my shoulders)
Someone take me home
Someone take me

I found no cure for the loneliness
I found no cure for the sickness
Nothing here feels like home
Crowded streets, but I'm all alone
(I found no cure for the loneliness)
(I found no cure for the sickness)
Nothing here feels like home
Crowded streets, but I'm all alone

(Someone take me)
Home, ho-o-o-o-me
Take me home
Home, home (take me home)
Someone take me
Home, ho-o-o-o-me (someone, someone)
Nothing here feels like home
Home, home
(Someone take me) 

 

Zac Brown & Sir Rosevelt - It Goes On (Up!)

 

When your heart's on the edge
Barely hanging on like a midnight cigarette
When the nights don't seem to end
And that lonely wind is singing you to sleep once again

I won't make a promise I can't keep
Like a river flows to the ocean deep

It goes on and on
Bound to forever
Even when we're gone
It goes on and on
We'll be together
At the rising of the dawn
It goes on

When your mind's on the loose
Slowly wearing out like a faded old tattoo
When the days all look the same
When that lonely wind keeps singing only you can ease the pain

That's the kind of bond that you can't break
Like looking up at all the stars in space

It goes on and on
Bound to forever
Even when we're gone
It goes on and on
We'll be together
At the rising of the dawn
It goes on

Digging through the sands of time to find my way back home
Your memory's the thing that keeps me hanging on
To know I'm not alone, we're stronger than the bonds of blood
Even on the darkest days together through the valley of the gun

It goes on and on
Bound to forever
Even when we're gone
It goes on and on and on
We'll be together
At the rising of the dawn
We'll be together
At the rising of the dawn 

 

Gareth - You Found Me (The Fray cover)

 

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? 

 

Merrick Winter & Molly Parden - One For Sorrow (Two For Joy)

 

Good morning, Mr Magpie

Has something else caught your eye?

Shining auburn and temperate gold

What was bought must be sold

 

So fly between the rafters

And make your nest somewhere up high

And lie beside your treasures

Somewhere that you're out of sight

 

So have one for sorrow and two for joy

I was one of your favorite toys

String me up like a jewel on a chain

And wear me down till I'm smooth from the shame

 

You stole me by the ounces

The little things that I wouldn't miss

Till I was bare and helpless

But lighter than I've ever been

 

Well, I really should salute you

Seems nothing can pollute you

And bad luck you're not my enemy

So you can have my memories

 

So good morning, Mr Magpie

I hope that you're doing well

And in case you ever wondered

All that you took was my shell

 

Something shiny on the outside

And underneath my living hell

And an echo of the ocean

Hold it up, hear the swell

 

So have one for sorrow, two for joy

Now you have all your favorite toys

One for sorrow, two for joy

I was one of your favorite toys

 

You can sample whatever you like

Peck my heart out not even for spite

Владимир Высоцкий - Банька По-Белому

 

Протопи ты мне баньку по-белому,
Я от белого свету отвык,
Угорю я — и мне, угорелому,
Пар горячий развяжет язык.

Протопи, протопи, протопи ты мне баньку, хозяюшка,
Раскалю я себя, распалю,
На полоке, у самого краюшка,
Я сомненья в себе истреблю.

Разомлею я до неприличности,
Ковш холодный — и всё позади,
И наколка времён культа личности
Засинеет на левой груди.

Протопи, протопи, протопи ты мне баньку по-белому,
Я от белого свету отвык,
Угорю я — и мне, угорелому,
Пар горячий развяжет язык.

Сколько веры и лесу повалено,
Сколь изведано горя и трасс!
А на левой груди — профиль Сталина,
А на правой — Маринка анфас.

Эх, за веру мою беззаветную
Сколько лет отдыхал я в раю!
Променял я на жизнь беспросветную
Несусветную глупость мою.

Протопи, протопи, протопи ты мне баньку по-белому,
Чтоб я к белому свету привык,
Угорю я — и мне, угорелому,
Пар горячий развяжет язык.

Вспоминаю, как утречком раненько
Брату крикнуть успел: «Пособи!» —
И меня два красивых охранника
Повезли из Сибири в Сибирь.

А потом, на карьере ли, в топи ли
Наглотавшись слезы и сырца,
Ближе к сердцу кололи мы профили,
Чтоб он слышал, как рвутся сердца.

Не топи, не топи, не топи ты мне баньку по-белому —
Я от белого свету отвык,
Угорю я — и мне, угорелому,
Пар горячий развяжет язык.

Ох, знобит! От рассказа не тошно вам?
Пар мне мысли прогнал от ума.
Из тумана холодного прошлого
Окунаюсь в горячий туман.

Застучали мне мысли под темечком:
Получилось, я зря им клеймён.
И хлещу я берёзовым веничком
По наследию мрачных времён.

Протопи, не топи, протопи ты мне баньку по-белому,
Я от белого свету отвык,
Угорю я — и мне, угорелому,
Пар горячий, ковш холодный развяжет язык.
Протопи!…
Не топи!..
Протопи!.. 

 

Борис Гребенщиков - Крестовый Поход Птиц (Вверх!)

 

Крестовый поход птиц
Начался в чистый четверг
Едва уловимая рябь
Вдоль крыш
По слову пернатых святых
Проникновение вверх
Радость моя
Ты все равно спишь

Долго мы жили впотьмах
И там был потерян ключ
И нас замела круговерть
Сентября
И когда уже нечего ждать
Зеленый луч
Радость моя
Я знал, что не зря

Скажи мне как нам петь тебя
И когда меркнет свет
Пересвети
Зажги мне руки, чтобы я мог взять
Это небо как нож
И вырезать нас из сети
Вырезать нас из сети

Слово становится плоть
Плоть становится пыль
И губы сжигает страх
Пустоты
И в зареве летних звезд
В конце тропы
Господи мой
Кто если не Ты

Скажи мне как нам петь тебя
И когда меркнет свет
Пересвети
Зажги мне руки, чтобы я мог взять
Это небо как нож
И вырезать нас из сети
Выразать нас из сети
Вырезать нас из сети
Вывести нас из сети

Борис Гребенщиков - Death of King Arthur (Again & Again)

 

Of Lancelot du Lake
Tell i no more
But this by leave
These ermytes seven.

And still Kynge Arthur
Lieth there, and Quene Guenever,
As I you newyn.
And Monkes
That are right of lore
Who synge with moulded stewyn
Ihesu, who hath woundes sore,
Grant us the blyss of Heaven.

Sting - Island Of Souls

 

Billy was born within sight of the shipyard
First son of a riveter's son
And Billy was raised as the ship grew a shadow
Her great hull would blot out the light of the sun

And six days a week he would watch his poor father
A working man live like a slave
He'd drink every night and he'd dream of a future
Of money he never would save
And Billy would cry when he thought of the future

Soon came a day when the bottle was broken
They launched the great ship out to sea
He felt he'd been left on a desolate shore
To a future he desperately wanted to flee
What else was there for a shipbuilder's son
A new ship to be built, new work to be done

One day he dreamed of the ship in the world
It would carry his father and he
To a place they would never be found
To a place far away from this town

Trapped in the cage of the skeleton ship
All the workmen suspended like flies
Caught in the flare of acetylene light
A working man works till the industry dies
And Billy would cry when he thought of the future

Then what they call an industrial accident
Crushed those it couldn't forgive
They brought Billy's father back home in an ambulance
A brass watch, a cheque, maybe three weeks to live
And what else was there for a riveter's son
A new ship to be built, new work to be done

That night, he dreamed of the ship in the world
It would carry his father and he
To a place they could never be found
To a place far away from this town
A Newcastle ship without coals
They would sail to the island of souls 

 

HAEVN - Get Up

 

Step out, from the haze
The night is closing in
And the cold is on your skin

Treelines, they sway
When your voice is barely heard
And your vision starts to blur
Sometimes you've got to break, to fully rise again

Get up, it's all right
Get up, it's safe
We're on a journey
Where nothing ever stays the same
Get up, it's all right
Get up, it's safe
We're in the valley
With every step you take, I'll stay

Look back
On your days
When the wind was yours to guide
And the world was on your side
Sometimes you've got to break, to fully rise again

Get up, it's all right
Get up, it's safe
We're on a journey
Where nothing ever stays the same
Get up, it's all right
Get up, it's safe
We're in the valley
With every step you take I'll stay

Get up, it's all right
Get up, it's safe
We're in the valley
With every step you take I'll stay

Get up, it's all right
Get up, it's safe
We're on a journey
Where nothing ever stays the same
Get up, it's all right
Get up, it's safe
We're in the valley
With every step you take, I'll stay 

 

Amber Run - 5AM (Up!)

 

We run into a dark room
And we spasm to the sounds
Of a copy of Morrissey
Or the blues of the Deep South.

And the drugs will only hide it
The feeling never really goes
You won't find love at the bottom
Of a Class-C hole.

And you don't know what you've got until it's gone.
And you don't know who to love until you're lost.
And you don't know how to feel until the moment's passed.
I wish you'd live like you're made of glass.

We've got work in the morning
But it's nearly 5 AM.
Is this really what we envisioned?
We won't be 21 again.

And in the haze you see colours
And problems suddenly make sense.
But the way you've been going
You'll be in an early grave.

And you don't know what you've got until it's gone.
And you don't know who to love until you're lost.
And you don't know how to feel until the moment's passed.
I wish you'd live like you're made of glass. 

Ólafur Arnalds ft. Arnór Dan - Old Skin (Up!)

 

Where the woods would wear the wafting sounds of sea
Roves an oath, in search for something more to be
Still hard for me

Treading lightly, tightly shedding its old skin
Leaving trails of night for light to bring chagrin
While air grows thin

Wailing winds, alarm, in feathers it have dressed
Surrounding what's left inside its chest
We too shall rest

Roaring lungs, as oath becomes through flight past trees
Only the rhythm of love escapes the harmonies
Leaving us a beat

In these hands I'll hide, in these hands I'll hide
While this world collides, this world collides
It's not enough for me, it's not enough for me

In these hands I'll hide, in these hands I'll hide
While this world collides, this world collides
It's not enough for me, it's not enough for me

In these hands I'll hide, in these hands I'll hide
(Where the woods would wear the wafting sounds of sea)
While this world collides, this world collides
(Where the woods would wear the wafting sounds of sea)
It's not enough for me, it's not enough for me

In these hands I'll hide, in these hands I'll hide
While this world collides, this world collides
It's not enough for me, it's not enough for me 

 

Soen - Memorial

 

Stand up straight for the idols' anthem
Raise our flag and don't dare to run away
Fight like warriors become the reaper
Killing to keep them in line

When your life is a device to harvest concern
Don't you tremble
Death will only take a minute

When the war is part of you
Everyone you love will be abandoned
No matter what you do
While the warrior is alive
Kindness and remorse will be deprived
The past will be a lie

Bite your tongue and obey your leader
Troubled paragon swallowed by earth

When the war is part of you
Everyone you love will be abandoned
No matter what you do
While the warrior is alive
Kindness and remorse will be deprived
The past will be a lie

... Memories control your worn soul

Memories hurt us all still we'll never surrender
The bottle becomes your home and the gun is all you can hear
And if you pretend to save us from our intentions
The scars will remind that pain is a passage we'll have to cross

When the war is part of you
Everyone you love will be abandoned
No matter what you do
While the warrior is alive
Kindness and remorse will be deprived
The past will be a lie 

 

Hazlett - Doing My Best

 

So long, goodnight
Watch me go and put it upstairs
How come warm lights
Have a way of making me scared
I know what you liked
But don't know what you like

I'm okay but kinda upset
Told my mum I'm doing my best
It's too late to go and get rest
So I'm gonna live in my head
(Oh no, oh no no)
(Oh no, oh no no)

Cold cup warm stay
Growing up and learn to make tea
Fall comes, too late
Life is short and worrying me
I know what you liked
But don't know what you like

I'm okay but kinda upset
Told my mum I'm doing my best
It's too late to go and get rest
So I'm gonna live in my head
(Oh no, oh no no)
(So I'm gonna live in my head)
(Oh no, oh no no)
(Live in my head)
(So I'm gonna live in my head) 

 

Alex Warren ft. Gigi Perez - Eternity

 

Hear the clock ticking on the wall
Losing sleep, losing track of the tears I cry
Every drop is a waterfall
Every breath is a break in the riptide

Oh, how long has it been? I don't know

But it feels like an eternity
Since I had you here with me
Since I had to learn to be
Someone you don't know

To be with you in paradise
What I wouldn't sacrifice
Why'd you have to chase the light
Somewhere I can't go?

As I walk this world alone
As I walk this world alone

Another glimpse of what could've been (Ooh)
Another dream, another way that it never was
Falling back in the wilderness (Ooh)
Waking up, rubbing salt in the cut

Oh, how long has it been? I don't know

But it feels like an eternity
Since I had you here with me
Since I had to learn to be
Someone you don't know

To be with you in paradise
What I wouldn't sacrifice
Why'd you have to chase the light
Somewhere I can't go?

As I walk this world alone (Alone, alone)
As I walk this world alone (Alone, alone)

It's an endless night, it's a starless sky
It's a hell that I call home (Hell that I call home)
It's a long goodbye on the other side
Of the only life I know

And it feels like an eternity (Mm)
Since I had you here with me
Since I had to learn to be (Mm)
Someone you don't know (Whoa)
To be with you in paradise
What I wouldn't sacrifice
Why'd you have to chase the light
Somewhere I can't go?

As I walk this world alone
As I walk this world alone

Amber Run & Freya Ridings - I Found

 

And I'll use you as a warning sign
That if you talk enough sense then you'll lose your mind
And I'll use you as a focal point
So I don't lose sight of what I want
And I've moved further than I thought I could
But I missed you more than I thought I would
And I'll use you as a warning sign
That if you talk enough sense then you'll lose your mind

And I found love where it wasn't supposed to be
Right in front of me
Talk some sense to me

And I found love where it wasn't supposed to be
Right in front of me
Talk some sense to me

And I'll use you as a makeshift gauge
Of how much to give and how much to take
Oh I'll use you as a warning sign
That if you talk enough sense then you'll lose your mind

Oh and I found love where it wasn't supposed to be
Right in front of me
Talk some sense to me

And I found love where it wasn't supposed to be
Right in front of me
Talk some sense to me

And I found love where it wasn't supposed to be
Right in front of me
Talk some sense to me

And I found love where it wasn't supposed to be
Right in front of me
Talk some sense to me 

 

SYML - When the Party's Over (Billie Eilish cover)

 

Don't you know I'm no good for you?
I've learned to lose you, can't afford to
Tore my shirt to stop the bleedin'
But nothin' ever stops you leavin'

Quiet when I'm comin' home and I'm on my own
I could lie, say, "I like it like that, like it like that"
I could lie, say, "I like it like that, like it like that"

Don't you know too much already?
I'll only hurt you if you let me
Call me friend but keep me closer (Call me back)
And I'll call you when the party's over

Quiet when I'm comin' home and I'm on my own
I could lie, say, "I like it like that, like it like that"
I could lie, say, "I like it like that, like it like that"

But nothin' is better sometimes
Once we've both said our goodbyes
Let's just let it go
Let me let you go

Quiet when I'm comin' home and I'm on my own
I could lie, say, "I like it like that, like it like that"
I could lie, say, "I like it like that, like it like that"

London Grammar - Wasting My Young Years

 

You crossed this line
Do you find it hard to sit with me tonight?
I've walked these miles but I've walked 'em straight lined
You'll never know what was like to be fine

I'm wasting my young years
It doesn't matter if...
I'm chasing old ideas
It doesn't matter if...

Maybe...
We are
We are
Maybe I'm wasting my young years
Maybe...
We are
We are
Maybe I'm wasting my young years

Don't you know that it's only fear
I wouldn't worry, you have all your life
I've heard it takes some time to get it right

I'm wasting my young years
It doesn't matter if...
I'm chasing old ideas
It doesn't matter if...

Maybe...
We are
We are
Maybe I'm wasting my young years
Maybe...
We are
We are
Maybe I'm wasting my young years

I don't know what you want
Don't leave me hanging on
Don't know what you want
Don't leave me hanging on
