ALICIA KEYS - UNTHINKABLE

Moment of honesty
Someones gotta take the lead tonight
Whose it gonna be?
I’m gonna sit right here
And tell u all that comes to me
If u have something to say
You should say right now
(You should say it right now)
(You ready?)

You give me a feeling that I never felt before
And I deserve it, I think I deserve it
It’s becoming something that’s impossible to ignore
And I can’t take it

I was wondering maybe
Could I make you my baby
If we do the unthinkable
Would it make us look crazy
If you ask me I’m ready
If you ask me I’m ready

I know you have said to me
This is exactly how it should feel when its meant to be
Time is only wasting so why wait for eventually
If we gonna do something about it
We should do right now

You give me a feeling that I never felt before
And I deserve it, I know I deserve it
It’s becoming something that’s impossible to ignore
It is what we make it

I was wondering maybe
Could I make you my baby
If we do the unthinkable
Would it make us look crazy
Or would it be so beautiful 
Either way I’m sayin
If you ask me I’m ready
If you ask me I’m ready

Why give up before we try
Feel the lows before the highs
Clip our wings before we fly away
I can’t say I came prepared
I’m suspended in the air
Won’t you come be in the sky with me

I was wondering maybe
Could I make you my baby
If we do the unthinkable
Would it make us look crazy
Or would it be so beautiful
Either way I’m sayin
If you ask me I’m ready
If you ask me I’m ready 

MUSE - HYSTERIA

It’s bugging me, grating me
And twisting me around
Yeah I’m endlessly caving in
and turning inside out

‘Cause I want it now
I want it now
Give me your heart and your soul
And I’m breaking out
I’m breaking out
Last chance to lose control

Yeah it’s holding me, morphing me
and forcing me to strive
To be endlessly cold within
and dreaming I’m alive

‘Cause I want it now
I want it now
Give me your heart and your soul
I’m not breaking down
I’m breaking out
Last chance to lose control

And I want you now
I want you now
I feel my heart implode
And I’m breaking out
Escaping now
Feeling my faith erode

I don’t care if this song is overplayed. I absolutely love this song. Probably like most, I heard of them from the movie 500 Days of Summer. Ever since I watched that movie last year, I’ve been in love with this band. I will never ever get sick of this song. This is a type of song where when I close my eyes, it brings me back to a time when I went ice skating in downtown Chicago outside. It was my first trip without parents. There wasn’t many people on the ice with me, so I spread my arms while skating and looked up at the skyscrapers and closed my eyes. Yes, very dramatic, but I felt sooo free. There are a handful of songs that bring me back to that place.

THE TEMPER TRAP - SWEET DISPOSITION

Sweet disposition
Never too soon
Oh, reckless abandon
Like no one’s watching you
A moment
A love
A dream
A laugh
A kiss
A cry
Our rights
Our wrongs
A moment a love
A dream
A laugh
A moment a love
A dream
A laugh

Just stay there
Cause I’ll be coming over
While our blood’s still young
It’s so young, it runs
And won’t stop ‘til it’s over
Won’t stop to surrender

Songs of desperation
I played them for you
A moment
A love
A dream
A laugh
A kiss
A cry
Our rights
Our wrongs
A moment a love
A dream
A laugh
A moment a love
A dream
A laugh

So stay there
Cause I’ll be coming over
And while our blood’s still young
So young, it runs
And won’t stop ‘til it’s over
Won’t stop to surrender
Won’t stop ‘til it’s over
Won’t stop ‘til it’s over
Won’t stop ‘til it’s over
Won’t stop to surrender 

INTERPOL - PIONEERS TO FALLS

Show me the dirt pile
And I will pray that the soul can take
Three stowaways
Vanish with no guile
And I will not pay
But the soul can wait
The soul can wait

Well it is still pretty wet
With all these leaks
We’ll be fine
We’ll be fine

But if it’s still pretty wet
With all these leaks
We’ll be fine, oh…
And supervise

Show me the dirt pile
And I will pray that the soul can take
Three stowaways
And you vanish with no guile
And I will not pay
But the soul can wait
I felt you so much today

And oh you try..
You tried.. straight into my heart
You fly.. straight into my heart
Girl, I know you try…
You fly.. straight into my heart
You fly.. straight into my heart
But here comes the fall (fault)

So much for make believe, I’m not sold
So much of pain’s deceit, I’m not prepared to know
Your heart makes me feel
Your heart makes me bold
For always and ever
I’ll never let go
Always concealed
Safe and inside — alive

Show me the dirt pile
And I will pray that the soul can take
Three stowaways
In a passion it broke
I pull the black from the grey
But the soul can wait
I felt you so much today

Love everything about this song, especially the guitar and piano solo in the beginning… totally sets the mood of a sad yet beautiful song. 

MUSE - BUTTERFLIES and HURRICANES

Change everything you are
And everything you were
Your number has been called

Fights and battles have begun
Revenge will surely come
Your hard times are ahead

Best, you’ve got to be the best
You’ve got to change the world
And use this chance to be heard
Your time is now

Change everything you are
And everything you were
Your number has been called

Fights and battles have begun
Revenge will surely come
Your hard times are ahead

Best, you’ve got to be the best
You’ve got to change the world
And use this chance to be heard
Your time is now

Don’t let yourself down
Don’t let yourself go
Your last chance has arrived

Best, you’ve got to be the best
You’ve got to change the world
And use this chance to be heard
Your time is now

Old, but good song for the new year. ^^

SILVERSUN PICKUPS - SORT OF

Do you think I’m sort of alive?
Should I set these motives aside?
Do I feel? Well sort of, benign
When you walk your body through mine

What’s keeping my tongue tied?
I see when you roll your eyes
I swear any moment you will hear
My spirit explode

When there’s fire on the ground
Should it turn my whole world around?
When the wheel’s in the lake
Should I think it’s a big mistake?
When there’s smoke in the sky
Please wake me, I don’t know why
When your hand stretches out
Is it way beyond, way beyond my reach?

Do you think it’s sort of a crutch
When you try to move me to touch
Do I shake? Well sort of, but not much
When the shades are summoned and crushed

What’s keeping my tongue tied?
I see when you roll your eyes
I swear any moment you will hear
My spirit explode

When there’s fire on the ground
Should it turn my whole world around?
When the wheel’s in the lake
Should I think it’s a big mistake?
When there’s smoke in the sky
Please wake me, I don’t know why
When your hand stretches out
Is it way beyond, way beyond my reach?

Reach
Keep reaching
For me
Does it make you nervous
When you hear my bones
Animate my body
Without my soul?

What’s keeping my tongue tied?
I see when you roll your eyes
I swear any moment you will hear
My spirit explode

When there’s fire on the ground
Should it turn my whole world around?
When the wheel’s in the lake
Should I think it’s a big mistake?
When there’s smoke in the sky
Please wake me, I don’t know why
When your hand stretches out
Is it way beyond, way beyond my reach? 

THE TEMPER TRAP - SCIENCE OF FEAR

Brakes on, brakes on
The car is running empty
Brakes on, brakes on
The car is runnin’ empty
Downhill
Head on
This crash is comin’ slowly
Downhill
Head on 
This crash is comin’ slowly
Move
Or watch the slow death of your way of life

There’s a science to fear
It plagues my mind
And it keeps us right here
And it keeps us here

My ears 
My eyes
My brain is slowly bustin’
Black smoke
Red sky 
The television’s sayin’
Downhill
Head on another crash is comin’
Downhill
Head on another crash is comin’
Move
Or watch the murder of your way of life

There’s a science to fear
It plagues my mind
And it keeps us right here
And the less we know
The more we sit still
My baby’s stuck on a road
That leads to nowhere
Nowhere, nowhere, nowhere, nowhere

Brakes on
Brakes on
Brakes on
Brakes on
Brakes on
There’s a science to fear
It plagues my mind
And it keeps us right here
And the less we know
The more we sit still, sit still
My baby’s stuck on a road
That leads to nowhere
Nowhere, nowhere, nowhere, nowhere

SILVERSUN PICKUPS - PANIC SWITCH

time is never worth my time
blue shine bleeds into my eyes
i still sleep on the right side
but white noise can’t leave the scene behind

could i be anything you want me to be
if so, is it meant to be seen

when you see yourself in a crowded room
do your fingers itch are you pistol whipped
will you step in line or release the glitch
can you fall asleep with a panic switch
when you see yourself in a crowded room
do your fingers itch are you pistol whipped
will you step in line or release the glitch
do you think she’ll sleep with a panic…

and i’ll try to hold on tight tonight
pink slip inviting me inside
want to burn skin and brand what once was mine
but the red views keep ripping the divide

if i go everywhere you want me to go
how will i know you’ll still follow

when you see yourself in a crowded room
do your fingers itch are you pistol whipped
will you step in line or release the glitch
can you fall asleep with a panic switch
when you see yourself in a crowded room
do your fingers itch are you pistol whipped
will you step in line or release the glitch
do you think she’ll sleep with a panic…

i’m waiting and fading and floating away
i’m waiting and fading and floating away
i’m waiting and fading and floating away
i’m waiting and fading and floating…

i’m waiting and fading and floating away
i’m waiting and fading and floating away
i’m waiting and fading and floating away
waiting and fading
waiting and fading

when you see yourself in a crowded room
do your fingers itch are you pistol whipped
will you step in line or release the glitch
can you fall asleep with a panic switch
when you see yourself in a crowded room
do your fingers itch are you pistol whipped
will you step in line or release the glitch
do you think she’ll sleep with a panic…

[btw: some say its about a relationship, most say its about the music industry. whatevs…its a great song no matter which way you look at it] 

Edit: You know what’s sweet? Lol. I loved this song even more when it was available for purchase on RockBand. Lol. Total badass! Singing and playing fake guitar is fun. :)

Glad you guys all enjoyed this. ^^ 

an oldie…
One of my favorite songs from 30STM. Good song for those who are going thru a break-up and wanna scream. ^^

30 Seconds To Mars - Attack
I won’t suffer, be broken, get tired, or wasted
Surrender to nothing, or give up what I
Started and stopped it, from end to beginning
A new day is coming, and I am finally free

Run away, run away, I’ll attack
Run away, run away, go change yourself
Run away, run away, now I’ll attack
I’ll attack, I’ll aa-WHOOOAAAAAAAAA

I would have kept you, forever, but we had to sever
It ended for both of us, faster than a
Kill off this thinking, it’s starting to sink in
I’m losing control now, and without you I can finally see

Run away, run away, I’ll attack
Run away, run away, go change yourself
Run away, run away, now I’ll attack
I’ll attack, I’ll aa-WHOOOAAAAAAAAA

Your promises, they look like lies
Your honesty, like a back that hides a knife (knife)
I promise you (promise you)
I promise you (promise you)
And I am finally free

Run away, run away, I’ll attack
Run away, run away, go change yourself
Run away, run away, now I’ll attack
I’ll attack, I’ll attack, I will attack

Run away, I’ll attack, I will attack
Run away, I’ll attack, I will attack

Run away (Run away), I’ll attack (I’ll attack)
I’ll aa-WHOOOAAAAAAAAA

Your promises
(promises, promises)
I promise you
(promise you)
I promise you
(promise you, promise you)

^^ love.

Closer to the Edge

I don’t remember a moment I tried to forget
I lost myself, is it better not said
I’m closer to the edge

It was a thousand to one and a million to two
Time to go down in flames and I’m taking you
Closer to the edge

[Chorus]: 
No I’m not saying I’m sorry
One day maybe we’ll meet again
No I’m not saying I’m sorry
One day maybe we’ll meet again
No no no no

Can you imagine a time when the truth ran free?
The birth of a song, the death of a dream
Closer to the edge

This never ending story take forward pride in fate
We all fall short of glory
Lost in ourselves

[Chorus x2] 

No no no no
I will never forget
No no
I will never regret
No no
I will live my life

[Chorus]

Closer to the edge
Closer to the edge
No no no no
Closer to the edge
Closer to the edge
No no no no
Closer to the edge
