#15GoodSongs

i shall bring forth this Twitter trend now. as you can see from the title. will be putting in some of my favourite lines as well. songs are not just the enjoyment of the tune; it's the understanding of the lyrics.

i'd like to emb the videos from Youtube as well, but i'm sorry, i'm feeling super lazy right now. so make do, okay? you can search for the songs on your own if you want to. wouldnt want to make your comps lag anyway. right? 

01. These Walls - Trapt 
like clockwork, i commit the crime; i pretend to be everything they write.
the way i look at it, i think it's about society.

02. Pages - There For Tomorrow
from the constant changes you have made; you keep inside until you have your say. 
we change as we get older; the days we walked are over. 
actually, i pretty much love this entire song. go listen to it!

03. Stories - There For Tomorrow
he's got no hope for a cure so he's put himself to sleep. 
she's not in the world alone but she wanted to put herself to sleep.
tell me what to tell you when the world won't listen; the start to the finish, come on and let me hear you speak.
this entire song is beautiful, too.

04. Dive Right In - Story of the Year
although my hands are shaking, i lie perfectly still cause i'm determined to let myself sink down. 
i know i'm buried too far down to feel the warmth from the sun again.

05. The Antidote - Story of the Year
with our weapons drawn and all our resources gone, are we facing extinction? 
the only antidote consists of blood, sweat and hope, and a blueprint to save us from all that we know.
listen to this entire song as well. it's amazing too.

06. Home - Three Days Grace
this house is not a home; i think i'm better off alone. 
no matter how hard i tried, you're never satisfied.
by the time you come home, i'm already stone.

07. A Grey So Dark - Trivium 
ripping out the feelings used to hold me into place. 
i'm digging deeper to lay my misery down into the water so that it may drown. 
swallowing the ashes of a newly burnt down dream; tasting only charred remains of a cured and better me.

08. Torn Between Scylla and Charybdis - Trivium
divided by destiny, torn between death and doom. destruction by decision and then blah3 i dont catch that part already.
the meaning of this title is similar to that of the Morton's Fork, if you remember. between a rock and a hard place. hmmm i think i should probably blog more about this soon.

09.Straitjacket Feeling - All American Rejects 
back me down from backing out. 
try this on, straitjacket feeling, so maybe i won't be alone. 
yesterday was hell but today i'm fine without you. i'll run away this time without you. 
i'm holding on by letting go of you. 
whole song is meaningful, too.

10. Story of A Girl - Nine Days
how many days in the year she woke up with hope but she only found tears? 
as long as she stays there waiting, wearing the holes in the soles of her shoes. 
your clothes never wear as well the next day and your hair never falls in quite the same way.
i've always loved this song. in fact among all the songs in this list, i've loved this song the longest! since primary school days.

11. How to Save A Life - The Fray 
yes, yes. the entire song is beautiful, yes. i don't have anything else to say.

12. Space x Time - Dana Harmon ft Maika Maile
actually, the song is originally Maika's. but this Dana Harmon took it and added his stuff, so it's a sort of collaboration. i must admit i don't really like the rap, but listen to Maika's lines, especially at the interlude part or whatever it's called. it means a lot.

13. Calling Out - Lazee ft Apollo Drive
cuts and bruises, the love of her life is so abusive; talks with his hands, that's not a real man but still without him she feels her life is useless. 
see what Daddy do when he gets fed-up.
basically like the kinds of stories behind closed doors. this one is beautiful too, yes.

14. Ugly - 2NE1
it's talking about personality, not looks, right? 

15. Both of Us - B.O.B ft Taylor Swift
i wish i was strong enough to lift not one, but both of us. 
everything is so low that you could drown in a puddle, that's why i gotta hold us up. 
and you feel like you're just another person getting lost in the crowd. 
we'll still stand tall with our shoulders up.
t'is you know already huh (;

so yeah. i just came back from a solitary trip to Ikea and then Tampines. bought myself a clock cause my previous one wouldn't move its hands even though i'd already changed the battery.

i bought red cause it was on discount. only the red! cause it was  National Day promotion. how unfair! so i just bought red even though it's, well, red.


i hear the mumsie talking on the phone. angrily. i hope she's not talking about me.
