Lyrics of the Day

I cheated myself.
Like I knew I would.
I told you, I was troubled.
You know that I’m no good

– Amy Winehouse’s You Know I’m No Good

Because at some point I must count my every blessing, realizing that I’m just nothing but ordinary.

Troubled in the mind, for only a little bit.
Sottish, almost kind, for only a little while.
Doing bad, thinking bad, more often than not.

Because I’m no different from what you are, and you’re no different from what I am.
I’m just a little worse.


“Baby, jag tror jag är kär”

Jag tanker inte stopp dig. Aldrig kommer att stoppa dig från att sjunga, Maggio. ♥

Jag Kommer – Veronica Maggio

Natten är ung och jag ligger vaken
Jag är "Lucy in the sky", jag är högt över molnen

Ja, jag vet att hon är söt men håll tillbaka
För jag har trillat dit, jag har fallit, jag har vaknat

Ja, jag vet att hon är söt men håll tillbaka

För, 

Jag kommer, jag kommer, jag kommer, jag kommer - jag är nästan där
Jag kommer, jag kommer, jag kommer, jag kommer nu
Du, håll ut

Du vet att,
Jag kommer, jag kommer, jag kommer, jag kommer
Baby, jag tror jag är kär

I taxin, i trappen, i hissen, i hallen
Jag faller
Faller

Du och jag nu
Du snälla vänta, vänta, håll ut

Tio tusen meter upp i luften ser jag allt så klart
Jag vet att hon är söt, men det måste bli du och jag
Du och jag

För,
Jag kommer, jag kommer, jag kommer - jag är nästan där
Jag kommer, jag kommer, jag kommer, jag kommer nu
Du, håll ut

Du vet att,
Jag kommer, jag kommer, jag kommer, jag kommer
Baby, jag tror jag är kär

I taxin, i trappen, i hissen, i hallen
Jag faller
Faller

Oooooooh
Jag tror att jag faller, jag faller

Jag faller

Jag faller

I taxin, i trappen, i hissen, i hallen
Jag faller
Faller

(Jag kommer, jag kommer, jag kommer, jag kommer)
(Jag kommer, jag kommer, jag kommer, jag kommer)
(Jag kommer, jag kommer, jag kommer)
Du, håll ut

Du vet att,
Jag kommer, jag kommer, jag kommer, jag kommer
Baby, jag tror jag är kär

I taxin, i trappen, i hissen, i hallen
Jag faller
Faller

Jag kommer, baby, jag tror jag är kär

I taxin, i trappen, i hissen, i hallen
Jag faller
Faller

“They say we will go far, but they don’t know how far we’ll go”

My favorite. I fell in love with this song since the very first time I heard it. The sound of the keyboard and Victoria Legrand’s voice are so beautiful they give me some strange feelings of love and sadness. Can’t help but feeling melancholy every time I play this on purpose or my iTunes shuffles this song. At the same time it always reminds me of my boyfriend. Love, sadness, and your significant one? Too beautiful it makes my head hurts and my heart beats too fast. Ah Legrand, you make me miss my old hair.

10 Mile Stereo – Beach House

(click here for the audio)

The heart is a stone and this is a stone that we throw
Put your hand on this stone, it's the stone of a home you know
They say we'll go far, but they don't know how far we'll go
With our legs on the edge and our feet on the horizon

They say we can throw far but they don't know how far we throw
With our legs on the edge, and our feet on the horizon
The heart is a stone, and this is a stone that we throw
They say we will go far, but they don't know how far we'll go

It can't be gone, we're still right here
It took so long, can't say we heard it all
Limbs parallel, we stood so long we fell
Tear a moment from the days that carry us on forever

This push and pull is the force of a wave of time
In the heat of the night, we would cry, you are not mine
They said we would go far, but they don't know how far we'd go
'Cause this heart is a stone, and this is a stone that we throw

It can't be gone, we're still right here
It took so long, can't say we felt it all
Limbs parallel, we stood so long we fell
Love's like a pantheon, it carry us on forever

It can't be gone, we're still right here
It took so long, can't say we felt it all
Limbs parallel, we stood so long we fell
Love's like a pantheon, it carries on forever

Lyrics of the Day

“What if there’s nothing more to me?
I’m just skin and bones, there’s no mystery

What if there’s nothing more to us?
We’re just carbon-based, we’re just pixie dust”

– Motion City Soundtrack’s Skin and Bones


Forgotten Treasure pt.1

The sun is gone and the flowers rot
Words are spaces between us
And I should’ve been drown in the rivers I’ve found of token lost
And I should’ve been down when you made me insecure

So break me down if it makes you feel right
And hate me now if it keeps you alright
You can break me down if it takes all your might
’cause I’m so much more than meets the eye

And I’m the one you can never trust
’cause wounds are ways to reveal us
And yeah I could have tried and devoted my life to both of us
But what a waste of my time when the world we have is yours

So break me down if it makes you feel right
And hate me now if it keeps you alright
You can break me down if it takes all your might
’cause I’m so much more than all your lies

Hate me, break me down
So break me down
So break me down
So break me down if it makes you feel right
And hate me now if it keeps you alright
You can break me down if it takes all your might
’cause I’m so much more than meets the eye

– Seether’s Breakdown. It’s just pretty and I like it more as a poetry than a lyric.


“Nothing you can say can tear me away from my guy. Nothing you can do cause I’m stuck like glue to my guy.”

Although I made a promise to myself not to post any song by same artist that I already post in this blog before, I just can’t stand to share this Billie Holiday, by Warpaint (again). Sounded as pretty and as romantic as Baby, I wish I can play this and dedicate it to my loved one someday. Hehe, I already told you I love being lame, don’t be so surprised (but then again by being lame here I guess I’m running afoul my own law of secrecy. Another but.. one cannot help but to be careless once in a little while, can she?)

Billie Holiday – Warpaint

B.I.L.L.I.E.H.O.L.I.D.A.Y.
B.I.L.L.I.E.H.O.L.I.D.A.Y.
B.I.L.L.I.E.H.O.L.I.D.A.Y.
B.I.L.L.I.E.H.O.L.I.D.A.Y.

As I walk this line, I am bound by the other side
And it's for my heart that I'll live
Cause you'll never die.
Well if you want to know me, I'm a war. (B.I.L.L.I.E.H.O.L.I.D.A.Y.)
Come paint. (B.I.L.L.I.E.H.O.L.I.D.A.Y.)

Nothing you can say can tear me away from my guy.
Nothing you can do cause I'm stuck like glue to my guy.
I'm sticking to my guy like a stamp to a letter,
Like birds of a feather, we stick together.
I'm telling you from the start, I won't be torn apart from my guy.

Nothing you can buy could make me tell a lie to my guy.
Nothing you could do could make me untrue to my guy.
I gave my guy my word of honor to be faithful and I'm gonna.
You best be believing, I won't be deceiving my guy.

As a matter of opinion I think he's tops.
My opinion is he's the cream of the crop.
As a matter of taste to be exact,
He's my dear as a matter of fact.
No muscle-bound man can tear me away from my guy.

Birds of a feather, we are birds of a feather, we are birds of a feather, we are birds of a feather, 
we are birds of a feather, we are birds of a feather, we are birds of a feather, we are birds of a feather,
we are birds of a feather, we are birds of a feather, we are birds of a feather, we are birds of a feather,
we are birds of a feather, we are birds of a feather, we are birds of a feather, we are birds of a feather,
we are birds of a feather, we are birds of a feather, we are birds of a feather, we are birds of a feather,
birds of a feather, birds of a feather.

Theme Song of the Day

“I think I’m dumb, or maybe just happy. Think I’m just happy”

– recently played, Dumb by Nirvana. How appropriate.


“Don’t you call anybody else ‘baby’, ’cause I’m your baby still”

Something you might call “possessiveness”, in a beautiful way. Oh and their bassist, Jenny Lee Lindberg is very pretty by the way. I still feel like wanting to curse my Extractive Metallurgy test for cancelling me from going to Laneway Festival in Singapore last January, Warpaint’s performing in there, along with Foals, Beach House, Ladyhawke, and Yeasayer. Fuck. And it is not like I pass the test. Hahahahahaha. Double fuck.

Baby – Warpaint

(click here for the audio)

Don't you call anybody else baby,
'Cause I'm your baby still
You took a long time to make it
But I've never changed my mind
I've never tried to fake it
Never drew the line

Don't you call anybody else baby,
'Cause I'm your baby still
You took a long time to make it
But I've never changed my mind

You speak your fears
Thinking in circles
And checking word nears
Don't think
You live your life like a page
From the book of my fantasy
I write of you

You speak your fears
Thinking in circles
And checking word nears
Don't think
You live your life like a page
From the book of my fantasy

You speak your fears
Thinking in circles
And checking word nears
Don't think
You live your life like a page
From the book of my fantasy

You speak your fears
Thinking in circles
And checking word nears
Don't think
You live your life like a page
From the book of my fantasy

Don't you call anybody else baby

“Even when my luck is down, I take joy in knowing that our love grows”

I always have a particular song for particular moments, and for particular people who made quite significant effect in my life. Most of the songs don’t have any related meanings to what or who they will recall, but some do. Surely Attack Attack! doesn’t have anything to do at PROKM moment with my beloved Rakshadeva, or AFI never really done anything that got my old man into trouble that befall him. Although, this one does, along with Undercover Martyn and Snow Brigade. Kind of lame, hehe, but a good reminder of love. I love lame, but if and only if it is shared in secrecy between two people. Oh and I hope Yeasayer will do their best at their concert to come.

(Again, the audio is coming soon. My internet sucks major time since I forced it to download some extra album that I can’t wait for another month to hear. But truly, I do not support piracy. I have promised myself to buy all of my favorite artists’ album when I’m wealthy enough. Cross my heart) edited : click here for the audio.

Madder Red – Yeasayer

(Chorus)

Even when my luck is down
I take joy in knowing that our love grows
But if my vices are a burden
Please don't let me off
Cast me from your home

(Chorus)

'Cause lately I have wronged you
And not been on your side, love
Maybe I've been gone
Please don't ask me why

I turn away just when you want me
And I know that home is where you want me
There's not much for me there

Never gave a thought to an honorable living
Always had sense enough to lie
It's getting hard to keep pretending
I'm worth your time

(Chorus)

Never gave a thought to an honorable living
Always had sense enough to lie
It's getting hard to keep pretending
I'm worth your time

Cause lately I have wronged you
And nothing on your side, love
Maybe I've been gone
Please don't ask me why
Please don't ask me why
Please don't ask me why
Please don't ask me why

“Now I can talk, no one gets off”

So I need this kind of Space Upgrades to upload songs in the blog and I have to pay for it! Geez. Okay, on progress. Meanwhile here’s a very nice song and a great mood booster from Two Door Cinema Club called I Can Talk, also quite explains everything. (edited : click here for the audio).

You won't believe what I tell you, 
White coats and clever minds will choose
You get a lot from this
Loose tongue and arrogance
It's not appropriate
Don't think that this is it

Now I can talk, no one gets off
(I know how you like to)
Now I can talk, no one gets off

Now I can talk, no one gets off
(I know how you like to)
Now I can talk, no one gets off

A longer sentence brings no more
Than one that I had said before
It's hard to compromise
When I see through your eyes
It's just a common view
I guess it's lost on you

Now I can talk, no one gets off
(I know how you like to)
Now I can talk, no one gets off

Now I can talk, no one gets off
(I know how you like to)
Now I can talk, no one gets off

Now I can talk, no one gets off
(I know how you like to)
Now I can talk, no one gets off

Now I can talk, no one gets off
(I know how you like to)
Now I can talk, no one gets off
