Yes, I’m horrible and lazy and it’s been months. Not that I haven’t had anything to say, but I’ve just been busy getting back on track with a lot of things. I’m working again, I’m back in school, and I’m trying to still have fun in the middle of all of it. I suppose it would have been awesome to blog about our summer trip to Vegas buuuuuut… oh well! Maybe I’ll talk about it if I feel like it.

Anyway, I’m spam this song right now on my Zune, and I’m working with two other blogs, so I figured why not do a Song of The Day. Well, here it is. Shiny Toy Guns – Don’t Cry Out (look under the cut!)

Shiny Toy Guns – Don’t Cry Out

I don’t get you
I can’t forget what you’ve forgotten
All along
I’ve never been so alone

Don’t cry out
Cease fire

I was pretending
Your secret kiss of confidence
Was my escape
The perfect game to play

Don’t cry out
Cease fire

Ten, nine, eight, and I’m breaking away
I’m all dressed up, and I’m ready to play
Seven, six, five, four, and I’m all over you
Counting three, two, one, and I’m having fun

Your fascination
With naked walls of silk and skin
With no conditions
I needed you to notice
That’s all I wanted

Don’t cry out
Cease fire

Ten, nine, eight, and I’m breaking away
I’m all dressed up, and I’m ready to play
Seven, six, five, four, and I’m all over you
Counting three, two, one, and I’m having fun

Ten, nine, eight, and I’m breaking away
I’m all dressed up, and I’m ready to play
Seven, six, five, four, and I’m all over you
Counting three, two, one, and I’m having fun

Don’t cry out
Cease fire

Ten, nine, eight, and I’m breaking away
I’m all dressed up, and I’m ready to play
Seven, six, five, four, and I’m all over you
Counting three, two, one, and I’m having fun

Ten, nine, eight, and I’m breaking away
I’m all dressed up, and I’m ready to play
Seven, six, five, four, and I’m all over you
Counting three, two, one, and I’m having fun

The male and female vocals sound to good together in this song; very powerful. Not much to say today though, so I’ll just go ahead and present the song. Enjoy!

Shiny Toy Guns – You Are The One

Black rose and a radio fire
It’s so contagious
Such something changing my mind
I’m gonna take what’s evil

Your cover melting inside
With wide eyes you tremble
Kissing over & over again
Your god knows his faithful

I try – to digest my pride
But passion’s grip I fear
When I climb – into shallow vats of wine
I think I almost hear – but its not clear

You are the one
You’ll never be alone again
You’re more then in my head – you’re more

You are the one
You’ll never be alone again
You’re more then in my head – you’re more

Spin faster shouting out loud
You can’t steal what’s paid for
Such something hurting again
Murder son she’s painful

You so believe your own lies
On my skin your fingers
Runaway until the last time
We’re gonna lose forever

When you try – don’t try to say you won’t
Try to crawl into my head
When you cry – cause it’s all built up inside
Your tears already said – already said

You are the one
You’ll never be alone again
You’re more then in my head – you’re more

You are the one
You’ll never be alone again
You’re more then in my head – you’re more

You’ll never be alone again

You are the one
You’ll never be alone again
You’re more then in my head – you’re more

You are the one
You’ll never be alone again
You’re more then in my head – you’re more

Alone again

A few months ago I had a revelation of just what this song actually means. Since then.. I listen to it whenever I feel… let down. I’m feeling quite blindsided right now. A rose is still a flower, and so it will always behave as one.

So yeah, here’s the song for today, The Birthday Massacre – Blue. I’m almost surprised I haven’t used it yet. Continue for lyrics.

The Birthday Massacre – Blue

Plastic blue
Invitations in my room
I’ve been waiting here for you
Reservations made for two
Sunlight fading

Black tongues speak faster than the car can crash
You supply the rumors
And I’ll provide the wrath
Romance is breaking every heart in two
Casting shadows in a pale shade of blue

Plastic blue
Conversations in my room
Saving every tear for you
Trusting every word untrue
Twilight fading

Fate changes faster than the death of light
You supply the envy
And I’ll provide the spite
Reflections cutting every face in two
Casting shadows in a pale shade of blue

How ironic that I use it here on this blog, under different circumstances, but still a little of the same feeling. Anyway, yeah. Here it is, AFI – Endlessly She Said.

AFI – Endlessly, She Said

Walked into our world and made horrible sounds
I can still hear them today
Strangely, they seem beautiful now
Though they outlast my love

Still each time I always meant
Every word, every one
Though in time they finally bent
Every word, every one, every word

“I will wait for you,” she said, “endlessly.”
“I will wait for you.” So spoke misery.

I returned to you but found
My empty home
The radio told me to stay
[As it burned down]
I sang alone
You will outlast, my love

Still each time I always meant
Every word, every one
Though in time they finally bent
Every word, every one, every word

“I will wait for you,” she said, “endlessly.”
“I will wait for you.” So spoke misery.

I have been waiting for you
Biting as you taught me to
I have come to relieve you
Of life and love

I will wait for you
I will wait for you
I will wait for you
I will wait
I will wait

“I will wait for you,” she said, “endlessly”
“I will wait for you.” So spoke misery

“I will wait for you endlessly”
“I will wait for you” So spoke
So spoke misery

I will bite straight through
As I wait for you, dear
Endlessly

I like both their new and their old sound, no matter what anyone says. As long as they’re making the kind of music they want to make, I totally respect wherever they go on their musical journey… even if one day it’s really not for me. I’d want people to think the same of me if it were my band, you know? I love lots of different styles of music and I’d love to make songs in all the different styles, so I understand by some people “change” their sound. It’s fun to do something different, you know?

Anyway, enough of that. xD Let’s get to the song!

Shiny Toy Guns – Frozen Ocean

I can’t sleep
I’ve lost the urge to sing
No one’s left a friend
The cost of ill pretend
Where’d you go?
I need you now
I said ooh ooh…

Ten thousand miles apart
A frozen ocean joins our hearts
I can’t wait to meet you when
The frozen waves meet ocean floors
You’ll be standing on the shore
I can’t wait to meet you then

I still dream
But what should I believe
Frozen shapes to bend
Impossible sets in
Lost again
Still alone
I said ooh-ooh

Ten thousand miles apart
A frozen ocean joins our hearts
I can’t wait to meet you when
The frozen waves meet ocean floors
You’ll be standing on the shore
I can’t wait to meet you then

I can’t wait [7x]

The frozen waves meet ocean floors
You’ll be standing on the shore
I can’t wait to meet you then
Ten thousand miles apart
A frozen ocean joins our hearts
I can’t wait to meet you when

Utada – Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence – FYI

I give you my heart

Your senorita
A.k.a. your best friend
Hereby, let it be known
Love like never before
I’m always at your service
You just have to holla at me

NYC NYC, what what
Tokyo Tokyo, what what
Send it up from the streets to the highest
To the highest high
Mp3 mp3 players
Work it out, work it out, hustlers
Om Mani Padme Hum

It’s seven o’clock

That’s right, we’re stealing this show
Damn right, letting ‘em know
We’re sipping Chardonnay
From 2pm on a working day

Ching-a-ling Ching-a-ling, what what
Ching-a-ling Ching-a-ling, what what
Take me down to the fields where the grass is
Where the grass is lime
Mp3 mp3, players
Work it out, work it out, hustlers

We’re gonna ooooo aaaahhh
FYI, we’re gonna be up all night
I’ll see you later

Why this song? I always had it on repeat for awhile.. nice to go back to listen again.

I think it’s quite obvious; I love The Birthday Massacre. xD

The Birthday Massacre – Shiver

A painting for every face
No correction, just cover up
She can’t afford to come off
hard cause she’s too cold to shiver
Too cold to shiver
Too cold to shiver in this cold
She’s too cold to shiver

All the hands along the wall
Taking time to break her fall
Minds divide the heart in two
Empty as the shadows walking over you
Over you
She’s walking over you
Breaking the fall over you

[Always
Want to
Watch her]
Lines divide the heart in two
[Find you]

[Hallway
Walk through
Make her]
Shadows walking over you
[Blind you]

Pictures for every place
No affection, just shut her up
She can’t afford to make it
hard cause she’s too cold to shiver
Too cold to shiver
Too cold to shiver in this cold
She’s too cold to shiver

All the eyes behind the wall
Taking time to watch her crawl
Broken hearts are never true
Empty as the shadows walking over you
Over you
She’s walking over you
Watching her crawl over you

[Always
Want to
Watch her]
Broken hearts are never true
[Find you]

[Hallway
Walk through
Make her]
Shadows walking over you
[Blind you]

[Always
Want to
Watch her]
Broken hearts are never true
[Find you]

[Hallway
Walk through
Make her]
Shadows walking over you
[Blind you]

I’ve had this drafted since.. whenever my last post was, but I never got around to posting it ’til now. This is one of my favorite TBM songs. I’m so glad they re-recorded it for Walking With Strangers! The… demo version, I guess, will always be a classic for me though. There’s a few lyrical differences between the two versions, and I love them both. <3

“More” for lyrics!

The Birthday Massacre – Remember Me

It’s safe to say I’m lonely now
A place called home
Is just a memory away
I know I’ve done this all before
A thousand silent voices
Begging me to stay

Apologies all left unsaid
Secrets better left unspoken
Dreams laid down and put to bed
Rumors stirred and re-awoken

If I try to get away
How long until I’m free
And if I don’t come back here
Will you remember me?

It’s safe to say there’s nothing now
It’s all so quiet but I
Can’t forget the sound
A thousand voices call my name
A thousand hands that
Pull me back down to the ground

I turn away from what you are
Denying all that you have given
I find a place that’s safe and far
In time all will be forgiven

If I try to get away
How long until I’m free
And if I don’t come back here
Will you remember me?

I really love this song and I can’t wait to hear their first album. <3 You can listen to the song over at their official myspace.

As always, hit “more” for lyrics!

Versant – Push Away

Come the day we understand
Will we shout out at once?
Do we always run away on our own time?

You thought I would leave you down
When the weight was too much
I will lift you from the ground

Don’t you feel we’re both in the storm?
Take, take another life
I keep fighting the wind so you know… why
Even those that doubt us believe
Take, take another life
We must be the only ones breathing

Still you push away

Call the ones that hold your hand
Do they shout out at once,
Make a point to fall in line, and remind you?

You thought I would leave you down
When the weight was too much
I will lift you from the ground

Don’t you feel we’re both in the storm?
Take, take another life
I keep fighting the wind so you know… why
Even those that doubt us believe
Take, take another life
We must be the only ones breathing

Still you push away
Still you push away

All the words found alone
All the homes around in pieces
Climp around
Why the doubt?
Where’s the liar,
and what’s their reason?

You thought I would leave you down
When the weight was too much
I will lift you from the ground

Anyway, here it is! Lyrics under more, of course.

No Doubt – Running

Run
Running all the time
Running to the future
With you right by my side

Me
I’m the one you chose
Out of all the people
You wanted me the most
And I’m so sorry that I’m falling
Help me up lets keep on running
Don’t let me fall out of love

Running, running
As fast as we can
Do you think we’ll make it?
Do you think we’ll make it?
We’re running
Keep holding my hand
So we don’t get separated

Be
Be the one I need
Be the one I trust most
Don’t stop inspiring me
Sometimes it’s hard to keep on running
We work so much to keep it going
Don’t make me want to give up

Running, running
As fast as we can
I really hope we make it
Do you think we’ll make it?
We’re running
Keep holding my hand
So we don’t get separated
