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

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?

Almost forgot and went to take a nap. xD Today’s SoTD is Looking Glass by The Birthday Massacre. I’ve loved this song since the first time I heard it. <3 It’s awesome! Click more for lyrics!

The Birthday Massacre – Looking Glass

Waiting as I’m wanting to
Speaking as I’m spoken to
Changing to your point of view
Fading as I follow you

A boyish notion of false emotion
These words are spoken despite my love
A fool’s devotion was set in motion
My eyes are open now

It’s a glass cage so I can’t pretend
You hide beneath the physical
I see it coming but I can’t defend
You cut so deep, my belief is gone

Tell me what I want to say
Save me for another day
Break me, it’s the game you play
Hate me as I turn away

A boyish notion of false emotion
These words are spoken despite my love
A fool’s devotion was set in motion
My eyes are open now

It’s a glass cage so I can’t pretend
You hide beneath the physical
I see it coming but I can’t defend
You cut so deep, my belief is gone
