2017/03/13: benjamin clementine - i won't complain

"
it's a wonderful life, it's a wonderful life
traversed in tears from the heavens
my heart is a mellow drum, a mellow drum in fact
set alight by echoes of pain 24-7, 24-7

i dream, i smile, i walk, i cry
i dream, i smile, i walk, i cry

you might not say that its a wonderful world
and it's a wonderful life
and it's a wonderful day
just as yesterday

but i won't complain
no i won't complain
though my good days are far gone
they will surely come back one morn
so i won't complain, no, no

my mind is a mirror, a reflection only known to me
and for those who hate me, the more you hate me
the more you help me
and for those who love me, the more you love me
the more you hurt me

when i go to bed in the night
i see some children in the light
fighting unknown shadows behind my mother's back
and although i don't understand
my dreams i know somewhere
there is hope, theres is hope, somewhere, there is hope

i dream, i smile, i walk, i cry
i dream, i smile, i walk, i cry

you might not say that its a wonderful world
and it's a wonderful life
and it's a wonderful day
just as yesterday

but i won't complain
i won't complain no, no
no, no, no, no, no
no, no, no, no, no, i won't complain, no i won't complain

though my good days are far gone

said your name, in an empty room
said your name, in an empty room
something i would never do

said your name, in an empty room
said your name, in an empty room
something i would never do

i'm alone again

when I'm by myself
i can be myself
and my life is coming
but I don't know when

you were burning out, you're black and gray
you were burning out, you're black and gray
something I would never say

i'm alone again

when I'm by myself
i can be myself
and my life is coming
but I don't know when

toute ma vie, est avec toi
toute ma vie, est avec toi
moi j'attends, toi tu pars

toute ma vie, est avec toi
toute ma vie, est avec toi
moi j'attends, toi tu pars

2017/01/28: megadeth - dread and the fugitive mind

"
let me introduce myself I'm a social disease
i've come for your wealth leave you on your knees
no time for feeling sorry, I got here on my own
i won't ask for mercy, I choose to walk alone

what's yours is mine and what's mine is mine too
if you shake my hand better count your fingers

what if I do get caught? What if there is no judgment?
if I'm right I lose nothing, if you're right I lose it all
i ought to get caught because I'm doing something wicked
i'm guilty haunted by my fear and the only consequences
are Dread and the Fugitive Mind

you built walls to protect you so no one will infect you
pursued by those out there that vanish in thin air
come a long way to find what you really left behind
you don't know when the end is but it's coming fast

what's yours is mine and what's mine is mine too
if you shake my hand better count your fingers

what if I do get caught? What if there is no judgment?
if I'm right I lose nothing, if you're right I lose it all
i ought to get caught because I'm doing something wicked
i'm guilty haunted by my fear and the only consequences
are dread and the fugitive mind

We need a witness to our lives.
There's a billion people on the planet...
I mean, what does any one life really mean?
But in a marriage, you're promising to care about everything. The good things, the bad things, the terrible things, the mundane things... all of it, all of the time, every day.
You're saying 'Your life will not go unnoticed because I will notice it. Your life will not go un-witnessed because I will be your witness'."

2016/12/04: gotye - hearts a mess

"
pick apart
the pieces of your heart
and let me peer inside
let me in
where only your thoughts have been
let me occupy your mind
as you do mine

your heart's a mess
you won't admit to it
it makes no sense
but I'm desperate to connect
you can't live like this

you have lost
(too much love)
to fear, doubt and distrust
(it's not enough)
you just threw away the key
to your heart

you don't get burned
('cause nothing gets through)
it makes it easier
(easier on you)
but that much more difficult for me
to make you see…

love ain't fair
so there you are
my love

your heart's a mess
you won't admit to it
it makes no sense
but I'm desperate to connect
and you, you can't live like this

your heart's a mess
you won't admit to it
it makes no sense
but I'm desperate to connect
and you can't live like this

love ain't safe
you won't get hurt if you stay chaste
so you can wait
but I don't wanna waste my love

soundgarden - boot camp




"
i must obey the rules
i must be tame and cool
no staring at the clouds
i must stay on the ground
in clusters of the mice
the smoke is in our eyes
like babies on display
like angels in a cage
i must be pure and true
i must contain my views
there must be something else
there must be something good
far away

"the waiting drove me mad... you're finally here and i'm a mess
i take your entrance back... can't let you roam inside my head
i don't want to take what you can give...
i would rather starve than eat your bread...
i would rather run but i can't walk...
guess i'll lie alone just like before...
i'll take the vermin's path... oh, and i must refuse your test
a-push me and i will resist... this behavior's not unique
i don't want to hear from those who know...
they can buy, but can't put on my clothes...
i don't want to limp for them to walk...
never would have known of me before...
i don't want to be held in your debt...
i'll pay it off in blood, let i be wed...
i'm already cut up and half dead...
i'll end up alone like i began...
everything has chains... absolutely nothing's changed
"take my hand, not my picture," spilled my tincture
i don't want to take what you can give...
i would rather starve than eat your bread...
all the things that others want for me...
can't buy what i want because it's free...
can't buy what i want because it's free...
can't be what you want because i'm...
why ain't it supposed to be just fun
oh, to live and die, let it be done
i figure i'll be damned, all alone like i began...
it's your move now...
i thought you were a friend, but i guess i, i guess i hate you..
