Music for the Soul

Brand New

So this new Brand New album has really gotten me, I wasn't into them after their first album, but this one is different. I love the slow, emo-y songs mixed with the more angry, screamy songs. The lyrics are great, especially in "Sic Transit Glory." The first time I realized what they were saying, I just wanted to cry.

"She laughs and fakes a smile as she presses her hips into his. He keeps his hands pinned down at his sides. He's holding back from telling her exactly what it really feels like. He is a lamb, she is the slaughter. She's moving way too fast and all wanted was to hold her..." ~Sic Transit Gloria...Glory Fades

"And if you makes you less sad, I'll move out of this state. You can keep to yourself, I'll keep out of your way. And if it makes you less sad, I'll take your pictures all down. Every picture you paint, I will paint myself out..." ~The Boy Who Blocked His Own Shot

I Heart Death Cab for Cutie

"I'm in Los Angeles today- garbage cans comprise the medians of freeways, always creeping, even when the population's sleeping. And I can't see why you'd want to live here." ~Why You'd Want to Live Here

"...It's no stretch to say you were not quite a father, but a donor of seeds to a poor, single mother that would raise us alone. We never saw the money that went down your throat through the hole in your belly... Just 'cause he's gone, it doesn't change the fact: he was a bastard in life, thus a bastard in death." ~Styrofoam Plates

"I'll react when faces find you, with jealous fits that gag and bind you, 'cause nothing hurts like nothing at all, when imagination takes full control." ~President of What?

Who could forget Strung Out?

"I begin to scramble in my head for the answers, only to find myself shut down by the same mistakes again. Lookin' over my shoulder for the things that pass me by. I know that tomorrow will be the same, I'll find a new excuse to make the same mistakes again. I've been here before, I know I'll be here again. So many wasted hours, so many wasted intentions..." ~Deville

"At the crossroads in our way, turned against each other with the games we like to play. Looking straight ahead, it's hard to see things eye to eye. Not at all what it used to be - that I can't deny. And now I leave it up to you, allow my best to follow this through. Got nothing left to give, now I gotta find a better way before I lose another part of me." ~Crossroads

Yay for Alkaline Trio!

"...And I just can't see through the evidence It's evident, It's right in front of me in black and white and red. And I don't believe in much of anything. I'm glad I have people I call friends. If it was up to me I'd never have to miss you. It's for the better in the bitter end I guess you'd know the best. You have every right to be this appalled with me, Join the club..." ~Bloodied Up

"Schoolyard freaks are freezing, down getting teased again. I'm looking back and down and watching it go by. Down at the stockyards cattle screaming, the trains squeak by again. I can feel my breath and I'm so thankful I'm not one of them. The sound of the ground freezing is pounding once again. It comes with the wind that once wiped off our smiles. Alarm clock bells are screaming out the same routine again. Scrape open your eyes, rise and fucking shine, 7 am." ~ 5-3-10-4

"I guess I'll always stop and see you, and we'll run into each other's lives. Yeah, I guess. Although it tears me up inside. Everytime it burns my eyes with tears, But I know you're worth the pain. I've so much more to gain by waiting for you." ~Message from Kathlene

"So where'd you go? How was your vacation home? Well obviously you were busy, too busy for me. So this is how you leave me? I'm broken hearted on the floor, My tears seep through the crack under my door, where I am locked in, shut down, I'm so tired of picking myself up off the ground." ~Enjoy Your Day
