The Hated - Words Come Back

everyone says that they're better
everyone says that they're strong
everyone tries to intimidate
they're probably right all along

but they're all fighting
putting us down
tattoos on motorcycles
don't want us in their town

so many times that i've been told
to change for the sake of blind hellos
one thing i learned in
all of these lies
all of these days
all of these cries

words come back
words come back
words come back to you
they come back to you
words come back
and haunt you someday

--inaudible phrase
you'll see our name
you'll never escape it
it's your name


Its past a month since last post. my oh my. I've been a bit busy, this lyric is a bit self explanatory, but i had to share it, it's SO awesome.

1905 - Voice

A voice is heard.
The sound draws you to yourself above the clatter of a world so cold.
From every direction, every other voice,
we're told what to think and what to believe.
Why do you leave my mind alone?
I can see what you're doing, no i'm not that naive.
Don't abuse my mind just 'cause you've ruined your own.
I wont let emptiness fill my heart.
A scream, a voice has strength that shatters lies.
A truth so simple, so often overlooked.
And when it is we way how we feel,
it is our voice that gives us strength that fills our hearts.
Listen to your voice.


This song is cool. 1905 are widely viewed as an emo/screamo band, but they are just as much an anarcho-punk band. I think these lyrics are about resisting against the thoughts that the government and its leaders are dictating to you, and that a free mind is stronger and will overcome the pressure.
Have fun, i love ya.

I Hate Myself - Kind of a long way down

Crawled out the window on the fourteenth floor.
Said, "i don't know," then didn't say anymore.
She used the window instead of the door.
Now I'm alone up on the fourteenth floor.
But I'm not high. I'm not high.
She said good-bye, and i don't know why.


Long time, no post.
This piece of lyrics is nice, to be honest, i always get a smile on when i hear the song. Nothing funny in a tragic story, right, but its the way the story is told, that brings up the cheer. The way Marburger with a frail voice sings "She used the window instead of the door." like she's just going out for a while, being ignorant or just not realizing the true event, is quite cute. Take care guys 'n gals.

Dag Nasty - All Ages Show

I understand you
you've got a problem
now understand me
it's your problem not mine
to find a reason, don't ask me
don't ask (anyone) for a reason to live your life
shake your head, left and right
like the old man who shows up here every night
what does he hear in this kind of music?
why don't you ask him?
find out what you need to know
all ages show
you haven't lived all there is to live
how old is old?
how old is old?
all ages show
I get the feeling that I've heard all this before
I spoke your words, I felt your feelings
but when I reached a dead end, I knew there was more
I guess I'm just too young to see it
but I've shorn* up some people
a little bit older
and they say the problems keep coming
but reasons to keep on trying keep growing
and they grow and they grow and they grow
all ages show


So, this lyric has been plastered in my head like post-it notes for quite some time now. Delicate, right? The lyrics, of course. This song is of course about age and music (and or culture). At first glance you might think that its actually targeted against older people. Well it is. But it might look like a getupcall to the older generations to still be active, yet i think, its about the problems about growing up, not understanding how it is going to be and all the problems commonly linked to the early years of ones life, and by that, i think its a getupcall for the youth (and youngest) to live their life to the fullest, and dont give a flying fuck about age.

TL;DR: Age discrimination sucks and age doesn't mean shit.

Saetia - The Burden Of Reflecting

lost gray pictures of my past stain greener pastures of my future
rememberance and recognition forces me to reconsider
I am seeking to regress and recreating what I've found
a new beginning torn away
I'm spiraling spiraling down
empty hands on the ends of these reaching arms need the touch of something real
year by year we seperate further
we are forgetting how to feel
for at the end of this long rope I hang in wait of fading echos
uncertainty haunts my everything
I look into tomorrow and I see nothing...
so tell me how it feels to be me
I've lost so much I cannot recall my identity
I would die for yesterday not caring where I need to go
reshape relationships back into what I used to know
tomorrow is so far and I no longer want to find a replacement for all these pictures that are lost in my mind


Yeah, i know it, i'm über cool for posting lyrics from a _totally_ unknown screamo band, (sarcasm included), but i just stumbled upon the lyrics again, and i thought i wanted to share it with you guys, in case you haven't heard it. (what's the probability?) Anyways, cheers, and have fun!

I Would Set Myself On Fire For You - So This Is Our Home

we cant keep ourselves still
our minds are so far away, from here.
as we dig our toes in the sand, and our bodies touch the cold sea.
see, thats when we say 'this is our home',
so take those family portraits off the walls.
cause thats not who we are.
we know there aint no one coming forth to carry us home.

together, we will walk these roads,
to hell with your streets of gold.
they're no longer real to me



This piece of lyrical masterart is easily one of the most beautiful written ever, imho. Listen to the song, its relaxing and very very nice.

Set Your Goals - Work In Progress

It's a revelation, a moment of clarity,
and I am trapped inside this moment deadlines are left to die
And I guess I am truly free.
My brain was spent I worried as I fell in knee deep
where consequences and circumstances suffocated and I could barely breathe.
And by all means, this rain should be bringing me down.
Seattle is keeping me in tune with just right now
and a song that tends to be so oddly timed.
The city is cold and miserable but I am not.
All we are is all we've started. All could be gone.

SO LET'S BEGIN!
I often wonder if I'll ever finish all I've started, and the answer I have found is NO.
No, I will never finish all that I have started because life is about doing, the process
And not the result. Life is about doing whether you want to or not.

MY LIFE!: A constant work in progress and I wouldn't have it any other way.
Take a look back. Is that what you wanted?
Chances are that it's not what was intended to be, because it's gonna be better than everything.
Everything, you will see, comes together in it's own ironic kind of way, so live in just today.
In my eyes I hold a vision in contradiction of what once existed.


One of my long time favorites. This song is so positive, i just love it. Lyrics says everything, so no long story.

November Coming Fire - Transgression

In Darkness we stand, divided we fall!
Breathe deep a mist so overwhelming, embrace tonight.
Exhale a life old and forgotten, come take my hand.
We fought side by side for our lives.
Forget what's old and withered!
Looking down with brand new eyes, godlike upon a fallen world.
Bitter hatred, or worse bitter love?
In season – weathered hearts.
We were born of night and misery.


I just found this band today, theyre totally fucking amazing. Check it out you guys. Do it.

Good Clean Fun - You're Only Punk Once

You ate and you smoked and you drank all your words
We all know it's true because of the rumors we've heard
You've grown up and moved on, you're ready to leave
But not a thing that you do can touch what I believe

So someone has gone and sold out punk rock
You know it's happened before so why all the shock?
It's so clear to see that it was never meant to be
And that's O.K., what they do now will not change me

It now seems so clear who could have guessed at the time
It was just like a miracle they turned from water to wine
Raising their glasses they say they feel fine
They've all turned their backs, but I will never turn mine

You're only punk once so you'd better do it right
Before you become the system that we all choose to fight
You say "nothing lasts forever we are wasting our time
We should not even try"
But I say I'll stay positive until the day I die


This lyric is awesome. The theme may be a tad bit used, but the result of if it here is über cool. Specially the last line. Posi up guys!
