"I am not afraid of God I am afraid of Man," Savages, Marina and the Diamonds

"I remember how i spent the 23rd feeling six feet under and i'm thirty thousand feet in the air. Chasing that sun down so far east I'm westbound feeling like the edge of this world is near." Wake Up by The Eden Project. I just really like how the concepts contradict themselves, that's it,

And I don't want the world to see me / 'Cause I don't think they'd understand / When everything's made to be broken / I just want you to know who I am Iris, Goo Goo Dolls
Les gens me dissent / "L'espoir fait vivre" / Comment me faire vivre / Je suis un zombie* Zombie, Maître Gims
*Rough translation: People tell me / "Hope keeps one alive" / How can I be(come) alive / I am a zombie (Sorry, the lyrics don't translate very well to English)

You flew away
Before I could say
Taken away before your time
Up into the clouds I can't see you from here And I don't expect to be able to see you It doesn't matter how many nights have passed I still can't meet you
Now you’re gone
You left your song
What can I do with this pain? What song can I hum to myself?
I hope you’re smiling down
Now you’re gone
You’re really gone Since the paths we should take Are already differing
Face the truth
I will just sing for you
It always happens without warning After everything is abruptly taken from us Our tears of grief can overflow
Time just left you behind
And I don’t know why
How can I accept
Something I don’t understand? -Smiling down, ONE OK ROCK
I really love this song. Also, more translated lyrics! By me!! Yay!

"Shades of the whales in the tainted deep Maimed and impaled in their pain they sleep The faded and frail in the laneways weep Broken souls in mourning" -Distant Honor by Miracle of Sound Also all the lyrics of The Natural Heart by Miracle of Sound (again) "A fading neon gleam casts shadows over stone The city’s shining skin is shedding from the bone
I’ve gone from pillar to pariah in the slide In seas of doubt I swim against the turning tide
Broken bodies line the walls Midas empires crash and fall Wings that melt when we try to soar Close my eyes as I descend To the gold rush at it’s end Take me back to before...
This isn’t human anymore Look into the natural heart Following the beat of the chemical This isn’t human anymore Tearing the connections apart Crawling at the feet of our pedestals Are you still human at the core?
Pushing the reflex Pressure the defects Breaking down is inevitable Spraining the rivets Straining the limits Breaking down is inevitable
The ghosts of order dot the eye and the tilt the three I stalk the trinity into conspiracy
They painted masterworks and set them all alight The scars of persecution always harden into spite
Broken bodies line the walls Midas empires crash and fall Wings that melt when we try to soar Close my eyes as I descend To the gold rush at its end Take me back to before...
This isn’t human anymore Look into the natural heart Following the beat of the chemical This isn’t human anymore Tearing the connections apart Crawling at the feet of our pedestals Are you still human at the core? Look into the natural heart don’t let it turn to stone Are you still human at the core? Look into the natural heart don’t let it turn to stone
Pushing the reflex Pressure the defects Breaking down is inevitable Spraining the rivets Straining the limits Breaking down is inevitable"

every Jim Papoulis song yo (ok I'm biased cause I've been singing music by him since elementary school and have met him twice...but his stuff is the bomb.com!)
Here's one of my favorites - Gnothi Safton. (It's in Greek, so I'm including both the Greek text and the translation).
gnothi safton - know thyself zoi - life eudaimonia - bliss eeya gnosi, eeya sofia - hello knowledge, hello wisdom omorfia - beauty ayotita, synesi, tharros - holiness, prudence, courage ethike arete - moral virtue dikyosini - justice xero eemai zontanos - I know I am alive dose moo dikyosini - give me justice dose moo zoi - give me life
And yes, it's where my screenname is from...that's my favorite line. Also it's accompanied by boomwhackers so what more needs to be said. Yes, there's really an instrument called boomwhackers.
Here's my Choral Music Experience performance, summer 2015. (I'm on the left at the end closest to the boomwhacker people in a red t-shirt). I'll post more lyrics later cause I have tons of favorites.

"I think I broke up with my boyfriend today, and I don't really care, I've got worse problems" - Carly Rae Jepsen, Boy Problems
"All that loving must've been lacking something if I got bored trying to figure you out." - Fiona Apple, Periphery
"Come on home. The poppies are all grown knee-deep by now. Blossoms all have fallen, and the pollen ruins the plow. Peonies nod in the breeze, and while they wetly bow with hydrocephalitic listlessness, ants mop up their brow. And everything with wings is restless, aimless, drunk and dour; butterflies and birds collide at hot, ungodly hours. And my clay-colored motherlessness rangily reclines — Come on home, now! All my bones are dolorous with vines." - Joanna Newsom, Emily
"Two headlights shine through the sleepless night And I will get you, and get you alone Your name has echoed through my mind And I just think you should, think you should know That nothing safe is worth the drive and I would Follow you, follow you home..." - Taylor Swift, Treacherous + Pretty much the Lord's entire discography

nice mcr there m8 is it bad i sang along with that as i read it lol
anyways, I have a lot of favourites, and some of them are cheesy but deal with it
"Please, don't take this out on me, because you're the only thing that's keeping me alive. And I don't wanna wait for the down set date 'cause, I'd rather end it all tonight, If I mean anything to you I'm sorry but I've made up my mind!" -Bulls In The Bronx by Pierce The Veil
"Look alive sunshine. 109 in the sky but the pigs won't quit! You're here with me, Dr. Death Defying. I'll be your surgeon, your proctor, your helicopter Pumpin' out the slaughtermatic sounds to keep you live. A system faliure for the masses Anti-matter for the master plan... Louder than God's revolver and twice as shiny! This one's for all you rock 'n rollers... All you crash queens and motorbabies LISTEN UP!" -Look Alive Sunshine/Na Na Na by My Chemical Romance " And we'll love again We'll laugh again. We'll cry again and we'll dance again And it's better off this way So much better off this way I can't clean the blood off the sheets in my bed!" -I Never Told You What I Do For A Living by My Chemical Romance " It's not me, it's you Actually, it's the taxidermy of you and me Untie the balloons from around my neck and ground me I'm just a racehorse on the track Send me back to the glue factory Always thought I'd float away And never come back But I've got enough miles on my card To fly the boys home on my own But you know me: I like being all alone And keeping you all alone And the charts are boring And the kids are snoring And my egos in a sling You say you're not listening and I said I'm wishing And I said... I said!" -20 Dollar Nosebleed by Fall Out Boy " Hey! Teacher! Leave them kids alone!" -Another Brick In The Wall by Pink Floyd " What's the worst that I could say? Things are better if I stay So long and goodnight So long and goodnight!" -Helena by My Chemical Romance i cri evrytiem
