Let It Die

Let It Die~Starset

 

I cut you into pieces
Searching for your imperfections
I had plans to make you whole
But all my threads couldn't stop the bleeding
There's nothing left,

But I'm not leaving
When all I know is you

I've been looking for a way
To bring you back to life
And if I could find a way,
Then I would bring you back tonight
I'd make you look,

I'd make you lie
I'd take the coldness from your eyes
But you told me,

If you love me,
Let it die

Your eyes stare right through me
Ignoring my failed attempts to
Breathe back life into your veins
But I can't start your cold heart beating
You're so far gone

But I'm not leaving
When all I know is you

I've been looking for a way
To bring you back to life
And if I could find a way,
I would bring you back tonight
I'd make you look,

I'd make you lie
I'd take the coldness from your eyes
But you told me,

If you love me
Let it die

And you left me more dead
Than you'll ever know
When you left me alone

 

I've been looking for a way
To bring you back to life
And if I could find a way,
I would bring you back tonight
I'd make you look,

I'd make you lie
I'd take the coldness from your eyes
But you told me,

If you love me
Let it die

Let it die

Let it die

Let it die

~Starset

 

 

I really like the way this song mixes the electronic parts of it with the alternative parts of it. While the beat and the background have a bit of an electronic feel, the vocals remind me of an alternative mix. With an obvious synth in the background on the chorus mixing with the guitar and drum beat and a bit of a deeper electronic buzz in some other parts it's sure to be a pleaser. It's catchy and while rather dark I do get this song stuck in my head quite frequently. Also, it's hard to tell what he's trying to express in this song. You could take it in the literal sense, where a person he loves has passed away and he's trying to bring said person back to life. However on the other hand it could have a completely different intention where it's really talking about the love between them dying, and he is trying to bring it back to life while she is trying to let it go, or let it die. He wants to save her and their love by fixing it and she just wants to let go. No matter how you interpret this song, it's a great listening experience.

 

 

Hope you enjoyed listening.

Who I Am Hates Who I've Been

Reliant K- Who I am Hates Who I've Been

I watched the proverbial sunrise

Coming up over the Pacific and

You might think I'm losing my mind,

But I will shy away from the specifics...

'Cause I don't want you to know where I am

'Cause then you'll see my heart

In the saddest state it's ever been.

This is no place to try and live my life.

Stop right there. That's exactly where I lost it.

See that line. Well I never should have crossed it.

Stop right there. Well I never should have said

That it's the very moment that

I wish that I could take back.

I'm sorry for the person I became.

I'm sorry that it took so long for me to change.

I'm ready to be sure I never become that way again

'cause who I am hates who I've been.

Who I am hates who I've been.

I talk to absolutely no one.

Couldn't keep to myself enough.

And the things bottled inside have finally begun

To create so much pressure that I'll soon blow up.

I heard the reverberating footsteps

Synching up to the beating of my heart,

And I was positive that unless I got myself together,

I would watch me fall apart.

And I can't let that happen again

'Cause then you'll see my heart

In the saddest state it's ever been.

This is no place to try and live my life.

Stop right there. That's exactly where I lost it.

See that line. Well I never should have crossed it.

Stop right there. Well I never should have said

That it's the very moment that

I wish that I could take back.

I'm sorry for the person I became.

I'm sorry that it took so long for me to change.

I'm ready to be sure I never become that way again

'cause who I am hates who I've been.

Who I am hates who I've been.

Who I am hates who I've been

And who I am will take the second chance you gave me.

Who I am hates who I've been

'Cause who I've been only ever made me...

So sorry for the person I became.

So sorry that it took so long for me to change.

I'm ready to be sure I never become that way again

'Cause who I am hates who I've been.

Who I am hates who I've been.

~Reliant K

This song is a great example of Alternative. With a fast paced chorus and beat it really shows off the emotion of the piece. It tells of someone who hurt someone he loved, and now he is trying to pull himself together and be a better person. He had to lose it to realize what he was doing, and then work on becoming that better person. I've been in this position more than once. Where I just needed to get away, pull myself together and change. Who I am today hates who I was. I've become a better person because of the mistakes I've made, and I hope you have learned from your mistakes as I have.

Hope you enjoyed listening.

Remind Me...

Remind Me

Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood

[Brad:]

We didn't care if people stared

We'd make out in a crowd somewhere

Somebody'd tell us to get a room

It's hard to believe that was me and you

Now we keep saying that we're okay

But I don't want to settle for good not great

I miss the way that it felt back then I wanna feel that way again

[Brad:] Been so long that you'd forget the way I used to kiss your neck

[Carrie:] Remind me, remind me

[Brad:] So on fire so in love. Way back when we couldn't get enough

[Carrie:] Remind me, remind me

[Carrie:]

Remember the airport dropping me off

We were kissing goodbye and we couldn't stop

[Brad:] I felt bad cause you missed your flight

[Carrie and Brad:] But that meant we had one more night

[Carrie:]

Do you remember how it used to be

We'd turn out the lights and we didn't just sleep

[Brad:] Remind me, baby, remind me

[Carrie:]

Oh, so on fire so in love

That look in your eyes that I miss so much

[Brad:] Remind me, baby, remind me

[Brad:] I wanna feel that way

[Carrie:] Yeah, I wanna hold you close

[Brad and Carrie]

Oh, if you still love me

Don't just assume I know

[Carrie:] Baby, remind me, remind me

[Carrie:] Do you remember the way it felt?

[Brad:] You mean back when we couldn't control ourselves

[Carrie:] Remind me

[Brad:] Yeah, remind me

[Carrie:]

All those things that you used to do

That made me fall in love with you

Remind me, oh, baby, remind me

[Brad:]

Yeah, you'd wake up in my old t-shirt

All those mornings I was late for work

Remind me

[Brad and Carrie] Oh, baby, remind me

[Carrie:] Oh, baby, remind me, baby, remind me

[Brad:] Yeah, you'd wake up in my old t-shirt

[Carrie:] Remind me, yeah, oh

[Brad:] Baby, remind me

This song is a classic country love song. It's about rekindling the flame they had when they first started dating and reminding each other just how much they love them. Great for anyone who feels this way about their relationship or just loves country love songs.

My boyfriend and I recently got back together, and then decided to be really close friends. But sometimes I wish he would remind me that he still loves me as much as he used to. And that he still wants me. I just feel that he's looking for a way out. I love him so much that I don't want to lose him. Baby, remind me.

Hope you enjoyed listening.

Whatever It Takes

Whatever It Takes- Lifehouse

A strangled smile fell from your face

It kills me that I hurt you this way

The worst part is that I didn't even know

Now there's a million reasons for you to go

But if you can find a reason to stay

I'll do whatever it takes

To turn this around

I know what's at stake

I know that I've let you down

And if you give me a chance

Believe that I can change

I'll keep us together

Whatever it takes

She said If we're gonna make this work

You gotta let me inside even though it hurts

Don't hide the broken parts that I need to see

She said like it or not it's the way it's gotta be

You gotta love yourself if you can ever love me

I'll do whatever it takes

To turn this around

I know what's at stake

I know that I've let you down

And if you give me a chance

And give me a break

I'll keep us together,

I know you deserve much better

But remember the time I told you the way that I felt

That I'd be lost without you and never find myself

Let's hold onto each other above everything else

Start over, start over

I'll do whatever it takes

To turn this around

I know what's at stake

I know that I've let you down

And if you give me a chance

Believe that I can change

I'll keep us together

Whatever it takes

This song is very near and dear to my heart lately, because I'm going through a situation it strongly applies to. It tells of a relationship that's seen hurt and someone was wronged. And he's saying that he realizes he hurt her, even though he didn't know it at the time. But he's trying to correct his mistake, he's willing to change for her. Because he loves her. And love can conquer all if you let it. And he's saying that he'll do whatever it takes to fix her broken heart and bring them together again. And that's exactly how I feel right now.

This song is a bit of an alternative feel with a sad love song motif. It's a good song for anyone who wants to make things right in their relationship, and who loves the other person enough to change for them.

My boyfriend recently left me. And he told me he still loves me, and that he needed to have some space because he can't interact with me normally because of it. He can't be with me because of things going on in his life, and I understand that. And I said some things I didn't mean, and I ended up driving him farther away. Now I would do anything to fix it. I would do anything to get him back because I still love him. And this song fits the situation perfectly, because I hurt him without knowing it, and I would do whatever it takes to fix it. But he won't speak to me now, and even though he left on semi good terms, I'm scared he won't love me when he comes back. And that's something that scares me to death. I love him so much, and I don't want to lose him forever. I'm sorry....

Hope you enjoyed listening.

"You said open your eyes and

I said I don't like surprises

You said surprise, you're up to your knees in the water

And don't have a life-vest

I know, I know, I know, but don't worry

'Cause I've got it figured out

You said jump in the boat, man

I said, no, you reach your hand

You said, the storms that will come

Will be more than enough and alone you cannot win

You know, you know, you know without hope

You'll only sink not swim

And the current here is stronger now

Than I remember

And I'm cryin' for you to help

Please, save me

When I feel like I am drifting away

Sinking down, the sands are shifting today

I'm about to lose my way

You anchor, anchor me down

Looking out, the skies are turning to gray

All around, the tide is pulling away

Just about to lose my way

You anchor, anchor me down

You said, whatever happens

Don't get caught in the rapids

Hold on, I'm over the edge

And I'm reachin' for help 'cause I'm caught in the deep end

I know, I know, I know what you said

But I'm in over my head

You said, I'm not alone here

I said, throw me a rope and

I've had more than enough of the rain

And the cold and I wanna give up

And I know, I know, I know without hope

I'll only sink, not swim

And the current here is stronger now

Than I remembered

And I'm cryin' for you to help

Please, save me

When I feel like I am drifting away

Sinking down, the sands are shifting today

I'm about to lose my way

You anchor, anchor me down

Looking out, the skies are turning to gray

All around, the tide is pulling away

Just about to lose my way

You anchor, anchor me down

And the current here is stronger now

Than I remember

When I cry for you to help

You save me

And the current here is stronger now

Than I remember

And I'm cryin' out for you to help

And you save me

When I feel like I am drifting away

Sinking down, the sands are shifting today

I'm about to lose my way

You anchor, anchor me down

Looking out, the skies are turning to gray

All around, the tide is pulling away

Just about to lose my way

You anchor, anchor me down"

~Satellites and Sirens

I really like this song because it brings together a mix of electronic and rock, and it fits. It also has that alternative rock feel to it. It's a great mix of feelings as well. It conveys being lost and then found by someone you love or that is close to you. Just when you're about to fail, to fall, they swoop in and save you. 

But the reason that I really like this song is that it reminds me of myself. It says, "Just about to lose my way, you anchor, anchor me down." and that sounds like me and my boyfriend, Tiger. Just when I'm about to lose myself, lose my way, he pulls me back, and he saves me. So I connect with this song on a deeper level than just music, I relate to it. I think that's what makes a really great song. When you relate to it. When you connect to it on a deeper level than just sounding good. And some people don't realize that.

Hope you enjoyed listening.

What is Left

Demon Hunter

What Is Left

"I Saw You From My Window

I Let You Crawl Inside

Your Face Became My Shadow

Your Voice Became My Guide

Oh, What Is Left

I Take What I Can Get

And Black Out All the Rest

What Is Left

Some Words That I Forget

And More I Regret…

I Came Here Alone

I Thought You’d Gone

I Left You In Bones at the End of the Road…

I Came Here Alone

The Long Way Home

I Left You In Bones at the End of the Road…

I’m Trying to Evade You

I’m Trying to be Kind

One Solemn Night I’ll Take You

Down the Barrel of My Gun

Oh, What Is Left

I Take What I Can Get

And Black Out All the Rest

What Is Left

Some Words That I Forget

And More I Regret…

I Came Here Alone

I Thought You’d Gone

I Left You In Bones at the End of the Road…

I Came Here Alone

The Long Way Home

I Left You In Bones at the End of the Road…

I Came Here Alone

I Thought You’d Gone

I Left You In Bones at the End of the Road…

I Came Here Alone

I Came Here Alone

I Left You In Bones at the End of the Road…

I Came Here Alone

I Left You In Bones at the End of the Road"

Demon Hunter is generally a Screamo band, but they have a few songs that appeal to people who don't listen to Screamo. This is one of them. It's completely devoid of screaming, but it's still one of their great songs. It's an interesting song with no real clear meaning, but what I divine from it is that it's still full of emotions, with pain and anger up front and center. It's hard to tell you what this song means, but I guess it will have a different meaning for everyone. It tells me he wanted some solitude, but someone was trying to follow him and he would like to kill/ killed them. I don't know, tell me your meaning to it. I'd be interested to see what you come up with.

Hope you enjoyed listening.

America

Duece

America

"They wanna see blood,

They wanna see hate,

Like a needle in your veins,

A sickness with no name,

In a world that's insane,

Was America to blame?

When you're praying for a change to a God with no face!

They wanna see blood,

They wanna see hate,

Like a fucking AK,

It's going up in flames,

In a world that's insane,

Was America to blame?

When you're praying for a change to a God with no face!

You can't tell me what to say,

Because I've got one religion,

And I've got one decision,

It's a big fuck you!

I keep spitting in your face,

Every month and every day,

Every time you hear my name,

My middle fingers up too.

You think I own you,

But I ain't go no room for these hoes,

Cause they ain't no good,

I ain't living by your rules.

You're getting older,

Full of liquor you're blowing,

And you wanna be noticed,

But you're dying so slowly.

So when they point the finger,

You flip one back,

And say fuck that.

FUCK THAT!

So when they point the finger,

We'll flip ours back,

And say fuck that.

FUCK THAT!

They wanna see blood,

They wanna see hate,

Like a needle in your veins,

A sickness with no name,

In a world that's insane,

Was America to blame?

When you're praying for a change to a God with no face!

They wanna see blood,

They wanna see hate,

Like a fucking AK,

It's going up in flames,

In a world that's insane,

Was America to blame?

When you're praying for a change to a God with no face!

Eenie meenie minie moe,

Each one of us gonna know,

That your time is coming soon,

Cause there ain't enough room,

In this world for us two.

Yeah, I hate to break the news,

But I'ma break it in this music,

To let the world know who,

Who you've been using,

Who you're abusing,

It's the suits you've being fooling.

But you know that you're useless,

So he's been acting so ruthless,

Deep inside you're just ruined,

Cause I keep on moving here,

To show you the truth bitch!

So when they point the finger,

You flip one back,

And say fuck that.

FUCK THAT!

So when they point the finger,

We'll flip ours back,

And say fuck that.

FUCK THAT!

They wanna see blood,

They wanna see hate,

Like a needle in your veins,

A sickness with no name,

In a world that's insane,

Was America to blame?

When you're praying for a change to a God with no face!

They wanna see blood,

They wanna see hate,

Like a fucking AK,

It's going up in flames,

In a world that's insane,

Was America to blame?

When you're praying for a change to a God with no face!

WHY CAN'T YOU DIE? [x2]

MOTHERFUCKER JUST DIE [x2]

NO MORE GOODBYES [x2]

JUST FUCKING DIE! [x2]

They wanna see blood,

They wanna see hate,

Like a needle in your vein,

A sickness with no name,

In a world that's insane,

Was America to blame?

When you're praying for a change to a God with no face!

They wanna see blood,

They wanna see hate,

Like a fucking AK,

It's going up in flames.

So when they point the finger,

We'll flip ours back,

And say fuck that.

FUCK THAT!"

This song is really hardcore, as far as most of us are concerned. Most would probably find it offensive, but I like it. It conveys a sort of anger toward our society that says "I'm not going with the flow anymore. I want to be my own person. Fuck you people." With a minimal amount of screaming but plenty of hard rock, any metal fan would most likely appreciate this song. It conveys such a strong sense of anger that most of us would appreciate, because we feel that way, too. I find this song to say what I cannot say for myself, and I think we need that rude awakening once in awhile.

It's explaining that society today, especially in America, is so fucked up that we barely function anymore. I don't know how many of you will agree with me on this, but that's how I see it. Please keep any political comments to yourself, no one really cares. I think people these days are just fucked up period, and this song conveys that feeling.

Hope you enjoyed listening.
