Btd - “the road is long, we carry on, try to have fun in the meantime”

”Everybody knows that I’m the best/a mess”

I think these lyrics encapsulate my personality. I included Your Girl lyrics for UV because it just feels so right for me at this moment in time. 

[Surf Noir 190,676]

sirens - "i had a dream when i was young, i dreamt our lives were going to be fun, we were always waiting to live"

 

AKA - "in the name of higher consciousness, i let the best man i know go, 'cause it's to love and be loved, but i'd rather to know all you can know, said it's nice to love, and be loved, but i'd rather, know what god knows"

 

born to die - "lost, but now i am found, i can see, but once i was blind, i was so confused as a little child, tried to take what i could get, scared that i couldn't find, all of the answers, honey"

ultraviolence - "blue hydrangea, cold cash divine, cashmere cologne, and white sunshine, red racing cars, sunset and vine, the kids were young and pretty, where have you been, where did you go? those summer nights seem long ago, and so is the girl, you used to call, the queen of new york city"

 

honeymoon - "dreaming away your life"

 

lust for life - "i want to leave, i'll probably stay another year, it's hard to leave when absolutely nothing's clear"

 

norman fucking rockwell! - ?

 

chemtrails over the country club - "summer, summer's almost gone, we were talking 'bout life, we were sitting outside 'til dawn, but i would still go back, if i could do it all again, i thought, because it made me feel, made me feel like a god"

 

blue banisters - "you know i'm not that girl, you know i'll never be, maybe just the way we're different, could set me free"

 

ocean boulevard (the song) - "lennon in the back, whisperin' in my ear, baby, you can thrive, but i can't"

[Fingertips 72,117]

AKA

In the name of higher consciousness
I let the best man I knew go
'Cause it's nice to love and be loved
But it's better to know all you can know
Said it's nice to love and be loved
But I'd rather know what God knows

 

Born to Die

We were two kids, just tryin' to get out
Lived on the dark side of the American dream
We would dance all night, play our music loud
When we grew up, nothing was what it seemed

 

Paradise

I hear the birds on the summer breeze
I drive fast
I am alone at midnight
Been trying hard not to get into trouble
But I, I've got a war in my mind

 

Ultraviolence

My father's love was always strong
My mother's glamour lives on and on
Yet still inside, I felt alone
For reasons unknown to me

 

Honeymoon

Well, I lost myself when I lost you

But I still got jazz when I've got the blues
I lost myself and I lost you too
And I still get trashed, honey, when I hear your tunes

 

Lust for Life

Change is a powerful thing, people are powerful beings
Tryin' to find the power in me to be faithful
Change is a powerful thing, I feel it comin' in me
Maybe by the time Summer's done, I'll be able
To be honest, capable
Of holdin' you in my arms without lettin' you fall
When I don't feel beautiful or stable
Maybe it's enough to just be where we are

 

Norman Fucking Rockwell

Catch a wave and take in the sweetness
Think about it, the darkness, the deepness
All the things that make me who I am

 

Chemtrails Over the Country Club

Summer, summer's almost gone
We were talking about life, we were sitting outside 'til dawn
But I would still go back
If I could do it all again, I'd fly
Because it made me feel, made me feel like a god

 

Blue Banisters

What I can promise is I'll lie down
Like a bed of wildflowers
And I'll always make the sheets
Smell like gardenias wild at your feet
And I nourish you hazily

Us having the same Chemtrails, Paradise, and AKA lyrics 

[Let the Light In 15,617]

Each line represents what was going through my mind or which lyric is speaking about me at that time:

 

BTD: "feet don't fail me now, take me to the finish line"

P: "I've got a war in my mind"

UV: "i can't fix him, can't make him better"
H: "it's not one of those phases I'm going through or just a song, it's not one of them"

LFL: "I'd be lying if I said I wasn't sick of it"
NFR: "changing like the weather, oh, that's so like you"
COCC: "It's beautiful how this deep normality settles down over me"
BB: "I promise that nothing will burn"

 

My redemption arc is coming with Let The Light In, I can feel it 

[Super Movie 50,398]

Sirens: "Lately I've been thinking about making changes, it's been on my mind for some time and I'm anxious"

 

AKA: "I didn't know it would come to this, but that's what happens when you're on your own and you're all right with letting nice things go"

 

BTD: "Sometimes love is not enough and the road gets tough, I don't know why" 

 

Paradise: "I am alone at midnight. Been trying hard not to get into trouble, but I've got a war in my mind" 

 

Ultraviolence: "The power of youth is on my mind. Sunset, small town, I'm out of time"

 

Honeymoon: "I put the radio on, hold you tight in my mind, isn't strange that you're not here with me. I'm putting all the lights on and the television. Trying to transmit, can you hear me?"

 

Lust for Life: "Who am I to wanna try? But change is a powerful thing, people are powerful beings, trying to find the power in me to be faithful. Change is a powerful thing, I feel it comin' in me. Maybe by the time summer's done, I'll be able to be honest, capable of holding you in my arms without letting you fall" 

 

NFR: "Hope is a dangerous thing for a woman with my past. There's a new revolution, a loud evolution that I saw. Born of confusion and quiet collusion of which mostly I've known. A modern day woman with a weak constitution, 'cause I've got monsters still under my bed that I could never fight off" 

 

Chemtrails: "But I would still go back, if I could do it all again, I thought … It kind of makes me feel like maybe I was better off" 

 

Blue Banisters: "I've been running on stardust alone for so long. I wouldn't know what hot fire was" 

 

Ocean Boulevard (so far): " When's it gonna be my turn? Don't forget me" 

 

I feel like this makes my mental state very obvious 

[mssainttropez 13,549]

SIRENS: “Lately I’ve been thinking about making changes and it’s been in my mind for some time and I’m anxious”
AKA: “the voice of nirvana says ‘come as you are’ and I will” 

BTD: “dark and lonely I need somebody to hold me” or “feet don’t fail me now” or “the road is long we carry on try to have fun in the meantime”

P: “I’m tired of feeling like I’m fucking crazy”

UV: “they judge me like a picture book by the colors like they forgot to read”

HM: “you could be a bad motherfucker but that don’t make you a man” or “dreaming away your life”

LFL: “something separates me from other people”

NFR: “you took my sadness out of context” or “a gatekeeper careless” or “I’ve got monsters under my bed I could never fight off”

COCC: “talk to me in poems and songs” or “it kind of makes me feel like I was better off”

BB: “if things ever go wrong just know this is your song and we love you”

DYKTADUOB: “don’t forget me”

 

Clearly it was hard for me to choose just one for each album 

[Florida Dark 1,222]

aka: "one, two, make it fun don't trust anyone"

bb: "i didn't even like myself, or love the life i had"

[GPSOTSOMFWHDSF 1,055]

This just made me really depressed lol 

 

AKA

Palm trees in black and white

You are a junkie on your window smiling wide

 

BTD

Relying on the kindness of strangers
Tying cherry knots, smiling, doing party favours

 

Paradise

Let me put on a show for you daddy

 

UV

All those special times I spent with you, my love
They don't mean shit compared to all your drugs

 

HM

God knows I loved
God know I lied
God knows I lost
God gave me life
And God knows I tried

 

LFL

Taking all my medicine to take my thoughts away

I'm getting on that aeroplane, leaving my old man again

I hope that I come back one day

To tell you that I really changed

 

NFR

Spilling my guts with the Bowery Bums
Is the only love I've ever known

 

COTCC

I only mention it because it was such a scene

And I felt seen.

BB

Heroin gold in my veins and you in my thoughts
I'm on the freeway racing at a million and I just can’t stop

 

[sunset9blvd 58]

Sirens

And my momma she would say that I deceived you
But that's the only way I knew how to begin

 

Aka

Said it's nice to love and be loved
But I'd rather know what God knows

 

Btd

Can you picture it? Babe, that life we could've lived
 

Paradise

I pretend I'm not hurt
And go about the world like I'm having fun

 

Uv

And if you call, I'll run, run, run
If you change your mind, I'll come, come, come

 

Hm

It's not easy for me to talk about
I have heavy heartstrings

 

Lfl

And I'd be lyin' if I kept hidin'
The fact that I can't deal
And that I've been dyin' for somethin' real

 

Nfr

And who I am is a big-time believer
That people can change, but you don't have to leave her

 

Cotcc

We keep changing all the time
The best ones lost their minds
So I'm not gonna change
I'll stay the same

 

Bb

I've been running on stardrip

IV's for so long

 

 

This is so cute 

[American Bottom 16,237]

AKA - In the name of higher consciousness, I let the best man I knew go

 

BTD - All my dreams and all the lights mean nothing without you

 

UV: yet still inside I felt alone for reasons unknown to me

 

HM: I lost myself when I lost you, but I still got jazz

 

LFL: I wanna leave, I'll probably stay another year. It's hard to leave when absolutely nothings clear

 

NFR: You moved to California, but its just a state of mind. It turns out everywhere you go, you take yourself. That's not a lie

 

COCC: I would still go back, if I could it all again...I'd fly. Because it made me feel like a God.

 

BB: I try not to hold back, but it seems either way it makes you mad. So I'll be who I'll be and if you think that's cool, I'll take you back  (this one right here brings me to my knees)

 

[Mer 53,220]

AKA: "all right you caught me, I don't play a good guitar"

UV: "yet still inside, i felt alone, for reasons unknown to me" 

 

HM: "it's not fashionable to love me" 

 

LFL: "i hope i'll come back one day, and tell you that I really changed" 

 

NFR: "they mistook my kindness for weakness" 

 

COTCC: "nobody's son, nobody's daughter" 

 

BB: "and if this is the end, I want a boyfriend, someone to eat ice cream with and watch television" 

[West Coast 44,956]

AKA: Cause it's nice to love and be loved, but it's better to know all you can know.

 

Born to Die: Heaven is a place on earth with you.

 

Paradise: I hear the birds on the summer breeze I drive fast, I am alone at midnight.

 

Ultraviolence: They judge me like a picture book. By the colours, like they forgot to read.

 

Honeymoon: Hoes with lies akin to me.

 

Lust for Life: 

There's no more chasing rainbows and hoping for an end to them
Their arches are illusions, solid at first glance
But then you try to touch them
There's nothing to hold on to 
The colours used to lure you in 
And put you in a trance 

 

Norman Fucking Rockwell: But nobody warns you before the fall.

 

Chemtrails over the Country Club: 

Summer, summer's almost gone
We were talking about life, we were sitting outside 'til dawn

 

Blue Banisters: 

God, I wish I was with my father
He could see us in all our splendour
All the things I couldn't want for him
