Carry Me Home - The Killers // From Up On Poppy Hill
made in 2013
Let me out
Don’t tell me everything
Started out like any other day
Must have gave the wrong impression
Don’t you understand where I belong?
I’m not the one
Stand again
They say nothing comes for free
And that’s the truth, I’ve been living in a fantasy
Slip and slide
A head trip heaven
Self-denial such a wonderful and powerful thing
Well I’m not the one
The morning dove sings with two broken wings
Carry me home
I’m not afraid
The stars in my eyes were shimmering lights
Carry me home
Don’t let me fade away
Stop the press
The kid’s light is growing dim
It took a month long slide
Then the world came caving in
When you self-destruct
You wind up looking for a glimmer of hope
But the writing’s on the wall
I’m not the one
Just how thick is your skin?
Just how sharp are your teeth?
Oh, you’ve got a lot to learn
Is there somewhere else I can win?
Is there something else to start over again?
From the summit's edge, to the cutting room floor
I will be afraid no more (no more)
Dustland Fairytale - The Killers // Howl's Moving Castle
made in 2013
A Dustland fairytale beginning with just another white trash county kiss
In '61, long brown hair and foolish eyes
He looked just like you'd want him to, some kind of slick chrome American prince
A blue jean serenade
Moon River what'd you do to me?
I don't believe you
Saw Cinderella in a party dress but
She was lookin' for a night gown
I saw the devil wrappin' up his hands
He's gettin' ready for the showdown
I saw the minute that I turned away
I got my money on a pawn tonight
A change came in disguise of revelation, set his soul on fire
She said she always knew he'd come around
And the decades disappear like sinkin' ships, but we persevere
God gives us hope, but we still fear what we don't know, the mind is poison
Castles in the sky sit stranded vandalized
We're drawbridges closin'
Saw Cinderella in a party dress
But she was lookin' for a nightgown
I saw the devil wrappin' up his hands
He's gettin' ready for the showdown
I saw the ending when they turned the page
I threw my money and I ran away
Straight to the valley of the great divide
Out where the dreams all hide
Out where the wind don't blow
Out here the good girls die
And the sky won't snow
Out here the bird don't sing
Out here the field don't grow
Out here the bell don't ring
Out here the bell don't ring
Out here the good girls die
Now Cinderella don't you go to sleep
It's such a bitter form of refuge
Oh, don't you know the kingdom's under siege
And everybody needs you
Is there still magic in the midnight sun
Or did you leave it back in sixty-one
In the cadence of a young man's eyes
Out where the dreams all hide
Be still
Go on to bed
Nobody knows what lies ahead
Life is short to say the least
We're in the belly of the beast
Be still, wild and young
Long may your innocence reign
Like shells on a shore
May your limits be unknown
May your efforts be your own
If you ever feel you can't take it anymore
Don't break character
You've got a lot of heart
Is this real or just a dream
Rise up like the sun
Labor till the work is done
Be still
One day you'll lead
Fearlessness on your sleeve
When you come back, tell me what did you see
Was there something out there for me
Be still
Close your eyes
Soon enough, you'll be on your own, steady and straight
And if they drag you through the mud
It doesn't change what's in your blood
Over rock, over chain, over trap, over plane
When they knock you down
Don't break character
You've got a lot of heart
Is this real or just a dream
Be still, be still
Be still, be still
Over rock and chain
Over sunset plane
Over trap and snare
When you're in too deep
In your wildest dreams
In your made up schemes
When they knock you down
When they knock you down
Down by the river, he found me
I was a little girl, he found me
The trees were all in blue around us
Soft leaves were hugging all of me, when they found us
Started slow, cared to love
So that I'd be the only one to know
What he meant when he said…
You are the loveliest creature that I ever did see
Well you are the loveliest creature that I ever did see
I'll keep you with me
Oh I'll keep you with me
Keep you with me
Keep you with me
The sun was sitting down, beside us
There was no one around, to find us
The water held my feet, beneath me
He put his hand up to my face and he held me
Touch your skin, to begin
How we learnt to let each other in
In his way, he would say…
You are the loveliest creature that I ever did see
Well you are the loveliest creature that I ever did see
I'll keep you with me
Oh I'll keep you with me
We came together
Oh we came together
Under the blue
Under the blue
My Songs Know What You Did in the Dark - Fall Out Boy // Hakuouki
made in 2013
B-B-Be careful making wishes in the dark, dark
Can't be sure when they've hit their mark
And besides in the mean-meantime, I'm just
Dreaming of tearing you apart
I'm in the deep details with the devil
You know, the world can never get me on my level
I just gotta get you out the cage, I'm a young lover's rage
Gonna need a spark to ignite
But my songs know what you did in the dark
So light 'em up, up, up
Light 'em up, up, up
Light 'em up, up, up
I'm on fire
Well all the writers keep writing what they write
Somewhere another pretty vein just died (Died)
I've got the scars from tomorrow and I wish you could see
That you're the antidote to everything except for me
Through a constellation of tears on your lashes
Burn everything you love then burn the ashes
In the end everything collides, my childhood
Spat back out the monster that you see
Somewhere Up There - Passion Pit // Neon Genesis Evangelion
made in 2019
tw// flashing images and violent content
Baby, I get so lost
I saw you falling apart and I thought it was all my fault
But now you sing
Oh, how you sing!
With your voice like an angel attached to a broad pair of wings
But that’s the point
Because once we joined
The crowd started screaming and we couldn’t hear over the noise
You spoke and said—
(But in my head, I kept passing the blame for excuses to help me tread)
Oh, caught in the middle of deceptions
Just to get a part of the others, our authority figures
That would look like the others
The truths and the liars that were holding us both to the flames
So, now I cry -- I’m only trying to turn our hell to reality
And it’s so divine
Because the pain
And the time it takes to end all of the talking
And finally meet on a plane
And up there somewhere
And up there somewhere
[Spoken]
"You know when children are very little, the child-mother, or nurturer, let's call her mother. The mother bond is developed- from day one, starts real early and continues...
There are three fundamental attachments that you can be:
Secure, ambivalent
Or distant ...in your attachment -- in other words, insecure in your attachment. So, um..."
I walked across an empty land
I knew the pathway like the back of my hand
I felt the earth beneath my feet
Sat by the river and it made me complete
Oh, simple thing, where have you gone?
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on
So tell me when you're gonna let me in
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin
I came across a fallen tree
I felt the branches of it looking at me
Is this the place we used to love?
Is this the place that I've been dreaming of?
And if you have a minute, why don't we go
Talk about it somewhere only we know?
This could be the end of everything
So why don't we go somewhere only we know?
Where We Belong - Passion Pit // Evangelion: 3.0 You Can (Not) Redo
made in 2014
It's gotten cold in here
But a solemn warmth draws near
And with a gentle touch of these burdens
And such fears are wiped clear (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
Who says you ought to stay?
How's this the easier way?
It's far from giving up
Cowards never say enough is enough (Is enough)
And then I'm lifted up
Out of the crimson tub
The bath begins to drain
And from the floor he prays away all my pain
Who says that God exists?
We kiss the icons of myths, but
Well, I believe in you
Do you believe in me, too? Gabriel?
All the things you can't control
Should never destroy the love one holds
I found a place
I found a place
I found a place where we belong
Never did I think I'd be lifted to whitest clouds
Never did I ever think I'd find out all the things I found
It's hard to keep on living when your heart weighs 'bout a million pounds
All I ever wanted was to be happy and make you proud
Aggressively, we all defend the role we play
Regrettably, time's come to send you on your way
We've seen it all, bonfires of trust, flash floods of pain
It doesn't really matter, don't you worry, it'll all work out
No, it doesn't even matter, don't you worry, that ain't what it's all about
We hope you enjoyed your stay
It's good to have you with us
Even if it's just for the day
We hope you enjoyed your stay
Outside, the sun is shinin'
Seems like heaven ain't far away
