It may be better to move on and to let life just carry on
And I may be wrong
Still, I'll try
Cause it's better to love whether you win or lose or die
It's better to love whether you win or lose or die
It's better to love and I will love you until I die
– The Graveyard Near the House, The Airborne Toxic Event
My God, " he said, "What did I do To make you wanna watch me bleed?"/And I feel sick tonight, I feel just like/The dancing flame on the funeral light/And I'm not sure if I want you to save me/And I'd be less uptight if I knew the sight of/Blood was just a weakness and/Not the whole reason that you made me/'Cause sometimes, I think it is
"A sad anger, why are we the ones chosen for sacrifice, to god, a higher power, whatever, was there any reason for my existence beyond hurting me. I'll be honest, I got really into this song while doing a project on the story of the binding of isaac and it just hits me, the betrayal of a son by a father for what? Why was abrahams faith more important than the life of isaac? To god and his father?"
JDNT (Glass Animals)
Please, it's not okay/Oh, can't you feel your dirty face?/Oh, don't it leave that filthy taste?/Oh, when you squeeze that life untamed?
"It feels like the utter despair of not wanting to do something but being unable to stop, succumbing to an addiction or metaphorical death (like spiritually i guess?) basically the ultimate downfall moment but you start to enjoy it in a twisted way as you go in deeper and deeper"
Once again pardon the messy apartment and also the fact that I am in desperate need of a haircut. Just felt like putting this out there because it was fun and I don't care how bad the video/audio quality is. Hope you like it! Will probably post more covers/originals, once again, whenever I feel like lmao <3
all these songs are love song, just love at times can make you feel like shit, so you write a string of words down, it's better if theres some truth in it.....the truth is hard to admit, i've never known love this is just my best guess.
The Airborne Toxic Event just announced their next album is coming out in August, and they're doing a US tour this fall. Unfortunately there are no Canadian dates listed, but I've requested a week off work in October and am strongly considering heading to the US tour date nearest to my Canadian city.
I've seen them twice now - once in Berlin when I happened to get lucky and discover they were playing the same night I arrived in the city, jet-lagged and sleep deprived. I don't remember making it back to my hotel that night, and I sat on the floor of the tiny concert venue near the old Tempelhof Airport and dozed between the opener and the band themselves.
The second time I saw them was in Toronto. It was my first trip since the start of the pandemic and it felt so good to be experiencing a live performance again.
People who know me well on here are aware of how deep my love for them goes, and even if I say I'm still just considering taking the trip, I think we all know I'll be going to see them for a third time this fall. 💜
And I only just learned how to stand like a man
I've got 25 years of running instead
How could I see the ground at my feet
The truth is to me that I was caught in the storm
That I wasn't alone
I can only say these things to you while you’re sleeping
I hear the hum from the wires, the sounds of the morning creeping
I lie awake and pretend you can hear me
You tell me that you’re scared that you’re turning into your mother
I feel myself turn into my father
We could lie to each other like they do and say we’re so happy
It’s easy when you’re young and you still want it so badly
And I feel my heart pounding
And I think I might scream
I can tell you that you’re all I’ve ever wanted, dear
I can utter every word you’ve ever hoped to hear
I shudder when I think that I might not be here forever, forever, forever
In the night you whisper like a ghost and you look so shaken
You're so quiet and small and you tell me you want to be taken
I just never think of you as the kind of girl who would say that
And you suddenly seem like some faceless thing in my grasp
With your eyes so wide, your face aglow
It's the face of someone I don't know
I can tell that you’re all I’ve ever wanted, dear
I can utter every word you’ve ever hoped to hear
I shudder when I think that I might not be here forever, forever, forever
And all I can think is that it must be a kind of rebellion
To arm your fears like soldiers and slay them
I can tell that you’re all I’ve ever wanted, dear
Through the din of your breathing while you're sleeping here
You wake and you ask me if I'm gonna be here forever, forever, forever
Your face so twisted and your eyes alight
I want to tell you I can change it when you cry at night
But I'd be lying
Love is defying
