Hold in your last breath and stare
Assure me your metronome's left arm stick shift
Is stuck on the right words in your ear
Did you hear me loud and clear, in sight and out of mind?
Cautiously avoiding the cracks
Not to disturb your steadied-arm straight line
The facts before a climb, a plan before a crime
Tired in the days that passed away
Sporadically arranged across your floor when you've got it made

Dear Mariah
The world's not big enough for the both of us
When we live in the same town, that's wrong
Fight on, fire (fight on, fire)
I'll burn my hands 'til I've got nothing left
To count my numbers on, that's wrong
What's right?

Wise-ass comments could cheer you up
The emotional disturbance, relax, deep breath, sit back
From the space in which you stand
Here and in demand
Don't touch a fresh wound that bleeds
All over your carpets, the stains, the storybook remains
And the page that states you've lied
Accept and then reply, acknowledge the other guy
Tired in the days that passed away
Sporadically arranged across the floor when you've got it made (days that passed away)

Dear Mariah
The world's not big enough for the both of us
When we live in the same town, that's wrong
Fight on, fire (fight on, fire)
I'll burn my hands 'til I've got nothing left
To count my numbers on

Don't change your mind when all's been won
Your words, in time, with the loss that you'd let them go
Don't let them fall if your grip's not strong
In time, decide, with the words that you'd let them go
Don't let them fall if your grip's not strong

Dear Mariah, come sleep in your own
Oh, dear Mariah, come sleep in your own
Well, dear Mariah, come sleep in your own
Oh, dear Mariah, come sleep in your own

When eye meets eye, become
We'll lie here alone, locked, our children in the floor
When eye meets eye, become
We'll lie here alone, locked, the children in the floor
When eye meets eye, become (your dreams can't last forever)
We'll lie here alone, locked, the children in the floor, in the floor

Father figure wraps his face up
He'll be coming home to you
(Who sat me down here?) (Your dreams can't last forever)
Locked, our children in the floor
When eye meets eye, become (who sat me down here?) (Your dreams can't last forever)
We'll lie here alone, locked, our children in the floor
When eye meets eye, become (who sat me down here?) (Your dreams can't last forever)
We'll lie here alone, locked, the children in the floor
When eye meets eye, become (who sat me down here?) (Your dreams can't last forever)
We'll lie here alone

    Actually...

    This is when Jesse meets Mariah and they conspire to fight Wilhelm, who only appears in the last part of the song:

    When eye meets eye, be calm Will lie here alone locked the children in the floor

    He's revealing that Wilhelm is acting solely for himself, and that he was responsible for the deaths of Maria, Matthew and Josephine.

    "Coheed and Cambria are NOT emo. They are pure ROCK. In fact, they are the revival of MELODIC rock. THey are just amazing. Of you think their lyrics are good, go listen to them. The guy can sing like no other. His range is rediculous. I love these guys. AMAZING. "

    Sorry, someone went through and posted this on every other song, so I figured I would for this one.

    I saw them on Thursday with From Autumn to Ashes. They rocked my socks off. This is a great song. I love the way he sings espeically the part where Claudio says "will lie here alone locked the children in the floor " . The tune is awesome to that.

    i can't explain this song. it's just so wonderful. the opening guitar is just the best. it's a way of expressing anger nicely. i think he's mad at someone, but no matter how mad you get at someone, you still want them there.

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

Ebba Grön
This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Album art
Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
