The Horrors – Sea Within a Sea Lyrics 14 years ago
Some say we walk alone //some say we essentially experience life solitarily
Barefoot on wicked stone, no light //life is sharp, and dark-a cruel joke
and sanctuary found never waits around awhile //those who you actually love/experience peace w/ finally, always leave

Marching to the sea //the further you go in life or relationships
their dreams stay in the shadows //they pull back, they hide, because they are afraid
their dreams stay firmly rooted in the shallows // too comfortable/scared to live outside of their shallow, normal lives
See the scraping sky //look, there is more to life than that--see the depth of the beauty
See my destination there tonight //I can't live a meaningless life, I need to continue on my journey

So say I walk alone, barefoot //so let's say I do walk alone, dealing with life by myself, w/ no one else
on wicked stone tonight //dealing with the cuts, bruises and darkness of life
Will you leap to follow //will you decide to be there with me
Will you turn and go //or will you decide it's not worth it
Will your dreams stay rooted in the shallows //will you just opt for an average, shallow life

See the scraping sky //there is more to life beyond what you perceive
Far beyond the shallows //far beyond the shallow, mediocre life that most people choose
Far beyond the reaches of the shadows //far beyond the reaches of one's fears/what they decide to hide behind

Though youth may fade with boyhood's cares //we're not getting any younger
New fear will catch us unawares //there are always going to be new fears, when we're least expecting it
I know it will //it's a fact

So you might say //so one may say
the path we share is one of danger //any path we decide to take, even if you stay where you are, is not safe
and of fear //and will not protect you from life's cruelty
until the end //until death, where we we will finally find everlasting peace

Lykke Li – Breaking It Up Lyrics 14 years ago
f you're going abroad I can't help you // if you are going to distance yourself, I can't make you change your mind
If you're crossing the street I might be there // if you are going to be here, that's where I'll be...maybe

If you give it a minute it's gone // if you can't decide if you want this
If you give it a minute it's wrong // if you're trying to find reasons to end it by nitpicking
If we're just waiting a second too long // if you don't tell me right away and let the issue get out of hand
Darling I'll leave and you won't come along // The relationship won't work

So give me the reason to stay //give me the reason to be there
Give me the reason to wait //give me the reason to give you a chance
You know I don't look to get caught //why won't you trust me, I wasn't trying to deceive you
'Cause darling we're here but my true love is not //we're here, but i'm half-way out the door, can't allow myself to fall

I'm breaking it up, before it's on // don't want to get hurt, breaking up before it's even started
Breaking it up, it's already gone //breaking up because you don't trust me, it's already over
Breaking it up, I didn't mean to fraud //breaking up, I didn't mean to lie/withhold facts/deceive
Breaking it up //breaking up with you

If you're going abroad I can't help you //if you're going to distance yourself, i'm not going to run after you
If you're crossing the street I might be there //if you are going to be here, i might change my mind to stay...maybe

And I call you baby I will and I do //still not over you yet
Persuade you in though I know that we're through //want to be with you, but you don't trust me so it won't work
I let you think that I'm yours when I'm not //afraid to let myself fall for you completely, but I'll let you think so
Keep you here though I'm ready to drop the last line //can't allow myself to get hurt, ready to run if things go wrong

I'm breaking it up, before it's on //breaking up before I even gave you a chance to prove yourself
Breaking it up, it's already gone //breaking up, because you don't want this
Breaking it up, I didn't mean to fraud //breaking up, i'm sorry if I unintentionally mislead you
Breaking it up //let's just break up

If you're going abroad I can't help you //if you're not going to be here for me, goodbye
If you're crossing the street I might be there //if you are going to be here, maybe i'll reconsider...maybe

Breaking it up //breaking up
Breaking it up //because things aren't getting any easier
