I'm just a connoisseur of sad guys with guitars.
Here's my biggest playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1qKHzI9dFb02qT5RyztHQX?si=471933194c42401a. I post lyrics bc it's the least annoying place to post lyrics, not necessarily for their meaning
| Portra – not to catch you by surprise Lyrics | 1 year ago |
|
Posting the correct lyrics in the comments since it won't let me edit the lyrics that it changed: Not to catch you by surprise Everything is fine but I want you here In slow time If you're not gonna cry then I'll do it for you Here I go Take a lap around the yard 'cause I need it Did you notice what is broken back there? Did you notice? Hardly There isn't a problem with you or a problem with me A problem with anything Two years is a pretty good feat, considering everything I don't need to tell you I wasn't there at all Not more than I was by default Not more than a cinder brick wall is there to catch you when you fall I'll settle down You're still around We were friends back then, and we will be now No excuses There's a line to cross and we haven't touched it I don't love it but we're healthy and we're better off Right? Right There isn't a problem with you or a problem with me A problem with anything Two years is a pretty good feat, considering everything I don't need to tell you I wasn't there at all Not more than I was by default Not more than a cinder brick wall is there to catch you when you fall There to catch you when you Fall There to catch you when you Fall Not to catch you by surprise But we're in it Not to catch you by surprise But we're in it Not to catch you by surprise But we're in it This isn't the end of a horrible, tattered love It just needs some patching up A couple of wounded ducks separated from the pond There isn't a problem with you or a problem with me A problem with anything Two years is a pretty good feat, considering everything I don't need to tell you I wasn't there at all Not more than I was by default Not more than a cinder brick wall is there to catch you when you fall |

| Enno Bunger – Regen Lyrics | 5 years ago |
|
In English: Where have you been? Why are you so cold? Don't you want to talk? What color is the frog in your throat? The rain weeps outside, Only silence fills the room, I look for your eyes, But they avoid mine You bite your lips, You're completely oblivious to it, And with a scratchy voice, You very slowly reveal all What should I think of it? I don't know exactly, There were big pieces, Now there's only rubble and dust You have blood on your lips, You're completely oblivious to it, Your hands are shaking, And your shoulders too Your body is trembling, You're coming undone, Covered in a thousand tears, You let everything out What should I think of it? I don't know exactly, There were big pieces, Now there's only rubble and dust I'm going home now, Call me if you need anything, If you close your eyes, The rain sounds like applause, If you close your eyes, The rain sounds like applause, If you close your eyes, The rain sounds like applause, If you close your eyes, The rain sounds like applause, If you close your eyes, The rain sounds like applause, And the door that just closed - do you hear it too? |

| Svavar Knútur – Undir Birkitré Lyrics | 5 years ago |
|
In English: Alone I sit and ponder the world as the green leaf flutters Here I can dwell for long hours as the gentle spring sings. Under a birch tree, under a birch tree all of life's troubles and desires become small just like me. Under a green birch tree, a birch tree. No tears and none of life's sorrows, as the green leaf flutters. Only the breeze and golden cities in the clouds as the gentle spring sings. |

| Svavar Knútur – Dansa Lyrics | 5 years ago |
|
In English: Soon we will have better times with flowers in the fields and pink cows that dance into the night. We shall be good and sweet, for soon it is the time for slaughter and dance, there will be dance. Dancing, what is better than dancing? Dancing, what is better than dancing, tonight? The winter's night is cold and dark but soon the sun will sneak inside and dance into the night. Then all our terrible thoughts will disappear and all the shadows will retreat and dance, they will dance! Dancing, what is better than dancing? Dancing, what is better than dancing tonight? All that disappeared and all that died will soon be covered under snow that dances into the night. All the sorrows, all my misery will soon be buried and forgotten and dance, We will dance. Dancing, what is better than dancing? Dancing, what is better than dancing tonight? |

| Daddy And The Long Legs – Safe With Me Lyrics | 5 years ago |
|
These are not the lyrics I submitted. The following are the correct lyrics: You open all your sentences saying, "Don't take this the wrong way..." It's already been a long day and the night is far from over I am scatterbrained and scared I come tripping up the stairs and through the door And you're there Rooted to the floor And I don't dare disturb the peace I enter silently And I know you know it's me when I sit down next to you And as the stillness shakes my room I'm bathing in this ray of baby blue And I know I'm safe with you So when I say, "I love you" What I mean is, "I would pluck your eyeballs out I'd pop them in my sockets If it meant that I could see the world the way that you do" Yeah, when I say, "I love you" All I mean is, "Thank you for existing" I mean "You don't owe me nothing" No I don't need you to need me So if you really want me to leave Then I'm gone Because I know you need your space And I can't argue with the sense that makes But when your heart or body aches You can call me And you can use me like a crutch I'll be your comfort blanket of human touch And no it don't offend me none, honestly All I mean is When your back's pressed to my chest Your legs tangled in my legs With every simple breath You're safe with me |

I have no idea why that happened. Here are the real lyrics: Tell you that I love you, that I can't hold back The feeling that you give me, wanna give it right back I know you always win at this particular game I need to know the rules if you want me to play You treat me like your boyfriend And trust me like a, like a very best friend Kiss me like your boyfriend You call me up, like you would your best friend You turn me on, like you would your boyfriend But I don't want to be your secret anymore I'm trying to be honest cause I can't relax Oh, when I get around you, I can't hide the facts I let you take advantage cause it felt so good I blame myself for thinking we both understood You treat me like your boyfriend And trust me like a, like a very best friend Kiss me like your boyfriend You call me up, like you would your best friend You turn me on, like you would your boyfriend But I don't want to be your secret anymore Don't wanna, don't wanna play the crying game Do you feel the same? You feel the same Don't wanna, don't wanna spin the bottle again Do you feel the same? You feel the same You treat me like your boyfriend And trust me like a, like a very best friend Kiss me like your boyfriend You call me up, like you would your best friend You turn me on, like you would your boyfriend But I don't want to be your secret anymore You treat me like your boyfriend And trust me like a, like a very best friend Kiss me like your boyfriend You call me up, like you would your best friend You turn me on, like you would your boyfriend But I don't want to be your secret anymore |

| Svavar Knútur – Yfir hóla og yfir hæðir Lyrics | 8 years ago |
|
This is an English translation of the song: Over hills and over heaths I want to show you. Backpacks and walking shoes, a little place I have found for myself. Over hills and over heaths. Over hills and over heaths. our winding paths lie. Subdued moss and the scent of heather. We watch the ravens congress in awe. Over hills and over heaths. Over hills and over heaths do you see what I see? A gentle spring and the green leaf, I bring you to my sacred hidden place. ( https://svavarknutur.bandcamp.com/track/yfir-h-la-og-yfir-hae-ir ) |

| Árstíðir – Silfurskin Lyrics | 8 years ago |
|
This is an English translation of the song: Tingling sensation and coldness into the bone I asked for you to bring along the day that seemed a whole eternity I had to wait a long time for it While the flowers don’t fade And it doesn’t clear up My game cascades down around me I understand to a certain level but otherwise nothing at all I shall chase you down I dragged myself out of the ashes Even against adversity If I got to see your mindset Your silver shine ( http://lyricstranslate.com/en/silfurskin-silver-shine.html ) |

| Árstíðir – Síðasta kveðjan Lyrics | 8 years ago |
|
This is an English translation of the song: Dwelling on dreams and desires until everything wrong is gone hoping she‘s the one and only but has nothing to say of that Untroubled thoughts of future and career music will cure unhealed wounds feels like you‘ll always be indifferent but why do these tears then fall My poor heart will you be the end of me sad where no one can see your empty space dissolves in the morning because you can do everything and I hope my farewell will reach you The wind now lets itself be heard the hard winter weights you down thinks he can hardly tolerate more why did this happen to him Waiting for the summer that never came life has betrayed its good son his fire of hope now seems faint and lighting is now his only hope My poor heart will you be the end of me sad where no one can see your empty space. dissolves in the morning because you can do everything and I hope my farewell will reach you ( http://lyricstranslate.com/en/s%C3%AD%C3%B0asta-kve%C3%B0jan-last-farewell.html ) |

| Boy & Bear – Back Down the Black Lyrics | 8 years ago |
|
The real lyrics: 'Cause you're hurting I can tell by the way that you move You got your head on your chest and your chest in your mouth You don't look so good There'll be change 'Cause this one's too big not to see But brother you're scared and I'm scared when you're scared 'Cause you ain't supposed to be So I'll scream out loud Won't you get out my way 'Cause I've got the animal I've got the beast on a leash these days So you don't go wondering back down the black to that awful place And help is well on it's way And you taught me too much to sit back and watch you this way Just to watch you this way There's a light sound that comes around Like a raven in flight A shivering child as the car windows left open overnight And I watched it light up the moon again And I watched it all disappear Oh tether of life won't you shepherd me home again dear So I'll scream out loud Won't you get out my way 'Cause I've got the animal I've got the beast on a leash these days So you don't go wondering back down the black to that awful place 'Cause help is well on it's way, You taught me too much to sit back and watch you this way And I've been back down the black now before And I won't watch you this way No I won't watch you this way And oh, my legs don't work and my limbs all hurt As my body aches to take the weight that's been thrown down on top of you Like you would do too And oh, my legs don't work and my limbs all hurt As my body aches to take the weight that's been thrown down on top of you Like you would do too And oh, my legs don't work and my limbs all hurt As my body aches to take the weight that's been thrown down on top of you Like you would do too And oh, my legs don't work and my limbs all hurt As my body aches to take the weight that's been thrown down on top of you Like you would do too |
