Down in Flames

Zebrahead

Lick my wounds and I feel the pain
Watch my future go down the drain
Made my ruin now I'm aimed at you
Bane of the butcher we are through
Love kills
Like the cyanide living in a jagged little pill
Love kills
It's not for faking, it's just for the thrill
Stop I hate it!
Don't stop! I need it!

[Chorus]
And now I will never be the same
And so I will never be the one to blame
But if I go crashing down in flames
Just wave at me
I guarantee it's you I'm taking with me

Vanished truth I believed in you
Gave myself you bled me through
Crimes of youth grow better with age
In a living hell you're my war to wage
Love kills
Like a vendetta left breathing
so my guts will spill
Love kills
It's not for taking, it's just for the thrill
Stop I hate it!
Don't stop! I need it!

[Chorus]

I'm a wasteland
So far away
I miss your bleeding heart
It's my last stand
I'd die to say
I miss your bleeding heart
Devoid of any feeling
Devoid of disagreeing
Devoid of what I'm seeing
Devoid, you left me reeling
I break!
Stop I hate it!
Don't stop! I need it!

[Chorusx2]

    me imagino que debe ser algo de estar enamorado con una chica que odias, y por eso jamas seras el mismo y tu solo no tienes la culpa, la nueva mentalidad de zebrahead es super chida!!!!!!!!!

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
