Body Snatchers Forever (What's A Pulse Got To Do With It)

Leathermouth

A second chance
Take a life
Another mission
To steal a kiss from borrowed lips
I taste your prison
It feels like a lifetime
Of leaving bodies on the sidelines

I swear to God girl you're never gonna regret this
Close your eyes this will only take a second
These veins are borrowed
This heart only beats for you

1, 2, 3, 4
Their shells disposable
Oh so expendable
Shut it, shut it
Shut it, shut it
Out of your pretty mind
They never cared for you

Here's our shot to insight a revolution
They don't deserve to live
We are our their evolution

These veins are borrowed
This shell is borrowed
A new life after death
It's fucking perfect
Don't you fear
They'll never hurt you darling
These veins are borrowed
This shell is borrowed

1, 2, 3, 4
Their shells disposable
Oh so expendable
Shut it, shut it
Shut it, shut it
Out of your pretty mind
How could you shed a tear?

Don't worry old girl
Dry the tears from your eyes
Something better is bound to come around sometime
Let's go

This face means nothing
These hands hold nothing
These lungs are empty
And these eyes are blind
This face means nothing
These hands hold nothing
But I'm here
This heart is yours

This face means nothing
These hands hold nothing
These lungs are empty
And these eyes are blind
This face means nothing
These hands hold nothing
But I'm here
This heart is yours
Our love never dies

    I will admit that I have never heard this song before, but I can't find it anywhere!! So I have an excuse...

    Great lyrics though! These guys will hopefully get very far

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

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,

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

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/
