Brooke Fraser "Scarlet"

Middle of nowhere
Finally you can breathe
Nobody knows your name
It's easier

Shut your eyes tightly
Clench your fists 'til they almost bleed
Cautiously, lightly
Gently expose what's underneath

And all you feel now
Is the scarlet in the day
Even if it's real
You can't stay...

[Chorus]
So there you go
You're gone for good
There you go
You're gone for good

Your mind is swollen
From months of thought without release
They've taken their toll on you
And this very moment
Of timid and fragile honesty
Is precious and rare and fleeting

And all you feel now
Is the scarlet in the day
And even if it's real
You can't stay...

[Chorus x2]

Lucia "Silence"

Stop me
Say you wanna stop me
Say you wanna stop me now
But I’m leaving
Yes I'm gonna leave you
Yes I'm gonna leave your life
If it's just 'sorry'
I don’t want your sorry
I don’t want your sorry now
Is too late, you know
Is too late you know
Wasted time

Say
Do you wanna play for love?
Do you wanna play for love?
Say
Do you wanna play for love?
Do you wanna play for love?

Your silence
Your silence
Your silence...aaaah
Silence
Your silence
Your silence


Wake me…
Say you wanna wake me
Say you wanna wake my life
But I know you
Yes I wanna know you
Yes I wanna know your life
If is just teasing
I will be your teaser
I will be your teaser now

Is too late, you know
Is too late you know
Wasted time

Say,
Do you wanna play for love?
Do you wanna play for love?
Say,
Do you wanna play for love?
Do you wanna play for love?

Your silence
Your silence
Your silence…aaaaa
Silence
Your silence
Your silence


Say, you wanna know me
You wanna know me
And try to let it out
X 4
And try to let it out x 2

Moddi "Thimbleweed"

We built this place with high hopes, blood on our hands
A giant on our shoulders and maps of unfound land
God would give his blessings in a language I don't speak
A blessing for the waking, the tired and the weak
A promise of a new day, born with every little seed
And gardens growing over with snow white baby thimbleweed

Then came the first eruptions and everybody was amazed
A triumph for the structure and all the memories it erased
But structures are forever and do not care about the mind
We hid behind our eyelids in fear of what we'd find
Now everyone was sleeping heavier than ever before
As broken vows and dead dreams washed upon a silver shore

I sat there by the window as the hours turned to years
And never gave up hoping there would be something for me here
Now everyone was waiting for a day that never came
And wherever the wind blew, the sky would stay the same

 

What do you think the story is behind these lyrics? What would be happening in a scene you would use this song for? What does it mean to you?

"It Took Me By Suprise" Maria Mena

I would react badly
To the slightest hint of hesitance
He’d bend awkwardly to suit my mood
No word from his defense

I’d cry knowing how my tears
Felt like acid burning through his skin
Pushed every little button
But the right one that would let me in

Now he’s afraid of me
He’s afraid of me

It took me by surprise
The hatred in his eyes
I’ve pushed this man as far as he could go
But he lacked the words to let me know
He acted out, now I can see it is my fault

I made changes that went unnoticed
Sang songs for deaf ears
He mistook my silence for punishment
As it had been all these years
I’d cry knowing how my tears
Felt like acid burning through his skin

Now he’s afraid of me
He’s afraid of me

It took me by surprise
The hatred in his eyes
I’ve pushed this man as far as he could go
But he lacked the words to let me know
He acted out, now I-

It took me by surprise
The hatred in his eyes
I’ve pushed this man as far as he could go
But he lacked the words to let me know
He acted out, now I can see it is my fault

"Howard's Tale" by Sick Puppies

Age five, just a little boy shy
Is he ready for the big surprise
He'll be playing Lego in a dream
When the shadows come to life

Age nine and he should've been fine
With a secret he's sure to keep
Two times had to tell a little lie
For the sake of him and me

Now it's over
I need closure

Hey, look what you did to me
When you were taking me home
Getting me stoned
Leave me alone
I waited for mum to comfort me
But when I opened my mouth
"Don't say nothing, shh"

Age twelve and it isn't going well
Now it's 3 years to the day
Confused, but unlike you
This feeling won't go away

Sixteen and the woman down the street
Has invited him to come inside
The first time, it didn't feel right
It'll be the last time he tries

Hey, look what you did to me
When you were taking me home
Getting me stoned
Leave me alone
I waited for mum to comfort me
But when I opened my mouth
Don't say nothing's wrong
I won't say nothing's wrong

I won't say, I won't say
I won't say, I won't say
I won't say, I won't say

Seventeen, all he's ever seen
Is living in between the lies
It's kind of funny how a mind
Can keep living in denial

Eighteen is a very strange scene
He's still playing with the past
Expelled, maybe someone could've helped
If someone had known to ask

Hey, look what you did to me
When you were taking me home
Getting me stoned
Leave me alone
I waited for mum to comfort me
But when I opened my mouth
"Don't say nothing, shh"

Nineteen and he's innocently
Parked right beside a school
He stares at a boy sitting there
And the boy stares at him too
He walks over
He needs closure





What do you think the story is behind these lyrics? If you were to use it as background music for a movie scene what would be going on? What about a music video?
Comment please!

Moddi "Rubbles"

These rivers are rain from a summer gone by
dragging the rubbles to sea
they're pointing their guns towards a northern sky
still none of them call themselves free

afraid to collide, you fall out of your mind
to kiss concrete ground with your teeth.
but with two cigarettes and your letter, combined
this air is too heavy to breathe
this air is too heavy to breathe

in order to stop them you cry out a spell
that withers in rubbles overseas
"take all your fluid words, kiss me farewell
and give me peace
give me peace"


So in your mind, what do these lyrics mean to you. What is the story behind this song? What kind of scene in a movie would you maybe use this song as background music for??



Here is the official music video for it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DbAtBdADW3s
