Aerials - System of a Down

From the Toxicity CD


Life is a waterfall,
We're one in the river,
And one again after the fall.

Swimming through the void
We hear the word,
We lose ourselves,
But we find it all

Cause we are the ones that want to play,
Always want to go,
But you never want to stay
,

And we are the ones that want to choose,
Always want to play,
But you never want to lose
.

Aerials, in the sky,
When you lose small mind,
You free your life.

Life is a waterfall,
We drink from the river,
Then we turn around and put up our walls.

Swimming through the void
We hear the word,
We lose ourselves,
But we find it all

Cause we are the ones that want to play,
Always want to go,
But you never want to stay,

And we are the ones that want to choose,
Always want to play,
But you never want to lose,
ohhh

Aerials, in the sky,
When you lose small mind,
You free your life.
Aerials, so up high,
When you free your eyes,
Eternal prize.
Aerials, in the sky,
When you lose small mind,
You free your life.
Aerials, so up high,
When you free your eyes,
Eternal prize.

Find my way - n.e.r.d

N.e.rd - one of my favourite groups evar! This is from 'Fly or Die'

Just a minute ago, Just a minute ago
Just a minute ago I said some things
I know That I can't change back

When I just screamed that didn't mean
For us to break, break our pact

I'm searching for my way back
But I’m looking through a peephole
I'm trying to find my way back
I wanna be the hero

I'm here you're there, I'm here you're there
I'm here you're there as sweet as this air
But no one is breathing such _______
How can this be, it's your face I see
This is so crazy, were in the same room

Chorus:
I'm searching for my way back (I'm searching for my way back girl, searching for my way back girl)
But I’m looking through a peephole ( I'm searching for my way back girl, searching for my way back girl)
I'm trying to find my way back ( I'm searching for my way back girl, searching for my way back girl)
I wanna be the hero( I'm searching for my way back girl, searching for my way back girl)

I don't care what it takes
But I know we got to get there
(we got to get there)
We got to get there (we got to get there) I can see it know you and me
I know nothing will change if both of us just sit here (And we just sat here)
And we just sat here (And we just sat here) come one join me girl can't you see

(Hey) I'm searching for my way back (I'm lost where am I)
But I'm looking through a peephole (I just wanna go home)
I'm trying to find my way back (I'm out here by myself)
I wanna be the hero (I'm lost in space)

Bjork - I've Seen It All (duet with Thom Yorke)

I've seen it all, I have seen the trees,
I've seen the willow leaves dancing in the breeze
I've seen a man killed by his best friend,
And lives that were over before they were spent.
I've seen what I was - I know what I'll be
I've seen it all - there is no more to see!

You haven't seen elephants, kings or Peru!
I'm happy to say I had better to do
What about China? Have you seen the Great Wall?
All walls are great, if the roof doesn't fall!

And the man you will marry?
The home you will share?
To be honest, I really don't care...

You've never been to Niagara Falls?
I have seen water, its water, that's all...
The Eiffel Tower, the Empire State?
My pulse was as high on my very first date!
Your grandson's hand as he plays with your hair?
To be honest, I really don't care...

I've seen it all, I've seen the dark
I've seen the brightness in one little spark.
I've seen what I chose and I've seen what I need,
And that is enough, to want more would be greed.

I've seen what I was and I know what I'll be
I've seen it all - there is no more to see!

You've seen it all and all you have seen
You can always review on your own little screen
The light and the dark, the big and the small
Just keep in mind - you need no more at all
You've seen what you were and know what you'll be
You've seen it all - there is no more to see!

Daughters by John Mayer

No lyrical blog is complete without this song!  One of my favourites for sure.  and fyi, yes my father is
a great one. I can honestly say '46' causes very little of my drama.



I know a girl
She puts the color inside of my world
She's just like a maze
Where all of the walls all continually change
And I've done all I can
To stand on her steps with my heart in my hands
Now I'm starting to see
Maybe it's got nothing to do with me

Fathers be good to your daughters
Daughters will love like you do
Girls become lovers who turn into mothers
So mothers be good to your daughters too

Oh, you see that skin?
It's the same she's been standing in
Since the day she saw him walking away
Now she's left
Cleaning up the mess he made

Fathers be good to your daughters
Daughters will love like you do
Girls become lovers who turn into mothers
So mothers be good to your daughters too

Boys, you can break
You'll find out how much they can take
Boys will be strong
And boys soldier on
But boys would be gone without warmth from
A woman's good, good heart

On behalf of every man
Looking out for every girl
You are the god and the weight of her world

So fathers be good to your daughters
Daughters will love like you do
Girls become lovers who turn into mothers
So mothers be good to your daughters, too
So mothers be good to your daughters, too
So mothers be good to your daughters, too

Falling in love at a Coffee Shop (AT&T advert)

I adore this song from the AT&T commercial so much I bought it off of iTunes. it's by Landon Pigg

Falling in love at a Coffee Shop by Landon Pigg

I think that possibly, maybe I’m fallin’ for you
Yes, there’s a chance that I’ve fallen quite hard over you
I’ve seen the paths that your eyes wander down
I wanna come to
I think that possibly, maybe I’m fallin’ for you

No one understands me quite like you do
Through all of the shadowy corners of me

I never knew just what it was
About this old coffee shop I love so much
All of the while I never knew
I never knew just what it was
About this old coffee shop I love so much
All of the while I never knew

I think that possibly, maybe I’m fallin’ for you
Yes, there’s a chance that I’ve fallen quite hard over you
I’ve seen the waters that make your eyes shine
Now I’m shinin’ too
Because, oh because, I’ve fallen quite hard over you

If I didn’t know you, I’d rather not know
If I couldn’t have you, I’d rather be alone

I never knew just what it was
About this old coffee shop I love so much
All of the while I never knew
I never knew just what it was
About this old coffee shop I love so much
All of the while I never knew
All of the while
All of the while

Do I Love You Because You're Beautiful? - Rodger and Hammersteins Cinderella

I remember when that movie came on tv. Whitney, Brandy, Whoopi... and all the blue prom
dresses it produced the next spring. lol.

The Prince:
Do I love you because you're beautiful
Or are you beautiful because I love you?
Am I making believe I see in you
A girl to lovely to be really true
Do I want you because you're wonderful
Or are you wonderful because I want you?
Are you the sweet invention of a lovers dream
Or are you really as beautiful as you seem?

Brandy:
Am I making believe I see in you
A man to perfect to be really true
Do I want you because you're wonderful
Or are you wonderful because I want you?
Are you the sweet invention of a lovers dream
Or are you really as wonderful as you seem?

Together:
Are you the sweet invention of a lovers dream
Or are you really as wonderful as you seem?

Mu-nraito densetsu from the Japanese anime Sailor Moon


Lyrics from www.animelyrics.com




Original / Romaji Lyrics
English Translation
GOMEN NE sunao ja nakute
yume no naka nara ieru
shikou kairo wa SHO-TO sunzen
ima sugu aitai yo
I'm sorry I'm not candid.
I can say it if in my dreams.
My thoughts are about to short circuit.
I want to see you right now!
nakitaku naru you na moonlight
denwa mo dekinai midnight
datte junjou doushiyou
HA-TO wa mangekyou
I'm just about to cry -- moonlight
I can't call you, either -- midnight
But I have a simple heart, so what can I do?
My heart is a kaleidoscope.
tsuki no hikari ni michibikare
nandomo meguriau
With the light of the moon to guide us,
we'll be brought together by fate many times over.
seiza no matataki kazoe
uranau koi no yukue
onaji kuni ni umareta no [1]
MIRAKURU ROMANSU
Counting the twinklings of the constellations
is how I foretell love's whereabouts.
Born on the same earth [1]
Miracle romance
[Instrumental]
[Instrumental]
mo ichido futari de weekend
kami-sama kanaete happy end
genzai kako mirai mo
anata ni kubittake
To be together once more this weekend...
God, please grant me a happy end.
In the present, past, and future,
I'll be completely devoted to you.
deatta toki no natsukashii
manazashi wasurenai
I can't forget that dear look in your eyes
when we first met.
ikusenman no hoshi kara
anata wo mitsukerareru
guuzen mo CHANSU ni kaeru
ikikata ga suki yo
Out of tens of thousands of stars,
I can find you.
Turning even chance into an opportunity...
I love that way of life!
[Instrumental]
[Instrumental]
fushigi na kiseki KUROSU shite
nandomo meguriau
A wondrous miracle growing closer.
We'll be brought together by fate many times over.
seiza no matataki kazoe
uranau koi no yukue
onaji kuni ni umareta no
MIRAKURU ROMANSU
shinjite-iru no
MIRAKURU ROMANSU
Counting the twinklings of the constellations
is how I foretell love's whereabouts.
Born on the same earth
Miracle romance
I believe in this
Miracle romance
