Lyrics
I have a habit of finding lines in songs I sort of adopt and take to mean something personal. I guess we all do it and that’s why popular music works, why artists can say they try to reach out via their songs and all the rest.
Here are a few that have been eating me up recently-
“We french kissed on a subway train, he tore my clothes right odd, he ate my heart then he ate my brain”. (Lady Gaga, ‘Monster’)
Not that I engage in hardkore canibalistic S+M in my spare time, rather the line reminds me of the last time I kissed someone and it felt utterly amazing and fresh and new, exciting and carefree. It was QUITE the make out session. About 5 tube stops of pure om nom nommin’ it. Pretty great stuff.
“I wont go down by myself, I’ll go down with my friends” (My Chemical Romance, ‘you know what they do to guys like us in prison’)
I shouted this with the girl I went with to the my chemical romance concert. It was amazing. I love this line. I hate being on my own. I get lonely pretty quickly. I don’t want to be by myself all the time. If I’m going to get caught doing something daft or drunken or silly or dangerous I want to be having a fucking good time with the people I like to call my friends. That’s all I ask.
“Love without pain isn’t really romance” (Royksopp, ‘Only this moment’)
This one is mine. These are my lyrics. I don’t care about how many thousands of people have heard the song and related to it. I don’t care who has done what to this song. These lyrics have convinced me very hard things to do have been worth it. I live for the romance. I seek the romance. I want the romance. I’m going to cry on the way. These are my lyrics.
