when you're through thinking, say yes.

Confession: I've always had a special place in my heart for Yellowcard. They are quite fabulous, and wrote one of my all-time favourite songs. Their new song (the one shown above) just proves to me why I love them so much. It's the happiest-sounding break-up song since this one. Aren't they just the greatest?

Kivinen Tie [trans: Rocky Road]

1.
Kutsut sitä nyt kun aika on mennyt
Huudat sen perään mitä ei ollutkaan
Kaikki on jo poissa; aika ja minä
Kivinen tiesi vain jäljelle jäi

Ai ai, se palaa
Aina mieleeni uudestaan
Ai ai, ja salaa
Päästän irti ja hengähdän

Laja di deijaa
Laja di deijaa

2.
Elämä jonka valitsit on vaikea kantaa
Suunta jota pidät on raskas pitää
Huutosi kaikuvat vain takaisin itseesi
Kivinen tie vain jäljelle jää

Ai ai, se palaa
Aina mieleeni uudestaan
Ai ai, ja salaa
Päästän irti ja hengähdän

Laja di deijaa
Laja di deijaa

3.
Huomaatko nyt että aika on täysi
Päästä jo irti, sitä ei ollutkaan
Kaikki on poissa; aika ja minä
Kivinen tieni vain jäljelle jää

Ai ai, se palaa
Aina mieleeni uudestaan
Ai ai, ja salaa
Päästän irti ja hengähdän

Laja di deijaa
Laja di deijaa
Laja di deijaa

My favourite line?
Päästän irti ja hengähdän

Translated to English?
Let go and catch your breath

Also, the keychange (at 2:36) breaks my heart. I must go ponder life now. Peace, all.

O Holy Crap

You NEED to listen to this guy! This song is an awesome mix of grossly horrifying and scarring.



I dare you to listen to the whole thing.

Another one for the list...

Seems I need this now more than ever
Can't remember the last time I felt so alive
I need that feeling back
I tear this photograph apart
Because I know I'm so much healthier alone
But it's not getting any easier
I'm staring at the phone

It's better when no one knows,
And the scar from the lie still shows.

So take this picture that I've drawn
Another face for you to try on
Of the time I fell asleep in your arms
[Wake up with hands around my neck]
When my happy ending depends upon pretending,
Burn it down!
I want to let this go; this is my memento.

And any time you want to let me know that you're not happy,
I'd rather know than have you hate me
'Cause you're not the only one whose voice is raw from screaming
All the noise that we don't need,
Salt in the wound may stop the bleeding

It's better if no one knows,
and the scar from the lie still shows.

So take this picture that I've drawn
Another face for you to try on
Of the time I fell asleep in your arms
[Wake up with hands around my neck]
When my happy ending depends upon pretending,
Burn it down!
I want to let this go, but this is my memento.
This is my memento.

And all we know is that things aren't getting better
So we both hide out as we weather out this storm
Until we both find hope, we will make each other suffer
So we go our seperate ways and hope our paths will cross.

And all we know is that things aren't getting better
So we both hide out as we weather out this storm
Until we both find hope, we will make each other suffer
So we go our seperate ways and hope our paths will cross.

Take this picture that I've drawn,
Another face for you to try on
Of the time I fell asleep in your arms.
[Wake up with hands around my neck!]
When my happy ending depends upon pretending,
Burn it down!
I want to let this go, but this is my memento.

When my happy ending depends upon pretending, [This is my memento]
Burn it down!
I want to let this go, but this is my memento.

Memento - Phao

So the truth came out
But I took my anger and laid it down
You see, well I'm not gonna to fight
So take my sword, my shield, my pride

Turning your body you tell me, no I cannot make it
Kissing you lips, oh it kills me, no I cannot take it
Tell me the truth love, did we just bend or did we break it?
Living a lie is not easy

Throw a stone into the sky and it will come back to you
Beggars will beg, thieves will steal and liars will bend the truth
And if you pick a flower you know it's bound to die
And I will wait for you

Well, I stood still and stared in your eyes
I could trace the path of the tears you cried
And cried and cried and cried

Turning your body you tell me, no I cannot make it
Kissing you lips, oh it kills me, no I cannot take it
Tell me the truth love, did we just bend or did we break it?
Living a lie is not easy

Throw a stone into the sky and it will come back to you
Beggars will beg, thieves will steal and liars will bend the truth
And if you pick a flower you know it's bound to die
And I will wait for you

I never wanna see you cry
I never wanna leave your side
I only wanna live this life standing next to you
I will wait for you, wait for you

Turning your body you tell me, no I cannot make it
Kissing you lips, oh it kills me, no I cannot take it

Throw a stone into the sky and it will come back to you
Beggars will beg, thieves will steal and liars will bend the truth
And if you pick a flower you know it's bound to die
And I will wait for you

So the truth same out
But I took my anger and laid it down

I Will Wait For You - Theo Tams
