Lyrics of the Week - What are yours?

[EEEEEEP]

Jessica Mauboy - We Got Love

I know what you must be thinking
That we are
Powerless to change things
But don't, don't give up
'Cause we got love

Morphine -- The Saddest Song

I set my course, sail away from shore
Steady, steady as she goes
A crash in the night, two worlds collide
And when two worlds collide, no one survives
No one survives

King - Lauren Aquilina
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sZeVx_9au5g

You've got it all
You lost your mind in the sound
There's so much more
You can reclaim your crown
You're in control
Rid of the monsters inside your head
Put all your faults to bed
You can be king again

When I got my computer, there were three songs that automatically came on it (yep back in those days). I decided to keep two of them by Habib Koité and it came up on shuffle the other day. Really catchy song, kind of awesome that Apple forced this one on me.


EDIT: I've just done some googling and apparently this song was actually part of the sample music package on Windows Vista...no idea how it made it onto my newer computer but still glad!

Just imagine it - MKTO

Yeah, it ain't gonna be perfect
Nothing ever has
But we could try, just imagine that

Fallin' All In You - Shawn Mendes

Spoiler

Sunrise with you on my chest
No blinds in the place where I live
Daybreak open your eyes
'Cause this was only ever meant to be for one night
Still, we're changing our minds here
Be yours, be my dear
So close with you on my lips
Touch noses, feeling your breath
Push your heart and pull away, yeah
Be my summer in a winter day love
I can't see one thing wrong
Between the both of us
Be mine, be mine, yeah
Anytime, anytime

This is basically "Perfect" 2.0 and Ed Sheeran wrote this one too ...

You Will Be Found - Dear Evan Hansen (musical)

Have you ever felt like nobody was there?
Have you ever felt forgotten in the middle of nowhere?
Have you ever felt like you could disappear?
Like you could fall, and no one would hear?

Well, let that lonely feeling wash away
Maybe there’s a reason to believe you’ll be okay
‘Cause when you don’t feel strong enough to stand
You can reach, reach out your hand

And someone will come running.
None of us is alone.

I have this song down as "A thing about you" By Hunter Hayes, but I can't find it anywhere online...
If anyone can actually tell me the true name of this song I'll be hella grateful...

Spoiler

There's a painting hanging somewhere,
in Paris,
Millions come over to see it,
she won't crack a smile....

And a tired tower leaning,
like it's had too much to drink,
still selling tickets, like it's going out of style...

Just really makes me wanna travel...

Unsteady - X Ambassadors

Hold on to me
'Cause I'm a little unsteady
A little unsteady

Shawn Mendes & Julia Michaels: Like to Be You

I don't know what it's like to be you
I don't know what it's like but I'm dying to
If I could put myself in your shoes
Then I'd know what it's like to be you
Tell me what's inside of your head
No matter what you say I won't love you less
And I'd be lying if I said that I do
I don't know what it's like to be you

[Poet]

Take one last look at what you're leaving behind,
'Cause there's no coming back once we go
We are the children of an innocent crime,
And it’s time to take down the throne
Although our hands may shake,
We'll set the city ablaze for their treachery
We'll spill their blood and set our fathers free

Ooh, two hundred years of war
Fight till we are no more
A curse on the streets of gold, ooh ooh
Just know
That mine is a hand to hold
Take back what the kingdom stole
A curse on the streets of gold

❝It’s alright to stop
Now we don’t run without even knowing the destination
It’s alright to not have a dream
All the breaths you breathe are already in paradise❞
                                                        --- Paradise by BTS

Yes, this is a KPOP song. Yes, it's from BTS. I've been a fan of BTS for 4 years now and even with their sudden increase in fame, their music never fails to inspire me and touch me. Their songs always carry this raw emotion and the way the lyrics are written reflect how many people in our society today feel. This song called Paradise focuses on how some people don't have a dream and how it's ok to not have one. It uses a marathon as a metaphor for life, and how we constantly feel the need to run continuously towards the end goal even though we do not know what really is in store for us. From my interpretation, the lyrics reveal that the paradise that many people think is the dream you are working towards to is not necessarily your paradise. You are already in paradise as you live through life, because life is one of the biggest paradises of all. Live through every day like it is your last, because simple goals like getting a computer can be your small dream. You're living in your paradise now, stop worrying about the big dreams [the end goal in the marathon] you may or may not have and slow down a second just to look at the little things [scenery as you run] around you.

It all looks better when I see it with you here
You keep turning, keep turning my life around

Just really feelin' this song! ;D

[Poet]

Starting to look like Ms. Know-it-all
Can't take her own advice
Can't find pieces of peace of mind, I cry
More than I want to admit
But I can't lie to myself, to anyone
