DIIV - Skin Game

 

 

One afterthought on a skin game

"I took it as prescribed"

Vow do no harm, buy the cure

But first you'll buy the disease

 

I can see you've had some struggles lately

Hey man I've had mine too

 

Fighting to get through the door

But I can't live like this anymore

They gave us wings to fly

But then they took away the sky

 

Well, what you want?

"Serve me."

Sell me to the spoon

I'm cashing in, falling out, hung me up

Strung out to please the king in metropolitan's Sackler wing

I can help you it's how I help myself

 

I can see you've had some struggles lately

Hey man I've had mine too

 

Fighting to get through the door

But I can't live like this anymore

They gave us wings to fly

But then they took away the sky

 

I wanna be your doll

But I won't be your dog anymore

You gave us wings to fly

But then you took away the sky

 

Sunken ceiling and a sideways grin

We live to use and we use to live

Crack a window

Get some life in you

 

Holding in coughs, hiding my head

"Everyone respects the dead"

I can help you it's how I help myself

 

Sunken ceiling and a sideways grin

We live to use and we use to live

Crack a window

Get some life in me

Low - Words

 

 

Three inches above the floor

Man in a box wants to burn my soul

And I'm tired

 

"Is that the truth?" he says

The pain is easy

Too many words, too many words

 

And I can hear 'em

And I can hear 'em

And I can hear 'em, I can hear 'em

And I can hear 'em

 

If you're hearing screams

Come back child, come back

My hands are dry

But I know they're gonna make it just one more night

Too many words, too many words

 

And I can hear 'em

And I can hear 'em

And I can hear 'em, I can hear 'em

And I can hear 'em

 

And I can hear 'em

And I can hear 'em

And I can hear 'em, I can hear 'em

And I can hear 'em

Trembling Blue Stars - The Sea Is So Quiet " Long Version "

 

 

The loneliness of a single light in the distance

Everything bathed in blue

The sea and the night, and a heart that just might break in two

The North Sea meets the Atlantic

Lucky seashells, mermaid's purses

The sea and the night, and a heart that just might, face a little crisis

 

Don't let this spell be broken. This is nothing less than perfection

Don't let this haunting stillness lift

It's enough to make you believe

Enough to make you believe everything's alright with the world tonight, it's a place of good deeds

A place of good deeds

 

There's no betrayal of any sign of violence, but a small boat could get swallowed

And the music that this seascape makes could be blown away

The music that this seascape makes could be blown away

 

Don't let this spell be broken. This is nothing less than perfection

Don't let this haunting stillness lift

It's enough to make you believe

Enough to make you believe everything's alright with the world tonight, it's a place of good deeds

A place of good deeds

Ride - Lannoy Point (Live on KEXP)

 

 

If seeing is believing

Believing is not seeing

 

All these feelings

I can't repair

Your way of seeing

All melts into air

 

A Face of reason equals treason

A treason against all reason

 

All this dealing

I can't repair

My way of being

All melts into air

 

I'm wiser for the time

I row against the tide

I drop onto my knees

All turned back a century

 

We'll be wiser when we fall

Like the dinosaurs before

When we've swept ourselves away

A better sense can start again

A better sense can start again

A better sense can start again

 

I'm wiser for the time

I roll against the tide

I drop to my knees

All to that good century

We'll be wiser when we fall

Like the dinosaurs before

When we've swept ourselves away

A better sense can start again

(Believing my feelings)

A better sense can start again

(Believing all my feelings)

A better sense can start again

(Believing all my feelings)

A better sense can start again

(Believing all my feelings)

A better sense can start again

 

A better sense can start again

Phoebe Bridgers - Smoke Signals (Live on KEXP)

 

[Verse 1]

I went with you up to the place you grew up in

We spent a week in the cold

Just long enough to Walden it with you

Any longer, it would've got old

Singing "Ace of Spades" when Lemmy died

But nothing's changed, L.A.'s alright

I'm sleeping in my bed again, and getting in my head

And then, walk around the reservoir

 

[Chorus]

You, you must've been looking for me

Sending smoke signals

Pelicans circling

Burning trash out on the beach

 

[Verse 2]

One of your eyes is always half-shut

Something happened when you were a kid

I didn't know you then and I'll never understand

Why it feels like I did

"How Soon Is Now" in an 80s sedan

You slept inside of it because your dad

Lived in a campground in the back of a van

You said that song'll creep you out until you're dead

 

[Chorus]

And you must've been looking for me

Sending smoke signals

Pelicans circling

Burning trash out on the beach

 

[Verse 3]

I want to live at the Holiday Inn

Where somebody else makes the bed

We'll watch TV while the lights on the street

Put all the stars to death

It's been on my mind since Bowie died

Just checking out to hide from life

And all of our problems, I'm gonna solve 'em

With you riding shotgun, speeding, 'cause fuck the cops

 

[Chorus]

And you, you must've been looking for me

Sending smoke signals

Pelicans circling

Burning trash out on the beach

 

[Verse 4]

I buried a hatchet, it's coming up lavender

The future's unwritten; the past is a corridor

I'm at the exit, looking back through the hall

You are anonymous, I am a concrete wall

Sabine Devieilhe & Marianne Crebassa

 

Duo des fleurs/Sous le dôme épais

(from Léo Delibes' opera Lakmé)

 

 

Lyrics (translated into English):

 

Come, Mallika, the flowering vines

Their shadows now are throwing

Along the sacred stream,

That calmly here is flowing;

Enlivened by the songs of birds among the pines.

 

O mistress, dear! 't is now –

When I behold you smiling,

In this blest hour, no cares beguiling,

That your oft-closed heart I may read,

Lakmé!

 

'Neath the dome, the jasmine

'Neath the leafy dome, where the jasmine white

 

To the roses comes greeting,

To the roses comes greeting,

 

By flower banks, fresh and bright,

On the flow'rd bank, gay in morning light,

 

Come, and join we their meeting.

Come, and join we their meeting.

 

Ah! we'll glide with the tide,

Slowly on we'll glide floating with the tide,

 

On we'll ride away;

On the stream we'll ride away;

 

Through wavelets shimm'ring brightly,

Through wavelets shimm'ring brightly,

 

Carelessly rowing lightly,

Carelessly rowing lightly,

 

Reach we the steeps

We'll reach soon the steeps

 

Where the birds warble,

Where the fountain sleeps.

 

warble, the birds sprightly.

Where warble the birds sprightly.

 

'Neath the dome rowers unite,

'Neath the leafy dome, where the jasmine white,

 

Come and join we their meeting!

Come and join we their meeting!

 

But, why my heart's swift terror invested,

Doth not yet appear,

When my father 'lone goes to your city detested,

I tremble, I tremble with fear.

 

May the god, Ganesa, keep him from dangers,

Till he arrives at the pool just in view,

Where wild swans, those snowy wing'd strangers,

Come to devour the lotus blue.

 

Yes, where the wild swans, those snowy wing'd strangers,

Come to feed on lotus blue.

 

'Neath the dome, jasmines white

'Neath the leafy dome, where the jasmine white

 

To the roses comes greeting,

To the roses comes greeting,

 

By flower banks, fresh and bright,

On the flow'rd bank, gay in morning light,

 

Come, and join we their meeting.

Come, and join we their meeting.

 

Ah! we'll glide with the tide,

Slowly on we'll glide floating with the tide,

 

On we'll ride away;

On the stream we'll ride away;

 

Through wavelets shimm'ring brightly,

Through wavelets shimm'ring brightly,

 

Carelessly rowing lightly,

Carelessly rowing lightly,

 

Reach we the steeps

We'll reach soon the steeps

 

Where the birds warble,

Where the fountain sleeps.

 

warble, the birds sprightly.

Where warble the birds sprightly.

 

'Neath the dome rowers unite,

'Neath the leafy dome, where the jasmine white,

 

Come and join we their meeting!

Ah! come join we their meeting!

Phoebe Bridgers - Chinese Satellite

 

 

I've been running around in circles

Pretending to be myself

Why would somebody do this on purpose

When they could do something else?

Drowning out the morning birds

With the same three songs over and over

I wish I wrote it, but I didn't so I learn the words

Hum along 'til the feeling's gone forever

 

Took a tour to see the stars

But they weren't out tonight

So I wished hard on a Chinese satellite

I want to believe

Instead I look at the sky and I feel nothing

You know I hate to be alone

I want to belong

 

You were screamin' at the Evangelicals

They were screamin' right back from what I remember

When you said I will never be your vegetable

Because I think when you're gone it's forever

But you know I'd stand on the corner

Embarrassed with a picket sign

If it meant I would see you

When I die

 

Sometimes when I can't sleep

It's just a matter of time before I'm hearing things

Swore I could feel you through the walls

But that's impossible

I want to believe

That if I go outside I'll see a tractor beam

Coming to take me to where I'm from

I want to go home

Nick Cave and Warren Ellis - "Push the Sky Away" (Live at Sydney Opera House)

 

 

 

I was ridin', I was ridin', oh

The sun, the sun, the sun was rising from the fields

 

I got a feeling I just can't shake

I got a feeling that just won't go away

You've gotta just keep on pushing and, keep on pushing and

Push the sky away

 

And if your friends think that you should do it different

And if they think that you should do it the same

You've gotta just keep on pushing and, keep on pushing and

Push the sky away

 

And if you feel you got everything you came for

If you got everything and you don't want no more

You've gotta just keep on pushing and, keep on pushing and

Push the sky away

 

And some people say it's just rock and roll

Oh but it gets you right down to your soul

You've gotta just keep on pushing and, keep on pushing and

Push the sky away

 

You've gotta just keep on pushing and, keep on pushing and

Push the sky away

 

You've gotta just keep on pushing and, keep on pushing and

Push the sky away

The Sound - You've Got A Way

 

 

You won't sit round my bed

I sent you away you're not for me' I said

Now my life's just stopped short of dead

And when I've had enough of me

I think of you instead

 

In these never changing days

I' ll stand by every word of truth

But it's done me no good

It's done me no good

And when I've given up on me

I always think of you

And a smile that could say

Send you troubles on their way

You've got a way

to shoot my night

Right through with the light of day

You've got a way

You've got a way

 

Won't you take me back again

Won't you let me in again

Don't want to be so pure

But I don't want to go insane

I have tried but I am still starring into a space

Only you can fill

with a smile that could say

Send your troubles on their way

You've got a way to shoot the night

Right through with the light of the day

You've got a way,

You've got a way,

he-hey, you've got a way

You've got a way

[[Lo...]]

Jack Frost - Providence

 

 

Remember when I told you

You were pretty lost

It seems you had it up to here

You just paid the cost

All I have, all I need, all you got, is providence

You're looking pretty tired

Seems you lost some weight

You made it through, I don't know how

That's what you can do

All I have, all I need, all you got, is providence

The plants smell sweet in the frozen air

And their silhouettes just fading there

The wolves crouch close against the snow

But where we're running I don't know

In villages and soft sad towns

The candles sway as night goes down

Cold bones creak and strange beasts cry

Watching shadows in the sky

All I have, all I need, all you got, is providence

Remember when we were lovers

The things we used to do

The way the wind came through the door

The way it pulled you through

It was over before we knew it

Gone from both our minds

So if you get the inclination

Just think of me sometime

All I have, all I need, all you got, is providence

All I have, all I need, all you got, is providence

just providence (x4)

It could be easier,

It could have been better.

Luck would be in hand,

It would be a lucky chance.

The winds should have wings,

Seas of emerald,

Snow-mother of pearl.

You thought it was that simple,

As simple as that.

 

And again, and again, listen,

We breathe in big gulps,

We are broken toys

In the hands of a giant,

In the hands of a giant.

And again, and again, listen, yeah.

 

More screeching and dancing,

And the drums are beating,

And ask for illusions,

Empty glass.

And the voice of the iron trams

Morning breath.

You thought it was that simple,

As simple as that.

 

And again, and again, listen,

We breathe in big gulps,

We are broken toys

In the hands of a giant,

In the hands of a giant.

 

And again, and again, listen,

We breathe in big gulps,

We are broken toys

In the hands,

In the hands.

 

What is, will be,

What is, will be -

So it was before,

Thus be.

They burn without ash,

They burn without ash

Great hope,

Great hope.

The winds should have wings,

Seas of emerald,

Snow-mother of pearl.

You thought it was that simple,

As simple as that.

 

And again, and again, listen,

We breathe in big gulps,

We are broken toys

In the hands of a giant,

In the hands of a giant.

 

And again, and again, listen,

We breathe in big gulps,

We are broken toys

In the hands,

In the hands.

Max Frost ~ "Glow Long"

Lyrics:

 

I been on the low

I been taking my time

I feel like I'm out of my mind

It feel like my life ain't mine

Who can relate?

I been on the low

I been taking my time

I feel like I'm out of my mind

It feel like my life ain't mine

 

I don't wanna be alive

I don't wanna be alive

I just wanna die today

I just wanna die

I don't wanna be alive

I don't wanna be alive

I just wanna die

And let me tell you why

 

All this other shit I'm talkin' 'bout they think they know it

I've been praying for somebody to save me, no one's heroic

And my life don't even matter

I know it I know it I know I'm hurting deep down but can't show it

I never had a place to call my own

I never had a home

Ain't nobody callin' my phone

Where you been? Where you at? What's on your mind?

They say every life precious but nobody care about mine

 

I been on the low

I been taking my time

I feel like I'm out of my mind

It feel like my life ain't mine

Who can relate?

I been on the low

I been taking my time

I feel like I'm out of my mind

It feel like my life ain't mine

 

I want you to be alive

I want you to be alive

You don't gotta die today

You don't gotta die

I want you to be alive

I want you to be alive

You don't gotta die

Now lemme tell you why

 

It's the very first breath

When your head's been drowning underwater

And it's the lightness in the air

When you're there

Chest to chest with the lover

It's holding on, though the road's long

And seeing light in the darkest things

And when you stare at your reflection

Finally knowing who it is

I know that you'll thank God you did

 

I know where you been, where you are, where you goin'

I know you're the reason I believe in life

What's the day without a little night?

I'm just tryna shed a little light

It can be hard

It can be so hard

But you gotta live right now

You got everything to give right now

 

I been on the low

I been taking my time

I feel like I'm out of my mind

It feel like my life ain't mine

Who can relate?

I been on the low

I been taking my time

I feel like I'm out of my mind

It feel like my life ain't mine

 

I finally wanna be alive (Finally wanna be alive)

I finally wanna be alive

I don't wanna die today

I don't wanna die

Finally wanna be alive (Finally wanna be alive)

I finally wanna be alive

I don't wanna die

I don't wanna die

(No, I don't wanna die)

(I just wanna live)

(I just wanna live)

 

Pain don't hurt the same, I know

The lane I travel feels alone

But I'm moving 'til my legs give out

And I see my tears melt in the snow

But I don't wanna cry

I don't wanna cry anymore

I wanna feel alive

I don't even wanna die anymore

Oh I don't wanna

I don't wanna

I don't even wanna die anymore

"Walk On The Ocean"

 

 

We spotted the ocean at the head of the trail

Where are we going, so far away

And somebody told me that this is the place

Where everything's better, everything's safe

 

Walk on the ocean

Step on the stones

Flesh becomes water

Wood becomes bone

 

And half an hour later we packed up our things

We said we'd send letters and all those little things

And they knew we were lying but they smiled just the same

It seemed they'd already forgotten we'd came

 

Walk on the ocean

Step on the stones

Flesh becomes water

Wood becomes bone

 

Walk on the ocean

Step on the stones

Flesh becomes water

Wood becomes bone

 

Now we're back at the homestead

Where the air makes you choke

And people don't know you

And trust is a joke

We don't even have pictures

Just memories to hold

That grow sweeter each season

As we slowly grow old

 

Walk on the ocean

Step on the stones

Flesh becomes water

Wood becomes bone

 

Walk on the ocean

Step on the stones

Flesh becomes water

Wood becomes bone

 

Walk on the ocean

Step on the stones

Flesh becomes water

Wood becomes bone

Hold On by Wilson Phillips

 

 

I don't necessarily feel every single word applies, but the song as a whole helps keep me going on.

 

I know there's pain (I know there's pain)

Why do you lock yourself up in these chains? (These chains)

No one can change your life except for you

Don't ever let anyone step all over you

Just open your heart and your mind (Mmm)

Is it really fair to feel, this way inside? (Woah)

 

Some day somebody's gonna make you want to turn around and say goodbye

Until then, baby, are you going to let 'em hold you down and make you cry?

Don't you know? Don't you know, things can change

Things'll go your way

If you Hold On for one more day

Can you Hold On for one more day?

Things'll go your way

Hold On for one more day

 

You could sustain (You could sustain)

Hm, or are you comfortable with the pain?

You've got no one to blame for your unhappiness (No, baby)

You got yourself into your own mess (Ooh)

Lettin' your worries pass you by (Lettin' your worries pass you by)

Baby, don't you think it's worth your time

To change your mind? (No, no)

 

Some day somebody's gonna make you want to turn around and say goodbye

Until then, baby, are you going to let 'em hold you down and make you cry?

Don't you know? Don't you know, things can change

Things'll go your way

If you Hold On for one more day

Can you Hold On for one more day?

Things'll go your way (Oh, things'll go your way)

Hold On for one more day

 

I know that there is pain, but you

Hold On for one more day, and ya

Break free from the chains

Yeah I know that there is pain, but you

Hold On for one more day, and ya

Break free, break from the chains

Some day somebody's gonna make you want to turn around and say goodbye (and say goodbye)

Until then, baby, are you going to let 'em hold you down and make you cry?

Don't you know? Don't you know, things can change (Know)

Things'll go your way

If you Hold On for one more day, yeah

If you Hold On

Don't you know, things could change

Things could go your way

If you Hold On for one more day

Can you Hold On

Can you Hold On

Mmm, can you Hold On, baby

Won't you tell me now

Hold On for one more day, 'cause

It's gonna go your way

Don't you know, things could change

Things could go your way

If you Hold On for one more day, yeah

Can't you change it this time

Make up your mind

Hold On, Hold On

Baby Hold On
