Favorite Song Of The Week

This has always been my favorite song off Lucy Gray, but after seeing the video (click link below), I've been slightly more obsessed. Envy On the Coast still stand as some of my favorite song-writers. This song has a ton-o lyrics...and they're all great! Anyone can feel free to buy the video and send it to me. Or an Envy On the Coast t-shirt for that matter...

MY FAVORITE SONG THIS WEEK IS:

Mirrors
by: Envy On The Coast

Dear Ms. White,

Put down this night
You wouldn't believe how much it snows
In the summer heat with red iron feet
You'll be nursing a bloody nose

Princess, rest
We talk in our sleep
But wouldn't dare to sit too close
I can't be your prince
Though your secrets are safe
I am the mirror who can't let go

With hair as black as night
Her skin a dead, pearly white
And the blood, red on the bathroom wall

With every breath and every intake
Tip-toe further away
Further away from this mistake
I'm no savior, I'm no saint, saint
(That's not what you needed anyway)
All the cold that you caught
The bones that you bought
The blood that you've lost
You built your body in the coffin where you sleep

Let this apartment breathe
Cause it's what it needs
I'm suffocating the clock to keep you
I think like a saint
But swing like a thief
And inadvertently leading you
To believe I'm your prince
Adorn your bedroom with hints
Take the red from your eyes
And ink it into your skin
Now watch what you say
Cause there's nothing gray
About the color of your sin

With hair as black as night
Her skin a dead, pearly white
And the blood, red on the bathroom wall

With every breath and every intake
Tip-toe further away
Further away from this mistake
I'm no savior, I'm no saint, saint
(That's not what you needed anyway)
All the cold that you caught
The bones that you bought
The blood that you've lost
You built your body in the coffin where you sleep

A fix
Just a little bit
Give the girl enough to sleep through this
So stop staring at the mirror before it tells you the truth
Cooperate or it'll kill you, too

With every breath and every intake
Tip-toe further away
You're bleeding, you're bloodshot
Tired mistake
I'm no savior, I'm no saint, saint
(You need to see the pieces you've thrown away)
All the cold that you caught
The bones that you bought
The blood that you've lost
Keep your body
Get the hell away

From,
Me

It Was A Thereputic Chain of Events

So, this afternoon upon leaving school I accidentally left my brand new copy of Viva La Vida by Coldplay and my beloved copy of Lost In The Sound of Seperation (Underoath) on top of my car. And drove away. So I'm hoping they're shattered somewhere around the school grounds for me to retrieve tomorrow. I'm positive most of you already know this, and are probably getting annoyed already, but it deeply saddens me. Such a waste...

In memorial of Viva La Vida and Lost In The Sound of Separation:

Favorite Song Of The Week

Well, I was going to post Family Force 5's Fever but just by looking at the lyrics I can tell everyone will be bored instantly. A lot of repition. Of the word 'fever.' Its a great song and you should all love it. But for something more creative that most of you probably haven't heard...

MY FAVORITE SONG THIS WEEK IS...

Hotel Aquarium
by: Falling Up



Is this another complication I face?
Here is the mistake, coming back to catch me.

To you, to you I hold.

Now I know that I'm alive.
All the loneliness is filled by you inside.
And as I finally breathe the air, you open up my eyes.
Now I'm alive.

A lesson in breathing is never using control.
Seconds from this place, I've never been so unsure.

To the heights, to the heights, there is hope.
It's been waiting all along.
To the heights, to the heights, there is hope.
Waiting.


But really. Family Force 5, Remedy Drive and Underoath's album are on this list. Thats just a few too many...

Hardkore Tambourine

Well, I don't know what to tell you. I've actually been avoiding this post lately. (It's the 80th, by the way). I sat with my internet open on the "Create New Page" page for a couple of hours last night. Obviously I never accomplished anything. Well we'll start from the last post and work our way up. Shall we? We shall.

Remedy Drive. They should really be the basis of most of my posts, they're very much deserving of it. But alas, they aren't THAT interesting Melanie...(they are, but we don't need to go there). The album is great and amazing live, as predicted. I met them all at LifeLight and they are friendly and gregarious (take that Klawonn!), as they were last time. I was just more knowledgeable as to what their names are.


Underoath. *cough* Lost In The Sound Of Separation...despite the general lack of Aaron Gillespie (other than his preeminent drumming skillz) it pretty much makes you want to rip off your face and stick your skull in acid bath. In a good way. I don't know what else to say, the love of Underoath only applies to a select few, so most of you probably aren't reading this at all.

HEY COME BACK!
You should really leave a comment if you came back. Wow. That was so lame. Moving on... (But really, I like comments).

LifeLight. Despite my mysterious, cadaverous sickness, it was a blasty-blast. The Family Force 5 mosh left me in a less-than-appealing state, 'specially after dry heaving...twice. Well, thats what you get for attempting to leave during Luv Addict. Seeing FF5 twice left me in a state of adoration, though. Their album Dance Or Die is currently floating around at the top of my playlists. I also got to see Remedy Drive twice. They were great, I really don't want to describe with words. Or feelings. I'm just so glad I got to see one of my most favorite bands again. They should be coming back to Sioux Falls again in the near future too! I'll be there!


Well, in school, I'm maintaining my 4.0 GPA as far as I know and such. It's going well, I guess. I sometimes feel bad though, learning and acing stuff and things just comes so easy for me. But I guess that makes up for my complete lack of being capable of doing anything else. Like boys...or dancing...like having a date at winter formal. *glare* You know who you are. And if you don't know what I'm talking about, just pity me, please...

What is Melanie listening to right now?: Radiator - Family Force 5
See what I mean?
See you again in about a month!
