"For those young people – including you – who live this modern agonising adolescence and who are wanting the true radical music, I sincerely wish the dialogue accompanied by piercing pain will be born and fill this recital hall.” — 水谷孝

Tears For Fears - Memories Fade

There's only need, I love your need So much I'm losing me I cannot see the reason for the pain With hungry joy, I'll be your toy Just hoping you will play Without the hope, my body starts to fail Memories fade but the scars still linger Goodbye, my friend Will I ever love again? Memories fade but the scars still linger I cannot grow, I cannot move I cannot feel my age The vice like grip of tension holds me fast Engulfed by you, what can I do? When history's my cage Look forward to a future in the past Memories fade but the scars still linger Goodbye, my friend Will I ever love again? Memories fade but the scars still linger The more I talk, the more I say The less you seem to hear I'm speechless in a most peculiar way Your mind is weak, your need is great And nothing is too dear For you to use to take the pain away Memories fade but the scars still linger Goodbye, my friend Will I ever love again? Memories fade Now don't pretend, you can justify the end Memories fade but the scars still linger Still linger Still linger

Unwound - Disappoint

Do introductions all sound the same? Do interruptions always create the play? Ever want the "point of no return" Or do you like the way it burns? I never want to dive Inside this heart of mine Having no idea What ever happened to... I never want to dive Inside this heart of mine Having no idea What ever happened to... I'll disappear and then I won't know it's true Disappointed in me, disappointed in you Disillusion wouldn't be the end 'Cause a different time wouldn't be so cruel...

Stina Nordenstam - Get On With Your Life

They put a needle once in my spine It took them so long to find it... I can't get this pornfilm out of my head Let's get on with it

It is banging inside It is singing aloud Get on with your life

All over the world they get out of bed Love dies every second I can't get this creature out of my way Killing it is not an option

It is biting your nails So as not to scratch Get on with your life

It is counting aloud 'Til the battery dies Get on with your life

And I try to get up and I try to move but This thing won't let me It's heavy as a man's body on you And it's this close to get me

It is banging inside It is singing aloud Get on with your life

'Til the battery dies 'Til the battery dies Get on with your life

Mr Twin Sister - Sensitive

You've given me affection It's never enough Reflections to hold Abilities to hold in the mind A memory A memory to keep To know by heart What's precious to me I can't remember you but you know it I've forgotten everything

Finding out the actual year made me realize how much happier I was not knowing I'm heavily distracted is this just an illusion is this romantic dreaming? I've forgotten everything

Blow my sorrows away Warm my cold heart I want to recognize you but I don't know who you are... Is this romantic dreaming? Is this just an illusion? Is this romantic dreaming? A memory? I've forgotten everything

Ora Cogan - Feel Life

Sunrise Hands shaking Perfect poison for the pain Slow death to awaken From the clouds of indecision Red velvet, baby blue I woke up next to you With a record skipping in my head Well, everything shatters, trying so hard not to feel love But I can see you leaning on the wall In the back just looking through me Clouds lift and the moment is gone I want you to feel life I want love I (you) was the last thing you (I) want And you know dear that I love you I was the last thing...

Swans - Her Mouth Is Filled With Honey

She's er, really in a stage now Last night, just before bedtime, I wondered where she was I thought I heard the hi-fi going, the stereo And I opened the living room door and she was stretched down on the Davenport With er, some kind of her favorite music going And had a incense burning, and the lights out, lying in the dark I guess she was mooning over that boyfriend...

Swans - Blood Promisse

When silence falls and light remains And time is born beneath the sun I'll hide your name inside a word And paint your eyes with false perception

And I feel your mind in everything And every breath destroys a sound And I never will follow a false sensation And I'll always believe your blood promise

And every breath I stole from you But I never will see your broken body And you never have spoken an unclear word And I'll never betray your blood promise

Yukihiro Takahashi - This Island Earth

So I send an SOS Semaphore myself Catch me falling finally Through the air and underground Everywhere this sound Screams whisper "I can't breathe" I feel it in my bones Though I know I'm not alone You're spinning far too far from me So cruel to be so kind Now I know I'll always find This island earth A mystery

As I stumble through the dark Dream lovers dream apart Starry-eyed a vision rushes in Do I wonder or care... My spirit's bleeding god knows where A never-ending stream

I tried to love, tried to find My soul in shadows running blind And restless as the sea Via sidewalks through the haze Wandering as in a maze Lost in number time and space So near and yet so far Castaway as strangers are This island earth And you and me...

David Lynch - The Answers to The Questions

And now There was a feeling A feeling of falling She felt she would never find the answer The answer to the questions The questions she asked him When he was here

She thought they had a bond An unshakable bond But was it too good to be true... She fell into a dark dream of despair

Oh Dark clouds roiling above in a dark wind But then she saw him She saw him in light She saw him in love...

Yo La Tengo - Everyday

I want summer's sad songs behind me I want a laugh a minute without fail Wanna be Paul Le Mat in 1980 Looking to forget tomorrow, looking every day

I wanna see you put your hands together I wanna cross my heart, I wanna hope to die I hear Kate Moss talk, she talks to me She's looking for a new beginning every day

When Monday comes, I want nothing Come Tuesday morning, I want the same

(Everyday) The days and nights (Everyday) fly by (Everyday) looking to embrace the nothing of the everyday (Everyday) looking to embrace the nothing of the everyday (Everyday) looking to embrace the nothing of the everyday Everyday, everyday Everyday, everyday Everyday...
