Paradise Circus - Massive Attack
Love is like a sin, my love
For the ones that feel it the most
Look at her with her eyes like a flame
She will love you like a fly will never love you again
Shahmaran – Sevdaliza
I'd die a million deaths, and you'd resurrect me
I'd fall a billion times, but you wouldn't let me
Eat Your Young (Bekon's Choral Version) – Hozier
I'm starvin', darlin'
Let me put my lips to somethin'
Let me wrap my teeth around the world
Start carvin', darlin'
I wanna smell the dinner cookin'
I wanna feel the edges start to burn
Porno - Arcade Fire
You can cry, I won’t go
You can scream, I won’t go
Every man that you know
Would have run at the word go
NEW DORP. NEW YORK. - SBTRKT, Ezra Koenig
My girl's got a city to run
Got the key to the kingdom where the money's from
Never seen the color yellow never seen the sun
Wolf Like Me - TV On the Radio
Baby doll, I recognize
You're a hideous thing inside
If ever there were a lucky kind
It's you, you, you, you
Closer - Nine Inch Nails
Through every forest, above the trees
Within my stomach, scraped off my knees
I drink the honey inside your hive
You are the reason I stay alive
#1 Crush (Nellee Hooper Mix) – Garbage
I will burn for you
feel pain for you
I will twist the knife and
bleed my aching heart and tear it apart
Your Lips Are Red - St. Vincent
Your lips are red
My face is red from reading your red lips
My hands are red
My hands are red from sealing your red lips
Heretic Pride - The Mountain Goats
Crowds grow denser by the second
As we near the center of the town
And they dig a trench right in the main square right there
And they pick me up and throw me down
And I start laughing like a child
And I mark their faces one by one
Transfiguration's gonna come for me at last
And I will burn hotter than the sun

Lyrics under the cut
T.N.T - AC/DC
Ain't got no gun
Ain't got no knife
Don't you start no fight
'Cause I'm T.N.T., I'm dynamite
Bad Moon Rising - Creedence Clearwater Revival
Hope you got your things together
Hope you are quite prepared to die
Looks like we're in for nasty weather
One eye is taken for an eye
Well don't go around tonight
Well it's bound to take your life
There's a bad moon on the rise
Eye of the Tiger - Survivor
So many times, it happens too fast
You trade your passion for glory
Don't lose your grip on the dreams of the past
You must fight just to keep them alive
It's the eye of the tiger, it's the thrill of the fight
Risin' up to the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night
And he's watching us all with the eye of the tiger
Hungry Like the Wolf - Duran Duran
In touch with the ground
I'm on the hunt I'm after you
A scent and a sound, I'm lost and I'm found
And I'm hungry like the wolf
Don’t Stop Me Now - Queen
I'm having such a good time
I'm having a ball
(Don't stop me now) if you wanna have a good time
just give me a call
'cause I'm having a good time
(Don't stop me now) yes, I'm havin' a good time
and I don't wanna stop at all, yeah
Let's Go Crazy - Prince
We're all excited
but we don't know why
Maybe it's 'cause
we're all gonna die
And when we do (when we do)
what's it all for? (what's it all for?)
You better live now
'fore the grim reaper come knocking on your door
Take It Easy - Eagles
Don't let the sound of your own wheels drive you crazy
Lighten up while you still can
Don't even try to understand
Just find a place to make your stand
And take it easy
The Joker - Steve Miller Band
Some people call me the space cowboy, yeah
Some call me the gangster of love
Beast of Burden - The Rolling Stones
l'll never be your beast of burden
I've walked for miles, my feet are hurting
All I want is for you to make love to me
Ramble On - Led Zeppelin
Got no time for spreadin' roots
The time has come to be gone
And though "Our Health" we drank a thousand times
It's time to ramble on

Lyrics under the cut
Where Eagles Dare - Misfits
Let's test your threshold of pain
Let's see how long you last
That tappin' in your retina
Unbosoms all your past
With jaded eyes and features
You think they really care?
Let's go where eagles dare
We'll go where eagles dare
-
I ain't no goddamn son of a bitch
You better think about it, baby
Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap - AC/DC
Pick up the phone, I'm always home
Call me anytime
Just ring, 3-6-2-4-3-6, hey
I lead a life of crime
Dirty deeds (done dirt cheap)
Dirty deeds (done dirt cheap)
Dirty deeds (done dirt cheap)
Dirty deeds and they're done dirt cheap
Dirty deeds and they're done dirt cheap
Pay Your Way In Pain - St. Vincent
I went to the store, I was feelin' kinda hungry
But I didn't have the money and the shelves were all empty
So I went to the bank to ch-ch-ch-check my checking
The man looked at my face, said, "We don't have a record"
Oh no, you thought we had forgotten?
The show is only gettin' started
The road is feelin' like a pothole
Sit down, stand up, head down, hands up, and
Pay your way in pain
Wrecking Ball - Mother Mother
I made a wreck out of my hand
I put it through the wall
I made a fist and not a plan
-
I am unruly in the stands
I am a rock on top of the sand
I am a fist amidst the hands
And I break it just because I can
The Modern Leper - Frightened Rabbit
See, I've got this disease, I can't shake
And I'm just rattling through life
Well, oh, this is how we do things now
This is how the modern stay scared
So I cut out all the good stuff
Yeah, I cut of my foot to spite my leg
Fill in the Blank - Car Seat Headrest
I'm so sick of: fill in the blank
Accomplish more, accomplish nothing
If I were split in two, I would just take my fists
So I can beat up the rest of me
-
I've got a right to be depressed
(You've got no right to be depressed)
I've given every inch I had to fight it
(You haven't tried hard enough to like it)
I have seen too much of this world, yes
(Haven't seen enough of this world yet)
But it hurts, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts
Thick Skull - Paramore, Julien Baker
Hit over the head
epiphany, epiphany
Over my head
repeatedly, repeatedly
Thick skull never did
nothin' for me, nothin’ for me
Same lesson again?
Come on, give it to me, give it to me
All These Things That I've Done - The Killers
I wanna stand up, I wanna let go
You know, you know? No, you don't, you don't
I wanna shine on in the hearts of man
I want a meanin' from the back of my broken hand
Another head aches, another heart breaks
I'm so much older than I can take
And my affection, well, it comes and goes
I need direction to perfection- no, no, no, no
Help me out, yeah
You know you gotta help me out, yeah
Oh, don't you put me on the back burner
You know you gotta help me out, yeah
Yes I'm Changing - Tame Impala
I saw it different, I must admit
I caught a glimpse, I'm going after it
They say people never change but that's bullshit, they do
Yes, I'm changing, can't stop it now
And even if I wanted, I wouldn't know how
Another version of myself I think I've found at last
Amy aka Spent Gladiator 1 - The Mountain Goats
Do every stupid thing that makes you feel alive
Do every stupid thing to try to drive the dark away
Let people call you crazy for the choices that you make
Climb limits past the limits, jump in front of trains all day
And stay alive
Just stay alive

Don't wanna make you mad now

In the Summertime - Mungo Jerry
We're not grey people, we're not dirty, we're not mean

Yeah, that's our philosophy
The Wanderer - Dion
Oh well, I'm the type of guy who will never settle down
Where pretty girls are, well you know that I'm around

I roam around, around, around

Lyrics under the cut
Shelter From The Storm - Bob Dylan
I was burned out from exhaustion
Buried in the hail
Poisoned in the bushes
And blown out on the trail
Hunted like a crocodile
Ravaged in the corn
"Come in," she said, "I'll give ya
Shelter from the storm"
Animal Tracks - Mountain Men
We'll drink horse bark root beer
And sit on your back stairs
And I'll whisper in your hair
In the summer air
And the sweat will roll down our backs
And we'll follow animal tracks
To a tree in the woods and a hole in the leaves
We'll see
The bright baby eyes of a chickadee
The Trouble With Wanting - Joy Williams
Always on my mind, always alone
you could be miles and miles away
but somehow you're close
If I can't have my cake, and I can't eat it too
Well, I guess the sound of your voice
and the aching'll just have to do
'Cause the trouble with wanting is I want you
and I want you all the time
Train Song - Feist ft. Ben Gibbard
It's so many miles and so long since I've left you
Don't even know what I'll find when I get to you
But suddenly now, I know where I belong
It's many hundred miles, and it won't be long
Wasteland, Baby! - Hozier
Wasteland, baby
I'm in love, I'm in love with you
And I love too, that love soon might end
Be known in its aching
Shown in the shaking
Lately of my wasteland, baby
Province - TV On The Radio
Suddenly, all your history's ablaze
Try to breathe, as the world disintegrates
Just like autumn leaves, we're in for change
Holding tenderly to what remains
--
Hold your heart courageously
As we walk into this dark place
Stand steadfast, erect and see
That love is the province of the brave
Howl - Florence + The Machine
Screaming in the dark, I howl when we're apart
Drag my teeth across your chest
to taste your beating heart
My fingers claw your skin, try to tear my way in
You are the moon that breaks the night
for which I have to howl
Even If It Hurts - Tei Shei feat. Blood Orange
I wanna wake up in the middle of the night with you
I'll put it all out on table if you ask me to
And I don't tell you where to go and who to love that ain't me
All I want is honesty
--
Even if it hurts, baby
Even if you're lost, baby
Say you wanna come, say you wanna stay
Say you wanna leave, lately
Tell me what you need, baby
I don't wanna feel crazy
Even if it hurts
I Would Die 4 U - Prince
And if you're evil
I'll forgive you by and by, 'cause you
I would die for you, yeah
Darling, if you want me to
Without Your Love - The Paper Kites feat. Julia Stone
Like a storm in your brain
Like thunder in your veins
I can feel, I can touch, I can tell when it’s too much
I can call out your name, I can try and keep the flame
Burning bright, hold a hand to the night
But it ain’t nothing
Without your love, without your love
A Mountain With No Ending - Classix feat. Panama
And I want for you to know
When you are gone
This house is a ghost
Don't know if I'll wait
This time for sure
When the door is shut
My thoughts are on fire
The Loose Ends Will Make Knots - Stars
I just want your past
I just want you now
Tomorrow I'll want more
Until we’re underground
Is that too much to ask?
People, I’ve Been Sad - Christine and the Queens
If you disappear,
then I'm disappearing too
(You know the feeling)
If you fall apart
then I'm falling behind you
(You know the feeling)
Twilight Galaxy - Metric
I'm alright, come on, baby
I've seen all the demons that you've got
If you're not alright now, come on, baby
I'll pick you up and take, take you where you want
Anywhere you want
In A Week - Hozier feat. Karen Cowley
And they'd find us in a week
When the buzzards get loud
After the insects have made their claim
After the foxes have known our taste
After the raven has had his say
I'd be home with you, I'd be home with you

Lyrics under the cut
Human - Daughter
Woken up like an animal, teeth ready for sinking
My mind's lost in bleak visions
I've tried to escape but keep sinking
Black Truck - Mereba
I've been through the fire, I felt embers down my spine
And I've said “World would you please have some mercy on me?
Or could you please lift the curses on me?"
It said, “You always did
Like it the hard way since you was a kid
Look at the scars on your leg, you --
You keep choosing the wild road"
Don’t Move - Phantogram
A hole is in the sky
It's not your heart that you've been thinkin’ of,
just the feeling like you're gonna die
--
All you know how to do is shake, shake
Keep your body still, keep your body still
Ritual Union
Mother, tell me how it is. I know you've been through all of this
You ran away so many times - your kids, your heart,
a couple of dimes
Love is not like they say. A lie, that it's hard to make it stay
I drown my feelings in the sea, they dried out over on the beach
Panic Room – Au/Ra
Still waiting, hands shaking, maybe the coast will clear
But these voices, these strange noises, they followed me in here
Simmer – Hayley Williams
Rage is a quiet thing.
Oh, you think that you've tamed it, but it's just lying in wait
Rage, is it in our veins?
Feel it in my face when I least expect it.
(Give in)
Steal – Maribou State
You were running blind, following your feet
to try and outrun your fate
Standing in a field of flowers, cerebral voices the loudest,
all hollering your name
Call you a sinner man, call it second sight,
they treat 'em all the same
It's the thinnest line they hung you out by
Empty – Metric
There was no way out, the only way out was to give in
When there's no way out, the only way out is to give in
How I love to give in
Shrike - Hozier
Words hung above, but never would form
Like a cry at the final breath that is drawn
Remember me, love, when I'm reborn
As a shrike to your sharp and glorious thorn
Line of Fire – José Gonzalez
You’re standing on higher ground
But when you hear the sound you realize it’s just the wind
And you notice it matters, who & what you let under your skin
-
If put to the test, would you step back from the line of fire?

Lyrics under the cut
Après Moi – Regina Spektor
I must go on standing
You can't break that which isn't yours
I must go on standing
I'm not my own, it's not my choice
--
Après moi, le deluge
After me comes the flood
Human Shape – Mindchatter
I forgot who I was
I wish that that would last
But now I'm back, but now I'm back
My skin is really clay
I mold myself to human shape for practicality
For practicality's sake
Heart Shaped Box – Nirvana
I've been drawn into your magnet tar pit trap
I wish I could eat your cancer when you turn black
--
Hey, wait, I got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice
Marrow – St. Vincent
Muscle connects to the bone
And bone to the ire and the marrow
So I pretend there aren't ten strings
tied to all ten of my fingers
My Body Is a Cage – Arcade Fire
I'm living in an age whose name I don't know
Though the fear keeps me moving
still my heart beats so slow
My body is a cage that keeps me
From dancing with the one I love
But my mind holds the key
Breaking Down – Florence + The Machine
I can see you coming from the edge of the room
Creeping in the streetlight
Holding my hand in the pale gloom
Can you see it coming now?
Oh, I think I'm breaking down again
How to Disappear Completely – Radiohead
That there
That's not me
I go
Where I please
-
I'm not here
This isn't happening
I'm not here
I'm not here
In a little while
I'll be gone
The moment's already passed
Yeah, it's gone
And I'm not here
This isn't happening
I'm not here
I'm not here
Every Single Night – Fiona Apple
If what I am is what I am cause I does what I does
Then brother get back, cause my breast's gonna bust open
The rib is the shell, and a heart is the yolk
And I just made a meal for us both to choke on
This Must Be the Place (Naïve Melody) – Talking Heads
I'm just an animal looking for a home and
Share the same space for a minute or two
And you love me 'til my heart stops
Love me 'til I'm dead
Eyes that light up, eyes look through you
Cover up the blank spots, hit me on the head
On Melancholy Hill – Gorillaz
Up on Melancholy Hill, there's a plastic tree
Are you here with me?
Just looking out on the day of another dream
Where you can't get what you want, but you can get me
So let's set out to sea, love
'Cause you are my medicine when you're close to me
