"Echo" -- Trapt

 

Close my eyes, let the whole thing pass me by
There is no time...
to waste asking why
I'll run away with you by my side
I'll run away with you by my side
(close my eyes, let the whole thing pass me by)
I need to let go, let go, let go, let go of this pride
(asking why)

I think about your face, and how I fall into your eyes
The outline that I trace, around the one that I call mine
A time that called for space, unclear where you drew the line
I don't need to solve this case, and I don't need to look behind

Close my eyes, let the whole thing pass me by
There is no time to waste asking why (asking why)
I'll run away with you by my side (by my side)
I'll run away with you by my side (I'll run away with you)
(close my eyes, let the whole thing pass me by)
I need to let go, let go, let go, let go of this pride
(asking why)

Do I expect to change the past I hold inside
With all the words I say repeating over in my mind
Some things you can't erase, no matter how hard you try
An exit to escape is all there is left to find

Close my eyes, let the whole thing pass me by
There is no time to waste asking why (asking why)
I'll run away with you by my side (by my side)
I'll run away with you by my side (I'll run away with you)
(close my eyes, let the whole thing pass me by)
I need to let go, let go, let go, let go of this pride
Until this echo, echo, echo, echo in my mind
Until this echo, echo, echo, echo can subside

So I
Close my eyes, let the whole thing pass me by
There is no time to waste asking why
I'll run away with you by my side
I'll run away with you by my side (I'll run away with you)
(close my eyes, let the whole thing pass me by)
I need to let go, let go, let go, let go of this pride
Until this echo, echo, echo, echo in my mind
Until this echo, echo, echo, echo can subside

"Calling" -- Taproot

Your face, is burned inside my brain
(I lost my way)
Your taste, of skin flows through my veins
(The cost I pay)

'Cause you'll never understand me
You want me to stay

You're ca-ca-ca-calling
But I can't hear you
I'm not listening anymore
You're subject to falling
But I can't save you
I don't see you anymore

The race of slowing down the pace
(I found a way)
The pace of speaking so mundane
(The sound of gain)

But you'll never make me happy
So I've extinguished the flame

You're ca-ca-ca-calling
But I can't hear you
I'm not listening anymore
You're subject to falling
But I can't save you
I don't see you anymore

And what you want me to say
I'll never say
You're playing the game
That I'll never play
So what do you want from me
Now I've extinguished the flame

You're ca-ca-ca-calling
But I can't hear you
I'm not listening anymore
You're subject to falling
But I can't save you
I don't see you anymore

You're ca-ca-ca-calling
But I can't hear you
I'm not listening anymore
You're fa-fa-fa-falling
But I can't save you
I don't see you anymore

"Matches" -- Ephixa & Stephen Walking

Burn
I'm burning in my skin
Can't get them out of my head
Oh, words
These words you said to me, yeah
Stop my heart, barely beating

And now I'm stuck on the beat
I can't sleep through this madness
It's madness
Tame the fire, suffer to live in the ashes
In the ashes

That's what happens
When gasoline plays with matches
That's what happens, happens, happens
That's what happens
When gasoline plays with matches
That's what happens, happens, happens

Water
I need this like water
Surround ourselves in self destruction
Self worth
Need someone to come reconstruct it
You know it, you got it bad
And I got it, I got it bad
We got it bad
And now we're back to that
Feeling we never had
Just pretend
Catalyze my catatonic mind
Give it life

But until it burns too bright
Burns too bright
Consume whatever's left inside
Under cover of night
With her passed out of sight
We both knew it wasn't right

That's what happens
When gasoline plays with matches
That's what happens, happens, happens
That's what happens
When gasoline plays with matches
That's what happens, happens, happens
When gasoline plays with matches
Yeah, yeah, burn

And we must wanna be hurt
And we must wanna be burned
And we must wanna be burned
And we must wanna be

Haha perhaps! I doubt it though  you'd be the first I've found! I brazenly LOVE Shania Twain and Lee Ann Womack etc equally as much as Escape the Fate and A Day to Remember etc...

Not really about enlightenment, but let's say spiritually refreshing.

I love this band, and I know there are some out there who can see the same beauty and talent I see:

[Carl-Richard]

See the lights out on the water
Come and go, to and from
In the time it takes to find them
You can live, you can die
And nothing stops the river as it goes by
Nothing stops the river as it goes

All alone and all together
Every day, come what may
By the time we find each other
We can live, we can die
And nothing stops the river as it flows by
Nothing stops the river as it goes

Giving In To The Love -Aurora

I’m losing my connection
I’m tired of the rules and your corrections
I want to live my life, be all of it’s pages
And underline that I am not an angel

‘Cause if I’m not pure, I guess that I’m too much
I’ll never know how to keep in, keep in touch

If I’ll be somebody, I’ll never let my skin be decided for me
I’ll never have the world, so why change for it?
I’ll never have the world, so why change for it?

Giving in to the love
Giving in to the love
Giving in to the love, the love, the love, the love

Someone out there is trying to find somebody whole who is not dying
But everybody cries and nobody comforts
The television lies and now my mind hurts

And if I’m not loved, I guess that I am cursed
I gotta know how to beat it, beat it first

If I’ll be somebody, I’ll never let my skin be decided for me
I’ll never have the world, so why change for it?
I’ll never have the world, so why change for it?

Giving in to the love
Giving in to the love
Giving in to the love, the love, the love, the love, the love

[Vincent S]

My love is like foot steps in the snow, baby,
I follow you everywhere you go, baby.
The pain as light has come to wake you

But you will never realize, That I inspire the dreams that guide you, baby.
I follow the winds that bring the cold, baby, I light a fire in your soul, baby.
The lightest touch of feathers falling, My love might be invisible

But I inspire the dreams that guide you, baby, You're a half a world away
But in my mind I whisper every single word you say.
And before you sleep at night You pray to me, your lucky star, your singing satellite.
Your singing satellite, You say a prayer You say a prayer You're a half a world away

But in my mind I whisper every single word you say.
And before you sleep at night You pray to me, your lucky star, your singing satellite.
You're a half a world away, But in my mind I whisper every single word you say.
And before you sleep at night, You pray to me, your lucky star, your singing satellite...

[allislove]

This is my fight song
Take back my life song
Prove I'm alright song
My power's turned on
Starting right now I'll be strong
I'll play my fight song
And I don't really care if nobody else believes
'Cause I've still got a lot of fight left in me
