Song Of The Day : a taste of darkness

(Album: City Sleeps In Flames -don't you just love that cover, I know I do-)

Who knew rock songs could have such deep meaning in it. I've been listening to this one group for about 2 or 3 years. They completely blow me away lyrically. I don't know if yall will get it, but it gets me. It hits me. Powerful stuff man. SHEESH! Then its the powerful voice behind it just letting it all out. UGH! Then its the strong music. You can't help but just listen.

So just listen . . .

Scary Kids Scaring Kids - Star Crossed

Lyrics

Star crossed lovers
They say we're not meant to be
'Cause the stars in the sky
And the fashion that they are aligned
I say if the futures been drawn out
There's no point in living
I wont give up my love so
That fate can have its way

If the stars say that you couldn't love me
Are you telling me that you would listen?
If the words make their way from your mouth
Don't ask my permission
All is forgiven

Star crossed lovers
We do what we want to
Some learn the hard way
We all learn through consequence
I say if the futures been drawn out
Then nobody's living
I won't give you up love
So fate can have its way, its way

If the stars say that you couldn't love me
Are you telling me that you would listen?
If the words make their way from your mouth
Don't ask my permission
All is forgiven

Is it over?
(The stars keep this fire from burning out)
Is it over?
(Are you saying that you'd really listen?)
Is it over?
(The stars keep this fire)
Is it over?
(The stars keep this fire)

If the stars say that you couldn't love me
Are you telling me that you would listen?
If the words make their way from your mouth
Don't ask my permission
All is forgiven.

If the stars say that you can not love
(The stars keep this fire from burning out)
If the stars say that you can not love me

BONG! Damn. How can you not love those lyrics. It took me a minute that the singer was describing a Romeo and Juliet scenario. Man . . . If I could write a story about this. Excuse me . . .

Scary Kids Scaring Kids - Breath Of Sunshine

Lyrics

Lost myself in an endless goodnight
Kept the time by the patterns of the streetlight
Couldn't get it right
I could never get it right
Sadly, this is a wasted conversation
Lost on you, lost on you
This is a test of my patience
Your blue eyes are so cruel
I can't escape all the things we said
I'm taking years off my life with the weight of regret
Now there's nothing left
There is nothing left to lose

[Chorus:]
Shouldn't I feel alive?
I swear that I tried
To be alright
To sleep at night
Shouldn't I feel alive?

The night fades with a breath of sunshine
I'll do my best to adjust to the morning light
I cant keep my place
Feels like I've been awake for days
Sadly, you turn away and now I'm faced
With the harsh truth, the harsh truth
My cold heart is a place where true love cannot bloom

[Chorus:]
Shouldn't I feel alive?
I swear that I tried
To be alright
To sleep at night
Shouldn't I feel alive?

There's static on the airwaves
I'll try to find the light through all this haze
I can't find the words that I'm trying to say
So try to forget me as I walk away

[Chorus:]
Shouldn't I feel alive?
I swear that I tried
To be alright
To sleep at night
Shouldn't I feel alive?

Now I really feel this song. It speaks to me cause I be feeling some kind of ways about things. That's all I'm gonna say, but I love this song.

I told yall this blog is about exposure. Introducing yall to different music.
