Anniversary year - for so many things

Tend to blow my dews
Like a nurse made to help battle wounds
Scars are like a trophy I carry with me

- Honeyblood, Bud

Bring me oblivion

I want to smash it up

I want to break it down

I want a wall of tears

To wash away

- Underworld, Dark & Long

Will her touch ever fade?

But I loved her with my last breath
And I loved her with a love that was strong as death
And I loved her when she was unkind

And I loved her, I loved her, with a dangerous mind

- Suede, She Still Leads Me On

 

At 46 still occasionally

Sometimes have my breakfast right off of a mirror

And sometimes I'll have it right out of a bottle

Come on

   Spiritualized, Home Of The Brave

An understanding

 Without You I'm Nothing Was Not True

- With apologies to Placebo and Xinlisupreme

They just don't understand

People say friends don't destroy one another

 
What do they know about friends?

- The Mountain Goats, Game Shows Touch Our Lives

 

And just like that

The angles you don't plan for
The things you might have missed
Those things exist

But under the waxing winter sun
I feel like we're almost gone
Just pick a lane and drive right through
Headed off to freedom with you

Dreams of the future
Up in the front of my mind
Leave a couple dozen bodies behind 

Pull your hair back tight

Head right for the extraction point
And if you don't hear from me

let them all go free

- The Mountain Goats, Extraction Point

 

Would you

My sole obsession 

Finally I feel it fading

Walk me home

And walk away? 

- Nation of Language, Sole Obsession

Only In Dreams

Someone take these dreams away

That point me to another day

- Joy Division, Dead Souls

Far away

Now she's a thousand thousand metres away

I can't measure miles

- Brakes, Fell In Love With A Girl

Still true

 Tell her I wanted to be there

And that story we told - it's still true

- True Detective, Season 2 Episode 8

Back to the beautiful race

it's a maze for rats to try

it's a maze for rats to try

it's a race

a race for rats

a race for rats to die

it's a race

a race for rats

a race for rats to die 

- Placebo, Slave To The Wage

Change your situation

I understand the fascination
The dream that comes alive at night
But if you don't change your situation
Then you'll die, you'll die, don't die, don't die
Please don't die

- Placebo, Commercial For Levi

Healing

How can you search for healing
At thе feet of the one who broke you?
I know that everything hurts
But I know that everything can heal

I feel so good without you
But I feel so lost without you
And I know that everything hurts
But I know that everything can heal

- Crows, Healing

Time heals, but the wound remains

If you came 

I would cave

In an instant

- Kills Birds, Married

A long time ago

Stella

I love you

Stella 

I love you 

She broke away, broke away

- Interpol, Stella Was A Diver And She Was Always Down

 

You should be in my space

You should be in my life

- Interpol, Narc 

Hurt the ones you love

You can't say all of those things

And then just take it all away

- Do Nothing, Handshakes

Never

No

You're never gonna feel complete

 
No

You're never gonna be released

- Low, Days Like These

Protect me from memory

 

Maybe we're victims of fate
Remember when we'd celebrate?
We'd drink and get high until late
And now we're all alone

Wedding bells ain't gonna chime
With both of us guilty of crime
And both of us sentenced to time
And now we're all alone

- Placebo, Protect Me From What I Want

Still breathing, for what it's worth

When I'm buried in the ground
I won't be able to make your birthday drinks but I will still feel guilty
You see, when the air warms up like this
It brings every single memory of you back and it makes me so sick, I can't breathe
Except I am still breathing, aren't I?
Sometimes I think that's the problem

- Self Esteem, I Do This All The Time
