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

Always

If I get one love

only get one love

then I choose you

then I choose you

- Estrons, Cameras

 

The only woman to me

She can kill with a smile, she can wound with her eyes
And she can ruin your faith with her casual lies
And she only reveals what she wants you to see
She hides like a child but she's always a woman to me

- Billy Joel, She's Always A Woman

I've been waiting such a long time

And I can't tell you that I'm wasted
And I can't tell you that I'm wasted on you
And I think about your body
How it's wasting

how it's wasting
And I'm wasted telling jokes to you
'Cause you can't hear me

you can't hear me
You can't hear a word I'm saying
And you're not here
But your body is getting closer every day

 
And I wade

 

Until I'm knee deep in water, I can't breathe
And I can never tеll you that I've had enough
And I can nevеr make it stop
And I can't tell you that I'm wasted on you

 

So I wade deeper
Plunge my head into the water
Sink into it, rise above it
Climb into the sky, I love it
I love it

 

Do you ever think about
Who you were then and who you are now?

 

And I miss you but I'll never ever,

ever

ever

ever.... 

- Porridge Radio, 7 Seconds

Scream into the void

You said

this would be
The last time you'd ever hurt me
You said

this would be the last time I'd ever cry
Last time

I didn't know
How was I supposed to know
This time

I found it
I know how to scream

I don't owe you anything
I'm not part of you
You can't take away everything
I'm not part of you

- Sleater-Kinney, The Last Song

 

History doesn't teach; it makes dumb

 I guess maybe it was naive, but I thought that together we could let go of all that baggage.

- Lisa, House Of Cards, ch. 32

Warnings

But you let me in and
You will regret it
'Cause I'm only looking
For my skewed reflection in you

- Soccer Mommy, Royal Screw Up
