"what defines a straight man's straight? is it the boxer in the briefs or a twelve ounce steak?"

"porque me haces enloquecer, tú me enchinas la piel, cada parte de tu ser es alimento a mi bien" (because you drive me crazy, you give me goosebumps, every part of your being is food for my well-being)

"your head'll collapse if there's nothing in it, and then you'll ask yourself, where is my mind?"

Just a few.

Tell my love to wreck it all

Cut out all the ropes and let me fall

~

Who will love you? Who will fight?

And who will fall far behind?

(Bon Iver, Skinny Love)

Cello Song - Nick Drake

Strange face

With your eyes

So pale and sincere

Underneath you know well

You have nothing to fear

For the dreams that came

To you when so young

Told of a life

Where spring is sprung

You would seem so frail

In the cold of the night

When the armies of emotion

Go out to fight

But while the earth

Sinks to it’s grave

You sail to the sky

On the crest of a wave

So forget this cruel world

Where I belong

I’ll just sit and wait

And sing my song

And if one day you should see me in the crowd

Lend a hand and lift me

To your place in the clouds

what fuels me

"remember the moment you know exactly where you're going,

'cause the next moment, before you know it,

time is slowing and it's frozen still,

and the window sill looks really nice, right?

you think twice about your life, it probably happens at night,

right? fight it, take the pain, ignite it,

tie a noose around your mind loose enough to breathe fine and tie it,

to a tree, tell it, 'you belong to me,

this ain't a noose, this is a leash,

and i have news for you, you must obey me.'"

Big Shots

This stuff has been buzzing about my brain for years ever since I first heard it playing.

Today it will not leave me alone, so here you go guys, Eyedeaz n Abilities Big Shots:

You know the type of girl that walks in front of you and makes your jaw drop?

She talks in riddles, and sort of tickles your soft spot

You see her in the club. She treats you like a scrub

She ain't trippin' off you, she got your whole crew in love

You're day dreamin' of getting her in the bedroom alone

Straight fiendin', You's beg like a dog for the bone

And she's peepin', and the reason is she knows

Theres a demon in between your legs with a mind of its own

Now, you're a weakling, overwhelmed with hormones

Y'all start speakin', she grabs the number to your phone

And next weekend you invite her to your home

You weren't even thinking. You got played by a pro

She's a big shot. Thick lips, nice legs, green eyes

Took advantage of a thousand. Only slept with three guys

Ain't a ho or a groupie. Jane Doe or a Lucy

Her innocent looks are deceiving, so I'm telling you to be wise

I know she's a cutie, but she goes for the loot G

I know she sounded sincere, she even made me cry

Ayo don't think im goofy, but there's power in that coochie

Underneath those booty tight, cutoff, daisy-dooksy Levi's

She's a big shot. You know your dream girl

She knows how to use her looks to take advantage of the world

She's a big shot. You thought you could school her

She dissed you like you were neutered, and told you to go get a sexual tutor

She's a big shot. She wouldn't touch your ruler

She's so beutiful. A cute but cruel looter, user and abuser

She's a big shot. Your eyes are glued to her behind

You know her steez, but you fall for it every time

Now, what about that popular school kid?

The always have been, always will be cool kid?

The class president valedictorian. "A plus", star quaterback

Cadillac convertible drivin', signin' cheerleaders autorgraphs

The letter on the jacket. Medal around the neck

Pin on his chest, and mind on his rep

He only dates models. Drinks his Summit from the bottle

When he walks he waddles, and he ain't never lost a squabble

He put you in the locker, and took your girlfriend to prom

He's in your life every day, and you can't wait 'til he's gone

But daddy owns a business, so it won't be long

Before he inherits it, makes carats, and sings a rich man's song

He's got the most expensive clothes and jewelry to wear

While you're looking for a job, he's looking in the mirror

He walks the halls surrounded by his fan club

Starts fads, ends trends, and hits the ceiling when he stands up

He's a preppy, fame-hoggin', pig-headed fool

When he has a party, everyone's invited except you

And your crew. And there really ain't nothin' y'all can do

He's in every state, city, and town, as long as they got a school

He's a big shot. Thick knot in his wallet

Parents got enough money to send your whole family to college

He's a big shot. Testosterone thirsty

Hallway father figure with his masculinity stained on his jersey

He's a big shot. IB class whiz-kid

Braggin' about a big dick, that chick and this chick

He's a big shot...

My favorites are rappers, the egoistical bastards

The people that never clap for your set, they think you're whacker

Than them cause they're the masters

I bet disaster is caused in their mind when you rhyme

And plaster their jaws shut with a fat verse

To him you're a hazard. Weak matter. A reason for laughter

He's preachin' he's live. But he's only that word backwards

After he dies, you can climb the ladder, start a chapter

Art you'll capture finally

But while he breathes, m.c.'s don't even flatter him

Add a tad if his acrobatically arrogance

To his genetically engineered emotional pattern of tearin' kids in battles

That'll explain why he mean mugs. He told ya' your team sucks

Said you was a cream puff and fled

Now you dream of choking him with that mic cord

Instead, he blows your mind straight out your head

With that hardcore, tear emcees and send them to therapy

He says, "Fuck You!" with clarity. You cry hysterically

As he makes a parody of your passion

You tell friends you think he's tight

But secretly, you hope his career won't be lasting

Cause he's an asshole. But you know he's got nice sound

You know what else? You're looking at him right now

I'm a big shot. Don't front, you know you love me

Girls never wash their hands after they get a chance to touch me

I'm a big shot. Hey, you can say I'm a creep

But put me in a room with your idols and I'll make 'em look weak

I'm a big shot. Shit, can nobody fade me

The only way we can do a song is if somebody pays me

I'm a big shot. Big Shot. Big Props

The best thing to ever happen in the history of hip hop.

Oh yes. Big Shots.

Not where the black coach of sorrow has taken you"

Was it something that I said?

Did I curse the sky so many times

That it just cried again?"

It's alright 'cause I'm with friends"

Among many others...

As a child, you would wait

And watch from far away

But you always knew that you'd be the one to work while they all played

And you, you'd lay

Awake at night and scheme

Of all the things that you would change

But it was just a dream...

Caterpillar Girl

What is love?

Around the world the trip begins with a kiss

If you don't got it today, you don't wear it tomorrow

Forever young, I want to be forever young

How many pieces do you wish?

Our turn to decide who lives and who dies, time to get up

The birds and the bees got wise to the lies

So, Darlin, Stand by me, oh stand now, stand by me

Slip inside the eye of your mind, don't you know you might find a better place to play?

Sitting in an English garden waiting for the sun

I dream of love as time runs through my hands

The angel opens her eyes, the confusion sets in

This moment she's been waiting for

Another flashing chance at bliss

We've been rambling all the night, and sometime of this day.

Running around to catch up with the sun already sinking.

Being good isn't always easy no matter how hard I try

Pornographic priestess, boy, you've been a naughty girl you let your knickers down

Girls just wanna have fun

Makin my own road outta gravel and some wine, if I have to fall then it won't be in your line

This ain't no place for a hero

All along the watchtower

There are any here among us, who feel that life is bu

Cast your eyes on the ocean, cast your soul to the sea, when the dark night seems endless, please remember me

"Sometimes I wonder why I spend

The lonely night dreaming of a song,The melody haunts my reverie

And I am once again with you"~Nat King Cole

It doesn't necessarily speak to me on a deep level, but it's so beautifully written, a quality a lot of modern music doesn't have

Lyrics that speak to me

Emilie Autumn:

Gloomy is Sunday,

With shadows I spend it all

My heart and I

Have decided to end it all

Soon there'll be flowers

And prayers that are sad I know

let them not weep

Let them know that I'm glad to go

Death is no dream

For in death I'm caressing you

With the last breath of my soul

I'll be blessing you

Gloomy Sunday

Shakira:

Y un día después de la tormenta

Cuando menos piensas sale el sol

De tanto sumar

Pierdes la cuenta

Porque uno y uno

No siempre son dos

Cuando menos piensas sale el sol

(And a day after the storm

When you least expect it, the sun rises

From adding so much

You lose count of things

Because one plus one

Not always equals two

When you least expect it

The sun rises)

Bush:

It's all in your face

I see you break

It's like the sound of winter

The bleeding love, the silent escape

You've got to hang on to yourself

It's like the sound of winter

The Birthday Massacre:

There's a fire in the city of pictures

Leaving nothing but ashes below

It's only forever for a day

Tomorrow is burning away

Burn away

<3 that's all I can think of right now
