#album lyrics asks

[marshmallowtraver]

Nothing Personal for the album lyrics ask please ✌️🎵

weightless ↳ And I'm over getting older

break your little heart ↳ This was never meant to be more than a memory for you

damned if i do ya (damned if i don't) ↳ Make a fool of myself when you hang around; When you're gone, I'm a match that's burning out

lost in stereo ↳ And I'm just like cellophane 'cause she sees right through me

stella ↳ Feels like I'm falling in love alone ("One more reason I should never have met you, just another reason I could never forget you" is a close second tho!!!!)

sick little games ↳ Dressed up as myself to live in the shadow of who I'm supposed to be

hello brooklyn ↳ Let the good times roll, we can let go

walls ↳ I wanna fall so in love with you and no one else

too much ↳ Take it slow 'cause I can't be on my own

keep the change, you filthy animal ↳ Are you having trouble finding sleep at night, or does your lack of conscience tell you everything's alright?

a party song (the walk of shame) ↳ Don't sweat it, forget it, everything is a-ok

therapy ↳ Love yourself so no one has to

poison ↳ And you can try on my clothes, but you can't fill these shoes

I wanted to add on to this ask done by an anon on ST confessions, because they are so right and they made something click in my brain. Do go read it before you read this.

First, off, heavy agree that Fall for Me is designed to be a lonely song, both lyrically, and quite smartly, musically. In every single other song Sleep Token has ever done there is music. There is noise, always. Even in times where there should be silence, there never is any. Instead, it's filled by sounds of birds, a taught guitar chord or chewing and biting.

Fall for Me, however, is utter silence. There's no musical reply. No SFX, no subtle drums or bass; no nothing. It's the one of the few songs (along with Missing Limbs, Take Aim and Drag me Under) in which Vessel directly addresses the love he holds for this person. It's not layered in metaphors, prose and an eloquent vernacular, it's straightforward. While his poetry in other songs is used to draw Them in, decorate his love and entice Them, he's done with getting nothing. He wants to be an equal, a lover, but he gets naught.

The reason why, other than the obvious choice of acapella instead of instruments, the song feels so lonely is because it's the only song- overall- that he doesn't get a response to. Sugar is the response to The Offering, Say That You Will is the response to Take Aim etc., but here? Cold, dead silence. No gesture in tongues, no crushing 'affection'; no nothing.

So, to the rhythm of eternity, he will be on that beach, stumbling, crawling and shouting out the same question that he will never get an answer to; won't you fall for me?

However, even though, unlike most songs that get an answer within their album, Vessel gets one in the next. Take Me Back To Eden, therefore, becomes the answer to that question. As well as Vessel's action against it.

@lifemod17 saw you reblog the ask as well, thought you might like this :]

new song! this time it's about how it feels when someone is wrong on the internet [lyrics under the cut]

i am going to kill you

I am going to kill you I am going to kill you There is only one thing That I swear to be true And that is that I am going to Fucking kill you

Let me start off this song By sayin' I was right all along So when I tear you to shreds I wont try and make amends Cause that would mean pretending I was wrong

I want you gone from this land I want you dead where you stand I want your blood in my teeth And your guts in my carpet When I tear you apart with my bare fucking hands

I am going to kill you I am going to kill you I swear to God, And to the Devil, too, I am going to Fucking kill you

This is hardly a song I'm just screaming the words And breaking the bones of the piano Till all my fingers hurt

I want to see your gore Spill out across the floor Cause you were wrong and I was right So kiss your fuckin' god goodnight Cause he won't be seeing you anymore

I am going to kill you I am going to kill you There is only one thing That I swear to be true And that is that I am going to Fucking kill you

I will tear you apart I will rip out your heart And maybe then you will see Through my red victory That fuck it, I was right from the start

I'll bring your life to an end And maybe I'll tell my friends And goddamn, when I'm done, I will find you and kill you again

I will rend you apart with my bare fingernails I will hang you by a rope of your own arguments I will hold a gun to your head, motherfucker I will laugh and I'll pull the trigger, and then you'll be dead

I am going to kill you I am going to kill you There is only one thing That I know to be true And that is that I swear on all that is true That by God and the Devil I'll destroy, I will fucking kill you

[that-was-a-bit-stupid-of-you]

I don't understand, what's going on with Taylor and Matt trash being a couple? Could you explain to me?

nothing is really going on at the moment tbh, cuz they broke up a pretty long while ago, but the issue is the album (if that's what you're referring to) and taylor swift herself.

[will add sources and more stuff when I find the links and if I realise I missed something out, cuz this is a general thing based off of memory]

Context: dating history

Basically she and matty had been friends for a few years (there are rumors of them hooking up ig in 1989 era maybe, but I don't really care enough to believe shit like that). Apparently he had also been pining for her (according to stuff he said in interviews and tweets) for years, but again, you can still chalk it up to rumors if you wanna.

The thing is that post her breakup with joe alwyn, she started dating him (in like april I think) [there had been dating rumors of them since 2014 tho, and again in March 2023] and the fandom kinda got divided.

Here is the link to their entire timeline

Context: what matty healy did

Matty healy (you prolly know this) is basically racist, sexist, antisemitic, homophobic and God knows what else I have missed out or not been aware of. He did shit like doing the nazi gesture on stage, mocking asian accents, tastelessly making fun of ice spice on her race and bodyshaming her, laughing and basically confirming that he watches violent rape porn of black women on a site that is known to be highly problematic and force their actors (gender neutral) to do things they dont consent to (there was also an actress who was assaulted or something but im not informed on it). Even when he was called out on stuff like this, he accused people (who were poc, btw) of overreacting.

Context: taylor and activism

Taylor had also, in the past (lover era, and miss Americana the doc) had talked about how she had been too quiet about political issues and politics itself for too long, that she understands her influence and power in society, and that she "needs to be on the right side of history" and even specifics such as that she thinks it's spineless to go on stage and say "happy pride month" and not acknowledge the political oppression that queers in USA were facing (something about a bill or the republican party idk man I'm not american, i dont remember but i did research when i watched the doc tho). She has claimed she was gonna be clear about where she stands (many republicans had considered her to be one, and many thought she's conservative or something, but she was always quiet about it, until the lover era). However, she just stopped that activism after the lover era, and went back to being quiet on where she stands (I've seen many swifties refer to the lover era as the activism era) and hasn't spoken about anything substantial really. She did some things like post a black square with 13 hearts during blm, and stuff that every celeb who wasn't openly a pos did, but that's kinda it. Even as a self proclaimed feminist, she didn't speak up on issues such as roe v wade, or about an issue regarding drag queens despite having them in yntcd, or talking about trans/queer rights until she was in a blue state (im not an American, I just like to keep up a little with stuff in usa cuz it's always up in my face sadly, and thus i cant be specific, but anyways, correct me if I'm wrong, or if I missed something).

So even after saying she'll be vocal, she was just... not. And that's basically her on politics or giving a shit about minority communities.

Context: Fandom's reaction

Swifties were extremely disappointed that taylor CHOSE to associate with a man like this, and there were fans calling her out, and she received backlash, too.

Most of these swifties were poc (myself included) and they felt hurt that an artist that they not just supported and developed such a deep connection with, but also financially supported for years, would have such disregard for them. Not just was she dating him, but she kept saying things such as "I have never been happier in all aspects of my life" or saying "I love you" or "uk who you are" in romantic songs on the tour, which was just adding insult to injury. She also did a collab with ice spice (which was completely out of nowhere, and the collab itself seemed badly made and rushed), which fans and others speculated to be a pr cover up for the fact that matty healy had mocked her (many ppl also believed that it was too quick for it to be a pr cover tho).

Now, in the fandom, when poc swifties were calling her out on dating mh, (mostly) white swifties started harassing poc swifties for doing so, or saying that they are hindering with her happiness or some bs about it being "just a fling" (again, myself included). They said it's the same as seeing a friend get out of a long-term relationship and make bad dating choices, and poc swifties should let it go (as if taylor is our close personal friend). In a mostly white fandom, poc swifties felt alienated and sidelined.

Ofc, taylor never addressed any of this backlash, and after she broke up with him, there were articles saying that sources say (which mostly means her pr team atp) that her breakup had nothing to do with his controversies or behavior.

The album release (lyrics, references and reaction)

Now, with the release of ttpd, contrary to what most of the fandom believed, most of the songs on both the albums are believed to be (and heavily hinted on) about matty healy. These include 4 songs- "ttpd", "but daddy I love him", "I can fix him (no really I can)", and "guilty as sin?"

Ttpd, the title track, talks about mh being "a tattooed golden retriever" (wtf) and about him love-bombing her, and her pining after him, thinking about marriage and shit. But daddy I love him and I can fix him, are basically that no one supported her dating decision and she's claiming that she loves him oh so goddamn much, but more importantly, her talking about her fans' reactions. Specifically, describing her poc fans to be "vipers" and "judgemental creeps" who hate her and them being hurt as "bitching and moaning", and basically took the side of the (white) fans who defended her, indirectly. She described his racist bs as "crazy" and said shit like she could "handle a dangerous man." She also has another song, "Guilty as sin?" and while I genuinely don't give a fuck about what she chooses to do in her private life, unless it is problematic, it is about her fantasizing about being with that racist man while being in a long term relationship with joe alwyn. She sings about how she wants him and wants to be with him... in multiple ways, iykyk. Again, out of context, I love this song so much, but that doesn't erase the context, right?

She also has a song "I hate it here" where she says the following lines:

"My friends used to play a game where

We would pick a decade

We wished we could live in instead of this

I'd say the 1830s but without all the racists and getting married off for the highest bid"

And while there are many reasons why this line by itself is racist (romantisization of a time that was extremely shitty to many communities, most of which she is not a part of, showing herself to be "oh look I'm so woke I still remember the bad things even when I romanticize bad eras in history" which is something you expect from an ignorant white high schooler maybe, not a 34 y/o billionaire who claims to be well-read, etc.) but taylor swift herself saying these is adding insult to injury cuz she has shown time and time again she has no problem with racism (she kept quiet when antonia gentry, a black actress, received hate and racist threats by swifties because of a line BY NETFLIX that taylor didn't like, and she shouldn't ofc, but it wasn't the actress' fault), or associating herself with them (matty healy, for example). It is hypocritical to write something like that after writing an album about pining after a man and his "dangerousness," which is just bigotry. Way to romanticise racism, sexism, and antisemitism, taylor.

Even now, after listening to the album, she clearly doesn't like mh anymore, NOT because of his actions, but because he broke her heart, showing that she still enables and is okay with everything he did.

And that's kind of it (ig) about her and matty healy. I'm not really sure exactly which part you wanted to know, so this is just a gist of it all. Hope it helps :)

A (very random) observation

[lyrical-swiftie]

“𝗧͏𝗮͏𝘆͏𝗹͏𝗼͏𝗿͏ 𝗦͏𝘄͏𝗶͏𝗳͏𝘁͏ - …𝗥͏𝗲͏𝗮͏𝗱͏𝘆͏ 𝗙͏𝗼͏𝗿͏ 𝗜͏𝘁͏?”

[cassiaslair]

from i prevail's album, trauma ( 2019 ). slightly modified to fit dialogue prompts. if it's in parentheses, feel free to omit it.

bow down.

get on your knees & bow down.

i come alive, i'll survive, take on anything.

so paint a target on my back, let 'em come to me.

i'm on another level that you'll never reach.

if you seek forgiveness, you'll get nothing from me.

you will never know, it's the price i pay.

look into my eyes, we are not the same.

i'm in control, & you'll know my name.

i gave my life, gave it everything.

the best of your best ain't good enough.

keep running your mouth, & i'ma call your bluff.

so... i had this dream, it meant everything, & i watched it come alive.

i let you in, underneath my skin, & i learned to love the lies.

now i lay awake & i contemplate... have i become what i hate?

would you go to war? would you die for it?

paranoid.

something isn't right, i feel it in my bones.

every time i look around, it follows me home.

i get so stressed out when my head gets loud.

all this emptiness inside, i can't fill the void in my mind.

sometimes i just wanna die (wish that i could tell you why).

is it all inside my head?

i just can't escape the noise.

i think i'm paranoid.

every time you leave.

all i ever wanted was to find someone.

holding it together is the hardest part.

every time you leave, i lose a little piece of me.

every time we speak, words don't do it justice.

it's just us from here.

finishing the puzzle is the hardest part.

everyday wishin' you could stay, 'cause our minds may change, but our hearts remain.

i can't believe you gotta go away again.

if you ever start to hesitate & you feel the weight, it starts to break.

we're not the same; know that this means everything to me.

no one said life gets in the way.

rise above it.

i've been patiently waiting, tying my stomach in knots.

i've been lost in the moment, going to war with my thoughts.

if you're feeling the pressure, the pressure's all that i got.

so if you think you're ready, i'm here to tell you you're not.

you're in over your head.

i'll be damned if i ever let you get me again.

i will stop at nothing 'cause i was made to rise above it.

one of these days, everyone will know (but for now i stand alone).

i count my enemies like trophies.

i've got nothing left to prove.

when i look at you, all i see are trophies.

i'm not afraid to put it all on the line (like it runs in my veins).

you cannot stop me, so don't even try.

breaking down.

i think... i think too much.

i'm a little bit paranoid.

i think i'm breaking (down).

maybe it's in my blood.

hate every single second, minute, hour, every day.

everybody's out to get you.

every time they ask me, i just tell 'em that i'm fine.

i try to hide my demons, but they only multiply.

everybody fucking hates you.

i say i'm feeling hopeless, but no one's listening.

i don't really like myself.

DOA.

on our knees, we pray as we waste away.

we dig our grave, dead on arrival.

i close my eyes & contemplate on why i chose to be great.

i find myself trying to escape from where i'm supposed to be safe.

maybe i should pray like i'm supposed to be saved.

sometimes i feel like getting even, but i choose to behave.

i'm mentally locked in a prison (& i need bail).

i wish i was more flourished. i wish i had more courage.

i wonder if it's all worth it (i wonder...).

dead is the land of the free.

am i not worth saving?

gasoline.

let's burn it fucking down.

back from the dead to tell you that i'm alive.

killed the old way (but i survived).

fuck the blueprint.

death or exile, you decide.

tell 'em all that i made my name.

now it's mine to send up in flames.

this right here is as far as you go.

this right here is where i lose control.

burn it all down, i don't give a fuck.

fuck what they say, fuck everything.

kill it all (kill everything).

nothing but red inside when i close my eyes.

break or bow down, you decide.

tell 'em all that you can't be saved.

tell 'em all that you dug this grave.

learn to live in this mess you made.

hurricane.

tell me i was never good enough.

remind me of the demons that i've been running from.

tell me who the hell you thought i was.

just blame it on the person, the person i've become.

lately, i don't give a fuck.

i can't be myself when i'm with anyone.

(&) maybe, i'm already gone.

i'll never be the same.

it hit me like a hurricane.

i don't know why i drown my mind (in everything they say).

it got the best of me.

tell me that i'm lost inside my mind.

i reach out, but it's pulling me under.

remind me i've been searching for something i won't find.

tell me i was never worth the time.

just blame it on the person you think i left behind.

look into my eyes.

believe me that the storm is coming.

let me be sad.

i'm holding back right now.

('cause) i'm numb to what's around.

i miss the life i used to have (with you right here).

now everything is turning grey.

i'm blacking out the shades for now.

let me be sad.

let me be sad, even for a little while. just a chance to catch my breath.

let me be sad, even for a little while, 'cause it's all that i have left.

can you see it in my eyes, i've been distant?

i can't tell if it's the end or the beginning.

i know i haven't been myself, i'll admit it.

i put up walls so if i burned any bridges, just know i'm doing everything i can to try & fix it (but knowing me i'll probably miss it).

these voices get so vicious.

feels like i'm ripping stitches.

i wish some days i could go back (before life changed, it was so fast).

that time is gone, & i know that (so please, let me be sad).

when all i see are memories, i don't wanna lose a thing.

low.

i'm so damn low.

i can't lie, i'm falling (the floor gave out again).

the walls are caving in.

i've got these voices in my head.

i don't know why i'm broken.

my world is sinking in.

they tell me that i'm not enough.

is it my time?

even when i'm high, i still feel low.

voices in my head won't leave me alone.

i keep falling.

i'm in over my head again.

i'm on my own, i know it.

i think i'm too far gone to save.

i can't let go. i'm holding, i feel it slip away.

the more they say, the more they cut.

i'm hanging by a thread (don't know if i let go).

i'm doing everything i can to fix the problem.

this is how it feels when you hit rock bottom.

deadweight.

i'm cutting out the deadweight.

let me take a second to get this through to you.

it's time you get put in the rearview.

cut ties, there's nothing left to your lies, i'm seeing right through.

let me lay it out so it's clear for you to see.

i'm done with the ones that don't believe.

i'm cutting out the ones who drag me down.

all this negativity weighing down on me.

admit it's so pathetic to think i'd carry you.

i'd rather watch all the lows you sink to.

now i can see what you're really all about.

turn your back & run your mouth.

i laugh at all the time you wasted.

you're bitter, i can fucking taste it.

so if you think that you can drag me down, it's gonna come back around.

keep it up, motherfucker (i'll cut you out).

i don't belong here.

'cause i don't belong here.

those days, it was all i wanted.

nowadays, it feels all the same.

used to stare at my bedroom ceiling wishing everything would change.

now it's hard when you're always searching for the life that you left behind.

time disappears, year after year.

how the hell did i get here?

i feel so far away.

minutes turn to hours & the hours into days.

i gave up everything.

you don't know what you got until you throw it all away.

looking back on the past, all the time i wasted...

i'm running from everyone that tells me that i'm fading out.

must be mistaken 'cause i don't feel anything.

you know i got this brain, it drives me insane.

some days i feel i can't take the pain.

i can't explain it 'cause i don't need anything.

I learned that you can make it to that kind of level and remain in tact as a human being. And I learned that Sheffield’s people are very similar to Irish people. We bumped into them at the same pub a fair few times. But I believe it goes beyond that.

LOOM - Imagine Dragons lyric pack

Everybody's comin' for you, wake up

Bring 'em all together, can you stack 'em in a line?

Jealousy is gonna be your failure, not mine

Got a case of take-or-leave-it

Spit your words, and I'll watch you eat it

What are you to do?

I was wonderin' how your weekend's been

Your girlfriend's gonna be leavin' soon or not?

What could ever go wrong?

Anyway, it's nice to meet ya

She was jealous of our relationship

Prayin' that we make it through the weekend

I hope we meet again

I could do this with my eyes closed

Been takin' every whip and word, I've never been spared

They say tomorrow's never promised

They say that angels are among us

I was born, I was raised for this

Don't worry 'bout me

I've been broken down and beat up but I still get ahead

Killed and resurrected 'cause I'll never be dead

I can no longer stand it

Gonna spend my days tellin' them to can it

No, I don't wanna hear the down low

If you want it, come and get it

And I'm tellin' you I never spare a minute

Can't nobody tell you how to live it

I'm better off alone

Just give me some space

I don't have no friends, ask anyone

How can it feel so good and be so bad?

Misunderstood, and I can't take it back now

Just like I knew you would, you turn your back

Tell me I'm right, tell me I'm wrong

But you know I've been here all along in your corner

You know I've been here all along

No turnin' back, you know I've seen too much

Now I'm here to stsy

I've won, I've lost, I've paid the cost

Gods don't pray

Save it for somebody that cares

You've done your wrongs, and now you feel so right

Fortune is unfortunately volatile

Trust me that the future's looking futile

Try to forget you, but can't find the way

Guess that's just life, I suppose

But I miss you when you're gone

And I know that life moves on

But I can't just replace you with this much regret

Please, don't forget about me

Remember when all that we had was your car?

Even when it's gone, can we just hold on?

I won't forget you

You gotta get yourself together, kid

You got to keep it together

So keep that chin up, young one, you'll bloom

You gotta take your losses as a win

All in time, you will take flight

I don't think I'm strong enough

I don't think I'm enough

And I know you think about everything that I did wrong, but I do, too

I got nothing without you

I fear I might die alone

I fear I might knock and no one's home

Stayin' up these nights, thinkin' everything that I did wrong to you

I'm never enough

And I think I've lost the will

The more we try, the more we fail

But after everything, you're here with me still

I'm so tired, can I please come home?

Also re the "lying" to make a better story: I think we ALL know that the recorded and released atw10 is not the same as the original atw10. That HAS to have been edited and refined and rewritten... right?

taylor did freely admit that she changed some of the lyrics in the fearless vault tracks, but like. like she knew atw10 was a big deal because it was supposed to be unedited like she knew that

like. i'm sure she had some of the lyrics. but. i am going to need proof that taylor wrote 'fuck the patriarchy' in 2011 like. she really flew too close to the sun there

getaway green ↳ If it happens, then it happens, happy to have you at all

melancholy kaleidoscope ↳ I wanna hear another fast song, something to tune out all these bad thoughts

trouble is ↳ Never was enough, doesn't matter what I do

wake up, sunshine ↳ Somebody loves you for yourself

monsters ↳ Tell me that you love me even if it's fake (but "Why am I a sucker for all your lies? Strung out like laundry on every line" is a very close second)

pretty venom ↳ And it's so bad feelin' this sad

favorite place ↳ You're everything I love about the things I hate in me

safe ↳ Stop wasting all your time on waiting up for better things

january gloom ↳ A victim of the season, need a better reason to be miserable

clumsy ↳ I was bound to make a mess of things mixin' fireworks and gasoline

glitter & crimson ↳ How long can we be happy if happy ain't meant for us?

summer daze ↳ Sometimes moving on means letting go, and letting go is only getting harder

basement noise ↳ Trying to see the future in what they see in us

i hate that for you ↳ Let me stress it: I'm a fool for you

Hands down, Give is one of Sleep Token's yearn-iest songs. Ever. It's not on par with TLYW, Jaws etc. (because that's a whole different layer of Sleep Token's yearning onion), but it's got a kick to it.

When I say that song is the epitome of desperate, I mean it.

Without thinking about it too much, the first time I listened to it my first thoughts were 'ah, okay, wanting to give all for your lover and be able to trust them, got it', but then I thought about it a bit more.

Like with all Sleep Token songs, it has a bit of an eerie undertone, which borders on slightly obsessive, depending on who you're talking to, with the lyrics. We have "I picture you when you are all alone", "I am the shadow, you're a passenger", "I'll be the limit of your light again" and, of course, "give me all that you can give" with "and if you want to give me anything, then give (give in again)".

Vessel is describing himself as literal darkness; he's a shadow in the gloom and whoever this is is a star glowing in the darkness. A light he aims to dampen because he wants a taste of that light. A taste of them.

However, it's this desperation for attention that gets me. "Give me all that you can give" is an easy example; he's desperately giving all he can possibly give in hopes of getting the same, or more, back. It's repeated over and over, half begging half demanding with soft dulcet tones and promises that he'll be watching for their enemies, to let them know that they contend with him etc.

Give becomes this two-faced thing of someone giving with all their might to someone who is afraid to trust, bringing up empathy from us, and someone who will not accept anything except everything. It's this sexually charged fight between who is a victim (or if there really is one here) and who is the abuser.

Further, to "give in" is to 'cease fighting or arguing; admitting defeat.' It's something primal and angry hidden under, or rather, mixed with passion, and it's incredibly well hidden.

Hilo!

I've been seeing a translation of this going around Twitter saying the word dangsin is written here but I can't find any other translations from other translators. Is this true?

💜💜

Hi, thanks for the message!

Yes, indeed the word '당신' is written in this part but in combination with 만 ('only') and 이 (grammatical particle) which is why it might appear less visible for you. Plus it is within a lyric line that goes "오직 당신만이 날 지켜주었던" with a loose translation as: "only you the one who protected me"

(As a stylistic choice for lyrical use of 당신 here fits very well as it sounds poetic and more elevated, plus '오직 당신만' is a typical phrase to express emotions poetically and emphasize that the 'you' is the one and only (오직 - only, sole with - 만 as suffix that means only, thus the double emphasis)

It's just tiny details but as always, that's where the really interesting parts lie 😊 Hope my short explanation helped a bit!
