“I’ve never told a lie, and that makes me a liar.
I’ve never made a bet, but we gamble with desire
I’ve never lit a match with intent to start a fire, but recently the flames are getting out of control.”
-All Time Low, Jasey Rae
“Stars are for those who look up at the sky.”
-Pauline Delmonte, Stars are for Those Who Lift Up Their Eyes
Well I know it wasn’t you who held me down
Heaven knows it wasn’t you who set me free
So often times it happens that we live our lives in chains
And we never even know we have the key
-The Eagles, Already Gone
If you’re not getting answers,
ask better questions
-Cartel, Q
I chronicled,
The day you made me want to live
Memorize the way it felt
And then turned it into this kiss
-JamisonParker, Best Mistake
Maybe I’m the shot in the dark, and you’re the morning light
-A Rocket to the Moon, Mr. Right
Take me out tonight
Where there’s music
And there’s poeple
And they’re young and alive
-The Smiths, There is a Light that Never Goes Out
Live, I wanna live inspired
Die; I wanna die for something
-Anberlin, Burn Out Brighter (Northern Lights)
There’s a place I go when I’m alone
Do anything I want, be anyone I wanna be
-Newton Faulkner, Dream Catch Me
So open up your friendly fire
And let me be the kill your missing
-We The Kings, The Quiet
Revolution’s not easy with a Civil War on the inside.
-Anberlin, Breathe
Give me a reason (I don’t believe a word)
To end this discussion (of anything I’ve heard)
To break with tradition (they tell me that it’s not so hard)
To fold and divide (it’s not so hard)
So let’s not get carried (away with everything)
Away with the process (from here to in-between)
of elimination (the long goodbye)
I don’t want to waste your time.
-Motion City Soundtrack, Everything Is Alright
I am selfless.
I am selfish.
I am anything I want to be.
-The Maine, Don’t Give Up on (Us)
I’ve got a sneaking suspicion that
hindsight only favors good vision
But I’m not one to complain when it’s all I dream of
We were more than just useless stupid kids
The music it moved us, we shook our fists
as we sang along at the top of our lungs
-The Classic Crime, 5805
This is how it works
you’re young until you’re not
you love until you don’t
you try until you can’t
you laugh until you cry
you cry until you laugh
and everyone must breathe
until their dying breath
-Regina Spektor, On the Radio
You’re so lovely
Built with a beautiful mind
Wait for your time, it will come
And you will realize just how special you are
There’s not enough hate in the world
To bring you down
-The Scene Aesthetic, Humans
