i'm so sick - flyleaf

"i'm so sick" is a single by flyleaf and also the first track on the album flyleaf of all releases except for the dvd. [rock, alternative metal]

not sure why i couldn't come up with a proper explanation to the lyrics last time i tried. it's not that hard. they're/she's tired of the way things are. corrupted, wrong...the "you" seems to be sin in some form. this isn't a shallow song, per se - there's just not much to go into in depth. that was probably why i didn't use it.

flyleaf doesn't like to be labelled as a christian rock band...so they're just a band. it just so happens that they're all christians. lead singer is lacey mosley, who has an okay voice that is redeemed by the fact that she can scream when she has to.

it's a pretty good song. i looked it up a while after taylor and vasya first mentioned it, and now there are several flyleaf songs i'm pretty fond of. this is one of them.

I will break into your thoughts
With what's written on my heart
I will break, break

I'm so sick,
Infected with where I live
Let me live without this
Empty bliss,
Selfishness
I'm so sick
I'm so sick

If you want more of this
We can push out, sell out, die out
So you'll shut up
And stay sleeping
With my screaming in your itching ears

I'm so sick,
Infected with where I live
Let me live without this
Empty bliss,
Selfishness
I'm so sick
I'm so sick

Hear it, I'm screaming it
You're heeding to it now

Hear it! I'm screaming it!
You tremble at this sound

You sink into my clothes
And this invasion
Makes me feel
Worthless, hopeless, sick

I'm so sick,
Infected with where I live
Let me live without this
Empty bliss,
Selfishness
I'm so sick
I'm so sick

I'm so sick
Infected with where I live
Let me live without this
Empty bliss, selfishness
I'm so
I'm so sick
I'm so
I'm so sick

ai shi ni yan li de yi shou qing ge - guo mei mei

"爱是你眼里的一首情 (ai shi ni yan li de yi shou qing ge)" is the first track on guo mei mei's album 不怕不怕. [mandarin pop/mandopop]

this song i heard about from dave. i'm pretty much hooked. i like both the original and the central seven radio remix, the latter more maybe because it's more upbeat and more techno-ish.

this song isn't too hard to sing. enunciation and everything is pretty clear.

Zong shi bu jing yi de xiang qi
Ni xi huan heng de na shou ge qu
Yi yang wen rou di yin
Yi jiu qian dong wo de xin
Wo ceng xun xun mi mi
Xiang zai wen zi li xun zhao ai qing
Cai fa xian zui me de shi ju
Yua lai dou zai ni mou li

Ai shi ni yan li de yi shou qing ge
Qing yang zhe piao yi xuan li
Rang wo bu zhi bu jue di tao zui zai
Ni chan rao de shen qing

Ai shi ni yan li de yi shou qing ge
Qing bo nong wo de xin xuan
Rang wo bu you zi zhu ge
Shen ai zhe ni

Zong shi bu jing yi de xiang qi
Ni xi huan heng de na shou ge qu
Yi yang wen rou di yin
Yi jiu qian dong wo de xin
Wo ceng xun xun mi mi
Xiang zai wen zi li xun zhao ai qing
Cai fa xian zui me de shi ju
Yua lai dou zai ni mou li

Ai shi ni yan li de yi shou qing ge
Qing yang zhe piao yi xuan li
Rang wo bu zhi bu jue di tao zui zai
Ni chan rao de shen qing

Ai shi ni yan li de yi shou qing ge
Qing bo nong wo de xin xuan
Rang wo bu you zi zhu ge
Shen ai zhe ni

Ai shi ni yan li de yi shou qing ge
Qing yang zhe piao yi xuan li
Rang wo bu zhi bu jue di tao zui zai
Ni chan rao de shen qing

Ai shi ni yan li de yi shou qing ge
Qing bo nong wo de xin xuan
Rang wo bu you zi zhu ge
Shen ai zhe ni

总是不经意地想起
你喜欢哼的那首歌曲
一样温柔的音
依旧牵动我的心
我曾寻寻觅觅
想在文字里寻找爱情
才发现最美的诗句
原来都在你眸里
爱是你眼里的一首情歌
轻洋着飘逸旋律
让我不知不觉地陶醉在
你缠绕的深情
爱是你眼里的一首情歌
轻拨动我的心弦
让我不由自主地深爱着你

轻洋着飘逸旋律
让我不知不觉地陶醉在
你缠绕的深情
爱是你眼里的一首情歌

lose yourself - eminem

"lose yourself" is the first song on the 8 mile soundtrack, also a single, by eminem. [rapcore]

now i get one part of a robot chicken episode where bugs bunny has to rap and chokes. from the movie "8 mile".

this is, despite the few swear words which i don't begrudge him, is very good, even the meaning. it also has a very negative sound. the beginning lines sound angry in an almost sarcastic way.

if a lot of eminem's songs are like this, i commend him. the rhyming and rhythm is amazing, how even reading the lyrics aloud does not bring out the full potential in this where eminem stresses different words and chops apart words to bring out the pattern and rhythm and beat.

it's quite catchy, and i like this one a good deal, despite the fact that it's rap. i don't hate all rap.

and just for the record, i really do believe it says "rhapsody" instead of "rap shit". that just don't sound right.

Look, if you had one shot, or one opportunity
To seize everything you ever wanted-One moment
Would you capture it or just let it slip?

His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy
There's vomit on his sweater already, mom's spaghetti
He's nervous, but on the surface he looks calm and ready
To drop bombs, but he keeps on forgettin
What he wrote down, the whole crowd goes so loud
He opens his mouth, but the words won't come out
He's choking, how everybody's joking now
The clock's run out, time's up over, bloah!
Snap back to reality, Oh there goes gravity
Oh, there goes Rabbit, he choked
He's so mad, but he won't give up that
Easy, no
He won't have it , he knows his whole back's to these ropes
It don't matter, he's dope
He knows that, but he's broke
He's so stagnant that he knows
When he goes back to his mobile home, that's when it's
Back to the lab again yo
This this whole rhapsody
He better go capture this moment and hope it don't pass him

[Hook:]
You better lose yourself in the music, the moment
You own it, you better never let it go
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime yo

The soul's escaping, through this hole that it's gaping
This world is mine for the taking
Make me king, as we move toward a, new world order
A normal life is boring, but superstardom's close to post mortem
It only grows harder, only grows hotter
He blows us all over these hoes is all on him
Coast to coast shows, he's know as the globetrotter
Lonely roads, God only knows
He's grown farther from home, he's no father
He goes home and barely knows his own daughter
But hold your nose cause here goes the cold water
His hoes don't want him no mo, he's cold product
They moved on to the next schmoe who flows
He nose dove and sold nada
So the soap opera is told and unfolds
I suppose it's old partner', but the beat goes on
Da da dum da dum da da

[Hook]

No more games, I'ma change what you call rage
Tear this motherfucking roof off like 2 dogs caged
I was playing in the beginning, the mood all changed
I been chewed up and spit out and booed off stage
But I kept rhyming and stepwritin the next cypher
Best believe somebody's paying the pied piper
All the pain inside amplified by the fact
That I can't get by with my 9 to 5
And I can't provide the right type of life for my family
Cause man, these goddam food stamps don't buy diapers
And it's no movie, there's no Mekhi Phifer, this is my life
And these times are so hard and it's getting even harder
Trying to feed and water my seed, plus
Teeter totter caught up between being a father and a prima donna
Baby mama drama's screaming on and
Too much for me to wanna
Stay in one spot, another day of monotony
Has gotten me to the point, I'm like a snail
I've got to formulate a plot fore I end up in jail or shot
Success is my only motherfucking option, failure's not
Mom, I love you, but this trailer's got to go
I cannot grow old in Salem's lot
So here I go is my shot.
Feet fail me not cause maybe the only opportunity that I got

[Hook]

You can do anything you set your mind to, man
