Aaaaaaa anon you must forgive me for being so late about it, I had one hell of a ride choosing song lyrics *pants as if I'd been running*
But eeee it will be a long post-

"Listen close and don't be stoned
I'll be here in the morning
'Cause I'm just floating
Your cigarette still burns
Your messed up world will thrill me
...
Alison, I'll drink your wine
And wear your clothes when we're both high
Alison, I said we're sinking
But she laughs and tells me it's just fine
I guess she's out there somewhere"
- Alison (Slowdive)

"Take everything you have in front of you
Make every movement, do it to the groove
You will not be happy for long if you're working
And what would be the point if it did ever surface?
...
Wake up to the rhythm of the city and I try to remember
Even my brothers have some trouble with
Each other since since those things fell apart
It's the way that things are
It's the way that it is
...
Even when you split me up, groovin' to the sound of the laughter
And if I listen to it closely I can
Still hear all the love in his heart
Every time I take a look at the skyline it makes me feel better
'Cause I just miss you down here where the other people try to move on"
- Blue Coupe (Twin Peaks)

"Oh, you can't hear me 'cause I sing to a different age
And you should fear me 'cause I believe in a different age
But I live in the city that lives in a different age
Oh, I live in a city that lives in a different age
Where all the poets are writing memoirs
And I'm still singing songs
Oh, all the poets are writing memoirs
And I'm still singing songs"
- A Different Age (Current Joys)

"I used to think of ferris wheel light sounds
The Friday hum of neons and blue
But now they're like circular cages
Of grated tin and rusted wind
Hey, now, who really cares?
Hey, won't somebody listen
Let me say what's been on my mind
Can I bring it out to you
I need someone to talk to
And no one else will spare me the time"
- Hey, Who Really Cares? (Linda Perhacs)
• @francesco-bernoulli-gang
"Angels smoking cigarettes on rooftops in fishnets in the morning with the
Moon still glowing
And here comes Jesus in an Astrovan rolling down the strip again
He's stoned while Jerry plays
Life ain't ever what it seems
These dreams are more than paper things
And it's alright mama you're afraid
I'll be poor along the way
I don't wanna see those tears again
You know, Jesus drives an Astrovan
Yes, he does (I say woo)"
- Astrovan (Mt. Joy)

"Pulling up, getting down
This whole place is crazy town
Music bumping and the lights gone down
Never felt at home in any place I found
Oh, I live in a cold, white wind
And I feel the chill coming over me again"
- Butterfly (Adrianne Lenker)
• @anjo-umbra
"Put your hands on the wheel
Let the golden age begin
Let the window down
Feel the moonlight on your skin
Let the desert wind
Cool your aching head
Let the weight of the world
Drift away instead
These day I barely get by
I don't even try
It's a treacherous road
With a desolated view
There's distant lights
But here they're far and few
And the sun don't shine
Even when its day
You gotta drive all night
Just to feel like you're ok"
- The Golden Age (Beck)

"Satellite, headlines read
Someone's secrets you've seen
Eyes and ears have been
Satellite dish in my yard
Tell me more, tell me more
Who's the king of your satellite castle?
Winter's cold spring erases
And the calm away by the storm is chasing
Everything good needs replacing
Look up, look down all around, hey satellite
Rest high above the clouds no restrictions
Television we bounce 'round the world
And while I spend these hours
Five senses reeling
I laugh about this weatherman's satellite eyes"
- Satellite (Dave Matthews Band)
• @sidereusimber
"And though I may be getting older
Know that I'm going with you
Know that I'm hanging on
to the things that you said
The things that you said
...
I've felt my soul
Rise up from my body when
I look into your blue eyes
...
If cosmic force
Is real at all
It's come between you and I"
- Some Things Cosmic (Angel Olsen)
