Eyes wider than before

Song of the day;;

→ Athlete - Wires

You got wires going in
You got wires coming out of your skin
You got tears making tracks
I got tears that are scared of the facts

Running down corridors, through automatic doors
Got to get to you, got to see this through
I see hope is here, in a plastic box
I've seen Christmas lights reflect in your eyes

You got wires going in
You got wires coming out of your skin
There's dry blood on your wrist
Your dry blood on my fingertip

Running down corridors, through automatic doors
Got to get to you, got to see this through
First night of your life, curled up on your own
Looking at you now, you would never know

I  see it in your eyes, I see it in your eyes
You'll be alright
I see it in your eyes, I see it in your eyes
You'll be alright

Alright

Running down corridors, through automatic doors
Got to get to you, got to see this through
I see hope is here, in a plastic box
I've seen Christmas lights reflect in your eyes

Down corridors, through automatic doors
Got to get to you, got to see this through
First night of your life, curled up on your own
Looking at you now, you would never know

Miks kaikki biisit saa mut itkemään?

Stairway to heaven

Song of the day;;

→ Athlete - Tokyo

I am Tokyo

I am here

I am blazing lights

On your street

I'm an upstart

Bound to cross you

I'm the hypocrite

By your side

She won't forget

And I won't forget

And no one around could tell us apart

'Cause we were one mouth

And one robot heart

I am Tokyo

I am here

I am neon signs

On your street

I'm an army

Of wind turbines

Marching over your countryside

And she won't forget

And I won't forget

And no one around could tell us apart

'Cause we were one mouth

And one robot heart

There's never enough time

Only, only

A glare off rainbow bridge

Pin prick to the heart

Again and again

I felt every spark

And no one around could tell us apart

'Cause we were one mouth

And one robot heart

We're burning through town

Like there's nothing to lose

'Cause we were one mouth

And one robot heart

Late disco

Song of the day;;

→ Athlete - Chances

Take all your chances while you can

You never know when they'll pass you by

Like a sum the mathematician cannot solve

Like me trying my hardest to explain

It's all about your cries and kisses

Those first steps that I can't calculate

I need some more of you to take me over

Take me over

If I had the chance to start again

Then you would be the one I'd come and find

Like the poster of Berlin on my wall

Maybe there's a chance our walls might fall

It's all about your cries and kisses

Those first steps that I can't calculate

I need some more of you to take me over

It's all about your cries and kisses

Those first steps that I can't calculate

I need some more of you to take me over

I've no idea 'cause I can't calculate

How to start again

How to start again

How to start again

How to start again

It's all about you

Wake me

Song of the day;;

→ Athlete - Twenty Four Hours

People rushing left to right

There's pretty faces left to right

I'm just frozen staring into space

Faster than the speed of light

I'm holding on, I'm holding tight

'Cause stars are gonna crash into this place

And it's caught wide screen, so we don't miss a thing

Now I'm standing clear

'Cause all I waited for is

Closing in

We've still got twenty four hours

We're closing in

We've still got twenty four hours

This is more than daily bread

It's three degrees, it's something else

And you just take it all into your stride

Couldn't be an accident

'Cause I can't see no ambulance

I know that we will work it out this time

And it's caught wide screen, so we don't miss a thing

Now I'm standing clear

'Cause all I waited for is

Closing in

We've still got twenty four hours

We're closing in

We've still got twenty four hours

Closing in

We've still got twenty four hours

Now we're closing in

We've still got twenty four hours

It's not over, it's not over

We've still got twenty four hours

It's not over, it's not over yet

We've still got twenty four hours

The first of July! Only 9 days left until my birthday!

Love me like you do

Song of the day;;

→ Athlete - Tourist

This European air

It always warms my face

I wish I could buy some

I will bring you stories

And bleary-eyed photos

Like a regular tourist

We don't go breaking down

I feel like nothing ever will

We don't go breaking down

I feel like nothing

Suitcases down our street

Are rolling once again

I roll away with them

Five days inside Zoo York

To lose myself with friends

I'm nowhere without you

We don't go breaking down

I feel like nothing ever will

We don't go breaking down

(I don't believe)

I feel like nothing ever will

(We will)

We will never go breaking down

(I don't believe)

I feel like nothing

Just wanna be with you, my baby

Just wanna be with you, my baby

Just wanna be with you, my baby

Just wanna be with you, my baby

I'm counting up the cost of time

And will embrace our time away

We cannot save ourselves alone

Or rely on a mobile phone

Just wanna be with you, my baby

(I'm counting up the cost of time)

Just wanna be with you, my baby

(And will embrace our time away)

Just wanna be with you, my baby

(We cannot save ourselves alone)

Just wanna be with you, my baby

(Or rely on a mobile phone)

Just wanna be with you, my baby

Just wanna be with you, my baby

Just wanna be with you

Shoot me if I'm incorrect but I feel like I post Athlete's songs quite often... I wonder why? It's probably because of the lyrics...

Cool kids

Song of the day;;

→ Athlete - I Love

Fire on the hill

Fire in me still

I feel out of my league

But you turn around and say to me that

I love everybody here

And I agree

I love everybody here

Sun has long gone out

Sun comes up like it's been about a year

But I don't mind if we

Drink again, my friend

'Cause there is so much left to say

There is so much left to say

There is so much left to say

There is so much left to say

People for miles

Opening up

People for miles

In focus and not

We'd be okay if we had

Answers to questions in rhymes and in reasons

Should leave it to me to be all of four seasons

You see, I love everybody here

And I agree, I love everybody here

I love everybody here

I love everybody here

Well, I love everybody here

I love everybody here

Life is beautiful, for sure

'Cause I love everybody here

Song of the day;;

→ Athlete - Modern Mafia

Tell me something I don't know

'Cause we've been there ten times before

Make it up as we go along

And we're in so deep it can't be wrong

It's obvious that

This is modern mafia

They're scared of us, they're scared of us

It's time for us to redefine

So fix your eyes, fix your eyes

This is modern mafia

They're scared of us, they're scared of us

I don't want to be on my own

I need a home, I need a home

There's a look that's in your eye

Dancing like a samurai

In silence you're still listening

'Cause somewhere something's happening

It's obvious that

This is modern mafia

They're scared of us, they're scared of us

It's time for us to redefine

So fix your eyes, fix your eyes

This is modern mafia

They're scared of us, they're scared of us

I don't want to be on my own

I need a home, I need a home

This is modern mafia

They're scared of us, they're scared of us

It's time for us to redefine

So fix your eyes, fix your eyes

This is modern mafia

They're scared of us, they're scared of us

I don't want to be on my own

I need a home, I need a home

This is modern mafia

They're scared of us, they're scared of us

It's time for us to redefine

So fix your eyes, fix your eyes

Thinking of you

Song of the day;;

→ Athlete - Street Map

I would like to think our paths are straight

Disconnected from the choices we make

That there is no reason why it can't be like you said

One day it's gonna happen

I don't know when

I'll be on your street

But I know one day it's gonna happen

You're gonna be swept off your feet

I would like someone to make a map

Mark my home and draw some lines that match

All of the reasons why it can be like you said

One day it's gonna happen

I don't know when

I'll be on your street

But I know one day it's gonna happen

You're gonna be swept off your feet

I don't know when

I don't know why

I don't know when

I don't know why

One day it's gonna happen

I don't know when

I'll be on your street

But I know one day it's gonna happen

You're gonna be swept off your feet

But all that I know is it's gonna happen

I don't know when

I'll be on your street

But I know one day it's gonna happen

You're gonna be swept off your feet

Maybe you

Song of the day;;

→ Athlete - Flying Over Bus Stops

I belong with your arms wrapped around my neck

Your lips glistening in the light

Awesome headlights passing by

Hold the thought, I hold the thought

Walking back towards your house

Raindrops bouncing off the leaves

Down to our September kiss

Flying over bus stops and playgrounds

I'm here, soaked right to the core

Stay here forever

I'm safe with you

If all the words I ever wrote

On the backs of envelopes

I could fold into paper planes

I would fly them trough your veins

Helicopters overhead

Wide awake at 3 am

Now the ink runs to your heart

And you know just how I feel

Flying over bus stops and playgrounds

I'm here, soaked right to the core

Stay here forever

I'm safe with you

Flying over bus stops and playgrounds

I'm here, soaked right to the core

Stay here forever

I'm safe with you

The age of wonder

Song of the day;;

→ Athlete - Second Hand Stores

Let's fall in love again

Tap the windows

And rescue our friends

How long 'til this makes sense, oh, oh

Let's fall in love again

Guard the windows

And rescue our friends

How long 'til this makes sense, oh, oh

It's calling out loud and it's taking over

Bleeding right out of the summer sky

It's calling out and it's taking over

We give it our all, so we don't know why

We can't slow it down, it's way too fast

Slow it down, it's way too fast

We're going on a search in some second hand stores

Gotta get back what we all threw away

We're going on a search in the middle of nowhere

We don't know what we're doing but we gotta just give it a go

We gotta just give it a go

Let's fall in love again

Tap the windows

And rescue our friends

How long 'til this makes sense, oh, oh

Let's fall in love again

Guard the windows

And rescue our friends

How long 'til this makes sense, oh, oh

Now let's sing this song again

'Cause it's been messed up for years

And let's make it ours again

Desperate like rain forest trees

Straining towards broken light

All fighting for their lives

Let's something something

'Cause that's where this song began

Born out of true romance

It's calling out loud and it's taking over

Bleeding right out of the summer sky

It's calling out and it's taking over

We give it our all, so we don't know why

We can't slow it down, it's way too fast

Slow it down, it's way too fast

We're going on a search in some second hand stores

Gotta get back what we all threw away

We're going on a search in the middle of nowhere

We don't know what we're doing but we gotta just give it a go

We gotta just give it a go

Slow it down

It's way too fast

Slow it down

It's way too fast [x2]

Song of the day;;

→ Athlete - Hurricane

All the places we grew up with

Playing hide and seek

Disappearing while we all sleep

Is it something we gotta get used to?

Is it something we gotta get used to?

Oh, hurricane

Oh, hurricane

All the millions that we marched with

It never made a sound

Never made a sound on your lips

Is it something we gotta get used to?

But we're not giving up the coastline so easily

Oh, hurricane

Oh, hurricane

I don't wanna run

I've been here since I was young

What we see today

Could be gone within the hour

Oh, hurricane, what you gonna do to us this time?

Oh, hurricane, what you gonna do to us this time?

Oh, hurricane

Is it something we gotta get used to?

Is it something we gotta get used to?

And it's something we gotta get used to

But we're not giving up the coastline so easily

Oh, hurricane

So, I haven't been posting for, what, five days? Sorry about that, if anyone actually stalks this. I've been sick and because of that I missed a whole week of school (the first time since grade 3 or 4, wow)... I've had fever and just been feeling really tired and shit... Well, I don't have any at the moment, so I guess it's over now. I'm just glad it's winter break next week. I think I'll try to make a proper post this weekend...

edit: Oh, and in case you were wondering where by other blog disappeared to, you can find it right here!

→ Athlete - The Outsiders

We can walk in straight lines

We can't see quite right

We've lost the plot

And we can't get it back

So let's lose ourselves

Let's lose ourselves

Can you spot the English here?

Let's pick a fight on whomever we like

'Cause we're never wrong

Nobody likes us

We don't care

So let's lose ourselves

Let's lose ourselves

Can you spot the English here?

We can see it for real

But it doesn't make sense

We're the outsiders

We can see all this speech

Come staggering out

And we can climb its way

To the top of that cloud

I'm away with the fairies now [x4]

This familiar environment

Gets my lungs confused

I breathe in every particle

That you drive through

That you drive through

Well, can you spot the English here?

We can see it for real

But it doesn't make sense

We're the outsiders

We can see all this speech

Come staggering out

And it can climb its way to the top

Of that cloud

Oh, I'm away with the fairies now [x4]

Far east dreams

Song of the day;;

→ Athlete - Airport Disco

Just a blur of red and yellow

Lovers dancing to the beat

I saw you at the centre of it all

The most beautiful thing

Oh, I want to take you home with me tonight

I want to take you home with me tonight

Some are here to remember

Some are here to forget

That we used you for nothing

And we couldn't care less

Oh, beautiful world

Can I win you back?

Beautiful world

Have you figured it out yet?

Have you figured it out yet?

So why don't you share it with us?

Just a blur of red and yellow

That everyone chose to ignore

We all sucked that beauty from you

And kept coming back for more

Oh, beautiful world

Can I win you back?

Beautiful world

Have you figured it out yet?

Have you figured it out yet?

So why don't you share it with us?

Oh, beautiful world

Can I win you back?

Beautiful world

Have you figured it out yet?

Have you figured it out yet?

So why don't you share it with us?

I actually really love this song. Oh, and also, I'm working on a header/banner for this blog, I'll put it up when it's ready.

Song of the day;;

→ Athlete - If I Found Out

Out of energy

I don't know what to do with myself

Made it eventually

And now I'm resting on the very last breath

And all I needed was this one

To get me back on my way

It wasn't long before I realised

There was no time to waste

There was soul all around me

Everybody let go

It wasn't long before we realised

There was no time to waste

Like I'm eleven again

I was the highest kid in the world

I reached a point with no ed

Just looking out so I can take it all in

And all I needed was this one

To get me back on my way

It wasn't long before I realised

There was no time to waste

There was soul all around me

Everybody let go

It wasn't long before we realised

There was no time to waste

And all I needed was this one

To get me back on my way

It wasn't long before I realised

There was no time to waste

I thank you for soul

No point unless you got soul

This world has got to have soul

Looking around for your soul

Digging down to your soul

That I found that you got soul

You'll be holding out all your soul

Lifted up all your soul

'Cause I thank you for soul

Song of the day;;

→ Athlete - In the Library

Put your finger on my lips

We could be a grown up fairy tale

Swimming in the library

We're not going anywhere

She said I love it

Oh, I love it when we touch

When we touch on something

We can't find in any book

At least I'm not on my own

In this ocean of words

At least I'm not on my own

Cover up with blankets

Cover up with blankets from the years

That our parents gave us

To keep out the cold and the unknown

Then the library grew

Into a forest of desire

Cut down some friends that I knew

Who were gonna start a forest fire

At least I'm not on my own

In this ocean of words

At least I'm not on my own

At least I'm not on my own

In this ocean of words

At least I'm not on my own

She said I love it

Oh, I love it when we touch

When we touch on something

We can't find in any book

Song of the day;;

→ Athlete - Summer Sun

She said, ''I don't know which planet you're from

It seems you couldn't have gotten it more wrong''

She's like a fire burning in the snow

I'm melting into her arms

I can't wait for every single second to countdown

Summer sun

Don't leave us now that it's only just begun

Pin me down

I can't move

I am blinded when I look at you

Oh

There would be no light if there were no cracks

No perfection if you turn the clocks back

Close your eyes and drift away with me

Make my body weak

I can't wait for every single second to countdown

Summer sun

Don't leave us now that it's only just begun

Pin me down

I can't move

I am blinded when I look at you

Oh

Oh

Summer sun

Don't leave us now that it's only just begun

Pin me down

I can't move

I am blinded when I look at you

Oh
