my favorite song lyrics and why they are my favorite

to start, most of them are simply because of the way they sound... but i also like the memories i have attached to them or what i think about them when i hear it

"The artist's palette falls

The paint is spilled with blood"

and

"The sleepless nights have no compassion

And the dreams that come aren't true

A charade of lies unconscious

And so much left to be proved

But the sun will rise and fall again

And the nights will start to shorten

The memories will fade into darkness"

-The Artist, Silverstein

i LOVE this song so much, these are my favorite parts and lyrics. i like how its about dying creativity and people shunning it away. "the memories will fade into darkness" nobody will remember everything you've worked for, and nobody will see how much you put your whole heart and soul into your work. so sad, i love it!!

"What would it take for things to be quiet?

Quiet like the snow"

-Louder Than Thunder, The Devil Wears Prada

this song is one of my go-to therapy songs, and i love this part so much because we all just want things to be quiet sometimes. also, i love the snow so much and playing alone in the snow is also therapeutic. quiet, alone, in the snow, making snow sculptures. reminds me of this song!

"Summer and gold throw their colors at the dark,

a mother tells her son, "Darling, look at the sparks."

you hold my attention without even trying.

A beautiful reflection from firework eyes"

-The New National Anthem, Pierce the Veil

i would listen to this coming home from dance class because by the time i would get home it would be sunset(the setting of the song), and this is weird but i would imagine someone thinking this about me and it made me happy. i'm going to throw up everytime i read that, but its true. 😬
