Bastille - Pompeii

And the walls kept tumbling down
In the city that we love
Grey clouds roll over the hills
Bringing darkness from above

But if you close your eyes,
Does it almost feel like
Nothing changed at all?
And if you close your eyes,
Does it almost feel like
You’ve been here before?

Oh where do we begin?
The rubble or our sins?
Oh where do we begin?
The rubble or our sins?

Muse - Starlight

*for Rob, Kristen, and the fandom*

Far away
This ship is taking me far away
Far away from the memories
Of the people who care if I live or die

Starlight
I will be chasing your starlight
Until the end of my life
I don’t know if it’s worth it anymore

Hold you in my arms
I just wanted to hold
You in my arms

My life
You electrify my life
Let’s conspire to ignite
All the souls that would die just to feel alive

But I’ll never let you go
If you promise not to fade away
Never fade away

Our hopes and expectations
Black holes and revelations
Our hopes and expectations
Black holes and revelations

Hold you in my arms
I just wanted to hold
You in my arms

Far away
This ship is taking me far away
Far away from the memories
Of the people who care if I live or die

And I’ll never let you go
If you promise not to fade away
Never fade away

Our hopes and expectations
Black holes and revelations
Our hopes and expectations
Black holes and revelations

Hold you in my arms
I just wanted to hold
You in my arms
I just wanted to hold

Owen Pallett | Tryst With Mephistopheles

Reading these lyrics with new eyes:

I stumbled on the summit’s path.
Clumsy, clumsy.
No paragon am I.
I can’t even keep my shoes tied.

I’ve been in love with Owen ever since
I heard the strains of Psalm 21.
Standing between the choirs,
As they sang, “Laudate Dominum, Laudate Dominum”.

Damn, I wrote it down, but I left it in the pocket of my other jeans.
Scrawled across the foolscap: “I don’t know what your devotion means,
I don’t know what your devotion means.”

And up, upon the summit I can see
The one I worshiped as a boy.
The Creator, The Great White Noise.
The Great White Noise.

Charged and charging up the ridge.
The chests are empty, the coffers too.
They float in the flood, and so will you, I swear, so will you.

“Your light is spent! Your light is spent!” I cried,
As I drove the iron spike into Owen’s eyes.
The sun sped cross the plains like that cinematic moment where
Humanity and nature collide.
When you think, “Everything’s gonna be all right,”
Just before the hero gets a bullet in his side.

Whizzing off the clifftop,
Listening for the spatter, thirty floors below.
Down come the vultures.
I will not be your fuel anymore.

Now the author has been silenced, how will they ever decipher me?
I hope they hear these words and are convinced
You never even knew me.

I draw a bruise on your brawny shoulder,
Scratch my fingers over your tattoos.
The author has been removed.

The National - Lucky You

Every time you get a drink
And every time you go to asleep
Are those dreams inside you head
Is there sunlight on your bed
And every time you’re driving home
Way outside your safety zone
Wherever you will ever be
You’re never getting rid of me

You own me
There’s nothing you can do
You own me

You coulda made a safer bet
But what you break is what you get
You wake up in the bed you make
I think you made a big mistake

You own me
There’s nothing you can do
You own me
You own me
Lucky you

You own me
There’s nothing you can do

You clean yourself to meet
The man who isn’t me
You’re putting on a shirt
A shirt I’ll never see
The letter’s in your coat
But no one’s in your head
Cause you’re too smart to remember
You’re too smart
Lucky you

Exile Vilify - The National

Exile
It takes your mind again
Exile
It takes your mind again
You’ve got suckers’ luck
Have you given up?

Does it feel like a trial?
Does it trouble your mind the way you trouble mine?

Exile
It takes your mind again
Exile
It takes your mind again
Oh, you meant so much
Have you given up?

Does it feel like a trial?
Does it trouble your mind the way you trouble mine?
Does it feel like a trial?
Now you’re thinking too fast 
You’re like marbles on glass

Vilify
Don’t even try
Vilify
Don’t even try

You’ve got suckers’ luck
Have you given up?
Does it feel like a trial?
Does it trouble your mind the way you trouble mine?
Does it feel like a trial?
Did you fall for the same empty answers again?

Vilify
Don’t even try
Vilify
Don’t even try
Vilify…

The National - “About Today”

Today you were far away
and I didn’t ask you why
What could I say
I was far away
You just walked away
and I just watched you
What could I say

How close am I to losing you
