Top 5 Songs (Week Starting 08/06)

Here I am, not so bright and very early to post my top 5 songs for this week. I have a busy(ish) day later on so I decided to give you all this sooner than later. Anyone paying any kind of attention to me this week will know for sure what my number 1 is this week, the big question is: what are the other four? I was slightly confused myself, as I'd been listening to it on repeat throughout :p

5. Sleepwalking - Blindside

Sleepwalking is a song that always seemed to hit me for no reason, the delivery is just that powerful I guess. OK, after looking up the meaning for the first time, it turns out that everybody in this world is sleepwalking, because they have not opened themselves up about Christianity or something, blegh. Point it, it sounds awesome.

Good Lyrics: Now here I am, but I'm just sleepwalking
Yes here I stand
But I guess I'm just sleeptalking for myself

4. Adalia - Madina Lake

People that know me well enough know for certain that this is one of my favourite, favourite songs, top 3 for sure. I like this song because as all madina lake songs go, the tune and the lyrics merge to create amazing music, and the lyrics themselves are amazing too. I have about four different versions of this song, and I can tell you exactly what's different about all of them. From the lyrics, the song sounds like it's about a girl who's a bit unstable but the guy loves her and will do anything protect her because she reminds him of him. This is just the single version, which also happens to be my ring tone :p I'm not going to post many lyrics to this, but I can assure you that you WILL see them another time. I'm just gonna leave it as this: "I'll be chasing dragonflies from her darkest skies until the day she dies" Beautiful :)

3. Which to Bury, Us or the Hatchet? - Relient K

Yes, it's Relient K AGAIN, I'm sure you're all getting bored of them now, but I recommend this song simply because it's much more grown up than other Relient K songs. It's the first song I heard by these guys and although it hasn't hit number one, it's still my favourite. It's so good, it actually makes a banjo sound serious.

Good Lyrics: "I think you know what i'm getting at
i find it so upsetting that
The memories that you select
You keep the bad but the good ones you forget"

"[Chorus]No, I dont hate you
Dont want to fight you
Know I'll always love you
But right now i just dont like you
Know I dont hate you
Dont want to fight you
Know I'll always love you
But right know i just dont like you
'Cause you took this to far"

"Make your decision and dont you dare think twice
Go with your instincts along with some bad advice
This didnt turn out the way i thought it would at all
You blame me but some of this is still your fault

I tried to move you, but you wouldnt budge
I tried to hold your hand but you'd rather hold your grudge
I think you know what i'm getting at
You said good-bye and i just dont want you regretting that"

2. Teasing to Please (Left Side, Strong Side) - Cute Is What We Aim For

I've just noticed that 2nd, 3rd and 4th bands on this list have all hit number 1 spot at least once :p Anyway, I like this song because ONE LINE reminds me of me, and the rest in the chorus reminds me of the situation I seem to keep getting myself into. There are only bits and pieces of meanings spread around the internet, they just give away that the heart is on the left side (strong side) and that it's about a selfish guy who's in love with a selfish girl who "gives him a run for his money". Take a look for yourself.

Good Lyrics: "'Cause conflict and make your top pick
Restitch my ripped jeans
And take the old ones
Take the old ones out back
Sew them tight at the seams please
I've got so many ripped knees"

"[Chorus] I'm selfish as selfish comes
You're giving me a run,
For my money,
Honey"

1. Sink Into Me - Taking Back Sunday

This is day 6 of listening to this song on repeat :p This may leave you wondering: How did he find the other songs? well, I found numbers 4 and 5 a few hours ago when i decided to give my whole playlist a go, I discovered number 3 while playing Need For Speed (I have a stash of music on my brother's xbox) and I found number 2 just before I got hooked on this song. Anyway, I REALLY don't know how I got so hooked on this song, it has a lively tune I guess, and I adore the lyrics. I think it's about a guy who really likes a girl and the chorus is split into two parts: how much he likes her and how he's going about trying to get her. So far I've had about four different sets of lyrics from this song in my MSN screen name :p It is possibly the best thing I've ever heard by Taking Back Sunday (I have their old album) and I don't care who misses Fred (ex lead singer), I think Adam has proved his worth!

"Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!

Come on, tell me that you’re better
And you rather just forget
That things have gone so far
Yeah, tell me that you’re better
And you'd rather just forget
That things have gone too far

You're all I see,
Sink into me
Sharpen your teeth,
Sink into me
Sink into me (sink in, sink in)

I'd like to see our roles reversed
To watch you hang on every word
I'd like to see you have your way
I keep my grammar well rehearsed
Correct each stutter, every slur
Come on and have your way with me

Now tell me that you’re better
And you rather just forget
That things have gone so far
You tell me that you’re better
And you'd rather just forget
That yeah, things have gone too far

Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!

You're all I see,
Sink into me
Sharpen your teeth,
Sink into me
Sink into me (sink in, sink in)

Well, I'd like to see our roles reversed
To watch you hang on every word
I'd like to see you have your way
I keep my grammar well rehearsed
Correct each stutter, every slur
Come on and have your way with me
Come on and have your way with me

I'd like to be a note
The kind you could sing
But don't because you're shy
That way I'll live inside your throat
And hang from every word you spoke

Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!

You're all I see,
Sink into me
Sharpen your teeth,
Sink into me
Sink into me (sink in, sink in)

I'd like to see you have your way
Come on, have your way with me
(Aim for every word you spoke)
I'd like to see you have your way
(Correct each stutter, every slur)
Come on, have your way with me
(Sink into me)
