Top 5 Songs! (Week Starting 29/06)

This week's been a bit hectic really. I'm still on the spare, and I've lost another playlist so I'm gonna have to remake it (AGAIN!). So I made a really basic 17 song playlist to keep me occupied, am I bored of it, no, it's AWESOME! So before I write my top five (which is a real heavyweight list), I'd like to mention the other twelve:

Situations - Escape the Fate
Ashes, Ashes - Hidden in Plain View
Last Train Home - Lostprophets
Adalia - Madina Lake
Monsters - Matchbook Romance
Helena - My Chemical Romance
Misery Business - Paramore
Don't Bury Me . . . I'm Still Not Dead - Riverboat Gamblers
Face Down - The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus
All That I've Got - The Used
Save It For the Bedroom - You Me At Six
Under Pressure - The Used and My Chemical Romance
Miserable at Best - Mayday Parade

Now, are you sitting comfortably? Good. Then I shall begin.

5. The Fantasy - 30 Seconds To Mars

I used to listen to this song on repeat back when I first heard it, that's how much it threw me. I love 30 seconds to mars, I have their first album on CD (how retro am i? :P). There is a lot of contradiction to what this song's about, and to be honest, I don't care what it's about because it's just an amazingly mesmerising song.

Good lyrics: "do you live?
do you die?
do you bleed?
for the fantasy"

4. The Ghost of You - My Chemical Romance

This song was one of the late comers to my playlist, I just thought "why not?" and here it is :p My chemical romance's songs used to have really powerful choruses, and I love them to bits. It's quite obviously about a dead relationship. He uses death as explanation quite a lot, for instance, he says "she dies", meaning the moment the lies were uncovered, she was dead to him. It's so powerful, check it out.

Good lyrics:"at the end of the world
or the last thing i see
you are never coming home, never coming home
could i? should i?

and all the things that you never ever told me
and all the smiles that are ever gonna hug me
never coming home, never coming home
could i? should i?

and all the wounds that are ever gonna scar me
for all the ghosts that are never gonna catch me
if i fall, if i fall down"

"and i remember now
at the top of my lungs, in my arms
she dies, she dies"

3. Everchanging (acoustic) - Rise Against

Yes, it's back! This song is in my list because after two days without a computer OR music, I woke up with this song in my head. It's because my life IS everchanging (in the most improbable ways) and my latest twist has left me staring "in the face of change" I just hope the rest of the line doesn't apply to me.

Important Lyrics: "In the face of change,
that's when she turned to me and said
"i'm not sure anymore"

"have you ever been a part of something
that you thought would never end
and then of course it did"

"and now the lines are drawn
is this feeling gone?
the best parts of this have come and gone"

2. Johnny Sniper - Enter Shikari

This song is one of my favourites, because it sounds so positive. There are two meanings: the title and the lyrics. The title is based on a sex education character who had a sniper rifle that fired condoms or "johnnies", whenever a couple were going to have unprotected sex he'd fire a "johnny" onto the end of his penis (just trying to be scientific) :p Good story. The lyrics are about saving the planet. Thought I'd be blunt about that, you'll see in the lyrics.

Good Lyrics: "So this is a quest to save the world,
And He'll always be here for another,
Another day, Another chance to rescue"

"Hey Johnny!
Way to save the world!
Way to save the world!
Way to save the world!
Way...to save...the world!"

"This is all i need to feel alive,
This is all i need to feel alive,
This is all i need to feel alive,
This is all i need to feel alive,
This is all i need to feel alive,
This is all i need to feel alive,
This is all i need to feel alive,
This is all i need to feel alive,
This is all i need to feel alive"

1. MakeDamnSure - Taking Back Sunday

The second band to get two number ones! woooo! This is from the album that I actually own (Louder Now, it's track 3, I know that off by heart) I've always loved it. This song very much relates to my life right now, in fact i used to listen to it before, it has ALWAYS related to my feelings towards a certain relationship. It's about a girl that the narrator likes, but he thinks that he's wayyyy out of her league...It's amazing how my life happens.

"You've got this new head
Filled up with smoke
I've got my veins all tangled close
To those jukebox bars you frequent
They're the safest place to hide

A long night spent with your most obvious weaknesses
You start shaking at the thought
You are everything I want
Because you are everything I'm not

And we lay, we lay together
Just not too close, too close
(How close is close enough?)
And we lay, we lay together
Just not too close, too close
(How close is close enough?)

I just wanna break you down so badly
I trip over everything you say
I just wanna break you down so badly
In the worst way

My inarticulate store bought
Hangover hobby kit it talks
It says 'You, oh, you are so cool'
Scissor shaped across the bed
You are red, violent red
You hollow out my hungry eyes
You hollow out my hungry eyes

And we lay, we lay together
Just not too close, too close
(How close is close enough?)
And we lay, we lay together
Just not too close, too close
(How close is close enough?)

I just wanna break you down so badly
I trip over everything you say
I just wanna break you down so badly
In the worst way
I just wanna break you down so badly
I trip over everything you say
I just wanna break you down so badly
In the worst way

I'm gonna make damn sure
That you can't ever leave
No you won't ever get too far from me
You won't ever get too far from me
I'll make damn sure
That you can't ever leave
No you won't ever get too far from me
You won't ever get too far from me
You won't ever get too far from me
You won't ever get too far

I just wanna break you down so badly
I trip over everything you say
I just wanna break you down so badly
In the worst way

I'm gonna make damn sure
I just wanna break you down so badly
I just wanna break you down so badly
In the worst way"
