Top 5 Songs (week starting 10/08/09)

This week, all five of my songs are from my new warped tour album. However, this WONT last. I got my new phone today (will post about it tomorrow) which allows me to have unlimited music downloads. Expect things to get seriously mixed up.

5. Institution - Pour Habit
This song provides the hectic pace and almost random beats you'd expect for a song called institution, and has an amazing guitar solo to boot. Nice.

Can't even find any lyrics to this :P

4. Come Around - Sing it Loud
Ahh, another lovey-dovey song (kind of) about a guy asking a girl to "come around". I don't really know why these tunes really attract me so much :s However, it's a cool song. Standard.

Good Lyrics:
"i'm all tied up
and i'm trying my best to get down
come on girl
come around, come around
i'll wait up all night just to see you move "

3. Friends in the Armed Forces - Thursday
Thursday are an amazing band. I used to be really into a song by them called "tomorrow I'll be you." To be honest, this song isn't AS good, but I've been listening to it all week, it's just something about their style that gets me...

Good Lyrics:
"There's a purple heart on the stars and stripes tonight"

2. America Underwater - Lovehatehero
The intro tune had me on this one. It sort of turns into some kind of anthem from there on, it's hard to explain. In that sense, it kind of draws you in with these "words of wisdom."
Long story.

Good Lyrics:
"On my own
Never been more afraid to leave
Our love has gone
Hand in hand, and we'll sing this song
We've lost our homes
It's only gonna get better
If we work as one
Tomorrow can be brighter for us all"

1. Eva the Carrier - A Skylit Drive
This is the most powerful song on my list and I still haven't decided if the singer is a boy or a girl (I'm leaning towards boy). Maybe it's both. . . Anyway, it's pretty much the only song in the list where I actually WANTED to listen to what they were saying and didn't just listen along for the sake of it. Doesn't say a lot for this week's list does it?

"I would like to inform you that I have lost to my worst enemies
Try to live frozen in time
Eva! Eva!
Break all of my will to survive
Eva! Eva!
It seems to me that you have something to prove

It's your time to own up to the false foundation under my arm
Pictures bring clarity to what it's meant to be

Going that last mile
Now that isn't your smile

You mustn't open your mind to what you believe
Please tell me that this is for real
Won't you shine your light on me?
Don't say that you want me
Please tell me that this is for real
I just might say someday
I could be better off in your mind

Hey baby, do you see me cause I'm staring at you
Hey baby, I want you I want you
Hey baby, do you see me cause I'm staring at you
Hey baby, I want you I want you alive
Come sit next to me
Can you see into my mind?

Going that last mile
Now that isn't your smile

You mustn't open your mind to what you believe
Please tell me that this is for real
Won't you shine your light on me?
Don't say that you want me
Please tell me that this is for real
I just might say someday
I could be better off in your mind

Smile forward
I've been trapped in the fiction of a fraud
It isn't over until I get what I deserve
It's what I deserve

You mustn't open your mind to what you believe
Please tell me that this is for real
Won't you shine your light on me?
Don't say that you want me
Please tell me that this is for real
I just might say somedayI could be better off in your mind"

INTERESTING FACT: People seem to think this song is based on Wall-e (What the fuck?)
