I Woke Up To Watch This Song On YouTube

Your Love Is A Lie

I fall asleep by the telephone (telephone)
It's two o'clock and I'm waiting up alone
Tell me where have you been? (where have you been?)
I found a note with another name (another name)
You blow a kiss but it just don't feel the same
'Cause I can feel that you're gone (feel that you're gone)

I can't bite my tongue forever
While you try to play it cool
You can hide behind your stories
But don't take me for a fool

(Chorus)
You can tell me that there's nobody else (but I feel it)
You can tell me that your home by yourself (but I see it)
You can look into my eyes and pretend all you want
But I know, I know
Your love is just a lie (lie, lie, lie)
It's nothing but a lie (lie, lie, lie)

You look so innocent (innocent)
But the guilt in your voice gives you away
Yeah, you know what I mean... (know what I mean)
How does it feel when you kiss when you know that I trust you?
And do you think about me when he fucks you
Could you be more obscene? (more obscene)

So don't try to say you're sorry
Or try to make it right
Don't waste your breath because it's too late
It's too late

(Chorus)
You can tell me that there's nobody else (but I feel it)
You can tell me that you're home by yourself (but I see it)
You can look into my eyes and pretend all you want
But I know, I know
Your love is just a lie (lie, lie, lie)
It's nothing but a lie (lie, lie, lie)
You're nothing but a lie

You can tell me that there's nobody else (but I feel it)
You can tell me that you're home by yourself (but I see it)
You can look into my eyes and pretend all you want
But I know, I know

Your love is just a lie
I know
You're nothing but a lie (lie, lie, lie)
You're nothing but a lie (lie, lie, lie)
Your love is just a lie (lie)

Simple Plan

i must say, the lyrics are pretty interesting.

Currently Listening To: Miami - Taking Back Sunday

5:52 AM

maybe i'm scared of sleeping.

cuz i know whats waiting for me are just dreams that will never come true.

and maybe i don't wake up cuz i'm enjoying every bit of that dream.

and i don't want to face the world.

Crazy Blogging Times

i just realized, that since 2 hours ago of coming back til now, i've posted 3, um 4 including this, posts.

and it's 5 now. i. should. sleep. like. seriously.

but i guess my yesterdays 2 to 5 sleeping is whats keeping me awake la. hmmm.

and this may be a good blogging time.

i mean think abt it. enjoy urself. come back and blog la.

Nobody Knows


i wish i knew the future.

cuz this annoying "dunno what to do" feeling, is well... pretty much annoying the shit out of me.

why the heck am i awake so late? who knows.

could be the BlueBird and Tui.

could be the thoughts.

could be the wondering.

but definitely there's a whole lot of ego involved.

and there's a lot of keeping it all in and letting it all out somehow.

or at least hoping that you're letting it all out. somehow.

it doesn't rain. it pours.

and wearing a raincoat doesn't always mean you'll stay dry.

the only way to stay dry is if you don't leave the sheltered cover of your home.

but you've already made your decision to step out into the rain.

and you can't change the past.

We're neither clear nor descript.
We kept it safe and slow.
The quiet things that no one ever knows.

So keep the blood in your head,
And keep your feet on the ground.
Today's the day it gets tired.
Today's the day we drop out.
Gave up my body and bed,
All for an empty hotel.
Wasting words on lower cases and capitals.

Confidence

For You I Will (Confidence)

Wandering the streets, in a world underneath it all
Nothing seems to be, nothing tastes as sweet
As what I can't have
Like you and the way that you're twisting your hair round your finger
Tonight I'm not afraid to tell you
What I feel about you.

Oh I'm gonna muster every ounce of confidence I have
and cannon ball into the water
I'm gonna muster every ounce of confidence I have
For you I will
For you I will

Forgive me if I st-stutter
From all of the clutter in my head
Cause I could fall asleep in those eyes
Like a water bed
Do I seem familiar, I've crossed you in hallways
A thousand times, no more camouflauge
I want to be exposed, and not be afraid to fall.

Oh I'm gonna muster every ounce of confidence I have
and cannon ball into the water
I'm gonna muster every ounce of confidence I have
For you I will
You always want what you can't have
But I've got to try
I'm gonna muster every ounce of confidence I have
For you I will
For you I will
For you I will

If I could dim the lights in the mall
And create a mood I would
Shout out your name so it echos in every room
I would

That's what I'd do
That's what I'd do
That's what I'd do, to get through to you

Oh I'm gonna muster every ounce of confidence I have
and cannon ball into the water
I'm gonna muster every ounce of confidence I have
For you I will
You always want what you can't have
But I've got to try
I'm gonna muster every ounce of confidence I have
For you I will
For you I will
For you I will

Erm Grow Down?

u know it's funny, we always tell ppl who always act like small kids, or at ppl who act more childish than they should, to just grow up!

but what do we tell ppl who are acting way over their age?

Grow down?

why can't ppl just enjoy the age that they are in?

i think maybe being told to grow up is better than being told to grown down.

but thats just cuz i'd rather just be a small kid maybe. ;)

p.s.: how cool is it that i wanted to blog this and Dana blogged abt almost similarly the same thing. haha. gr8 minds think alike! right Dana? =D

You Can't Always Be First

sooner or later u will be replaced.

it sucks. but it's for the better.

but instead of being depressed about not being first. just remember that u actually were first.

cuz it aint easy to get first. so think back and embrace the good moments u had being first.

=D

but of course, if u never were first, or ur first was never enjoyable, well, thats a story for a different day... =P

Learning From Songs

i feel like i'm the only one who learns about life through songs.

i think i love music too much. haha!

btw. the pic apparently relates to the song. =)
Gone

She told him she'd rather fix her makeup
than try to fix what's going on
But the problem keeps on calling
even with the cell phone gone
She told him that she believes in living
bigger than she's living now
But her world keeps spinning backwards
and upside down

Don't say so long, and throw yourself wrong
Don't spin today away, cause today will soon be

Gone, like yesterday is gone,
Like history is gone
Just try to prove me wrong
And pretend like you're immortal

She said he said live like no tomorrow
Every day we borrow brings us
one step closer to the edge, infinity
Where's your treasure, where's your hope
if you get the world and lose your soul?
She pretends like she pretends like she's immortal

Don't say so long, you're not that far gone
This could be your big chance to make up
Today will soon be

Gone, like yesterday is gone
Like history is gone
The world keeps spinning on
You're going, going, gone
Like summer break is gone,
Like saturday is gone
Just try to prove me wrong
You pretend like you're immortal.

We are not infinite
We are not permanent
Nothing is immediate
We're so confident
In our accomplishments
Look at our decadence

Gone, like Frank Sinatra, like Elvis and his mom,
Like Al Pachino's cash, nothing lasts in this life
Gone, my high school dreams are gone,
my childhood sweets are gone
Life is a day that doesn't last for long.

Life is more than money, time was never money
Time was never cash, life is still more than girls.
Life is more than hundred dollar bills and roto-tom fills,
Life is more than fame and rock and roll and thrills,
All the riches of the kings end up in wills
We've got information in the information age but do
We know what life is outside of our convenient Lexus cages?
She said he said live like no tomorrow
Every moment that we borrow brings us closer
to the God who's not short of cash
Hey Bono, I'm glad you asked
Life is still worth living, life is more than what we are.

What's Sad Is....

.... this is only HALF of the CD's that i have. the other half or more is still back in Malaysia.

and even with just this much, i probably have more CD's then 85% (or more. super rough estimate) of the ppl in the world who listen to music.

and there's like dunno how many billion albums in the world.

come on ppl. support la the artists a bit.

hmm.

What To Do?

what do you do when everyone around you finds something so wonderful and great, and then they tell you to check it out.

but when you do check it out, you find it to be real mediocre.

for one thing, you don't want to say anything to them cuz then they might think twice about it. and cuz of that the awe they had in that something may be lost. and you know you don't wanna take that away from them.

but yet if you don't say something, then it'll be like you're afraid to voice out your opinion. or smth like that. like where is the freedom of speech?

ah. dunno la. dunno how to word this out.

just that from what i've learnt and been learning, instead of just keeping it in. voice your opinions. the truth may suck, but it's still the truth. and we all gotta deal with it one day.

so why not today?

hmm

Music Influences Part 1

k was thinkin abt this the other day, and i thought it'll be cool to find out how exactly i know some of the bands i know. but i know if i were to go through all the artists i know, til forever also i won't end. haha. so i decided to look through my Full Albums folder and just go through the artists. so here goes.

*****
F.Y.I - format

Band - Albums i have from them seperated by comma
description
First Song Heard: Song Name [Album] (if no square brackets it's from the album i have stated with the band name)

*****

+44 (Plus 44) - When Your Heart Stops Beating
as far as i can remember, i found this band myself online. can't exactly remember how i found them tho. but i know what made me listen to them. it was the fact that the ex members of blink 182 were in the band (Travis Barker and Mark Hoppus). and i liked blink during that time so i def had to listen to them. and well, obviously i liked them. haha.
First Song Heard: When Your Heart Stops Beating

30 Seconds To Mars - A Beautiful Lie
hmm. i think i heard them off the radio. and also i heard Attack on hitz.tv. tot the song was pretty cool and got it. then also with recommendation from Jin about the band i got the album. but i must say that i just find the album ok only. nothing special.
First Song Heard: I'll Attack

The Afters - I Wish We All Could Win
this band is a Christian band which i got to know from Wei Zhen. really good stuff. the songs were just rockish enough to be enjoyed yet not too rock and all. so i got the whole album. it's pretty not bad.
First Song Heard: Someday

The All-American Rejects - The All-American Rejects, Move Along
this band definitely comes from listening to the radio. and man they have good stuff songs. like one album they can release SO many songs as singles. and all were good by me too. both albums are good i must say. well, at least most of the songs i've heard la. haha.
First Song Heard: Swing Swing [The All-American Rejects]

Anberlin - Never Take Friendship Personal, Blueprint For The Blackmarket, Cities, Lost Songs
k i know this band from two ppl. first heard of it from Manjuli. but nvr actually took any effort to go and get songs from them. then one day, i had to lend Julian my thumbdrive. and it came back with some recommendations of songs. and one he gave me most of the tracks off their Cities album. and yeah. thats when i started liking Anberlin. cuz man their music is good stuff la. which is obviously why i bought their Cities CD la. haha. the other three were well, just okay only i feel. Never Take Friendship Personal was not that bad la. but the other two were ok.
First Song Heard: Godspeed [Cities]

Atreyu - Lead Sails Paper Anchor
this band comes from YouTube. was watching the Projekt Revolution 2008 vid off the Linkin Park YouTube page and saw them in the trailer. they sounded not bad. so i got their songs. which turned out into me getting their album which is not bad also la.
First Song Heard: Falling Down

blink-182 - Blink-182
well, like i said, i like blink-182. so naturally i got their songs. and then i heard songs from their (at that time) new album thx to Ruth. and then i managed to get her to get me a copy of that album. and wow. it was really not bad. a change from the fun fun type of blink-182 to a more serious type. but it was still all good.
First Song Heard: All The Small Things [Enema of The State]

Cartel - Chroma
this band i nvr heard of b4 til Su Teng intro-ed it to me. and when she intro-ed it to me, she sent the WHOLE album! haha. so thats why i have the album. but i must say, it's pretty not bad also. nice to listen to la. can't remember how the album goes di. but i believe it's not bad la.
First Song Heard: Say Anything (Else)

Escape The Fate - Dying Is Your Latest Fashion
k this is Jin all the way again. he found this band somehow, and earlier this year he told me to get their songs. heard some and wah, not bad la. then he sent more of their songs. and then i got the rest of the songs from the album which he din send. and i dun think i've heard the whole album fully yet also. but yea la. haha. so far not bad la.
First Song Heard: Situations

Fall Out Boy - From Under The Cork Tree, Infinity On High, **** - Live In Pheonix
first time ever hearing of this band, i was actually looking for some other song, and Sugar, We're Goin Down popped up instead of the song i was looking for. and i tak suker la cuz can't find my song. oh ya. now i remember, i was looking for X-Ecutioners It's Goin Down. thats when i saw this song. but nvr downloaded. and at that time apparently the song was famous la. of course i din know since i don't listen to radio at the time anymore. so yea. then one day watching MTV i think, saw the vid. and the song was kinda not bad la. so went and got the song. then saw more vids from them and realise eh not bad la. got their album also (From Under The Cork Tree). then eh, really good la this album. so then the album went under my favourites list. then listened to their new album stuff also. the first few songs la. felt they changed since their last album. din really like la. but still ok. then, Su Teng sent me their whole album again. and then got used to the songs. and realised even thought it's diff, it's still cool la. and loved the songs from the album and bought the album also. haha. the Live in Pheonix is so not worth it la i think. wasted downloading it. nothing gr8 at all. the only thing cool was they sorta covered Panic's I Write Sins Not Tragedies in their This Aint A Scene song. i liked how they started the song la.
First Song Heard: Sugar, We're Goin Down

Good Charlotte - The Chronicles Of Life and Death
k this band got off MTV and Channel V. remember watching their vids with my sis like a long time ago. and wah, their songs not bad la. quite nice also. then my younger sis, bought (ciplak version) the album. and i leeched off her la. :) and the album aint that bad la. quite nice also. got some nice songs and all. above average i must say.
First Song Heard: Lifestyles of The Rich And The Famous [Young and the Hopeless]

Green Day - American Idiot
this band goes waaaayyyy baacccckkk. like seriously old. they seem to have been around like since forever man. haha. the American Idiot album was not bad la. quite nice also. i like their Rock Opera tracks. long but still nice and entertaining. and they had a couple of good songs from the album also. but this would still go as above average only.
First Song Heard: No idea. but we'll go with Time Of Your Life [Nimrod]

Jack's Mannequin - Everything In Transit
i can't remember how i knew this band. i think i came across some of the lyrics from a song of Ming Jie's friendster la. or his blog. or smth like that la. did a quick search and found the band. then i think my sis also knew of some other songs and i got them also. then i remember hearing them on OTH one day also.
First Song Heard: The Mix-Tape

k i'm damn malas and tired now di. may go and sleep soon. but i'll continue the rest later. and btw, if i forgot to mention u somehow if u've intro-ed a band to me, pls let me know. cuz i wanna know how i know the bands. thx! =)

Ironic

An old man turned ninety-eight
He won the lottery and died the next day
It's a black fly in your Chardonnay
It's a death row pardon two minutes too late
And isn't it ironic, don't you think

It's like rain on your wedding day
It's a free ride when you've already paid
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
And who would've thought it figures

Mr. Play It Safe was afraid to fly
He packed his suitcase and kissed his kids good-bye
He waited his whole damn life to take that flight
And as the plane crashed down he thought
Well isn't this nice
And isn't it ironic... don't you think?

It's like rain on your wedding day
It's a free ride when you've already paid
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
And who would've thought it figures

Well life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
When you think everything's okay and everything's going right
And life has a funny way of helping you out when
You think everything's gone wrong and everything blows up in your face

A traffic jam when you're already late
A no-smoking sign on your cigarette break
It's like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife
It's meeting the man of my dreams
And then meeting his beautiful wife
And isn't it ironic, don't you think?
A little too ironic and yeah I really do think

It's like rain on your wedding day
It's a free ride when you've already paid
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
Who would've thought it figures

Life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
Life has a funny, funny way of helping you out
Helping you out
