::@:: Reality of Dreams ::@::

Well I managed to depress myself a bit today by making a mix CD entitled “Dark(ish) Romance”, I thought I’d share the track listing and a few choice lyrics from the song… why? Why not. It gave me something to post and shares a little snippet of my music tastes.

01- Iona - (Dunes) - I will give my love an apple

“I will give my love an apple without e’er a core,
I will give my love a house without e’er a door,
I will give my love a palace wherein he may be,
And he may unlock it without any key.”

02- Morphine - (The Best Of Morphine) - You Look Like Rain

“Your mind and your experience call to me
You have lived and your intelligence is sexy
I want to know what you got to say
I can tell you taste like the sky cause you look like rain”

03- Slipknot - (Vol. 3: The Subliminal Verses) - Vermilion Pt. 2

“She is everything to me,
The unrequited dream,
A song that no one sings,
The unattainable,
She’s a myth that I have to believe in,
All A need to make it real - is one more reason,”

04- System Of A Down - (Hypnotize) - Lonely Day

“Such a lonely day
Shouldn’t exist
It’s a day that I’ll never miss
Such a lonely day
And its mine
The most loneliest day of my life”

05- 77’s - (Drowning With Land in Sight) - Alone Together

“We’re alone now
Just like always
And like always
I’m feeling so lonely
Alone with you”

06- Marilyn Manson - (Mechanical Animals) - The Speed Of Pain

“I wish I could sleep
but I can’t lay on my back
because there’s a knife
for everyday that I’ve known you”

07- Rammstein - (Rosenrot) - Stirb nicht vor mir

“I don’t know who you are
I know that you exist (Stirb nicht)
Sometimes love seems so far (Ich warte hier)
Your love I can’t dismiss”

08- Blindside - (Silence) - Silence

“So I think I’ll stay
Caught up in a silent prayer
‘Cause I believe in silence
Our hearts speak the same word
So why don’t we just walk along
The shoreline with our silent song”

09- King’s X - (Dogman) - Flies and Blue Skies

“There’s a fog in my mind
and there’s nothing not far behind
there is wrong there is right
there is peace and there’s a fight “

10- Deep Purple - (30 - Very Best Of) - When A Blind Man Cries

“Had a friend once in a room, had a good time but it ended much too soon.
In a cold month in that room we found a reason for the things we had to do.
I’m a blind man, I’m a blind man, now my room is cold.
When a blind man cries, Lord, you know he feels it from his soul.”

11- Johnny Cash - (American IV) - Hurt

“I wear this crown of thorns, upon my liar’s chair.
Full of broken thoughts, I cannot repair.
Beneath the stains of time, the feelings disappear.
You are someone else. I am still right here.”

12- Demon Hunter - (Triptych [Special Edition]) - My Throat Is An Open Grave (Acoustic)

“This isn’t me I used to say
All the love was so gone
It feels good to be alive
I’ve been dead for so long”

13- Nancy Sinatra - (Kill Bill (Vol. 1)) - Bang Bang

“Bang bang, he shot me down
Bang bang, I hit the ground
Bang bang, that awful sound
Bang bang, my baby shot me down”

14- Type O Negative - (The Least Worst Of) - Everyone I Love Is Dead

“Life’s a game I cannot win,
both good and bad - must surely end
the mirrors - always tell the truth
I love myself for hating you”

15- Aggro1 - Korn vs Kansas

“Beating me down, beating me, beating me down,
Down, into the ground, screaming so sound,
Beating me, beating me, down, down
Into the ground”

16- Radiohead - (Amnesiac) - Pyramid Song

“All the things I used to see
All my lovers were there with me
All my past and futures
And we all went to heaven in a little row boat
There was nothing to fear and nothing to doubt”

17- Howard Shore - (LotR - The Two Towers) - Gollum’s Song

“These tears we cry
Are falling rain
For all the lies
You told us
The hurt, the blame!”

18- Bullet for My Valentine - (The Poison) - All These Things I Hate

“Once more you tell those lies to me
Why can’t you just be straight up with honesty?
When you say those things in my ear
Why do you always tell me what you wanna hear?”

… yeah… not exactly driving music, well, that being said I found myself singing along to them all and it did keep me awake on the journey back home at 1am, even if it did, well, I’ll say no more.
