LIGHTS

Recently I have become a new fan of LIGHTS when her album "Listening" just came out yesterday. The electro-pop sounds of her music definitely resonate sensations that are equal parts fantastical, epic, beautiful, and emotional. Check her out at her website "I Am Lights" because she is super spectacular and out of this world. I'm upset I couldn't see her in concert at the Sonar on Saturday :( but at least I was able to get her new music. :D

I love the lyrics to a lot of her songs, and I seem to connect with a lot of them. These are parts of some lyrics ♥...

Saviour
The night is deafening when the silence is listening
And I'm down on my knees, and I know that something is missing
Because the back of my mind is holding things I'm relying in
But I choose to ignore it because I'm always denying them

I'm a bit of a manic when it's not as I plan it
'Cause I start losing my head and then I get up in a panic
Remember when we were kids and always knew when to quit it
Are we denying a crisis or are we scared of admitting it?

It won't ever change if you want it to stay the same
I really hate it but I know it's hard to choose if you're chained
And when it's all you control cause you've got nothing else to hold
You're getting tighter and tighter, it's getting harder to let it go

I don't want to know

I just want to run to you
And break off the chains, and throw them away
I just want to be so much
And shake off the dust that turned me to rust
Sooner than later, I'll need a saviour
I'll need a saviour

Stand me up and maybe I won't be so small
Free my hands and feet and maybe I won't always fall
Save me

Second Go
How many times will the clock go round
How many times can my hands hit the ground
How many coffins before there's a crown
How far will I fall 'til the alarm sounds

How come you love me when I am ugly
Guess I can only hope

Give me a second go,
Don't let me go alone
You saw me at the worst,
You caught me falling first
All I wanted to know,
Give me a second go

No matter the weather there's never a break
Conquer a ladder then slip on a snake
Cried 'til my river turned into a lake
And I'm wondering now before it's too late

One to five I'm half alive, six to nine I'm out of line
Ten to twelve I'm not myself, by the millionth time...
I cry.

The Listening
Please excuse me, I'm not thinking clear
it must just be stress
I most likely shouldn't be here,
I'm such a mess

I never really ever know what to say
when all of my emotions get in the way
I'm just trying to get us on the same page
I always get a fight in it afterwards
when all of my precautions are said and heard
How come I can never get to the right words?
I need to convey
Wish I could explain
the things that I have to work out
I don't feel right
What has come over me, I'm about
to lose my mind

Can't I let the trees do the talking?
Can't I let the ground do the walking?
Can't I let the sky fill what's missing?
And can't I let my mouth do the listening?
