Insanity laughs under pressure we’re breaking

Queen - Under Pressure

A gift shop at the gun range, a mass shooting at the mall

Bo Burnham - That Funny Feeling

(Honestly every line in that song is golden)

Not another motherfucking politician, doing nothing but something for his own ambition… The Power of Equality - The Red Hot Chili Peppers

You do it to yourself, you do And that’s what really hurts Is that you do it to yourself, just you You and no one else You do it to yourself You do it to yourself

~ Radiohead, Just

Red Dirt Girl, all of it really but this always gets me:

She loved her brother I remember back when

He was fixin’ up a '49 Indian

He told her, "Little sister, gonna ride the wind

Up around the moon and back again"

He never got farther than Vietnam

I was standin’ there with her

When the telegram come for Lillian

Fontaines DC song A Hero’s Death is probably the most uplifting punk song in existence, I love it.

Chorus:

Life ain’t always empty.
Life ain’t always empty.
Life ain’t always empty.
Life ain’t always empty.
Life ain’t always empty.
Life ain’t always empty.

Don’t get stuck in the past.
Say your favourite things at mass.
Tell your mother that you love her.
And go out of your way for others.
Sit beneath a light that suits ya.
And look forward to a brighter future.

(Chorus)

Sink as far down as you can be pulled up.
Happiness really ain’t all about luck.
Let your demeanour be your deep down self.
And don’t sacrifice your life for your health.
When you speak, speak sincere.
And believe me friend, everyone will hear.

(Chorus)

Bring your own two cents.
Never borrow them from someone else.
Buy yourself a flower every hundredth hour.
Throw your hair down from your lonely tower.
And if, and if.
You find yourself in the family way.
Give the kid more than what you got in your day.

(Chorus)

Never let a clock tell you what you got time for.
It only goes around, goes around, goes around.
Take your family name for your own great sins.
'Cause each day is where it all begins.
And don’t give up too quick.
You only get one line, you better make it stick.
If we give ourselves to every breath.
Then we’re all in the running for a hero’s death.

Who knows what this is from? “I know she a ho so I mo go, expose the funky bitch cause she thinks she’s sooooo fisticated”.

Often I am upset

That I cannot fall in love but I guess

This avoids the stress of falling out of it

Cavetown - Home

Let the waters kiss and transmutate these leaden grudges into gold.

I believe in this and it’s been tested by research, He who fucks nuns will later join the church.

so practically this whole song (sorta half and really half of a half. its complicated) from jethro tull just becomes more and more relevant every year as the dystopia increases:

There’s the stillness of death on a deathly unliving sea
And the motor car magical world long since ceased to be
When the Eve-bitten apple returned to destroy the tree

Incestuous ancestry’s charabanc ride
Spawning new millions throws the world on its side
Supporting their far-flung illusion, the national curse
And those with no sandwiches please get off the bus

The excrement bubbles
The century’s slime decays
And the brainwashing government lackeys
Would have us say
It’s under control and we’ll soon be on our way
To a grand year for babies and quiz panel games
Of the hot hungry millions you’ll be sure to remain

The natural resources are dwindling and no one grows old
And those with no homes to go to, please dig yourself holes

Kill him. Fucking kill him. Kill him already kill him. Kill him already. Kill him already. Kill him. JUST FUCKING KILL HIM. FUCKING KILL HIM.

Shellac - Prayer to god

I sing this almost daily when I read the news.

Fuck you all, fuck everyone and everything, you don’t know me and you wouldn’t want to anyway forced into the end, I fucked myself, I fucked myself again again, I am nothing, again, fuck everything

Rattlesnake Rattlesnake Rattlesnake Rattles me

And if you choose not to decide you still have made a choice

~ Rush- Freewill

That line helped kick my ass into gear and actually start living the life I wanted instead of sitting paralyzed by my fears

Love is watching someone die

~ Death Cab for Cutie - What Sarah Said

That song just kinda broke me after watching my mom slowly die of cancer

My time is a piece of wax Falling on a termite Who’s choking on the splinters

Freedom’s just another word for nothing left to lose.

~Kris Kristofferson, Me and Bobby McGee

The people who love me still ask me, “When are you coming back to town?” I answer, “Quite frankly, when they stop building roads, And all God needs is gravity to hold me down.”

~Alison Kraus, “Gravity”

Four hundred years later, I learned about my roots, And how they traded in their white sheets for badges and blue suits

~Onyx, “Getto Mentalitee”

Is your mother worried? Would you like us to assign someone to worry your mother?

~Chaise Longue by Wet Leg

You want me to love you in moderation Do I look moderate to you?

~Florence + The Machine, “Moderation”

And the salt in my wounds Isn’t burning anymore than it used to. It’s not that I don’t feel the pain It’s just I’m not afraid of hurting anymore.

~Paramore, “Last Hope”

the shit hasn’t even begun to hit the fan.

~Incubus, from “Consequence”

I have a tendency to wear my mind on my sleeve. I have a history of losing my shirt.

Molly Nilsson: I Hope You Die

I hope you die
by my side
the two of us at the exact same time
I hope we die
long from now
the two of us at the exact same time
