PLAYLIST
the girl on fire
arrow - tegan and sara
would you take a straight and narrow, critical look at me? would you tell me tough-love style, put judicial weight on me. i feel the breeze, your feathers of an arrow. out in the yard, feathers of an arrow. i take my aim so you feel me coming close. i take my aim so you feel me coming close.
she's a rebel - green day
she's a rebel, she's a saint. she's the salt of the earth and she's dangerous. she's a rebel, vigilante. missing link on the brink of destruction. she's the symbol of the resistance and she's holding my heart like a hand grenade. is she dreaming what i'm thinking? is she the mother of all bombs, gonna detonate. she sings the revolution, the dawning of our lives. she brings this liberation that i just can't define. nothing comes to mind. she's a rebel, she's a rebel and she's dangerous.
let the flames begin - paramore
what a shame we all became such fragile broken things. a memory remains, just a tiny spark. i'd give all my oxygen to let the flames begin. to let the flames begin, oh glory! this is how we'll dance when, when they try to take us down. this is what will be, oh glory. sometimes weaknesses are strength, and i'll die searching for it. can't let myself regret such selfishness. my pain and all the trouble caused, no matter how long. i believe that there's hope buried beneath it all. hiding beneath it all. growing beneath it all. this is how we'll stand when, when they burn our houses down. this is what will be oh glory. reaching as i sink down into light.
red flag - billy talent
cast off the crutch that kills the pain. the red flag waving never meant the same. the kids of tomorrow don't need today when they live in the sins of yesterday. well i've never seen us act like this. our only hope is in the minds of kids. and we'll show them a thing or two. our only weapons are the guns of youth. it's only time before they tighten the noose. and then the hunt will be on for you. we don't need them. like the smallest bee cracks a sting. like a pawn checkmates a king. we'll attack at the crack of dawn. build a ladder if there's a wall. don't be afraid to slip and fall. speak for yourself or they'll speak for you. like a fire don't need water. like a jury needs a liar. like a riot don't need order. like a mad man needs a martyr. we don't need them.
stadium love - metric
wanna make a bet. we'll be neck and neck. taking off the gloves. spider vs bat. tiger vs rat. rabbit vs dove. every living thing pushed into the ring. fight it out to wow the crowd. guess you thought you could just watch. no one's getting out without stadium love. wanna make a trade. cougar for a snake. wanna fall in love?
believe - the bravery
the faces all around me, they don't smile they just crack. waiting for our ship to come but our ship's not coming back. we do our time like pennies in a jar, what are we saving for? there's a smell of stale fear and it's reeking from our skin. the drinking never stops because the drinks absolve our sins. we sit and grow our roots into the floor, but what are we waiting for? so give me something to believe, cause i am living just to breathe. and i need something more to keep on breathing for. so give me something to believe. something's always coming you can hear it in the ground. it swells into the air with the rising, rising sound. and never comes but shakes the boards and rattles all the doors - what are we waiting for? hiding from some beast, but the beast was always there. watching without eyes because the beast is just my fear. that i'm just nothing, and that's just what i've become. what are we waiting for? it's already done.
the archer's bows are broken - brand new
there's an ember in the heart of the kiln and it's burning hot with love. burning out my center 'til there's nothing but dust. what did you learn tonight? you're shouting so loud you barely enjoyed this broken thing. you're a voice that never sings, is what i say. you were freezing over hell. you were bringing on the end you do so well. you can only blame yourself.
how far we've come - matchbox twenty
waking up at the start of the end of the world. but it's feeling just like every morning before. now i wonder what my life is gonna mean if it's gone. the cars are moving like a half a mile an hour and i started staring at the passengers waving goodbye. can you tell me what was ever really special about me all this time. but i believe the world is burning to the ground. oh well, i guess we're gonna find out. let's see how far we've come. let's see how far we've come. i believe it all is coming to an end. oh well, i guess, we're gonna pretend. let's see how far we've come. i think you turn, turn the clock but i don't really know. and i can't remember caring for an hour or so. started crying but i couldn't stop myself. started running but there's nowhere to run to. i sat down on the street, took a look at myself. said, 'where you going man, you know the world is headed for hell?' say your goodbyes if you got someone to say goodbye to. well it's gone, gone baby it's all gone. there's no one on the corner and there's no one at home. well it's cool, cool, it was just all cool. now it's over for me, and it's over for you.
disarray - lifehouse
well i've faced my demons, wrestling these angels to the ground and all that i could find was a thin line between all the saints and villains, it was crossed in my own mind. some day i'm gonna find it, wish i knew what i was looking for inside the disarray. struggling between the facts and fiction i'm alone, but i'm alive. everyone around me is trying to make a statement, then there's me. i'm just trying to survive. some day i'm gonna find it, wish i knew what i was looking for inside the disarray.
light up the sky - yellowcard
you're making a choice to live like this. in all of the noise i am silence. i already know how it ends tonight, you run in the dark in a firefight. and i would explode just to save your life, yeah i would explode. let me light up the sky, light it up for you. let me tell you why i would die for you. i can't find a wall to pin this too. they're all coming down since i met you. let me light up the sky just for you tonight, let me help you fly 'cause you won't have time. to cover your eyes and get your disguise - they won't ask you why, they'll just watch you die.
worth dying for - rise against
set me off like dynamite strapped tied around my waist. we are the ones in competition but claim this ain't no race. take a breath and explode like bullets tearing through the wind. cut me up with a razor blade and try to separate the skin now and the white flames are burning flags we found a world worth dying for. we've been battered so hard that we don't feel anymore. so take me from the world save me, what if we all die young? send me off on the morning breeze so far away from here. feel me rise in the strength i've found inside the warm embracing air i'm moving slow. like a glacier melting watch me dissipate. i searched for love in an empty world but all i found was hate.
bleed it out - linkin park
here we go for the hundredth time, hand grenade pins in every line. throw them up and let something shine, going out of my fucking mind. filthy mouth, no excuse, find a new place to hang this noose. string me up from atop these roofs. knot it tight so i won't get loose. truth is you can stop and stare, run myself out and no one cares. dug the trench out and lay down there with a shovel up that'll reach somewhere. yeah, someone pour it in. make it a dirt dance floor again. say your prayers and stomp it out when they bring that chorus in. i bleed it out, digging deeper just to throw it away. mama help me, i've been cursed. death is rolling in every verse. candy paint on his brand new hearse. can't contain him he knows he works. fuck this hurts, i won't lie - it doesn't matter how hard i try. half the words don't mean a thing and i know that i won't be satisfied. so why try ignoring him? make it a dirt dance floor again. say your prayers and stomp it out when they bring that chorus in.
heretics - andrew bird
born host to a tongue to sing a song about it. held our breath for too long 'til we're half sick about it. tell us what we did wrong so you can blame us for it. how about some credit where credit is due, for the damage that we've done? we've wrought upon ourselves and others with a slow and vicious gun. although pratfalls can be fun, encores can be fatal - and then I hear you say: thank god it's fatal, thank god it's fatal.
raise your weapon - deadmau5
ripping my heart was so easy, so easy. launch your assault now, take it easy. raise your weapon, raise your weapon. one word and it's over. love your ego, you won't feel a thing. always number one, the pen with a bent wrist crooked kind. sign away our peace for your war.
how does it feel now to watch it burn, and burn, and burn?
hurricane - 30 seconds to mars
tell me, would you kill to save a life? tell me, would you kill to prove you're right? crash, crash burn - let it all burn. this hurricane's chasing us all underground. no matter how many deaths that i die i will never forget. no matter how many lives that i live i will never regret. there's a fire inside this heart and a riot about to explode into flames.
