MEANT TO LIVE - SWITCHFOOT
Fumbling his confidence
And wondering why the world has passed him by
Hoping that he's bent for more than arguments
And failed attempts to fly, fly
Dreaming about Providence
And whether mice or men have second tries
Maybe we've been livin with our eyes half open
Maybe we're bent and broken, broken
REWRITE - ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION
Wanting to erase the distorted afterimage is
Because I'll see my limit over there
In the window of the excessively self-conscious me
There are no dates in last year's calendar
Erase and rewrite
The pointless ultra-fantasy
The unforgettable sense of being
Revive
Rewrite
Even meaningless imagination is the driving force that creates you
Give it your whole body and soul
THE PERFECT ENDING - STRAY LIGHT RUN
Taken in context,
It's not a bad thing,
But when you start to pick it apart,
It gets so depressed,
It's that sort of thing,
That makes you think too much,
It's that sort of thing,
Makes you lose your objectivity,
So if you made it,
Just be glad that you did and stay there,
If you ever feel loved or needed,
Remember that you're one of the lucky ones
LOST HEAVEN - L'ARC EN CIEL
Woah! Bringing things together;
Holding a dream;
Heading into boundless paradise.
I can't even get back what I lost;
Running through a far-off path.
We never knew to doubt a single thing, did we?
We'll say goodbye, lost heaven.
How we longed for heaven.
We're letting go of something we never had.
Time goes so fast, heaven is lost.
ORDINARY WORLD - DURAN DURAN
Came in from a rainy Thursday
On the avenue
Thought I heard you talking softly
I turned on the lights, the TV
And the radio
Still I can't escape the ghost of you
What has happened to it all?
Crazy, some are saying
Where is the life that I recognize?
Gone away
27 - FALL OUT BOY
Milligrams in my head
Burning tobacco in my wind
chasing the direction
Chasing the direction you went
You're a bottled star
The planets align
You're just like Mars
You shine in the sky
You shine in the sky
Are all the good times getting gone?
They come and go and go and come and go (come and go and come and go)
Oh yeah I've got a lot of friends who are stars
But some are just black holes
EXISTENTIALISM ON PROM NIGHT - STRAY LIGHT RUN
When the sun came up,
We were sleeping in,
Sunk inside our blankets,
Sprawled across the bed,
And we were dreaming,
There are moments when,
When I know it and
The world revolves around us,
And we're keeping it,
Keep it all going,
This delicate balance,
Vulnerable all knowing
LEAVE OUT ALL THE REST - LINKIN PARK
Don't be afraid
I've taken my beating
I've shared what I've made
I'm strong on the surface
Not all the way through
I've never been perfect
But neither have you
So if you're asking me
I want you to know
When my time comes
Forget the wrong that I've done
Help me leave behind some
Reasons to be missed
Don't resent me
And when you're feeling empty
Keep me in your memory
Leave out all the rest
ROOFTOPS - LOSTPROPHETS
When our time is up
When our lives are done
Will we say we've had our fun?
Will we make a mark this time?
Will we always say we tried?
All the love I've met
I have no regrets
If it all ends now, I'm set
WISH YOU WERE HERE - PINK FLOYD
So, so you think you can tell Heaven from Hell,
Blue skies from pain.
Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?
And did they get you to trade your heroes for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
And did you exchange a walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage?
How I wish, how I wish you were here.
GLYRCERINE - BUSH
Must be your skin I'm sinking in
Must be for real 'cause now I can feel
And I didn't mind
It's not my kind
Not my time to wonder why
Everything's gone white
And everything's gray
Now you're here,
Now you're away
I don't want this
Remember that
I'll never forget where you're at
Don't let the days go by
STARS AND BOULEVARDS - AUGUSTANA
Oh...seems like I'm always on my own,
Seems like I'm never coming home
Seems like I'm always on my own...
All the stars and boulevards aren't close enough for you...
GREEK SONG - RUFAS WAINWRIGHT
You who were born with the sun above your shoulders
You turn me on, you turn me on
You have to know
You who were born where the sun she keeps her distance
You turn me on, you turn me on
But so does she
KELAS (LET'S DANCE) - CONQUEROR OF SHAMBALLA OST
HUM HALLELUJAH - FALL OUT BOY
My words are my faith, to hell with our good name.
A remix of your guts-your insides X-rayed
And one day we'll get nostalgic for disaster
we're a bull, your ears are just a china shop
I love you in the same way, there's a chapel in a hospital
One foot in your bedroom and one foot out the door
Sometimes we take chances, sometimes we take pills.
I could write it better than you ever felt it.
LOOK AFTER YOU - THE FRAY
There now, steady love, so few come and don't go
Will you, won't you be the one I always know?
When I'm losing my control, the city spins around
You're the only one who knows, you slow it down
It's always have and never hold
You've begun to feel like home
What's mine is yours to leave or take
What's mine is yours to make your own
CHASE THIS LIGHT - JIMMY EAT WORLD
My just so, my last call,
My life is yours in your gifted hands.
Confetti rainfall in a quiet street.
These things I've found are special now,
The knot is in my reach,
Because tonight, the world turned in me.
Because right now, I don't dare to breathe.
Oh, babe, I know, it's alive and somewhere for us to find,
Tonight, oh chase this light with me.
GOLDEN - FALL OUT BOY
How cruel is the golden rule?
When the lives we lived are only golden-plated
And I knew that the lights of the city were too heavy for me
Though I carried karats for everyone to see
And I saw God cry in the reflection of my enemies
And all the lovers with no time for me
And all of the mothers raise their babies
To stay away from me
VINDICATED - DASHBOARD CONFESSIONAL
I am vindicated
I am selfish
I am wrong
I am right
I swear I'm right
I swear I knew it all along
And I am flawed
But I am cleaning up so well
I am seeing in me now the things you swore you saw yourself
DIZZY - JIMMY EAT WORLD
All talk and not a lot to think, we were living dreams
And shame never crept close to our naked feet
If there's something left to lose,
Then don't let me wear out my shoes
I'm still walking.
I tried, but it rang and rang, I called all night
On a payphone, remember those from another life?
If everything I meant to you,
You can lick and seal then fold in two
Then I've been so blind.
IRIS - GOO GOO DOLLS
And I'd give up forever to touch you
'Cause I know that you feel me, somehow
You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be
And I don't want to go home right now
And all I can taste is this moment
And all I can breathe is your life
'Cause sooner or later it's over
I just don't want to miss you tonight
MORE THAN THIS - VANESSA CARLTON
Want so much in this life,
There's so much to be
We sail through our youth so impatiently
Until we see
That the years move along
And soldiers and heroes come home
And they carry a song,
Don't live in forgotten times
May this always remind you
Of the sea under the skies blue looking glass
Let's make this our story, let's live in the glory
Time, it fades away,
Precious as a song
Cause someday we'll be gone
BRATJA (BROTHERS) - FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST OST
How can I repay you, brother mine?
How can I expect you to forgive?
Clinging to the past, I shed our blood
And shattered your chance to live
And how can I make amends
For all that I took from you?
I led you with hopeless dreams
My brother, I was a fool
Don't cry for the past now, brother mine
Neither you nor I are free of blame
Nothing can erase the things we did
For the path we took was the same
How could I expect to call you wrong?
How could you be blamed for what we've done?
Both of us were fools in our desires
As we flew too close to the sun
REQUIEM - CONQEROR OF SHAMBALLA OST
BREATHE ME - SIA
Ouch I have lost myself again
Lost myself and I am nowhere to be found,
Yeah I think that I might break
I've lost myself again and I feel unsafe
Be my friend
Hold me, wrap me up
Unfold me
I am small
I'm needy
Warm me up
And breathe me
CHASING CARS - SNOW PATROL
I don't quite know
How to say
How I feel
Those three words
Are said too much
They're not enough
If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?
BROTHERS ON A HOTEL BED - DEATHCAB FOR CUTIE
You may tire of me
As our December sun is setting
Because I'm not who I used to be
No longer easy on the eyes
But these wrinkles masterfully disguise
The youthful boy below
Who turned your way and saw
Something he was not looking for: both a beginning and an end
But now he lives inside
Someone he does not recognize
When he catches his reflection on accident
And I have learned
That even landlocked lovers yearn
For the sea like navy men
Cause now we say goodnight
From our own separate sides
Like brothers on a hotel bed
SOUL MEETS BODY - DEATHCAB FOR CUTIE
And I do believe it’s true
That there are roads left in both of our shoes
But if the silence takes you
Then I hope it takes me too
So brown eyes I hold you near
Cause you’re the only song I want to hear
A melody softly soaring through my atmosphere
Where soul meets body...
99 LUFTBALLONS - NENA
99 Jahre Krieg
Ließen keinen Platz für Sieger
Kriegsminister gibt's nicht mehr
Und auch keine Düsenflieger
Heute zieh' ich meine Runden
Seh' die Welt in Trümmern liegen
Hab' 'nen Luftballon gefunden
Denk' an dich und lass' ihn fliegen
THE MASTERPLAN - OASIS
I'm not saying right is wrong
It's up to us to make
The best of all things that come our way
And all the things that came have past
The answer's in the looking glass
There's four and twenty million doors
Down life's endless corridor
Say it loud and sing it proud
And they...
Will dance if they want to dance
Please brother take a chance
You know they're gonna go
Which way they wanna go
All we know is that we don't know
What is gonna be
Please brother let it be
Life on the other hand won't let you understand
Why we're all part of the masterplan
WONDERWALL - OASIS
Backbeat the word was on the street
That the fire in your heart is out
I'm sure you've heard it all before
But you never really had a doubt
I don't believe that anybody feels
The way I do about you now
And all the roads we have to walk are winding
And all the lights that lead us there are blinding
There are many things that I would
Like to say to you
I don't know how
TOBIRA NO MUKOU E - YELLOW GENERATION; COVER BY PAKU ROMI
As if to confirm something, you tightly clench your right hand
If the rules are annoying you, just go ahead and break them
If you're thinking of resting your ailing legs
Move just one more step forward from here, instead
The two of us are searching, even now
This accelerated speed can never go back
Bind your strength and resolution together
If we don't continue to run, there is no future
So move forward, beyond the door
RUNNING UP THAT HILL - PLACEBO
It doesn't hurt me.
You wanna feel how it feels?
You wanna know, know that it doesn't hurt me?
You wanna hear about the deal I'm making?
You be running up that hill
You and me be running up that hill
And if I only could,
Make a deal with God,
And get him to swap our places,
Be running up that road,
Be running up that hill,
Be running up that building.
If I only could, oh...
LOSING MY RELIGION - R.E.M.
I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try
Every whisper
Of every waking hour
I'm choosing my confessions
Trying to keep an eye on you
Like a hurt, lost and blinded fool, fool
Oh no, I've said too much
I set it up
I'M COMING HOME (ARION DUBSTEP REMIX) - SKYLAR GREY
I'm coming home
I'm coming home
Tell the world I'm coming home
Let the rain wash away all the pain of yesterday
I know my kingdom awaits and they've forgiven my mistakes
I'm coming home, I'm coming home
Tell the world that I'm coming
THROUGH THE GLASS - STONE SOUR
How do you feel? That is the question
But I forget.. you don't expect an easy answer
When something like a soul becomes
Initialized and folded up like paper dolls and little notes
You can't expect a bit of hope
So while you're outside looking in
Describing what you see
Remember what you're staring at is me
Cause I'm looking at you through the glass...
Don't know how much time has passed
All I know is that it feels like forever
When no one ever tells you that forever
Feels like home, sitting all alone inside your head
A SLOW DESCENT - STRAY LIGHT RUN
I'm tired.
Cynical and broken, but wiser.
Heavy with a sense of resentment,
But I used to be so much different,
I used to have so much faith
When I started.
You knew that I always meant it.
I knew I could make a difference,
I struggled to be heard
And then finally, one day people started listening.
And I knew it
But as soon as it began it was ruined.
STARS - SWITCHFOOT
Maybe I've been the problem,
Maybe I'm the one to blame
But even when I turn it off and blame myself,
The outcome feels the same
I've been thinking maybe I've been partly cloudy,
Maybe I'm the chance of rain
Maybe I'm overcast,
And maybe all my lucks washed down the drain.
I've been thinking 'bout everyone, everyone you look so lonely...
But when I look at the stars,
When I look at the stars,
When I look at the stars I see someone else
BEAUTIFUL - THORNELY
Wake up, medicate, again
Ever after is a friend
But you and I we get so high
We never quite came down
Ever after again
What could be more beautiful
Than you and I
Falling from grace
All the things we'll never know
So beautiful
They're slipping away
A THOUSAND MILES - VANESSA CARLTON
It's always times like these
When I think of you
And I wonder
If you ever
Think of me
'Cause everything's so wrong
And I don't belong
Living in your
Precious memories
'Cause I need you
And I miss you
And now I wonder....
NOTE: Obviously, none of these are any particular order. Some of them have meaning, some are from the actual FMA soundtracks, and some just have a feeling behind them that I feel fits either Ed, Al, or both of them together.
