It has been quite some time since my last blog, and I can honestly say I am not expecting readership at this point. However, I felt like writing one just for the practice of it and to get a few things off my mind. I have never believed in blogging about one's feelings, and I don't like wearing my heart on my sleeve or trying to evoke sympathy. I have, however, found that when something bad happens, I turn to music, and I felt like sharing some of my favorite lines I use when getting over something heart-wrenching. Some lines are uplifting, some are bitter. Some will make you smile, some will confuse you, or even flat-out appall you. These lines are real, though, and each tell a story. Weaved together, they portray a story that has become mine. So, for all your viewing pleasure, here are my top 20 jam out song lines for when you are angry, depressed, confused or just flat out heart broken (and not necessarily from a romantic interest, these apply to any situation).
1. You gotta swim, don't let yourself sink. Just follow the horizon, I promise you it's not as far as you think. - Jack's Mannequin, "Swim"
2. I'm a wishful thinker with the worst intentions, this will be the last chance you get to drop my name. - Taking Back Sunday "You're So Last Summer"
3. It's coming down to nothing more than apathy: I'd rather run the other way than stay and see the smoke and who's still standing when it clear. - The Fray "Cable Car"
4. The truth is you could slit my throat, and with my one last gasping breath I'd apologize for bleeding on your shirt. -Taking Back Sunday "You're So Last Summer" (My personal favorite song line)
5. How many times can I break til I shatter? Over the line, can't define what I'm after...I always turn the car around. -O.A.R. "Shattered"
6. I'm alive, I don't need a witness, to know that I survived, I'm not looking for forgiveness. I just need light, I need light in the dark as I search for the resolution. -Jack's Mannequin "The Resolution"
7. All I ever learned from love was how to shoot somebody who outdrew ya. -Kate Voegel, "Hallelujah"
8. With every word you say, say something sweet- 'cuz all I taste is blood between my teeth. -Jack's Mannequin "I'm Ready"
9. Now your games are finally playing you- and I can play them too. -Low vs. Diamond "Killer B"
10. Give me everything you've got now, I don't feel a single thing. -Jimmy Eat World "Night Drive"
11. I found a tidal wave begging to tear down the dawn. Memories like bullets, they fire at me from a gun, a crack in the armor. I swim for brighter days, despite the absence of sun, choking on saltwater. I'm not giving in... I swim. -Jack's Mannequin "Swim"
12. I never knew that everything was falling through- that everyone I knew was waiting on a cue to turn and run when all I needed was the truth. -The Fray "Cable Car"
13. Forget everything you think you know about me- this isn't high school. -Brand New "Last chance to lose your keys"
14. I can still be ruthless, if you'd let me. -Something Corporate- "Ruthless"
15. Well I'm always coming down from the night before where I've left you. -Jack's Mannequin "What gets you off"
16. Big hearts are for breakin' -Jack's Mannequin "American Love"
17. All that I feel is the realness I'm fakin' - O.A.R. "Shattered"
18. So call it quits, or get a grip. -Brand New "The Boy who blocked his own shot"
19. What I mean to say is that it's all gone to nothin with you. Nelo "All gone to nothing"
20. If I'm just bad news, then you're a liar. -Taking Back Sunday "You're So Last Summer"
