Yep, it’s #MusicMonday and as fast as this weekend went by I was totally *not* prepared for today to come. I need at least another day of weekend to get my brain on track, but, alas, my day job disagrees with my ideas. Fortunately, I’ve got a really cool song called “The Domino Effect” by Elle Vee for you today. The song actually sounds very sedate, and her voice is beautiful, (it livens up at the end), but what really captured me were the lyrics and the very very very last line in her sweet voice where all the instrumental drops away. I just LOVE it, and I hope you guys do too. Enjoy!
Lyrics
Everything’s easy,
easier said than done.
Pulling a trigger’s different than holding guns.
Everyone’s pretty,
hiding an ugly truth.
Deception is all around,
watch it, use caution now.
But you’re human, right?
And temptation’s caught your eyes.
The holy water is on fire, like your soul…
We are like dominos.
Do you feel guilty?
What are your prospects now?
Are you even willing to try and figure out,
what you don’t know yet?
Tell me what life’s about!
Perfection does not exist,
look at the distortion.
But we’re human, right?
And temptation’s caught our eyes.
The holy water is on fire, like our souls…
We are like dominos.
Dominos… oh, oh, oh… [repeat 5x]
Dominos… we fall like dominos…
Oh, oh, oh…
We’re human, right?
And temptation’s caught our eyes.
The holy water is on fire, like our souls…
We are like dominos.
We fall like dominos.
Yeah, holy water is on fire,
like our souls…
We fall like dominos.
We’re just like dominos.
We all fall.
It’s #MusicMonday and for us in the USA it’s after a holiday weekend, which means that we’re all sluggish and tired and not really interested in being at work. That’s why ‘Animal’ from Baby Eskimo is a great song to listen to because it has a fun, energetic beat and I love the way she sings the lyrics throughout. I couldn’t find the lyrics anywhere so I did my best to transcribe. Unfortunately no video for this one, but you can still scroll down and listen to the song while you read along with the lyrics. Don’t forget, ‘Destruction’ comes out this week and will be $2.99 for release week ONLY! So snag a copy as soon as it’s live!
Lyrics
Oh-e, oh, oh, oh, let’s play a game. I am the predator, I’m gonna make you my prey. Oh-e, oh, oh, I’m coming straight for your heart. When I get next to you, I’m gonna tear you apart.
Take it off, take it off, take it off now. Oh… God bless the savage. Oh… I wanna see what happens.
I’m unruly, no you can’t tame me. Don’t you know that I’m on the prowl? I know what I want, and I don’t play shy, so baby boy I’ma hunt you down.
Get wild, get rough, get loud, baby take me higher. I’m an animal, I’m going in for the kill. So don’t stop, go hard, get hot, let’s start a fire. Oh-e, I’m an animal, I’m going in for the kill.
Oh-e, oh, oh, oh, let’s misbehave. I am a minotaur, I’m gonna make you my maze. Oh-e, oh, oh, I wanna hear you growl. (I wanna hear you growl) Unleash the beast in you, we were born to be wild.
Turn it up, turn it up, turn it up now. Oh… do you feel what I do? Oh… my body’s saying I want you.
The night is young and I’m high off you, so come alive, baby, turn me on. We’re so primal and barbaric, so baby boy let me hear you roar. Get wild, get rough, get loud, baby take me higher. I’m an animal, I’m going in for the kill. So don’t stop, go hard, get hot, let’s start a fire. Oh-e, I’m an animal, I’m going in for the kill.
Today’s #MusicMonday is awesome. It’s a song called ‘Horns’ by Bryce Fox and I’d never heard him before he appeared on my Discover Weekly playlist on Spotify, but I immediately fell in love with this song and listened to it over and over and over. Not only are the lyrics amazing, and the song fucking phenomenal, but Bryce Fox really spoiled us with a bad ass music video as well. I promise, lovelies, you’re going to love this one.
Lyrics
Hey! In her heart there’s a hole. There’s a black mark on her soul. In her hands is my heart, and she won’t let go ’till it’s scarred.
Ha! Tried to breathe, but I can’t, ’cause the air she feeds me is damned. Got a touch like a thorn, ’cause the girl she’s hiding horns.
She got blood cold as ice, and a heart made of stone. But she keeps me alive, she’s the beast in my bones. She gets everything she wants, when she gets me alone… like it’s nothing. She got two little horns and they get me a little bit.
Oh, oh, oh… She’s the fire in the sin, and I burn breathing her in. Now it’s love suicide, and I sell my soul for the high. Truth be told I don’t mind, ’cause her hand’s my paradise. She can crush every hope, got her heels stomping down my throat.
She got blood cold as ice,
and a heart made of stone.
But she keeps me alive,
she’s the beast in my bones.
She gets everything she wants,
when she gets me alone…
like it’s nothing.
She got two little horns
and they get me a little bit.
Damn, mmm, oh, oh…
She got horns like a devil pointed at me, and there’s nowhere to runfrom the fire she breathes! She got horns like a devil pointed at me,
and there’s nowhere to run from the fire she breathes! She got horns like a devil pointed at me,
and there’s nowhere to run from the fire she breathes! Horns like a devilpointed at me, she got-
Two little horns and they get me a little bit!
She got two little horns and they get me a little bit!
‘Just Beneath the Flames’ by Digital Daggers is one of those songs for #MusicMonday where I paused the second the lyrics came on. I mean, these lyric are *art* and I love this song SO FUCKING MUCH. Her voice is beautiful, but it’s also the mixture of sweet vocals with harder instrumental support that makes the lyrics come to life. It’s honestly like watching a movie in your head as you listen to this song, which is just like what a good book to me is. This is one I’ve been waiting to share with you all, and as I’m out hiking with the Dom today, I think this is a great song for *all* of us to listen to. Enjoy, lovelies!
Favorite Lyrics
We were kings and queens of bedlam, we were happy to exist. In discomfort we’d created though we dreamed of more than this.
We had embers in our bloodlines, iron lungs beneath our skin, though our hearts were barely beating, we were bleeding out within.
We’re at a stalemate, begging for the earth to shake, wondering if the winds will change, and blow us all away.
We are in the dark age, tell me it was worth the pain. Will the wild winds sing again, and blow us all away?
Or will we stay, everything the same? Oooh, stay, just beneath the flames. Just beneath the flames?
We were wary of the future, how the days drew on and on.
With our eyes so widely open, tried to see where we’d gone wrong.
We were bold and we were brazen, but grew timid over time. In our fear we lost direction, and our dreams left us behind.
We’re at a stalemate, begging for the earth to shake, wonder if the winds will change, and blow us all away.
We are in the dark age, tell me it was worth the pain. Will the wild winds sing again, and blow us all away?
Or will we stay, everything the same? Oooh, stay, waiting for a change? Oooh stay, just beneath the flames. Just beneath the flames.
It’s a new week, lovelies, and that means another #MusicMonday for all of us! Today I’m sharing “The Pounding of Hearts” by Funeral Suits and I love this song because it reminds me so much of my Dangerous Games series (which I will be coming back to soon with Book 2)! Just listen and read through the lyrics and you’ll see why. ^_^
Lyrics
So long as I’m breathing, so what if I believe in the heat of the love, the burning of skin, the gates to the woods, the swinging of limbs?
Slow burn, fast healer. Too young to see it. The kick in the air from somewhere below. The pounding of hearts, the cages of smoke.
I waited for a shiver. I waited for a bomb. I waited for a shiver. I waited for a bomb.
So long as I’m breathing,
so what if I believe in
the heat of the love, the burning of skin,
the gates to the woods, the swinging of limbs?
Slow burn, fast healer.
Too young to see it.
The kick in the air from somewhere below.
The pounding of hearts, the cages of smoke.
Now you know how to shoot, now you know how to kill… Now you know how to shoot, now you know how to kill…
AHHHH! It’s #MusicMonday, lovelies, and my day has been SO FREAKING BUSY at the day job that I’ve had zero chance before now to get this posted, and I have to because I forgot just how much I love this song (so take a few mins and listen, it is fantastic). I only have a second, but I did want to celebrate that I finished the first draft of my upcoming novel (which will be a duet if my brain goes how I think) and I’m excited to share it soooooon. Listening to such a good song while playing games like w88.com is heavenly.
For now though, I just need you guys to watch this video / listen to the song, and love all the not-so-subtle messaging with me. <3
Lyrics
Play us like pawns and relentlessly confine, Into living up to gender roles and having absent minds Don’t you think it’s funny how they tell us how to live? Don’t you think it’s funny how we’re all delinquent kids? Like, hush now, don’t say, don’t say
Hush, boy, oh, hush, boy, don’t say a word Throw on a jersey and no one gets hurt Hush, girl, oh, hush, girl, just bat your eyes Play our little game, play our little game
Bounded all thoughts and corrected common sense You’re raising suicidals with your predetermined titles Like “a mess”, “distressed”, “I am unimpressed”, “you’re excess”, “a dress is all you’ll ever be”. Gender roles impose control and deceive progressive times Welcome to the land of the broken minds
[2x] Hush, boy, oh, hush, boy, don’t say a word Throw on a jersey and no one gets hurt Hush, girl, oh, hush, girl, just bat your eyes Play our little game, play our little game
We feign opulence just to get by Put on false confidence just to feel alive They can’t hurt me anymore There’s nothing left to break of me There’s nothing left to take from me
‘Cause, baby, it’s easy to fake a smile When you’ve been doing it for a while Baby, it’s easy to fake a smile When you’ve been doing it for a while
[2x] Hush, boy, oh, hush, boy, don’t say a word Throw on a jersey and no one gets hurt Hush, girl, oh, hush, girl, just bat your eyes Play our little game, play our little game
Hush, boy, oh, hush, boy
Hush, girl, oh, hush, girl
Play our little game Play our little game Play our little game Play our little game Play our little game, Won’t you play with me?
