The Killers....

Are a relatively good group. I like the songs that are on the radio and the ones that aren't. They made a good cd. But if you think about it, their lyrics are depressing. But I've been depressed for a while now, well, maybe not depressed. Just not myself. I don't want to hang out with my friends, or talk to some of them on msn. But then again, everyone can't do that all the time as I have been. And the current fiasco's that I am involved somehow in a weird revalence have left me drained. Its like I've been solving problems for my friends, like guy troubles...for both of them....even though ones a guy. Then finding new information, about friends liking friends...and its a brain overload. But I've instilled all my energy in all their problems and have no time or energy to sort out my insignifacant (to them) problems. But all these little problems that I am seeming to have recently are building up, unresolved. And as you can probably figure out, its taking a toll on me.


The Killers - Smile like you mean it

Save some face, you know you've only got one
Change your ways while you're young
Boy, one day you'll be a man
Oh girl, he'll help you understand
Smile like you mean it
Smile like you mean it

Looking back at sunsets on the Eastside
We lost track of the time
Dreams aren't what they used to be
Some things slide by so carelessly
Smile like you mean it
Smile like you mean it
And someone is calling my name
From the back of the restaurant
And someone is playing a game
In the house that I grew up in
And someone will drive her around
Down the same streets that I did
On the same streets that I did

Pretty good song eh?

Yea. It is. thats one of the more 'happy messages' one. Hah. All somewhat depressing with a second thought. But I like them.

And another song by them....

"Andy, You're A Star"

On the field I remember you were incredible
Hey shut up, hey shut up, yeah
On the field I remember you were incredible
Hey shut up, hey shut up, yeah
On the match with the boys, you think you're all alone
With the pain that you drain from love
In a car with a girl, promise me she's not your world
Cause Andy, you're a star

Leave your number on the locker and I'll give you a call
Hey shut up, hey shut up, yeah
Leave your legacy in gold on the plaques that line the hall
Hey shut up, hey shut up, yeah
On the streets, such a sweet face jumping in town
In the staff room the verdict is in
In a car with a girl, promise me she's not your world
Cause Andy, you're a star
In nobody's eyes but mine Andy, you're a star
In nobody's eyes but mine Andy, you're a star
In nobody's eyes
In nobody's eyes but mine

I guess thats a pretty good one. but the beginning melody is slow...I hate slow right now. I think I might turn into a scream-o fan. Hah. Maybe, but I will like music like this forever I think. I just don't have it in me to be a scream-o fan. I will try. But why? what for? Who cares what music I listen?

Ok, last one I promise....

"All These Things That I've Done"

When there's nowhere else to run
Is there room for one more son
One more son
If you can hold on
If you can hold on, hold on I wanna stand up, I wanna let go
You know, you know - no you don't, you don't
I wanna shine on in the hearts of men
I want a meaning from the back of my broken hand
Another head aches, another heart breaks
I am so much older than I can take
And my affection, well it comes and goes
I need direction to perfection, no no no no
Help me out Yeah, you know you got to help me out
Yeah, oh don't you put me on the back burner
You know you got to help me out And when there's nowhere else to run
Is there room for one more son
These changes ain't changing me
The cold-hearted boy I used to be
Yeah, you know you got to help me out
Yeah, oh don't you put me on the back burner
You know you got to help me out
You're gonna bring yourself down
Yeah, you're gonna bring yourself down
Yeah, you're gonna bring yourself down
I got soul, but I'm not a soldier
I got soul, but I'm not a soldier...
Yeah, you know you got to help me out
Yeah, oh don't you put me on the back burner
You know you got to help me out
You're gonna bring yourself down
You're gonna bring yourself down
Yeah, oh don't you put me on the back burner
Yeah, you're gonna bring yourself down
Over and in, last call for sin
While everyone's lost, the battle is won
With all these things that I've done
All these things that I've done
If you can hold on

Thats a long one. I think this is probably my longest post. But thats because of the songs, not my writing. Oh well. I tried. And failed. But I do not want to write right now. I want to go swimming, I always want to go swimming, it clears my thoughts. The fluid movement of the water surrounding you as you paddle forward into a horizon of ocean. Well, that would work, if I wanted to swim in the freezing cold water. But I think I will swim in the pool, now how do I move it so it isn't across town? Cause I ain't walking there. And there is only like 8 minutes left for teen swim, well, thats pointless. Maybe some other night, yes, some other night.
