Melancholia

Morir ahogado.

[1] Julianna Barwick - Cloudbank


[2] Bang Bang [My Baby Shot Me Down] - Nancy Sinatra

I was five and he was six
We rode on horses made of sticks
He wore black and I wore white
He would always win the fight

Bang bang, he shot me down
Bang bang, I hit the ground
Bang bang, that awful sound
Bang bang, my baby shot me down.

Seasons came and changed the time
When I grew up, I called him mine
He would always laugh and say
"Remember when we used to play?"

Bang bang, I shot you down
Bang bang, you hit the ground
Bang bang, that awful sound
Bang bang, I used to shoot you down.

Music played, and people sang
Just for me, the church bells rang.

Now he's gone, I don't know why
And till this day, sometimes I cry
He didn't even say goodbye
He didn't take the time to lie.

Bang bang, he shot me down
Bang bang, I hit the ground
Bang bang, that awful sound
Bang bang, my baby shot me down...

[3.1] Blonde Readhead - For The Damaged & For The Damaged Coda

Maybe again he will be alone
Guess we're equally damaged
Find your name do it all the same equally
Signal when you can't breathe no more

Say you were me then you could see the view
You'll know we are equally damaged
Don't be a fool, make it easier
You'll learn to say when
Signal if you can't say, "no more"

Don't cross your finger
Sundays will never change
They keep on coming
You'll be a freak
And I'll keep you company

[3.2] Blonde Redhead - For The Damaged Coda


[4] Tell Me - Cocoon

Tell me what they said when they found out that I've lost you
Tell me that you feel better when I say it scares me too

I'm not a friend of yours anymore [x2]

Tell me every bend, tell me all the dance I'll never know
Tell me every fence, tell me all the caves you'll never show
I'm not a friend of yours anymore
I'm not a friend of yours
And tonight I hate birds
I hate birds
I hate birds
And tonight I hate birds [x6]

[5] We Used To Wait - Arcade Fire - Ace Reporter Cover

I used to write,
I used to write letters I used to sign my name
I used to sleep at night
Before the flashing lights settled deep in my brain

But by the time we met
By the time we met the times had already changed

So I never wrote a letter
I never took my true heart I never wrote it down
So when the lights cut out
I was left standing in the wilderness downtown

Now our lives are changing fast [x2]
Hope that something pure can last [x2]

It seems strange
How we used to wait for letters to arrive
But what's stranger still
Is how something so small can keep you alive

We used to wait
We used to waste hours just walking around
We used to wait
All those wasted lives in the wilderness downtown

oooo we used to wait [x4]
Sometimes it never came
(oooo we used to wait)[x2]
Still moving through the pain
(oooooo)

I'm gonna write a letter to my true love
I'm gonna sign my name
Like a patient on a table
I wanna walk again gonna move through the pain

Now our lives are changing fast [x2]
Hope that something pure can last [x2]

oooo we used to wait [x4]
Sometimes it never came
(oooo we used to wait)[x2]
Still moving through the pain
(oooooo)

We used to wait [x3]

We used to wait for it [x2]
Now we're screaming sing the chorus again
We used to wait for it [x2]
Now we're screaming sing the chorus again

I used to wait for it [x2]
Hear my voice screaming sing the chorus again

Wait for it [x3]
