Pstttt. Language further down.
"If we're only ever looking back we will drive ourselves insane." -Bad Blood
"I feel overjoyed
When you listen to my words
I see them sinking in
Oh I see them crawling underneath your skin"
"You lean towards despair
Any given opportunity you're there
But what is there to gain
When you're always falling off the fence that way?" -Overjoyed
"These streets are yours,you can keep them
I don't want them
They pull me back and I surrender
To the memories I run from"
"Oh we have paved these streets
With moments of defeat." -These Streets
"All that you desired, when you were a child
Was to be old, was to be old
Now that you are here, suddenly you fear
You've lost control, you've lost control"
"Do you like the person you've become?"
"Everyday that passes, faster than the last did
Soon you'll be old, soon you'll be old."
-Weight of Living, part II
"Your hands protect the flame from the wild winds around you"
"Standing on the cliff face
Highest fall you'll ever grace
It scares me half to death
Look out to the future
But it tells you nothing
So take another breath"
"You're putting up your armor when you leave.
You leave because you're certain of who you want to be." -Icarus
"And you thought the Lions were bad
Well they tried to kill my brothers
And for every king that died
Oh they would crown another
And it's harder than you think
Telling dreams from one another."
-Daniel in the Den
"We are the last people standing
At the end of the night.
We are the greatest pretenders
In the cold morning light." -Get Home
"I'll see you in the future when we're older
And we are full of stories to be told
Cross my heart and hope to die
I'll see you with your laughter lines."
-Laughter Lines
"What's going to be left of the world if you're not in it?" -Good Grief
"To think about the power of your words
We're living in the currents you create
We're sinking in the pool if your mistakes."
-Currents
"Never good just the bad and the ugly
Laid in front of you
Nothing quite like seeing the world through the
TV's window"
"I just keep talking about it
But I'll do nothing about it
Tell me did you see the news last night."
-Warmth
"I'm the lesser of two evils
Or am I, am I tricking myself nice
If I'm a lesser of two evils
Who's this man, who's this act I hide behind."
-Lesser of two Evils
"I've got demos running round in my head
and they feed on insecurities I have."
"I want to be free of my jealousy.
Won't you exercise my mind,
Won't you exercise my mind."
-Send them Off!
"Lethargy got a hold of me
And I don't know how to shake it
Got these itchy feet for a change of scene
Do anything to escape it"
"You told me not to be like anybody else
Headspin, happiness, death
Be like anybody else
Broke down, nothing else left"
"Oh what I'd do not to worry like you."
-Lethargy
"Oh my lover, my lover, my love
We can never go back
We can only do our best to recreate
Don't turn over, turn over the page
We should rip it straight out
Then let's do our very best to fake it."
-Fake It
"Snakes are biting in my heels
The worries that refuse to let us go
I've been kicking them away
And hoping not to let them take control."
"Yes, it's easier to bury
My head in the sand sometines
And I know, I know, I know
It's not the right way to go
But I pray for the ground to swallow me whole."
"Cause I know life is simple
When I can just ignore it all."
-Snakes
"The animals break out their cages
Chaos is raining down around us
And still we stand with our arms folded
Do you want to be free of this?"
"When panic rises like the oceans
We just keep flicking through the stations
Cause if we don't post it does it happen?"
"Movies and news on television
Sometimes it's hard to tell the difference
When real life is more fucked up than fiction."
-Way Beyond
"Just another brain on the campus
Just another man in the field
Just another tall pile of papers
Making it crowded in here.
Someone else's work in your thesis
Someone else's words in your mouth
Someone else's hard work and research
taking you up in the world." -Campus
"I can see a change
I can see a change in you
I see it coursing through your veins
And it is a shame
Oh it is a shame on you
I barely recognize your face."
"And I don't like what in seeing lately
Oh, I don't like who I'm seeing lately."
"Maybe I'm living in the past
Who am I to judge
I'm the worst of all
Some things are better left unsaid
But I miss the person I knew before."
-Shame
A/N : I absolutely adore Bastille. Honestly, just listen to everything that they've ever made, it's all wonderful. I really could've quoted the entirety of 'Way Beyond' but I restrained myself. You're welcome.
UGHHH I LOVE THIS BAND
P.s. my favorites have to be 'Laughter Lines', 'Way Beyond', 'Lethargy', and 'Anchor'.
