I'm Ending The Themes Blog.

You know what... I think I'm finally done posting to this blog.

My reasons for this are that I feel I'm spending too much time on it and I'm starting to lose my interest in it. I'll probably continue keeping track of my themes, but probably not in a blog format.

To whoever happens to be here, if anyone else at all, thanks. But this is going to be my final post for The Themes Of My Life. And if you're just finding this, then have fun looking back on the past three years for me. I've gone through quite the evolution.

The past three years have been quite the journey for me. I can't wait to see what the rest of my life holds.

Stay safe and have a great life.

Month Arc:

Self Realisation

 

Yearly Arc:

The Story of a New Man



You could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt


I know it's The Last Day On Earth
We'll be together while the planet dies
I know it's The Last Day On Earth
We'll never say goodbye


This machine will, will not communicate
These thoughts and the strain I am under
Be a world child, form a circle
Before we all go under
And Fade Out again
And Fade Out again


Ever since this began
I was Blessed With A Curse.
And for better or for worse
I was born into a hearse.
I know I said
My heart beats for you.
I was lying girl.
I've been lying to you.

Everything I touch turns to stone, turns to stone.
So wrap your arms around me, and leave me on my own.
Everything I touch turns to stone, turns to stone.
So wrap your arms around me, and leave me on my own.

Take!
Back!
Every word I've said, ever said to you.
Take!
Back!
Every word I've said, ever said to you.
Take!
Back!
Every word I've said, ever said to you.
Take
Back!
Every word I've said...


At the end of the world
Or the last thing I see
You are never coming home, never coming home
Could I? Should I?
And all the things that you never ever told me
And all the smiles that are never ever...
Ever...


Little angel go away
Come again some other day
The devil has my ear today
I'll never hear a word you say
He promised I would find a little solace
And some piece of mind
Whatever just as long as I don't feel so
Desperate and ravenous
I'm so Weak and Powerless
Desperate and ravenous
I'm so Weak and Powerless
over you
over you


When the world was turned to gray
The hatred wouldn't go away
Resentment in chains
In the coldest of all hearts
A voice descends, the light departs
Madness Remains 


A trillion memories
Lost in space and time for ever more
I just wanted
I just needed to be loved.



***


No! At the top of our lungs,
There's no, no such thing as too young,
Second chances won't leave you alone

No, we'll repeat it again,
There's no, no such thing as too young,
Second chances won't leave you alone,
'Cause there's faith in love


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


When life leaves us blind
Love keeps us kind
When life leaves us blind
Love keeps us kind 

It keeps us kind


I know where you stand
Silent in the Trees
And that's where I am
Silent in the Trees.
Why won't you speak
Where I happen to be?
Silent in the trees
Standing cowardly.

I can feel your breath.
I can feel my death.
I want to know you.
I want to see.
I want to say hello.


So was it really worth the torment?
in the end, there’s nothing gained
Tried your hardest, put your heart and soul to banishing the dark
Just to find it all remained
Could you ever be forgiven
By the bridges that you burned?
Feeling something great and powerful inside you breaking free
Tell me, what is it you’ve learned?
Tell me all that you have earned…


Our trust runs out tonight
Everything we said dissolves
And now we say our last goodbye
Nothing to resolve
I never imagined you'd turn into this
But then the end was always close
We could feel it all along
Don't you know where
We could hide the lies
You were a Mouth without a heart
An action without meaning
And you walk afraid
Reaching for the hands that turned closed


Let's start over again
Why can't we start it over again
Just let us start it over again
And we'll be good
This time we'll get it, get it right
It's our last chance to forgive ourselves


And the sky is filled with light
Can you see it?
All the black is really white
If you believe it
And the longing that you feel
You know none of this is real
You will find a better a place
In This Twilight.

 

New Years Resolution:

Be good.

What We're Afraid Of

Quote:

This is how we fall apart
This is how the ending starts
And when our heads betray our hearts
We fake what we don't know

Cause all we are is everything we've done
All we are is how quickly we run
And all we are
We are

This is how we fall apart
But this is how beginnings start
Cause when our heads betray our hearts
We fake what we don't know

And if our doubt begins again
The answers find us in the end
So in the meantime we'll pretend
And fake what we don't know

Find yourself afraid to see?

I want to be a celebrity martyr
Who's gonna be there to make me whole?
Television dreams of tomorrow, we're not the ones who are meant to follow
Am I just paranoid, or am I just stoned?

Welcome to a new kind of tension
Take me away to paradise
I run, and it puts me underground
It's not 'cause you're not here with me, it's because you never leave!

We're young and in love, heart attacks waiting to happen
So wrap your arms around me and leave me on my own
I don't wanna do this by myself, I don't wanna live like a broken record
It's a drunken punch-up at a wedding, yeah

That little kiss you stole, it held my heart and soul
Idiot, slow down, slow down
Your dark shines, bringing me down, making my heart feel sore
And they make me, make me scream your screams

Little angel go away, come again some other day
Hear me, what words can't convey
A trillion memories lost in space and time forever more
I just wanted, I just needed to be loved.

Amen.

You had to ruin it for all concerned
In a drunken punch-up at a wedding

Hypocrite opportunist
Don't infect me with your poison

Useless device, it won't suffice
I want a new game to play
When I am gone
It won't be long, before I disturb you in the dark

And paradise comes at a price

What were we built for?
Will someone tell me please?

Take off your disguise
I know that underneath
It's me

Month Arc:

Suffocation - Save Me


You, were my oppressor, and I, I have been programmed to obey,
I know the pieces fit, I know the pieces fit,
I'm not breaking down, I'm breaking out,
Learn to swim, learn to swim, learn to swim, learn to swim,
It's not enough! I need more! Nothing seems to satisfy!
Why can't we start it over again?
When you pissed all over my black kettle,
You don't, you don't, you don't see me at all.
Call an optimist, she's turning blue, such a lovely color for you,
Throw it all away, let's lose ourselves,
They keep calling me, keep on calling me,
Please, please, let's use this chance to turn things around,
You and me, we're in this together now!
None of them can stop us now, we can make it through somehow!
Maybe you can't handle yourself, staring at me with your lips and tongue,
I've been having this dream that we can fly,
So maybe if we never wake up we can see the sky!

I can feel your bad vibrations all around me, all consuming,
And now you're tired of the fighting, fighting yourself,
I will always fight for one more breath, even in a cardiac arrest,
I think we're doomed, I think we're doomed, and now there's no way back!
And I want you now, I want you now,
I'm right back at it again, just like I've always said,
And it scares the hell out of me, and the end is all I can see,
I know that underneath, it's me. 

Just let us start it over again,
And we'll be good,
This time we'll get it,
Get it right,
It's our last chance
to forgive ourselves...
