[mixtape] FOREVER ALONE!
Even though Valentine's Day is supposed to be celebrated by most people, it's a fact that many of us (me included) don't have a couple for such exclusive holiday. And if the loneliness that the date involves affects you this is the perfect mixtape to accompany that horrible feeling with! Some of this songs are friendship-loneliness related, but still, all of them share the same feeling that no one else in the world loves you.

Deerhunter - Agoraphobia
come for me
cover me
come for me
comfort me
and after some time I know I would go blind
but seeing only binds the vision to the eye
I lose my voice, I know
but i've nothing left to say
(nothing left to pray)
no echo in this place
Cublicles - My Chemical Romance
It happens all the time
And I can't help but think I'll die alone
(...)
Sometimes I think I'll die alone, sometimes I think I'll die alone
Sometimes I think I'll die alone, live and breathe and die alone
Sometimes I think I'll die alone, sometimes I think I'll die alone
Sometimes I think I'll die alone, I'd think I'd love to die alone
Evil - Interpol
I could take you places
Do you need a new man?
Wipe the pollen from the faces
Make revision to a dream while you wait in the van
It took a life span with no cellmate
To find the long way back
Sandy, why can't we look the other way?
You're weightless; you are exotic
You need something for which to care
Sandy, why can't we look the other way?
I Love Creedence - Casiotone For The Painfully Alone
we laughed like we were queens
& split our ballgowns at the seams
& every single time I'd dream
it was only El & me
but then she slipped away from me
she met a boy from New Jersey
& they fell fast in love of course
I swear it felt like a divorce
this September I'll be 26 years old
& El's the only one besides my dad
who's ever said I love you Creedence
Killing Loneliness - HIM
The suicide of love took away all that matters
And buried the remains in an unmarked grave in your heart
With the venomous kiss you gave me, I'm killing loneliness
With the warmth of your arms, you saved me
Oh, I'm killing loneliness with you
The killing loneliness that turned my heart into a tomb
I'm killing loneliness
Koop Islands Blues - Koop
Hello my love
It's getting cold on this island
I'm sad alone
I'm so sad on my own
The truth is
We were much too young
Now I'm looking for you
Or anyone like you
We said goodbye
With the smile on our faces
Now you're alone
You're so sad on your own
Last Night I Dreamt Somebody Loved Me - The Smiths
Last night I dreamt
That somebody loved me
No hope, no harm
Just another false alarm
Last night I felt
Real arms around me
No hope, no harm
Just another false alarm
(...)
The story is old - I KNOW
But it goes on
The story is old - I KNOW
But it goes on
Oh, GOES ON
And on
Oh, goes on
And on
Like a Stone - Audioslave
And on I read until the day was gone
And I sat in regret of all the things I've done
For all that I've blessed and all that I've wronged
In dreams until my death I will wander on
In your house I long to be
Room by room patiently
I'll wait for you there like a stone
I'll wait for you there alone
Alone
Alone
Lithium - Nirvana
I'm so happy 'cause today
I've found my friends, they're in my head
I'm so ugly, that's OK
(...)
I'm so lonely, that's OK
I shaved my head and I'm not sad
And just maybe I'm to blame
For all I've heard but I'm not sure
I'm so excited, I can't wait
To meet you there and I don't care
I'm so horny, that's OK
My will is good
Lover I Don't Have To Love - Bright Eyes
You write such pretty words
But life's no storybook
Love's an excuse to get hurt
And to hurt
Do you like to hurt?
I do, I do
Then hurt me
Then hurt me
Then hurt me
Melpomene - Kashmir
the war they pulled us through
as fragile hearts ran short of glue
as we're both running out of time
and seek to drown the fact in wine
it should be honest and naive
like we should give, we should receive
I must be jaded
fading out of fuction into solitude
Flutter girl
killing me with her sunshine
sunshine
she's so unaware
that she's my melpomene
Mistaken For Strangers - The National
You get mistaken for strangers by your own friends
when you pass them at night under the silvery, silvery citibank lights
arm in arm in arm and eyes and eyes glazing under
oh you wouldn't want an angel watching over
surprise, surprise they wouldn't wannna watch
another uninnocent, elegant fall into the unmagnificent lives of adults
The Mixed Tape - Jack's Mannequin
This is morning
It's when I spend the most time
Thinking 'bout what I�ve given up
This is a warning
When you start the day
Just to close the curtains
You're thinking 'bout what I�ve given up
Where are you now?
As I�m swimming through this stereo
I'm writing you a symphony of sound
Where are you now?
As we rearrange these songs again
This mix could burn a hole in anyone
It was you I was thinking of
It was you I was thinking of
Paper Bag - Dear And The Headlights
And wisdom's only shown me
that my loneliness is all my fault
And it's all my fault.
And I don't know what I have done wrong.
You say you understand me
Well I don't get you at all
And it seems everyone around me is
So good at faking it that I don't know
Just how to act around you
I'm like a paper bag, but the bottom's wet.
It must be something bleeding internally inside.
I didn't know the things that you never did
could stay with you your whole life.
And I don't know what I have done wrong.
Restless Heart Syndrome - Green Day
I think they found another cure
For broken hearts and feeling insecure
You'd be surprised what I endure
What makes you feel so self-assured?
I need to find a place to hide
You never know what could be waiting outside
The accidents that you could find
It's like some kind of suicide
So what ails you is what impales you
I feel like I've been crucified to be satisfied
I'm a victim of my symptom
I am my own worst enemy
You're a victim of your symptom
You are your own worst enemy
Know your enemy
Si Tú No Vuelves - Amaral & Chetes
Si tú no vuelves
Se secarán todos los mares
Y esperaré sin ti
Tapiado al fondo de algún recuerdo
Si tú no vuelves
Mi voluntad se hará pequeña...
Me quedaré aquí
Junto a mi perro espiando horizontes
The Blower's Daughter - Damien Rice
And so it is
The shorter story
No love, no glory
No hero in her skies
I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off of you
(...)
Oh, did I say
That I loathe you?
Did I say
That I want to leave it all behind?
Then The Clouds Will Open For Me - Placebo
My guy has a tan transcontinental
but it keeps me enchained
watch an old black and white movie
Fred and ginger are too sentimental, crying in shame
I don't want to be forgotten
I can't be alone
so don't you dare leave me
it's like coming home
to a skin that has died
human voices like a drum
and they're looking right through me
scatter the ashes one more time for me, one more time for me
(...)
narcotic? yes please, I'll have a sample
riding on my very last chance
then the clouds will open for me
gonna meet my Jesus Christ
(...)
sadness the name of the spike that took me
I'll make that's all
like some raging, hard, horny Mephistopheles
who came for my soul
