I think I'm on another world with you
I'm on another planet with you
You always get under my skin
I don't find it irritating
- “Another Girl Another Planet,” The Only Ones
A change of speed, a change of style.
A change of scene, with no regrets,
A chance to watch, admire the distance,
Still occupied, though you forget.
“New Dawn Fades,” New Order feat. Moby
I never thought it could be as good as this
I finally found a new sense of purpose
“The Pledge,” Brendan Benson
And if I told you that I loved you
You'd maybe think there's something wrong
I'm not a man of too many faces
The mask I wear is one
“Shape of My Heart,” Sting
And I cannot guess what we'll discover
When we turn the dirt with our palms cupped like shovels
But I know our filthy hands can wash one another’s
And not one speck will remain
“Soul Meets Body,” Death Cab for Cutie
When you think the night has seen your mind
That inside you're twisted and unkind
Let me stand to show that you are blind
Please put down your hands
“I'll Be Your Mirror,” Velvet Underground & Nico
It feels your brain has lived a thousand lives before
And the skin you call your home
Holds a heart that quits,
And knees that buckle in,
And lungs that can't breathe when they're alone.
“Accidental Death,” Rilo Kiley
You don't see what you've got to gain
But you don't like to lose
You watch yourself from the sidelines
Like your life is a game you don't mind playing
“Bright Baby Blues,” James Taylor
Ah, but I was so much older then
I’m younger than that now
“My Back Pages,” Marshall Crenshaw
I've been knocked down flat by joy that makes my face pulse like a sugar high
I've been cornered by the screams of a body as it freed itself of its mind
I guess you could call it superpowers
but no one is going to save the world with what I've got
- “Superpowers,” Dismemberment Plan
