Florence + The Machine - Bird Song @paradiselostx

paradiselost Unofficial video for the track "Bird Song" by Florence + The Machine.

Lyrics:

Well I didn't tell anyone, but a bird flew by.
Saw what I'd done. He set up a nest outside,
and he sang about what I'd become.
He sang so loud, sang so clear.
I was afraid all the neighbours would hear,
So I invited him in, just to reason with him.
I promised I wouldn't do it again.

But he sang louder and louder inside the house,
And no I couldn't get him out.
So I trapped him under a cardboard box.
stood on it to make him stop.
I picked up the bird and above the din I said
"That's the last song you'll ever sing".
Held him down, broke his neck,
Taught him a lesson he wouldn't forget.

But in my dreams began to creep
that old familiar tweet tweet tweet

I opened my mouth to scream and shout,
I waved my arms and flapped about.
But I couldn't scream and I couldn't shout,
couldn't scream and I couldn't shout.

I opened my mouth to scream and shout
waved my arms and flapped about
But I couldn't scream I couldn't shout,
The song was coming from my mouth.
From my mouth,
From my mouth,
From my mouth.

From my mouth,
From my mouth,
From my mouth,
From my mouth.

From my mouth.
From my mouth.
From my mouth.
From my mouth.

From my mouth,
From my mouth,
From my mouth,
From my mouth.

Jockstrap - Concrete Over Water

paradiselost 2023-07-05 | From Jockstrap’s Mercury Prize shortlisted album “I Love You Jennifer B”

I live in the city
Tower's blue and the sky is black
I feel the night
I see it, it's on my back
On my back
It makes me cry
This European air, I swear it does
Randomly ungrateful for
Grateful for a night
Solemn night walker
To our telephone talker
It's you
Maybe it's you

Oh, one night
On the bridge we stood
Concrete over water
I think you remind me of the night
But also of the day
I think of Italy, champagne
I think of Spain

I wanna be there
I want more than my head
Should've meant it when I said
Now I'm more than my head

I'm glad you take me as I am
Whatever shape with woman, man
Black or blue, a filthy cheat I am
And you still come to see the band
Light and dark at once
Never lonely in holy metronomy
So dazzlingly dark because of its bright
And truth is God and God is light
The space behind the sky
In which the darkness depends on
In the creation of light

Oh, one night
On the bridge we stood
Concrete over water
I think you remind me of the night
But also of the day
I think of Italy, champagne
I think of Spain

I wanna be there
Two sides of the moon
Black spots on the sun

the feeling of losing everything

paradiselost 2018-09-26 | I feel strange, covered in waves of confusion and people not looking inside, all the stars all seem to collapse, over the sea of my thoughts and the net comes creeping, over the calm and I’m caught and all is lost in a storm, of something sinister.

As I leave to go away, the lazy sun burns a hole and I remember those dying words you said, the feeling of losing everything and all is lost in a storm, of something sinister.

Slow tides and falling grace, reflections cold in this space, I am floored and can’t return, this winter’s white, its silence burns.

Lorde - Sober (I & II - Melodrama)

paradiselost 2017-08-06 | Introspection can be a terrifying thing. Sometimes you gotta dance with the truth, even if the truth almost kills you.

Part 1: Sober

[Intro]
Night, midnight, lose my mind
Night, midnight, lose my mind
Night, midnight, lose my mind
(When you get to my high, when you get to my)
Night, midnight

[Verse 1]
Oh, God, I'm clean out of air in my lungs
It's all gone
Played it so nonchalant
It's time we danced with the truth
Move alone with the truth
Ooh (hey)
We're sleeping through all the days
I'm acting like I don't see
Every ribbon you used to tie yourself to me

[Pre-Chorus]
But my hips have missed your hips
So, let's get to know the kicks
Will you sway with me?
Go astray with me?
(Ah ha)

[Chorus]
We're King and Queen of the weekend
Ain't a pill that could touch our rush
(But what will we do when we're sober?)
When you dream with a fever
Bet you wish you could touch our rush
(But what will we do when we're sober?)
These are the games of the weekend
We pretend that we just don't care
But we care
(But what will we do when we're sober?)
When you dream with a fever
Bet you wish you could touch our rush
(But what will we do when we're sober?)

[Verse 2]
Oh, God, I'm closing my teeth
Around this liquor-wet lime
Midnight, lose my mind
I know you're feeling it too
Can we keep up with the ruse?
Ah ah (hey)
B-bodies all through my house
I know this story by heart:
Jack and Jill get fucked up and possessive
When it get dark

[Pre-Chorus]
But my hips have missed your hips
So, let's get to know the kicks
Will you sway with me?
Go astray with me?
(Ah ha)

[Chorus]
We're King and Queen of the Weekend
Ain't a pill that could touch our rush
(But what will we do when we're sober?)
When you dream with a fever
Bet you wish you could touch our rush
(But what will we do when we're sober?)
These are the games of the weekend
We pretend that we just don't care
But we care
(But what will we do when we're sober?)
When you dream with a fever
Bet you wish you could touch our rush
(But what will we do when we're sober?)

[Bridge]
Midnight, we're fading
'Til daylight, we're jaded
We know that it's over
In the morning, you'll be dancing with all the heartache
And the treason, the fantasies of leaving
But we know that, when it's over
In the morning, you'll be dancing with us
(Midnight, lose my mind, midnight, lose my mind)
Oh, dancing with us
(But what will we do when we're sober?)
Oh, you'll be dancing with us
(Can you feel it? Can you feel it?)
Dancing with us, us
(But what will we do when we're sober?)
Us

[Outro]
When you get to my high (midnight, lose my mind)
When you get to my (midnight, lose my mind)

Part 2: Sober II (Melodrama)

You asked if I was feeling it, I’m psycho high
Know you won’t remember in the morning when
I speak my mind
Lights are on and they’ve gone home, but who am I?
Oh, how fast the evening passes, cleaning up
The champagne glasses

We told you this was melodrama
(Oh, how fast the evening passes
Cleaning up the champagne glasses)
Our only wish is melodrama
(Oh, how fast the evening passes
Cleaning up the champagne glasses)

And the terror
And the horror
When we wonder why we bother
And the terror and the horror
God, I wonder why we bother
All the glamour and the trauma and the fuckin'
Melodrama

All the gun fights
And the lime lights
And the holy sick divine nights
They’ll talk about us, all the lovers
How we kiss and kill each other
They’ll talk about us, and discover
How we kissed and killed each other

We told you this was melodrama
You wanted something that we offer

Paramore - Hard Times

paradiselost 2017-05-09 | Everything I channel seems to return to late 20th century London.

[Verse 1]
All that I want is to wake up fine
To tell me that I’m alright, that I ain’t gonna die
All that I want is a hole in the ground
You can tell me when it’s alright for me to come out

[Chorus]
Hard times, gonna make you wonder why you even try
Hard times, gonna take you down and laugh when you cry
These lives, and I still don't know how I even survive
Hard times, hard times
And I gotta get to rock bottom, uh

[Verse 2]
Walking around with my little rain cloud
Hanging over my head and it ain’t coming down
Where do I go? Gimme some sort of sign
Hit me with lightning, maybe I’ll come alive

[Chorus]
Hard times, gonna make you wonder why you even try
Hard times, gonna take you down and laugh when you cry
These lives and I still don't know how I even survive
Hard times, hard times
And I gotta hit rock bottom, uh

[Bridge]
Tell my friends I’m coming down
We'll kick it when I hit the ground
Tell my friends I’m coming down
We'll kick it when I hit the ground
When I hit the ground, when I hit the ground
When I hit the ground, when I hit the ground

[Chorus]
Hard times, gonna make you wonder why you even try
Hard times, gonna take you down and laugh when you cry
These lives and I still don't know how I even survive
Hard times (hard times)
Hard times (hard times)
Hard times gonna make you wonder why you even try
Hard times (hard times)
Gonna take you down and laugh when you cry
These lives and I still don't know how I even survive
Hard times (hard times)
Hard times
And I gotta get to rock bottom

When we were young, we used to get so close to it
And you were scared and you were beautiful
I wanna peer over the edge and see in death
If we are always the same

Oh, I fear that no life will ever be like this again
Cause your love kept me alive and it made me insane, oh, yeah

There were moments when it seemed okay
(But I go back alone)
Where do you go? Oh, where do you stay?
(I go back alone)
There was a time when the music would play
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh

Oh, baby, every morning there are mountains to climb
Taking all my time
Oh, when I get up, this is what I see
Welcome to reality
Oh, baby, every morning there are mountains to climb
Taking all my time
Oh, when I get up, this is what I see
Welcome to reality

There were moments when it seemed okay
(But I go back alone)
Where do you go? Oh, where do you stay?
(I go back alone)
Oh, oh, oh-oh, oh

Oh, baby, every morning there are mountains to climb
Taking all my time
Oh, when I get up, this is what I see
Welcome to reality
Oh, baby, every morning there are mountains to climb
Taking all my time
Oh, when I get up, this is what I see
Welcome to reality

Oh, baby, every
(Give me a sign)
Oh, baby, every
(To reality)
Oh, baby, every
(Give me a sign)
Oh, baby, every
Oh, oh, oh-oh, oh
(Give me a sign)
Oh, baby, every

Rihanna - Love on the Brain

paradiselost 2017-04-05 | [Verse 1]
And you got me like, "Oh, what you want from me?"
(What you want from me?)
And I tried to buy your pretty heart, but the price too high
Baby you got me like "Oh"
You love when I fall apart (fall apart)
So you can put me together and throw me against the wall

Baby you got me like i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-hiii, woo i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-hiii

Don't quit loving me (loving me)
Just start loving me (loving me)

And babe I’m fist-fighting with fire
Just to get close to you
Can we burn something babe
And I run for miles just to get a taste
Must be love on the brain
That’s got me feeling this way
It beats me black and blue but it fucks me so good
And I can’t get enough
Must be love on the brain yeah
And it keeps cursing my name
No matter what I do
I’m no good without you
And I can’t get enough
Must be love on the..... brain

[Verse 2]
Baby keep loving me
Just love me
Yeah, just love me
All you need to do is love me, yeah
Got me like, ah-ha-ha-owww
I’m tired of being played like a violin
What do I gotta do to get in your motherfuckin’ heart?
Baby like i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-hiii, woo i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-hiii

[Pre-Chorus]

It beats me black and blue but it fucks me so good
And I can’t get enough
Must be love on the brain yeah

王菲 - 棋子 (Faye Wong - Chess Piece)

paradiselost 2017-02-14 | 想走出你控制的領域
卻走近你安排的戰局
我沒有堅強的防備
也沒有後路可以退

I want to leave your controlled domain
Yet I walk into a prearranged battle
I don't have the protection of strength
Nor an escape route to leave by

Nor the fortune of escaping

我像是一顆棋
進退任由你決定

卻是不起眼的小兵

I'm like a chess piece
I only advance or retreat through your decisions
I'm not the only general in your eyes
I'm only an inconspicuous pawn

我像是一顆棋子
來去全不由自己
舉手無悔你從不曾猶豫
我卻受控在你手裡

You make decisions without regrets, you never hesitate
But I am controlled within your hands

Part 1: Yoncé

[Verse 1]
See me up in the club with fifty-eleven girls
Posted in the back, diamond fangs in my grill
Brooklyn brim with my eyes sitting low
Every boy in here with me got that smoke
Every girl in here got to look me up and down
All on Instagram, cake by the pound
Circulate the image every time I come around
G's up, tell me how I'm looking babe

[Bridge]
Boy this all for you just walk my way
Just tell me how it's looking babe
Just tell me how it's looking babe

I do this all for you baby just take aim
And tell me how it's looking babe
(How it's looking babe)
Tell me how it's looking babe, looking babe

[Verse 2]
Drop the bass, mane, the bass get lower
Radio say "speed it up", I just go slower
High like treble, pumping on the mids
Ya man ain't ever seen a booty like this
And why you think ya keep my name rolling off the tongue
Cuz when he wanna smash I'll just write another one
I sneezed on the beat and the beat got sicker
Yoncé all on his mouth like liquor
Yoncé all on his mouth like liquor
Yoncé all on his mouth like liquor
Yoncé all on his mouth like liquor
Like like liquor, like like like liquor
Yoncé all on his mouth like liquor
Yoncé all on his mouth like liquor
Yoncé all on his mouth like liquor
Like like liquor, like like like liquor

Part 2: Partition

[Verse 1]
Driver, roll up the partition, please
Driver, roll up the partition, please
I don't need you seeing 'Yonce on her knees
Took 45 minutes to get all dressed up
We ain't even gonna make it to this club
Now my mascara running, red lipstick smudged
Oh he so horny, yeah he want to fuck
He popped all my buttons, and he ripped my blouse
He Monica Lewinsky-ed all on my gown

[Pre-Hook]
Oh there daddy, daddy didn’t bring the towel
Oh baby baby we betta slow it down

[Verse 2]
Driver, roll up the partition fast
Driver, roll up the partition fast
Over there I swear I saw them cameras flash
Handprints and footprints on my glass
Handprints and good grips all on my ass
Private show with the music blasting
He like to call me Peaches when we get this nasty
Red wine drip, we’ll talk that trash
Chauffeur eavesdropping trying not to crash

[Pre-Hook]
Oh there daddy, daddy now you ripped my fur
Oh baby baby be sweating out my hair

Est-ce que tu aimes le sexe?
Le sexe, je veux dire: l'activité physique, le coït. Tu aimes ça?
Tu ne t'intéresses pas au sexe?
Les hommes pensent que les féministes détestent le sexe mais c'est une activité très stimulante et naturelle que les femmes adorent

[Hook]
Take all of me

You can run free, I won't hold it against ya
You do your thing, never wanted a future
Fuck if I knew how to put it romantic
Speaking my truth, there's no need to panic

Let's keep it fun
We don't put a label on it
So we can run free, yeah
I wanna be free like you

Ice cold, I roll my eyes at you, boy

Said you want fines for whatever reason

Let's keep it fun
We don't put a label on it

Where the light shivers offshore
Through the tides of oceans
We are shining in the rising sun
As we are floating in the blue
I am softly watching you
Oh boy, your eyes betray what burns inside you

[Chorus]
Whatever I feel for you
You only seem to care about you
Is there any chance you could see me too?
Cause I love you
Is there anything I could do
Just to get some attention from you?
In the waves I've lost every trace of you
Where are you?

[Verse 2]
After all I drifted ashore
Through the streams of oceans
Whispers wasted in the sand
As we were dancing in the blue
I was synchronized with you
But now the sound of love is out of tune

[Chorus]
Whatever I feel for you
You only seem to care about you
Is there any chance you could see me too?
Cause I love you
Is there anything I could do
Just to get some attention from you?
In the waves I've lost every trace of you
Where are you?

Whatever I feel for you
You only seem to care about you
Is there any chance you could see me too?
Cause I love you
Is there anything I could do
Just to get some attention from you?
In the waves I've lost every trace of you
Where are you?

[Verse 1]
Oh we're further than before
And it's harder than it used to be
When I wanna to see you
Cause I need to
Cause I feel like it
Cause I want to
It gets the better of me

[Verse 2]
You don't know how hard
It is to bear
Getting on without you
Without you
I'm not getting anywhere

[Pre-Chorus]
See every time that I see you
I can't help but think
That you're a little more distant
Now than when you were with me last week
When I just wanna get closer
A little closer to you
Get as close as I can
So close that I can't breathe unless you do

[Chorus]
Get a bit closer
Closer to you
Get a bit closer, closer, closer
Get a bit closer
Closer to you
Get a bit closer, closer, closer

[Verse 3]
I close my eyes
I close my eyes
And I pray
Hoping that you
Have got what it takes
But I'm a fool to think you might wait

[Pre-Chorus]
See, every time that I see you
I can't help but think
That you're a little more distant
Now than when you were with me last week
When I just wanna get closer
A little closer to you
Get as close as I can
So close that I can't breathe unless you do

[Chorus]
Get a bit closer
Closer to you
Get a bit closer, closer, closer
Get a bit closer
Closer to you
Get a bit closer, closer, closer

[Bridge]
But you're choosing Stockholm
You're choosing New York
You touch down in Sydney
Everywhere that I'm not
We're going the distance
But how can't you see
All this resistance ain't coming from me

[Final Chorus]
(Get a bit closer)
See, every time that I see you
(Closer to you)
I can't help but think
(Get a bit closer, closer, closer)
That you're a little more distant
Now than when you were with me last week
(Get a bit closer)
When I just wanna get closer
(Closer to you)
A little closer to you
(Get a bit closer, closer, closer)
Get as close as I can
So close that I won't breathe unless you do
(Get a bit closer)
Unless you do
(Closer to you)
Unless you do
(Get a bit closer, closer, closer)
So close that I can't breathe unless you do

[Outro]
Get a bit closer
Closer to you
Get a bit closer

Begin again

I've been watching your kindness keep
A lonely company
Look at the fire and think of me
I've been watching you creep
Around my wandering feet
Trying for years to flee
[Pre-Chorus]
I need not one thing more
Oh, wrap the ground around
Your gentle winding mind
Oh, guard the pounding sound
Breathe in your fiery air
Oh, wrap the ground around
Give back an hungrier stare
Oh, guard the pounding sound

You be the moon, I'll be the earth
And when we burst
Start over, oh darling
Begin again
Begin again
Begin again
You be the moon, I'll be the earth
And when we burst
Start over, oh darling
Begin again

[Verse 2]
My moon, oh, my moon
Not even into
Another eternity
Will you stop your lovely orbiting
I had held it a world away
Until my body 'gan to say

Uh oh oh oh
Uh oh oh oh
Uh oh oh oh

[Pre-Chorus]
I need not one thing more
Oh, wrap the ground around
Your gentle winding mind
Oh, guard the pounding sound
Breathe in your fiery air
Oh, wrap the ground around
Give back an hungrier stare
Oh, guard the pounding sound

You be the moon, I'll be the earth
And when we burst

[Verse 1]
Swinging in the backyard
Pull up in your fast car
Whistling my name
Open up a beer
And you say "get over here"
And play a video game
I'm in his favorite sun dress
Watching me get undressed
Take that body downtown
I say you the bestest
Lean in for a big kiss
Put his favorite perfume on
Go play your video game

[Chorus]
It's you, it's you, it's all for you
Everything I do
I tell you all the time
Heaven is a place on earth with you
Tell me all the things you want to do
I heard that you like the bad girls
Honey, is that true?
It's better than I ever even knew
They say that the world was built for two
Only worth living if somebody is loving you
Baby now you do

[Verse 2]
Singing in the old bars
Swinging with the old stars
Living for the fame
Kissing in the blue dark
Playing pool and wild darts
Video games
He holds me in his big arms
Drunk and I am seeing stars
This is all I think of
Watching all our friends fall
In and out of Old Paul's
This is my idea of fun
Playing video games

[Couplet 1]
Dans ma veste de soie rose
Je déambule morose
Le crépuscule est grandiose

[Refrain]
Heartless
How could you be so heartless?
How could you be so heartless?
How could you be so heartless?
[Couplet 2]
Dandy un peu maudit, un peu vieilli
Dans ce luxe qui s'effondre
Te souviens-tu quand je chantais
Dans les caves de Londres ?
Un peu noyé dans la fumée
Ce rock sophistiqué
Toutes les nuits tu restais là

[Refrain]
Heartless
How could you be so heartless?
How could you be so heartless?
How could you be so heartless?

[Couplet 3]
Bandit un peu maudit, un peu vieilli
Les musiciens sont ridés
Et ce clavier comme c'est joli
J'essaie de me rappeler
Encore une fois
Les accords de ce rock
Qui bétonnait comme les Anglais

[Refrain]
Heartless
How could you be so heartless?
How could you be so heartless?
How could you be so heartless?

[Couplet 4]
In the night I hear them talk
The coldest story ever told
Somewhere far along this road
He lost his soul
To a woman so heartless
How could you be so heartless?

Everything Everything - Blast Doors

paradiselost 2016-05-01 | 5/12

"You say you're gonna change, but there's never enough time. You say you'll be the same, but - "

"Blast Doors" is a track from the band Everything Everything's 2015 album "Get To Heaven".

-

[Verse]
You can tell the past, boy, I can tell the future
Give me a lobotomy and I can be your tutor
Open up the blast doors, then we can be neutered
I can smell your fingerprints all over my computer

So give me all the black-brown sticky sugar water
Swing you by your neck, mama, this can be your future
Something very strange about your picture in the mirror
When you move, it doesn't move - now how could that be weirder?

Just keep on rubbernecking, yeah, whatever feels familiar
I can send my brain on a holiday forever
You can fire a rocket at a rocket, it's the future
If you weren't already dead, I wouldn't have to school ya

[Pre Chorus]
You say you're gonna change, yeah-eh
But you don't have any time, yeah-eh-eh-eh

[Chorus]
Down in my beast heart
I build an empire
Whenever I'm blind I
Open my wild eye
Down in my beast heart
I build an empire
Whenever I'm blind I
Open my wild eye

Go tell it to the plain clothed officer behind us
What are you, a master of disguise and keeping silent?
Drop another depth charge, coiling like a viper
Eyes so close together make it harder for the sniper

Shoot a starving porno for the yuppies in a circle
Second death upon you swimming backwards like a turtle
Man, I really trusted you, I thought you were civilian
I could shove a magnet in your mouth and make a million

So did you pack your bag or did somebody pack it for you?
Take me to the sad, sad, party that you're bound to
Whether you're a have not or a have I got a question
Are you living dead or is this some kind of possession?

[Pre Chorus]
You say you’re gonna change, yeah?
But you don’t have any time, yeah?

[Chorus]
Down in my beast heart
I build an empire
Whenever I'm blind I
Open my wild eye
Down in my beast heart
I build an empire
Whenever I'm blind I
Open my wild eye

[Break]
Down in my beast heart
I build an empire
Whenever I'm blind I...

I hear the death rattle of a time wasted
Time wasted, time wasted
You know that I believe in it (Time wasted)
You know that I believe in it
But I'm wasted

[Pre Chorus]
You say you’re gonna change, yeah?
But you don’t have any time, yeah?
You say you’re gonna change, yeah?
But you don’t have any time, yeah?

[Chorus]
Beast heart
Empire
Blind I
Wild eye
Down in my beast heart
I build an empire
Whenever I'm blind I
Open my wild eye
Down in my beast heart
I build an empire
Whenever I'm blind I
Open my wild eye
Down in my beast heart
I build an empire
Whenever I'm blind I..

Alessia Cara - Here

paradiselost 2016-04-01 | 4/12

This is for those who will never win a popularity contest, for those who have insecurities, for those who understand that you'll never connect with everyone, for those who stick up for their friends and for what's right. This is for the losers and the wallflowers and the misunderstood. For those who ask themselves, "what am I doing here?"

"Here" is a single from Alessia Cara's debut album Know-It-All.

-

[Intro]
I guess right now you've got the last laugh

[Verse 1]
I'm sorry if I seem uninterested
Or I'm not listenin', or I'm indifferent
Truly I ain't got no business here
But since my friends are here, I just came to kick it
But really I would rather be at home all by myself
Not in this room
With people who don't even care about my well-being
I don't dance, don't ask, I don't need a boyfriend
So you can, go back, please enjoy your party
I'll be here
Somewhere in the corner
Under clouds of marijuana
With this boy who's hollering
I can hardly hear
Over this music I don't listen to
And I don't wanna get with you
So tell my friends that I'll be over here

[Chorus]
Oh-oh-oh here, oh-oh-oh here
Oh I ask myself, what am I doin' here?
Oh-oh-oh here, oh-oh-oh here
And I can't wait 'til we can break up out of here

[Verse 2]
Excuse me if I seem a little unimpressed with this
An anti-social pessimist, but usually I don't mess with this
And I know you mean only the best
And your intentions aren't to bother me
But honestly I'd rather be
Somewhere with my people
We can kick it and just listen to
Some music with a message, like we usually do
And we'll discuss our big dreams
How we plan to take over the planet
So pardon my manners
I hope you'll understand that I'll be here
Not there in the kitchen
With the girl who's always gossiping about her friends
So tell them I'll be here
Right next to the boy who's throwin' up
Cause he can't take what's in his cup no more
Oh God why am I here?

[Chorus]
Oh-oh-oh here, oh-oh-oh here
Oh I ask myself, what am I doin' here?
Oh-oh-oh here, oh-oh-oh here
And I can't wait 'til we can break up out of here

[Bridge]
Hours later congregatin' next to the refrigerator
Some girl talkin' 'bout her haters, she ain't got none
How did it ever come to this? I shoulda never come to this
So holla at me, I'll be in the car when you're done
I'm stand-offish, don't want what you're offerin'
And I'm done talkin', awfully sad it had to be that way
So tell my people when they're ready that I'm ready
And I'm standin' by the TV with my beanie low
Yo I'll be over here

[Chorus]
Oh-oh-oh here, oh-oh-oh here
Oh I ask myself, what am I doin' here?
Oh-oh-oh here, oh-oh-oh here
And I can't wait 'til we can break up out of here

Neon Indian - Annie (VEGA: ACT ONE)

paradiselost 2016-03-01 | 3/12

ACT ONE of the upcoming short film, "VEGA".

The most important person to find is yourself.

"Annie" is a track from Neon Indian's latest album VEGA Intl. Night School.

-

Annie,
Don’t run away
where I can’t find you
the game has gone too far.

Talking
a lot of talk
playing telephone
twenty city blocks.

Annie,
they have the dossier
the investigation’s already underway.

And I tried Justine
she said to give you a ring
and I try to sleep
but all I can hear is the beep.

Answering machine
just your
answering machine.

Won’t you come and find me
Annie won’t you come and find me.

Highway Madonna
evasion is her trade
there was no other
now a shadow at her place.

With the brush you left
I comb the alleyways
I don’t miss a beat
the tableaux stays in place.

Annie,
I was closing in
but I smeared the number
walking in the rain.

The girl down the hall
she said to give you a call
and I try to sleep
but all I can hear’s the beep from your

Answering machine
just your
answering machine.

Won’t you come and find me
Annie, won’t you come and find me.

Ultraviolence // Moonlight Sonata

paradiselost 2016-02-15 | "Lay me down tonight, in my linen and pearls; lay me down tonight, Riviera girls"

The original "Ultraviolence" video was shot in summer 2014. However, the original concept of the video was abandoned due to the controversial nature of the song.

paradiselost is imagining what Del Rey's original vision of the Ultraviolence video could have been, by adapting the reused footage found in the recently released Honeymoon videos. This video also features Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata.

.

He used to call me DN
That stood for deadly nightshade
Cause I was filled with poison
But blessed with beauty and rage
Jim told me that
He hit me and it felt like a kiss
Jim brought me back
Reminded me of when we were kids

With his ultraviolence
Ultraviolence
Ultraviolence
Ultraviolence
I can hear sirens, sirens
He hit me and it felt like a kiss
I can hear violins, violins
Give me all of that ultraviolence

He used to call me poison
Like I was poison ivy
I could have died right there
Cause he was right beside me
Jim raised me up
He hurt me but it felt like true love
Jim taught me that
Loving him was never enough

With his ultraviolence
Ultraviolence
Ultraviolence
Ultraviolence
I can hear sirens, sirens
He hit me and it felt like a kiss
I can hear violins, violins
Give me all of that ultraviolence

We could go back to New York
Loving you was really hard
We could go back to Woodstock
Where they don't know who we are
Heaven is on earth
I will do anything for you, babe
Blessed is this, this union
Crying tears of gold, like lemonade

I love you the first time
I love you the last time
Yo soy la princesa, comprende mis white lines
Cause I'm your jazz singer
And you're my cult leader
I love you forever,
I love you forever

With his ultraviolence
(lay me down tonight)
Ultraviolence
(in my linen and curls)
Ultraviolence
(lay me down tonight)
Ultraviolence
(Riviera girls)
I can hear sirens, sirens
He hit me and it felt like a kiss
I can hear violins, violins
Give me all of that ultraviolence

Sufjan Stevens - The Predatory Wasp of the Palisades Is Out To Get Us!

paradiselost 2016-02-01 | 2/12

Winter is a cold and harsh time, but we're reaching the time of year where the days are beginning to lighten up and the flowers are starting to bloom. Just as the weather thaws and the landscape blooms, so can our emotions and this song beautifully depicts the blossoming of the tumultuous feelings of childhood. Have you felt it? In the wildernesses in Illinois, or the boulevards of old Los Angeles? Or in the realm of fantasy?
"Dear Mr Ground Hog, Spring is here!"

"The Predatory Wasp Of The Palisades Is Out To Get Us!" is a track from Sufjan Stevens' 2005 album "Illinois".

*

Thinking outrageously I write in cursive
I hide in my bed with the lights on the floor
Wearing three layers of coats and leg warmers
I see my own breath on the face of the door

Oh I am not quite sleeping
Oh I am fast in bed
There on the wall in the bedroom creeping
I see a wasp with her wings outstretched

North of Savanna we swim in the Palisades
I come out wearing my brother's red hat
There on his shoulder my best friend is bit seven times
He runs washing his face in his hands

Oh how I meant to tease him
Oh how I meant no harm
Touching his back with my hand I kiss him
I see the wasp on the length of my arm

Oh great sights upon this state! Hallelujah!
Wonders bright, and rivers, lake. Hallelujah!

We were in love. We were in love
Palisades! Palisades!
I can wait. I can wait
[Backing - Simultaneous to above]
Trail of Tears and Horseshoe Lake. Hallelujah

We were in love. We were in love
Palisades! Palisades!
I can wait. I can wait
[Backing - Simultaneous to above]
Trusting things beyond mistake. Hallel-

We were in love. We were in love
Palisades! Palisades!
I can wait. I can wait

We were in love. We were in love
Palisades! Palisades!
I can wait. I can wait
[Backing - Simultaneous to above]
Lamb of God, we sound the horn. Hallelujah!

We were in love. We were in love
Palisades! Palisades!
I can wait. I can wait
[Backing - Simultaneous to above]
Unto us your ghost is born. Hallel-

I can't explain the state that I'm in
The state of my heart, he was my best friend
Into the car, from the back seat
Oh, admiration in falling asleep
All of my powers, day after day
I can tell you, we swaggered and swayed
Deep in the tower, the prairies below
I can tell you— the telling gets old

Terrible sting and terrible storm
I can tell you the day we were born
[Backing - Simultaneous to above]
Oh great sights upon this state! Hallelujah!

My friend is gone, he ran away
I can tell you, I love him each day
[Backing - Simultaneous to above]
Wonders bright, and rivers, lake. Hallelujah!

Though we have sparred, wrestled and raged
I can tell you I love him each day
[Backing - Simultaneous to above]
Trail of Tears and Horseshoe Lake. Hallelujah

Terrible sting, terrible storm
I can tell you...
[Backing - Simultaneous to final stanza]
We were in love. We were in love
Palisades! Palisades!
I can wait. I can wait
[Backing - Simultaneous to final stanza]
Trusting things beyond mistake. Hallelu-

Grimes - Genesis

paradiselost 2016-01-01 | 1/12

Time runs universally, regardless of location or period, be it Hollywood in the 1940s, Christmas lights in eighties London, or an old cabaret show in Paris. But you might notice that time stops only for the purest of smiles. This video is a tribute to the human smile. The passage of time feels so pertinent right now. Where has our time gone? What next? Am I wasting my time? It's easy to get caught up in introspection and doubt. And it's easy to feel as if life is falling apart. But if you can't stop, smile as you go under. Just remember to smile. I wish all of you the very best that 2016 can offer.

Genesis is a single from Grimes' critically acclaimed album Visions.

Tame Impala - Let It Happen

paradiselost 2015-11-01 | IT'S ALWAYS AROUND ME, ALL THIS NOISE
BUT NOT REALLY AS LOUD AS THE VOICE SAYING
LET IT HAPPEN, LET IT HAPPEN (IT'S GONNA FEEL SO GOOD)
JUST LET IT HAPPEN, LET IT HAPPEN

ALL THIS RUNNING AROUND
TRYING TO COVER MY SHADOW
AN OCEAN GROWING INSIDE
ALL THE OTHERS SEEM SHALLOW
ALL THIS RUNNING AROUND
BEARING DOWN ON MY SHOULDERS
I CAN HEAR AN ALARM
MUST BE MORNING

I HEARD ABOUT A WHIRLWIND THAT'S COMING 'ROUND
IT'S GONNA CARRY OFF ALL THAT ISN'T BOUND
AND WHEN IT HAPPENS, WHEN IT HAPPENS (I'M GONNA BE HOLDING ON)
SO LET IT HAPPEN, LET IT HAPPEN

ALL THIS RUNNING AROUND
I CAN'T FIGHT IT MUCH LONGER
SOMETHING'S TRYING TO GET OUT
AND IT'S NEVER BEEN CLOSER
IF MY TICKER FAILS
MAKE UP SOME OTHER STORY
AND IF I NEVER COME BACK
TELL MY MOTHER I'M SORRY

I WILL NOT VANISH AND YOU WILL NOT SCARE ME
TRY TO GET THROUGH IT, TRY TO BOUNCE TO IT
ALL THE WHILE THINKING I MIGHT AS WELL DO IT
THEY BE LOVIN' SOMEONE AND I'M NOT THAT STUPID
TAKE THE NEXT TICKET TO TAKE THE NEXT TRAIN
WHY WOULD I DO IT? AND YOU WANNA THINK THAT

MAYBE I WAS READY ALL ALONG
MAYBE I WAS READY ALL ALONG
MAYBE I WAS READY ALL ALONG
MAYBE I WAS READY ALL ALONG

Lyrics:
Cigarettes and tiny liquor bottles,
Just what you'd expect inside her new Balenciaga.
Vile romance, turned dreams into an empire.
Self-made success now she woes with Rockefellers.

Survival of the richest, the city's ours until the fall.
They're Monaco and Hamptons bound but we don't feel like outsiders at all.

We are the new Americana,
High on legal marijuana,
Raised on Biggie and Nirvana,
We are the new Americana.

Young James Dean, some say he looks just like his father,
But he could never love somebody's daughter.
Football team loved more than just the game
So he vowed to be his husband at the alter.

Survival of the richest, the city's ours until the fall.
They're Monaco and Hamptons bound but we don't feel like outsiders at all.

We are the new Americana,
High on legal marijuana,
Raised on Biggie and Nirvana,
We are the new Americana.

We know very well who we are, so we hold it down when summer starts.
What kind of dough have you been spending?
What kind of bubblegum have you been blowing lately?

We are the new Americana,
High on legal marijuana,
Raised on Biggie and Nirvana,
We are the new Americana.
We are the new Americana,
High on legal marijuana,
Raised on Biggie and Nirvana,
We are the new Americana.

Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
Hey hey! Give it up! We don’t matter anyway!
Boys like nasty girls! Take him on a holiday!

Know your place and
Make your face up
Pretty lips can
Make us all care

All I know is all I do
Tell me if you think it's cool
Make you happy make you melt
Fall in love with someone else

[Chorus 1]
We're all just dreamers
Living like we've won
Riding some high until we're done

[Verse 2]
Dye your hair! Tan your skin! Liposuction's really in!
Adderall! Join the fall! Do it to be beautiful!
How you talk, how you move, you know what you have to do
Hey! Hey! Hey!

Nothing left to touch or hold
Shut your mind you talk too bold
Everyday I'm someone new
I know that you feel it too

[Chorus 2]
We're all just dreamers
Living like we've won
Riding some high until we're done

Baby I feel it
Knowing when minds melt
Won't you just lie to me for good?

[Bridge]
All we know is all we do
Everybody's talking too
Start the revolution now
TV power's going down

[Chorus 2] [2x]

Know your place and
Make your face up
Pretty lips can
Make us all care

Lyrics:
I broke my bones
Playing games with you
Tired by fun
It makes me blue

Oh I, I think I’m into you
How much do you want it too?
What are you prepared to do?
I think I’m gonna make it worse
I talk to you, but it don’t work
I touch you, but it starts to hurt
What have I been doing wrong?
Tell me what it is you want
Tell me what it is you want
Tell me what it is you

Oh I think that If I had been enough for you
Would I be better?
Would I be good?
And I'll do you what you like if you’ll stay the night
You tell me you don’t think you should
You do it boy
Well love I will let you go
Love I will let you go
Love I will let you go
Love I will let you go
Oh it’s enough to feel better
If I could

I itch all night
I itch for you
You’re just my type
What’s a boy to do?

Oh I, I think I’m into you
How much do you want it too?
What are you prepared to do?
I think I’m gonna make it worse
I talk to you, but it don’t work
I touch you, but it starts to hurt
What have I been doing wrong?
Tell me what it is you want
Tell me what it is you want
Tell me what it is you

Oh I think that If I had been enough for you
Would I be better?
Would I be good?
And I'll do you what you like if you’ll stay the night
You tell me you don’t think you should
You do it boy
Well love I will let you go
Love I will let you go
Love I will let you go
Love I will let you go
Oh it’s enough to feel better
If I could

Yeah, If I had been enough for you
Would I be better?

Florence + The Machine - Cosmic Love

paradiselost 2015-07-19 | Unofficial video for the single "Cosmic Love" by Florence + The Machine, taken from the critically acclaimed record "Lungs".

*

Lyrics:
A falling star fell from your heart and landed in my eyes
I screamed aloud, as it tore through them, and now it's left me blind

The stars, the moon, they have all been blown out
You left me in the dark
No dawn, no day, I'm always in this twilight
In the shadow of your heart

And in the dark, I can hear your heartbeat
I tried to find the sound
But then it stopped, and I was in the darkness,
So darkness I became

The stars, the moon, they have all been blown out
You left me in the dark
No dawn, no day, I'm always in this twilight
In the shadow of your heart

I took the stars from my eyes, and then I made a map
And knew that somehow I could find my way back
Then I heard your heart beating, you were in the darkness too
So I stayed in the darkness with you

The stars, the moon, they have all been blown out
You left me in the dark
No dawn, no day, I'm always in this twilight
In the shadow of your heart

The stars, the moon, they have all been blown out
You left me in the dark
No dawn, no day, I'm always in this twilight
In the shadow of your heart

Lyrics:
Feelings, flash cards
Fake knife, real ketchup
Cardboard cutthroats
Cowboys of information
Pleasure dot loathing dot Huey dot Newton
Oh, it was a lonely, lonely winter

Fuckless porn sharks
Toothless but got a big bark
Live children, blind psychics
Turned online assassins
So Hale-Bopp, Hail Mary, hail Hagia Sophia
Oh it was a lonely, lonely winter

Entombed in the shrine of zeros and ones
You know, you know
With fatherless features, you motherless creatures, you know
In perpetual night, oh it's terribly frightening
You know, you know
You got the pop and the hiss in the city of misfits, you know
Safe safe and safest, faith for the faithless
Dim dim and dimmer, sucker for sinners

I'm entombed in the shrine of zeros and ones
You know, you know
With fatherless features, you motherless creatures, you know
In perpetual night, oh it's terribly frightening
You know, you know
You got the pop and the hiss in the city of misfits
Safe safe and safest, faith for the faithless

Lyrics:
We both know that it's not fashionable to love me
But you don't go cause truly there's nobody for you but me
We could cruise to the blues
Wilshire Boulevard if we choose
Or whatever you want to do
We make the rules

Our honeymoon
Our honeymoon
Our honeymoon

Say you want me too
Say you want me too
Dark blue
Dark blue

We both know the history of violence that surrounds you
But I'm not scared, there's nothing to lose now that I've found you
And we could cruise to the news
Pico blvd in you used little bullet car if we choose

Mr. Born to lose

Our honeymoon
Our honeymoon
Our honeymoon

Say you want me too
Say you want me too
Dark blue
Dark blue

There are violets in your eyes
There are guns that blaze around you
There are roses in between my thighs and fire that surrounds you
It's no wonder every man in town had neither fought nor found you

Everything you do is elusive to even your honey dew

Our honeymoon
Our honeymoon
Our honeymoon

Dreaming away your life
Dreaming away your life
Dreaming away your life
Dreaming away your life
Dreaming away your life
Dreaming away your life

Lyrics:
Looking up from underneath
Fractured moonlight on the sea
Reflections still look the same to me
As before I went under

And it's peaceful in the deep
Cathedral where you cannot breathe
No need to pray, no need to speak
Now I am under all

And it's breaking over me
A thousand miles down to the sea bed
Found the place to rest my head
Never let me go
Never let me go
Never let me go
Never let me go

And the arms of the ocean are carrying me
And all this devotion was rushing out of me
And the crashes are heaven for a sinner like me
But the arms of the ocean delivered me

Though the pressure's hard to take
It's the only way I can escape
It seems a heavy choice to make
And now I am under all

And it's breaking over me
A thousand miles down to the sea bed
Found the place to rest my head
Never let me go
Never let me go
Never let me go
Never let me go

And the arms of the ocean are carrying me
And all this devotion was rushing out of me
And the crashes are heaven for a sinner like me
But the arms of the ocean delivered me

And it's over
And I'm going under
But I'm not giving up
I'm just giving in

I'm slipping underneath
So cold and so sweet

And the arms of the ocean so sweet and so cold
And all this devotion I never knew at all
And the crashes are heaven for a sinner released
And the arms of the ocean delivered me
Never let me go
Never let me go
Never let me go
Never let me go
Deliver me
Never let me go
Never let me go
Never let me go
Never let me go
Deliver me
Never let me go
Never let me go
Never let me go
Never let me go
Deliver me
Never let me go
Never let me go
Never let me go
Never let me go

And it's over
(Never let me go, Never let me go)
And I'm going under
(Never let me go, Never let me go)
But I'm not giving up
(Never let me go, Never let me go)
I'm just giving in
(Never let me go, Never let me go)

I'm slipping underneath
(Never let me go, Never let me go)
So cold and so sweet
(Never let me go, Never let me go)

*

Lyrics:

Lay dagger dead inside a lonely bed
Trying to hide the hole inside my head
Watching the stars slide down to reach the end
Cause sleep is not my friend

Drinking champagne to forget yesterday
Coz I remember, the way, the way, the way
It ended the day, the day, the day, the day
That I walked away, away, away, away

[Chorus:]
Drinking champagne, made by the angel
Who goes by the name of Glittering Gabriel
Drinking champagne made of an angel's
Tears and pain, but I feel celestial

Elderly stars slide down the morning sky
Slipping away to find a place to die
I wonder when the night will reach it's end
Cause sleep is not my friend

Drinking champagne, meant for a wedding
Toast to the bride, a fairytale ending
Drinking champagne, a bottle to myself
Savour the taste of fabricated wealth

[Chorus repeat]

Celestial [x4]

[Chorus repeat - x2]

Lana Del Rey - Cola (with Monologue)

paradiselost 2015-07-02 | Unofficial fan video for the song "Cola" by Lana Del Rey, taken from her EP Paradise.

*
Monologue:

With music strong I come
With my cornets and my drums
I play not marches for accepted victors only
I play great marches for conquered and slain persons.
Have you heard there was good to gain the day?
I also say it is good to fall, battles are lost in the same
spirit in which they are won.
I beat and pound for the dead
I blow through my embouchures
my loudest and gayest for them.

Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
My pussy tastes like Pepsi cola
My eyes are wide like cherry pies
I gots a taste for men who are older
It’s always been, so it’s no surprise

[Pre-Hook]
Harvey's in the sky with diamonds and he’s making me crazy
(I come alive, alive)
All he wants to do is party with his pretty baby

[Hook]
Come on baby, let’s ride
We can escape to the great sunshine
I know your wife and she wouldn't mind
We made it out to the other side
We made it out to the other side
We made it out to the other side

[Verse 2]
I fall asleep in an American flag
I wear my diamonds on Skid Row
I pledge allegiance to my dad
For teaching me everything he knows

[Pre-Hook]

[Hook]

[Bridge]
Drugs suck it up like vanilla icys
Don’t treat me rough, treat me really niceys
Decorate my neck
Diamantes ices

[Hook 2x]

Lyrics:
When we first came here
We were cold and we were clear
With no colours in our skin
We were light and paper thin

And when we first came here
We were cold and we were clear
With no colours on our skin
'Til we let the spectrum in

Say my name
And every colour illuminates
We are shining
And we will never be afraid again

Say my name
As every colour illuminates
We are shining
And we will never be afraid again

Say my name
As every colour illuminates
We are shining
And we will never be afraid again

And when we come for you
We'll be dressed up all in blue
With the ocean in our arms
Kiss your eyes and kiss your palms

And when it's time to pray
We'll be dressed up all in grey
With metal on our tongues
And silver in our lungs

Say my name
And every colour illuminates
We are shining
And we will never be afraid again

Say my name
As every colour illuminates
We are shining
And we will never be afraid again

Say my name
As every colour illuminates
We are shining
And we will never be afraid again

And when we come back we'll be dressed in black
And you'll scream my name aloud
And we won't eat and we won't sleep
We'll drag bodies from a ground

So say my name
And every colour illuminates
And we are shining
And we'll never be afraid again

Say my name
As every colour illuminates

Say my name
As every colour illuminates
We are shining
And we will never be afraid again

Say my name
As every colour illuminates
We are shining
And we will never be afraid again

Say my name
We are shining
Say my name
Say my name
And we will never be afraid again

Lyrics:
She told me not to step on the cracks
I told her not to fuss and relax
Well, her pretty little face stopped me in my tracks
But now she sleeps with one eye open
That's the price she paid

I took a knife and cut out her eye
I took it home and watched it wither and die
Well, she's lucky that I didn't slip her a smile
That's why she sleeps with one eye open
That's the price she paid

I said, hey, girl with one eye
Get your filthy fingers out of my pie
I said, hey, girl with one eye
I'll cut your little heart out cause you made me cry

I slipped my hand under her skirt
I said don't worry, it's not gonna hurt
Oh, my reputation's kinda clouded with dirt
That's why you sleep with one eye open
That's the price you paid

I said, hey, girl with one eye
Get your filthy fingers out of my pie
I said, hey, girl with one eye
I'll cut your little heart out cause you made me cry

You made me cry
You made me cry
You made me cry

I said, hey, girl with one eye
Get your filthy fingers out of my pie
I said, hey, girl with one eye
Get your filthy fingers out my pie

I said, hey, girl with one eye
Get your filthy fingers out of my pie
I said, hey, girl with one eye
I'll cut your little heart out cause you made me cry
