mine is science vs. romance by rilo kiley. i've always been torn between dichotomies of life and this song represents it for the most part.


Science vs. Romance Lyrics


"i used to think if i could realize i'd die
then i would be a lot nicer
used to believe in a lot more
now i just see straight ahead

that's not to say i don't have good times
but as for my days
i spend them waiting

crash sites keep me up at night
impact division it splits in two
directly underneath you

as for those things (as for those things)
that act as markers in your life
but in between (but in between)
you can't remember
and so it seems (and so it seems)
that you've grown up and over me (up and over me)
and these silly things (these sill things)
i like to dwell on

test sites keep me up at night
chainlink and meters
i talk to you
it's cold out there
but i'm telling you
i'm lonely too

facts versus romance
you go and call yourself the boss
but we're not robots inside a grid

text versus romance
you go and add it all you want
still we're not robots inside a grid

zeros and ones"

"Take you on a cruise" - Interpol

for someone reason it touches me deeply. I feel like it's everything i wish a guy would tell me.

I'm timeless like a broken watch
And make money like Fred Astaire
I see that you've come to resist me
I'm a pitbull in time
The pretence is not what restricts me
It's the circles inside
An anatomy of kisses
And a teacher who tries
And knows how we'll disappear
Would you like to be my Missus
And a future with child
You know we can't get back from here
We can get away

Baby won't you try to find me
Baby won't you try to fight
Baby won't you try to find me
Maybe it will be alright

Along the way
Tears drown in the wake of delight
There's nothing like this built today
You'll never see a finer ship in your life
We sail today
Tears drown in the wake of delight
There's nothing like this built today
You'll never see a finer ship
Or see a better tip in your life

I am the scavenger
Between the sheets of union
Lately I can't tell for sure
whether machines turn anyone
Are you the scavenger?
Between the sheets of union
Lately I can't tell for sure
whether machines turn anyone

Lady won't you try to find me
Lady there is no need to fight
Lady won't you try to find me
Lady it will be alright

We sail today
Tears drown in in the wake of delight
There's nothing like this built today
You'll never see a finer ship in your life
Along the way
The sea will crowd us with lovers at night
There's nothing like this built today
You'll never see a finer ship
Or receive a better tip in your life

I see that you've come to resist me
I'm a pitbull in time

White Goddess, red Goddess
Black temptress of the sea, you treat me right
Black Goddess, red Goddess
White temptress of the sea, you treat me right

Oh my love is sailing to Norway.
All my love we're leaving tonight

White Goddess, black Goddess
Red temptress of the sea, you treat me right
White Goddess, red Goddess
Black Temptress of the sea, you treat me right

For me the one song that perfectly sums up my personality is Secret World by Peter Gabriel.

“Did you really think you didn’t have to choose?
That I alone could win or lose?”

‘in all the places we were hiding love,what was it we were thinking of’.it’s all about our fear of rejection or what opening up to someone can do to the present relationship.but why hide love?
it’s what we need most.what were we thinking of…….and we all walk around with these masks,keeping ourselves closed off from others,everyone afraid to show their true selves.

I love this live version from Modena, Italy that features Paula Cole on backing vocals and is the one from Secret World Live DVD.
