"Esmerelda" lyrics
"Esmerelda"
Oh, blinded, now I see
That I could not hold you
My orange tree,
Left in the darkened room for three of us to share.
Oh, maybe you were free,
Before my blackened wing covered you,
I took the sing from your song
I made a bed,
Where you don't belong.
Oh, poor me, she fell beneath the wheels to help me up.
Black Sea, I failed to be a light you found in love.
Oh poor me, she fell beneath the wheels to help me up.
Black Sea, the monster killed the melody you loved.
Now I'm going places on my own.
Blinded, now I see
That death moves amongst us,
And with such ease the rafters surround us.
These silent beasts are hard to bear.
Lonely, oh, no not me
I have a grave to dig, fast moving feet.
You gave me light
Where it once was gone.
I made a bed,
Where you don't belong.
Poor me, she fell beneath the wheels to help me up.
Black Sea, I failed to be the light you found in love.
Oh poor me, she fell beneath the wheels to help me up.
Black Sea, the monster killed the melody you loved.
Now I'm going places on my own.

Agnes Obel - "The Curse" And the people went into their hide, they oh
From the start they didn't know exactly why, why
Winter came and made it so all look alike, look alike
Underneath the grass would grow, aiming at the sky...
RY X - "Vampires" I am the salt
You called me out
Lost in the dark
I fought your love
But I want love
Yeah our love is followed
By vampires and cold blood
I think I melted
And made me love you
Sinister heart
And...
alt-J - "Nara" Soon
I'm gonna marry a man like no other
Light the fuse, hallelujah, hallelujah
Love, love is the warmest colour
Petrol blues, hallelujah, hallelujah
Comes, saut dans le vide, my lover
In my youth...
The Paper Kites - "On The Train Ride Home" Waiting down at the station
I don’t remember
I think it was late then
Standing always so quiet
We’re like elevators
Filled up with strangers
No sound, no Hallelujahs
Still I was praying on the train...
Blanco White - "Olalla" Oh, Olalla, more than a name
Rest your eyes, and stay in the shade
You were hidin' over the hill
In a quiet never so still
From Olalla to the city lights
Somebody told me to believe in better times...
