One liner #004

Projecting violence is a sign of weakness

Chocolate and Vanilla

"Every truth has two sides; it is as well to look at both, before we commit ourselves to either" ~Aesop

"A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on." ~Winston Churchill


Often in times, you don't get a chance to hear the other side of the story.

That's when the prejudices develop. 

And a heart that is governed by prejudices is not reliable.

It breeds hatred.

But then again, how do you know which side is true when you don't even possess anything to claim the truth?

Don't be so quick to judge.

It's chocolate and vanilla. You'll get one flavor at a time or both at a time if you're lucky.

And it still wouldn't be enough for you to abhor a notion.

People always have a reason why they do what they do.

You don't have to be a cat just to kill a rat.

To what extent sacrifices have to be made to obtain justice?

Really, To what extent?

Amuse me, people! 

" Whatever happened to the values of humanity
  Whatever happened to the fairness and equality
  Instead of spreading love
  We spreading animosity
  Lack of understanding
  Leading us away from unity " (Where's The Love, BEP)

Fading Flowers

This is taken from Yuna self-titled album.

It's her US debut album (She released an EP in US before).

This is my favorite song from the album.

People are more on Lullabies but I chose this one.

Such a lovely song!



You got that walk walk walk
Got that talk talk talk
Got that swagger-er-er
Such a glamor-or-or

You're like a real life doll
With your hand that falls
Like niagara ah ahBut that don't matter-er-er

Cause that don't change the fact
that your heart is black

Cause you can't tear me down
Beat me to the ground
Try to block my sunshine my blue skies with your clouds

Who do you think you are
Yeah that won't get you far
You may think you're pretty
But you'll see that beauty is a fading flower

Fading flow-ow-ow-ower
Fading flow-ow-ow-ower
You'll only play play play
If you get your way always
In the center-er-er
Of attentio-io-ion

All the lying
And the cheating
The mistreating
How you even sleep at ni-igh-igh-ight
Blows my mi-i-i-indI wonder when you'll see
but you don't bother me

You can't tear me down
Beat me to the ground
Try to block my sunshine my blue skies with your clouds

Who do you think you are
Yeah that won't get you far
you may think you're pretty
but you'll see that beauty is a fading flower
Fading flow-ow-ow-ower
Fading flow-ow-ow-ower

I spent all of my youth
trying to be you
thought that you were special
that you're beautiful
but the more of you I see
the more I'm glad I'm me

Cause you can't tear me down
Beat me to the ground
Trying to block my sunshine my blue skies with your clouds

Who do you think you are
Yeah that won't get you far
you may think you're pretty
but you'll see that beauty is a fading flower
Fading flow-ow-ow-ower
Fading flow-ow-ow-ower


P/s: The song is super new, I couldn't find any lyrics for the song so here's my take on it.
I couldn't finish it anyway since I'm not even sure.
Even the parts I wrote are not certain.

I'll change it when I get the original lyrics. :)

--> Thanks to the Anon who left comment correcting my lyrics. As of now, I'm gonna stick with his/her version. Now the lyrics made sense to me. Thanks luv! :)

And again, huge thanks to another Anon who left comment here. I've changed my lyrics. Thanks luv. :)

--> Huge thanks to James Cobalt for correcting my lyrics. I've changes it with your version and yes, his version; it makes a lot more sense.
Thanks luv. ;)

Superstition

Do you believe in superstition?

I know every race has their own superstitious beliefs; usually passed by our ancestors.

I don't believe this kind of thing but I do believe it somehow affects us.

Yeah you know like if you broke a mirror or something, you're convinced that something bad will happen and as the day goes by, every single thing seems to be out of place. It's a mere coincidence.

But people believe it's really bad luck.

Like a placebo effect. 

It's only a mind trick.

And today, my mind plays a little trick and nah, I'm not gonna fall for it.

City

I love Sara Bareilles and she's one of the amazing singers who would just blow you away with live performances.

I've always love this song and I love the lyrics as well esp this part:

"Stealing gold from the silver they see, but it's not me"

Hit Me Like A Man

It's the title of the latest EP from The Pretty Reckless.

Well I love them and I didn't know they released a new EP up till today.

I was watching Yuna's US debut album preview by Perez Hilton in Youtube and I stumbled upon the preview of Hit Me Like A Man by The Pretty Reckless.

Taylor is just freaking amazing especially live. I wrote about her before.

She has this amazing voice.

I've listened to the whole EP and it's pretty rad..!!

I love Under The Water and Cold-Blooded.

I think The Pretty Reckless is underrated. Come on, this is such a good band.

But then again, people don't really like this kind of music.

I love them anyway. I just have a slight problem with her racy image. Other than that, I'm fine with it.

I even love their cover version of Like A Stone (Audioslave), Aerials (SOAD), Wonderwall (Oasis), and Seven Nation Army (The White Stripes).

I'm a bit bias knowing the fact that they have covered  most of my favorite songs. Hahaa




 

Long Shot

Well my life, it's a long shot. And here's one of my fav songs:



I felt it, the wire touched my neck
And then someone pulled it tighter
I never saw it coming,
I started to black out and
Then someone said good morning
I took it as a warning I should have seen it coming
So now I'll take a chance on

This thing we may have started
Intentional or not, I don't think we saw it coming
It's all adding up to something
That asks for some involvement
That ask for our commitment
I think I see it coming
If we step out of that limb

My heartbeat beats me senselessly
Why's everything got to be so intense with me
I'm trying to handle all this unpredictability
In all probability
It's a long shot, but I say why not
If I say forget it, I know that I'll regret it
It's a long shot just to beat these odds
The chance is we won't make it
But I know if I don't take it, there's no chance
'Cause you're the best I got
So take a long shot

I realize that there is all this doubting
Things we're both scared about
That we'll never see them coming
Throw caution to the wind
And we'll see which way it's blowing
And into this fully knowing
We'll never see it coming
Until it's much too close to stop

My heartbeat beats me senselessly
Why's everything got to be so intense with me
I'm trying to handle all this unpredictability
In all probability
 It's a long shot, but I say why not
If I say forget it, I know that I'll regret it
It's a long shot just to beat these odds
The chance is we won't make it
But I know if I don't take it, there's no chance
'Cause you're the best I got
So take a long shot

Oh I waited for fact to come to fiction
And you fit my description
I never saw you coming
But we'll make it

It's a long shot, but I say why not
If I say forget it, I know that I'll regret it
It's a long shot just to beat these odds
The chance is we won't make it
But I know if I don't take it, there's no chance
'Cause you're the best I got
So take a long shot

There's no chance, there's no chance
'Cause you're the best I got
It's a long shot but I say why not
If I say forget it I know that I'll regret it
It's a long shot just to beat these odds
The chance is we won't make it
But I know if I don't take it
It's a long shot but I say why not
Oh you never saw me coming

Out of the Cocoon

I have this bad habit; I tend to over-analyzed things/decisions I've made knowing that I could do better or I could have made another decision.

Do you have this? Hahaa

I'm not quite sure but as of now, I'm having second thoughts and it's irritating because you know you could do nothing to turn back time.

It's a bad habit though.

It's like why would you muse over something in the past?

Haishh..

I really hope I've made a good decision because I'm certain that it was not merely forced by desperation.

Cause you know sometimes when you're in a particular situation where you have limited choices or rather non-existence time/preference to weigh the option, you just sorta choose whatever comes in your mind or sometimes it was solely based on instinct whatsoever.

Oh wait, I don't want to be convinced otherwise. Please kill the thoughts.

Well now that I'm out of the cocoon I really hope, things will gradually get better. Soon. InsyaAllah.

I don't know what's ahead of me but I hope I'm able to embrace it with a smile; new opportunities, new challenges, new environment, new changes and everything.

Let's just face the real world. Holla!!

God, I feel old and matured somehow.

Hahaha. JK.
