One of the things I really like about emo music are their beautiful lyrics. This is a classic from Mayday Parade!
It all goes back to the first kiss
It was the one I thought I'd never miss
Maybe we were one of the lucky ones
Maybe I'm just not quite strong enough
This was supposed to be the easy part
But breaking down is what I found hard
Now I'm wearing this smile that I don't believe in
Inside I feel like screaming
She gave me every reason to believe I'd found the one
But my doubts somehow they sold me out
I'm bruised and scarred
Save me from this broken heart
All my love will slowly fade and fall apart
Someone please, sing this lovesick melody
Call my name if you're afraid, I'm just a kiss away ♪ ♫ ♪
Love this track. The tone, the lyrics, the feels, this is what makes emo music great. This one though came out in 2018. This is what grown up emo music sounds like. That's to say, it's still pretty good.
Now my blood turns red to blue
And I can't breathe without you
Now my blood turns red to blue
My blood turns red to blue
And I can't breathe without you
No, I can't breathe, no, I can't breathe
If I pinch myself so that I wake
That means it never really happened
'Cause I can feel my tears finding their way
I fear it's worse than I imagined
But I'll hold this memory
And I swear I won't forget your face
'Cause pictures always seem to fade away ♪ ♫ ♪
Still a really, really good acoustic track from Mayday Parade.
So I'll sing a melody
And hope to God she's listening
Sleeping softly while I sing
And I'll be your memories
Your lullaby for all the times
Hoping that my voice could get it right
Could get it right ♪ ♫ ♪
Ridiculously long title, but still a very good song.
And I'll be here by the ocean
Just waiting for proof that there's sunsets and silhouette dreams
All my sand castles fall like the ashes of cigarettes
And every wave drags me to sea
I could stand here for hours
Just to ask God the question, “Is everyone here make-believe?”
With a tear in His voice, He says, “Son, that's the question.”
Does this deafening silence mean nothing to no one but me? ♪ ♫ ♪
Closing out the day with this classic emo track from Mayday Parade.
Too late, I'm sure and lonely
Another night, another dream wasted on you
Just be here now against me
You know the words, so sing along for me, baby
For heaven's sake I know you're sorry
But you won't stop crying
This anniversary may never be the same
Inside I hope you know I'm dying
With my heart beside me
In shattered pieces that may never be replaced
And if I died right now you'd never be the same
I can't forget you
I know you want me to want you, I want to
But I can't forget you
So when this is over don't blow your composure, baby
I can't forget you
I know you want me to want you, I want to ♪ ♫ ♪
We tried to fight for what we thought that we believed in
Maybe it was all for nothing (I bet that it was all for nothing)
So we drive 'cause we like to be alone
There's nowhere for us to go
There's nowhere for us to go
How can you think that any of this was easy
With all the friends I've lost along the way?
When this is over, we're all getting older now
And we all play a part in it
Innocence is falling, can you hear them calling now?
But I'll be by your side until the end ♪ ♫ ♪
Damn, this song is deep. Another great one from Mayday Parade.
Someone help me
'Cause the memory
Convinced itself to tear me apart
And it's gonna succeed before long
This is the memory
This is the curse of having
Too much time to think about it
It's killing me
This is the last time
This is my forgiveness
This is endless
This is endless
She is everywhere I go
Everyone I see
But these clouds won't leave ♪ ♫ ♪
You were so cynical the last time that I saw you
And I thought, that's what a real grown up looks like
You were happy once but that was such a long time ago now
Gravity took something from your life
And I thought back to the years that we played baseball
How I tried but I struck out so many times
But then once I hit the ball and it sailed over the fence
Yeah, I felt my gut all filled up with pride
So take me back to Sunnyland
So I can find the light again
So take me back to Sunnyland
So I can find the light again ♪ ♫ ♪
Really good cover of Further Seems Forever's “New Year's Project”
And you were the outline
Of everything you would become
The keeper of these hands
To hold you now
It is a far cry
More than anything that I deserve
I'm waiting to give you whatever the world may bring
I'd give you my life cause I don't own anything
It seemed like the bottom was all that I had until now
I'd give you my life, if you'd give me yours somehow
