Auditory Dérive

and all i can think of is the way i’m the one who charmed the one who gave up on you

Fall Out Boy – What a Catch, Donnie (Folie à Deux, 2008)

and when you’ve taken down your guard
if i could change your mind, i’d really love to break your heart
i’d really love to break your heart

Tears for Fears – Shout (Songs from the Big Chair, 1985)

i’m millions behind or light years ahead
our time is now, our time was then
and i hear your voice inside of my head but
it’s just a silhouette…

The Midnight – Light Years (ft. Nikki Flores) (Nocturnal, 2017)

(these are my old clothes)
(this is a new low)
(this is my blood flow)
(this is my headstone)

Porcupine Tree – Prodigal (In Absentia, 2002)

now if i think of a joke when i say goodbye
i put my palms on my face and pretend to cry
but i’ll laugh too fucking hard, you probably think i’m so mean
but i don’t even know you!

100 gecs – mememe (10,000 gecs, 2023)

some kind of verb, some kind of moving thing
something unseen, some hand is motioning
to rise, to rise, to rise

Soul Coughing – Super Bon Bon (Irresistible Bliss, 1996)

head. low. chin. up. blow the station up, show the nation up
situations abrupt corrupt reactions, so good fucking luck
hold tongue for passions when you get stuck
we’ve just begun to smash up the snare drum
that’s distracting the flare gun sound
but now i see clearly the scared ones run
darkness to night, it gets done

Rustic Overtones – C’mon (Viva Nueva, 2001)
