Dust And Bones

(Karianne Gabaldon)

About still being hung up on an ex; he was her everything, then he just up and left. Now it’s nothing but dust and bones.

(Verse 1) 
 
It happened one Halloween 
A haunted house 
Wanting to hold your hand but scared as a mouse. 
Heading to my living room when the lights were doused 
All I saw was you as we lied on the couch… 
 
Oh, we watched Insidious 
I lied on your lap 
Ran your fingers through my brown hair as I took a nap 
I smoked a cigarette and we had a couple of laughs 
I still see that day as if it never had passed. 
 
(PreChorus) 
 
And it’s too far gone 
And we may be over now 
Just know you were my one 
Let me take this solemn vow. 
 
(Chorus) 
 
‘Cause though we’re dust and bones, I can’t help but think I’m right 
That you would come again to my window at night. 
You’d stand there 
And I swear 
We’d be in love again 
Dust and bones. 
 
(Verse 2) 
 
Lying on my bed with that plaid shirt 
I said take it off 
So we can switch shirts, we were the same size, your shaggy hair was so soft. 
You and me dating three times on and off 
Would drive a person mad, but not me at all. 
 
And we were listening to metal 
In my bedroom 
You sleeping in my bed 
Not a single word was said. 
And then we woke up the next morning 
You woke up before me 
Watching my dad play his games 
Our true hearts they felt the same. 
 
I needed proof that you loved me  
Said you’d put no one above me 
You did wait 
And I feel XX XXXXXXX XX XXXX

Blister

By Karianne Gabaldon

This is about schizophrenia and describing it as a “blister” on one’s mind. It’s very dark, depressing you could even say, but it’s the truth. Schizophrenia is a blister.

Dear Storm

By Karianne Gabaldon

A lyric about facing your toughest storm and begging for mercy; you cannot fight this fight anymore, so you’re giving up—throwing in the towel. You just want this heavy storm to pass.

I danced for you

By Sherab Lhamo

Life is a play and each of us have a role. Much like a movie, there is a begging, a middle and an end. The end brings about goodbye for characters that we fall in love with at some point.

The QUEEN OF MY HEART

By Grace Ibe

There are times one has to choose between duty and the heart. Sometimes, one is caught between a rock and a hard place. Love can be both heaven and hell as one faces the hard choice to let go because love does not hold back.

Aufstehn

Angel In The Fire

By Stanley Chris

The song is a poetic expression of love for someone the persona thinks is the most special person to them. In Verse 1 he refers to her as "a woman like no other" (line 2) and in Verse 2 as "a woman who is more than gold" (line 2). She is a woman who has embraced him the way he is, with all his flaws and he terms her "a place where my demons are overcome" (Verse 1 line 2), and "a place where my failures are overthrown (Verse 2 line 2). She is a shoulder to lean on and is presently available during tough times as captured in the Bridge. The Chorus employs the use of Biblical allusion by referencing the story of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego and how they were supernaturally delivered from the fiery furnace by an angel of God. She apparently has an infectious smile that calms nerves with an unusual ease (Chorus line 2). The last two lines of the Chorus express the persona's commitment to abide by her until death does them apart in keeping with the vows the two had earlier taken during their wedding.
