3. Lyrics

Written by Post Comment

Personally, I love searching for inspiration in lyrics and images, and so I've created this post in hopes of sparking creativity in others. I've included some of my favorite lyrics from the Blue Neighbourhood album by my absolute favorite artist, Troye Sivan.

Trying hard not to fall
On the way home
You were trying to wear me down
Kissing up on fences
And up the wall
On the way home
I guess it's all working out, now
OR
White noise in my mind
Won't calm down
You're all I think about
Running on the music
And night highs
But when the light's out
It's me and you now, now

You can coax the cold right out of me
Drape me in your warmth

Oh, our lives don't collide, I'm aware of this
The differences and impulses and your obsession with
The little things, you like stick, and I like aerosol
OR
I see swimming pools and living rooms and aeroplanes
I see a little house on the hill and children's names
I see quiet nights poured over ice and Tanqueray
But everything is shattering and it's my mistake

I'm down to my skin and bone
And my mommy, she can't put down the phone
And stop asking how I'm doing all alone, alone
But the truth is the stars are falling, ma
And the wolves are out c-calling, ma
And my home has never felt this far

This separation,
time and space between us
For some revelation
You didn't care to discuss
I'd rather be black and blue
Than accept that you withdrew

When we tried it, we were a fire with no smoke
Rags to riches but I'm addicted to being broken
Take my breath away, you know I'm bound to choke
When I close my eyes I still see your ghost
OR
'Distance makes the heart grow fonder'
Said by someone stronger than me
So what do I do now?
Do now?
So what do I do now?
I don't keep love around anymore

I wanna sleep next to you
But that's all I wanna do right now
So come over now and talk me down
I wanna hold hands with you
But that's all I wanna do right now
And I wanna get close to you
Cause your hands and lips still know their way around
And I know I like to draw that line, when it starts to get too real
But the less time that I spend with you, the less you need to heal

Pools and swimming
Drinks in bars and
Boys in cars and
Rooftop sinning
Skinny dipping
Shooting stars
With fat cigars
OR
I'm a spark and you're a boom
What am I supposed to do?

The truth runs wild
Like a tear down a cheek
Trying to save face, and daddy heart break
I'm lying through my teeth
This voice inside
Has been eating at me
Trying to replace the love that I fake
With what we both need
The truth runs wild
Like kids on concrete
Trying to sedate my mind in its cage
And numb what I see
Awake, wide eyed
I'm screaming at me

'Cause we've no time for getting old
Mortal bodies, timeless souls
Cross your fingers, here we go
Oh, oh, oh
And when the lights start flashing like a photo booth
And the stars exploding
We'll be fireproof
My youth
My youth is yours
Trippin' on skies, sippin' waterfalls

Yeah, we knew from the beginning
That this wasn't never ending
Shouldn't stay too long
'Cause we're both too young
To give into forever
I say I wanna settle down
Build your hopes up like a tower
I'm giving you the run around
I'm just a lost boy
Not ready to be found
Not ready to be found
I'm just a lost boy
So what are you waiting for?
'Cause someone could love you more
But we both are light weights
Yeah we get off our face, too easy
And we take jokes way too far
'Cause sometimes living's too hard
We're like two halves of one heart
You don't have to say, "I love you," to say I love you
Forget all the shooting stars and all the silver moons
We've been making shades of purple out of red and blue
Sickeningly sweet like honey, don't need money
All I need is you

Yeah, it seems I'm never letting go
Of suburbia
Swallow nostalgia
Chase it with lime
Better than dwelling
And chasing time
Missing occasions
I can't rewind
Can't help but feel I've lost what's mine
Yeah, there's so much history in these streets
And mama's good eats
Oh Wonder on repeat
There's so much history in my head
The people I've left
The ones that I've kept
https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=images&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwjErfvr0-_NAhWJbB4KHXJCCzsQjRwIBw&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwifflegif.com%2Ftags%2F75277-sivan-gifs&psig=AFQjCNE9tZYAj5Rbwhajgxzj-7atsyEXsg&ust=1468472265691110

So I take a sip, wait 'til it hits
That liquid guilt is on my lips
I'm wasted on you
https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=images&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwjhrb63we_NAhXDth4KHUpGDRIQjRwIBw&url=http%3A%2F%2Fodditymall.com%2Fgalaxy-space-bath-bomb&bvm=bv.126993452,d.dmo&psig=AFQjCNGj9rXPMllHN6LJuTwRLZrt0Hwu4Q&ust=1468467282899277

All your lights are red, but I'm green to go
Used to see you high, now you're only low
All your lights are red but I'm green to go
I want you
I'll color me blue
Anything it takes to make you stay
Only seeing myself
When I'm looking up at you

https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=images&cd=&ved=0ahUKEwjfgZyBwO_NAhVJGR4KHSJOBGkQjRwIBw&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.tumblr.com%2Ftagged%2Funder-water-gif&bvm=bv.126993452,d.dmo&psig=AFQjCNFwHGqUNQXCW249r1kHn2z3F4_noQ&ust=1468466963743541&cad=rjt

I've been running, running, run
So tell me how I'm gonna get past this wave to empty swimming pools
Cause I just wanna be at the start of after loving you
I plant my feet and I clench my teeth
I can't outrun what's coming after me
So tell me how I'm gonna get past this wave to empty swimming pools
But I see a lighthouse in the distance calling my name
But I can't get there 'til I go through all of this pain
There's a glimmer of hope like an exhale of smoke in the sky
