gentle earthquakes, aurora

      • the fascinating way you change your color / the ugly and the flawless beauty of us / with the combination of purple and pink / the only traces of our love blossoming
      • twisted body parts moving synchronized / watching lightning strike in my lover's eyes / all the flowers grow to a luscious field / all connecting love becomes a human shield

moonlight, rm

      • we need the night's scenery more than anyone else / only I can console myself, nobody else / it's okay to shed the tears / but don't you tear yourself
      • moonchild you shine / when moon rise, it's your time
      • in the moon hours, look at the night sky through the eyes of your soul / gonna show it to you, your window, your time / you know, there's a lot of thorns on that streetlight too
      • look closely at that blinking light for once / isn’t a night view such a cruel thing / a magnificent sight of somebodies’ thorns / someone will be consoled by looking at your thorns for sure

velvet green, jethro tull

      • we'll dream as lovers under the stars / of civilizations raging afar / and the ragged dawn breaks on your battle scars / as you walk home cold and alone upon velvet green

a pearl, mitski

      • it's just that I fell in love with a war / nobody told me it ended / and it left a pearl in my head / and I roll it around / every night, just to watch it glow / every night, baby, that's where I go

based on a true story, epik high

      • loss makes me selfish / just to fill up this tiny emptiness I feel / I grab hold of someone else’s emotion / and stuff them into my own heart / with this desolation and loneliness that isn’t mine / I fill up my chest and my mouth / and pretend I’m telling my own story
      • to tell you the truth, I’m scared / to feel anything that is entirely mine / even a loose strand of emotion must be cut off / because I know with even one pull / I’m a ball of thread that will fall apart

pink in the night, mitski

      • I glow pink in the night in my room / I've been blossoming alone over you / and I hear my heart breaking tonight / I hear my heart breaking tonight / Do you hear it too? / It's like a summer shower / With every drop of rain singing / "I love you, I love you, I love you / I love you, I love you, I love you / I love you, I love you, I love you"

seoul, rm

      • buses with changing landscapes even when I'm sitting still / and similar buildings actually varying a little / scent of life that could be disgusting or not / and the cold parks pretending to be warm
      • people who always have to wander / and the Han Rivers that bear too much Han / and the swings that can't look at the sky on their own / and the kids all grown up, and me who’s a little late

people scare me, epik high

      • what do you expect in this day and age, when ripe is treated as rotten? / the rice plant only gets cut when it bows down

지나가 (everythingoes) feat. nell, rm

      • it all passes / someday / for sure / certainly
      • embrace the world and suck in a breath / that prickling air that fills up your lungs says everything

forgotten love, aurora

      • I forget how emotions dance when they aren't inside of me / I forget how the sun feels when she isn't around me / and my dreams become sweeter when something is missing / I'm in love with the hunt itself / it makes me feel alive, alive
      • I release my body and there is no ghost of you inside my mind / I am moving on and thank god you let me try / you are the reason I can dance / within a fire of goodbyes, of goodbyes / I can lie in a dark room without the feeling that I'm lonely

love story feat. iu, epik high

      • when it rained, under the blanket / you hid under the roof of my body and took shelter from all the rain in the world
      • I remember everything / even my first morning without you / the moment when I finally broke down after holding it back for so long / I cried in the shower for ages / while taking your hair strands off the soap

forever rain, rm

      • when it rains I get a little feeling that I do have a friend / keeps knocking on my windows / asks me if I’m doing well
      • just like you / if I could / just knock on somewhere / if I could kiss / the whole world so hard / would someone welcome me / maybe embrace my weary body
      • please don’t ask any questions / but do keep pouring forever / I’m not lonely when you’re pouring / please stay by my side

cup of wonder, jethro tull

      • ask the Green Man where he comes from, ask the cup that fills with red / ask the old grey standing stones that show the sun it's way to bed / question all as to their ways / and learn the secrets that they hold / walk the lines of nature's palm / crossed with silver and with gold

soft universe, aurora

      • there's ice in my water / and when I drink, it cuts my tongue / there's glass on the playground / it cuts my skin when I run
      • and from the dark, into the light / I saw a stone burst into life / and in the corner of your eye / I saw a dream that never died

encore, epik high

      • misfortune and fortune’s dizzying tango / my life itself is poetry / breathing is enough to channel rimbaud

a horse named cold air, mitski

      • a lake with no fish / is the heart of a horse / named Cold Air
      • I thought I'd traveled a long way / but I had circled / the same old sin

infections of a different kind, aurora

      • and if there is a God, would we even know his name? / and if there is a God, I think he would shake his head / and turn away
      • so belong to us all / be God in the shape of a girl / who walks this world / and I beg, I beg to be drained / from the pain I have soaked myself in / so I can stay / okay, and more than okay for a while / for a while, for a while
      • infections of a different kind / the world has been attacked by our pain / if I am the world then why would I hurt / all that is living?
      • and if there is a God, would he then believe in us? / and if there is a God, I think he can’t hear all of us

the whistler, jethro tull

      • deep red are the sunsets in mystical places / black are the nights on summer-day sands / we'll find the speck of truth in each riddle / hold the first grain of love in our hands

spoiler, epik high

      • maybe this is my deserved punishment for wanting to love like the movies / I finally ask where your heart is at, and all I get is an open ending / yes, our love was twist upon twist, a series of hair-raising scenes / but even the flames of that hell was better than this burnt out purgatory / I see the end / can’t turn off the projector in my mind

tokyo, rm

      • life is a word that sometimes you cannot say / and ash is a thing that someday we all should be / when tomorrow come / how different it's going to be? / why do love and hate sound just the same to me?

it happened quiet, aurora

      • eyes blue and hollow / as it rains against their will / feathers falling out of a pillow / as if time's standing still
      • don't you speak over my voice / I will return from the shadows / and I'll bleed in your bed / turn it red / like the ground outside your window / love is wild

no different feat. yuna, epik high

      • I might not be the one / could you settle for half?

churchyard, aurora

      • words pointy like arrows / wounds no one can see / he closed all the windows / as his anger broke free / I will not remember / you as somebody nice / please, will you remember me / and cry?

first love/late spring, mitski

      • wild women don't get the blues / but I find that / lately I've been crying like a / tall child
      • and I was so young / when I behaved / twenty five

class of 2013, mitski (the entire song)

sweet dreams (tn), the shadow puppets

      • it's love like a tongue in the nostril / love like an ache in the jaw / you're the first day of spring / with a septum piercing
