now you know there’s no light on the waves
but before i turn there’s just one last word
then i’ll try to forget you
now they say there’s no light in the caves
and we all know there’s no way out
i’ll try and forget you
but before i go i must say
that in my heart you’ll always be found
always but i’ll try to forget you
i guess i’ll forget you

— “Guess i’ll forget you” , The Black Heart Procession

“I find shelter, in this way
Under cover, hide away
Can you hear, when I say?
I have never felt this way

Maybe I had said, something that was wrong
Can I make it better, with the lights turned on…

Could I be, was I there?
It felt so crystal in the air
I still want to drown, whenever you leave
Please teach me gently, how to breathe

And I’ll cross oceans, like never before
So you can feel the way I feel it too
And I’ll mirror images back at you
So you can see the way I feel it too

Maybe I had said, something that was wrong
Can I make it better, with the lights turned on…”


“Shelter” — The XX

“…Down by the sea
Baby, watch my back
Think somebody’s following me

I feel overcome
With trying to play it dead
Feel safe that way
Is it better than displaying instead?

It was a big slip for me
To roll up my golden life
She should have saved, saved my energy

I’m awake today
So nice to see the window
Wash my dreams away
I prop myself up on my pillow

Been through shaky times
But I’m glad you found your way
There was too much panic then
From here on it’ll be straight all the way…

Changing with time
I can wait for the sign
is this right?…

…the day brings the
pride of the light…

Oh with peace comes at night
I will never break from the shadow
inside, to be blinded

Changing with time
I can wait for the sign
is this right?
is this right? “

“On the espanade” — Julian Plenti

“is it her way
is it the way she looks at you
seeing her face
as you walk through the crowded avenue
that sets you afire
remembering all you left behind
don’t fall back in line
better you let her memory die

draw strength
walk on into the night
better you try to pass her by
walk on into the night

is it too late… “
