Suffocate me
So my tears can be rain
I will water the ground where I stand
So the flowers can grow back again

- The Seed

Beautiful double meaning

I forget how emotions dance, when they aren’t inside of me, I forget how the sun feels, when she isn’t around me

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.

All that I’ve ever known is the universe is wild.

I don’t miss the sadness when it’s gone and the feeling of it makes me smile.

And then I learned the truth, how everything good in life seems to lead back to you, and every single time I run into your arms, I feel like I exist for love.

Giving into love should never hurt for me, giving into love should set me free.

You can drink, you can feast, there is beauty in your beast.

Nothing can die while we are here

Like a bird in the night your emotions deserve to be freed

I hunt the grounds for empathy and hate the way it hides from me

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

And I don’t care if you don’t understand why I cry- Forgotten Love

“…Come as you are, don’t be scared of us, you’ll be protected. I guess you are a different kind of human…/This world you live in is not a place for someone like you, come on, let us take you home.” - A Different Kind Of Human

This song speaks to me in a way no other song could.

He did it all to spare me from the awful things in life that comes

Before I make the offering, Remember all the faces that I've seen, Now all the marks have settled on my skin, From all the different places that I've been, That I've been- Lucky

"I know i can't fight the sad days and bad nights but i never asked for your help" -Cure for me

"Shout it louder , shout it higher , shout it for the ones who could never say louder , i wont feel ashamed mother , can you break the chains off her?" -blood in the wine

" i fall asleep in my own tears i cry for the world for everyone and i built a boat to float in , I'm floating away" -warrior

"Suffocate me , so my tears can be rain i will water the ground where i stand so the flowers can grow back again"-The seed

"What will you do when she drinks the sea , drown in her sorrow or let her be free , when shes upset all of her heart is cold" -Artemis

While reading all of your collection, I've realized again that she is very talented and remarkable poet. I'd proudly say I've still never found any songwriter who can reach at this peak level of songwriting.

I carry more than you see, my dreams are bigger than me.

Maybe if you can’t ask for help then I can help you outrun yourself.

So belong to us all, be a god in the shape of a girl. I beg to be drained of the pain I have soaked myself in.

"Twisted body parts moving synchronized, watching lightning strike in my lover's eyes" - gives me chills every time I hear it...

Of course the chorus to Runaway will always be iconic, but a more underrated "take me home" lyric is from This Could Be a Dream - "I know I should figure this out on my own, but if you come back, could you take me home?" It always makes me tear up 🥲

I would rather be alive with a child like soul.

I’ve seen it many times, Each time they close their eyes and say goodbye, Rest in peace and give yourself to harmony.

I can't take it anymore. Runaway, it hits hard for me.

I don’t miss the sadness when it gone

I keep the memories alive The weight upon my shoulders felt so divine With a goddess in my right eye Watching every step I take before I die -Animal, HE-LAY
