Go To Hell For Heaven's Sake - A Playlist

I'm in the best mood today *raising my sarcasm sign*, so I felt like doing a nice little playlist for everybody who pisses me off and who pisses my readers off. Let's kick some asses!

Bring Me The Horizon - Go To Hell, For Heaven's Sake

The title speaks for itself, I suppose; I chose this video because a) I couldn't find the album version and b) I was there and it was awesome. 

Bring Me The Horizon - Antivist

Middle fingers up, if you don't give a fuck!! Also this song contains so many swear words to scream that you'll immediately feel better. 

Bullet For My Valentine - Leech

Hey, leech, no longer will you suck my blood, you can't keep away, you need another taste.
Hey, leech, you think that you are here to stay, you can't keep away, you need another taste.


This one is for our whole generation, especially for those who are so brave and cyber bully others. 


Austin (or whoever wrote this song), is better with words than I am, so I'm just gonna quote again: "For every backstabbing lie and the whispers, I'll shove this down your throat!"
I can only recommend to sing/scream/yell along. 


Gather around children, I'd like to tell you a story. In my last year at secondary school, I had one friend. We were close, it was great, I really liked her, I thought she'd like me, too. I was pretty unstable around the time of final exams, I made it through somehow when suddenly this girl stopped talking to me. I tried talking to her but she always ran away until I called her and asked what her problem was. The reply I got was the following: "You're so depressed, I can't do this anymore."
Well, you know, good thing that you never walked a single mile in my shoes, so of course to you, my time at school didn't seem as horrible as I experienced it. That's okay though, fuck you. :-) 


When I find myself in times of trouble, mother Hayley comes to me, speaking words of wisdom: "Fall in love with yourself because someday you're gonna be the only one you've got."
It's sad enough that she's completely right with this. Sooner or later, everybody's gonna leave you, apparently that's how life works. 


So sick of playing, I don't want this anymore. The thought of you is no fucking fun, you want a martyr, I'll be one because enough's enough we're done!


It took me quite a long time to learn that you can't force people to stay. If they don't want to be your friend anymore, alright. If they want to go, let them go. In 99% of all cases you're better off without them and in a couple of years you'll look back and think "Thank God I got rid of that *insert whatever you like*"


Because no matter how many people I will meet in my life, I will always make the same mistakes and trust the wrong ones.

Sometimes You Gotta Fall Before You Fly - S like Sleeping With Sirens



Do you know this weird but awesome feeling in your chest when you discover new music and you start loving it in the first second? When you just know that this will be one of your favourite bands even though you only listened to one song so far? When I found Sleeping With Sirens, I was about to hit rock bottom, I was really upset all the time and Kellin was the one who could sing me to sleep when nobody else could. I remember finding their cover of Iris [x] and listening to it over and over again while I cried over everything that went wrong back then. I always used to swallow all the things that hurt me or upset me, I used to take all of it out on myself. However, then bands came along - they make me cry on a regular basis and I realised that crying is much more relieving than anything else I used to do. 

When I listened to Sleeping With Sirens for the first time I knew nothing about the members. I didn't know that Justin has a shark tattooed on his hand, I didn't know that Jesse used to have long hair, I didn't (and still don't) know why they make fun of Gabe literally all the time and I didn't know that Kellin is a guy (sorry Kellin, that's very embarrassing). The only thing I knew was that this band would be good for me and looking back to this moment I can definitely say that I was right.
When I'm happy, I celebrate with Postcards And Polaroids, when I need to cheer up I listen to Who Are You Now, when I can't sleep I listen to If You Were A Movie, This Would Be Your Soundtrack. There's at least one song for every mood I could possibly be in. Who Are You Now is the most special one for me though, it just describes me like no other song does. I even consider getting "Sometimes you gotta fall before you fly" tattooed somewhere - I swear to God one day I'll be covered in lyrics because there are so many great ones out there.
Anyway, I really hope I'll get the chance to see Sleeping With Sirens soon because they make me laugh when I want to cry, they calm me down when I'm upset, they're there when I need them so I feel the need to thank them personally. 


Is Sleeping With Sirens one of your favourite bands? Share your story in the comments below, I'm curious to read what you have to say!

Run Away, Baby - A Playlist

Most of the time I'm like the laziest person ever but all of a sudden I get the urge to look for my running shoes and go out for a run. If you need a soundtrack that can push you a little, here it is: 


I always start with this song, I don't even know why. Maybe because it sounds dramatic enough for the fact that I finally go on a run again or maybe because it's just a damn good song. 


Because obviously I'm on a good way to be breathless by the time this song is over. 


Usually when I go on a run, I'm angry because of something. And when I'm angry, I listen to Bring Me The Horizon. 


More angry songs, yaay! 


Fun fact: that's the first song I ever heard of them and it's freakin' awesome.


King For A Day is the perfect song because it fits to so many occasions and it definitely fits to a run. 


There's no certain reason why it's on the list, I just like it a lot. 


Okay so I'd stop here because I'm not in shape at all, for those of you who actually are in shape, I have some more songs I find appropriate:

I'm Walking On Sunshine - A playlist to celebrate good mood

You guys seemed to like the last playlist and the weather is fantastic today so I thought I could do a playlist for good mood.


One of the reasons why I love All Time Low so much is their talent of making music for every possible situation in life. No matter what occasion, there's always at least one of their songs that fits. 


Probably the best song on Don't Panic and one of their best songs in general.


There's no way to leave out Fall Out Boy on this playlist and if you don't get in a good mood while listening to this song I don't know what else I could do for you. 


This song is always a win, isn't it. 


My absolute favourite song on their new album, I don't even know what to say about it. 


Well, the title speaks for itself, doesn't it. It's one of my favourite songs MCR ever made, it makes me think of all the great moments summer has to offer and all the great moments MCR had to offer (meh, past tense, I'm still not over it). 


At least once a week you should go crazy, jump through your room or flat or wherever you feel like and just don't give a shit. I highly recommend to listen to this song as loud as possible then.


This song has something I can't really describe but it makes me feel very good, so. 


Get in a car, open all the windows, put this song on and fucking sing. 


Okay, I admit it. You Me At Six are on a good way to take over the part of my life which other bands haven't taken over yet but this song is fantastic anyway. 


I'm deeply in love with this band and I can't choose a favourite song but this one is damn good. 


Okay I lied, this is my favourite WATIC song. 


The playlist started with All Time Low so I thought it might be cool to end it with this song instead of the original version. 


I hope you enjoy this playlist as much as you enjoyed the last one!

Music is cheaper and sometimes more effective than therapy

Today I want to show you my playlist for moments when I have troubles coping with my mind, unfortunately today is one of those days, so let's go. 

Of Mice & Men - Second & Sebring

As you may know I got the lyrics of the chorus tattooed on my arm for several reasons. First of all to cover up some stuff I didn't want to see anymore but mostly because I'm so thankful to have this band in my life. Second & Sebring is probably the most special song I know, it's so powerful, emotional and contains a very important message. 




Of Mice & Men - The Great Hendowski


Read this book, you were meant to live
It all means so much to me
But note what's written in red
It says…
It speaks of hope, trust, and love,
The fear of never being good enough
We are all made the same
I know it's tough, but please don't give up
Don't speak that way, 'cause I won't allow you
You're too young to live this way
Just close your eyes and see
The true meaning
You're too young to live this way
Just look around and see
That life is beauty.

I don't think I have to say more, do I. 



In my opinion this is the best song they wrote so far, I don't know what else I should say about it, it's just brilliant.


This is one of the songs that makes me feel like I'm floating around, like everything's gonna be okay after all. 


Yeeeeah, I like torturing myself with songs like this one. Listen to the Straight To DVD version, it definitely kicks you in the guts, especially when Juliet Simms' part starts. I don't really know why I listen to this when I'm sad anyway but sometimes you just need to cry a little, right? (If you say this doesn't make you tear up, you're a liar or plain weird.)


Sometimes all you need is Oli screaming into your ears. The louder you turn up the volume, the faster the voices in your mind shut up. 


Another song I sometimes cry over. Oli sounds so desperate and sad that I just wanna hug him and tell him that it'll be fine but then again this song contains lyrics I'd paint on the walls in my room or print on a shirt and wear it on bad days or even ink it on my body: "We all have our horrors and our demons to fight but how can I win when I'm paralyzed? They crawl up on my bed, wrap their fingers round my throat, is this what I get for the choices that I made?"Guess I don't have to mention how perfect Lights' voice is and how perfect it fits to the song. 


Tony Perry is a damn fine guitarist, that's something you can't only tell from this song, but I love blocking out Vic and only concentrate on the guitars. That's a) really nice to get your mind off the stupid thoughts and b) awesome because as I said Tony is awesome. 


After King For A Day my favourite song on Collide With The Sky and definitely one of my favourite PTV songs in general. 


I'm so proud to be able to sing along to this freakin' song, it took me forever and my voice can't keep up with Kellin anyway but it's definitely fun. The person who decided to let Vic and Kellin sing together deserves an award and I really hope they'll do this again soon!


Well, what can I say... huge thanks to Pierce The Veil for writing this song, I lost count of the times it helped me more than any other song, especially this part: "If I were you, I'd put that away. See you're just wasted and thinking bout the past again, darling you'll be okay."
Yes, I will be okay. It took me a while to realise that and sometimes I don't really believe it but yes. 
(No offense but I prefer the version with Jenna McDougall from Tonight Alive: [x]


Don’t wake me up if I’m sleeping this life away 
Tell me that I’ll never be good enough 
Sometimes it hurts to think it could really be that way 
It won’t be that way

I’m tired and I’m lost 
I don’t wanna be found 
I put my heart and my soul 
And strength in this now

So forgive me ‘cause I won’t forget that 
Yeah, this world has changed me 
So you know when you ask me

Who are you now? 
Did you say what you want? 
Don’t go back to the start 
I’m asking, who are you now? 
Did they break you apart? 
Won’t you fight back for what you want?

Sometimes you gotta fall before you fly 
We’re gonna work it out.

I'm considering "Sometimes you gotta fall before you fly" as my next tattoo, the rest of the lyrics isn't less accurate and sometimes it scares me how much lyrics fit to my situation. 


I don't even know what to say about this one, Josh is one of my favourite vocalists on the planet and this song is just pure brilliance and I know this sounds exaggerated but I love it more than coffee and just okay. 


The song that made me fall in love with You Me At Six. There are days when I don't do anything else than listening to it and I don't seem to get tired of it, it's just good for my soul. 


Stop blending in and start speaking out! 
You'll never know what you can do if you don't try now. 
Lift up your eyes discouraged one. 
Keep moving forward 'til your battles have been won.

They say you were created to do great things, 
But words only come to life when you believe. 
Stop blending in. Start speaking out! 
Don't miss your opportunity.


You know, when you don't hear encouraging words like these from people around you, you stick to lyrics like the ones above. These are the things that keep me going, that keep me chasing my dreams (by the way you support this dream if you're reading this right now so thank you so much!!) and that help me focusing instead of giving up.


Looks like this is my longest blog post ever, it would be super awesome if you guys could leave a comment, throw your opinions at me and I'll bake cookies for you (no seriously, let me know if this playlist helped you or if you want me to do more playlists in the future, JUST FINALLY TALK TO ME OKAY THANKS!)
