Addictions

I'm addicted to this song. The lyrics are freaking fantastic!




What I'm searching for
to tell it straight, I'm tryin to build a wall
Walking by myself
down avenues that reek of time to kill
If you see me keep going
be a pass by waver
Build me up, bring me down
just leave me out you name dropper
Stop tryin to catch my eye
I see you good you forced faker
Just make it easy
You're my enemy you fast talker

Chorus:
I can say I hope it will be worth what I give up
If I could stand up mean for all the things that I believe

What am I here for
I left my home to disappear is all
I'm here for myself
Not to know you
I don't need no one else
Fit in so good the hope is that you cannot see me later
You don't know me
I am an introvert an excavator
I'm duckin' out for now
a face in dodgy elevators
Creep up and suddenly
I found myself
an innovator

Chorus

Change, change, change,
I want to get up out of my skin
tell you what
if I can shake it
I'm 'a make this
something worth dreaming of

Santogold

I was given this cd a couple of weeks ago and I shelved it because of the excessive amount of music I already listen to on a constant basis. About a day ago, I pulled it out the archives and listen to the cd in its entirety. I have to say I was pleasantly surprised. I am not an advocate for new age 80s pop since I was an eighties baby, but Santogold receives major love. Her writing is fantastic and the beats are "hot lava" so I find myself listening to it on repeat. Ironically, I saw her on a Converse commercial for the first time today and I like that song too (which is not featured on the album). I have to say that if you have a chance listen to the album, you might enjoy yourself a lil too much...lol
