Now I can't stand to be alone

[Born to Run]

18. Leonard Cohen - "Treaty" (2016)

 

 

Ah, they're dancing in the street

We sold ourselves for love but now we're free
I'm so sorry for that ghost I made you be
Only one of us was real

And that was me

[Born to Run]

16. Nicki Minaj - "I'm the Best" (2010)

 

All the girls will commend as long as they understand
That I'm fighting for the girls that never thought they could win
'Cause before they could begin, you told them it was the end
But I am here to reverse the curse that they live in
Got two bones to pick, I'mma only choose one
You might get addressed on the second album
Which means you can breathe 'til I mother****ing say so
To all my bad bitches: I could see your halo

[Born to Run]

15. Sia - "Chandelier" (2014)

 

 

Help me, I'm holding on for dear life
Won't look down, won't open my eyes
Keep my glass full until morning light
'Cause I'm just holding on for tonight

[Born to Run]

14. Hop Along - "How Simple" (2018)

 

 

We were covered in each other's snot
In my childhood bed
Well it seemed like we were being sweet
Her pictures of relatives

How simple my heart can be
How simple my heart can be
Frightens me

Don't worry we will both find out
Just not together

[Born to Run]

13. Taylor Swift - "All Too Well" (2012)

 

 

You used to be a little kid with glasses in a twin-sized bed

[Born to Run]

12. Car Seat Headrest - "Destroyed By Hippie Powers" (2016)

 

 

What happened to that chubby little kid who smiled so much and loved The Beach Boys?
What happened is I killed that ****er and I took his name and I got new glasses

[Born to Run]

11. Deerhunter - "Dream Captain" (2013)

 

 

I'm a poor boy from a poor family
I ain't got nobody left to take care of me
I can feel it in all my extremities
Dream captain I don't know how long I can live

 

Dream captain take me on your ship
It's my only, my only wish
I can do whatever you command
I'm a boy man, and you're a man man

[JGibson]

10. Kanye West featuring Desiigner - "Pt. 2" (2016)

 

 

Up in the mornin', miss you bad
Sorry I ain't call you back, same problem my father had
All this time, all he had, all he had
And what he dreamed, all his cash
Market crashed, hurt him bad
People get divorced for that
Dropped some stacks, pops is good
Mama passed in Hollywood
If you ask, lost my soul
Drivin' fast, lost control
Off the road, jaw was broke
'Member we all was broke
'Member I'm comin' back
I'll be takin' all the stacks, oh

[Born to Run]

9. Burial - "Come Down to Us" (2013)

 

 

Without examples, without models
I began to believe voices in my head
That I was a, a freak, that I am broken
That there is something wrong with me
That I will never be lovable

 

Years later I find the courage to admit that I am transgender
And that this does not mean that I am unlovable

 

So if this world that we imagine in this room might be used to gain access to other rooms, to other worlds, previously unimaginable

(Who are you? You should come to me)

[Born to Run]

8. Rihanna featuring Drake - "Work" (2016)

 

 

If I get another chance to
I will never, no never neglect you
I mean who am I to hold your past against you?

[Born to Run]

7. M.I.A. - "Lovalot" (2010)

 

I fight the ones that fight me
I really love a lot, I really love a lot
I really love a lot, I really love a lot
But I fight the ones that fight me

[Born to Run]

6. Fiona Apple - "Every Single Night" (2012)

 

 

The rib is the shell
And a heart is the yolk
And I just made a meal for us both to choke on

Every single night's a fight
With my brain

I just wanna feel everything

I just wanna feel everything

I just wanna feel everything

[Born to Run]

5. Vampire Weekend - "Step" (2013)

 

 

The gloves are off, the wisdom teeth are out
What you on about?
I feel it in my bones

I feel it in my bones
I'm stronger now, I'm ready for the house
Such a modest mouse
I can't do it alone

I can't do it alone

 

Wisdom's a gift, but you'd trade it for youth
Age is an honor, it's still not the truth
We saw the stars when they hid from the world
You cursed the sun when it stepped to your girl
Maybe she's gone and I can't resurrect her
The truth is she doesn't need me to protect her
We know the true death, the true way of all flesh
Everyone's dying, but girl, you're not old yet

[Born to Run]

4. Billie Eilish - "bad guy" (2019)

[Born to Run]

3. Lil Uzi Vert - "XO TOUR Llif3" (2017)

 

 

I cannot die because this my universe

[Born to Run]

2. Beyoncé - "Formation" (2016)

 

 

You know you that bitch when you cause all this conversation

[Born to Run]

1. Mount Eerie - "Now Only" (2018)

 

 

[Verse 1]
I remember looking around a hospital waiting room
Full of people all absorbed in their own personal catastrophes
All reading books like Being Mortal, all with a look in their eyes
And I remember still feeling like, "No, no one can understand"
"No, my devastation is unique"

 

[Chorus]
But people get cancer and die
People get hit by trucks and die
People just living their lives
Get erased for no reason
With the rest of us watching from the side

 

[Post-Chorus]
And some people have to survive
And find a way to feel lucky to still be alive
To sleep through the night

 

[Verse 2]
I wrote down all the details of how my house fell apart
How the person I loved got killed by a bad disease
Out of nowhere for no reason and me living in the blast zone
With our daughter and etcetera
I made these songs
And the next thing I knew I was standing in the dirt
Under the desert sky at night outside Phoenix
At a music festival that had paid to fly me in
To play these death songs to a bunch of young people on drugs
Standing in the dust next to an idling bus
With Skrillex inside and the sound of subwoofers in the distance
I had stayed up til three
Talking to Weyes Blood and Father John Misty
About songwriting in the backstage bungalows
Eating fruit and jumping on the bed like lost children
Exploding across the earth in a self-indulgent all-consuming
Wreck of ideas that blot out the stars
To be still alive felt so absurd

 

[Chorus]
People get cancer and die
People get hit by trucks and die
People just living their lives get erased for no reason
With the rest of us averting our eyes

 

[Verse 3]
When I was leaning on Skrillex's tour bus waiting for the hotel shuttle in the middle of the night
I barely knew who I was
I looked up and saw Orion wielding a club and a shield
And there you were again:
Majestic dead wife
As my grief becomes calcified, frozen in stories
And in these songs I keep singing, numbing it down
The unsingable real memories of you
And the feral eruptions of sobbing

 

[Verse 4]
These waves hit less frequently
They thin and then they are gone
You are gone and then your echo is gone
And then the crying is gone
And what is left but this merchandise?

 

[Outro]
This is what my life feels like now
Like I got abruptly dropped off by the side of the road
In the middle of a long horrible ride
In a hot van that was too full of confident chattering dudes
And the sound of tires receding
Taking in the night air I say
"Now only"

[potent]

Work is a little bit of a messy bop

Formation though is amazing and also Bad Guy and Step
