So I was sitting at my job, staring at web pages (Yes, I got paid to do that last summer. Thank you Intracorp). And I said to myself, Alla, as much as people might enjoy reading about what courses you're taking next semester, don't you think you should provide some better/more useful content for the faceless masses? And then, I replied, yes, of course, but it should also entertain me, because, after all, I'm doing this for myself. And so I present:

Some Scary Obsessive Lyrics from Alla's CD Collection

For quite some time I've noticed that my CD's contain tons of disturbing lyrics. They profess love, but there's something slightly ... off about them. Not that there's anything wrong with that, in fact, I enjoy them a lot, but wouldn't it be even better to combine them? Imagine if you will, a long letter composed of these beauties, in no particular order. Or mounds of notebooks containing nothing but these lyrics (written in very small cramped handwriting, much like Seven). Terrifying, eh?

 
through every forest, above the trees 
within my stomach, scraped off my knees 
i drink the honey inside your hive 
you are the reason i stay alive 
"closer" nine inch nails
devil and the deep blue sea behind me 
vanish in the air you'll never find me 
i will turn your face to alabaster 
when you find your servant is your master 
and you'll be wrapped around my finger 
you'll be wrapped around my finger 
"wrapped around your finger" the police
cause nothing stands between us here 
and i won't be denied 
and i would be the one 
to hold you down 
kiss you so hard 
i'll take your breath away 
and after, i'd wipe away the tears 
just close your eyes, dear... 
"possession" sarah mclachlan
...I will pray for you 
I will pray for you 
I will sell my soul for something pure and true 
someone like you 

see your face every place that I walk in 
hear your voice every time that I'm talking 
you will believe in me 
and I will never be ignored 

I will burn for you 
feel pain for you 
I will twist the knife and bleed my aching heart 
and tear it apart... 

"#1 crush" garbage
you know what i need 
when my heart bleeds 
i suffer from greed 
a longing to feed 
on the mercy in you 
    "mercy in you" depeche mode
oh, i do not fear you 
and "slave" i only use 
as a word to describe the special way
i feel for you
    "my curse" the afghan whigs
    i am lost
    so i am cruel
    but i'd be love and sweetness
    if i had you

      "milk" garbage
       
       
       

and though you hold the keys to ruin
of everything i see
with every prison blown to dust,
my enemies walk free
though all my kingdoms turn to sand
and fall into the sea
i'm mad about you
i'm mad about you
"mad about you" sting
