All Time Low - Tidal Waves



Lyrics:

Falling on my face again
So I know I'm right on track
It's hard for me to make amends
When you stabbed me in the back

Sailing on, to another sorry shore
Talking shit, say I'm your filthy little, filthy little

Like I just happen to be
In the right place, right time
To settle down

I earned my place with the tidal waves
I can't escape this feeling
That something's ain't right
I caught my name
As I crash the gates
So I can't escape this feeling
Something's ain't right
Why don't you think before you speak
Coz you don't know me at all....
You don't know me at all...

Tell me how you really feel
Write it on the bathroom wall
If anyone was watching, I know you'd say nothing at all
Treading water, yeah you're angry and you're bored
I'm sick of this
I'm just your filthy little, filthy little

Like I just happen to be
At the right place right time
Oh, would you settle down?

I earned my place with the tidal waves
I can't escape this feeling
That something's ain't right
I caught my name
As I crash the gates
So I can't escape this feeling
Something's ain't right
Why don't you think before you speak
Coz you don't know me at all....

Spread your lies
Like fireflies
In a white hot summer
Tryin' to pull me under
You shot the words
To use like knives
When you lose your color
There'll be nothing left

I earned my place with the tidal waves
I can't escape this feeling
That something's ain't right
I caught my name
As I crash the gates
So I can't escape this feeling
Something's ain't right
Why don't you think before you speak
Coz you don't know me at all....
You don't know me at all...
You don't know me at all...
You don't know me at all...

You don't know me at all

Do you ever have trouble telling right from left?

I've always had this problem, so it's not really surprising to me that it took me more than twice as long to try the right/left set than the up/down set.

What to do:

  1. When you're ready, click on 'go to the first test'
  2. You'll be given either an up/down set or a left/right set to do. Identify the directions correctly as fast as you can (if it helps, you can say the words out loud)
  3. Then, as soon as you've finished, click 'finished'
  4. You'll get the time for that set. Jot it down somewhere.
  5. Then click on 'continue experiment' to proceed to the next set
  6. Repeat steps 2 and 4.
  7. Compare the timing for both sets.

Here are my times for both sets:
Up/down - 11.417
Left/right - 27.036

Anyway, take this test to find out how well you'll do!

All Time Low - Runaways



Lyrics:
Only a quitter
Would let it go
I'm your fool
In a one man show

I was so bitter
Till you came along
You set myself
When the tide was low

Ohhhh
We're going down this road
With tears in our rear view mirror
Far from home
But in the dark you know
With me you've got nothing to fear

So let's run away!
They'll have to find another heart to break
Why don't we just run away
Never turn around no matter what they say
We'll find a way

When the sun goes down
On this town
There'll be no one left but us
Just like runaways
They'll have to find some other hearts to break
Hearts to break

Out in the distance
Lost in the fold
Retrace our steps to the great unknown
Bury our toes
Where the ocean meets the sand
We hide ourselves right where we stand

Ohhhh
We're going down this road
With tears in our rear view mirror
Far from home
But in the dark you know
With me you've got nothing to fear

So let's run away!
They'll have to find another heart to break
Why don't we just run away
Never turn around no matter what they say
We'll find a way

When the sun goes down
On this town
There'll be no one left but us
Just like runaways
They'll have to find some other hearts to break
Hearts to break

[Music]

They won't catch us
In the dark
Roll like thunder
Burn like stars

They won't catch us
In the dark
Roll like thunder
Burn like stars

Run away
They'll have to find another heart to break
Heart to break

So let's run away!
They'll have to find another heart to break
Why don't we just run away
Never turn around no matter what they say
We'll find a way

When the sun goes down
On this town
There'll be no one left but us
Just like runaways
They'll have to find some other hearts to break
Hearts to break

Breaking Benjamin - Failure



Lyrics: 
Life will come our way
It has only just begun
The world will die alone, the fray from below
Time will take our place
We'll return it back to one
The calm before the cold, the long and lonely road

Look for the light that leads me home

Tired of feeling lost
Tired of letting go
Tear the whole world down
Tear the whole world down
Failure

Drive the cloud away
We will fall from last tonight
The dark before the dawn, the world will carry on

Look for the light that leads me home

Tired of feeling lost
Tired of letting go
Tear the whole world down
Tear the whole world down

Tired of wasting breath
Tired of nothing left
Tear the whole world down
Tear the whole world down
Failure

[Guitar Solo]

Tired of feeling lost
Tired of letting go
Tear the whole world down
Tear the whole world down

Tired of wasting breath
Tired of nothing left
Tear the whole world down
Tear the whole world down

Carry the sunlight, we bury the sunlight
Failure
Failure

We bury the sunlight, we bury the sunlight
Failure
Failure

Failure

New Heights - Time



Lyrics:
3rd and church, where I stayed
Laid my head in an empty room
And I still feel the same, with a bed under me

Time is always running away
Never stopped, never prayed
Everything I wanted to say
Now it’s gone, it’s too late

If you ever see me, ten years ago, would you let me know?
Everything you’re doing, keep going and you’ll be alone
Cause time is not on your side, slow down

Wore my hands through the skin, worked my mind till it caved in
Never stopped, never played, working away, working away

Time is always running away
Can’t hold on, Can’t Delayed
Anything I wanted to say
It’s gone, it’s too late

If you ever see me, ten years ago, would you let me know?
Everything you’re doing, keep going and you’ll be alone
Cause time is not on your side, slow down

Through the walls onto the streets
I’ll take my first step as I free me
And if I see you I will tell you
You were right
You were right
You were right

And time is not on your side

Yeahhhhhh....
You were right
You were right
You were right 
You were right 



Check out this short 6-mins Malaysian-made movie about suicide and, of course, this amazing song is in it :)

All Time Low - Kids in the Dark

Something to spice up the day :)

Seriously though, do All Time Low ever mess up any of their songs? I love every one of them... even the more obscure ones on their previous albums lol!


Lyrics:
(The kids in the dark)
(The kids in the dark)
(The kids in the dark)
(The kids in the dark)
Here we are at the end of the road
A road that is quietly caving in (caving in)
Come too far to pretend that we don't
We don't miss where we started

But looking back I see a setting sun
And watch my shadow fade into the floor
I am left standing on the edge
And wondering how we got this far
(How we got this far)
They left us alone
The kids in the dark
To burn out forever
Or light up the spark

We come together
State of the art
We'll never surrender
We're kids in the dark
So let the world sing
What a shame
What a shame
Beautiful scars on critical veins
Come together
State of the art
We'll never surrender
The kids in the dark
The kids in the dark
(Kids in the dark)
(Kids in the dark)
Here we are at the top of the hill
A hill that's quietly crumbling
Been a while since you dressed for the kill
The kill that sent me tumbling
Looking up I see a falling star
And watch its fire burn into the floor
And I am left standing on the edge
And wondering why we fall so hard
(Why we fall so hard)
They left us alone
The kids in the dark
To burn out forever
Or light up the spark

We come together
State of the art
We'll never surrender
We're kids in the dark
So let the world sing
What a shame
What a shame
Beautiful scars on critical veins
Come together
State of the art
We'll never surrender
The kids in the dark
The kids in the dark
Whoa whoa
Whoa whoa

(They left us alone)
(The kids int he dark)
(To burn out forever)
(Or light up the spark)
We come together
State of the art
We'll never surrender
We're kids in the dark
So let the world sing

What a shame
What a shame
Beautiful scars on critical veins
Come together
State of the art
We'll never surrender
The kids in the dark
The kids in the dark

The kids in the dark
The kids in the dark

We'll never surrender
The kids in the dark
The kids in the dark

How many colours can you see?

Given that THE dress went viral (and I got caught up with it coz it's science lol! It's amazing :) ), I thought you guys may appreciate this test. 

Note that your computer may affect how many colours can be seen in this test. My laptop works rather fine - there's 2-3 colours that I can hardly see the difference... except when I look at both strips in the middle, I can see a clear line (due to contrasting colours) separating them.

Look at the picture below carefully and see how many different strips of colours you can differentiate! (Click on the picture to enlarge it)

Remember - Don't peek at the analysis below before you've completed the test!

Click into the pic to see the larger version!
Credits to Derval Research for the pic.


If you can see...

  1. 20 colours - You are a dichromat (2 types of cone cells in your eye) and you are among the 25%. You prefer black, beige and blue. 
  2. 20-32 colours - You are a trichromat (3 types of cone cells in your eye) and you are among the 50%. You can appreciate a range of different colours.
  3. 33 - 39 colours - You are a tetrachromat (4 types of cone cells in your eye) and you are among the last 25%. You can appreciate a range of different colours, but may seem to be irritated by yellow [Not true for me, I don't like yellow shirts but I still wear them]

I saw 39 colours in the test, what about you? :)
