Against the Current - Talk



Lyrics:
You say you adore me,
but your eyes tell a story I've heard before.
And damn boy you must think I'm dumb
as if I didn't know about the things you've done.

Got a girl in every city,
but somehow you're still lonely.
I'm not the one to sit around waiting by my phone
while you're wasted telling other girls they're beautiful.

So why don't we just call it what it is?
We both know we're getting what we give.

You say you really wanna change,
but all you do is talk, talk, talk then walk the same way.
I say what you don't wanna say:
I think we better stop, stop, stop before it's too late.

Don't say you wanna stay forever.
We both know that I know you better.
You say you really wanna change,
but all you do is talk, talk, talk...
Talk, talk, talk, talk!

I say I don't want this,
but I know that I miss you when you're gone
and being tangled up in those sheets
but I know that you're not what's good for me.

So why don't we just call it what it is?
'Cause everybody knows you're full of shit.

You say you really wanna change,
but all you do is talk, talk, talk then walk the same way.
I say what you don't wanna say:
I think we better stop, stop, stop before it's too late.

Don't say you wanna stay forever.
We both know that I know you better.
You say you really wanna change,
but all you do is talk, talk, talk...
Talk, talk, talk, talk!

Baby you know all you do
is keep talking me back to you.
Your words don't mean a thing
'cause I'm done listening.

All you do is talk
All you do is talk
All you ever do is talk, talk, talk, talk

You say you really wanna change,
but all you do is talk, talk, talk then walk the same way.
I say what you don't wanna say:
I think we better stop, stop, stop before it's too late.

Don't say you wanna stay forever.
We both know that I know you better.
You say you really wanna change,
but all you do is talk, talk, talk...
Talk, talk, talk, talk!

Talk, talk, talk, yeah

Against the Current - Gravity




Lyrics: 
Do you remember feeling invincible?
When there was trouble it was us against the world
We kept running, running through the night
Chasing the sun 'til anything felt right

Can you save me now?
I get lost up in the clouds
Can you save me now?
You were my gravity
Can you save me now?
When the ground drops out I get lost in the clouds
Save me now
You were my gravity
Now my world is shattering

Ooooh, you were my gravity
Ooooh, you were my gravity

You left me out there with no one but myself
In an open field for the lightning to strike me down
I was the moon, you were the sun
I can't seem to shine now that you're gone
Now I'm out of orbit cause you left without warning
Are you somewhere better now?

Can you save me now?
I get lost up in the clouds
Can you save me now?
You were my gravity
Can you save me now?
When the ground drops out I get lost in the clouds
Save me now
You were my gravity
Now my world is shattering

Ooooh, you were my gravity
Ooooh, you were my gravity

When you went away, thought I'd never be the same
Would the nightmare ever end?
If I could do it again I wouldn't change a thing 'cause it's

made me who I am

And now I'm shattering

Can you save me now?
When the ground drops out I get lost up in the clouds
Save me now
You were my gravity
Can you save me now?
When the ground drops out I get lost up in the clouds
Save me now
You were my gravity
Now my world is shattering

Ooooh, now my world is shattering
Ooooh, you were my gravity

Against the Current - Brighter




Lyrics:
It's a brand new day, it's never too late to start
Can't live this life with an empty heart

Every single time that we lay it on the line
It's a roller coaster ride for one
When you know it's do or die and you're running out of time
We gotta give it all we've got
All we've got

I want something more, a life worth fighting for
I don't need a reason, to set the world on fire
And burn a little bit brighter now
There's something beautiful hiding in the shadows
So set the world on fire
Let's burn a little bit brighter now

Sometimes we gotta risk it all to chase a dream
It's a dive in head first, all-or-nothing kind of thing

Every single time that we lay it on the line
It's a roller coaster ride for one
When you know it's do or die and you're running out of time
We gotta give it all we've got

I want something more, a life worth fighting for
I don't need a reason, to set the world on fire
And burn a little bit brighter now
There's something beautiful hiding in the shadows
So set the world on fire
Let's burn a little bit brighter now

Can't stand by and wait like the others
I'm front line and won't run for cover
Head held high cause I'm burning brighter
Yeah I'm burning brighter

Can't stand by and wait like the others
I'm front line and won't run for cover
Head held high cause I'm burning brighter

I want something more, a life worth fighting for
I don't need a reason, to set the world on fire
And burn a little bit brighter now
There's something beautiful hiding in the shadows
So set the world on fire
Lets burn a little bit brighter now
It's a brand new day, it's never too late to start

Against the Current - Paralyzed




Lyrics: 
Have you had a million reasons why you wish you'd never seen the truth?
Have you looked into the mirror and the clown is staring back at you

I can't control myself, don't know who I've been
And who is this monster wearing my skin?
A movie in black and white. When will it end?
'Cause every time I scream no one hears me

It feels like I'm paralyzed,
and I can't
escape from the prison I'm
living in.
I'm naming the voices in my head
They keep on telling me to give in
But it's making me stronger
Fight a little longer
I'm gonna bring me back to life
And I won't be paralyzed

Have you searched for something deeper out of fear that

life's a lonely road?
Have you roamed the darkest corners of the earth until you're

just a ghost?

I can't control myself, don't know who I've been
And who is this monster wearing my skin?
A movie in black and white. When will it end?
'Cause every time I scream no one hears me

It feels like I'm paralyzed,
and I can't
escape from the prison I'm
living in.
I'm naming the voices in my head
They keep on telling me to give in
But it's making me stronger
Fight a little longer
I'm gonna bring me back to life
And I won't be paralyzed

I'm not afraid, I can face my demons
Even if they tear me down
If I fall, let me fall, it might take time
But I'll find my own way out

It feels like I'm paralyzed,
and I can't
escape from the prison I'm
living in.

It feels like I'm paralyzed,
and I can't
escape from the prison I'm
living in.
I'm naming the voices in my head
They keep on telling me to give in
But it's making me stronger
Fight a little longer
I'm gonna bring me back to life

It feels like I'm paralyzed
feels like I'm paralyzed
It feels like I'm paralyzed
feels like I'm paralyzed
It feels like I'm paralyzed
feels like I'm paralyzed
It feels like I'm paralyzed
feels like I'm paralyzed

But it's making me stronger
Fight a little longer
I'm gonna bring me back to life
And I won't be paralyzed

Against the Current (ft Taka) - Dreaming Alone


Lyrics:
The story starts laying in the dark with someone new
I’m feeling tired from all the time I spent on you
But I know I’m strong from all the trouble I’ve been through
The story starts where the story falls apart with you

Don’t lie, bright eyes
Is it me that you see when you fall asleep?
Cause I know it’s you I dream about every night
Giving me a feeling like
Love in the summer
Way I’ve never felt with another
Don’t lie, bright eyes
Is it me that you see?
Tell me I’m not dreaming alone

The story starts lying in the dark broken and bruised
I count the scars left in my heart from losing you
And I was wrong but let’s be honest you were too
I miss the part where I was falling hard for you

So don’t lie, bright eyes
Is it me that you see when you fall asleep?
Cause I know it’s you I dream about every night
Giving me this feeling like
Love in the summer
Way I’ve never felt with another
Don’t lie, bright eyes
Is it me that you see?
Tell me I’m not dreaming alone

I can’t take back the things I said
And I won’t say that I regret
Any day that I was yours

Don’t lie, bright eyes
I know it’s me that you see when you fall asleep
And you know it’s you I dream about every night
Giving me this feeling like
Love in the summer
Way I’ve never felt with any other
Don’t lie, bright eyes
It’ll always be you and me, so why are we dreaming alone?
It’ll always be you and me, so why are we dreaming alone?

"Can't get this music out of my head. Just love the guitar in the background and both their voices. Brilliant! :)" S.Y.

Foolproof spam/ scam email identification method

For those of you out there who have received a shady-looking email from a "legit" company

First: Check the sender's email.

A sample of a spam email that I've recently received
Important emails from companies will be sent from the company email, not through the usual Hotmail, Gmail or whatever free email services that you may never had heard of. 

Second: Check the links



If you're still not convinced of the legitimacy of the email, well, the second easiest way is by HOVERing (DO NOT CLICK!) your cursor over the link provided in the email... if there is one.

- An email from a bank and the link is directing me to a plumbing website... well, no thanks.


Third: If it requests any personal information from you, it's a spam/ scam

No doubt about it. No company in their right mind would request such vital and sensitive information from you over an email.



Hope this helps :)



P/S: I know that I haven't been active for months now, but I'm back with a "vengeance" lol :P Anyway, I'm thinking of putting up another guide to play apps on your phone via GooglePlus without letting your friends know. You, for example, may not like your friends to know that you're a Candy Crush Saga or a Clash of Clans addict. So, that guide may be useful :)
