Anthem 1: Dying to be Alive

-
Dying to be Alive is such an inspiring song! I fell in love with it the moment I first heard it. The message, the lyrics, the tune, Taylor's voice.....it's all just so perfect! And inspiring. For me anyhow.
 
Since graduating high school (2011) I have worked as a nanny. I love my job and I love the children I have gotten to work with over the years. But I feel like my life is in limbo. I haven't really accomplished much of anything. One of my biggest dreams and goals is to be a mother. I mean, it just makes sense! I love children, I love taking care of them and it's what I've wanted my entire life! I was that little girl who would carry around my baby doll and take care of it like it was a real child. I also have 5 younger siblings I loved to help take care of. I was (willingly!) changing diapers, making bottles and putting kids down for naps by the time I was 7! I started babysitting for my next door neighbors at 11 years old. It's something I truly love.
 
I believe that if I am to someday get married and have kids, it will be in God's timing but until then I need to work on becoming the best version of myself that I can be. This means no more sitting around waiting to bump into my prince charming, fall in love, get married, ride off into the sun set and live happily ever after.
 
Love this!
 
I need to start moving on with my life. I currently live at home and am surrounded by the same people I have known since I was 12 years old! I need to push myself, get out of my comfort zone, meet some new people, experience new opportunities! I want to truly start LIVING! I want to be DYING to be ALIVE! I need to take chances, not sit back and watch my life go by. I need to embrace every. single. day. of my life with all my heart and soul and live each day to the fullest! I shouldn't just be "trying to get by."
 
I LOVE this song! It has made such a HUGE impact on my life. It gives me a boost of confidence and motivation to do something. So, if you feel like you're sitting on the sidelines of your life (like me) instead of being the MVP, this song is for YOU! Let's get up and live our lives!
 
*I've highlighted some of my favorite parts of the song (the italicized and bolded parts).
 


Well I heard you crying
Somebody stole my soul.
How could I be dying?
I turned 25, days ago.

We're all
On the ground,
Just crying out.
Somebody save me please.
I won't sit around just thinking about,
The troubles that tommorrow brings
Yeah
I'm dying to be alive, yeah.
I'm dying to be alive, yeah.
Lets not go through our lives.
Without just dying to be alive.
Yeah.

The people you've touched,
The way you've touched them
I hope they've touched you too.
'Cause in this life,
It's hard to tell.
What is false and what is true.

We're all
On the ground,
Just crying out.
Would somebody save me please.
I won't sit around just thinking about
The troubles that tommorrow brings

I'm dying to be alive, yeah
Not trying to just survive, yeah.
Lets not go through our lives.
Without just dying to be alive.
Yeah.

And we all come,
Tumbling down.
No matter how strong,
We all return to the ground
Another day gone,
A day closer to fate.
Soon we'll find it's
A little too late.

Too late.

Na Na Na-na
Na Na Na-na
Na Na Na-na Na
Na Na Na-na
Na Na Na-na
Na Na Na-na na

The things you see,
The way you see them.
Will never be seen again
To go through life,
Livin' on luck.
Bettin' ten thousand to ten.
Yeah
Mistakes I've made
In this life.
Can't even see why I win.
But the thing that's strange is
You only live once.
And never look back again.
Yeah

I'm dying to be alive, yeah
Not trying to just survive, yeah.
Lets not go through our lives.
I'm just dying to be alive.
Yeah.

I'm dying to be alive, yeah
Not trying to just survive, yeah.
Let's not go through our lives.
Without just dying to be alive.
Yeah.

And we all come,
Tumbling down.
No matter how strong,
We all return to the ground.
When the day's gone,
Say "why did I wait?"
Can't just leave your
Life to fate.
Gotta turn it 'round
Before it's too late.

Morticia and Gomez Addams Love Song: "Rot Next to You"

Song: Morticia and Gomez Addams Love Song: "Rot Next to You" Artist: The Hound + The Fox Wow this is so good! 🥀 So, funny enough, I just watched the 1990's Addams Family film for the first time eva a couple days ago and then  this video pops up on my youtube feed (if this isn't proof that the government is stalking us through technology IDK what is! 😱). Anyway, even though I didn't care for the movie all that much, I thought this song captured Morticia and Gomez perfectly! And it's actually a really, beautiful love song for Halloween time! I especially like the bridge (and I'm pretty sure it's a direct quote from the movie because when I heard them singing it I was like "That sounds familiar...." 🤔). We all need somebody to rot next to at the end.... 😂 Sorry about the dark humor 😈🖤🥀 I see you like  A night with a full moon  I feel you like a flame  You cast a spell on me  I like how you make me weak  I play you like a game  I hope w

Siren Call

Song: Siren Call Artist: Hanson This song is off of Hanson's Fan Club EP: Loud (2016). I have been slightly obsessed with this haunting song as of late. This song is about dealing with depression ( Zac Hanson even said so ! Be forewarned, explicit language is used in this video. I'm so sorry). Once I heard Zac explain the meaning and message behind this song it made so much sense to me! I have always loved it and I've always known it had a powerful message but I could never quite figure out what it was. This song is about struggling. Being weighed-down by the burdens and challenges life brings to each and every one of us. When we stop and allow ourselves to "give in" to the pain and sadness that comes with the stress of life, that's when we begin to slip and fall into a deep depression. That's when our "Siren's Call" us. And pull us down. No straighter path than to struggle .... This is perfect. And it's true. Life is a constan

Song: Sally's Song and Corpse Bride Medley Artist: From Youtube I found this really creepy, cool medley/cover on youtube. I really like it! Major  Halloween  vibes from two  Halloween  inspired movies. The  Corpse Bride  lyrics were written by the person who posted/sang this song. She does a great job! Thanks for sharing  Trickywi ! I sense there's something in the wind That feels like tragedy's at hand And though I'd like to stand by him Can't shake this feeling that I have The worst is just around the bend And does he notice my feelings for him? And will he see how much he means to me? I think it's not to be Under a tree at quarter three, I had some hope in me But life was taken from me, but I did not feel peace I made a vow within my gown that love will come to me But there he is and suddenly I had been found I adore him What will become of my dear friend Where will his actions lead us then? Although I'd like to join the crowd In their enth
