Glad You Came - The Wanted

"You cast a spell on me, spell on..." this song has been sitting in my queue for years. Because yes, I collect potential "Halloween" songs all year long and have been doing so since probably 2018 when I first started this daily challenge!! It's an old throwback (and that makes me sad to say because it came out the year I graduated high school and even I have to acknowledge that that's...old 😩) that's "wicked" good! 😉✨

The sun goes down, the stars come out

And all that counts is here and now

My universe will never be the same

I'm glad you came

You cast a spell on me, spell on me

You hit me like the sky fell on me, fell on me

And I decided you look well on me, well on me

So let's go somewhere no one else can see, you and me

Turn the lights out now

Now, I'll take you by the hand

Hand you another drink

Drink it if you can

Can you spend a little time?

Time is slipping away

Away from us, so stay

Stay with me, I can make

Make you glad you came

The sun goes down, the stars come out

And all that counts is here and now

My universe will never be the same

I'm glad you came, I'm glad you came

You cast a spell on me, spell on me

You hit me like the sky fell on me, fell on me

And I decided you look well on me, well on me

So let's go somewhere no one else can see, you and me

Turn the lights out now

Now, I'll take you by the hand

Hand you another drink

Drink it if you can

Can you spend a little time?

Time is slipping away

Away from us, so stay

Stay with me, I can make

Make you glad you came

The sun goes down, the stars come out

And all that counts is here and now

My universe will never be the same

I'm glad you came, I'm glad you came

(Oh, oh, oh, oh)

I'm glad you came

(Oh, oh, oh, oh)

So glad you came

(Oh, oh, oh, oh)

I'm glad you came

(Oh, oh)

I'm glad you came

The sun goes down, the stars come out

And all that counts is here and now

My universe will never be the same

I'm glad you came, I'm glad you came

I'm Not a Vampire - Falling in Reverse

This one is a bit intense coming from me and I was first introduced to the song through my favorite youtube reactor channel (who played a huge part in my NF Journey!). It's kinda a lot but I do find it just too appropriate for Halloween with the references to Vampire, Zombies & insanity! 🧛🧟😜

Well, I'm not a vampire, but I feel like one

Sometimes I sleep all day because I hate the sunlight

My hands are always shaking, body's always aching, and the dark is when I feed

Well, I can lure any woman that I want to in my bed with me

And whiskey seems to be my holy water

Mothers, better lock your doors and hide your daughters

I'm insane, well, I can feel it in my bones

Coursing through my veins, when did I become so cold?

For goodness sake's, where is my self-control?

If home is where my heart is, then my heart has lost all hope

Well, I'm not a zombie, but I feel like one today

Self-induced comatose, chemical daze

My head is always spinning from this dizzy blurry vision and my stomach has had enough

I feel like a lady that is pregnant with a baby 'cause I'm always throwing up

Hi, my name is Ronnie, I'm an addict

Daddy should've never raised me on Black Sabbath

I'm insane, well, I can feel it in my bones

Coursing through my veins, when did I become so cold?

For goodness sake's, where is my self-control?

If home is where my heart is, then my heart has lost all hope

God bless all of you now

'Cause I'm going straight to Hell

And I'm taking you down with me

'Cause you know damn well

I'm insane, I can feel it in my bones

Coursing through my veins, when did I become so cold?

I'm insane, well, I can feel it in my bones

Coursing through my veins, when did I become so cold?

For goodness sake's, where is my self-control?

If home is where my heart is, then my heart has lost all hope, all hope

Welcome to the Black Parade - My Chemical Romance

I was re-introduced/reminded of this song thanks to The Masked Singer last season (see performance below). It's definitely very edgy and punk-rock which is such a Halloween vibe to me I don't know why! Also, a black parade sounds super dark and haunting which is very spooky...and there's a lot of reference to death in this song sooo ⚫🏴💀

When I was a young boy, my father

Took me into the city to see a marching band

He said, "Son, when you grow up, would you be

The savior of the broken, the beaten, and the damned?"

He said, "Will you defeat them, your demons

And all the non-believers, the plans that they have made?

Because one day, I'll leave you a phantom

To lead you in the summer to join the black parade"

When I was a young boy, my father

Took me into the city to see a marching band

He said, "Son, when you grow up, would you be

The savior of the broken, the beaten, and the damned?"

Sometimes, I get the feeling she's watching over me

And other times, I feel like I should go

And through it all, the rise and fall, the bodies in the streets

And when you're gone, we want you all to know

We'll carry on, we'll carry on

And though you're dead and gone, believe me

Your memory will carry on, we'll carry on

And in my heart, I can't contain it

The anthem won't explain it

A world that sends you reeling from decimated dreams

Your misery and hate will kill us all

So paint it black and take it back, and let's shout it loud and clear

Defiant to the end, we hear the call

To carry on, we'll carry on

And though you're dead and gone, believe me

Your memory will carry on, we'll carry on

And though you're broken and defeated

Your weary widow marches

On and on, we carry through the fears (Oh, ha, ha)

Disappointed faces of your peers (Oh, ha, ha)

Take a look at me, 'cause I could not care at all

Do or die, you'll never make me

Because the world will never take my heart

Go and try, you'll never break me

We want it all, we wanna play this part

I won't explain or say I'm sorry

I'm unashamed, I'm gonna show my scar

And give a cheer for all the broken

Listen here, because it's who we are

Just a man, I'm not a hero

Just a boy who had to sing this song

Just a man, I'm not a hero

I don't care

We'll carry on, we'll carry on

And though you're dead and gone, believe me

Your memory will carry on, you'll carry on

And though you're broken and defeated

Your weary widow marches on

Do or die, you'll never make me

Because the world will never take my heart

Go and try, you'll never break me

We want it all, we wanna play this part (We'll carry on)

Do or die, you'll never make me (We'll carry on)

Because the world will never take my heart (We'll carry on)

Go and try, you'll never break me (We'll carry)

We want it all, we wanna play this part (We'll carry on)

My Songs Know What You Did in the Dark - Fall Out Boy

Another very intense song but it's super cool and I've always loved this one!! 🔥

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh

B-B-Be careful making wishes in the dark, dark

Can't be sure when they've hit their mark

And besides in the mean-meantime, I'm just

Dreaming of tearing you apart

I'm in the de-details with the devil

You know, the world can never get me on my level

I just got to get you out the cage, I'm a young lover's rage

Gonna need a spark to ignite

But my songs know what you did in the dark

So light 'em up, up, up

Light 'em up, up, up

Light 'em up, up, up

I'm on fire

So light 'em up, up, up

Light 'em up, up, up

Light 'em up, up, up

I'm on fire

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oohohh

In the dark, dark

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oohohh

In the dark, dark

Well all the writers keep writing what they write

Somewhere another pretty vein just died (Died)

I've got the scars from tomorrow and I wish you could see

That you're the antidote to everything except for me

Through a constellation of tears on your lashes

Burn everything you love then burn the ashes

In the end everything collides, my childhood

Spat back out the monster that you see

My songs know what you did in the dark

So light 'em up, up, up

Light 'em up, up, up

Light 'em up, up, up

I'm on fire

So light 'em up, up, up

Light 'em up, up, up

Light 'em up, up, up

I'm on fire

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh

In the dark, dark

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh

In the dark, dark

(Left left left right left)

(Left left left right left)

(Left left left right left)

My songs know what you did in the dark

(My songs know what you did in the dark)

So light 'em up, up, up

Light 'em up, up, up

Light 'em up, up, up

I'm on fire

So light 'em up, up, up

Light 'em up, up, up

Light 'em up, up, up

I'm on fire

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh

In the dark, dark

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh

In the dark, dark

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
