They'll Remember, Only our Smiles 'Cause That's all They've Seen

The Approaching Curve - Rise Against

"Our cracking voices became part of the music.
The car pressed on faster through the night. As our voices lowered,
The cadence again overtook the air.
Up ahead there was a curve approaching."

There is an excessive amount of songs about shitty relationships. The unique thing about this song, is that it isn't necessarily a shitty relationship but that doesn't mean it doesn't need to end.  Just because someone doesn't cheat on you or treat you horribly, that still makes breaking up tough, and likely.  There should be lot more songs about breakups that don't end up badly. Although this is not a good example considering they both die.

Pouring Confessions, Having no Answers, or Solutions

This is such a poetic song, the lyrics tell a good story that is described so vividly. I wish there was a music video for this such it such a good story. "The music pulsed louder, yet gentle, like the far away squeal of a pot of boiling water," it so perfectly paints a picture in your head. Towards the end, it is a picture that you don't particularly want in your head, "Up ahead there was a curve approaching, she made no indications of slowing." It's depressing to think about, they both die. No one would see it coming because they always just pretended to be happy, "They'll remember, only our smiles 'cause that's all they've seen." Not that there is something wrong with that, I hate people that share every detail of there relationship. Especially on Facebook where nobody cares.

Our Midnight Drive Through Curtains of Blackness

I don't know if it's just me, but being on a long drive is relaxing, "She hadn't so much as turned the steering wheel two degrees in the last twenty minutes." The problem with me is that I hate driving. I like being on drives but the actual driving part is stressful. I like drowning in the music though, "The music played with a calming frequency." Driving while fighting with someone seems dangerous though because most likely you will take your eyes off the road, "Then she was crying, then she was shouting, then I was shouting." This song is intense, and that's just all there is to it, "The skyline was glowing faintly with vague hints of an impending dawn."
