First Time (feat. Dylan Matthew) – Seven Lions, SLANDER, Dabin Lyrics

In the darkness
All I see is you
You
When I’m lost
You lead me home
It’s true
Oh

So don’t stop now
I’m falling for you, I can’t lie
I wanted you to stay
‘Cause it’s hard to run away

So don’t stop now
I’m falling for you, I can’t lie
I wanted you to stay
‘Cause it’s hard to run away
It’s hard to run away

Oh, feels like we’re falling for the first time
Oh, this is exactly what it feels like
When I can’t go to sleep unless you’re laying next to me
Oh, feels like we’re falling for the first time

Feels like we’re falling for the first time
Feels like we’re falling for the first time

I, I knew that you were worth it
I, don’t know if I deserve this
You, have given me a purpose
You, yeah you were always worth it
I, I know that you’re worth it
I, don’t know if I deserve this
You, have given me a purpose
You, yeah you were always worth it

So don’t stop now
I’m falling for you, I can’t lie
I wanted you to stay
‘Cause it’s hard to run away

So don’t stop now
I’m falling for you, I can’t lie
I wanted you to stay
‘Cause it’s hard to run away
It’s hard to run away

Oh, feels like I’m falling for the first time
Oh, this is exactly what it feels like
When I can’t go to sleep unless you’re laying next to me
Feels like we’re falling for the first time

Oh, feels like I’m falling for the first time
Oh, this is exactly what it feels like
When I can’t go to sleep unless you’re laying next to me
Feels like we’re falling for the first time

When I can’t go to sleep unless you’re laying next to me
Feels like we’re falling for the first time

Feels like we’re falling for the first time
Feels like we’re falling for the first time

Back To Life – DubVision & Afrojack Lyrics

I come alive
When you’re lying next to me
You pull me up
When I can’t get on my feet
The sound of your voice
And the rapture in your eyes
Your love is the law
And you bring me back to life
Back to life

(Back to life)
(Bring me back to life)
(Back to life, back to life, back to)
(Bring me back to life)

So when I can’t speak
And life is breaking
When I feel too low
Yeah you bring me back
I’m exploding
Out of my body
Cos I’ve let go
Yeah you bring me back to life

Bring me back to life
Bring me back to life
(La la la la, la la la la, la la la la)
Bring me back to life
(La la la la, la la la la, la la la la)
Bring me back to life

You are my air
When I’m struggling to breathe
You answered the prayer
When my faith escaped belief
The sound of your voice
And the rapture in your eyes
Your love is the law
And you bring me back to life
Back to life

(Back to life)
(Bring me back to life)
(Back to life, back to life, back to)
(Bring me back to life)

So when I can’t speak
And life is breaking
When I feel too low
Yeah you bring me back
I’m exploding
Out of my body
Cos I’ve let go
Yeah you bring me back to life

Bring me back to life
Bring me back to life
(La la la la, la la la la, la la la la) (Bring me back)
(La la la la, la la la la, la la la la)
Yeah you bring me back to life

Bridged By A Lightwave – deadmau5 & Kiesza Lyrics

If I flew to Japan
And stood beside the waves with you
And danced across your face
Would we forget that we were strangers?
If I was there to take it in
And walk between the change in spaces
Dance through light in altered places
Would a fire begin?

Gone on a fast train
Oceans of blank space
High on an airplane
Bridged by a lightwave

If I went back in time
Removed the boulders that still chase us
Would we still let lust create us
Or would we start to climb?
If our dimensions were the same
If I could touch you in the flesh
Fold the time and space between us
Would yours fall into mine?

Shadows on our stage
Here from another phase
Nothin’ in our way
All but a 3D place
All but a 3D place
All but a 3D place
Bridged by a lightwave

If I flew to Japan
And stood beside the waves with you
And danced across your face
Would we forget that we were strangers?
If I was there to take it in
And walk between the change in spaces
Dance through light in altered places
Would a fire begin?

Gone on a fast train
Oceans of blank space
High on an airplane
Bridged by a lightwave
All but a 3D place

If I flew to Japan
And stood beside the waves with you
And danced across your face
Would we forget that we were strangers?
If I was there to take it in
And walk between the change in spaces
Dance through light in altered places
Would a fire begin?
Gone on a fast train
Oceans of blank space
High on an airplane
Bridged by a lightwave

Mirrors (feat. LEVV) – PRAANA x Dezza Lyrics

I never thought that you’d be over
There are mirrors of you out on every corner
You wander like a ghost in autumn
Half alive without the warmth of summer

When there is nothing left to know
Mirrors are our only portal
Mirrors are our only portal

When there is nowhere left to go
Mirrors are our only portal
Mirrors are our only portal

Mirrors are our only portal
Mirrors are our only portal

Song of the Day: End Of Days – Gareth Emery

Song of the Day: End Of Days – Gareth Emery

Gareth Emery out of the U.K. released “End of Days” in May of 2020. It tells the typical story of heartbreak and relationships falling out with soft vocals and a surprisingly bright melody despite the dark meaning. Take a listen and follow the lyrics below.

End Of Days Lyrics

It’s the last day of the year
The battle lines have disappeared
But we’re still standing here
I’ve got to walk this road alone
If only we tried face to face
Not writing on the phone

How did we fall so far
From reaching for the stars?

When the words run out
Nothing more to say
I’ll still love you
To the end of days
You can break my heart
In a thousand ways
But I’ll still love you
To the end of days

We were the greatest team on Earth
We could solve a million problems
Except how to fix this hurt
It is just the two of us
All the other hearts left broken
All the other dreams we crushed

How did we fall so far
From reaching for the stars?

When the words run out
Nothing more to say
I’ll still love you
To the end of days
You can break my heart
In a thousand ways
But I’ll still love you
To the end of days

When the ashes fall
From a blood-red sky
We’ll be forced to stand
At each other’s side
As the water flows
Wash our pain away
We’ll make our peace
Just a day too late
So we’ll turn around
Go our separate ways
And we’ll say goodbye
‘Til the end of days
