Today is quite a lonely day. I hate it. I am definitely feeling EMO. And while surfing, I stumbled upon this song: Killing Loneliness by HIM.

Perfect.

The lyrics don't make any sense in my teary state. But what the heck. I just want to kill this loneliness…

Memories, sharp as daggers
Pierce into the flesh of today
Suicide of love took away all that matters
And buried the remains in an unmarked grave in your heart

With the venomous kiss you gave me
I'm killing loneliness (Killing loneliness)
With the warmth of your arms you saved me,
Oh, I'm killing loneliness with you
I'm killing loneliness that turned my heart into a tomb
I'm killing loneliness

Nailed to the cross, together
As solitude begs us to stay
Disappear in the lie forever
And denounce the power of death over our souls and secret words are said to start a war

With the venomous kiss you gave me
I'm killing loneliness (Killing loneliness)
With the warmth of your arms you saved me,
Oh, I'm killing loneliness with you
I'm killing loneliness that turned my heart into a tomb
I'm killing loneliness

Killing loneliness

With the venomous kiss you gave me
I'm killing loneliness (Killing loneliness)
With the warmth of your arms you saved me

So how do you kill your loneliness? HELP.

Love the distance,

Makes me want to share another sunset with you

I must admit I am not an actually a music person so I really don't memorize a lot of songs and their lyrics. You get the drift.  And Dodong is a music person (Not musical because he doesn't play any instrument or even sing for that matter). He is in tune with the latest music and loves to listen to songs especially when feeling lonely.

The other day, he shared with me one of his emote songs: Don't Go Away by Oasis. I immediately Googled the lyrics and Youtubed the music video of course. The song did strike a chord in me and made me emote as well. Boo. Hehehe.

Sharing with you the lyrics of the song…

A Cold and frosty morning there's not a lot to say
About the things caught in my mind
As the day was dawning my plane flew away
With all the things caught in my mind
And I wanna be there when you're…
Coming down

And I wanna be there when you hit the ground
So don't go away say what you say
But say that you'll stay
Forever and a day…in the time of my life
Cos I need more time yes I need more time
Just to make things right

Damn my situation and the games I have to play
With all the things caught in my mind
Damn my education I can't find the words to say
About all the things caught in my mind

Me and you what's going on?
All we seem to know is how to show
The feelings that are wrong

I highlighted the part of the song which meant a lot to me. I felt as if Dodong was right in front of me, saying what was really in his heart. Really, there are things that are worth waiting for…

Love the distance,

"So little time so much to do,
I'd rather spend my days with you.

But Im not making plans for tomorrow,
For tomorrow never comes."

"So far away

Holding you again could only do me good
Oh how I wish I could
But youre so far away"

BUT since I do believe on ending things on a high note and being more positive about LDRs, I  end my Top 10 Hit List with these songs…

• Manila by Hotdog

"Hinahanap-hanap kita Manila
Ang ingay mong kay sarap sa tenga
Mga jeepney mong nagliliparan
Mga babae mong naggagandahan
Take me back in your arms Manila
And promise me you'll never let go
Promise me you'll never let go

Manila, Manila I keep coming back to Manila
Doesn't anybody stay in one place anymoreSimply no place like Manila
Manila I'm coming home"

• Babalik Ka Rin by Gary Valencianco

"Sa piling ng iyong pinagmulan, sa iyong nakaraan
Babalik ka rin, babalik ka rin, babalik ka rin
Anumang layo ang narating, iyong maaalala
Ang dati mong kasama, babalik at babalik ka rin."
