Whispering Death | The AH-1 Cobra

song: Heavy Fuel (1991)

from genius.com

[Verse 1]
Last time I was sober, man I felt bad
Worst hangover that I ever had
It took six hamburgers and scotch all night
Nicotine for breakfast just to put me right

[Chorus]
Cause if you want to run cool
If you want to run cool
If you want to run cool, you got to run
On heavy, heavy fuel
Heavy, heavy fuel
Heavy, heavy fuel

[Verse 2]
My life makes perfect sense
Lust and food and violence
Sex and money are my major kicks
Get me in a fight I like dirty tricks

[Chorus]
Cause if you want to run cool
If you want to run cool
If you want to run cool, you got to run
On heavy, heavy fuel
Heavy, heavy fuel
Heavy, heavy fuel

[Verse 3]
My chick loves a man who's strong
The things she'll do to turn me on
I love the babes, don't get me wrong
Hey, that's why I wrote this song

[Verse 4]
I don't care if my liver is hanging by a thread
Don't care if my doctor says I ought to be dead
When my ugly big car won't climb this hill
I'll write a suicide note on a hundred dollar bill

[Chorus]
Cause if you want to run cool
If you want to run cool
If you want to run cool, you got to run
On heavy, heavy fuel
Heavy, heavy fuel
Heavy, heavy fuel

Heavy, heavy fuel
Heavy, heavy fuel
Heavy, heavy fuel
Heavy, heavy fuel
Heavy, heavy fuel
Heavy, heavy fuel
Heavy, heavy fuel

Nightcore - Battlefield        (2009)

from genius.com

[Verse 1]
Don't try to explain your mind
I know what's happening here
One minute it's love and suddenly it's like a battlefield
One word turns into war
Why is it the smallest things that tear us down?
My world's nothing when you're gone
I'm out here without a shield
Can't go back now

[Pre-Chorus]
Both hands tied behind my back for nothing, oh no
These times when we climb so fast to fall again
Why we gotta fall for it now?

[Chorus]
I never meant to start a war
You know I never wanna hurt you
Don't even know what we're fighting for

[Post-Chorus 1]
Why does love always feel like a battlefield? (Oh-oh)
A battlefield (Oh-oh)
A battlefield (Oh-oh)
Why does love always feel like a battlefield? (Oh-oh)
A battlefield (Oh-oh)
A battlefield (Oh-oh)

[Verse 2]
Can't swallow our pride
Neither of us wanna raise that flag, mm
If we can't surrender, then we both gonna lose what we had, oh no

[Pre-Chorus]
Both hands tied behind my back for nothing (Nothing)
Oh no
These times when we climb so fast to fall again
I don't wanna fall for it now

[Chorus]
I never meant to start a war
You know I never wanna hurt you
Don't even know what we're fighting for

[Post-Chorus 1]
Why does love always feel like a battlefield? (Oh-oh)
A battlefield (Oh-oh)
A battlefield (Oh-oh)
Why does love always feel like a battlefield? (Oh-oh)
A battlefield (Oh-oh)
A battlefield (Oh-oh)

[Post-Chorus 2]
I guess you better go and get your armor (Get your armor)
Get your armor (Get your armor)
I guess you better go and get your armor (Get your armor)
Get your armor (Get your armor)
I guess you better go and get your
[Bridge]
We could pretend that we are friends tonight (Oh)
And in the morning, we'd wake up and we'd be alright
'Cause baby, we don't have to fight
And I don't want this love to feel like

[Breakdown]
A battlefield (Oh)
A battlefield (Oh)
A battlefield (Oh)
Why does love always feel like a battlefield? (Oh)
A battlefield (Oh)
A battlefield (Oh)
Guess you better go and get your armor

[Chorus]
I never meant to start a war (Start a war)
You know I never wanna hurt you
Don't even know what we're fighting for
(What are we fighting for?)

[Post-Chorus 1]
Why does love always feel like a battlefield? (Oh-oh-oh)
A battlefield (Oh-oh-oh)
A battlefield (Oh-oh-oh)
Why does love always feel like a battlefield? (Oh-oh-oh)
A battlefield (Oh-oh-oh)
A battlefield (Oh-oh-oh)
[Post-Chorus 2]
I guess you better go and get your armor (Get your armor, yeah)
Get your armor (Get your armor)
I guess you better go and get your armor (Get your armor)
Get your armor (Get your armor)

[Outro]
Why does love always feel like
Whoa-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
(Whoa-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh)
Why does love always feel like
(Whoa-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh) A battlefield
A battlefield (Whoa-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh)
I never meant to start a war
(Whoa-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)
Don't even know what we're fighting for
(Whoa-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh)
I never meant to start a war
(Whoa-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)
Don't even know what we're fighting for
(Whoa-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh)
(Whoa-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)
Hey
(Whoa-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh)

I Really Like You - Carly Rae Jepsen        (2015)

from genius.com

[Verse 1]
I really wanna stop, but I just got the taste for it
I feel like I could fly with the boy on the moon
So honey, hold my hand, you like making me wait for it
I feel like I could die walking up to the room, oh yeah

[Pre-Chorus]
Late night watching television
But how'd we get in this position?
It's way too soon, I know this isn't love
But I need to tell you something

[Chorus]
I really, really, really, really, really, really like you
And I want you, do you want me, do you want me too?
I really, really, really, really, really, really like you
And I want you, do you want me, do you want me too?
Oh, did I say too much?
I’m so in my head when we’re out of touch
I really, really, really, really, really, really like you
And I want you, do you want me, do you want me too?

[Verse 2]
It's like everything you say is a sweet revelation
All I wanna do is get into your head
Yeah, we could stay alone
You and me, and this temptation
Sipping on your lips, hanging on by a thread, baby

[Pre-Chorus]
Late night watching television
But how'd we get in this position?
It's way too soon, I know this isn't love (Love)
But I need to tell you something

[Chorus]
I really, really, really, really, really, really like you
And I want you, do you want me, do you want me too?
I really, really, really, really, really, really like you
And I want you, do you want me, do you want me too?
Oh, did I say too much?
I’m so in my head when we’re out of touch (When we’re out of touch!)
I really, really, really, really, really, really like you
And I want you, do you want me, do you want me too?

[Bridge]
Who gave you eyes like that
And said you could keep them?
I don’t know how to act
Or if I should be leaving
I’m running out of time
Going out of my mind
I need to tell you something
Yeah, I need to tell you something
Yeah!
[Chorus]
I really, really, really, really, really, really like you
And I want you, do you want me, do you want me too?
I really, really, really, really, really, really like you (Oh oh oh)
And I want you, do you want me, do you want me too?
Oh, did I say too much? (Did I say too much?)
I’m so in my head when we’re out of touch (I’m so in my head, when we’re out of touch)
I really, really, really, really, really, really like you
And I want you, do you want me, do you want me too? (Yeah!)
I really, really, really, really, really, really like you
And I want you, do you want me, do you want me too? (Yeah, I need to tell you something)
I really, really, really, really, really, really like you (Oh, yeah)
And I want you, do you want me, do you want me too?

Nickelback - Burn It to the Ground      (2008)

from genius.com

[Verse 1]
Well, it's midnight, damn right, we're wound up too tight
I got a fist full of whiskey, the bottle just bit me
Oh, that shit makes me bat shit crazy
We got no fear, no doubt, all in, balls out

[Chorus]
We're going out tonight (Hey!)
To kick out every light (Hey!)
Take anything we want (Hey!)
Drink everything in sight (Hey!)
We're going 'til the world stops turning
While we burn it to the ground tonight

[Post-Chorus]
Ooh
Ooh

[Verse 2]
We're screaming like demons, swinging from the ceiling
I got a fist full of fifties, tequila just hit me
Oh, we got no class, no taste, no shirt, and shit faced
We got it lined up, shot down, firing back straight crown

[Chorus]
We're going out tonight (Hey!)
To kick out every light (Hey!)
Take anything we want (Hey!)
Drink everything in sight (Hey!)
We're going 'til the world stops turning
While we burn it to the ground tonight

[Post-Chorus]
Ooh
Ooh

[Verse 3]
Tickin' like a time bomb, drinkin' 'til the night's gone
Well, get your hands off of this glass, last call my ass
Well, no chain, no lock, and this train won't stop
We got no fear, no doubt, all in, balls out

[Chorus]
We're going out tonight (Hey!)
To kick out every light (Hey!)
Take anything we want (Hey!)
Drink everything in sight (Hey!)
We're going 'til the world stops turning
While we burn it to the ground tonight
Ooh
We're going out tonight (Hey!)
To kick out every light (Hey!)
Take anything we want (Hey!)
Drink everything in sight (Hey!)
We're going 'til the world stops turning
While we burn it to the ground tonight

The Score - Enemies             (2022)

from genius.com

[Verse 1]
Goodbye to my enemies, to my enemies
They try to beat me but I won't surrender
Fear won't be the death of me, d-d-d-death of me
I won't go quietly into the night

[Verse 2]
My pain is a memory, a m-m-memory
Pouring over like the stormy weather
Won't get the best of me, b-b-b-best of me
I won't go quietly into the light

[Chorus]
Cause I believe underneath
I won't ever lose composure
No defeat, won't retreat
Hold the line until it's over
All my scars are tattoos
They're a work of art
I believe, underneath
I was born to be a soldier
Reaching for my destiny
Goodbye to my enemies
(Ay, ay, ay, ay)
Goodbye to my enemies

[Verse 3]
Fight til the end of me, til the end of me
Did you think that it would be that easy?
This ain't a tragedy, a tr-tr-tragedy
I'm not going six feet in the ground

[Verse 4]
It's not a fever dream, it's reality
Cut me open and my heart's still beating
Healed from my injuries, now I'm on my feet
I'm not going six feet in the ground

[Chorus]
Cause I believe underneath
I won't ever lose composure
No defeat, won't retreat
Hold the line until it's over
All my scars are tattoos
They're a work of art
I believe, underneath
I was born to be a soldier
Reaching for my destiny
Goodbye to my enemies
(Ay, ay, ay, ay)
Goodbye to my enemies
(Ay, ay, ay, ay)
Goodbye to my enemies

Rascal Flatts - Life Is A Highway       (2006)

from genius.com

[Intro]
Woo
Mm, yeah

[Verse 1]
Life's like a road that you travel on
When there's one day here and the next day gone
Sometimes you bend, sometimes you stand
Sometimes you turn your back to the wind
There's a world outside every darkened door
Where blues won't haunt you anymore
Where the brave are free and lovers soar
Come ride with me to the distant shore

[Pre-Chorus 1]
We won't hesitate
To break down the garden gate
There's not much time left today, yeah

[Chorus]
Life is a highway
I wanna ride it all night long
If you're goin' my way
Well, I wanna drive it all night long

[Verse 2]
Through all these cities and all these towns
It's in my blood and it's all around
I love you now like I loved you then
This is the road and these are the hands
From Mozambique to those Memphis nights
The Khyber Pass to Vancouver's lights
Knock me down, I'm back up again
You're in my blood, I'm not a lonely man

[Pre-Chorus 2]
There's no load I can't hold
A road so rough, this I know
I'll be there when the light comes in
Just tell 'em we're survivors

[Chorus]
Life is a highway
Well, I wanna ride it all night long (Woo)
If you're goin' my way
I wanna drive it all night long (All night long)
A gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, yeah
Life is a highway
Well, I wanna ride it all night long (Mm, yeah)
If you're goin' my way (You're goin' my way)
I wanna drive it all night long (All night long)

[Bridge]
There was a distance between you and I (Between you and I)
A misunderstanding once
But now we look it in the eye
Ooh, yeah (Mm, yeah)

[Instrumental Break]

[Refrain]
There ain't no load that I can't hold
The roads are rough, this I know
I'll be there when the light comes in
Tell 'em we're survivors
[Chorus]
Life is a highway
Well, I wanna ride it all night long (All night long, yeah)
If you're goin' my way
Well, I wanna drive it all night long (A gimme, gimme, gimme, a gimme, gimme, yeah)
Life is a highway (Life is a highway)
I wanna ride it all night long (Woo, yeah)
If you're goin' my way (You're goin' my way)
I wanna drive it all night long (All night long, yeah; come on, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, yeah)
Life is a highway
I wanna ride it all night long (Yeah, I wanna drive it all night long, baby)
If you're goin' my way (You're goin' my way)
I wanna drive it all night long (All night long)

Silent Hill-Room of Angel         (2004)

from genius.com

[Verse 1]
You lie, silent there before me
Your tears, they mean nothing to me
The wind howling at the window
The love you never gave, I give to you

Really don't deserve it
But now, there's nothing you can do
So sleep in your only memory
Of me, my dearest mother

[Chorus]
Here's a lullaby to close your eyes, goodbye
It was always you that I despised
I don't feel enough for you to cry, oh well
Here's a lullaby to close your eyes

Goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye

[Verse 2]
So insignificant, sleeping dormant, deep inside of me
Are you hiding away, lost under the sewers?
Maybe flying high in the clouds?
Perhaps you're happy without me

So many seeds have been sown in the field
And who could sprout up so blessedly, if I had died?
I would have never felt sad at all
You will not hear me say "I'm sorry"
Where is the light? Wonder if it's weeping, somewhere

[Chorus]
Here's a lullaby to close your eyes, goodbye
It was always you that I despised
I don't feel enough for you to cry, oh well
Here's a lullaby to close your eyes, goodbye

Here's a lullaby to close your eyes, goodbye
It was always you that I despised
I don't feel enough for you to cry, oh well
Here's a lullaby to close your eyes

Goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye

Here's a lullaby to close your eyes, goodbye
It was always you that I despised
I don't feel enough for you to cry, oh well
Here's a lullaby to close your eyes, goodbye

Here's a lullaby to close your eyes, goodbye
It was always you that I despised
I don't feel enough for you to cry, oh well
Here's a lullaby to close your eyes
Goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye

V-22 Osprey music video

song: Million Miles Away by the Offspring    (2001)

from genius.com

[Verse 1]
There was a time, looking through myself
Wanting to pretend
If I escaped, I could fill myself
I don't think you can
Been far and wide
But that hole inside
Never really leaves
When I went away, what I really left
Left behind was me

[Pre-Chorus 1]
It's telling me
To be on my way
Home

[Chorus]
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Million miles away
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Million miles away
I can't stay, I can't stay
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
A million miles away

[Verse 2]
Each passing day, every passing face
Seems like such a blur
I long to be home, silently
Lying next to her
Just to get back, by her side is all
All I need to be
I went away, but what I really left
Left behind was me

[Pre-Chorus 2]
I need to be
Getting on my way
Home

[Chorus]
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Million miles away
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Million miles away
I can't take, I can't take
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
A million miles away

[Pre-Chorus 1]
It's telling me
To be on my way
Home

[Outro]
I can't take, I can't take
Million miles away
I can't take, I can't take
Million miles away
I can't take, I can't take
Million miles away
I can't take, I can't take
Million miles away
I can't take, I can't take (Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)
Million miles away
I can't take, I can't take (Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)
Million miles away
I can't take, I can't take (Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)
Million miles away
I can't take, I can't take (Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)
Million miles away

[Nightcore] Born For This (The Score)        (2019)

from genius.com

[Verse 1]
I'm checking my vital signs
Drawing my battle lines, going to war again
Feeling the rhythm inside of my chest, all I need is just a pen
I know I was born for this
I know I was born for this

[Verse 2]
Don't care for the critics, my words are like physics:
A force that they can't stop
They just don't get it, I think they forget I'm not
Done 'til I'm on top
I know I was born for this
I know I was born for this

[Pre-Chorus]
I believe, I believe we can write our story
I believe, I believe we can be an army (Hoo)

[Chorus]
We are the warriors who learned to love the pain
We come from different places, but have the same name
'Cause we were, 'cause we were, 'cause we were
'Cause we were born for this, we were born for this (Oh-oh-oh, hoo)
We are the broken ones who chose to spark a flame
Watch as our fire rages; our hearts are never tame
'Cause we were, 'cause we were, 'cause we were
'Cause we were born for this, we were born for this (Oh-oh-oh, hoo)

[Verse 3]
I've struggled for years and through all the tears
I've faced the doubts I hide
I never gave into my fears deep within cause
I heard my voice inside
I know I was born for this
I know I was born for this

[Pre-Chorus]
I will never lose my voice
If I cut out all the noise
I know I was born for this
I know I was born for this
I believe, I believe we can write our story
I'll believe, I'll believe we can be an army (Hoo)

[Chorus]
We are the warriors who learned to love the pain
We come from different places, but have the same name
'Cause we were, 'cause we were, 'cause we were
'Cause we were born for this, we were born for this (Oh-oh-oh, hoo)
We are the broken ones who chose to spark a flame
Watch as our fire rages; our hearts are never tame
'Cause we were, 'cause we were, 'cause we were
'Cause we were born for this, we were born for this (Oh-oh-oh, hoo)

[Bridge]
Oh-oh-oh, hoo
Oh-oh-oh, hoo
Oh-oh-oh, hoo
Oh-oh-oh, hoo
These words that I write are for someone like me
To know you're not alone
The moves that you make, yeah, they come up mistakes
Don't ever lose your hope
Just know that you were born for this
Just know you were born for this (Hoo)

[Chorus]
We are the warriors who learned to love the pain
We come from different places, but have the same name
'Cause we were, 'cause we were, 'cause we were
'Cause we were born for this, we were born for this (Oh-oh-oh, hoo)
We are the broken ones who chose to spark a flame
Watch as our fire rages; our hearts are never tame
'Cause we were, 'cause we were, 'cause we were
'Cause we were born for this, we were born for this (Oh-oh-oh, hoo)

[Outro]
We were born for this, we were born for this

Meghan Trainor - Title           (2014)

from genius.com

[Verse 1]
If you want my love
You gotta do what it does
If you want these sweet-like-sugar Gucci lips
You gotta give it up
I know you think I'm cool (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
But I ain't one of the boys (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
No, don't be scared that I'm gon' tie ya down (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
Ha, I need a little more

[Chorus]
Baby, don't call me your friend
If I hear that word again
You might never get a chance to see me
Naked in your bed
And I know girls ain't hard to find
But if you think you wanna try
Then consider this an invitation
To kiss my ass goodbye

[Post-Chorus]
Give me that title, title
Come on, give me that title, title
Better give me that title, title
Come on, give me that title, title

[Verse 2]
If it ain't no thang (No; ooh-ooh-ooh)
I won't be hanging around (Hanging around; ooh-ooh-ooh)
But don't blow up my shit at 3 AM (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
Saying how you need me now
Don't call me boo, hey (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
Like you're some kind of ghost (Well, you're a ghost; ooh-ooh)
If you don't want me seeing other guys (Ooh-ooh-ooh)

Come on, give me that title, title
Better give me that title, title (Title)
Come on, give me that title, title (I'm sayin', hey)
[Verse 3]
Yo, said I'm a special kind of woman (Huh)
I'm loving what you got, but I'm hating what you doing
You gotta understand that I'm looking for a man
Who can get up on a bike, "Look ma, no hands"
You gotta show me off, off (Show me off, off)
But if you embarrassed, if that's the case, I'm all gone (All gone)
You gotta treat me like a trophy, put me on the shelf
Or call me something else (Hey, yeah)

[Chorus]
Baby, don't call me your friend (Don't, don't, don't)
If I hear that word again (Word again)
You might never get a chance to see me
Naked in your bed (Your bed, baby)
And I know girls ain't hard to find (Ain't hard to find)
But if you think you wanna try (Wanna try)
Then consider this an invitation (Consider this, consider this)
To kiss my ass goodbye (Uh-huh)

[Post-Chorus]
Give me that title, title
Come on, give me that title, title (Come on, give me that)
Better give me that title, title (Better give me that)
Come on, give me that title, title (Come on, give me that)
Yeah

[Outro]
Title, title (Come on)
Come on, give me that title, title
Come on, give me that title, title (Give me that)
Come on, give me that title, title (Come on, baby)
Yeah
