Let it all just fade away

Songs On Odyssey: Burn Baby Burn

Here's a song for all those who need to leave behind something that is so unworthy of our stress and our worries and our emotions. Leave behind those negativities because once you empty your pockets of those rocks, you're ready to spread your damn wings and fly!


Burn Baby Burn

I'm waiting for somethin' excitin', yeah I can tell it's gonna be good. You know the sun is electrifying, made my heart beat flames all through the blood. Yeah, the scent of happiness is consuming senses, all desires. But the moon is out, and my song is on, and the flames are burning—they're burning strong. I'm a walking hazard, a heat of a blizzard, take one step forward, and fall into the fire.

Chorus: Burn baby burn. Go on and melt away—every thought I let devour me, every word you didn't say. Burn baby burn burn burn, I feel it now, the rush of the wind, on the flames that never will give in—see the passion in my eyes, at every turn. Somethin' exicitin' is happenin' now, and I'm not afraid to let you burn. Burn, burn, baby, burn.

Tear up the confetti till it's ready to be, just a pile of things you used. Tear up all the days that you promised the sun, because I found it now, without you. Tear up all the nights I spent watering thoughts, on my face, on my arms, on the sheets, on my scars, just waiting for me, waiting for you. Yeah burn it all, burn everything.

Chorus

Licking the ashes off crystal balls that never knew the future. I like asking them how they think of us now, and why they couldn't tell me sooner. I'll remember long ago what they said, how they believed in us the way we believed them. I'm ready to let go, I'm ready to say no, I'm moving on. This is my closure.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
