Rock Rap - Tumblr Posts
I don't blame kids who were raised with the internet. There not dumb, but it's just that they were raised to speak and understand things in internet and are confused on how to not?
The coming of the internet was a fast and wild thing
Taught us to laugh, Taught us to sing
How once was and everything
Showed us wonder, Showed us pain
Showed us each and every thing
Every hope, Every dream
Every lie in-between
Told us nonsense, told us fights
Told us to keep it all inside
If love, if glory
If you want us to survive
To claw, To crawl
To climb that corporate line
Of whimsy and sadness, embrace the madness, to leave it all behind would leave me in lackness, why show me the world and deny me my access
What did I just write?
This is the cover of it
You didn’t come this far to just get this far // You didn’t shoot for the moon just to hit the stars
Probably my favorite on the You Can’t Kill Us album. Ariel’s vocals in this song are absolutely awesome. The melody and lyrical style in this song is a little more reminiscent of older Icon for Hire stuff, and is what made me fall in love with them in the first place. Their rock heavy sound with rap and electronic fusion is unmatched.
I wanna shine in the light // Glow in the dark // Strike like a match on a burning heart
Love this song by Manafest! I'm a big fan of his rapping style, and I love the lyrics of this song. I also love whenever he teams up with Trevor McNevan, because his singing with Manafest's rapping is so awesome! His music is such a cool fusion of rock and rap. I also love supporting amazing independent musicians like him.
The fact is fiction // Suspicion is the new religion // America listens as the story is told // With the eye on the truth as the story unfolds // But the ratings determine which story was sold // We’re selling the news
Every word of this Switchfoot song rings true. In the current climate of America, dominated by “fake news” and “alternative facts”, this song is more accurate than ever. Jon Foreman captures the spirit of the powers that be spinning the truth to benefit them, something we’re seeing a lot of right now. One great thing about this song is that it spans many genres, with rap-like verses mixing into their signature alt rock sound. With his amazing lyrics and great voice, this song is a must hear.
I’m not stressing, obsessing over who I’m not impressing // I know perfection’s infectious, so is it more like infection?
Love this Icon for Hire song! I love how the melodies of the verse raps are different, and I love the flow that she has. Her voice sounds so great in this song, and they have the best fusion of electronic/rock/rap. As always, her lyrics are so raw and true.
