SAD

Stepping out the club and it's a quarter past 4
You don't really know what you came here for
All your friends are all inside but you'll be seeing them soon
On embarrassingnightclubphotos.com
This festive season makes you want "the darker side of dubstep", please:
You're waiting for Skrillex's xmas EP
You only come out to this clubs to find a special friend
But you leave it empty-handed, you do it again and again
And you don't know what makes you do the stupid things you do
You self-destruct with all the regularity befitting youth
But if there's one thing I know, it's that things will get better for you next year
The thing that stops me getting sad is you.

Zero-Sum Game
03:27

if I take more then someone has to get less
if I get less I don't want to be part of this game
you cut the cake, you make the choice to choose last
if you value the control over who gets what I'm guessing there will be a net gain
it's a zero-sum game you have to lose for them to win
they'll try to take it all
they will try to take it all
some games you have to lose so I can gain
you've tried to take it all
I can't give you anymore
I can minimax with the best but probabilities were never my strength
like opposites that attract, an egotist and altruist fact:
a Boolean flaw, it's a XOR not an AND in the phrase "give and take"
give me a break the only winning move is not to play games
it's a zero-sum game you have to lose for them to win
they'll try to take it all
they will try to take it all
some games you have to lose so I can gain
you've tried to take it all
I can't give you anymore

Cynical Christmas Song
04:07

It's Christmas soon, I have to go away
But there's no trains back 'til after Boxing Day.
I can't believe that we won't be together this year.
I can't talk to you about how it feels,
You can't understand my subtle reveals.
We really need to start communicating next year.
To help I got this song as your Christmas gift,
It was the cheapest I could get, I've resorted to thrift
'Cause you cost me quite enough of my money this year.
I have to look after you, I have to sort all your shit, make your meals, brush your hair, sometimes I think I've had enough of it
To see me through to the end of next year.
But that doesn't change how I feel for you
We were meant to be together, an immutable truth
From the moment that I said that I would take care of you all this year.
This song is the pinnacle of cynical devices
That are present in the best Christmas tunes:
Emotive chord-progression and a syncopated drone
To get these feelings across to you.
Eight-part harmonies,
String-section bassline, descending,
Lyrics that could equally apply to anyone,
All to get these feelings across to you.
And I know that Gary Barlow would be proud
Of a middle-8 that sounded loud,
Full of emotion and of things avowed.
And I know One Direction would recommend
Because this song has a sleigh-bell end.
This song is the pinnacle of cynical devices

All to get these feelings across to you.
All to get these feelings across to you.

Northern Winter

Cold wind blows
Freeze my thoughts please
'Cause this twilight winter of thoughts
Has me laying down
Falling slow motion
Northern lights show me
The films of my guilty past
I'm not the best
And I don't care what you think
I am tired and these tears sting
But it's not your problem
To see past this darkness
Takes more than I'll ever have
Just leave me in winter
Half-hidden by snow already
I'll drag you under
So leave me alone
