Grey's Top 10 Songs of The Decade
I plan on making the big 100 albums of the decade list as well as a few other smaller 2019/decade wrap up lists as well, but today I shall start off with a biggun, my top 10 songs from the 2010's (1 song per band). |
| 10 |  | Blaqk Audio
Bright Black Heaven
10. Ill-Lit Ships
Will I wake beside you?
I'll be the last to know your name
I'll be the last to want to
You see what you and I have done? |
| 9 |  | There Will Be Fireworks
The Dark, Dark Bright
9. Elder and Oak
And so we lay our backs against the weeds
A stony sainted silence at our feet
A million foundry fires lit up the sky
And as the city slowly stirred they died |
| 8 |  | Avenged Sevenfold
Nightmare
8. Save Me
He may be out of his mind, but someday you will find
That sanity's left us all blind, and dragged us all behind
A moment seen through those eyes, crystal blue disguise
They say that all beauty must die, I say it just moves on |
| 7 |  | Thursday
No Devolucion
7. Turnpike Divides
I've been thinking about those days I wanted to sleep
And you'd wake me up just before you'd leave
And I'd fall back into a dream
Walking in fresh city snow that you'd never seen
And I'd never leave your side |
| 6 |  | Dance Gavin Dance
Mothership
6. Here Comes The Winner
You can find me up on my high horse cutting the bold ones down
They look so hungry, but I'm well-fed, well-dressed dead in the head
It's here, it's right there, for you to take it all
We don't tolerate whining |
| 5 |  | Invalids
Strengths
5. Sherwood Is Connector
“Where was our luck when we needed it?”
Found a solid place to stand,
As long as we could keep still
Counted our last remaining breaths
As a measure of success |
| 4 |  | Circa Survive
The Amulet
4. The Amulet
Have you kissed the ground, in service of the needless
Forgotten face found tucked away
And vacuum black
This ghost has been with you all along |
| 3 |  | PM Today
In Medias Res
3. A Convenient Literary Device For Ending Short Stories And Books
I'm unsure what makes a man
I'm lacking something evident
I luxuriate in deviance to compensate incompetence
Life has been constructed of let downs and wretched love
I'm skeptical of everyone
I've held them in contempt except for one |
| 2 |  | La Dispute
Wildlife
2. You and I In Unison
But if I still hear you singing in every city I meet
After I blur it all out, our every memory, if
You never fade with the days, your shape still haunting me then
Should I not just sing along? |
| 1 |  | Icarus the Owl
Love Always, Leviathan
1. Love Always, Leviathan
Throw your flares into the dark sea
We'll swim and search until we find thee
Buried beneath the coral and the sunlight
We'll try to light the way |
