Symphony Soldier

Symphony Soldier


Fighting with music has always been a cool concept.

Like  Rap battles (I only know about those from Pitch Perfect) or like the Choirs from the old Testament that would go out before the battle and perform, their goal to intimidate the enemy.
Other times people use music to talk about their fights, usually over their love or something.

I'm finding myself super awkward again. I mean-I've always been a little out of tune when it comes to people my own age and holding a decent conversation-but with boy's it's like learning Martian-ese, some foreign space language that has no ties to any language on Earth. So, my conversation skills are pretty useless-especially when I can chat with an adult no prob-but if you introduce another teenager into the group-say Adios my amigo, I'm outta here!

It's just hard, you know? Maybe it's the whole deal that I read so much and write, that my skills are fine-it's my brain that needs a kick in the heiny to get a move on. 
*shudder* ugh, talking to people-ugh ugh ugh ugh.

I think I just need to recharge my people batteries-you know?

Turning sixteen and all last Thursday (that's right yo-Happy birthday to me!) and celebrating pretty much all weekend had me ready to eat some people's heads off, should they try and talk to me.
I know, I know-sweet little Liz? Wanting to eat people's heads off? Oh the humanity! Well-when I need some quiet time between me, Spotify and some chocolate, get outta he way buddy-ain't nobody gonna stop me. And then there's school-I swear, the place makes me weak in the knees from sheer imagination
Moving on from the pity party!

One of my top favorite songs-Angel with a Shotgun really brings fighting with music kind of to life:

(I'm an angel with a shotgun, shotgun, shotgun, An angel with a shotgun, shotgun, shotgun..)
Get out your guns, battles begun, are you a saint, or a sinner? If loves a fight, than I shall die, with my heart on a trigger.
They say before you start a war, you better know what you're fighting for. Well baby, you are all that I adore, if love is what you need, a soldier I will be.
I'm an angel with a shotgun, fighting til' the wars won, I don't care if heaven won't take me back. I'll throw away my faith, babe, just to keep you safe. Don't you know you're everything I have? ..and I, wanna live, not just survive, tonight.
Sometimes to win, you've got to sin, don't mean I'm not a believer. ..and major Tom, will sing along. Yeah, they still say I'm a dreamer.
They say before you start a war, you better know what you're fighting for. Well baby, you are all that I adore, if love is what you need, a soldier I will be.
I'm an angel with a shotgun, fighting til' the wars won, I don't care if heaven won't take me back. I'll throw away my faith, babe, just to keep you safe. Don't you know you're everything I have? ..and I, wanna live, not just survive, tonight.

I'm an angel with a shotgun.. fighting til' the wars won.. I don't care if heaven won't take me back..
I'm an angel with a shotgun, fighting til' the wars won, I don't care if heaven won't take me back. I'll throw away my faith, babe, just to keep you safe. Don't you know you're everything I have? (I'm an angel with a shotgun) ..and I, want to live, not just survive, tonight. (Live, not just survive)
..and I'm gonna hide, hide, hide my wings tonight.
They say before you start a war, you better know what you're fighting for. Well baby, you are all that I adore, if love is what you need, a soldier I will be. So there you go! I want to Live, not just survive-and that's good enough for me tongiht ;) Godbless LizB
