Colors, Part IV

[urgencytobleed]

The number of songs left is dwindling, so there'll most likely only be one more post after this to complete the theme. As for this post, today's chosen colors are gold and silver.

• Bright Eyes - Going for the Gold

They will detail their pain in some standard refrain that will recite their sadness like it's some kind of contest. Well, if it is, I think I am winning it, all beaming with confidence as I make my final lap. The gold medal gleams so hang it around my neck because I am deserving it, the champion of idiots.

• Elizabeth & the Catapult - Golden Ink

They say it's easy to forget your calling when you're used to being tossed aside but I can't stand the thought of ever losing all that beauty I once promised never to let go.

• The Good Life - A Golden Exit

I once had a heart but hearts are like snowflakes and snowflakes, they're smothering us, one warm touch and they melt away.

• Mates of State - Middle Is Gold

You can get only what it is you want - it's always the same, by and by.

• Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Gold Lion

Outside, inside, this is a moon without a tide. We'll build a fire in your eyes, we'll build a fire when the color's getting brighter.

• Charlotte Martin - Silver Honey

Remember the nights she needed a nearby rescue crew? Dreaming herself infrared and not knowing what to do, circling and circling and spinning around, finding ways to peel herself off of the ground. Now the empty chatter in her head never shakes the sound.

• Whispertown2000 - Silver Talkin' Spoon

No, I won't fight you like you're used to, baby. No, I won't get used to you loving me.
