I got two pale hands up against the window pane
I'm shaking with the heat of my need again
It starts in my feet, reverbs up to my brain
There's nothing I can do to revert the gain
I'm looking down to the street below
There's nothing in the way they move to show
They too, know what I knew
They too hunger for the beast below
Listening to the radio I feel so out of place
There's a certain something missing that the treble can't erase
I know you can tell just by looking at my face
A word about my weakness

I'm totally addicted to bass
Totally addicted to bass

There's nothing I can do to be cool
I don't sleep 'til I've had my fuel
It frustrates if I am deprived
A hunger that grates from deep inside
I feel like I'm doing time
Imprisoned by dependence on a rhythm sublime
In my mind I must overcome the need to define
The solitary silence of a faceless crime

Standing by the stereo I'm feeling so alone
My back against a speaker and I'm moving on my own
Surrounded by so many and they're staring at my face
They're picking up my problem

I'm totally addicted to bass
Totally addicted to bass

Your bassline is shooting up my spine
Your bassline has got me feeling fine
It's filling up my mind

Sunrise at my window, I look down on the street
People I see everywhere are tapping their feet
Suddenly I realise in a look that I was wrong
Everybody's groovin' to their own song
Down at the scene below
There's something in the way they move to show
They too, know what I know
They too hunger for the beast below

Rhythm's running over me to wash away my fears
The backbeat of humanity it sweetens my tears
There's something that's connected us down throughout the years
No need to feel so lonely, everyone's addicted to bass

Your bassline is shooting up my spine
Your bassline has got me feeling fine
It's filling up my mind
Your bassline is shooting up my spine
Your bassline
Your bassline has got me feeling fine
It's filling up my mind...



Haha so... who plays manri bass?

This post may stand out as random in the midst of all the happier, J-rock posts >_< But I have always wanted this for the past 4.5 years already and counting... Cos I want to feel close to God again.

Somehow over the past 4.5 years, I feel as if I am drifting away although I keep trying to cling on. I lose my determination to read the Bible everyday. Sometimes I lose my determination to even complete my prayers. I have become more wishy-washy in my standards. Have I become too open minded for my own good?

I know I can't rely on human strength alone but the other half seems to be lacking (or have I drifted so far that I can't even feel it anymore? God forbid). But yet, I know and tell myself that no matter what happens, I am blessed... Sometimes I wonder if I have accumulated such a thick sludge of sins that all prayers I send out to Him cannot be heard by Him anymore. How do I throw my whole heart into God again? How to take the plunge and never look back? I used to know but now, I feel that I don't.

I think its time to pick up the guitar and play Christian songs more often (now, time spent on secular songs = 90% and time spent on Christian songs = 10% >_<). Cos those are the times I feel that I "talk" best to Him. Music seems to transcend not only the language barrier but the spritual ones too, sometimes...
