Song of the Moment XLVIII: Linkin Park’s “The Messenger” (Again)

Once again, Linkin Park’s “The Messenger” is my Song of the Moment. Why? It soothes my heart which has been aching for weeks, and I will need to listen to it more in the coming days.

When you’ve suffered enough and your spirit is breaking
You’re growing desperate from the fight
Remember you’re loved and you always will be
This melody will bring you right back homewa

To my loved ones, I’m holding on. I’m really trying to hold on.

Song of the Moment XXXV: Living Colour’s “Cult of Personality” (Again)

For some strange reason, the 1st thing I do when I feel happy is listen to a favorite song. It’s either “The Pretender” by Foo Fighters (my favorite song of all time), Finn Bálor’s 1st theme song (I love this song over his current one), or “Cult of Personality” by Living Colour (an excellent hard rock song and CM Punk’s theme song). Today, I’m listening to the latter on repeat. Again.

(This is the 2nd time “Cult of Personality” is my Song of the Moment. You can check out the 1st post here.)

I hope this happy mood lasts for long. And speaking of CM Punk, his rivalry against Drew McIntyre is one of the most exciting storylines in WWE recently, and they have not fought in a match yet. I’m looking forward to their inevitable bout.

Happy week ahead, everyone!

The Wall II

Now’s the perfect time to break the wall
and let out the loudest bawl
for I am finally reinvigorated
and depression is obliterated

Now’s the perfect time to break the wall
and get ready for the next brawl
All of my demons should run
My road to redemption has begun

Now’s the perfect time to break the wall
and tell Death to recall
This is not the end of my story
I will run through life with fury
