The Pacific - Sledge/Snafu - Like a Bad Connection
like a bad connection [ sledge/snafu. ]
[ vnv nation ] carbon.
a million points of light ascending to the sky. monuments in darkness standing watch
until the sun will rise. screaming to an emptiness of how we deified ourselves. with our
hands over eyes, what inspires in us this madness? can someone see our self destruction?
are we reminding ourselves that our existence is so delicate, that without this light
we are no more?
[ the mountain goats ] beautiful gas mask.
crash in from deep space, shot birds falling fast, who will be there to catch us in his jaws
when we arrive at last? i can't hear you in the dark, wish i knew where you'd gone. know you're
there off in the shadows somewhere, try to soldier on. never sleep, remember to breathe deep.
never sleep, remember to breathe.
[ eulogies ] bad connection.
i'll find my feet and i'll walk away from here. hope you find me, if i try to run away.
if only, i could look it in the face. i'll find my heart and i'll cut away the strings,
won't be attached to everything. we're like a bad connection i wanna fix, i'll turn my
life around to make our ends meet.
[ wintersleep ] the dead.
- instrumental -
[ damien rice ] rootless tree.
what i want from you, is empty your head. we do what we need to be free and it leans on me
like a rootless tree. what i want from this is learn to let go, no, not of you, of all that's
been told. killers reinvent and believe, and this leans on me. so fuck you, fuck you, fuck you,
and all we've been through. i said leave it, and hate me so good so that you can let me out.
and fuck you, fuck you, i love you.
[ cobra starship ] the kids are all fucked up.
how could you know? why would you care? i'm losing control, are you getting scared?
they don't know about us, everyone's asleep when we play. now it's too late to go,
it's getting light out. i know you don't wanna sleep here alone. the world is fading,
i'm here with you, if you start shaking i'll get you through. don't worry now, just take it
easy.
[ backseat goodbye ] swallow the sun.
i've got a lot of life and you've got nothing, nothing. i've got a lot of life and you.
i've spent 21 years replacing my old fears for new ones, i've got 7 days 'til a new week
comes and 24 hours to convince myself i'm real 'cause today i'm not so sure i exist. can't
you just pretend you're a good kid? can't i just pretend i really give a shit, even though
i don't really know how i want to live? i promise i'll be a better person this time next year.
[ bell x1 ] in every sunflower.
my book has more bookmarks than pages 'cos it takes me ages. i wouldn't swap the pain,
for never knowing you. i wouldn't swap the pain, 'cos it was worth it for the view. we're
still watching your rainbow through the shower. and we still see you in every sunflower.
we're still watching, i make days from the hours. and i still see you in every sunflower,
every screaming sunflower. i wouldn't swap the pain for never knowing you.

or individual tracks
[masterlist of mixes]
a/n: while in the midst of working on other mixes, i somehow ended up with the songs for a sledge/snafu mix -- and songs that fell together so perfectly. 'rootless tree' had been in my head for a long time for these two, and ugh, they just translate to music so beautifully. a wartime/post-war mix!
enjoy the mix! comments are appreciated and loved, as always. ♥
