PLAYLIST

1.) BAD DREAMS by CONQUER DIVIDE (feat. OF VIRTUE)

“These thoughts in my head / Keep me down / This cycle makes me feel like I'm to blame / I am everywhere and nowhere, all the same.”

2.) BARELY BREATHING by FROM ASHES TO NEW (feat. AGAINST THE CURRENT)

“You sold a lie and I believed it / And everything you put me through / Is gonna come back to you / And if it kills you then we’re even.”

3.) LONG WAY DOWN by LOVELY MACHINE

“Can you see the truth in the lies / Or just the hell that we're living in? / It goes on and on, such a long way down / And we can't find another way out.”

4.) WHERE WAS I? by PYRO (feat. OHIO)

“Say something, do nothing / It’s hard to move on when you’re gone so young / Can all our memories bring you home?”

5.) COME ALIVE by HOYO-MIX

“I come alive / Burn in the night like wildfire / Find me in the great unknown / I'm following the stars.”

6.) GODHEAD: FINAL TEMPLE by EIDOLA

“Line by line / I’ll be enough / Until the walls come down / And all we know is trust / It’s never over.”

7.) PUPPETS CAN'T CONTROL YOU by ONE OK ROCK

“Don't like who I'm becoming / I can't keep running / Searching for an answer / Re-reading every chapter / There's no happy ever after when it's over.”

8.) A DIFFERENT SHADE OF MISERY by ACRES

“Inside of my head doesn't feel right / And everything stops and I can't find / A reason to keep holding on.”

9.) STARTING OVER by NEVERTEL

“I feel my spirit sinking / Feel it in my chest / Hard to connect / Russian roulette / Keep on playing with the devil that’s inside my head.”

CINEMATOGRAPHY

I watched the first season of Interview with a Vampire and I quite liked it. It wasn't as groundbreaking as I was hoping for based on the hype I've seen, but it also didn't disappoint. Hopefully I won't procrastinate season 2 for too long, because I do want to watch that!
