X Ambassadors - Litost

Love this song so much; and the lyrics as well. It's in my play list for writing novels, it's what stirs emotions that allow me to write with my soul.

This is the lyrics to the band X Ambassadors- Litost

What have I done
With my heart on the floor
I must be out of my mind
To come back begging for more
But if you stay
If you just stay for the night
Swear that I'm yours
And I'll prove that I'm right

And these flies kept me sleeping
All my fears on their wings
And your grandfather clock is still ticking
But the chime never rings
And how long must I stay
Will I lay by your side
Just to say that I'm yours
And you'll never be mine

With this love like a hole
Swallowed my soul
Dragging me down
And there's blood on the covers
From the curses we uttered
To each other
You played your part in this

Why play hide-and-go-seek
Safe behind your veneer
Does it bury your burden baby
Makes it all dissapear
And those marks on your thighs
Don't they sting when you bleed
It's the way that you are
And the way I'll forever be

With this love like a hole
Swallowed my soul
Dragging me down
And there's blood on the covers
From the curses we uttered
To each other
You played your part
With this love like a hole
Swallowed my soul
Dragging me down
And I swear I'll stay with you
But I just can't forgive you
And I'll never be whole again


The meaning of the word Litost;
Litost is a nearly untranslatable Czech word, a state of feeling miserable and humiliated. ?Litost is a state of torment created by the sudden sight of one?s own misery,?

Oh really; I came across the song one day as I was writing and fell in love right away. I downloaded it and ever since I use it when I write.

I need to go to a concert...lol. I want to see imagine dragons live and The XX, as well as Cold Play.

There are many more; but lately this is what I want to see. X Ambassadors as well. Have you heard the whole album? I'm curious if it's good.

Yeah; that's y listen to them cause they put me in a certain emotional mood; melancholy kind of mood. I'll have to download the rest of the album.

What other bands do you listen to that you like?

Musically I don't discriminate; I like everything , From System Of A Down , to drake.

But I'm more in to alternative music; rock, kind of music. I like indie; I like blue grass, love Blues and Jazz as well Ella Fitzgerald , Billy holiday and more.
