Against the 'love' shmucks

Anti-Valentines Day, WHO CARES IF WE'RE ALONE songs:


Since You're Gone - The Pretty Reckless
The sassy line "If I say 'I love you' I am a liar" pretty much sums up the attitude of this song; most likely about an Ex that really needs keep his mouth shut, because Miss Momsen is not buying his nice act.
Since You're Gone gives me the urge to sashay in a pair of heels JUST to make my (non-existent) Ex jealous. A tad bit sadistic, eh? I vote sassy all of the way with "Well, meet my lover Gin and I don't have to pretend, since you're gone"

Wicked Ways - Five Finger Death Punch
The heaviest piece here, Wicked Ways is a perfect song to listen to when pissed off and one can vent frustration through it.
I suspect this song was written more about a gold-digger, but it can pertain to a vast array of personal subjects.
"You'd say anything to get anywhere in life" *insert the name of whom you thought of from those lyrics* wouldn't it be lovely to just tattoo that on said person's forehead?
See chorus: "You've got an evil wicked way of saying I love you, I'd love to: Tear away from everything you are; you've got an evil wicked way about you, I hate you"
I do not have to tell you that the music (drums especially) is fantastic, a musical ensemble of SCORNED

Made of Stone - Evanescence
As usual for me, Evanescence created a song that can be my anthem.
 Amy Lee draws us in while singing with restrained angst "Speak your mind, like I care. I can see your lips moving, I just learned not to hear", then she lets the emotion go, freeing the frustration and venting out "It's never enough for you, baby! Don't want to play your games anymore, no matter what you say. I'm all out of love for you, baby. And now that I've tried everything, I'll numb the pain 'til I made of stone"
I'll admit that I have sang this aloud while sauntering about haughtily....it's THERAPY, PEOPLE.
Overall Made of Stone is a masterpiece; Troy McLawhorn and Terry Balsamo truly shine in this song, as they give it just the right amount of spice at certain moments (please take advantage of these moments with a nice hair-flip)

What were you expecting? - Halestorm
For anyone that never liked Valentine's day and couldn't care less about being alone (we prefer independent) THIS SONG *headbangs* is the one for y'all
Lzzy Hale is the epitome of independent and kick-assness. The proof is in the pudding: "(I never was)
The touchy, feely, co-dependent kind.
I like the feeling but I'm not on cloud nine"
and "I don't need your flowers, they'll just go to waste. I don't want your candy cause I don't like the taste"
Can you say "HOLY CRAP, I COULDN'T HAVE SAID IT BETTER MYSELF, GIRL. THANK YOU" ?
This song fits the bill for any feminist and some guys will relate to this very well, as long as they aren't those weridos that refuse to relate to a female fronted song *has feminist tendencies*
I love how Lzzy's lyrics reflect this 'are you freaking kidding me right now?' attitude "What were you expecting? Another lullaby? Are you kidding? You must be high..."
Plus her screams could make a potential ex boyfriend pee in his pants...an added humiliation bonus


This concludes my Anti-love shmucks post, I think I got a little bit girly on you, but hey.
