Never Forget!!
I will never forget my experience Friday with Sick Puppies. That afternoon I was interviewed and put on the radio with Mark the Shark from TK101. This started my day off AWESOME! Later on, my friend Brittney and I were able to attend the meet and greet with Sick Puppies. At this point I was jumping out of my skin I was so excited. When I made to the table, I introduced myself to Shim.
Megan: "Hi my name is Megan, I am your interpreter this evening.I interpreted for you last time yall played at bayfest."
Shim: "Yea, I heard you on the radio."
I was able to get the band to sign my cd, while I was on cloud nine.
During the concert, I started interpreting the first couple of songs. I then switched with Sarah, a girl who was down in Mobile from Troy. While I was feeding signs to Sarah, I was watching the concert. At one point Shim looked at me and I could not understand at the time what he was saying. I then switched with Sarah to close out their set list. Sick Puppies had two songs left, and all the sudden I hear Shim ask me to get on the main stage with him. I could not climb over, so I ran around to the back of the stage. He said he wanted to see if I could keep up, and started singing. I could hardly contain myself. I could see my friend Brittney standing down where I was with her mouth open in shock. Shim asked what my name was and even announced it to the crowd of people. I even got a hug from Shim during this point. I can now die happy. This was the BEST experience at Bayfest and I do not believe anything could top it!!

Sick Puppies - There's No Going Back (Explicit)
"There's No Going Back"
I had a plan and it made God laugh
It didn't work, should've checked the math
I hit the wall 'cause I live too fast
I didn't know it could hurt that bad
I clung to hope when there was none
I should've known that was so dumb
(Whoa oh oh oh)
(Whoa oh oh oh)
I was a dick when I was seventeen,
I thought the world owed me everything
But who I am and who I'll never be
Is all the shit that happens in between
(Whoa oh oh oh)
(Whoa oh oh oh)
There's no going back,
When life's a loaded gun, you pull the trigger, trigger
There's no going back
The past is in the past
Thank God it doesn't last forever
There's no going back
Fuck that going back
There's no going back
Fuck that going back
Yesterday was another life
Turning left didn't turn out right
Stuck in hell when I was twenty-five
You can't regret what you don't decide
I should have stayed, should have let go
Should've, could've means you'll never know
(Whoa oh oh oh)
(Whoa oh oh oh)
There's no going back
When life's a loaded gun, you pull the trigger, trigger
There's no going back
The past is in the past
Thank God it doesn't last forever
There's no going back
Fuck that going back
There's no going back
Fuck that going back
The future I'm living now
Is not what I'd thought it'd be
The person I was before
Is nothing like me
The future I'm living now
Is the way that I want it to be
The minute I walk through the door
I slam it behind me
There's no going back
When life's a loaded gun, you pull the trigger, trigger
There's no going back
The past is in the past
Thank God it doesn't last forever
There's no going back
Fuck that going back
There's no going back
Fuck that going back
Halestorm - Love Bites (So Do I) [Official Video]
"Love Bites (So Do I)"
Don’t listen what your girlfriend says
She reads those magazines
That say you failed the test
You don’t have what she needs
I slither like a viper
And get you by the neck
I know a thousand ways to help you forget about her
That bitch can eat her heart out!
Love bites, but so do I, so do I.
Love bites, but so do I, so do I.
Love bites!
My lips are pale and vicious.
You’re foaming at the mouth.
You’ve suffered in the darkness.
I’ll suck the pain right out.
So come and taste the reason
I’m nothing like the rest.
I kiss you in a way you’ll never forget about me.
That chick can eat her heart out!
Love bites, but so do I, so do I.
Love bites, but so do I, so do I, so do I!
It checks you in and kicks you down,
And chews you up and spits you out.
It messes with your sanity by twisting all your thoughts around.
They say it’s blind they say it waits but every time it seals your fate.
And now it’s got you by the balls it won’t let go until you fall.
I was down and out, got up I said “Hey love I’ve had enough!”
I’ve felt pleasure without pain.
My soul you’ll never tame!
Love bites, but so do I.
Love bites, but so do I, so do I
Love bites, but so do I, so do I, so do I!
Love bites, but so do I, so do I.
Love bites!
Love bites!
Halestorm - I Miss The Misery [Official Video]
"I Miss The Misery"
Ohhh, I miss the misery!
I've been a mess since you stayed,
I've been a wreck since you changed,
Don't let me get in your way,
I miss the lies and the pain,
The fights that keep us awake-ake-ake
I'm tellin you!
I miss the bad things,
The way you hate me,
I miss the screaming,
The way that you blame me!
Miss the phone calls,
When it's your fault,
I miss the late nights,
Don't miss you at all!
I like the kick in the face,
And the things you do to me!
I love the way that it hurts!
I don't miss you, I miss the misery!
I've tried but I just can't take it,
I'd rather fight than just fake it (cause I like it
Rough),
You know that I've had enough,
I dare ya to call my bluff,
Can't take to much of a good thing
I'm tellin you!
I miss the bad things,
The way you hate me,
I miss the screaming,
The way that you blame me!
Miss the phone calls,
When it's your fault,
I miss the late nights,
Don't miss you at all!
I like the kick in the face,
And the things you do to me!
I love the way that it hurts!
I don't miss you, I miss the misery!
Just know that I'll make you hurt,
(I miss the lies and the pain what you did to me)
When you tell me you'll make it worse
(I'd rather fight all night than watch the TV)
I hate that feelin inside
You tell me how hard you'll try
But when we're at our worst
I miss the misery
I miss the bad things,
The way you hate me,
I miss the screaming,
The way that you blame me.
I miss the rough sex,
Leaves me a mess,
I miss the feeling of pains in my chest!
Miss the phone calls,
When it's your fault,
I miss the late nights,
Don't miss you at all!
I like the kick in the face,
And the things you do to me!
I love the way that it hurts!
I don't miss you, I miss the misery!
I don't miss you, I miss the misery!
