Lyrics

[shizzler6]

What lyrics in any song have hit you really hard, that you found a lot of meaning in?

Mine is from "carry on" by fun.
The song is still unreleased /:

http://m.youtube.com/#/watch?v=JZiD24oR1Xw

"Let your past be the sound of your feet on The ground, carry on"

[Thanatos]

The entire song of Fuckin Perfect by P!nk, as well as Raise Your Glass.

and then from Fort Minor's Remember the Name:
"Mike! - He doesn't need his name up in lights
He just wants to be heard whether it's the beat or the mic
He feels so unlike everybody else, alone
In spite of the fact that some people still think that they know him"

I just feel like it describes me. I've never been one who sought glory or recognition, rather doing all the behind the scenes work to make sure everything gets done. And then as for the 2nd 2 lines I have many hidden layers beneath my sarcastic flirtatious exterior.

[BullDogg13]

Mine is wont back down by Eminem

[Kitty Purry]

Tiny hands, yes that's you
And all you show, it's simply true
I smell your breath,
It makes me cry
I wonder how,
I've lived my life

'Cause without you,
How did I get through
All of my days, without you?
Now living with you,
See everything's true
My baby it's you

With no words at all,
So tiny and small
In love I fall,
So deep, so deep
My precious love,
Sent from above
My baby boo,
God I thank you, God I thank you


'Cause without you,
How did I get through
How'd I get through
All of my days, without you?
Now living with you,
See everything's true
My baby it's you

My Baby By Britney Spears. This song seriously makes me cry sometimes xD, It's so beautiful.

[Syvelocin]

Ugh. Where to start.

Pretty much every Dresden Dolls song. Sing (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c9QuRKWZrjc) very much so. It's the first song I'm going to cover of theirs since I got their sheet music books. :3 And for a reason. Letting go of your insecurities and living. "There is this thing keeping everyone's lungs and lips locked. It is called fear and it's seeing a great renaissance."

Wait It Out - Imogen Heap (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P58tNCBlr3U). It's the exact indecision that I've been feeling for years. In "the endless in-between." It's perfect.

Then I have to say pretty much every slow song on Marilyn Manson's Holy Wood. I like the other ones as well, but the slow ones get to me a bit more (I guess it's that the other ones are more political, in-your-face). In the Shadow of the Valley of Death (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F0OuuIZrpP4), Lamb of God (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c1H8pwehAkY), Coma Black (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jDO2TrYdM70) Their music hits me hard but I find a lot of their early/mid-career albums to be a bit harder to relate to completely. Many phrases I can relate to, some I haven't really figured out the meaning of, some are too political to be personal. As well, the album closer, Count To Six and Die (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_eliVEFZbmI), which I've really tried to interpret a lot since I first heard it. Suicide, obviously, but as well Russian Roulette. You hear the five clicks of a revolver at the end, so you know the final one is the bullet. Not knowing which one will be the bullet that kills you. I can't really relate to it, but it definitely comes to mind as a song that got to me.

That's the basics. :P

[Upintheair]

"Beautiful Disaster" by Jon McLaughlin

She loves her momma's lemonade
Hates the sounds that goodbyes make
She prays one day she'll find someone to need her
She swears that there's no difference between the lies and compliments
It's all the same if everybody leaves her

And every magazine tells her she's not good enough
The pictures that she sees makes her cry

She would change everything, everything, just ask her
Caught in the in between of beautiful disaster
She just needs someone to take her home

She's giving boys what they want
Tries to act so nonchalant
Afraid to see that she's lost her direction
She never stays the same for long
Assuming that she'll get it wrong
Perfect only in her imperfection

She's not a drama queen
She doesn't wanna feel this way
Only 17 and tired, yeah

She would change everything for happy ever after
Caught in the in between of beautiful disaster
She just needs someone to take her home

She's just the way she is
But no one's told her that's OK

She would change everything, everything, just ask her
Caught in the in between of beautiful disaster

She would change everything for happy ever after
Caught in the in between of beautiful disaster
She just needs someone to take her home
She just needs someone to take her home

[AppealToReason]

Someone brought up a really great one over at the SH board.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ML27kyhRDcU

Creep (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XFkzRNyygfk&ob=av3n) and Hurt ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o22eIJDtKho) also hit me really hard.

[Tiggz]

the lyrics to marching on by one republic

[Angel Androgynous]

The lyrics to I hate Jimmy Page by Mindless Self Indulgence.

They are pretty much saying people treat Jimmy Page like a God and saying that people need to move on, and stop thinking that just because something's older then it's more important or better than newer things.
"Well, I don't hate him as a person. I mean, I've never met him. But I hate the way people emulate his music. It's like, c'mon, fucking move on. I don't know if I would hate Jimmy Page if I met him. Not like he'd care since he's probably never heard of me."



I'm just another little faggot with a problem
Fuckin' around over someone else's hard-on
I got the balls with the foul-smelling DJ
Suckas can reach out and touch me and eat me
I lick clit - I like it

Lookin' for love in all the wrong places
Black ala mode with the mummified faces
Am I animal, vegetable, mineral or - ugh
I'm a bad ass, tell me I'm a bad ass
I don't need you and I don't need a break
Now if I wasn't here, I'd be out getting laid
Please please please sing the whole damn song
A 2 minute song is just one minute and 59 seconds too goddamn long

I hate jimmy page
Kick those faggots off the stage
Bite the future and fuck the past
My whole shit will never last

I hold the microphone with my butt now
Who like that song 5-year-old Pantyshot
Yeah yeah dat could be a real big record
Cause it's got the bump with the molestation
I'm lower than most animals and fear what might be weird
And all those voices in my head have every right to be there
I ain't a girl just cause I rock the gold
I ain't a boy just cause I rock your world now
Bad boy don't you fuck my dolly
And I'll kiss my ass and put a motherfucking smile on my face
And I get real stupid and you and you and you can't stop me

I'll show you how official midgets jack me off

I hate jimmy page
Kick those faggots off the stage
Bite the future and fuck the past
My whole shit will never last

One day I'm a do the fuckin' - I'm a screw the fuckin'
No cheese below is gonna show you who you is and there's no need to ask it
He put this out his back and he won't break a shit
When you say that he's nothing - I said that he's nothing
I make the laws - I be the lawmaker
When you looks me upside down don't forget to fuck yourself
You're so wrong with yo jive you don't know me
Why the hell you come to gimme dis
You so wrong with yo jive
Now there are some things in life I don't like
And this is what I just did
So I took a big hit of who da fuck gives a shit
Yo - not I - I am destined to die no
And ADD to me means you don't have to ask me why now
Why do you guys got the ball day rock - ooh

I hate jimmy page
Kick those faggots off the stage
Fuck the future and bite the past
Cause my whole shit will never last

I'll show you how official midgets fuck me off
I'll show you how official midgets jack me off
I'll show you how official midgets jack me off
I'll show you how official midgets jack me off

Oh and another one:
The song Insatiable by Darren Hayes.

When moonlight crawls along the street
Chasing away the summer heat
Footsteps outside somewhere below
The world revolves I let it go
We build our church above this street
We practice love between these sheets
The candy sweetness scent of you
It bathes my skin I'm stained by you
And all I have to do is hold you
There's a racing in my heart
I am barely touching you

[Chorus]

Turn the lights down low
Take it off
Let me show
My love for you
Insatiable
Turn me on
Never stop
Wanna taste every drop
My love for you
Insatiable

The moonlight plays upon your skin
A kiss that lingers takes me in
I fall asleep inside of you
There are no words
There's only truth
Breathe in Breathe out
There is no sound
We move together up and down
We levitate our bodies soar
Our feet don't even touch the floor
And nobody knows you like I do
The world doesn't understand
But I grow stronger in your hands

[Chorus]

Turn the lights down low
Take it off
Let me show
My love for you
Insatiable
Turn me on
Never stop
Wanna taste every drop
My love for you
Insatiable

Turn the lights down low
Take it off
Let me show
My love for you
Insatiable
Turn me on
Never stop
Wanna taste every drop
My love for you
Insatiable

We never sleep we're always holdin' hands
Kissin' for hours talkin' makin' plans
I feel like a better man
Just being in the same room
We never sleep there's just so much to do
Too much to say
Can't close my eyes when I'm with you
Insatiable the way I'm loving you

[Chorus]

Turn the lights down low
Take it off
Let me show
My love for you
Insatiable
Turn me on
Never stop
Wanna taste every drop
My love for you
Insatiable

Turn the lights down low
Take it off
Let me show
My love for you
Insatiable
Turn me on
Never stop
Wanna taste every drop
My love for you
Insatiable

I sound like a lovesick teenager but whatever

[Amnesiac]

"Echoes" (http://youtu.be/6fOdQwc1uuY?hd=1&t=23m16s) is a song that gets me every time. It's not just the soothing lyrics, but the music as well. The instrumental passages are just great. This is one of the handful of songs I can sit down, put on a set of headphones and listen to and just relax, taking in all the little details, like the cymbal crashes and guitar bends and vocal harmonies.

Overhead the albatross hangs motionless upon the air
And deep beneath the rolling waves
In labyrinths of coral caves
The echo of a distant tide
Comes willowing across the sand
And everything is green and submarine.

And no-one called us to the land
And no-one knows the wheres or whys
But something stirs and something tries
And starts to climb towards the light

Strangers passing in the street
By chance two separate glances meet
And I am you and what I see is me
And do I take you by the hand
And lead you through the land
And help me understand the best I can

And no-one calls us to move on
And no-one forces down our eyes
And no-one speaks and no-one tries
And no-one flies around the sun

Cloudless everyday you fall upon my waking eyes
inviting and inciting me to rise
And through the window in the wall
Come streaming in on sunlight wings
A million bright ambassadors of morning

And no-one sings me lullabies
And no-one makes me close my eyes
And so I throw the windows wide
And call to you across the sky

I don't know if this is some sort of commentary on the human condition or just a song about the ocean, but it's relaxing to me, personally, nonetheless. When you read these lyrics, they may not seem like they're about anything at all, but when you listen to them they kind of blend into the mood of the song, which is "epic".

[MonsterBear]

fort minor- where'd you go
eminem-mockingbird & when im gone
christina aguilera-hurt

They always bring me to tears especially where'd you go. i fully relate to all of these songs. i hate how i feel about them but at the same time it helps me get over my past.

[Amaryllis]

Sometimes I wish I was someone other than me
Fighting to make the mirror happy
Trying to find whatever is missing
Won't you help me back to glory?

I wanna be beautiful
Make you stand in awe
Look inside my heart and be amazed
I want to hear you say
Who I am is quite enough
Just wanna be worthy of love and beautiful

[Bard95]

Iris by The goo goo dolls.... this song is undoubtedly the best lyrics you will ever hear

[StoppingTime]

Just about every Linkin Park song, filled with meaning.

[HeartCoreHannah]

Between You And I by Every Avenue

Would you believe me if I said I was sorry
The question wasn't mean to hurt,
It was just my fear of losing you.
And now you're filling all the space that surrounds you
I'll soon be tucked away underneath your bed
Where you gave yourself to me.
Where I gave myself to you.

Maybe it's all for the best,
But I just don't see any good in this, no.
Maybe we'll find something better
But the lovers that leave us
Will always hold the place

Maybe it was wrong of me to think I could keep you
And maybe it's the last few drinks
Taking over my mouth and all I've been thinking
I want you to know that I am fine here without you
But I can't bring myself to lie to you.
And since we're being honest, I feel I should tell you
I've been filling up the empty space between you and I

Between you and I, she could never compare to you
Between you and I, I still keep your pictures underneath my bed
Where she gives herself to me.
Where I give myself to you.

Maybe it's all for the best,
But I just don't see any good in this, no.
Maybe we'll find something better
But the lovers that leave us
Will always hold the place, oh...

Yeah...

Maybe it's all for the best,
I just don't see any good in this, no.
Maybe we'll find something better
But the lovers that leave us
Will always hold the place
Yeah the lovers that leave us
Will always hold the place

[Plane And Simple]

What are words - Chris Medina

Anywhere you are, I am near
Anywhere you go, I'll be there
Anytime you whisper my name, you'll see
How every single promise I keep
Cuz what kind of guy would I be
If I was to leave when you need me most

What are words
If you really don't mean them
When you say them
What are words
If they're only for good times
Then they don't
When it's love
Yeah, you say them out loud
Those words, They never go away
They live on, even when we're gone

And I know an angel was sent just for me
And I know I'm meant to be where I am
And I'm gonna be
Standing right beside her tonight
And I'm gonna be by your side
I would never leave when she needs me most

What are words
If you really don't mean them
When you say them
What are words
If they're only for good times
Then they don't
When it's love
Yeah, you say them out loud
Those words, They never go away
They live on, even when we're gone

Anywhere you are, I am near
Anywhere you go, I'll be there
And I'm gonna be here forever more
Every single promise I keep
Cuz what kind of guy would I be
If I was to leave when you need me most

I'm forever keeping my angel close

Rozz Williams suicide note and poem/song, "Dec. 30, 1334". And yes, he did kill himself not too long after the release of "The Whorse's Mouth". Listen here. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8fRh0XHBja0) Oh course, this is going to get hidden by a shitload of Lady Gaga, Britney Spears, Linkin Park and all that fucking bullshit that's apparently 'deep and emotional' but really means nothing at all.

----------------------------------------------------------------

By the time you hear this message, I'll be gone
Forced to this conclusion by the hands of time and a voice that whispers, "No other choice"
Sound of distant gunfire on the blue horizon
RISING SLOW DRIP SEX DRIVE PULSING CHOAS THROUGH DISCORDANT VEINS
Yes, I have passed away, passed on, passed falsely through those pearly gates
I was somehow taken by hand, unawares, and led to this fork in the road
Now I have arrived at a conjecture of parallel madness, a narrow pathway
divided by millions of fragented lives
lived as one. So you do not believe in love, yet it is love that has destroyed me
I lay my body down, spent shell, as proof
Place my coffin next to yours as if to say - "This is what I've always longed for"
Well it's been many years in calling, and by calling out the names, who did I wish to hear from?
Those who have stroked me? Fucked me? Disregard me - John or is it Judas?
Stuck like a knife in flesh resiliant and now they do not distract me
And one more thing before I go - I go without regret
Forget tomorrow's awakening, today has found its end

A moment of silence please, for those dead or dying
The world around us stands still, briefly, then BANG! BANG!
Shattered and back to the next rouine
Up ahead, on that hot, dusty road, take a look around you
Have you walked this road before? Buried loved ones here? (All are loved ones here)
Well, of all places, it was the last I had expected to find you crawling on
I held out my hand and it was not taken by the other's, but instead, kissed wetly
Left behind dripping venom and blue lust all mixed with blood
I've been told you make an incision then suck the poison out
But some of us, as you well know, dear brother, long for such childhood pleasures
And driven by some wild, inner beast, I mount my childhood steed
I race off, crazy, towards the pale horizon
A fiery haven that makes my body quake
And in my doing so, I leave behind another wounded soldier in the dust,
another mangled junk heap just like me
And pushing onward, pressing forward - suspicion rears its ugly head
And I suspect, in every manner, that we have met somewhere before
That in our various travels, we have passed each other several times
That you have, in many an instance, haunted me
Strode with me to the landscape of multiple shadows which marks our place amongst the dead
Yes there is a blinding image of you, doubled over, placed before me
And in your eyes I detect the same savage fears that I have battled all my life,
that I still struggle fiercely to escape
Yet escape I fail to do. And picking myself up off the floor, I admonish you never again to fall
Follow the leader to new terrains, terminate eternal backlash of the
grown up world, a world that neither you nor I belong to

I notice a small boy, shyly smiling next to mine - they spat and laughed
and fucked each other several times
I hold this vision in memoriam, my sweet shattered youth
I erect a temple in my blazing heart to house the treasures such as these
An abundance of star lit memories prove to be of comfort in my hours of need
And now I see that I have reached the pale horizon

You are beside me, all around me, but how I wish you were here
I miss you more than you may know
I love you like no other

In fond remembrance and deepest longing-
Your brother...

Really every song off the "Whorse's Mouth" is amazing and I've never read any poetry better then it on that album. Of course there's most of the Daughters songs that I could post too, which I'll probably do later.

[JackShephard]

All these things that I've done - by the killers
"when there's nowhere else to run, is there room for one more son..." this song describes my fear of not being a good enough person. I want to be perfect, but I am human. I want to meet my God but I don't know if he wants to meet me. Uncertainty scares the shit out of me.

I'm not calling you a liar - by florence and the machine
"I'm not calling you a liar, just don't lie to me... There's a ghost in my lungs and it sighs in my sleep" this song describes how I'm infatuated with this girl. I am so in love, I have become a different person. It controls me. I will possess her heart (<yes another song reference! Lol)

Disenchanted - by my chemical romance
"how will matter after I'm gone, because you never learned a goddamn thing. your just a sad song, with nothing to say, about a life long wait for a hospital stay"
This song describes to me how I went through a stage in my life where I was addicted to pills and it refers to the turning point where I leave behind my addiction and pick myself up from rock bottom. I had to leave behind some friends. They rejected me. They couldn't find it in themselves to do the same. And for them, I am sad.

Sober - by Pink
"When it's good, then it's good, it's so good, 'till it goes bad
Till you're trying to find the you that you once had
I have heard myself cry
Never again
Broken down in agony
And just trying to find a friend"
This song is another one about addiction. I used it as a security blanket. My brother died a while ago and I used pills to escape reality. A truly dark time for me. That part always makes me tear up.

[embers]

Oh course, this is going to get hidden by a shitload of Lady Gaga, Britney Spears, Linkin Park and all that fucking bullshit that's apparently 'deep and emotional' but really means nothing at all.

mfw this is exactly what happens in the post after

edit: whoever neg repped me for this: i deal with it on a daily fucking basis.

One love by Bob Marley and Jammin

One Love, One Heart
Let's get together and feel all right
Hear the children crying (One Love)
Hear the children crying (One Heart)
Sayin' give thanks and praise to the Lord and I will feel all right
Sayin' let's get together and feel all right

Let them all pass all their dirty remarks (One Love)
There is one question I'd really like to ask (One Heart)
Is there a place for the hopeless sinner
Who has hurt all mankind just to save his own?
Believe me

One Love, One Heart
Let's get together and feel all right
As it was in the beginning (One Love)
So shall it be in the end (One Heart)
Give thanks and praise to the Lord and I will feel all right
One more thing

Let's get together to fight this Holy Armageddon (One Love)
So when the Man comes there will be no no doom (One Song)
Have pity on those whose chances grove thinner
There ain't no hiding place from the Father of Creation

Sayin' One Love, One Heart
Let's get together and feel all right
I'm pleading to mankind (One Love)
Oh Lord (One Heart)

Give thanks and praise to the Lord and I will feel all right
Let's get together and feel all right

Well... To name a few: Jesus Christ, Life Ain't So Shitty, Dig, Soundtrack 2 my life, Hope for a higher power... The list goes on and on. Music is my therapist.

Jesus Christ:

"Do you believe you're missin' out
That everything good is happening somewhere else?
But with nobody in your bed
The night's hard to get through

And I will die all alone
And when I arrive I won't know anyone

Well, Jesus Christ, I'm alone again
So what did you do those three days you were dead?
'cause this problem's gonna last more than the weekend."

Life Ain't So Shitty:

"life ain't so shitty
There's a lot that you can be
And ain't it a pity
But it's alright, to smile back at me
And if we both go there
We can count on problems that I might not necessarily
come in contact with if you don't know where I'm coming' from "

Dig:
"
We all have a weakness
But some of ours are easy to identify.
Look me in the eye
and ask for forgiveness;
We'll make a pact to never speak that word again.
Yes, you are my friend.

We all have something that digs at us.
At least we dig each other.
So when weakness turns my ego up
I know you'll count on the me from yesterday."

Soundtrack 2 my life:
"I got 99 problems
and they all bitches."

Hope For A Higher Power:
"Ive been looking for something supernatural for a long time now
but I never got proof that a spiritual realm existed wanted to find how
everybody sure of a supreme being, are people just seeing things?
wondering if we get wings, seems sick to believe in an extreme king
I know it sounds far fetched, every night i put knees on the carpet
then I pray to who's up with the star set
cause the earth in its self is a target
for destruction, for combustion
cause there ain't too many you can trust in
think of all the women losing their husbands
in Iraq a lot of killing and suffering
what i hope for, seems folklore
when the enemy kills and gloat more
cause they killing us off in this hoax war
then I wake up yelling and my throats sore
cause the fight's there, its a nightmare
if it come to me I'm in my snipe wear
if a bullet give my lung a slight tear
I wanna believe that the light's there
so all you Christians don't get mad at me
i just hope that your mystical, magical miracle's working catastrophes
and this ain't blasphemy, but artillery is my strategy
I hope for a higher power when i look at all these tragedies"

To Write Love on Her Arms by Helio:
Well she won't leave this
night alone
And she won´t sleep at all
And all the sorrow that she
takes out on herself
It comes around and leaves
her bleeding on the floor
and she knows, yeah she
knows that there's a lot of
ugly things about this world
These street lights, they
shine bright, as they
illuminate the darkness of
the pavement
They shine, as we try to
write it on her arms, the
love she longs to taste
And we'll find that inside,
that she's a broken heart
that anyone could save
It's alright, it's alright, it's
alright
Feeling worthless, self-
destruction
Try to take control of this
Find a purpose,
reconstruction
Write it somewhere it will
stick
And stars are hiding now,
but there's something out
there still
And she knows, yeah she
knows that there's an awful
lot of beauty in this world.
These street lights, they
shine bright, as they
illuminate the darkness of
the pavement
They shine, as we try to
write it on her arms, the
love she longs to taste
And we'll find that inside,
that she's a broken heart
that anyone could save
It's alright, it's alright, it's
alright
The stars are always there
But we miss them in the
dirt and the clouds
We miss them in the storms
Remember hope
Remember hope
Hold on to hope
We have hope
Hold on to hope
We have hope
(it's alright, it's alright, it's
alright)

Since last that we parted down by a river
