Lyrics That Appeal To You Today!

Time Is Running Out -- MUSE.

I think I'm drowning
asphyxiating
I wanna break the spell
that you've created

you're something beautiful
a contradiction
I wanna play the game
I want the friction

you will be
the death of me
yeah, you will be
the death of me

bury it
I won't let you bury it
I won't let you smother it
I won't let you murder it

our time is running out
and our time is running out
you can't push it underground
we can't stop it screaming out

I wanted freedom
but I'm restricted
I tried to give you up
but I'm addicted

now that you know I'm trapped
sense of elation
you'll never dream of breaking this fixation
you will squeeze the life out of me

bury it
I won't let you bury it
I won't let you smother it
I won't let you murder it

our time is running out
and our time is running out
you can't push it underground
we can't stop it screaming out
how did it come to this

you will suck the life out of me

bury it
I won't let you bury it
I won't let you smother it
I won't let you murder it

our time is running out
and our time is running out
you can't push it underground
we can't stop it screaming out

how did it come to this
 
dying to get to get away
let the pain of yesterday
go slipping through the cracks
hiding myself away
watching all the memories fade
go from red to black...
 
Central Reservation ~ Beth Orton

Running down a central reservation in last night's red dress,
And I can still smell you on my fingers and taste you on my breath;
Stepping through brilliant shades,
All the color you bring,
This time, this time, this time,
Is whatever I want it to mean.

If this is where memories are made,
I'm gonna like what I see,
And everything that I ever took for granted,
I'm gonna let it be.

I step through every shade,
All the color you bring,
This time, this time, this time,
Is whatever I want it to mean.

And everything and nothing is as sacred as we'd want it to be,
When it's really all,
Make it really all,
Compared to what.

It's like living in the middle of the ocean,
With no future, no past,
And everything that's good about now,
Well, might just glide right past.

I'm stepping through brilliant shades,
All the color you bring,
This time, this time, this time,
Is fine just as it is.

And everything is sacred here,
And nothing is as sacred as I want it to be,
When it's really all compared to what....
 
MISERERE - The Cat Empire

This is the song I have in my sig at the moment... it is probably one of the most beautiful and powerfull songs I have ever heard.

MISERERE
[FELIX] - The Cat Empire

Do you ever look around
turn your ear to the ground
show your face to the sky
on a night when the skies echoe sounds
from inside of your mind
on the stage that you shone
where the sun did become you
and move with your thoughts
through the sighs and the scenes
of the worlds you have seen
and the sights that have been
your reflection in shadows and dreams?
- your reflection in shadows and dreams

Did you ever see a man
who did walk down the street
white robe with no shoes on his feet
and on top of his head place a box with two slits
and the sign from his neck said
‘I do not exist’
or a woman who could not remember her name
did stutter and stutter
again and again
and saw you and called you her son
her eyes said
‘my being is gone
but still I’m not dead’?

Miserere

Have you ever seen a sound
have you listened to an image
have you ever touched a thought
have you ever tasted nothing
have you ever told a lie
that was true more than truth
because truth it had lied
all its life when it spoke to you?
And what did it say
it is that it is this
this goes here here is there
it is not yes it is
it was dulling your senses
your eyes they were bound
have you ever my friends
been looking around?

And the other replies
with a wave of a hand
I am already here
in this promised land
but not by a god and not by a king
and not by a spirit
deep from within
I am here
because a miracle’s a whim
it’s a flash of glory
it’s an empty tin
and maybe might lets you in
not to save you
but to keep on looking-

Miserere…

Have you ever
been so happy that you’re sad?
that the lights turn to stars
and the stars become eyes
and hello’s are goodbye’s
and the laughs are the sigh’s
and the show disappears with the note
‘until next time’

Long live living
if living can be this

Long live living
if living can be this

Long live living
if living can be this

Long live living
if living can be this

Do you ever look around
turn your ear to the ground
show your face to the sky
on a night when the skies echoe sounds
from inside of your mind
on the stage that you shone
where the sun did become you
and move with your thoughts
through the sighs and the scenes
of the worlds you have seen
and the sights that have been
your reflection in shadows and dreams
Do you ever look around
and find what is yet to be found?
 
im very shocked to see some muse in here.. i love that song..
my signature is actually from a song -- (blackout) i may post those lyrics in the future

subdivisions is one of my favorite ruish songs by far, very great band.. the truth behind them maybe too revealing..

the lyrics i want to post now

Tragically Hip - Nautical Disaster

I had this dream where I relished
The fray and the screaming that filled my head all day
It was as though I'd been spit there, settled in , into a pocket
Of a lighthouse off some rocky socket,
Off the coast of France, Dear

One afternoon, four thousand men died in the water here
Five hundred more were thrashing madly as parasites might in you blood
Now I was in lifeboat designed for ten and ten and only,
Anything that systematic would get you hated.
It's not a deal nor a test nor a love of something fated.
The selection was quick, the crew was picked and
those left in the water got kicked off our pant leg and we headed for home.

Then the dream ends when the phone rings
You doing alright he said it's out there ,most days and nights
But only a fool would complain
Anyway Susan if you like our conversation is as faint as the sound in my memory
As those fingernails scratching on the hull
 
Blind Melon -- Mouthful Of Cavities

Mouthful Of Cavities

Mouthful of cavities
Your souls a bowl of jokes
And everyday you remind me
How I'm desperately in need

See, I got a lot of fiends around
And they're peaking through nothing new
They see you
They see everything you do

See everything on the inside, out

Oh, please give me a little more
And I'll push away those baby blues
Cause one of these days this will die
So will me and so will you

I write a letter to a friend of mine
I tell him how much I used to love watch him smile

See I haven't seen him smile in a little while

Haven't seen him smile in a little while

But, I know you're laughing from the inside out
Laughin' from the inside out
I know you're laughing from the inside out
Laughing from the inside
From the inside
From the inside
From the inside
From the inside out
 
when we add up all those inches
that's going to make the fucking difference
between WINNING and LOSING
between LIVING and DYING.

the whole inches speech by al pacino is brilliant. you can relate somethng in that speech to each day of your life.
 
lately ive gotten some priceless looks from people when they see/hear me singing along with this in my car. shit, i never knew i could sing so well =D

i re-bought Community Service II on an impulse solely to hear this song. that cd's been lost since like july and i kept seeing the case lying around & this song kept going thru my head...


"Bizarre Love Triangle"

Every time i think of you
I feel shot right through with a bolt of blue
It's no problem of mine but it's a problem I find
Living a life that I can't leave behind
There's no sense in telling me
The wisdom of a fool won't set you free
But that's the way that it goes
And it's what nobody knows
While every day my confusion grows

Every time I see you falling
I get down on my knees and pray
I'm waiting for that final moment
You'll say the words that I can't say

I feel fine and I feel good
I'm feeling like I never should
Whenever I get this way, I just don't know what to say
Why can't we be ourselves like we were yesterday
I'm not sure what this could mean
I don't think you're what you seem
I do admit to myself
That if I hurt someone else
Then I'll never see just what we're meant to be
Every time I see you falling
I get down on my knees and pray
I'm waiting for that final moment
You'll say the words that I can't say
 
Coheed and Cambria
"Wake Up"

i'm going to ride this plane out of your life again
i wish that i could stay but you argue
more than this i wish you could've seen my face
in backseat staring out the window

i'll do anything for you
kill anyone for you

so leave yourself intact
'cause i will be coming back
in a phrase to cut these lips ,
"i love you"

the morning will come
in the press of every kiss
with your head upon my chest
where i will annoy you
with every waking breath
until you decide to wake up

i earned through hope and faith
the curves around your face
that i'm the one you'll hold forever
if morning never comes for either one of us
then this i pray to you wherever

i'll do anything for you
this story is for you
('cause i'd do anything you want me to..for you)
i'll do anything for you
kill anyone for you
 
Inflammatory Writ - Joanna Newsom

Oh, where is your inflammatory writ?
Your text that would incite a light, "Be lit"?
Our music deserving devotion unswerving--
cry "Do I deserve her?" with unflagging fervor!
(Well, no we do not, if we cannot get over it)

But what's it mean when suddenly we're spent?
Tell me true!
Ambition came and reared its head, and went
Far from you!
Even mollusks have weddings, though solemn and leaden
but you dirge for the dead, take no jam on your bread!
...just a supper of salt, and a waltz through your empty bed.

And all at once it came to me,
and i wrote and hunched 'till four-thirty
But that vestal light, it burns out with the night
in spite of all the time that we spent on it,
on one bedraggled ghost of a sonnet!
While outside, the wild boars root
Without bending a bough underfoot--
O, it breaks my heart; I don't know how they do't.

So don't ask me!

And as for my inflammatory writ?
Well, I wrote it and I was not inflamed one bit.
Advice from the master derailed that disaster;
he said "Hand that pen over to ME, poetaster!"
While across the great plains, keening lovely & awful,
ululate the last Great American Novels--
An unlawful lot, left to stutter and freeze, floodlit.
(But at least they didn't run, to their undying credit.)
 
"The Great Golden Baby"
-Circa Survive

Make your move
Obvious humor
Desperate and respiratory plight

Always on
Dressed to impress
I’ll be the last one to find out why

Time takes its toll on us
This changes everything
I’d be a liar if I denied you at all
Oh, now that I know
This changes everything

I’ve been trading ideas with intriguing men, and I
I percieve an honest solution
To all your plight

Time takes its toll on us
This changes everything
I’d be a liar if i denied you at all
Oh, now that I know
This changes everything

Oh, now that I know
Oh, now that I know

And the amplifier screams out loud for the last time
Wave your hands at the audience as you sink on in
First chance to hide you need desperately so, find me so (so)

Motion gives up on you in the end
I’ll try my best to be home by then
You’ll see the grace we had
But you’ll never have
You’ll never have

I’m going home by my own way
I’m going home by my own


I would really love if you’d sit him down
I would really love if you’d sit him down
I would really love if you’d pull this thread
I would really love if you’d pull this thread
 
Nothing Hurts Like Love ~ Daniel Bedingfield

Broken hearts, broken dreams,
There just some things love brings
When you learn that its all the lie you cry
You find out

Nothing,
Nothing,
Nothing
Hurts like love
Nothing brings your heart so much pain

Broken hearts, broken dreams

There just some things love brings
When you learn that its all the lie you cry
You find out

Nothing,
Nothing,
Nothing
Hurts like love
Nothing brings your heart so much pain

Broken hearts, broken dreams

There just some things love brings
When you learn that its all the lie you cry
You find out

Nothing,
Nothing,
Nothing
Hurts like love
Nothing brings your heart so much pain

Broken hearts, broken dreams

There just some things love brings
When you learn that its all the lie you cry
You find out

Nothing,
Nothing,
Nothing
Hurts like love
Nothing brings your heart so much pain

Broken hearts, broken dreams

There just some things love brings
When you learn that its all the lie you cry
You find out

Nothing,
Nothing,
Nothing
Hurts like love
Nothing brings your heart so much pain

Broken hearts, broken dreams

There just some things love brings
When you learn that its all the lie you cry
You find out.
 
The Jam....It's Too Bad.


All we seemed to do was talk about it.
We always end up shouting about it.
There was a time when we could overcome it.
But it's too late to say we'll just forget it.

It's too bad that we had to break up.
And too much said for us to ever make up.
I could get by if I could just forget you.
But things remind me and I feel so sad now.

Same old feeling everytime I see you.
And every avenue I walk I'm behind you.
Your back is turned and your eyes are closed girl.
You move in circles that are out of my reach now.

We could say we're sorry.
But it's not the point is it?
 
Well I can't tell you anything
You don't already know
I keep on trying
I should just let it go

I keep on singing
Your eyes, they just roll
It sounds like someone else's song
From a long time ago

You already know the story
And the chords are just the same
You already know I love you
And I sound like what's his name

But you can't stop me
I want you to know
I know it sounds like someone else's song
From a long time ago

Wilco - Someone Else's Song

Do you still sing of the mountain bed we made of limbs and leaves?
Do you still sigh there near the sky where the holly berry bleeds?
You laughed as I covered you over with leaves
Face, breast, hips, and thighs
You smiled when I said the leaves were just the color of your eyes

Rosin smells and turpentine smells from eucalyptus and pine
Bitter tastes of twigs we chewed where tangled wood vines twine
Trees held us in on all four sides so thick we could not see
I could not see any wrong in you, and you saw none in me

Your arm was brown against the ground, your cheeks part of the sky
Your fingers played with grassy moss, as limber you did lie
Your stomach moved beneath your shirt and your knees were in the air
Your feet played games with mountain roots as you lay thinking there

Below us the trees grew clumps of trees, raised families of trees, and they
As proud as we tossed their heads in the wind and flung good seeds away
The sun was hot and the sun was bright down in the valley below
Where people starved and hungry for life so empty come and go

There in the shade and hid from the sun we freed our minds and learned
Our greatest reason for being here, our bodies moved and burned
There on our mountain bed of leaves we learned life's reason why
The people laugh and love and dream, they fight, they hate to die

The smell of your hair I know is still there, if most of our leaves are blown
Our words still ring in the brush and the trees where singing seeds are sown
Your shape and form is dim but plain, there on our mountain bed
I see my life was brightest where you laughed and laid your head...

I learned the reason why man must work and how to dream big dreams
To conquer time and space and fight the rivers and the seas
I stand here filled with my emptiness now and look at city and land
And I know why farms and cities are built by hot, warm, nervous hands

I crossed many states just to stand here now, my face all hot with tears
I crossed city, and valley, desert, and stream, to bring my body here
My history and future blaze bright in me and all my joy and pain
Go through my head on our mountain bed where I smell your hair again.

All this day long I linger here and on in through the night
My greeds, desires, my cravings, hopes, my dreams inside me fight:
My loneliness healed, my emptiness filled, I walk above all pain
Back to the breast of my woman and child to scatter my seeds again

Woody Guthrie (lyrics) & Wilco (music) - Remember the Mountain Bed
 
Coldplay - Fix you

When you try your best but you don’t succeed
When you get what you want but not what you need
When you feel so tired but you can’t sleep
Stuck in reverse

And the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can’t replace
When you love someone but it goes to waste
Could it be worse

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

And high up above or down below
When you’re too in love to let it go
But if you never try you’ll never know
Just what you’re worth

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

Tears stream down your face
When you lose something you cannot replace
Tears stream down your face
And i…
Tears stream down your face
I promise you I will learn from my mistakes
Tears stream down your face
And i…

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
 
A song that freakin' owns me right now:

Noise Is The Best Revenge by Morrissey

Hey kid, take my hand
If only for awhile
And tell me all over again

You say noise it's the best revenge
Noise, noise, noise
All you can say is noise it's the best revenge
I know why you're dreaming
Noise, it's the best revenge
I know why you're dreaming too

Hey kid, let me cry
And don't think any less of me
I've been hawking this song for too long

You say noise its the best revenge
There's a right way, there's a wrong way
And there's even a Victorian legal system
But noise, it's the best revenge
I know why you're dreaming
Noise it's the best revenge
I know why you're dreaming too

Hey kid, let me die
A short walk into the dark sky
A final adventure if only I wasn't so tired

You say I know why you're dreaming
I know why you're dreaming
You say I know why you're dreaming
I know why you're dreaming, 'cause it's the only escape
I know why you're dreaming, 'cause it's the only escape to... to...
 
She came without a farthing
A babe without a name
So much ado 'bout nothing
Is what she'd try to say
So much ado my lover
So many games we played
Through ev'ry fleeted summer
Through ev'ry precious day

All dead all dead
All the dreams we had
And I wonder why I still live on
All dead all dead
And alone I'm spared
My sweeter half instead
All dead and gone all dead

All dead all dead
At the rainbow's end
And still I hear her own sweet song
All dead all dead
Take me back again
You know my little friend's
All dead and gone

Her ways are always with me
I wander all the while
But please you must forgive me
I am old but still a child

All dead all dead
But I should not grieve
In time it comes to ev'ryone
All dead all dead
But in hope I breathe
Of course I don't believe
You're dead and gone
All dead and gone
~
Queen - All Dead, All Dead
 
This song just came on iTunes and it rules!

Staring at the Sun by TV on the Radio

Cross the street from your storefront cemetery
Hear me hailing from inside and realize

I am the conscience clear
In pain or ecstasy
And we were all weaned my dear
Upon the same fatigue

(You're staring at the sun)
Oh my own voice
Cannot save me now
It's just
(standing in the sea)
One more breath
And then
I go down

Your mouth is open wide
The lover is inside
And all the tumults done
Collided with the sign
You're staring at the sun
You're standing in the sea
Your body's over me

Note the trees because
The dirt is temporary
More to mine than fact face
Name and monetary

Beat the skins and let the
Loose lips kiss you clean
Quietly pour out like light
Like light, like answering the sun

You're staring at the sun
You're standing in the sea
Your mouth is open wide
You're trying hard to breathe
The water's at your neck
Your body's over me

Be what you will
And then throw down your life
Oh it's a damned fine game
And we can play all night

You're staring at the sun
You're standing in the sea
Your mouth is open wide
You're trying hard to breathe
The water's at your neck
Your body's over me

You're staring at the sun
You're standing in the sea
You're staring at the sun
You're standing in the sea
