Lyrics That Appeal To You Today!

[cxsx]

Idle juvenile on the street, on the street
Who is kicking everything with his feet, with his feet
Fighting on the wrong side of the law, of the law
Don't kick, don't fight, don't sleep at night
And shake a leg
Shake a leg
Shake a leg
Shake it again

Keeping out of trouble with eyes in the back of my face
Kicking ass in the class and they tell me you're a damn disgrace
They tell me what they think but they stink and I really don't care
Got a mind of my own, move on, get out of my hair
Shake a leg, shake your head
Shake a leg, wake the dead
Shake a leg, get stuck in
Shake a leg, shake a leg

Magazines, wet dreams, dirty women on machines for me
Big licks, skin flicks, tricky dicks are my chemistry
Goin' against the grain, trying to keep me sane with you
So stop your grinnin' and drop your linen for me
Shake a leg, shake your head
Shake a leg, wake the dead
Shake a leg, get stuck in
Shake a leg, shake a leg

Shake it
Come on

Idle juvenile on the street, on the street
Kicking everything with his feet, with his feet
Fighting on the wrong side of the law, of the law
Spitting and bitin' and kicking and fightin' for more
Shake a leg, shake your head
Shake a leg, wake the dead
Shake a leg, get stuck in
Shake a leg, play to win
Shake a leg, shake your head
Shake a leg, wake the dead
Shake a leg, get stuck in
Shake a leg, shake a leg

Shake it
Oh yeah

AC/DC - Shake A Leg


maaaaan! these lyrics are appealing to me on a couple different levels. on a physical level cos i'm going to join karate again and it makes me wanna kick the shit outa somethin. and totally on a spiritual level where it goes "wake the dead." let's see there's physical , spiritual, intellectual - cos of the whole intellectual independence thing goin on. emotional? it just psyches me out and that's basically my outlook on life right now. and then i was also diggin Pantera - A New Level, that's a helluva tune right there too - uhmm.. that guitar riff in it reminded me of Shake A Leg and everything n junk. oh and uhmmm.. on a sexual level too heh heh.

Shinedown: Better Version.

Excuse the mess, I didn't see you from behind
I caught a glimpse but the reflection's only mine
It's almost like I'm paralyzed and locked outside myself
What I don't need is to concede because I won't be someone else
I am not perfect and I don't claim to be
And if that's what you wanted
Well then I'm so sorry

How about a better version of the way that I am?
How about a better version that makes me understand?
How about a better version of the way that I am?
The way I look, the way I speak,
how about a better version of me?

Excuse the wall, I put it up from time to time
A silver shade, and the design is all mine
It's just a maze that everyday I seem to be stuck in
It never seems to fade away but I pray for the day it ends

I am not perfect and I don't claim to be
And if that's what you wanted
Well then I'm so sorry

Show me my vital signs until I'm realigned.

Rishloo-Narcissist Code

Crown all the thieves and you worship the liars
And bow down before every whore in a tie
Lost to the end though the sun also rises
And those who would dare bring the turn of the tide

Arrogant serenity
Falter on the scale when I weigh you

This doubt may breed desires
For truth
For truth

Glare just long enough to convey your displeasure
As drops, one by one, start to fall in the pool
Blurring the sight of a misplaced alliance
Where deaf lead the blind, and the blind lead the
fools

Ignorant security
Falter on the scale when I weigh you

This doubt may breed desires
To look deeper than the surface
And to dare to understand
All the mysteries residing beneath

These reflections of a purpose, false impressions
of a past
That exist only to serve the elite

Fuck all these complacent sheep
Chasing after every prize
Begging at the masters' feet
Happy to ostracize
Fuck all those who will not see
Further than the mirror's lies
Fuck you and your vanity
It's too late, we're out of time
To stand idly by and wait
So why don't you take this chance
And find a place to
Feast on the wealth of your self-indulgence
While the meek and the worthy change
This world again
Gnawing away at your precious elegance
I hope that you like the taste
For there you shall stay
Lost

Henry Rollins (rollins Band) from 'The End of Silence' Albumn


" Low Self Opinion "

I think you got a low self opinion man
I see you standing all by yourself
Unable to express the pain of your distress
You withdraw deeper inside
You alienate yourself
And everybody else
They wonder what’s on your mind
They got so tired of you
And your self ridicule
They wrote you off and left you behind

You sleep alone at night
You never wonder why
All this bitterness wells up inside you
You always victimize
So you can criticize yourself
And all those around you

The hatred you project
Does nothing to protect you
You leave yourself so exposed
You want to open up
When someone says
Lighten up
You find all your doors closed
Get yourself a break from self rejection
Try some introspection
And you just might find
It’s not so bad and anyway
At the end of the day
All you have is yourself and your mind
The self hatred that blinds you
Binds you grinds you keeps you down
The world falls down around you
You build up walls around you
You wear disgust like a crown

If you could see the you that I see
When I see you seeing me
You’d see yourself so differently
Believe me

I know the self doubt that runs inside your mind
I know the self that treats you so unkind

If you could see the you that I see
When I see you
You would see things differently
I assure you



...i love to listen to this when i need a bit of a psyche up - kind of slaps me out of any self-loathing i may be experiencing temporarily! hehe...

 

[AlphaCharlieID]

I wanted you to know I love the way you laugh
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain away
I keep your photograph; I know it serves me well
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain

‘cause I’m broken when I’m open
And I don’t feel like I am strong enough
‘cause I’m broken when I’m lonesome
And I don’t feel light when you’re gone away

The worst is over now and we can breathe again
I wanna hold you high, you steal my pain away
There’s so much left to learn, and no one left to fight
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain

‘cause I’m broken when I’m open
And I don’t feel like I am strong enough
‘cause I’m broken when I’m lonesome
And I don’t feel right when you’re gone away

‘cause I’m broken when I’m open
And I don’t feel like I am strong enough
‘cause I’m broken when I’m lonesome
And I don’t feel light when you’re gone away

Crappy i know... but i like this Seether song.. Broken

The Smiths - Asleep

Sing me to sleep
Sing me to sleep
I’m tired and i
I want to go to bed

Sing me to sleep
Sing me to sleep
And then leave me alone
Don’t try to wake me in the morning
’cause I will be gone
Don’t feel bad for me
I want you to know
Deep in the cell of my heart
I will feel so glad to go

Sing me to sleep
Sing me to sleep
I don’t want to wake up
On my own anymore

Sing to me
Sing to me
I don’t want to wake up
On my own anymore

Don’t feel bad for me
I want you to know
Deep in the cell of my heart
I really want to go

There is another world
There is a better world
Well, there must be
Well, there must be
Well, there must be
Well, there must be
Well ...

Bye bye
Bye bye
Bye ...

elliott smith - "either/or (no more)"

You're strong, you're stubborn now
In an endless symbolic war
Brave or bored, either/or

Sometimes I ricochet from the past
And at times a future I’ve already had before
Champion or chore, either/or.

I’ll write the pages you rip out, back in their places again
One day you’ll know what you’re talking about
I can hardly imagine, but until then I’ll be

Filling in these blanks that you create
Every time you win some petty score
Posing as hardcore, oh yeah, either/or

Look at the spin chief, battered and broken
Clutching a plastic rose
We’re all in the downpour you carry around for
Trashing a lifestyle you’ve never known

It’s a useful dream that makes
Quite an entertaining show and not much more
Up against and for, either/or

 

[blase deviant]

Apoptygma Berzerk - Paranoia

Chew the pill that tastes like hell, but gives you strength Embrace the drug that makes you mad, cause still it turns you into Something else Feel the need for love grows stronger! Swap your mind for a mirror-search, and shake until the break of day

One day you'll realize that you were wrong And you'll regret that all this happened Did it (all) happen? Some day you'll realize that you were wrong (You'll be) Left with paranoia, (as your only friend)

Your mind is full of enemies, the room is full of energies That want to take control They're all around you, and you're all alone Your mind is full of enemies, the room is full of energies Haunting your soul They're all around you, and you're on your own

One day you'll realize that you were wrong You'll regret that all this happened Some day you'll realize that you were wrong To be left with Paranoia

Handshake Drugs - Wilco


I was chewin' gum for something to do
The blinds were being pulled down on the dew
Inside, out of love, what a laugh
I was looking for you

Saxophones started blowing me down
I was buried in sound
Taxicabs were driving me around
To the handshake drugs I bought downtown
To the handshake drugs I bought downtown

They were translated poorly, I felt like a clown
I looked like someone I used to know
I felt alright
And if I ever was myself
I wasn't that night

Oh it's okay for you to say
What you want from me
I believe that's the only
Way for me to be, exactly
What you want me to be

Oh it's okay for you to say
What you want from me
I believe that's the only
Way for me to be
Exactly what you want me to be

Oh I was chewin' gum for something to do
The blinds were being pulled down on the dew
Inside, out of love, what a laugh
I was looking for you

Saxophones started blowin' me down
I was buried in sound
The taxicabs were driving me around
To the handshake drugs I bought downtown
To the handshake drugs I bought downtown

Oh it's okay for you to say
What you want from me
I believe that's the only
Way for me to be
Exactly what do you want me to be?
Exactly what do you want me to be?

Felt like a clown
They were translating poorly
I looked like someone
I used to know
And if I ever was myself
I wasn't that night

Exactly what do you want me to be?
Exactly what do you want me to be?

The End of the World - Skeeter Davis

Why does the sun go on shining?
Why does the sea rush to shore?
Don’t they know it’s the end of the world
'cause you don’t love me anymore?


Why do the birds go on singing?
Why do the stars glow above?
Don’t they know it’s the end of the world
It ended when I lost your love


I wake up in the morning and I wonder
Why ev’rything is the same as it was
I can’t understand, no, I can’t understand
How life goes on the way it does!


Why does my heart go on beating?
Why do these eyes of mine cry?
Don’t they know it’s the end of the world?
It ended when you said goodbye


Don’t they know it’s the end of the world?
It ended when you said goodbye.


Goodbye to Love - the Carpenters

I’ll say goodbye to love
No one ever cared if I should live or die
Time and time again the chance for love has passed me by
And all I know of love is how to live without it
I just can’t seem to find it

So I’ve made my mind up
I must live my life alone
And though it’s not the easy way
I guess I’ve always known

I’d say goodbye to love

There are no tomorrows for this heart of mine
Surely time will lose these bitter memories
And I’ll find that there is someone to believe in
And to live for something I could live for

All the years of useless search
Have finally reached an end
Loneliness and empty days will be my only friend
From this day love is forgotten
I’ll go on as best I can

What lies in the future is a mystery to us all
No one can predict the wheel of fortune as it falls
There may come a time when I will see that I’ve been wrong
But for now this is my song

And it’s goodbye to love
I’ll say goodbye to love

Johnny Cash - Hurt



I hurt myself today
to see if I still feel
I focus on the pain
the only thing that's real
the needle tears a hole
the old familiar sting
try to kill it all away
but I remember everything
what have I become?
my sweetest friend
everyone I know
goes away in the end
and you could have it all
my empire of dirt

I will let you down
I will make you hurt

I wear this crown of thorns
upon my liar's chair
full of broken thoughts
I cannot repair
beneath the stains of time
the feelings disappear
you are someone else
I am still right here

what have I become?
my sweetest friend
everyone I know
goes away in the end
and you could have it all
my empire of dirt

I will let you down
I will make you hurt

if I could start again
a million miles away
I would keep myself
I would find a way

 

[suki_lives]

In My Life - The Beatles


There are places I remember
All my life, though some have changed
Some forever not for better
Some have gone and some remain
All these places had their moments
With lovers and friends
I still can recall
Some are dead and some are living
In my life I've loved them all

But of all these friends and lovers
there is no one compares with you
And these memories lose their meaning
When I think of love as something new
Though I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life I love you more

drugs

Rob Crow - Drugs

I don't even know what to say
except that maybe it should be important
and I don't even know its name
if it were a dog I'd call it Rover
ah ah ah
ah ah ah
and then something should go right here
maybe something about being an alcoholic
and the skyrocketing price of beer
I wish I could do drugs


p.s. you probably already know, but hurt isn't cash. he did throw "thorns" in though. : )

 

[Tryptamine*Dreamer]

Legendary Pink Dots - Lucifer Landed

"Dance for me!" he calls out from the fence but we just shake a little.
"Fall for me!" We fall and make amends with holy Marys. I can't look you in
the eye because your heel is pressing hard upon my head. You terrify me
truly - you petrify me half to death. You're telling me that you feel
mysterious today. Walk with me... or may I walk with you? What does it take?
Be with me... I can still remember being weightless, feeling free. I could
dance without a hundred fingers pointing, where the laughs were never mean.
And I know there's something out there. And I know I'm going to get there...
Please don't be mysterious today...

 

[The Anti-Man]

Life Is A Pigsty - Morrissey

It’s the same old S.O.S.
But with brand new broken fortunes
And once again I turn to you
Once again I do I turn to you

It’s the same old S.O.S.
But with brand new broken fortunes
I’m the same underneath
But this you, you surely knew

Life is a pigsty
Life is a pigsty
Life is a pigsty
Life is a pigsty

Life, life is a pigsty
Life, life is a pigsty
Life, life is a pigsty
Life is a pigsty

And if you don’t know this
Then what do you know?
Every second of my life I only live for you
And you can shoot me
And you can throw me off a train
I still maintain
I still maintain
Life, life is a pigsty
Life is a pigsty
And I’d been shifting gears all along my life
But I’m still the same underneath
This you surely knew
I can’t reach you
I can’t reach you
I can’t reach you anymore

Can you please stop time?
Can you stop the pain?
I feel too cold
And now I feel too warm again
Can you stop this pain?
Can you stop this pain?
Even now in the final hour of my life
I’m falling in love again
Again
Even now in the final hour of my life
I’m falling in love again
Again
Again
Again
I’m falling in love again
Again
Again
Again

"I dreamed a dream" - Les Miserables

There was a time when men were kind,
And their voices were soft,
And their words inviting.
There was a time when love was blind,
And the world was a song,
And the song was exciting.
There was a time when it all went wrong...

I dreamed a dream in time gone by,
When hope was high and life, worth living.
I dreamed that love would never die,
I dreamed that God would be forgiving.
Then I was young and unafraid,
And dreams were made and used and wasted.
There was no ransom to be paid,
No song unsung, no wine, untasted.

But the tigers come at night,
With their voices soft as thunder,
As they tear your hope apart,
And they turn your dream to shame.

He slept a summer by my side,
He filled my days with endless wonder...
He took my childhood in his stride,
But he was gone when autumn came!

And still I dream he'll come to me,
That we will live the years together,
But there are dreams that cannot be,
And there are storms we cannot weather!

I had a dream my life would be
So different from this hell I'm living,
So different now from what it seemed...
Now life has killed the dream I dreamed...

 

[(Wordy)]

The Chameleons - Second Skin

One cold damp evening
The world stood still
I watched as I held my breath
A silhouette I thought I knew
Came through
And someone spoke to me
Whispered in my ear
This fantasy's for you
Fantasies are "in" this year

My whole life passed before my eyes
I thought
What they say is true
I shed my skin and my disguise
And cold, numb and naked
I emerged from my cocoon
And a half remembered tune
Played softly in my head

Then he turned smiling
And said
I realise a miracle is due
I dedicate this melody to you
But is this the stuff dreams are made of?
If this is the stuff dreams are made of
No wonder I feel like I'm floating on air
Everywhere
It feels like I'm everywhere

It's like you fail to make the connection
You know how vital it is
Or when something slips through your fingers
You know how precious it is
Well you reach the point where you know
It's only your second skin

 

[Mysterier]

One Of Us by Hell Is For Heroes

One Of Us

we've been abducted
my head corrupted
sharp shock commotion
stirs up confusion
we failed to notice
blinded by daylight
this grand delusion
we lost the track

i stand corrected
captain arrest me
these bones upon me
plastered and fractured
make your selection
through gaps in memory
they tell their own tale
playing for time..

for all the steps that we can take
we'll never close the open space
so captain get us out of here
return us to the fear we know

to guard against the animals
a shelter from the avalanche.

 

[Tryptamine*Dreamer]

Sentenced - The Luxury Of A Grave

On day zero my mother was expecting the worst
And out of my father´s ass I was born, feet first

"Oh, no."

The most horrendous piece of feces ever forced
To be disposed of is what I was created for

Oh, no...[I´m sorry that I was born!]...so wrong!

When death releases you from me
Just dump my foul remains on some near-by field
- I don´t deserve a grave
When you finally get rid of me
Just let my corpse decay...unburied
- I do NOT deserve the luxury of a grave

My worthlessness is something there is no doubt of:
- I am a waste of the filth I was made out of

How low...[I´m sorry I´m still alive]...can I go!?

When death releases you from me
Just dump my foul remains on some near-by field
- I don´t deserve a grave
When you finally get rid of me
Just let my corpse decay...unburied
- I do NOT deserve the luxury of...

Oh, no...a coffin would be way too nice
Oh, no...a see-through plastic bag will do just fine

When death releases you from me
Just dump my foul remains on some near-by field
- I don´t deserve a grave
When you finally get rid of me
Just let my corpse decay...unburied
- I do NOT deserve the luxury of a grave...

Songs: Ohia

Tigress

it's difficult not to worry about what happens next
certain looks sort out confused looks
and certain looks sport confused looks
and I watched us talking in the mirror
and you put on that look
that says this little star wishes she weren't single
it is the eye that catches me a man protesting his worth
it is the year that catches you putting the shake on your words
you are alert as a tigress at a common table with her fate
you can almost taste it
we'll be gone be morning or be together by then(x2)
and I believe every woman has made up her mind to win
