Zero 7 - Destiny
I lie awake
I’ve gone to ground
I’m watching porn
In my hotel dressing gown
Now I dream of you
But I still believe
There’s only enough for one in this
Lonely hotel suite
The journey’s long
And it feels so bad
I’m thinking back to the last day we had.
Old moon fades into the new
Soon I know I’ll be back with you
I’m nearly with you
I’m nearly with you
Chorus:
When I’m weak I draw strength from you
And when you’re lost I know how to change your mood

And when I’m down you breathe life over me
Even though we’re miles apart we are each other’s destiny
On a clear day
I’ll fly home to you
I’m bending time getting back to you
Old moon fades into the new
Soon I know I’ll be back with you
I’m nearly with you
I’m nearly with you
Chorus (2x)
I’ll fly, I’ll fly home
I’ll fly home and I’ll fly home
 
I'm Your Man by Leonard Cohen
If you want a lover
I'll do anything you ask me to
And if you want another kind of love
I'll wear a mask for you
If you want a partner
Take my hand
Or if you want to strike me down in anger
Here I stand
I'm your man
If you want a boxer
I will step into the ring for you
And if you want a doctor
I'll examine every inch of you
If you want a driver
Climb inside
Or if you want to take me for a ride
You know you can
I'm your man
Ah, the moon's too bright
The chain's too tight
The beast won't go to sleep
I've been running through these promises to you
That I made and I could not keep
Ah but a man never got a woman back
Not by begging on his knees
Or I'd crawl to you baby
And I'd fall at your feet
And I'd howl at your beauty
Like a dog in heat
And I'd claw at your heart
And I'd tear at your sheet
I'd say please, please
I'm your man
And if you've got to sleep
A moment on the road
I will steer for you
And if you want to work the street alone
I'll disappear for you
If you want a father for your child
Or only want to walk with me a while
Across the sand
I'm your man
If you want a lover
I'll do anything you ask me to
And if you want another kind of love
I'll wear a mask for you
--
This is one of the most beautiful songs i have ever heard.

hope it's not bad manners to follow up my own post. i read about the Johnny Cash cover of Hurt a couple of days ago and was reminded what moving words they are:
Hurt by Nine Inch Nails
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
you could have it all
my empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt
I wear my crown of shit
on my liar's chair
full of broken thoughts
I cannot repair
beneath the stain of time
the feeling disappears
you are someone else
I am still right here
what have I become?
my sweetest friend
everyone I know
goes away in the end
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
alasdair
 
I'm not a Mariah Carey fan at all but I read these lyrics somewhere, and the second verse of the song describes everything so well
BREAKDOWN - MARIAH CAREY
you called yesterday
to basically say
that you care for me but
that you're just in love
immediatley i pretended to be
feelin similarly
and led you to belive it was ok
to just walk away from the one
thing that's unyeilding and sacred
to me
but i guess i'm trying to be
nonchalant about it
and i'm goin to extremes
to prove i'm fine without you
but in reality i'm
slowly losin my mind
beneath that guise of a smile
gradually i'm dyin inside
friends ask me how i feel
and i lie convincingly
cause i don't want to reveal
the fact that i'm suffering
so i wear my disguise
till i go home at night
and turn down all the lights
and then i break down and cry
so what do you do when
someone you're so devoted to
just suddenly stops loving you
and it seems they haven't got a clue
of the pain that rejection is
putting you through
do you cling to your pride
and sing "i will survive"?
do you lash and say
"how dare you leave this way"?
do you hold on in vain
as they just slip away?
 
My December - Linkin Park
This is my December
This is my time of the year
This is my December
This is all so clear
This is my December
This is my snow covered home
This is my December
This is me alone
And I
Just wish that
I didn't feel
Like there was
Something I missed
And I
Take back all
The things I said
To make you
Feel like that
And I
Just wish that
I didn't feel
Like there was
Something I missed
And I
Take back all the
Things I said to you
And I give it all away
Just to have somewhere
To go to
Give it all away
To have someone
To come home to
This is my December
These are my snow covered dreams
This is me pretending
This is all I need
And I
Just wish that
I didn't feel
Like there was
Something I missed
And I
Take back all
The things I said
To make you feel like that
And I
Just wish that
I didn't feel
Like there was
Something I missed
And I
Take back all the things
I said to you
And I give it all away
Just to have
Somewhere to go to
Give it all away
To have someone
To come home to
This is my December
This is my time of the year
This is my December
This is all so clear
And I give it all away
Just to have somewhere
To go to
Give it all away
To have someone
To come home to
And I give it all away
Just to have somewhere
To go to
Give it all away
To have someone
To come home to
 
Are "Friends" Electric? - The Replicants
(origonally by Gary Numan i think)
it's cold outside
and the paint's peeling off of my walls
there's a man outside
in a long coat, grey hat, smoking a cigarette
now the light fades out
and i'm wondering what i'm doing in a room like this
there's a knock on the door
and just for a second i thought i remembered you
so now i'm alone
now i can think for myself
about little deals
and S.U.'s
and things that i just don't understand
like a white lie that night
or a slight touch at times
i don't think it meant anything to you
so i open the door
it's the `friend' that i'd left in the hallway
"please sit down"
a candle lit a shadow on a wall near the bed
you know i hate to ask
but are `friends' electric?
only mine's broke down
and now i've no one to love
so i find out your reason
for the phone calls and smiles
and it hurts
and i'm lonely
and i should never have tried
and i missed you tonight
so it's time to leave
you see it meant everything to me

'Not An Addict' (Kay's Choice)
I think this is a beautiful song.....
Breathe it in and breath it out
and pass it on,it's almost out
We're so creative,so much more
we're high above but on the floor
It's not an habit,it's cool,I feel alive
If you don't have it you're on the other side
The deeper you stick it in your vein
the deeper the thoughts,there's no more pain
I'm in heaven,I'm a god
I'm everywhere,I feel so hot
It's not a habit,it's cool,I feel alive
If you don't have it you're on the other side
I'm not an addict,maybe that's a lie
It's over now,I'm cold,alone
I'm just a person on my own
Nothing means a thing to me,
nothing means a thing to me
It's not a habit,it's cool,I feel alive
If you don't have it you're on the other side
I'm not an addict,maybe that's a lie
Free me,leave me,watch me as I'm going down
Free me,see me,look at me I'm falling and I'm falling
It is not a habit it is cool I feel alive I feel,
It is not a habit it is cool I feel alive
It's not a habit it's cool I feel alive,
If you don't have it you're on the other side
I'm not an addict, maybe that's a lie
 
Dedicated to a certain someone who seems to think that fucking with my head is the way to get me back:
"Love To Hate, Hate To Me" - A Static Lullaby
Read the tale of my desire
Never walked away
A book of hate
Never exhale
1000 volts
I never walked away
For every smile you gave me
Never exhale
As your eyes close
I'll bring before the sight of true unhappiness
Whisper I care
Then gracious enough to let you go
Remember me for the times I ruined you
Not I made you smile
Take this blade to my wrist
Help me end what makes you ugly
Swimming in the pools of my mind
You come to me at night
Leave me black and save yourself
Never walked away
A book of hate
Never exhale
1000 volts
I never walked away
For every smile you gave me
Never exhale
The story prolongs
With each word my stomach starts to turn
I have swallowed nails
So I can never say your name
Now words are heard through my eyes
Take this blade to my wrist
Help me end what makes you ugly
Swimming in the pools of my mind
You come to me at night
Leave me black and save yourself
Can you see the fire that burns from my heart
This song is for you
So perfect
It's my fault I can't sleep cause you're on my mind
I have made an attempt to have you
Light up this cigarette
Tonight I will sleep with the gun in my mouth
Goodbye my love
 
Special Ones By George
isn't it funny how you never really screamed at my face
but your anger so unspoken &unchannelled permeates my essence to the point where i
don't wanna see u, hear u, be anywhere, near u
you probably think i'm threatened by u and your illusionary power doesn't threaten me
actually i think it's funny that u create an illusion that is a mirror
I don't appreciate you and i know that that surprises you
I suppose you see that those who follow their heart always win
those with integrity have won the match before it's begun
So rather then being kicked around, i'm gunna kick u to the curb
So rather than being pushed around, i'm gunna push u away first
so rather then trying to protect you, i'm gunna cover my bases first
so rather then trying to open my heart i'm gunna lock it with a key
so that only the special ones can ever get through to me
some can see beyond the barrier of threshold
whereas others can see beyond their sculptured mould
you could offer me nothing, you could offer me nothing that i need
do u think i'm asking too much?
A kind of respect and trust that shouldn't even be questioned
how can i open my heart with dishonesty sitting next to me?
I've honoured your honour to the point of embarressemnt
but innocence in the hands of the guilt free is kicked to, is kicked to the curb
I was ashamed of my innosence, I was ashamed of my innosence
but now with clarity i see that your bullshit is just not worthy of me
I don't wanna be angry....
this is not worthy of me and nopw with clarity i see that i can walk away, i can walk away
A good song to listen to when your pissed off about your boyfriend/girfriend..ex's
 
ive been obsessed with this song for the last few days... and despite the words, and despite how they apply to me, expecially the bolded ones, im happy :)
I Was a Teenage Hand Model - Queens of the Stoneage
One, two, five, nine
Cozied up to the toilet
Face stuck to the floor
I met expectations that
I was tryin to ignore
Job had such patience
I wonder, what’s that like?

One hundred thousand million
But I hear
That’s what you like
So I was thinkin
So these cities are sprouting
Like a spit in the eye
And this world isn’t waiting
It’s just passing me by
I just peak in the window
Lookin inside
The butcher’s got a fork in your face
I’m standing alive
And I was singin
 
The Pixies - Hey
hey
been trying to meet you
hey
must be a devil between us
or whores in my head
whores at my door
whores in my bed
but hey
where
have you
been if you go i will surely die
we're chained
uh said the man to the lady
uh said the lady to the man she adored
and the whores like a choir
go uh all night
and mary ain't you tired of this
uh
is
the
sound
that the mother makes when the baby breaks
we're chained

Tired of sex

I'm tired
So tired
I'm tired of having sex (so tired)
I'm spread
So thin
I don't know who I am (who I am)
Monday night I'm making Jen
Tuesday night I'm making Lyn
Wednesday night I'm making Catherine
Oh why can't I be making love come true?
Whoa
I'm beat
Beet red
Ashamed of what I said (what I said)
I'm sorry
Here I go
I know that I'll resent it but I can't say no (say no)
Thursday night I'm making Denise
Friday night I'm making Sharise
Saturday night I'm making Louise
So why can't I be making love come true?
Tonight I'm down on my knees
Tonight I'm begging you please
Tonight tonight please
So why can't I be making love come true?

Viðrar Vel Til Loftárása - Sigur Ros

Ég Læt Mig Líða Áfram
Í Gegnum Hausinn
Hugsa Hálfa Leið
Afturábak
Sé Sjálfan Mig Syngja Fagnaðarerindið
Sem Við Sömdum Saman
Við Áttum Okkur Draum
Áttum Allt
Við Riðum Heimsendi
Við Riðum Leitandi
Klifruðum Skýjakljúfa
Sem Síðar Sprungu Upp
Friðurinn Úti
Ég Lek Jafnvægi
Dett Niður
Ég Læt Mig Líða Áfram
Í Gegnum Hausinn
Ég Kem Alltaf Niður Á Sama Stað
Alger Þögn
Ekkert Svar
En Það Besta Sem Guð Hefur Skapað
Er Nýr Dagur

translation:

Good Weather For Airstrikes - Sigur Ros

I Slide Myself Forward
Through My Head
I Think Half Way
Backwards
See Myself Sing The Anthem
That We Wrote Together
We Had A Dream
We Had Everything
We Rode To The End Of The World
We Rode Searching
Climbed Skyscrapers
That Later Exploded
The Peace Was Out
I Leak Balance
Fall Down
I Slide Myself Forward
Through My Head
I always come back to the same place
Total Silence
No Answer
But The Best Thing God Has Created
Is A New Day
 
First,

The Tear Garden, _Tired Eyes Slowly Burning_
"You and Me and Rainbows" (highlights only)

Down here everything is fine.
We have a straw. We have a line.
We have a bag, a ROCK, A MOUNTAIN,
With a string of sheperds driving lions,
Aiming skewers at the sheep, face down
Asleep, face down, in onion fields.

Also,

"Through the big time bomb.
Through the big time bomb.
Through the big time bomb." (some kind
of happy hardcore)

Finally,

"Put a gun in my hand and pretend you don't care."--Scott Bond Gatecrasher CD with pink lion emblem.
 
Evanescence ~ Bring me to Life

How can you see into my eyes
like open doors.
Leading you down into my core
where I've become so numb.
Without a soul
my spirit's sleeping somewhere cold
until you find it there and lead it back home.

(Wake me up.
Wake me up inside.
I can't wake up.
Wake me up inside.
Save me.
Call my name and save me from the dark.
Wake me up.
Bid my blood to run.
I can't wake up.
Before I come undone.
Save me.
Save me from the nothing I've become.

Now that I know what I'm without
you can't just leave me.
Breathe into me and make me real
Bring me to life.

[Chorus]

Bring me to life.
I've been living a lie
There's nothing inside.
Bring me to life.

Frozen inside without your touch,
without your love, darling.
Only you are the life among the dead.

All of this sight
I can't believe I couldn't see
Kept in the dark
but you were there in front of me

I've been sleeping a 1000 years it seems.
I've got to open my eyes to everything.

Without a thought
Without a voice
Without a soul

Don't let me die here
There must be something wrong.
Bring me to life.

[Chorus]

Bring me to life.
I've been living a lie
There's nothing inside.

Bring me to life

In light of what's happening in the world..

Louis Armstrong - What A Wonderful World

I see trees of green,
red roses too.
I watch them bloom
for me and you.
And I think to myself,
What a wonderful world.

I see skies of blue
and clouds of white.
The bright blessed day,
the dark sacred night.
And I think to myself,
What a wonderful world.

The colours of the rainbow
so pretty in the sky,
Are also on the faces
of people passing by.

I see friends shaking hands,
saying 'How do you do?'
They're really saying
I love you.

I hear babies cry,
I watch them grow.
They'll learn much more
than I'll ever know.
And I think to myself,
What a wonderful world.
 
today, listening to a mix tape and thinking of good times with people i miss, i came across this. cin, john, chris, kimmy, kelly, i miss you guys

500 Channels - leftover crack


500 channels of a day dream stimulation
helps me to resent my life and raise my expectations
locked into re-runs your memories repeating
and all your ideals seem so self defeating
for you and yours the pepsi generation
and when you're discontent you change the T.V. station
and when you hate your life, no qualtities redeeming
a million brainwashed zombies will always be heard screaming

** and when there is no hope
"I smoke some crack, I shoot some dope!"
when theres no enemies
"I sit and stare at my T.V.
and in my ignorance
"I'll be a slave and sycophant!"

and in a perfect world devoid of all temptation
the good leftover crizack could unite the nations
but now the war machines are mapping our destructions
with poisons over flowing in the chemical seductions

** and when there is no hope
"I smoke some crack, I shoot some dope!"
when theres no enemies
"I sit and stare at my T.V.
and in my ignorance
"I'll be a slave and sycophant!"

with my credit and my bank
my mind will draw a blank
i'll block out history
and stare at my T.V.
for me there is no way
500 channels waste my life away
 
Tree - Engulfed

(dedicated to Mr. Bush)


Engulfed
(Print the Lyrics)


"I'm engulfed I'm engulfed in flames lessons go unlearned so we all burn I'm engulfed I'm engulfed in games in who's name Saddam insane engulfed I'm engulfed by the greedy, rich profit of his young death, causing his last breath I'm engulfed I'm engulfed in lies the truth's revealed but my young friend still dies

I'm engulfed I'm engulfed the Persian gulf, I'm engulfed I'm engulfed the Persian gulf

I'm engulfed by time, the first war in history that started on a deadline I'm engulfed I'm engulfed in oil boiled in oil in horror I recoil engulfed I'm engulfed in sin where do I begin when this happens all again I'm engulfed by the fucking military boosting the economy but costing us a tragedy

I'm engulfed I'm engulfed the Persian gulf, I'm engulfed I'm engulfed the Persian gulf

I'm engulfed I'm engulfed by war you know I thought for sure that we learned from this before engulfed I'm engulfed in twisted views on my TV news giving me the blues engulfed by our foreign policy biblical revelation and damnation engulfed by the possibility of possible catastrophe and all those casualties...PEACE!! "
 
yes, I am blind
no, I can't see
the good things
just the bad things
yes, I am blind
no, I can't see
there must be something
horribly wrong with me?
love's young dream
i'm the one who shopped you
i'm the one who stopped you
'cause in my sorry way I love you
love's young dream
aren't you sorry
for what you've done?
well, you're not the only one
and in my sorry way I love you
yes, I am blind
but I do see
evil people prosper
over the likes of you and me
*always*
god come down if you're really there
well you're the one who claims to care
little lamb
on a hill
run fast if you can
good Christians
want to kill you
and your live has not even begun!
You're just like me
you're just like me
and your life has not even begun
you're just like me
you're just like me
and your life has not even begun
you're just like me
just like
just like me
and your life
has not even
begun.
