Bright Eyes - A Poetic Retelling Of An Unfortunate Seduction
The language in the dimmer rooms
Seems to represent the light source well
How soft they speak and seem to be at peace
With the movement of the music and the madness
That is pulling me into this
And the shades of the lamps are woven red
The light, it stains and consecrates
Anointing all forgotten forms
Ahat swirl and smoke and haunt this place
The girls in gowns all nurse the dark
Pulling it near to their swelling breasts
And watch as it seeps to their hearts
And beats within their virgin chests
And here I know seduction breeds
From wanton hearts that would seduce
And grows and spreads its vine and leaves
Embracing those who might have moved
But now remain to drink the night
From vials black and thick with steam
Such intoxicating delights
That leave you drunk inside this dream
And you watch them take the light from you
And you find yourself
On a velvet couch
Tasting the skin of a foreign girl
Her eyes are black
And wet like oil
And she ties your hands with a string of pearls
And you tremble like a frightened bird
As she closes in and captures you
To place you in the silver cage
Deep within her poisoned womb
And once you're safe inside
She might let you out to fly
In the circles around the room
But it's always night
And there is no moon
And you wonder if you are alive
And you’re not sure if you want to be
But you drank her sweat like it was wine
And you lay with her on a bed of blue
And it's awful sweet
Like the fruit she cuts and feeds to you
 
^
dude, Bright eyes...so good, but so heartbreaking...I can't handle listening to them for too long. I get all "running for the razors" and whatnot.
Have you heard "It's Cool, We Can Still Be Friends"? It gives me shivers.
Matthew Good - Weapon
Here by my side, an angel
Here by my side, the devil
Never turn your back on me
Never turn your back on me, again
Here by my side, it's heaven
Here by my side, you are destruction
Here by my side, a new colour to paint the world
Never turn your back on it
Never turn your back on it again,
Here by my side, it's heaven
Careful, be careful
Careful, be careful
This is where the world drops off
Where the world drops off
Careful, be careful
You breathe in and you breathe out
For it ain't so weird,
How it makes you a weapon
And you give in
and you give out
For it ain't so weird
How it makes you a weapon
Never turn your back on it
Never turn your back on it again
Careful, be careful
Here by my side, it's heaven
Here by my side, it's heaven
Here by my side, it's heaven

Furnace,
I can't post all the lyrics to that song. It breaks my heart too much.
Every line makes a crack in my heart.
how can one line sum up all the hurt?
And we still rent movies, but we don't share the couch
/i will cry myself to sleep tonight.
i miss her.
 
I feel your pain, Wil.
The first time I heard that song...
I ended up crying too.
Seriously.
;)
This is for strange, alert, kaz and all those others who have lost their faith in humanity.
For those who have been shaken to their core. Secrets shatter lives.
Hearts get broken all over again.
Stay strong, y'all.
U2 - Running to Stand Still
And so she woke up
Woke up from where she was
Lying still
Said I gotta do something
About where we're going
Step on a steam train
Step out of the driving rain, maybe
Run from the darkness in the night
Singing ha, ah la la la de day
Ah da da da de day
Ah la la de day
Sweet the sin
Bitter taste in my mouth
I see seven towers
But I only see one way out
You got to cry without weeping
Talk without speaking
Scream without raising your voice

You know I took the poison
From the poison stream
Then I floated out of here
Singing...ha la la la de day
Ha la la la de day
Ha la la de day
She runs through the streets
With her eyes painted red
Under black belly of cloud in the rain
In through a doorway she brings me
White gold and pearls stolen from the sea
She is raging
She is raging
And the storm blows up in her eyes
She will...
Suffer the needle chill
She's running to stand...
Still.

Brother Pele's in the back
Sweet Seena's in the front
Cruising down the freeway
In the hot, hot sun
Suddenly red blue lights
Flash us from behind
Loud voice
"all will please step out onto the line"
Pele breathes words of comfort
Seena just hides her eyes
Policeman taps his shades
Is that a Chevy 69?
How bizarre
How bizarre
How bizarre
Destination unknown
As we pull in for some gas
A freshly pasted poster
Reveals a smile from the pack
Elephants and acrobats,
Lions next monkey
Pele speaks righteous
Sister Seena says funky
How bizarre
How bizarre
How bizarre
Ooh baby, (ooh baby)
It's making me crazy, (it's making me crazy)
Everytime I look around
Look around
Everytime I look around
Everytime I look around
Everytime I look around
It's in my face
Ringmaster steps up
Says the elephants left town
People jump and jive
And the clowns inch back around
T.V. news and cameras
There's choppers in the sky
Marines, police, reporters
Ask the where, for and why
Pele yells "we're outta here"
Seena says "right on"
Make your moves and starting grooves
Before they knew we're gone
Jump into the Chevy
Headed for big lights,
Want to know the rest
Hey, buy the rights,
How bizarre
How bizarre
How bizarre
Ooh baby, (ooh baby)
It's making me crazy, (it's making me crazy)
Everytime I look around
Look around
Everytime I look around
Everytime I look around
Everytime I look around
It's in my face
It's in my face
Ooh baby, (ooh baby)
It's making me crazy, (it's making me crazy)
Everytime I look around
Look around
Everytime I look around
Everytime I look around
Everytime I look around
It's in my face
Ooh baby, (ooh baby)
It's making me crazy, (it's making me crazy)
Everytime I look around
Look around
Everytime I look around
Look around
Everytime I look around
It's in my face
How Bizarre/OMC :)

Hanging By A Moment
Desperate for changing
Starving for truth
Closer to where I started
chasing after you
I'm falling even more in love with you
letting go of all I've held onto
I'm standing here until you make me move
I'm hanging by a moment here with you
Forgetting all I'm lacking
Completely Incomplete
I'll take your invitation
you take all of me
now i'm falling even more in love with you
letting go of all i've held on to
I'm standing here until you make me move
I'm hanging by a moment here with you
I'm living for the only thing I know
I'm running and I'm not quite sure where to go
and I don't know what I'm diving into
just hanging by a moment here with you
There is nothing else to lose
There is nothing else to find
There is nothing in the world
that could change my mind
There is nothing else...
desperate for changing
starving for truth
I'm closer to where I started
I'm chasing after you
I'm falling even more in love with you
letting go of all I've held onto
I'm standing here until you make me move
I'm hanging by a moment here with you
I'm living for the only thing I know
I'm running and not quite sure where to go
and I don't know what I'm diving into
just hanging by a moment here with you...

Modest Mouse - Karma 'Spayment
uh-oh down low
I am not who I want to be
I probably will not ever be
I drove my car June 14th
I drove it right down the street
I had not had any sleep
so I ate Minithins to stay awake
you crashed your car right into me
there was two days I didn't sleep
uh-oh downlow
I am not who I want to be
I probably will not ever be
I took a trip down to California
karma payment plan
my car broke down out in the street
the radiator sprung a leak
I met this guy he said he could help me
I'm on the karma payment plan
we went to his house and did some speed
he said karma would pay for this deed
he got it fixed and he started to scare me
I ditched him eventually
and came back for the car
the next morning
I'm on the karma payment plan
I went to LA the next day I got
jacked in a real bad way
I cant tell you
its a long story
 
When Ethan Hawke sings this in Reality Bites...vindication.
Violent Femmes - Add it up
Day after day
I will walk and I will play
but the day after today
I will stop
and I will start my way
why can't I get just one kiss
why can't I get just one kiss
believe me
there'd be somethings that I wouldn't miss
but I look at your pants and I need I need a kiss
why can't I get just one screw
why can't I get just one screw
believe me I know what to do
but something won't let me make love to you
why can't I get just one fuck
why can't I get just one fuck
I guess it's something to do with luck
but I waited my whole life for just one
day afterday
I get angry
and I will say
that the day
is in my sight
when i'll take a bow
and say goodnight
Mo my momma momma mo my mum
Have you kept your eye your eye on your son?
I know you've had problems you're not the only one
But when your sugar left he left you on the run
Mo my momma momma mo my mum
Take a look now at what your boy has done
He's walking around like he's number one
He went downtown and got him a gun
So don't shoot shoot shoot that thing at me
You know you got my sympathy
But don't shoot shoot shoot that thing at me
In your broken down kitchen at the top of the stairs
Can I mix in with your affairs
Share a smoke make a joke
Grasp and reach for a leg of hope
Words to memorize words hypnotize
Words make my mouth exercise
Words all fail the magic prize
Nothing I can say when I'm in your thighs
Mo my momma momma mo my mother
I would love to love you lover
The city's restless it's ready to pounce
It go here in your bedroom ounce for ounce
Said I'm giving you a decision to make
Things to lose things to take
Just as she was about ready to cut it up
She said wait a minute honey I'm gonna add it up
I'm gonna add it up
add it up
and see what you got
You gotta add it up
Day after day
I get angry and I will say
That the day is in my sight
When I take a bow and say goodnight
Goodnight

You give and give, and at a point where you can easily take back, you don't.
You let the universe deal with it, right? Yeah...right.
Modest Mouse - Dark Center of the Universe
Well I might
disintegrate into the thin air if you like
And I'm not
the dark center of the universe like you thought
Well it took a lot of work to be the ass that I am
And I'm pretty damn sure that anyone can
Easily, equally fuck ya over

Well God said something but he didn't mean it
Everyone's life ends but no one ever completes it
Dry and wet ice, they both melt
and you're equally cheated
Well it took a lot of work...
Well an endless ocean landing on an endless desert
Well it's funny as hell, but no one laughs when they get there
If you can't see the thin air
Why the hell should you care?
Well it took a lot of work...
Well sure you'll tell me you've got nothing to say
And I went and shook hands the other day
If you can't see the thin air then
What the hell is in your way?
 
for reasons that are obvious.
Eric Clapton - Tears in Heaven
Would you know my name?
if I saw you in Heaven
Would it be the same
if I saw you in Heaven
I must be strong and carry on
Cause I know I don't belong here in heaven
Would you hold my hand,if I saw you in heaven
\Would you help me stand,
if I saw you in heaven
I'll find my way through night and day
Cause I know I just can't stay here in heaven.
Time can bring you down
Time can bend your knees
Time can break your heart
Have you beggin
please beggin please
Beyond the door, there's peace for sure
and I know there'll be no more tears in heaven.
Cause I know I don't belong here in heaven

you're at peace now.
 
Yah, this song played when I was talking to you...imagine what I'm feeling...
A perfect circle - Magdalena
Overcome by your
Moving temple
Overcome by this
Holiest of altars
So pure
So rare
To witness such an earthly goddess
That I've lost my self control
Beyond compelled to throw this dollar down before your
Holiest of altars
I'd sell
My soul
My self-esteem a dollar at a time
One chance
One kiss
One taste of you my magdalena
I bear witness
To this place, this prayer, so long forgotten
So pure
So rare
To witness such an earthly goddess
That I'd sell
My soul
My self-esteem a dollar at a time
For one chance
One kiss
One taste of you my black madonna
I'd sell
My soul
My self-esteem a dollar at a time
One taste
One taste
One taste of you my Magdalena.
 
I, honestly, have no fucking clue anymore.
Get me one for my birthday.
Third Eye Blind :: Losing A Whole Year
Losing a whole year
I remember you and me used to spend the whole damned day in bed
Losing a whole year
Lying in your room we'd lay like dogs
The phone would ring like a joke that's left unsaid
Rich daddy left you with a parachute
Your voice sounds like money and your face is cute
But your daddy left you with no love
You touch everything with a velvet glove and
Now you want to try a life of sin
You want to be down with the down and in
Always copping my truths
I kind of get the feeling like I'm being used
And now I realize you never heard
One goddamned thing I ever said
Losing a whole year
Took your stuff and put it in the basement
When I found out what the smile on your face meant
I've seen you pop that check
Craning your neck at my car wreck
It always seems the juice used to flow
In the car, in the kitchen you were good to go
Now we're stuck with the tube
A sink full of dishes and some aqualube
I remember you and me used to spend the whole damned day in bed
Losing a whole year
And if it's not the defense then you're on the attack
When you start talking I hear the Prozac
Convinced you've found your place
With the pierced queer teens in Cyberspace
When you were yourself it tasted sweet
But it sours into a routine deceit
Well this drama is a bore
And I don't want to play no more
I remember you and me used to spend the whole damned day in bed
Losing a whole year
 
At This Point In My Life
-Tracy Chapman

At this point in my life
I've done so many things wrong
I don't know if I can do right
If you put your trust in me
I hope I won't let you down
If you give me a chance I'll try
You see it's been a hard road
the road I'm travelling on
And if I take your hand
I might lead you down the path to ruin
I've had a hard life
I'm just saying it so you'll understand
that right now right now
I'm doing the best I can at this point in my life
At hs point in my life
although I've mostly walked in the shadows
I'm still searching for the light
Won't you put your faith in me?
We both know that's what matters
If you give me a chance I'll try
You see I've been climbing stairs
but mostly stumbling down
I've been reaching high
but always losing ground
You see I've conquered hills
but I still have mountains to climb
And right now right now
I'm doing the best I can at this point in my life
Before we take a step
Before we walk down that path
Before I make any promises
Before you have regrets
Before we talk commitment
Let me tell you of my past
All I've seen and all I've done
The things I'd like to forget
At this point in my life
At this point in my life I'd like to live
as if only love mattered
as if redemption was in sight
as if the search to live honestly
Is all that anyone needs
No matter if you find it
You see when I've touched the sky
the earth's gravity has pulled me down
But now I've reconciled that in this world
birds and angels get the wings to fly
If you can believe in this heart of mine
If you can give it a try
Then I'll reach inside and find and give you
All the sweetness that I have
at this point in my life
 
Saul Williams - Fearless
I don't know whether to laugh or cry
and I don't know whether to live or die
I kept my love for her locked deep inside
it cuts like a knife
she's out of my life
out of my life, out of my hair
out of my mind, there's no love in there
I move on, move on
dear God, I wasn't breast fed
and most of my conversations with men seem to revolve around music
I'm no musician but the pain has been instrumental
my sense finally tune the instruments of - of - of
of being lonely, of being lost, of being loved, of being human
man I could use a metaphor but I can't get beyond this shit
I could use someone to talk to
but most of my conversations with men seem to revolve around music

I am a poet who composes what the world proses
and proses what the world composes
I am a poet who composes what the world proses
and proses what the world composes
damned indescion and cursed pride
I kept my love for her locked deep inside
and I don't know what to do
to get it through to you
get out of my life tonight
get out of my life
out of my life, out of my hair
out of my mind, 'cause no lovin' fair
I move on, move on
she had nothing but time on her hands
silver rings, turquoise stones and purple nails
I rub my thumb across her palm
a featherbed where slept a psalm
yay though I walked, I used to fly, and now we dance
I watch my toenails blacken and walk a deadened trance
'til she woke me with the knife edge of her glance
I have the scars to prove the clock strikes with her hands
and I don't know what to do
to get it through to you
and I don't know what to do
to get it through
out of my life, out of my hair
out of my mind, 'cause no lovin' fair
I move on, move on, I move on
 
Wilco... Jesus, Etc.
Jesus, don't cry
You can rely on me, honey
You can combine anything you want
I'll be around
You were right about the stars
Each one is a setting sun
Tall buildings shake
Voices escape singing sad sad songs
tuned to chords
Strung down your cheeks
Bitter melodies turning your orbit around
Don't cry
You can rely on me honey
You can come by any time you want
I'll be around
You were right about the stars
Each one is a setting sun
Tall buildings shake
Voices escape singing sad sad songs
tuned to chords
Strung down your cheeks
Bitter melodies turning your orbit around
Voices whine
Skyscrapers are scraping together
Your voice is smoking
Last cigarettes are all you can get
Turning your orbit around
Our love...
Out of...
Our love is all we have,
Our love...
Our love is all of God's money
Every one is a burning sun
Tall buildings shake
Voices escape singing sad sad songs
tuned to chords
Strung down your cheeks
Bitter melodies turning your orbit around
Voices whine
Skyscrapers are scraping together
Your voice is smoking
Last cigarettes are all you can get
Turning your orbit around
Last cigarettes are all you can get
Turning your orbit around
Last cigarettes are all you can get
Turning your orbit around

 Portishead - Numb
Unable so lost,
I can't find my way,
Been searching, but I have never seen,
A turning, a turning from deceit.
 ‘Cause the child roses like,
Try to reveal what I could feel,
 I can't understand myself anymore,
‘Cause I'm still feeling lonely,
Feeling so unholy.
 ‘Cause the child roses like,
Try to reveal what I could feel,
And this loneliness,
It just won't leave me alone, oh no.
 I'm fooling somebody,
A faithless path to roam,
Deceiving to breath this secretly,
A silence, this silence I can't bear.
 ‘Cause a child roses light,
Try to reveal what I could feel,
And this loneliness,
It just won't leave me alone, oh no,
And this loneliness,
It just won't leave me alone.
A lady of war,
A lady of war.
 
Yah, I know it's by outkast, but this version is badass...
The Vines - Mrs. Jackson
I'm sorry Ms. Jackson
I am for real
Never meant to make your daughter cry
I apologize a trillion times
I'm sorry Ms. Jackson
I am for real
Never meant to make your daughter cry
I apologize a trillion times
I'm sorry Ms. Jackson
I am for real
Never meant to make your daughter cry
I apologize a trillion times
I'm sorry Ms. Jackson
I am for real
Never meant to make your daughter cry
I apologize a trillion times
Me and your daughter
Got a special thang goin on
You say it's puppy love
We say it's full grown
Hope that we feel this
Feel this way forever
You could plan a pretty picnic
But you can't predict the weather, Ms. Jackson
I'm sorry Ms. Jackson
I am for real
Never meant to make your daughter cry
I apologize a trillion times
I'm sorry Ms. Jackson
I am for real
Never meant to make your daughter cry
I apologize a trillion times
Me and your daughter
Got a special thang goin on
You say it's puppy love
We say it's full grown
Hope that we feel this
Feel this way forever
You could plan a pretty picnic
But you can't predict the weather, Ms. Jackson
 
am I a whore?
For lyrics, yes.
Foo Fighters - Ever....HA! Alone + Easy Target
they knew all along
they're not dumb, they were so wrong
she's not always fun
hate it now, call when I'm done
pieces fell in place
puzzles suck, laughing in my face
turn and swing the pace
I'll give this, keep the good waist
head is on
I want out
I'm alone and I'm an easy target
metronome
I want out
I'm alone and I'm an easy target
crazy t.v. dreams might be true
not what it seems
food and cavitys, chewing words
tear at the seams
he don't feel so good, don't feel bad
not that I should
did you ever listen? get out
 
Moist :: Leave It Alone
i'd walk the water to get back to you
and where i was complete
we found you scattered by the highway side too
soon to be released
gathered the pieces up and clean the places
where you were undone
and washed the wreckage out unfinished all the
thoughts that we'd begun
i came to burn the sky and tear away
the beauty that it sows
if i could rape the day and find the things i thought
i'd always known
leave it alone again tonight
i laid your arms out long untwisted there
and shaped what i could find
unmade the most of it and then left the rest
the parts unrecognized
my reconstruction was the only way
for one last look at you
i lost the sense of absolution
that we never knew
leave it alone again tonight
leave it alone again tonight
and it takes me back from this place here
it takes me back from this place here
i came to burn the sky and tear away
the beauty that it sows
i came to rape the day and find the things
i thought i'd always known
leave it alone again tonight
and it takes me back from this place here
from this place here it takes me over
and it might be lost in this place here
from this place here it takes me on
tonight leave it alone
 
atmosphere-a tall seven and seven
yo homie
had i known
that you woulda grown
into a full blown example
of how to act like an asshole
i never woulda introduced you to booze
and skipping school
coz right now i feel responsible
for finding the antidote
back in junior high
when you and i started getting high
life was just a joke
we was too young to know the punchline
and you would sooner die
than realize that you were running out of time
who's to decide there's no more recess after lunchtime
bam here you am,
intoxicated again
bam here you am,
intoxicated again
you used to be my man
i belive you slighly exceeded
how many of them drinks
that you think you need
when you tryin to boost the bonus points
and reinforce your voice
but im not tryin to walk within your conciousness
we used to be friends back in the day when you had direction
but that was before your brain felt that infection
and i ain't claimin innocence i was right there with you then
im just sayin, while we was waitin to move up
some of us grew up
we all knew what the difference
between wrong and right was
but sometime the line blurred
when we was influenced by a light buzz

but from what i see
you've established a persona
basis built a foundation
for emulating a genere
without taking a moment to ponder
the trail of karma
that sweeps through the fields that you've squandered
no longer am i shocked by the things you do
im just confused as to why its gotta be me to confront you

i guess nobody else gives a damn
so i gotta go for myself
coz im a man...understand?
and you can take it as concern
or you can see it as your ego gettin burned
either way tonite,
one of us is gonna learn
and i guess nobody else gives a damn
but see i do because you used to be my man
understand
and even if it means you beat me down to the cement
its all love
i need to see you stick around until the end
bam here you am,
intoxicated again
(if these are off a little, its coz i had to listen/type them out coz the are apparently NOWHERE on the internet. :) thank you. drive thru.)
