Lyrics that appeal to you today v.15

Into the distance, a ribbon of black
Stretched to the point of no turning back
A flight of fancy on a windswept field
Standing alone my senses reeled
A fatal attraction holding me fast, how
Can I escape this irresistible grasp?
Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies
Tongue-tied and twisted Just an earth-bound misfit, I
Ice is forming on the tips of my wings
Unheeded warnings, I thought I thought of everything
No navigator to guide my way home
Unladened, empty and turned to stone
A soul in tension that's learning to fly
Condition grounded but determined to try
Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies
Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I
Friction lock - set.
Mixture - rich
Propellers - fully forward
Flaps - set - 10 degrees
Engine gauges and suction - check
Mixture set to maximum percent - recheck
Flight instruments...
Altimeters - check both
(garbled word) - on
Navigation lights - on
Strobes - on
- Confirm 3-8-Echo ready for departure
- Hello again, this is now 129.4
- 129.4. It's to go.
- You may commence your takeoff, winds over 10 knots.
- 3-8-Echo
Easy on the brakes. Take it easy. Its gonna roll this time.
Just hand the power gradually, and it...
Above the planet on a wing and a prayer,
My grubby halo, a vapour trail in the empty air,
Across the clouds I see my shadow fly
Out of the corner of my watering eye
A dream unthreatened by the morning light
Could blow this soul right through the roof of the night
There's no sensation to compare with this
Suspended animation, A state of bliss
Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies
Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I

:: Dido ~ Hunter ::
With one light on in one room
I know you're up when I get home
With one small step upon the stair
I know your look when I get there
If you were a king up there on your throne
would you be wise enough to let me go
for this queen you think you own
Wants to be a hunter again
wants to see the world alone again
to take a chance on life again
so let me go
The unread book and painful look
the tv's on, the sound is down
One long pause
then you begin
oh look what the cat's brought in
If you were a king up there on your throne
would you be wise enough to let me go
for this queen you think you own
Wants to be a hunter again
wants to see the world alone again
to take a chance on life again
so let me go
let me leave
For the crown you've placed upon my head feels too heavy now
and I don't know what to say to you but I'll smile anyhow
and all the time I'm thinking, thinking
I want to be a hunter again
want to see the world alone again
to take a chance on life again
so let me go.
 
Cake
Never There
I need your arms around me,
I need to feel your touch,
I need your understanding, I need your love,
So much,
You tell me that you love me so,
You tell me that you care,
But when I need you, (BABY)
Baby, (You're never there),
On the phone,
Long long distance,
Always through such,
Strong resistance,
When first you say,
You're too busy,
I wonder if you,
Even miss me,
Never there,
You're never there,
You're never, ever,
Ever ever there,
A golden bird that flies away,
A candle's fickle flame,
To think I held you yesterday,
Your love was just a game,
A golden bird that flies away,
A candle's fickle flame,
To think I held you yesterday,
Your love was just a game,
You tell me that you love me so,
You tell me that you care,
But when I need you, (BABY)
Baby,
Take the time,
To get to know me,
If you want me,
Why can't you just show me,
We're always on,
This roller coaster,
If you want me,
Why can't you get closer,
Never there,
You're never there,
You're never, ever,
Ever ever there,
Never there,
You're never there,
You're never, ever,
Ever ever there
 
american football-never meant
let's just forget everything said and everything we did.
"best friends", "better-half's", "goodbyes"...
and the autumn night when we realized we were falling out of love.
there were some things that were said that weren't meant,
like we "never did."
not to be overly dramatic, i just think it's best.
cause you can't miss what you forget.
so let's just pretend everything and anything between you and me was never
meant.
 
I can't remember if I've posted this before but this is the song that I feel defines exactly who I am:
Marilyn Manson
"Dope Hat"
i peek into the hole, i struggle for control
the children love the show, but they fail to see the anguish in my eyes
fail to see the anguish in my eyes
i scratch around the brim, i let my mind give in
the crowd begins to grin, but they seem to screem when darkness fills my eyes
seem to screem when darkness fills my eyes, it's no surprise
fail to see the tragic, turn it into magic
my big top tricks will always make you happy, but we all know the hat is wearing me
my bag is in the hat, it's filled with this and that
my vision's getting fat, the rabbit's just a monkey in disguise
stars and pills and needles dance before our eyes
they will bite the hand if ti is slower than the quickness of thier scrutinizing eyes
fail to see the tragic, turn it into magic
my big top tricks will always make you happy, but we all know the hat is wearing me
chicanery will always make you happy, but we all know the hat is wearing me
 
sitting here eating peaches from a can...
Peaches - Presidents of the USA
Movin' to the country, gonna eat a lot of peaches
I'm movin' to the country, I'm gonna eat me a lot of peaches
I'm movin' to the country, I'm gonna eat a lot of peaches
Movin' to the country, I'm gonna eat a lot of peaches
Peaches come from a can, they were put there by a man In a factory downtown
And if I had my little way, I'd eat peaches everyday
Sun soakin' bulges in the shade
Movin' to the country, I'm gonna eat a lot of peaches
Movin' to the country, I'm gonna eat a lot of peaches
I'm movin' to the country, gonna eat a lot of peaches
Movin' to the country, gonna eat a lot of peaches
I took a little nap where the roots all twist
Squished a rotten peach in my fist
And dreamed about you woman
I poked my finger down inside, made a little room for an ant to hide
Nature's candy in my hand or a can or pie
Yeah, yeah...
Millions of peaches, peaches for me
Millions of peaches, peaches for free
Millions of peaches, peaches for me
Millions of peaches, peaches for free...Look out!
 
air - the vagabond
(featuring monsieur beck hansen )
golden waves
in all directions
i could lose my soul right here
colour lights
on the runway
makes a stranger feel unchained
i'm running after time and i miss the sunshine
summer days will come happiness will be mine
i'm lost in my words i don't know where i'm going
i do the best i can not to worry about things
i feel loose
i feel haggard
don't know what i'm looking for
something true
something lovely
that will make me feel alive
i'm running after time and i miss the sunshine
Summer days will come happiness will be mine
i'm lost in my words i don't know where i'm going
i do the best i can not to worry about things
like a vagabond through the distance
looking for a song to sing
a song that lasts all night
and for the rest of our lives
i'm lost in my words i don't know where i'm going
i do my best i can not to worry about things
i'm running after time and i miss the sunshine
(i'm running after time and i miss the sunshine)
summer days will come happiness will be mine
(summer days will come happiness will be mine)
(etc.)
oh, shit!
 
ya, well it's in the song......
The Verve - The Drugs Don't work
All this talk of getting old, It's getting me down my love
Like a cat in a bag, waiting to drown. This time I'm comin' down
And I hope you're thinking of me. As you lay down on your side
Now the drugs don't work. They just make you worse
But I know I'll see your face again
Now the drugs don't work. they just make you worse
But I know I'll see your face again
But I know I'm on a losing streak, 'Cause I passed down my old street
And if you wanna show, then just let me know, And I'll sing in your ear again
Now the drugs don't work. they just make you worse
But I know I'll see your face again
'Cause baby, ooh, if heaven calls, I'm coming, too
Just like you said, you leave my life, I'm better off dead
All this talk of getting old, It's getting me down my love
Like a cat in a bag, waiting to drown, This time I'm comin' down
Now the drugs don't work. they just make you worse
But I know I'll see your face again
'Cause baby, ooh, if heaven calls, I'm coming, too
Just like you said, you leave my life, I'm better off dead
But if you wanna show, just let me know
And I'll sing in your ear again
Now the drugs don't work. they just make you worse
But I know I'll see your face again
Yeah, I know I'll see your face again
Yeah, I know I'll see your face again
Yeah, I know I'll see your face again
Yeah, I know I'll see your face again
I'm never going down, I'm never coming down
No more, no more, no more, no more, no more
I'm never coming down, I'm never going down
No more, no more, no more, no more, no more

Tom Waits
Blue Valentines
She sends me blue valentines
All the way from Philadelphia
To mark the anniversary
Of someone that I used to be
And it feels just like theres
A warrant out for my arrest
Got me checkin in my rearview mirror
And I'm always on the run
Thats why I changed my name
And I didn't think you'd ever find me here
To send me blue valentines
Like half forgotten dreams
Like a pebble in my shoe
As I walk these streets
And the ghost of your memory
Is the thistle in the kiss
And the burgler that can break a roses neck
It's the tatooed broken promise
That I hide beneath my sleeve
And I see you every time I turn my back
She sends me blue valentines
Though I try to remain at large
They're insisting that our love
Must have a eulogy
Why do I save all of this madness
In the nightstand drawer
There to haunt upon my shoulders
Baby I know
I'd be luckier to walk around everywhere I go
With a blind and broken heart
That sleeps beneath my lapel
She sends me my blue valentines
To remind me of my cardinal sin
I can never wash the guilt
Or get these bloodstains off my hands
And it takes a lot of whiskey
To make these nightmares go away
And I cut my bleedin heart out every nite
And I die a little more on each St. Valentines day
Remember that I promised I would
Write you...
These blue valentines
blue valentines
blue valentines
 
Bush - Alien
Well the satellite comes and goes
We give each other all we know
In silence we still talk
By the light of the stereo waltz
And will you rain down
In your cinematic love truck
I want to hold you like nothing's going stop us
She comes to take me away
Its all that I needed
I don't breathe another lover
Flicker on a TV screen
Ecerything's more than it seems
The mighty backward fall
Stare at the lights on the wall
I swear to this
She felt like velvet
Second blond child
like velvet, velvet
She comes to take me away
Its all that I needed
I don't breathe another lover
I'm an alien
You're an alien
It's a beautiful rain
Beautiful rain
Beautiful rain

This song makes me weep. If you appriciate skilled MC's, and the beauty of words woven into sick beats and have never heard this track, find it and listen. It will leave you slack jawed and teary eyed. Brilliant.
Artist: Cee-Lo
Album: Cee-Lo Green and His Perfect Imperfections
Song: Big Ole Words (Damn)

Mm hmm
Ok, Ok
Yeah
Y'all thought I lost it
[Verse One: Cee-Lo]
In no fashion have I lost my passion for the pen
It's just that lately life has been a lost less inspirin
To tell you the truth trials and tribulations is very tirin
I gotta play a little game of gimmick and gunfirin
I'm not aspirin to be any lower or higher than,
I get equal as in eye to eye again
I'm the truth, I'm complicated I'm all ready but try again
I've got to die once to never ever die again
And what I believe within I engrave within my skin
And one thang that I ain't is a saint without a sin
How could there be a now if there never was a then?
That is unbalanced just like the yang without the yen
I am distinguishably deeper as opposed to the paper-thin
And I breathe oxygen, and you rhymin bout rocks again
You stagnant, standing still enough to feel the world spin
I'm beginning to smell the end in the path of the blowing wind
Hopefully I'm fortunate enough to spend forever with a friend
I'm slow dancing with destiny every day until then
When I first got my big break I said that I would never bend
And discredit my character to keep up or contend
And my belief beat baseline secrete such a special blend
I am not like them at all and I cannot pretend
I am not like you at all and I cannot pretend.
[Hook]
DAMN
That shit was funky
You heard that nigga?
DAMN
Shawty Lo
(yup, c'mon)
[Verse Two: Cee-Lo]
I can offer an extension or compare comprehension
I'm in a classroom of my own, I'm too far gone for competition
Yet I'm never obnoxious with my obvious ambition
Perfectly imperfect is my dimension's definition
I engage my pen pierces the page so that it bleeds my intention
With honorable mention of God's divine intervention
I'm incredible I'm inevitable and there's no possible prevention
I'll hardly (have to) scream my dream and I'll have your undivided attention
The powers that be will be beaten into submission
And you will be able to see my revolution on television
You'll get an aneurysm fuckin around with my head on collision
With the power to get you dead and half the dead risen
I remember when my development was arrested
I was doin time on my mind misguided and misdirected
I was sick, so sick if I spoke to you you'd be infected
Then my conscience was cleared of all charges and I came out corrected
Reinvented, refined, replenished and well rested
On a mission for a medium to manifest the thoughts I collected
After that everything I breathed upon, I blessed it
I committed crimes of passion and my soul was suspected
But it was thrown out of court because of course the Creator and I connected
He told me, "fear not for thou art protected. Your life is being requested
And you are being tested, so make every attempt you can to expect the unexpected."
[Hook]
Mm mm mm
Boy that Lo boy
DAMN
Oh Lawd
Cee-Lo why you do it like that?
You aint have to bustin all like that, man
Makin these lil rappers feel like they can't rap
DAMN
I got some more, I got some more if you want some.
[Verse Three: Cee-Lo]
I am internally evolving entirely
Extensive eclectic expression eloquently
Instantly innovative, Courageously creative
I'm driven, this God given gift it comes naturally to the native
Not a need for the dramatics or the systematic
Simplicities, strictly science and mathematics
The mastermind of the mighty mystical and magical moves
And metaphors manifests masterpieces
Thoroughly fury through the inner mind's eye establishes this syn-thesis
Of these innermost, insightful, intriguing interpretations of extreme intelligence
My commonsense is no co-incidence
Caution: competitors approach carefully
I'm able to see
Rare ranges of distance, I expect respect
There's no tolerance for negligence, never
You'll forever
Feel the wrath of the pure and powerful poetry, permanently
Pre-meditative, political, critical, compellin, story-tellin
Defining desire, faith fuelin the fire
Brilliance, pro-blackness, philosophical, psychological willingly waging warfare,
Withstandin, commandin, demandin the listening ears to hear what God's forcin
Instead endorsin education. Equality, not hate
Just revolution of the mind state
Note mere words but emotions
Which is essential, influential provin my people's potential
Militancy, innocence, insight, listen to God then write
Since my birth date I been tight!
Shit
[Hook]
Now I don't want never hear nobody else say
goddamn a nigga from the South can't rhyme
NEVER!
DAMN
Hehehe...Now can I do my shit??
 
It ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe
It don't matter, anyhow
An' it ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe
If you don't know by now
When your rooster crows at the break of dawn
Look out your window and I'll be gone
You're the reason I'm trav'lin' on
Don't think twice, it's all right
It ain't no use in turnin' on your light, babe
That light I never knowed
An' it ain't no use in turnin' on your light, babe
I'm on the dark side of the road
Still I wish there was somethin' you would do or say
To try and make me change my mind and stay
We never did too much talkin' anyway
So don't think twice, it's all right
It ain't no use in callin' out my name, gal
Like you never did before
It ain't no use in callin' out my name, gal
I can't hear you any more
I'm a-thinkin' and a-wond'rin' all the way down the road
I once loved a woman, a child I'm told
I give her my heart but she wanted my soul
But don't think twice, it's all right
I'm walkin' down that long, lonesome road, babe
Where I'm bound, I can't tell
But goodbye's too good a word, gal
So I'll just say fare thee well
I ain't sayin' you treated me unkind
You could have done better but I don't mind
You just kinda wasted my precious time
But don't think twice, it's all right
-Bobby D
 
Very cute song. Download! :)
Before you-Chantal Kreviazuk
"Baby, before you
Well, I was bad news
In lettin' me love you
I think I can get through
Oh, baby before you
Well, I was so scared
I was a train wreck waitin' to happen
On the way to nowhere
And now I think it's kinda funny that you say you love me
You tell me that I'm crazy then you smile
And now I think I'll get through
The end of the world
And now I think I'll get through
Bein' a girl
Now I think I'll get through
Anything
And now I think I'll get through
Now honey around you
I'm feelin' so good
Cause you picked me up out of the rough
And you polished me up and made me brand new
And baby before you,
There was just a black hole
Yeah I was beat down, blacked out
My darling you couldn't even know
But ever since I met you on a cloudy Monday
I can't believe how much I love the rain
And now I think I'll get through
The end of the world
And now I think I'll get through
Life as a girl
Now I think I'll get through
Anything
Now I think I'll get through
Ever since I met you on a cloudy Monday
I can't believe how much I love the rain
Oh ... ho ...
Now I think I'll get through
Oh ....
Now I think I'll get through
Oh ... ho ...
And now I think I'll get through
And now I think I'll get through
Oh, and now I think I'll get through
Oh, and now I think I'll get through"
 
Pink Floyd- Wish You Were Here
So, so you think you can tell
Heaven from Hell, blue skies from pain.
Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?
And did they get you to trade your heroes for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
And did you exchange a walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage?
How I wish, how I wish you were here.
We're just two lost souls
swimming in a fish bowl, year after year,
Running over the same old ground.
What have you found?
The same old fears.
Wish you were here.
for someone special very far away ;)
 
I want to hold the hand inside you
I want to take a breath that's true
I look to you and I see nothing
I look to you to see the truth
You live your life
You go in shadows
You'll come apart and you'll go black
Some kind of night into your darkness
Colors your eyes with what's not there.
Fade into you
Strange you never knew
Fade into you
I think it's strange you never knew
A stranger's light comes on slowly
A stranger's heart without a home
You put your hands into your head
And then smiles cover your heart
Fade into you
Strange you never knew
Fade into you
I think it's strange you never knew
I think it's strange you never knew
Mazzy Star - Fade Into You

:: The Beatles ~ In My Life ::
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 have 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
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
In my life I love you more
 
dada-moon
The night before the moon died
you realized
the flowers that you picked
and kept locked away
Were never to be seen
by naked lovers' eyes
The night before the moon died
you realized
you had a chance to make it right
but you never did
Take your car right out of gear
send it over the sea
Touch your fingers to the water
Put your hands to your face
The night before the moon died
you realized
You had your chance
to make it right
You had your chance
to change your mind
You had your chance
to save your life
but you never did
 
I know from all the shit I write I must seem like a complete depressive...I am happy sometimes, honest :)
I guess I'm just fucked up more often...anyways, here's me for today:
NINE INCH NAILS: THE WRETCHED
just a reflection
just a glimpse
just a little reminder
of all the what abouts
and all the might have
could have beens
another day
some other way
but not another reason to continue
and now you're one of us
the wretched
the hopes and prays
the better days
the far aways
forget it
it didn't turn out the way you wanted it to
it didn't turn out the way you wanted it, did it?
it didn't turn out the way you wanted it to
it didn't turn out the way you wanted it, did it?
now you know
this is what it feels like
now you know
this is what it feels like
the clouds will part and the sky cracks open
and god himself will reach his fucking arm
through
just to push you down
just to hold you down
stuck in this hole with the shit and the piss
and it's hard to believe it could come down to this
back at the beginning
sinking
spinning
and in the end
we still pretend
the time we spend
not knowning when
you're finally free
and you could be (but it didn't turn out the way you wanted it to)
(it didn't turn out quite the way that you wanted it)
now you know
this is what it feels like
now you know
this is what it feels like
now you know
this is what it feels like
now you know
this is what it feels like (you can try to stop it but it keeps on coming)
(you can try to stop it but it)
 
Never really cared for Bush, but always loved that song
She comes to take me away. Its all that I needed
Cause last night I really wanted her to stay
Pink Floyd/Stay
Stay and help me to end the day.
And of you don't mind,
We'll break a bottle of wine.
Stick around and maybe we'll put one down,
Because I wanna find what lies behind those eyes.
Midnight blue burning gold.
A yellow moon is growing cold.
I rise, looking through my morning eyes,
Surprised to find you by my side.
Rack my brain to try to remember your name
To find the words to tell you good-bye.
Morning dues.
Newborn day.
Midnight blue turned to gray.
Midnight blue burning gold.
A yellow moon is growing cold.
