Lyrics that Appeal to you Today (v. 2)

KAZ - i was gonna post those lyrics yesterday :)
Boston - More than a Feeling
I looked out this morning and the sun was gone
Turned on some music to start my day
I lost myself in a familiar song
I closed my eyes and I slipped away
It's more than a feeling,
when I hear that old song they used to play (more than a feeling)
I begin dreaming (more than a feeling)
'till I see Marianne walk away
I see my Marianne walkin' away
So many people have come and gone
Their faces fade as the years go by
Yet I still recall as I wander on
as clear as the sun in the summer sky
It's more than a feeling,
when I hear that old song they used to play (more than a feeling)
I begin dreaming (more than a feeling)
'till I see Marianne walk away
I see my Marianne walkin' away
When I'm tired and thinking cold
I hide in my music, forget the day
and dream of a girl I used to know
I closed my eyes and she slipped away
She slipped awa y. She slipped away.
It's more than a feeling,
when I hear that old song they used to play (more than a feeling)
I begin dreaming (more than a feeling)
'till I see Marianne walk away
I see my Marianne walkin' away

call you up in the middle of the night
like a firefly without a light
you were there like a blowtorch burning
i was a key that could use a little turning
so tired that i couldn't even sleep
so many secrets i couldn't keep
promised myself i wouldn't weep
one more promise i couldn't keep
it seems no one can help me now
i'm in too deep
there's no way out
this time i have really lead myself astray
runaway train, never goin' back
wrong way on a one-way track
seems like i should be getting somewhere
somehow i'm neither here nor there
can you help me remember how to smile?
make it somehow all seem worthwhile
how on earth did i get so jaded?
life's mysteries seem so faded
i can go where noone else can go
i know what no one else knows
here i am just drownin' in the rain
with a ticket for a runaway train
and everything seems cut and dry
day and night
earth and sky
somehow i just don't believe it
runaway train, never goin' back
wrong way on a one-way track
seems like i should be getting somewhere
somehow i'm neither here nor there
bought a ticket for a runaway train
like a madman laughing at the rain
little out of touch, little insane
it's just easier than dealing with the pain
runaway train, never goin' back
wrong way on a one-way track
seems like i should be getting somewhere
somehow i'm neither here nor there
runaway train, never comin' back
runaway train, tearin' up the track
runaway train, burnin' in my veins
i run away but it always seems the same
*Soul Asylum/Runaway Train
 
Garbage-Special
I'm living without you
I know all about you
I have run you down into the ground
Spread disease about you over town
I used to adore you
I couldn't control you
There was nothing that I wouldn't do
To keep myself around and close to you
Do you have an opinion ?
A mind of your own?
I thought you were special
I thought you should know
But I've run out of patience
I couldn't care less
I...
I...
Do you have an opinion ?
A mind of your own ?
I thought you were special
I thought you should know
I used to amuse you
I knew that I'd lose you
Now you're here and begging for a chance
But there's no way in hell I'd take you back
Do you have an opinion?
A mind of your own?
I thought you were special
I thought you should know
But I've run out of patience
I've run out of comments
I'm tired of the violence
I couldn't care less
I'm looking for a new
You were the talk of the town
I thought you were special
 
I'm A Loner Dottie, A Rebel
-The Getup Kids
Come tomorrow I’ll be on my way back home.
In the morning call from a roadside telephone.
One night doesn’t mean the rest of my life.
If I go it’s not impossible
Possible is probably wrong.
So, let go
Because I’m afraid to try
Keep my hands by my side.
You won’t come back
I hope some day you’ll understand
I wanna try and make it right
Don’t know if I can.
Last night everything was right
The rain was gone.
One summer night’s the only time we’ve known.
So, shut your eyes
When you wake up I’ll be gone.
When you wake up I’ll be gone.
One night doesn’t mean the rest of my life.
If I go it’s not impossible
Possible is probably wrong.
So, let go
Because I’m afraid to try
 
These past few days were strange. They were good, but they had their moments of doubt.
here's a few.
System of a down - Atwa
Hey you, see me, pictures crazy
All the world I've seen before me passing by
I've got nothing, to gain, to lose
All the world I've seen before me passing by

I don't live, anymore
I don't feel

I saw U2 on the superbowl halftime special, and I almost broke down from the over-riding emotion I got from watching them play with all the names of those who died on 9/11.
U2 - Where the streets have no name
I want to run
I want to hide
I want to tear down the walls
That hold me inside
I want to reach out
And touch the flame
Where the streets have no name
I want to feel sunlight on my face
I see the dust cloud disappear
Without a trace
I want to take shelter from the poison rain
Where the streets have no name
Where the streets have no name
Where the streets have no name
We're still building
Then burning down love
Burning down love
And when I go there
I go there with you
It's all I can do
The city's aflood
And our love turns to rust
We're beaten and blown by the wind
Trampled in dust
I'll show you a place
High on a desert plain
Where the streets have no name
Where the streets have no name
Where the streets have no name
We're still building
Then burning down love
Burning down love
And when I go there
I go there with you
It's all I can do
Our love turns to rust
We're beaten and blown by the wind
Blown by the wind
Oh, and I see love
See our love turn to rust
We're beaten and blown by the wind
Blown by the wind
Oh, when I go there
I go there with you
It's all I can do.

One more, 'cause it's beautiful, and I've been trying to see the beauty of every situation.
Nick Drake - Fly
Please give me a second grace
Please give me a second face
I've fallen far down
The first time around
Now I just sit on the ground in your way
Now if it's time to recompense for what's done
Come, come sit down on the fence in the sun
And the clouds will roll by
And we'll never deny
It's really too hard for to fly.
Please tell me your second name
Please play me your second game
I've fallen so far
For the people you are
I just need your star for a day.
So come, come ride in my my street-car by the bay
For now I must know how fine you are in your way
And the sea sure as I
But she won't need to cry
For it's really too hard for her
to fly.

Sometimes the lyrics do not always apply to the person posting them directly.
The Watchmen
No Longer Mine
It's all out on the table beside the coffee stains
We both sit saying nothing, cause nothing can be the same
You say, why'd you bother coming
What did you hope to find
It was hard and it took time
To just put it all away deep inside
Made up my mind, you're no longer mine.
Oh I was so messed up back then
Oh where do I begin
Well I was wrong side all the time
You don't know what you can find
When you let those demons in
You've got to fill them up again
And it was hard and it took time
So just go on your way and I'll go mine
You're no longer mine.
 
Poe - Dolphin
There's a broken beam inside of the big big bridge
I guess that whole thing is caving in
Maybe it is time i learn how to swim
I'll be a dolphin
Sometimes i think i'm breaking down
And other times i think that i'm fine
But something got into my engine
It slowed me down
Now i gotta turn this whole thing around
I gotta be a dolphin
Sometimes i think you're crazy and sick
And other times i think you're so fine
But i know i'm in danger cause you feel like a stranger
And i know that something's going to give
When i dive into that ocean
God i hope i don't sink like a stone - no
I'm gonna move like a dolphin
Ther e maybe a lot i don't know about you
But i know if i don't swim
I'm already drowning
Cause a broken bridge
is a broken bridge
So i swim to you now
Here i come

Paul Simon-Kodachrome
When I think back
On all the crap I learned in high school
It's a wonder
I can think at all
And though my lack of edu---cation
Hasn't hurt me none
I can read the writing on the wall
Kodachrome
They give us those nice bright colors
They give us the greens of summers
Makes you think all the world's a sunny day, Oh yeah
I got a Nikon camera
I love to take a photograph
So mama don't take my Kodachrome away
If you took all the girls I knew
When I was single
And brought them all together for one night
I know they'd never match
my sweet imagination
And everything looks worse in black and white
Kodachrome
They give us those nice bright colors
They give us the greens of summers
Makes you think all the world's a sunny day, Oh yeah
I got a Nikon camera
I love to take a photograph
So mama don't take my Kodachrome away
 
I'm looking through you - The Beatles
I'm looking through you, where did you go
I thought I knew you, what did I know
You don't look different, but you have changed
I'm looking through you, you're not the same
Your lips are moving, I cannot hear
Your voice is soothing, but the words aren't clear
You don't sound differnt, I've learned the game.
I'm looking through you, you're not the same
Why, tell me why, did you not treat me right?
Love has a nasty habit of disappearing overnight
You're thinking of me, the same old way
You were above me, but not today
The only difference is you're down there
I'm looking through you and you're nowhere
Why, tell me why, did you not treat me right?
Love has a nasty habit of disappearing overnight
I'm looking through you, where did you go
I thought I knew you, what did I know
You don't look different, but you have changed
I'm looking through you, you're not the same
-----------
I totally agree with you, zen.
 
Quite possibly the most beautiful and affective (*not* effective, although that word also applies here) song that I have *ever* heard.
Magic - Ben Folds Five
From the back of your big brown eyes
I knew you'd be gone as soon as you could
And I hoped you would
We could see that you weren't yourself
And the lines on your face did tell
It's just as well
You'd never be yourself again
Saw you last night
dance by the light of the moon
Stars in your eyes
Free from the life that you knew
You're the magic that holds the sky up from the ground
You're the breath that blows these cool winds 'round
Trading places with an angel now
Saw you last night
Dance by the light of the moon
Stars in your eyes
Free from the life that you knew
Saw you last night
Stars in your eyes
Smiled in my room.
 
third eye blind-motorcycle driveby
Summer time and the wind is blowing,
Outside in lower Chelsea.
And I don't know what I'm doing in this city,
The sun is always in my eyes,
it crashes through the windows,
And I'm sleeping on the couch,
When I came to visit you,
That's when I knew,
I could never have you,
I knew that before you did,
Still I'm feeling stupid,
And there's this burning,
Like there's always been,
I've never been so alone,
And I've never been so alive.
Visions of you on a motorcycle drive by,
Cigarette ash flies in your eyes,
And you don't mind,
And you smile,
And say the world doesn't fit with you.
I don't believe you,
You're so serene.
Careening through the universe,
Your axis on a tilt,
Guiltless and free,
I hope you take a piece of me with you
And there's things I'd like to do that you don't believe in,
I would like to build something,
You know it's never going to happen,
And there's this burning,
Like there's always been,
I've never been so alone,
And I've never been so alive,
And there's this burning,
There is this burning.
Where's the soul. I want to know,
New York City is evil.
The surface is everything,
but I could never do that,
Someone would see through that.
And this will be the last time,
We'll be friends again.
I'll get over you and you'll wonder,
Who I am
And there's this burning,
Like there's always been,
I've never been so alone,
And I've never been so alive,
I go home to the coast.
It starts to rain,
I paddle out,
On the water Alone,
Taste the salt and taste the pain.
I'm not thinking of you again,
Summer dies and swells rise,
The sun goes down in my eyes,
See this rolling wave,
Darkly coming to take me,
Home,
And I never been so alone,
And I've never been so alive.
 
Emotion Detector
When we lift the covers from our feelings
We expose our insecure spots
Trust is just as rare as devotion‹
Forgive us our cynical thoughts
If we need too much attention ‹
Not content with being cool
We must throw ourselves wide open
And start acting like a fool
If we need too much approval
Then the cuts can seem too cruel
Right to the heart of the matter
Right to the beautiful part
Illusions are painfully shattered
Right where discovery starts
In the secret wells of emotion
Buried deep in our hearts
It's true that love can change us
But never quite enough
Sometimes we are too tender
Sometimes we're too tough
If we get too much attention
It gets hard to overrule
So often fragile power turns
To scorn and ridicule
Sometimes our big splashes
Are just ripples in the pool
Feelings run high
- Rush
Something For Nothing
Waiting for the winds of change
To sweep the clouds away
Waiting for the rainbow's end
To cast its gold your way
Countless ways
You pass the days
Waiting for someone to call
And turn your world around
Looking for an answer to
The question you have found
Looking for
An open door
You don't get something for nothing
You don't get freedom for free
You won't get wise
With the sleep still in your eyes
No matter what your dreams might be
What you own is your own kingdom
What you do is your own glory
What you love is your own power
What you live is your own story
In your head is the answer
Let it guide you along
Let your heart be the anchor
And the beat of your own song
- Rush
 
deep inside of you - third eye blind
when we met light was shed
thoughts free flow you said you've got something
deep inside of you
a wind chime voice sound
sway your hips round rings true
it goes deep inside of you
these secret garden beams
changed my life so it seems
a fall breeze blows outside
I don't break stride
my thoughs are warm, and they go
deep inside of you
and i've never felt alone until i met you
friends say I've changed
I don't listen cause I live to be
deep inside of you
slide of her dress shouts in the darkness
I'm so alive
I'm deep inside of you
you said boy make girl feel good
but still deep inside
but still I've never felt alone
till I met you
I'm alright on my own
till I met you
and I'd know what to do if I just knew what's coming
I would change myself if I could
I'd walk with my own people if I could find them
and I would say that I'm sorry to you
I'm sorry to you, but I don't want to call you
but then I want to call you cause I don't want to crush you
but I feel like crushing you and it's true
I took for granted you were with me
I breath by your looks and you look right through me
but we were broke and didn't know
something's gone you withdraw and I'm not strong like before
I was deep inside of you
I can go nowhere
I burn candles and stare at a ghost
deep inside of you
and some great need in me
starts to bleed
I've lost my self there's nothing left
it's all gone
deep inside of you
deep inside of you
make me stay - ani difranco
i'm gonna turn
and walk away
you can wait
till i am far along
then run and come
and catch my arm
and say you'd die
if i were gone
i want to hear you
call my name
it's too easy
just to say it soft
i don't like my language
watered down
i don't like my edges
rounded off
i can't always wait
for your circumstance to improve
love is loose it
shifts each time you move
go ahead, put my back
against the wall
give it all up
or don't give it to me at all
you never know this could be
our last night
so step back
step back into the light
so i can see your silhouette
i'm not done looking yet
save the profile for the camera
give me your eye to eye
i know all your secrets
and you know all of mine
mostly i don't go
for the soft focus and the fantasy
i need something real
i can think
and say and see so
i'm going to turn
and walk away
you wait till i am far along
then run and come
and catch my arm
and say you'd die
if i were gone
yes i'm going to turn
and walk away
you can watch me go
or you can make me stay
 
Suck - Pigface, lyrics by Trent Reznor
There is no god up in the sky tonight
No sign of heaven anywhere in sight
All that was true is left behind
Once I could see now I am blind
Don't want your dreams you try to sell
This disease I give to myself
How does it feel?
How does it feel?
She makes it sweeter than the sun
I get too tight I come undone
I bow my head to confess
The temple walls are made of flesh
Runs up my arms 'til I'm on track
Itches my skin right off of my back
I'll heal your wounds
I'll set you free
I'm Jesus Christ of Ecstacy
How does it feel?
How does it feel?
I am so dirty on on the inside
I am so dirty on on the inside
I am so dirty on on the inside
I am so dirty on on the inside
How does it feel?
How does it feel?
Suck
Suck
Suck
Suck
A thousand lips a thousand tongues
A thousand throats a thousand lungs
A thousand ways to make it true
I want to do terrible things to you

I want love
But it's impossible
A man like me
So irresponsible
A man like me
Is dead in places
Other men feel liberated
I can't love
Shot full of holes
Don't feel nothing
I just feel cold
Don't feel nothing
Just old scars
Toughening up
Around my heart
But I want love
Just a different kind
I want love
Won't break me down
Won't brick me up
Won't fence me in
I want a love that
Don't mean a thing
That's the love I want
I want love
I want love on
My own terms
After everything
I've ever learned
Me, I carry too
Much baggage
Oh man I've seen
So much traffic
But I want love
Just a different kind
I want love
Won't break me down
Won't brick me up
Won't fence me in
I want a love that
Don't mean a thing
That's the love I want
I want love
So bring it on
I've been bruised
Don't give me love
That's clean and smooth
I'm ready for
The rougher stuff
No sweet romance
I've had enough
A man like me
Is dead in places
Other men feel liberated
But I want love
Just a different kind
I want love
Won't break me down
Won't brick me up
Won't fence me in
I want a love that
Don't mean a thing
That's the love I want
I want love
I want love
Just a different kind
I want love
Won't break me down
Won't brick me up
Won't fence me in
I want a love that
Don't mean a thing
That's the love I want
I want love
I Want Love - Elton John
 
Speaking of U2 (God, I hate segues), a good friend of mine by the name of Brownie once dedicated a thread to his favorite U2 song of all time.
It just happened to be my favorite U2 song of all time, too.
One gorgeous sunny summer afternoon in 1996, during a particularly challenging period in my life, I was driving back to the office after a satisfying lunch.
This favorite U2 song of mine came on the radio as I approached the office, so naturally, I circled the block so I could enjoy the rest of the song.
I ended up circling the block for over an hour crying . . . one of those "emotions-been-kept-inside-for-way-too-fucking-long" cries.
When I finally composed myself, parked my car, and returned to the office, I was greeted by my employer, who had been waiting impatiently for me to finish an important project.
My employer then spent what seemed like an eternity chastising me for my two-and-a-half hour lunch.
It was worth it.
Brownie, this one's for you:
I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For
I have climbed highest mountain
I have run through the fields
Only to be with you
Only to be with you
I have run
I have crawled
I have scaled these city walls
These city walls
Only to be with you
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
I have kissed honey lips
Felt the healing in her fingertips
It burned like fire
This burning desire
I have spoke with the tongue of angels
I have held the hand of a devil
It was warm in the night
I was cold as a stone
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
I believe in the kingdom come
Then all the colors will bleed into one
Bleed into one
Well yes I'm still running
You broke the bonds and you
Loosed the chains
Carried the cross
Of my shame
Of my shame
You know I believed it
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for . . .
 
"My world it moves so fast today
The past it seems so far away
And life squeezes so tight that I can't breathe
And every time I try to be, what someone else has thought of me
So caught up, I wasn't able to achieve
But deep in my heart, the answer it was in me
And I made up my mind to define my own destiny
I look at my environment
And wonder where the fire went
What happened to everything we used to be
I hear so many cry for help
Searching outside of themselves
Now I know the strength is within me
And deep in my heart, the answer it was in me
And I made up my mind to define my own destiny
And deep in my heart...
And deep in my heart, the answer it was in me
And I made up my mind to define my own destiny"
