Lyrics That Appeal To You Today!

I roll the window down
And then begin to breathe in
The darkest country road
And the strong scent of evergreen
From the passenger seat as you are driving me home.

Then looking upwards
I strain my eyes and try
To tell the difference between shooting stars and satellites
From the passenger seat as you are driving me home.

"do they collide?"
I ask and you smile.
With my feet on the dash
The world doesn't matter.

When you feel embarrassed then i'll be your pride
When you need directions then i'll be the guide
For all time.

Death Cab for Cutie- Passengers
 
If you just walked away
What could I really say?
Would it matter anyway?
Would it change how you feel?

I am the mess you chose
The closet you cannot close
The devil in you I suppose
Cause the wounds never heal

But everything changes if I could
turn back the years, If you could
learn to forgive me, then I could
learn how to feel

Sometimes the things I say
In moments of disarray
Succumbing to the games we play
To make sure that it's real

But everything changes if I could
Turn back the years, if you could
Learn to forgive me, then I could
learn to feel

When it's just me and you,
Who knows what we could do
If we can just make it through
The toughest part of the day

Everything changes if I could
Turn back the years, if you could
Learn to forgive me, then I could
Learn how to feel, then we could
Stay here together, and we could
Conquer the world, If we could
Say that forever is more than just a word

If you just walked away
What could I really say?
Would it matter anyway?
It wouldn't change how you feel?

~ "Everything Changes" - Staind
 
I know this song is about a woman, but to me it really is more about a drug . . .

Fuck You Lucy--Atmosphere

[Women Singing]
"Leave never would you, you show could I If" [x6]

[Slug]
She say that she still wants a friendship
She can't live her life without me as a friend
I can't figure out why I give a damn to what she wants
I don't understand the now before the then
Most of this garbage I write that these people seem to like
Is about you and how I let you infect my life
And if they got to know you, I doubt that they would see it
They'd wonder what I showed you how you could leave it
A friend in Chicago said that I should stay persistent
If I stay around I'm bound to break resistance
Fuck you Lucy for defining my existence
Fuck you and your differences

Ever since I was a young lad with a part-time dad
It was hard to find happiness inside of what I had
I studied my mother, I digested her pain
And vowed no women on my path would have to walk the same
Travel like sound across the fate ladder
I travel with spoon to mix this cake batter
And I travel with feels so I can deal with touch
It's like that, thank you very much, fuck you very much!

[Chorus]
(Yes, yes it is)
And everyone in his life would mistake it as love
Everyone in his life would mistake it as love
Everyone in his life would mistake it as love
(Yes, yes it is)
And everyone in his life would mistake it as love
Everyone in his life would mistake it as love
Everyone in his life would mistake it as love

[Slug]
Fuck the "what happened?", I got stuck
They can peel pieces of me off the grill of her truck
Used to walk with luck, used to hold her hand
Fell behind then played the role of a slower man
I want to stand on top of this mountain and yell
I want to wake up and break up this lake of hell
I feel like a bitch for letting the she twist me up
The last starfighter is wounded, time to give it up
On a pick it up mission, kept it bitter
Gettin' in a million memories just to forget her
The difficulty in keepin' emotions controlled
Cookies for the road, took me by the soul
Hunger for the drama, hunger for the nurture
Gonna take it further, the hurt feels like murder
Interpret the eyes, read the lines on her face
The sunshine is fake, how much time did I waste?
Fuck you Lucy for leaving me
Fuck you Lucy for not needing me
I wanna say fuck you because I still love you
No, I'm not okay, and I don't know what to do

[Chorus]
(Yes, yes it is)
And everyone in his life would mistake it as love
Everyone in his life would mistake it as love
Everyone in his life would mistake it as love
(Yes, yes it is)
And everyone in his life would mistake it as love
Everyone in his life would mistake it as love
Everyone in his life would mistake it as love

[Slug]
Do I sound mad? Well I guess I'm a little pissed
Every action has a point, five points make a fist
You close 'em, you swing 'em, it's hurts when it hits
And the truth can be a bitch, but if the boot fits
I got an idea: You should get a tattoo that says "Warning"
That's all, just a warning, so the potential victim can take a left and save breath,
And avoid you, sober and upset in the morning
I wanna scream, "Fuck you Lucy!"
But the problem is I love you Lucy
So instead I'ma finish my drink and have another
While you think about how you used to be my lover

[Chorus]
(Yes, yes it is)
And everyone in his life would mistake it as love
Everyone in his life would mistake it as love
Everyone in his life would mistake it as love
(Yes, yes it is)
And everyone in his life would mistake it as love
Everyone in his life would mistake it as love
Everyone in his life would mistake it as love

motorcycle drive by~third eye blind

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 that I could never have you,
I knew that before you did,
Still I’m the one who’s 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,
The cigarette ash flies in your eyes, and you don’t mind, 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, you’re 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, but you’d never see it happen
And there’s this burning, like there’s always been,
I’ve never been so alone, and i’ve, I’ve never been so alive,

And there’s this burning, ah ha, there was this burning. aye yie yie

Where’s the soul. I want to know, new york city’s evil.
The surface is everything, but I could never do that,
Someone would see through that.
And this is the last time, we’ll be friends again.
And I’ll get over you ,you’ll wonder, who I am.
And there’s this burning, just like there’s always been,
I’ve never been so alone, alone, and i’ve, and i’ve, I’ve never been so alive, 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.

 
This song just hits me sometimes . . . I love it, always, just some days it seems to have a bit more meaning then other days . . . like today . . . i miss you sugar . . .

Bonny--Prefab Sprout

I spend the days with my vanity

I’m lost in heaven and I’m lost to earth
Didn’t give you minutes not even moments
All my life in a tower of foil
Shaded feelings, don’t believe you

When you were there before my eyes
No one planned it took it for granted

I count the hours since you slipped away
I count the hours that I lie awake
I count the minutes and the seconds too
All I stole and I took from you
But bonny don’t live at home, he don’t live at home
Words don’t hold you, broken soldiers

Instrumental

I count the hours since you slipped away
I count the hours that I lie awake
I count the minutes and the seconds too
All I stole and I took from you
But bonny don’t live at home, he don’t live at home
Words don’t hold you, broken soldiers

All my silence and my strained respect
Missed chances and the same regrets
Kiss the thief and you save the rest
All my insights from retrospect
But bonny’s not coming home, he don’t live at home
Save your speeches, flowers are for funerals
 
This song is just so fucking beautiful . . . and its just a manifestation of how I've felt since the end of December . . .

Stand Inside Your Love--The Smashing Pumpkins

You and me
Meant to be
Immutable
Impossible
It's destiny
Pure lunacy
Incalculable
Insufferable
But for the last time
You're everything that I want and ask for
You're all that I'd dreamed
Who wouldn't be the one you love
Who wouldn't stand inside your love
Protected and the lover of
A pure soul and beautiful you
Don't understand
Don't feel me now
I will breathe
For the both of us
Travel the world
Traverse the skies
Your home is here
Within my heart
And for the first time
I feel as though I am reborn
In my mind
Recast as child and mystic sage
Who wouldn't be the one you love
Who wouldn't stand inside your love
And for the first time
I'm telling you how much I need and bleed for
Your every move and waking sound
In my time
I'll wrap my wire around your heart and your mind
You're mine forever now
Who wouldn't be the one you love and live for
Who wouldn't stand inside your love and die for
Who wouldn't be the one you love
 
I've been, watching your world from afar,
I've been, trying to be where you are,
And I've been secretly falling apart,
I'll see.
To me, you're strange and you're beautiful,
You'd be so perfect with me but you just can't see,
You turn every head but you don't see me.

I'll put a spell on you,
You'll fall asleep and I'll put a spell on you.
And when I wake you,
I'll be the first thing you see, lyricstop
And you'll realise that you love me.

Sometimes, the last thing you want comes in first,
Sometimes, the first thing you want never comes,
And I know, the waiting is all you can do,
Sometimes...

I'll put a spell on you,
You'll fall asleep,
I'll put a spell on you,
And when I wake you,
I'll be the first thing you see,
And you'll realise that you love me.


Aqualung- strange and beautiful.
 


What day is it? And in what month?
This clock never seemed so alive
I can't keep up and I can't back down
I've been losing so much time

Cause it's you and me and all of the people with nothing to do
Nothing to lose
And it's you and me and all of the people
And I don't know why, I can't keep my eyes off of you

All of the things that I want to say just aren't coming out right
I'm tripping on words
You've got my head spinning
I don't know where to go from here

Cause it's you and me and all of the people with nothing to do
Nothing to prove
And it's you and me and all of the people
And I don't know why, I can't keep my eyes off of you

There's something about you now
I can't quite figure out
Everything she does is beautiful
Everything she does is right

Cause it's you and me and all of the people with nothing to do
Nothing to lose
And it's you and me and all of the people
And I don't know why, I can't keep my eyes off of you
and me and all of the people with nothing to do
Nothing to prove
And it's you and me and all of the people
And I don't know why, I can't keep my eyes off of you

What day is it?
And in what month?
This clock never seemed so alive...


"You And Me" by Lifehouse
 
Artist: Linkin Park
Album: Meteora
Title: From The Inside


I don’t know who to trust, your surprise
Everything feel so far away from me
Have your thoughts sent through dust, and the lies
Trying not to break, but I’m so tired of this to see
Every time I try to make myself get back up on my feet
All I ever think about is this, all the time and time between
And how trying to put my trust in you just takes so much out of me

Take everything from the inside
And throw it all away
‘Cause I swear for the last time
I won’t trust myself with you

Tension is building inside, steadily
You feel so far away from me
Have your thoughts forcing their way out of me

Trying not to break, but I’m so tired of this deceit
Every time I try to make myself get back up on my feet
All I ever think about is this, all the time and time between
And how trying to put my trust in you just takes so much out of me

Take everything from the inside
And throw it all away
Cause I swear for the last time

I won’t trust myself with you
I won’t waste myself on you!!!
You!!!
You!!!
Waste myself on you!!!
You!!!
You!!!

I’ll take everything from the inside
And throw it all away
Cause I swear for the last time
I won’t trust myself with you
Everything from the inside
And throw it all away
‘Cause I swear for the last time
I won’t trust myself with you
You
You
You

Nine Inch Nails - HURT

I saw NIN last night and this song hit me like a Mack truck...the bits in bold were the bits that made me cry...

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

:( but in a good way...if that makes sense. :)
 
The only time a song has ever made me cry was while watching the video of the Johnny Cash cover of "Hurt".

"Something I can never have - NIN"

I still recall the taste of your tears.
Echoing your voice just like the ringing in my ears.
My favorite dreams of you still wash ashore.
Scraping through my head 'till I don't want to sleep anymore.

[Chorus:]
Come on tell me.
You make this all go away.
You make this all go away.
I'm down to just one thing.
And I'm starting to scare myself.
You make this all go way.
You make this all go way.
I just want something.
I just want something I can never have

You always were the one to show me how
Back then I couldn't do the things that I can do now.
This thing is slowly taking me apart.
Grey would be the color if I had a heart.
Come on tell me

[Chorus]

In this place it seems like such a shame.
Though it all looks different now,
I know it's still the same
Everywhere I look you're all I see.
Just a fading fucking reminder of who I used to be.

[Chorus]

I just want something.
I just want something I can never have
I just want something I can never have

Think I know what you meant.
That night on my bed.
Still picking at this scab
I wish you were dead.
You sweat and perry ellis.
Just stains on my sheets.

I find this song to be equally as powerful.

Shelby Lynne - I Can't Wait

Looking at the face of the one and only
Hoping just to find a loner's prayer
Hooking into feelings of the lonely
Groping in the emptiness of there
I'm waiting on the day for somebody say they love me
I can't wait
I can't wait
I'm waiting on the day for somebody say they want me
I can't wait another day
I can't wait
Fallen into circles of the colors
Wading in the fire that feels like pools
Wanting needing feeling one another
Never ending motionless and cool
I'm waiting on the day for somebody say they love me
I can't wait
I can't wait
I'm waiting on the day for somebody say they want me
I can't wait another day
I can't wait
By myself an aching for the morrow
Be still in the move or come too soon
Watching clocks and promise takes me under
Bide my time as wishes disappear
I'm waiting on the day for somebody say they love me
I can't wait
I can't wait
I'm waiting on the day for somebody say they want me
I can't wait another day
I can't wait
 
Beck - Golden Age

Put your hands on the wheel
Let the golden age begin
Let the window down
Feel the moonlight on your skin
Let the desert wind
Cool your aching head
Let the weight of the world
Drift away instead

These day I barely get by
I don’t even try

It’s a treacherous road
With a desolated view
There’s distant lights
But here they’re far and few
And the sun don’t shine
Even when it’s day
You gotta drive all night
Just to feel like you’re ok

These days I barely get by
I don’t even try
 
The evil that men do lives after them;
The good is oft interred with their bones;
So let it be with Caesar. The noble Brutus
Hath told you Caesar was ambitious:
If it were so, it was a grievous fault,
And grievously hath Caesar answer'd it.
Here, under leave of Brutus and the rest--
For Brutus is an honourable man;
So are they all, all honourable men--
He was my friend, faithful and just to me:
Ambition should be made of sterner stuff:
Yet Brutus says he was ambitious;
And Brutus is an honourable man.
O judgment! thou art fled to brutish beasts,
And men have lost their reason. Bear with me;
My heart is in the coffin there with Caesar,
And I must pause till it come back to me.

El-P "TOJ"

And you can tell that maybe time is out of joint, my love
So this is maybe just an SOS shrapnel, an echo of dead sentiment
Measurement tossed to nothing for no one
Or wasted effort to shrug
Or maybe resident incurable romantic defunct in the face of fact
Blackboard formula erased by the next class
But the outline is still intact, and I see it
And I'm still not sure of the meaning
But I'll say it, write it down, and read it for you

(Begin)
No protective leathery flesh of emotional chain-mail
(No running shoes) no running, no locking doors, no anger
(No e-mail) no voicemail communicational strangulation
Or distortion of purity sentiment
No fantasy of reconciliation or delusion
& no revenge
(No bullshit) no codes or hidden agendas,
No preaching
(No pedestal) no standing on the pulpit, no ego,
no new speaker freakish lingo

(Here I go...)
I haven't loved many people...
I grew up afraid that I was crazy...
One time when I was deep inside your body, you purred
And I was sure that you were gonna have my baby

And you can tell that maybe time is out of joint my love
So this is maybe just an SOS shrapnel, an echo of dead sentiment

Measurement tossed to nothing for no one or wasted effort to shrug

And you can tell that maybe time is out of joint my love
So this is maybe just an SOS shrapnel, an echo of dead sentiment

Measurement tossed to nothing for no one or wasted effort to shrug
I used to be in love...


Everything you said... I took it all to heart
And you spurred a change in me
Before I could become a new sun I had to fall apart
And I can see that now
And I wish you well
Cause you saw what was good in me
And I'll be god damned if I didn't see that myself
And everything you are
I look at that w/ pride
Before I could become a grown man I had to lose my mind
And I see that now
And I wish you well
Cause I see what is good in you
And I'll be god damned
If you can't see that yourself

I was just listening to this song earlier today. I have always liked it. It is a rap song, and very few rap songs are poetic, but this one is. The author seems to be in love, and he wants his love to recognize that he is truly in love with her.

The author first points out that he may just be shooting in the dark; the words he is saying may not persuede her to love him, but he feels that this is his last chance to try. He goes through several things that she may have experienced in past relationships and assures her that she will have to worry about none of that happening again. Those things are in the "Benign" section. Then from his "here I go" on through the rest of the song, he is explaining how his love has already changed him for the best and how he was never complete without this love in his life. He also wants her to know how truly special she is, and he thinks she should recognize that as well, not just because he says that to her, but because without him she is still that special person.

Truly romantic and from the bottom of the heart. :D :) This is why I love UG rap so much. It has meaning, unlike most of the MTVish rap. :p
 
What I'll give you since you asked is all my time together
Take the rugged sunny days, the warm and rocky weather
Take the roads that I have walked along, looking for tomorrow's time
Peace of mind

As your life spills into mine, changing with the seasons
Filling up the world with time, changing time to reasons
I can show you all the songs that I never sang to someone before
We have seen a zillion stars lying by the water

You have climbed the hills with me to the mountain shelter
Taking off the days one by one, setting them to breathe in the sun
Take the lilies and the lace from the days of childhood
All the willow winding paths leading up and outward
This is what I give, this is what I ask you for
Nothing more
~
Dan Fogelberg - Since You've Asked
 
Moby - Spiders

We just had to ask
Maybe some one out of heaven
Would hear us down here

We couldn't bear to stand
How the people leave us waiting
For something up there

Oh, why did you leave?
Why won't you come?
And save us again?

Come back to us spiders
Come uncrush my hands
Let peace and beauty reign
And bring us love again, like you can

We just didn't know
Someone there outside of heaven
Heard us down here

We couldn't stand it here
How the people leave us longing
For something up there

Oh, why did you leave?
And why won't you come?
And save us again?

Come back to us spiders
Come uncrush my hands
Let peace and beauty reign
And bring us love again, like you can

Come back to us spiders
Come uncrush my hands
Let peace and beauty reign
And bring us love again, like you can

So much time, we need to ask everything
How did it go, you need it I got it

Come back to us spiders
Come uncrush my hands
Let peace and beauty reign
And bring us love again, like you can

Come back to us spiders
Come uncrush my hands
Let peace and beauty reign
And bring us love again, like you can

Like you can
 
'Moving On' Good Charlotte

When I think about my life
I wonder if I will survive
To live to see 25
Or will I just fall?
Like all my friends
They just keep dying
People round me
Always crying
In this place that I like to
Call my home

But not everybody knows
That everybody goes
To a better place
And not everybody knows
That everybody could be living their last days
But the hard times will come
and we'll keep movin' on
We're moving up
Keep movin' on

Life!
Hope!
Truth!
Trust!
Faith!
Pride!
Love!
Lust!

On without the things we've lost
The things we gained
We'll take with us
And all I've got
Are these two hands
To make myself
A better man, I
Wonder if I'll ever see the end of this
With all this rain
It just keeps falling
On my head
And now I'm calling
Out to someone else
To help me make it through

But not everybody knows
That everybody goes
To a better place
And not everybody knows
That everybody could be living their last days
But the hard times will come
and we'll keep movin' on
We're moving up
Keep movin' on

Life!
Hope!
Truth!
Trust!
Faith!
Pride!
Love!
Lust!
Pain!
Hate!
Lies!
Guilt!
Laugh!
Cry!
Live!
Die!

Some friends become enemies
Some friends become your family
Make the best with what your given
This ain't dying~
This is living!

Said we're movin' on
And we got nothing to prove to anyone
Cuz we'll get through
We're movin' on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and

Keep movin' on!

Life!
Hope!
Truth!
Trust!
Faith!
Pride!
Love!
Lust!
Pain!
Hate!
Lies!
Guilt!
Laugh!
Cry!
Live!
Die!

Some friends become enemies
Some friends become your family
Make the best with what your given
This ain't dying
This is living!!!
