Lyrics And Songs

[ian]

most of the best music lyrics are just one or 2 liners, the good ones always seem to stick with people...

some of my faves-

If it looks like it works, and it feels like it works, then it works (snow patrol-wow)

Love, love is a verb, love is a doing word. (Teardrop-Massive Attack)

Cause holy cow, I love your eyes, and only now I see you like (Elbow-one day like this)


and then there are songs that mean a lot lyrically...

The Verve-Drugs dont work. It was actually writen about Ashcrofts mother who was going through chemotherapy and not writen about Ashcrofts drug problems, if you read the lyrics you can actually see. It was released while my best friends mother was going through a course of chemo and my best friend listened to it constantly.

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

[Night61]

stand by you

Oh, why you look so sad? Tears are in your eyesCome on and come to me now. Don't be ashamed to cry, let me see you through
Cause I've seen the dark side too.When the night falls on you, you don't know what to do,Nothing you confess could make me love you less
I'll stand by you, I'll stand by you, won't let nobody hurt you,I'll stand by you.
So, if you're mad get mad, don't hold it all inside,Come on and talk to me now.And hey, what you got to hide? I get angry too
But I'm alot like you.When you're standing at the crossroads, don't know which path to choose,Let me come along, cause even if your wrong
I'll stand by you, I'll stand by you, won't let nobody hurt you,I'll stand by you.
Take me into your darkest hour, and I'll never desert you.I'll stand by you.And when, when the night falls on you baby, you're feeling all alone,You won't be on your own,
I'll stand by you. I'll stand by youI'll stand by you, won't let nobody hurt you. I'll stand by youTake me in into your darkest hour and I'll never desert youI'll stand by you.


every time i hear this song, it makes me feel like i am not alone.

tupac shakur - me against the world

dedicated to gorden brown
a tribute to biggot gate

With all this extra stressin
The question I wonder is after death, after my last breath
When will I finaly get to rest? Through this supression
they punish the people that's askin questions
And those that possess, steal from the ones without possesions
The message I stress: to make it stop study your lessons
Don't settle for less - even the genius asks his questions
Be grateful for blessings
Don't ever change, keep your essence
The power is in the people and politics we address
Always do your best, don't let the pressure make you panic
And when you get stranded
And things don't go the way you planned it
Dreamin of riches, in a position of makin a difference
Politicians and hypocrites, they don't wanna listen

Lose My Soul - TobyMac


Father God, I am clay in your hands
Help me to stay that way through all life's demands
'Cause they chip and they nag and they pull at me
And every little thing I make up my mind to be
Like I'm gonna be a daddy whose in the mix
And I'm gonna be a husband who stays legit
And I pray that I'm an artist who rises above the road that is wide and filled with self love
Everything that I see draws me
Though its only in You that I can truly see that its a feast for the eyes - a low blow to purpose
And I'm a little kid at a three ring circus

I don't want to gain the whole world and lose my soul
Don't wanna walk away let me hear the people say
I don't want to gain the whole world and lose my soul
Don't wanna walk away let me hear the people say

The paparazzi flashes and that they think that it’s you
But they don’t know that who you are is not what you do
True, we get it twisted when we peak at the charts
Yo before we part from the start where’s your heart?
You’re a pimp, hustler?
Tell me what’s your title
America has no more stars now we call them idols
You sit idle
While we teach prosperity
The first thing to prosper should be inside of me
We’re free …
Not because of 22’s the a range
But #32### came in range we said yes now we changed
Not the same even though I made a fall
Since I got that call no more Saul now I’m Paul

I don't want to gain the whole world and lose my soul
Don't wanna walk away let me hear the people say
I don't want to gain the whole world and lose my soul
Don't wanna walk away let me hear the people say

How do I sense the tide that's rising?
De-sensitizing me from living in light of eternity
How do I sense the tide that's rising?


It's a great song. Here is a link for it: http/www.youtube.com/watch?v=Duj9sS-mqSo

Shinedown ~ Burning Bright

I feel like there is no need for conversation
Some questions are better left without a reason
And I would rather reveal myself than my situation
Now and then I consider, my hesitation

(Chorus)
The more the light shines through me
I pretend to close my eyes
The more the dark consumes me
I pretend I'm burning, burning bright

I wonder if the things I did were just to be different
To spare myself of the constant shame of my existence
And I would surely redeem myself in my desperation
Here and now I'll express, my situation

(Chorus) (X2)
The more the light shines through me
I pretend to close my eyes
The more the dark consumes me
I pretend I'm burning bright

The more the light shines through me
I pretend to close my eyes
The more the dark consumes me
I pretend I'm burning

There's nothing ever wrong but nothing's ever right
Such a cruel contradiction
I know I cross the lines its not easy to define
I'm born to indecision
There's always something new some path I'm supposed to choose
With no particular rhyme or reason

(Chorus) (X2)
The more the light shines through me
I pretend to close my eyes
The more the dark consumes me
I pretend I'm burning bright

The more the light shines through me
I pretend to close my eyes
The more the dark consumes me
I pretend I'm burning

I feel like there is no need for conversation

The absolute most true verse in the entire world!!! I think at any rate.

 

[Paradise3]

Basically i have a song that means alot to me because it reminds me of my brothers, who recently went to live with their dad. I'm only 13 and they are 4 and 7.

My song is evanescence - My immortal because of the chorus. (chorus below)
"When you cried i'd wipe away all your tears,
When you'd scream i'd fight away all your fears,
And i held your hand through all of these years,
But you still have...... all of me."

My reasons for this being my song/one of my songs.
I did wipe away any tears i saw them cry,
I told them it would be ok when they screamed because the were scared,
I held their hands through the time they were here,
I literally feel lost with them not here, so i say they took me with them.

Here's a link to the song - http/www.youtube.com/watch?v=bU9FwP4uOY8
Because this song is about losing someone and well that's what has happened, i lost both my brothers.

If i think of anymore i will tell you.

I did know that, Noel wrote it when Ashcroft was at his lowest and took that OD apparently. Have you heard Ashcrofts new stuff called RPA and the united nations of sound? Its really good stuff.
