Not many things in this world speak directly to one's soul. True love and true friendship are very hard to come by so what is one to do.

Well, to quote Mentor Williams, "Gimme the beat, boys, and free my soul, I wanna get lost in your rockin roll and Drift Away"

Music is probably one of the most important aspects of healthy spirituality as it enables a dialog with the soul,and that is right up there with laughter and rem sleep. Without these three outlets, one would surely go mad. I have embraced that dialog as something of a necessity. Through the years there have been many songs that spoke directly to me through music alone but most of them have been a lyrical dialog. Which brings us to the subject of this thread.

I got into Bob Seger when I was but 4 years old because I loved the saxophone, it spoke directly to me and from then on well.. Music has always been there for me to relate to (very important for us outcast loner types), that relationship was built on the heart string pulling melodies and the poetry of song lyrics and was a way for me to understand myself and the world around me.

Lyrics most importantly, so now I would like to share with you some of the lyrics that have meant the most to me. When I was about 8 years old my mother saw my connection with music and gave me a song, though she doesn't really know it, that one song determined the course I took and is the reason why a man of my intelligence chose a blue collar lifestyle over that of a white collar one.

Lynyrd Skynyrd - Simple Man(lyrics included in video)
(Gary Rossington - Ronnie Vanzant)

Mama told me when I was young
Come sit beside me, my only son
And listen closely to what I say.
And if you do this
It will help you some sunny day.
Take your time... dont live too fast,
Troubles will come and they will pass.
Go find a woman and youll find love,
And dont forget son,
There is someone up above.

(chorus)
And be a simple kind of man.
Be something you love and understand.
Be a simple kind of man.
Wont you do this for me son,
If you can?

Forget your lust for the rich mans gold
All that you need is in your soul,
And you can do this if you try.
All that I want for you my son,
Is to be satisfied.

(chorus)

Boy, dont you worry... youll find yourself.
Follow you heart and nothing else.
And you can do this if you try.
All I want for you my son,
Is to be satisfied.


As I grew older my interests broadened to include that which is political and philosophical and the one band that spoke to me both musically and lyrically at that time was Black Sabbath. I was a hard rocker what can I say, later on though as my tastes refined I found I could appreciate classical music amongst others as well as hard rock and the flood gates really opened up for bands like Led Zeppelin, The Doors, and an entire host of other music from the 70's. There is so much I could share with you but I will have to narrow it down. Ok, one Sabbath and one Zepplin


Black Sabbath - Solotude - Of course What teen would be complete without a failed love interest.

My name it means nothing
My fortune is less
My future is shrouded in dark wilderness
Sunshine is far away, clouds linger on
Everything I possessed - now they are gone

Oh where can I go to and what can I do?
Nothing can please me only thoughts are of you
You just laughed when I begged you to stay
Ive not stopped crying since you went away

The world is a lonely place - you're on your own
Guess I will go home - sit down and moan.
Crying and thinking is all that I do
Memories I have remind me of you

Often very cryptic and full of fantasy Led Zeppelin really sparks the imagination when it comes to Robert Plant's lyrics and the melodic classical inspired blues guitar of Jimmy Page. It's easy to get lost in their music and anyone that enjoys the sound of an electric guitar will find many of Jimmy's riffs to be haunting to say the least. Like I said the lyrics are full of fantasy and mythical reference.

This is but one verse from their song Ramble On
Mines a tale that cant be told,
My freedom I hold dear;
How years ago in days of old
When magic filled the air,
Twas in the darkest depths of mordor
I met a girl so fair,
But gollum, and the evil one crept up
And slipped away with her.
Her, her....yea.
Aint nothing I can do, no.

a direct JRR reference no doubt.


One such song is as follows, but hey what prepubescent boy wasn't fascinated by vikings at one time or another.

Led Zeppelin - Immigrant Song

Ah, ah,
We come from the land of the ice and snow,
>from the midnight sun where the hot springs blow.
The hammer of the gods
Will drive our ships to new lands,
To fight the horde, to sing and cry:
Valhalla, I am coming!
On we sweep with threshing oar,
Our only goal will be the western shore.
Ah, ah,
We come from the land of the ice and snow,
>from the midnight sun where the hot springs blow.
How soft your fields so green,
Can whisper tales of gore,
Of how we calmed the tides of war.
We are your overlords.
On we sweep with threshing oar,
Our only goal will be the western shore.
So now youd better stop and rebuild all your ruins,
For peace and trust can win the day
Despite of all your losing.

Getting long now so I'll share more later, perhaps someone else could share some of the song lyrics they love.

well, i do sincerely hope that this is not considered thread necromancy, but i have a few lyrics i would like to share that have kept me going so far.

this song is "This Flesh A Tomb," by Atreyu.

I feel eyelashes on my cheek
And they lacerate my flesh
No pain so good
So put your hand in mine
Never let go
Never wake up 'cause I'm done with promises
I'm taking blood oaths
Feels like you could kiss my imperfections
My imperfections away
And I would stand
Stand by your side until the sun turns the sky
All the colors I see in your eyes
I'll never need to see the sun again
There's enough light in your eyes to light up our little world
So take me, take my away
Kill me slowly, I'll never be the same
I swear to you, on everything I am
And I dedicate to you all that I have
And I promise you that I will stand right by your side
Forever and always until the day I die
The bite marks on my neck never felt so good
I'm losing control and it's all that I can do
Not to blackout and fall into lust with you
Your kisses infect me
The dark gift is loving you
And I'll never need to see the sun again
There's enough light in your eyes to light up our little world
So take me, take me away
Kill me slowly, I'll never be the same
And I feel immortal and I want to make you feel the same
So stand by me as we immolate
We can burn in each other's arms [x2]

this song is one i found when i was about seven or eight years of age. this is what i am.

"I'm the One" by Danzig

I was born in the dirt
I never had no home
And the places I've lived
You don't wanna know
But if you wanna hear evil
Just come a little bit close

I was a snake-eyed boy
And at the age of five
I made love to the howl of the wolves
With a dark haired girl
So if you wanna hear evil
Come a little bit close

She whispered in my ear
Little boy you the one
Set the world to rights
Make it tremble in fear
Do it one more time
'Cause you the one, you're the one

You're the one, you're the one
You're the one, you're the one
Yea, you're the one
Little boy, you're the one
Do it one more time

She said the path you walk
Gonna be hard one to tread
'Cause the night is your only love
Lots of girls gonna be hurt
Said it's part of your fate
'Cause you're the one, you're the one

And now I know my place
In this life I ride
And I know the things I feel
A burning deep inside
So if you want to meet evil
I'm the one, I'm the one
I'm the one, I'm the one
I'm the one, I'm the one
Yea, I'm the one
I'm the one, I'm the one
Do it one more time

finally, the love song. well, at least part of the song; the rest is too offensive to post

"Unsuccessfully Coping With The Natural Beauty Of Infidelity" by Type O Negative

[part a. Anorganic Transmutogenesis (synthetic division)]

Trust and you'll be trusted
Says the liar to the fool
Lust and so what if you're busted?
In love and war there ain't no rules

Do you believe in forever?
I don't even believe in tomorrow
The only things that last forever
Are memories and sorrow

Out of sight out of mind
The motto of betrayal
The prophets preach to forgive and forget
I'm sorry, but I am unable

....perhaps some parodies would be appreciated?

This one is a Naruto-based parody of Aladdin's 'Never Had a Friend Like Me':

Lyrics, as sung by Shukaku:
Well your sister’s got an awesome rack
Kankuro’s puppets got a thousand nails
But Gaara you in luck 'cause on your back
you got a sand defense that never fails

Pain is what you’ll never know
and you’ll cause it when you’re bored
just use Sabaku kyuu, Sabaku sousou!
See all you gotta do is pop that gourd
And I'll say

Mister Gaara, sir
who will your victim be?
Let me kill that sucker
Take him down
You ain't never had a friend like me
No no no

Life is your dinner date,
I’ll pay your hidden fee!
C'mon whisper who it is you hate
You ain't never had a friend like me

Yes sir, I pride myself on sadism
You're the boss
The kage, the man
Say who you hate
They’re dead! First rate
How about a little more blood red sand?

Give them some Suna Bunshin
Crush them with Ryuusa bakuryu
I'm in the mood to kill some dudes
You ain't never had a friend like me

Weiweiwei
Saikou!
Weiweiwei
Zettai!
Weiweiwei
Bougyo!
Shukaku No Tate!

Can Uchihas do this?
Do Hyuugas do that?
Does Rock Lee pull this out of his little hat?
Can Naruto go, poof?
Well, looky here
Can Kyuubi go, Fuuton Renkuudan, let’er rip!
And then make the sucker disappear?

So don’t just sit there ,black rings around your eyes
I'm here to answer all your deathly prayers
You got me genuine, certified
You got a bijuu for your bloody affairs

I got a powerful urge to take people out
So who to kill? I really wanna know
You got a hit list that's three miles long, no doubt
Well, all you gotta do is frown like so - and oh

You, Gaara, sir, have a foe or two or three
I'm on the task, you big badass
You ain't never had a friend, never had a friend
You ain't never had a friend, never had a friend
You ain't never had a friend like me
You ain't never had a friend like me, hah!

I think that the following song hides a very special message... It is one of my favourites from Moonspell.

Capricorn At Her Feet ~ Moonspell

Snowbird, ablaze and hurt.
Brighter, fearless, just like a runaway.
Princess never-a-smile.
Oh, child! What makes you try?
Crying and sobbing
You greet the other day

She who never touches ground.

Spreading an eclipse.
Where never the sun shines,
At her feet.

Frostbite, Astray, Will, Faith.
Haunting, hunting ,she rules the game.
Twin soul you are always a strange.
Nothing ever makes you afraid?
Promising, threatening.
She looks the other way

Starlike, but never to be counted.
Look at your hands, child!
Destinies grow back to them.

Daughter sun
With nothing to say.
Never a fullmoon
Just the sickening ray.

Prudent.
In tears hiding,
No water shed.
The sign of the Cross
Will take you to bed.

In Capricorn.

Spreading an eclipse
May never the sun shine
At her feet...

Moonspell kicks ass! Thanks for turning me on Shalheira, kudos to you. The only Goth Metal I ever found that took my fancy was Type O Negative and Danzig. If you know of any others please enlighten me. I was hoping this thread did just this for me so thank you again for facilitating that desire.

Marcus, I know you have at least visited my profile so it's quite possible you are aware of my affinity for Naruto, so you got my interest on that point alone. Shame is I cant find any samples of it so I can't judge beyond the words. Cool though, so thanks.

With a name like evilkoal and your posts in the genetic engineering thread I really only expected the blackest of black and you surely delivered on that expectation. Your entries as you know from this post consist of two that I am very familiar with. My favorite Danzig song is probably Not Of This World and Type O Negative would have to be Black No. 1. New to me is Atreyu so thanks for that. They like so many others doesn't get the proper genre classification and that is because Alternative Metal is not an official genre but if I had the time I would see to it that it was.

I am somewhat short on time and I really must go but I feel I need to leave you something so I will rely on that which I know best for the moment but I will be back with a special tribute to the dark ones that have posted so far.

Black Sabbath
A National Acrobat

I am the world that hides
The universal secret of all time
Destruction of the empty spaces
Is my one and only crime
I've lived a thousand times
I found out what it means to be believed
The thoughts and images
The unborn child that never was conceived

When little worlds collide
I'm trapped inside my embryonic cell
And flashing memories
Are cast into the never-ending well
The name that scorns the face
The child that never sees the cause of man
The deathly darkness that
Belies the fate of those who never ran

Well I know its hard for you
To know the reason why
And I know you'll understand
More when it's time to die
Don't believe the life you have
Will be the only one
You have to let your body sleep
To let your soul live on

I want you to listen
I'm trying to get through

Love has given life to you
And now it's your concern
Unseen eye of inner life
Will make your soul return
Still I look but not to touch
The seeds of life are sown
Curtain of the future falls
The secret stays unknown

Just remember love is life
And hate is living death
Treat your life for what it's worth
And live for every breath
Looking back I've lived and learned
But now I'm wondering
Here I wait and only guess
What this next life will bring

as they say, it is darkest before dawn.

hmm... another goth metal band that i enjoy is H.I.M.

this is my favorite song from them! it is called "For You"

In the grace of your love I writhe in pain
In 666 ways I love you and I hope you feel the same

I'm for you
I'm for you

I'm killing myself for your love and again all is lost
In 777 ways I love you 'til my death do us part

I'm for you - and I'm dying for your love
I'm for you - and my heaven is wherever you are
I'm for you - and I'm dying for your love
I'm for you - and my heaven is wherever you are

In 666 ways I love you and my heaven is wherever
you are

I'm here for you - I am here for you
I'm here for you - I am here for you
I'm here for you - I am here for you
I'm here for you - I am here for you



every time i hear the song, it reminds me of a time not so long past...


surely you have heard of Ludacris! i believe that his best song is "Georgia"

Georgia, Georgia
Georgia, Georgia

[Chorus 2x]
We on the grind in... Georgia
All the time, it ain't
Nothin on my mind but... Georgia
We ain't playin witcha

Country Name
Country Slang
Fiends at the liquor store
Lac Cruisin
Crap Shootin
50 on the 10 to 4
Overcast the forecast
Shows clouds from plenty dro
And we ready for war in the state of... Georgia
Dirty Words
Dirty Birds
It's mean in the dirty south
If you ever disrespect it then we'll clean out your dirty mouth
Bulldogs is clockin
These look out boys is hawkin
You gotta be brave in the state of... Georgia
I got 5 Georgia homes where I rest my Georgia bones
Come anywhere on my land and I'll aim at your Georgia dome
If you get in an altercation just hop on your mobile phone
And tell somebody you need help in the middle of... Georgia
We some ATL thrashers
Scope your pumpkin and smasha
We'll come through your hood worse than a tsunami disaster
Don't know who they gonna get or who them robbers gonna hit
Thats why I keep my Georgia Tech in the state of... Georgia

[Chorus 2x]
We on the grind in... Georgia
All the time, it ain't
Nothin on my mind but... Georgia
We ain't playin witcha

I'm from the home of the neck bones, black eyed peas, turnip and collard greens
We the children on the corn dirtier than Bob Marley's pee pee
GA the peach state where we stay
My small city's called Albany... Georgia
Pecan country like catfish with grits
Candy yams and chitlins
Gram's homemade baked biscuits
The land of classical Caprices and Impala super sports
Ingredients in the peach cobbler called... Georgia
I love the women out in L.A.
And the shopping stores in New York
The beaches in MIA
But they ain't nothin like that GA red clay
Look on your map, we right above Florida
Next to 'Bama
Under the Carolinas and Tennessee you'll see... Georgia
Where Gladys Knights and the Midnight Train
The birthplace of Martin Luther King
Where ass so plump and hips are thick
Where Lac trucks sit on 26's
Know where your going or your get lost
Found on these plum trees in the south
These choppas will tomahawk your top down here in... Georgia

[Chorus 2x]
We on the grind in... Georgia
All the time, it ain't
Nothin on my mind but... Georgia
We ain't playin witcha

Now I was born in the belly of the bottom of the map,
Where the wet paint drip jelly on pirellis an the chrome on the Chevy when I'm choppin in the trap
Country as hell, they sum warriors, told sum to spray somethin the same shape as Florida,
Lookin for me boy, ya find me, outta Dougherty County in a small city called Albany... Georgia
Where dey use to call us sum bamas,
An now they jockin the grammar
Watch ya mouth unless you out foe sum manner,
Bunch of hustlas run on every corner like the Waffle house in Atlanta
R.I.P Camoflauge out in Savannah... Georgia
Now u might come foe vacation,
Leave on probation
Home of the strip club,
Known for the thick girls
Where the chicks put tips in the tip cup,
Of thick chick in a thong wit a big butt
When it gettin on, won't b cheap when it on like peach tree,
Make a chick take it off like freaknik, down here in... Georgia
When you see them confederate flags ya know what it is,
Ya folks pick cotton here thats y we call it the field
I got a Chevrolet on 26'zzz,
I'm from GA.. .GA... Georgia

[Chorus 2x]
We on the grind in... Georgia
All the time, it ain't
Nothin on my mind but... Georgia
We ain't playin witcha

it sounds much better than it reads

you should also check out the string quartet tribute to Atreyu, it sounds quite nice!

Here's another song!
It's from a catalonian heavy metal band called "Sangtraït" (Bruise, in english) from their cd "Contes i llegendes" (1993).
I think that the lyrics maybe have a hidden message... think it for yourself
I've translated them, but some expressions in my language are very difficult to change to english, therefore, I searched another similar expressions

El País de Mandorcórovi ~ Sangtraït (The Land of Mandorcórovi)

Un món imaginari on som menys que les bèsties, (An imaginary world, where we are less than the beasts)
on van sobre Unicornis verges i dimonis, (when virgins and demons ride unicorns)
buscant sota les pedres un tio que les torni boges, (they are looking for under the stones a guy who turn on them mad)
servint, fins que s'els mori, d'esclau eròtic. (being useful, till his death, an erotic slave)

Ès un món, ja saps, que no existeix, (In a world that don't exists, do you know,)
on les dones van buscant els carrers. (where women are looking for the streets )

Tinc por que em trobin fugint de les seves flexes, (I am afraid that they found me scaping from their arrows)
cridant com si fosin verges i dimonís. (shouting like virgins and demons)

Vigila les dones surten a caçar. (Beware! Women are on hunting!)
Vigila, que potser tu cauràs. (Beware! They can catch you)

Un món on per las dones tu ets peix dins un aquari (A world where for women you are a fish into an aquarium)
flotant entre dues aigües. Verges i dimonís. (floating between two waters. Virgins and demons)
Pescant amb xarxa oberta un peix que els doni guerra, (Fishing with an open net a warrior fish)
servint fins que s'els ofegui d'esclau eròtic. (being useful, till his drowning, an erotic slave)

Estic vivint l'ultim moment, (I'm living the last moment)
estic caien, ja soc un mes (I'm drowning, I'm another one)
corrent pel món, com els conills... (Running through the world, like a rabbit)

here is one for you from one of my favorite bands of all time In Flames


"Evil in a closet" from the album "Soundtrack to your escape" (2004)

We were one in words
you finished my sentence
the answer to my puzzle
i can never attract tomorrow
it pushes me aside

I sink in waters deep
your presence kept me floating
far from depths where secrects lie
maybe in another lifetime
i could be the first you you meet

I once read a poem
held my breath
but thats moment's gone
first time i felt life somewhat hurts
need an option and some hope

YELL AT ME I WANT TO BE YOUR LIGHT THAT SHINES
BUT MY GROUNDS SHAKING AND I MIGHT FALL
I WISH THAT I COULD SAY...
I WISH THAT I COULD BE YOUR EVIL IN A CLOSET

In the past, sites that post lyrics to other peoples songs have been court-ordered to shutdown. Just thought you all should know that you may (or may not) be breaking the law.

Here is a list of songs i have found to be inspiring to me. I have several songs so i'll just post links to all of them except the very important ones. First important one The Human Stain by Kamelot. Video can be found here

[I see the cemetery sky
carmine red and deep
watch the oceans rising high
its the human stain]

talk about the growing hunger
ask why with deep concern
don't you think
the human is ceaselessly vain

but it hurts to be alive my friend
in this silent tide we're driftwood passing by
don't you wish you were a child again
just for a minute
just for a minute more

hear the ticking of a clock
the sound of life itself
no one really wants to die
to save the world

tell me that you're torn asunder
from how we fail to learn
and tell me

as the earth goes under
where's your anger now

so it hurts to be alive my friend
in this masquerade were all one day must die
don't you wish you were unborn again
just for a minute
just a minute more

tic toc
the ticking that could tear asunder
the beating from a heart of stone
the loss of your divine prosperity

cause it costs to be alive my friend
and this life that someone merely gave to you
that's the price you pay
minute by minute
you beg for a minute more

Second song is one love-Bob Marley

One Love! One Heart!
Let's get together and feel all right.
Hear the children cryin' (One Love!);
Hear the children cryin' (One Heart!),
Sayin': give thanks and praise to the Lord and I will feel all right;
Sayin': let's get together and feel all right. Wo wo-wo wo-wo!

Let them all pass all their dirty remarks (One Love!);
There is one question I'd really love to ask (One Heart!):
Is there a place for the hopeless sinner,
Who has hurt all mankind just to save his own beliefs?

One Love! What about the one heart? One Heart!
What about - people? Let's get together and feel all right
As it was in the beginning (One Love!);
So shall it be in the end (One Heart!),
All right!
Give thanks and praise to the Lord and I will feel all right;
Let's get together and feel all right.
One more thing!

Let's get together to fight this Holy Armagiddyon (One Love!),
So when the Man comes there will be no, no doom (One Song!).
Have pity on those whose chances grows t'inner;
There ain't no hiding place from the Father of Creation.

Sayin': One Love! What about the One Heart? (One Heart!)
What about the - ? Let's get together and feel all right.
I'm pleadin' to mankind! (One Love!);
Oh, Lord! (One Heart) Wo-ooh!

Give thanks and praise to the Lord and I will feel all right;
Let's get together and feel all right.
Give thanks and praise to the Lord and I will feel all right;
Let's get together and feel all right.
Next is Hours Passed In Exile-Dark Tranquillity
Lost To Apathy-also DT.
not exactally as deep as my other songs but one I love none the less March Of Mephisto-Kamelot, video here Warning video is labled Uncut and features blood in some scenes you have been warned.
I listen to most types of music but I'm mainly a metal head. I chose to put Bob Marley here because his music was instrumental to who I am today and there is a chance I may not have been alive here today had I not dicovered this great mans music. Music today is very much a part of what I am, music is part of my soul and I listen to it every where I go. Listening to music has helped me get through tough times in my life. Where the peace and love of Bob Marley got me through some hard times, sometimes anger can be a good way to cope. When I needed anger to cope with my situation this song and another one helped me. The Bleeding-Five Finger Death Punch Lyrics here. The other song is very violent and full of cussing so I'll leave you to look for it at your own discression it's called Meet The Monster also from Five Finger DP.

That is my list of songs I found to be great hope you liked them too. Sorry for such a long list and a wall of text but this is a topic I feel strongly about.
Edit:Links didn't work right so I guess I'll leave you to search on your own. You can youtube any of those to find videos if there are any and I look up my lyrics at http://www.sing365.com/

Sorry for double post but...Woah really? You wouldn't know by how many are out there.

Yeah, you may have heard about the music industries attempt to make the posting of lyrics of artists illegal. They failed miserably though and only those who advertise (make money) and didn't offer the artists albums or a link to somewhere they could be bought were ordered to shut down. It was ruled that individuals posting song lyrics for discussion and/or free for all fan sites were not illegal.

Just for the attempt at squashing all lyrics posting, I throw up my finger at the music industry and offer these lyrics to them and all that agree with them on this issue.

Biohazard - Business - Album: Urban Discipline


I'm fed up, I've had it up to here
Tell me what is good for me and my career
F*** you and your selfish advice
You've never been loyal to the same thing twice
In your sheltered little lives, you don't know the scene
Doing as you're told, puppets of the big machine
Changing faces, revolving door hypocrisy
Who do you work for now, yeah, I see

[Chorus I:]

Music's for you and me
Not the f***ing industry
You f***ing tell us what is cool
You see we come from different schools

You got no crowd but you got a big push
Kissing asses till your pride turns into mush
You might change your style for the record company
Fingers down your throat, you heave your integrity

You're weak, give it up, throw the towel and the flag in
And get your pussy ass of the motherf***in' bandwagon
Never for a minute were you real in the first place
So far up someone's ass you got s*** on your face

[Chorus 2:]

Music's for you and me
Not the f***ing industry
You f***ing tell us what is cool
You see we come from different schools
To us it matters what you say
Not the f***ing games you play
You're full of s***, it's plain to see
The whole damn f***ing industry

Spoken:(This song is going out to all the dishonest
motherf***ers in this business who prosecute creative
people for their own personal gain. Who's positions are
not expendable? You think your a step above?
Don't forget you work for us.)

If you think for a minute this song's about you
Step the f*** back, cuz it's probably true
The message in the music is the reason that we're in this
That's what matters to us, not business
Music is for you and me, not the f***ing industry
Try to tell us what is cool, we come from different schools
It only matters what you say, not the f***in' games you play
Bulls*** is plain to see, the whole damn f***in' industry

[Chorus 2]

I'm quite sure that most musicians feel the same way these guys do and they would never prosecute their fans for spreading their message (not the music, just the message contained in it) and anyone fake enough to do so will never be found on my play list.

If I didn't already give you kudos I would have right there. Good song imma go download it (legally) and damn good point you make.
Edit:Just to make myself clear i down't download music illegally period. Hell in fact there is a site that lets you choose what price you want to pay for a CD and I bought Kamelot's Ghost Opera and Karma for $60 each. (yes I love that band that much)

My favorite song is Losing Hope, by Jack Johnson. I love it like I love few other things in this world.

-------------------------------------

I got a faulty parachute
I got a stranger's friend
An exciting change in
My butchers blend
A symbol on the ceiling
With the flick of a switch
My new found hero
In the enemy's ditching

Well somebody's something was left in the room
And man now that its gone well of course we assume
That somebody else needed something so bad
That they took everything that somebody had

Losing hope is easy
When your only friend is gone
And every time you look around
Well, it all, it all just seems to change

The mark was left
Man it's never the same
Next time that you shoot
Make sure that you aim
Open windows with passing cars
A brand new night
With the same old stars

Losing hope is easy
When your only friend is gone
And every time you look around
Well, it all, it all just seems to change

Feed the fool
A piece of the pie
Make a fool of his system
Make a fool of his mind
Give him bottles of lies
And maybe he'll find
His place in heaven
Cause he might just die

Losing hope is easy
When your only friend is gone
And every time you look around
Well, it all, it all just seems to change
But hanging on is easy
When you've got a friend to call
When nothings making sense at all
You're not the only one who's afraid of change

Enjoy

Some times in order to let go of your anger you need to release some of it and here is a great song that's all about rage.

Five Finger Death Punch (FFDP)

[V1:]
It's not that complicated and you ain't gotta believe
They'll put me down in a hole before I let you succeed
I've never been complacent, I can't afford to be
I know you think you're special but you ain't nothin'

[Pre-Chorus:]
Can you read between the lines?
Or are you stuck in black and white?
Hope I'm on the list of people that you hate
It's time you met the monster that you have helped create
Boo!

[Chorus:]
You've pushed me one too many times
I'm sick of all of the fiction, we're gonna settle it
You've pushed me one too many times
I'm sick of all of the sh*t, I'm gonna settle it!

[V2:]
It's not that complicated and you ain't gotta believe
They'll put me down in a hole before I let you succeed
I've never been complacent, I can't afford to be
I know you think you're special but you ain't nothin'

[Pre-Chorus:]
Well there's nothing you can say to me now
And there's nothing you can do to stop me
It's hard not to be a menace to society
When half the population is happy on their knees

[Chorus:]
You've pushed me one too many times
I'm sick of all of the fiction, we're gonna settle it
You've pushed me one too many times
I'm sick of all of the sh*t, I'm here settle it!

[V3:]
'Cause I can't take it anymore
I refuse to live this way
It's not that I don't care enough, it's not that I can't see
It's everything inside of me that won't let me be you
It won't let me be you!

[V4:]
It's not that complicated and you ain't gotta believe
They'll put me down in a hole before I let you succeed
I've never been complacent, I can't afford to be
I know you think you're special but you ain't nothin'
No, you ain't nothin'
And you'll never succeed
I know you think you're special,
but you ain't nothin'

But you ain't nothin'!

I want to know you!
I want to show you!
I want to hold you,
Inside of me

I want to see you!
I want to free you!
I want to feel you,
Inside of me
Words by Alvin Lee
Tens years After

@Septim741 - Good tune, the tempo and melody reminds me of Who Will Save Your Soul
by Jewel.

She, incidentally IMHO is one the best vocalists ever. To me she's like the female Eddie Veder (Pearl Jam) and if you have ever seen either of them perform live you'll know what I mean. Channeling that much emotion into your singing must be an exhilarating exhaustion. I think I would call her a true siren because something about her voice is so beautiful to me that I find it very hard not to fall in love with it... It' so sexy. Have you ever heard Gweneth Paltrow sing? If you've never seen Duets, check it out, it's a must see. Shame she doesn't perform. Blonde, tall and skinny ain't my thing but she's still the sexiest woman alive(to me at least).

@dezdimona -I've read your topics and you may just give Gweneth a run for her money, I won't tell ya how sexy I think you are. whoops i just did

@Blacksnake89 - FFDP, new to me, Checked out some of their live stuff too, and they can certainly perform so I might just have to go see'em if come out Atlanta way.

Nothing can take the place of a live performance, especially for hardcore underground like this. That is why many underground groups never make it because part of the music is the atmosphere and that just doesn't translate from the club to a CD.

I've been an avid concert goer for almost as long as I can remember, went to my first concert at the age of 5. It was an all ages 3 night rock festival in Miami, Fl in 1980, but I was only interested in seeing my idol (yes i had a music hero at 5), Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band. I sat front row center stage a top my mother's shoulders for his entire performance and when he played my favorite song, Turn The Page my exuberance earned me a back stage invite and i got to meet and talk with Bob Seger. Over the years I have enjoyed many shows but the two that stand out the most are Peter Frampton in 1989 at the Boathouse in Norfolk, Va and a suprise Black Sabbath reunion at OzFest(WestPalmBeach, FL) in 1995. Best concert ever.

A tribute to all the performers that have entertained me over the years best expressed by the man that got me going.

Bob Seger - Turn The Page

On a long and lonesome highway, east of Omaha.
You can listen to the engine moaning out its one lone song
You can think about woman, or the girl you knew the night before,
But your thoughts will soon be wandering, the way they always do.
When your riding sixteen hours and there's nothing much to do
And you don't feel much like riding, you just wish the trip was through.

Say, here I am, on the road again. there I am, up on the stage.
Here I go, playing star again.
There I go, turn the page.

Well you walk into a restaurant, strung out from the road,
You can feel the eyes upon you as your shaking off the cold
You pretend it doesn't bother you, but you just want to explode.
Most times you can't hear 'em talk, other times you can.
On the same old cliche, is that a woman or a man
You always seem out numbered, you don't dare make a stand.

Here I am, on the road again. there I am, up on the stage.
Here I go, playing star again.
There I go, turn the page.

Out there in the spotlight your a million miles away,
Every ounce of energy, you try and give away,
As the sweat pours out your body like the music that you play.
Later in the evening as you lie awake in bed,
With the echo from the amplifiers ringing in your head,
You smoke the days last cigarette, remembering what she said.

Now here I am, on the road again. there I am, up on the stage.
Here I go, playing star again.
There I go, turn the page.
Here I am, on the road again. there I am, up on the stage.
Ah here I go, playing star again.
There I go, there I go.

Thankyou worm82075, you honor me with your words.

One of my favourite folk-ish songs to play, "Willow's Song" of The Wicker Man fame. Well, I never play folk stuff so it's probably about the only tune. Anyway, the song gets a very sexy interpretation in the film complete with ass-slapping and emphasis on the "please come". The last two lines are very

"Willow's Song" by Paul Giovanni w/lyrics by Robert Burns

Heigh ho! Who is there?
No one but me, my dear.
Please come say, How do?
The things I'll give to you.
By stroke as gentle as a feather
I'll catch a rainbow from the sky
And tie the ends together.
Heigh ho! I am here
Am I not young and fair?
Please come say, How do?
The things I'll show to you.
Would you have a wond'rous sight
The midday sun at midnight?
Fair maid, white and red,
Comb you smooth and stroke your head
How a maid can milk a bull
And every stroke a bucketful

This song's been at the back of my mind for a few years I just heard it on a youtube video and remembered it

Rapture by Hurt

In the life of the wrong a love lingered on,
Love lingered on to frustration.
And if our love is so wrong, what should we do alone?
Or am I just a picture in a photograph?
Why are we stuck in this pantomime fearing a god who died?
One who would not deny lovers?
And I don't care what they say, if what you need is your faith,
Then take a look at my face and know

That till your rapture falls to pieces
Until your rapture falls to pieces
Find in me the room to breathe,
Simple things like suffering
Life had gone this way
Life is gone this way

Still in the life of the wrong we all moved along
Another life evolved to gestation
And so we made our way with the mistake we made
But she was just a picture from a photograph

So she walked in the baby's room
Knowing what she should do leave me in
Absolute horror
She put her hand on its lip she gave it
One last kiss
And sang some tune that went

Until your rapture falls to pieces
Till your rapture falls to pieces
Find in me the room to breathe,
Simple things are suffering

And I would and I would, destroy your god
Yes I would if I could destroy your god
Because you're born again
Until you're worn again,

Until your rapture falls to pieces
Till your rapture falls to pieces
Find in me the room to breathe,
Sinful things like suffering
Till your rapture falls to pieces
Till your rapture falls to pieces

But, if this must be, then burn with me
Anything
Just don't leave
So find in me the room to breathe
Sinful things like suffering
Till your rapture falls to pieces

She swore she heard the voice of Jesus
Telling her it was wrong to keep it
And one more thing, it looked like me
Back when it breathed
Rest in peace
Until the rapture comes to meet us

It has a music video


Here is one I just found today but I think is a great song

All Fall Down by One Republic

Step out the door and it feels like rain
That's the sound, that's the sound on your window pane
Take to the streets but you can't ignore
That's the sound, that's the sound you're waiting for

If ever your world starts crashing down
Whenever your world starts crashing down
Whenever your world starts crashing down
That's where you'll find me

Yeah, God loves your soul and your aching bones
Take a breath, take a step, meet me down below
Everyone's the same, our fingers to our toes
We just can't get a ride, but we're on the road

If ever your world starts crashing down
Whenever your world starts crashing down
Whenever your world starts crashing down
That's where you'll find me

Lost 'till you're found
Swim 'till you drown
Know that we all fall down
Love 'till you hate
Strong 'till you break
Know that we all fall down

If ever your world starts crashing down
Whenever your world starts crashing down
If ever your world starts crashing down
That's where you'll find, find me

Lost 'till you're found
Swim 'till you drown
Know that we all fall down
Love 'till you hate
Strong 'till you break
Know that we all fall down

All fall down, we all fall down
All fall down, we all fall down
We all fall down, all fall down

Lost 'till you're found
Swim 'till you drown
Know that we all fall down
Love 'till you hate
Strong 'till you break
Know that we all fall down


This song has inspired me to change my sig say goodbye to final resitance. ( for now at least lol)

@Worm82: So you liked FFDP huh? I've seen them live at Biloxi Mississippi Coast Coliseum in 07. One of the best shows I've seen although I've only been to 3 live shows though, I'm looking forward to seeing Kamelot this october 24 in portland. I'd go all the way to Europe to see them if I had to but no it's like BAM they'll right in my own backyard. I love intruducing people to new music and spreading bands names around.

Good tune, the video reminds me of a cross between Tool and Pink Floyd's The Wall.




Yeah, I love classical instruments in modern music.




Wow, got lucky on that one huh? Yeah, I like them. Back in the day I used to vent my anger and frustrations with Pantera, unfortunately Dime Bag is dead and Philup Alsemo could never perform their songs live(he is the Stephen Tyler of metal. ) but their first two albums got me through some trying teenage years none the less.

Pantera - F*****g Hostile - Vulgar Display of Power

Almost every day
I see the same face
On broken picture tube
It fits the attitude
If you could see yourself
You put you on a shelf
Your verbal masturbate
Promise to nauseate
Today I'll play the part of non-parent
Not make a hundred rules
For you to know about yourself
Not lie and make you believe
What's evil is making love
and making friends
and meeting God you're own way
The right way

(Chorus)
To see
To bleed
Cannot be taught
In turn
You're making us
F*****g hostile

We stand alone

The truth in right and wrong
The boundaries of the law
You seem to miss the point
Arresting for a joint?
You seem to wonder why
Hundreds of people die
You're writing tickets man
My mom got jumped -- they ran!
Now I'll play a public servant
To serve and protect
By the law and the state
I'd bust the punks
That rape steal and murder
And leave you be
If you crossed me
I'd shake your hand like a man
Not a god

(Chorus)

Come meet your maker, boy
Some things you can't enjoy
Because of heaven/hell
A f*****g wives' tale
They put it in your head
Then put you in your bed
He's watching say your prayers
Cause God is everywhere
Now I'll play a man learning priesthood
Who's about to take the ultimate test in life
I'd question things because I am human
And call NO ONE my father who's no closer that a stranger

I won't listen

(Chorus)

And now for something completely different.
Since I took a shot at Aerosmith I think i should share their most meaningful song(to me anyway)

Aerosmith - Dream On

Every time that I look in the mirror
All these lines in my face gettin' clearer
The past is gone
It went by like dusk to dawn
Isn't that the way
Everybody's got their dues in life to pay

Yeah, I know nobody knows
Where it comes and where it goes
I know it's everybody's sin
You got to lose to know how to win

Half my life's in books' written pages
Live and learn from fools and from sages
You know it's true
All the things
Come back to you

Sing with me
Sing for the year
Sing for the laughter and sing for the tear
Sing it with me
If it's just for today
Maybe tomorrow, the good Lord will take you away

Sing with me
Sing for the year
Sing for the laughter and sing for the tear
Sing it with me
If it's just for today
Maybe tomorrow, the good Lord will take you away

Dream on, dream on, dream on
Dream yourself a dream come true
Dream on, dream on, dream on
Dream until your dream comes through
Dream on, dream on, dream on, dream on
Dream on, dream on, dream on, ahh

Sing with me
Sing for the year
Sing for the laughter and sing for the tear
Sing it with me
If it's just for today
Maybe tomorrow, the good Lord will take you away

Sing with me
Sing for the year
Sing for the laughter and sing for the tear
Sing it with me
If it's just for today
Maybe tomorrow, the good Lord will take you away

Everywhere is freaks and hairies
Dykes and fairies, tell me where is sanity
Tax the rich, feed the poor
Till there are no rich no more

I'd love to change the world
But I don't know what to do
So I'll leave it up to you


Population keeps on breeding
Nation bleeding, still more feeding economy
Life is funny, skies are sunny
Bees make honey, who needs money, No more for me

I'd love to change the world
But I don't know what to do
So I'll leave it up to you

o yah

World pollution, there's no solution
Institution, electrocution
Just black and white, rich or poor
Senators stop the war


I'd love to change the world
But I don't know what to do
So I'll leave it up to you


Alvin Lee & Ten Years After...still applies over 30 years later!

Todd Rundgren may be one of the top ten ugliest men in rock-n-roll, but he's also in the top ten most talented (in my book).
This one is both poignant and haunting.

From his album A Capella

Honest Work

I'm not afraid to bend my back
I'm not afraid of dirt
But how I fear the things I do
For lack of honest work
My family is lost to me
They could not bear the hurt
To see the state their boy is in
For lack of honest work

I hold no blame for anyone
'Twas I who did arrange
To pay my union dues so I'd
Not have to learn or change
And when I was replaced, 'twas I
Who started down the hill
And drank away my savings 'til
I couldn't stop myself

The prophets of a brave new world
Captains of industry
Have visions grand and great designs
But none have room for me
They see a world where everyone
Is rich and smart and young
But if I live to see such things
Too late for me they come

I know I'm not the only one
To fall beneath the wheel
Such company can not assuage
The loneliness I feel
So many are resigned to be
Society's debris
But I will be remembered for
The life life took from me

For I'm not afraid to bend my back
I'm not afraid of dirt
But how I fear the things I do
For lack of honest work

Live performance of it can be viewed here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RuCOXtDfmBM

Pressed rat and warthog have closed down their shop.
They didnt want to; twas all they had got.
Selling atonal apples, amplified heat,
And pressed rats collection of dog legs and feet.

Sadly they left, telling no one goodbye.
Pressed rat wore red jodhpurs, warthog a striped tie.
Between them, they carried a three-legged sack,
Went straight round the corner and never came back.

Pressed rat and warthog have closed down their shop.
The bad captain madman had told them to stop
Selling atonal apples, amplified heat,
And pressed rats collection of dog legs and feet.

The bad captain madman had ordered their fate.
He laughed and stomped off with a nautical gate.
The gate turned into a deroga tree
And his pegleg got woodworm and broke into three.

Pressed rat and warthog have closed down their shop.
They didnt want to; twas all they had got.
Selling atonal apples, amplified heat,
And pressed rats collection of dog legs and feet.

Cream

That was indeed a soulful a cappella performance. It reminds me a very old tune popularized in the move Brother Where Art Thou?

Man Of Constant Sorrow - Make no mistake, this song was written in the early 20's and the author is an unknown. It has been performed by many a man from Jerry Garcia to Bob Dylan to Rod Stewart but IMHO no one does it better than Ralph Stanley although I do enjoy the Stanley Brothers version as well (still Ralph singing it but it's fully accompanied)- Fair warning though, this is bluegrass.

I am a man of constant sorrow
I've seen trouble all my days
I bid farewell to old Kentucky
The place where I was borned and raised

For six long years I've been in trouble
No pleasure here on earth I find
For in this world I'm bound to ramble
I have no friends to help me now

It's fare thee well my own true lover
I never expect to see you again
For I'm bound to ride that northern railroad
Perhaps I'll die upon this train

You can bury me in some deep valley
For many years where I may lay
Then you may learn to love another
While I am sleeping in my grave

Maybe your friends think I'm just a stranger
My face you'll never will see no more
But there is one promise that is given
I'll meet you on God's golden shore




Your really bringing out the classics Dez, and I love it.

she's got a smile that it seems to me
Reminds me of childhood memories
Where everything
Was as fresh as the bright blue sky
Now and then when i see her face
She takes me away to that special place
And if i stared too long
I'd probably break down and cry


Sweet child o' mine
Sweet love of mine


She's got eyes of the bluest skies
As if they thought of rain
I hate to look into those eyes
And see an ounce of pain
Her hair reminds me of a warm safe place
Where as a child i'd hide
And pray for the thunder
And the rain
To quietly pass me by


Sweet child o' mine
Sweet love of mine


Where do we go
Where do we go now
Where do we go
Sweet child o' mine

She's got a smile that it seems to me
Reminds me of childhood memories
Where evrything
Was as fresh as the bright blue sky
Now and then when i see her face
She takes me away to that special place
And if i stared too long
I'd probably break down and cry


Sweet child o' mine
Sweet love of mine


She's got eyes of the bluest skies
As if they thought of rain
I hate to look into those eyes
And see an ounce of pain
Her hair reminds me of a warm safe place
Where as a child i'd hide
And pray for the thunder
And the rain
To quietly pass me by


Sweet child o' mine
Sweet love of mine


Where do we go
Where do we go now
Where do we go
Sweet child o' mine

Had to add this one,one of my favorites!!!
GNR

Mirror mirror,
How far will I go?
Despite the foundation,
I am falling.
Sweet reflection,
Will you save a place for me?

Where am I heading?
Could you grant me a haven?
For what I am punished,
Could I ever repent?

Mother Nature, I’m wide open,
Waiting for you to move me.

Don’t keep it from me!
This is the free fall!
This is the free fall!

I never seem to understand.
The time, the place, and who I am.
Define a way to stay alive,
It’s like I’m living a lie.

Father time, every time I stop and feel,
You’re there to tell me I’m already late.
Don’t keep it from me!
This is the free fall!

I never seem to understand.
The time, the place, and who I am.
It’s like I’m living a lie.

I never seem to understand.
The time, the place, and who I am.
Define a way to stay alive,
It’s like I’m living a lie.

I never seem to understand.
The time, the place, and who I am.
Define a way to stay alive,
It’s like I’m living a lie.

In Flames - Free Fall, just a personal favourite.

Here's a band that reminds me of seether Theory of a Dead Man.
This song is so happy

Put the bottle down, finally got somethin' to say
Take another look around and find someone else to play
(Needless to say) That you've got problems
(There's no f**kin' way) that I'm gonna solve them
(It's never the same) Every time you slip, then you fall down, down, down

Ever wonder what I been thinkin' about ?
I been thinkin' bout throwin' you out

I'm so happy about you (I'm fed up, so get up and get out)
I'm so happy now we're through (I'm fed up, so get up and get out)
I was so afraid, now you're gone away
Sent you packing, look who's laughin' now
I'm so happy that I feel this way
I'm so happy that I threw you away

Put your problems down and pick up what's left of the pain
Take a good look at yourself and see who's really to blame
(Needless to say) You got issues
(There's no f**kin' way) That I'm gonna fix you
(It's never the same) Ever since you went fallin' down, down, down

Ever wonder what i been thinkin' about ?
I been thinkin' bout throwin' you out

I'm so happy about you (I'm fed up, so get up and get out)
I'm so happy now we're through (I'm fed up, so get up and get out)
I was so afraid, now you're gone away
Sent you packing, look who's laughin' now
I'm so happy that I feel this way
I'm so happy that I threw you away

I'm so happy about you (I'm fed up, so get up and get out)
I'm so happy now we're through (I'm fed up, so get up and get out)
I was so afraid, now you're gone away
Sent you packing, look who's laughin' now
I'm so happy that I feel this way
I'm so happy that I threw you away


Next up Santa Monica same band
She fills my bed with gasoline
You think I woulda noticed
Her mind's made up
Her love is gone
I think someone's trying to show us a sign
That even if we thought it would last
The moment would pass
My bones will break and my heart would give
Oh, it hurts to live

And I remember the day when you left for Santa Monica
You left me to remain with all your excuses for everything
And I remember the time when you left for Santa Monica
And I remember the day you told me it's over

It hurts to breathe
Well every time that you're not next to me
Her mind's made up
The girl is gone
And now I'm forced to see
I think I'm on my way
Oh, it hurts to live today
Oh and she says "Don't you wish you were dead like me?"

And I remember the day when you left for Santa Monica
You left me to remain with all your excuses for everything
And I remember the time when you left for Santa Monica
And I remember the day you told me it's over

I wanted more than this
I needed more than this
I deserve more than this
But it just won't stop
It just won't go away

I needed more than this
I wanted more than this
I asked for more than this
But it just won't stop
It just won't go away

And I remember the day when you left for Santa Monica
You left me to remain with all your excuses for everything
And I remember the time when you left it all behind
And I remember the day you told me it's over

And I remember the day when you left for Santa Monica
You left me to remain with all your excuses for everything
And I remember the time when you left for Santa Monica
Yeah, I remember the day you told me it's over


I've heard this band puts on good shows but I've never seen them Here's Slipknot

Psycosocial
I did my time, and I want out
I saw my future, fade
It doesn't cut,
The soul is not so vibrant
The reckoning, the sickening
Back at you, subversion
Pseudo-psychic sacred version
Go drill your gasses
Go dig your grave
Then fill your mouth
With all the money you will save
Sinking in, getting smaller again
I'm done, it has begun
I'm not the only one

And the rain will kill us all,
Throw ourselves against the wall
But no one else can see,
The preservation of the martyr in me

Psychosocial, psychosocial, psychosocial
Psychosocial, psychosocial, psychosocial

There are cracks in the road we lay
But they ever fill?
The secrets have gone mad!
This is nothing new,
But would we kill it all?
Fate was all we had
Who needs another mess?
We could start over
Just look me in the eyes
And say I'm wrong
Now there's only emptiness,
But a message to bring
I think we're done,
I'm not the only one!

And the rain will kill us all,
Throw ourselves against the wall
But no one else can see,
The preservation of the martyr in me

Psychosocial, psychosocial, psychosocial
Psychosocial, psychosocial, psychosocial

Fate can not catch this lie,
I tried to tell you first
Your hurtful lies are giving out
Can't stop the killing, I can't help it
Is there something sacred?
Is this what you want?
I'm not the only one!

And the rain will kill us all,
Throw ourselves against the wall
But no one else can see,
The preservation of the martyr in me

Psychosocial, psychosocial, psychosocial
Psychosocial, psychosocial, psychosocial

I love their visual style specifically how they wear matching jump suits and the masks.

^Wow Great song I haven't heard in a while!


...
Song Title: OH WELL
Artist: can't say who it is, because it's not who you'll think it is.


Can't help it 'bout the shape I'm in
I can't sing, I ain't pretty and my legs are thin
Don't ask me what I think of you
I might not give the answer that you want me to

Oh well

Now, when I talked to God I knew he'd understand
He said, stick by me and I'll be your guiding hand
But dont ask me what I think of you
I might not give the answer that you want me to

Oh well




(yay)

Baby wont you let me rockn roll you
Baby wont you let me, let me stroll you
Baby wont you let me rockn roll you now

Baby wont you let me, let me shake you
Baby wont you let me, let me break you
Baby wont you let me really take you now

Well, you remember baby, how it used to be
I used to rockn roll you around my knee
Well, I tell you, honey, gonna be alright
Gonna rockn roll you all through the night

Baby wont you let me, let me shake you
Baby wont you let me, let me break you
Baby wont you let me really take you now

I tell you baby, gonna be alright
Im gonna rock you all through the night
Well, you remember how it used to be

"��沒�"

Verse 1:
From the motions & potions & comotions I've been running from.
None of this reality & chastity will stop me from what I've done.

Chorus:
Can you feel the anger, can you feel the rage.
All through life I'm blindfolded, trapped inside a cage.
I'm running out of patience, running out of prayer.
The violence that you tought me, I never felt was fair.

Verse 2:
All the silence & violence & the crying has seemed to change.
All the youthless & ruthless & the unions finally seem deranged.

Chorus:
Can you really blame me, I'm afraid of all this change.
Do you think you own me, you're driving me insane.
I am running out of breath now, please don't let me die.
Even though you loath me, I'm still gonna see you cry.

Verse 3:
Let go all this pressure & tension & suspension which your holding me.
What I embarked on has darkened & shadowed me to death.

Chorus:
You cannot really help me, you've done everything you can.
I'm stretched upon the cross now, the poo has hit the fan.
Don't you even love me, I've been faithful everyday.
Betrayal now your motive, but soon you'll have to pay.

Why don't you even listen, why don't you even care.
The murder which you've commited, will put you in the chair.

SCREAM!!!!!

Song by Cream

Premeditation will kill the trust
They'll never know if you fear me
With every second collecting dust
I feel so bloated and weary
'Cause she belongs to heaven

She's coming over like a suicide
And it's the same old trip, the same old trip as before
Another complicating suicide
And it's the same old trip, the same old trip. *AS BEFORE!*

She'll cut you down with a single thrust
She's taking over too quickly
No medication can cure the lust
So say a prayer for the sickly
'Cause she belongs to heaven

She's coming over like a suicide
And it's the same old trip, the same old trip as before
Another complicating suicide
And it's the same old trip, the same old trip. *AS BEFORE!**AS BEFORE!*

You set me up to f****** fail this time(x8)

She's coming over like a suicide
And it's the same old trip, the same old trip as before
Another overbearing suicide
And it's the same old trip, the same old trip

She's coming over wearing genocide
And it's the same old trip, the same old trip as before
Another complicating suicide
And it's the same old, the same old trip. *AS BEFORE!**AS BEFORE!*

~Seether - Like Suicide

"End of the Road" - me

Feeling alone and afraid
Don't know which way to turn
At the end of the road
There's no more time to burn

A lifetime spent
Everything came and went
Looking back
It all went so fast

So you'll just stay there
Lying in bed
Waiting for God
To send you on you'll way

Just stay there
Lying in bed
Waiting for God
You're out of friends


I think it could use some revision..But i think it's decent

Feels like the end
When youre closer to losing your dreams
Than losing a friend
Flying blind
Im shooting into the dark
Who will I find
Oh girl
And if it takes me a lifetime
I swear Ill tear down every wall
Love conquers all

On my way
Tomorrow I rise with the sun
Soon Ill be gone
Words cant say
How the memories of feelings of love
They linger on
Oh girl
And if it takes me forever
I know its worth every teardrop that falls
Love conquers all

Somewhere theres a place in your heart
Where the wounds never heal
Well youre not alone
Thats just how I feel

Love conquers all
This one will last a lifetime
And if love conquers all
This one will last forever

Love conquers all...Deep Purple

Worm, I love Bob Seger, thanks.

I can’t believe I’m posting this song (not my favorite) but when I read “poetry in motion” in your title it just popped in my head, I can’t help it.

Thomas Dolby She blinded me with science

It's poetry in motion
And when she turned her eyes to me
As deep as any ocean
As sweet as any harmony
She blinded me with science
And failed me in geometry

When she's dancing next to me
(Blinding me with science)
(Science)
Science
I can hear machinery
(Blinding me with science)
(Science)
Science

It's poetry in motion
And now she's making love to me
The spheres are in commotion
The elements in harmony
She blinded me with science
She blinded me with science
And hit me with technology

When I'm dancing close to her
Science
I can smell the chemicals
(Blinding me with science)
(Science)
Science

It's poetry in motion
And now she's making love to me
The spheres are in commotion
The elements in harmony
She blinded me with science
She blinded me with science
And hit me with technology

Good heavens, Miss Sakamoto
You're beautiful

I, I don't believe it
There she goes again
She's tidied up and I can't find anything
All my tubes and wires
And careful notes
And antiquated notions
But, it's poetry in motion
And when she turned her eyes to me
As deep as any ocean
As sweet as any harmony
Mmm, but she blinded me with science
She blinded me with science
She blinded me with

A silly song but I've always liked it, it's in my itunes folder.


Staind "It's Been A While" - a song that always hurts my heart.

It's been a while
Since I could hold my head up high
and it's been a while
Since I first saw you
It's been a while
since i could stand on my own two feet again
and it's been a while
since i could call you
But everything I can't remember as *ed up as it may seem
the consequences that I've rendered
I've stretched myself beyond my means

It's been a while
Since i could say that i wasn't addicted and
It's been a while
Since I could say I love myself as well and
It's been a while
Since I've gone and *ed things up just like i always do
It's been a while
But all that sh*t seems to disappear when I'm with you
But everything I can't remember as *ed up as it may seem
the consequences that I've rendered
I've gone and *ed things up again

Why must i feel this way?
just make this go away
just one more peaceful day

Its been awhile
Since I could look at myself straight
and it's been awhile
since i said I'm sorry
It's been awhile
Since I've seen the way the candles light your face
It's been awhile
But I can still remember just the way you taste
But everything I can't remember as *ed up as it may seem
I know it's me I cannot blame this on my father
he did the best he could for me

It's been a while
Since I could hold my head up high
and it's been a while since i said I'm sorry

So close, no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
and nothing else matters

Never opened myself this way
Life is ours, we live it our way
All these words I don't just say
and nothing else matters

Trust I seek and I find in you
Every day for us something new
Open mind for a different view
and nothing else matters

never cared for what they do
never cared for what they know
but I know

So close, no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
and nothing else matters

never cared for what they do
never cared for what they know
but I know

Never opened myself this way
Life is ours, we live it our way
All these words I don't just say

Trust I seek and I find in you
Every day for us, something new
Open mind for a different view
and nothing else matters

never cared for what they say
never cared for games they play
never cared for what they do
never cared for what they know
and I know

So close, no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
No, nothing else matters


metallica...nothing else matters

She said life's a lot to think about sometimes
When you're living between the lines
And all the stars they sparkle and shine everyday

He said life's so hard to move in sometimes
When it feels like I'm towin' the line
And no one even cares to ask me why I feel this way

I know you feel helpless now and I know you feel alone
That's the same road, the same road I am on

He said life's a lot to think about sometimes
When you keep it all between the lines
Of everything I want and I want to find, one of these days

What you thought was real in life somehow steered you wrong
Now you just keep drivin' tryin' to find out where you belong

I know you feel helpless now and I know you feel alone
That's the same road, that same road that I am on

What you thought was real in life somehow steered you wrong
Now you just keep drivin' tryin' to find out where you belong

I know you feel helpless now and I know you feel alone
That's the same road, that same road that I am on


THE ROAD I'M ON--3 Doors Down

I open my eyes
I try to see but I'm blinded by the white light
I can't remember how
I can't remember why
I'm lying here tonight

And I can't stand the pain
And I can't make it go away
No I can't stand the pain

Chorus:
How could this happen to me
I made my mistakes
Got no where to run
The night goes on
As I'm fading away
I'm sick of this life
I just wanna scream
How could this happen to me

Everybody's screaming
I try to make a sound but no one hears me
I'm slipping off the edge
I'm hanging by a thread
I wanna start this over again

So I try to hold onto a time when nothing mattered
And I can't explain what happened
And I can't erase the things that I've done
No I can't

How could this happen to me
I made my mistakes
Got no where to run
The night goes on
As I'm fading away
I'm sick of this life
I just wanna scream
How could this happen to me

I made my mistakes
Got no where to run
The night goes on
As I'm fading away
I'm sick of this life
I just wanna scream
How could this happen to me


Simple Plan - Untitled (how could this happen to me)

Lay beside me, tell me what they've done
Speak the words I wanna hear, to make my demons run
The door is locked now, but it's opened if you're true
If you can understand the me, then I can understand the you

Lay beside me, under wicked sky
Black of day, dark of night, we share this paralyze
The door cracks open, but there's no sun shining through
Black heart scarring darker still, but there's no sun shining through
No, there's no sun shining through
No, there's no sun shining

What I've felt, what I've known
Turn the pages, turn to stone
Behind the door, should I open it for you?

Yeah
What I've felt, what I've known
Sick and tired, I stand alone
Could you be there, 'cause I'm the one who waits for you
Or are you unforgiven too?

Come lay beside me, this won't hurt I swear
She loves me not, she loves me still, but she'll never love again
She lay beside me, but she'll be there when I'm gone
Black heart scarring darker still, but she'll be there when I'm gone
Yes she'll be there when I'm gone
Dead sure she'll be there

What I've felt, what I've known
Turn the pages, turn to stone
Behind the door, should I open it for you?

What I've felt, what I've known
Sick and tired, I stand alone
Could you be there, cause I'm the one who waits for you
Or are you unforgiven too?

Lay beside me, tell me what I've done
The door is closed, so are your eyes
But now I see the sun, now I see the sun
Yes, now I see it

What I've felt, what I've known
Turn the pages, turn to stone
Behind the door, should I open it for you

What I've felt, what I've known
So sick and tired, I stand alone
Could you be there, cause I'm the one who waits
The one who waits for you

Oh, what I've felt, what I've known
Turn the pages, turn to stone
Behind the door, should I open it for you

Oh, what I've felt
Oh, what I've known

I take this key
And I bury it in you
Because you're unforgiven too!

Never free
Never me
Because you're unforgiven too

Unforgiven II Metallica

Never again will I be dishonored
And never again will I be reminded
Of living within the world of the jaded
They kill inspiration
It's my obligation
To never again, allow this to happen
Where do I begin?
The choices are endless
Denying the sin
My art, my redemption
I carry the torch of my fathers before me

The thing I treasure most in life cannot be taken away
There will never be a reason why I will surrender to your advice
To change myself, I'd rather die
Though they will not understand
I won't make the greatest sacrifice
You can't predict where the outcome lies
You'll never take me alive
I'm alive
I'm alive
I'm alive

Change again, cannot be considered
I rage again, dispelling my anger
Where do I begin?
The choices are endless
My art, my redemption, my only salvation
I carry the gift that I have been blessed with
My soul is adrift in oceans of madness
Repairing the rift that you have created
I am not alone, brothers, give me your arms now

The thing I treasure most in life cannot be taken away
There will never be a reason why I will surrender to your advice
To change myself, I'd rather die
Though they will not understand
I won't make the greatest sacrifice
You can't predict where the outcome lies
You'll never take me alive

I'm no slave
Are you feeling brave?
Or have you gone out of your mind?
No more games
It won't feel the same
If I hold my anger inside
There's no meaning
My soul is bleeding
I've had enough of your kind
One suggestion, use your discretion
Before you label me blind

The thing I treasure most in life cannot be taken away
There will never be a reason why I will surrender to your advice
To change myself, I'd rather die
Though they will not understand
I won't make the greatest sacrifice
You can't predict where the outcome lies
You'll never take me alive
I'm alive
I'm alive
I'm alive
I'm alive
I'm alive
I'm alive
I'm alive
I'm alive

Disturbed - I'm Alive

The breath of the morning
I keep forgetting
The smell of the warm summer air

I live in a town
Where you can't smell a thing
You watch your feet
For cracks in the pavement

Up above
Aliens hover
Making home movies
For the folks back home

Of all these weird creatures
Who lock up their spirits
Drill holes in themselves
And live for their secrets

They're all uptight
Uptight.. (x7)

I wish that they'd swoop down in a country lane
Late at night when I'm driving
Take me on board their beautiful ship
Show me the world as I'd love to see it

I'd tell all my friends
But they'd never believe
They'd think that I'd finally lost it completely

I'd show them the stars
And the meaning of life
They'd shut me away
But I'd be all right
All right..

I'm just uptight
Uptight.. (x7)

Subterranean Homesick Alien - Radiohead

I see you had your mind all made up you group of
Pitiful liars. before I woke to face the day, your master
Plan transpired. -something told me- this job had more to
Meet the eye. my song is not believed? my words some-
What deceiving? now Im unwhole.
Youve waged a war of nerves
But you cant crush the kingdom
Cant be what your idols are. cant leave the scar.
You cry for compensation. I ask you please just give us...
5 minutes alone
I read your eyes, your mind was made up. you took me for
A fool. you used complexion of my skin for a counter
Rascist tool. -you cant burn me- Ive spilled my guts out
In the past. taken advantage of because you know where
Ive come [from]. my past.
Youve waged a war of nerves
But you cant crush the kingdom
Cant be what your idols are. cant leave the scar.
You cry for compensation. I ask you please just give us...
5 minutes alone

MADE OF SCARS by STONE SOUR

This One Came From Looking
This One Opened Twice
These Two Seem As Smooth As Silk, Flush Against My Eyes
This One Needed Stitches And
This One Came From Rings
This One Isn't Even There, But I Feel It More Because You Don't Care

Yeah, Cut Right Into Me
Yeah, Cause I Am Made Of Scars
Yes I Am Made Of Scars

This One Had It Coming
This One Found A Vein
This One Was An Accident, But Never Gave Me Pain
This One Was My Fathers And
This One You Can't See
This One Had Me Scared To Death,
But I Guess I Should Be Glad I'm Not Dead!!

Yeah, Cut Right Into Me
Yeah, I Am Made Of Scars
Yes, I Am Made Of Scars

God, Don't You Believe The Hype?

And I Will Find A Way
Everything You Are I Will Betray
Oh, I Swear That I Will Find A Way
Everything You Are's Inside Me

This One Was The First One
This One Had A Vice
This One Here I Like To Rub On Dark And Stormy Nights
This One Was The Last One,
I Don't Remember How
But I Remember Blood And Rain
And I Never Saw It Coming Again

Yeah, Cut Right Into Me
Yeah, Cause I Am Made Of Scars
Yes, I Am Made Of Scars

That's What I'm Made Of!!!

Lily, Rosemary And The Jack Of Hearts - Bob Dylan


The festival was over, the boys were all plannin' for a fall,
The cabaret was quiet except for the drillin' in the wall.
The curfew had been lifted and the gamblin' wheel shut down,
Anyone with any sense had already left town.
He was standin' in the doorway lookin' like the Jack of Hearts.

He moved across the mirrored room, "Set it up for everyone," he said,
Then everyone commenced to do what they were doin' before he turned their heads.
Then he walked up to a stranger and he asked him with a grin,
"Could you kindly tell me, friend, what time the show begins?"
Then he moved into the corner, face down like the Jack of Hearts.

Backstage the girls were playin' five-card stud by the stairs,
Lily had two queens, she was hopin' for a third to match her pair.
Outside the streets were fillin' up, the window was open wide,
A gentle breeze was blowin', you could feel it from inside.
Lily called another bet and drew up the Jack of Hearts.

Big Jim was no one's fool, he owned the town's only diamond mine,
He made his usual entrance lookin' so dandy and so fine.
With his bodyguards and silver cane and every hair in place,
He took whatever he wanted to and he laid it all to waste.
But his bodyguards and silver cane were no match for the Jack of Hearts.

Rosemary combed her hair and took a carriage into town,
She slipped in through the side door lookin' like a queen without a crown.
She fluttered her false eyelashes and whispered in his ear,
"Sorry, darlin', that I'm late," but he didn't seem to hear.
He was starin' into space over at the Jack of Hearts.

"I know I've seen that face before," Big Jim was thinkin' to himself,
"Maybe down in Mexico or a picture up on somebody's shelf."
But then the crowd began to stamp their feet and the house lights did dim
And in the darkness of the room there was only Jim and him,
Starin' at the butterfly who just drew the Jack of Hearts.

Lily was a princess, she was fair-skinned and precious as a child,
She did whatever she had to do, she had that certain flash every time she smiled.
She'd come away from a broken home, had lots of strange affairs
With men in every walk of life which took her everywhere.
But she'd never met anyone quite like the Jack of Hearts.

The hangin' judge came in unnoticed and was being wined and dined,
The drillin' in the wall kept up but no one seemed to pay it any mind.
It was known all around that Lily had Jim's ring
And nothing would ever come between Lily and the king.
No, nothin' ever would except maybe the Jack of Hearts.

Rosemary started drinkin' hard and seein' her reflection in the knife,
She was tired of the attention, tired of playin' the role of Big Jim's wife.
She had done a lot of bad things, even once tried suicide,
Was lookin' to do just one good deed before she died.
She was gazin' to the future, riding on the Jack of Hearts.

Lily washed her face, took her dress off and buried it away.
"Has your luck run out?" she laughed at him, "Well, I guess you must
have known it would someday.
Be careful not to touch the wall, there's a brand-new coat of paint,
I'm glad to see you're still alive, you're lookin' like a saint."
Down the hallway footsteps were comin' for the Jack of Hearts.

The backstage manager was pacing all around by his chair.
"There's something funny going on," he said, "I can just feel it in the air."
He went to get the hangin' judge, but the hangin' judge was drunk,
As the leading actor hurried by in the costume of a monk.
There was no actor anywhere better than the Jack of Hearts.

Lily's arms were locked around the man that she dearly loved to touch,
She forgot all about the man she couldn't stand who hounded her so much.
"I've missed you so," she said to him, and he felt she was sincere,
But just beyond the door he felt jealousy and fear.
Just another night in the life of the Jack of Hearts.

No one knew the circumstance but they say that it happened pretty quick,
The door to the dressing room burst open and a cold revolver clicked.
And Big Jim was standin' there, ya couldn't say surprised,
Rosemary right beside him, steady in her eyes.
She was with Big Jim but she was leanin' to the Jack of Hearts.

Two doors down the boys finally made it through the wall
And cleaned out the bank safe, it's said that they got off with quite a haul.
In the darkness by the riverbed they waited on the ground
For one more member who had business back in town.
But they couldn't go no further without the Jack of Hearts.

The next day was hangin' day, the sky was overcast and black,
Big Jim lay covered up, killed by a penknife in the back.
And Rosemary on the gallows, she didn't even blink,
The hangin' judge was sober, he hadn't had a drink.
The only person on the scene missin' was the Jack of Hearts.

The cabaret was empty now, a sign said, "Closed for repair,"
Lily had already taken all of the dye out of her hair.
She was thinkin' 'bout her father, who she very rarely saw,
Thinkin' 'bout Rosemary and thinkin' about the law.
But, most of all she was thinkin' 'bout the Jack of Hearts.

Otherside
Chorus:
How long how long will I slide
Separate my side I don’t
I don’t believe it’s bad
Slit my throat
It’s all I ever

I heard your voice through a photograph
I thought it up it brought up the past
Once you know you can never go back
I’ve got to take it on the otherside

Centuries are what it meant to me
A cemetery where I marry the sea
Stranger things could never change my mind
I’ve got to take it on the otherside
Take it on the otherside
Take it on
Take it on

Chorus

Pour my life into a paper cup
The ashtray’s full and I’m spillin’ my guts
She wants to know am I still a slut
I’ve got to take it on the otherside

Scarlet starlet and she’s in my bed
A candidate for my soul mate bled
Push the trigger and pull the thread
I’ve got to take it on the otherside
Take it on the otherside
Take it on
Take it on

Chorus

Turn me on take me for a hard ride
Burn me out leave me on the otherside
I yell and tell it that
It’s not my friend
I tear it down I tear it down
And then it’s born again

Chorus

How long I don’t believe it’s bad
Slit my throat
It’s all I ever

Red Hot Chile Peppers

This is one of my favourite songs to cheer me up on a bad day

Can't stop addicted to the shin dig
Cop top he says I'm gonna win big
Choose not a life of imitation
Distant cousin to the reservation
Defunkt the pistol that you pay for
This punk the feeling that you stay for
In time I want to be your best friend
Eastside love is living on the westend
Knock out but boy you better come to
Don't die you know the truth is some do
Go write your message on the pavement
Burnin' so bright I wonder what the wave meant
White heat is screaming in the jungle
Complete the motion if you stumble
Go ask the dust for any answers
Come back strong with 50 belly dancers

[Chorus:]
The world I love
