Hi  ;D

Sorry if this has been discussed before, but ...

I was just wondering what song lyrics either express your feelings or mood ... or maybe it's just sentimental to you.  Not necessarily the entire song, just a segment of the lyrics within the song.

One of my favorites is from "Hello" by Evanescence:

Don't try to fix me, I'm not broken
Hello ... I am the lie living for you so you can hide
Don't cry

From Save Ferris - Everything I Want To Be:
Quote
My life was simple / But now its complex / And it doesn't seem to mean anything at all / And everything I want to be / Is just another silly dream, you see / But I'll keep dreaming just the same

Sometimes it's hard to be me / When people stand in my way / I get so easily discouraged / Well, what can I say / They try to mess you up / They try to push you around / They'll do anything / To bring you down

I'm not gonna be / Stuck in mediocrity / When everybody's trying to bring me / Back down to reality / Oh, why can't they see / Just how much this means to me / Maybe one day I'll be special
It was one of my favorite songs back in high school.  I still love her voice.

Everything I Want to Be (3:48)

I love this song...

"So familiar
And overwhelmingly warm
This one, this form I hold now
Embracing you, this reality here
This one, this form I hold now
So wide-eyed and hopeful
Wide-eyed and hopefully wild

We barely remember
What came before this precious moment
Choosing to be here
Right now
Hold on, stay inside"

This body holding me
Reminding me that I am not alone in
This body makes me feel
Eternal, all this pain is an illusion

Well, without meaning to sound pretentious, the most relevant songs to my feelings/mood are the ones I write myself, eg: http://forum.jimmo.org/index.php/topic,625.0.html

Oh, there are lots, but I'll try to just pick a few.

AFI - The Last Kiss

Hung in your room, swaying, hoping only that you'll see
All by myself, I'm alone in such poor company.
The deeper I think, the deeper I seem to sink,
I can't stop the insects that are feeding,
pull the needles from beneath my skin.
I broke myself, shattered, tied a bow around every piece.
You'll love the eyes.
Have they always shown so vacantly?
The more I show the less you'll want to know.
I can't stop the insects that are feeding,
pull the needles from beneath my skin.
Now I'm on display.
I am becoming.
Hurt myself today.
It's all for you.
Do you like, do you like, what I'm becoming?
Cut myself today.
It's all for you.
I part the night, flashing, approaching as I watch you flee.
Pushed through your panes.
Seems I've landed quite uncomfortably.
But as I pass through souls of broken glass
I can't stop the insects that are feeding.
Pull the needles from beneath my skin.
Please don't ask me just what I think, trust me,
you don't want to know.
Please don't ask me to open up, trust me, trust me,
'cause I can't


AFI - ...But Home Is Nowhere


Twenty-six years and seems like I've just begun
To understand my, my intimate is no one
When the director sold the show, who bought its last rites?
They cut the cast, the music, and the lights

This is my line, this is eternal
How did I ever end up here?
Discarnate, preternatural
My prayers to disappear
Absent of grace, marked as infernal
Ungranted in dead time left me disowned
To this nature, so unnatural
I remain alone

Twenty-six years end, still speaking in these tongues
Such revelations while understood by no one
When the new actor stole the show, who questioned his grace?
Please clear the house of ill-aquired taste

This is my line, this is eternal
How did I ever end up here?
Discarnate, preternatural
My prayers to disappear
Absent of grace, marked as infernal
Ungranted in dead time left me disowned
To this nature, so unnatural
I remain alone

Give me something, give me something
Give me something, give me something
Give me something, give me something real

I lay strewn across the floor, can't solve this puzzle
Everyday another small piece can't be found
I lay strewn across the floor, pieced up in sorrow
The pieces are lost, these pieces don't fit
Pieced together incomplete and empty

This is my line, this is eternal
How did I ever end up here?
Discarnate, preternatural
My prayers to disappear
Absent of grace, marked as infernal
Ungranted in dead time left me disowned
To this nature, so unnatural
I remain alone

This is my line, this is eternal
How did I end up here?
Discarnate, preternatural
My prayers to disappear
Absent of grace, marked as infernal
Ungranted in dead time left me disowned
To this nature, so unnatural


The Smiths - from "I Know It's Over"

It's so easy to laugh
It's so easy to hate
It takes strength to be gentle and kind
Over, over, over, over
It's so easy to laugh
It's so easy to hate
It takes guts to be gentle and kind
Over, over


The Smiths - Asleep

Sing me to sleep
Sing me to sleep
I'm tired and I
I want to go to bed

Sing me to sleep
Sing me to sleep
And then leave me alone
Don't try to wake me in the morning
'Cause I will be gone
Don't feel bad for me
I want you to know
Deep in the cell of my heart
I will feel so glad to go

Sing me to sleep
Sing me to sleep
I don't want to wake up
On my own anymore

Sing to me
Sing to me
I don't want to wake up
On my own anymore

Don't feel bad for me
I want you to know
Deep in the cell of my heart
I really want to go

There is another world
There is a better world
Well, there must be
Well, there must be
Well, there must be
Well, there must be
Well ...

Bye bye
Bye bye
Bye ...
If curiosity really killed the cat, I'd already be dead. :laugh:

NeonStars

Listen
I am alone at a crossroads
I'm not at home in my own home
And I've tried and tried
To say what's on my mind
You should have known
Now I'm done believing you
You don't know what I'm feeling
I'm more than what
You've made of me
I followed the voice, you gave to me
But now I've gotta find my own
You should have listened

Martymadman

the 1st half of the song "take my hopes and dreams" show my feelings

"i am so afraid,
everyone i know runs away,
walking into darkness and turning away from me.

I reach out to them,
calling to them wishing they'd come,
they don't even look back they keep on walking away.


I'll turn my back too,
reject those who rejected me,
take my hopes and dreams, turn them into my nightmares.

I'll walk to the dark,
find my way out all by myself,
forget all the rest, just put faith in no-one but me.

possibly the best song ever written

There's two songs that seem to me to be my "theme song" for life overall, though I wouldn't quote just part of them because it's the overall "message" that moves me. I' could surely come up with a lot of "clips" from other songs..

This is one of them....especially meaningful when I was still under the illusion I needed to be "healed" but still moves me:

U2 I Still Haven't Found What Im Looking For Live From Milan

But even more so, this one gets me...whatever the songwriter meant, it speaks to me of "coming out of the closet" and facing the prejudices and opinions of others and the uncertainty of doing that...I don't know if you could write a song specifically about coming out and say it any better than this:

Oh, life is bigger
It's bigger than you
And you are not me
The lengths that I will go to
The distance in your eyes
Oh no, I've said too much
I set it up

(chorus)
That's me in the corner
That's me in the spotlight, I'm
Losing my religion
Trying to keep up with you
And I don't know if I can do it
Oh no, I've said too much
I haven't said enough
I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try

Every whisper
Of every waking hour I'm
Choosing my confessions
Trying to keep an eye on you
Like a hurt lost and blinded fool, fool
Oh no, I've said too much
I set it up
Consider this
Consider this
The hint of the century
Consider this
The slip that brought me
To my knees failed
What if all these fantasies
Come flailing around
Now I've said too much
I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try

But that was just a dream
That was just a dream

But that was just a dream
Try, cry, why try?
That was just a dream
Just a dream, just a dream
Dream

R.E.M Losing my religion.

This song describes pain I been living through the years and my inside animals so to say:

Syne

Quote from: CruxshadowsAnd when my ashes scatter me with my memories to the wind
What endures beyond the silent edge is the essence found within
Have we forgotten truly who we are and what our living means?
Our purpose lies, in others eyes, and the realities that we bring

With hearts immortal
We stand before our lives
A soul against oblivion forever asking "why...?"
This upside-down symphony in a paradox called life
Are hearts immortal?
What you give to love
Will never die

All that I am
And all that I dream
Lives somewhere beyond
Your image of me
And who I become
And what I will be
Is not your's to decide
It comes only from me

Bob Dylan - Not Dark Yet

Shadows are falling and I've been here all day
It's too hot to sleep time is running away
Feel like my soul has turned into steel
I've still got the scars that the sun didn't heal
There's not even room enough to be anywhere
It's not dark yet, but it's getting there

Well my sense of humanity has gone down the drain
Behind every beautiful thing there's been some kind of pain
She wrote me a letter and she wrote it so kind
She put down in writing what was in her mind
I just don't see why I should even care
It's not dark yet, but it's getting there

Well, I've been to London and I've been to 'gay Paris'
I've followed the river and I got to the sea
I've been down on the bottom of a world full of lies
I ain't looking for nothing in anyone's eyes
Sometimes my burden seems more than I can bear
It's not dark yet, but it's getting there

I was born here and I'll die here against my will
I know it looks like I'm moving, but I'm standing still
Every nerve in my body is so vacant and numb
I can't even remember what it was I came here to get away from
Don't even hear a murmur of a prayer
It's not dark yet, but it's getting there.

Bob Dylan - Not Dark Yet
