Lyrics... and life!

[cyanide_sweet]

Ooh I definitely like the rewrite!


This song reminds me of a friend:
Justify by Scott Stapp
I met a man in New Orleans wore a half suit with dark blue jeans
Kicked his heals together winked at me real nice.
I saw him from a mile away,
But in my state of mind I let him make his play
"Hey boy... have you seen the other side"
Yeah...in this man I saw the devil's hand so I looked at him man to man said
"This time it's gonna be a fight!"

I do not have to justify,
The way I live my life.
I do not have to justify,
The reason I'm alive.

I saw her from across the room with diamond eyes she's heaven's jewel.
Dropped two aces smiled and threw my cards back.
Yeah I've been that man
Who lives deceit
Surrounds himself with worldly things.

So let me tell you a story
Let me feed it to you

We fly around like we were superman live in another trance
a different way to dance with dark romance
you get another chance to do that dirty dance without consequence.

I do not have to justify,
The way I live my life.
I do not have to justify,
The reason I'm alive.

Let me change the timber of this section
Add a little booze to ice
I guess you probably noticed
I've been living a double life

So fly around like you are superman given another chance
a different way to dance with true romance
you get another chance to tell your dirty, darkest secrets.

We fly around like we were superman live in another trance different way to dance with dark romance you
get another chance to do the dirty dance without consequence.

I do not have to justify,
The way I live my life.
I do not have to justify,
The reason I'm alive.

No more.
It's just not me.
Not me.
I'm just like you.

[Swayambhu]

Yeah, you still kiss me, but it's just on the cheek
Yeah, you still kiss me, but it's just on the cheek
Yeah, you still kiss me sometimes, but it's just on the cheek
You pull away so easily

And I still call you, but I get your machine
yeah I still call you, but I get your machine
And if I'm lucky I guess, It's your roommate answering
But you're at the bar, or at Gene's

And we go to dinner, but you won't hold my hand
We sit at the same table, we don't play with our feet
Yeah we still go to dinner sometimes, but we don't sneak a kiss
When the waitress turns around

And we still watch movies, but we don't share the couch
Yeah we still rent movies, but we don't share the couch
Yeah, we still watch movies sometimes, but you don't lay in my lap
The plot is slow, take a nap

And you even stay over, but now we stay in our clothes
Yeah, you'll even sleep over, but now we stay in our clothes
Yeah, you even sleep over sometimes, but we stay in our clothes
I'm only there so that you're not alone

And you say that I hurt you, in a voice like a prayer
Yeah, you say that I've hurt you, and your voice is like a prayer
Yeah, well maybe I hurt you sometimes, but let's contrast and compare
Lift up your shirt, the wound isn't there

I guess that your truth, is just the ghost of your lies
I guess your kind of truth, is just the ghost of your lies
Yeah, your kind of truth, darling, is just the ghost of your lies
I see through them all the time
So I'm pouring some whiskey, I'm gonna get drunk
Yeah, I'm pouring myself some whiskey, I'm going to get really fucking drunk
I'm pouring some whiskey right now, I'm going to get so, so drunk
That I pass out, forget your face, by the time I wake up...

[LadySheDevil]

This song is an automatic happymaker for me...

Ordinary Day
Great Big Sea

I've got a smile on my face, I've got four walls around me
The sun in the sky, the water surrounds me
I'll win now but sometimes I'll lose
I've been battered, but I'll never bruise, it's not so bad

[Chorus]
And I say way-hey-hey, it's just an ordinary day
and it's all your state of mind
At the end of the day, you've still got to say,
it's all right.

See that girl on the street, what keeps her from dying
Let them say what they want, she won't stop trying
She might stumble, if they push her 'round
She might fall, but she'll never lie down

[Chorus]

It's a beautiful day, but there's always some sorrow
It's a double edged knife, but there's always tomorrow
It's up to you now if you sink or swim,
Keep the faith and your ship will come in.

[cyanide_sweet]

I love these song lyrics

Haunted by Disturbed

You're broken, so am I
I'm better off alone
No one to turn to and nothing to call my own
Outspoken, so am I
Explosive words that your world wouldn't understand
Turn away again

You're beaten, so am I
I've got a heart of stone
No medication can cure what has taken hold
You're hurting, so will I
When I awake and remember why I've been running from your

World
Dishonored by your world
Your world
I'm haunted by your world

My blood is cold as ice
Or so I have been told
Show no emotion, and it can destroy your soul
Another sacrifice
To a tormentor your world wouldn't understand
Turn away again

You're angered, so am I
A thousand fires burn
A land of darkness from which I cannot return
You're aching, so will I
When I awake and discover that I have been damaged by your

World
Dishonored by your world
Your world
I'm haunted by your world

(Never will I be welcomed
Amongst the heartless monsters you surround yourself with
Feeding off the pain and misfortune of others
A maniacal unit of sub-human parasites
Warped into a feeding frenzy with the smell of fresh blood
Open your eyes and see the creatures for what they are
A swirling mess of hatred and envy
Don't be naive enough to think you're unaffected
The conversion has already begun...)

You're frightened, so am I
A world of demons wait
Watching the movements and filling my heart with hate
You're burning, so will I
When I awake and discover how I have been ravaged by your

World
Dishonored by your world
Your world
I'm haunted by your world

[midgetshrimp]

This song is an automatic happymaker for me...

Ordinary Day
Great Big Sea

Is that the DDR song? I don't know the words to it, but everyone dances to it because it's easy.

[Marque'd]

This is probably the one song that not only changed my taste in music forevermore, but the one song that personifies everything that goes on in my mind, if that makes sense.


Evanescence- Imaginary

Oh, paper flowers
Oh, paper flowers

I linger in the doorway
Of alarm clock screaming
Monsters calling my name
Let me stay
Where the wind will whisper to me
Where the raindrops, as they’re falling, tell a story

In my field of paper flowers
And candy clouds of lullaby (flowers)
I lie inside myself for hours
And watch my purple sky fly over me (flowers)

Don’t say I’m out of touch
With this rampant chaos - your reality
I know well what lies beyond my sleeping refuge
The nightmare I built my own world to escape

In my field of paper flowers
And candy clouds of lullaby (flowers)
I lie inside myself for hours
And watch my purple sky fly over me (flowers)

Swallowed up in the sound of my screaming
Cannot cease for the fear of silent nights
Oh, how I long for the deep sleep dreaming
The goddess of imaginary light

In my field of paper flowers
And candy clouds of lullaby (flowers)
I lie inside myself for hours
And watch my purple sky fly over me (flowers)

(Paper flowers)

[Don Alexander]

I love that song!!!

[Asaryu]

Blue Orchid - The White Stripes

You got a reaction
You got a reaction didn't, you?
You took a white orchid
You took a white orchid turned it blue

Something better than nothing
Something better than nothing, it's giving up
We all need to do something
Try keep the truth from showing up

How dare you
How old are you now, anyway?

Edit: This is another of those songs I listen to when someone is being a dickhead to me. It allows me to feel a certain amount of satisfaction when I turn and walk away from them for a while. Like Seven Nation Army.

[Fen]

Eh, most of my "soul-sngs" are in Romanian. Here's a rough translation:P.(the song is actually quite tongue-in-cheek about Soviet Russia(URSS) but I'll ignore that subject). Doesn't make much sense tho:P.
Phoenix- In umbra marelui urs(in the great bear's shadow.)

i stand alone and ask myself
why i left my home
Is it the curse of the century that's upon us?

I haven't done anything wrong
but i've suffered so
exiled i was, for no reason, by those who I loved

Sunset after sunset
How fast time flies
the dawn has left, how cold the wind blows.

I've waited, freezing,
for a chance to return
You've judged and sentenced me, but who are you anyway?

For our time has gone
in the shadow of the big bear
but its claws remained in every embrace
Today even the kiss on the cheek hurts

Give me my life back,
everything that I've wasted for you
Forgetting everything, the two years of wandering
another sweet thousand await

The leaves have fallen
spread by the leaves
Where are the hopes? None are left.

A sudden, unspoken, thought
stuns me.
I've waited for so long, dreamt for so long
but nothing has changed.

But give me my life back,
everything that I've wasted for you
Forgetting everything, forgetting you,
my drinking buddies
Out of a thousand, so few of you are left.

And your time in the shadow has gone
but the claws are left in every hug
today, the kiss on the cheek hurts.

[Azrael]

From a time when we were young and immortal and the Boss was one of the most profound and meaningful poets we knew:

No Surrender

Bruce Springsteen

Well, we busted out of class
Had to get away from those fools
We learned more from a 3-minute record, baby
Than we ever learned in school
Tonight I hear the neighborhood drummer sound
I can feel my heart begin to pound
You say you're tired and you just want to close your eyes
And follow your dreams down

Chorus:
Well, we made a promise we swore we'd always remember
No retreat, baby, no surrender
Like soldiers in the winter's night
With a vow to defend
No retreat, baby, no surrender

Well, now young faces grow sad and old
And hearts of fire grow cold
We swore blood brothers against the wind
Now I'm ready to grow young again
And hear your sister's voice calling us home
Across the open yards
Well maybe we'll cut someplace of own
With these drums and these guitars

'Cause we made a promise we swore we'd always remember
No retreat, baby, no surrender
Blood brothers in the stormy night
With a vow to defend
No retreat, baby, no surrender

Now on the street tonight the lights grow dim
The walls of my room are closing in
There's a war outside still raging
You say it ain't ours anymore to win
I want to sleep beneath
Peaceful skies in my lover's bed
With a wide open country in my eyes
And these romantic dreams in my head

Once we made a promise we swore we'd always remember
No retreat, baby, no surrender
Blood brothers in a stormy night
With a vow to defend
No retreat, baby, no surrender

[Asaryu]

late last year I listened to a podcast about bruce Springsteen and philosophy.

Oddly, I like his music now, without ever having having listened to a song.

[LadySheDevil]

I love this song. And it goes with a couple of conversations I've had recently...

99 Biker Friends -Bowling for Soup
And a video, if you want to hear.

Such a big man, such a little chick.
I think it all goes back to your tiny
Pick- up truck in the driveway,
With a sticker on the window
"Rest in Peace Number 3".
Tell all your friends
How you put her in her place.
7 pounds of makeup
Just to hide her beat up face.
Such a pretty face.

CHORUS
It takes a tough man to slap her around.
Such a bad guy to keep such a good girl down.
She's wearing shades but we all see
Behind the tinted glass.
And I've got 99 biker friends
That wanna kick your ass.

You tell her that you're sorry.
Blame it on the beer.
Your dad was mean to you.
Your friends think you're an asshole
And I do too.
Over compensatin' for your small shoes.
Takin her away, but you won't say when.
Hold her in your arms,
Tell her this won't happen again.
When will this end? Well

[CHORUS]

I wish Bruce Lee was here right now
With his trusty nun-chucks
Chuck Norris is still alive,
So let's call up Walker, Texas Ranger,
All the dudes from "Danger, Danger".
Let's get the A-Team,
50 Cent with his bling-bling,
And a couple of prison guards.

[CHORUS]
(99 biker friends, just wanna mention there's 69 lesbians)
I hope that you can run fast
(99 biker friends, just wanna mention there's 69 lesbians)
Start runnin' now.
(99 biker friends, just wanna mention there's 69 lesbians)
We're gonna kick your ass

[Don Alexander]

I wish to post one of my favorite song lyrics.

From what is also one one my favorite songs.

The incredible thing is that I am living it now!!!

*keelz over dedd*

NEAERA - LIBERATION

YEAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

The house, the storm
Feather and tar

Art, existence
YEAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

The house, the storm
Feather and tar

Art, existence
The flower in the sewer

The days of mourn are passed
All sorrow aside
I finally arrived
In a realm I thought not (to) be true
Here I dwell forever
Eternal ease
Found a lotus in the sewer
A lake for the sword
No longer sick of running
No longer scared of burning

Grand, imperial peace
I left the wretched
The scarred, despise all grief
Antagonism

Grand, imperial peace
I left the wretched
The scarred, despise all grief
Antagonism obsolete

The world has silenced
The voices are gone
I made oil my water
And dust my air
Found relief, salvation
Quit the downward spiral
Sad years, bygone
Future - the brightest white

Grand, imperial peace
I left the wretched
The scarred, despise all grief
Antagonism

Grand, imperial peace
I left the wretched
The scarred, despise all grief
Antagonism obsolete

Antagonism obsolete

The house, the storm
Feather and tar

Art, existence
The flower in the sewer

YEAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH





Oh, how I love you so, my lady!!!

[Java]

I'm more than a little concerned you see
About the New World Order conspiracies
And the covert spreading of deadly disease
They've got earthquake machines and UFO's
and black helicopters wherever we go
But I forget them all when you are with me

They can telepathically monitor my mind
I'm not scared of what they'll find
Let them do what they're gonna do
Cuz' if the government could read my mind
They'd know I'm thinking of you.

My husband sang this to me.

[Don Alexander]

That is ridiculously cute!!
