'Evening all! I think this is the first thread I've started on these forums so I thought I'd make it something a bit fun. When listening to music certain lines often jump out at me for various reasons; maybe it reminds me of someone I miss, a place I miss, a memory I'd rather forget... Whatever it might be and whether the emotions behind your thoughts are positive or negative lyrics can speak to us and echo our own thoughts and emotions, I thought it might be nice to see some of the lyrics that speak to you. One from tonight for me as I sit here being kept company by Last.fm is from 'For You' by Peter Bradley Adams: If your wandering ever leads you to a place where you don't know which road to choose, leave your worries behind, take the road that leads to mine and I'll be waiting there for you...
I was listening to Evanescence's first demo CD a while ago, and though I wasn't all that fond of the song itself, these lyrics from "Where Will You Go" really jumped out at me, probably because it seems Amy wrote a song that was entirely about someone else for once: You think that I can't see right through your eyes Scared to death to face reality No one seems to hear your hidden cries You're left to face yourself alone But where will you go With no one left to save you from yourself You can't escape the truth I realize you're afraid But you can't abandon everyone You can't escape You don't want to escape
This is the title track from Mumford and Sons' latest album, Babel. You have to listen to it though, because there's just so much feeling in this song. 'Cause I know that time has numbered my days And I’ll go along with everything you say But I’ll ride home laughing, look at me now The walls of my town, they come crumbling down And my ears hear the call of my unborn sons And I know their choices color all I’ve done But I’ll explain it all to the watchman’s son, I never lived a year better spent in love 'Cause I know my weakness know my voice, so now believe in grace and choice And I know perhaps my heart is farce, but I’ll be born without a mask
The following lyrics are from the song Brand New Lover from Dead or Alive from their album Mad, Bad, and Dangerous to Know 1987 "Your sweet nature, darling Was too hard to swallow I've got the solution I'm leaving tomorrow And now as I stand And stare into your eyes I see safety there-- I want surprises"
See my signature. It's from the song "If No One Will Listen" by Keri Noble. For me it's about having just one person around who understands and supports you no matter what, even when it seems like the entire world is against you and everything seems so pointless.
Fiona Apple - Daredevil Second verse Say I'm an airplane and the gashes I got from my heartbreak make the slots on the flaps upon my wings and I use them to give me lift Hip-hip, for the lift Hip hip for the drag I want them all in my bag, Oh, give me anything, and I'll turn it into a gift
Lithium... Take your pick of Nirvana or Amy Lee remake... I've been listening to it all day "I can't hold on to me, wonder what's wrong with me..."
Evanescence's song isn't a remake of the Nievana song. They just happen to have the same name. The Nirvana song doesn't even have that lyric, or any others from the Evanescence song. (Also, Evanescence is a band, not Amy Lee's stage name.)
Right off the bat I have to point at my signature. It's from the song Home by Phillip Phillips. That entire song just speaks to me. It's how I feel. It's an inspiring song. And it says what I want to say to everyone who's troubled and thinks it's not gonna get better. I want to say that I'm here for you.
Okie doke I just found a youtube video that meshed pictures of both and didn't look much further. Thanks for clearing it up
Positively 4th Street - Bob Dylan I wish that for just one time You could stand inside my shoes And just for that one moment I could be you Yes, I wish that for just one time You could stand inside my shoes You’d know what a drag it is To see you Always makes me laugh.
Never Too Late - Three Days Grace No one will ever see This side reflected And if there's something wrong Who would have guessed it And I have left alone Everything that I own To make you feel like It's not too late It's never too late
I was listening to the album this song is on, and I really started listening to the lyrics. I guess "Ray" would have to be changed to "Kay" though. Ray - Aimee Mann Ray, as of today I can't say things will ever be the same And that could be a shame 'Cause though I think I know Another lonely exile when I see one And you appear to be one Still...
Ive had now by fireflight stuck in my head for a while. Mostly because of this part: "Dont lay down dont let it destroy you Pain is real but its not gonna own you! Not this time around (this is your time now!) Get back up gotta keep on trying Raise your fist gotta keep on fighting! This is your time now This is your time now! You're not hopeless, you're not worthless no! You are loved, don't give up now!" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sends a pretty awesome message.
I was listening to Howie Day - Collide earlier and while I've heard the song a million times and know every word....this line just struck me out of the blue... I've found I'm scared to know I'm always on your mind. I think it really struck one of my mind bebes and maybe even a part of me... Love is crazy, ya know.
Emilie Autumn - Fight like a girl It's primarily the last four lines. I'm not quite sure why, I just really agree with them. (I find it slightly ironic that I like the lyrics so much given what the song is about, though.) (No mercy, it’s a bit too late, The game is on Don't run, don't hide, don't wait) ‘Cause if we’ve got no honor, Then we’ve got no shame, If it’s in self-defense, Then we will take no blame
(Radiohead - No Surprises) You look so tired and unhappy Bring down the government They don't, they don't speak for us I'll take a quiet life A handshake of carbon monoxide No alarms and no surprises No alarms and no surprises No alarms and no surprises Silent, silent I listen to that song when I want to die because not I can't take life, but I'm too curious to see what's it like to die, to take your last breath, to remember all you lived for, your cherished memories. Then your eyes open slightly, your lungs exhale a little, and your chest falls slightly....then....your gone. I find death a beautiful thing for some reason. I'm not a morbid person...just the kind of person that likes to think.
Somebody That I Used To Know lyrics Now and then I think of when we were together Like when you said you felt so happy you could die Told myself that you were right for me But felt so lonely in your company But that was love and it's an ache I still remember You can get addicted to a certain kind of sadness Like resignation to the end Always the end So when we found that we could not make sense Well you said that we would still be friends But I'll admit that I was glad that it was over But you didn't have to cut me off Make out like it never happened And that we were nothing And I don't even need your love But you treat me like a stranger And that feels so rough You didn't have to stoop so low Have your friends collect your records And then change your number I guess that I don't need that though Now you're just somebody that I used to know Now and then I think of all the times you screwed me over But had me believing it was always something that I'd done And I don't wanna live that way Reading into every word you say You said that you could let it go And I wouldn't catch you hung up on somebody that you used to know... But you didn't have to cut me off Make out like it never happened And that we were nothing And I don't even need your love But you treat me like a stranger And that feels so rough You didn't have to stoop so low Have your friends collect your records And then change your number I guess that I don't need that though Now you're just somebody that I used to know I used to know That I used to know Somebody...
