Lyrics that speak to your soul.

Follow Your Arrow by Kacey Musgraves

I don't actually like the song that much but I thought the lyrics had a really nice message when I heard it:

If you save yourself for marriage
You're a bore
If you don't save yourself for marriage
You're a whore-able person
If you won't have a drink
Then you're a prude
But they'll call you a drunk
As soon as you down the first one

If you can't lose the weight
Then you're just fat
But if you lose too much
Then you're on crack
You're damned if you do
And you're damned if you don't
So you might as well just do
Whatever you want
So

Make lots of noise
Kiss lots of boys
Or kiss lots of girls
If that's something you're into
When the straight and narrow
Gets a little too straight
Roll up a joint, or don't
Just follow your arrow
Wherever it points, yeah
Follow your arrow
Wherever it points

 

You'll be in my heart - Phil Collins
"Why can't they understand the way we feel?
They just don't trust what they can't explain
I know we're different but deep inside us
We're not that different at all"

 

All I'm dreaming of by Black Stone Cherry.

There's something about our world today
That makes me wanna cry
There's too much anger and too much pain
Too much money and too many lies

If I could have one wish tonight
I would beg of us to forget our pride
If we could do just one thing right
We could help each other to love our lives

All I'm dreamin of
Is good times, good friends, and somebody to love
All I'm dreamin of
Is no fears, no tears, and blue skies up above

Well the whole song is awesome but too long to just write in here.

 

"Oxford Comma" by Vampire Weekend always touches my heart.

 

"I'll never know what I'm capable of,
if I don't go where I'm scared to be lost"

Out of it - Fallulah

It inspires me to remember my courage when I take risky decisions in life

 

Another Now by Kate Alexa

Spoiler

VERSE 1
It was only just the other day,
When all this felt so real
Like nothing could go wrong,
It was like a never ending dream,
nothing ever changed,
For so long,

But now you've gone away,
And I've tried turning the page,
and its just not the same,

CHORUS
But I'm breathing in,
And I'm breathing out,
I'm wide awake,
But i can't hear a sound,

Though I'm breathing in,
I can't think about,
Another you, Another me, Another now.

VERSE 2
Where do i go from here,
I've never felt so strange,
I've never felt so torn,
Cause ever since you came my way,
I learned to live by you,
and now I'm on my own,

I know i need some time,
To leave all this behind,
Cause I'm still hanging on,

CHORUS
But I'm breathing in,
And I'm breathing out,
I'm wide awake,
But i cant hear a sound,

But I'm breathing in,
I cant think about,
Another you, another me, another now.

BRIDGE
I'm sitting here, all alone,
Nowhere to move, nowhere to go,
Cause nothing's real, I just wanna hurt,

Cause your not here

CHORUS
But I'm breathing in,
And I'm breathing out,
I'm wide awake,
But i cant hear a sound,

I'm breathing in,
And I'm breathing out,
I'm wide awake,
But i cant hear a sound,
But I'm breathing in,
I cant think about,

Another you, Another me, Another now

oooh woah

Another you, Another me, Another now

 

Well the best one I can think of is in Swedish, I can translate it though. I listened to it when I was depressed and it just applied to my situation and helped me get through it all.

Spegelen (The Mirror) - Panda Da Panda

your wrists speak for it
flaouapaoua
so here's a song from panda so you'll understand
that you're not alone any more
and that there's hope you'll stop turning yourself inside out

cus I've also felt that way
and I know I know how you feel

I stood with my fists clenched in front of the mirror
and I hit myself
I took a scissor and I cut myself over the shoulder
I burned myself with a hot screwdriver

then I layed there on the carpet
then I layed there on the carpet
and now that I think back on it all
I've got a smile on my lips
because it made me strong

do they call you emo
or that you do it to be cool
they have no idea
no they have no idea how it feels like to not know
what's wrong
what's wrong

so take my word
instead of your blood
so take my word
instead of your blood

 

Maybe i should drop you at your door
Leave tonight and vanish up the shore
Anywhere but here...
It's 3 am, we're driving in your car
Screaming out the windows at the stars
Please don't drive me home...

That song makes me think of all the amazing times I've had with my friends and how I wouldn't change that for anything.

And this one: Pilfers, "Climbing"

Now I'm so glad to know they've all just gone home
And finally we're here alone at last
Now our desires have been held back for hours
Our emotions run strong
Like the trade winds off the shores

And I can't wait a minute, wait another minute at all
You've got me climbing up the wall
And I can't wait a minute, wait another minute at all
You've got me climbing up the wall

The TV cast shadows that flicker on the walls
And it reminds me of the lake on a summers night
Let yourself fall into my caramel vortex
You don't have to be afraid
We'll be safe as we twist

And I can't wait a minute, wait another minute at all
You got me climbing up, you've got me climbing up the wall

Now that we rid out we guests it's
Time to raise some hell
Inna mi fridge mi have a bowl of cherries and
Some white zinfandel
If you want some love spectacular
Lay back and relax 'pon mi sofa
Same thing the chorus all say
Rude bwoy now 'pon de replay

You've got me climbing up, you've got me climbing up the wall

 

Cause now more than ever what we need
Is love to replace all the obscene
Something good and something beautiful if only we could see
That now more than ever what we need
Is a little love

Is there no more have we gone too far?
There's nothing I can do to make you sway
To see the blood running through our hearts
No different from the blood we've come to hate

lyrics are from Calm the Fire by Alter Bridge

 

"You cant fight the tears that aint coming,
Or the moment of truth in your lies
When everything feels like the movies,
Yeah you'd bleed just to know you're alive"
Iris-Goo Goo Dolls

 

On a really bad day: Johnny cash "hurt"
I hurt myself today,
To see if I still feel,
I focus on the pain,
The only thing that's real.

Or eels:
There's a world outside,
And I know cause I've heard talk,
In my sweetest dreams,
I could go out for a walk. . But I don't think I'm ready yet.. Not feeling up to it now... Just not that steady yet, and I don't need you telling me how.

When I'm in a good mood: Muse " supermassive black hole" or REM lotus

 

When everything's made to be broken,
I just want you to know who I am
<3 so beautiful


Diver (DAIBAA) - Naruto song... Here in an English translation

The anchor of pain I hold bears down
Praying for life, I pray for the sound
of drops in heaven falling to the ground

Fighting to hold on tight
yearning for a breath of life
I cannot tell if I'm alive but
I struggle to fight this drowning diver
Staring with endless sight
Into a darkened night
Taking in one last breath I dive into the unknown
Fighting for one last breath of life
To the endlessness I go

 

Oh god so much

Living Legends - Flawless

[youtube]KyF2gKDzsRA[/youtube]

It ain't over here it comes again
Hold it on my shoulders til I can't hold it in
Life ain't about what you see, it's what you did
And when you get that its time to go again

Cise Starr - Adrift

Crazy talk? Nah nah this is a old religion

Fuck the plasma televsion

all I want is clearer vision/

yes I need somebody because the pain is open/

Pop only call when he need money chosen/

grown man but I need another/

so got damn wheres my fucking brother, yes I miss my mother/

this is a old religion

a deeper meaning and teaching/

my eyes are open thinking

the feeling is just believing/

adrift/

like my relationship with others/

never get it right I'm too selfish undercover/

wanna change my ways but it takes a long time but at least I am aware its myself I wanna find/

bring it to the upmost the strong will survive not the the strong in the arm but the strong of the mind/

treat you how i treat myself yeah I know the golden rule

but if I treat myself like shit/

what am I to do to you/

Atmosphere also known as slug, haha speaks to me very intensely

[youtube]uxTd8Kd64w0[/youtube]

How many times must you prove you're an angel
How many more demons do you have to strangle
How much longer must you remain in this dream
Before I finally figure out if you're insane or a genius

Let no tears to fall from none of y'all
Just remember it all, the beauty as well as the flaws
L-O-V-E L-I-F-E
Here lies Sean, finally free
And as I look across the sea I smile at the sun
While it feeds the weeds the nutrition they need
The people still breathe, the city still bleeds
I'm going to love it to death and keep planting my seeds
I'm going to love it to death and keep an eye on the seeds
I'll be in love till im dead, I keep reaching the seeds
I'll give all I got left just to teach you to read
Love life to the death and keep planting my seeds
And when the soul begins to reap, I think she'll know me from the sleep
I keep caught in the corner of my bloodshot eyes
And if she has the nerve, to let me dump a couple last words
I'm gonna turn to the earth and scream (Love your life)

This song I can really relate too, like the most out of any song. Very mellow and depressing haha basically how I approach life under neath everything.

Dialed up his homie Murs on the telephone
Gotta talk to somebody who can tell him what the hell is wrong
Brain freezing up, he don't know what to do
But the people that know him know that it ain't nothing new
Catch five rings, then an answering machine
Hang up on the beep, stare up towards the ceiling
Stood up to remember that he slept fully-dressed
So he grabbed his keys and put a hat on his rat's nest
Stepped up to that big outside
Somebody once said "Today's a good day to die."
But he never really was a big fan of their work
So he starts up the walk by kicking sand in the dirt
A friend to the strangers, a stranger to friends
He'll take a coffee and a pack of cigarettes when you have a minute
Handle it. Paid up. The change, you can keep it
He's a sucker for the morning smile and summer cleavage
If you knew him better he'd ask for some time
Cause he's looking for a reservoir to empty his mind
And there's only so much he can put in a song
Gotta talk to somebody who can tell him what the hell is wrong

[Hook 2X]
And this house has gotta lot of walls
But only very few mean anything to you
And this house has gotta lot of walls
But only very few mean anything to you

No shop value to titillate
Far from shallow, so get it straight
Blacktop, sidewalk,and the street
Cause life is priceless and talk is cheap
And as he sits (as he sits) in his four-cornered room
Following a tune, born to consume
Carefully learning and analyzing the lyrics you use
Finally realizing that humility is a bruise
Scared love don't make none
If these walls could speak, they would peep about the fake ones
Watching this man, falling off of his plan-
Underachievin' just so he can understand.

What's up baby, how you doing? I hate the sound of my own voice and I've been invited here to distract myself from the fact that I wrote all of this garbage.

[Hook]

So, who did your tattoos?
That's nice
And who built your tabboos?
That's life
If he had a glass pipe, he would smash it and use it to slash his wrists
But someone already beat him to it
He would fingerpaint you a picture with his blood
A self-portrait, dramatic and morbid
But the odds of you finding any appreciation are too slim-
Keeps his outlook grim
Tap his foot to the rhythm of original sin
Throw his balls to the wind trying to know down these pins
He'll keep swinging from the hair above his chin
Till he finds his soul in the fifty cent bin
The price of the payphone escalates
Fake smile when he takes home one of his dates
He could write another hate-poem for you to break
Or maybe stay calm and wait for that big earthquake
Still surrounded by the fire and the water
Still trying to honor this empire's daughter
Still answering questions you're afraid to ask
Still believing that God's gonna save his ass

[Hook]

If you knew him better he'd ask for some time
Cause he's looking for a reservoir to empty his mind
And there's only so much he can put in a song
Gotta talk to somebody who can tell him what the hell is wrong

 

I love Reflection! And I love Mulan not to mention! This scene in particular touches me everytime because I relate so much to it!

 

Glass Hearts- Of Mice & Men

The scars on my body
They don't even bleed
I never do this for me

The scars on my body
They dont even bleed
I only do this for you to see!

How am I supposed to
See through your eyes?

When you never saw the stars
Were falling at your feet

What it means to me is: All of my scars (cuts) were because I want (insert name here) to see how much pain I feel, becuz he doesnt love me back. The last part is saying: How can I see his POV, when he can't see how much I love him. This songs makes me cry, becuz of how much I relate to it...

 

Natalie [Portman]'s Rap
SNL's Lonely Island feat. Natalie Portman

WARNING: Very... Assertive lyrics. Proceed with caution and the intrinsic knowledge that blowing Natalie's purposely emasculating bravado to ridiculous proportions is the joke

Spoiler

Yo, shut the fuck up and suck my dick

Pull up on NBC and smack the shit outta Jeff Zucker
What you want Natalie? (To drink and fight!)
What you need Natalie? (To fuck all night!)

Put my foot down your throat 'til your shit's in my shoe
Leave you screaming, pay for my dry-cleaning
Fuck your man it's my name that he's screaming!

[Interview #2]

Pierce The veil - Hold On Till May

She sits up high surrounded by the sun,
One million branches and she loves every one.
"Mom and dad, did you search for me?
I've been up here so long I'm going crazy"

The sun went down, we ended up on the ground
I heard the train shake the windows
You screamed over the sound,
And as we own this night,
I'll put your body to the test with mine.
This love was out of control,
3, 2, 1, where did it go?

Now don't be crazy yes now of course you can stay here.
(Been in a touring band for going on ten years)
"Big deal," she said, "I guess you're official!
I only said it because I know what it's like to feel burned out."

It gets you down,
We've all been there sometimes
But tonight, I'll make you feel beautiful once again.

And as the sun went down, we ended up on the ground.
I heard the train shake the windows,
You screamed over the sound.
And as we own this night,
I'll put your body to the test with mine.
This love was out of control,
3, 2, 1, where did it go?

If I were you, I'd put that away.
See, you're just wasted and
Thinking about the past again.
Darling, you'll be okay.

And she said,
"If you were me, you'd do the same
'Cause I can't take anymore
I'll draw the shades and close the door.
Everything's not alright and I would rather..."

And as the sun went down, we ended up on the ground
I heard the train shake the windows
You screamed over the sound.
And as we own this night,
I'll put your body to the test with mine.
This love was out of control,
Tell me where did it go?

The song relates to me so much that it's scary. This song talks about the singer having a friend try to commit suicide because her family neglected her. I'm going through a similar situation with my friend right now.:icon_sad:

 

Japanese lyrics tend not to get translated very well, and I don't know how meaningful it sounds in Japanese because I don't know the language. But I love the translated lyrics and hope they're accurate. I usually am just attracted to the beat and tune of Japanese songs because lyrics translated to English really sound weird sometimes, but this was one of the few ones that sounded pretty good translated.

Enigmatic Feeling by Ling Tosite Sigure

If I keep having things snatched away from me, I'm going to go insane
I've stopped breathing in the face of all these endings without end
Enigmatic Feeling

Must you keep taking things from me? I'm going to fall apart
The world's started to dissolve, and God descended and confronted me
Who are you?

I followed the world split in two and set myself free

It seems paper-thin, paper-thin. Is there only one god on the dividing line?
It's getting strange, getting strange, and you'll suddenly be taken away from me　

Frantic, frantic, a body in complete suspension. In my heart that won't come into focus
Shake me, shake me, a body in complete suspension. I can't even glance in the mirror

Only the nights that I can't kill softly embrace red
A puzzle without an answer and my voice glared at the pieces
Enigmatic Feeling

If I keep having things snatched away from me, I'm going to go insane. In this slumbering forest,
I overcame the infinite future. I'm floating, a body suspended in air
Where are you?

I followed the world split in two and cut myself off
The scars of touching the truth will never disappear

It seems paper-thin, paper-thin. Is there only one god on the dividing line?
It's getting strange, getting strange, and you'll suddenly be taken away from me　
Frantic, frantic, a body in complete suspension. In my heart that won't come into focus
Shake me, shake me, a body in complete suspension. I can't even glance in the mirror

In just a little bit, in just a little bit, when you suddenly understand the answers,
It'll get painful, it'll get painful, and I'll suddenly break down
But forgive me, forgive me. I'll be gone, so just believe that you killed me

 

I like "Lied vom Scheitern" (Song of Failure) by Die Ärzte because it's about being true to yourself. Here's a link to the lyrics with an English translation:

Translation of "Lied vom Scheitern" by Die Ärzte from German to English

Also I like "Perfekt" by the same band because it's one of the only love songs I've ever heard about how love isn't perfect and your partner isn't perfect but if you love each other that's what matters. So many other love songs are about how your partner is perfect and/or makes you perfectly miserable and not about the way love really is.

Here's a link with translation:

Translation of "Perfekt" by Die Ärzte from German to English

Now I've talked about my music obsession in two threads so it's probably time to go to bed.

 

lady gaga- Born this way

and

lana del rey-Ride


Don't break me down
I've been travelin' too long
I've been trying too hard
With one pretty song

I hear the birds on the summer breeze,
I drive fast, I am alone in midnight
Been tryin' hard not to get into trouble,
But I, I've got a war in my mind
So, I just ride, just ride,
I just ride, just ride
