Song Lyrics

Marie' Digby

Are you alive?
Show me you're human
Can you feel, feel, feel?

Show me, hold me, speak up and tell me something
Change my mind before it's too late
Are you alive?
Show me you're human
Can you feel, feel, feel?

Whoa
Are you dead?
Can you feel?

 

As much as I want to say "Bachelorette" by Bjork, it has to be my favorite song ever:

1979 by the Smashing Pumpkins

This song always makes me feel sad for some reason.

Shakedown 1979, cool kids never have the time
On a live wire right up off the street
You and I should meet
Junebug skipping like a stone
With the headlights pointed at the dawn
We were sure we'd never see an end to it all
And I don't even care to shake these zipper blues
And we don't know
Just where our bones will rest
To dust I guess
Forgotten and absorbed into the earth below
Double cross the vacant and the bored
They're not sure just what we have in store
Morphine city slippin dues down to see
That we don't even care as restless as we are
We feel the pull in the land of a thousand guilts
And poured cement, lamented and assured
To the lights and towns below
Faster than the speed of sound
Faster than we thought we'd go, beneath the sound of hope
Justine never knew the rules,
Hung down with the freaks and the ghouls
No apologies ever need be made, I know you better than you fake it
To see that we don't even care to shake these zipper blues
And we don't know just where our bones will rest
To dust I guess
Forgotten and absorbed into the earth below
The street heats the urgency of sound
As you can see there's no one around

 

Symbolic by Death is an amazing song. The lyrics really remind of my own childhood and the times when I have felt like a kid again. Another reason why I like it because it shows how death metal bands are really talented and it's actually not just random screaming as many people think.

I don't mean to dwell
But I can't help myself
When I feel the vibe
And taste a memory
Of a time in life
When years seemed to stand still

I close my eyes
And sink within myself
Relive the gift of precious memories
In need of a fix called innocence

When did it begin?
The change to come was undetectable
The open wounds expose the importance of
Our innocence
A high that can never be bought or sold

Symbolic acts - so vivid
Yet at the same time
Were invisible

Savor what you feel and what you see
Things that may not seem important now
But may be tomorrow

Do you remember when
Things seemed so eternal?
Heroes were so real...
Their magic frozen in time
The only way to learn
Is be aware and hold on tight

I close my eyes
And sink within myself
Relive the gift of precious memories
In need of a fix called innocence

When did it begin?
The change to come was undetectable
The open wounds expose the importance of
Our innocence
A high that can never be bought or sold

Symbolic acts - so vivid
Yet at the same time
Were invisible

 

Changes
Turn and face the strange
Don't tell them to grow up and out of it
Changes
Turn and face the stranger
Where's your shame
You've left us up to our necks in it
Time may change me
But you can't trace time

Changes - David Bowie

 

What We Will Never Know - Innerpartysystem

Stare into the sun
To see the face for once
All the weakness shows
Too tired to lift the arms
That hold onto the stars
That watch me as I sleep

I wanna believe in someone
I wanna believe in something
I wanna believe that I can love again
I wanna believe in someone
I wanna believe in something
I wanna believe that I can love again

The fire came and went
Took everything away
The bruises never heal
I try to take a breath
To say what wasn't said
But there is nothing left of me now
There is nothing left

I wanna believe in someone
I wanna believe in something
I wanna believe that I can love again
I wanna believe in someone
I wanna believe in something
I wanna believe that I can love again

[repeat]

And one day you will
You will love again
One day you will love again
But I can't
Love again

 

True Colours - Glee Soundtrack (That just happens to be the version I heard first but there are others who have sung it, for example Kasey Chambers.)

I think that I love this song st the moment, because it typifies how I feel about me and about who I am.

You with the sad eyes
Don't be discouraged
Oh I realize
It's hard to take courage
In a world full of people
You can lose sight of it all
And the darkness inside you
Makes you feel so small

But I see your true colours
Shining through
I see your true colours
And that's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let them show your,
True colours
Your true colours
Are beautiful, like a rainbow

Show me your smile then,
Don't be unhappy, can't remember when,
I last saw you laughing
If this world makes you crazy
And you've taken all you can bear
You call me up
Because you know I'll be there

And I see your true colours
Shining through
I see your true colours
And that's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let them show your,
True colours
Your true colours
Are beautiful, like a rainbow

If this world makes you crazy
And you've taken all you can bear
You call me up
Because you know I'll be there

And I see your true colours
Shining through
I see your true colours
And that's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let them show your,
True colours
Your true colours
Your true colours are shining through
I see your true colours
And that’s why I love you
So don’t be afraid to let them show,
Your true colours
Your true colours
Are beautiful, like a rainbow.

 

He ate my heart.

Gravity - A Perfect Circle


Lost again, broken and weary
Unable to find my way
Tail in hand, dizzy and clearly
Unable to just let this go

I am surrendering to gravity and the unknown
Catch me, heal me,
Lift me back up to the sun
I choose to live...

I fell again, like a baby
Unable to stand on my own
Tail in hand, dizzy and clearly
Unable to just let this go

I am surrendering to gravity and the unknown
Catch me, heal me
Lift me back up to the sun
I choose to live...
I choose to live...
I choose to live...

Catch me, heal me
Lift me back up to the sun
Help me survive the bottom

Calm these hands before they
Snare another pill and
Drive another nail down
Another needy hole
Please release me...

I am surrendering to the gravity and the unknown
Catch me heal me
Lift me back up to the sun
I choose to live...
I choose to live...

 

A girl in my year at school died a year ago (nearly to the day), and this was her favourite song. Although I didn't know her all that well, her death was the first I had experienced so it really affected me...

This song has just been impregnated into all of our minds and I don't think we will ever forget it.

P.S. I was just at a community christmas party and I saw and old guy (60-70) line dancing by himself to LoveGame.

 

One - Bee Gees

I feel my heartbeat,
when you run your fingers through my hair.
(Yeah) I can feel you,
I can feel you by my side when you're not there.
(Yeah) Just as my life fades to darkness
you you make me see the light.
Show me that my search is over
I pay the price, I pay the price.

Tell you someday Baby, you and I should be one, one.
Do it always, brighter than the eye can see, we hide the sun.

The taste of love is sweeter like honey on the vine,
like the wind that feeds the fire, two souls become entwined.
Someday baby you and I should be one, one.

VERSE 2:
So I'm standing 'round this corner
Tall enough to touch the New York sky, oh yes
My love is so blind
I just cannot hear or see the world go by, oh yes
Someone can love so completely
One kiss should break the sea.
Truth can be stranger than fiction
This love is real
This love is real.

Tell you someday Baby, you and I should be one, one.
Do it always, brighter than the eye can see, we hide the sun.

Ah we are one, we are one.

VERSE 3:
I will follow
Count on me, I'll never let you down, oh yes
My devotion
If love is an ocean I'll surely drown, oh yes
You'll be my only possession
I'll be a slave to you
We hold the power together
Just me and you
Just me and you.

Tell you someday Baby, you and I should be one, one.
Do it always, brighter than the eye can see, we hide the sun.
Tell you someday Baby, you and I should be one, one.

[You know my life is in your hands,
and every breath you take is planned
and all this love goes on forever.]

Tell you someday Baby, you and I should be one, one.
Do it someday Baby, you and I should be one, one.
Do it someday Baby, you and I should be one, one....

 

Blitz - Rishloo

I turn from the world but the world turns me
They show you the way but I can't even breathe
So I grit my gnashing teeth against a fence I
cannot see
And wish to fuckin' Hell there was no in-between

Secondly but first of all, just because and why
I list the constant questions I kept 'em all
inside
But you won't give your thoughts to me so I won't
give you mine
And you won't waste your words on me so I won't
waste
your time

You betray everything when you refuse to see
The truth of your trial is lost so listlessly
You watch us go by as we laugh and we cry
You look down and realize you're not who you think
Could there be anything?

Embracing the pendulum so I do not fall behind
And I'm weaker than the next in line
So I'll do my best to represent the evidence of
all that I've spoken

With a withered, twisted finger you're turnin'
back the time
With a withered, twisted finger you push 'em all
in line
And you smash to fuckin' bits your world when
everything's alright
And you smash to fuckin' bits my world when
everything is fine

With a withered, twisted finger you're turnin' back
the time
With a withered, twisted finger you push 'em all in
line
And you smash to fuckin' bits your world when
everything's alright
And you smash to fuckin' bits my world when everything
is fine

You betray everything when you refuse to see
The truth of your trial is lost so listlessly
You watch us go by as we laugh and we cry
You look down and realize you're not who you think
Could there be anything?

Embracing the pendulum so I do not fall behind
And I'm weaker than the next in line
So I'll do my best to represent the evidence of
all that I've spoken

Watch the world go by you
Each time
Feel this one day, forget the next
Live life through lies
Empty inside
Wondering why
Just give it up you're not for real
Don't know a thing about how I feel
You're just a lie because you try
To believe
What you won't see and nothing's true
If you give up and if you lose
And run away when things get gray
I won't be left when you confess
When you admit you're full of shit
I can't comply and take your side
I understand that's all you have
But it's just not enough
There'll never be anything
To justify your wasted life
You've fallen so far behind
And we're weak as our one best try
So I'll let it fall and die away and whatever's
left is forgotten
Forgotten​

 

The Doughnut Song-by Tori Amos

had me a trick and a kick and your message
you’ll never gain weight from a doughnut hole
then thought that I could decipher your message
there’s no one here dear
no one at all

and if I’m wasting all your time this time
maybe you never learned to take
and if I’m hanging on to your shade
I guess I’m way beyond the pale

and southern men can grow gold
can grow pertty (pretty)
blood can be pertty (pretty)
like a delicate man
copper to steel to a hinge that is faltered
that lets you in lets you in lets you in

and if I’m wasting all your time this time
I guess you never learned to take
and if I’m hanging on to your shade
I guess I’m way beyond the pale

something’s just keeping you numb

you told me last night
you were a sun now
with your very own devoted satellite
happy for you
and I am sure that I hate you
two sons too many too many able fires, hey, yes

and you’ve been wasting all my time this time
I said you never learned to take
and if I’m hanging on to your shade
I guess I’m way beyond the pale
I guess I’m way beyond the pale

had me a trick and a kick and your message
you’ll never gain weight from a doughnut hole
​

Really to some, the song may seem like a bunch of nonsense, but i get it. Its about hanging onto someone you know doesn't want to be with you, doesn't know that you want to be with them, or is just better off without you because they're their own being. "you told me last night you were a sun now..." perfectly illustrates that. like, yeah your a sun (with even a devoted satellite), but maybe i need you, and perhaps you need me. Im sure this song applies to more of you than you think. And like a delicate man, its pertty

 

Such a great song... It expresses some feelings that I've had for people.

Crash and Burn by Savage Garden

When you feel all alone
And the world has turned its back on you
Give me a moment please to tame your wild wild heart
I know you feel like the walls are closing in on you
It's hard to find relief and people can be so cold
When darkness is upon your door and you feel like you can't take anymore

Let me be the one you call
If you jump I'll break your fall
Lift you up and fly away with you into the night
If you need to fall apart
I can mend a broken heart
If you need to crash then crash and burn
You're not alone

When you feel all alone
And a loyal friend is hard to find
You're caught in a one way street
With the monsters in your head
When hopes and dreams are far away and
You feel like you can't face the day

Let me be the one you call
If you jump I'll break your fall
Lift you up and fly away with you into the night
If you need to fall apart
I can mend a broken heart
If you need to crash then crash and burn
You're not alone

'Cause there has always been heartache and pain
And when it's over you'll breathe again
You'll breath again

When you feel all alone
And the world has turned its back on you
Give me a moment please
To tame your wild wild heart

Let me be the one you call
If you jump I'll break your fall
Lift you up and fly away with you into the night
If you need to fall apart
I can mend a broken heart
If you need to crash then crash and burn
You're not alone

 

I used to be obsessed with this song, drove my friends absolutely insane.

 

I just love this song. Again - Yui. I managed to remember most of it in Japanese but never got around to the English side. Turns out it's a little more emo than I thought.


English (Translated):

I am supposed to pursue my dream
in this narrow winding road, stuttering in the crowds of people

It's not that I want to return to that past,
I am just searching for the sky I have lost.
I hope you understand.
Don't show the sad face as if you have been sacrificed.

Tears do not end a sin. We have to carry it with us through
in this maze of feelings with no ends in sight.
Who am I waiting for?
As scribbled on the blank note, I want to be more honest.
What do I want to escape from?
Is it this thing called "reality"?

"For what am I living?"
In the middle of the night as my memories are fading.
I can't play safe anymore,
but there is nowhere to go too.
There's still so much in life to remove this feeling.
I will feel nostalgic about it.
I welcome this pain.

I have to apologize for this. Ah, I'm sorry.
I can't say it well. I'm just causing worries.

Everything that I embraced that day.
Everything that I will embrace tomorrow
I will not arrange them in any order.
I hope you understand. I closed my eyes
but I could still see things I do not want to see.

Unnecessary rumours that I hear for the first time, so what?
"Face it and you will be friends"
Don't tell lies like these.
My heart being agitated from deep inside,
a burning sensation runs through my body.
Actually I'm expecting something
from this thing called "reality".

"For what am I living?"
I want to shout it out loud. Can you hear me?
I can't play safe anymore,
but there is nowhere to go too.
I am grateful for all the kindness,
so I want to become stronger to march on.
I do welcome friends and foes.

How do I open the next door? I'm thinking.
The unretractable story has begun.
Open your eyes. Open your eyes.

There is still so much in life to remove this feeling.
I want to start all over again so that I can complete what I haven't done.
Shall we go AGAIN?

"For what am I living?"
I want to shout it out loud. Can you hear me?
I can't play safe anymore,
but there is nowhere to go too.
I am grateful for all the kindness,
so I want to become stronger. I feel the nostalgia.
I welcome this pain.

Peaceful World (John Mellencamp)
*All of his music is great, by the way. I put just one of my favorite lines in bold. It speaks volumes to me, especially when I think about all the people who are trying to take our right to marriage away.

Come on baby take a ride with me
I'm up from indiana down to tennessee
Everything is cool as can be
In a peaceful world

People know this world is a wreck
We're sick and tired of being politically correct
If I see through it now but I didn't at first
The hypocrites made it worse and worse
Lookin' down their noses at what people say
These are just words and words are okay
It's what you do and not what you say
If you're not part of the future then get out of the way

Come on baby take a ride with me
I'm up from indiana down to tennessee
Everything is cool as can be
In a peaceful world

Racism lives in the u.s. today
Better get hip to what martin luther king had to say
I don't want my kids being brought up this way
Hatred to each other is not okay
Well I'm not a preacher just a singer son
But I can see more work to be done
It's what you do and not what you say
If you're not part of the future then get out of the way

Come on baby take a ride with me
I'm up from indiana down to tennessee
Everything is cool as can be
In a peaceful world

Lay back the top and ride with me
I'm up from indiana down to tennessee
Everything is cool as can be
In a peaceful world

The money's good and the work is okay
Looks like everything is rollin our way
'til you gotta look the devil in the eye
You know that bastard's one big lie
So be careful with your heart and what you love
Make sure that it was sent from above
It's what you do and not what you say
If you're not part of the future then get out of the way

Come on baby take a ride with me
I'm up from indiana down to tennessee
Everything is cool as can be
In a peaceful world

Lay back the top and ride with me
I'm up from indiana down to tennessee
Everything is cool as can be
In a peaceful world

Hey yeah
Hey yeah
Hey yeah
Hey yeah

 

two Tori songs on one page? guess what, i dont care

these tears I’ve cried
I’ve cried 1000 oceans
and if it seems I’m floating
in the darkness well
I can’t believe that
I would keep
keep you from flying
and I would cry 1000 more
if that’s what it takes to
sail you home. sail you home.
sail you home.

I’m aware what the rules are
but you know that I will run
you know that I will follow you
over Silbury hill
through the solar field
you know that I will follow you

and if I find you will you still
remember playing at the trains
or does that little blue ball
just fade away

over Silbury hill
though the solar field
you know that I will follow you
I’m aware what the rules are
but you know that I will run
you know that I will follow you

these tears I’ve cried
I’ve cried 1000 oceans
and if it seems I’m floating
in the darkness well
I can’t believe that
I would keep
keep you from flying
so I will cry 1000 more
if that’s what it takes to
sail you home. sail you home.
sail. sail you home.

this is my new favorite thread :icon_bigg

Flying High by Jem

You can't know, oh no
you can't know
how much I think about you, no
It's making my head spin
Looking at you
and you are looking at me
and we both know what we want
hmmm, so close to giving in

Feel so nice
oh yeah you feel so nice
wish I could spend the night
but I can't pay the price
oh no, no

But I'm flying so high
high off the ground
when you're around
And I can feel your high
rocking me inside
it's too much to hide

I know, oh yes
I know that we can't
be together
but, I just like to dream
It's so strange
the way our paths have crossed
how we were brought together
hmmm, it's written in the stars it seems
Feel so nice
oh yeah you feel so nice
I'd love to spend the night
but I can't pay the price
oh no, no

And I'm flying so high
high off the ground
when you're around
And I can feel your high
touching me inside
and it's too much to hide

Back to earth
where did you take me to
I know there's no such thing
As painless love
well it'll catch us up
and we can never win
But ohhh
I feel so alive
ohhh
Just wanna hold you
hold you so tight

And I'm flying so high
high off the ground
when you're around
And I can feel your high
touching me inside
and it's too much to hide
And I'm flying so high
high off the ground
when you're around

 

Since there are so many posts in this thread I didn't read them all, but I will read future postings, so I'm not sure if this has been posted already but the chorus from the Goo Goo Dolls' "Iris", basically sums up how I feel about coming out to everyone.

And I don't want the world to see me
Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am​
