Epona Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 This song so speaks me! My favourite version is off the Symphony and Metallica c.d. Hero of the Day by Metallica: Mama they try and break me The window burns to light the way back home A light that warms no matter where they've gone They're off to find the hero of the day But what if they should fall by someone's wicked way Still the window burns Time so slowly turns And someone there is sighing Keepers of the flames Do ya feel your name? Can't you hear your babies crying? Mama they try and break me Still they try and break me 'Scuse me while I tend to how I feel These things return to me that still seem real Now deservingly this easy chair But the rocking stopped by wheels of despair Don't want your aid But the first I've make For years can't hold or feel No, I'm not all me So please excuse me While I tend to how I feel But now the dreams and waking screams That ever last the night So build the wall, behind it Crawl and hide until it's light So can't you hear your babies cryin' now? Still the window burns Time so slowly turns And someone there is sighing Keepers of the flames Can't you hear your names? Can't you hear your babies crying? But now the dreams and waking screams That ever last the night So build the wall, behind it Crawl and hide until it's light So can't you hear your babies cryin' now? Mama they try and break me Mama they try and break me Mama they try and break me Mama they try Mama they try Mama they try and break me Mama they try and break me Mama they try and break me Mama they try Mama they try Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluefairytale Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 I've never posted in this thread before, mainly because I have so many song lyrics to contribute that I would be in danger of taking over! So I'll do my best not to. This song was an early 'survivor' song for me.... Torn - Natalie Imruglia I thought I saw a man brought to life He was warm He came around like he was dignified He showed me what it was to cry Well you couldn't be that man I adored You don't seem to know Seem to care what your heart is for But I don't know him anymore There's nothing where he used to lie My conversation has run dry That's what's going on Nothing's fine I'm torn I'm all out of faith This is how I feel I'm cold and I am shamed Lying naked on the floor Illusion never changed Into something real I'm wide awake And I can see The perfect sky is torn You're a little late I'm already torn So I guess the fortune teller's right Should have seen just what was there And not some holy light Which crawled beneath my veins And now I don't care I had no luck I don't miss it all that much There's just so many things That I can touch I'm torn I'm all out of faith This is how I feel I'm cold and I am shamed Lying naked on the floor Illusion never changed Into something real I'm wide awake And I can see The perfect sky is torn You're a little late I'm already torn Torn There's nothing where he used to lie My inspiration has run dry That's what's going on Nothing's right I'm torn I'm all out of faith This is how I feel I'm cold and I am shamed Lying naked on the floor Illusion never changed Into something real I'm wide awake And I can see The perfect sky is torn I'm all out of faith This is how I feel I'm cold and I'm ashamed Bound and broken on the floor You're a little late I'm already torn Torn..

bluefairytale Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 Just a couple more for today... (note - first one may trigger a tiny bit ??? I don't know?) Breaking the Habit - Linkin' Park Memories consume Like opening the wound I'm picking me apart again You all assume I'm safe here in my room [unless I try to start again] I don't want to be the one The battles always choose 'Cause inside I realize That i'm the one confused I don't know what's worth fighting for Or why I have to scream I don't know why I instigate And say what I don't mean I don't know how I got this way I know it's not alright So I'm breaking the habit Tonight Clutching my cure I tightly lock the door I try to catch my breath again I hurt much more Than anytime before I had no options left again I'll paint it on the walls 'Cause i'm the one at fault I'll never fight again And this is how it ends I don't know what's worth fighting for Or why I have to scream But now I have some clarity To show you what I mean I don't know how I got this way I'll never be alright So I'm breaking the habit Breaking the Habit Tonight END OF And my 'survivor song of the moment', even though everyone else (no doubt all of the UK population) is oh-so-sick of it... I LOVE it..... "Bad Day" - Daniel Powter Where is the moment we needed the most You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost They tell me your blue skies fade to grey They tell me your passion's gone away And I don't need no carryin' on You stand in the line just to hit a new low You're faking a smile with the coffee to go You tell me your life's been way off line You're falling to pieces everytime And I don't need no carryin' on Cause you had a bad day You're taking one down You sing a sad song just to turn it around You say you don't know You tell me don't lie You work at a smile and you go for a ride You had a bad day The camera don't lie You're coming back down and you really don't mind You had a bad day You had a bad day Well you need a blue sky holiday The point is they laugh at what you say And I don't need no carryin' on You had a bad day You're taking one down You sing a sad song just to turn it around You say you don't know You tell me don't lie You work at a smile and you go for a ride You had a bad day The camera don't lie You're coming back down and you really don't mind You had a bad day (Oh.. Holiday..) Sometimes the system goes on the blink And the whole thing turns out wrong You might not make it back and you know That you could be well oh that strong And I'm not wrong So where is the passion when you need it the most Oh you and I You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost Cause you had a bad day You're taking one down You sing a sad song just to turn it around You say you don't know You tell me don't lie You work at a smile and you go for a ride You had a bad day You've seen what you like And how does it feel for one more time You had a bad day You had a bad day Had a bad day Had a bad day Had a bad day Had a bad day Had a bad day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haullie Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 Watch the VIDEO here: http://americanidols.blogdrive.com/ I think this is a very inspirational song! JESUS TAKE THE WHEEL By: Carrie Underwood She was driving last Friday on her way to Cincinnati On a snow white Christmas Eve Going home to see her Mama and her Daddy with the baby in the backseat Fifty miles to go and she was running low on faith and gasoline It would been a long hard year She had a lot on her mind and she didn't pay attention She was going way to fast Before she knew it she was spinning on a thin black sheet of glass She saw both their lives flash before her eyes She didn't even have time to cry She was sooo scared She threw her hands up in the air Jesus take the wheel Take it from my hands Cause I can't do this all on my own I'm letting go So give me one more chance To save me from this road I'm on Jesus take the wheel It was still getting colder when she made it to the shoulder And the car came to a stop She cried when she saw that baby in the backseat sleeping like a rock And for the first time in a long time She bowed her head to pray She said I'm sorry for the way I've been living my life I know I've got to change So from now on tonight Jesus take the wheel Take it from my hands Cause I can't do this all my own I'm letting go So give me one more chance To save me from this road I'm on Oh, Jesus take the wheel Oh, I'm letting go So give me one more chance Save me from this road I'm on From this road I'm on Jesus take the wheel Oh, take it, take it from me Oh, why, oh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kate Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 I loved these songs by Hole when I was younger. I think they were my anthems or something. They may be a little t for some people maybe. they're not exactly inspirational but i found them healing. to hear something i could relate to. Asking For It by Hole Every time that I sell myself to you I feel a little bit cheaper than I need to I will tear the devil out of you Rose red, I will make you tell the truth Was she asking for it? Was she asking nice? If she was asking for it Did she ask you twice? Every time that I stare into the sun Angel dust and my dress just comes undone Every time that I stare into the sun Be a model or just look like one Wild eye rot gut do me in Do you think you can make me do that again? Was she asking for it? Was she asking nice? If she was asking for it Did she ask you twice? If you live through this with me I swear that I would die for you And if you live through this with me I swear that I would die for you I don't care about what you do Yeah, you walk in the room Yeah, I'm impressed You know your reason for living I still haven't guessed Dicknail by Hole Hey, Daddy Come over here Got something for you Dicknail She liked it You know she liked it Well, she was asking for it Dicknail I said, I said stop I did what you said I did what you want I was a good girl I was a good girl I was a good girl I said, I said, I said, I said NO! Hey, Daddy One thing's for certain, baby You have my guarantee You won't forget me I said, I said stop I did what you said I did what you want I was a good girl I was a good girl I was a good girl I said, I said, I said, I said NO! Do you remember Christmas morning? You know it's real because Well, here comes Santa Claus She liked it You know she liked it Fat claw on your sack Fall on, on your sack Claw, claw, claw, claw I'll only post two songs now because otherwise I could start my own entire FORUM of songs I love!

Tangles Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 This song helped me immensely over the years. I played it on repeat many, many times. It's one of those songs that resonates so deeply you just sigh. U2 Lyrics - Walk On And love is not the easy thing The only baggage you can bring... And love is not the easy thing... The only baggage you can bring Is all that you can't leave behind And if the darkness is to keep us apart And if the daylight feels like it's a long way off And if your glass heart should crack And for a second you turn back Oh no, be strong Walk on, walk on What you got, they can't steal it No they can't even feel it Walk on, walk on Stay safe tonight... You're packing a suitcase for a place none of us has been A place that has to be believed to be seen You could have flown away A singing bird in an open cage Who will only fly, only fly for freedom Walk on, walk on What you got they can't deny it Can't sell it or buy it Walk on, walk on Stay safe tonight And I know it aches And your heart it breaks And you can only take so much Walk on, walk on Home...hard to know what it is if you never had one Home...I can't say where it is but I know I'm going home That's where the heart is I know it aches How your heart it breaks And you can only take so much Walk on, walk on Leave it behind You've got to leave it behind All that you fashion All that you make All that you build All that you break All that you measure All that you steal All this you can leave behind All that you reason All that you sense All that you speak All you dress up All that you scheme...

Kate Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 As you might soon tell I don't really heal from happy inspirational songs. Not sure why, I just find it more cathartic and validating and healing to listen to songs about hurt and sadness. It makes me feel more understood, if somebody i don't even know has written a song that resonates within my own thoughts... Don't Tell a Soul - by Katatonia I have been destroyed by the perfection that is life see I'm moving soon see my feet are already on the road and if you know where I'm going don't tell a soul I live all for this thing that I heard someone sing when you have noone noone can hurt you IT WAS SO EASY TO SEE HOW FUCKING GOOD IT ALL COULD BE For My Demons - Katatonia well I'm here and summer is gone I hear so pray for me as I now leave your town when did I say this I will never leave I can't recall this moment in my life you would never sleep at night if you knew what I've been through and this thought is all I have to trust upon when light is gone my problem was that you kept me here too long and today is when we'll regret that I came by when did I say this I will never leave I can't recall this moment in my life life is full of darkness and murderers come my way someday you will join them and I will let you in I Am Nothing - Katatonia tonight I'm nothing it doesn't matter where I've been delay of reaction is the unseen movie of this life I remember one of my friends telling me to go ahead water on every side there's a dead spot in my eye if I listen close at night there's something coming my way like someone called my name but I didn't care to look that way I just fixed my eyes into the crowd it would have been strange to turn around if you would tell me that I was someone then for a second I would think just like I would try to consider how it would feel to know I have to get on with this it's a decision for tonight out to look for chances it is murder of my mind once I was someone new I was chosen for a while then with time I am changing at least that is what they say what is worth with being here I pray so often for a change -- Kate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pixie Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 (edited) this isn't how i feel right now but i just came across this new album. It sounds like a survivor song except one or two lines. Not ready to make nice Forgive, sounds good Forget, I’m not sure I could They say time heals everything But I’m still waiting I’m through with doubt There’s nothing left for me to figure out I’ve paid a price And I’ll keep paying I’m not ready to make nice I’m not ready to back down I’m still mad as hell and I don’t have time to go round and round and round It’s too late to make it right I probably wouldn’t if I could ‘Cause I’m mad as hell Can’t bring myself to do what it is you think I should I know you said Can’t you just get over it It turned my whole world around And I kind of like it I made my bed and I sleep like a baby With no regrets and I don’t mind sayin’ It’s a sad sad story when a mother will teach her Daughter that she ought to hate a perfect stranger And how in the world can the words that I said Send somebody so over the edge That they’d write me a letter Sayin’ that I better shut up and sing Or my life will be over I’m not ready to make nice I’m not ready to back down I’m still mad as hell and I don’t have time to go round and round and round It’s too late to make it right I probably wouldn’t if I could ‘Cause I’m mad as hell Can’t bring myself to do what it is you think I should I’m not ready to make nice I’m not ready to back down I’m still mad as hell and I don’t have time to go round and round and round It’s too late to make it right I probably wouldn’t if I could ‘Cause I’m mad as hell Can’t bring myself to do what it is you think I should Forgive, sounds good Forget, I’m not sure I could They say time heals everything But I’m still waiting http://www.dixiechicks.com/ ""This album was total therapy," says Natalie Maines.

pixie Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 (edited) this song is a cross between a trigger and a harbinger for me. It came out just when i was raped and i used to watch it like it could divine something for me. Like it would tell me the answer to the mystery. what the hell is going on here? Orton Beth Lyrics - She Cries Your Name Lyrics Falling from the western selves To find yourself alone again Wonderin' where you have been. Your lonely voice Calls across the star lit coast Reaching out to be seen. She cries your name Three times again She cries your name How long can this love remain? Cut beneath the surface screen Of what we say and what we seem Is a truth to be seen? She keeps cryin out your name But her scream sounds the same How fickle fate can be... She cries your name Three times again She cries your name How long can this love remain? Birds would scream for territory Can learn to sing euphorically Give a hand time and hands ring out And there's a wasteland in your soul The burned out trees would leave you cold Leave a hand out and I'll deal She cries your name Three times again She cries your name How long can this love remain? She cries your name Twelve times again She cries your name How long can this love remain? http://www.lyricsdownload.com/orton-beth-s...ame-lyrics.html you can hear her current music here: http://bethorton.astralwerks.com/ Edited March 17, 2006 by pixie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thriver Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 For a long time the chorus of this song was like my mantra. I'd use it while I was doing grounding exercises to help with my flashbacks. It's from "Perfect Girl" on Sarah McLachlan's "Afterglow." Don't worry you will find the answer if you let it go give yourself some time to falter But don't forgo knowing that you're loved no matter what and everything will come around in time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dew_drops Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 This song always made me feel better. It's not really a soft smooth type of song. It's more of a giving it back to my attacker, but only certain parts of the song apply to giving it back to the attacker. I dunno. It always made me feel good. I would blast the song and just scream out the lyrics like I was telling my attacker off! " Head like a Hole" By: Nine Inch Nails (NIN) god money i'll do anything for you god money just tell me what you want me to god money nail me up against the wall god money don't want everything he wants it all no, you can't take it no, you can't take it no, you can't take that away from me no, you can't take it no, you can't take it no, you can't take that away from me head like a hole black as your soul i'd rather die than give you control head like a hole black as your soul i'd rather die than give you control bow down before the one you serve you're going to get what you deserve bow down before the one you serve you're going to get what you deserve god money's not looking for the cure god money's not concerned about the sick among the pure god money let's go dancing on the backs of the bruised god money's not one to choose no, you can't take it no, you can't take it no, you can't take that away from me head like a hole black as your soul i'd rather die than give you control head like a hole black as your soul i'd rather die than give you control bow down before the one you serve you're going to get what you deserve bow down before the one you serve you're going to get what you deserve bow down before the one you serve you're going to get what you deserve bow down before the one you serve you're going to get what you deserve head like a hole black as your soul i'd rather die than give you control head like a hole black as your soul i'd rather die than give you control bow down before the one you serve you're going to get what you deserve bow down before the one you serve you're going to get what you deserve bow down before the one you serve (ow ow) you're going to get what you deserve (ow ow) bow down before the one you serve (ow ow) you're going to get what you deserve (ow ow) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dew_drops Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 I found this song while I was searching for a new song to put on my myspace profile. I instantly became addicted to it. For me, listening to it, kinda gives me power and also I believe it tells the impact that our attacker has on our lives to this day... "HAUNTED" by Evanescence Long lost words whisper slowly to me Still can't find what keeps me here When all this time I've been so hollow inside I know you're still there Watching me, wanting me I can feel you pull me down Fearing you loving you I won't let you pull me down Hunting you I can smell you - alive Your heart pounding in my head Watching me, wanting me I can feel you pull me down Saving me, raping me, watching me Watching me, wanting me I can feel you pull me down Fearing you... loving you I won't let you pull me down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
