bailey Posted April 18, 2004 Share Posted April 18, 2004 this one's been going through my head non-stop since i first heard it. i only just listened to the lyrics today...parts of it just strike something in me: Nelly Furtado (aka "shrill harpy", as per my bf!) "Try" All I know Is everything is not as it's sold but the more I grow the less I know And I have lived so many lives Though I'm not old And the more I see, the less I grow The fewer the seeds the more I sow Then I see you standing there Wanting more from me And all I can do is try Then I see you standing there Wanting more from me And all I can do is try I wish I hadn't seen all of the realness And all the real people are really not real at all The more I learn the more I cry As I say goodbye to the way of life I thought I had designed for me Then I see you standing there Wanting more from me And all I can do is try Then I see you standing there I'm all I'll ever be But all I can do is try Try All of the moments that already passed We'll try to go back and make them last All of the things we want each other to be We never will be And that's wonderful, and that's life And that's you, baby This is me, baby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cira Posted April 24, 2004 Share Posted April 24, 2004 I found a link to this song on the RAINN website the other day, and found the song empowering. There is something so healing about singing "I'm not afraid anymore" that I just love. You can also listen to it here. I'm Not Afraid Anymore ~ by Lourds Walk away Walk away I don't want to know Locked away Let me out 'cause I can't let go I didn't want to think a lot about it 'Cause it's not as safe inside my mind But now that I have lost my breath from running I will not hide this time I'm not afraid anymore I'm not afraid anymore I'm not afraid anymore So help me I'll survive I see the shapes In the dark, hear the silence loud I wanna play in this mud Will you show me how? I should have known the sun will rise tomorrow But then again I think it rose today There's no time to be a slave to sorrow When I've got so much to say I'm not afraid anymore I'm not afraid anymore I'm not afraid anymore And I know I will survive If every rainbow's lacking color And no one colors in the lines If every line that's said is crooked And the crooked set the time, I will survive If every face becomes a needle And all I need - to bleed in peace Every piece of me grows stronger 'Cause my strength of will won't cease. And I will survive. I will survive. I will survive. I will survive. I'm not afraid anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
map75773 Posted April 24, 2004 Share Posted April 24, 2004 This song always makes me cry. I guess it's not very healing but it says exactly how I've felt since that day. No More Good Guys By Skindive i died today, but i'm still breathing, bleeding, for now, i'm broken you left me here capsized and sinking thinking, right now there's no more good guys you left me standing here alone and colder i hope that some day soon the pain inside will stop you died today, but you're still breathing in my mind, that is, there's no more good guys you left me standing here alone and colder i hope that some day soon the pain inside will stop i hoped you'd see me i hoped you'd understand or crucify me for my failings my cruel ambition hardly justified and the pain inside will stop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickey Posted May 14, 2004 Share Posted May 14, 2004 This is a love song but it's really good. I thought i would share with you all. Because this song makes you want to think. For all those times you stood by me For all the truth that you made me see For all the joy you brought to my life For all the wrong that you made right For every dream you made come true For all the love I found in you I'll be forever thankful baby You're the one who held me up Never let me fall You're the one who saw me through, through it all You were my strength when I was weak You were my voice when I couldn't speak You were my eyes when I couldn't see You saw the best there was in me Lifted me up when I couldn't reach You gave me faith 'cuz you believed I'm everything I am Because you loved me You gave me wings and made me fly You touched my hand I could touch the sky I lost my faith, you gave it back to me You said no star was out of reach You stood by me and I stood tall I had your love I had it all I'm grateful for each day you gave me Maybe I don't know that much But I know this much is true I was blessed because I was loved by you You were my strength when I was weak You were my voice when I couldn't speak You were my eyes when I couldn't see You saw the best there was in me Lifted me up when I couldn't reach You gave me faith 'cuz you believed I'm everything I am Because you loved me You were always there for me The tender wind that carried me A light in the dark shining your love into my life You've been my inspiration Through the lies you were the truth My world is a better place because of you You were my strength when I was weak You were my voice when I couldn't speak You were my eyes when I couldn't see You saw the best there was in me Lifted me up when I couldn't reach You gave me faith'cuz you believed I'm everything I am Because you loved me You were my strength when I was weak You were my voice when I couldn't speak You were my eyes when I couldn't see You saw the best there was in me Lifted me up when I couldn't reach You gave me faith'coz you believed I'm everything I am Because you loved me I'm everything I am Because you loved me This is by celine dion Mickey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoviBlaze Posted June 16, 2004 Share Posted June 16, 2004 This is a beautiful, almost haunting song that as I read the lyrics I couldn't help but think of myself and a lot of people here. Ordinary World -- Duran Duran Came in from a rainy Thursday on the avenue thought I heard you talking softly I turned on the lights the TV and the radio but still I can't escape the ghost of you What is happening to me crazy some would say Where is the life that I recognize, gone away And I won't cry for yesterday there's an ordinary world somehow I have to find And as I try to make my way to the ordinary world I will learn to survive Passion or coincidence once prompted you to say pride will tear us both apart Well now pride's gone out the window cross the rooftops runaway Left me in the vaccuum of my heart What is happening to me crazy some will say where is my friend when I need you most gone away But I won't cry for yesterday there's an ordinary world somehow I have to find And as I try to make my way to the ordinary world I will learn to survive Papers in the roadside tell of suffering and grief Fear today forgot tomorrow beside the news of holy war and holy need Our's is just a little sorrowed talk, just blown away And I won't cry for yesterday there's an ordinary world somehow I have to find And as I try to make my way to the ordinary world I will learn to survive Every world is my world (I will learn to survive) Any world is my world (I will learn to survive) Any world is my world, every world is our world, every world Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lauren Posted June 23, 2004 Share Posted June 23, 2004 I have a few songs here Hero by Mariah Carey There's a hero If you look inside your heart You don't have to be afraid Of what you are There's an answer If you reach into your soul And the sorrow that you know Will melt away Chorus: And then a hero comes along With the strength to carry on And you cast your fears aside And you know you can survive So when you feel like hope is gone Look inside you and be strong And you'll finally see the truth That a hero lies in you It's a long road When you face the world alone No one reaches out a hand For you to hold You can find love If you search within yourself And the emptiness you felt Will disappear Chorus: And then a hero comes along With the strength to carry on And you cast your fears aside And you know you can survive So when you feel like hope is gone Look inside you and be strong And you'll finally see the truth That a hero lies in you Lord knows Dreams are hard to follow But don't let anyone Tear them away Hold on There will be tomorrow In time You'll find the way Chorus: And then a hero comes along With the strength to carry on And you cast your fears aside And you know you can survive So when you feel like hope is gone Look inside you and be strong And you'll finally see the truth That a hero lies in you That a hero lies in you ___ Concrete Angel by Martina Mcbride She walks to school with the lunch she packed, Nobody knows what she's holdin back, Wearin the same dress she wore yesterday, She hides the bruises with a linen and lace ohhh, The teacher wonders but she doesn't ask, It's hard to see the pain behind the mask, Bearin' the burden of a secret storm, Sometimes she wishes she was never born, Through the wind and the rain she stands hard as a stone, In a world that she can't rise above, But her dreams give her wings and she flies to a place where she's loved, Concrete angel, Somebody cries in the middle of the night, The neighbors hear but they turn out the lights, A fragile soul caught in the hands of fate, When mornin' comes it'll be too late, Through the wind and the rain she stands hard as a stone, In a world that she can't rise above, But her dreams give her wings and she flies to a place where she's loved Concrete angel A statue stands in a shaded place, An angel girl with an upturned face, Her name is written on a polished rock, A broken heart that the world forgot, Through the wind and the rain she stands hard as a stone, In a world that she can't rise above But her dreams give her wings and she flies to a place where she's loved, Concrete angel (this song can be a bit depressing, but reminds of how lucky I am, that I have survived it all, although I am still in a bad situttion at time, I am still living and still going strong) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eye of the Tiger Posted June 26, 2004 Share Posted June 26, 2004 Although it speaks of a girl insecure in her relationship, I could relate to the whole 'pretending everything's okay' theme. DOTH I PROTEST TOO MUCH - Alanis Morissette I'm not threatened by every pair of legs you watch go by I don't cringe when you stare at women It's just a thing called guy I don't notice your side ways glances Or where your loyalty lies I'm secure and out of me It's hard to get a rise I'm not jealous I don't get moved my much I'm not enraged Not insecure as such Not going insane Rational stays in touch Doth I protest too much? I'm not tortured by how oft your busy Cause I've got things to do I'm not disappointed about how you don't miss you me Cause I don't need you to I'm not needy I don't get clingy much I'm not scared I'm not afraid as such I'm not dependent Rock solid, stays in touch And Doth I protest too much? So much energy to prove to you Who I can't possibly be So much energy to prove to you I'm not who you hate for me to be I'm not saddened And I don't miss you Cause I have moved on too I'm not concerned about your new lover Cause I have a new lover too I'm not depressed I don't get down that much I'm not despondent I am not dark as such I'm never sad Keep Chin Up, Stays in touch And Doth I protest too much?

tini Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 There's an earlier song by Evanescence called "Fields of Innocence" that I find really haunting: I still remember the world From the eyes of a child Slowly those feelings Were clouded by what I know now *chorus* Where has my heart gone An uneven trade for the real world oh I... I want to go back to Believing in everything and knowing nothing at all I still remember the sun Always warm on my back Somehow it seems colder now *chorus2* Where has my heart gone Trapped in the eyes of a stranger oh why...

InvisibleRellie Posted August 6, 2004 Share Posted August 6, 2004 Plumb has several great songs out that have really helped me, they may be triggering though so BE CAREFUL! Unforgivable I'm never told that I am pretty I'm never told that I am kind And my soul burns now with fire Deep inside I want to become brave and courageous Not buried in self-pity of my own Ashamed and alone From all that's been done to me It's not my fault I remind myself You say don't be afraid But I feel afraid You say don't laugh or cry But I show emotion You say food will be on the table And birds in the sky But I'm hungry, so hungry And it's cloudy outside You never loved me like a daughter You never even loved yourself Now you treat me like a burden Just another object on your shelf I want you to know now that I love you And this pain that I carry is not my own Ashamed and alone From all that's been done to you It's not your fault I remind myself Chorus No matter what I've done Or is done to me Nothing's unforgivable Or unable to be set free Chorus (to end) Nice, Naive, and Beautiful She’s only known heartache and pain But she’s never known pain like this She stands alone defending her name When all that she’s done is be who she is Well is it so wrong to be who we are When all she’s done is fail Cause she’s so nice, naïve and beautiful Why does she get taken advantage Why does she live in a world so cold She takes advantage of the nice, naïve and the beautiful Cold is the throne of her hardened heart No one has seen the softest part Day after night she holds an ache And won't budge to show this secret place Well is it so wrong to hang on to hurt Maybe she could set it free Cause she’s so nice, naïve and beautiful Why did she get taken for granted Why did she live in a world so cold He took advantage of the nice, naïve and the beautiful If you’ve been there you know If you’re still there hang on We’re all dealt our lumps of coal What you do with it can turn beautiful Well there’s a life outside of this madness And there’s a face behind every scar But there’s a love overflowing with gladness Get out of that place that’s restraining your love I said get out of that place that’s restraining your love Damaged Dreaming comes so easily 'Cause it's all that I've known True love is a fairy tale I'm damaged, so how would I know I'm scared and I'm alone I'm ashamed And I need for you to know I didn't say all the things that I wanted to say And you can't take back what you've taken away 'Cause I feel you, I feel you near me I didn't say all the things that I wanted to say And you can't take back what you've taken away 'Cause I feel you, I feel you near me Healing comes so painfully And it chills to the bone Will anyone get close to me? I'm damaged, as I'm sure you know Im scared and i'm alone im ashamed and i need for you to know I didn't say all the things that I wanted to say And you can't take back what you've taken away 'Cause I feel you, I feel you near me I didn't say all the things that I wanted to say And you can't take back what you've taken away 'Cause I feel you, I feel you near me There's mending for my soul An ending to this fear Forgiveness for a man who was stronger I was just a little girl, but I can't go back I didn't say all the things that I wanted to say And you can't take back what you've taken away 'Cause I feel you, I feel you near me I didn't say all the things that I wanted to say And you can't take back what you've taken away 'Cause I feel you, I feel you near me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest theatergeek814 Posted August 23, 2004 Share Posted August 23, 2004 Hey everyone. I'm new to this board but have been lurking on this subject for a few days and wanted to post. This is how I feel today: Grey Street by Dave Matthews Band Oh look at how she listens She says nothing of what she thinks She just goes stumbling through her memories Staring out on Grey Street She thinks, "Hey, How did I come to this? I dream myself a thousand times around the world. But I can't get out of this place." There's an emptiness inside her And she'd do anything to fill it in But all the colors mix together - to grey And it breaks her heart How she wishes it was different She prays to God most every night And though she swears it doesn't listen There's still a hope in her it might She says, "I pray But they fall on deaf ears. Am I supposed to take it on myself? To get out of this place." There's loneliness inside her And she'd do anything to fill it in And though it's red blood bleeding from her now It feels like cold blue ice in her heart When all the colors mix together - to grey And it breaks her heart There's a stranger speaks outside her door Says take what you can from your dreams Make them as real as anything It'd take the work out of the courage But she says, "Please, There's a crazy man that's creeping outside my door, I live on the corner of Grey Street And the end of the world." There's an emptiness inside her And she'd do anything to fill it in And though it's red blood bleeding from her now It's more like cold blue ice in her heart She feels like kicking out all the windows And setting fire to this life She could change everything about her Using colors bold and bright But all the colors mix together - to grety And it breaks her heart It breaks her heart To grey And this is my favorite Poe song and it means so much more to me now. Fly Away by Poe It makes sense that it should happen this way That the sky should break And the Earth should shake As if to say "Sure it all matters, but in such an unimportant way" As if to say Fly away Sweet bird of prey Fly, fly away Nothing can stand in your way Sweet bird If you knew the words I know that you'd say Fly, fly away It makes sense that it should hurt in this way That my heart should break And my hands should shake As if to say "Sure it don't matter except in a most important way" As if to say Fly away Sweet bird of prey Fly, fly away I won't stand in your way Sweet bird If you knew the words I know that you'd say Fly, fly away It makes sense that it should feel this way That you slowly fade And yet still remain As if to say "Everything matters in such an invisible way" As if to say "It's okay" Fly away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azul_sunshine Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 I am not a religious person but I am moved by this song every time I hear it, usually to the point of tears. It reminds me of what I have lost, and all that I can gain by asking others for help. Holy Water by Big and Rich (yes its a country song and I present it to you without predjudice) Somewhere there's a stolen halo I used to watch her wear it well Everything would shine Wherever she would go But looking at her now you's never tell Someone ran away with her innocence A memory she can't get out of her head I can only imagine What she's feeling when she's praying Kneeling at the edge of her bed And she says Take me away And take me farther Surround me now And hold, hold, hold me Like holy water She wants someone to call her angel Someone to put the light back in her eyes She looking through the faces And unfamiliar places She needs someone to hear her when she cries And she says Take me away And take me farther Surround me now And hold, hold, hold me Like holy water She just needs a little help To wash away the pain she's felt She wants to feel the healing hands Of someone who understands And she says Take me away And take me farther Surround me now And hold, hold, hold She says Take me away And take me farther Surround me now And hold, hold, hold me like holy water Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donna Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 Mistakes I Made by Fran Lucci It really is a miracle that I have come this far. Without a hope without a prayer without a guiding star. In spite of my nativity and many dreams betrayed, I know I would not be here now but for mistakes I made But for mistakes I made Who knows who I would be Some other heart some other soul Some other destiny But for the times I took a wrong turn unafraid I might have missed it all But for mistakes I made So many times I've tried to change things out of my control. The jealousy and all the rage that swallowed me up whole. The years that I spent loving those who did not feel the same. The times I didn't trust myself with only me to blame. But for mistakes I made Who knows where I would be Some other place some other time Some other destiny But for the times I took a wrong turn unafraid I might have missed it all But for mistakes I made These things have taught me what is real How to laugh how to cry how to love without regret and when to say hello..or goodbye I know whatever comes my way my dues have all been paid. For you would not be in my life, but for mistakes I made But for mistakes I made Who knows who I would be Some other heart some other soul Some other destiny But for the times I took a wrong turn unafraid I might have missed it all But for mistakes I made I might have missed it all But for mistakes I made.

Donna Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 Mrs. Potter's Lullaby by The Counting Crows Well I woke up in mid-afternoon cause that's when it all hurts the most I dream I never know anyone at the party and I'm always the host If dreams are like movies, then memories are films about ghosts You can never escape, you can only move south down the coast Well, I am an idiot walking a tightrope of fortune and fame I am an acrobat swinging trapezes through circles of flame If you've never stared off in the distance, then your life is a shame And though I'll never forget your face, sometimes I can't remember my name Hey Mrs. Potter don't cry Hey Mrs. Potter I know why but Hey Mrs. Potter won't you talk to me Well, there's a piece of Maria in every song that I sing And the price of a memory is the memory of the sorrow it brings And there is always one last light to turn out and one last bell to ring And the last one out of the circus has to lock up everything Or the elephants will get out and forget to remember what you said And the ghosts of the tilt-a-whirl will linger inside of your head And the ferris wheel junkies will spin them forever instead When I see you a blanket of stars covers me in bed Hey Mrs. Potter don't go Hey Mrs. Potter I don't know but Hey Mrs. Potter won't you talk to me All the blue light reflections that color my mind when I sleep And the lovesick rejections that accompany the company I keep All the razor perceptions that cut just a little too deep Hey I can bleed as well as anyone, but I need someone to help me sleep So I throw my hand into the air and it swims in the beams It's just a brief interruption of the swirling dust sparkle jet stream Well, I know I don't know you and you're probably not what you seem But I'd sure like to find out So why don't you climb down off that movie screen Hey Mrs. Potter don't turn Hey Mrs. Potter I burn for you Hey Mrs. Potter won't you talk to me When the last king of Hollywood shatters his glass on the floor and orders another Well, I wonder what he did that for That's when I know that I have to get out cause I have been there before So I gave up my seat at the bar and I head for the door We drove out to the desert just to lie down beneath this bowl of stars We stand up at the Palace like it's the last of the great Pioneertown bars We shout out these songs against the clang of electric guitars You can see a million miles tonight But you can't get very far Hey Mrs. Potter I won't touch and Hey Mrs. Potter it's not much but Hey Mrs. Potter won't you talk to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donna Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 I Will Remember You by Sarah Mclachlan I will remember you Will you remember me? Don't let your life pass you by Weep not for the memories Remember the good times that we had? I let them slip away from us when things got bad How clearly I first saw you smilin' in the sun Wanna feel your warmth upon me, I wanna be the one I will remember you Will you remember me? Don't let your life pass you by Weep not for the memories I'm so tired but I can't sleep Standin' on the edge of something much too deep It's funny how we feel so much but we cannot say a word We are screaming inside, but we can't be heard But I will remember you Will you remember me? Don't let your life pass you by Weep not for the memories I'm so afraid to love you, but more afraid to loose Clinging to a past that doesn't let me choose Once there was a darkness, deep and endless night You gave me everything you had, oh you gave me light And I will remember you Will you remember me? Don't let your life pass you by Weep not for the memories And I will remember you Will you remember me? Don't let your life pass you by Weep not for the memories Weep not for the memories Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donna Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 Ghost by The Indigo Girls There's a letter on the desktop that I dug out of a drawer the last truce we ever came to from our adolescent war and I start to feel a fever from the warm air through the screen you come regular like seasons shadowing my dreams and the mississippi's mighty but it starts in Minnesota at a place where you could walk across with five steps down and I guess that's how you started like a pinprick to my heart but at this point you rush right through me and I start to drown and there's not enough room in this world for my pain signals cross and love gets lost and time passed makes it plain of all my demon spirits I need you the most I'm in love with your ghost I'm in love with your ghost dark and dangerous like a secret that gets whispered in a hush when i wake the things I dreamt about you last night make me blush when you kiss me like a lover then you sting me like a viper i go follow to the river play your memory like the piper and i feel it like a sickness how this love is killing me but i'd walk into the fingers of your fire willingly and dance the edge of sanity i've never been this close in love with your ghost unknowing captor you'll never know how much you pierce my spirit but i can't touch you can you hear it a cry to be free or i'm forever under lock and key as you pass through me now i see your face before me i would launch a thousand ships to bring your heart back to my island as the sand beneath me slips as i burn up in your presence and i know now how it feels to be weakened like Achilles with you always at my heels and my bitter pill to swallow is the silence that i keep that poisons me i can't swim free the river is too deep though i'm baptized by your touch i am no worse at most in love with your ghost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

desillusionner Posted September 27, 2004 Share Posted September 27, 2004 I find this song absolutely haunting, but it is a great comfort to me. Remember The Tinman -- Tracy Chapman there are locks on the doors, chains stretched across all the entries to lead inside. there's a gate and a fence with bars to protect from only God knows what lurks outside. who stole your heart, left you with a space no one or nothing can fill? who stole your heart, who took it away, knowing that without it you can't live? who took away the part so essential to the whole, left you a hollow body, skin and bone? what robber, what thief? who stole your heart and the key? who stole your heart, the smile from your face, the innocence, the light from your eyes? who stole your heart, did you give it away? and if so, when and why? who took away the part so essential to the whole, left you a hollow body, skin and bone? what robber, what thief? who stole your heart and the key? now all sentiment is gone no you have no trust in no one who stole your heart? did you know but forget the method and moment in time? was it a trickster using mirror and sleight of hand, a strong elixir or a potion that you drank? who hurt your heart, bruised it in a place no one or nothing can heal? you've gone to wizards, princes and magic men you've gone witches, the good, the bad, the indifferent still all sentiment is gone still you have no trust in no one you can tear down the walls, throw your armor away remove all blocks, barricades you can forget there are bandits, dragons to slay but don't forget you defend an empty space and remember the Tinman finally found what he thought he lacked remember the Tinman, go find your heart and take it back who stole your heart, maybe no one can say one day you will find it, i pray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The day has had its way with both of us And oh, I've gone out of my way But I'm not free From this pain I'm feeling I was a fool to think someday You would come around But no, no, no I'm not thinking that way 'Cause now i see You are not what you seem You are a mystery to me Sometimes I just want to scream I think you should just go away 'cause There's no necessity for you to stay and Next time you come around my way Forget it baby You're not comin' in How's your day been? (yeah) 'Cause mine has taken strange and ugly turns But no, no, no I feel better today Because I'm off my knees You are not what you seem You are a mystery to me Sometimes I just want to scream I think you should just go away 'cause There's no necessity for you to stay and Next time you come around my way Forget it baby You're not comin' in A heart ready for a life of sorrow No you can't come back tomorrow Shut my windows Lock my doors 'Cause my heart won't be your ragdoll anymore (yeah) I think you should just go away 'cause There's no necessity for you to stay and Next time you come around my way Forget it baby You're not comin' in A heart ready for a life of sorrow No you can't come back tomorrow Shut my windows Lock my doors 'Cause my heart won't be your ragdoll anymore (oh oh yeah yeah) 'Cause my heart won't be your ragdoll anymore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
