Guest Jasmine 8104 Posted March 6, 2002 Share Posted March 6, 2002 For Kristen by Kyler England shadows dance feverishly in my mind the dark corners are seeping, swiftly, silently and i can see nothing but ugliness, ugliness, ugliness through eyes misled by fear fear of what the dark conceals fear of what the truth may reveal things i can't bear to hear innocence has vanished and faith in goodness has disappeared they were swallowed, swallowed, swallowed up by the sea in my dreams she comes to me and she tells me everything is all right and i believe her and i wake to the disappointment of the truth veiled by the cloak of the night one day she was here and the next she had disappeared and no one knows where innocence has been battered and faith in goodness has been betrayed they were swallowed, swallowed, swallowed up by the sea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 18, 2002 Share Posted March 18, 2002 This is a sweet song, originally from the broadway musical Sweeney Todd....I hummed it softly under my breath to my best friend (love you, sweetie girl) in the heartbreaking throes of a nightmare, to soothe her and let her know she was safe. I also sing my kids to sleep with it, too: Nothing's gonna harm you Not while I'm around Nothing's gonna harm you No sir, not while I'm around Demons are prowling everywhere Nowadays I'll send 'em howling I don't care I got ways No one's gonna hurt you No one's gonna dare Others can desert you Not to worry, whistle, I'll be there Demons'll charm you with a smile, for a while But in time, nothing can harm you Not while I'm around Being close and being clever, ain't like being true I don't need to - I would never hide a thing from you Like some No one's gonna hurt you No one's gonna dare Others can desert you Not to worry, whistle, I'll be there Demons'll charm you with a smile, for a while But in time, nothin' can harm you Not while I'm around.

hdsmith Posted March 22, 2002 Share Posted March 22, 2002 When I first heard this song and immediately loved it evenbefore I identified what had happened to me. I still love it and can relate to EVERY line in the song. I am woman, hear me roar In numbers too big to ignore And I know too much To go back an' pretend 'Cause I've heard it all before And I've been down there on the floor No one's ever gonna Keep me down again Oh yes I am wise But it's wisdom born of pain Yes, I've paid the price But look how much I gained If I have to, I can do anything I am strong I am invincible I am woman You can bend but never break me 'Cause it only serves to make me More determined To achieve my final goal And I come back even stronger Not a novice any longer 'Cause you've deepened The conviction in my soul Oh yes I am wise But it's wisdom born of pain Yes, I've paid the price But look how much I gained If I have to, I can do anything I am strong I am invincible I am woman I am woman watch me grow See me standing toe to toe As I spread my lovin' arms Across the land But I'm still an embryo With a long long way to go Until I make my Brother understand Oh yes I am wise But it's wisdom born of pain Yes, I've paid the price But look how much I gained If I have to I can face anything I am strong I am invincible I am woman Oh, I am woman I am invincible I am strong Helen Reddy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jasmine 8104 Posted March 22, 2002 Share Posted March 22, 2002 Don't Stop Dancing by Creed At times life is wicked and I just can’t see the light A silver lining sometimes isn’t enough To make some wrongs seem right Whatever life brings I’ve been through everything And now I’m on my knees again But I know I must go on Although I hurt I must be strong Because inside I know that many feel this way Children don’t stop dancing Believe you can fly Away…away At times life’s unfair and you know it’s plain to see Hey God I know I’m just a dot in this world Have you forgot about me? Whatever life brings I’ve been through everything And now I’m on my knees again But I know I must go on Although I hurt I must be strong Because inside I know that many feel this way Am I hiding in the shadows? Forget the pain and forget the sorrows But I know I must go on Although I hurt I must be strong Because inside I know that many feel this way Children don’t stop dancing Believe you can fly Away…away Am I hiding in the shadows? Are we hiding in the shadows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 25, 2002 Share Posted March 25, 2002 I could go on for ever with them though I think this song is a really good one In the end ~ linkin park It starts with one thing/I don't know why It doesn't even matter how hard you try keep that in mind/I designed this rhyme to explain in due time All I knoe Time is a valuable thing Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings Watch it count down to the end of the day The clock ticks life away Its so unreal Didn't look out below Watch the time go right out the window Trying to hold on/But didn't even know Wasted it all just to Watch it go I kept everything inside and even tho I tried/It all fell apart What it meant to me will evetually/be a memory/of a time when I tried so hard And got so far But in the end It doesn't even matter I had to fall And lose it all But in the end It doesn't even matter One thing/i don't know why Doesn't even matter how hard you try Keep that in mind/I designed this rhyme To remind myself How I tried so hard take care #Carolyn (Edited by Heart Broken at 10:44 pm on Mar. 25, 2002) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 1, 2002 Share Posted April 1, 2002 -Somebody Else's Song- (Lifehouse) Can't change this feeling I'm way out of touch Can't change this meaning It means too much Never been this lonely Never felt so good Can't be the only one misunderstood I remind myself of somebody else I'm feeling like I'm chasing Like I'm facing myself alone I've got somebody else's thoughts in my head I want some of my own Can you see me up here Would you bring me back down Cause I've been living to see my fears As they fall to the ground I remind myself of somebody else I'm feeling like I'm chasing Like I'm facing myself alone I've got somebody else's thoughts in my head I want some of my own Am I hiding behind my doubts Are they hiding behind me Closer to finding out It doesn't mean anything. -Breathing- (Lifehouse) (This is also my theme song "I'm finding my way back to sanity again Though I don't really know what I'm gonna do when I get there And take a breath and hold on tight Spin around one more time And gracefully fall back to the arms of grace I'm looking past the shadows In my mind into the truth And I'm trying to identify The voices in my head God, which one's you Let me feel one more time What it feels like to feel And break these calluses off of me One more time." -Sick Cycle Carousel- (Lifehouse) If shame had a face I think it would kinda look like mine If it had a home would it be my eyes? Would you believe me if I said I'm tired of this? Well here we go now one more time So where will this end It goes on and on Over and over and over again Keep spinning around I know that it won't stop Til I step down from this for good I never thought I'd end up here Never thought I'd be standing where I am I guess I kinda thought that it would be easier than this I guess I was wrong now one more time. -Simon- (Lifehouse) Catch your breath hit the wall Scream out loud as you start to crawl Back in your cage the only place Where they will leave you alone Cause the weak will seek the weaker Til they've broken them Could you get it back again Would it be the same Fulfillment to their lack of strength At your expense Left you with no defense They tore it down And I have felt the same as you I've felt the same as you I've felt the same Locked inside the only place Where you feel sheltered where you feel safe You lost yourself in your search To find something else to hide behind The fearful always preyed upon your confidence Did they see the consequence they pushed you around The arrogant build kingdoms made of the different ones Breaking them til they've become just another crown And I have felt the same as you I've felt the same as you I've felt the same as you I've felt the same Refuse to feel, anything at all Refuse to slip, refuse to fall Can't be weak, can't stand still You watch your back cause no one will You don't know why they had to go this far Traded your worth for these scars for your only company Don't believe the lies that they have told to you Not one word was true You're alright You're alright You're alright And I have felt the same as you I've felt the same as you I've felt the same as you I've felt the same. -Quasimodo- (Lifehouse) You could be right And I'll be real Honesty won't be a pain That you will have to feel Cause I don't need your approval to find my worth I've been trapped inside of my own mind Afraid to open my eyes cause of what I'd find And I don't want to live like this anymore There goes my pain There goes my chains Did you see them falling Cause this feeling That has no meaning There goes the world Off of my shoulders There goes the world Off of my back There it goes Does it scare you that I can be something different than you Would it make you feel more comfortable if I wasn't You can't control me And you can't take away from me who I am There goes my pain There goes my chains Did you see them falling Cause this feeling That has no meaning There goes the world Off of my shoulders There goes the world Off of my back You can't change me You can't break me There goes the world Off of my shoulders There goes the world Off of my back Have you ever felt Like your only comfort was your cage You're not alone I have felt the same as you Have you ever felt Like your secrets give you away You're not alone I have been there, too Everyone is looking And everyone is laughing But I think everyone feels the same Everybody wants to feel okay Everybody wants to Everybody wants to feel There goes my pain There goes my chains Did you see them falling Cause this feeling That has no meaning There goes the world Off of my shoulders There goes the world Off of my back Cause I don't want it I don't want it. -Somewhere In Between- (Lifehouse) I can't be losing sleep over this, no, I can't And now I cannot stop pacing Give me a few hours I'll have this all sorted out If my mind would just stop racing Cause I cannot stand still I can't be this unsturdy This cannot be happening This is over my head But underneath my feet Cause by tomorrow morning I'll have this thing beat And everything will be back To the way that it was I wish that it was just that easy Cause I'm waiting for tonight Then waiting for tomorrow And I'm somewhere in between What is real and just a dream What is real and just a dream What is real and just a dream Would you catch me if I fall Out of what I fell in Don't be surprised if I collapse Down at your feet again I don't want to run away from this I know that I just don't need this. -He- (Jars Of Clay) Don't try to reach me I'm already dead The pain when it grips me For things that I've done Well I try to make you proud But for crying out loud Just give me a chance to hide away Exhaustion takes over Will this someday be over? Chorus: Fearful tears are running down The pain you've laid dont speak a sound Don't take my heart away from me And they think I fell down.....again Daddy don't you love me Then why do you hit me? And Momma don't you love me Then why do you hurt me? Well I've tried to make you proud But for crying out loud Just give me a chance to hide away Exhaustion takes over Will this someday be over? repeat chorus twice A teardrop falls From up in the heavens Drowning the sorrow of angels in high For the least of the helpless The hopeless, the loveless My Jesus, His children, He holds in His arms He loves you, He sees you, He knows you, protects you, He needs you, He holds you (repeated a bunch of time) -I Can't Catch You- (Sixpence None The Richer) I guess you could say I'm a little afraid What if you go away? I've seen it before I've been there before If I have to love myself Tell me how to love myself What's there to love about myself? I just wanted to see that as a person you want me But I'm feeling the pain of all these bags in the way And I'm thinking you're just gonna run away And I can't catch you I guess you could say That I want you to stay 'Cause you have this strange knack Adds a glow to my black As you chase it all away And I hope that you can see I will someday leave these things I am waiting to be free But I'm feeling the pain of all these bags in the way And I'm thinking you're just gonna run away And I can't catch you Oh, I want to catch you. -Drifting- (Sixpence None The Richer) Drifting away from you Spinning down to the pinpoint drop of isolation In a spell Walking away from the fire That keeps my heart From turning ice Golden feet grace the surface of the sea Sinking deeper I view them from underneath Flailing, kicking as I head for the deep I question a hypothetical lead supper Oh God receive my outstretched hand Will I inhale the blue Spinning down upon the glass A ghost towards realization of a cell Enclosing the hauntings of a past That blind the eyes And rust the heart So I fell I need you to take my hand And keep my heart from ice . -Damaged- (Plumb) 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 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.

Cherry Blossom Posted April 3, 2002 Share Posted April 3, 2002 This song has special significance for me. Birmingham (Amanda Marshall) Virgil Spencer's got a nineteen-inch Hitachi And many demons lingering Friday night he pulled a gun to change the channel Something that he picked up from the King His wife remembers well the man she knew Seems the dreams she had have all turned black and blue She's wasted years No time for tears [Chorus] Cause there's another chance and a someday soon Shining like the Alabama moon She's looking for her promised land Out beyond the lights of... Birmingham It's three a.m. and Virgil's passed out on the sofa a fifth of Jim Beam on the floor She's packed a bag she slips the keys out of his pocket She's careful not to slam the door And as she drives she rubs her rosary She's never been so all alone, she's never felt so free She's got miles to go Blind faith and hope As the rain falls down upon the interstate Any doubts she had are all but washed away one long look back At birmingham Cause there's another chance and a someday soon Shining like the Alabama moon She's looking for her promised land Out beyond the lights of... Birmingham So Unsexy (Alanis Morrisette) Oh these little rejections how they add up quickly One small sideways look and I feel so ungood Somewhere along the way I think I gave you the power to make Me feel the way I thought only my father could Oh these little rejections how they seem so real to me One forgotten birthday I'm all but cooked How these little abandonments seem to sting so easily I'm 13 again am I 13 for good? I can feel so unsexy for someone so beautiful So unloved for someone so fine I can feel so boring for someone so interesting So ignorant for someone of sound mind Oh these little protections how they fail to serve me One forgotten phone call and I'm deflated Oh these little defenses how they fail to comfort me Your hand pulling away and I'm devastated When will you stop leaving baby? When will I stop deserting baby? When will I start staying with myself? Oh these little projections how they keep springing from me I jump my ship as I take it personally Oh these little rejections how they disappear quickly The moment I decide not to abandon me (Edited by Cherry Blossom at 6:30 pm on April 3, 2002) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 4, 2002 Share Posted April 4, 2002 Well , I turn to a twisted sense of humur when I get drunk or stressed, sing christmas carols a lot. Monty Python's I'm a Lumberjack... silly songs get me by. in terms of healing, i sometimes do a set of Stone Temple Pilot's "Sex Type thing" _LOUD LOUD, and follow it with Tori's "Me and a gun". I'm not good, and i dont play well (rather, i don't paly guitar at all, but I do "got guts" and will attempt it for the sake of friends). I do it a lot at rallys and stuff. it's a hard therapy- it re-lives everything. I will not key the lyrics becaus ethey are TOO TRIGGERING even for me if i;m not in my "place" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mingo Posted April 11, 2002 Share Posted April 11, 2002 I liked a lot of the songs that have already been mentioned and I was going to add 'Bring on the Rain'. but I saw that some one else already has. I really enjoy Bebo Norman's songs and I think that they have a lot of meaning in them. They do touch on religion though so be careful... I'm Alright by Bebo Norman I've got a little hope in my pocket, I want to share a bit with you Just be careful that you don't drop it, but don't worry if you do 'Cause I got broken down inside me, and I might just need some help But I will get by And I've got demons in my history, got bone beneath my skin But I've been taken by a mystery, yes, I've been taken in And sometimes voices down inside me try to fight me for myself I will get by What have I got to live for If there's nothing beating in my chest What have I got to live for When this world starts turning, it's burning me up I'm alright I used to think love was just a barter, second hand coincidence What doesn't kill you just makes you harder, so I used my common sense Keeping cold to keep my distance, ‘til you took my pride away Now I will get by I am not afraid, no, I am not afraid And I will not go crazy here I've got a little hope here in my pocket, I want to share a bit with you So just be careful that you don't drop it, but don't worry if you do 'Cause I got voices down inside me, and I might just need some help I will get by What have I got to live for If there's nothing beating in my chest What have I got to live for When this world starts turning, burning me up When my heart is hurting, I'm learning the rough When this world starts turning, it's burning me up I'm alright _________________________________________________________ Where the Angels Sleep by Bebo Norman I don't know why I always run is it fear of the fall or fear of the touch And I don't know where the angels sleep And I don't know how to really love I've never stood still long enough And I don't know where the angels sleep But I am alive and standing strong I'm no farther forward, just farther along I hold on to my pride and dig in deep It's pulling me down, and I am no closer to release And I don't know where the angels sleep I don't know how to see you now The friend from before is different somehow And I don't know where the angels sleep And I don't know when I'll love again But I don't trust myself to just let you in And I don't know where the angels sleep It's taken ten thousand days To get stuck in my ways And it offers no grace I cannot stand this place With love in my face I walk away slowly I don't know where the angels sleep No, I don't know where the angels sleep _________________________________________________________ Healing Song by Bebo Norman I can tell by this crack of light Oh girl this is gonna be, it's gonna be a beautiful day And I can tell by this stretch of silver Spreading all out across the curves of your face And for the love, for the love of God I've gathered up my pride, I've gathered up my bits and bone And in a world that broke me down I'm standing up, but not alone 'Cause this is a healing song, oh and I've got a heart that fails But love is pushing me along, I'm lifting up above this veil This is a healing song, oh and I don't know if you can tell But love is pushing me along I'm pressing up against the rail, pressing up against the rail I can smell the summer in the air And I swear I can almost see, I can almost see my soul Son, I know that it don't seem fair But I'm turning away from here, and oh Lord, I am coming home I've got friends here that love me I've got all this mercy beating in my blood And I've got friends here that love me And that's something good, that's something good You and I, we've come so far We've come so far, we cannot look back I said you and I, we've come so far We've come so far, we cannot look back I said you and I (you and I, we've come so far) We've come so far (you and I, we've come so far) We've come so far (you and I, we've come so far) We cannot look back (you and I cannot look back) I said you and I (you and I, we've come so far) We've come so far (you and I, we've come so far) We've come so far (you and I, we've come so far) No, we cannot look back (we cannot look back) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hdsmith Posted April 11, 2002 Share Posted April 11, 2002 Just a Girl Gwen Stefani Take this pink ribbon off my eyes I'm exposed And it's no big surprise Don't you think I know Exactly where I stand This world is forcing me To hold your hand 'Cause I'm just a girl, little ol' me Don't let me out of your sight I'm just a girl, all pretty and petite So don't let me have any rights Oh... I've had it up to here! The moment that I step outside So many reasons For me to run and hide I can't do the little things I hold so dear 'Cause it's all those little things That I fear 'Cause I'm just a girl, I'd rather not be 'Cause they won't let me drive Late at night I'm just a girl, Guess I'm some kind of freak 'Cause they all sit and stare With their eyes I'm just a girl, Take a good look at me Just your typical prototype Oh... I've had it up to here! Oh... am I making myself clear? I'm just a girl I'm just a girl in the world... That's all that you'll let me be! I'm just a girl, living in captivity Your rule of thumb Makes me worry some I'm just a girl, what's my destiny? What I've succumbed to Is making me numb I'm just a girl, my apologies What I've become is so burdensome I'm just a girl, lucky me Twiddle-dum there's no comparison Oh... I've had it up to! Oh... I've had it up to! Oh... I've had it up to here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 12, 2002 Share Posted April 12, 2002 A Place For My Head~Linkin' Park I watch how the Moon sits in the sky in the dark night Shining with the light from the sun The sun doesn't give life to the moon to assuming The moon's going to owe it one It makes me think of how you act to me You do Favors and then rapidly You just turn around and start asking me about Things you want back from me I'm sick of the tension, sick of the hunger Sick of you acting like I owe you this Find another place to feed your greed - While I find a place to rest I want to be in another place I hate when you say you don't understand [You'll see it's not meant to be] I want to be in the energy, not with the enemy A place for my head Maybe someday I'll be just like you and Step on people like you do and run away The people I thought I knew I remember back then who you were You used to be calm, used to be strong Used to be generous but you should've known That you'd wear out your welcome Now you see How quiet it is all alone I'm so sick of the tension, sick of the hunger Sick of you acting like I owe you this Find another place to feed your greed While I find a place to rest I'm so sick of the tension, sick of the hunger Sick of you acting like I owe you this Find another place to feed your greed - While I find a place to rest You try to take the best of me Go away ______________________________________ Forgotten~Linkin' Park From the top to the bottom Bottom to top I stop At the core I've forgotten In the middle of my thoughts Taken far from my safety The picture is there The memory won't escape me But why should I care There's a place so dark you can't see the end [skies cock back] and shock that which can't defend The rain then sends dripping an acidic question Forcefully, the power of suggestion Then with the eyes tightly shut looking thought the rust and rot and dust A spot of light floods the floor And pours over the rusted world of pretend The eyes ease open and its dark again In the memory you'll find me Eyes burning up The darkness holding me tightly Until the sun rises up Moving all around screaming of the ups and downs Pollution manifested in perpetual sound The wheels go round and the sunset creeps past the Street lamps, chain-link and concrete A little piece of paper with a picture drawn floats On down the street till the wind is gone The memory now is like the picture was then When the paper's crumpled up it can't be perfect again Now you got me caught in the act You bring the thought back I'm telling you that I see it right through you (Edited by dreamerNdisguiz at 2:20 am on April 12, 2002) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 12, 2002 Share Posted April 12, 2002 The Impossible Dream by Tevin Campbell To dream the impossible dream To fight the unbeatable foe To bare with unbearable sorrow To run where the brave dare not go To right the un-rightable wrong To love, pure and chaste from afar To try when your arms are too weary To reach the unreachable star This is my quest to follow the star And no matter how hopeless and no matter how far To fight for the right without question or pause To be willing to march into #### for a heavenly cause And I know if I'll only be true to this glorious quest Then my heart will be peaceful and calm When I'm laid to my rest Yeah, yes Oh yeah And the world will be better for thee That one man scorned and covered with scars Still strove with his last ounce of courage To reach the unreachable star Mmm-hmmm, star, mmm... I LOVE this song... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 12, 2002 Share Posted April 12, 2002 IRIS By the Goo Goo Dolls And I'd give up forever to touch you Cause I know that you feel me somehow You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be And I don't want to go home right now And all I can taste is this moment And all I can breathe is your life Cause sooner or later it's over I just don't want to miss you tonight 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 And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming Or the moment of truth in your lies When everything feels like the movies Yeah you bleed just to know you're alive 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 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 I just want you to know who I am I just want you to know who I am I just want you to know who I am I just want you to know who I am __________________________________________ Name By The Goo Goo Dolls And even though the moment passed me by I still can't turn away 'Cause all the dreams you never thought you'd lose Got tossed along the way And letters that you never meant to send Get lost or thrown away And now we're grown up orphans That never knew their names We don't belong to no one That's a shame But if you could hide beside me Maybe for a while And I won't tell no one your name And I won't tell em' your name And scars are souvenirs you never lose The past is never far Did you lose yourself somewhere out there Did you get to be a star And don't it make you sad to know that life Is more than who we are We grew up way too fast And now there's nothing to believe Reruns all become our history A tired song keeps playing on a tired radio And I won't tell no one your name And I won't tell em' your name I won't tell em' your name Mmm, mmm, mmm, I won't tell em' your name… Ow! I think about you all the time But I don't need the same It's lonely where you are come back down, And I won't tell em your name Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 12, 2002 Share Posted April 12, 2002 This song was read out as a peom to the children of year six when they left for senior school. I loved the words: LEE ANN WOMACK LYRICS "I Hope You Dance" I hope you never lose your sense of wonder, You get your fill to eat but always keep that hunger, May you never take one single breath for granted, GOD forbid love ever leave you empty handed, I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean, Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens, Promise me that you'll give faith a fighting chance, And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance. I hope you dance....I hope you dance. I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance, Never settle for the path of least resistance Livin' might mean takin' chances but they're worth takin', Lovin' might be a mistake but it's worth makin', Don't let some #### bent heart leave you bitter, When you come close to sellin' out reconsider, Give the heavens above more than just a passing glance, And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance. I hope you dance....I hope you dance. I hope you dance....I hope you dance. (Time is a wheel in constant motion always rolling us along, Tell me who wants to look back on their years and wonder where those years have gone.) I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean, Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens, Promise me that you'll give faith a fighting chance, And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance. Dance....I hope you dance. I hope you dance....I hope you dance. I hope you dance....I hope you dance..

Guest Posted May 12, 2002 Share Posted May 12, 2002 This song lately has been my hope, it has helped me out alot and still is.If you look at my quote real closely you may see the lines of this song that just stick with me:) "New Day" By Celine Dion A NEW DAY HAS COME A new day has...come I was waiting for so long For a miracle to come Everyone told me to be strong Hold on and don't shed a tear Through the darkness and good times I knew I'd make it through And the world thought I had it all But I was waiting for you Hush, love I see a light in the sky Oh, it's almost blinding me I can't believe I've been touched by an angel with love Let the rain come down and wash away my tears Let it fill my soul and drown my fears Let it shatter the walls for a new, new sun A new day has...come Where it was dark now there's light Where there was pain now there's joy Where there was weakness, I found my strength All in the eyes of a boy Hush, love I see a light in the sky Oh, it's almost blinding me I can't believe I've been touched by an angel with love Let the rain come down and wash away my tears Let it fill my soul and drown my fears Let it shatter the walls for a new, new sun A new day has...come A new day has...come Ohhh, a light...

mithril Posted May 13, 2002 Share Posted May 13, 2002 this song makes me feel better about me, especially if i sing it loud. it feels very close to my situation. "better than you" - Moist i've sold out every memory i have borrowed i have bought from you these pictures run like water to dilute me lay me over you and i thought that this would be so right and everyone and everyone is better than you i've felt each slow perversion fosters dying killed the truth in me gone quietly gone completely cold reminder what you tried to be and i knew that this would be so right and everyone and everyone is better than you and it's hard and it's hated and it's hard and if so and if so and everyone and everyone is better than you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 14, 2002 Share Posted May 14, 2002 I have a few myself that help me get through some rough spots: Cry - Holly Cole Trio Cry if you want I wont tell you not to I won’t try to cheer you up Ill just be here if you want me It’s no use in keeping a stiff upper lip You can weep you can sleep you can loosen your grip You can frown you can drown and go down with the ship You cry if you want to Don’t ever apologize venting your pain Its something to me you don’t need to explain I don’t need to know why I don’t think it’s insane You can cry if you want to The windows are closed The neighbours aren’t home If it’s better with me than to do it alone I'll draw all the curtains and unplug the phone You can cry if you want You can stare at the ceiling and tear at your hair Swallow your feelings and stager and swear You could show things and throw things and I wouldn’t care You can cry if you want to I won’t make fun of you I won’t tell any one I won’t analyze what you do or you should have done I won’t advise you to go and have fun You can cry if you want to Well it’s empty and ugly and terribly sad I can’t feel what you feel but I no it feels bad I no that its real and it makes you so mad You could cry Cry if you want to I won’t tell you not to I won’t try and cheer you up Ill just be here if you want me; to be Near you I also like: This is To Mother You - Sinead O'Connor This is to mother you To comfort you and get you through Through when your nights are lonely Through when your dreams are only blue This is to mother you This is to be with you To hold you and to kiss you too For when you need me I will do What your own mother didn't do Which is to mother you All the pain that you have known All the violence in your soul All the 'wrong' things you have done I will take from you when I come All mistakes made in distress All your unhappiness I will take away with my kiss, yes I will give you tenderness For child I am so glad I've found you Although my arms have always been around you Sweet bird although you did not see me I saw you And I'm here to mother you To comfort you and get you through Through when your nights are lonely Through when your dreams are only blue This is to mother you I also like to listen to the song called "Echoes" by Vangelis....VERY empowering Thanks for allowing me to share.

Guest Posted May 30, 2002 Share Posted May 30, 2002 I've got about a million songs. I'll try to keep it short but if I dont just ignore me...The ones marked with asterisks are the ones that got me through the worst periods I've gone through. Sick of Man--Cold Gave all the vampires back to God that day No one got raped here but the pains still inside I'll never love you but I've got words to say No one betrayed here but the memories lie I said don't go away Turned off the lights and then you Said please don't follow me and you cared You stole my passion Burned my everything There all the same here Locked up change deep inside I'll never love you but I've got words to say You killed the feeling but the pains still alive You kept your feelings hidden Like a psycho, burned it all down Take me with you Wont you let me go So sick of man No One--Cold Well I can't really believe No one was sent to get me And I feel like I'm being erased and no one got left here I'm all alone and no one was sent to get me I'm all alone no one got left here But I'm fine, no one left here Well I'm fine If it's fine then stay I can't breathe when I see The pictures sent without you I feel like I've been erased No one got left here I'm all alone no one was sent to get me I'm all alone no one got left here I'm so sick of this terrible instinct it's so hard now Just to find you So sick of the terrible instinct I can only find you **Face--Strife** Imperfection seems to have gotten the best of me I beat myself down in this fustration In unreal aspirations Never allowing progression to begin Sights set so far ahead Missing the start I fall once more I must try one step at a time Facing the path alone, I will begin again I will begin again Obstacles come from within Sometimes so strong you must wait Take the time to catch your breath Face the path and begin again...begin again Never let yourself go astray Making a change will take some time But you've got the time, you've got the time Face the path alone Begin again..Face what is there I must realize what is there Face, Confront and NEVER GIVE IN I must try one day at a time Facing the path alone.. I wont let it win!! **Am I the Only One--Strife** Another day gone by with nothing said Another wish wasted, Another thought dead Crying to myself am I the only one Trying within myself but what's done is done I once thought I knew a little bit But now I know more about nothing... Am I the only one? Trying, trying not to lose what is gone Trying not to lose what is held dear Trying not to lose what is now gone Trying to avoid what I fear Move a little closer Move a little further away from me my friend Put me in this place you know I fear Am I the only one? **Moments Lost--Strife** Minds decay for moments lost Nothings done..Nothings said I wont let it go on I wont let you steal what's left inside I wont let it go on I wont let your actions go justified. **Every Single Day--Pennywise** See all the people -longing to be Living their lives regretlessly Trying to repress all the pain in their lives reassuring themselves-living with lies No way to break through-not on my own Can't push away all the sorrow I've known Have to release every thought or care And take control-Life is a dare I can start over today Live my life a different way Cant find a way to erase bad times to make everything OK I'll start over and Live every single day Regrets and memories-no remorse-no apologies No reason for me to despair No future at all--ask if I care I got time on my side-twenty four hours in my life Cant hang on to what's in my past Full speed ahead--hard and fast At the end with each dropping sun Can't erase what has been done Who cares what happened long ago I don't want to know Can't face tomorrow with these thought of yesterday I can't escape the lies and make them go away Wish I had the answers to help me make it through Can't shake these images no matter what I do I guess I'll use them to make me a stronger man I'll use each twisted tortured memory to help me understand And I will learn from mistakes that everyone makes I've got to find a way I guess I'll have to live with them Every Single Day There are more I could post but I dont want to bore anyone..

red line Posted June 5, 2002 Share Posted June 5, 2002 This might trigger... but it was written by someone i know (and hope to one day call friend) Jessica Weiser... she has just released her album " After Silence" visit www.jessicaweiser.com for more info but "October" Every year this day rolls around Marked by grief and absence of sound My lips form syllables but i can't push them out I feel the fear bubbling up and i am overcome I couldn't speak Because you stole the words from me My body is numb and my tongue stained with shame Will I ever feel safe again I am crying out Do you hear me now After Silence I will find this voice agian I watch the birds form patterns in the clear autumn sky Somehow I wish I could join them and fly Away from these memories into the October night Releasing the anger you've etched in my mind I couldn't breathe Because you took that away from me Your words suffocating and slowly breaking The girl whose strength is crumbling I am crying out Do you hear me now After Silence I will find this voice again I am her newest fan....

Guest Posted June 9, 2002 Share Posted June 9, 2002 Here's another song from my favorite band Pennywise. Every time I get upset I can count on their music to remind me to keep going on. Broken---Pennywise Been stuck on the outside since I can't remember when Got up just long enough for them to beat me down again They crawl inside my mind hoping there to find Ways to be fucking with my head They'll never get the best of me I'm fighting back until I'm dead Cause I've been used been abused I've been bruised I've been broken And I'm backed up against the wall But my will to survive can't be stolen And you can't make me fall Half-wits and dim pundits try to ruin my good name Parents and therapists tell me I'm the one to blame They say "take it like a man" but I can't understand Why they won't leave me alone Best friends and enemies think I'd do better on my own When I think I can't go on just want to stay home in my bed The problems of this fucked up world seem to be kept up in my head I take a look around there's nowhere to be found Somewhere to justify my life I guess I'll try to keep on trying someday I'll get it right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
