kiwi Posted November 26, 2003 Share Posted November 26, 2003 I like the lyrics, I don't overly like the format they are performed in (except for Numb): Linkin Park Somewhere I Belong When this began I had nothing to say And I'd get lost in the nothingness inside of me I was confused And I let it all out to find/That I'm Not the only person with these things in mind Inside of me But all the vacancy the words revealed Is the only real thing that I've got left to feel Nothing to lose Just stuck/Hollow and alone And the fault is my own And the fault is my own I want to heal I want to feel What I thought was never real I want to let go of the pain I've held so long [Erase all the pain 'til it's gone]It's gone] I want to heal I want to feel Like I'm close to something real I want to find something I've wanted all along Somewhere I Belong And I've got nothing to say I can't believe I didn't fall right down on my face I was confused Looking everywhere/Only to fin that it's Not the way I had imagined it all in my mind So what am I What do I have but negativity 'Cause I can't justify the Way everyone is looking at me Nothing to lose Nothing to gain/Hollow and alone And the fault is my own The fault is my own I will never know Myself until I do this on my own And I will never feel Anything else until my wounds are healed I will never be Anything 'til I break away from me And I will break away I'll find myself today I want to heal I want to feel like I'm Somewhere I belong Easier to Run It's easier to run Replacing this pain with something numb It's so much easier to go Than face all this pain here all alone Something has been taken From deep inside of me A secret I've kept locked away No one can ever see Wounds so deep they never show They never go away Like moving pictures in my head For years and years they've played If I could change I would Take back the pain I would Retrace every wrong move that I made I would If I could Stand up and take the blame I would If I could take all the shame to the grave I Would Sometimes I remember The darkness of my past Bringing back these memories I wish I didn't have Sometimes I think of letting go And never looking back And never moving forward so There would never be a past Just washing it aside All of the helplessness inside Pretending I don't feel misplaced Is so much simpler than change It's easier to run Replacing this pain with something numb It's so much easier to go Than face all this pain here all alone And last but not least Breaking The Habit 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lis Posted December 1, 2003 Share Posted December 1, 2003 Have you noticed that some songs can have a huge effect on your emotions? Does anyone have a song like this to share? When I first broke up with my boyfriend and was feeling kind of depressed, I found myself playing this song frequently in my car. I totally recommend downloading it - it never failed to make me feel like I didn't have a care in the world. Sheryl Crow Soak Up the Sun My friend the communist Holds meetings in his RV I can't afford his gas So I'm stuck here watching TV I don't have digital I don't have diddly squat It's not having what you want It's wanting what you've got (CHORUS) I'm gonna soak up the sun I'm gonna tell everyone To lighten up (I'm gonna tell 'em that) I've got no one to blame For every time I feel lame I'm looking up I'm gonna soak up the sun I'm gonna soak up the sun (VERSE) I've got a crummy job It don't pay near enough To buy the things it takes To win me some of your love Every time I turn around I'm looking up, you're looking down Maybe something's wrong with you That makes you act the way you do Maybe I am crazy too (CHORUS) I'm gonna soak up the sun I'm gonna tell everyone To lighten up (I'm gonna tell 'em that) I've got no one to blame For every time I feel lame I'm looking up I'm gonna soak up the sun Before it goes out on me (CHORUS) I'm gonna soak up the sun I'm gonna tell everyone To lighten up (I'm gonna tell 'em that) I've got no one to blame For every time I feel lame I'm looking up (CHORUS) I'm gonna soak up the sun I'm gonna tell everyone To lighten up (I'm gonna tell 'em that) I've got no one to blame For every time I feel lame I'm looking up (END) I'm gonna soak up the sun Got my 45 on So I can rock on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louise Posted December 5, 2003 Share Posted December 5, 2003 Oh Lis...I think music has been one of my singular biggest healing aids. One of my most empowering songs: "Feeling Good" - Nina Simone and I'll come back and write the words when I'm less friday-night boozy, but anyone who knows it will know how joyous a celebration of life it is. Edith Piaf's "Non, Je ne regrette Rien" is another favourite but I won't write the lyrics 'cuz it's all French, but the title means "No, I have no regrets" and it's female lustiness and guts makes me soar.

Guest Posted December 5, 2003 Share Posted December 5, 2003 Lis, Love Shack by the B 52s always always lifts my mood and makes me smile, no matter if I've heard it 75,432,983 times in my life or more. My kids and I have a "rule" that we HAVE to stop whatever we are doing and dance when Love Shack comes on...no matter where we are. LOL. Still works.

Alex12345 Posted December 5, 2003 Share Posted December 5, 2003 Hey Lou, I'm helping you by posting for you the lyrics of Edith Piaf : Non, rien de rien Non, je ne regrette rien Ni le bien qu'on m'a fait, ni le mal Tout ça m'est bien égal Non, rien de rien Non, je ne regrette rien C'est payé, balayé, oublié Je me fous du passé Avec mes souvenirs J'ai allumé le feu Mes chagrins, mes plaisirs Je n'ai plus besoin d'eux Balayés mes amours Avec leurs trémolos Balayés pour toujours Je repars à zéro Non, rien de rien Non, je ne regrette rien Ni le bien qu'on m'a fait, ni le mal Tout ça m'est bien égal Non, rien de rien Non, je ne regrette rien Car ma vie Car mes joies Aujourd'hui Ça commence avec toi...

Guest Posted December 6, 2003 Share Posted December 6, 2003 For those who don't speak French, I translated the Piaf song (don't shoot, I'm an amateur). No, nothing of nothing No, I regret nothing Not the good done to me, nor the bad It's all OK with me No, nothing of nothing No, I regret nothing It's paid, swept away, forgotten To hell with the past With my memories I've lit the fire My troubles, my pleasures I have no mre need for them Swept away are my loves With their 'anxieties' (sorry, a little unsure of that word) Swept away forever I start again from zero No, nothing of nothing No, I regret nothing Not the good done to me, nor the bad It's all OK with me No, nothing of nothing No, I regret nothing For my life For my joys Today It begins with you.

Lis Posted December 6, 2003 Share Posted December 6, 2003 Dido All You Want I'd like to watch you sleep at night, to hear you breathe by my side And although sleep leaves me behind, there's nowhere I'd rather be And now our bed is oh so cold, my hands feel empty, no-one to hold I can sleep what side I want, it's not the same with you gone Oh if you'd come home, I'll let you know that All you want, is right here in this room, all you want And all you need, is sitting here with you, all you want It's been three years, one night apart, but in that night you tore my heart If only you had slept alone, if those seeds had not been sown Oh you could come home and you would know that All you want, is right here in this room, all you want All you need is sitting here with you, all you want I hear your key turning in the door, I won't be hearing that sound anymore And you and your sin can leave the way you just came in, send my regards to her I hope you've found that All you want, is right there in that room, all you want All you need is sitting there with you, all you want I'd like to watch you sleep at night, to hear you breathe by my side.

SilentFlight Posted December 6, 2003 Share Posted December 6, 2003 I can sit for hours at the piano, or with my guitar, in the studio, either reinforcing or altering a particular mood. My life has a soundtrack that changes... but music, sweet music. Yes it has a profound effect on mood. I don't have any one particular song to fit a mood, or pick me up, but here's a favorite by Peter Gabriel that's sad and encouraging at the same time: Here Comes the Flood (2nd album 1979) "When the night shows the signals grow on radios All the strange things they come and go as early warnings Stranded starfish have no place to hide still waiting for the swollen eastern tide. There's no point in direction we cannot even choose a side. I took the old track the hollow shoulder across the water On the tall cliffs they were getting older the sons and daughters The jaded underworld was riding high and waves of steel hurled metal at the skies And as the nails sank in the clouds the rain was warm and soaked the crowd. Lord, Here comes the flood we'll say goodbye to flesh and blood If again the seas are silent in eddies still alive it'll be those who gave their islands who survive Drink up, dreamers, you're running dry. When the flood comes you have no home, you have no warmth In the thundercrash you're a thousand miles within a flash Don't be afraid to cry at what you see: The act is gone, it's only you and me And if we wake before the dawn we'll use up who we used to be. Lord, Here comes the flood we'll say goodbye to flesh and blood If again the seas are silent in eddies still alive it'll be those who gave their islands who survive Drink up, dreamers, you're running dry.

Louise Posted December 6, 2003 Share Posted December 6, 2003 Alex and Caitlin, Thankyou so much for those lyrics, darlings. I'm so glad I know what they mean - I think it's wonderful. But you know, I never needed to understand the words to know that Edith was singing about acceptance of all life's joys and sorrows - it emerges in that raw and wonderful voice. No matter how shitty I feel, I only have to hear that first long, drawn out "Noooooon" to smile again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mithril Posted December 6, 2003 Share Posted December 6, 2003 This song serves as a kick up the arse for me when I'm feeling down. I had thought he was right, but know what? Everyone is better than he is. This song reminds me of that Moist Better Than You I've sold out every memory I have borrowed I had 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 and everyone and everyone 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 everyone and everyone and everyone and everyone 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 and everyone and everyone and everyone and everyone is better than you better than you.....etc. and if so and if so.....

bailey Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 THis one isn't as healing as it is cathartic...well, i suppose that's close enough to the same thing for me. the first time i heard it, i burst into tears at the raw emotion in her voice as she sang...like she was on the verge of tears herself. very powerful. currently on repeat in my player at home and at work! My Immortal Evanescence I'm so tired of being here, Supressed by all my childish fears, and if you have to leave, I wish that you would just leave, Cause your presence still lingers here, and it won't leave me alone, These wounds won't seem to heal, This pain is just too real, There's just too much that time cannot erase, When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears, When you'd scream i'd fight away all of your fears, and I held your hand through all of these years, But you still...have...all of me, You used to captivate me, by your resignating mind, now i'm bound by the life you left behind, Your face it haunts, my once pleasant dreams, your voice it chased away, all the sanity in me, These wounds won't seem to heal, this pain is just to real, there's just too much that time cannot erase, When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears, when you'd scream i'd fight away all of your fears, and I held your hand through all of these years, but you still...have...all of me I've tried so hard to tell myself that your gone, but though you're still with me, I've been alone all along, When you cried i'd wipe away all of your tears, when you'd scream i'd fight away all of your fears, and I held your hand through all of these years, but you still...have...all of me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lis Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 This is a fun song - I was listening to it in the car today and was like, "Huh...insomnia. This song seems to be about me." Barenaked Ladies "Who Needs Sleep?" Now I lay me down not to sleep I just get tangled in the sheets I swim in sweat three inches deep I just lay back and claim defeat Chapter read and lesson learned I turned the lights off while she burned So while she's three hundred degrees I throw the sheets off and I freeze Lids down, I count sheep I count heartbeats The only thing that counts is that I won't sleep I countdown, I look around Who needs sleep? well you're never gonna get it Who needs sleep? tell me what's that for Who needs sleep? be happy with what you're getting There's a guy who's been awake since the Second World War My hands are locked up tight in fists My mind is racing, filled with lists of things to do and things I've done Another sleepless night's begun Lids down, I count sheep I count heartbeats The only thing that counts is that I won't sleep I countdown, I look around Who needs sleep? well you're never gonna get it Who needs sleep? tell me what's that for Who needs sleep? be happy with what you're getting There's a guy who's been awake since the Second World War [repeat] There's so much joy in life, so many pleasures all around But the pleasure of insomnia is one I've never found With all life has to offer, there's so much to be enjoyed But the pleasures of insomnia are ones I can't avoid Lids down, I count sheep I count heartbeats The only thing that counts is that I won't sleep I countdown, I look around Hala Hala Hala Who needs sleep? well you're never gonna get it Who needs sleep? tell me what's that for Who needs sleep? be happy with what you're getting There's a guy who's been awake since the Second World War Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laney Posted December 10, 2003 Author Share Posted December 10, 2003 I can't believe I haven't posted this already!! This song, like most by Evanescence is haunting. I can't find an album it's on, I stumbled accross the mp3 a few weeks ago, it must have been a B-side or something. I'll put a T warning for SI and suicide Evanescence Breathe No More I've been looking in the mirror for so long. That I've come to believe my soul's on the other side. All the little pieces falling, shatter. Shards of me, To sharp to put back together. To small to matter, But big enough to cut me into so many little pieces. If I try to touch her, And I bleed, I bleed, And I breathe, I breathe no more. Take a breath and I try to draw from my spirits well. Yet again you refuse to drink like a stubborn child. Lie to me, Convince me that I've been sick forever. And all of this, Will make sense when I get better. But I know the difference, Between myself and my reflection. I just can't help but to wonder, Which of us do you love. So I bleed, I bleed, And I breathe, I breathe now... Bleed, I bleed, And I breathe, I breathe, I breathe- I breathe no more.

butterflykt Posted December 28, 2003 Share Posted December 28, 2003 I'm really into the whole music scene, and putting together local shows and such. A lot of times the bands need a place to stay...and often bunk at my house. A few years ago, a band named UNDEROATH came to town. I had known them before they were even a band, just as boys. We had a pretty serious talk that night, just...talking aaand from it came a song that they put on one of their CD's. It may t, so be careful. I really think that it takes a lot for a guy band to come straight out and say these things...and give their stand on this issue. It's a really angry sounding song too....aaand for me is a bigtime stress relief to scream along w/ it. 4) Innocence Stolen Her body twitches, unbearable pain Lord bring me out of this, why doesn’t he stop, love does not exist. Her insides feel like an unbearable hell. Confusion runs through her mind. She prays so loud, she cries from the inside, why, why, why, why, how could someone do this to me? He has taken this gift from her, fright in her eyes, he doesn’t even flinch, persistence on his face. Her body lay helpless as the shock kicks in. Thoughts of death only enter in. Why was I raped, why was I raped? Why did he do this to me, I thought he loved me, but now my insides bleed. Scared for life, I face this world. Only the Lord helps me make it though each day. how can you look in a girl's eyes and use her body for your own pleasure? This one's for the child molesters, this one's for the people who rape! My God powerful will burn your bridges down! planned attack on your soul to defeat the evil and make yo whole. If no changed, then hell your fate. When you rape you take this most important thing in a young gril's life. those who have been raped: you are in my prayers... God hears your cries. This one is just...remembering that special person who was always there for you in your rough times. 2) Letting Go Of Tonight Never forget the time you made me feel alive. When death was on my mind, or when you held onto me, when the would let me fall behind. You were love to me rather than just a word. A friend was all you were and it changed my heart. stood next to me through the storm. Felt the wounds and kept me warm. Something I had never seen before. And I thank you. 6) Angel Below You took me over the edge and left me there to fall by myself. The word LOVE meant nothing to you. I was taken in and with your lies and you knew I was too weak to leave, but you were wrong. You mean nothing to me. Everytime you think of me, I hope your heart dies. I have found my true love, and you now burn beneath my feet. You'll pay for everything you've done. If you could die, I'd be the one with the gun. From this day on, I'll write the songs you hate, and I pray the prayers that drive you away. It's time to let the world know how you tried to ruin my life. Up burn my thoughts of him. The virus leaves me. Next up is a band called Cool Hand Luke. They have a really great sound and some really great lyrics too....this song is called In Memory of Innocence...and once again, I salute these guys for having the courage to bringing the topic into their music community. Memories shattered to the ground Like cheap christmas ornaments As she lay there screaming, "What have i done?" To the one she knew so well Thief of virginity Robber of purity End of serenity All for sake of masculinity A wound so deep no time can reach Or remedy my Lord, my panacea Set her free Take this anger from my heart Forgive me I know his sins are no greater than my mine But i can't forget waht he did Add another heart to your collection Add another scar to her reflection Her every tear brings judgement down upon your head To form a crown You broke much more than human flesh You pierced the heart of a child of God ...you will repent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amilee Posted December 28, 2003 Share Posted December 28, 2003 Bailey took the song I was gonna share. It's okay though. The reason I love My Immortal so much is because it's like singing to myself about myself...how with healing there's two parts to me. How my innocence was lost, how I want to leave behind the sad, broken girl and grow to the girl I'm supposed to be yet how my past won't let me go. Absolutely LOVE that song. Another good one by Evanescence is "Bring Me to Life" How can you see into my eyes like open doors leading you down into my core where I've become so numb? Without a soul; my spirit's sleeping somewhere cold, until you find it there and lead it back home. (Wake me up.) Wake me up inside. (I can't wake up.) Wake me up inside. (Save me. ) Call my name and save me from the dark. (Wake me up. ) Bid my blood to run. (I can't wake up. ) Before I come undone. (Save me. ) Save me from the nothing I've become. Now that I know what I'm without you can't just leave me. Breathe into me and make me real. Bring me to life. [Chorus] Bring me to life. I've been living a lie/There's nothing inside. Bring me to life. Frozen inside without your touch, without your love, darling. Only you are the life among the dead. All of this sight I can't believe I couldn't see Kept in the dark but you were there in front of me I've been sleeping a 1000 years it seems. I've got to open my eyes to everything. Without a thought Without a voice Without a soul Don't let me die here/There must be something more. Bring me to life. [Chorus] Bring me to life. I've been living a lie/There's nothing inside. Bring me to life Another one is "That I Would be Good" by Alanis Morrisette. that I would be good even if I did nothing that I would be good even if I got the thumbs down that I would be good if I got and stayed sick that I would be good even if I gained ten pounds that I would be fine even if I went bankrupt that I would be good if I lost my hair and my youth that I would be great if I was no longer queen that I would be grand if I was not all knowing that I would be loved even when I numb myself that I would be good even when I am overwhelmed that I would be loved even when I was fuming that I would be good even if I was clingy that I would be good even if I lost sanity that I would be good whether with or without you And I'm kinda shocked that no one posted Christina's "I'm Okay" I want to dance with my mom at my wedding to this song. Definite trigger factor though...careful. Once upon a time there was a girl In her early years she had to learn How to grow up living in a war that she called home Never know just where to turn for shelter from the storm Hurt me to see the pain across my mother's face Everytime my father's fist would put her in her place Hearing all the yelling I would cry up in my room Hoping it would be over soon Bruises fade father, but the pain remains the same And I still remember how you kept me so afraid Strength is my mother for all the love she gave Every morning that I wake I look back to yesterday And I'm OK I often wonder why I carry all this guilt When it's you that helped me put up all these walls I've built Shadows stir at night through a crack in the door The echo of a broken child screaming "please no more" Daddy, don't you understand the damage you have done To you it's just a memory, but for me it still lives on Bruises fade father, but the pain remains the same And I still remember how you kept me so, so afraid Strength is my mother for all the love she gave Every morning that I wake I look back to yesterday It's not so easy to forget All the lines you left along her neck When I was thrown against cold stairs And every day I'm afraid to come home In fear of what I might see there Bruises fade father but the pain remains the same And I still remember how you kept me so afraid Strength is my mother for all the love she gave Every morning that I wake I look back to yesterday And I'm OK I'm OK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 3, 2004 Share Posted January 3, 2004 Plumb's Endure Questions drip from my umbrella Shadows hang over me Stand here. waiting I know the sky will break And bleed its light And kiss my face with mercy I'll endure the rain I will wait an hour more Not sure if I'll see anything Can I wait here anymore I'll endure the rain I will wait an hour more Not sure if I'll see anything Can I wait here any longer Teardrops vanish in a moment Rainbows hang over me Darkness fading I know the sky will break And bleed its light And kiss my face with mercy Can I wait here any longer Wait here any longer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lis Posted January 4, 2004 Share Posted January 4, 2004 Toad The Wet Sprocket Good Intentions it's hard to rely on my good intentions when my head's full of things that i can't mention seems i usually get things right but i can't understand what i did last night it's hard to rely on my own good senses when i miss so much that requires attention have to laugh at myself sometimes and i can see that i'm not blind there's little relief give us reprieve for all the things i've left behind i'm positive that i'm not blind i'm not afraid things won't get better but it feels like this has gone on forever you have to cry with your own blue tears have to laugh with your own good cheer it's hard to rely on my good intentions when my head's full of things that i can't mention seems i usually get things right but i can't understand what i did last night there's little relief give us reprieve imagining the world outside i'm positive that i'm not blind i can't be hard on you 'cause you know i've been there too learned a lot of things from you but life gives little relief give us reprieve and when everyone is cold as ice i clinch my fists and close my eyes imagining the world outside but i can see that i'm not blind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lis Posted January 4, 2004 Share Posted January 4, 2004 Okay this one is old school, but I still like it. Runaway Train Soul Asylum Call you up in the middle of the night Like a firefly without a light You were there like a blowtorch burning I was a key that could use a little turning So tired that I couldn’t even sleep So many secrets I couldn’t keep Promised myself I wouldn’t weep One more promise I couldn’t keep It seems no one can help me now I’m in too deep; there’s no way out This time I have really led my self astray Runaway train, never going back Wrong way on a one-way track Seems like I should be getting somewhere Somehow I’m neither here nor there Can you help me remember how to smile? Make it somehow all seem worthwile? How on earth did I get so jaded? Life’s mystery seems so faded I can go where no one else can go I know what no one else knows Here I am just a-drownin’ in the rain With a ticket for a runaway train And everything seems cut-and-dried Day and night, earth and sky Somehow I just don’t believe it Runaway train, never going back Wrong way on a one-way track Seems like I should be getting somewhere Somehow I’m neither here nor there Bought a ticket for a runaway train Like a madman laughing at the rain A little out of touch, a little insane It’s just easier than dealing with the pain Runaway train, never going back Wrong way on a one-way track Seems like I should be getting somewhere Somehow I’m neither here nor there Runaway train, never coming back Runaway train, tearing up the track Runaway train, burning in my veins I run away, but it always seems the same Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoviBlaze Posted January 7, 2004 Share Posted January 7, 2004 Alright, I've got three more for you. Since I'm like the biggest Goo Goo Dolls fan ever, I had to post this one: There you are - Goo Goo Dolls Give me a reason now that I can understand Pick up the pieces now and put them in my hand I've been up and down for you My suffering extreme I fell on my face for you Now I know what it means And I self destruct I close my eyes and there There you are Yeah you can run out west, forget you know my name You say you got your shit together, but you ain't got no faith Method in madness Now there's madness in my soul I'd run from the darkness now I've got no place to go And I self destruct I close my eyes and there There you are I'm gonna put a trigger warning on this one for one line, just in case: Shiver - Maroon 5 You build me up You knock me down Provoke a smile And make me frown You are the queen of runaround You know it's true You chew me up And spit me out Enjoy the taste I leave in your mouth You look at me I look at you Neither of us know what to do (CHORUS) There may not Be another way to your heart So I guess I'd better find a new way in I shiver when I hear your name Think about you but it's not the same I won't be satisfied I'm under your skin Immobilized by the thought of you Paralyzed by the sight of you Hypnotized by the words you say Not true but I believe anyway So come to bed It's getting late There's no more time for us to waste Remember how my body tastes You feel your heart begin to race (CHORUS) This one is a really good song that I find myself singing alot. Everyday - Bon Jovi I used to be the kind of guy Who'd never let you look inside I'd smile when I was crying I had nothing but a life to loose Thought I had a lot to proof In my life, there's no denying Goodbye to all my yesterdays Goodbye, so long, I'm on my way I've had enough of cryin' Bleedin', sweatin', dyin' Hear me when I say Gonna live my life everyday I'm gonna touch the sky And I spread these wings and fly I ain't here to play I'm gonna live my life everyday Change, everybody's feeling strange Never gonna be the same Makes you wonder how the world keeps turning Life, learning how to live my life Learning how to pick my fights Take my shots while I'm still burning Goodbye to all those rainy nights Goodbye, so long, I'm moving on I've had enough of cryin' Bleedin', sweatin', dyin' Hear me when I say Gonna live my life everyday I'm gonna touch the sky And I spread these wings and fly I ain't here to play I'm gonna live my life everyday There ain't nothing gonna get in my way Everyday Goodbye, so long, I'm moving on I've had enough of cryin' Bleedin', sweatin', dyin' Hear me when I say Gonna live my life everyday I'm gonna touch the sky And I spread these wings and fly I ain't here to play I'm gonna live my life everyday I, oh I, oh I, I'm gonna live my life everyday I (gonna touch the sky), oh I (spread these wings and fly), oh I I'm gonna live my life everyday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cira Posted January 7, 2004 Share Posted January 7, 2004 I love this one...It's a huge power song for me. Control ~ by Poe Don't you mess with a little girl's dream 'Cause she's liable to grow up mean Surprised you to find that I'm laughing? You thought that you'd find me in tears You thought I'd be crawling the walls Like a tiny mosquito and trembling in fear Well you may be king for the moment But I am a queen understand And I've got your pawns and your bishops And castles All inside the palm of my hand While you were looking the other way While you had your eyes closed While you were licking your lips 'Cause I was miserable While you were selling your soul While you were tearing a hole in me I was taking control Now I have taken control Now I have taken control... This is beginning to feel good Watching you squirm in your shoes A small bead of sweat on your brow And a growl in your belly you're scared to let through You thought you could keep me from loving You thought you could feed on my soul But while you were busy destroying my life What was half in me has become whole While you were looking the other way While you had your eyes closed While you were licking your lips 'Cause I was miserable While you were selling your soul While you were tearing a hole in me I was taking control Now I have taken control Now I have taken control... So this is how it feels To breathe in the summer air The feel the sand between my toes And love inside my ear All those things that you taught me to fear I've got them in my garden now And you're not welcome here Come here! Come a little bit closer Let me look at you I gave you the benefit Of the doubt it's true But keep in mind my darling Not every saint is a fool (Don't) While you were looking the other way (You mess) While you had your eyes closed (With me) While you were licking your lips 'Cause I was miserable (Don't) While you were selling your soul (You mess) While you were tearing a hole in me I was taking control Now I have taken control Now I have taken control... Don't you mess with me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
