turtleshell Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 Here's a song I listen to nowadays, when I'm really having a sad moment, and it makes me feel all that much better. It's a meandering folk/blues tune in a traditional standard format.... a nice, rolling train ride through a countryside of meadow flowers....Thank you, John Mayer "The Heart Of Life" words and music by John Mayer from the album "Continuum", 2006 I hate to see you cry Lying there in that position There's things you need to hear So turn off your tears And listen Pain throws your heart to the ground Love turns the whole thing around No it won't all go the way it should But I know the heart of life is good You know, it's nothing new Bad news never had good timing But, then your circle of friends Will defend the silver lining Pain throws your heart to the ground Love turns the whole thing around No it won't all go the way it should But I know the heart of life is good Pain throws your heart to the ground Love turns the whole thing around Fear is a friend who's misunderstood But I know the heart of life is good I know it's good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ram81 Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 I really like this song it describes how I feel. Song: Holy Water Artist: Big & Rich Album: Horse of a different color Somewhere there's a stolen halo I use to watch her wear it well Everything would shine wherever she would go But looking at her now you'd 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 Holy water She wants someone to call her angel Someone to put the light back in her eyes She's looking through the faces The unfamiliar places She needs someone to hear her when she crys And she says take me away And take me farther Surround me now And hold, hold, hold me like holy water 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 me And she says take me away And take me farther Surround me now And hold, hold, hold me like holy water Holy water Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amy Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 My favorite two healing songs currently are Lithium by Evanescence and Best of You by the Foo Fighters. I'm not sure they were intended to be healing songs, but they are to me. Lithium, by Evanescence Lithium- don't want to lock me up inside lithium- don't want to forget how it feels without lithium- I want to stay in love with my sorrow oh but God I want to let it go come to bed, don't make me sleep alone couldn't hide the emptiness you let it show never wanted it to be so cold just didn't drink enough to say you love me I can't hold on to me wonder what's wrong with me Lithium- don't want to lock me up inside lithium- don't want to forget how it feels without lithium- I want to stay in love with my sorrow Don't want to let it lay me down this time drown my will to fly here in the darkness I know myself can't break free until I let it go let me go Darling, I forgive you after all anything is better than to be alone and in the end I guess I had to fall always find my place among the ashes I can't hold on to me wonder what's wrong with me Lithium- don't want to lock me up inside lithium- don't want to forget how it feels without lithium- I want to stay in love with my sorrow oh but God I want to let it go Foo Fighters - Best Of You Lyrics I've got another confession to make I'm your fool Everyone's got their chains to break Holdin' you Were you born to resist or be abused? Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you? Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you? Are you gone and onto someone new? I needed somewhere to hang my head Without your noose You gave me something that I didn't have But had no use I was too weak to give in Too strong to lose My heart is under arrest again But I break loose My head is giving me life or death But I can't choose I swear I'll never give in I refuse Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you? Is someone getting the best, the best, the be st, the best of you? Has someone taken your faith? Its real, the pain you feel You trust, you must Confess Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you? Oh... Oh...Oh...Oh...Oh... Has someone taken your faith? Its real, the pain you feel The life, the love You die to heal The hope that starts The broken hearts You trust, you must Confess Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you? Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you? I've got another confession my friend I'm no fool I'm getting tired of starting again Somewhere new Were you born to resist or be abused? I swear I'll never give in I refuse Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you? Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you? Has someone taken your faith?

DreamBeliever Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 I've been listening to this song every morning while I get dressed. I find it to be very empowering. Corinne Bailey Rae, "Put Your Records On" Three little birds, sat on my window. And they told me I don't need to worry. Summer came like cinnamon So sweet, Little girls double-dutch on the concrete. Maybe sometimes, we've got it wrong, but it's alright The more things seem to change, the more they stay the same Oh, don't you hesitate. Girl, put your records on, tell me your favourite song You go ahead, let your hair down Sapphire and faded jeans, I hope you get your dreams, Just go ahead, let your hair down. You're gonna find yourself somewhere, somehow. Blue as the sky, sunburnt and lonely, Sipping tea in the bar by the roadside, (just relax, just relax) Don't you let those other boys fool you, Got to love that afro hair do. Maybe sometimes, we feel afraid, but it's alright The more you stay the same, the more they seem to change. Don't you think it's strange? Girl, put your records on, tell me your favourite song You go ahead, let your hair down Sapphire and faded jeans, I hope you get your dreams, Just go ahead, let your hair down. You're gonna find yourself somewhere, somehow. 'Twas more than I could take, pity for pity's sake Some nights kept me awake, I thought that I was stronger When you gonna realise, that you don't even have to try any longer? Do what you want to. Girl, put your records on, tell me your favourite song You go ahead, let your hair down Sapphire and faded jeans, I hope you get your dreams, Just go ahead, let your hair down. Girl, put your records on, tell me your favourite song You go ahead, let your hair down Sapphire and faded jeans, I hope you get your dreams, Just go ahead, let your hair down.

Maia Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 I've always found this to be a comforting song. This Is To Mother You - Sinead O'conner 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 ********* And this one I consider to be empowering.

ram81 Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 (edited) This song really helps when times are rough: Artist: Nickelback Song: Savin Me Prison gates won't open up for me On these hands and knees I'm crawlin' Oh, I reach for you Well I'm terrified of these four walls These iron bars can't hold my soul in All I need is you Come please I'm callin' And oh, I scream for you Hurry I'm fallin', I'm fallin' Show me what it's like To be the last one standing And teach me wrong from right And I'll show you what I can be And say it for me Say it to me And I'll leave this life behind me Say it if it's worth savin' me Heaven's gates won't open up for me With these broken wings I'm fallin' And all I see is you These city walls ain't got no love for me I'm on the ledge of the eighteenth story And oh, I scream for you Come please I'm callin' And all I need from you Hurry I'm fallin', I'm fallin' Show me what it's like To be the last one standing And teach me wrong from right And I'll show you what I can be And say it for me Say it to me And I'll leave this life behind me Say it if it's worth savin' me Hurry I'm callin' And all I need is you Come please I'm callin' And oh, I scream for you Hurry I'm fallin', I'm fallin', I'm fallin' Show me what it's like To be the last one standing And teach me wrong from right And I'll show you what I can be And say it for me Say it to me And I'll leave this life behind me Say it if it's worth savin' me Hurry I'm fallin' And say it for me Say it to me And I'll leave this life behind me Say it if it's worth savin' me.

ResilientOne90 Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 I love this song, it's so uplifting. It's a song that I've been listening to over and over lately, it helps Yolanda Adams-"I Believe" They said you wouldn't make it so far a a And ever since they've said it its been hard But never mind that night'cha had to cry Cause you had never let it go inside You worked real hard and you know exactly what you want and need so believe And you can never give up You can reach your goals Just talk to your soul and say [Chorus:] I believe I can I believe I will I believe I know my dreams are real I believe I'll stand I believe I'll dance I believe I'll grow real soon and That is what I do believe Your goals are just a thing in your soul aha And you know that your moves will let them show You keep creating pictures in your mind So just believe they will come true in time It will be fine leave all of your cares and stress behind and Just let it go Let the music flow inside against all the pain Just start to believe [Chorus] Never mind what people say Hold your head high and turn away With all my hopes and dreams I will believe Even though it seems it's not for me I won't give up, I'll keep it up Look into the sky I will achieve all my needs I will always believe [Chorus x2] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slinky_chix Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 If you don't know them, VNV Nation are a really cool band. I'm not sure what you would call their style. Its sort of techno-industrial-darkwave-dance. Their songs cover things like the helpless feeling guardian angels have watching over us, the carnage of two world wars on europe, and why modern society glorifies violence and murder. "Standing" by VNV Nation from their 1999 CD "Empires" Eyes betray the soul and bear it's thinking. Beyond words they say so many things to me. A stranger here reborn it seems awaking wonders deep in me. If nothing's ventured nothing's gained so I must seize the day. And fighting time so hard I pray that this moment lasts forever. And will the world stay standing still at least for me. Through my eyes stare into me. I bear my heart for all to see. With my face turned to the sun there ever standing still. It wasn't you it wasn't me it wasn't anyone. It was a day so long awaited and a chance to be as me. I let the wind run through my hands as I turned to walk away. In distant days I long to sense it all so clear. And fighting time so hard I pray that this moment lasts forever. And will the world stay standing still at least for me. Through my eyes stare into me. I bear my heart for all to see. With my face turned to the sun there ever standing still. And fighting time so much I ask. I will this morning last forever. Though seasons change and things come to pass remain inside of me. And fighting time so hard I pray that this moment lasts forever. and will the world stay standing still at least for me. I had no faith before that day in any vow or deed. Days followed days and years were meaningless. Despite the wisdom of defeat I bore my heart for all to see the wonders I'd seen.

beyondbelief Posted June 2, 2007 Share Posted June 2, 2007 I hope this one hasn't already been posted. There are so many songs on here already. It's "Desensitized" by Invertigo. When I reach out, you move away from my hands You're never telling me why We make plans to spend Time you forget and the days are just passing us by When I ask you you never understand it You don't know what you haven't done And when I try to explain it sounds like complaint And the words only make you more numb Is there a fire if you don't see the smoke? We can't get higher if you don't let it go. Ooh ooh ooh How did your heart ever get like that How did someone ever hurt so bad That you can't see that You've been kicked inside You're desensitized yeah Oooh ooh ooh How did you heart ever get so cold How did someone ever get so close That you just don't know How it feels inside You're desensitized I wanna believe that it's a phase you go through That only gets harder to tell And sometimes I think it's an easier thing to believe That there's somebody else (Sub) (Chorus) Whatever they did / Whatever they said You know it's much better just to run and forget Whatever it was / Whoever's to blame You know you can let yourself be feeling again ( Chorus Out ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beyondbelief Posted June 2, 2007 Share Posted June 2, 2007 This one is probably triggering... but it helps me somehow... "Baby Don't Cry (Keep Ya Head Up II)" [2Pac] I feel you {uhh} .. (baby don't) but you can't, you can't give up {Hey.. 2Pac what?} [2Pac + H.E.A.T.] Baby please don't cry, I hope you got your head up {Outlawz} Even when the road is hard, never give up Baby don't cry, I hope you got your head up Even when the road is hard, never give up {Keep ya head up} [2Pac] Now here's a story bout a woman with dreams So picture perfect at thirteen, an ebony queen Beneath the surface it was more than just a crooked smile Nobody knew about her secret so it took a while I could see a tear fall slow down her black cheek Sheddin quiet tears in the back seat; so when she asked me, "What would you do if it was you?" Couldn't answer such a horrible pain to live through I tried to trade places in the tragedy I couldn't picture three crazed ni**az grabbin me For just a moment I was trapped in the pain, Lord come and take me Four ni**az violated, they chased and they raped me Even though it wasn't me, I could feel the grief Thinkin with your brains blown that would make the pain go No! You got to find a way to survive cause they win when your soul dies... baby please don't cry... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoshanahlily Posted June 2, 2007 Share Posted June 2, 2007 TW maybe this song always makes me cry it reminds me of what i lost and hopefully someday a long long time from now i'll be able to laugh until i cry again. Something Beautiful -- Newsboys I wanna start it over I wanna start again I wanna a new beginning One without an end I feel it inside Calling out to me Chorus: It’s a voice that whispers my name It’s a kiss without any shame Something beautiful Like a song that stirs in my head Singing love will take us where Somethings beautiful I’ve heard it in the silence Seen it on a face I’ve felt it in the long hour Like a sweet embrace I know this is true It's calling out to me Chorus: It’s the child on her wedding day It’s the daddy that gives her away Something beautiful When we laugh so hard we cry Oh the love between you and I Something beautiful Chorus: It’s the child on her wedding day It’s the daddy that gives her away Something beautiful When we laugh so hard we cry It’s the love between you and I Something beautiful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bostonila Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 This song by avril lavigne when I'm feeling frustrated. "Take Me Away" I cannot find a way to describe it It's there inside; all I do is hide I wish that it would just go away What would you do, you do, if you knew What would you do [Chorus:] All the pain I thought I knew All the thoughts lead back to you Back to what was never said Back and forth inside my head I can't handle this confusion I'm unable; come and take me away I feel like I am all alone All by myself I need to get around this My words are cold, I don't want them to hurt you If I show you, I don't think you'd understand Cause no one understands [Chorus] I'm going nowhere (on and on and) I'm getting nowhere (on and on and on) Take me away I'm going nowhere (on and off and off and on) (and off and on) [Chorus] Take me away Break me away Take me away When I'm angry and depressed I listen to 3 Doors Down so I can 'vent' "When I'm Gone" There's another world inside of me That you may never see There're secrets in this life That I can't hide Somewhere in this darkness There's a light that I can't find Maybe it's too far away... Or maybe I'm just blind... Or maybe I'm just blind... [Chorus] So hold me when I'm here Right me when I'm wrong Hold me when I'm scared And love me when I'm gone Everything I am And everything in me Wants to be the one You wanted me to be I'll never let you down Even if I could I'd give up everything If only for your good So hold me when I'm here Right me when I'm wrong You can hold me when I'm scared You won't always be there So love me when I'm gone Love me when I'm gone... When your education X-Ray Cannot see under my skin I won't tell you a damn thing That I could not tell my friends Roaming through this darkness I'm alive but I'm alone Part of me is fighting this But part of me is gone [Chorus] Or maybe I'm just blind... [Chorus] Love me when I'm gone... Love me when I'm gone When I'm Gone When I'm Gone When I'm Gone When I think about my husband's love and support for me - "The Story" by Brandi Carlile All of these lines across my face Tell you the story of who I am So many stories of where I've been And how I got to where I am But these stories don't mean anything When you've got no one to tell them to It's true...I was made for you I climbed across the mountain tops Swam all across the ocean blue I crossed all the lines and I broke all the rules But baby I broke them all for you Because even when I was flat broke You made me feel like a million bucks Yeah you do and I was made for you You see the smile that's on my mouth Is hiding the words that don't come out And all of my friends who think that I'm blessed They don't know my head is a mess No, they don't know who I really am And they don't know what I've been through but you do And I was made for you... This song by Rascal Flatts when I need to think positive "My Wish" I hope that the days come easy and the moments pass slow, And each road leads you where you want to go, And if you're faced with a choice, and you have to choose, I hope you choose the one that means the most to you. And if one door opens to another door closed, I hope you keep on walkin' till you find the window, If it's cold outside, show the world the warmth of your smile, But more than anything, more than anything, My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it to, Your dreams stay big, and your worries stay small, You never need to carry more than you can hold, And while you're out there getting where you're getting to, I hope you know somebody loves you, and wants the same things too, Yeah, this, is my wish. I hope you never look back, but ya never forget, All the ones who love you, in the place you left, I hope you always forgive, and you never regret, And you help somebody every chance you get, Oh, you find God's grace, in every mistake, And you always give more than you take. But more than anything, yeah, and more than anything, My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it to, Your dreams stay big, and your worries stay small, You never need to carry more than you can hold, And while you're out there getting where you're getting to, I hope you know somebody loves you, and wants the same things too, Yeah, this, is my wish. This is my wish I hope you know somebody loves you May all your dreams stay big Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slinky_chix Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 SAVIOUR by VNV Nation As the stars appear I know I'll find you staring at the sky. Pointlessly reaching for some light You hope to guide your sorry way. Your body bleeding. Your body burned. Your body scarred. Around the cinder of your heart A God of love. A God of care. A God of hope. A God of words. A God as lost as you and blind to fill your hollow soul again. You seek a God to stand above you, wrapping healing arms around you. You'll find another God of pain, a God of suffering and tears. Give yourself unto your God. Sacrifice yourself again. Burn your thoughts erase your will to Gods of suffering and tears. Tie hallowed bonds around your hands. Kneel before this seat of shame to Gods as lost, Gods as blind, Gods of suffering and pain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MendingWall Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 i don't who sings it (a girl) its called "in the arms of an angel" i really like it but sometimes i cry at it I have no idea if it's been posted, but if it hasn't it probably should've been. Spend all your time waitingFor that second chance For a break that would make it okay There’s always one reason To feel not good enough And it’s hard at the end of the day I need some distraction Oh beautiful release Memory seeps from my veins Let me be empty And weightless and maybe I’ll find some peace tonight In the arms of an angel Fly away from here From this dark cold hotel room And the endlessness that you fear You are pulled from the wreckage Of your silent reverie You’re in the arms of the angel May you find some comfort there So tired of the straight line And everywhere you turn There’s vultures and thieves at your back And the storm keeps on twisting You keep on building the lie That you make up for all that you lack It don’t make no difference Escaping one last time It’s easier to believe in this sweet madness oh This glorious sadness that brings me to my knees In the arms of an angel Fly away from here From this dark cold hotel room And the endlessness that you fear You are pulled from the wreckage Of your silent reverie You’re in the arms of the angel May you find some comfort there You’re in the arms of the angel May you find some comfort here It's rather fitting for my first post to be in here to be in the music thread. Because music is half my passion, the other'll be spoken of soon enough I'm sure. Possible -- addressing abuser. Imagine that I can't be comforted at allIn pieces I went from crawling into a ball Evidence, it's in my breathing every day Less and less and less Hey you - you wore me out There was nothing left for anybody else Listen you, you're the last little shit that anyone expected Could put me through this Yeah it's true Turbulence, autopilot to control Down and down and down And if he's there then I'll take my order to go He shouldn't see, he shouldn't know Hey you - you wore me out There was nothing left for anybody else And you, you're the last little shit that anyone expected Could put me through this Yeah fucker it's true And over there in the corner of the room Sat little Jack Horner in his gloom Oh how you like it there Hey you- you slithered around while you ripped every vein out And you - your once so charming self inflicted tortured act It's a loser and a poser's tool Hey you - you wore me out There was nothing left for anybody else And you, you're the last little shit that anyone expected Could put me through this Yeah fucker it's true Imagine that. over. The next song's one I've known for a while, liked, and took up as a personal anthem... tonight. Because something has to give. I've lived five years on denial and disassociation... and as the bold part implies, healing's not a pretty process, it's necessary, and you have to feel it all to feel the good parts. "Shadow" would be, to me, that which hasn't been spoken of through all this time of denial. My shadow's Shedding skin and I've been picking scabs again. I'm down digging through My old muscles looking for a clue. I've been crawling on my belly Clearing out what could've been. I've been wallowing in my own Confused and insecure delusions For a piece to cross me over Or a word to guide me in. I wanna feel the changes coming down. I wanna know what I've been hiding in my shadow. Change is coming through my shadow. My shadow's shedding skin I've been picking my scabs again. I've been crawling on my belly Clearing out what could've been I've been wallowing in my own Chaotic and insecure delusions. I wanna feel the change consume me, Feel the outside turning in. I wanna feel the metamorphosis and cleansing I've endured within my shadow. Change is coming. Now is my time. Listen to my muscle memory. Contemplate what I've been clinging to. Forty-six and two ahead of me. I choose to live and to grow, Take and give and to move, Learn and love and to cry, Kill and die and to Be paranoid and to lie, Hate and fear and to do What it takes to move through. I choose to live and to lie, Kill and give and to die, Learn and love and to do What it takes to step through. See my shadow changing, Stretching up and over me Soften this old armor. Hoping I can clear the way By stepping through my shadow, Coming out the other side. Step into the shadow. Forty six and two are just ahead of me.

margie Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 (edited) i think that missy higgins has some great songs, and fiona apple too. anyway, some songs - MISSY HIGGINS LYRICS "Nightminds" Just lay it all down. Put your face into my neck and let it fall out. I know I know I know. I knew before you got home. This world you're in now, It doesn't have to be alone, I'll get there somehow, 'cos I know I know I know When, even springtime feels cold. But I will learn to breathe this ugliness you see, So we can both be there and we can both share the dark. And in our honesty, together we will rise, Out of our nightminds, and into the light At the end of the fight... You were blessed by a different kind of inner view: it's all magnified. The highs would make you fly, and the lows make you want to die. And I was once there, hanging from that very ledge where you are standing. So I know I know I know, It's easier to let go. But I will learn to breathe this ugliness you see, So we can both be there and we can both share the dark. And in our honesty, together we will rise out of our nightminds And into the light at the end of the fight. ...and in our honesty, together we will rise out of our nightminds And into the light... at the end of the fight... "Falling" Don't say what you're about to say. Believe me, you are my fate. And I believe you'll find a way, or will you keep on falling until you reach the ground? Of your lonely mind will you ever find yourself again? And will you keep on dying until you've finally found a better place where you find you will not wake up again? Cause what you see is crystal wall, what you breath is silver air, but weigh this moment with a future of your dreams no longer there. What you'll see is burning black, and what'll you see is empty air, so way this moment with a future of your dreams no longer there... You're falling... yeah, You're falling... yeah, So take my hand, and come on let's fly. There's always someone laughing, from the corner of their cage, but to fly amongst the mountains you must dance within the waves. Or will you keep on falling until you reach the ground? Of your lonely mind will you ever find yourself again? And will you keep on dying until you've finally found a better place where you find you will not wake up again? Cause what you see is crystal wall, what you breath is silver air, but weigh this moment with a future of your dreams no longer there. What you'll see is burning black, and what you'll see is empty air, so way this moment with a future of your dreams no longer there... You're falling... yeah, You're falling... yeah, So take my hand, and come on let's fly. "Scar" He left a card, a bar of soap and a scrubbing brush next to a note That said "use these down to your bones" And before I knew I had shiny skin and it felt easy being clean like him I thought "this one knows better than I do" A triangle trying to squeeze through a circle He tried to cut me so I'd fit And doesn't that sound familiar? Doesn't that hit too close to home? Doesn't that make you shiver; the way things could've gone? And doesn't it feel peculiar when everyone wants a little more? And so that I do remember to never go that far, Could you leave me with a scar? So the next one came with a bag of treats, she smelled like sugar and spoke like the sea And she told me don't trust them, trust me Then she pulled at my stitches one by one, looked at my insides clicking her tongue and said "This will all have to come undone" A triangle trying to squeeze through a circle She tried to blunt me so I'd fit And doesn't that sound familiar? Doesn't that hit too close to home? Doesn't that make you shiver; the way things could have gone? And doesn't it feel peculiar when everyone wants a little more? And so that I do remember to never go that far, Could you leave me with a scar? I think I realized just in time, although my old self was hard to find You can bathe me in your finest wine but I'll never give you mine 'Cos I'm a little bit tired of fearing that I'll be the bad fruit nobody buys Tell me, did you think we'd all dream the same? And doesn't that sound familiar? Doesn't that hit too close to home? Doesn't that make you shiver; the way things could have gone? And doesn't it feel peculiar when everyone wants a little more? And so that I do remember to never go that far, Could you leave me with a scar? Could you leave me with a scar? "Hold Me Tight" You cross the room to me, Put a little bit of paper in my hand, then leave. As the door goes bang, There's a little bit inside me that hopes it is blank. As the words you wrote are burning, In my head they keep returning, they said Hold me tight, cos I'm losing all the energy to fight. Yeah, hold me tight, cos I'm losing all the energy to fight. I should run outside, I should be running after you. I should need to cry. but I don't I stay, cos theres a little bit inside me, That likes this pain. As the words you wrote are burning, In my head they keep returning, they said Hold me tight, cos I'm losing all the energy to fight. Yeah, hold me tight, cos I'm losing all the energy to fight, for you. So I threw it away, right next to the others that all had the same refrain. Hold me tight, cos I'm losing all the energy to fight. Yeah, hold me tight, I've been throwing pointless flares at you you're nigh, So hold me tight, cos I'm losing all the energy to fight Hold me tight, cos I'm losing all the energy, Ohh, yeah I'm losing all the energy to fight. FIONA APPLE "Extraordinary Machine" I certainly haven't been shopping for any new shoes -And- I certainly haven't been spreading myself around I still only travel by foot and by foot, it's a slow climb, But I'm good at being uncomfortable, so I can't stop changing all the time I notice that my opponent is always on the go -And- Won't go slow, so's not to focus, and I notice He'll hitch a ride with any guide, as long as They go fast from whence he came - But he's no good at being uncomfortable, so He can't stop staying exactly the same If there was a better way to go then it would find me I can't help it, the road just rolls out behind me Be kind to me, or treat me mean I'll make the most of it, I'm an extraordinary machine I seem to you to seek a new disaster every day You deem me due to clean my view and be at peace and lay I mean to prove I mean to move in my own way, and say, I've been getting along for long before you came into the play I am the baby of the family, it happens, so - Everybody cares and wears the sheeps' clothes While they chaperone Curious, you looking down your nose at me, while you appease - Courteous, to try and help - but let me set your Mind at ease (Chorus) -Do I so worry you, you need to hurry to my side?

MendingWall Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 Garbage - Silence Is Golden If I am silent then I am not real But if I speak up then no one will hear If I wear a mask theres somewhere to hide Silence is golden I have been broken Safe in my own skin So nobody wins If I raise my voice will someone get hurt And if I cant feel then I wont get touched If no truths are spoken then no lies can hide Silence is golden Nobody gets in Safe in my own skin So nobody wins Did you hear me speak Do you understand Did you hear my voice Will you hold my hand Do you understand me Wont someone listen Nobody gets in My bodys a temple But nothing is simple Silence is golden I have been broken Something was stolen Safe in my own skin Lacuna Coil - Falling Again I lay, looking at my hands I search in these lines I've not the answer I'm crying and I don't know watching the sky I search for an answer I'm free, free to be I'm not another liar I just want to be myself... myself And now the beat inside of me is a sort of a cold breeze and I've never any feeling inside ruining me... bring my body carry it into another world I know I live... but like a stone I'm falling down I pray, looking into the sky I can feel this rain right now it's falling on me fly, I just want to fly life is all mine some days I cry alone, but I know I'm not the only one I'm here, another day is gone I don't want to die...

Ayanna Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 I have a bunch of them and I don't have the lyrics to them all on me right now, so I'll probably be back again sometime later to post some more of them... I Need Some Sleep- Eels I need some sleep It can't go on like this I've tried counting sheep But there's one I always miss Everyone says I'm getting down too low Everyone says "you've just gotta let it go" I need some sleep Time to put the old horse down I'm in too deep And the wheels keep spinning round Everyone says I'm getting down too low Everyone says "you've just gotta let it go" Cry- James Blunt I have seen peace I have seen pain Resting on the shoulders of your name Do you see the truth Through all their lies? Do you see the world Through troubled eyes? And if you want to talk about it any more Lie here on the floor And cry on my shoulder, I'm a friend. I have seen birth I have seen death Lived to see a lover's final breath Do you see my guilt? Should I feel fright? Is the fire of hesitation burning bright? And if you want to talk about what will be Come and sit with me And cry on my shoulder, I'm a friend. You and I have lived through many things. I'll hold on, hold on to your heart. I wouldn't cry for anything But don't go tearing your life apart. I have seen fear I have seen faith Seen the look of anger on your face. And if you want to talk about what will be Come and sit with me And cry on my shoulder, I'm a friend And if you want to talk about it any more Lie here on the floor And cry on my shoulder, I'm a friend Cry on the shoulder of a friend. (lyrics taken from Chasing Time, because I pefer that version to the one on Back to Bedlam) I have quite a few more but I'll probably post them later.

Ayanna Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 I've got a couple more that I know by heart... Scarlet's Walk- Tori Amos If you're a thought You would want me to think you And I did Invited a guest up Until you announced that You had moved in What do you plan to do with all your freedom? The new sheriff said Quite proud of his badge You must admit the land is now in good hands Yes time will tell that You just lift your lamp I will follow her on her path Scarlet's walk through the violets Just tell your gods for me All debts are off this year You're free to leave Yes you're free to leave Leaving terra Leaving terra There was a time When I thought that her destiny Should have been mine Big brave nation But instead her medicine Now forgotten What do you plan to do with all your stories? The new sheriff said Quite proud of his badge We'll weave them through every rocket's red glare And huddled masses You just lift your lamp I will follow her on her path Scarlet's walk through the violets Just tell your gods for me All debts are off this year You're free to leave Yes you're free to leave Leaving terra Leaving terra If you're a thought You would want me to think you And I did And I did. Mr. King- Nerina Pallot Good days, bad days I've had a few of those Same old story, I know how this song goes At least I did But now I'm not so sure Nothing's in its place Nothing's certain any more Bird's fly, trees sway, Why can't I be like that? Happy, knowing what I am in fact And leaving be But truth has been obscured I am only human And I'm always wanting more And the world is a place And they say it's on our side But I wonder, Is there comfort In those moments when we die Now I see, Mr. King, This was in the books you gave me Which I read, disbelieving Thinking poets are depressed Hey, Mr. King, I have changed I confess Oh those good days I remember well Tape on windows Wintertime was hell But it was fun. And people there were kind There was good work to be done And I learned to think my time And the world was a good place And in days where I lived I imagined life had purpose And I'd something good to give Mr. Cave played along On the battered hallway piano Oh, every love song a secret to be shared Oh, Mr. King, how I wish I was back there Now I've got ten things lined up on a shelf Reasons to be cheerful for myself I don't know why You're showing me the sky You say you see heaven, I see hell But want to try And the world is a place And I pray it's on my side But I'd find greater comfort If I just laid down and died Oh I don't know what's become Of a girl who once knew sunshine What's become of a girl Who knew sorrow But was strong Oh, Mr. King, you were right All along, Mr. King, you were right Oh, Mr. King, you were right I was wrong.

Ayanna Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 Back again with more... I'm sure I'll get through them all eventually. Learning to Breathe- Nerina Pallot Oh this road is long, this road is wide It thakes more than luck to last the ride- It takes strength, and it takes courage to survive. And did someone ever say to you 'There's nothing bound in thought you cannot do'? Well, I've seen some things but not all of them came true So I don't want to be the last, I don't want to be the first Don't want to be alone with my thoughts tomorrow And I don't want to be afraid, don't want to look away- I'm learning to breathe. No I don't want to be the last, I don't want to be the first I just need a hope and a light to follow. Like saiors look to stars to find their way home I'm learning to breathe on my own. And I know a man who lost his wife This is the way he chooses to describe his life: He says, 'If I think too much I find there's just a hole.' But before she went, she left a son He says, 'Dad, you're not the only one- Maybe love is just a requiem for the soul...' So I don't want to be the last, I don't want to be the first Don't want to be alone with my thoughts tomorrow And I don't want to be afraid, don't want to look away- I'm learning to breathe. No I don't want to be the last, I don't want to be the first I just need a hope and a light to follow. Like saiors look to stars to find their way home I'm learning to breathe on my own. Oh, do you still feel small? Just a speck of life on an ocean wave Does it pull us all? Does it pull us all? So I don't want to be the last, I don't want to be the first Don't want to be alone with my thoughts tomorrow And I don't want to be afraid, don't want to look away- I'm learning to breathe. No I don't want to be the last, I don't want to be the first I just need a hope and a light to follow. Like saiors look to stars to find their way home I'm learning to breathe on my own. I have at least 3 more but unfortunately my tea is nearly ready so I don't actually have time to post them right this minute... and I was too dopey to bring the lyrics downstairs with me anyway. Guess I'll just ahve to post them later. Anna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayanna Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 A Sorta Fairytale- Tori Amos On my way up north Up on the Ventura I pulled back the hood And I was talking to you And I knew then it would be A lifelong thing but I didn't Know that we We could break a silver lining And I'm so sad Like a good book I can't put this day back- A sorta fairytale with you Things you said that day Up on the 101 The girl had come undone I tried to downplay it with a Bet about us You said that you'd take it As long as I could I could not erase it And I'm so sad Like a good book I can't put this day back- A sorta fairytale with you And I ride along side And I rode along side you then And I rode along side Till you lost me there in the open road And I rode along side Till the honey spread itself so thin For me to break your bread For me to take your word I had to steal it And I'm so sad Like a good book I can't put this day back- A sorta fairytale with you I could pick back up whenever I feel Down New Mexico way Something about the open road I knew that he was Looking for some Indian blood and Find a little in you Find a little in me we May be on this road but We're just imposters in this country you know So we go along and we said we'd fake it Feel better with Oliver Stone Till I almost smacked him Seemed right that night and I don't know what takes hold Out there in the desert cold These guys think they must Try and just get over on us And I'm so sad Like a good book I can't put this day back- A sorta fairytale with you And I was riding by Riding along side for a while Till you lost me And I was riding by Riding along till you lost me Till you lost me in the rear view You lost me Way up north I took my day All in all it was a pretty nice day and I put the hood right back where You could taste heaven perfectly Feel out the summer breeze Didn't know when we'd be back and I- I don't- didn't thin we'd end up like Like this Silent All These Years- Tori Amos Excuse me but can I be you for a while My dog won't bite if you sit real still I got the anti-christ yelling at me again Yeah I can hear that Been saved again by the garbage truck I got something to say you know but nothing comes Yes I know what you think of me you never shut up Yeah I can hear that But what if I'm a mermaid In these jeans of his with her name still on it Hey but I don't care 'Cause sometimes I said sometimes I hear my voice and it's been Here silent all these years So you found a girl who thinks really deep thoughts What's so amazing about really deep thoughts Boy you best pray that I bleed real soon How's that thought for you My scream got lost in a paper cup You think there's a heaven where some screams have gone I got 25 bucks and a cracker do you think it's enough To get us there 'Cause what if I'm a mermaid In these jeans of his with her name still on it Hey but I don't care 'Cause sometimes I said sometimes I hear my voice and it's been Here silent all these years Years go by will I still be waiting For somebody else to understand Years go by if I'm stripped of my beauty And the orange clouds raining in my head Years go by will I choke on my tears Till finally ther is nothing left One more casualty You know we're too easy easy easy Well I love the way we communicate Your eyes focus on my funny lip shape Let's hear what you think of me now but baby don't look up The sky is fallin Your mother shows up in a nasty dress It's your turn now to stand where I stand Everybody looking at you here take hold of my hand Yeah I can hear them But what if I'm a mermaid In these jeans of yours with her name still on it Hey but I don't care 'Cause sometimes I said sometimes I hear my voice and it's been Here silent all these years I've got a couple more and I actually have the lyrics with me (I was vaguely organised for once!) but once again I don't have time to post them all.

Ayanna Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 Patience- Nerina Pallot Been good, been bad, got worse, got better. I feel I know myself when I'm looking in the mirror. Been hurt, been loved- I'm scarred, not bitter. I am an angel with the knowledge of a sinner. But what do I do, And how should I be? When I look at myself, I can only be me... I need a little patience... Been hard, been soft, been boeth, been niether Above it all, I am only a survivor. Been down, been low, got up, got higher- We are only human, all just liars... So I wait for the day when I open my eyes And I look to myself, but it's no big surprise I need a little patience... Well I'm sitting here and sinking and I'm on the 8th floor And I'm thinking do I jump or should I stay around for more? And I watch my friends get bigger and get better and get richer But I'm not bitter, no Time is ticking ticking ticking ticking ticking on with a vengeance I want it all I want it all I need a little patience... God- Nerina Pallot God is good, I never understood All the darkness in his soul. And God made man, the only way he can, But for a heart he left a hole.. And it's killing you And it's killing me too Are we failing the truth? I'm betting on desire, I'm betting on deceit I'm betting on a moment when everything is sweet I'm betting on disaster in every living hour. Would you burn your fingers if you touched God? Will he let you in if you have or not? Once my friend, I loved you as a child Kissed your face before I slept. Be in my head, and with me when I sleep In the bloodied tears he wept. And it's killing you And it's killing me too Are we failing the truth? I'm betting on indifference, I'm betting on belief I'm thinking of a beauty where everything's complete I'm betting on a laughter, a very distant star... Would you burn your fingers if you touched God? Will he let you in if you have or not? And it's killing you And it's killing me too Are we failing the truth in everything we do? Are we failing the truth? I'm betting on desire, I'm betting on deceit I'm betting on a moment when everything is sweet I'm thinking of that beauty I love with all my heart Would you burn your fingers if you touched God? Will he let you in if you have or not? Will he let you in? Black-dove (January)- Tori Amos She was a january girl She never let on how insane it was In that tiny kinda scary house By the woods By the woods By the woods Black-dove Black-dove You're not a helicopter You're not a cop out either Black-dove Black-dove You don't need a space ship They don't know you've already lived On the other side of the galaxy She had a january world So many storms not right somehow How a lion becomes a mouse By the woods But I have to get to Texas Said I have to get to Texas And I'll give away my blue blue dress She has a january girl She never let on how insane it was In that tiny kinda scary house By the woods Yeah okay so I'm pretty sure Black-dove is up here at least once already but I thought what the heck, I'll put it up again...

MendingWall Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 This is the song I was originally wanting to put in my signature. I wound up putting the song just after it on the same album, because I couldn't choose just one verse and because it would probably be triggering to those with self harm compulsions. Avalanche is sullen and too thin She starves herself to rid herself of sin And the kick is so divine when she sees bones beneath her skin And she says: Hey baby can you bleed like me? C'mon baby can you bleed like me? Chris is all dressed up and acting coy Painted like a brand new Christmas toy He's trying to figure out if he's a girl or he's a boy He says: Hey baby can you bleed like me? C'mon baby can you bleed like me? Doodle takes dad's scissors to her skin And when she does relief comes setting in While she hides the scars she's making underneath her pretty clothes She sings: Hey baby can you bleed like me? C'mon baby can you bleed like me? Therapy is Speedie's brand new drug Dancing with the devil's past has never been too fun It's better off than trying to take a bullet from a gun And she cries: Hey baby can you bleed like me? C'mon baby can you bleed like me? JT gets all fucked up in some karaoke bar After two drinks he's a loser after three drinks he's a star Getting all nostalgic as he sings "I Will Survive" Hey baby can you bleed like me? C'mon baby can you bleed like me? Hey baby can you bleed like me? C'mon baby can you bleed like me? You should see my scars You should see my scars You should see my scars You should see my scars Try to comprehend that which you'll never comprehend Try to comprehend that which you'll never comprehend Just try to comprehend that which you'll never comprehend Try to comprehend that which you'll never comprehend You should see my scars You should see my scars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
