Laney Posted May 25, 2003 Share Posted May 25, 2003 Bother - Stone Sour Wish I was too dead to cry My self-affliction fades Stones to throw at my creator Masochists to which I cater You don't need to bother; I don't need to be I'll keep slipping farther But once I hold on, I won't let go 'til it bleeds Wish I was too dead to care If indeed I cared at all Never had a voice to protest So you fed me shit to digest I wish I had a reason; my flaws are open season For this, I gave up trying One good turn deserves my dying You don't need to bother; I don't need to be I'll keep slipping farther But once I hold on, I won't let go 'til it bleeds (Solo: Corey) Wish I'd died instead of lived A zombie hides my face Shell forgotten with its memories Diaries left with cryptic entries And you don't need to bother; I don't need to be I'll keep slipping farther But once I hold on, I won't let go 'til it bleeds You don't need to bother; I don't need to be I'll keep slipping farther But once I hold on… I'll never live down my deceit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laney Posted May 26, 2003 Share Posted May 26, 2003 Epiphany by Staind Epiphany Your words to me just a whisper Your faces so unclear I try to pay attention Your words just disappear 'Cause it's always raining in my head So I speak to you in riddles because My words get in my way. I smoke the whole thing to my head and feel it Wash away 'Cause I can't take anymore Of this, I want to come apart, or dig myself a little hole inside your precious heart 'Cause it's always raining in my head Forget all the things I should have said I am nothing more than a little boy inside That cries out for attention, though I always try to hide And I talk to you like children, but I don't know how I feel I know I'll do the right thing If the right thing is revealed But it's always raining in my head Forget all the things I should have said Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 26, 2003 Share Posted May 26, 2003 I listen to a lot of differents types of music and musicians, but as cliched as this is for this board, I find Tori Amos lyrics especially healing. "Blood Roses" is the main one ("You give him your blood and your warm little diamond; he likes killing you after you're dead.... I shaved every place where you've been.... sometimes you're nothing but meat"). Also, "In the Springtime of His Voodoo," "Precious Things," "Crucify," and many others. For non-Tori songs, angry songs by Hole or Nirvana help me to get my anger out by listening, rather than by hurting myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laney Posted May 28, 2003 Share Posted May 28, 2003 Staind For You To my mother, to my father, It's your son or it's your daughter, Are my screams loud enough for you to hear me? Should I turn this up for you? I sit locked inside my head Remembering everything you've said This silence gets us nowhwere! Gets us nowhere way too fast! The silence is what kills me I need someone here to help me But you don't know how to listen And let me make my decisions 'Cause I sit here locked inside my head remembering everything you've said The silence gets us nowhere! Gets us nowhere to fast! All your insults and your curses make me feel like I'm not a person And I feel like I am nothing but you made me so do something 'Cause I'm fucked up because you are Need attention, attention you couldn't give I sit here locked inside my head Remembering everything you've said This silence get us nowhere!

Cira Posted May 31, 2003 Share Posted May 31, 2003 Laney and I are going to need our own forum at the rate the two of us are going... Here's a song I'm particularly loving. It so beautifully captures the way I've felt sooooo often. "Easier to Run" by Linkin Park It's easier to run Replacing the 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

butterflykt Posted June 3, 2003 Share Posted June 3, 2003 GRASSHOPPER TAKEOVER "bonecrusher" these kids are yumm!!! you won't be dissatisfied Hey bonecrusher. Am I what you wanted? Am I what you expected? Hey ballbreaker. I'd say my soul is haunted, my aim misdirected. Hey teen-ager. I'd say the meat's infested, half of you have been molested. Hey lovemaker. Only loving what you need, 'cause it feels good. Only loving what you need. Crushing bones can kill your speed. Cut you up but you won't bleed. Crushing bones can make you feel alright. Hey bonecrusher. So cool I'm cold. So cold my body's shakin'. And there's no one in the world. Life has lost its meaning. I'm always somewhere in between. Do you love yourself? Do you love yourself? Now my will is gone and it's all I had and it's everything I gave, aw you dirty little liar. What I thought you'd give was the air I breathe but you took my breath away, when you set my world afire.

Cira Posted June 4, 2003 Share Posted June 4, 2003 Laney - thanks for saving me some typing by posting "So Far Away". :biggrin: I'm addicted, too. Staind ROCKS. Here's my current fave. It may *T* for language...And parts of it (i.e. the 'forgiveness' part) don't apply, but there are just a couple of lines that I especially love. "Yesterday" by Staind You don't know what you've put me through It's okay, I've forgiven you <b>But in some way, hope it fucks with you Hope it fucks with you</b> Pre-Chorus <b>That I'm okay and I've made it through</b> But who's to say What you're going through I say no names Though I've wanted to Isn't it strange how it seems like... Chorus Yesterday, a boy and already afraid Locked deep inside, my place to hide To hide from how you made me feel And I wonder how's your brother Did he end up fucked up like me? Lost in himself, crying for help It's safe to say I learned to live without a pride Just a shell, with me stuck inside A prison, not a place to hide Not a place to hide Pre-Chorus (altered) But I'm okay and I've made it through But who's to say What you're going through I say no names Though I've wanted to Isn't it strange how it seems like... Chorus Chorus (altered) Yesterday, a boy and already afraid Locked deep inside, my place to hide To hide from how you made me feel And I wonder how's your brother Did he finally pull through like me? Finding himself, not needing help I'd like to say Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laney Posted June 4, 2003 Share Posted June 4, 2003 Staind so does rock, I saw them for the first time at Avalon Boston, back in like 1996. I've been an addict since. Have you ever heard his cover of Black by Pearl Jam? Or In your Eyes by Peter Gabriel? I like the originals, but the covers are even better! How about: Blow Away Live in my head for just one day I see myself and look away The road is showing now on my face Soon I'll disappear, I'll disappear without a trace Faces that I've seen turn old and grey I've lost too many friends along the way Memories I never thought would fade They fade and blow away I wish that I could disappear Unzip my skin and leave it here So I could be no one again And never let nobody, I'd let nobody, I'd let nobody in Faces that I've seen turn old and grey I've lost too many friends along the way Memories I never thought would fade They fade and blow away So now the walls are closing in Because in life you sink or swim Sometimes these shoes don't feel right in my head Feel like a book that can't be, A book that can't be, A book that can't be read Faces that I've seen turn old and grey I've lost too many friends along the way Memories I never thought would fade They fade and blow away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cira Posted June 4, 2003 Share Posted June 4, 2003 OMG, Laney, I'm about to die laughing. I was going to post that one last night, but was just waaaaay too tired, so I went to bed instead! I haven't heard those covers, but I'll have to see if I can download them...Though we both know it'll take 9345843 hours, since I <i>still</i> haven't gotten DSL.

Laney Posted June 6, 2003 Share Posted June 6, 2003 One more song from 14 Shades of grey, entitled "Reality" I also want to include something that really touched me. I like Staind so much b/c the lyrics seem to come out of a very real place, never hiding their real pain. I was reading Aaron Lewis' "thank you" page, and had to share this paragraph. "I'd like to thank you - all the people reading this right now for really listening to what I had to say when it seemed no one else would; for feelng my pain that I thought only I felt, and for accepting me for who I am - damaged and insecure and just trying to figure it out just like everyone else. To everyone who sends me letters through my Auntie Jeanna, you make me cry, you make me smile, you make me angry, you make me sad... you inspire me, you give me hope. Thank you." Reality The lights are on but you're not home You've drifted off somewhere alone Somewhere that's safe, no questions here A quiet place to hide from your fears Sometimes when your out of rope The way to climb back up is unknown The walls you build around yourself I guess they keep you here Are you afraid of what they think? Whoever "they" happen to be Or are you hiding from the scars of your own reality? So you sedate and drown in vain You've got a pill for everyday A suit and tie to mask the truth It's ugly head is starting to show through Sometimes when your out of rope The way to climb back up is unknown The walls you build around yourself I guess they keep you here Are you afraid of what they think? Whoever "they" happen to be Or are you hiding from the scars of your own reality? The monster you're feeding, your lack of perception The things you will do to fulfill addictions The light at the end of your tunnel is closing What is it that your so afraid of exposing You'd give it all up for what there for the taking Whatever it takes to keep your hands from shaking The same things you're thinking might make you feel better The same things that probably got you here Sometimes when your out of rope The way to climb back up is unknown The walls you build around yourself I guess they keep you here Are you afraid of what they think? Whoever "they" happen to be Or are you hiding from the scars of your own reality? The monster you're feeding, your lack of perception The things you will do to fulfill addictions The light at the end of your tunnel is closing What is it that your so afraid of exposing You'd give it all up for what there for the taking Whatever it takes to keep your hands from shaking The same things you're thinking might make you feel better The same things that probably got you here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cira Posted June 6, 2003 Share Posted June 6, 2003 Staind Addicts Anonymous, anyone? Why does it not surprise me that I had two songs in mind to post, and one of them was posted already? Ah, well, here's one that struck me in some unknown way. "Could It Be?" by...well, Staind, of course. Well I don't know what to say Because there's truth to what you say I know it kills you I'm this way There's something different every day Could it be that I never had the chance to grow inside? Could it be that my habit is to find a place to hide? Could it be that sometimes I say things just to disagree? Could it be that I'm only being me? Not easy living in my mind A little peace is hard to find My every thought is undermined By all the history inside Could it be that I never had the chance to grow inside? Could it be that my habit is to find a place to hide? Could it be that sometimes I say things just to disagree? Could it be that I'm only being me? I know I hear the words you said Over and over again I just can't get them through my head There's just too many voices Must be like living with the dead Waiting for me to begin To do the things that I have said And for this I'm sorry So there's some truth to what you say Could it be that I never had the chance to grow inside? Could it be that my habit is to find a place to hide? Could it be that sometimes I say things just to disagree? Could it be that I'm only being me?

butterflykt Posted June 7, 2003 Share Posted June 7, 2003 I LOVE staind also, but since a lot of those songs are allready up...so I tried to find some variety. Supertones anyone?? very diff. from Staind. and on scale of 1-10, I give them an overall 6. BUT the song Jury Duty is pretty neatly done. JURY DUTY The O.C. Supertones 5a.m. on Tuesday, why am i up so early? drive out to Santa Anna, cuz I've got jury duty no breakfast, short temper, and I cut my head shaving. 10 miles out I hit traffic some days just aren't worth saving And though I haven't had the best of days I want to stop and thank you, anyway At the court house, I waited, and waited and I waited at lunch time, my car stalled out I couldn't get it started Read a book by C.S. Lewis, I finished the last page Slept on my desk for three hours just like my highschool days No I haven't had the best of days but I want to stop and thank you anyway every single moment whether sleeping or awake is your creation and what you made is good I don't always thank you for the rough days and hard times in my life, even though I should Got home and decided I'd be in a bad mood my shy and quiet wife said she didn't like my attitude got a call from my mother, forgot my sisters birthday I'm a lousy older brother, safe to say I've had a bad day And though i haven't had the best of days but I want to stop and thank you anyway.

Guest Posted June 9, 2003 Share Posted June 9, 2003 *T* for religion This song really touched me... it showed me that even though God doesn't want me to ever have to go something this horrible, there is a reason that he wants me to go through all the pain of healing instead of just taking it all away, because God can take something even as horrible as this and use it for something good. The song is by Ginny Owens and is called "If You Want Me To." <center>The pathway is broken The signs are unclear I can't find the reason why You led me here But just because You love me the way that You do I will go through the valley If You want me to Now I'm not who I was When I took my first step And I'm clinging to the promise You're not through with me yet And if all of these trials can make me like You I will go through the fire If You want me to It may not be the way I would have chosen 'Cause it leads me through a world that's not my home But You never said it would be easy Only that I'll never go alone When the whole world turns against me And I'm all by myself And I can't hear You answer my cries for help I'll remember the suffering Your love put You through And I will go through the valley If You want me to</center> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 9, 2003 Share Posted June 9, 2003 This is another Ginny Owens song... it's a happier song, reminds me of what it will feel like when we have made it the end of our journey. It's called "Free." <center>Turning molehills into mountains, Making big deals out of small ones, Bearing gifts as if they're burdens, This is how it's been. Fear of coming out of my shell, Too many things I can't do too well, Afraid I'll try real heard and I'll fail - This is how it's been. Till the day you pounded on my heart's door, And you shouted joyfully, "You're not a slave anymore" <i>(Chorus)</i> You're free to dance- Forget about your two left feet And you're free to sing- Even joyful noise is music to me And you're free to love, Cause I've given you My love, and it's made you free I have set you free My mind finds hard to believe That You became humanity and changed the course of history, Because You loved me so. And my heart cannot understand Why You'd accept me as I am, But You say You've always had a plan, And that's all I need to know. So when I am consumed by what the world will say, It's then You're singing to me, As you remove my chains <i>(Repeat chorus)</i> Free from worry, free from envy and denial Free to live, free to give, free to smile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest she breathes Posted June 26, 2003 Share Posted June 26, 2003 hide and seek by ani difranco me and all the kids from the neighbourhood we play out in the street all summer long rule was we had to go home at nite when the street lights came on we were oblivious to the rest of the world we hold up the cars in the street we always played boys against girls and both sides would cheat strange men would stop their cars at the curb say "hey sweetheart, come here" and i would go up to the window and they would have their dick out in there hands and a sick little sneer i'd say "here we go again yeah, this time you win" i would feel dirty; i would feel ashamed but i wouldn't let it stop my game we would play hide and go seek territory would be the whole block sometimes the older boys when they find you they wouldn't want to tag you they just want to talk they say "what would you do for a quarter? come on, we don't have that much time" i'd think for a minute and i'd say "ok, give me the quarter first. fine" this time you win here we go again and i would feel dirty and i would feel ashamed but i wouldn't let it stop my game i remember my first trip alone on the greyhound bus a man who put his hands on me as soon as nite fell i remember when i was leaving how excited i was i remember when i arrived i didn't feel so well i remember the teachers who got me so sick scared, i went into the bathroom and i threw up in my hair i could go on but you know what it just gets worse so i should probably stop there. girl, next time he wants to know what your problem is girl, next time he wants to know where the anger comes from just tell him this time the problem is his just tell him the anger just comes it just comes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 27, 2003 Share Posted June 27, 2003 Fumbling Towards Ecstasy-Sarah McLachlan All the fear has left me now, I`m not frightened anymore. It`s my heart that pounds beneath my flesh. It`s my mouth that pushes out this breath, And if I shed a tear, I won`t cage it. I won`t fear love and if I feel rage, I won`t deny it. I won`t fear love. Companion to our demons they will dance and we will play. With chairs and candles and cloth making darkness in the day. It will be easy to look in or out upstream or down. Withought a thought and if I shed a tear, I won`t cage it. I won`t fear love and if I fell a rage, I won`t deny it. I won`t fear love. Peace in the struggle to find peace. Comfort on the way to comfort. And if I shed a tear I won`t cage it. I won`t fear love and if I feel a rage, I won`t deny it, I won`t fear love, I won`t fear love, I won`t fear love... That was the song that helped me after being molested and sexually abused multiple times as a child. It helped when I was 13-til now. Because of the fact that it was someone close. I dunno. It helped alot. Many more Sarah, Tori Amos, Ani.... so many artists have helped along the ways for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 28, 2003 Share Posted June 28, 2003 Oh, my goodness, there are soooo many songs I could post, like Tori and others, b/c music really really has been a key part in healing for me, and I don't think I would be able to dig deep enough inside myself w/o it. It brings out feelings and truth that I'm too afraid to let out. But the most recent ones are ones that have been really empowering and bring out my strength and power and confidence! So here's a couple by Christina Aquiliera that really say it for me. Thanks for Making Me a Fighter After all you've put me through, you think I'd despise you But in the end, I wanna thank you Cause you make me that much stronger Well I thought I knew you, thinking that you were true Guess I, I couldn't trust, called your bluff, time is up Cause I've had enough You were there by my side, always down for the ride But your joy ride just came down in flames cause your greed sold me out in shame After all of the stealing and cheating, you probably think that I hold resentment for you But uh uh, no no, you're wrong Cause if it wasn't for all that you tried to do I wouldn't know Just how capable I am to pull through So I wanna say thank you Cause it Chorus-- Makes me that much stronger Makes me work a little bit harder Makes me that much wiser So thanks for making me a fighter Makes me learn a little bit faster Makes my skin a little bit thicker Makes me that much smarter So thanks for makin me a fighter Never saw it coming, all of your backstabbing Just so you could cash in on a good thing, before I realized your game I heard your goin round, plain the victim now Well don't even begin feeling I'm the one to blame Cause you dug your own grave After all of the fights and the lies cause you're wanting to haunt me But that won't work anymore No more, It's over Cause if it wasn't for all of your torure, I wouldn't know how to be this way now And never back down So I wanna say thank you Cause it Chorus How could this man I thought I knew turn out to be unjust, so cruel Could only see the good in you, pretended not to see the truth You tried to hide your lies, disguise yourself, you're living in denial But in the end you'll see YOU WON'T STOP ME I am a fighter and I, I ain't gonna stop There is no turning back I've had enough Chorus ~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~ Keep On Singing My Song I woke up this morning with a smile on my face And nobody's gonna bring me down today Been feelin like nothing's been going my way lately I decided right here, right now, that my outlook's gonna change That's why I'm gonna say good-bye to all the tears I've cried, and every time somebody hurt my pride Feelin like they won't let me live life, and take the time to look at what is mine I see every blessing so clearly And I thank God for what I've got from above Chorus-- I believe they can take anything from me, but they can;t succeed in taking my inner peace from me They can say all they wanna say about me, but I I'm gonna carry on, I'm gonna keep on singing my song I never wanna dwell on the pain again There's no use reliving how I hurt back then Remembering too well the #### I felt when I was running out of faith Every step I'm 'bout to take, well its towards a better day Cause I'm about to Say farewell to every single lie, and all the fears I've held too long inside Every time I felt I couldn't try, and all the negativity inside Too long, I've been struggling, couldn't go on But now I've found, I'm feelin strong, and I'm movin on Chorus Every time I tried to be what they wanted from me, it never came naturally So I ended up in misery, was unable to see all the good around me Wasted so much energy on what they thought of me than simply just remembering to breathe I've learned I'm himanly inable to please everyone at the same time, so now I find my peace of mind living one day at a time In the end I answer to one God, comes down to one love, till I get to heaven above I have made the decision never to give in, till the day I die, no matter what I'm gonna carry on, I'm gonna keep on singing my song Chorus The lyrics are awesome, but then her voice and style just add so much more energy and life to the songs!

Shell Posted July 2, 2003 Share Posted July 2, 2003 Ok, no one laugh (and that is an order!) but my son and daughter are currently in love with the Disney movie Mulan and there is a song in there which was apparently released as a single and the words really struck a chord with me - I still feel like I have this secret self inside. Refection Look at me You make think you see who I really am But you'll never know me Ev'ry day It's as if I play a part Now I see If I wear a mask I can fool the world But I cannot fool my heart Who is that girl I see Staring straight back at me? When will my reflection show Who I am inside? I am now In a world where I have to hide my heart But somehow I will show the world What's inside my heart And be loved for who I am Who is that girl I see Staring straight back at me? Why is my reflection someone I don't know? Must I pretend that I'm Someone else for all time? When will my reflection show Who I am inside? There's a heart that must be free to fly That burns with a need to know the reason why Why must we all conceal What we think, How we feel? Must there be a secret me I'm forced to hide? I won't pretend that I'm Someone else For all time! When will my reflection show Who I am inside? When will my reflection show Who I am inside?
