[nopointofliving]

I will share the lyrics of a song called desert rose by sting

I dream of rain
I dream of gardens in the desert sand
I wake in vain
I dream of love as time runs through my hand

 

[LingeringUnreal]

From the song Mother, Daughter, Pharmaprix by Fred Thomas

 

[Silenos]

Night is falling over my home
The land of snow and sorrow, oh carry me away from the cold
And I fall asleep, I will dream the last dream
All I was, is gone now and sorrow is all I feel

Night is falling over my home
The land of snow and sorrow, oh carry me away from the cold
And I fall asleep and I will not be afraid
All I was, is gone now and sorrow is all I feel

Wintersun - Land of Snow and Sorrow

 

[StevieNixs]

Sitting in the morning sun
I'll be sitting when the evening comes
Watching the ships roll in
Then I watch 'em roll away again, yeah
I'm sitting on the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away ...
I'm just sitting on the dock of the bay
Wasting time.

I left my home in Georgia
Headed for the Frisco Bay
'Cause I've had nothing to live for
It look like nothin's gonna come my way
So I'm just gon' sitting on the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away ...
I'm sitting on the dock of the bay, wasting time.

Look like nothing's gonna change
Everything, still remains the same
I can't do what ten people tell me to do
So I guess I'll remain the same, yes.

Sitting here resting my bones
And this loneliness won't leave me alone, listen
Two thousand miles, I roam
Just to make this dock my home
Now I'm just gon' sit, at the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away ...
Sitting on the dock of the bay
Wasting time.

 

[TheHatedOne]

I am a slave to the night.
I was born without hope.
I walk throughout the day,
lost in my dark dreams.

My thoughts are torn apart,
My soul is damned,
and so I count the hours,
until the end finally comes.

Come closer, come closer, come closer.
Come sweet death! Take my hand.
The world makes me sick.
Release me! Come sweet death!

Eisbrecher - Komm, süßer Tod (Come, sweet death)

 

[Dr Iron Arc]

What can I do, what can I do?
The only one for me is you.
What can I do, what can I do, what can I do?

Tell me, tell me, now why'd you have to hurt me, hurt me.
Now'd why you take my heart if you don't love me?
Tell me, tell me, just how to say goodbye now, bye now.
Just when I know I never will forget you?

What can I do to bring you back to me?
Tell me what to do to win your love!

Won't ever give you up, won't ever let go.
Even it breaks me, I will always know,
You are my only one, there is no other.
This sweet dream will never die!

Won't ever give you up, won't ever let go.
Even when you hurt me, I still love you so.
I'll let you take the lead, follow where you go,
Hear my plea, oh, won't you baby.

I love you, my one and only.

What can I do, what can I do?
The only one for me is you.
What can I do, what can I do, what can I do?



I have felt this way about three separate individuals and I hate that my heart continues to do this when thinking about any of them. I would sooner die than let myself have to add anyone else to this list.

 

[FuneralCry]

My favourite song, Funeral Cry by Dark Sanctuary. 'Death, close my eyes, stop my cries, misery, set me free.'

 

[Mixo]

"I Shall Believe" (Sheryl Crow)

Come to me now
And lay your hands over me
Even if it's a lie
Say it will be alright
And I shall believe

I'm broken in two
And I know you're on to me
That I only come home
When I'm so all alone
But I do believe

That not everything is gonna be the way
You think it ought to be
It seems like every time I try to make it right
It all comes down on me
Please say honestly you won't give up on me
And I shall believe
And I shall believe

basically all the lyrics from boysetsfire touch me very deeply. one of my favourites is Rookie: (any other boysetsfire fans out here?)


I never thought this could be me
I guess you never do
'Til it's happening to you
Like all the fun turns into shame
And all the could-have-beens
Rearrange

So little time, so many crimes
Guilt like a chain
Chokes my will away
Redemption never seemed so cruel
And all my gods
Never seemed so weak

Wake up, engage
Now derailed and enraged
It used to be so easy
Get up, I'm game
Now I'm sick and I'm tame
Counting cost with lost

Where is the hope they gave
And don't think that I can't hear you laugh
I used to be a lot like you, but now I'm only me
I used to be a lot like you, but now I'm only me, I'm only me

Drink to pills, to shots
Turns into shock
A habit and a pawn
For every hand goes round
The pain gets so damn loud
The hammer hits and I'm down, and I'm down, and I'm down, and I'm down

Trust no one, hey, why should I
They gave me the poison dressed like life
Cheated, smacked up and diseased
Cry to sleep and fight to eat

Used to be a pro at this
Now I've broken my own wrist
Rotten teeth and life unsung
You'll forget me when I'm gone

Wake up, engage
Now derailed and enraged
It used to be so easy
Get up, I'm game
Now I'm sick and I'm tame
Counting cost with lost

I used to be a lot like you, but now I'm only me
I used to be a lot like you, but now I'm only me, I'm only me

 

[Cherry Crumpet]

A lot of FATM songs do it for me. I found their music at a very dark point in my life.


Seems that I have been held in some dreaming state
A tourist in the waking world, never quite awake
No kiss, no gentle word could wake me from this slumber
Until I realize that it was you who held me under

Felt it in my fist, in my feet, in the hollows of my eyelids
Shaking through my skull, through my spine
And down through my ribs

No more dreaming of the dead as if death itself was undone
No more calling like a crow for a boy, for a body in the garden
No more dreaming like a girl so in love, so in love
No more dreaming like a girl so in love, so in love
No more dreaming like a girl, so in love with the wrong world

And I could hear the thunder and see the lightning crack
And all around the world was waking, I never could go back
'Cause all the walls of dreaming, they were torn wide open
And finally it seemed that the spell was broken

And all my bones began to shake, my eyes flew open
And all my bones began to shake, my eyes flew open

-Florence and the Machine - Blinding

And it's my whole heart
Weighted and measured inside
And it's an old scar
Trying to bleach it out
And it's my whole heart
Deemed and delivered a crime

I'm on trial, waiting 'til the beat comes out
I'm on trial, waiting 'til the beat comes out
Waiting 'til the beat comes out

Who's a heretic now?
Am I making sense?
How can you make it stick?
Waiting 'til the beat comes out
Who's a heretic, child?
Can you make it stick, now?
And I'm on trial

-Florence and the Machine - Which Witch

And I'm learning so I'm leaving
And even though I'm grieving
I'm trying to find a meaning
Let loss reveal it
Let loss reveal it

-Florence and the Machine - St. Jude

And the air was full
Of various storms and saints
Praying in the street
As the banks began to break
And I'm in the throes of it
Somewhere in the belly of the beast
But you took your toll on me
So I gave myself over willingly
Oh, you got a hold on me
I don't know how I don't just stand outside and scream
I am teaching myself how to be free

The monument of a memory
You tear it down in your head
Don't make the mountain your enemy
Get out, get up there instead
You saw the stars out in front of you
Too tempting not to touch
But even though it shocked you
Something's electric in your blood

And people just untie themselves
Uncurling lifelines
If you could just forgive yourself

But still you stumble, feet give way
Outside the world seems a violent place
But you had to have him, and so you did
Some things you let go in order to live
While all around you the buildings sway
You sing it out loud, who made us this way

I know you're bleeding, but you'll be okay
Hold on to your heart, you'll keep it safe
Hold on to your heart, don't give it away

-Florence and the Machine - Various Storms and Saints

And

'The Movie in My Mind' from Miss Saigon



They are not nice they're mostly noise
They swear like men, they screw like boys
I know there's nothing in their hearts
But every time I take one in my arms
It starts, the movie in my mind
The dream they leave behind
A scene I can't erase
And in a strong G.I's embrace
Flee this life, flee this place
The movie plays and plays
The screen before me fills
He takes me to New York
He gives me dollar bills
Our children laugh all day
And eat to much ice cream
And life is like a dream
Dream, the dream i long to find
The movie in my mind
I will not cry, I will not think
I'll do my dance I'll make them drink
When I make love it won't be me
And if they hurt me I'll just close my eyes and see
(They are not nice they're mostly noise)
The movie in my mind
(They kill like men they die like boys)
The dream that fills my head
A man who will not kill, who'll fight for me instead
He'll keep us safe all day, so no-one comes at night
To blow the dream away
Dream, the dream I have to find
The movie in my mind

And in a strong G.I's embrace
Flee this life, flee this place
A world that's far away
Where life is not unkind
The movie in my mind

 

[AlwaysAnhedonia]

Would? By Alice In Chains!!

 

[Insomniac]

It always takes me by surprise
How dark it gets this time of year
And how apparent it all becomes
..
And I will surely break
And every morning that I wake
God, it is the same
There's nothing more to it,
I just get through it
Oh, there's nothing more to it
I just get through it

- to a poet, first aid kit.

 

[Silenos]

- to a poet, first aid kit.

Holy shit I love First Aid Kit. One of my favourite songs of theirs is perfect for this thread. It earned a place on my 'funeral playlist'.

Nothing Has to Be True
Each and every breath we take
A step towards death and the moon is pale
And we might have seen something
But we ain't seen nothing yet

Spoiler: And I may have dreamt it...

And I may have dreamt it
Or it may have happened
When I stood right here
Waiting for a sign
For me to walk away

But I give in so easy
And I give up instantly
I chase what is gone
And my friends are getting tired
Of the shit that I pull

They say "Why do you love those
Who turn you into a fool
Why do you let them get to you
You should have been running
When you chose to stay"

Now I feel so far away
From the person I once was
I thought love was enough
You can tell yourself so many things
And nothing has to be true

Did you wake up last night
Drenched in your own sweat and tears
No it's not always easy
You get lost counting the years
Since you last felt like you were home
Since you last felt like you were home
Since you last felt like you were home
Oh I thought you were home

Angola - Cesária Évora

Ess vida sabe qu'nhôs ta vivê
Parodia dia e note manché
Sem maca ma cu sabura
Angola angola
Oi qu'povo sabe
Ami nhos ca ta matá-me
'M bem cu hora pa'me ba nha caminho
Ess convivência dess nhôs vivência
Paciência dum consequência
Resistência dum estravagância

 

[Wrennie]

 

[Bleak]

Black hole sun, won't you come
And wash away the rain
Black hole sun, won't you come
Won't you come

 

[Grav]

Here I sit and watch my world come crumbling down
I cry for help but no one's around
Silently screaming as I bang my head against the wall
It seems like no one cares at all
Always an emotion, but how can I explain; how can I explain?
Kind of like the scent of a rose, with words I can't explain, the same with my pain
Caught up in emotion, goes over my head; goes over my head!
Sometimes I got to think to myself is this life or death, am I living or am I dead

 

[Chaestergram]

« She says, "you don't want to be like me
Looking for fun, get me high for free
I'm dying, I'm dying"
She says, "you don't want to get this way
Street walk at night, and a star by day"
It's tiring, tiring »

Carmen by Lana Del Rey, at first it was quite hard to decide cause TONS but this one keep on giving me *those feelings* every time I listen to it as it describe most of my life

 

[Yolonoodle]

Hands are tied, my body bruised
Got me with nothing to win
And nothing left to lose

 

[Cherry Crumpet]

Who am I supposed to be?
When will I be complete?
When will they be proud of me?
It's getting harder to see

Slit my wrists, bloody fists
Questioning why I exist
Pain persists, evil gifts
Fucking up my life to shit

I'm worthless, I'm worthless
I'm worthless, slit my wrists until I bleed out

 

[Ironweed]

I'm Not Afraid - Frank Sinatra

One afternoon I came to hear
You sing a soft song into my ear
Who would have thought quite by chance
We might engage in a loving dance?

Coming together, coming apart
Lost in diversions, dancing stars
Caught in the quiet, off on our own
Coming together, standing alone

Are you afraid?
I'm not afraid

What about you, what about me?
Two years from now where will we be?
Each of us gone our separate ways
Lost in a headlong passage of days

Maybe we might give love a try
Extending the moment before "goodbye"
And for a gentle moment in time
We'll take what pleasure people can find

Are you afraid?
I'm not afraid

What is for real, what is false?
All of us seem to be caught in a waltz
Turning around, turning again
When will the dancing ever end?

As for us, you and me
Our eyes are open, we can see
Both of us know where we've been
Why must we both go dancing again?

Come join the dancing, come join the waltz
Don't look too closely at my faults
Why can't I die here in your arms?
Safe from the night and safe from the dawn

Back to the nowhere from where I came
Don't worry of me, I know what I am
Where I'm goin' and where I've been

I'm not afraid!
I'm not afraid!
No, I'm not afraid!



Frank Sinatra. Go figure.

Would? By Alice In Chains!!

every time I listen to this I wanna cry a pool of tears…only to remember how much of an asshole Mike Starr had been to Layne. smh.

 

[Ashu]

I have felt this way about three separate individuals and I hate that my heart continues to do this when thinking about any of them. I would sooner die than let myself have to add anyone else to this list.

I hold it true, whate'er befall;
I feel it, when I sorrow most;
'Tis better to have loved and lost
Than never to have loved at all.

 

[Ashu]

Out on the road today,
I saw a Deadhead sticker on a Cadillac.
A little voice inside my head said
Don't look back, you can never look back.
I thought I knew what love was.
What did I know?
Those days are gone forever.
I should just let em go, but

I can see you,
Your brown skin shinin in the sun.
You got that top pulled down and that Radio on, baby.
And I can tell you
My love for you will still be strong
After the boys of
ummer have gone.

 

[Dr Iron Arc]

Pretty self-explanatory on how this mostly expresses my pain…

 

[FailureGirl]

I'm happy for you, I'm smiling for you
I'd do anything for you, for you
It's always for you and never for me
And I need it to stop, so let me tell you, please
I'm always sad and I'm always lonely
But I can't tell you that I'm breaking slowly.

Closed doors, locked in, no keys
Keeping my feelings hidden, there is no ease
I need it to stop
And I want to be able to open up, but
My feelings are fatal
My feelings are fatal.

How many times must I keep it inside?
I need to let go and I swear that I've tried
But opening up means trusting others
And that's just too much, I don't want to bother
So I'll keep it inside and I'll bury it deep
I know it's not healthy, but you won't hear a peep
Though I'm always sad and I'm always lonely
I could never tell you that I'm breaking slowly

 

[Wrennie]

I can hear it, the song that spreads throughout paradise

Your wound that was inflicted by a nameless sin

Closing your heart while you show such a forced smile

You've thrown those joyful days somewhere

Just like some poet, you start to love loneliness

In this town which looks all gray because its colors has been snatched

You should know I am here, with wings that can set you free

I will hold you tight so don't be afraid, just scream until we're broken

Because there's a word that can kill even God here

We both become one then walk on barefoot

At the end of the sky that exceeds our barrier, this love song can be heard

Those eyes that were crystal clear, being impured by curse

But don't be afraid, just throw out your uncertainty

If I can hold those slender fingertips, then without ever releasing them I will start to walk with you to seek for "the answer"

The gray silhouette begins to crumble down

Then light overflows into the resurrected world

I embrace you to seek the warmth that isn't supposed to be allowed

Even if the words "I have a dream" are also to be taken from us

Even if the song of the wind also becomes a raindrop, I will protect you

At the end of the night that exceeds the sky, the angel's voice echoes

To you who starts to cry like a young girl, everything will eventually come to end

But after relieving ourselves, we'll be reborn and flap our wings once again

I will hold you tight so don't be afraid, just scream until we're broken

Because there's a word that can kill even God here

I embrace you to seek the warmth that isn't supposed to be allowed

At the the end of the end that exceeds the night, you should also hear the song that spreads throughout paradise
