Discussion Song Lyrics

[foxdie]

Help, I'm alive, my heart keeps beating like a hammer
Hard to be soft, tough to be tender
Come take my pulse, the pace is on a runaway train
Help, I'm alive, my heart keeps
Beating like a hammer

Help, I'm Alive By Metric

 

[Trannydiary]

Sometimes I'd like to quit
Nothin' ever seems to fit
Hangin' around
Nothin' to do but frown

Rainy Days and Mondays by Carpenters

 

[foxdie]

So many wars, settling scores
Bringing us promises, leaving us poor
I heard them say, "love is the way"
"Love is the answer, " that's what they say

But look how they treat us, make us believers
We fight their battles, then they deceive us
Try to control us, they couldn't hold us
'Cause we just move forward like Buffalo Soldiers

Wavin' Flag By K'naan

 

[newave3]

I cut myself but I don't bleed
'Cause I don't get what I need
Doesn't matter what I say
Tomorrow's still another day

Birth, school, work, death
Birth, school, work, death

Yeah, I've been high and I've been low
And I don't know where to go
I'm living on the never, never, never
This time it's gonna be forever

I'll live and die don't ask me why
I wanna go to paradise
And I don't need your sympathy
There's nothing in this world for me

Birth, School, Work, Death by The Godfathers

No compass comes with this life just eyes

[140 bpm]

That's a great thread, thank you.
I'll start with classic one, which every other person on this forum can be related to.

I was alone, falling free
Trying my best not to forget
What happened to us, what happened to me
What happened as I let it slip

I was confused by the powers that be
Forgetting names and faces
Passers by were looking at me
As if they could erase it

Baby, did you forget to take your meds?
Baby, did you forget to take your meds?
...

Meds
By Placebo

 

[foxdie]

I must've lived a thousand times
But every day begins the same
'Cause there's a small town in my mind
How can I leave without hurting everyone that made me?

Small Town Moon By Regina Spektor

Song lyrics in my signature as well as the ones in my about section. Each from a different song. Though these songs actually relate to events from within their respective video games, I find their lyrics applicable enough to how I often feel at times.

My Dying Bride - For My Fallen Angel​

As I draw up my breath,
And silver fills my eyes.
I kiss her still,
For she will never rise.

On my weak body,
Lays her dying hand.
Through those meadows of Heaven,
Where we ran.

Like a thief in the night,
The wind blows so light.
It wars with my tears,
That won't dry for many years.

"Loves golden arrow
At her should have fled,
And not Deaths ebon dart
To strike her dead."

"The Celts"

Hi-ri, Hi-ro, Hi-ri.
Hoireann is O, ha hi, ra ha, ra ho ra.
Hoireann is O, ha hi, ra ha, ra ha ra.
Hi-ri, Hi-ra, Hi-ri.

Saol na saol,
Tus go deireadh.
Ta muid beo
Go deo.

Saol na saol,
Tus go deireadh.
Ta muid beo
Go deo.

Hi-ri, Hi-ra, Hi-ri,
Hoireann is O, ho hi, ra ha, ra ha ra.

[Translation]

Life of lives,
Beginning to the end.
We are alive
Forever.

Life of lives,
Beginning to the end.
We are alive
Forever.

Waking up for breakfast
Burning matches
Talking quickly
Breaking baubles
Throwing garbage
Drinking soda
Looking happy
Taking pictures
So completely stupid
Just go away

There's No Home For You Here

[UiopQwerty]

"Black Sabbath" - Black Sabbath

What is this that stands before me?
Figure in black which points at me
Turn around quick, and start to run
Find out I'm the chosen one
Oh no

Big black shape with eyes of fire
Telling people their desire
Satan's sitting there, he's smiling
Watches those flames get higher and higher
Oh no, no, please God help me

Is it the end, my friend?
Satan's coming 'round the bend
People running 'cause they're scared
The people better go and beware
No, no, please God help me

 

[140 bpm]

Take me down to the river bend
Take me down to the fighting end
Wash the poison from off my skin
Show me how to be whole again

Fly me up on a silver wing
Past the black where the sirens sing
Warm me up in a nova's glow
And drop me down to the dream below

'Cause I'm only a crack in this castle of glass
Hardly anything there for you to see
For you to see

Bring me home in a blinding dream
Through the secrets that I have seen
Wash the sorrow from off my skin
Show me how to be whole again

'Cause I'm only a crack in this castle of glass
Hardly anything there for you to see
For you to see

'Cause I'm only a crack in this castle of glass
Hardly anything else I need to be
'Cause I'm only a crack in this castle of glass
Hardly anything there for you to see
For you to see
For you to see

Castle of Glass
By Linkin Park

 

[Weary Soul]

Live to Tell, by Madonna.

I like these lyrics, not because of what they say per se, but because it is in the OST for a movie that shows abuse and traumatic events (good, but very sad movie). The movie was "At close range" based on a true story.

I have a tale to tell
Sometimes it gets so hard to hide it well
I was not ready for the fall
Too blind to see the writing on the wall

A man can tell a thousand lies
I've learned my lesson well
Hope I live to tell
The secret I have learned, 'til then
It will burn inside of me

I know where beauty lives
I've seen it once, I know the warm she gives
The light that you could never see
It shines inside, you can't take that from me

A man can tell a thousand lies
I've learned my lesson well
Hope I live to tell
The secret I have learned, 'til then
It will burn inside of me

The truth is never far behind
You kept it hidden well
If I live to tell
The secret I knew then
Will I ever have the chance again

If I ran away, I'd never have the strength
To go very far
How would they…

Monty Python - Every Sperm Is Sacred​

There are Jews in the world there are Buddhists
There are Hindus and Mormons, and then
There are those that follow Mohammed, but
I've never been one of them

I'm a Roman Catholic
And have been since before I was born
And the one thing they say about Catholics is
They'll take you as soon as you're warm

You don't have to be a six-footer
You don't have to have a great brain
You don't have to have any clothes on you're
A Catholic the moment Dad came

Because every sperm is sacred
Every sperm is great
If a sperm is wasted
God gets quite irate

Every sperm is sacred
Every sperm is great
If a sperm is wasted
God gets quite irate

Let the heathen spill theirs
On the dusty ground
God shall make them pay for
Each sperm that can't be found

Every sperm is wanted
Every sperm is good
Every sperm is needed
In your neighborhood

Hindu, Taoist, Mormon
Spill theirs just anywhere
But God loves those who treat their
Semen with more care

Every sperm is sacred
Every sperm is great
If a sperm is wasted
God get quite irate

Every sperm is sacred
Every sperm is good
Every sperm is needed
In your neighborhood

Every sperm is useful
Every sperm is fine
God needs everybody's
Mine and mine and mine

Let the pagan spill theirs
Over mountain, hill, and plain
God shall strike them down for
Each sperm that's spilt in vain

Every sperm is sacred
Every sperm is good
Every sperm is needed
In your neighborhood

Every sperm is sacred
Every sperm is great
If a sperm is wasted
God gets quite irate

 

[MindFrog]

No, I don't need no help
I can sabotage me by myself

I don't need no one else

"The world is riddled with maggots
The maggots are getting fat
They're making a tasty meal of all
The bosses and bureaucrats"

 

[Dortydoo]

It's under my skin
Just from what I can muster up
I've forgotten the scent
This picture of you is not enough
Oh, can we go back?
Oh, being on my own won't do
To where it all began
Standing deep in the must of the room

All out
Out of excuses for being alone
Now without a doubt
I think it's time we set things in motion
Now I'm all out
Out of reasons to push these feelings aside

Done living in this house
Done keeping it down
Done being anywhere but your side
Done being anywhere but your side

Corbin-All Out

 

[Weary Soul]

I'm holding on your rope
Got me ten feet off the ground
And I'm hearing what you say
But I just can't make a sound

You tell me that you need me
Then you go and cut me down, but wait
You tell me that you're sorry
Didn't think I'd turn around, and say

That it's too late to apologize
It's too late
I said it's too late to apologize
It's too late

I'd take another chance
Take a fall, take a shot for you
Ooh I need you like a heart needs a beat
But it's nothing new, yeah, yeah

I loved you with a fire red
Now it's turning blue, and you say
Sorry like an angel
Heaven let me think was you
But I'm afraid

It's too late to apologize
It's too late
I said it's too late to apologize
It's too late

It's too late to apologize
It's too late
I said it's too late to apologize
It's too late

I said it's too late to apologize, yeah
I said it's too late to apologize, yeah

I'm holding on your rope
Got me ten feet off the ground

Its Too Late to Apologize - One Republic

 

[KickFive]

There's traffic on the northern line
We say goodbye the final time
Pretend that we meant something more than this
When the memories you left behind
Remind me you were never mine
The lonely train you left without a kiss

The golden girl, the silver spoon
The eyes like pearls that wept too soon
Haunt me up until the day I die
I climb aboard the sinking ship
Biting on my bottom lip
And wait for time to heal my pride
But time was never on my side
Me and you were just a ride

Seven weeks have come to pass
I stumble on the photograph
To see the lucky man to take my place
Cloak and dagger from the start
You twist the knife into my heart
Watch my eyes bleed tracks upon my face

Me who lost the will to live
When you who lost the will to give
Taking with the little left inside
I climb aboard the sinking ship
Biting on my bottom lip
And wait for time to heal my pride
But time was never on my side
Me and you were just a ride
Me and you were just a ride
Me and you were just...

You lied, you lied, you lied, you liar
You lied, you lied, you lied, you liar
You lied, you lied, you lied, you liar...

 

[Intotheflames]

Lost but now I am found
I can see but once I was blind
I was so confused as a little child
Tried to take what I could get
Scared that I couldn't find
All the answers, honey

Don't make me sad, don't make me cry
Sometimes love is not enough and the road gets tough, I don't know why
Keep making me laugh
Let's go get high
The road is long, we carry on
Try to have fun in the meantime

Born to die by Lana del Rey

Flames to dust
Lovers to friends
Why do all good things come to an end?
Flames to dust
Lovers to friends
Why do all good things come to an end?
Come to an end, come to an (end)
Why do all good things come to an (end)
Come to an end, come to an (end)
Why do all good things come to an

Well, the dogs were barking at the new moon
Whistling a new tune
Hoping it would come soon
And the sun was wondering if it should
Stay away for a day
Till the feeling went away
And the sky was falling
And the clouds were dropping
And the rain forgot how to bring salvation
The dogs were barking at the new moon
Whistling a new tune
Hoping it would come soon
So that they could die

All good things come to an end by Nelly Furtado

 

[nicetomeetu]

Between the iron gates of fate,
The seeds of time were sown,
And watered by the deeds of those
Who know and who are known;
Knowledge is a deadly friend
When no one sets the rules.
The fate of all mankind I see

Is in the hands of fools...

King Crimson - Epitaph​

The Waters of March (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waters_of_March#Lyrics ) Antonio Carlos Jobim.

I first heard this as a kid and it really got me ... looking forward to all that sadness ...

​

( A Susannah McCorkle version (RIP) on YT is of it's time. NOVA -Aguas de Marco in Portuguese is lovely too ... )


A stick, a stone
It's the end of the road
It's the rest of a stump
It's a little alone
It's a sliver of glass
It is life, it's the sun
It is night, it is death
It's a trap, it's a gun
The oak when it blooms
A fox in the brush
The knot in the wood
The song of a thrush
The wood of the wind
A cliff, a fall
A scratch, a lump
It is nothing at all
It's the wind blowing free
It's the end of the slope
It's a beam it's a void
It's a hunch, it's a hope
And the river bank talks
Of the waters of March
It's the end of the strain
The joy in your heart


The foot, the ground
The flesh and the bone
The beat of the road
A slingshot stone
A fish, a flash
A silvery glow
A fight, a bet
The range of a bow
The bed of the well
The end of the line
The dismay in the face
It's a loss, it's a find
A spear, a spike
A point, a nail
A drip, a drop
The end of the tale
A truckload of bricks
In the soft morning light
The shot of a gun
In the dead of the night
A mile, a must
a thrust, a bump
It's a girl, it's a rhyme
It's a cold, it's the mumps
The plan of the house
The body in bed
And the car that got stuck
It's the mud, it's the mud
A float, a drift
A flight, a wing
A hawk, a quail
The promise of spring
And the river bank talks
Of the waters of March
It's the promise of life
It's the joy in your heart

 

[BitterlyAlive_]

I fell into a burning ring of fire
I went down, down, down and the flames went higher
And it burns, burns, burns
The ring of fire, the ring of fire
Ring of Fire by Johnny Cash

It's how my stupid mental illnesses make me feel. Just burning alive over here.

 

[Isadeth]

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 - Tori Amos

I know the song lyrics mean something else than how I interpret them. But after I lost on son, they really stood out to me. Not the chorus. But this part. Since he died in January I felt I held the burden... always trying to keep others happy so I would suffer mostly silently. I dreamed of joining him, literally disappearing into the woods.

 

[foxdie]

Hi, I'm Icarus, I'm falling
Down on this day of tears and mourning
From the dust of earth returning
Man for judgment must prepare me
Spare, oh god, in mercy spare me

Lacrimosa By Regina Spektor

 

[Intotheflames]

A tell-tale sign
You don't know where to draw the line

And why'd you say
It's just another day, nothing in my way
I don't wanna go, I don't wanna stay
So there's nothing left to say
And why'd you lie
When you wanna die, when you hurt inside
Don't know what you lie for anyway
Now there's nothing left to say

Well for a lonely soul, you're having such a nice time
For a lonely soul, you're having such a nice time
For a lonely soul, it seems to me that you're having such a nice time
You're having such a nice time

Nothing in my way by Keanu

 

[NodusTollens]

This song encompasses how I feel regarding myself, I could be upset about losing friends... but have I been an easy friend to have? I could be upset over how hard life is, but I never ask for help. & how all the while I think about letting go.

—/—/—​

Called to the Devil and the Devil did come
I said to the devil, "Devil do you like drums?
Do you like cigarettes, dominoes, rum?"
He said only "sundown, Sundays, Christmas"
Some day's end when I need a few friends
Now and again I could never hope to keep them
Thought to give friends what I thought that they wanted
Never had they needed a good friend as I've been

Don't get me venting on friends who resent you
'Cause all you've ever done is been a noose to hang on to
They thought was a necklace and reckless they fell into hell
Where you both hang with nothing to do but

Scratch, kick, let gravity win like
Fuck this, let gravity win like
You could leave it all behind
Even the Devil needs time alone sometimes
You could let it all go, you could let it all go
It's called: freefall
It's called: freefall

Called to the Devil and the Devil said quit
Can't be bothered better handle your shit
Keep about your wits man, keep about your wits
Know yourself and who you came in with
Can I sit down I've been hustling all day
I can't even count how many souls I've made
Off the same deal you on
Remember, the Devil ain't a friend to no one
But fine, true

You could let it all go, you could let it all go
It's Called: Freefall
It's Called: Freefall

Called to the Devil and the Devil said
Hey! Why you been calling this late?
It's like 2 A.M. and the bars all close at 10 in hell, that's a rule I made
Anyway, you say you're too busy saving everybody else to save yourself
And you don't want no help, oh well
That's the story to tell

Like you could let it all go, you could let it all go
It's called: freefall
It's called: freefall
You could let it all go, you could let it all go
Cause ain't shit free but falling out
And that shit's easy let me show you how, it's like

Ain't shit free but falling out
And that shit's easy let me show you how it's like

It's Called: Freefall by Rainbow Kitten Surprise

 

[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, 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 if 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 Love You My One and Only - Rhythm Heaven Fever Remix 8

Pretty much exactly how I feel now about the girl from a few months ago...... The song actually SOUNDS way more upbeat than these lyrics would have you believe lol.
