Lyrics And Healing

[ashdawn8287]

I love lyrics to songs. I have actually wrote and had my friend produce a couple of my songs. He plays them around bars at town still. I have always found it very healing. I like lyrics that say exactly how you feel and you get the chills. Or it sends you a message that is so powerful. Could you guys please post some of your favorite lyrics to songs (or your own) about this healing journey you are on? Thanks. Here is one of mine:

LET IT HURT by Rascal Flatts
7:42 in the morning
8 seconds before it all sinks in
Put your best face on for the world
Fake another smile and just pretend
But you're just puttin' off the pain
Nothing's ever really gonna change

[Chorus:]
So let it hurt, let it bleed
Let it take you right down to your knees
Let it burn to the worst degree
May not be what you want, but it's what you need
Sometimes the only way around it
Is to let love do it's work
And let it hurt
Yeah, let it hurt

3:28 in the morning
Countin' up the spaces between the rain
You're gettin' used to the rocks at the bottom
Your heart goes numb, but the lonely stays the same
And that's the price you're bound to pay
And there's really nothing anyone can say
Oh, there's only just one way

[Chorus:]
So let it hurt, let it bleed
Let it take you right down to your knees
Let it burn to the worst degree
May not be what you want, but it's what you need
Sometimes the only way around it
Is to let love do it's work
So go on
Yeah, let it hurt

You might just find you're better for it
When you let go and you learn
To let it hurt, let it bleed
Let it take you right down to your knees
Oh...
Sometimes the only way around it
Is to let love do it's work
So go on
And let it hurt
Oh, let it hurt

7:42 in the morning
8 seconds before it all sinks in

Okay, sorry. I typed in Music and I typed in lyrics and didn't see what I was trying to start a discussion on. I was more interested in the lyric/writing than the actual music.

Wow! I'd love to read your lyrics sometime Ashdawn :)

Broken Girl by Matthew West has helped my healing journey. Check out the lyrics here

love your lyrics ashdawn. You are very artistic obviously. :)

Yes song lyrics can really be profound in some songs and really ring true to your feelings. Writing them is a good way of letting them out and being heard I think. :)

one I like is savage garden To the moon and back.
She's taking her time making up the reasons
To justify all the hurt inside
Guess she knows from the smiles and the look in their eyes
Everyone's got a theory about the bitter one
They're saying "Mamma never loved her much"
And,"Daddy never keeps in touch
That's why she shies away from human affection"
But somewhere in a private place
She packs her bags for outer space
And now she's waiting for the right kind of pilot to come
And she'll say to him

I would fly to the moon and back if you'll be my baby
Got a ticket for a world where we belong
So would you be my baby?
She can't remember a time when she felt needed
If love was red then she was color blind
All her friends they've been tried for treason
And crimes that were never defined
She's saying"Love is like a barren place
And reaching out for human faith is like a journey
I just don't have a map for"
So baby's gonna take a dive and
Push the shift to overdrive
Send a signal that she's hanging
All her hopes on the stars
What a pleasant dream
I would fly to the moon and backif you'll be my baby
Got a ticket for a world where we belong "repeat"

also pretender by the foo fighters.

Good thread. I have lyrics but am not in the right mood to put them here at the moment. sorry. :0

best wishes
