[Ice_Fire]

Somewhere I belong is a song I relate to a lot as well. I relate to a lot of songs by LP. :)

[Lionheart]

"Epitaph"
King Crimson

The wall on which the prophets wrote is cracking at the seams
upon the instruments of death the sunlight brightly gleams
when every man is torn apart with nightmares and with dreams
will no on lay the laurel wreath when silence drowns the screams

Confusion will be my epitaph as I crawl a cracked and broken path
if we make it, we can all sit back and laugh
but I fear tomorrow I'll be crying

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.

Confusion will be my epitaph as I crawl a cracked and broken path
if we make it, we can all sit back and laugh
but I fear tomorrow I'll be crying,
yes, I fear tomorrow I'll be crying

@Lionheart777: I love those lyrics.

 

[Loveneverfails]

Apologies if I've posted this song already, but it's my current favorite. My freaking anthem.

"Diamond Eyes (Boom-Lay Boom-Lay Boom)"-Shinedown
[INTRO-Speaking]
I am the shadow, and the smoke in your eyes,
I am the ghost, that hides in the night

Boom-Lay Boom-Lay BOOM! [x4]

[VERSE]
Wait, wait a minute take a step back
you gotta think twice before you react
so stay, stay a little while
Because a Promise not kept is the road to exile
HEY! whats the circumstance
you'll never be great without taking a chance so
wait, you waited too long
had your hands in your pocket
when you shoulda been gone

[CHORUS]
Boom-Lay Boom-Lay BOOM!
One push is all you'll need
Boom-Lay Boom-Lay BOOM!
A fist first philosophy
Boom-Lay Boom-Lay BOOM!
We watch with wounded eyes
Boom-Lay Boom-Lay BOOM!
So I hope you recognize

I'm on the front line
Don't worry I'll be fine
the story is just beginning
I say goodbye to my weakness
so long to the regret
and now I see the world through diamond eyes

[VERSE]
DAMN! damn it all down
took one to the chest without even a sound so
What! What are you worth?
the things you love or the people you hurt
HEY! it's like deja vu
a suicidal maniac with nothing to lose
so wait, it's the exception to the rule
everyone of us is EXPENDABLE

[CHORUS]
Boom-Lay Boom-Lay BOOM!
One push is all you'll need
Boom-Lay Boom-Lay BOOM!
A fist first philosophy
Boom-Lay Boom-Lay BOOM!
We watch with wounded eyes
Boom-Lay Boom-Lay BOOM!
So I hope you recognize

I'm on the front line
don't worry I'll be fine
the story is just beginning
I say goodbye to my weakness
so long to the regret
and now I know that I'm alive
I'm on the front line
don't worry I'll be fine
the story is just beginning
I say goodbye to my weakness
so long to the regret
and now I see the world through diamond eyes

[BRIDGE]
Every night of my life
I watch angels fall from the sky
Every time that the sun still sets
I pray they don't take mine

I'm on the front line
don't worry I'll be fine
the story is just beginning
I say goodbye to my weakness
so long to regret

I'm on the front line
don't worry I'll be fine
the story is just beginning
I say goodbye to my weakness
so long to the regrets
and now I know that I'm alive

I'm on the front line
don't worry I'll be fine
the story is just beginning
I say goodbye to my weakness
so long to the regret
and now I see the world through diamond eyes
[REPEAT x2]

Boom-Lay Boom-Lay BOOM!

[Mcll]

Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata. I remember hearing it for the first time when I was 5 or 6 and instantly connected.

 

[amethist]

I have that as my ring tone on my house phone Mcll.

 

[Serasen]

Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata

This is probably the only song that will instantly calm me down when I feel stressed. I love it.

(This is a Taylor Swift song, but I have never heard her version.. I like the version from Glee. Glee is my "escape" programme. I love this song; it's like I could have written it myself, my inner child understands every line so deeply - so I'll post most of the lyrics. It makes me feel better to listen right now after a long and difficult day.)

Mean

You, with your words like knives,
And swords and weapons that you use against me -
You, have knocked me off my feet again.
Got me feeling like I'm nothing.
You, with your voice like nails on a chalkboard
Calling me out when I'm wounded.
You, pickin' on the weaker man.

Well you can take me down with just one single blow,
But you don't know, what you don't know.

Someday, I'll be living in a big old city -
And all you're ever gonna be is mean.
Someday, I'll be big enough so you can't hit me -
And all you're ever gonna be is mean.

Why you gotta be so mean?
You, with your switching sides
And your wildfire lies and your humiliation.
You, have pointed out my flaws again
As if I don't already see them.

I walk with my head down,
Trying to block you out.

'Cause I'll never impress you.
I just wanna feel OK again.
I bet you got pushed around,
Somebody made you cold -
But the cycle ends right now.

You can't lead me down that road.
You don't know, what you don't know.

Someday, I'll be, living in a big old city
And all you're ever gonna be is mean.
Someday, I'll be big enough so you can't hit me,
And all you're ever gonna be is mean.

Why you gotta be so mean?

And I can see you years from now in a bar - Talking over a football game
With that same big loud opinion but
Nobody's listening, washed up and ranting about the same old bitter things,
Drunk and grumbling on about how I can't sing.
But all you are is mean.
All you are is mean.

And a liar, and pathetic, and alone in life, and mean.

This is one of my favorite Skillet songs. It describes how I feel perfectly.

Monster-Skillet


The secret side of me, I never let you see
I keep it caged but I can't control it
So stay away from me, the beast is ugly
I feel the rage and I just can't hold it

It's scratching on the walls, in the closet, in the halls
It comes awake and I can't control it
Hiding under the bed, in my body, in my head
Why won't somebody come and save me from this, make it end?

I feel it deep within, it's just beneath the skin
I must confess that I feel like a monster
I hate what I've become, the nightmare's just begun
I must confess that I feel like a monster

My secret side I keep hid under lock and key
I keep it caged but I can't control it
'Cause if I let him out he'll tear me up, break me down
Why won't somebody come and save me from this, make it end?

I feel it deep within, it's just beneath the skin
I must confess that I feel like a monster
I hate what I've become, the nightmare's just begun
I must confess that I feel like a monster

It's hiding in the dark, it's teeth are razor sharp
There's no escape for me, it wants my soul, it wants my heart
No one can hear me scream, maybe it's just a dream
Maybe it's inside of me, stop this monster

"Karma Police" by Radiohead

Karma police, arrest this man​

He talks in maths​

He buzzes like a fridge​

He's like a detuned radio​

Karma police, arrest this girl​

Her Hitler hairdo is​

Making me feel ill​

And we have crashed her party​

This is what you get​

This is what you get​

This is what you get when you mess with us​

Karma police​

I've given all I can​

It's not enough​

I've given all I can​

But we're still on the payroll​

This is what you get​

This is what you get​

This is what you get when you mess with us​

For a minute there, I lost myself, I lost myself​

Phew, for a minute there, I lost myself, I lost myself​

For a minute there, I lost myself, I lost myself​

Phew, for a minute there, I lost myself, I lost myself​

Desiderata (Les Crane)
chours
You are a child of the Universe!
No less than the trees and the stars!
You have a RIGHT to be here!
And whether or not it is clear to you
No doubt the Universe is unfolding as it should!

Therefore, be at peace with God
Whatever you conceive him to be...
And whatever your labors and aspirations
in the noisy confusion of life
Keep peace with your soul
With all its shams, drudgery and broken dreams
It is still a beautiful world.
