Songs You Relate To

[Lionheart]

Love that song, Lionheart!

Me too, it is one of my favorites. :D

 

[Reclusive]

Stevie Nicks - Beauty and the Beast
"My darling lives in a world that is not mine
An old child misunderstood out of time
Timeless is the creature who is wise
And timeless is the prisoner in disguise"

 

[Kintsugi]

Metallica The Unforgiven

Lionheart, great selection! I knew I'd be learning some enlightening facts about music choice on here...

Just remember to please post 5 lines of text per song OR one cohesive stanza per song.

Keep it up, guys! I'm making myself a recommended playlist for the future out of these.

K's Choice
Butterflies Instead
"I lock the door and lock my head and
Dream of butterflies instead
The beauty of their colored wings
The trees, the grass, them pretty things
Imagination fills the void of my existence"

 

[Lionheart]

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

 

[Crl1983]

Nine Inch Nails-The Ruiner

You had all of them on your side didn't you?
You believed in all your lies didn't you?

The ruiner's got a lot to prove he's got nothing to lose and now he made you believe
The ruiner's your only friend well he's the living end to the cattle he deceives
The raping of the innocent you know the ruiner ruins everything he sees
Now the only pure thing left in my *** world is wearing your disease

The ruiner's a collector he's an infector serving his ** to his flies
Maybe there will come a day when those that you keep blind will suddenly realize
Maybe it's a part of me you took to a place i hoped it would never go
And maybe that *** me up much more than you'll ever know

What you gave to me
My perfect ring of scars
You know I can see what you really are

 

[Crl1983]

heres another one:
Plumb-Damaged

Dreaming comes so easily
'Cause it's all that I've known
True love is a fairy tale
I'm damaged, so how would I know

Healing comes so painfully
And it chills to the bone
Will anyone get close to me?
I'm damaged, as I'm sure you know

I'm scared and I'm alone
I'm ashamed
And I need for you to know

I didn't say all the things that I wanted to say
And you can't take back what you've
taken away
'Cause I feel you, I feel you near me
There's mending for my soul
An end to this fear
Forgiveness for a man who was stronger
I was just a little girl, but I can't go back

 

[Lionheart]

Evanescence
Bring Me to Life

I’ve been sleeping a thousand years it seems
got to open my eyes to everything
Without a thought, without a voice, without a soul
don't let me die here
there must be something more
bring me to life

 

[Kintsugi]

Crl, thank you for your participation. Please remember to only post 5 lines of text or one cohesive stanza to give everyone a taste!

That said, <3 <3 <3 NIN!!! If you like NIN, you may like...

VAST (Visual Auditory Sensory Theater)
Pretty When You Cry
"The moon gives me permission and I enter through her eyes
She's losing her virginity and all her will to compromise
I didn't wanna hurt you, baby, I didn't wanna hurt you
I didn't wanna hurt you, but you're pretty when you cry"

 

[Kintsugi]

Also good industrial....

Assemblage 23
Coward
"The cracks in you are starting to show
You will break before you bend
Get ready for your all time low
You will get yours in the end
Cry me a river"

 

[Nicolette]

I can't play by the rules in this thread (sorry MissAntiSunshine) but will say, when I had one, my CD rack was a musical story of my life. I would buy a CD which related to where I was at or how I felt (by words) and played it over and over.

Actually, I can play - here are two I thought of.

Nah!
Shania Twain

Well, I hope you learned a lesson,
'cause you'll never be messin'With my head again the way that you did
It was never gonna work;
you were too much of a jerk
I'm finally fed up with it

Breakaway
Kelly Clarkson

I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly.
I'll do what it takes till I touch the sky.
Make a wish, take a chance,
Make a change, and break away.
Out of the darkness and into the sun.

 

[Kintsugi]

You seem to be playing by the rules well!

The rules are only in place so that the thread stays manageable and readable for everyone. I am already feeling like I've gotten a lot of music to look up more of because of the samples all of you are giving me!

Tool
Ticks and Leeches

"My fruit is bruised and borrowed. You thieving bastards
You have turned my blood cold and bitter
Beat my compassion black and blue
Hope this is what you wanted, hope this is what you had in mind...
I hope you're choking. I hope you choke on this"

Disturbed
Intoxication
"Now you tell me you like it
Tell me you want it--you're mine
You don't need another one
Come on and tell me you like it
Tell me you want it--you're mine
And another one to me"

 

[Lionheart]

Staind
Outside

"I’m on the outside
I’m looking in
I can see through you
See your true colors
Cause inside you’re ugly
You’re Ugly like me
I can see through you
See to the real you"

Creed
One Last Breath

"Hold me now
I'm six feet from the edge and I'm thinking
maybe six feet
Ain't so far down"
