I had to post all of the lyrics to Forty Six & 2 Sorry. They all mean something to me.

I did that on the page before this, too.

Garbage - The Trick is to Keep Breathing [V2.0]

Forgot that this existed.

You also reminded me of the APC song above when you said you liked them.

Great musical tastes going on in here.

:D

I listen to APC so religiously, haha. Their latest album is a little political, but it has a great mellow cover of When The Levee Breaks.

Speaking of Garbage, they are working on another album together after all this time. They got me through some hard times, I won't lie.

I love A Perfect Circle! How about the song "Rose":

Don't disturb the beast, the temperamental
Goat, the snail while he's feeding on the
Rose, stay frozen, compromise what
I will, I am

Bend around the wind, silently
Blown about again, I'm treading so
Soft and lightly, compromising
My will, I am

I am, I will, so no longer
Will I lay down, play dead, play your doe
In the headlights, locked down and terrified, your
deer in the headlights, shot down and horrified, when
push comes to pull comes to shove comes to step around this
self-destructive dance that never would've ended till
I rose, I roared aloud here
I will, I am

I am, I will, so no longer
Will I lay down, play dead, play this
Knee down, gun-shy, martyr, pitiful
I rose
I roared
I will
I am

Moby
Wait for me
I'm gonna ask you to look away
I love my hands but it hurts to pray
Life I have isn't what I've seen
The sky is not blue and the field is not green

Wait for me
Wait, wait for me
Wait for me

I'm gonna ask you to look away
A broken life will never stay
I tried too hard and I'm always late
Days are grey
and nights are black

Wait for me...

For me this song feels like I am singing to the person I lost and am trying so hard to find again within me.

 

[Kintsugi]

God, I can feel Maynard's voice plucking each word of "The Rose" in reading it. He's so incredible. *gush*

 

[Venator]

Going to post this whole song - it's fairly short lyric wise. I was watching The Hangover II tonight with my father and heard this song for the first time. Shocked at how much I relate to it.

Johnny Cash - The Beast In Me

The beast in me
Is caged by frail and fragile bars
Restless by day
And by night rants and rages at the stars
God help the beast in me

The beast in me
Has had to learn to live with pain
And how to shelter from the rain
And in the twinkling of an eye
Might have to be restrained
God help the beast in me

Sometimes it tries to kid me
That it's just a teddy bear
And even somehow manage to vanish in the air
And that is when I must beware
Of the beast in me that everybody knows
They've seen him out dressed in my clothes
Patently unclear
If it's New York or New Year
God help the beast in me

 

[incongruent]

So save your breath, I will not care
I think I made it very clear
You couldn't hate enough to love
Is that supposed to be enough?

I only wish you weren't my friend
Then I could hurt you in the end
I never claimed to be a saint
Ooh, my own was banished long ago
It took the death of hope to let you go

So break yourself against my stones
And spit your pity in my soul
You never needed any help
You sold me out to save yourself

And I won't listen to your shame
You ran away, you're all the same
Angels lie to keep control
Ooh, my love was punished long ago
If you still care don't ever let me know

Snuff- Slipknot. Dedicated to the liar-saints in my life.

Daughters by John Mayer

I know a girl,
She puts the color inside of my world
But she's just like a maze
Where all of the walls all continually change

And I've done all I can
To stand on her steps with my heart in my hands
Now I'm starting to see
Maybe it's got nothing to do with me

CHORUS
Fathers, be good to your daughters

Happy Father's Day, Everyone...

 

[ruffdeal]

i got stuck in this song just this morning on youtube
googoo dolls
name
and even though the moment passed me by,i still can't turn away
cause all the dreams you never thought you'd lose,got tossed alog the way
and letters that you never meant to send,got lost or thrown away
now we're grown up orphans that never knew there names............

 

[Crl1983]

Behind Blue Eyes:
No one knows what it's like to be the bad man
To be the sad man behind blue eyes
No one knows what it's like
To be hated, to be fated to telling only lies

But my dreams, they aren't as empty
As my conscience seems to be
I have hours, only lonely
My love is vengeance, and that's never free

No one knows what it's like
To feel these feelings like I do, and I blame you
No one bites back as hard on their anger
None of my pain and woe can show through

-The Who(original version) ending:
When my fist clenches, crack it open
Before I use it and lose my cool
When I smile, tell me some bad news
Before I laugh and act like a fool

And If I swallow anything evil
Put your finger down my throat
And If I shiver, please give me a blanket
Keep me warm, let me wear your coat-

-The Limp Bizkit version ending:

No one knows what its like
To be mistreated, to be defeated
Behind blue eyes
No one knows how to say
That they're sorry and don't worry
I'm not telling lies-

 

[Kintsugi]

I will probably do an extensive portion of this song if not the whole thing. Need to get it out.

Streetlight Manifesto
A Better Place, A Better Time

So she wakes up
In time to break down
She left a note upon the dresser
And she's right on time
"You don't know anything
Right or wrong."

I said "I know"
And she said "So?"
I want to panic
But I've had it
So I go,
You don't owe anything
To anyone,
But don't take your life
'Cause it's all that you've got
You'd be better off just up and leaving
If you don't think they will stop

And when you wake up,
Everything is going to be fine
I guarantee that you'll wake in a better place
In a better time.
So you're tired of living
You feel like you might give in
Well don't
It's not your time.

Looked through the papers today
Looking for a specific page
Don't wanna find her full name
Followed by dates
Cause when I left her alone
She made a sound like a moan:
"You're know by everyone
For everything you've done."

f*ck buying flowers for graves
I'd rather buy you a one-way nonstop
To anywhere do anything find anyone
Forget and start again, love
She says she won't go.

And it hurts too much to stand by
You've gotta stop and draw the line
Everyone here has to choose a side
Tonight
The moment of truth is haunting you
Don't forget your family regardless
What you choose to do
You can't decide
And they're all screaming,
"Why won't you?"
I'll start the engine,
But I can't take this ride for you
I'll draw your bath
And I'll load your gun
But I hope so bad that you'll bathe and hunt

Annie's tired of forgetting about today
And always planning for tomorrow
Tomorrow, Annie says
"The saddest day I came across
Was when I learned that life goes on
Without me, without me," Annie says
"If everyone has someone else
I ain't got nobody's love to save me
To save me," Annie says,
"I think I'll pass away tonight
Because it seems I'll never get it right
It's just me, it's just me," Annie says.

And when you wake up,
Everything is gonna be fine
I guarantee that you'll wake in a better place
And in a better time
So you're tired of living
Feel like you might give in, well don't
It's not your time.

Annie says that she wouldn't mind
If they never find a cure to all her problems
Her problems, Annie says
As long as she has someone near
To make it clear she doesn't need to solve them
To solve them, Annie says
"Oh this loneliness, it's killing me
With anger and resentment, resentment,"
Annie says, "I'm turning into someone
That I never thought I'd have to be again
Again," Annie says.

...It's not your time...

And even if it was so,
I wouldn't let you go
You can run, run, run
Run but I will follow close
Someday you'll say,
"That's it, that's all"
But I'll be waiting there
With open arms to break your fall
I know that you think that you're on your own
But just know that I'm here
And I'll lead you home
If you let me
She said, "Forget me"
But I can't.

I haven't found anything that relates to me but I do listen to an Artist that gives me strength at times, helps me sleep and inspires me. Amethystium, any of his songs really are great.
