Mercy Me - Beautiful

Days will come when you don't have the strength
And all you hear is you're not worth anything
Wondering if you ever could be loved
And if they truly saw your heart
They'd see so much

You're beautiful, You're beautiful
You are made for so much more than all of this
You're beautiful, You're beautiful
You are treasured, you are sacred, you are His
You're beautiful

Praying that you have the heart to fight
Cuz you are more than what is hurting you tonight
For all the lies you've held inside so long
But they are nothing in the shadow of the cross

You're beautiful, You're beautiful
You are made for so much more than all of this
You're beautiful, You're beautiful
You are treasured, you are sacred, you are His
You're beautiful

Before you ever took a breath
Long before the world began
Of all the wonders He possessed
There was one more precious
Of all the earth and skies above
You're the one He madly loves
Enough to die!

You're beautiful, You're beautiful
In His eyes

You're beautiful!
You are made for so much more than all of this
You're beautiful!
You are treasured, you are sacred, you are His
You're beautiful!
You are made for so much more than all of this
You're beautiful!
You are treasured
You are sacred
You are His

These is just a few of mine...The songs I've been listening to A LOT recently. I have tons more. Some days, I think music is what keeps me functioning. I use it to unwind. I use it to vent. I go for long drives and blast music and scream out the lyrics, then I feel like I have a shot at making it through the rest of the day...

Nothing - The Script
You're coming down
Your hands are shaking
When you realize
There's no one there waiting
...
Am I better off dead?
Am I better off a quitter?

40 Miles From the Sun - Bush
I need to lose to make it right
I'll confront the stars tonight
I will babble I will bite
You will never know how much you shine
40 Miles from the sun

What I Am - Emma Bunton
Choke me in the shallow waters
Before I get too deep
...
What I am is what I am
Are you what you are or what?

Flagpole Sitta - Harvey Danger
I'm not sick, but I'm not well
And I'm so hot, because I'm in hell
...
Put me in the hospital for nerves
And then they had to commit me
You told them all I was crazy
...


Headful of Ghosts - Bush
Where is my head?
Where are my bones?
Why are my days so far from home?
Where is my head?
Where are my bones?
Can you save me from myself?
...
These are the days when I'm split down the middle
No words to calm me down
Be sure that what you dream of
Won't come to hunt you down

Machinehead - Bush
Breathe in, breathe out...

Don Mclean - The Grave

The grave that they dug him had flowers
Gathered from the hillsides in bright summer colors,
And the brown earth bleached white at the edge of his gravestone.
He’s gone.

When the wars of our nation did beckon,
A man barely twenty did answer the calling.
Proud of the trust that he placed in our nation,
He’s gone,
But eternity knows him, and it knows what we’ve done.

And the rain fell like pearls on the leaves of the flowers
Leaving brown, muddy clay where the earth had been dry.
And deep in the trench he waited for hours,
As he held to his rifle and prayed not to die.

But the silence of night was shattered by fire
As guns and grenades blasted sharp through the air.
And one after another his comrades were slaughtered.
In morgue of marines, alone standing there.

He crouched ever lower, ever lower with fear.
"they can’t let me die! the can’t let me die here!
I’ll cover myself with the mud and the earth.
I’ll cover myself! I know I’m not brave!
The earth! the earth! the earth is my grave."

The grave that they dug him had flowers
Gathered from the hillsides in bright summer colors,
And the brown earth bleached white at the edge of his gravestone.
He’s gone.

Lots of songs I can relate to :D But this one I relate to the most

Ocean Soul by Nightwish (my #1 all-time favorite band)

One more night
To bear this nightmare
What more do I have to say

Crying for me was never worth a tear
My lonely soul is only filled with fear

Long hours of loneliness
Between me and the sea

Losing emotion
Finding devotion
Should I dress in white and search the sea
As I always wished to be - one with the waves
Ocean Soul

Walking the tideline
I hear your name
Is angels whispering
Something so beautiful it hurts

Long hours of loneliness
Between me and the sea

I only wished to become something beautiful
Through my music, through my silent devotion

Losing emotion
Finding devotion
Should I dress in white and search the sea
As I always wished to be - one with the waves
Ocean Soul

Losing emotion
Finding devotion
Should I dress in white and search the sea
As I always wished to be - one with the waves
Ocean Soul

Are you starting to understand my name "Oceanheart"? I personally think that you think you do, but you don't know half the meaning :D

The River of Dreams
Billy Joel


In the middle of the night
I go walking in my sleep
From the mountains of faith
To the river so deep
I must be lookin' for something
Something sacred I lost
But the river is wide
And it's too hard to cross

even though I know the river is wide
I walk down every evening and stand on the shore
I try to cross to the opposite side
So I can finally find what I've been looking for
In the middle of the night
I go walking in my sleep
Through the valley of fear
To a river so deep

I've been searching for something
Taken out of my soul
something I'd never lose
something somebody stole

I don't know why I go walking at night
But now I'm tired and I don't want to walk anymore
I hope it doesn't take the rest of my life
Until I find what it is I've been looking for

In the middle of the night
I go walking in my sleep
Through the jungle of doubt
To the river so deep
I know I'm searching for something
Something so undefined
That it can only be seen
By the eyes of the blind
In the middle of the night

I’m not sure about a life after this
God knows I've never been a spiritual man
Baptized by the fire, I wade into the river
That is runnin' through the promised land

In the middle of the night
I go walking in my sleep
Through the desert of truth
To the river so deep
We all end in the ocean
We all start in the streams
We're all carried along
By the river of dreams
In the middle of the night

 

[Oceanheart]

(This song isn't really pointing to me, but in some ways, I still relate to it)

Stay by Shakespear's Sister

If this world is wearing thin
And you're thinking of escape
I'll go anywhere with you
Just wrap me up in chains

But if you try to go out alone
Don't think i'll understand
Stay with me
Stay with me

In the silence of your room
In the darkness of your dreams
You must only think of me
There can be no in-betweens

When your pride is on the floor
I'll make you beg for more
Stay with me
Stay with me

You'd better hope and pray
That you make it safe
Back to your own world
You'd better hope and pray
That you wake one day
In your own world

'Cuz when you sleep at night
They don't hear your cries
In your own world
Only time will tell
If you can break the spell
Back in your own world

Stay with me
Stay with me
Stay, stay with me
Stay, stay, stay, stay...
Stay with me

This thread is so relevant to me as at times only through listening to music can I truly understand what I'm feeling. I actually have a huge playlist to this effect, but these are three of my favourites.

Breathe- Alexi Murdoch
And all the suffering that you've witnessed
And the hand prints on the wall
They remind you how it's endless
How endlessly you fall

And the answer that you're seeking
For the question that you found
Drives you further to confusion
As you lose your sense of ground

So don't forget to breathe
Don't forget to breathe
Your whole life is here
No eleventh hour reprieve
So don't forget to breathe

Orange Sky - Alexi Murdoch
“these days I’m afraid of everything.”
....
“Sometimes I feel like I’m drowning, actually it’s most of the time.”

From the Sky - Peter Bradley Adams
Are you tired from the battles fought?All the years that you won or lost?Are you tired and shaken from it all?
Are you scared that you'll lose control?As you cling to the words you know?In the silence you start to lose your hope.In the silence you dream of letting go.

 

[Sandra]

I can surely relate to this song. Perhaps it can be an inspiration to all of us.

Air Supply - Someone Who Believes In You

When there's a dark storm on your horizon
And you think you can't get through it
Just put your hand in my hand
And I'll show you how to do it

When the future looks uncertain
You can count on me to be there
And when your heart and soul are hurtin'
Just look and you'll see me there

Just follow where I lead
I'll give you what you need
A love that's always true
And someone who believes in you

So when you're searching for that rainbow
I will help you find it
And when a mountain stands before you
I will help you climb it

Just follow where I lead
I'll give you what you need
A love that's always true
And someone who believes in you

It's time to come alive
Your moment has arrived
I'll bring out the best in you
We can have it all
No, we will never fall
Looking down from our celestial view

Just follow where I lead
I'll give you what you need
And I'll tell you something else
You'll start believing in yourself
It's an easy thing to do
When you have someone who believes in you

Someone who believes
Someone who believes
I'm someone who believes
And you've got someone who believes in you

 

[Oceanheart]

Chorus from My Life by Billy Joel:

I don't need you to worry for me cause I'm alright
I don't want you to tell me it's time to come home
I don't care what you say anymore, this is my life
Go ahead with your own life, leave me alone

 

[gigi2690]

This song helps me when I feel groundless. I wouldn't be surprised if the writer had PTSD. It hits so close and so well.

Give Me Strength - Over The Rhine
Sitting in the rain alone
looking at a place that's gone
boarded up my memories
but something's drawn me here again and i
i cannot leave the past alone

Hoped that i would never find
All the shit i left behind
Now i find the child in me is going to remind me that i
I can't forget my past for long

So take a look outside yourself
And tell me what you see
I can't believe
That you won't see the change in me

Give me strength to find the road that's lost in me
Give me time to heal and build myself a dream
Give me eyes to see the world surrounding me
Give me strength to be only me

I don't want to hear the things
You say you know all you've redeemed
'cause i can't change what's come before
Build myself some better dreams
And cast off the fear that holds me here

So take a look outside yourself
And tell me what you see
I can't believe
That you won't see the change in me


Give me strength to find the road that's lost in me
Give me time to heal and build myself a dream
Give me eyes to see the world surrounding me
Give me strength to be only me

Grew up on Tupac. Everyone can relate to Only God Can Judge Me to some degree, but I tear up every time the second part plays. I used to get so worked up about it, it really blew my mind how well all of his songs spoke to me having previously only been exposed to cheesy love/angst songs . "If I Die Tonight" is also a classic.

Only God Can Judge Me (Straight from the memory baby)
Flatline
I hear the doctor standing over me
Screaming I can make it
Got a body full of bullet holes
Layin here naked
Still I, can't breathe, something evil's in my IV
Cause everytime I breathe, I think they killing me.

I'm having nightmares, homicidal fantasies
I wake up strangling, dangling my bed sheets.
I call the nurse because it hurts, to reminisce.
How did it come to this? I wish they didn't miss.

Somebody help me, tell me where to go from here.
Cause even thugs cry, but do the lord care?
Tryin to remember, but it hurts
I'm walking through the cemetery talkin to the, dirt.
