Songs You Relate To

[rainy_daze]

I <3 Tracy Chapman. I don't own any of her albums for some reason! If I ever have money I will buy one. I think I'll put on a few of her song on Youtube while I get ready to go out for a walk. Thanks Lizio :)

Billy Bragg - To have and to have not

Just because you're better than me
Doesn't mean I'm lazy.
Just because you're going forwards,
Doesn't mean I'm going backwards!
..... The system has failed you, don't fail yourself.

I don't usually put anything on this thread, because my tastes are very ecclectic and I even change my mind often.

But I heard and like this one:

Jason Mraz, I Won't Give Up

When I look into your eyes
It's like watching the night sky
Or a beautiful sunrise
There's so much they hold
And just like them old stars
I see that you've come so far
To be right where you are
How old is your soul?

I won't give up on us
Even if the skies get rough
I'm giving you all my love
I'm still looking up

And when you're needing your space
To do some navigating
I'll be here patiently waiting
To see what you find

'Cause even the stars they burn
Some even fall to the earth
We've got a lot to learn
God knows we're worth it
No, I won't give up

I don't wanna be someone who walks away so easily
I'm here to stay and make the difference that I can make
Our differences they do a lot to teach us how to use
The tools and gifts we got yeah, we got a lot at stake
And in the end, you're still my friend at least we did intend
For us to work we didn't break, we didn't burn
We had to learn how to bend without the world caving in
I had to learn what I've got, and what I'm not
And who I am

I won't give up on us
Even if the skies get rough
I'm giving you all my love
I'm still looking up
Still looking up.

I won't give up on us (no I'm not giving up)
God knows I'm tough enough (I am tough, I am loved)
We've got a lot to learn (we're alive, we are loved)
God knows we're worth it (and we're worth it)

I won't give up on us
Even if the skies get rough
I'm giving you all my love
I'm still looking up

Re Offender - Travis

Keeping up appearances
Keeping up with the Jones'
Fooling my selfish heart
Going through the motions

But I'm fooling myself
I'm fooling myself
Cause you say you love me
And then you do it again

You do it again
You say your sorry's
And then you do it again
You do it again

Everybody thinks you're well
Everybody thinks I'm ill
Watching me fall apart
Falling under your spell

But you're fooling yourself
Your fooling yourself
Cause you say you love me
And then you do it again

You do it again
You say your sorry's
And then you do it again
You do it again and again and again and again and again

But you're fooling yourself
You're fooling yourself
Cause you say you love me
And then you do it again

You do it again
You say your sorry's
Then you do it again

You do it again
You say you love me
And then you do it again

You do it again
You say your sorry's
And then you do it again
You do it again and again and again and again and again

Travis - Paperclips

Paperclips, melody
Hold together all these memories
Memories
Memories
I don't wanna think at all

I don't wanna be like you anymore
I don't wanna see your face at my door
And I'll never leave like you, that's for sure
I don't wanna be like you anymore, anymore, anymore

Take a trip, down memory lane
You will never wanna go again
Take your leave
Take your leave
I don't wanna sing at all

I don't wanna be like you anymore
I don't wanna see your face at my door
And I'll never leave like you, that's for sure
I don't want to live like you anymore, anymore, anymore

Ever talk, decide out
We get by, we'll get by
And I won't take this
No more sadness, no, no

Paperclips, memories
Hold together all these melodies
Melodies
Melodies
I don't want to sing at all

I don't want to be like you anymore
I don't want to see your face at my door
And I'll never leave like you, that's for sure
I don't want to live like you anymore, anymore, anymore

Björk- Play Dead

darling stop confusing me
with your wishful thinking
hopeful enbraces
don't you understand?
i have to go through this
i belong to here where
no-one cares and no-one loves
no light no air to live in
a place called hate
the city of fear

i play dead
it stops the hurting
i play dead
and hurting stops

it's sometimes just like sleeping
curling up inside my private tortures
i nestle into pain
hug suffering
caress every ache

i play dead
it stops the hurting

 

[Loveneverfails]

Chevelle- I Get it

'..You're right, I get it
It all makes sense, you're the perfect person
So right, so wrong
Let's all live in your imaginary life..'


Trading Yesterday- Shattered

As reason clouds my eyes
with splendor fading
Illusions of the sunlight
A reflection of a lie
will keep me waiting
With love gone for so long
And this day's ending
Is the proof of time
killing all the faith I know
Knowing that faith is all I hold

And I've lost who I am,
and I can't understand
Why my heart is so broken,
rejecting your love,
without love gone wrong;
lifeless words carry on
But I know,
all I know's that the end's beginning
who I am from the start,
take me home to my heart
Let me go and I will run,
I will not be silent,
all this time spent in vain;
wasted years wasted gain
All is lost but hope remains
and this war's not over
There's a light, there's a sun
taking all these shattered ones
To the place we belong
and his love will conquer all

Robbie Williams - Feel

Come and hold my hand
I want to contact the living
Not sure I understand
This role I've been given

I sit and talk to God
And he just laughs at my plans
My head speaks a language
I don't understand

I just want to feel real love
Feel the home that I live in
Cause I got too much life
Running through my veins
Going to waste

EVANESCENCE

"My Immortal"

I'm so tired of being here
Suppressed by all my childish fears
And if you have to leave
I wish that you would just leave
Your presence still lingers here
And it won't leave me alone

These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase :cry:

[Chorus:]
When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have
All of me

Blue Oyster Cult - Veteran of a thousand psychic wars


You see me now a veteran of a thousand psychic wars
I've been living on the edge so long
Where the winds of limbo roar
And I'm young enough to look at
And far too old to see
All the scars are on the inside
I'm not sure if there's anything left of me

Don't let these shakes go on
It's time we had a break from it
It's time we had some leave
We've been living in the flames
We've been eating up our brains
Oh, please don't let theses shakes go on

You ask me why I'm weary, why I can't speak to you
You blame me for my silence
Say it's time I changed and grew
But the war's still going on dear
And there's no end that I know
And I can't say if we're ever...
I can't say if we're ever gonna to be free

Don't let these shakes go on
It's time we had a break from it
It's time we had some leave
We've been living in the flames
We've been eating out our brains
Oh, please don't let theses shakes go on

You see me now a veteran of a thousand psychic wars
My energy's spent at last
And my armour is destroyed
I have used up all my weapons and I'm helpless and bereaved
Wounds are all I'm made of
Did I hear you say that this is victory?

Don't let these shakes go on
It's time we had a break from it
Send me to the rear
Where the tides of madness swell
And been sliding into hell
Oh, please don't let shakes go on
Don't let these shakes go on
Don't let these shakes go on

DEVO -Beautiful World
It's a beautiful world we live in
A sweet romantic place
beautiful people everywhere, the way they show they care...
It's a beautiful world -for you, for you, for you - not me.

The Cars - Drive
Who's gonna pick you up when you fall
Who's gonna hang it up when call
Who's gonna pay attention to your dreams
Who's gonna plug their ears when you scream
Who's gonna hold you down when you shake
Who's gonna come around when you break

Eminim - Love the way you lie
Just gonna stand there and watch me burn
That's alright because I like the way it hurts
Just gonna stand there and hear me cry
That's alright because I love the way you lie

The Cure_ Close To Me:

​

I've waited hours for this,
I've made myself so sick.
I wish I'd stayed asleep today.
I never thought this day would end -
I never thought tonight could ever be this close to me.

Bright Eyes_ Lover I Don't Have To Love:

You write such pretty words,
But life's no storybook,
Love's an excuse to get hurt,
And to hurt.
Do you like to hurt?

Harry_ So Real:

It's like someone whose dead who hasn't, who hasn't even been born.
It' like someone who has everything, and yet, feels nothing.
It's like not knowing where you stand, when you're laying down on the floor.
It's like being unfaithful to someone:
You just don't - You just don't have faith...

Amy Grant

You see, she's his little rag, nothing more than just a waif
And he's mopping up his need, She is tired and afraid.
Maybe she'll find a way through these awful years, to disappear.
Ask me if I think there's a God up in the Heaven,
Where did He go in the middle of her shame?
Ask me if I think there's a God up in the Heaven,
I see no mercy, and no one down here's naming names.
Nobody's naming names
