Hold On lyrics By Alabama Shakes

Bless my heart
Bless my soul
I didn't think I make it
To 22 years old

There must be someone up above
Singing come on with me
You gotta come on up

You gotta hold on
Yeah you gotta hold on
So bless my heart
And bless yours too

I don't know were I'm gonna go
Don't know what I'm gonna do
Well must be somebody up above
Saying come on with me
You got to come on up

You gotta hold on
Yeah you gotta hold on
Yeah you gotta wait
Yeah you gotta wait

But I don't wanna wait
I don't wanna wait
So bless my heart
Bless my mind

I got so much I wanna do
I ain't got much time
So must be somebody up above

Saying come on baby girl
You got to get back up
You gotta hold on
Yeah you gotta hold on

Yeah you got to wait
Yeah you gotta wait
But I don't wanna wait
No I don't wanna wait

You've got to hold on
When the world ain't treating you good
You gotta hold on
When everybody lookin' at you funny
You gotta hold on
You gotta hold on

Little lion Man by Mumford and Sons, this refrain:

But it was not your fault but mine
And it was your heart on the line
I really f'd it up this time
Didn't I, my dear? (x2)

Didn't I, my dear?


I don't like f bombs in songs, except for this one...and I definitely sing it with the f bomb in it, even though I rarely swear.

 

[p-no]

Don't let your faith in my heart
I will only let you down
Don't let your love grow too deep
I don't think I'll be around
There is a curse in my bones
That'll breathe and fly again
Until when we both are ghosts
I will miss you like a friend

Two songs by John Denver;


Looking For Space
John Denver

On the road of experience, I'm trying to find my own way.
Sometimes I wish that I could fly away
When I think that I'm moving, suddently things stand still
I'm afraid 'cause I think they always will

And I'm looking for space
And to find out who I am
And I'm looking to know and understand
It's a sweet, sweet dream
Sometimes I'm almost there
Sometimes I fly like an eagle
And sometimes I'm deep in despair

All alone in the universe, sometimes that's how it seems
I get lost in the sadness and the screams
Then I look in the center, suddently everything's clear
I find myself in the sunshine and my dreams

And I'm looking for space
And to find out who I am
And I'm looking to know and understand
It's a sweet, sweet dream
Sometimes I'm almost there
Sometimes I fly like an eagle
And sometimes I'm deep in despair

On the road of experience, join in the living day
if there's an answer, it's just that it's just that way

When you're looking for space
And to find out who you are
When you're looking to try and reach the stars
It's a sweet, sweet sweet dream
Sometimes I'm almost there
Sometimes I fly like an eagle
But sometimes I'm deep in despair
Sometimes I fly like an eagle,
like an eagle
I go flying flying


--------------------------------------
...and Flyaway


All of her days have gone soft and cloudy
All of her dreams have gone dry
All of her nights have gone sad and shady
She’s getting ready to fly

Fly away, fly away, fly away

Life in the city can make you crazy
For sounds of the sand and the sea
Life in a high-rise can make you hungry
For things that you can’t even see

Fly away, fly away, fly away

In this whole world there’s nobody as lonely as she
There’s nowhere to go and there’s nowhere that she’d rather be

She’s looking for lovers and children playing
She’s looking for signs of the spring
She listens for laughter and sounds of dancing
She listens for any old thing

Fly away, fly away, fly away

[Dissociated1]

Outside by Aaron Lewis (Staind) brings me to uncontrollable tears with the painful shadows of my childhood. The lyrics (Trigger Warning):

And you
Can bring me to my knees
Again
All the times
That I could beg you please
In vain
All the times
That I felt insecure
For you
And I leave
My burdens at the door

But 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

All the times
That I felt like this won't end
It's for you
And I taste
What I could never have
It was from you
All the times
That I've cried
My intentions
Full of pride
But I waste
More time than anyone

But I'm on the outside
And 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

All the times
That I've cried
All this wasted
It's all inside
And I feel
All this pain
Stuffed it down
It's back again
And I lie
Here in bed
All alone
I can't mend
But I feel
Tomorrow will be OK... Whatever!

But I'm on the outside
And 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

Your Biggest Mistake- Ellie Goulding

It's a shame you don't know
What you're running from
Would your bones have to break
And your lights turn off
Would it take the end of time
To hear your heart's false start?

You know this is your biggest mistake
What a waste, what a waste, what a waste
And of all the things you never explained
You know this is your biggest mistake

You tread water
Fighting for the air in your lungs
Move, move closer
Maybe you can right all your wrongs

But you let go
'Cause your hope is gone
And every answer fades away


Human- Ellie Goulding

Human behave yourself,
you have burst at the seam
let it all fall out open your mouth
often I lie wide awake, think of things I
can make but I don't seem to have the
parts to build them
Human I wonder why you're a better
make than I could ever build or create,
you know not love or hate
I am so scared of what will kill me in the
end for i am not prepared, i hope I will
get the chance to be someone, to be
human, look what we've done, look what
we've done

I would give my life, to be human
I would give my life, to be human
I would give my life, to be human
I would give my life, to be.

Human I'm trying to come clean, I will be
a better me, I will not drink until I'm dead
I'll make the most of it. i don't know what
it's like to be alive, to say goodbye, to
cry a thousend tears because my ears
won't listen

Human I'm trying not to lose my faith in
you. I've sussed out all that I've seen
through, I've sailed an ocean

I am so scared of what I'll look like in the
end for i am not prepared, I hope I will
get the chance to be someone
to be human, look what we've done, look
what we've done

I used to hear it all so loud, the sound of
my heart breaking. The truth is waiting to
be found, I trust that I will take it

I would give my life to be.

Home- Ellie Goulding

Lonely thoughts they seep, into mind
into me
pushing deep
Wash the dirt, a hard days work
Know my place
On my own
No poison in my bones
On my own
This is where I build my home

My home,
this will always be my home

I work until it's late
Walk in and close the gate
I look in the window
and I gaze at my face
Every line and every abrasion
This took my life to make
This took my life to make
On my own
No poison in my bones
On my own, this is where I build my home
My home

I need someone, to hold
I need someone, to hold
My home
This will always be my home
This will always be my home

Lost My Head
Original in German: Kopf verloren
- by Peter Fox -

I'm wide awake, I cannot sleep
My head's on fire
I'm having a drink to extinguish it
No use... My thoughts keep racing

Through my scull, round and round
All the wires overheating
It smells as if my brain is burnt
I'm putting my head into ice

I'm thinking, thinking, thinking, thinking, thinking way too much
It'd be good if my brain just fell out of the window
Pressure in my head, there's no outlet
Played through 20,000 scenes

Made up 100,000 scenes
My brain from hell's on fire, crackles
I need a break and just grab the damn thing
And twist it off

The ball falls off
I cannot see, am without ears
Standing in darkness
Have lost my head

Day breaks, there's someone knocking at your door
You open up and there I am without my head
Oh, hold me tight, otherwise I'll lose myself
It is only with you that I will find my way back to me

The head rolls for it is round
I'm running after it, knocking everything over
I'm blind and mute and deaf and dumb
I'd give a fortune for a guide dog for the blind
My marble has outdistanced me
I'm wondering what I am thinking
Maybe I should call me but I cannot hear anything
How the hell could I destroy myself this much?

I'm hurting myself, I'm black and blue everywhere
My head falls down the staircase
I have to catch it, I won't give up
While I'm competing with myself

I'm going nuts, can hardly stand it
I trip, I fall, I hit rock bottom, am covered in dust
Terror reaches out to me
Oh, please wake me up from this nightmare

 

[Britt.f7]

I really like the upbeat music of this song. If you get a chance look it up on utube. Just makes me want to dance:

By Electric Guest
This Head I Hold lyrics

They call me, a little grown up
See, I’m upset because I've always been stuck
But I don’t know what it is I’m without
Guess I’m in love with always feeling down
See the problem was I
Was fully consumed
With all of the petty things that I couldn’t do
All of the plastic products, shows and woes
I didn't ever show, I let it go
So I listen while I’m told
Sit back, don’t think, get high
Take drink, sit back, don’t think
The more I listen the deeper I sink
Oooo
I go higher and I say o-oh-
Oooo I go higher
This head that I hold, oh, is so tired
And I say oohh no I go higher
And I said Oohh what’s it gon, what’s it gonna be,
Make me say oohh, what’s it gon, what’s it gonna be
I’m feelin’ so cold, what they want, what they want from me
Make me say oh, oh, oh, oh, Oooo
So find me stuck in some scene
I wanna get out but there’s no in between
So I sit back as I watch the crowd go
Never assuming that I'd sunken so low
See the answer is this
If I wanna be free
I gotta stop playin’ round and runnin’ from me
Cuz all of the plastic products, shows and woes
Got my head feelin’ low, no room to grow
So I listen while I’m told
Sit back don’t think get high
Take drink don’t feel just go
If you listen carefully then you won't feel so low
Sit back don’t think the more I listen the deeper I
sink
Ooooo I go higher and I say o-oh-Oooo I go higher
This head that I hold, oh, is so tired
And I say oh, no, I go higher,
And I say oh, what’s it gon, what’s it gonna be
Make me so oh what’s it gon what’s it gonna be
I’m feeling so cold, what they want, what they want from me
Make me so oh, oh , oh, oh, oh!

I say oh I go higher!
And I say oh, o-oh I go higher
Get no sleep, me the vampire
And I say oh, no I go higher
And I say oh I go higher
And I say o-oh-oh I go higher
This head that I hold, oh, is so tired,
And I say oh, no, I go higher

"Carry On" -Fun
Well I woke up to the sound of silence
the cars were cutting like knives in a fist fight
and I found you with a bottle of wine
your head in the curtains
and heart like the Fourth of July

You swore and said
"We are not
We are not shining stars"
This I know
I never said we are

Though I've never been through hell like that
I've closed enough windows
to know you can never look back

If you're lost and alone
Or you're sinking like a stone
Carry on
May your past be the sound
Of your feet upon the ground
Carry on

Carry on, carry on

So I met up with some friends
at the edge of the night
At a bar off 75
And we talked and talked
about how our parents will die
All our neighbours and wives

But I like to think
I can cheat it all
To make up for the times I've been cheated on
And it's nice to know
When I was left for dead
I was found and now I don't roam these streets
I am not the ghost you are to me

If you're lost and alone
Or you're sinking like a stone
Carry on
May your past be the sound
Of your feet upon the ground
Carry on

Whoa
My head is on fire
But my legs are fine
After all they are mine
Lay your clothes down on the floor
Close the door
Hold the phone
Show me how
No one’s ever gonna stop us now

Cause we are
We are shining stars
We are invincible
We are who we are
On our darkest day
When we’re miles away
Sun will come
We will find our way home

If you're lost and alone
Or you're sinking like a stone
Carry on
May your past be the sound
Of your feet upon the ground
Carry on

Carry on, carry on

 

[Sues]

Here's a little bit of 3 songs that really help me trudge through life during hard times...

Plumb - Need You Now

How many times have you heard me cry out
"God please take this"?
How many times have you given me strength to
Just keep breathing?
Oh I need you
God, I need you now.


Kutless - Even If

Even if the healing doesn't come
And life falls apart
And dreams are still undone
You are God You are good
Forever faithful One
Even if the healing
Even if the healing doesn't come



Britt Nicole - All This Time

Hiding there in my bedroom
So alone
I was doing my best
Trying to be strong
No one to turn to
That's when I met You

All this time
From the first tear cry
To today's sunrise
And every single moment between
You were there
You were always there
It was You and I
You've been walking with me all this time

 

[Britt.f7]

By Gary Jules

"Mad World"​

All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places, worn out faces
Bright and early for their daily races
Going nowhere, going nowhere
Their tears are filling up their glasses
No expression, no expression
Hide my head I want to drown my sorrow
No tomorrow, no tomorrow

And I find it kinda funny
I find it kinda sad
The dreams in which I'm dying
Are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you
I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It's a very, very mad world mad world

Children waiting for the day they feel good
Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday
And I feel the way that every child should
Sit and listen, sit and listen
Went to school and I was very nervous
No one knew me, no one knew me
Hello teacher tell me what's my lesson
Look right through me, look right through me

And I find it kinda funny
I find it kinda sad
The dreams in which I'm dying
Are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you
I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It's a very, very mad world ... mad world
Enlarging your world
Mad world​

 

[Red Feather]

I love this song. I just discovered it.

The Park, by Feist


Why would he come back through the park
You thought that you saw him, but no you did not
It's not him coming across the sea to surprise you
Not him who would know where in London to find you

Sadness so real that it populates
The city and leaves you homeless again
Steam from a cup and snow on the path
The seasons have changed from the present to past

The past...
There's hope to have
In the past...

Why would he come back through the park
You thought that you saw him, but no you did not
Who can be sure of anything through
The distance that keeps you from knowing truth

Why would he think, the boy could become
The man who could make you sure he was the one
The one...
My one...
My one...
