I genuinely think that this is the message that should be given to teens over here; a lot of it applied to me growing up.

Contessa Raven

This song hits me in a certain way. I feel every word. I can't really explain it.

"Snuff"

Bury all your secrets in my skin
Come away with innocence and leave me with my sins
The air around me still feels like a cage
And love is just a camouflage for what resembles rage again

So if you love me let me go
And run away before I know
My heart is just too dark to care
I can't destroy what isn't there

Deliver me into my fate
If I'm alone I cannot hate
I don't deserve to have you
Ooh, my smile was taken long ago
If I can change I hope I never know

I still press your letters to my lips
And cherish them in parts of me that savor every kiss
I couldn't face a life without your lights
But all of that was ripped apart when you refused to fight

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
If you still care don't ever let me know

At Last - Etta James.

Fabulous song, I hope one day to have someone in my life that I love so much that when I look at them that song starts to play in my head. Love it.

Freddie Mercury's voice in this song is amazing, it always makes me a mixture of happy and sad inside.

Novella

At my grandad's funeral two weeks ago, myself and three of my cousins performed the song, 'The Cloud's Veil' as a reflection after communion.

"Even though the rain hides the stars,
even though the mist swirls the hills,
even when the dark clouds veil the sky,
You are by my side.
Even when the sun shall fall in sleep,
even when at dawn the sky shall weep,
even in the night when storms shall rise,
You are by my side. You are by my side.

Bright the stars at night that mirror heaven’s way to you.
Bright the stars in light where dwell the saints in love and truth.

Deep the feast of life where saints shall gather in deep peace.
Deep in heaven’s light where sorrows pass beyond death’s sleep.

Blest are they who sing the fellowship of saints in light.
Blest in heaven’s King. All saints adore the Lord, most high.

Even though the rain hides the stars,
even though the mist swirls the hills,
even when the dark clouds veil the sky,
You are by my side."

(I'm pretty sure the actual words are, "God is by my side" but "you" seemed more appropriate. It's a lovely hymn anyway.)

Don't listen when they tell you that these are your best years
Don't let anybody protect your ears
It's best that you hear what they don't want you to hear
It's better to have pressure from peers than not have peers
Beer won't give you chest hair
Spicy food won't make it curl
When you think you've got it all figured out and then your universe collapses, trust me, kid...
It's not the end of the world.

oh so many....

This by The Magic Numbers feels like it was written about me and my OH at the start of our relationship. I was just out of a long relationship and kept pushing him (my now OH) away as I thought everyone would judge me if I jumped straight into a relationship with him. By the time I realised that I would lose him if I kept pushing he felt I was playing games and started to push me away :rolleyes:

This song (to me) is about that....

"I See You, You See Me"

I never wanted to love you, but that's ok
I always knew that you'd leave me anyway
But darling when I see you, I see me

I asked the boys if they'd let me go out and play
They always said that you'd hurt me anyway
But darling when I see you, I see me

Its alright I never thought I'd fall in love again
Its alright I look to you as my only friend
Its alright I never thought that I could feel this something
Rising, rising in my veins
Looks like it's happened again

I never thought that you wanted for me to stay
So I left you with the girls that came your way
But darling when I see you, I see me
I often thought that you'd be better off left alone
Why throw a circle round a man with broken bones
But darling when I see you, I see me

Its alright I never thought I'd fall in love again
Its alright I look to you as my only friend
Its alright I never thought that I could feel this something
Rising, rising in my veins
Looks like it's happened again

You always looked like you had something else on your mind
But when I try to tell you, you'd tell me never mind
But darling when I see you, you see me

I wanna tell you that I'll never love anyone else
You wanna tell me that you're better off by yourself
But darling when I see you, you see me

This is not what I'm like [x4]
This is not what I do
This is not what I'm like
I think I'm falling for you

I never thought - This is not what I'm like
I never thought - This is not what I do
I never thought - This is not what I'm like
I never thought - I think I'm falling for you
I never thought -
I never thought -
That I could feel this something
Rising, rising in my veins
Looks like it's happened again

And it looks like
I feel this something
Rising, rising in my veins
Looks like it's happened again

Now everytime I hear it it makes me so happy as it reminds me how we sorted it out and how he rocks my world to this day...4 years later!

And you even spoke to me, and said :
"If you're so funny
Then why are you on your own tonight ?
And if you're so clever
Then why are you on your own tonight ?
If you're so very entertaining
Then why are you on your own tonight ?
If you're so very good-looking
Why do you sleep alone tonight ?
I know ...
'Cause tonight is just like any other night
That's why you're on your own tonight
With your triumphs and your charms
While they're in each other's arms..."
It's so easy to laugh
It's so easy to hate
It takes strength to be gentle and kind
Over, over, over, over
It's so easy to laugh
It's so easy to hate
It takes guts to be gentle and kind
Over, over
Love is Natural and Real
But not for you, my love
Not tonight, my love
Love is Natural and Real
But not for such as you and I, my love



Outstanding! Not the same without Morrissey's delivery, but still!
The 'It's so easy to laugh....' line gets me everytime.

Love, all alike, no season knows, nor clime, nor hours, days, months, which are the rags of time.

One of my favourite lines ever is:

Every poet is a cannibal, every artist is a thief,
All kill their inspiration, and sing about the grief.

From U2's The Fly

Michellenman

Pretty much every song by City and Colour (Dallas Green) strikes a cord with me, but this one especially.

You need not to climb mountain tops
You need not to cross the sea
You need not to find a cure
for everything that makes you weak


You need not to reach for the stars,
When life becomes dark
When the wind does blow against the grain
You must follow your heart

You must follow your heart

When all your friends have come and gone
and the sun no longer shines
And the happiness for which you long
is washed away like a oceans tide

When all the hard times outweigh the good
All your words are misunderstood
When the day seems lost from the start
You must follow your heart

You must follow your heart

If you feel, you've paid the price
and your wounds should cease to heal
and everything you love it life
spins like a winding wheel

If you should wake, to find you're abandoned
And the road you travel leads to a dead
When death creeps in to play its part
You must follow your heart

You must follow your heart.

I really like this song when I am having a bad day, it picks me up

When I am feeling sad and want a little sad music I listen to Tori Amos, especially Me and a Gun.

IrishGrimReaper

Been listening to this guy a lot lately. Like this song a lot!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6loZAbym8mY

Great lyrics in there.

"I never asked you to love me....
I never begged you to stay....
But I never want you to leave me...
I wouldn't have it any other way"

Michellenman

Death Cab for Cutie - Passenger Seat.

''I roll the window down
And then begin to breathe in
The darkest country road
And the strong scent of evergreen
From the passenger seat as you are driving me home.

Then looking upwards
I strain my eyes and try
To tell the difference between shooting stars and satellites
From the passenger seat as you are driving me home.

"do they collide?"
I ask and you smile.
With my feet on the dash
The world doesn't matter.

When you feel embarrassed then i'll be your pride
When you need directions then i'll be the guide
For all time.
For all time.''


I could be here all night posting songs :pac:

Otis Driftwood

Not a song lyric but a quote from American author and philosopher Sam Keen.When I first read it it struck a chord with me and its something we should all try to live by.

We come to love,not by finding the perfect person,but by learning to see an imperfect person perfectly.

allandanyways

Just picking the top few off my youtube playlists:

"I wake up, it's a bad dream,
No one on my side,
I was fighting
But I just feel too tired
to be fighting,
guess I'm not the fighting kind.
Wouldn't mind it
if you were by my side
But you're long gone,
yeah you're long gone now."

(Keane, A Bad Dream )

"You can run on for a long time
Run on for a long time
Run on for a long time
Sooner or later God'll cut you down
Sooner or later God'll cut you down

Well you may throw your rock and hide your hand
Workin' in the dark against your fellow man
But as sure as God made black and white
What's done in the dark will be brought to the light"

(Johnny Cash, God's Gonna Cut You Down ) Not religious, but the idea behind the song is very important to me.

"I've been down
And I'm wondering why
These little black clouds
Keep walking around
With me
With me

It wastes time
And I'd rather be high
Think I'll walk me outside
And buy a rainbow smile
But be free
They're all free

So maybe tomorrow
I'll find my way home"

(The Stereophonics, Maybe Tomorrow )

Jaysus, I could go on all night. Just some links to a few more:

Thin Lizzy, Still in Love with You

Cyndi Lauper, Time after Time

Radiohead, Reckoner (It's hard to understand much of Thom Yorke on In Rainbows, but this song is undoubtedly one of my favourites and reminds me of a lot of things.

The Darkness, I believe in a thing called love One of my favourite songs ever and I will defend it to the ground :cool:

"So excuse me forgetting but these things I do
You see I've forgotten if they're green or they're blue
Anyway the thing is what I really mean
Yours are the sweetest eyes I've ever seen"

Out in the garden where we planted the seeds
There is a tree that's old as me

---

And I built a home
For you
For me

Until it disappeared
From me
From you

And now, it's time to leave and turn to dust

James- She's a star (I love the line in bold)

Whenever she's feeling empty
Whenever she's feeling insecure
Whenever her face is frozen
Unable to fake it anymore

Her shadow is always with her
Her shadow could always keep her small
So frightened that he won't love her
She builds up a wall

Oh no, she knows where to hide in the dark
Oh no, she's nowhere to hide in the dark
She's a star
She's a star

She's been in disguise forever
She's tried to disguise her stellar views
Much brighter than all this static
Now she's coming through

Oh no, she knows where to hide in the dark
Oh no, she's nowhere to hide in the dark
She's a star
She's a star

Don't tell her to turn down
Put on your shades if you can't see
Don't tell her to turn down
Turn up the flame
She's a star
She's a star

It's a long road
It's a great cause
It's a long road
Its a good call

You got it
You got it
She's a Star

Giselle

Some say the world will end in fire,

Some say in ice.

From what I’ve tasted of desire

I hold with those who favor fire.

But if it had to perish twice,

I think I know enough of hate

To say that for destruction ice

Is also great

And would suffice.


Fire and Ice, by Robert Frost.
