Here's my songs.....hits home ever time I hear Them.

By: STRUNG OUT

"Too Close To See"

Album: "Twisted By Design"

A cup of two day old coffee
You're feeling like yourself again
You're still on your own
You've survived another night
In this dingy room with the same four walls
lookin' in the mirrors gettin' easier these days
that old friend anger is losing its hold on you
the key to survival in this crazy world
and it's good to see you're still standing strong
not too long ago you were tearing at a world
that would never let you in
strung out, outcast turned away
you kept your face to the ground
and fought the world with your silence
and so the seasons change
and the people change
and the good times come
and the good times go
found yourself in a winless race
fighting for a cause you never believed
its easy to regret not so easy to forget
all the stupid things that used to hold you down
you gotta brake that chain and move on
cuz I know I've seen it in your eyes before
to surrender now to throw it all away
is to sacrifice but you can't repay
in a world that don't owe you shit
you gotta think for yourself
and fight every bit of that piece of mind
that keeps you going on
gets you outta bed and out that door
step back take a look around and soon
you'll find there's something more
that'll come your way
with a little patience
it will all work out for you in the end
this is my song to a friend that never needed anyone until now
some times you get too close to see
a different side of what life could be
and if you stare too long
it all becomes a blur and its easy to forget
just who we are
don't stare to hard, just take a look around...


STRUNG OUT

"Swan Dive"

Album: "Exile in Oblivion"

Well it's hard to find the words to say,
what no one would say to you when were round,
the loneliest caged bird sings the saddest song,
and you were never one to keep us guessing long.
If you ask me what went wrong?
I'll tell you nobody is doin' fine, we're all fucked up and doin' time.
The gates of Eden elude people like ourselves.
I think about you every now and then, more now than I ever did when you were down.
All reservations pass when chances slip away, all songs play better from confusion.
Now I sit and I wonder how, everyday gets a little shorter,
always feel I'm losin' out somehow, don't wanna let another day go by without creation.
Now if you ask what went wrong?
When your fallin' you're the only one that doesn't see the distance,
sacrifice yourself to save yourself.
Now we don't always walk the line and broadcast how we hurt sometimes,
and still at times it seems nobody wants to know.
Give me some time I might remember everything you ever did or said to me.
If you ask me what went wrong?
I'll tell you nobody is doin' fine, we're all fucked up and doin' time.
The gates of Eden elude people like you and I.
I think about you every now and then, more now than I ever did when you were down.
All reservations pass when chances slip away, all songs play better from confusion. Confusion...


What song Lyrics inspire you?
 
Hybrid : Dreaming your Dreams

Where you're going, I'll follow you (Follow you)
and What you're hearing, I'm singing to you
And when you're sleeping - I'm dreaming your dreams for you


Good song.

I also like Matthew Herberts "Addiction".
 
when i get depressed about not having a g/f, this song always gives me hope that love is out there for me:

Love Song by Tesla

So you think that it's over,
Say your love has fin'lly reached the end.
Any time you call, night or day,
I'll be right there for you if you need a friend.
It's gonna take a little time.
Time is sure to mend your broken heart.
Don't you even worry, pretty darlin'.
I know you'll find love again. Yeah.

(Chorus)

Love is all around you.
Love is knockin' outside the door.
Waitin' for you is this love made just for two
Keep an open heart and you'll find love again, I know.
Love is all around you.
Love is knockin' outside the door.
Waitin' for you is this love made just for two
Keep an open heart and you'll find love again, I know.

(Chorus/Outro)

Love will find a way.
Darlin', love is gonna find a way,
Find its way back to you.
Love will find a way.
So look around, open your eyes.
Love is gonna find a way.
Love is gonna, love is gonna find a way.
Love will find a way.
Love's gonna find a way back to you, yeah,
I know. I know. I know.
 
I want to *uc* you like an animal.
 
i fucking hate you - godsmack

thats one...

little lover, letter to god, hatemail, how long - 40 below summer

i sure hope this isnt limited to one song.
 
Zaak Wylde - Book of Shadows - Dead as Yesterday

Hoping to hold a handful of sunshine
Like a child told it cannot play
Never ever figured, Lord, love would leave me feeling
As dead as yesterday



Zaak Wylde - Planet of Sound unplugged recording - Stillborn
The feelings I once felt
Are now dead and gone
I've waited here for you
For so very long.



Alice in Chains - Sap - Right turn

Black is all I feel, so this is how it feels to be free




god, i could go on for hours....

/me grabs the guitar...
 
comeback kid-"wake the dead"

"Coming alive, something stirs inside
This isn't over yet
Shake off the dirt
Swallow regret
Stop living under the weight
Living under the weight of regret
Your regrets
DON'T LOSE HOPE
Don't let it happen to you
DON'T LOSE HOPE
Which side are you gonna choose?
Cuz I believe, I believe it's in you RISE!"

band is halfway decent but i love that verse
 
I wish I was a neutron bomb, for once I could go off
I wish I was a sacrifice but somehow still lived on
I wish I was a sentimental ornament you hung on
The christmas tree, I wish I was the star that went on top


~


i saw a star beneath the stairs
glowing back before decent
and in the morning
their is nothing left
but whats inside of me

am i the star beneath the stairs
am i the ghost up on the stage
am i your anything?


~


Hello darkness, my old friend,
I've come to talk with you again,
Because a vision softly creeping,
Left its seeds while I was sleeping,
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence.


~


Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace...


~


I'll be waving my hand watching you drown
Watching you scream
Quiet or loud

And maybe you should sleep
And maybe you just need, a friend
As clumsy as you've been
There's no one laughing
You will be safe in here
 
From First to Last -- "Ride the Wings of Pestilence"

Hiding behind the shadows
I'll be waiting in the dark
to drive this blade straight through your heart
I'll drag your body to the car
as blood races down my arm
I think everyone will wonder where you are, tonight

I'll hide you in my walls
your body will never be found
I'll wear your skin as a suit
Pretend to be you, your friends will like you more than they used to

Dear diary my teen angst bullshit has a body count
I believe it's 6 going on 7 now

I've been dreaming about you
in a pool of your own blood
with your eyes gouged out
by the work of my thumbs
the scent of your insides
from under the floorboards
the perfect perfume
for settling a score.

I'll hide you in my walls
your body will never be found
I'll wear your skin as a suit
Pretend to be you, your friends will like you more than they used to
Pretend to be you, your friends will like you more than they used to

Ride the wings of....
Ride the wings of....
Ride the wings of....
Ride the wings of pestilence!
Ride the wings of pestilence!
Ride the wings of pestilence!
Ride the wings of pestilence!
Ride the wings of pestilence!
Ride the wings of pestilence!
Ride the wings of pestilence!
Ride the wings of pestilence!
 
Eric Clapton - Tears in heaven, Layla, Cocaine and many others..

Tears in Heaven
Would you know my name
If I saw you in heaven
Will it be the same
If I saw you in heaven
I must be strong, and carry on
Cause I know I don't belong
Here in heaven

Would you hold my hand
If I saw you in heaven
Would you help me stand
If I saw you in heaven
I'll find my way, through night and day
Cause I know I just can't stay
Here in heaven

Time can bring you down
Time can bend your knee
Time can break your heart
Have you begging please
Begging please

Beyond the door
There's peace I'm sure.
And I know there'll be no more...
Tears in heaven

Would you know my name
If I saw you in heaven
Will it be the same
If I saw you in heaven
I must be strong, and carry on
Cause I know I don't belong
Here in heaven

Cause I know I don't belong
Here in heaven


War - Why Can't We Be Friends

Staind - Outside, Its Been Awhile, Epiphany, For You

Three Doors Down - Here without you (has sentimental meaning because myself and my girlfriend have endured a long distance relationship for nearly 2 years after she went away to college and her family moved) When I'm gone

A ton of stuff by Hendrix, Deep Purple, Aerosmith, and modern artists. These were all just songs that were off the top off my head.
 
dimmu borgir - burn in hell
metallica - fade to black
rise against - swing life away
afi - god called in sick today

the list would go on forever
 
T.I. - Motivation

"You can look me in my eyes, see I'm ready for whatever
Anythang don't kill me, make me better
I ain't dead nigga, you can take the fame and the chedda
And the game, any deal, I'm still a go-getter
Take my freedom for the moment but it ain't fo-ever
I got the spirit of a god, heart of a dope dealer
I'm a king, seen hangin' with some cold killas
I ain't never back down or ran from no nigga
I ain't sat down yet, pimp, standin' gorilla
Even if I'ma all alone or standin' with four niggaz
Tell'em jump, pimpin' it don't get no realer
5'9" with the soul of a 6'4" nigga..."

Helps w/.... motivation, keeps me goin w/ school. i hate losing.
 
Disturbed- Rise

Rise
Throw away
The charade of your life
Let the flame of my heart
Burn away
Your complacence tonight
I command you to rise
Wash away
The decay of your life
Feel the light of your eyes
Find the way
Through the darkness tonight
Fearing no one

Do you really think I covet like you do?

Come, take me away
Remove the fear from my eyes
Feel the flame of my heart
Burning away
All conversation tonight
Hearing no one

Am I precious to you now

Now rise
Turn away
From the shame of your life
Feel the light from my eyes
Offering
Consolation tonight
Fearing no one

Do you really think I want it like you do?

Come, take me away
Remove the fear from my eyes
Feel the flame of my heart
Burning away
All conversation tonight
Hearing no one

Now, I cannot stop this
Pure emotion
Falling from my eyes
You are vindicating
Liberating
Saviors of my soul
 
Am I the only one who goes out of his way to not listen to lyrics? The human voice is a fantastic instrument; I think lyrics can get in the way of an otherwise great song though.
That's why I like listening to music sung in other languages... It keeps the lyrics out of the way but still includes voice as an instrument.

It's also probably the reason I can never come up with lyrics for any of my music. :)

I was going to post that, LOL...


and
Metallica: Fuel
GIMMEFUELGIMMEFIREGIMMETHATWHICHIDESIRE!!! HUUUU!!

and

Louis Armstrong.. What a wonderful world. It just puts me in a great mood.

I see trees of green, red roses too
I see them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world

I see skies of blue and clouds of white
The bright blessed day, the dark sacred night
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world

The colours of the rainbow, so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of people going by
I see friends shakin' hands, sayin' "How do you do?"
They're really saying "I love you"

I hear babies cryin', I watch them grow
They'll learn much more than I'll ever know
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world
Yes, I think to myself, what a wonderful world

Oh yeah
 
IIRC that's the song in the opening credits to Fallout 1.

I pray you've heard
The words I've spoken
Dare to believe
For one last time
Then I'll let the

Darkness cover me
Deny everything
Slowly walk away
To breathe again
On my own

Carry me away
I need your strength
To get me through this
Dare to believe
For one last time
Then I'll let the

Darkness cover me
Deny everything
Slowly walk away
To breathe again
On my own
