"The Becoming" - Nine Inch Nails


I beat my machine
it's a part of me
it's inside of me
I'm stuck in this dream
it's changing me
I am becoming

the me that you know he had some second thoughts
he's covered with scabs he is broken and sore
the me that you know he doesn't come around much
that part of me isn't here anymore

all pain disappears
it's the nature of
of my circuitry
drowns out all i hear
no escape from this
my new conciousness

the me that you know he used to have feelings
but the blood has stopped pumping and he is left to decay
the me that you know is now made up of wires
and even when i'm right with you i'm so far away

I can try to get away but I've strapped myself in
I can try to scratch away the sound in my ears
I can see it killing away all of my bad parts
I don't want to listen, but it's all too clear

hiding backwards inside of me
I feel so unafraid
annie, hold a little tighter
I might just slip away

it won't give up, it wants me dead
and goddamn this noise inside my head
it won't give up, it wants me dead
and goddamn this noise inside my head
it won't give up, it wants me dead
and goddamn this noise inside my head
it won't give up, it wants me dead
and goddamn this noise inside my head
it won't give up, it wants me dead
and goddamn this noise inside my head
it won't give up, it wants me dead
and goddamn this noise inside my head
it won't give up, it wants me dead
and goddamn this noise inside my head
it won't give up, it wants me dead
and goddamn this noise inside my head

... The "Still" version pisses all over the original though IMO. I love this fucking song - I see my sister and myself in the lyrics.

Artist: Matisyahu
Song: Exaltation
Album: Shake Off The Dust...Arise
[B u y " Shake Off The Dust...Arise " CD]

Chorus:
Exaltation, my G-d of salvation
The field and there in will be filled with jubilation
The lord's name will be proclaimed amongst the Nations
We don't have no time for patience

Heavens rejoice and the earth will exalt
Oh no, come swing back like a catapult
The sea and its fullness will roar
He is our help and our shield our soul yearns for the lord
Burning G-d of Yaacov everlasting stronghold
Break down the door I can't hold back no more
Wait all night long, until the early morning
Like night watchmen wait for the dawning

Chorus

Arise, be our help
Place my trust in your kindness
It's a must hoping in the G-d of deliverance
Since way back when before time began
Existing eternally, everlasting, rejoice in the name of his majesty so we sing

Chorus

Chant sweet melodies, utter hymns and sing praise to his name
For he's alone exalted holy,
Performing mighty deeds and making new things,
Sowing righteousness and creating healing
He spoke, the world came into being
Master of praise, renews each day
Redeems and saves, continuously, blessed is his name
Making great lights, creating luminaries
Abounding in mercy
Won't you grant me?
Understanding
To perceive, all the teachings in your Torah of love, existing eternally, lead me

Today...



"Can't Be Stopped"

Nothing's gonna stop us
We can't be stopped

I know that it's not been easy
Trying to make it in this crazy world
People 'round you try to stop you
Stomp you saying that you don't belong

You must remember that
We were born with blood of kings and queens
And can't be stopped
Stay stronger my sister you can't be stopped
No, you can't be stopped

I know that sometimes
You get to feelin' I've given up on you
The pressure seems to, to defeat you
Beat you when you feel you can't go on

You must remember that
You were born with blood of kings and queens
And can't be stopped
Stay stronger my brother you can't be stopped
No, you can't be stopped

Don't ever let nobody tell you you ain't strong enough
Strong enough, don't let nobody tell you you ain't
Strong enough, don't let nobody tell you

You know that I will be right here
To remind you that we need
Togetherness, 'cause lost pride
Has no room, if you don't forget
Where you come from

...So that's the title of that song. I used to love that damn song but for some reason it always made me cry like a fucking punk.

GreenLeaves said:

Yep, that's it. It's a cool song, though. In fact it's one of my most favoritest CDs in the whole world.

morningsong said:

I have yet to come across someone that didn't like "The Velvet Rope" disc.

I never meant 2 cause u any sorrow
I never meant 2 cause u any pain
I only wanted 2 one time see u laughing
I only wanted 2 see u laughing in the purple rain

Purple rain purple rain
Purple rain purple rain
Purple rain purple rain

I only wanted 2 see u bathing in the purple rain

I never wanted 2 be your weekend lover
I only wanted 2 be some kind of friend
Baby I could never steal u from another
Its such a shame our friendship had 2 end

Purple rain purple rain
Purple rain purple rain
Purple rain purple rain

I only wanted 2 see u underneath the purple rain

Honey I know, I know, I know times are changing
Its time we all reach out 4 something new
That means u 2
U say u want a leader
But u cant seem 2 make up your mind
I think u better close it
And let me guide u 2 the purple rain

Purple rain purple rain
Purple rain purple rain

If you know what Im singing about up here
Cmon raise your hand

Purple rain purple rain

I only want 2 see u, only want 2 see u
In the purple rain

Static

don't know if I want you to understand me
don't know if I want you to understand me
don't know if I want you to understand me
or go
don't know if I want you to see through me
I confess this heavy heart has me on my knees
dont know if I want you to see through me, or go
or go
or go
or go

cause it feels like static when you're here
static when you're gone
static everywhere
static everytime

love come and bless me
show me how it feels
been here time before and it wasnt real
don't know if I want you to understand me or go
can't blame you dove when the blame is mine
to love and let go was never the design
don't know if I want you to see through me or go

cause it feels like static when you're here
static when you're gone
static everywhere
static everytime
everytime

even as my demons leave
unsure if I want you to see through me
don't know if I want you to understand me or go
let go
go go...

I remember it was that Wednesday
Oh when it rained and it rained
They traipsed mud all over the house
It took hours and hours to scrub it out
All over the hall carpet
I took my mop and bucket
And I cleaned and I cleaned
The kitchen floor
Until it sparkled
Then I took my laundry basket
And put the linen all in it
And everything I could fit in it
And all our dirty clothes that hadn't gone into the wash
And all your shirts and jeans and things
And put them in the new washing machine
Washing machine
Washing machine

I watched them go 'round and 'round
My blouse wrapping itself around your trousers
Oh the waves are going out
My skirt floating up around my waist
As I wade out into the surf
Oh and the waves are coming in
Oh and the waves are going out
Oh and you're standing right behind me
Little fish swim between my legs
Oh and the waves are coming in
Oh and the waves are going out
Oh and the waves are coming in
Out of the corner of my eye
I think I see you standing outside
But it's just your shirt
Hanging on the washing line
Waving its arm as the wind blows by
And it looks so alive
Nice and white
Just like its climbed right out
Of my washing machine
Washing machine
Washing machine

Slooshy sloshy slooshy sloshy
Get that dirty shirty clean
Slooshy sloshy slooshy sloshy
Make those cuffs and collars gleam
Everything clean and shiny

Washing machine
Washing machine
Washing machine

She says she's got it all planned out
She's got places to go
And I don't have a single doubt
She will find her way home

And she laughs like she's free and it's like a thousand lights at once
She moves with her soul

Shine, shine when the world is dark as night
Don't be afraid to know you're right
And when you just can't shine no more
That's what I'm here for

I know that I can't trade with you
I was ten once before
But all the things that make you you
I would pay highly for

And she's laughs like she's free and it's like a thousand lights at once
She moves with her soul

Shine, shine when the world is dark as night
Don't be afraid to know you're right
And when you just can't shine no more
That's what I'm here for

And I know you're here for a million reasons, some still to come
In my heart you're here to make sure that I have one more girl to love

Shine, shine when the world is dark as night
Don't be afraid to know you're right
And when you just can't shine no more
That's what I'm here for

"Heresy" - Nine Inch Nails


he sewed his eyes shut,
because he is afraid to see,
he tries to tell me,
what I put inside of me,
he's got the answers,
to ease my curiosity,
he dreamed a God up,
and called it Christianity.

God is dead,
and no one cares,
if there is a hell,
I'll see you there.

he flexed his muscles,
to keep his flock of sheep in line,
he made a virus,
that would kill off all the swine,
his perfect kingdom,
of killing, suffering and pain.
demands devotion,
atrocities done in his name.

God is dead,
and no one cares,
if there is a hell,
I'll see you there,
your God is dead,
and no one cares,
if there is a hell,
I'll see you there.

God is dead,
and no on cares,
if there is a hell,
I'll see you there,
your God is dead,
and no one cares,
(drowning in his own hypocrisy)
if there is a hell,
I'll see you there,
(burning with your God in humility)

"There's a hole in the world
Like a great black pit
And the vermin of the world
Inhabit it
And it's morals aren't worth
What a pig could spit
And it goes by the name of London"

CarrieAnn said:

Title? Artist?

Me likey - 'cept for the part about London (and I'm not even from there).

GreenLeaves said:

It's part of "No Place Like London", from Sweeny Todd
Here's more...

"At the top of the hole
Sit a priviledged few
Making mock of the vermin
In the lower zoo
Turning beauty into filth and greed
I, too
Have sailed the world and seen its wonders
For the cruelty of men
Is as wondrous as Peru
But there's no place like London"

"Come Around"

I'm dressed all in blue and I'm remembering you
And the dress you wore when you broke my heart
I'm depressed upstairs and I'm remembering where
And when and how and why'd you have to go so far
Am I gonna be lonely for the rest of my life
Am I gonna be lonely for the rest of my life
I'm gonna be lonely for the rest of my life
Unless you come around so come around
I'm dressed all in white and I remember the night
You came on to me and opened up my heart
I was hollow then till you filled me in now I'm empty again
I should have never let it start
Am I gonna be lonely for the rest of my life
Am I gonna be lonely for the rest of my life
I'm gonna be lonely for the rest of my life
Unless you come around so come around
No one else can fix me although sometimes my heart tricks me
Into thinking someone else will do
But you're the only one you are the only one
Am I gonna be lonely for the rest of my life
Am I gonna be lonely for the rest of my life
I'm gonna be lonely for the rest of my life
Unless you come around so come around
So come around so come around
I'm dressed all in blue and I'm remembering you
And the dress you wore when you broke my heart

There’s something about the look in your eyes
Something I noticed when the light was just right
It reminded me twice that I was alive
And it reminded me that you’re so worth the fight

My biggest fear will be the rescue of me
Strange how it turns out that way, yeah
Could you show me dear?
Something I've not seen.
Something infinitely interesting
Could you show me dear?
Something I've not seen.
Something infinitely interesting

There’s something about the way you move
I see your mouth in slow motion when you sing
More subtle than something someone contrives
Your movements echo that I've seen the real thing.

Your biggest fear will be the rescue of you
Strange how it turns out that way, yeah
Could you show me dear?
Something I've not seen.
Something infinitely interesting
Could you show me dear?
Something I've not seen.
Something infinitely interesting

Echo by Incubus

Just a reflection
Just a glimpse
Just a little reminder
Of all the what abouts
And all the might have
Could have beens
Another day
Some other way
But not another reason to continue
And now youre one of us
The wretched

The hopes and prays
The better days
The far aways
Forget it

It didnt turn out the way you wanted it to, did it

Now you know
This is what it feels like
Now you know
This is what it feels like

The clouds will part and the sky cracks open
And God himself will reach his fucking arm through
Just to push you down
Just to hold you down
Stuck in this hole with the shit and the piss
And its hard to believe it could come down to this
Back at the beginning
Sinking
Spinning
And in the end
We still pretend
The time we spend
Not knowing when
Youre finally free
And you could be

But it didnt turn out the way you wanted it to
It didnt turn out quite the way you wanted it

Now you know
This is what it feels like

You can try to stop it but it keeps on coming
You can try to stop it but

I love Trent

she shines
in a world full of ugliness
she matters
when everything is meaningless

fragile
she doesn't see her beauty
she tries to get away
sometimes
it's just that nothing seems worth saving
i can't watch her slip away

i wont let you fall apart

she reads the minds of all the people as they pass her by
hoping someone can see
if i could fix myself i'd -
but it's too late for me

i wont let you fall apart

we'll find the perfect place to go where we can run and hide
i'll build a wall and we can keep them on the other side
...but they keep waiting
...and picking...

it's something i have to do
i was there, too
before everything else

i was like you

You were so strange/You didn't have the decency to change the sheets

Lloraras
Lloraras cuando se vaya el sol
Y yo con el dejando tu vida sola
Te diran
Te diran las flores del jardin
Cuanto te ame y cuanto soñe tu luz
Devuelveme ese corazon
Que tu no supiste valorar lo que te daba yo de verdad
Devuelvelo
Devuelvelo no es tuyo no
Ya se acabo el tiempo en que tu brillabas

Devuelveme ese corazon
Que tu no supiste valorar lo en verdad te daba yo
Ooooh Oooh

(Chorus)
Hoy me voy pero no
No se va la herida grande que me queda
Por amarte, por mi culpa
Por los besos que en el mar te di
Corazon me sobro y coraje me falto para dejarte
Tengo miedo de no olvidarte
Y poreso de ti me despido
Hoy me voy
Hoy me voy

Devuelveme ese corazon
Que tu no supiste valorar lo en verdad te daba yo
Ooooh Oooh

(Chorus)
Hoy me voy pero no
No se va la herida grande que me queda
Por amarte, por mi culpa
Por los besos que en el mar te di
Corazon me sobro y coraje me falto para dejarte
Tengo miedo de no olvidarte
Y poreso de ti me despido
Hoy me voy

(Chorus)
Hoy me voy pero no
No se va la herida grande que me queda
Por amarte, por mi culpa
Por los besos que en el mar te di
Corazon me sobro y coraje me falto para dejarte
Tengo miedo de no olvidarte
Y poreso de ti me despido
Hoy me voy
Hoy me voy
Hoy me voy

Aqui me despido..
Hoy me voy
Hoy me voy
Hoy me voy
