Post song lyrics that you find particularly meaningful Learn From This Mistake - Down
I've come so close, it's almost hard to believe When you're up close, it blinds you brilliantly Just one rush can change your life forever Just one push can end it all together Why can't we learn from the plague that surrounds us Learn from my mistakes Learn from this mistake Learn from our mistake Learn from their mistakes There's no shoulder to cry on when you have no shame There's no finger to point when you are to blame Open book, in my eyes shows you rain, then storming I can't look, when covered by the nothing and the suffering Learn from my mistakes Learn from this mistake Learn from our mistake Learn from their mistakes Learn from my mistake Believe me, all my friends, in the ending of the story There's no junkie out there with a happy ending It consumes you, and haunts you like the devil It's the art of the process that kills off all the rebels Learn from this mistake Learn from my mistake Learn from our mistake Learn from my mistake...

Never be afraid to love, never be afraid to just be. You've got to Cast away the chains of doubt and have the courage to be free. Don't cloud your eyes with others lies, see only what you want to see. Just duplicate this simple truth and have the courage to be free...Open your eyes, you can fly

PJ Harvey - "Horses in My Dreams"
Horses in my dreams Like waves, like the sea They pull out of here They pull, they are free Rode a horse around the world Along the tracks of a train Broke the record, found the gold Set myself free again I have pulled myself clear Horses in my dreams Like waves, like the sea On the tracks of a train Set myself free again I have pulled myself clear 2010: Healing the Wounds of the Past.... http://prince.org/msg/8/325740 | |

One song that really got to me was Funkin For Fun by Parliament. From what I can tell it's about Glenn Goins (the lead singer at this point) who had terminal cancer.

Hey, yeah Haaa I got to go Got to leave Something's missing That I need I need to find it Whatever it is That's burdening my mind I know mother will understand, yeah I know she knows that I'm still the same man They say bring up a child in the way he shall go And he shall not depart And I know when they said it, it turns my heart Hey, hey, hey, hoo Guy, guy guy guy guyeee (x4) Don't worry Don't! Worry 'bout me (don't worry) I'm just funkin' around For fun When you see my mother Don't!

Worry 'bout me (don't worry) I'm just funkin' around For fun Don't worry Don't!

I swear to God this song is the reason I was EXTREMELY careful not to bring any children into the world at an early age or get married. So in otherwords this song has always abeen particularly meaninful to ME.
THE RIVER By Bruce Springsteen I come from down in the valley where mister when you're young They bring you up to do like your daddy done Me and Mary we met in high school when she was just seventeen We'd ride out of that valley down to where the fields were green We'd go down to the river And into the river we'd dive Oh down to the river we'd ride Then I got Mary pregnant and man that was all she wrote And for my nineteenth birthday I got a union card and a wedding coat We went down to the courthouse and the judge put it all to rest No wedding day smiles no walk down the aisle No flowers no wedding dress That night we went down to the river And into the river we'd dive Oh down to the river we did ride I got a job working construction for the Johnstown Company But lately there ain't been much work on account of the economy Now all them things that seemed so important Well mister they vanished right into the air Now I just act like I don't remember Mary acts like she don't care But I remember us riding in my brother's car Her body tan and wet down at the reservoir At night on them banks I'd lie awake And pull her close just to feel each breath she'd take Now those memories come back to haunt me they haunt me like a curse Is a dream a lie if it don't come true Or is it something worse that sends me down to the river though I know the river is dry That sends me down to the river tonight Down to the river my baby and I Oh down to the river we ride | |

Hallelujah
There are all kinds of things I could ask you if I chose But I don't do I dear good intentions don't survive here No instead my requests tend to be dumb as hell Move in close, closer still, I hear the songs of Georgie Gershwin I swear at you 'cos I believe that sweet talk like candy rots teeth No Hallelujahs, or gifted voices To sing your praises I'd be walking on wheels No whoops or war crys or caramias All translations will read "Marry me now" Well I sing to express my belief that sweet talk like candy rots teeth With his hand on his heart, it's a posing place While draining the mystery from your face He admits all he's chasing is the chase But you won't let him run You make him suffer for all he's gone done He'll still be hurting when the kingdom comes Move in close till you see, he only wants what he can't have So when he gets it he's good as bad Move in close, closer still, I hear the songs of Georgie Gershwin Oh Hallelujah, how I'm walking on wheels | |

For me, nothing beats these old lyrics:
WHAT A WONDERFUL WORLD (George Weiss / Bob Thiele) 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 | |

"It's not really poetry, but it's pretty," he said.
As he raises his voice, she lowers her head. "It makes my heart heavy, you're lonely, I think. Oh, Rose, you're sad, I suppose." "Look in her bed and she's bound to be sleeping. She's lying there dead. - No, she's breathing." Furious Rose, with your opiate eyes, your languorous hum, that tone of surprise I've heard energy in adversity. Your smile: the soul of witchery. You're not running away, You're not running - are you? Lyrically longing, she's tearing the words from the page. She's fearfully seething. "Bring me your blessings, a prayer, or a new pen. - You don't know what I need." "Look in my bed and I'm bound to be sleeping, I'm lying there dead, but I'm breathing. And I'm barely balancing as it is, And I don't want to drown in my dreams Bring me wild plums and agrimony I bet you don't even know what that means." Furious Rose with your opiate eyes, Your languorous hum, that tone of surprise. I've heard energy in adversity. Your smile: the soul of witchery. You're not running away, you're not running - are you? Gingerly peering, over his shoulder, removed herself from the room. She's terribly freezing, she always knows when to go. | |

Anna Begins--Counting Crows
My friend assures me, "It's all or nothing," I am not worried--I am not overly concerned My friend implores me, "For one time only, make an exception." I am not worried Wrap her up in a package of lies Send her off to a coconut island I am not worried--I am not overly concerned with the status of my emotions "Oh,", she says, "you're changing." But we're always changing It does not bother me to say this isn't love Because if you don't want to talk about it then it isn't love And I guess I'm going to have to live with that But I'm sure there's something in a shade of grey, Something in between, And I can always change my name If that's what you mean My friend assures me, "It's all or nothing." But I am not really worried I am not overly concerned You try to tell yourself the things you try to tell yourself To make yourself forget I am not worried "If it's love," she said, "then we're going to have to think about the consequences." She can't stop shaking I can't stop touching her and... This time when kindness falls like rain It washes her away and Anna begins to change her mind "These seconds when I'm shaking leave me shuddering for days," she says And I"m not ready for this sort of thing But I'm not going to break And I'm not going to worry abut it anymore I'm not going to bend, and I'm not going to break and I'm not going to worry about it anymore It seems like I should say, "As long as this is love..." But it's not all that easy so maybe I should Snap her up in a butterfly net Pin her down on a photograph album I am not worried I've done this sort of thing before But then I start to think about the consequences Because I don't get no sleep in a quiet room... The time when kindness falls like rain It washes me away and Anna begins to change my mind And everytime she sneezes I believe it's love and Oh lord, I"m not ready for this sort of thing She's talking in her sleep It's keeping me awake and Anna begins to toss and turn And every word is nonsense but I understand and Oh lord, I'm not ready for this sort of thing Her kindness bangs a gong It's moving me along and Anna begins to fade away It's chasing me away--she disappears and Oh lord, I'm not ready for this sort of thing | |

MADONNA ~ "Love Tried To Welcome Me"
These are my hands, but what can they give me? These are my eyes, but they cannot see These are my arms, but they don't know tenderness And I must confess that I am usually drawn to sadness And loneliness has never been a stranger to me, but Chorus: Love tried to welcome me But my soul drew back Guilty of lust and sin Love tried to take me in These are my lips, but they whisper sorrow This is my voice, but it's telling lies I know how to laugh, but I don't know happiness And I must confess, instead of spring, it's always winter And my heart has always been a lonely hunter, but still Chorus2: Love tried to welcome me But my soul drew back I was covered with dust and sin Love tried to take me in Love tried to break me And I must confess, instead of spring, it's always winter And my heart has always been a lonely hunter, but still (chorus, inserting "I was" before "Guilty") (chorus2, removing "I was") [Love tried to break me] Love tried to welcome me But my soul drew back Guilty of lust and sin [I was covered with dust, covered with sorrow] Love tried to take me in [Covered] Still, love tried to welcome me But my soul drew back [Guilty of lust and sin] Covered with dust and sin Love tried to take me in [Love tried to break me] Love tried to welcome me [Love tried to welcome me] But my soul drew back Guilty of lust and sin [But my soul drew back] Love tried to take me in [I was covered with sadness] Love tried to welcome me (fade) | |

The Smiths
"Asleep" Sing me to sleep Sing me to sleep I'm tired and I I want to go to bed Sing me to sleep Sing me to sleep And then leave me alone Don't try to wake me in the morning 'Cause I will be gone Don't feel bad for me I want you to know Deep in the cell of my heart I will feel so glad to go Sing me to sleep Sing me to sleep I don't want to wake up On my own anymore Sing to me Sing to me I don't want to wake up On my own anymore Don't feel bad for me I want you to know Deep in the cell of my heart I really want to go There is another world There is a better world Well, there must be Well, there must be Well, there must be Well, there must be Well ...

Applekisses and DudeDrops' songs just reminded me of one I haven't listened to in awhile. I used to love these lyrics.
Peter Murphy--His Circle and Hers Meet As if afloat As if afraid The spirits meet Waited for an age It was a lesson sent Abstract and numbed Abstract and bleak Patience lent His test of patience lent Horizontal yet erect Yearning lying in wait Oneness floats about Unity served on his plate Circling round about The lover he will meet Dripping mellow stains of long MMM Melting in her heat The lover he must meet Circling round about Driping mellow stains of long Melting in her heat Without a blink Without a sigh His circle and hers meet Synchronised split Split seconds beat She killed his past With her kiss All past was but a lie She killed his head She killed his mouth And opened up the sky She killed his past With her kiss All past was but a lie She killed his head She killed his mouth The he-she joining The moment now Would be the only sound No front no back No present tense No milk from no holy cow She killed his past With her kiss All past was but a lie She killed his head She killed his mouth And opened up the sky | |
