Lyrics that strike a chord

Apologies for the cheesy title. :nerd:

I find that music is very important to how I feel. It lets me deal with emotions. I often find that lyrics -as they can be interpreted in many ways- help me through a lot of things. Even when I'm completly happy.

So...What lyrics have you listened to recently that are really important to you and help you deal with a certain situation better?

I'll start it off:

My 'relation' was with a girl that had some problems. The song "I walk beside you" by Dream Theater had some really fitting lyrics to the situation:

"There's a story in your eyes
I can see the hurt behind your smile
For every sign I recognize
Another one escapes me

Let me know what plagues your mind
Let me be the one to know you best
Be the one to hold you up
When you feel like you're sinking

Tell me once again
What's beneath the pain you're feeling
Don't abandon me
Or think you can't be saved

I walk beside you
Wherever you are
Whatever it takes
No matter how far
Through all the may come
And all that may go
I walk beside you
I walk beside you

Summon up your ghosts for me
Rest your tired thoughts upon my hands
Step inside this sacred place
When all your dreams seem broken

Resonate inside this temple
Let me be the one who understands
Be the one to carry you
When you can walk no further

Tell me once again
What's below the surface bleeding
If you've lost your way,
I will take you there

I walk beside you
Wherever you are
Whatever it takes
No matter how far
Through all that may come
And all that may go
I walk beside you
I walk beside you

Oh, where everything is wrong
Oh, where hopelessness surrounds you
Oh, the sun will rise again
The tide you swim against
Will carry you back home
So don't give up
Don't give in

I walk beside you
Wherever you are
Whatever it takes
No matter how far
Through all that may come
And all that may go
I walk beside you
I walk beside you"

It's kinda long, but this entire song is so important to me

Quote:

The lovers need to clear the road cause this thing is ready to blow.
I just wanna set you on fire so I wont have to burn alone.
Then you...Then you'll know where I'm coming from.
Fire bomb.

These Lyrics are getting to me right now because I am so angry with my ex-fiance because I'm full of resentment. All I want to do is make him feel the way he has made me feel.

The last time I freaked out
I just kept lookin' down
I st-st-stuttered when
You asked me what I'm thinkin' 'bout
felt like I couldn't breathe
You asked what's wrong with me
My best friend leslie said
"Oh, she's just bein' Miley"
And next time we hang out
I will redeem myself
My heart, can't rest till then
Whoa, whoa, I
I can't wait
To see you again

I got this crazy feelin'
Deep inside
when You called and ask to see me
Tomorrow night

I'm not a mind reader
But I'm readin' the signs
that you can't wait
To see me again

Chorus
The last time I freaked out
I just kept lookin' down
I st-st-stuttered when
You asked me what I'm thinkin' 'bout
felt like I couldn't breathe
You asked what's wrong with me
My best friend leslie said
"Oh, she's just bein' Miley"
And next time we hang out
I will redeem myself
My heart, can't rest till then
Whoa, whoa, I
I can't wait
To see you again

I've got my sight set on you
And I'm ready to aim

Chorus
The last time I freaked out
I just kept lookin' down
I st-st-stuttered when
You asked me what I'm thinkin' 'bout
felt like I couldn't breathe
You asked what's wrong with me
My best friend leslie said
"Oh, she's just bein' Miley"
and next time we hang out
I will redeem myself
My heart, can't rest till then
Whoa, whoa, I
I can't wait
To see you again

Whoa, whoa, I
I can't wait
To see you again

I'm Gonna live my life
Like every day's the last
Without a simple goodbye
It all goes by so fast.

And now that you're gone
I can't cry hard enough
No I can't cry hard enough
For you to hear me now.

Gonna open my eyes
And see for the first time
I let go of you like
A child letting go of his kite,
There it goes up in the sky
There it goes beyond the clouds
For no reason why

I can't cry hard enough
No, I can't cry hard enough
For you to hear me now.

There it goes up in the sky
There it goes beyond the clouds
For no reason why

I can't cry hard enough
No, I can't cry hard enough
For you to hear me now

LOVE this thread! I'm with you, music is my drug for any sort of feeling I have. I re-heard this song this weekend and its so what I'm feeling right now.

on my way up north
up on the ventura
i pulled back the hood
and i was talking to you
and i knew then it would be
a life long thing
but i didn't know that we
we could break a silver lining

and i'm so sad
like a good book
i can't put this day back
a sorta fairytale
with you
a sorta fairytale
with you

things you said that day
up on the 101
the girl had come undone
i tried to downplay it
with a bet about us
you said that-
you'd take it
as long as i could
i could not erase it

and i'm so sad
like a good book
i can't put this day back
a sorta fairytale
with you
a sorta fairytale
with you

and i ride along side
and i rode along side
you then
and i rode along side
till you lost me there
in the open road
and i rode along side
till the honey spread
itself so thin
for me to break your bread
for me to take your word
i had to steal it

and i'm so sad
like a good book
i can't put this day back
a sorta fairytale
with you
a sorta fairytale
with you

i could pick back up
whenever i feel

down new mexico way
something about
the open road
i knew that he was
looking for some indian blood and
find a little in you find a little
in me we may be
on this road but
we're just
impostors
in this country you know
so we go along and we said
we'd fake it
feel better with
oliver stone
till i
almost smacked him -
seemed right that night and
i don't know what
takes hold
out there in the
desert cold
these guys think they must
try and just get over on us

and i'm so sad
like a good book
i can't put this
day back
a sorta fairytale
with you
a sorta fairytale
with you

and i was ridin' by
ridin' along side
for a while till you lost me
and i was ridin' by
ridin' along till you lost me
till you lost
me in
the rear
view
you lost me
i said

way up north i took my day
all in all was a pretty nice
day and i put the hood
right back where
you could taste heaven
perfectly
feel out the summer breeze
didn't know when we'd be back
and i, i don't
didn't think
we'd end up like
like this

Also by Dream Theater....I won't post the entire song, but I some phrases and passages are pretty much the words I try to live by:

Don't
Tell me what's in
Tell me how to write
Don't tell me how to win this fight
Isn't your life
It isn't your right
To take the only thing that's mine

To those who understand, I extend my hand
To the doubtful I demand, take me as I am
Not under your command, I know where I stand
I won't change to fit your plan, Take me as I am

''Slow down,
You're thinking too much
Where is your soul?''
You cannot touch
The way I play
Or tell me what to say
You're in the way
Of all that I believe in

I've never felt alone
'Till I met you
I'm all right on my own
And then I met you
And I'd know what to do if I just knew what's coming
I would change myself if I could
I'd walk with my people if I could find them
And I'd say that I'm sorry to you
I'm sorry to you
And I don't want to call you
But then I want to call you 'cause I don't want to crush you
But I feel like crushing you
And it's true I took for granted you were with me
I breathe by your looks and you look right through me

Pearls and swine bereft of me
Long and weary my road has been
I was lost in the cities
Alone in the hills
No sorrow or pity for leaving I feel

I am not your rolling wheels
I am the Highway
I am not your carpet ride
I am the sky

Friends and liars don't wait for me
'Cause I'll get on all by myself
I put millions of miles
Under my heels
And still too close to you
I feel

Barney is a dinosaur from our imagination.
When he's tall he's what we call a dinosaur sensation!

Barney friends are big and small they come from lots of places.
After school they meet to play and sing with happy faces!

Barney shows us lots of things, like how to play pretend!
A-B-C's and 1-2-3's and how to be a friend!

Barney comes to play with us whenever we may need him.
Barney can be your friend too if you just make believe him!
If you just make believe him!!!

Beautiful text, worth to take Your time and translate...

Shy'm 'T'es parti'

Y'a l'homme que l'on aime,
et l'autre qu'on ne comprend pas
si les deux sont le même,
alors lequel nous restera,
je ne sais pas, je ne sais plus
lequel tu seras quand tu reviendras

Refrain:

Y'a pas que l'amour blesse,
y'a les conséquence de certains gestes,
T'es parti.
Ta famille pleure et la fête est finie,
y'a pas que l'erreur qui blesse,
y'a le mal de l'absence qui reste,
ce pour la vie,
mais comment as tu pu finir ainsi.


Y'a l'homme que l'on aime, l'autre qui ne s'aime pas,
qui s'endort sur ses problèmes,
trop fière ne parle pas,
je ne sais pas, je ne sais plus,
et deux visages pour deux images,
OH non,
Je ne sais pas, je ne sais plus,
Comment te reconnaitre quand tu reviendras.

Refrain:

Y'a pas que l'amour blesse,
y'a les conséquence de certains gestes,
T'es parti.
Ta famille pleure et la fête est finie,
y'a pas que l'erreur qui blesse,
y'a le mal de l'absence qui reste,
ce pour la vie,
mais comment as tu pu finir ainsi.

Y'a pas que l'amour blesse,
y'a les conséquence de certains gestes,
T'es parti.
Ta famille pleure et la fête est finie,
y'a pas que l'erreur qui blesse,
y'a le mal de l'absence qui reste,
ce pour la vie,
mais comment a tu pu finir ainsi.

Y'a pas que l'amour blesse,
y'a les conséquence de certains gestes,
T'es parti.
Ta famille pleure et la fête est finie,
y'a pas que l'erreur qui blesse,
y'a le mal de l'absence qui reste,
ce pour la vie,
mais comment as tu pu finir ainsi.

Circles they grow and they swallow people whole
Half their lives they say goodnight to wives they'll never know
A mind full of questions, and a teacher in my soul
And so it goes...

Don't come closer or I'll have to go
Holding me like gravity are places that pull
If ever there was someone to keep me at home
It would be you...
Everyone I come across, in cages they bought
They think of me and my wandering, but I'm never what they thought
I've got my indignation, but I'm pure in all my thoughts
I'm alive...

Wind in my hair, I feel part of everywhere
Underneath my being is a road that disappeared
Late at night I hear the trees, they're singing with the dead
Overhead...

Leave it to me as I find a way to be
Consider me a satellite, forever orbiting
I knew all the rules, but the rules did not know meGuaranteed

I've actually been listening to this entire cd since last night, but this song in particular hits home with me. A little at a time, its getting better....
A little Better by Gnarls Barkley

[Cee-Lo]
Now I can sing you the storyline
And if you like my story fine
But ain't none of the glory mine
See my life was a lonely one
And I was still momma's only son
With no idea what I'm gon' become
And I didn't have long to know
That you don't have to be grown to go
I could have died so long befo'
Then I finally saw the sign
And I made it on down the line
One step at a time

[Chorus]
I feel better!
I can smile at it now, I feel better
Ohhhh, better!
And even a little is still better
Oh, have mercy on me

[Cee-Lo]
Ohhh it's probably plain to see
That I got a whole lot of pain in me
And it will always remain in me
So cold, it's a cryin shame
Yet here I am, tryin again
Cause I refuse to die in vain
The circumstances put soul in me
And there ain't no holdin me
I've got a heart made of gold in me
Hah, can you believe this is where I've been?
And when adversity comes again
I'll deal with it then

[Chorus]
I feel better!
I can laugh at it now, I feel better, heh heh
Ohhhh, better!
And even a little is still better
Oh, have mercy on me-heeeeeeee

[Cee-Lo]
Ah-ahhh-hahhh-ah yeahhh
Mmmmmmmmmm, ohhhhhhh-oh-ohhhh!

I said everything's fine, you can take your time
What would be on your mind, if you knew you was dyin
I would wanna just feel this ah-one more time
I said everything's fine, take yo' time
What would be on your mind, if you knew you was dyin
I would wanna just feel this ah-one more time
I wanna thank you morning sun
I wanna thank you lowly dirt
Now I know I'm not the only one
I, I wanna thank you friendly ghost
When all the calls were close
It seems like you cared the most
I, I wanna thank you Mom and Dad
For hurtin me so bad
But you're the best I ever had
I, I wanna thank you... [fades]

RHCP know whats up...

Quote:

My friends are so distressed
And standing on the brink of emptiness
No words I know of to express
This emptiness

I love all of you
Hurt by the cold
So hard and lonely too
When you don't know yourself

Imagine me, taught by tragedy
Release is peace

I heard a little girl
And what she said was something beautiful
To give your love no matter what
Is what she said

I love all of you
Hurt by the cold
So hard and lonely too
When you don't know yourself

U2 knows too...

Quote:

---

You say you want
Diamonds on a ring of gold
You say you want
Your story to remain untold

But all the promises we make
From the cradle to the grave
When all I want is you

You say you'll give me
A highway with no one on it
Treasure just to look upon it
All the riches in the night

You say you'll give me
Eyes in a moon of blindness
A river in a time of dryness
A harbour in the tempest
But all the promises we make
From the cradle to the grave
When all I want is you

---

Grandma. <3 forever.

Quote:

---

I wanted you to know I love the way you laugh
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain away
I keep your photograph, I know it serves me well
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain

'Cause I'm broken when I'm open
And I don't feel like I am strong enough
'Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome
And I don't feel right when you're gone away

The worst is over now and we can breathe again
I wanna hold you high, you steal my pain away
There's so much left to learn, and no one left to fight
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain
