    Favorite song lyrics that affect you in some way

    I am listening to a few today, been pensive, I guess and thought maybe others have songs and lyrics that go to when happy, lonely, lost or sad.

    You can share the whole set of lyrics, or only a snippet from them.

    - This Woman's Work

    - I like both versions by Kate Bush and Maxwell I have heard. The beginning of the song is remindful of wailing of sorrow and pain and it sets the mood and draws me into the verses and song.

    Here is the full lyrics. Listen to the song if you've never heard it before.

    Pray God you can cope
    I'll stand outside
    This woman's work
    This woman's world
    Oh it's hard on the man
    Now his part is over
    Now starts the craft of the Father

    I know you've got a little life in you yet
    I know you've got a lot of strength left
    I know you've got a little life in you yet
    I know you've got a lot of strength left

    I should be crying but I just can't let it show
    I should be hoping but I can't stop thinking
    All the things we should've said that I never said
    All the things we should've done but we never did
    All the things we should've given but I didn't

    Oh, darling, make it go, make it go away

    Give me these moments
    Give them back to me
    Give me your little kiss

    Give me your...
    I know you have a little life in you yet
    Give me your hand, babe
    I know you have a lot of strength left
    Give me your pretty hand
    I know you have a little life in you yet
    Oh oh oh
    I know you have a lot of strength left

    My love child
    I know you have a little life in you yet
    Whatever you need me
    I know you have a lot of strength left
    Give me your hand
    I know you have a little life in you yet
    Give me your hand
    I know you have a lot of strength left

    I should be crying but I just can't let it show, baby
    I should be hopin' but I can't stop thinkin'
    Of all the things we should've said that we never said
    All the things we should've done that we never did
    All the things that you wanted from me
    All the things that you needed from me
    All the things I should've given but I didn't

    Oh, darling, make it go away, just make it go away

    God, there's just so many. For different moods, different reasons, etc. One of the ones lately where the lyrics have really meant something to me has been "Hero" by Skillet. I tried to pick out some lyrics, but honestly it is just the whole song. Pasting below for anybody interested.

    Fairly recently I went through kind of a rough patch. It took me a while to dig myself out of it, but as I always do, I came out of it stronger than ever. Unfortunately, I've also somewhat given up on people. I don't really think that is such a good thing, but at least some good did come of it.... which is that I've found renewed strength in myself. I've sort of begun to become my own hero. So, to me in a way, these lyrics represent my continued struggle to be my own hero. That I won't let this world change who I am, and I would be willing to lay my life on the line to protect what I feel is right and/or protect the few people in my life who do matter.

    Hero
    - Skillet

    I'm just a step away
    I'm just a breath away
    Losin' my faith today
    (Fallin' off the edge today)

    I am just a man
    Not superhuman
    (I'm not superhuman)
    Someone save me from the hate

    It's just another war
    Just another family torn
    (Falling from my faith today)
    Just a step from the edge
    Just another day in the world we live

    I need a hero to save me now
    I need a hero (save me now)
    I need a hero to save my life
    A hero'll save me (just in time)

    I've gotta fight today
    To live another day
    Speakin' my mind today
    (My voice will be heard today)

    I've gotta make a stand
    But I am just a man
    (I'm not superhuman)
    My voice will be heard today

    It's just another war
    Just another family torn
    (My voice will be heard today)
    It's just another kill
    The countdown begins to destroy ourselves

    I need a hero to save me now
    I need a hero (save me now)
    I need a hero to save my life
    A hero'll save me (just in time)

    I need a hero to save my life
    I need a hero just in time
    Save me just in time
    Save me just in time

    Who's gonna fight for what's right
    Who's gonna help us survive
    We're in the fight of our lives
    (And we're not ready to die)

    Who's gonna fight for the weak
    Who's gonna make 'em believe
    I've got a hero (I've got a hero)
    Livin' in me

    I'm gonna fight for what's right
    Today I'm speaking my mind
    And if it kills me tonight
    (I will be ready to die)

    A hero's not afraid to give his life
    A hero's gonna save me just in time

    I need a hero to save me now
    I need a hero (save me now)
    I need a hero to save my life
    A hero'll save me (just in time)

    I need a hero
    Who's gonna fight for what's right
    Who's gonna help us survive

    I need a hero
    Who's gonna fight for the weak
    Who's gonna make 'em believe
    I need a hero
    I need a hero

    A hero's gonna save me just in time

    People don't groan at me But Adele's song ~ Hello is a song I go to because of its lyrics

    "Hello"

    Hello, it's me
    I was wondering if after all these years you'd like to meet
    To go over everything
    They say that time's supposed to heal ya
    But I ain't done much healing

    Hello, can you hear me?
    I'm in California dreaming about who we used to be
    When we were younger and free
    I've forgotten how it felt before the world fell at our feet

    There's such a difference between us
    And a million miles

    Hello from the other side
    I must have called a thousand times
    To tell you I'm sorry for everything that I've done
    But when I call you never seem to be home
    Hello from the outside
    At least I can say that I've tried
    To tell you I'm sorry for breaking your heart
    But it don't matter. It clearly doesn't tear you apart anymore

    Hello, how are you?
    It's so typical of me to talk about myself. I'm sorry
    I hope that you're well
    Did you ever make it out of that town where nothing ever happened?

    And it's no secret that the both of us
    Are running out of time

    So hello from the other side (other side)
    I must have called a thousand times (thousand times)
    To tell you I'm sorry for everything that I've done
    But when I call you never seem to be home
    Hello from the outside (outside)
    At least I can say that I've tried (I've tried)
    To tell you I'm sorry for breaking your heart
    But it don't matter. It clearly doesn't tear you apart anymore
    __________________________________________________ _________

    These lines in particular ~
    They say that time's supposed to heal ya
    But I ain't done much healing
    __________________________
    Hello from the outside
    At least I can say that I've tried
    To tell you I'm sorry for breaking your heart
    But it don't matter. It clearly doesn't tear you apart anymore
    ______________________________________________

    And it's no secret that the both of us
    Are running out of time

    [MENTION=78034]breathe123[/MENTION] I love Adele and that song too.

    James Bay's song - Hold back The River

    Tried to keep you close to me,
    But life got in between
    Tried to square not being in there
    But think that I should've been

    Hold back the river, let me look in your eyes
    Hold back the river, so I
    Can stop for a minute and see where you hide
    Hold back the river, hold back

    Once upon a different life
    We rode our bikes into the sky
    But now we're caught against the tide
    Those distant days all flashing by

    Hold back the river, let me look in your eyes
    Hold back the river, so I
    Can stop for a minute and be by your side
    Hold back the river, hold back

    And as we wind on down the road
    Our shadows taller than our soul.
    There walks a lady we all know
    Who shines white light and wants to show
    How everything still turns to gold.
    And if you listen very hard
    The tune will come to you at last.
    When all are one and one is all
    To be a rock and not to roll.

    And she's buying a stairway to heaven.
    Life is a song - sing it. Life is a game - play it. Life is a challenge - meet it. Life is a dream - realize it. Life is a sacrifice - offer it. Life is love - enjoy it.

    Another recent one for me has been the Disturbed song Indestructible. It's kind of like my Eye of the Tiger lately. I play this one a lot during my workouts, and just let the hate out. Particularly this part fires me up....

    You will be shown
    How I've become

    Indestructible
    Determination that is incorruptible
    From the other side
    A terror to behold
    Annihilation will be unavoidable
    Every broken enemy will know
    That their opponent had to be invincible
    Take a last look around while you're alive
    I'm an indestructible master of war

    Christina Perri

    "A Thousand Years"

    Heart beats fast
    Colors and promises
    How to be brave?
    How can I love when I'm afraid to fall?
    But watching you stand alone,
    All of my doubt suddenly goes away somehow.

    One step closer

    [Chorus:]
    I have died every day waiting for you
    Darling, don't be afraid I have loved you
    For a thousand years
    I'll love you for a thousand more

    Time stands still
    Beauty in all she is
    I will be brave
    I will not let anything take away
    What's standing in front of me
    Every breath
    Every hour has come to this

    One step closer

    [Chorus:]
    I have died every day waiting for you
    Darling, don't be afraid I have loved you
    For a thousand years
    I'll love you for a thousand more

    And all along I believed I would find you
    Time has brought your heart to me
    I have loved you for a thousand years
    I'll love you for a thousand more

    One step closer
    One step closer

    [Chorus:]
    I have died every day waiting for you
    Darling don't be afraid I have loved you
    For a thousand years
    I'll love you for a thousand more

    And all along I believed I would find you
    Time has brought your heart to me
    I have loved you for a thousand years
    I'll love you for a thousand more

    There can be miracles when you believe
    Though hope is frail, it's hard to kill
    Who knows what miracles you can achieve
    When you believe, somehow you will
    You will when you believe

    Oh yeah, in this time of fear
    When prayer so often proves in vain
    Hope seems like the summer birds
    Too swiftly flown away
    Yet now I'm standing here
    My heart so full I can't explain
    Seeking faith and speaking words
    I never thought I'll say

    Another one that has meant a lot to me lately has been another song by Disturbed. A new one, actually, called The Light. Frankly, I've been going through kind of a dark time in my life lately. I've sort of lost my way. Lost my hope. Lost my hope of finding meaning in this world. Lost my hope of finding love. Lost my hope of feeling like I have any purpose. I'm sort of settling into accepting what feels like my inevitable fate to live an unhappy life and die alone. It's taking everything in me not to just give in to that. Giving up is just not in my nature, so I know eventually I will pull through this.... the unfortunate thing is this time I'm not even sure I WANT to. It feels like what is the point of hope when it only leads to more pain? I can handle pain. I can survive it. I always have..... but that doesn't mean I look forward to enduring it. I'd endure it all happily if it ever felt like it lead to something worthwhile. These days, it is just getting so hard to believe it ever will.

    Anyway, this song really touches part of whatever is left of my humanity. It touches the part of me that hopes that maybe the words in it speak some truth. That perhaps it is my darkness that will finally help me to see the light. For me, hope HAS become a memory.... but in time that will change. Just hopefully for once it can actually feel like it is for a reason.

    The Light
    -Disturbed

    Like an unsung melody
    The truth is waiting there for you to find it
    It's not a blight, but a remedy,
    A clear reminder of how it began
    Deep inside your memory
    Turned away as you struggled to find it
    You heard the call as you walked away
    A voice of calm from within the silence
    And for what seemed an eternity
    You wait and hoping it would call out again
    You heard the shadow beckoning
    Then your fears seemed to keep you blinded
    You held your guard as you walked away

    When you think all is forsaken,
    Listen to me now
    You need never feel broken again
    Sometimes darkness can show you the light

    An unforgivable tragedy
    The answer isn't where you think you'd find it
    Prepare yourself for the reckoning
    For when your world seems to crumble again
    Don't be afraid, don't turn away
    You're the one who can redefine it
    Don't let hope become a memory
    Let the shadow permeate your mind and
    Reveal the thoughts that were tucked away
    So that the door can be opened again
    Within your darkest memories
    Lies the answer if you dare to find it
    Don't let hope become a memory

    When you think all is forsaken,
    Listen to me now
    You need never feel broken again
    Sometimes darkness can show you the light

    Sickening, weakening
    Don't let another somber pariah consume your soul
    You need strengthening, toughening
    It takes an inner dark to rekindle the fire burning in you
    Ignite the fire within you

    When you think all is forsaken,
    Listen to me now
    You need never feel broken again
    Sometimes darkness can show you the light

    Don't ignore, listen to me now
    You need never feel broken again
    Sometimes darkness
    Can show you the light

    "Photograph"

    Ed Sheeran

    Loving can hurt
    Loving can hurt sometimes
    But it's the only thing that I know
    When it gets hard
    You know it can get hard sometimes
    It is the only thing that makes us feel alive

    We keep this love in a photograph
    We made these memories for ourselves
    Where our eyes are never closing
    Hearts are never broken
    Times forever frozen still

    So you can keep me
    Inside the pocket
    Of your ripped jeans
    Holdin' me closer
    'Til our eyes meet
    You won't ever be alone
    Wait for me to come home

    Loving can heal
    Loving can mend your soul
    And it's the only thing that I know (know)
    I swear it will get easier
    Remember that with every piece of ya
    And it's the only thing we take with us when we die

    We keep this love in this photograph
    We made these memories for ourselves
    Where our eyes are never closing
    Our hearts were never broken
    Times forever frozen still

    So you can keep me
    Inside the pocket
    Of your ripped jeans
    Holdin' me closer
    'Til our eyes meet
    You won't ever be alone

    And if you hurt me
    That's OK, baby, only words bleed
    Inside these pages you just hold me
    And I won't ever let you go

    Oh you can fit me
    Inside the necklace you got when you were 16
    Next to your heartbeat
    Where I should be
    Keep it deep within your soul

    And if you hurt me
    Well, that's OK, baby, only words bleed
    Inside these pages you just hold me
    And I won't ever let you go

    When I'm away
    I will remember how you kissed me
    Under the lamppost
    Back on 6th street
    Hearing you whisper through the phone,
    "Wait for me to come home."

    “It’s no use going back to yesterday, because I was a different person then.”

    Death makes angels of us all
    And gives us wings
    Where we had shoulders
    Smooth as raven's
    Claws

    No more money, no more fancy dress
    This other kingdom seems by far the best
    Until it's other jaw reveals incest
    And loose obedience to a vegetable law.

    My gift is my song and this one's for you

    And you can tell everybody this is your song

    It may be quite simple but now that it's done

    I hope you don't mind, I hope you don't mind that I put down in words

    How wonderful life is while you're in the world

    “It’s no use going back to yesterday, because I was a different person then.”

    How could I forget this one? A song that touches me deep in the heart.... well, or at least it did when I had one. But, even now, it touches me deep in the cold black void where I'm supposed to have a heart. Such a touching, life changing, wonderful story that, even to this day, would bring a tear to my eye if I still had a soul....

    All right stop, Collaborate and listen
    Ice is back with my brand new invention
    Something grabs a hold of me tightly
    Flow like a harpoon daily and nightly
    Will it ever stop? Yo, I don't know
    Turn off the lights and I'll glow
    To the extreme I rock a mic like a vandal
    Light up a stage and wax a chump like a candle.

    Dance, go rush the speaker that booms
    I'm killing your brain like a poisonous mushroom
    Deadly, when I play a dope melody
    Anything less than the best is a felony
    Love it or leave it, you better gain way
    You better hit bull's eye, the kid don't play

    If there was a problem, yo, I'll solve it
    Check out the hook while my DJ revolves it

    Ice Ice Baby Vanilla, Ice Ice Baby Vanilla
    Ice Ice Baby Vanilla, Ice Ice Baby Vanilla


    LOL!

    When you get caught in the rain with no where to run
    When you're distraught and in pain without anyone
    When you keep crying out to be saved
    But nobody comes and you feel so far away
    That you just can't find your way home
    You can get there alone
    It's okay, what you say is

    I can make it through the rain
    I can stand up once again on my own
    And I know that I'm strong enough to mend
    And every time I feel afraid I hold tighter to my faith
    And I live one more day and I make it through the rain

    And if you keep falling down don't you dare give in
    You will arise safe and sound, so keep pressing on steadfastly
    And you'll find what you need to prevail
    What you say is

    I can make it through the rain

    “It’s no use going back to yesterday, because I was a different person then.”

    What hurts the most - Rascal Flatts

    I can take the rain on the roof of this empty house
    That don’t bother me
    I can take a few tears now and then and just let them out
    I’m not afraid to cry every once in a while
    Even though going on with you gone still upsets me
    There are days every now and again I pretend I’m OK
    But that’s not what gets me

    What hurts the most
    Was being so close
    And having so much to say
    And watching you walk away
    And never knowing
    What could have been
    And not seeing that loving you
    Is what I was tryin’ to do

    It’s hard to deal with the pain of losing you everywhere I go
    But I’m doin’ It
    It’s hard to force that smile when I see our old friends and I’m alone
    Still Harder
    Getting up, getting dressed, livin’ with this regret
    But I know if I could do it over
    I would trade give away all the words that I saved in my heart
    That I left unspoken

    Wow. This song really gets the emotions out of me when I hear it.
