hmm... no way I could pick just one, I've always been a fan of lyrics, and have oft come across some that jsut 'speak to me' on one level or another...no one song can describe my life/mind, i'm too complicated for that
Soo...the first couple that come to mind:
*************************
Chameleons - Second Skin
*************************
One cold damp evening
The world stood still
I watched as i held my breath
A sillhouette i thought i knew
Came through,someone spoke to me
Whispered in my ear
This fantasy's for you
Fantasy's are in this year
My whole life flashed,before my eyes
I thought,what they say is true
I've shed my skin,and my disguise
And cold on the naked eye
Emerged from my cocoon
And a half remebered tune played softly in my head
He said
He turns smiling...and said
I realise a miracle,is due
I dedicate this melody,to you
I realise a miracle,is due
I dedicate this melody,to you
But is this the stuff dreams are made of?
If this is the stuff dreams are made of
No wonder i feel like i'm floating on air
No wonder i feel like i'm floating on air
I realise a miracle,is due
I dedicate this melody,to you
But is this the stuff dreams are made of?
If this is the stuff dreams are made of
No wonder i feel like i'm floating on air
No wonder i feel like i'm floating on air
No wonder i feel like i'm floating on air
Everywhere
Oh, it feels like i'm everywhere
Like when you fail to make the connection,you know vital it is
Oh when something slips through your fingers you know precious it is
And you reach the point when you know
It's only your second skin
It's only your second skin
Someone's banging on my door

Tool - Forty-Six & 2
*************************
My shadow's
Shedding skin and
I've been picking
Scabs again.
I'm down
Digging through
My old muscles
Looking for a clue.
I've been crawling on my belly
Clearing out what could've been.
I've been wallowing in my own confused
And insecure delusions
For a piece to cross me over
Or a word to guide me in.
I wanna feel the changes coming down.
I wanna know what I've been hiding in
My shadow.
Change is coming through my shadow.
My shadow's shedding skin
I've been picking
My scabs again.
I've been crawling on my belly
Clearing out what could've been.
I've been wallowing in my own chaotic
And insecure delusions.
I wanna feel the change consume me,
Feel the outside turning in.
I wanna feel the metamorphosis and
Cleansing I've endured within
My shadow
Change is coming.
Now is my time.
Listen to my muscle memory.
Contemplate what I've been clinging to.
Forty-six and two ahead of me.
I choose to live and to
Grow, take and give and to
Move, learn and love and to
Cry, kill and die and to
Be paranoid and to
Lie, hate and fear and to
Do what it takes to move through.
I choose to live and to
Lie, kill and give and to
Die, learn and love and to
Do what it takes to step through.
See my shadow changing,
Stretching up and over me.
Soften this old armor.
Hoping I can clear the way
By stepping through my shadow,
Coming out the other side.
Step into the shadow.
Forty six and two are just ahead of me.

Nine Inch Nails - Reptile
*************************
she spreads herself wide open to let the insects in
she leaves a trail of honey to show me where she's been
she has the blood of reptile just underneath her skin
seeds from a thousand others drip down from within
oh my beautiful liar
oh my precious whore
my disease my infection
i am so impure oh
devils speak of the way in which she'll manifest
angels bleed from the tainted touch of my caress
need to contaminate to alleviate this loneliness
i now know the depths i reach are limitless
oh my beautiful liar
oh my precious whore
my disease my infection
i am so impure oh
oh
oh my beautiful liar
oh my precious whore
my disease my infection
i am so impure
oh my beautiful liar (no no no no no no no)
oh my precious whore no, oooh, oh,
my disease my infection (no no no no no no no)
i am so impure no, ah no, ah no, ah no
-------------------------------------------------
I'll probably keep thinking of lyrics/songs...and this will turn into a mix-cd
...and, an interesting observation, that I think is somehow more than coincidence, is I don't think I'll come up with any lyrics written by females?
What that says about me is quite simple - I've always related better to the mind of a man.
..........................
and this is a good thread, making me think - and I realise how one-dimensional I've become.
these lyrics remind me of times, most in the past, and then I wonder, where did that go?
methinks it's time i go break myself open, see what I find in there
