songs that utterly and completely describe your life/how you feel
This is mine,
Grew up in a small town, And when the rain would fall down, I'd just stare out my window. Dreaming of what could be, And if I'd end up happy, I would pray. Try not to reach out, But when I tried to speak out, Felt like no-one could hear me. Wanted to belong here, But something felt so wrong here. So I'd pray, I could break away. I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly, I'll do what it takes till I touch the sky, And I'll make a wish, take a chance, Make a change, and break away. Out of the darkness and into the sun, But I won't forget all the ones that I love. I'll take a risk, take a chance, Make a change, and break away. Wanna feel the warm breeze, Sleep under a palm tree, Feel the rush of the ocean, Get onboard a fast train, Travel on a jetplane, Faraway, and break away. I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly, I'll do what it takes till I touch the sky, And I'll make a wish, take a chance, Make a change, and break away. Out of the darkness and into the sun, I won't forget all the ones that I love. I've gotta take a risk, take a chance, Make a change, and break away. Buildings with a 100 floors, Swinging around revolving doors, Maybe I don't know where they'll take me. But I gotta keep moving on moving on, Fly away, break away. I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly, Tho its not easy to tell you goodbye. Gotta take a risk, take a chance, Make a change, and break away. Out of the darkness and into the sun, But I won't forget the place I come from. I've gotta take a risk, take a chance, Make a change, and break away. Break away, break away

lol..i was just lisening to that...there are so many but i lovelovelove "white houses" by vanessa carlton..it so perfectly describes my 19th year
Crashed on the floor when I moved in This bungalow alone with some strange new friends Stay up too late, and I'm too thin We promise each other it's til the end Now we're spinning empty bottles It's the five of us With pretty eyed boys girls die to trust I can't resist the day No, I can't resist the day Jenny screams out and it's no pose 'Cause when she dances she goes and goes Beer through the nose on an inside joke I'm so excited, I haven't spoken And she's so pretty, and she's so sure Maybe I'm more clever than a girl like her The summer's all in bloom The summer is ending soon It's alright and it's nice not to be so alone But I hold on to your secrets in white houses Maybe I'm a little bit over my head I come undone at the things he said And he's so funny in his bright red shirt We were all in love and we all got hurt I sneak into his car's black leather seat The smell of gasoline in the summer heat Boy, we're going way too fast It's all too sweet to last It's alright And I put myself in his hands But I hold on to your secrets in white houses Love, or something ignites in my veins And I pray it never fades in white houses My first time, hard to explain Rush of blood, oh, and a little bit of pain On a cloudy day, it's more common than you think He's my first mistake Maybe you were all faster than me We gave each other up so easily These silly little wounds will never mend I feel so far from where I've been So I go, and I will not be back here again I'm gone as the day is fading on white houses I lie, put my injuries all in the dust In my heart is the five of us In white houses And you, maybe you'll remember me What I gave is yours to keep In white houses [x3]

Billy Joel's "Vienna Waits for You" describes my life right now. I'm only 20 and it wasn't until I heard this song that I realized that I was trying to grow up and do too much too fast and that I should just slow down and take things in stride.
Slow down, you crazy child you're so ambitious for a juvenile But then if you're so smart, tell me Why are you still so afraid? Where's the fire, what's the hurry about? You'd better cool it off before you burn it out You've got so much to do and Only so many hours in a day But you know that when the truth is told.. That you can get what you want or you get old You're gonna kick off before you even Get halfway through When will you realize, Vienna waits for you? Slow down, you're doing fine You can't be everything you want to be Before your time Although it's so romantic on the borderline tonight Tonight,... Too bad but it's the life you lead you're so ahead of yourself that you forgot what you need Though you can see when you're wrong, you know You can't always see when you're right. you're right You've got your passion, you've got your pride but don't you know that only fools are satisfied? Dream on, but don't imagine they'll all come true When will you realize, Vienna waits for you? Slow down, you crazy child and take the phone off the hook and disappear for awhile it's all right, you can afford to lose a day or two When will you realize,..Vienna waits for you? And you know that when the truth is told that you can get what you want or you can just get old You're gonna kick off before you even get half through Why don't you realize,. Vienna waits for you When will you realize, Vienna waits for you? |

Stranger than kindness
Bottled light from hotels Spilling everything Wet hand from the volcano Sobers your skin Stranger than Kindness You caress yourself And grind my soft cold bones below Your map of desire Burned in your flesh Even a fool can come A strange lit stair And find a rope hanging there Stranger than kindness Keys rain like heaven's hair There is no home there is no bread We sit at the gate and scratch The gaunt fruit of passion Dies in the light Stranger than kindness Your sleeping hands journey They loiter Stranger than kindness You hold me so carelessy close Tell me I'm dirty Stranger than kindness |

Someone to hold you too close
Someone to hurt you too deep Someone to sit in your chair And ruin your sleep And make you aware of being alive Someone to need you too much Someone to know you too well Someone to pull you up short And put you through hell And give you support for being alive-being alive Make me alive, make me confused Mock me with praise, let me be used Vary my days, but alone is alone, not alive! Somebody hold me too close Somebody force me to care Somebody make me come through I’ll always be there As frightened as you of being alive, Being alive, being alive! Someone you have to let in Someone whose feelings you spare Someone who, like it or not Will want you to share a little, a lot of being alive Make me alive, make me confused Mock me with praise, let me be used Vary my days, but alone is alone, not alive! Somebody crowd me with love Somebody force me to care Somebody make me come through I’ll always be there As frightened as you to help us survive, Being alive, being alive, being alive, being alive BEING ALIVE - Barbra Streisand |

(It starts with)
One thing / I don’t know why It doesn’t even matter how hard you try Keep that in mind / I designed this rhyme To explain in due time All I know time is a valuable thing Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings Watch it count down to the end of the day The clock ticks life away It’s so unreal Didn’t look out below Watch the time go right out the window Trying to hold on / but didn’t even know Wasted it all just to Watch you go I kept everything inside and even though I tried / it all fell apart What it meant to me / will eventually / be a memory / of a time when I tried so hard And got so far But in the end It doesn't even matter I had to fall To lose it all But in the end It doesn't even matter One thing / I don’t know why It doesn’t even matter how hard you try Keep that in mind / I designed this rhyme To remind myself how I tried so hard In spite of the way you were mocking me Acting like I was part of your property Remembering all the times you fought with me I’m surprised it got so (far) Things aren’t the way they were before You wouldn’t even recognize me anymore Not that you knew me back then But it all comes back to me In the end You kept everything inside and even though I tried / it all fell apart What it meant to me / will eventually / be a memory / of a time when I I tried so hard And got so far But in the end It doesn’t even matter I had to fall To lose it all But in the end It doesn’t even matter I've put my trust in you Pushed as far as I can go For all this There’s only one thing you should know I've put my trust in you Pushed as far as I can go For all this There’s only one thing you should know I tried so hard And got so far But in the end It doesn’t even matter I had to fall To lose it all But in the end It doesn’t even matter LINKIN PARK - IN THE END |

Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
You fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way. Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town Waiting for someone or something to show you the way. Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain. You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today. And then one day you find ten years have got behind you. No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun. So you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking Racing around to come up behind you again. The sun is the same in a relative way but you're older, Shorter of breath and one day closer to death. Every year is getting shorter never seem to find the time. Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way The time is gone, the song is over, Thought I'd something more to say.

Avion- Seven Days Without You
Sitting here counting the hours Waiting for the sun to kiss the sea Paralyzed by the fragrance of the flowers They remind me of you and me This one love in a lifetime Our two hearts of a kind These three reasons you'll be mine For there's five or six ways through Seven days without you Making plans just to stop the aching Chasing thoughts from a million miles away Hypnotized as another dawn is breaking I rehearse the words I want to say This one love in a lifetime Our two hearts of a kind These three reasons you'll be mine For when five and six are through It's seven days without you And I will find a way until you're home To let the giant sleep this fire we know is --- I miss nwlinkvxd. |

What a difference a day made, twenty-four little hours,
Brought the sun and the flowers, where there used to be rain, My yesterdays were blue dear, today I'm part of you dear, My lonely nights are through dear, since you said you were mine, What a difference a day made, there's a rainbow before me, Skies above can't restore me, since that moment of bliss, that lovely kiss, It's heaven when you find romance on your menu, What a difference a day made, and the difference is you Dinah Washinton or Grand pianos crash together When my boy walks down the street There are whole new kinds of weather When he walks with his new beat Everyone sings hallelujah when my boy walks down the street Life just kind of dances through ya from your smile down to your feet Amazing he’s a whole new form of life blue eyes blazing and he's going to be my wife. The world does the hula-hula when my boy walks down the street Everyone thinks he's Petula so big and yet so petite Butterflies turn into people when my boy walks down the street Maybe he should be illegal He just makes life too complete Oh, shadows of echoes of memories Oh, things that he brings that he found in the sea Oh, shadows of echoes of memories of songs Oh, how could he know that it won't be long Grand pianos crash together when my boy walks down the street There are whole new kinds of weather when he walks with his new beat Everyone sings hallelujah when my boy walks down the street Life just kind of dances through ya from your smile down to your feet Magnetic Fields or They hung a sign up in our town ’if you live it up, you won’t Live it down’ So, she left monte rio, son Just like a bullet leaves a gun With charcoal eyes and monroe hips She went and took that california trip Well, the moon was gold, her Hair like wind She said don’t look back just Come on jim (chorus) Oh you got to Hold on, hold on You got to hold on Take my hand, I’m standing right here You gotta hold on Well, he gave her a dimestore watch And a ring made from a spoon Everyone is looking for someone to blame But you share my bed, you share my name Well, go ahead and call the cops You don’t meet nice girls in coffee shops She said baby, I still love you Sometimes there’s nothin left to do Oh you got to Hold on, hold on You got to hold on Take my hand, I’m standing right here, you got to Just hold on. Well, God bless your crooked little heart st. louis got the best of me I miss your broken-china voice How I wish you were still here with me Well, you build it up, you wreck it down You burn your mansion to the ground When there’s nothing left to keep you here, when You’re falling behind in this Big blue world Oh you go to Hold on, hold on You got to hold on Take my hand, I’m standing right here You got to hold on Down by the riverside motel, It’s 10 below and falling By a 99 cent store she closed her eyes And started swaying But it’s so hard to dance that way When it’s cold and there’s no music Well your old hometown is so far away But, inside your head there’s a record That’s playing, a song called Hold on, hold on You really got to hold on Take my hand, I’m standing right here And just hold on.

"The Way" by Fastball (I feel like I have ALWAYS related to this song on so many levels)
They made up their minds And they started packing They left before the sun came up that day An exit to eternal summer slacking But where were they going without ever Knowing the way? They drank up the wine And they got to talking They now had more important things to say When the car broke down they started walking Where were they going without ever Knowing the way? Anyone can see the road that they walk on Is paved with gold It's always summer They'll never get cold They'll never get hungry They'll never get old and grey You can see the shadows wandering off somewhere They won't make it home But they don't really care They wanted the highway They're happier there today Their children woke up And they couldn't find them They left before the sun came up that day They just drove off and left it all behind 'em But where were they going without ever Knowing the way?

Bitch
Meredith Brooks I hate the world today You're so good to me, I know but I can't change Tried to tell you but you look at me like maybe I'm an angel Underneath, innocent and sweet Yesterday I cried You must have been relieved to see the softer side I can understand how you'd be so confused I don't envy you I'm a little bit of everything, all rolled into one I'm a bitch, I'm a lover I'm a child, I'm a mother I'm a sinner, I'm a saint I do not feel ashamed I'm your health, I'm your dream I'm nothing in between You know you wouldn't want it any other way So take me as I am This may mean you'll have to be a stronger man Rest assured that when I start to make you nervous And I'm going to extremes Tomorrow I will change and today won't mean a thing I'm a bitch, I'm a lover I'm a child, I'm a mother I'm a sinner, I'm a saint I do not feel ashamed I'm your health, I'm your dream I'm nothing in between You know you wouldn't want it any other way Just when you think you've got me figured out The season's already changing I think it's cool you do what you do And don't try to save me I'm a bitch, I'm a lover .... I'm a bitch, I'm a tease I'm a goddess on my knees When you hurt, when you suffer I'm your angel undercover I've been numbed, I'm revived Can't say I'm not alive You know I wouldn't want it any other way

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

For you...
In my worst moments of these last few months, after a hurtful breakup...
--------------------------------------- Thumbs out on a desert road I am told Leads to nowhere Any shade is as good as the next If your shadow doesn't go there Week seven: Did you really asume I'd find some solace from the letter in your room? Next life, could you kindly refain From throwing yourself at the mercy of a train? Silence all, nobody breathe. How in the world could you just leave? You promised you would Silence that evil with good Hear me out, I have the floor I'll give you my tears, I'll listen more You promised you would Overcome evil with good Maybe this world is a barren place for a soul Prone to get lost But heaven still hounds from the smallest sounds To the cries of the storm-tossed Week nine: I am writing in the sand Any little clue that could help me understand Every whispered secret, every muffled sigh Every half-truth that was added to a lie Silence all, nobody move I've got to know now what you hoped to prove You promised you would Silence that evil with good Shame feeds guilt, guilt needs release You took it to God You made your peace And swore that you would Overcome evil with good Every old demon playing back the crime If they needed blood, I'd have gladly given mine A Child of the Kingdom; still an invalid Forgive her, please Father She don't know what she did *(in this case..he)* Silence all, now go to sleep The water's free, the well is deep How can we return That which we never could earn? God, I long to see her face We haven't a hope Beyond Your grace I know that You will Overcome evil For good The Newsboys - Elle G |
