strongenough Posted July 14, 2005 Share Posted July 14, 2005 superchick beauty from pain The lights go out all around me One last candle to keep out the night And then the darkness surrounds me I know I’m alive But I feel like I died And all that’s left is to accept that it’s over My dreams ran like sand through the fists that I made I try to keep warm but I just grow colder I feel like I’m slipping away After all this has passed I still will remain After I’ve cried my last There’ll be beauty from pain Though it won’t be today Someday I’ll hope again And there’ll be beauty from pain You will bring beauty from my pain My whole world is the pain inside me The best I can do is just get through the day When life before is only a memory I wonder why God lets me walk through this place And though I can’t understand why this happened I know that I will when I look back someday And see how You’ve brought beauty from ashes And made me as gold purified through these flames After all this has passed I still will remain After I’ve cried my last There’ll be beauty from pain Though it won’t be today Someday I’ll hope again And there’ll be beauty from pain You will bring beauty from my pain Here I am at the end of me Trying to hold to what I can’t see I forgot how to hope This night’s been so long I cling to your promise there will be a dawn After all this has passed I still will remain After I’ve cried my last There’ll be beauty from pain Though it won’t be today Someday I’ll hope again And there’ll be beauty from pain You will bring beauty from my pain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elfstar Posted July 15, 2005 Share Posted July 15, 2005 (edited) Bth Hart has several songs that can be healing. Leave the Light On has been already posted. Here are the lyrics to Skin. Skin by Beth Hart She combs her hair and cleans her face Closes the door and kneels to pray It don't matter that she's alone beast or dragons she's going home If I lay me down bow my head unto the ground Would you heal my skin and these blisters within My skin She found today so hard to say I sweat the sheets too tired to play and it don't matter cause I'm still alive Beast or dragons won't make me hide another way I just cant find the words to say Cold where I lay, it's cold where I lay bones cracked to clay a killer's in the way, hot is my shame Fire pulls my veins for never is my name Forever in my shame holy come heal me solely, delivery delivery --- And here's Robbie Williams's wonderful song about friendship. Eternity by Robbie Williams Close your eyes so you don't feel them They don't need to see you cry I can't promise I will heal you But if you want to I will try To sing this summer serenade The past is done We've been betrayed, it's true Some might say the truth will out But I believe without a doubt in you You were there for summer dreaming And you gave me what I need And I hope you find your freedom For eternity, for eternity Yesterday when you were walking You talked about your mom and dad What they did that made you happy What they did that made you sad We sat and watched the sun go down Then picked a star Before we lost the moon Youth is wasted on the young Before you know it's come and gone Too soon You were there for summer dreaming And you gave me what I need And I hope you find your freedom For eternity, for eternity For eternity To sing this summer serenade The past is done We've been betrayed, it's true Youth is wasted on the young Before you know it's come and gone Too soon You were there for summer dreaming And you are a friend indeed And I hope you find your freedom For eternity You were there for summer dreaming And you are a friend indeed And I hope you find your freedom Eventually For eternity For eternity --- And another comforting song from Robbie. Angels by Robbie Williams I sit and wait Does an angel contemplate my fate And do they know The places where we go When we’re grey and old ’cos I have been told That salvation lets their wings unfold So when I’m lying in my bed Thoughts running through my head And I feel the love is dead I’m loving angels instead And through it all she offers me protection A lot of love and affection Whether I’m right or wrong And down the waterfall Wherever it may take me I know that life won’t break me When I come to call she won’t forsake me I’m loving angels instead When I’m feeling weak And my pain walks down a one way street I look above And I know I’ll always be blessed with love And as the feeling grows She breathes flesh to my bones And when love is dead I’m loving angels instead And through it all she offers me protection A lot of love and affection Whether I’m right or wrong And down the waterfall Wherever it may take me I know that life won’t break me When I come to call she won’t forsake me I’m loving angels instead Edited July 15, 2005 by Elfstar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reallydon'tknow Posted July 19, 2005 Share Posted July 19, 2005 The first 2 songs are I guess more relating to if you have someone to take care of you like a boyfriend, husband, girlfriend, etc and how it shows that you really are worth it. The last one isn't very helpful, but I guess healing involves the ups and downs and this one is about the downs, when you are feeling used and don't care about yourself. COUNT ON ME -- DEFAULT I know that life ain't always good to you. I've seen exactly what it’s put you through Thrown you around and turned you upside down and so you You got to thinking there was no way out You started sinking and it pulled you down It may be tough you've to get back up Because you know that life ain't over yet I'm here for you so don't forget You can count on me Cause’ I will carry you till you carry on Anytime you need someone Somebody strong to lean on Well you can count on me To hold you till the healing is done And every time you fall apart Well you can hide here in my arms And you can count on me To hold you till that feeling is gone I wonder why nobody's waiting on you I'd like to be the one to pull you through your darkest times I'd love to be the light that finds you I see a silver lining on your cloud I'll pick you up whenever you fall down Just take my hand and I will help you stand Because you know that life ain't over yet I'm here for you so don't forget You can count on me Cause’ I will carry you till you carry on Anytime you need someone Somebody strong to lean on Well you can count on me to hold you till the healing is done And every time you fall apart you can hide here in my arms And you can count on me to hold you till that feeling is Gone so you can live today Seems so long to yesterday Keep on counting on me to carry you till you carry on Carry on You know that life ain’t over yet I’m here for you so don’t forget You can count on me cause I will carry you till you carry on Anytime you need someone Somebody strong to lean on Well you can count on me to hold you till that healing is done And every time you fall apart You can hide here in my arms And you can count on me to hold you till that feeling is gone Remember life ain’t over yet I’m here for you so don’t forget That you can count on me to hold you till that feeling is gone Remember life ain’t over yet I’m here for you so don’t forget That you can count on me to hold you till that feeling is gone I AM FOR YOU -- WAKING ASHLAND Something's very wrong here Your heart has frozen over and something's very strange here You've lost all desire The comfort we create to prove We're something But we're starving Screaming in the night cause you want answers From the one And there is hope again Don't give up, your not thinking Don't give up, just keep seeking And I, I am for you And I, I will love you And I, I am for you And I, I will save you Come and take my face or forever I Will walk alone And all the same mistakes Cause I know you, I deny you Days go by and choices still remain forever Right and wrong is black and white The illusions of this world And there is hope again I send myself to you Yes always and always I send my love to you You found today, found today, You found today, saw today THE HOLLOW -- A PERFECT CIRCLE run, desire, run a sexual being run him like a blade to and through the heart, no conscience one motive: cater to the hollow screaming feed me here fill me up again temporarily pacify this hunger that's so cruel libido throw dominoes of indiscretions down falling all around in cycles, in circles constantly consuming, conquering, devour.

ResilientOne90 Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 Here's a few songs that I find healing..they may *T* Scars By Papa Roach I tear my heart open, I sew myself shut My weakness is that I care too much And my scars remind me that the past is real I tear my heart open just to feel Drunk and I'm feeling down And I just wanna be alone I'm pissed cause you came around Why don't you just go home Cause you channel all your pain And I can't help you fix yourself You're making me insane All I can say is [Chorus:] I tear my heart open, I sew myself shut My weakness is that I care too much And our scars remind us that the past is real I tear my heart open just to feel I tried to help you once Against my own advice I saw you going down But you never realized That you're drowning in the water So I offered you my hand Compassions in my nature Tonight is our last stand [Chorus] I'm drunk and I'm feeling down And I just wanna be alone You shouldn't ever came around Why don't you just go home? Cause you're drowning in the water And I tried to grab your hand And I left my heart open But you didn't understand But you didn't understand Go fix yourself I can't help you fix yourself But at least I can say I tried I'm sorry but I gotta move on with my own life I can't help you fix yourself But at least I can say I tried I'm sorry but I gotta move on with my own life [Chorus x2] Take Me By Papa Roach Take me and let me in Don't break me and shut me out [Chorus:] So take me and let me in Don't break me and shut me out I lit my pain on fire And I watched it all burn down Now I'm dancing in the ashes And theres no one else around Cause I wanna be apart of something This is just a story of a broken soul [Hook:] As days go by, my heart grows cold I can't seem to let this all pass me by [Chorus x2] I'm burning in the heavens And I'm drowning in a hell My soul is in a coma And none of my friends can tell That I'm reaching out and getting nothing This is just a story of a broken soul [Hook] [Chorus x2] Don't shut me out Does anyone around me feel the same Put your fist up and vent your pain Does anyone around me feel the same Put your fist up and vent your pain Does anyone around me feel the same Put your fist up and vent your pain Does anyone around me feel the same Put your fist up and vent your pain [Hook] [Chorus x2] [Hook] Take Me Don't Break Me Crucify By Tori Amos Every finger in the room is pointing at me I wanna spit in their faces Then I get afraid of what that could bring I got a bowling ball in my stomach I got a desert in my mouth Figures that my courage would choose to sell our now I've been looking for a savior in these dirty streets looking for a savior beneath these dirty sheets I've been raising up my hands Drive another nail in Just what God needs One more victim [Chorus:] Why do we Crucify ourselves Every day I crucify myself Nothing I do is good enough for you Crucify myself Every day And my heart is sick of being in chains Got a kick for a dog Beggin' for Love I gotta have my suffering So that I can have my cross I know a cat named Easter He says will you ever learn You're just an empty cage girl If you kill the bird I've been looking for a savior in these dirty streets looking for a savior beneath these dirty sheets I've been raising up my hands Drive another nail in Got enough guilt to start my own religion Please be Save me I cry [Chorus:] Why do we Crucify ourselves Every day I crucify myself Nothing I do is good enough for you Crucify myself Every day And my heart is sick of being in chains Sleeps With Butterflies By Tori Amos Airplanes Take you away again Are you flying Above where we live Then I look up a glare in my eyes Are you having regrets about last night I'm not but I like rivers that rush in So then I dove in Is there trouble ahead For you the acrobat I won't push you unless you have a net You say the word You know I will find you Or if you need some time I don't mind I don't hold on To the tail of your kite I'm not like the girls that you've known But I believe I'm worth coming home to Kiss away night This girl only sleeps with butterflies With butterflies So go on and fly then boy Balloons Look good from on the ground I fear with pins and needles around We may fall then stumble Upon a carousel It could take us anywhere I'm not like the girls that you've known But I believe I'm worth coming home to Kiss away night This girl only sleeps with butterflies With butterflies With butterflies So go on and fly boy Numb By linkin Park I'm tired of being what you want me to be Feeling so faithless lost under the surface Don't know what you're expecting of me Put under the pressure of walking in your shoes (Caught in the undertow just caught in the undertow) Every step that I take is another mistake to you (Caught in the undertow just caught in the undertow) [Chorus] I've become so numb I can't feel you there I've become so tired so much more aware I'm becoming this all I want to do Is be more like me and be less like you Can't you see that you're smothering me Holding too tightly afraid to lose control Cause everything that you thought I would be Has fallen apart right in front of you (Caught in the undertow just caught in the undertow) Every step that I take is another mistake to you (Caught in the undertow just caught in the undertow) And every second I waste is more than I can take [Chorus] I've become so numb I can't feel you there I've become so tired so much more aware I'm becoming this all I want to do Is be more like me and be less like you And I know I may end up failing too But I know You were just like me with someone disappointed in you [Chorus] I've become so numb I can't feel you there I've become so tired so much more aware I'm becoming this all I want to do Is be more like me and be less like you [Chorus] I've become so numb I can't feel you there I'm tired of being what you want me to be I've become so numb I can't feel you there I'm tired of being what you want me to be Hero By Superchick Verse: No one sits with him, he doesn't fit in But we feel like we do when we make fun of him Cause you want to belong do you go along? Cause his pain is the price paid for you to belong It's not like we hate him or want him to die But maybe he goes home and thinks suicide Or he comes back to school with a gun at his side And a kindness from you might have saved his life Tag: Heroes are made when you make a choice Chorus: You could be a hero Heroes do what's right You could be a hero You might save a life You could be a hero, You could join the fight For what's right for what's right for what's right Verse: No one talks to her, she feels so alone She's in too much pain to survive on her own The hurt she can't handle overflows to a knife She writes on her arm, wants to give up her life Each day she goes on is a day that she is brave, Fighting the lie that giving up is the way, Each moment of courage her own life she saves When she throws the pills out a hero is made Tag Chorus Verse: No one talks to him about how he lives He thinks that the choices he makes are just his Doesn't know he's a leader with the way he behaves And others will follow the choices he's made He lives on the edge, he's old enough to decide His brother who wants to be him is just nine He can do what he wants because it's his right The choices he makes change a nine year old's life Chorus x2 Slipping Away By Sum 41 I'm slipping away In every way I can't stay awake (and I don't know why) I'm slipping away (and I don't know why) I'm trying to make it through each day I'm falling apart now in every way I'm finding it harder to get by There's a hole in my heart And I don't know why Now I've come to realize I'm slipping away and here are a few christian songs that are healing: (There's Gotta Be) More To Life By Stacie Orrico I've got it all, but I feel so deprived I go up, I come down and I'm emptier inside Tell me what is this thing that I feel like I'm missing And why can't I let it go [Chorus] There's gotta be more to life... Than chasing down every temporary high to satisfy me Cause the more that I'm... Tripping out thinking there must be more to life Well it's life, but I'm sure... there's gotta be more Than wanting more I've got the time and I'm wasting it slowly Here in this moment I'm half way out the door Onto the next thing, I'm searching for something that's missing [repeat chorus] i'm wanting more I'm always waiting on something other than this Why am I feelin' like there's something I missed..... [repeat chorus x2] Blessed Be Your Name By Tree63 Blessed be Your name in the land that is plentiful Where Your streams of abundance flow Blessed be Your name And blessed be Your name when I?m found in the Desert place Though I walk through the wilderness Blessed be your name Every blessing You pour out I?ll turn back To praise And when the darkness closes in Lord Still I will say Blessed be the name of the Lord Blessed be Your name Blessed be the name of the Lord Blessed be Your glorious name Blessed be Your name when the sun?s shining Down on me When the world?s ?all as it should be? Blessed be Your name And blessed be Your name on the road marked With suffering Though there?s pain in the offering Blessed be Your name You give and take away You give and take away My heart will choose to say Lord, blessed be Your name Here I am to Worship by Sonicflood Light of the world, You stepped down into darkness, Opened my eyes, Let me see. Beauty that made this heart adore You; Hope of a life spent with You. And here I am to worship, Here I am to bow down, Here I am to say that You're my God; You're altogether lovely, Altogether worthy, Altogether wonderful to me. King of all days, Oh, so highly exalted, Glorious in heaven above; Humbly you came To the earth you created All for love's sake became poor. And here I am to worship, Here I am to bow down, Here I am to say that You're my God; You're altogether lovely, Altogether worthy, Altogether wonderful to me. I'll never know how much it cost To see my sin upon that Cross, I'll never know how much it cost To see my sin upon that Cross, And I'll never know how much it cost To see my sin upon that Cross, No, I'll never know how much it cost. Here I am to worship, Here I am to bow down, Here I am to say that You're my God; You're altogether lovely, Altogether worthy, Altogether wonderful to me. And here I am to worship, Here I am to bow down, Here I am to say that You're my God; You're altogether lovely; Altogether worthy, Altogether wonderful, Wonderful, wonderful, Yes, you are god. I'll never know how much it cost To see my sin upon that Cross, I'll never know how much it cost To see my sin upon that Cross. Well that's it!!

Kaitlyn Posted August 14, 2005 Share Posted August 14, 2005 I'm sure many have heard this song "Heaven" by DJ Sammy. Here's the 9/11 version (may *T*) This song always makes me cry, but it's healing tears. I could post the lyrics, but the child's voice is what really speaks to my heart.

Gabriel Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 This my current favorite song: ADVANCED WIND; lyrics by Michiko Naruke and performed by Kahori Asou A change in time I finally made up my mind I raise my hand from beneath the shifting sand And embrace the winds of change Suddenly, everything is up to me The pages turn, flashing full of memories I can see all too clear The time has come to face my fear And there's a fire burning in my heart Just shine when all is torn apart And I will make it through this desert storm Safe and warm My shield is strong I'll take my chances here and now Bring on the fight I'll find a way to win somehow No, tomorrow's no regret I'll risk it all for this brand new day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happylunagal Posted September 24, 2005 Share Posted September 24, 2005 One of my favorite (folk) singers is Dar Williams...Here are 2 of her best songs. The 1st one is about her experiences in therapy. It is called "What Do You Hear In These Sounds": "I don't go to therapy to find out if I'm a freak, I go and I find the one and only answer every week. And it's just me and all the memories to follow Down any course that fits within a fifty minute hour, And we fathom all the mysteries, explicit and inherent, When I hit a rut, she says to try the other parent, And she's so kind, I think she wants to tell me something, But she knows that it's much better if I get it for myself, so she says, Ooooooooooooh, aaaaaaaaaaah, What do you hear in these sounds? And oooooooooooh, aaaaaaaaaah, What do you hear in these sounds? I say I hear a doubt, with the voice of true believing, And the promises to stay, and the footsteps that are leaving, And she says oh, I say "what?" She says "Exactly", I say, "What, you think I'm angry, Does that mean you think I'm angry?" She says, "Look, you come here every week with jigsaw pieces of your past, It's all on little soundbytes, and voices out of photographs, And that's all yours, that's the guide, that's the map, So tell me, where does the arrow point to, who invented roses and Oooooooooooooh, aaaaaaaaaaah What do you hear in these sounds? Oooooooooooooh, aaaaaaaaaaah What do you hear in these sounds? And when I talk about therapy, I know what people think, That it only makes you selfish and in love with your shrink, But oh how I loved everybody else, When I finally got to talk so much about myself, And I wake up, and I ask myself what state I'm in, And I say well I'm lucky 'cause I am like East Berlin, I had this wall, and what I knew of the free world Was that I could see their fireworks, and I could hear their radio, And I thought that if we met, I would only start confessing, And they'd know that I was scared, they would know that I was guessing, But the wall came down, and there they stood before me, With their stumbling and their mumbling and their calling out, just like me, And Ooooooooooh, aaaaaaaaaaaaaaah The stories that nobody hears, And I collect these sounds in my ears, and Ooooooooooh, aaaaaaaaaaaaaaah That's what I hear in these sounds, And Ooooooooooh, aaaaaaaaaaaaaaah That's what I hear in these, that's what I hear in these sounds." The 2nd song that I love by Dar Williams is a very hopeful one called, "Better Things": "Here's wishing you the bluest sky And hoping something better comes tomorrow Hoping all the verses rhyme And the very best of choruses to Follow all the doubt and sadness I know that better things are on the way. Here's hoping all the days ahead Won't be as bitter as the ones behind you Be an optimist instead, And somehow happiness will find you. Forget what happened yesterday, I know that better things are on their way. It's really good to see you rocking out And having fun, Living like you just begun. Accept your life and what it brings. I hope tomorrow you find better things. I know tomorrow you'll find better things. Here's wishing you the bluest sky And hoping something better comes tomorrow Hoping all the verses rhyme, And the very best of choruses to Follow all the drudge and sadness I know that better things are on their way. I know you've got a lot of good things happening up ahead. The past is gone, it's all been said. So here's to what the future brings, I know tomorrow you'll find better things. I know tomorrow you'll find better things. I hope you enjoy these lyrics! Have a great day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrjones Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 Hmmm, a mixed bag of favourite "meaningful songs" here: Sunny Came Home - Shawn Colvin Sunny came home to her favorite room Sunny sat down in the kitchen She opened a book and a box of tools Sunny came home with a mission She says days go by I'm hypnotized I'm walking on a wire I close my eyes and fly out of my mind Into the fire Sunny came home with a list of names She didn't believe in transcendence It's time for a few small repairs she said Sunny came home with a vengeance She says days go by I don't know why I'm walking on a wire I close my eyes and fly out of my mind Into the fire Get the kids and bring a sweater Dry is good and wind is better Count the years, you always knew it Strike a match, go on and do it Days go by I'm hypnotized I'm walking on a wire I close my eyes and fly out of my mind Into the fire Light the sky and hold on tight The world is burning down She's out there on her own and she's alright Sunny came home Sunny came home... I was entranced by the song the first time I heard it. It spoke to me of someone taking control of their life, after a long time of waiting and building up strength. ***END OF T*** Standing Outside The Fire - Garth Brooks We call them cool Those hearts that have no scars to show The ones that never do let go And risk the tables being turned We call them fools Who have to dance within the flame Who chance the sorrow and the shame That always comes with getting burned But you've got to be tough when consumed by desire 'Cause it's not enough just to stand outside the fire We call them strong Those who can face this world alone Who seem to get by on their own Those who will never take the fall We call them weak Who are unable to resist The slightest chance love might exist And for that forsake it all They're so hell-bent on giving ,walking a wire Convinced it's not living if you stand outside the fire Standing outside the fire Standing outside the fire Life is not tried, it is merely survived If you're standing outside the fire There's this love that is burning Deep in my soul Constantly yearning to get out of control Wanting to fly higher and higher I can't abide Standing outside the fire Standing outside the fire Standing outside the fire Life is not tried, it is merely survived If you're standing outside the fire Standing outside the fire Standing outside the fire Life is not tried, it is merely survived If you're standing outside the fire *** Garth's song made me cry when I first heard it and saw the video that accompanied it. It speaks to me about the indomitable nature of the human spirit. It is a song that speaks of the courage required to live and the rewards that only living can offer. *** "Solsbury Hill" - Peter Gabriel Climbing up on Solsbury Hill I could see the city light Wind was blowing, time stood still Eagle flew out of the night He was something to observe Came in close, I heard a voice Standing stretching every nerve Had to listen had no choice I did not believe the information (I) just had to trust imagination My heart going boom boom boom "Son," he said "Grab your things, I've come to take you home." To keep in silence I resigned My friends would think I was a nut Turning water into wine Open doors would soon be shut So I went from day to day Tho' my life was in a rut "Till I thought of what I'd say Which connection I should cut I was feeling part of the scenery I walked right out of the machinery My heart going boom boom boom "Hey" he said "Grab your things I've come to take you home." (Back home.) When illusion spin her net I'm never where I want to be And liberty she pirouette When I think that I am free Watched by empty silhouettes Who close their eyes but still can see No one taught them etiquette I will show another me Today I don't need a replacement I'll tell them what the smile on my face meant My heart going boom boom boom "Hey" I said "You can keep my things, they've come to take me home." For anyone that doesn't know: Peter Gabriel was the first lead singer with the group Genesis. After the group began to find success Peter, who was quite shy, felt increasingly isolated in his role as "the star". Also, the gruelling band schedule was wreaking havoc with his private life. The song explains his leaving the group. To me it talks of the serenity that can be found when a choice is made. A choice to follow the path that is right for you, no matter how absurd, difficult, or seemingly unpopular that might be. "Rearviewmirror" - Pearl Jam i took a drive today time to emancipate i guess it was the beatings made me wise but i'm not about to give thanks, or apologize i couldn't breathe, holdin' me down hand on my face, pushed to the ground enmity gauged, united by fear forced to endure what i could not forgive... i seem to look away wounds in the mirror waved it wasn't my surface most defiled head at your feet, fool to your crown fist on my plate, swallowed it down enmity gauged, united by fear tried to endure what i could not forgive saw things saw things saw things saw things clearer clearer once you, were in my... rearview mirror... i gather speed from you fucking with me once and for all i'm far away i hardly believe, finally the shades...are raised... saw things so much clearer once you, once you... rearviewmirror... saw things so much clearer once you, once you... rearviewmirror... ***END of T*** That song may well be a very difficult one for survivors to listen to, but when I first bought the album and sat down to listen to it, that song burst out of the speakers and threw itself headlong into my mind. It sticks a huge two fingers up to anyone or anything that has ever tried to grind someone down and careers off into a bright and hopeful, if somewhat embittered sunset.

Kaitlyn Posted October 2, 2005 Share Posted October 2, 2005 "Let Them Be Little" by lonestar this song is beautiful I can remember when you fit in the palm of my hand Felt so good in it, no bigger than a minute How it amazes me, you're changing with every blink Faster than a flower blooms they grow up all too soon So let them be little 'cause they're only that way for a while Give them hope, give them praise, give them love every day Let them cry, let them giggle, let them sleep in the middle Oh just let them be little I've never felt so much in one little tender touch I live for those kisses, prayers and your wishes Now that you're teaching me things only a child can see Every night while we're on our knees all I ask is please Let them be little 'cause they're only that way for a while Give them hope, give them praise, give them love every day Let them cry, let them giggle, let them sleep in the middle Oh just let them be little So innocent, a precious soul, you turn around It's time to let them go So let them be little 'cause they're only that way for a while Give them hope, give them praise, give them love every day Let them cry, let them giggle, let them sleep in the middle Oh just let them be little Let them be little Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moving Toward Balance Posted October 2, 2005 Share Posted October 2, 2005 All these songs trigger me...but I'm losing the harshness of the triggers every time I listen to them. Three songs by Duncan Sheik - Start Again - (daylight CD) Peace has lost its meaning now we've hit the ceiling all is said and all is done here goes start again You're better than you think so something I hold onto I'm better too, holding on to you start again So meet me and we'll drive this car away we can leave right now what do you say we'll head out for the wide and open spaces if we can clear the way Save yourself don't save me save the one you may be let it be the best that it can be start again So meet me and we'll drive this car away we can leave right now what do you say we'll head out for the wide and open spaces if we can clear the way - She Runs Away - (self titled CD) You may not see the end of it But luckily she comes around It isn't what she talks about It's just the way she is (...and she says) Ooh darlin' don't you know The darkness comes and the darkness goes Ooh babe why don't you let it go? Happiness ain't never how you think it should be so I mystified the simple life I covered up with consciousness I saw myself and broke it down 'Til nothing more was left She saw the symptoms right away And spoke to me in poetry "Sometimes the more you wonder why The worse it seems to get" she runs away She runs away... And then you know comes a time You need her more than anything You may believe yours are the wounds That only she can heal Then everything will turn around And she becomes so serious What she chose to offer you Was all that you could have - Rubbed Out - (humming CD) She justified and then She may well justify forever She figures it's the only way To keep herself together Something about hotel rooms and horses And losing all here friends And hearing all their vocies She rubs it out, she covers it over She's stronger by far, than a war-torn soldier She rubs it ou... She makes a little money And sneds it to her mother She's living with some guy Who's fighting off the sharks She hopes some day She'll get some kind of letter Well you don't hold much If you haven't got the heart She rubs it out, she covers it over She's harder by far, than a war-torn solider She rubs it out Some time ago, I thought that she was trying to move on I thought wrong She rubs it out, she covers it over She's harder by far, than a war-torn soldier I'd die for her gladly Lord knows I've told her But she rubs it out I justified it then I may justify...forever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lotusgirl24 Posted October 22, 2005 Share Posted October 22, 2005 A friend told me about this song, and though in some parts of the song it seems like it's about a relationship, but i think it's about how you interpert it, and i think well.. it really dosen't matter the situation, so long as it's the same outcome(riseing out of the ashes) Embrace - "Ashes" I've waited and given the chance again I'd do it all the same but either way I'm always out played up on your down days I left in the right way to start again Now watch me rise up and leave all the ashes you made out of me when you said that we were wrong, life goes on just look at how long I've agreed Now watch me rise up and leave all the ashes you made out of me when you said that we were wrong, life goes on just look at how long I've agreed Out of place like a gem on a coal face lost on the right way, it's all the same Cause I've had my hopes raised, right in the wrong ways scared when you felt safe to start again Now watch me rise up and leave all the ashes you made out of me when you said that we were wrong, life goes on just look at how long I've agreed Now watch me rise up and leave all the ashes you made out of me when you said that we were wrong, life goes on you blew me away... away... away... away repeat I sink like a stone, I lost my control I sink like a stone, I lost my control I sink like a stone, I lost my control Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaitlyn Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 I first heard this song on the radio a few nights ago as I was driving home from work in the evening... And I just starting crying... but it feels healing, cleansing... "Jesus, take the wheel" Carrie Underwood She was driving last Friday on her way to Cincinnati On a snow white Christmas Eve Going home to see her Mama and her Daddy with the baby in the backseat Fifty miles to go and she was running low on faith and gasoline It would been a long hard year She had a lot on her mind and she didn't pay attention She was going way to fast Before she knew it she was spinning on a thin black sheet of glass She saw both their lives flash before her eyes She didn't even have time to cry She was sooo scared She threw her hands up in the air Jesus take the wheel Take it from my hands Cause I can't do this all on my own I'm letting go So give me one more chance To save me from this road I'm on Jesus take the wheel It was still getting colder when she made it to the shoulder And the car came to a stop She cried when she saw that baby in the backseat sleeping like a rock And for the first time in a long time She bowed her head to pray She said I'm sorry for the way I've been living my life I know I've got to change So from now on tonight Jesus take the wheel Take it from my hands Cause I can't do this all my own I'm letting go So give me one more chance To save me from this road I'm on Oh, Jesus take the wheel Oh, I'm letting go So give me one more chance Save me from this road I'm on From this road I'm on Jesus take the wheel Oh, take it, take it from me Oh, why, oh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broken_wings Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 I think most of the ones i can think of have already been posted. Hope this one hasn't though Blackbird flying - The Beatles Blackbird singing in the dead of night Take these broken wings and learn to fly All your life You were only waiting for this moment to arise. Blackbird singing in the dead of night Take these sunken eyes and learn to see All your life You were only waiting for this moment to arise Blackbird fly Into the light of the dark black night Blackbird fly Into the light of the dark black night Blackbird singing in the dead of night Take these broken wings and learn to fly All your life You were only waiting for this moment to arise.

reallydon'tknow Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 This Time Is The Last Time- Mae Save yourself. Because the only thing that matters is that you get away from the pain and the thought of losing your mind. Don't blame yourself. It was everyone around you who made you act this way. There's the stage and your chance to watch it go down. Don't fake yourself into ever, ever thinking about yesterday. That was then, this is now. Don't call it undone. Don't take what you've been dealt. You can exit out the back and make your getaway before anyone can see the damage you have done. This time is the last time so be here, here now. This time is the last time. Somehow make it through. State your case. You've got everyone's attention. What can you say? Thanks or forget what you've been given. Take your place. Do you think that you deserve the best of everything? We don't get why you're here. Can you figure it out? This time is the last time so be here, here now. You've got to get away. Oh, I get lost in the thought of losing you. You've got to get away. I know it's a dream but it must be true. Wave now goodbye. It's the lesson that you've been given. You can always move on to better things. This time is the last time so be here, but be here now. This time is the last time somehow. This time is the last time so be here, but be here now. This time is the last time. Somehow make it through. Wash Away Those Years- Creed She came calling One early morning She showed her crown of thorns She whispered softly To tell a story About how she had been wronged As she lay lifeless He stole her innocence And this is how she carried on This is how she carried on Well I guess she closed her eyes And just imagined everything's alright But she could not hide her tears 'Cause they were sent to wash away those years They were sent to wash away those years My anger's violent But still I'm silent When tragedy strikes at home I know this decadence Is shared by millions Remember you're not alone Remember you're not alone Well if you just close your eyes And just imagine everything's alright But do not hide your tears 'Cause they were sent to wash away those years Well if you just close your eyes And just imagine everything's alright But do not hide your tears 'Cause they were sent to wash away those years They were sent to wash away those years Maybe we can wash away those years For we have crossed many oceans And we labor in between In life there are many quotients And I hope I find the mean the mean, the mean Well if you just close your eyes And just imagine everything's alright But do not hide your tears 'Cause they were sent to wash away those years Well if you just close your eyes And just imagine everything's alright But do not hide your tears 'Cause they were sent to wash away those years Maybe we can wash away those years I hope that you can wash away those years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angelfalls Posted December 9, 2005 Share Posted December 9, 2005 whenever I feel myself sliding and thinking too much I listen to a band called Nightwish The lyrics of most of their songs are uplifting especially Higher Than Hope which is where I got my signature from. I bless the day I was told about them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
