Cira Posted January 7, 2004 Share Posted January 7, 2004 And another "power" song...Do be careful with this one, though - it could trigger. It's pretty angry and, well, violent, but it's really good. I sort of put my own spin on it and think of the violence in the song as more symbolic than anything.... "Sarah Yellin'" ~ 3 Doors Down She says I got something to say She knows what she says will change everything She's laid through too many sleepless nights She's cryin, She's cryin', She's cryin' Mother, that man took my soul away Father, how could you ever treat me this way Brother, don't ever let him do this again This time it's over. I'm gonna make it end Now it's over And the old man is dead Lyin' on the ground Bullet in his head She stood at the foot of the guilty bed last night She held what could set her free for the rest of her life She did all that she said that she planned to do She's through, She's through, She's through Mother, that man took my soul away Father, how could you ever treat me this way Brother, don't ever let him do this again This time it's over. I'm gonna make it end Now it's over And the old man is dead Lyin' on the ground Bullet in his head (There's a bullet in your head) I kept falling down Look who's fallin' now I kept crying out Look who's cryin' now Now it's over This is what she said He's lyin' on the ground Bullet in his head Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Abbey Posted January 7, 2004 Share Posted January 7, 2004 Just copied and pasted this from LUKIN ( Pearl Jam Site) I think this is a really good song (of course I think everyone is, but yeah. lol) The story is sad, but there is still hope. That's one of the reasons i love it so much. And it is just so beautiful. I urge you to listen to it. 07) Thumbing My Way Time: 4:10 Vedder I have not been home since you left long ago. I'm thumbing my way back to heaven. Counting steps. Walking backwards on the road. I'm counting my way back to heaven. I can't be free with what's locked inside of me. If there was a key you took it in your hands. There's no wrong or right but I'm sure there's good and bad. The questions linger overhead. No matter how cold the winter, there's a spring time ahead. I'm thumbing my way back to heaven. I'd wish that I could hold you. I'd wish that I had. Thinking about heaven. I let go of a rope. Thinking that's what held me back. And in time I've realized it's now wrapped around my neck. I can't see what's next from this lonely overpass. Hang my head and count my steps as another car goes past. All the rusted signs we ignore throughout our lives. Choosing the shiny ones instead. I turned my back. Now there's not turning back. No matter how cold the winter, there's a spring time ahead. I smile but who am I kidding. I'm just walking the miles. Every once in a while I get a ride. I'm thumbing my way back to heaven. (x3) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amilee Posted January 7, 2004 Share Posted January 7, 2004 I think I have just fallen in love with the "Control" song and I haven't even heard it. The lyrics just...call to me. Hmm, so good. Thank you!!! It kinda gave me a power boost, a much needed one at that. (((((((((Cira))))))))) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chehalis Posted January 7, 2004 Share Posted January 7, 2004 oh how could i forget this one!!! yes, i am a Poe FANATIC!!!... and i just CAN't for the life of me pick a favorite!!! they are all so GREAT!!! That Day Tomorrow's coming 'round like a hair-pin curve in the road She's got a run in her stocking and she's missing the heel of her shoe Got up this morning rolled out of bed I spilled a Diet Coke Called my mother Said, "Hi." What I meant to say was: "Why is your life a joke?" Then I went down to that ugly bar and I clicked my heels three times just like you said And I climbed that road to your empty house The anticipation was a turn-on...but you let me down 'Cause I stood on that empty street alone I said, "I'm ready for my close-up now, Mr. Demille." I waited for the light but it never shone Well I wonder what you'll do with that expensive piece of land That overlooks a billion years of history (I have a sneaking suspicion) You will never understand Hey maybe I'll see you down by the Rocky & Bullwinkle And we can talk to that charlatan psychic And she can paint a prettier picture of your future. 'Cause that day in my life... That day in my life... I dreamt tomorrow had a prettier face I dreamt tomorrow would have better things to say Than, "You look like shit, what's your problem, bitch? You're legs feel like sandpaper, you can't do anything right." 'Cause that day never should have taken place 'Cause this day in my life still cannot explain Why I listened in the first place to you Oh yeah, something else... I hope one day you call up your father And you have the guts to tell him how he hurt you And how he made you hurt another 'Cause it makes me sad.

ForeverDancer Posted January 7, 2004 Share Posted January 7, 2004 Maaan Sparrow, I was just thinking I needed to post Angry Johnny cause that song rocks...but you beat me to it. Oh well, I love Poe, and though not completely "on topic" I love Beautiful girl, it just helps me feel better. Poe: Beautiful Girl Someone's gotta hear this... Beautiful girl, you must've been a beautiful baby too Beautiful woman, you must've had your moments inside the sun Beautiful girl Beautiful stranger Why do you have to walk with your head hung low Beautiful girl Your eyes are mockingbirds inside a guilded cage Your life's a silent movie that I haven't heard for ages Tell me everything, someone's gotta hear this beautiful thing Beautiful mother, frozen in ice I've waiting for you to grow for my whole life Beautiful girl Your eyes are mockingbirds inside a guilded cage Your life's a silent movie that I haven't heard for ages Tell me everything, someone's gotta hear this beautiful thing (so beautiful) And this song really gives me hope, I love the part that goes... Another lonely highway in the black of night But there's hope in the darkness You know you're going to make it Savage Garden two beds and a coffee machine And she takes another step Slowly she opens the door Check that he is sleeping Pick up all the broken glass and furniture on the floor Been up half the night screaming now it's time to get away Pack up the kids in the car Another bruise to try and hide Another alibi to write Another ditch in the road You keep moving Another stop sign You keep moving on And the years go by so fast Wonder how I ever made it through And there are children to think of Baby's asleep in the backseat Wonder how they'll ever make it through this living nightmare But the mind is an amazing thing Full of candy dreams and new toys and another cheap hotel Two beds and a coffee machine But there are groceries to buy And she knows she'll have to go home Another ditch in the road You keep moving Another stop sign You keep moving on And the years go by so fast Wonder how I ever made it through Another bruise to try and hide Another alibi to write Another lonely highway in the black of night But there's hope in the darkness You know you're going to make it Another ditch in the road Keep moving Another stop sign You keep moving on And the years go by so fast Silent fortress built to last Wonder how I ever made it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForeverDancer Posted January 7, 2004 Share Posted January 7, 2004 OK another Poe, sorry, but this song is just totally empowering to me. Walk the Walk My mother spent 10 years sitting by a window Scared if she spoke she would die of a heart attack She listened as her dreams silently screamed They drowned like little dolphins caught in a fishnet Dear world i'm pleased to meet you Hey everybody when you walk the walk You gotta back it all up you gotta talk the talk Hey everybody when I hear the knock Don't wanna measure out my life to the tick of a clock Hey everybody when my daddy died He had a sad sad story written in his eyes Hey everybody when you walk the walk You cannot measure out your life to the tick of a clock I wanna walk to the beat of my own drum I wanna walk to the beat of my own drum Hey everybody Can you walk the walk you gotta back it all up But can you talk the talk Hey everybody can you walk the walk? I wanna walk to the beat of my own drum (Say what?) I wanna walk to the beat of my own drum (Say what?) I wanna walk to the beat of my own drum I wanna live to the beat of my own drum I wanna take to the beat of my own drum I wanna hang ten, high, say pleased to meet you Give to the beat of my own drum I wanna sing to the beat of my own drum I wanna fly, cry, win, lose, live, die, take five Pleased to meet you My daddy spent 10 years living on the outside looking in He thought that he would never get back Watched his dream walk across a silver screen And he was standing there when the theatre went pitch black Dear world I'm pleased to meet you Hey everybody when I walk the walk I gotta back it all up I vgotta talk the talk Hey everybody when I hear the knock Don't wanna measure out my life to the tick of a clock Hey everybody--can you walk the walk? I wanna walk to the beat of my own drum (Say what?) I wanna walk to the beat of my own drum (Say what?) I wanna live to the beat of my own drum I wanna laugh to the beat of my own drum I wanna play to the beat of my own drum I wanna hang ten, high, say pleased to meet you I wanna screw up to the beat of my own drum I wanna take it out of town and do it to my drum Scream shout Wipe out Make love to my baby Father: It's a wonderful idea, but it doesn't work. My own drum my own beat Hey did you ever get the feeling that it's really a joke You think you've got it figured out and then you find that you don't So you say goodbye to the world and now you're floating in space You got no sense of nothing not even a time or a place Then suddenly you hear it it's the beat of your heart And for the first time in your life you know your life is about to start I wanna walk to the beat of my own drum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And fly and hop and everything Can the sun reach down on us And through the heavens only we would sing I want the birdy make me laugh See the birdy make me laugh Take a little birdy bath I don't know why he got me high I don't know why, I don't know why It cannot die, it sang too high And all the birds on the wing sang so together [repeat all] So together, so together Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chehalis Posted January 8, 2004 Share Posted January 8, 2004 somebody stop me ... okay, this one is from the Stigmata soundtrack by the ever so lovely Bjork: Artist: Bjork Lyrics Song: All Is Full of Love Lyrics you'll be given love you'll be taken care of you'll be given love you have to trust it maybe not from the sources you have poured yours maybe not from the directions you are staring at trust your head around it's all around you all is full of love all around you all is full of love you just aint receiving all is full of love your phone is off the hook all is full of love your doors are all shut all is full of love! all is full of love all is full of love all is full of love all is full of love all is full of love another Bjork song that i used to be obsessed with when i was in a much worse place than i am now: Play Dead darling stop confusing me with your wishful thinking hopeful embraces don't you understand? i have to go through this i belong to here where no-one cares and no-one loves no light no air to live in a place called hate the city of fear i play dead it stops the hurting i play dead and hurting stops it's sometimes just like sleeping curling up inside my private tortures i nestle into pain hug suffering caress every ache i play dead it stops the hurting and finaly an oh-so accurate description of: Human Behavior: If you ever get close to a human and human behaviour be ready to get confused there's definitely no logic to human behaviour but yet so irresistible there is no map to human behaviour they're terribly moody then all of a sudden turn happy but, oh, to get involved in the exchange of human emotions is ever so satisfying there's no map and a compass wouldn't help at all human behaviour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cira Posted January 8, 2004 Share Posted January 8, 2004 Speaking of Ani, I've always loved that part of 'Not A Pretty Girl' that goes: I am not an angry girl But it seems like I've got everyone fooled. Everytime I say something they find hard to hear They chalk it up to my anger And never to their own fear. Imagine you're a girl Just tryin' to finally come clean Knowing full well they prefer you dirty and smiling. The first time I heard that, I had to keep going back to listen to it again and again...so powerful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

babycakes Posted January 17, 2004 Share Posted January 17, 2004 I heard this on the radio today, driving home to my mum's, and the chorus grabbed me... The verses aren't so applicable to me, but might be to others. It's by an artist called Jamelia (I think she's British), and it's called Thank You. [Verse 1:] The fights, those nights I tried to pretend it don't hurt The way, I prayed Someday that you would love me Really, completely Just how I wanted it to be But no, so wrong Can't believe I stayed with you so long [b-Chorus:] You hit, you spit, you split, ever-y bit of me, yeah You stole, you broke, you're cold You're such a joke to me, yeah [Chorus:] For every last bruise you gave me For every time I sat in tears For the million ways you hurt me I just wanna tell you this You broke my world, made me strong Thank you Messed up my dreams, made me strong Thank you [Verse 2:] My head, near dead Just the way you wanted it My soul, stone cold Cos I was under you're control So young, so dumb Knew just how to make me succumb But I un-derstand To make yourself feel like a man [b-Chorus:] You hit, you spit, you split, ever-y bit of me, yeah You stole, you broke, you're cold You're such a joke to me, yeah [Chorus:] For every last bruise you gave me For every time I sat in tears For the million ways you hurt me I just wanna tell you this You broke my world, made me strong Thank you Messed up my dreams, made me strong Thank you [Middle eight:] You coulda had it all babe It coulda been so right I woulda given you everything Morning through night Yeah, you taught me some lessons Those are my blessings That won't happen again Thank you [Chorus till end] It's a great song - I'm sure those of you not in Britain can hear it on the net (assuming she IS British, and I'm not just imaging that).

lynn Posted February 8, 2004 Share Posted February 8, 2004 Okay this one is old school, but I still like it.Runaway Train Soul Asylum Call you up in the middle of the night Like a firefly without a light You were there like a blowtorch burning I was a key that could use a little turning So tired that I couldn’t even sleep So many secrets I couldn’t keep Promised myself I wouldn’t weep One more promise I couldn’t keep It seems no one can help me now I’m in too deep; there’s no way out This time I have really led my self astray Runaway train, never going back Wrong way on a one-way track Seems like I should be getting somewhere Somehow I’m neither here nor there Can you help me remember how to smile? Make it somehow all seem worthwile? How on earth did I get so jaded? Life’s mystery seems so faded I can go where no one else can go I know what no one else knows Here I am just a-drownin’ in the rain With a ticket for a runaway train And everything seems cut-and-dried Day and night, earth and sky Somehow I just don’t believe it Runaway train, never going back Wrong way on a one-way track Seems like I should be getting somewhere Somehow I’m neither here nor there Bought a ticket for a runaway train Like a madman laughing at the rain A little out of touch, a little insane It’s just easier than dealing with the pain Runaway train, never going back Wrong way on a one-way track Seems like I should be getting somewhere Somehow I’m neither here nor there Runaway train, never coming back Runaway train, tearing up the track Runaway train, burning in my veins I run away, but it always seems the same i love this song. thank you so much for posting the lyrics, I had forgotten all about it.

Laney Posted February 9, 2004 Author Share Posted February 9, 2004 Concrete Angel Martina McBride She walks to school with the lunch she packed Nobody knows what she's holdin' back Wearin' the same dress she wore yesterday She hides the bruises with linen and lace The teacher wonders but she doesn't ask It's hard to see the pain behind the mask Bearing the burden of a secret storm Sometimes she wishes she was never born Through the wind and the rain She stands hard as a stone In a world that she can't rise above But her dreams give her wings And she flies to a place where she's loved Concrete angel Somebody cries in the middle of the night The neighbors hear, but they turn out the lights A fragile soul caught in the hands of fate When morning comes it'll be too late [Repeat Chorus] A statue stands in a shaded place An angel girl with an upturned face A name is written on a polished rock A broken heart that the world forgot [Repeat Chorus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest JCL Posted February 18, 2004 Share Posted February 18, 2004 For some reason these two songs speak to me Pearl Jam - "rearviewmirror" 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 S'pose 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 (4x) Clearer (2x) Once you, were in my...Rearview mirror... I gather speed from you f***ing with me Once and for all I'm far away I hardly believe, finally the shades...are raised...hey... Saw things so much clearer } Once you, once you... } (3x) Rearview mirror } Saw things so much clearer Once you...oh yeah... Timbuk3 - "Reprise (Don't Stop Now)" You've been down a one-way track Putting out, not gettin' back Darkness all along the way Heading for the break of day Life's a long hard uphill climb Workin' workin' overtime Fighting, fighting for dear life Doing what you feel is right Don't stop now Don't stop now Don't stop now Don't stop now Don't stop now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest katehealer Posted February 26, 2004 Share Posted February 26, 2004 I'm trading my sorrows I'm trading my shame I'm laying them down for the joy of the Lord Heard late at night on a gospel music cd informercial. Don't know the name, but I think that it is "Trading My Sorrows." I sing it and try not to feel shame for what my mother did to me. It has been very helpful, was really the start of me saying no strongly to the shame I have felt for being sexually abused by my mother.
