Favorite Meaningful Song Lyrics

[mwight]

What are you favorite song lyrics that hold a deep personal meaning for you?

 

I will start with two of mine.

 

 

Tool -Lateralus

 

Black then white are all i see in my infancy.

red and yellow then came to be, reaching out to me.

lets me see.

 

as below, so above and beyond, I imagine

drawn beyond the lines of reason.

Push the envelope. Watch it bend.

 

Over thinking, over analyzing separates the body from the mind.

Withering my intuition, missing opportunities and I must

Feed my will to feel my moment drawing way outside the lines.

 

Black then white are all i see in my infancy.

red and yellow then came to be, reaching out to me.

lets me see there is so much more and

beckons me to look thru to these infinite possibilities.

as below, so above and beyond, I imagine

drawn outside the lines of reason.

Push the envelope. Watch it bend.

 

over thinking, over analyzing separates the body from the mind.

Withering my intuition leaving opportunities behind.

Feed my will to feel this moment urging me to cross the line.

Reaching out to embrace the random.

Reaching out to embrace whatever may come.

 

I embrace my desire to

I embrace my desire to

feel the rhythm, to feel connected enough to step aside and weep like a widow

to feel inspired to fathom the power, to witness the beauty,

to bathe in the fountain,

to swing on the spiral

to swing on the spiral

to swing on the spiral of our divinity and still be a human.

 

With my feet upon the ground I move myeslf between the sounds and open wide to suck it in.

I feel it move across my skin.

I'm reaching up and reaching out. I'm reaching for the random or what ever will bewilder me.

what ever will bewilder me.

And following our will and wind we may just go where no one's been.

We'll ride the spiral to the end and may just go where no one's been.

Spiral out. Keep going.

Spiral out. Keep going.

Spiral out. Keep going.

Spiral out. Keep going.

Spiral out. Keep going.

Nine Inch Nails -Right Where It Belongs

-

See the animal in his cage that you built,

Are you sure what side you're on?

Better not look him too closely in the eye,

Are you sure what side of the glass you are on?

See the safety of the life you have built,

Everything where it belongs

Feel the hollowness inside of your heart,

And it's all... right where it belongs

 

What if everything around you,

Isn't quite as it seems?

What if all the world you think you know,

Is an elaborate dream?

And if you look at your reflection,

Is it all you want it to be?

What if you could look right through the cracks,

Would you find yourself... find yourself afraid to see?

 

What if all the world's inside of your head?

Just creations of your own

Your devils and your gods all the living and the dead

And you're really all alone

You can live in this illusion,

You can choose to believe.

You keep looking but you can't find the woods,

While you're hiding in the trees

 

What if everything around you,

Isn't quite as it seems?

What if all the world you used to know,

Is an elaborate dream?

And if you look at your reflection,

Is that all you want to be?

What if you could look right through the cracks,

Would you find yourself... find yourself afraid to see?

[Gerard]

One pill makes you larger

And one pill makes you small

And the ones that mother gives you

Don't do anything at all

Go ask Alice

When she's ten feet tall

 

And if you go chasing rabbits

And you know you're going to fall

Tell 'em a hookah smoking caterpillar

Has given you the call

Recall Alice

When she was just small

 

When men on the chessboard

Get up and tell you where to go

And you've just had some kind of mushroom

And your mind is moving low

Go ask Alice

I think she'll know

 

When logic and proportion

Have fallen sloppy dead

And the White Knight is talking backwards

And the Red Queen's "off with her head!"

Remember what the door knob said:

"FEED YOUR HEAD

 

White Rabbit (Jefferson Airplane)

White rabbit is great !

 

Ill post another one i like

 

R.E.M: loosing my religion ! (was hard choosing between this and shiny happy people lol)

 

Life is bigger

It's bigger than you

And you are not me

The lengths that I will go to

The distance in your eyes

Oh no I've said too much

I set it up

 

That's me in the corner

That's me in the spotlight

Losing my religion

Trying to keep up with you

And I don't know if I can do it

Oh no I've said too much

I haven't said enough

I thought that I heard you laughing

I thought that I heard you sing

I think I thought I saw you try

 

Every whisper

Of every waking hour I'm

Choosing my confessions

Trying to keep an eye on you

Like a hurt lost and blinded fool

Oh no I've said too much

I set it up

 

Consider this

The hint of the century

Consider this

The slip that brought me

To my knees failed

What if all these fantasies

Come flailing around

Now I've said too much

I thought that I heard you laughing

I thought that I heard you sing

I think I thought I saw you try

 

But that was just a dream

That was just a dream

Loosing my religion is a great song! Good choice.

Here is one of my favorites (I could almost post any Beatles song from the album Revolver to the last they made). It touches me beyond the lyrics. I cried lots of times listening to it. It was tears of feeling some bigger plan.

 

Across The Universe / J. Lennon Beatles

 

Words are flowing out like endless rain into a paper cup,

They slither while they pass, they slip away across the universe

Pools of sorrow, waves of joy are drifting through my open mind

Possessing and caressing me.

Jai guru de va om

Nothing's gonna change my world,

Nothing's gonna change my world.

 

Images of broken light which dance before me like a million eyes,

That call me on and on across the universe,

Thoughts meander like a restless wind inside a letter box they

Tumble blindly as they make their way

Across the universe

Jai guru de va om

Nothing's gonna change my world,

Nothing's gonna change my world.

 

Sounds of laughter shades of earth are ringing

Through my open views inviting and inciting me

Limitless undying love which shines around me like a

million suns, it calls me on and on

Across the universe

Jai guru de va om

Nothing's gonna change my world,

Nothing's gonna change my world.

Taxi

 

Harry Chapin

 

It was raining hard in 'Frisco,

I needed one more fare to make my night.

A lady up ahead waved to flag me down,

She got in at the light.

 

Oh, where you going to, my lady blue,

It's a shame you ruined your gown in the rain.

She just looked out the window, and said

"Sixteen Parkside Lane".

 

Something about her was familiar

I could swear I'd seen her face before,

But she said, "I'm sure you're mistaken"

And she didn't say anything more.

 

It took a while, but she looked in the mirror,

And she glanced at the license for my name.

A smile seemed to come to her slowly,

It was a sad smile, just the same.

And she said, "How are you Harry?"

I said, "How are you Sue?

Through the too many miles

and the too little smiles

I still remember you."

 

It was somewhere in a fairy tale,

I used to take her home in my car.

We learned about love in the back of the Dodge,

The lesson hadn't gone too far.

You see, she was gonna be an actress,

And I was gonna learn to fly.

She took off to find the footlights,

And I took off to find the sky.

 

Oh, I've got something inside me,

To drive a princess blind.

There's a wild man, wizard,

He's hiding in me, illuminating my mind.

Oh, I've got something inside me,

Not what my life's about,

Cause I've been letting my outside tide me,

Over 'till my time, runs out.

 

Baby's so high that she's skying,

Yes she's flying, afraid to fall.

I'll tell you why baby's crying,

Cause she's dying, aren't we all.

 

There was not much more for us to talk about,

Whatever we had once was gone.

So I turned my cab into the driveway,

Past the gate and the fine trimmed lawns.

And she said we must get together,

But I knew it'd never be arranged.

And she handed me twenty dollars,

For a two fifty fare, she said

"Harry, keep the change."

Well another man might have been angry,

And another man might have been hurt,

But another man never would have let her go...

I stashed the bill in my shirt.

 

And she walked away in silence,

It's strange, how you never know,

But we'd both gotten what we'd asked for,

Such a long, long time ago.

 

You see, she was gonna be an actress

And I was gonna learn to fly.

She took off to find the footlights,

And I took off for the sky.

And here, she's acting happy,

Inside her handsome home.

And me, I'm flying in my taxi,

Taking tips, and getting stoned,

I go flying so high, when I'm stoned.

[Ian]

After his second wife passed away, Percy Rawlinson seemed to spend more and more time with his alsatian Al. His friends told him "You should get out more, Percy, or you'll wind up looking like a dog, ha ha." He was later arrested near a lampost. At his trial some months later he surprised everyone by mistaking a policeman for a postman and tearing his trousers off with his bare teeth. In his defence he told the court "It's hard to tell the difference when they take their hats off."

 

Mrs Betty Pench was playing the trombone when she heard a knock on the door. "I wonder who that is at eleven o'clock in the morning" she thought, but cautiously opening the door, instead of the turbanned ruffian she had expected, she found a very nice young man. "Mrs. Pench, you've won the car contest, would you like a triumph spitfire or 3000 in cash?" He smiled. Mrs. Pench said the money. "What will you do with it all? Not that it's any of my business," he giggled. "I think I'll become an alcoholic," said Betty.

 

With a geranium behind each ear and his face painted with gay cabalistic symbols, six foot eight seventeen stone police sergeant Geoff Bull looked jolly convincing as he sweated and grunted through a vigorous twist routine at the Frug-a-go-go Bierkeller. His hot serge trousers flapped wildly over his enourmous plastic sandals as he jumped and jumped and gyrated towards a long-haired man. "Uh, excuse me, man, I have reason to believe you can turn me on." He leered suggestively. As if by magic dozens of truncheons appeared and mercilessly thrashed him. Poor Geoff, what a turnup for the books.

 

Much as he hated arguments or any kind of unpleasantness, Ron Shirt thought things had gone too far when, returning from a weekend in Clacton, he found that his neighbour had trimmed the enourmous hedge dividing their gardens into the shape of a human leg. Enraged and envious beyond belief, Ron seized his garden shears and clipped his white poodle Leo into a coffee table. "That'll fix it," thought Ron, but he was wrong. The following Wednesday his neighbour had his bushy waist-length hair cut and permed into a model of the Queen Elizabeth and went sailing. Everywhere he went, people said "Hooray!" Sometimes you just can't win.

 

"Rhinocratic Oaths" by the Bonzo Dog Doo Da Band, from the Album "A Doughnut in Granny's Greenhouse"

Couldn't resist the coincidence that I'd just printed it out for a colleague a few minutes ago.

TV on the Radio

"Province"

 

 

Suddenly, all your history's ablaze

Try to breathe, as the world disintegrates

Just like autumn leaves, we're in for change

Holding tenderly to what remains

And all your memories, are as precious as gold

And all the honey, and the fire which you've stole

Have you running through all your red-cheeked days

Shaking loose these souls, from their sacred hiding space

 

Hold your heart courageously

As we walk into this dark place

Stand steadfast erect and see

That love is the province of the brave

 

Pushed under this expanse of bursting stars

Let this burning brightly illuminate the where we are

In this hollow that lovers' voices occupy

Let it follow that we let it free, let it fly

 

Breaking open the walls of this cage

Intoxicated, Oh so amazed

Much like falcons tumbling from the heights at play

Conjoined, talons engaged

 

Hold these hearts courageously

As we walk into this dark place

Stand steadfast beside me and see

That love is the province of the brave

'100 Years' by Five for Fighting

 

It goes over the years of a mans life. Lots of potent imagery. My favorite line is 'There's never a wish, better then this'

 

 

Michael

[ToP-fan]

I am gross and perverted

I'm obsessed 'n deranged

I have existed for years

But very little has changed

I'm the tool of the government

And industry too

For I am destined to rule

And regulate you

 

I may be vile and pernicious

But you can't look away

I make you think I'm delicious

With the stuff that I say

I'm the best you can get

Have you guessed me yet?

I'm the slime oozing out

From your TV set

 

You will obey me while I lead you

And eat the garbage that I feed you

Until the day that we don't need you

Don't go for help....no one will heed you

Your mind is totally controlled

It has been stuffed into my mold

And you will do as you are told

Until the rights to you are sold

 

Announcers Voice:

 

"That's right folks....don't touch that dial!"

 

Chorus:

Well, I am the slime from the video

Oozin' along on your livin room floor

 

I am the slime from your video

Can't stop the slime, people, lookit me go

 

I'm the Slime

 

By Frank Zappa

[Taomeow]

 

Closing Time

 

Ah we're drinking and we're dancing

and the band is really happening

and the Johnny Walker wisdom running high

And my very sweet companion

she's the Angel of Compassion

she's rubbing half the world against her thigh

And every drinker every dancer

lifts a happy face to thank her

the fiddler fiddles something so sublime

all the women tear their blouses off

and the men they dance on the polka-dots

and it's partner found, it's partner lost

and it's hell to pay when the fiddler stops:

it's CLOSING TIME

Yeah the women tear their blouses off

and the men they dance on the polka-dots

and it's partner found, it's partner lost

and it's hell to pay when the fiddler stops:

it's CLOSING TIME

 

Ah we're lonely, we're romantic

and the cider's laced with acid

and the Holy Spirit's crying, "Where's the beef?"

And the moon is swimming naked

and the summer night is fragrant

with a mighty expectation of relief

So we struggle and we stagger

down the snakes and up the ladder

to the tower where the blessed hours chime

and I swear it happened just like this:

a sigh, a cry, a hungry kiss

the Gates of Love they budged an inch

I can't say much has happened since

but CLOSING TIME

 

I swear it happened just like this:

a sigh, a cry, a hungry kiss

the Gates of Love they budged an inch

I can't say much has happened since

CLOSING TIME

 

I loved you for your beauty

but that doesn't make a fool of me:

you were in it for your beauty too

and I loved you for your body

there's a voice that sounds like God to me

declaring, declaring, declaring that your body's really you

And I loved you when our love was blessed

and I love you now there's nothing left

but sorrow and a sense of overtime

and I missed you since the place got wrecked

And I just don't care what happens next

looks like freedom but it feels like death

it's something in between I guess

it's CLOSING TIME

 

Yeah I missed you since the place got wrecked

By the winds of change and the weeds of sex

looks like freedom but it feels like death

it's something in between I guess

it's CLOSING TIME

 

Yeah we're drinking and we're dancing

but there's nothing really happening

and the place is dead as Heaven on a Saturday night

And my very close companion

gets me fumbling gets me laughing

she's a hundred but she's wearing

something tight

and I lift my glass to the Awful Truth

which you can't reveal to the Ears of Youth

except to say it isn't worth a dime

And the whole damn place goes crazy twice

and it's once for the devil and once for Christ

but the Boss don't like these dizzy heights

we're busted in the blinding lights,

busted in the blinding lights

of CLOSING TIME

 

The whole damn place goes crazy twice

and it's once for the devil and once for Christ

but the Boss don't like these dizzy heights

we're busted in the blinding lights,

busted in the blinding lights

of CLOSING TIME

Brandi Carlile - Have You Ever (The Story 2007)

 

Have you ever wandered lonely through the woods?

And everything there feels just as it should

You're part of the life there

You're part of something good

If you've ever wandered lonely through the woods

if you've ever wandered lonlely through the woods

 

Have you ever stared into a starry sky?

Lying on your back you're asking why

What's the purpose I wonder who am I

If you've ever stared into a starry sky

Have you ever stared into a starry sky

 

Have you ever been out walking in the snow?

Tried to get back to where you were before

You always end up not knowing where to go

If you've ever been out walking in the snow

If you'd ever been out walking you would know

~~~ The Book Of My Life ~~~ Sting

 

Let me watch by the fire and remember my days

And it may be a trick of the firelight

But the flickering pages that trouble my sight

Is a book I'm afraid to write

 

It's the book of my days, it's the book of my life

And it's cut like a fruit on the blade of a knife

And it's all there to see as the section reveals

There's some sorrow in every life

 

If it reads like a puzzle, a wandering maze

Then I won't understand 'til the end of my days

I'm still forced to remember,

Remember the words of my life

 

There are promises broken and promises kept

Angry words that were spoken, when I should have wept

There's a chapter of secrets, and words to confess

If I lose everything that I possess

There's a chapter on loss and a ghost who won't die

There's a chapter on love where the ink's never dry

There are sentences served in a prison I built out of lies.

 

Though the pages are numbered

I can't see where they lead

For the end is a mystery no-one can read

In the book of my life

 

There's a chapter on fathers a chapter on sons

There are pages of conflicts that nobody won

And the battles you lost and your bitter defeat,

There's a page where we fail to meet

 

There are tales of good fortune that couldn't be planned

There's a chapter on god that I don't understand

There's a promise of Heaven and Hell but I'm damned if I see

 

Though the pages are numbered

I can't see where they lead

For the end is a mystery no-one can read

In the book of my life

 

Now the daylight's returning

And if one sentence is true

All these pages are burning

And all that's left is you

 

Though the pages are numbered

I can't see where they lead

For the end is a mystery no-one can read

In the book of my life

a girl with colitis goes by...

[minkus]

REM was a starter, i yust remember the song wich lyrics had the deepest impact on my life ! The End by The Doors

This is the end

Beautiful friend

This is the end

My only friend, the end

 

Of our elaborate plans, the end

Of everything that stands, the end

No safety or surprise, the end

I'll never look into your eyes...again

 

Can you picture what will be

So limitless and free

Desperately in need...of some...stranger's hand

In a...desperate land

 

Lost in a Roman...wilderness of pain

And all the children are insane

All the children are insane

Waiting for the summer rain, yeah

 

There's danger on the edge of town

Ride the King's highway, baby

Weird scenes inside the gold mine

Ride the highway west, baby

 

Ride the snake, ride the snake

To the lake, the ancient lake, baby

The snake is long, seven miles

Ride the snake...he's old, and his skin is cold

 

The west is the best

The west is the best

Get here, and we'll do the rest

 

The blue bus is callin' us

The blue bus is callin' us

Driver, where you taken' us

 

The killer awoke before dawn, he put his boots on

He took a face from the ancient gallery

And he walked on down the hall

He went into the room where his sister lived, and...then he

Paid a visit to his brother, and then he

He walked on down the hall, and

And he came to a door...and he looked inside

Father, yes son, I want to kill you

Mother...I want to...fuck you

 

C'mon baby, take a chance with us

C'mon baby, take a chance with us

C'mon baby, take a chance with us

And meet me at the back of the blue bus

Doin' a blue rock

On a blue bus

Doin' a blue rock

C'mon, yeah

 

Kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill

 

This is the end

Beautiful friend

This is the end

My only friend, the end

 

It hurts to set you free

But you'll never follow me

The end of laughter and soft lies

The end of nights we tried to die

 

This is the end

[Gerard]

OK, more:

 

There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold

And she's buying the stairway to heaven.

When she gets there she knows, if the stores are all closed

With a word she can get what she came for.

Ooh, ooh, and she's buying the stairway to heaven.

 

There's a sign on the wall but she wants to be sure

'Cause you know sometimes words have two meanings.

In a tree by the brook, there's a songbird who sings,

Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven.

Ooh, it makes me wonder,

Ooh, it makes me wonder.

 

There's a feeling I get when I look to the west,

And my spirit is crying for leaving.

In my thoughts I have seen rings of smoke through the trees,

And the voices of those who stand looking.

Ooh, it makes me wonder,

Ooh, it really makes me wonder.

 

And it's whispered that soon if we all call the tune

Then the piper will lead us to reason.

And a new day will dawn for those who stand long

And the forests will echo with laughter.

 

If there's a bustle in your hedgerow, don't be alarmed now,

It's just a spring clean for the May queen.

Yes, there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run

There's still time to change the road you're on.

And it makes me wonder.

 

Your head is humming and it won't go, in case you don't know,

The piper's calling you to join him,

Dear lady, can you hear the wind blow, and did you know

Your stairway lies on the whispering wind.

 

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 the stairway to heaven.

 

Stairway To Heaven
