I think often enough about how some songs can express what I think or feel at times better than I can properly can.
So I figure maybe a music thread?
Fare warning.The following song is techno...lots of synthesizers :)
A million faces, each a million lies
for each and all a chrome disguise
prompts for action, force reaction
embody promise in a sheen so pure.
Hurt, the measure of blind ambition,
the testament to your singular disease.
Against all wisdom you heed no warning,
your desires giving you away.
If I could change your mind,
I wouldn’t save you from the path you wander.
In desperation dreams, any soul can set you free.
And I still hear you scream,
in every breath, in every single motion.
Burning innocence, the fire to set you free.
Your actions turn conquest to dust.
Importance of fate, you foolishly place trust.
Sense fear in your broken breathing.
Resort to shadows till your body expires.
All creation has the promise of heaven,
and still you travel the road to hell.
I’m saying nothing for the good of myself,
but I’m still talking and you’re not listening.
If I could change your mind,
I wouldn’t save you from the path you wander.
In desperation dreams, any soul can set you free.
And I still hear you scream,
in every breath, in every single motion.
Burning innocence, the fire to set you free.
As night descends upon the city,
the streets are cold, the lights go by.
And in the stories of the people,
a million faces, a million lies.
They’ll never say they feel what you feel,
that they can see the world you see.
And in their faces, their expressions,
a million faces, a million lies.
~I have felt many times this song describes my own desolate feelings, and how some close to me might feel in response. The wheel keeps turning...now there are many I would love to say these sentiments to. ~
Please excuse my blatant musical expression as I hope that this doesn’t offend anyone. If it does, I deeply apologize and want you to listen to the second song. Thank you for creating this thread of musical expression...AWESOME!
10s
My skin is cold, transfusion with somebody morose and
old, drop into fruitless dying
It was tempting and bared, the whoring angel rising
Now burning prayers, my silent time of losing
(Chorus)
My foes - they can’t destroy my body
Colliding slow, like life itself
Long for the blur, we cannot dry much longer
Cement to dirt, disgusted with my cheapness
(Chorus)
(Chorus)
Reaching down, staring up (at the forgiver)
War Nerve
Truly, fuck the world, for all it’s worth, every inch of Planet
Earth, fuck myself, don’t leave me out, but don’t get
involved, don’t corner me
Inside, ulcer, unjust bastards, file out face first
Meet the lies and see what you are
(Pre)
It’s forcing you down, and it’s grinding against you
Let the war nerve break
(Chorus)
For every fucking second the pathetic media pisses on me and
judges what I am in one paragraph - Look here - Fuck you all
Expect the worse, you bleeding heart, but kill me first
before it starts, yes my cock is getting hard, we are
born different after all
Invite mayhem, produce weapons, shoot out, burn down
No CNN or media now
(Pre)
(Chorus)
All the money in the fucking world couldn’t
buy me one second of trust or one ounce of faith in anything you’re about
Fuck you all
Nothing is worth the sleep that I’ve lost
Apologies unacceptable now
A blistered revenge awaits in me
This is fucking loveless
Hate
Hate mail is not read, in jail instead
Hate x4
The Lord knows, there’s worse
Ignore, this curse
Hate x4
Fuck You Alll!!!
I know its hard to tell
How mixed up you feel
Hoping what you need
Is behind every door
Each time you get hurt
I don’t want you to change
Cuz everyone has hopes
You’re human after all
The feeling sometimes
Wishing you were someone else
Feeling as though
You never belong
This feeling is not sadness
This feeling is not joy
I truly understand
Please don’t cry now
Please don’t go
I want you to stay
I’m begging you please
Please don’t leave here
I don’t want you to hate
For all the hurt that you feel
The world is just illusion
Trying to change you
Being like you are
Well this is something else
Who would comprehend
That some bad do lay claim
Divine purpose blesses them
Thats not what I believe
And it doesn’t matter anyway
A part of your soul
Ties you to the next world
Or maybe to the last
But I’m still not sure
But what I do know
Is to us the world is different
As we are to the world
I guess you would know that
Please don’t go
I want you to stay
I’m begging you please
Please don’t leave here
I don’t want you to hate
For all the hurt that you feel
The world is just illusion
Trying to change you
Please don’t go }(2x)
I want you to stay /
I’m begging you please
Oh please don’t leave here
I don’t want you to change
For all the hurt that you feel
This world is just illusion
Always trying to change you
Further
At the end of days, at the end of time,
when the Sun burns out, will any of this matter?
Who will be there to remember who we were?
Who will be there to know that any of this had meaning for us?
And in retrospect I’ll say we’ve done no wrong.
Who are we to judge what’s right and what has purpose for us?
With designs upon ourselves to do no wrong,
running wild, unaware of what might come of us.
The Sun was born, so it shall die,
’til only shadows comfort me.
I know in darkness I will find you giving up inside like me.
Each day shall end as it begins
and though you’re far away from me
I know in darkness I will find you giving up inside like me.
(repeat)
Without a thought I will see everything eternal,
forget that once we were just dust from heavens far.
As we were forged we shall return, perhaps some day,
I will remember us and wonder who we were.
The Sun was born, so it shall die,
’til only shadows comfort me.
I know in darkness I will find you giving up inside like me.
Each day shall end as it begins
and though you’re far away from me
I know in darkness I will find you giving up inside like me.
Mother the day has come
Someone is trying to take my life away
And you’ve got to know
That now I’m feeling worst
It seems to dream
I’m still standing here in front
Of your soul
Looking into your fireless eyes
Right now I’m one to many
It’s hard to say you may believe it
That everything I’ll do for me (It is something for...)
Will be in the name of your lonely tear (We are living no more)
But stay now
I’ll do
I believe in your power
Will you believe in me?
Can’t you tell me girl
What I should say and where I’ll go tonight?
Maybe in a dream
I’ll go between the sun and shining stars
don’t worry
I’ll be there with you whenever you are
Right now I’m one to many
It’s hard to say
You must believe it
That everything I’ll do for me (It is something for...)
Will be in the name of your lonely tear (We are living no more)
But stay now
I’ll do
I believe in your power
Will you believe in me?
The void of unexistance, Seeps the lies of humanity
The holy ground, our earth of the physical
as the cross erodes through the vortex of the nothing
I walk amongst the flesh - unknown
I reflect the aura - of the future, through my being.
As the cycle will be stopped and a mirror of humanity will be viewed
Epoch of spiritual consciousness
The circle consumes as life spiritual begins the quest for oneness
Without the sign of god
Destination, all knowledge - our uncreation
to respawn the birth of the next
I am the chosen - Incantate power of my will
Break the cycle of the earth condemned - begin I evolve
the soul of man, and the light of his son is I
(recreated/re-envisioned)
Recreated through the astral order
Of the universal comprehension
As we unite without the boundaries of the cross
and we are surrounded by the parallel cycles of life infinity
Standing there alone,
the ship is waiting.
All systems are go.
"Are you sure?"
Control is not convinced,
but the computer
has the evidence.
No need to abort.
The countdown starts.
Watching in a trance,
the crew is certain.
Nothing left to chance,
all is working.
Trying to relax
up in the capsule
"Send me up a drink."
jokes Major Tom.
The count goes on...
Second stage is cut.
We’re now in orbit.
Stabilizers up,
runnning perfect.
Starting to collect
requested data.
"What will it affect
when all is done?"
thinks Major Tom.
Back at ground control,
there is a problem.
"Go to rockets full."
Not responding.
"Hello Major Tom.
Are you receiving?
Turn the thrusters on.
We’re standing by."
There’s no reply.
Across the stratosphere,
a final message:
"Give my wife my love."
Then nothing more.
Far beneath the ship,
the world is mourning.
They don’t realize
he’s alive.
No one understands,
but Major Tom sees.
"Now the light commands
this is my home,
I’m coming home."
Earth below us
drifting, falling.
Floating weightless
coming home...
Earth below us
drifting, falling.
Floating weightless
coming, coming
home...
home.....
~feels like me, somehow. On both accounts...~
Once in a Lifetime_Talking Heads
And you may find yourself living in a shotgun shack
And you may find yourself in another part of the world
And you may find yourself behind the wheel of a large automobile
And you may find yourself in a beautiful house, with a beautiful
Wife
And you may ask yourself-well...how did I get here?
Letting the days go by/let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by/water flowing underground
Into the blue again/after the moneys gone
Once in a lifetime/water flowing underground.
And you may ask yourself
How do I work this?
And you may ask yourself
Where is that large automobile?
And you may tell yourself
This is not my beautiful house!
And you may tell yourself
This is not my beautiful wife!
Letting the days go by/let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by/water flowing underground
Into the blue again/after the moneys gone
Once in a lifetime/water flowing underground.
Same as it ever was...same as it ever was...same as it ever was...
Same as it ever was...same as it ever was...same as it ever was...
Same as it ever was...same as it ever was...
Water dissolving...and water removing
There is water at the bottom of the ocean
Carry the water at the bottom of the ocean
Remove the water at the bottom of the ocean!
Letting the days go by/let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by/water flowing underground
Into the blue again/in the silent water
Under the rocks and stones/there is water underground.
Letting the days go by/let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by/water flowing underground
Into the blue again/after the moneys gone
Once in a lifetime/water flowing underground.
And you may ask yourself
What is that beautiful house?
And you may ask yourself
Where does that highway go?
And you may ask yourself
Am I right? ...am I wrong?
And you may tell yourself
My god!...what have I done?
Letting the days go by/let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by/water flowing underground
Into the blue again/in the silent water
Under the rocks and stones/there is water underground.
Letting the days go by/let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by/water flowing underground
Into the blue again/after the moneys gone
Once in a lifetime/water flowing underground.
Same as it ever was...same as it ever was...same as it ever was...
Same as it ever was...same as it ever was...same as it ever was...
Same as it ever was...same as it ever was...
Something about you
That makes me feel bad
I wasn’t there when a thin line
Destroyed your soul
I search every corner
There’s nowhere to hide
How I feel ignorance
Sacrifice some days it’s harder
Let’s face it, it’s all about me
Deeply into your own
Deep within me
Life’s crawling and wasting my days
Another night gone and I know there will be another way
I’m leading myself to be free in this eternal goodbye
Something about you
Will make me stronger
Now I’m aware when a man falls
Rebound, my fault
I search every corner
There’s nowhere to hide
How I feel ignorance
Sacrifice some days it’s harder
Let’s face it, it’s all about me
Deeply into your own
Deep within me
Life’s crawling and wasting my days
Another night gone and I know there will be another way
I’m leading myself to be free in this eternal goodbye, goodbye
Here I wanna be (no more lies)
Here I wanna be (no more lies)
Here I wanna be, here I wanna be (no more lies)
Here I wanna be (no more lies)
Here I wanna be
Deep within me
Life’s crawling and wasting my days
Another night gone and I know there will be another way
I’m leading myself to be free in this eternal goodbye, goodbye
Deep within me
Life’s crawling and wasting my days
Another night gone and I know there will be another way
I’m leading myself to be free in this eternal goodbye
City and Colour - Sleeping Sickness
I awoke
Only to find my lungs empty
And through the night
So it seems I’m not breathing
And now my dreams are nothing like they were meant to be
And I’m breaking down, I think I’m breaking down
And I’m afraid
To sleep because of what haunts me
Such as living with the uncertainty
That I’ll never find the words to say
Which would completely explain
Just how I’m breaking down
[Chorus]
Someone come and, someone come and save my life
Maybe I’ll sleep when I am dead
But now it’s like the night is taking sides
With all the worries that occupy the back of my mind
Could it be this misery will suffice?
[Gordon Downie]
I’ve become
A simple souvenir of someone’s kill
And like the sea
I’m constantly changing from calm to ill
Madness fills my heart and soul as if the great divide could swallow me whole
oh, how I’m breaking down
[Chorus]
oooohhh my life
Someone come and, someone come and save my life (save my life)
Someone come and, someone come and save my life (save my life)
Someone come and, someone come and save my life
Could it be this misery will suffice?
