I thought this would be a nice place for a Favorite Poetic Lyrics thread, but since all lyrics are poetry in different styles and different forms (some better than others) I think all "Favorite" lyrics will apply. This one's "from the binder" so 1999ish
My friends are so depressed I feel the question Of your loneliness Confide... `cause Ill be on your side You know I will, you know I will X girlfriend called me up Alone and desperate On the prison phone They want... to give her 7 years For being sad Chorus : I love all of you Hurt by the cold So hard and lonely too When you dont know yourself My friends are so distressed And standing on The brink of emptiness No words... I know of to express This emptiness Chorus : Imagine me taught by tragedy Release is peace I heard a little girl And what she said Was something beautiful To give... your love No matter what ~Red Hot Chili Peppers

This one is also "from the binder" but it was an old favorite by 1999. New blood joins this earth, And quickly he's subdued. Through constant pain; disgrace, The young boy learns their rules. With time the child draws in, This whipping boy done wrong. Deprived of all his thoughts, The young man struggles on, and on he's known. A vow unto his own, That never from this day, His will they'll take away. What I've felt, What I've known, Never shined through in what I've shown. Never be, Never see, Won't see what might have been. What I've felt, What I've known, Never shined through in what I've shown. Never free, Never me, So I dub thee unforgiven. They dedicate their lives, To running all of his. He tries to please them all, This bitter man he is. Throughout his life the same, He's battled constantly, This fight he cannot win. A tired man they see no longer cares. The old man then prepares, To die regretfully. That old man here is me. What I've felt, What I've known, Never shined through in what I've shown. Never be, Never see, Won't see what might have been. What I've felt, What I've known, Never shined through in what I've shown. Never free, Never me, So I dub thee unforgiven. (Instrumental Solo) What I've felt, What I've known, Never shined through in what I've shown. Never be, Never see, Won't see what might have been. What I've felt, What I've known, Never shined through in what I've shown. Never free, Never me, So I dub thee unforgiven. Never free, Never me, So I dub thee unforgiven. You labeled me, I'll label you. So I dub the unforgiven. Never free, Never me, So I dub thee unforgiven. You labeled me, I'll label you. So I dub the unforgiven. ~Moll-uh--I mean-- Metallica

When I wasn't alternating between Metallica and the Hatchet (just KIDDING) I had about 3 Christian music c.d.s that I liked to listen to back then (from the binder). Dull as dirt you can't assert the kinda light that might persuade a strict dictator to retire fire the army, teach the poor origami the truth is in the proof is when you hear your heart start asking What's my motivation? And try as you may there isn't a way to explain the kinda change that would make an eskimo renounce fur that would make a vegetarian barbeque hamster unless you can trace this about-face to a certain sign
shine make em wonder whatcha got make em wish that they were not on the outside looking bored shine let it shine before all men let em see good works and then let em glorify the lord Out of the shaker and onto the plate it isn't karma it sure ain't fate that would make a deadhead sell his van that would make a schizophrenic turn in his crayons Oprah freaks and science seeks a rationale that shall excuse this strange behavior when you let it shine you will inspire the kind of entire turnaround that would make a bouncer take ballet even bouncers who arent happy but out of the glare with nowhere to turn you ain't gonna learn it on "What's my Line?" Shine make em wonder whatcha got make em wish that they were not on the outside looking bored shine let it shine before all men let em see good works and then let em glorify the lord Newsboys - Shine Lyrics
I've always been a bit concerned about the barbeque hamster line... hehe and what's with talkin' smack about Oprah and karma..? but the rest is fun.

And more Christian... Amy Grant speaking to God, "Love"...I have found a perfect mystery Love has a hold on me Long before my life had come to be Love had a hold on me Love has a hold on me Where do I come from What does life mean Is it not to know the one who made me As Im looking down the road ahead Love has a hold on me Someday when I breathe my dying breath Love has a hold on me Love has a hold on me Where will I go When this life is through Back into the light that made me and you Love has a hold on me Something opened up my eyes to see Love has a hold on me Love has a hold on me I don't have answers to all the questions Running inside of my mind But I can't help believe that Understanding comes in time Love has a hold on me Something opened up my eyes to see Love has a hold on me Love has a hold on me If I run, if I hide, I know inside Your love has a hold on me Tell me yes, tell me no, my heart will follow Your love has a hold on me If I run, if I hide Your love has a hold on me Your love has a hold on me Your love has a hold on me Hold on me IP: Logged |

This was my favorite "love" song of hers back then...In our times of trouble We only had ourselves Nobody else No one there to save us We had to save ourselves And when the storms came through They found me and you Back to back together And when the sun would shine It was yours and mine Yours and mine forever Chorus: And oh how the years go by And oh how the love brings tears to my eyes All through the changes the soul never dies We fight, we laugh, we cry As the years go by There were times we stumbled They thought they had us down But we came around How we rolled and rambled We got lost and we got found Now were back on solid ground We took everything All our times would bring In this world of dangers cause when your heart is strong You know youre not alone In this world of strangers (repeat chorus) And if we lose our way Any night or day Well we'll always be Where we should be I'm there for you And I know youre there for me (repeat chorus twice) As the years go by IP: Logged |

This was my favorite love song at the time Haven't we been here before Footsteps lead down to the note on the door That says I can't stay here anymore
And haven't we felt this same way Sure in our hearts, but afraid just the same To say I can't stay one minute more You might think that it's hopeless Beyond our control But that's not necessarily so Can't you see there's a chance For the daring young soul Who's finally learned to say no No, I won't be misused Ignored or abused And I won't just give up and let go So tonight hold me close to you And don't give up what's important to you And as time rolls on Nothing can stand in our way And I I believe if we learn from the past We'd say Haven't we been here before? And I I believe if we open our hearts We'd find keys to unlock every door Dark would turn into light We'd be strong We'd be right (guitar) So tonight hold me close to you And don't give up what's important to you And as time rolls on Nothing will stand in our way And I believe if we learn from the past We'd say haven't we been here before Oh, and I believe if we open our hearts We'd find keys to unlock every door Hearts could change overnight (don't say no) We'd be strong...We'd be right So stay with me now The future is ours And we'll be the ones who go on ~Tommy Shaw

The other Newsboys song I liked (from the old binder like all of the above)Newsboys - Spirit Thing Lyrics It's not a family trait, it's nothing that I ate, and it didn't come from skating with Holy Rollers,
It's an early warning sign, it keeps my life in line, but it's so hard to define, Nevermind... (Chorus) It's just a spirit thing, it's just a holy nudge, it's like a circuit judge in the brain. It's just a spirit thing, it's here to guard my heart, it's just a little hard to explain. It pushes when i quit, it smells a counterfit, Sometimes it works a bit like a teleprompter... When it's telepromting you, I pray you'll let it through, And I'll help you with the how, But for now... It's just a spirit thing, it's just a holy nudge, it's like a circuit judge in the brain. It's just a spirit thing, it's here to guard my heart, it's just a little hard to explain. I took the pulpit, then backed down again, Some things in heaven cannot be explained. I took the soapbox then backed down again some things in heaven cannot be explained no they can not be explained... yeah It's just a spirit thing, it's just a holy nudge, it's like a circuit judge in the brain. It's just a spirit thing, it's here to guard my heart, it's just a little hard to explain... It's just a spirit thing... IP: Logged |

My third and ABSOLUTE FAVORITE Christian music c.d. was performer Kim Boyce. I loved pretty much every one of her songs and I still listen to her c.d. Here is one of the top 3 favorites, my other favorite was By Faith, and my third favorite is about having a child. Somebody's down to their last dime, Somebody's running out of time, Not too far from here
Somebody's got nowhere else to go Somebody needs a little hope Not too far from here And I may not know their name But I'm praying just the same That You'll use me Lord to wipe away a tear 'Cause somebody's crying Not too far from here Somebody's troubled and confused Somebody's got nothing left to lose Not too far from here Somebody's forgotten how to trust Somebody's dying for love Not too far from here It may be a stranger's face But I'm praying for Your grace To move in me and take away the fear 'Cause somebody's hurting Not too far from here Help me, Lord, not to turn away from pain Help me not to rest while those around me weep Give me Your strength and compassion When somebody finds the road of life too steep Now, I'm letting down my guard And I'm opening my heart Help me speak your love to every needful ear Jesus is waiting Not too far from here Jesus is waiting Not too far from here IP: Logged |

ahh those were the days when THESE lyrics were considered "dark" they've got nothin on Manson and Korn But actually my "favorite" lyrics from Tw.S.(back in jr. high or early high school or whenever it was that Michael Jackson (Virgo) had to turn over my love and attention to "heavy metal"... ) were Street Justice. The song is actually quite powerful and reminds me of the "graphic" story I told about the little girl being hurt, so I will skip the "graphic" lyrics to that song. "Many of the band's songs explore themes of parent vs. child conflicts and criticisms of the educational system." ~ so sayeth Wikipedia Although that isn't what Street Justice was about... Had to look up the lead singer's name, Dee Snider. He did a movie related to Street Justice and the into song to Street Justice (Captain Howdy), which creeps me out too much to bring to mind. Wiki says he wrote, directed and starred in "Strangeland" which has the same theme as both of those songs. He seems to be quite the activist when it comes to bringing "stranger danger" issues to light... pulling no punches in his delivery of course. Listening to Street Justice still makes me cry. Its no use posting the lyrics anyway, the full effect is to listen to both songs. The emotive delivery combined with the power of the instruments is what really makes it a work of art.

Beautiful Loser Words and music by bob seger He wants to dream like a young man
With the wisdom of an old man. He wants his home and security, He wants to live like a sailor at sea. Beautiful loser, where you goona fall? You realize you just cant have it all. Hes your oldest and your best friend,
If you need him, hell be there again. Hes always willing to be second best, A perfect lodger, a perfect guest. Beautiful loser, read it on the wall And realize, you just cant have it all. ...you cant have it all, you cant have it all, Oh, oh, ... cant have it all. Hell never make any enemies,
He wont complain if hes caught in a freeze. Hell always ask, hell always say please. Beautiful loser, never take it all
cause its easier, faster when you fall, You just dont need it all Oh, oh, ... you just dont need it all.

Say your prayers little one Dont forget, my son To include everyoneTuck you in, warm within Keep you free from sin Till the sandman he comes Sleep with one eye open Gripping your pillow tight Exit light Enter night Take my hand Off to never never land Somethings wrong, shut the light Heavy thoughts tonight And they arent of snow white Dreams of war, dreams of liars Dreams of dragons fire And of things that will bite Sleep with one eye open Gripping your pillow tight Exit light Enter night Take my hand Off to never never land Now I lay me down to sleep Pray the lord my soul to keep If I die before I wake Pray the lord my soul to take Hush little baby, dont say a word And never mind that noise you heard Its just the beast under your bed, In your closet, in your head Exit light Enter night Grain of sand Exit light Enter night Take my hand Were off to never never land ~Metallica

Hey Steve...I heard this song in the car today and it reminded me of the story/experience you wrote down and shared. It was the first piece of your writing I had ever read. I was immediately convinced of your intelligence, wisdom, perception, and sensitivity. Here are the lyrics: JAMES BLUNT LYRICS "You're Beautiful" My life is brilliant. My life is brilliant. My love is pure. I saw an angel. Of that I'm sure. She smiled at me on the subway. She was with another man. But I won't lose no sleep on that, 'Cause I've got a plan. You're beautiful. You're beautiful. You're beautiful, it's true. I saw your face in a crowded place, And I don't know what to do, 'Cause I'll never be with you. Yeah, she caught my eye, As we walked on by. She could see from my face that I was, Flying high, [ - video/radio edited version] ******* high, [ - CD version] And I don't think that I'll see her again, But we shared a moment that will last till the end. You're beautiful. You're beautiful. You're beautiful, it's true. I saw your face in a crowded place, And I don't know what to do, 'Cause I'll never be with you. You're beautiful. You're beautiful. You're beautiful, it's true. There must be an angel with a smile on her face, When she thought up that I should be with you. But it's time to face the truth, I will never be with you. Not the exact same story... but reminded me. I love it when art reminds me of art and life reminds me of art and art reminds me of life. Signs signs everywhere are signs... in a good/non-fing up the scenery kind of way. And nothing like a moon in Leo and Merc in Cancer, combined with a lazy summer afternoon to make music sound sooooo good.

Slip inside the eye of your mind Don't you know you might find A better place to play You said that you'd never been But all the things that you've seen Will slowly fade awaySo I start a revolution from my bed 'Cause you said the brains I had went to my head Step outside the summertime's in bloom Stand up beside the fireplace Take that look from off your face You ain't ever gonna burn my heart out And so Sally can wait, she knows it's too late as we're walking on by Her soul slides away, but don't look back in anger I heard you say Take me to the place where you go Where nobody knows, if it's night or day. Please don't put your life in the hands Of a Rock 'n Roll band Who'll throw it all away I'm gonna start the revolution from my bed 'Cos you said the brains I had went to my head Step outside cos summertime's in bloom Stand up beside the fireplace Take that look from off your face Cos you ain't ever gonna burn my heart out And So Sally can wait, she knows it's too late as she's walking on by. My soul slides away, but don't look back in anger I heard you say So Sally can wait, she knows it's too late as we're walking on by Her soul slides away, but don't look back in anger I heard you say And So Sally can wait, she knows it's too late and she's walking on by My soul slides away, but don't look back in anger, don't look back in anger I heard you say At least not today. ~Oasis

Did you not realize This thing inside of me It screams the loudest sound Sometimes I think I could Burn I look down from at where you're standing Flock of sheep out on display With all your lies bumped up around you I can take it all away Something inside of me Has opened up its eyes Why did you put it there? Did you not realize Something inside of me It screams the loudest sound Sometimes I think I could I'm gonna burn this whole world down I never was a part of you Burn I was a soldier I am corruption I am the agent Of your destruction I am perversion Sick with desire I am your future Swallowed up in fire ~NIN from the Soundtrack to Natural Born Killers IP: Logged |

Fleetwood Mac Album- RUMORS Planets of the Universe The bright light is lying down The earth and the sea and the sky Is at rest with the ocean And the days go by They go into the seas that have no shores... Haunted by that same closed door... Looking up at skies on fire... Leaving nothing left of us... To discover... And the planets of the universe Go their way Not astounded by the sun or the moon Or by the day You and I will simply disappear Out of sight Ooh, but I'm afraid soon there'll be No light No doubt, no pain Come ever again, well let there be light in this lifetime In the cool silent moments Of the nighttime. Of the nighttime And the planets of the universe Go their way Not astounded by the sun or the moon Or by the day We will never change again The way that we are changing Well you forget the chill of love, but not the strain Now I know Well, I was wrong to live for a dream If I had my life to live over I would never dream, no I still wish you gone And I will live alone Yes, I will live alone And the planets of the universe go their way I know you don't believe it Not astounded by the soon or moon or day I know you don't believe it You and I will simply disappear out of sight Well, but I'm afraid soon there'll be no light You will never love again the way you love me You will never rule again the way you've ruled me You will never change again the way you're changing You will never rule again the way you've ruled me IP: Logged |

You wait, wanting this world To let you in And you stand there A frozen light In dark and empty streets And you smile hiding behind A God-given face And I know you're so much more Everything they ignore Is all I need to seeAnd you're the only one I ever believed in The answer that could never be found The moment you decided to let love in And now I'm banging on the door of an angel The end of fear is where we begin The moment we decided to let love in I wish Wishing for you to find your way And I'll hold on for all you need That's all we need to say I'll take my chances while You take your time with This game you play But I can't control your soul You need to let me know You leaving or you gonna stay You're the only one I ever believed in The answer that could never be found The moment you decided to let love in Now I'm banging on the door of an angel The end of fear is where we begin The moment we decided to let love in There's nothing we can do about The things we have to do without The only way to feel again Is let love in There's nothing we can do about The things we have to live without The only way to see again Is let love in hear me wanting this world to let you in You're the only one I ever believed in The answer that could never be found The moment you decided to let love in Now I'm banging on the door of an angel The end of fear is where we begin The moment we decided to let love in The moment we decided to let love in The moment we decided to let love in ~goo goo dolls IP: Logged |

And I'd give up forever to touch you, Cause I know that you feel me somehow. You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be, And I don't want to go home right now.And all I can taste is this moment, And all I can breathe is your life, And sooner or later it's over, I just don't want to miss you tonight. And I don't want the world to see me, Cause I don't think that they'd understand. When everything's made to be broken, I just want you to know who I am. And you cant fight the tears that ain't coming, Or the moment of the truth in your lies. When everything feels like the movies, Yeah you bleed just to know you're alive. And I don't want the world to see me, 'Cause I don't think that they'd understand. When everything's made to be broken, I just want you to know who I am. And I don't want the world to see me, Cause I don't think that they'd understand. When everything's made to be broken, I just want you to know who I am. And I don't want the world to see me, Cause I dont think that they'd understand. When everything's made to be broken, I just want you to know who I am. I just want you to know who I am.

And even though the moment's passed me by I still cant turn away I saw the dreams you never thought you'd lose Tossed along the way Letters that you never meant to send Lost and thrown awayAnd now we are grown up orphans that never knew their names We dont belong to no one thats a shame You could hide beside me Maybe for a while And I won't tell no one your name.. And I won't tell your name Scars are souvenirs you'll never lose Past is never far Did you lose yourself somewhere out there? Did you get to be a star? Don't it make you sad to know that life Is more than who we are? We grew up way too fast Now there's nothing to believe And re-runs all become our history A tired song keeps playin on a tired radio And I won't tell no one your name... And I won't tell your name I won't tell your name...I won't tell your name I think about you all the time I don't need the same... It's lonely where you are, come back down And I won't tell your name ~goo goo dolls

I look outside my window Everything was blanketed in white The neighbors pushing cars out From snow that fell on us last night Started thinking 'bout The things we used to do when we were young Back when things were simple And getting up was fun I couldn't care, 'cause I'm already there I'm already there, and I'm ready there
Turn around and face the clock I'd sit and watch, as time went hoppin' by I'm still growing up My friends are growing old before my eyes Count the stars above Wonder when the heavens will subside Knowing our two worlds Will someday just collide
I couldn't care, 'cause I'm already there. I'm already there, and I'm ready there
Just a boy who's young at heart His smile was a bit like yours today Had a wife, a kid, some strife Never had to go astray Happiness evolved Life was in full swing At 17, all the things he wanted Were things he'd never seen
It don't seem fair, cuz I'm already there I'm already there, and I'm ready there

And you asked me what I want this year and I'll try to make this kind and clear just a chance that maybe we'll find better days 'cause I don't need boxes wrapped in strings and designer love and empty things just a chance that maybe we'll find better daysSo take these words and sing out loud 'cause everyone's forgiven now 'cause tonight's the night the world begins again I need some place simple where we could live and something only you could give and that's faith and trust and peace while we're alive and the one poor child who saved this world and there's ten million more who probably could if we all just stopped and said a prayer for them So take these words and sing out loud 'cause everyone's forgiven now 'cause tonight's the night the world begins again I wish everyone was loved tonight and somehow stop this endless fight just a chance that maybe we'll find better days So take these words and sing out loud 'cause everyone's forgiven now 'cause tonight's the night the world begins again 'cause tonight's the night the world begins again ~goo goo dolls

Someone sent me the link to this video tonight and I had forgotten how much I loved this song as a teen. Made me feel like a teenager again. The lyrics are a little lame, but I still love it. (what the heck does "touching heat freezing on my skin" mean? "just can't stand up for falling apart"?) Another night slowly closes in, And I feel so lonely. Touching heat freezing on my skin, I pretend you still hold me. I'm going crazy, I'm losing sleep. I'm in too far, I'm in way too deep over you. I can't believe you're gone. You were the first, you'll be the last.
Wherever you go, I'll be with you. Whatever you want, I'll give it to you. Whenever you need someone to lay your heart and head upon. Remember: after the fire, after all the rain, I will be the flame. I will be the flame. Watching shadows move across the wall, feels so frightning. I wanna run to you, I wanna call, But I've been hit by lightning Just can't stand up for fallin' apart. Can't see through this veil across my heart, over you. You'll always be the one. You were the first, you'll be the last. Wherever you go, I'll be with you. Whatever you want, I'll give it to you. Whenever you need someone to lay your heart and head upon. Remember: after the fire, after all the rain, I will be the flame. I will be the flame. I'm going crazy, I'm losing sleep. I'm in too far, I'm in way too deep over you. You'll always be the one. You were the first, you'll be the last. Wherever you go, I'll be with you. Whatever you want, I'll give it to you. Whenever you need someone to lay your heart and head upon. Remember: after the fire, after all the rain, I will be the flame. I will be the flame. Whatever you want, I'll give it to you. Wherever you go, I'll be with you. And whatever you want, I'll give it to you. Words and Music by Bob Mitchell and Nick Graham
