For those of you who have been on the Pulse for a while, you know that I'm a music junkie (No...I didn't steal Peaceful's opening line. What would make you think that? [
] )
So anyway, I have been on this techno kick for a while, but the stuff that really hits home is a band that many people know for their hit song "Kryptonite". That's right - 3 Doors Down! They have some of the greatest lyrics I have ever heard. (If you didn't know, I tend to memorize every part of songs: the bass, the acoustic, the beat, the lyrics, etc.) Here's the list of lyrics I've been meaning to share for a LONG time somewhere. When I heard these songs the first time I almost cried. :X No i didn't.
By the way these are all off their latest album "Away from the Sun"
Track 1 - When I'm Gone
There's another world inside of me that you may never see.
There's secrets in this life that I can't hide.
Somewhere in this darkness there's a life that I can't find.
Maybe it's too far away or maybe I'm just blind, maybe I'm just blind.
*chorus*
So hold me when I'm here, Right me when I'm wrong
Hold me when I'm scared, And love me when I'm gone
Everything I am, And everything in me
Wants to be the one you wanted me to be
I'll never let you down, Even if I could
I'd give up everything, If only for your good
So hold me when I'm here, Right me when I'm wrong
Hold me when I'm scared, You won't always be there
So love me when I'm gone...
Love me when I'm gone
They actually went to an aircraft carrier to play this song to the men and women out protecting our country and made it their music video. That's exactly what this song is about. Missing someone while they are gone.
Track 2 - Away From The Sun
*chorus*
'Cause now again I've found myself so far down,
Away from the sun that shines into the darkest place
I'm so far down,
Away from the sun that shines the life away from me
To find my way back into the arms that care about the ones like me
I'm so far down, away from the sun again.
This song is about getting out of a pit of shame you dug yourself into. The sunlight could represent a friend coming to help you out of this time in your life. I guess. I'm no good at this.
Track 3 - The Road I'm On
She said life's a lot to think about sometimes
When you're living inbetween the lines
And all of the stars they sparkle and shine everyday
He said life's so hard to move in sometimes
When it feels like I'm towin' the line
And no one even cares to ask me why I feel this way
*chorus*
I know you feel helpless now and I know you feel alone.
That's the same road, the same road, that I'm on.
This song is meant to explain that everybody has the same problems in this world, no matter who they are. The video for this has nothing to do with that at ALL!
Track 4 - Ticket To Heaven
I'm walkin' a wire feels like a thousand ways I could fall
To want is to buy but to live is to die and it can't take it all
When everything is said and done I won't have one thing left
What happened to everything that I've ever known?
*chorus*
Cause all they gave me was this ticket to heaven
But that ticket to heaven said to lie in the bed that you make
Now I'm restless and I'm running from everything
I'm running from everything
I'm afraid it's a little too late
Soft voices lie and innocence dies, now ain't that a shame
Then all of your dreams, and all your money they don't mean a thing
When everything is said and done you wont have one thing left
What happened to everything that I've ever known?
I really have no idea what this song means. Any thoughts?
Track 5 - Runnin' Out of Days
There's too much work and I'm spent
There's too much pressure and I'm bent
I've got no time to move ahead
Have you heard one thing that I've said
*chorus*
All these little things in life
They all create this haze
There's too many things to get done
And I'm running out of days
I can't last here for long
I feel this current it's so strong
It gets me further down the line
It gets me closer to the light
Gotta finish stuff in life before it's too late. That's basically it.
Track 6 - Here Without You
A hundred days have made me older, since the last time that I saw your pretty face.
A thousand lies have made me colder, and I don't think I can look at this the same.
All the miles that separate, disappear now when I'm dreamin' of your face.
*chorus*
I'm here without you baby, but you're still on my lonely mind.
I think about you baby, and I dream about you all the time.
I'm here without you baby, but you're still with me in my dreams.
And tonight, it's only you and me.
Same thing with When I'm Gone. It's a song about someone you haven't seen in a long time. This is the song I love the most. I like singin it
Track 7 - I Feel You
*chorus*
And what do I get to get me through the sleepless nights?
And what do I have to hold when no one's there to hold me tight?
And what do I see the only thing that gets me through this?
Is what I feel, and I feel you.
This ain't no bed of nails, but there not roses just the same.
But God this road sure can be long.
Another endless day another seven hundred miles, will take me further from my home.
Another song about missing someone. Or maybe about something in your life you have to deal with but have nobody to rely on to get you through it.
Track 8 - Dangerous Game
You stand before me now we stare eye to eye
Before another second clicks away one of us will die.
You reach for your metal as I reach for mine
The sound of bullets flyin' through the air, is followed by a cry
And they're cryin'
*chorus*
What will we do? What will we say?
When is the end of this game that we play?
Will we crumble into the dust my friend?
Or will we start this game over again?
The young man lays alone but fastened to the ground
The sound of fleeing feet and a cryin' eye will be his last sound.
What did we gain from all of this now? Was it worth a life?
We've thrown all our hopes away and set our dreams aside.
Now we're cryin'
For all I can tell, this song is about petty squabbles between people, and how they solve nothing. Seems like a good way to explain it too. Especially "What did we gain from all this now? Was it worth a life?"
Track 9 - Changes
I'm not supposed to be scared of anything, but I don't know where I am.
I wish that I could move but I'm exhausted, and nobody understands (how i feel).
I'm tryin' hard to breathe now, but there's no air in my lungs.
There's no one here to talk to, and the pain inside is making me numb.
I try to hold this under control, they can't help me, cause no one knows.
*chorus*
Now I'm goin' through changes, changes.
God, I feel so frustrated lately.
When I get suffocated, save me.
Now I'm goin' through changes, changes.
Feelin' weak and weary, walkin' through this world alone.
Everything they say every word of it, cuts me to the bone, (and I bleed).
I've got something to say, but now I've got nowhere to turn
It feels like I've been buried, underneath all the weight of the world.
Wow. The first time I heard this song I actually thought of the Hulk. It sounds like the perfect theme song to that. Just get it. You'll see. I love this song so very very much.
Track 10 - Goin' Down in Flames
Don't tell me what to think, 'cause I don't care this time.
Don't tell me what to believe, 'cause you won't be there.
Catch me when I fall, but you'll need me when I'm not here at all
Miss me when I'm gone, again.
*chorus*
I'm goin' down in flames
I'm fallin' into this again
I'm goin' down in flames
I'm fallin' into this again
Don't tell me how life is, 'cause I don't really ever wanna know.
Don't tell me how this game ends, 'cause we'll just see how it goes.
Catch me when I fall, or you'll need me when I'm not here at all
Miss me when I'm gone, again.
Friendship? I dunno. Maybe someone saves somebody else in more ways than one. That's at least what I think. There's 2 more songs on the album which don't really do it for me. So I didn't post them.
I hope you liked all that. Feel free to post the lyrics that you like the most. Multiple songs if you wish. Hey who am I to prevent you from posting what you want. Whee.
Peace Out YAAL!
