Favorite Lyrics!

[Squeek]

HEY!  Squeek here AGAIN!  This time... it's another Linkin Park song... Didn't I ever tell you how much I love this band?!  

SO, after i posted the lyrics for "dedicated", i HAD to get more and more songs that aren't released on albums... this search yielded a website with a bunch of their songs LIVE in concert, but also some songs that I never heard of on an album called "Hybrid Theory EP"  Apparently there's a second album to hybrid theory that I never knew of.  ANYWAY, I got most of the songs on that album, and they're all great... But the one that stands out is "PART OF ME"

Linkin Park - Part of Me

Part of me won't go away, everyday reminded how much I hate it.
Weighted against the consequences, can't live without it so it's senseless.
Wanna cut it out of my soul, and just live with a gaping hole.
Take control of my life, and wash out all the burnt taste.
I made the problems in the first place; hang my head low 'cause it's part of me.
Ya hardly see right next to the heart of me.
Heard of me the routine scar, new cuts cover where the old ones are.
And now I'm sick of this, I can't stand the sandpaper thoughts that grade on my sanity.
I rather not even be then the man that's staring in the mirror through me.

Cut myself free willingly, Stop just what's killing me.
Cut myself free willingly, Stop just what's killing me.
Cut myself free willingly, Stop just what's killing me.
Cut myself free willingly, Stop just what's killing me.

I feel it everyday,
I feel I made my way.
I feel it swell up inside, swell up inside
Swallowing me...

Freedom can be frightening if you've never felt it...

Once it's been dealt with you feel like you've been touched by something angelic,
And then melted down into a pool of peace, cease to be the animal you used to be.
Remove the broken parts you know were wrong, and feel the calm when the problem's all gone.
And then you start to see another piece of yourself that you can't let be.
Memories of last fight to free yourself, take it to the depths of the bottom of the well.
And now you know you can choose to lose the part in your heart where your insides bruise.
You can live if you're willing to, put a stop to just what's killing you.

Cut myself free willingly, Stop just what's killing me.
Cut myself free willingly, Stop just what's killing me.
Cut myself free willingly, Stop just what's killing me.
Cut myself free willingly, Stop just what's killing me.

I feel it everyday,
I feel I made my way.
I feel it swell up inside, swell up inside
Swallowing me...

(Alive in me, inside of me, a part of me screams away silently  
This part of me won't go away, part of me won't go away.)

(Everywhere I look around I see how everyone ought to be
Every time I see myself I see there's always something wrong with me.)

I feel it everyday,
I feel I made my way.
I feel it swell up inside, swell up inside
Swallowing me...
I feel it everyday,
I feel I made my way.
I feel it swell up inside, swell up inside
Swallowing me...
I feel it swell up inside, swell up inside, swallowing me...
I feel it swell up inside, swell up inside, swallowing me...

MAN this song is AWESOME.  (Look at the highlighted words.  Good lyrics  )

~Squeek

PS - Just realized some of the lyrics were WRONG!  Man that sucks.  They're corrected now.

[lateralus897]

I'm gonna post some lyrics from Dredg. Not a very big name, but they have some of the most inspiring music I've ever listened to. This is from the album "El Cielo," which would be my recommendation to check out. It's a concept album on cases of sleeping paralysis, but there's always something a little more behind their songs. This is the song I'd recommend anyone to download:

SAME OL' ROAD

Here we go down that same old road again,
Sympathy unfolds the shell that holds,
All beauty within,
Here we go down that same old road again,

A memory, a regret, a hope...  

Here we go down that same old road again,
Empathy controls the wind that blows,
And tickles our skin,

A memory, a regret, a hope, a stimulant...

Recent it seems, we must push on,
We must push on, though we bleed,
We must push on, we must push on...

All you need is a modest house in a modest neighborhood,
In a modest town where honest people dwell.
Making the cleanest energy,
For the greenest plants to grow,
In the richest soil that is drenched,
With the freshest rain,
Then you should sit in your backyard,
Watch clouds peak over the tallest mountain tops,
Because they unveil honest opinions about the stars.  

We must push on, recent it seems,
We must push on, we must push on,
Though we bleed, we must push on, we must push on...  

All you need is a modest house in a modest neighborhood

Ah, music.  Capable of stirring up so many emotions.  Anyways, I got three songs here from Linkin Park's most recent album that Squeek may or may not have gotten yet. []  All copied and pasted directly from LPs website.

Nobody's Listening

peep the style and the kids checking for it
the number one question is how could you ignore it
we drop right back in the cut
over basement tracks
with raps that got you backing this up like
[rewind that]
we're just rolling with the rhythm
rise from the ashes of stylistic division
with these non-stop lyrics of life living
not to be forgotten
but still unforgiven
but in the meantime there are those who wanna
talk this and that / so i suppose
that it gets to a that point feelings gotta get hurt
and get dirty with the people spreading the dirt
[it goes]
try to give you warning
but everyone ignores me
[told you everything loud and clear]
but nobody's listening
call to you so clearly
but you don't want to hear me
[told you everything loud and clear]
but nobody's listening

i got a
heart full of pain / head full of stress
handful of anger / held in my chest
and everything left is a waste of time
i hate my rhymes
[but hate everyone else's more]
i'm riding on the back of this pressure
guessing that it's better
that i can't keep myself together
because all of this stress
gave me something to write on
the pain gave me something i could set my sights on
you never forget the blood sweat and tears
the uphill struggle over years
the fear and trash talking
and the people it was to
and the people that started it
just like you

i got a
heart full of pain / head full of stress
handful of anger / held in my chest
uphill struggle / blood sweat and tears
nothing to gain / everything to fear

[coming at you]




Breaking the Habit

memories consume
like opening the wound
i'm picking me apart again
you all assume
i'm safe here in my room
[unless i try to start again]
i don't want to be the one
the battles always choose
cause inside i realize
that i'm the one confused

i don't know what's worth fighting for
or why i have to scream
i don't know why i instigate
and say what i don't mean
i don't know how i got this way
i know it's not alright
so i'm
breaking the habit
tonight

clutching my cure
i tightly lock the door
i try to catch my breath again
i hurt much more
than anytime before
i had no options left again

i'll paint it on the walls
cause i'm the one at fault
i'll never fight again
and this is how it ends

i don't know what's worth fighting for
or why i have to scream
but now i have some clarity
to show you what i mean
i don't know how i got this way
i'll never be alright
so i'm
breaking the habit
breaking the habit
tonight


Faint

i am
little bit of loneliness
a little bit of disregard
a handful of complaints
but i can't help the fact
that everyone can see these scars
i am
what i want you to want
what i want you to feel
but it's like
no matter what i do
i can't convince you
to just believe this is real
so i let go
watching you
turn your back like you always do
face away and pretend that i'm not
but i'll be here
cause you're all i got
i am
a little bit insecure
a little unconfident
cause you don't understand
i do what i can
but sometimes i don't make sense
i am
what you never want to say
but i've never had a doubt
it's like no matter what i do
i can't convince you
for once just to hear me out
so i let go
watching you
turn your back like you always do
face away and pretend that i'm not
but i'll be here
cause you're all i got

i can't feel
the way i did before
don't turn your back on me
i won't be ignored
time won't heal
this damage anymore
don't turn your back on me
i won't be ignored


no
hear me out now
you're gonna listen to me
like it or not
right now



That will be all for now.  I'll probably find more later.

[Squeek]

You really didn't think I had Meteora?!  Are you MAD?!!?

I got Meteora like... the day BEFORE it came out in stores!  WITH the additional DVD.  It's all I ever listen to when I drive to school, it's the only CD EVER in my CD player...  I just never posted the lyrics!

Though, I have posted the lyrics to DEDICATED and PART OF ME.  Part of Me comes from Hybrid Theory EP, an extra album that came out before ReAnimation and after Hybrid Theory.  Never bought it... it only has 6 tracks.

If....by chance... anybody was wondering.. My favorite songs from the albums go as follows.

Hybrid Theory - Forgotten / Pushing Me Away

ReAnimation - P5ing Me A*wy / My<Dsmbr

Meteora - Breaking the Habit / Numb

Hybrid Theory EP - Part of Me

Unreleased Tracks - Dedicated

And since I'm so nice (and this IS the lyrics topic) I shall post the LYRICS to these songs (if I haven't already before).

NAVY is a verse... ORANGE is the "pre-chorus" and RED is the chorus.

FORGOTTEN

From the top to the bottom! (Bottom to top I stop)
At the core, I've forgotten! (In the middle of my thoughts)
Taken far from my safety! (The picture is there...)
The memory won't escape me! (But why should I care?)

From the top to the bottom! (Bottom to top I stop)
At the core, I've forgotten! (In the middle of my thoughts)
Taken far from my safety! (The picture is there...)
The memory won't escape me! (But why should I care?)

There's a place so dark you can't see the end, Skies cock back, and shock that which can't defend.
The rain then sends dripping; An acidic question. Forcefully, the power of suggestion.
Then with the eyes tightly shut, looking through the rust and rot and dust,
A spot of light floods the floor, and pours over the rusted world of pretend,
And the eyes ease open and it's dark again.

From the top to the bottom! (Bottom to top I stop)
At the core, I've forgotten! (In the middle of my thoughts)
Taken far from my safety! (The picture is there...)
The memory won't escape me! (But why should I care?)

In the memory you'll find me,
Eyes burning up.
The darkness holding me tightly,
Until the sun rises up.

Moving all around, screaming of the ups and downs. Pollution manifested in perpetual sound.
The wheels go 'round and the sunset creeps past the street lamps, chain-link, and concrete.
A little piece of paper with a picture drawn floats On down the street till the wind is gone.
The memory now is like the picture was then, When the paper's crumpled up it can't be perfect again.

From the top to the bottom! (Bottom to top I stop)
At the core, I've forgotten! (In the middle of my thoughts)
Taken far from my safety! (The picture is there...)
The memory won't escape me! (But why should I care?)

From the top to the bottom! (Bottom to top I stop)
At the core, I've forgotten! (In the middle of my thoughts)
Taken far from my safety! (The picture is there...)
The memory won't escape me! (But why should I care?)

In the memory you'll find me,
Eyes burning up.
The darkness holding me tightly,
Until the sun rises up.

Now you got me caught in the act, you'll bring the thought back,
I'm telling you that I see it right through you.
(7x)

In the memory you'll find me,
Eyes burning up.
The darkness holding me tightly,
Until the sun rises up.

In the memory you'll find me,
Eyes burning up.
The darkness holding me tightly,
Until the sun rises up.

Rock on.

PUSHING ME AWAY

I've lied...to you
The same way that I always do...
This is...the last smile
That I'll fake for the sake of being with you...
(Everything falls apart, even the people who never frown eventually break down)
The sacrifice of hiding in a lie....
(Everything has to end, you'll soon find we're out of time left to watch it all unwind)
The sacrifice is never knowing....

Why I never walked away?
Why I played myself this way?
Now I see, your testing me...
Pushes me away!!!

Why I never walked away?
Why I played myself this way?
Now I see, your testing me...
Pushes me away!!!

I've tried...like you
To do everything you wanted to...
This is...the last time
I'll take the blame for the sake of being with you....

(Everything falls apart, even the people who never frown eventually break down)
The sacrifice of hiding in a lie....
(Everything has to end, you'll soon find we're out of time left to watch it all unwind)
The sacrifice is never knowing....

Why I never walked away?
Why I played myself this way?
Now I see, your testing me...
Pushes me away!!!

Why I never walked away?
Why I played myself this way?
Now I see, your testing me...
Pushes me away!!!

We're all out of time! This is how we learn how it all unwinds!
The sacrifice of hiding in a lie...
We're all out of time! This is how we learn how it all unwinds!
The sacrifice is never knowing...

Why I never walked away?
Why I played myself this way?
Now I see, your testing me...
Pushes me away!!!

Why I never walked away?
Why I played myself this way?
Now I see, your testing me...
Pushes me away!!!

Pushes me away!!!

P5ING ME A*WY

When I look into your eyes, there's nothing there to see...
Nothing but my own mistakes, staring back at me....

I've lied...to you...
This is, the last smile, that I'll fake for the sake of being with you...

(Everything falls apart, even the people who never frown, eventually break down...)
(Everything has to end sometime. We're out of time left to watch it all unwind...)
For the sake of being with you...
(Everything falls apart, even the people who never frown, eventually break down...)
The sacrifice is never knowing...

Why I stayed with you,
Just push away!
No matter what you see,
You're still so blind to me!

I've tried..like you, to do everything you wanted to.
This is, the last time I'll take the blame for the sake of being with you...

We're all out of time! This is how we learn how it all unwinds!
The sacrifice of hiding in a lie...
We're all out of time! This is how we learn how it all unwinds!
The sacrifice is never knowing...

Why I stayed with you?
Just push away!
No matter what you see,
You're still so blind to me!

Reverse psychology's failing miserably
It's so hard to be, left all alone
Telling you is the only chance for me
There's nothing left but, to turn and face you

When I look into your eyes, there's nothing there to see...
Nothing but my own mistakes staring back at me...Asking...

WHY?

The sacrifice of hiding in a lie!
The sacrifice is never knowing...

Why I stayed with you?
Just push away!
No matter what you see,
You're still so blind to me!

Why I stayed with you?
Just push away!
No matter what you see,
You're still so blind to me!

Rock on again.  That one was hard to color code x.x

MY<DSMBR

This is my December, This is my time of the year...
This is my December, This is all so clear...

(Just wish that I didn't feel like there was something I missed.)
(Just wish that I didn't feel like there was something I missed.)

This is my December, This is my snow covered home...
This is my December, This is me alone...

And I; Just wish that I didn't feel like there was something I missed.
And I; Take back all the things I said to make you feel like that.
And I; Just wish that I didn't feel like there was something I missed.
And I; Take back all the things I said to make you feel like that.
And I...

Give it all away,
Just to have somewhere to go to.
Give it all away,
To have someone to come home to.

This is my December, These are my snow covered dreams.
This is me pretending, this is all I need.

And I; Just wish that I didn't feel like there was something I missed.
And I; Take back all the things I said to make you feel like that.
And I; Just wish that I didn't feel like there was something I missed.
And I; Take back all the things I said to make you feel like that.
And I...

Give it all away,
Just to have somewhere to go to.
Give it all away,
To have someone to come home to.

This is my December, This is my time of the year.
This is my December, This is all so clear.

Give it all away,
Just to have somewhere to go to.
Give it all away,
To have someone to come home to.

Give it all away,
Just to have somewhere to go to.
Give it all away,
To have someone to come home to.

Whee...  I love December

NUMB!!!!!

I'm tired of being what you want me to be,
Feeling so faithless, lost under the surface.
I don't know what you're expecting of me,
Put under the pressure, of walking in your shoes...

(Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow)
Every step that I take is another mistake to you...
(Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow)

I've become so numb, I can't feel you there.
Become so tired, so much more aware.
I'm becoming this, all I want to do,
Is be more like me, and be less like you!

Can't you see that you're smothering me?
Holding too tightly, afraid to lose control...
'Cause everything that you thought I would be,
Has fallen apart, right in front of you

(Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow)
Every step that I take is another mistake to you...
(Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow)
And every second I waste is more than I can take!!!

I've become so numb, I can't feel you there.
Become so tired, so much more aware.
I'm becoming this, all I want to do,
Is be more like me, and be less like you!

And I know, I may end up failing too!
But I know, You were just like me with someone disappointed in you!!!

I've become so numb, I can't feel you there.
Become so tired, so much more aware.
I'm becoming this, all I want to do,
Is be more like me, and be less like you!

I've become so numb, I can't feel you there.
(Tired of being what you want me to be...)
I've become so numb
(Tired of being what you want me to be...)

YEAAAAAAAAA   GO LINKIN PARK!!!

Painted on My Heart
The Cult

I thought you'd be out of my mind
And I'd finally found a way to learn to live without you
I thought it was just a matter of time
Till i had a hundred reasons not to think about you

But it's just not so
And after all this time, i still can't let go

I've still got your face
Painted on my heart
Scrawled upon my soul
Etched upon my memory, baby

I've got your kiss
Still burning on my lips
The touch of my fingertips
This love so deep inside of me, baby

I've tried everything that i can
To get my heart to forget you
But it just can't seem to

I guess it's just no use
In every part of me
Is still a part of you

And I've still got your face
Painted on my heart
Scrawled upon my soul

[Birm]

You Not Me Lyrics
Dream Theater
Falling Into Infinity

Being 'round you is driving me crazy
Watching you run is making me lazy
You're trying to buy a place in my head
Telling me lines I've already read
Speaking my name to try to confuse me
Say it again you're starting to lose me

That's alright, I'm okay
It happens every single day
It's all the same
But I'm not blind

It's all about you
Not me
It's all about the things that you're expecting me to be
There's not enough time
To live
And all that you're expecting me to give

It's all about you
Not
Me
It's all about you
Not
Me

You're building my prison brick by brick
Eating your words is making me sick
You get what you want 'cause nothing is sacred
You're reading my mind and leaving me naked
You say I gotta give before I receive it
One of these days I'll believe it

It's all about you
Not me
It's all about the things that you're expecting me to be
There's not enough time
To live
And all that you're expecting me to give

It's all about you
Not
Me
It's all about you
Not
Me


That's alright, I'm okay
It happens every single day
It's all the same
But I'm not blind

It's all about you
Not me
It's all about the things that you're expecting me to be
There's not enough time
To live
And all that you're expecting me to give

It's all about you
Not
Me
It's all about you
Not
Me
It's all about you
Not
Me

Gee, I haven't see this thread in a while. Glad it's back

Vendetta Red. Good Stuff...woot! [|)]



 "Suicide Party"


I'm turning a deaf ear
To your bloody ministries
Save it for the afterlife, honey
Cause everybody knows
The more we nurture our perversions
The more human we become
Sing, children, sing it to the sun
Struck down, I hate what you've become
Your comet catcher conned you, baby
Straight down, you'll plummet to the earth
They finally caught the killer
They found his skin beneath her nails
Squeeze him hard enough and he'll confess
We swore a solemn oath
To never disobey
But then he took our wives and kids away
Sing children, sing it to the sun
Struck down, I hate what you've become
Your comet catcher conned you, baby
Straight down you'll plummet to the earth
Faith exposes us
(Ashamed of who we are)
When they're cursing your name you'll be falling apart
Faith exposes us
(Ashamed of who we are)
When they're cursing your name you'll be falling apart
Sing children, sing it to the sun
Struck down, I hate what you've become
Your comet catcher conned you, baby
Straight down, you'll plummet to the earth

[Bob251]

Squeek: I meant the lyrics on the board, NOT the album.  'sides, I figured you already had the album by now []

Anyways, I was mulling over some of my AMVs (Anime Music Videos...what?  I like Anime) and found a good song with a good anime.

Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen

Is this the real life?
Is this just fantasy?
Caught in a landslide,
No escape from reality
Open your eyes, Look up to the skies and see,
I'm just a poor boy, I need no sympathy,
Because I'm easy come, easy go, Little high, little low,
Any way the wind blows doesn't really matter to me, to me

Mama just killed a man,
Put a gun against his head, pulled my trigger, now he's dead
Mama, life had just begun,
But now I've gone and thrown it all away
Mama, ooh, Didn't mean to make you cry,
If I'm not back again this time tomorrow,
Carry on, carry on as if nothing really matters

Too late, my time has come,
Sends shivers down my spine, body's aching all the time
Goodbye, ev'rybody, I've got to go,
Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth
Mama, ooh, I don't want to die,
I sometimes wish I'd never been born at all

I see a little silhouetto of a man,
Scaramouche, Scaramouche, will you do the Fandango
Thunderbolt and lightning, very, very fright'ning me
(Galileo) Galileo (Galileo) Galileo, Galileo figaro
Magnifico I'm just a poor boy and nobody loves me
He's just a poor boy from a poor family,
Spare him his life from this monstrosity
Easy come, easy go, will you let me go
Bismillah! No, we will not let you go
(Let him go!) Bismillah! We will not let you go
(Let him go!) Bismillah! We will not let you go
(Let me go) Will not let you go
(Let me go) Will not let you go (Let me go) Ah
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
(Oh mama mia, mama mia) Mama mia, let me go
Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me, for me, for me

So you think you can stone me and spit in my eye
So you think you can love me and leave me to die
Oh, baby, can't do this to me, baby,
Just gotta get out, just gotta get right outta here

Nothing really matters, Anyone can see,
Nothing really matters,
Nothing really matters to me

Any way the wind blows

Good song.

[PennyJean Skyler]

"Drops of Jupiter" is one of my favorite songs and here are its lyrics:

"Now that she's back in the atmosphere
With drops of Jupiter in her hair, hey, hey
She acts like summer and walks like rain
Reminds me that there's a time to change, hey, hey
Since the return from her stay on the moon
She listens like spring and she talks like June, hey, hey

Tell me did you sail across the sun
Did you make it to the Milky Way to see the lights all faded
And that heaven is overrated

Tell me, did you fall from a shooting star
One without a permanent scar
And did you miss me while you were looking for yourself out there

Now that she's back from that soul vacation
Tracing her way through the constellation, hey, hey
She checks out Mozart while she does tae-bo
Reminds me that there's a time to grow, hey, hey

Now that she's back in the atmosphere
I'm afraid that she might think of me as plain ol' Jane
Told a story about a man who was too afraid to fly so he never did land

Tell me did the wind sweep you off your feet
Did you finally get the chance to dance along the light of day
And head back to the Milky Way
And tell me, did Venus blow your mind
Was it everything you wanted to find
And did you miss me while you were looking for yourself out there

Can you imagine no love, pride, deep-fried chicken
Your best friend always sticking up for you even when I know you're wrong
Can you imagine no first dance, freeze dried romance five-hour phone conversation
The best soy latte that you ever had . . . and me

Tell me did the wind sweep you off your feet
Did you finally get the chance to dance along the light of day
And head back towards the Milky Way"

Repeat 1st Chorus

[Squeek]

Oh DUDE! How could I have forgotten?!?!

Baz Luhrmann - The Sunscreen Song

This song was directed at the class of '97...  But it was all over the radios, and I LOVED it!  [8D]  Time for you to hear the lyrics.


Ladies and Gentlemen, of the class, of '97,
Wear sunscreen.
If I could offer you only one tip for the future, sunscreen would be it.
The long-term benefits of sunscreen have been proved by scientists,
Whereas the rest of my advice has no basis more reliable than my own meandering experience.
I will dispense this advice, now.

Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth, oh never mind,
You will not understand the power and the beauty of your youth until they've faded.
But trust me, in 20 years, you will look back at photos of yourself,
And recall in a way you can't grasp now,
How much possibility lay before you,
And how fabulous you really looked.

You are not as fat as you imagine.

Don't worry about the future, or worry,
But know that worrying is as affective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing bubble gum.
The real troubles in your life are apt to be things that never crossed your worried mind;
The kind that blindsides you at 4 PM on some idle Tuesday.

Do one thing every day that scares you.

Sing.

Don't be reckless with other peoples' hearts;
Don't put up with people who are reckless with yours.

Floss.

Don't waste your time on jealousy,
sometimes you're ahead, sometimes you're behind.

The race is long, and in the end, it's only with yourself.

Remember compliments you receive, forget the insults.
If you succeed in doing this, tell me how.

Keep your old love letters;
Throw away your old bank statements.

Stretch.

Don't feel guilty if you don't know what to do with your life.
The most interesting people I know didn't know at 22,
what they wanted to do with their lives;
Some of the most interesting 40-year-olds I know still don't.

Get plenty of calcium.

Be kind to your needs,
you'll miss them when they're gone.

Maybe you'll marry, maybe you won't.
Maybe you'll have children, maybe you won't.
Maybe you'll divorce at 40,
maybe you'll dance the "Funky Chicken" on your 75th wedding anniversary.

Whatever you do, don't congratulate yourself too much,
or berate yourself either.
Your choices are half chance, so are everybody else's.

Enjoy your body. Use it every way you can,
Don't be afraid of it, or what other people think of it;
It's the greatest instrument you'll ever own.

Dance.
Even if you have nowhere to do it but your in own living room.
Read the directions even if you don't follow them.

Do not read beauty magazines, they will only make you feel ugly.

Brother and sister together we'll make it through,
Some day a spirit will take you and guide you there,
I know you've been hurting, but I've been waiting to be there for you.
And I'll be there just helping you out, whenever I can!

Get to know your parents.
You never know when they'll be gone for good.

Be nice to your siblings.
They are your best link to your past,
And the people most likely to stick with you in the future.

Understand that friends come and go,
But a precious few, who should hold on.

Work hard to bridge the gaps in geography and lifestyle,
for as the older you get, the more you need the people you knew when you were young.

Live in New York City once, but leave before it makes you hard.
Live in Northern California once, but leave before it makes you soft.

Travel.

Accept certain inaliable truths:
prices will rise,
politicians will philander,
you too will get old.
And when you do, you'll fantasize that when you were young:
prices were reasonable,
politicians were noble,
and children respected their elders.
Respect your elders.

Don't expect anyone else to support you.
Maybe you have a trust fund,
Maybe you'll have a wealthy spouse,
But you'll never know when either one might run out.

Don't mess too much with your hair,
or by the time you're 40, it will look 85.

Be careful whose advice you buy,
But, be patient with those who supply it.

Advice is a form of nostalgia.
Dispensing it is a way of wishing the past from the disposal,
wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts,
and recycling for more than it's worth...

But trust me on the sunscreen.

Brother and sister together we'll make it through,
Some day a spirit will take you and guide you there,
I know you've been hurting, but I've been waiting to be there for you.
And I'll be there just helping you out, whenever I can!

You have no idea how helpful this song can be []

Darkangel

[May 1999]

In your dream you see me clear
I have no restraint, no fear
Powerless I watched from faces I'd assumed.
My purpose set. My will defined.
Caress the air.
Embrace the skies.
Escape the sorrow and restraint of mortal cities.

Give me time I will be clear.
Given time you'll understand
What posesses me to right what you have suffered.
I'm in this mood because of scorn.
I'm in a mood for total war.
To the darkened skies once more and ever onward.

So many years I stood among
the thoughts and tears of those I served.
Among my own I was alone through my own doing.
All the years I walked unknown behind the faces I assumed.
Powerless to clear your mind of what you'd suffered.

They fall again.
They fall again.

Give me time I will be clear.
Given time you'll understand
What posesses me to right what you have suffered.
I'm in this mood because of scorn.
I'm in a mood for total war.
To the darkened skies once more and ever onward.
There is no faith in which to hide.
Even truth is filled with lies.
Doubting angels fall to walk among the living.
I'm in this mood because of scorn.
I'm in a mood for total war.
To the darkened skies once more and ever onward.

I'd only come here seeking peace.
I'd only come here seeking me.

It seems I came to leave.


Serial Killer

[January 1992]

In a face a view, through eyes this world collides.
I am voiceless in my angst and nothing can take us back to innocence.
Short, sharp, bloodlust reality.
In despair I reach for night, in water purity reigns to be resolute.
As a land we clean our minds, reap our belongings,
sow our angers and our strengths.
All too obsessed by weakness we have brought ourselves to meaninglesness.
So easy to control, bring to harm.
A gathering of fools unjustified, on a mountain.
I collect my thoughts and I rise above all that despises me.
Comprehend the ways of man and under a flag we salute or burn
there is blood on both shores.
With hardened mind I traveled, with hardened heart I conquered
a freedom so ironic, so despicable, so hipocritical.

There is anger resolute.
Rears its familiar head on the TV screen.
In a dozen bags a life was placed.
In a breath he smiled and waved.
Five minutes at a time the power held true.
Without consternation our laws are lost.
Lost to butchers, lost to child killers, lost to narcotic ritual.
Another tag, another headline.
Another smiling face shall stay 10 winters long forever.
And where are the angels to guard?
Where is the God of men and children?
He is stalking the minds of dark poor souls.
I know it's right and I know it's time for freedom:
to kill another and to kill another child of the flag till there are none left

Take a look at what you've done
and gaze upon what you've become.
Father help me to bring his end
Then to hell his soul we'll send.
The Devil take you for his needs
while children stab you and make you bleed.
You'll repent for what you've done
for raping my Daughter, raping my Son.[/blue]

Mushroomhead is another good band. They are a heavy metal mix with 9 members in the band.  www.mushroomhead.org


"The Wrist"

Acting Tragically,
In An Inept Manner
Trying To Act Like
Something Really Mattered
When I Open My Eyes
It's All Gone
Overthrown By Your Children
God Willing Shut You Down
It's Like The Closer I Get
I Start To Regret
What I've Done
A Sick Piece Of excrement,
With The Balls To Admit,
When He's Wrong
React Defiantly
I Am Someone, Someone
Might Even Fool Myself
Before I'm Done
When I Open My Eyes
It's All Gone
Overthrown By Your Children
God Willing Shut You Down
Making Believe
There's Someplace I Belong
Greedo Died By The Hand Of Solo
Amass A Fortress Of Steel
Unsure If I Can Instill My Will
Is Caving In Black
'til There's No Bringing It Back Again
Led Astray By Their Mock Sincerity
False Charity
Condemned
Chewing Insult
Inheriting Unwarranted Birthright
Crown A Scapegoat
New King Of excrement
Ignorance Is Followed
By Ignorance
Repetition Diminishing Senses
Defenseless
Crippled Libido
Greedo Died By The Hand Of Solo
When I Open My Eyes
It's All Gone
Making Believe
There's Someplace I Belong
When I Open My Eyes
It's All Gone

Before I'm Done

"The Final Act"

Wide eyed sleepers
death in motion
daylight creepers
wearing all night pain
bleeding moments
spilling over
non-existing
as they crawl out into a world that calls them real
sign the contract it's the final act
matter of fact better take a step back
relax the show must go on no one so on and so on
as if under mass hypnosis
the wide eyed sleepers
fall into mass graves
they'll feel safer in the dirt
their own opinions won't be heard
if asked could you decide what any man is worth
could you decide?

They steal it with a handshake seal it with a smile it feels
like an earthquake treats you like a child defeats you
with your mistakes leaves you in denial deceives you
in the first place lied to all the while
(backgound)
they can't see anymore how their wide eyes have made them blind in spite of themselves

"Never Let It Go"

No I'll Never Ever Let It Go
Caressing The Downfall
Out Stretched Arms
On Your Knees Crawl
Filthy And Feeling Low
Dancing In The Undertow
The Cut That Always Bleeds
But Never Shows
Everyone Crawls To Someone
Some Run
To The Puppeteer
And Volunteer
To Become One
But Who Pulls The Strings
That You Are Attached To
Who Pours The Gas
That You Are The Match To?
Strive For Perfection
And Strike With Precision
Soon It Blows Up In Your Face
And The Smoke Blurs Your Vision
But Now You're Fading Fast
Maybe Your Time Has Passed
Bound And Gagged
As Your Dragged To The Typecast
Jumping Back
And Forth And Forth And Back
Once More Oblivious
To What It Is I'm Looking For
Goodbye But I Cannot Forget It
No I'll Never Ever Let It Go

"These Filthy Hands"

Haphazardly, Tumbling Hard
Fall Right Down,
Laugh Out Loud
All In The Scheme Of Things,
We're All Looking Up Growing Tall
It's Like Pulling One Hair
You Are What You Are To Me
With Wet Fingers
In My Eyes You're A Star
Petroleum Jelly
You're Something I'll Never Be
And Watch The Rain Dance
You're Something, I'm Frightened Of
I've Got To Get Clean
The Rain Will Cleanse Me
And I've Got To Wash These Filthy Hands
Because It's All Just A Futile Plan
That'd Mean I'd Have To
Believe Again
It's Like A Career To Breathe
An Existence I Can't Conceive
Emotionless As In Slug
In My Imagined Oblivion
It's As Much Fun
As Poking At A Nerve
You Would Swear,
That I Could,
Walk And Talk
No One Wants To Fail
But No One Wants To Work
But I Doubt You Will Ever
Vocabulary Test Is Graded On A Curve
Ever Prove Enough
Smartest Kid Is Stupid
Word Is Never Heard
I Doubt You'll Ever Prove It!
I've Got To Get Clean
The Rain Will Cleanse Me
And I've Got to Wash These Filthy Hands
All These Thoughts And Feelings
Are For Naught Unappealing
So You Expect Them
To Dull And Fade
Still They Remain
Caught Waiting For The Rain
Time Devours Life
With My Soul As The Defendant
Don't Catch Me If I Fall
I May Have Jumped
You Never Know
You Don't Know Me At All

[Rob]

Ahh sweet you can read the lyrics for Life - Bush and Blair here http://www.peace-not-war.org/Music/Life/ AND listen to the song. Cant get better than that! I would post up the lyrics but they are uummmmm not suitable []

[Squeek]

*Bumped*!

Squeek again.  People were talking about re-re-re-re-re-re-bumping this topic to page 1 again, so I will.  Here's some AWESOME Linkin Park songs that aren't on an album!  NOW... Esaul is an LP song that is based off of Place for My Head.  BUT it is NOT Place for My Head.  The rest is all the other songs from Meteora...the ones that haven't been mentioned yet.  They deserve credit too []

Linkin Park - Esaùl

Riding with a head full of bodies are red, And when this x is still stuck in my head.
But misled doing the things I do would make you never wanna come back,
But an all front attack, so you could never run from that.
Being trapped in this beau, some that I never wanted to do.
But through it all you've got to see that what I want to be,
Is over the pen again letting it out of me.
In the center of the day in the dream, seeing all my thoughts.
Getting lost in between, realizing one that the way to the sea,
And the killing and again are in the head with the screams.

I wanna live in another place, where no one can say that I live for them...
(So I see that it's not meant to be for me.)
I wanna be in the energy, not with the enemy, A place for my head

We're gonna be crushed when it all falls apart
Going in the hollow, hoping that you won't know
The strain it puts to me, seeing what you've done
And consequently I've run away, just hitting again
Within the boundaries of an anguish
Want me to say this, but you're dragging me down
Lost in the chaos being tossed around

Singing again to myself, a head full of hectic
Hope that some day you'll regret this
Everything's the wrong place, the wrong time
Adding to the panic of my confine

Singing again to myself, a head full of hectic
Hope that some day you'll regret this
Everything's the wrong place, the wrong time
Adding to the panic of my confine

I wanna live in another place, where no one can say that I live for them...
(So I see that it's not meant to be for me.)
I wanna be in the energy, not with the enemy, A place for my head

You, try to take the best of me... Go away.
You, try to take the best of me... Go away.
You, try to take the best of me... Go away.
You, try to take the best of me... GO AWAY.
YOU, try to take the best of me...! GO AWAY.
YOU, try to take the best of me...! GO AWAY.
YOU, try to take the best of me...! GO AWAY.
YOU, try to take the best of me...! GO AWAY.

I wanna live in another place, where no one can say that I live for them...
(So I see that it's not meant to be for me.)
I wanna be in the energy, not with the enemy, A place for my head

Shut....... Up...... Why.........

Singing again to myself, a head full of hectic
Hope that some day you'll regret this
Everything's the wrong place, the wrong time
Adding to the panic of my confine

Singing again to myself, a head full of hectic
Hope that some day you'll regret this
Everything's the wrong place, the wrong time
Adding to the panic of my confine

Linkin Park - Don't Stay

Sometimes I, need to remember just to breathe...
Sometimes I, need you to STAY AWAY FROM ME!
Sometimes I'm, in disbelief, I didn't know....
Somehow I, need you to go!

Don't stay!
Forget our memories, forget all possibilities!
What you were changing me into (Just give me myself back, and)
Don't stay!
Forget our memories, forget all possibilities!
Take all your faithlessness with you (Just give me myself back, and)
Don't stay!

Sometimes I, feel like I trusted you too well...
Sometimes I, just feel like SCREAMING AT MYSELF!
Sometimes I'm, in disbelief, I didn't know...
Somehow I, need to be alone!

Don't stay!
Forget our memories, forget all possibilities!
What you were changing me into (Just give me myself back, and)
Don't stay!
Forget our memories, forget all possibilities!
Take all your faithlessness with you (Just give me myself back, and)
Don't stay!

I don't need you! Anymore!
I don't want to be ignored!
I don't need one more day,
of you wasting me away!

I don't need you! Anymore!
I don't want to be ignored!
I don't need one more day,
of you wasting me away!
With no apology...

Don't stay!
Forget our memories, forget all possibilities!
What you were changing me into (Just give me myself back, and)
Don't stay!
Forget our memories, forget all possibilities!
Take all your faithlessness with you (Just give me myself back, and)
Don't stay!
Don't stay!
Don't stay!

Linkin Park - From the Inside

I don't know who to trust, no surprise...
(Everyone feels so far away from me...)
Heavy thoughts sift through dust, and the lies...

Trying not to break, but I'm so tired of this deceit.
Every time I try to make myself get back up on my feet.
All I ever think about is this, all the tiring time between,
and how, trying to put my trust in you, just takes so much out of me!

Take everything from the inside, and throw it all away!
'Cause I swear, for the last time,
I won't trust myself with you!

Tension is building inside, steadily...
(Everyone feels so far away from me...)
Heavy thoughts forcing their way, out of me...

Trying not to break, but I'm so tired of this deceit.
Every time I try to make myself get back up on my feet.
All I ever think about is this, all the tiring time between,
and how, trying to put my trust in you, just takes so much out of me!

Take everything from the inside, and throw it all away!
'Cause I swear, for the last time,
I won't trust myself with you!

I won't waste myself on you!!  You! You! You!
I won't waste myself on you!!  You! You! You!

I'll...
Take everything from the inside, and throw it all away!
'Cause I swear, for the last time,
I won't trust myself with you!
Everything from the inside, and just throw it all away!
'Cause I swear, for the last time,
I won't trust myself with you! You! You! You!

Linkin Park - Hit the Floor

There are just too many times that people have have tried to look inside of me,
Wondering what I think of you, and I protect you out of courtesy.
Too many times that I've held on when I needed to push away,
Afraid to say what was on my mind, afraid to say what I need to say.
Too many things that you've said about me when I'm not around.
You think having the upper hand means you've got to keep putting me down.
But I've had too many stand-offs with you, it's about as much as I can stand.
Just wait until the upper hand is mine!

One minute you're on top! (The next you're not, watch it drop)
Making your heart stop! (Just before you hit the floor!)
One minute you're on top! (The next you're not, missed your shot)
Making your heart stop! (You think you've won)
And then it's all gone...

So many people like me put so much trust in all your lies.
So concerned with what you think to just say what we feel inside.
So many people like me walk on eggshells all day long.
All I know is that all I want is to feel like I'm not stepped on.
There are so many things you say that make me feel like you've crossed the line.
What goes up will surely fall, and I'm counting down the time.
'Cause I've had so many stand-offs with you, it's about as much as I can stand,
So I'm waiting until the upper hand is mine!

One minute you're on top! (The next you're not, watch it drop)
Making your heart stop! (Just before you hit the floor!)
One minute you're on top! (The next you're not, missed your shot)
Making your heart stop! (You think you've won)
And then it's all gone...
And then it's all gone...
And then it's all gone...
And then it's all gone...
Now it's all gone.

I know I'll never trust a single thing you say.
You knew your lies would divide us, but you lied anyway.
And all the lies have got you floating up above us all,
But what goes up has got to fall!

One minute you're on top! (The next you're not, watch it drop)
Making your heart stop! (Just before you hit the floor!)
One minute you're on top! (The next you're not, missed your shot)
Making your heart stop! (You think you've won)
And then it's all gone...
And then it's all gone...
And then it's all gone...
And then it's all gone...
Now it's all gone.

There are more, I'm just lazy.  They'll make a debut later! []

~Squeek

[Euphoric Sunrise]

Ok here's another one by a band called Death. Their lyrics aren't as violent as their name suggests. They are, however, commonly know as the originators of Death Metal, and their music does fit that description.
Anyway, this song is oen of my favourite songs ever. It's called Lack of Comprehension.

Lack of Comprehension

A condeming fear strikes down
Things they cannot understand
An excuse to cover up weaknesses that lie within
Lies
Laying your guilt and pain
On people that had no part in the molding of a life
That creates its destruction
Lies
Right before your very eyes
A reflection of the mistakes
To the end you will deny
Your part in the demise of a life
Lack of comprehension
Thriving on your cliche
Compelled by self-resentment

[Solo: Schuldiner]

Reaching into the minds of those that created
The depression in which they
In which they drowned their flesh and blood
Lies
So easy to blame the
Everlasting fear on a pathetic attempt
To justify the ending of life
Lies
Right before your very eyes
A reflection of the mistakes
To the end you will deny
Your part in the demise of a life
Lack of comprehension
Thriving on your cliche
Compelled by self-resentment

[Spirit_k9]

One of my favorites...

"Breathe" by Disturbed

You will realease your life
Forgetting what's forsaken the reason why
You are alone again
You will believe the lie
Judging from what you've taken
You breathe, alive
You are alone again

From the heart of darkness
You call to me
Spirit racing on
There is nothing I can do
For you are next to no one

You will release your life
Joining with the goddamned world
Of the dead and the lonely
You'll never leave alive
Now do you think you're too damn good
For the killing kind

You will begin to cry
Hearing the silence breaking
You breathe, alive
But you are alone again

From the heart of darkness
You call to me
Spirit racing on
There is nothing I can do
For you are next to no one

You will release your life
Joining with the goddamned world
Of the dead and the lonely
You'll never leave alive
Now do you think you're too damn good
For the killing kind

You will release your life
forgetting what's forsaken
You breathe, alive
You are alone again

You will release your life
Joining with the goddamned world
Of the dead and the lonely
You'll never leave alive
Now do you think you're too damn good
For the killing kind

Nothing I can do

[Squeek]

TIME FOR A BUMP!

Squeek is back.  I have loads of uber-cool TECHNO music with lyrics that just rock.  Time for me to post them.

DJ Mystic - Everytime You Need Me (Remix of Fragma's song, I guess)

An inner feeling comes around
Let it sparkle and let it shine
Let it lift you off the ground
Make it last, baby, make it mine

You are the sun that rises
You are the moon that lights the night
You are what paralyzes me

Everytime you need me
You know I will be there
You know I really care
Say you will
Say you dare

Everytime you need me
You know I will be there
A love beyond compare
Say you will
Say you care

Write my name into the sky
And keep the memories in your heart
Let the hours pass us by
I guess that this is a way to start

You are full of surprises
You are a fire burning bright
You are what mesmerizes me

Everytime you need me
You know I will be there
You know I really care
Say you will
Say you dare

Everytime you need me
You know I will be there
A love beyond compare
Say you will
Say you care

Say you dare
Say you will
Say you dare

No, no
No, no

Everytime you need me
You know I will be there
You know I really care
Say you will
Say you dare

Everytime you need me
You know I will be there
A love beyond compare
Say you will
Say you care

DJ Mystic - Angels Crying (Remix of E-type or something)

I`ve got all systems go nothing standing in my way,
I should be far down the road but I`m not.
Something`s holding me back like a wild boar attack,
and I`ve got you by my side but you`re not.

Do you remember when we thought there was no end,
a shooting star around the sky?
Do you remember when you were from heaven sent,
how far the wind could make me fly?

Angels crying, when you`re far away from me.
Always trying, I will make you see!
Angels crying, when you`re far away from me.
No denying, we were meant to be!

I tumbled from the sky where I was soaring so high,
Never thought that I could fall back down to the ground.
Somewhere along the ride I found
that we can`t stop the tide; it is time for me to buy another round.

Do you remember when we thought there was no end,
a shooting star around the sky?
Do you remember when you were from heaven sent,
how far the wind could make me fly?

Angels crying, when you`re far away from me.
Always trying, I will make you see!
Angels crying, when you`re far away from me.
No denying, we were meant to be!

These are the only 2 for right now.  I'll find some more... just wanted to re-bump it

[bluewater9487]

This is a great topic. [8D]

Has anyone here heard of Saves the Day? They were a really good band. They "went pop" but their older lyrics are genius.

Here are some of my favorites:

"Rocks Tonic Juice Magic"

Let me take this awkward saw
And run it against your thighs
Cut some flesh away
I'll carry this piece of you with me
Because all I can say tonight
is that I hate you
But it would be all right
If we could see each other sometime
If I could somehow make you mine
And if not I'll take my rusty spoons
And dig out your blue eyes
I'll swallow them down to my colon
They're gonna burn like hell tonight
Because you're beautiful
Just not on the inside
Light comes from within
And your beaming eyes don't seem so bright
My heart is on the floor
Why don't you step on it?
When I think of all the things you've done
Boardwalks and breaking waves
Made our Saturdays
I'd buy you lemonade right now
if you were here
But then I'd throw it in your face
And I'd listen to you cry
And I'd remember how I miss
our nights under ocean skies
You and I are like when fire
and the ocean floor collide.


"Hold"

Oh well, you've got me under your spell
and I don't think that I'm kidding around.
I don't think I can forget you now.
I once sat up on my roof and examined the planning of my town.
I saw the structured grid and pavement cutting through grass
and I remembered the cold of winter running up the legs of my pants.
I picked the nicest lawn and imagined the two of us
rolling around down along the ground.
I saw myself touch your face and I noticed jets begin to race above our heads.
But I pinched my arm and remembered how much you hate me.
I remembered the fact that I can't see what you need
and I'm too stupid to be aware of the beauty that you give this place
and how dirty this town would seem without you in it.
When you aren't around I let the shades fall down to shut out
all the sun's light and make myself feel all right.
What am I doing with my life?
Remember that the only things we need sometimes
are chilly nights and warmer thighs, 'cause there's nothing like being held.

"Sell My Old Clothes, I'm Off To Heaven"

There's a beautiful sky tonight and
if you were by my side then we could share it but you are gone.
So come at me with your moon and burn me in the stars
cause nothing matters anymore.
If I could only see you now for about an hour
maybe just a minute
just to ask
What has he got that I don't have?
Is it his brown eyes?
I know blue eyes get boring but I'll wear dark glasses all the time and
hey if you want me to, I'll take a knife to my own bright eyes.
If I could only see you now for about an hour
maybe just a minute
just to ask
what has he got that I don't have?
Is it his brown eyes?
Well, I'll give you a thousand reasons that tonight
you should grant me this one wish.
Like the one year of my life that I gave to you and
now you put me through hell.
You break me up.
I should hate you, but I can't replace you in my heart.
Why am I so pathetic?
I don't get it why you won't return my calls.
Can't you look at me once?
And please if you got a minute,
enjoy this lonely sky with me.
It'll swallow us whole if we only let it.
If I could only see you now for about an hour
maybe just a minute
just to ask
what has he got that I don't have?
Is it his brown eyes?
Well, I'll give a thousand reasons
that tonight you should grant me this one wish.
Like the one year of my life that I gave to you and
now you put me through hell.
You break me up.
If this sky's going to eat us then I'd like to be digested
into a million pieces with you.
I'd love to be scattered to hell with you.
To hell with you.

[LittleNinja]

Here's an awesome song from a recently discovered artist that i found:



3 Libras
by A Perfect Circle


threw you the obvious and you flew
with it on your back, a name in your recollection,
thrown down among a million same.
difficult not to feel a little bit disappointed
and passed over
when i've looked right through
to see you naked and oblivious
and you don't see me.
but i threw you the obvious
just to see if there's more behind the eyes
of a fallen angel,
the eyes of a tragedy.
here i am expecting just a little bit
too much from the wounded.
but i see through it all
and see you.
so i threw you the obvious
to see what occurs behind the eyes of a fallen angel,
eyes of a tragedy.
oh well. apparently nothing.
you don't see me.
you don't see me at all.




Enjoy.

Can't Remember Anything
Can't Tell If this Is True or Dream
Deep down Inside I Feel to Scream
this Terrible Silence Stops Me
Now That the War Is Through with Me
I'm Waking up I Can Not See
That There Is Not Much Left of Me
Nothing Is Real but Pain Now

Hold My Breath as I Wish for Death
Oh Please God,wake Me

Back in the Womb its Much Too Real
in Pumps Life That I must Feel
but Can't Look Forward to Reveal
Look to the Time When I'll Live
Fed Through the Tube That Sticks in Me
Just like a Wartime Novelty
Tied to Machines That Make Me Be
Cut this Life off from Me

Hold My Breath as I Wish for Death
Oh Please God,wake Me

Now the World Is Gone I'm Just One
Oh God,help Me Hold My Breath as I Wish for Death
Oh Please God Help Me

Darkness

Imprisoning Me
All That I See
Absolute Horror
I Cannot Live
I Cannot Die
Trapped in Myself
Body My Holding Cell

Landmine

Has Taken My Sight
Taken My Speech
Taken My Hearing
Taken My Arms
Taken My Legs
Taken My Soul
Left Me with Life in Hell



Metallica-Fade to Black

Life it seems, will fade away
Drifting further every day
Getting lost within myself
Nothing matters no one else
I have lost the will to live
Simply nothing more to give
There is nothing more for me
Need the end to set me free


Things are not what they used to be
Missing one inside of me
Deathly lost, this can't be real
Cannot stand this hell I feel
Emptiness is filing me
To the point of agony
Growing darkness taking dawn
I was me, but now He's gone
No one but me can save myself, but it to late
Now I can't think, think why I should even try
Yesterday seems as though it never existed
Death Greets me warm, now I will just say good-bye

[Euphoric Sunrise]

Ah A Perceft Circle. That reminds me of another band that writes awesome lyrics - Tool. The song is called Lateralus from the album of the same name. Maynard James Keenan is a genius and he has a fantastic voice (signer for both Tool and A Perfect Circle). Enjoy!


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 myyy
desire to 2x)
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 humannnnnnnnn

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. 4x)

Metallica-Fuel

Gimme Fuel,
Gimme Fire,
Gimme that which I desire,
Ooh!

Turn on...I see red
Adrenaline crash & crash my head
Nitro Junkie, Paint me dead
And I see red

One hundred plus through Black and White
War Horse, Warhead
bonk 'Em Man, white knuckles tight
Through Black & White

Ohhh, On I Burn,
Fuel is pumping engines,
Burning hard, loose & clean

And I burn,
Churning my direction,
Quench my thirst with Gasoline

So Gimme Fuel,
Gimme Fire,
Gimme that which I desire,

Hey

Turn on beyond the bone
Swallow future, spit out home
Burn your face upon the crome
Yeah!

Take the corner, join the crash,
Headlights, Headlines
Another Junkie lives too fast
Yeah lives way too fast, fast, fast, oohh-aye

Ohhh, On I Burn
Fuel is pumping engines
Burning hard, loose & clean

And On I burn
Churning my direction,
Quench my thirst with Gasoline

So Gimme Fuel
Gimme Fire
Gimme that which I desire

Yeah-Heah

White Knuckle Tight!
(solo)

Gimmie Fuel.... On I burn, on and on
Gimmie Fire.... On I burn, on and on
My Desire....

Ohhh, On I Burn
Fuel is pumping engines
Burning hard, loose & clean

And I burn
Churning my direction
Quench my thirst with Gasoline

Gimme Fuel
Gimme Fire
Gimme that which I desire
Ooh

On I Burn!


Metallica-Turn the Page

on a long and lonely highway east of omaha
you can listen to the engine, moanin out as one long song
you can think about the woman, or the girl you knew the night before


and your thoughts will soon be wandering the way they always do
when you're riding sixteen hours and there's nothing much to do
you don't feel much like travelin', you just wish the trip was through


CHORUS:
but here I am, on the road again
here I am, up on the stage
here I go, playing the star again
there I go, turn the page


you walk into a restaraunt, strung out from the road
and you feel the eyes upon you, as you're shaking off the cold
you pretend it doesn't bother you, but you just want to explode
sometimes you can here 'em talk, other times you can't


all the same 'ole cliches: is that a woman or a man?
and you always seem outnumbered, you dare not make a stand


CHORUS


out there in the spotlight, your a million miles away
every ounce of energy, you try to give away
and the sweat pours from your body, like the music that you play
later in the evening, as you lie awake in bed
echos of the amplifiers, ringin' in your head
as you smoke the days last cigarette, remembering what she said

Ok, two more of my favorites, from Tool's Aenima

pain in the butt forum dumped me before I could post! grrrrrr.

Eulogy

He had alot to say.
He had alot of nothing to say.
We'll miss him.

So long.
We wish you well.
You told us how you weren't afraid to die.
Well then, so long.
Don't cry.
Or feel too down.
Not all martyrs see divinity.
But at least you tried.

Standing above the crowd,
He had a voice that was strong and loud.
We'll miss him.
Ranting and pointing his finger
At everything but his heart.
We'll miss him.

No way to recall
What it was that you had said to me,
Like I care at all.

So loud.
You sure could yell.
You took a stand on every little thing
And so loud.

Standing above the crowd,
He had a voice so strong and loud and I
Swallowed his facade cuz I'm so
Eager to identify with
Someone above the ground,
Someone who seemed to feel the same,
Someone prepared to lead the way, with
Someone who would die for me.

Will you? Will you now?
Would you die for me?
Don't you friggin lie.

Don't you step out of line.
Don't you friggin lie.

You've claimed all this time that you would die for me.
Why then are you so surprised to hear your own eulogy?

You had alot to say.
You had alot of nothing to say.

Come down.
Get off your friggin cross.
We need the friggin space to nail the next fool martyr.

To ascend you must die.
You must be crucified
For your sins and your lies. [sic]
Goodbye...

Forty-Six & 2

My shadow's

Shedding skin and
I've been picking
Scabs again.
I'm down
Digging through
My old muscles
Looking for a clue.

I've been crawling on my belly
Clearing out what could've been.
I've been wallowing in my own confused
And insecure delusions
For a piece to cross me over
Or a word to guide me in.
I wanna feel the changes coming down.
I wanna know what I've been hiding in

My shadow.
Change is coming through my shadow.
My shadow's shedding skin
I've been picking
My scabs again.

I've been crawling on my belly
Clearing out what could've been.
I've been wallowing in my own chaotic
And insecure delusions.

I wanna feel the change consume me,
Feel the outside turning in.
I wanna feel the metamorphosis and
Cleansing I've endured within

My shadow
Change is coming.
Now is my time.
Listen to my muscle memory.
Contemplate what I've been clinging to.
Forty-six and two ahead of me.

I choose to live and to
Grow, take and give and to
Move, learn and love and to
Cry, kill and die and to
Be paranoid and to
Lie, hate and fear and to
Do what it takes to move through.

I choose to live and to
Lie, kill and give and to
Die, learn and love and to
Do what it takes to step through.

See my shadow changing,
Stretching up and over me.
Soften this old armor.
Hoping I can clear the way
By stepping through my shadow,
Coming out the other side.
Step into the shadow.
Forty six and two are just ahead of me.

[Squeek]

Been a while.

So I've been listening to the Cowboy Bebop OST and the Kingdom hearts OST.  It's like 200 total tracks between the two.  Funyuns.  The band on the CB OST is called "The Seatbelts"

The Seatbelts - Call me Call me.

I close my eyes and I keep seeing things:
Rainbow waterfalls,
Sunny liquid dreams.
Confusion creeps inside me rainin' down;
Got to get to you,
But I don't know how.

Call me, call me,
Let me know it's all right.
Call me, call me,
Don'cha think it's 'bout time?

C'mon now won't you...
Ease my mind?!
Reasons... for me to find you!
Peace of mind!
What can I do...  to get me to you?

I had your number quite some time ago,
Back when we were young,
But I had to go.
Ten thousand years I've searched it seems and now,
Got to get to you,
Won't you tell me how?

Call me, call me,
Let me know you are there.
Call me, call me,
I wanna know you still care.

C'mon now won't you...
Ease my mind?!
Reasons... for me to find you!
Peace of mind!
What can I do...  to get me to you?

C'mon now won't you...
Ease my mind?!
Reasons... for me to find you!
Peace of mind!
Reasons... for living my life!

Ease my mind!
Reasons... for me to know you!
Peace of mind!
What can I do...  to get me to you?

Words that we couldn't say

We couldn't say them,
So now we just pray them.
Words that we couldn't say.

Funny, ain't it?
Games people play.
Scratch it, paint it,
One in the same.

We couldn't find them,
So we tried to hide them,
Words that we couldn't say.

It hurts, don't it?
Fools on parade...
Taint it, own it,
Chase it away.

We couldn't make them,
So we had to break them.
Words that we couldn't say.

Sometimes, baby,
We make mistakes.
Dark and hazy,
Prices we pay.

I sit here on my shelf,
Just talkin' to myself,
Words that we couldn't say.

Someday, maybe,
We'll make it right.
Until that day,
Long endless nights.

We couldn't say them,
So now we just pray them,
Words that we couldn't say.

We couldn't say them,
So now we just pray them,
Words that we couldn't say.

Someday, maybe,
We'll make it right.
Until that day,
Long endless nights.

We couldn't say them,
So now we just pray them,
Words that we couldn't say.
