Meaningful Song Lyrics

[xGaryx]

what are your favourite song lyrics. what do they mean to you. stick em on up + song title + band and what YOUR interpretation of them is.

mine is ...
Until The End - Death Disguised As Salvation

Can you feel it in your heart, burning in your veins.
In a world that preys on weakness, this means everything.
Death disguised as salvation, i refuse to take part.
Can you feel it in your heart, burning in your veins.
Drive nails to my wrists.
Pour salt into the wound.
This world won't break me.
I'll die for my beliefs.
This may seem like to nothing to you,
but it's all i fuckin have.

this song to me is something great. its meaning to me is no matter what people say or do, ill stay true til death. also that sXe will seem like nothing to some people, just a label or an image, but to me its my life, its what i am.
the title is referring to how drugs and acceptable addictions are seen as salvation for people but really, they are gonna kill you. its a song about staying true, staying strong and staying clean.

i also like this song because it fucking brings the mosh

xXx

right ive got 2 song that mean alot to me. one is [/i]Live For This[/i] by Hatebreed and the other is The Ballard by Millincollin. The Hatebreed track i feel is just an antherm, i reckon all the little bitches who think they want to kill themselves should listen to this song, and understand u gotta live for everything, u only get one chance to live, dont waste it
The other is a more emotional song, that peritty much sums up my childhood.

Live For This - Hatebreed
Let's go!
Live for this, Live, Live
Live for this
Live for this, Live, Live
If you don't live for something, You'll die for nothing.
Through the best and the worst
The struggle and sacrifice.
For the true who've remained and the new blood.
Motivation, undying allegiance
Striving through the hardships and affliction.
Every drop of blood
Every bitter tear
Every bead of sweat
I live for this
Live for this, Live, Live
Live for this
Live for this, Live, Live
If you don't live for something you'll die for nothing.
What we have are not possessions we own
It's not weighed by greed or personal gain
This is real a desire for freedom.
A place apart from a world in abandon.
Every drop of blood
Every bitter tear
Every bead of sweat
I live for this
Live for this, Live, Live
If you don't live for something you'll die for nothing.
I live for this.
Every drop of blood
Every bitter tear
Every bead of sweat
I live for this

The Ballard - Millencolinj

The last selection in the ballgame.
Does never get a pass.
"Not appreciated's" just his first name.
He's the scapegoat of the class.
There are no friends to cheer him up and
no girls, no sweet romance.
It's impossible to expand,
when you never get a second chance.

Do you know, who's that guy, who's all alone?
Do you care enough to see? He's in pain and misery.

He's not going to the school-prom.
He said he had the flu.
Trumped-up excuses he told his mom.
-I'm safer here with you.
She told her son. -Someday, they'll all be
sorry for mistreating you.
Don't be afraid my son and trust me.
-You'll be someone they will look up to.

Do you know, who's that guy, who's all alone?
Do you care enough to see?
He's in pain and misery... Do you care enough to see?

Do you know, who's that guy, who's all alone?
Do you care enough to see? He's in pain and misery.

See...even ocky has a deep side...just goes to show really.

[phil hills]

vex red- cant smile...was the song that kept me alive in school

Can't Smile"

Keep it real
I know that something is wrong with you
I am too impatient
To wait for something new
Why can't I say what I need you to hear
Find it hard to dream
I know that you are here
You are here

You'll be there to
Laugh your head off when I fall
I will go
With them to look for something more
Subject to change will you identify
Look at me close you'll see that I cant smile,
I cant smile

I cant smile
I cant smile
I cant smile
I cant smile
I cant smile
I cant smile
I cant smile
I cant smile

Now smile
Beg your pardon?
'scuse me?
Smile
Why?
Just do it
I'm afraid I cant smile without a reason
I'm sorry I cant smile without a reason
Smile
What's there to smile about?
Just do it
Why?

Think your so good with your toking
Fuck your smoking
That's not what its all about


corey taylor- bother..this song made me realise i no longer need to bother hiding from things

Wish I was too dead to cry
My self-affliction fades
Stones to throw at my creator
Masochists to which I cater
You don't need to bother;
I don't need to be
I'll keep slipping farther
But once I hold on,
I won't let go 'til it bleeds

Wish I was too dead to care
If indeed I cared at all
Never had a voice to protest
So you fed me shit to digest
I wish I had a reason;
my flaws are open season
For this, I gave up trying
One good turn deserves my dying

You don't need to bother;
I don't need to be
I'll keep slipping farther
But once I hold on,
I won't let go 'til it bleeds

[Solo: Corey]

Wish I'd died instead of lived
A zombie hides my face
Shell forgotten
with its memories
Diaries left
with cryptic entries

And you don't need to bother;
I don't need to be
I'll keep slipping farther
But once I hold on,
I won't let go 'til it bleeds

You don't need to bother;
I don't need to be
I'll keep slipping farther
But once I hold on:
I'll never live down my deceit

[shortymorty]

John Lennon - Working Class Hero

As soon as your born they make you feel small
by giving you no time instead of it all
Till the pain is so big you feel nothing at all
Working Class Hero is something to be
Working Class Hero is something to be

They hurt you at home and they hit you at school
They hate you if you're clever and despise a fool
Till you're so fucking crazy you can't follow their rules
Working Class Hero is something to be
Working Class Hero is something to be

When they've tortured and scared you for 20 odd years
then they expect you to pick a career
When you can't really function you're so full of fear
Working Class Hero is something to be
Working Class Hero is something to be

Keep you doped with religon, sex and T.V.
and you think you're so clever and classless and free
but you're still fucking peasents as far as I can see
Working Class Hero is something to be
Working Class Hero is something to be

There's room at the top I'm telling you still
but first you must learn how to smile as you kill
if you want to be like the folks on the hill
Working Class Hero is something to be

Yes , A Working Class Hero is something to be
If you want to be a hero well just follow me
If you want to be a hero well just follow me

I just find these lyrics completely honest, no bullshitting. Someone who meant a lot to me introduced me to these lyrics because he found them inspiring, we don't speak anymore, but they really help me see how life really is, it's really ironic.

Complicated - Good Charlotte

And we've been here
For so many years,
Still it seems as if
You're not there
(Are you there?)
Every time I talk
You turn away
(Do you care?)
Isn't dad an
Obligation to care
CHORUS:
And we've been here
For so many years,
So many years still it seems,
So complicated
Overrated
Complicated this feeling is love

Well I came in the door,
I said it before,
I never let the stress get,
Me down no more
Giving thanks to the lord
And I pray every day,
Giving shouts to my peeps
And this is what we say

You left us one little room
With a black and white TV,
One eviction notice and
A bill for therapy,
You're living all alone you're
Like a dog without a bone,
You're living all alone
'Cause you left us all at home,
Well you had a second chance
But you threw it all away,
A fourth and fifth and sixth
But that was yesterday,
Now you're sitting at a bar
Just drowning in your tears,
Lonely in the corner
While everybody cheers,
Six dollars in your pocket
One's a secret stash,
Three's for alcohol and
Two's for cigarettes,

A lot of good memories with this song, the words on their own may not look so fantastic but put to music can produce a smile. it's one of those songs you can just listen to, and forget about everything else happening in the world.

[faye flid]

I have lots of lyrics that are just made for me i swear... I'll put this one up now but i'll prob put up a diff one 2morro lol but this one is Mest - Forget You

What went on last night?
Was it just another stupid fight?
Will we be again,
Or will we both regret this in the end?

Why can't I forget you,
And everything you do?
It's so hard to do.
Why can't I forget you,
And everything you do?
It's so hard to do.

Consider me your friend,
Until you do that stupid shit again.
I believed all you told,
Then you left me hanging out so cold.


Why can't I forget you,
And everything you do?
It's so hard to do.
Why can't I forget you,
And everything you do?
It's so hard to do.

[Mooosy]

this is what you get when you listen to mostly pop-punk... you can't find anything meaningful.. this could take a while. okay i think i got one

less than jake - the science of selling youself short

I've come to my senses that I've become senseless
I could give you lessons how to ruin your friendships
Every last conviction I've smoked them all away
I've drank my frustrations, down the drain, out of the way

So I sit and wait and wonder, does anyone else feel like me
Someone so tired of their routines and disappearing self esteem

I'll sing along with every emergency
Just sing along "I'm the king of catastrophes"
I'm so far gone that deep down inside I think
It's fine by me, I'm my own worst enemy

I could be an expert on codependency
I could write the best book on underage tragedy
I've been spending my time at the local liquor store
I've been sleeping nightly on my best friend's kitchen floor

So I sit and wait and wonder does anyone else feel like me
I'm so overdoesed on apathy and burnt out on sympathy

I'll sing along with every emergency
Just sing along "I'm the king of catastrophes"
I'm so far gone that deep down inside I think
It's fine by me, I'm my own worst enemy

Let the meanings slip away
Lost my faith in another day
Self-deprecation seems okay
I never thought I'd make it anyway

this reminds me of how i was a while back, and how i don't want to be like that anymore. reminds me to be a good person. most songs that mean stuff to me are like, reminding me not to become the person in that song, or whatever.

will post another later... got to post this before my computer crashes....

[Mooosy]

...i said i'd be back. with...

linkin park - numb

I'm tired of being what you want me to be
Feeling so faithless lost under the surface
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
I've 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
I've 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
I've 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 I can't feel you there
Tired of being what you want me to be

this is all about how i always let everyone down and can't ever do anything right. i'm not a deep thinker.

[Ocky]

Take Her To The Music Store - From Autumn To Ashes

Emotionless grey skies bleed somber dreams of sorrow
Blackened unseen heart tears a virgins godlike innocence from its pristine palace
Paint sarcastic smiles upon new wounds
Tears of misery stain scar filled minds
Hatred new like tomorrow flows from bitter memories
Purity now embraced by sinful ideals why
Lifeless tomb rests weary with prowling peering eyes
Silence falls upon deaf ears covered by night
Alone in thought, shaking
Biting tongues of lead at unfit moments
Screaming disbelief with no faith in site

(and her disgust has no borders, no limits to strive for, she bends and breaks to the rules set by the weak)

She's finally seen she's a beautiful girl with a smile so grand she could stop the world
Stolen her skin he sews her mouth shut, means nothing to him, her screams just die out
As she cries out here voice dies out
As she cries out her voice dies out
Love once inside her heart, lay in my hands
Was it asked for?
Was it implied?
What could have been done?
Inside her mind dies.


This is just a great song with really powerful really well thaught out lyrics.

[Ocky]

ok so another 2 From Autumn To Ashes song for you. Both have great lyrics and Short Storys With Tragic Endings has the greates accoustic ending..such deep lyrics, helped me after the desaster that was love. The woman singing at the end also features on the other track Autumns Monologue

Short Storys With Tragic Endings

Here you stand seething with guilt.
Silence only justifies this act of cowardice.
The look stapled on your face cries out for forgiveness,
the one thing that I cannot give.

(Did you ever see that one person
and the way they do these things
and it hurts you so much it's like choking choking choking
down the embers)

I can give you freedom from your guilt,
with a flick of my wrist onto yours.
I can give you peace of mind with a forced smile.
I can give you death with the look upon my face.

This is your freedom in a life of fallacy,
with no last kiss and no regrets;
you don't deserve good bye.
This is your freedom in a life of fallacy,
with no last kiss and no good bye.

Here you stand seething with guilt.
Silence only justifies this act of cowardice.

With a short story, the one you add to daily, you are the tragic loss.
No story book ending for this fairy tale of you.
Just the one composed with blood taken from your pen that you hold in your
lifeless hand.
Cry for you. Shed tears. Mourn. Wish the end.
Cry for you. Shed tears. Mourn. Wish the end.

(Did you ever look, did you ever see that one person,
and the subtle way that they do these things and it hurts so much?
So much like choking down the embers of a great blaze.
It's that moment when your eyes seem to spread aspersions
and to scream confessions at the insipid sky parting clouds.
You let this one person come down in the most perfect moment.
And it breaks my heart to know the only reason you are here now is
A reminder of what I'll never have
I'll never have... I'll never...
Standing so close knowing that it kills me to breathe you in.
Standing so close knowing that it kills me to breathe you in.
But this table for one has become bearable.
I now take comfort in this, and for this, I cherish you.
Did you ever look, did you ever see that one person
and the subtle way that they do these things and it hurts so much?
So much like choking down the embers of a great blaze.
It's that moment when your eyes seem to spread aspersions
and to scream confessions at the insipid sky parting clouds.
And you let this one person come down, come down.
I cherish you...I cherish you.
Just say you would do the same for me.
Just say you would do the same for me.
Say you would do the same...
Just say you would do the same for me.
For as much as I love Autumn,
I'm giving myself to Ashes.)

Autumns Monologue

Oh why cant I be what you need
a new improved version of me
but i'm nothing so good
no i'm nothing
just bones, a lonely ghost burning down songs
of violence of love and of sorrow
i beg for just one more tomorrow
where you hold me down fold me in
deep deep deep in the heart of your sins

I break in two over you
I break in two
And each piece of me dies
And only you can give the breath of life
But you dont see me, you dont...

here i'm in between darkness and light
bleached and blinded by these nights
where im tossing and tortured til dawn
by you, visions of you then youre gone
the shock lifts the red from my face
when i hear someone's taking my place
how could love be so thoughtless, so cruel
when all, all that i did was for you

i break in two over you
i break in two
and each piece of me dies
and only you can give the breath of life
but you dont see me you dont..

i break in two over you
i break in two
and each piece of me dies
and only you can give the breath of life
but you dont see me you don't...

i break in two over you
i break in two over you, over you
i break in two
i would break in two for you
now you see me
now you don't
now you need me
now you don't

[nabz]

Something has to change.
Un-deniable dilemma.
Boredom's not a burden
Anyone should bear.

Constant over stimu-lation numbs me
but I would not want
You any other way.

Cause,
It's not enough.
I need more.
Nothing seems to satisfy.
I said,
I don't want it.
I just need it.
To breathe, to feel, to know I'm alive.

Finger deep within the borderline.
Show me that you love me and that we belong together.
Relax, turn around and take my hand.

I can help you change
Tired moments into pleasure.
Say the word and we'll be
Well upon our way.

Blend and balance
Pain and comfort
Deep within you
Till you will not want me any other way.

But,
It's not enough.
I need more.
Nothing seems to satisfy.
I said,
I don't want it.
I just need it.
To breathe, to feel, to know I'm alive.

Knuckle deep inside the borderline.
This may hurt a little but it's something you'll get used to.
Relax. Slip away.

Something kinda sad about
the way that things have come to be.
Desensitized to everything.
What became of subtlety?

How can this mean anything to me
If I really don't feel anything at all?

I'll keep digging till
I feel something.

Elbow deep inside the borderline.
Show me that you love me and that we belong together.
Shoulder deep within the borderline.
Relax. Turn around and take my hand.

[Graeme]

Nabz... as much as i love Stinkfist.. i'm not quite sure how meaningfull it is...

Dynamo said:

Your like that with everyhting faye......

cut that shit. lets have 1 thread that stays on topic.

This song has a meaning which is true to me.

Throwdown - Forever
i know a thing or two about you. your bullshit attitude. you're fucking weak
and lemme tell you it shows right through. you don't know shit about me or my
friends. what they are what i am. so cut the shit and try not to pretend. you're
scared of who and what we are and so you question yourself. but your pride won't
let you show your fear to anyone else. you don't know me. so don't judge me. you
don't know you. you're too scared to. you think you know. why i'm here after all
these years. you wanna know? well i'll tell you fucking why. go. for myself. for
my friends. for my family. forever. i'll take this to the bitter end. you don't
know a single thing about me. just what my enemies say. well fuck them and fuck
you. that shit won't cut it today. be a fucking man and stand up to find the truth
in yourself. for yourself. by yourself and not from anyone else. you think you
know. why i'm here after all these years. you wanna know? well, i'll tell you
fucking why, go. so now where are you? i'm still here, i'm still proud and i
still know what it takes to be true. for myself. for my friends. for my family.
straight fucking edge. forever.

its a song about being true and that it is your decision, but its not only for you. its for your friends, your family and yourself.
also about not careing about what other people think, if they think your odd for being what you are. you tell them what you are with pride.
basic message. im edge, im proud, its for me and the ones i love, ill be true to it forever.

Xi own youX

Ten Yard Fight - Pit Of Equality

We don't care if you're black or white
We're all friends in the pit tonight
I'll pick you up if you fall on me
We'll mosh in the pit of equality
Straight edge brothers in the pit together
Singing straight edge anthems together
We're all friends if you're not high,
And no one will go home with a black eye
In the pit we're all the same
Because hardcore's just a big football game
Ten Yard Fight is here to stay
And we won't tolerate any foul play

simple song really. means a bit to me seeing as i mosh ... alot. its just a small tune about how in the mosh, you are all equal. no gender or race divisions, you are all there as one to enjoy the music

Evanescence - My Immortal
Just reminds me of a situation I was in once...
