music Most Meaningful Lyrics?

[Midnight Dragon 264]

That one song I posted here a while back ("Fly on the Wall" by Thousand Foot Krutch) still holds a lot of meaning to me. However, I figured I should share some more songs that are meaningful to me in some way (warning, most of them are depressing):

 

 

Broken Wings by Flyleaf

 

Thank you for being such a friend to me

 

Oh I pray a friend for life,
And have I ever told you how much you mean to me?
Oh you're everything to me
Thinking all the time how to tell you what I feel,
Contemplating phrases

 

I'm gazing at eternity,
I am floating in serenity

And I am so lost for words
And I am so overwhelmed

Please don't leave just yet
Can you stay a moment please
We can dance together
We can dance forever

Under your stars tonight
We'll live and breathe this dream

So close your eyes, but don't dream too deep
And please pass me some memories
And when I fall you're underneath
A thousand broken hearts, carried by a thousand broken wings

 

 

A Little More by Skillet

 

Love is all around you now

 

So take a hold
Hidden in our words
It sometimes ain't enough
Don't suffocate day after day
It's building up
Cause when you're feeling weak
You know I'm strong enough

Just one more day
One more day

Oh, let the world crash
Love can take it
Oh, let the world come crashing down
Oh, let the world crash
Love can take it
Love can take a little
Love can give a little more

Love is indestructible
So take a hold
Sometimes hard to find
A reason good enough
I'll stand beside you
Never leave through it all
And faith will bring a way
To the impossible

Just one more day
One more day

Oh, let the world crash
Love can take it
Oh, let the world come crashing down
Oh, let the world crash
Love can take it
Love can take a little
Love can give a little more

You can find me
You can find me
You can find me anywhere
Take a look over your shoulder
I'll be standing there
Standing there

Love is all around you now
So take a hold
And faith will bring a way
To the impossible

Just one more day
(You can find me, You can find me)
One more day
(You can find me anywhere) (2x)

Let the world crash
Love can take it
Oh, let the world come crashing down
Oh, let the world crash
Love can take it
Love can take a little
Love can take a little
Love can take a little
Love can give a little more
A little more

Take a little more
Take a little more

 

 

Remember Me by The Birthday Massacre

 

It's safe to say I'm lonely now

 

A place called home

 

Is just a memory away

 

I know I've done this all before

 

A thousand silent voices

 

Begging me to stay

 

 

Apologies all left unsaid

 

Secrets better left unspoken

 

Dreams are slowly put to bed

 

Rumors stirred and reawoken

 

 

If I try to get away

 

How long until I'm free?

 

And if I don't come back here

 

Will you remember me?

 

 

It's safe to say there's nothing now

 

It's all so quiet but I

 

 

Can't forget the sound

 

A thousand voices call my name

 

A thousand hands that

 

 

Pull me back down to the ground

 

I turn away from what you are

 

Denying all that you have given

 

I find a place that's safe and far

 

In time all will be forgiven

 

 

If I try to get away

 

How long until I'm free?

 

And if I don't come back here

 

Will you remember me?

 

 

Open Wounds by Skillet

 

 

In the dark with the music on

 

Wishing I was somewhere else

 

Taking all your anger out on me, somebody help

 

I would rather rot alone

 

Then spend a minute with you

 

I'm gone, I'm gone

 

 

And you can't stop me from falling apart

 

'Cause my self-destruction is all your fault

 

 

[Chorus]

 

How could you, how could you, how could you hate me?

 

When all I ever wanted to be was you?

 

How could you, how could you, how could you love me?

 

When all you ever gave me were open wounds?

 

 

Downstairs the enemy sleeps

 

Leaving the TV on

 

Watching all the dreams we had turn into static

 

Doesn't matter what I do

 

Nothing's gonna change

 

I'm never good enough

 

 

And you can't stop me from falling apart

 

'Cause my self-destruction is all your fault

 

 

[Chorus]

 

 

Tell me why you broke me down and betrayed my trust in you

 

I'm not giving up, giving in when will this war end?

 

When will it end???

 

 

You can't stop me from falling apart

 

You can't stop me from falling apart

 

You can't stop me from falling apart

 

'Cause my self-destruction is all your fault.

 

 

[Chorus: x2]

 

 

In the Dark by Flyleaf

 

 

I've written songs

 

In the dark in the dark in the dark in the dark

 

I've felt inspired

 

In the dark in the dark in the dark in the dark

 

I hide myself

 

In the dark in the dark in the dark in the dark

 

Used to be afraid

 

Of the dark of the dark of the dark of the dark

 

Those in the light know we die in the dark

 

Of the dark of the dark of the dark of the dark

 

Those in the light know we die in the dark

 

In the dark in the dark in the dark in the dark

 

 

There's only artificial light here

 

My flaws hide well here

 

I used to be afraid of cluttered noises

 

Now I'm afraid of silence

 

 

Fill this space idle words

 

I'm scared to death of light and silence

 

Jesus kill me inside this

 

Raise me up to live again

 

Like you did, like you did

 

Like you did, like you did.

 

 

Now I am mute despite myself

 

All of them are gone

 

The silence overtakes me

 

The idle words forsake me and I am left to face me

 

I'm held accountable

 

For every idle word

 

Curse the idle words

 

 

I'm scared to death of light and silence

 

Jesus kill me inside this

 

Raise me up to live again

 

Like you did, like you did.

 

 

Glory shows up

 

Exposes us

 

I'm naked here

 

Forsaken here, by the dark, by the dark

 

Damn the dark!

 

 

I'm scared to death of light and silence

 

Jesus kill me in side this

 

Raise me up to live again

 

Like you did

 

Like you did.

 

 

In the Dark by The Birthday Massacre [lol]

 

 

All these broken pieces left unglued

 

Should never find their way

 

Into the hands of someone like you

 

 

I'm in the dark

 

I'm alone around you

 

I've never been here before

 

Nobody here to get me through

 

Oh I'm in the dark

 

 

Every minute shared is never mine

 

Frozen in this fog and hiding

 

Every second in time

 

 

I'm in the dark

 

I'm alone around you

 

I've never been here before

 

Nobody here to get me through

 

 

Oh I'm losing my faith in every way

 

It points to you

 

Oh I'm in the dark

 

I'm alone around you

 

Oh I'm in the dark

 

 

The more bleak the day

 

The less I behave as if

 

Everything black can wash away

 

Why can't I just trade a dream for a way

 

To peel back the shade behind the gray

 

 

I'm in the dark

 

I'm alone around you

 

I've never been here before

 

Nobody here to get me through

 

 

Oh I'm in the dark

 

 

I’m Sorry by Flyleaf

 

 

I'm sorry.
I don't mean to remember.
It's true that I dream less often.
I'm not ashamed of that long December

Your hand's coming down again.
I close my eyes and brace myself.
I only noticed your face.
No matter what you're gonna build my shell, 
I'm falling.

I'm shedding my skin, but it's not time I'm told.
I am aware of what you mean and by then I'm only ten years old.
I close my eyes and brace myself.
I only noticed your face.

No matter what your gonna build my shell 
My scars are yours today.
This story ends so good.

I love you and I understand that you stood where I stood.
I close my eyes and brace my self.
I only notice your face.

No matter what your gonna break my shell 
I'm done healing.
I'm done healing.

 

 

It’s Not Me it’s You by Skillet

 

 

[V1]

 

Let's get the story straight

 

You were a poison

 

You flooded through my veins

 

You left me broken

 

You tried to make me think

 

That the blame was all on me

 

With the pain you put me through

 

And now I know that it's not me it's you

 

 

[Chorus]

 

It's not me it's you

 

Always has been you

 

All the lies and stupid things you say and do

 

It's you

 

It's not me it's you

 

All the lies and pain you put me through

 

I know that it's not me it's you

 

You

 

You

 

It's not me it's you, you

 

 

[V2]

 

So here we go again

 

The same fight we're always in

 

I don't care so why pretend

 

Wake me when your lecture ends

 

You tried to make me small

 

Make me fall and it's all your fault

 

With the pain you put me through

 

And now I know that it's not me it's you

 

 

[bridge]

 

Let's get the story straight

 

You were a poison

 

Flooding through my veins

 

Driving me insane

 

And now you're gone away

 

I'm no longer choking

 

From the pain you put me through

 

And now I know that it's not me it's you

 

 

Secret by The Birthday Massacre

 

 

I woke up as I waited

 

Bleeding slow

 

There was no way to

 

Make all this blow over so

 

I started writing the ending

 

I said too much

 

And you just kept on pretending

 

For both of us

 

 

I could never speak anyway

 

What you wanted to hear

 

I couldn't convey

 

We were just sinking too fast to save

 

The two of us

 

Whispering away

 

 

All the days that I've counted

 

You'll never know

 

All that I promised, you doubted

 

I told you so

 

Forget the words that were spoken

 

And thoughts erased

 

Let's burn the path that was chosen

 

Without a trace

 

 

I could never speak anyway

 

What you wanted to hear

 

I couldn't convey

 

We were just sinking too fast to save

 

The two of us

 

Whispering away

 

 

I could never speak anyway

 

What you wanted to hear

 

I couldn't convey

 

We were just sinking too fast to save

 

The two of us

 

Whispering away

 

 

Fingernails by Skillet

 

 

Never reaching what I want to reach

 

Never being who I want to be

 

Blaming me when I fall and fail

 

All my dreams splintering

 

Under my fingernails

 

Under my fingernails

 

 

I'm empty, lonely, and accused

 

Accused without a word

 

My fingernails are chipping down

 

From clawing in the dirt

 

I'm so lost, lost and confused

 

I threw it all away

 

How can I be beautiful

 

When I am so afraid

 

 

Never reaching what I want to reach

 

Never being who I want to be

 

Blaming me when I fall and fail

 

All my dreams splintering

 

Under my fingernails

 

All my dreams out of reach

 

Under my fingernails

 

 

I watched it all slip through my hands

 

My brokenness revealed

 

I'm so proud, I'm so proud

 

I'm crying to be filled

 

I'm killing, destroying the plague

 

That's killing me away

 

I've got to live, I've got to love

 

Like I am unafraid

 

 

Never reaching what I want to reach

 

Never being who I want to be

 

Blaming me when I fall and fail

 

All my dreams splintering

 

Under my fingernails

 

Under my fingernails

 

 

All my dreams out of reach

 

Under my fingernails

 

 

I'm wasting, wasting every moment

 

I want to be tasting

 

Tasting every moment with you

 

I'm suffering, I'm bleeding, on my knees

 

Who's going to save me?

 

Suffering, bleeding

 

Save me from this pit of frailty

 

 

Never reaching what I want to reach

 

Never being who I want to be

 

Blaming me when I fall and fail

 

All my dreams splintering

 

Under my fingernails

 

Under my fingernails

 

 

All my dreams out of reach

 

Under my fingernails

 

 

Never reaching me

 

 

Imperfection by Skillet

 

 

You're worth so much

 

It'll never be enough

 

To see what you have to give

 

How beautiful you are

 

Yet seem so far from everything

 

You're wanting to be

 

You're wanting to be

 

 

Tears falling down again

 

Tears falling down

 

 

You fall to your knees

 

You beg, you plead

 

Can I be somebody else

 

For all the times I hate myself?

 

Your failures devour your heart

 

In every hour, you're drowning

 

In your imperfection

 

 

You mean so much

 

That heaven would touch

 

The face of humankind for you

 

How special you are

 

Revel in your day

 

You're fearfully and wonderfully made

 

You're wonderfully made

 

 

Tears falling down again

 

Come let the healing begin

 

 

You fall to your knees

 

You beg, you plead

 

Can I be somebody else

 

For all the times I hate myself?

 

Your failures devour your heart

 

In every hour, you're drowning

 

In your imperfection

 

 

You're worth so much

 

So easily crushed

 

want to be like everyone else

 

No one escapes

 

Every breath we take

 

Dealing with our own skeletons, skeletons

 

 

You fall to your knees

 

You beg, you plead

 

Can I be somebody else

 

For all the times I hate myself?

 

Your failures devour your heart

 

In every hour, you're drowning

 

In your imperfection

 

 

Won't you believe, yeah

 

Won't you believe, yeah

 

All the things I see in you

 

 

You're not the only one

 

You're not the only one

 

Drowning in imperfection

 

 

Cover My Eyes by The Birthday Massacre

 

 

I remember the clouds in the summer

 

And how the light kissed my eyes

 

When I was a child, it was always this

 

A life that I left behind

 

 

Remember the sun

 

Remember the rain

 

They're never gonna touch me again tonight

 

 

Cover my eyes tonight

 

Don't let me see the light

 

 

Forever the cold of the winter

 

Forever the moon in my eyes

 

Now that you're here, it is always this

 

I fall to the night and the sky

 

 

Forever I crawl

 

Forever I cry

 

I don't know who I am anymore tonight

 

 

Cover my eyes tonight

 

Don't let me see the light

 

 

All that we are

 

Never the same

 

All that we know is all that remains

 

 

Remember the sun

 

Remember the rain

 

They're never gonna touch me again tonight

 

 

Don't let me see the light

 

Don't let me see the light

Peter Gabirel - My body is a cage

 

My body is a cage

That keeps me from dancing with the one I love
But my mind holds the key

My body is a cage
That keeps me from dancing with the one I love
But my mind holds the key

I'm standing on a stage
Of fear and self doubt
It's a hollow play
But they'll clap anyway

My body is a cage
That keeps me from dancing with the one I love
But my mind holds the key

You're standing next to me
My mind holds the key

I'm living in an age
That calls darkness light
Though my language is dead
Still the shapes fill my head

I'm living in an age
Whose name I don't know
Though the fear keeps me moving
Still my heart beats so slow

My body is a cage
That keeps me from dancing with the one I love
But my mind holds the key

You're standing next to me
My mind holds the key
My body is a...

My body is a cage
We take what we're given
Just because you've forgotten
That don't mean you're forgiven

I'm living in an age
That screams my name at night
But when I get to the doorway
There's no one in sight

I'm living in an age
They laugh when I'm dancing with the one I love
But my mind holds the key

You're standing next to me
My mind holds the key

Set my spirit free
Set my spirit free
Set my body free
Set my body free

Set my spirit free
Set my body free

[galaxysquid 2,122]

 

This is the only part of the song that actually means something to me: 

 

I'm scared today, more than I told you I was yesterday
Give me a moment to catch my breath
And hold me every second left

Proud of me, that's the only way I want you to be
Look at me and love what you see
I won't make it alone, I need something to hold

Kiss me on my shoulder, and tell me it's not over
I promise to always come home to you
Remind me that I'm older to be brave, smart, sweet, and bolder
And don't give up on what we're trying to do
Don't count the miles, count the I love you"s

We made it out, and all the other people are asking how
This doesn't even sound like truth to grow from a bruise
But one day we will realize how hard it was, how hard we tried
And how our hearts made it out alive

Kiss me on my shoulder, and tell me it's not over
I promise to always come home to you
Remind me that I'm older to be brave, smart, sweet, and bolder
And don't give up on what we're trying to do
Don't count the miles, count the "I love you"s

[Lisa 5,553]

 

Red, white and pitch black,

colours that I'll not get back.

'Cause time changes colours too,

today I learnt something new.

 

Green, brown, purple haze,

these colours do amaze.

But time changes colours too.

Now my favourite colour's blue.

 

Nah, nah nah nah nah 

Nah, nah nah nah nah 

 

Nah, nah nah nah nah 

Nah, nah nah nah nah 

Nah, nah nah nah nah 

 

Red, white and pitch black,

colours that I'll not get back.

'Cause time changes colours too,

today I learnt something new.

 

Green, brown, purple haze,

these colours do amaze.

But time changes colours too.

Now my favourite colour's blue.

 

Red, white and pitch black,

colours that I'll not get back.

'Cause time changes colours too,

today I learnt something new.

 

Green, brown, purple haze,

these colours do amaze.

But time changes colours too.

Now my favourite colour's blue.

 

Nah, nah nah nah nah 

Nah, nah nah nah nah 

Nah, nah nah nah nah 

Nah, nah nah nah nah 

 

I'm still trying to find the exact meaning of these lyrics. But from the look of it and the choir of children in the song singing them, I believe it talks about how you forget your childhood past and change.

@, hoofs for mentioning John Denver.

 

I won't bothing posting the obligatory Imagine, but yeah.

 

Here's an interesting one.  Not particularly deep or anything, but I LOVE these lyrics.  Soooo true.  So true.

 

And for simply one of the most meaningful and beautiful songs ever written:

[Hidey 2,836]

"who by fire"

 

And who by fire, who by water,
Who in the sunshine, who in the night time,
Who by high ordeal, who by common trial,
Who in your merry merry month of may,
Who by very slow decay,
And who shall I say is calling?

And who in her lonely slip, who by barbiturate,
Who in these realms of love, who by something blunt,
And who by avalanche, who by powder,
Who for his greed, who for his hunger,
And who shall I say is calling?

And who by brave assent, who by accident,
Who in solitude, who in this mirror,
Who by his lady's command, who by his own hand,
Who in mortal chains, who in power,
And who shall I say is calling?

[Buttonmash1973 1,026]

 

Raphael Gualazzi - Madness of Love

 

 

 Saying yes, saying never, it’s not easy, you know
If all of us are in the orbit in this madness
I do not know who you are, I do not care who you are
I just miss the charm of nostalgia

But you will see another me in a fragile dream
You will laugh as if I had never loved you
You will look for another me beyond the shadow of a coffee
You will find me only if I stop for a moment
I no longer know who you are

Here we live like this, day by day, night by night
And while the world turns away from its poetry
Don’t ever portray me, don’t ever make me
Abandon the threshold of my madness

But you will see another disarmed fragile me
Because who you are, no, it will never change
Even if I were you, like the time I’d run out
But stay with me, don’t let me miss a single moment of you

 

And you will see another you, almost invincible
Alive as ever and it is there where you will have me
False magic will be beyond the horizon
Shine, shine, shine, shine
