Pierre the Great Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 post lyrics of songs that have a ton of meaning to you or that you think are powerful. Then give the meaning of the song that has been said or given to by the writer of the song, then tell what the song means to you. I've got a lot. U2- When I look at the World- All That You Can't Leave Behind Written by U2 (Bono and the Edge) When you look at the world What is it that you see? People find all kinds of things That bring them to their knees I see an expression So clear and so true That it changes the atmosphere When you walk into the room So I try to be like you Try to feel it like you do But without you it's no use I can't see what you see When I look at the world When the night is someone else's And you're trying to get some sleep When your thoughts are too expensive To ever want to keep When there's all kinds of chaos And everyone is walking lame You don't even blink now, do you Or even look away So I try to be like you Try to feel it like you do But without you it's no use I can't see what you see When I look at the world I can't wait any longer I can't wait till I'm stronger Can't wait any longer To see what you see When I look at the world I'm in the waiting room Can't see for the smoke I think of you and your holy book While the rest of us choke Tell me, tell me, what do you see? Tell me, tell me, what's wrong with me This song is sorta religious Bono said he wrote it after meeting with the Pope. For me this song basically feels the same way, I've had a falling out with religion over the years, seen too much bad in the world, and another image I get from the song is a depressed person looking at happy people around him or her and saying 'why is everyone so happy, when the world and life is such a mess'. I feel that a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psycing Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 "Prime Time Deliverance" - By: Matthew Good The red red lips Of some secret solution The Central Intelligence Agency Has a file that's a mile longer than peace She's naked on the phone Watching them back No eyes just their stupid grins They long to be liberal mannequins And in their tiny room They eat Chinese food And they don't call their wives Cause the girl in the window is Pressing her breasts Up against the window pane The guy they're after On the floor below her Is cutting cocaine Higher than the building A one way trip Who ever thought she'd miss The ins and outs of oxygen The darkest side of the biggest God damn ride You've ever been on Her mother loves that show Even though she never gets the answers right It's easier to play along Sometimes more than being wrong They found her in her room Wearing a pink bunny suit In sour cherry lipstick Hanging from the closet door Her eyes were wide maybe to despise Maybe just to look into your head light Morning glow And this is it, well this is it Prime time deliverance That you have and you hold And you have and you hold And you have and you hold And you have and you hold And you have and you hold And you have and you hold And she says the best thing you can do Is hang around for a while [A lot of things I love about this song. A lot of imagery really, and exploits some corruption ideas of suburbia in a way.] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BTH Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 Well, I usually find a part I like in almost every song, but full songs of great lyrics? Well, there's Imagine by John Lennon how about For No One, by The Beatles. Your day breaks, your mind aches You find that all the words of kindness linger on When she no longer needs you She wakes up, she makes up She takes her time and doesn't feel she has to hurry She no longer needs you And in her eyes you see nothing No sign of love behind the tears Cried for no one A love that should have lasted years! You want her, you need her And yet you don't believe her when she said her love is dead You think she needs you And in her eyes you see nothing No sign of love behind the tears Cried for no one A love that should have lasted years! You stay home, she goes out She says that long ago she knew someone but now he's gone She doesn't need him Your day breaks, your mind aches There will be time when all the things she said will fil your head You won't forget her And in her eyes you see nothing No sign of love behind the tears Cried for no one A love that should have lasted years! http://www.beatles-lyrics.net/beatles-for-no-one.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 Cowboys Fringants - Plus rien Il ne reste que quelques minutes à ma vie Tout au plus quelques heures, je sens que je faiblis Mon frère est mort hier au milieu du désert Je suis maintenant le dernier humain de la terre On m'a décrit jadis, quand j'étais un enfant Ce qu'avait l'air le monde il y a très très longtemps Quand vivaient les parents de mon arrière grand-père Et qu'il tombait encore de la neige en hiver En ces temps on vivait au rythme des saisons Et la fin des étés apportait la moisson Une eau pure et limpide coulait dans les ruisseaux Où venaient s'abreuver chevreuils et orignaux Mais moi je n'ai vu qu'une planète désolante Paysages lunaires et chaleur suffocante Et tous mes amis mourir par la soif ou la faim Comme tombent les mouches... Jusqu'à c'qu'il n'y ait plus rien... Plus rien... Plus rien... Il ne reste que quelques minutes à ma vie Tout au plus quelques heures, je sens que je faiblis Mon frère est mort hier au milieu du désert Je suis maintenant le dernier humain de la terre Tout ça a commencé il y a plusieurs années Alors que mes ancêtres étaient obnubilés Par des bouts de papier que l'on appelait argent Qui rendaient certains hommes vraiment riches et puissants Et ces nouveaux dieux ne reculant devant rien Étaient prêts à tout pour arriver à leur fins Pour s'enrichir encore ils ont rasé la terre Pollué l'air ambiant et tari les rivières Mais au bout de cent ans des gens se sont levés Et les ont avertis qu'il fallait tout stopper Mais ils n'ont pas compris cette sage prophétie Ces hommes là ne parlaient qu'en termes de profits C'est des années plus tard qu'ils ont vu le non-sens Dans la panique ont déclaré l'état d'urgence Quand tous les océans ont englouti les îles Et que les innondations ont frappé les grandes villes Et par la suite pendant toute une décennie Ce fut les ouragans et puis les incendies Les tremblements de terre et la grande sécheresse Partout sur les visages on lisait la détresse Les gens ont dû se battre contre les pandémies Décimés par millions par d'atroces maladies Puis les autres sont morts par la soif ou la faim Comme tombent les mouches... Jusqu'à c'qu'il n'y air plus rien... Plus rien... Plus rien... Mon frère est mort hier au milieu du désert Je suis maintenant le dernier humain de la terre Au font l'intelligence qu'on nous avait donnée N'aura été qu'un beau cadeau empoisonné Car il ne reste que quelques minutes à la vie Tout au plus quelques heures, je sens que je faiblis Je ne peux plus marcher, j'ai peine à respirer Adieu l'humanité... Adieu l'humanité... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pierre the Great Posted January 2, 2007 Author Share Posted January 2, 2007 okay here's a couple: The first song for the life in me can't figure out WHY this song was NOT on Coldplay's X&Y's album. Funny thing about the band they seem to leave there 'cooler' stuff on the b-sides. (One I Love, Things I don't Understand, X&Y, Proof, When the World Turned Upside Down, How you See the World No. 2) Coldplay Thing's I don't Understand How tides control the sea And what becomes of me How little things can slip out of your hands How often people change No two remain the same Why things don't always turn out as you plan These are things that I don't understand Yeah these are things that I don't understand (I can't) and I can't decide (wrong) all my wrong from right (day) all my day from night (dark) all my dark from light (I love) but I love this life How infinite is space And who decides your fate Why everything will dissolve into sand How to avoid defeat Where truth and fiction meet Why nothing ever turns out as you plan These are things that I don't understand Yeah these are things that I don't understand (I can't) and I can't decide (wrong) all my wrong from right (day) all my day from night (dark) all my dark from light (I love) but I love this life Pretty much sums up my feelings on life at the moment especially the first couple of lyrics about people changing (which they have in my life and sort of left me) things slipping out of your hands (these past 2 years could be summed up this way) and plan (never thought I would have 'slipped' through the cracks) But in the end I still love this life U2 Dirty Day- Zooropa I don't know you And you don't know the half of it I had a starring role I was the bad guy who walked out They said be careful where you aim 'cause where you aim you just might hit You can hold onto something so tight You've already lost it Dragging me down That's not the way it used to be You can't even remember What I'm trying to forget It was a dirty day Dirty day You're looking for explanations I don't even understand If you need someone to blame Throw a rock in the air You'll hit someone guilty From father to son In one life has begun A work that's never done Father to son (And love...it won't last kissin' time) [Repeat 3 times] Get it right There's no blood thicker than ink Hear what I say Nothing's simple as you think Wake up Some things you can't get around I'm in you More so when they put me in the ground These days, days, days run away like horses over the hill These days, days, days run away like horses over the hill... [Repeat and fade until end] Now the orginal version to me is utter crap, the remix, the dirty day junk mix is a hard electronic song that sounds like crashing symbols very creepy. This song is again about religion and how Bono has had a falling out. But I see the song as almost an urban waste land. When I think of this song I think of Chernobyl. Look up pictures of Chernobyl and then play this song in the background and its really eerie. This song would be a great song in an futuristic waste land movie like a blade runner. This song is very creepy, very angry, and simply awesome 90's U2 (the remix is the best the original is a bit strange) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killer Carlson Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 Who the f***k is alice by smokie- its sick it means a lot to me cos the song came out around the time my gran who was called alice died- it cheered me up in a way- loss of life does crazy things to people. Sally called when she got the word, She said: "I suppose you've heard - About Alice". Well I rushed to the window, And I looked outside, But I could hardly believe my eyes - As a big limousine rolled up Into Alice's drive... Oh, I don't know why she's leaving, Or where she's gonna go, I guess she's got her reasons, But I just don't want to know, 'Cos for twenty-four years I've been living next door to Alice. Alice, who the ###### is Alice Twenty-four years just waiting for a chance, To tell her how I'm feeling, maybe get a second glance, Now I've got to get used to not living next door to Alice... Alice, who the ###### is Alice Grew up together, Two kids in the park, Carved our initials, Deep in the bark, Me and Alice. Now she walks through the door, With her head held high, Just for a moment, I caught her eye, As a big limousine pulled slowly Out of Alice's drive. Oh, I don't know why she's leaving, Or where she's gonna go, I guess she's got her reasons, But I just don't want to know, 'Cos for twenty-four years I've been living next door to Alice. Alice, who the ###### is Alice Twenty-four years just waiting for a chance, To tell her how I'm feeling, maybe get a second glance, Now I gotta get used to not living next door to Alice... Alice, who the ###### is Alice Sally called back, asked how I felt, She said: "I know how to help - Get over Alice". She said: "Now Alice is gone, But I'm still here, You know I've been waiting For twenty-four years..." And the big limousine disappeared... I don't know why she's leaving, Or where she's gonna go, I guess she's got her reasons, But I just don't want to know, 'Cos for twenty-four years I've been living next door to Alice. Alice, who the ###### is Alice Twenty-four years just waiting for a chance, To tell her how I feel, and maybe get a second glance, But I'll never get used to not living next door to Alice... Alice, who the ###### is Alice Now I'll never get used to not living next door to Alice... Replay Video | Share Video | More Videos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mont Royale Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 "Wide Awake" You can a look a hurricane right in the eye. 1200 people dead or left to die. Follow the leaders, were it an eye for an eye we'd all be blind. Deaf or murdered, and this I'm sure in this uncertain time. So come pull the sheet over my eyes So I can sleep tonight Despite what I've seen today. I found you guilty of a crime, of sleeping at a time When you should have been wide awake. Down on the road the world is floating by. The poor and undefended left behind. While you're somewhere trading lives for oil, As if the whole world were blind, hey. So come pull the sheet over my eyes So I can sleep tonight Despite what I've seen today. I found you guilty of a crime of sleeping at a time When you should have been wide awake. Come pull the sheet over my eyes So I can sleep tonight Despite what I've seen today I found you guilty of a crime of sleeping at a time When you should have been wide awake Wide awake! Wide awake! Wide awake! Wide awake! I find this Audioslave song compelling because of its American political commentary, and it also happens to be a very good song musically (which always helps).

JoeLassister Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 Father and Son - Cat Stevens Father Its not time to make a change, Just relax, take it easy. Youre still young, thats your fault, Theres so much you have to know. Find a girl, settle down, If you want you can marry. Look at me, I am old, but Im happy. I was once like you are now, and I know that its not easy, To be calm when youve found something going on. But take your time, think a lot, Why, think of everything youve got. For you will still be here tomorrow, but your dreams may not. Son How can I try to explain, when I do he turns away again. Its always been the same, same old story. From the moment I could talk I was ordered to listen. Now theres a way and I know that I have to go away. I know I have to go. Father Its not time to make a change, Just sit down, take it slowly. Youre still young, thats your fault, Theres so much you have to go through. Find a girl, settle down, If you want you can marry. Look at me, I am old, but Im happy. (son-- away away away, I know I have to Make this decision alone - no) Son All the times that I cried, keeping all the things I knew inside, Its hard, but its harder to ignore it. If they were right, Id agree, but its them you know not me. Now theres a way and I know that I have to go away. I know I have to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shortcat1 Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 what a beautiful song !! Here's another one Imagine there's no Heaven It's easy if you try No hell below us Above us only sky Imagine all the people Living for today Imagine there's no countries It isn't hard to do Nothing to kill or die for And no religion too Imagine all the people Living life in peace You may say that I'm a dreamer But I'm not the only one I hope someday you'll join us And the world will be as one Imagine no possessions I wonder if you can No need for greed or hunger A brotherhood of man Imagine all the people Sharing all the world You may say that I'm a dreamer But I'm not the only one I hope someday you'll join us And the world will live as one That's song with both hope and despair. The hope comes from lines like 'living life in peace', 'sharing all the world', and the other 'dreamer' statements. I'm not putting down the dreamer aspect of the song because 'without a dream, a people perish' - a dream is crucial to the way we look at ourselves and what's around us. The despair comes from 'no heaven/no hell' 'people living for today'. I expect that many will disagree but, those among us who've studied philosophy and comparative religions will recognize that man has struggled with personal meaning and with mortality & immortality. Now, one may say with Karl Marx that "Religion is the opium of the people" but its pervasiveness is a STRONG INDICATION of the concerns surrounding personal meaning and mortality/immortality. ********************************************* Now, here's a song that, for me deals with foundational issues... Ashley Cleveland's song 'You Are There' on her album LESSON OF LOVE. There are so many words that I can't hear In the poverty of my soul Till the light pooled in my true love's tears. Now I know. If I will crawl up out of this barren land Then I will crawl up on my own. I won't ride the shoulders of any man But I am not alone. CHORUS: Where I cannot lift my eyes, You are there Where I cannot find my way, You are there Where I cannot hold my tongue, You are there Where I have no prayer, You are there It's a lot like snakes & ladders I get swallowed every time. Trying to reach for something better And find a peace that's mine. But I can't give myself a good talking to And I can't fool this bitter pain. I'd like to quit this cave I'm walking through But the past remains. CHORUS I want to talk about resolution. I want to tie up every loose string. Tear down the institutions And lay hold of greater things. Oh, where can I run from Your presence For you know my path so well. If I should rise up into the Heavens Or make my bed in Hell. CHORUS It's worth a good listen to so try a temporary download. If I knew how to stick a soundfile in this email (if it's possible), I'd put the song in for you. GO :hlogo: GO!

johnnyhasbeen Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 (edited) Echoes ( PINK FLOYD ) Overhead the albatross hangs motionless upon the air And deep beneath the rolling waves in labyrinths of coral caves The echo of a distant tide Comes willowing across the sand And everything is green and submarine And no one showed us to the land And no one knows the wheres or whys But something stirs and Something tries And starts to climb towards the light Strangers passing in the street By chance two separate glances meet And I am you and what I see is me And do I take you by the hand And lead you through the land And help me understand the best I can And no one calls us to the land And no one crosses there alive And no one speaks And no one tries And no one flies around the sun And now this is the day you fall Upon my waking eyes Inviting and inciting me to rise And through the window in the wall Comes streaming in on sunlight wings A million bright ambassadors of morning And no one sings me lullabies And no one makes me close my eyes So I throw the windows wide And call to you across the sky. The ultimate song about being broken hearted and then finding the soul mate. Edited January 3, 2007 by johnnyhasbeen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Psycing Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Champions of Nothing by Matthew Good When Hollywood runs out of Indians When the bar stars melt and their golden hair turns into glass When Hollywood runs out of Indians When the bubble bursts and the first are come for by the last There's something in the way you move Makes me catch a cold There's something in your "too cool for school" When you slide up and down my pole There's something in the way you look That only casts a shadow When Hollywood runs out of Indians Only the Indians will know A kick in the head, pass it around Begging for a bed, pass it around Pass it around And I'd say what you'd say It makes me feel nothing There's a car waiting to take me to something At the end of my rope there's A new world, it's snowing The globe it starts shaking Is it me not worth knowing? The white coats are melting The snow down our mountains To process the rivers for hallways, and fountains And I'd say what you'd say But it makes me feel nothing Til there's a man waiting to take me to something That I'm for Hell It looks red in all it's pictures My sisters sing laments While their skin blisters (take your time, take your time, take your time) Halleluiahs Offered down on the floor Nobody goes above decks No, not no more They say the sun is still shining That you can feel it in your core But I ain't seen nobody move That weren't going for the door And I'd say what you'd say Champions of nothing But there's a car waiting to take me to something At the end of my rope There's a new world, it's glowing The globe it starts shaking Was it you not worth knowing? The white coats are melting The snow down our mountains To process the rivers for hallways, and fountains And I'd say what you'd say But it makes me feel nothing Til there's a man waiting to take me something That I'm for...

goalerexpert86 Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 This one always gets me. Oh, where oh where can my baby be? The Lord took her away from me She's gone to heaven, so I got to be good So I can see my baby when I leave this world. We were out on a date in my daddy's car We hadn't driven very far There in the road, up straight ahead A car was stalled, the engine was dead I couldn't stop, so I swerved to the right I'll never forget the sound that night The screamin' tires, the bustin' glass The painful scream that I heard last. Oh, where oh where can my baby be? The Lord took her away from me She's gone to heaven, so I got to be good So I can see my baby when I leave this world. When I woke up, the rain was pourin' down There were people standing all around Something warm rollin' through my eyes But somehow I found my baby that night I lifted her head, she looked at me and said "Hold me darling just a little while." I held her close, I kissed her our last kiss I found the love that I knew I would miss But now she's gone, even though I hold her tight I lost my love, my life that night. Oh, where oh where can my baby be? The Lord took her away from me She's gone to heaven, so I got to be good So I can see my baby when I leave this world.

T-Pain Aww shit, get your towels ready it's about to go down (shorty, yeah) Everybody in the place hit the f*cking deck (shorty, yeah) But stay on your motherf*cking toes We running this, let's go I'm on a boat (I'm on a boat) I'm on a boat (I'm on a boat) Everybody look at me 'cause I'm sailing on a boat (sailing on a boat) I'm on a boat (I'm on a boat) I'm on a boat Take a good hard look at the motherf*cking boat (boat, yeah) I'm on a boat motherf*cker take a look at me Straight flowing on a boat on the deep blue sea Busting five knots, wind whipping out my coat You can't stop me m*ther######er cause I'm on a boat Take a picture, trick (trick) I'm on a boat, bitch (bitch) We drinking Santana champ, Cause it's so crisp (crisp) I got my swim trunks And my flippie-floppies I'm flipping burgers, you at Kinko's Straight flipping copies I'm riding on a dolphin, doing flips and shit The dolphin's splashing, getting everybody all wet But this ain't Seaworld, this is real as it gets I'm on a boat, motherf*cker, don't you ever forget I'm on a boat and It's going fast and I got a nautical themed pashmina afghan I'm the king of the world On a boat like Leo If you're on the shore, then you're sure not me-oh Get the f*ck up, this boat is REAL!!! ###### land, I'm on a boat, motherf*cker (motherf*cker) ###### trees, I climb buoys, motherf*cker (motherf*cker) I'm on the deck with my boys, motherf*cker (yeah) This boat engine make noise, motherf*cker Hey ma, if you could see me now (see me now) Arms spread wide on the starboard bow (starboard bow) Gonna fly this boat to the moon somehow (moon somehow) Like Kevin Garnett, anything is possible Yeah, never thought I'd be on a boat It's a big blue watery road (yeah) Poseidon Look at me, oh (all hands on deck) Never thought I'd see the day When a big boat coming my way Believe me when I say I f*cked a mermaid I'm on a boat I'm on a boat Everybody look at me 'cause I'm sailing on a boat (woaah) I'm on a boat I'm on a boat Take a good hard look at the mothaf*ckin' boat (sha-sha-shorty, shorty, yeah) The music makes it even funnier. OMFG !!!! When I first read this post back on feb 10 or so, I thought you picked a random T-Pain song and didn't know what was The Lonely Islands, but then I saw Jizz In my pants and Dick in a box, AND finally this video (didn't notice it in your post). I really love these guys !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetsniper Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 Haha, yeah, I was loving the album at the time but I over listened to it. Great comedy album though, the Natalie Portman rap is great and I really like "Who said we're wack?". I posted that song in an HWL thread, forget which one. The lyrics are funny but the guys can still rap and the beats are pretty good (better then anything DJ Khaled has laid down and thats who they're making fun of with "I'm On A Boat") This guy has uploaded every song from the album if you want to check out other ones.
