OMG SUPERCOOL LYRIC THREAD LIKE WHOA!

Tattooed Angels · Post by **Tattooed Angels** » 1/6/2006, 6:01 pm

I use to keep a journal.. I would close everyday with a lyric of how I was feeling. These petty uch desribe my mood the last few days.

Cool to disappear but
I missed you most days
An army of tattooed angels
Have brought me back today

I got my user name from that one..

Take me up in your hot air ballon and feed me cotton candy
Wayne-Chantal Krevaizuk

Where you live should not decide whether you live or whether you die
Crumbs From YOur Table-U2

Climbing down the hours
I need to know now
Do the hands of time
Only rule this chapter.
Naveed-Our Lady Peace

Tears stream down your face
When you lose something you cannot replace
Tears stream down your face
I promise you I will learn from the mistakes
Fix You-Coldplay

I sit and wait
Does an angel contemplate my fate
And do they know
The places where we go
When we're grey and old
'cos I have been told
That salvation lets their wings unfold
So when I'm lying in my bed
Thoughts running through my head
And I feel the love is dead
I'm loving angels instead
Angels-Robbie Williams

I heard this on the radio at work today, and it struck me how much it coincides with how I've felt lately. I've heard the song before. It's "Til I Am Myself" by Blue Rodeo. I don't like country music as a whole, but I've enjoyed (to a limited extent) all the Blue Rodeo songs I've heard (if you don't know this one, you probably know Bulletproof which was a recent hit). Anyways, here it is. I've bolded the parts that hit home most (and I italicized the one verse that I've always liked):

I want to know where
my confidence went
one day it all disappeared
and I'm lying in a hotel room
miles away
voices next door in my ear

Daytime's a drag
nighttime's worse
hope that I can get home soon
but the half-finished bottles of inspiration
lie like ghosts in my room

I wanna go
I know I can't stay
but I don't want to run
feeling this way
til I am myself
til I am myself
til I am myself again

There's a seat on the corner
I keep every night
wait til the evening begins
I feel like a stranger
from another world
but at least I'm living again

There are nights
full of anger
words that are thrown
tempers that are shattered and thin
but the moments of magic
are just too short
they're over before they begin

I know it's time
one big step
I can't go
I'm not ready yet
'til I am myself
'til I am myself
'til I am myself again

I had a dream
that my house was on fire
people laughed while it burned
I tried to run but my legs were numb
I had to wait til the feeling returned

I don't need a doctor
to figure it out
I know what's passing me by
when I look in the mirror
sometimes I see
traces of some other guy

I wanna go
I know I can't stay
but I don't want to run
feeling this way
'til I am myself
'til I am myself
'til I am myself again

The thin horizon of a plan is almost clear
My friends and I have had a tough time
Bruising our brains hard up against change
All the old dogs and the magician
Now I see we're in the boat in two by twos
Only the heart that we have for a tool we could use
And the very close quarters are hard to get used to
Love weighs the hull down with its weight

But the wood is tired and the wood is old
And we'll make it fine if the weather holds
But if the weather holds we'll have missed the point
That's where I need to go

No way construction of this tricky plan
Was built by other than a greater hand
With a love that passes all out understandingÂ
Watching closely over the journey
Yeah
But what it takes to cross the great divide
Seems more than all the courage I can muster up inside
Although we get to have some answers when we reach the other side
The prize is always worth the rocky ride

But the wood is tired and the wood is old
And we'll make it fine if the weather holds
But if the weather holds we'll have missed the point
That's where I need to go

Sometimes I ask to sneak a closer look
Skip to the final chapter of the book
And then maybe steer us clear from some of the pain it took
To get us where we are this far, yeah
But the question drowns in it's futility
And even I have got to laugh at me
No one gets to miss the storm of what will be
Just hold on for the ride

But the wood is tired and the wood is old
And we'll make it fine if the weather holds
But if the weather holds we'll have missed the point
That's where I need to go

There's no beginning to the story
A bookshelf sinks into the sand
And a language learned and forgot in turn
Is studied once again
It's a shocking bit of footage
Viewed from a shitty tv screen
You can squint at it
Just snow and static
To make out the meaning
And keep on stretching the antenna
Hoping that it will come clear
We need some reception
A higher message
Just tell us what to fear
'Cause I don't know what tomorrow brings
To light with such possibilities
All I know is I feel better when I sing
Burdens are lifted from me
That's my voice rising

Hope · Post by **Hope** » 1/15/2006, 4:10 am

i re-fell in love with Radiohead's Talk Show Host :drool:

I want to, I want to be someone else or I'll explode
Floating upon the surface for the birds
the birds, the birds

You want me, well fucking well come and find me
I'll be waiting with a gun and a pack of sandwiches
And nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing

You want me, well, come on and break the door down
You want me, fucking come on and break the door down
I'm ready,
I'm ready,
I'm ready,
I'm ready
I'm reeeeeeeeeaaaady.

YES!!!

The music video that someone made for it's shared, too. It's hilarious.

i love this song so goddamned much and therefore it needs to be in this thread

broken social scene - ibi dreams of pavement

Well I got shot right in the back
And you weren't there, you weren't there
And I said I was never coming back
You weren't there, you weren't there
And I know the islands are under attack
You weren't there, you weren't there
And that's all the passion wants to attract
'cause you weren't there, you weren't there

And if God is waiting
Cut the hands off the minions
Don't get high on what you create

Well I saw the desert turn into rain
You weren't there, you weren't there
And all this attraction's made it on time
cause you weren't there, you weren't there
And all of the nice boys wait for the sign
You weren't there, you weren't there
And all of the time, the time, the time

And if love is what they gave
Turnin' wives into heroes
Don't get high on what you create
Or it might just steal you.

I have walked this earth and watched people.
I can be sincere and say I like them

You can't say no to hope, can't say no to happiness

I want to go on a mountain-top
with a radio and good batteries
play a joyous tune
and free the human race from suffering

I'm no fucking Buddhist but this is enlightenment

The less room you give me, the more space I've got

This is an alarm-call so wake-up wake-up now

Today has never happened and it doesn't frighten me

There are beads that wrap
Around your knees that crackle into the dark
Like a walk in the park like a hole in your head
Like the feeling you get when you realize you're dead
This time we ride roller coasters into the ocean
We feel no emotion as we spiral down to the world
And I guess it's worth your time
Because there's some lives you live
And some you leave behind
It gets hard to explain
The gardenhead knows my name

Leave me alone, for you know this isn't the first time
In fact this is twice in a row
That the angels have slipped through our landslide
And filled up our garden with snow
And I don't wish to taste of your insides
Or to call out your name through my phone
For the glory boys at your bedside will love you
As long as you're something to own

Follow me through a city of frost covered angels
I swear I have nothing to prove
I just want to dance in your tangles
To give me some reason to move
But to take on the world at all angles
Requires a strength I can't use
So I'll meet you up high in your anger
Of all that is hoping and waiting for you

Here you can be anything
Anything that scares you
I think that scares you
Here I've been here before
But only by myself
Myself
I promised I'd see it again
I promised I'd see this with you now
I promised I'd see it again
I promised I'd see this with you now
What giving up gives you
And where giving up takes you
I've had it I've been
Here in center frame
Here there's only air
And just enough space to fit
I promised I'd see it again
I promised I'd see this with you now
I promised I'd see it again
I promised I'd see this with you now
I said said said it out loud over and over
Said said said it out loud but what do I know
Said said said it out loud over and over
I said said said it out loud over and over
Said said said it out loud but it did not help
I'll stop now just enough so I can hear you
I'll stay up as long as it takes
I promised I'd see it again
I promised I'd see this with you now
I promised I'd see it again
I promised I'd see this with you now
I said said said it out loud over and over
I said said said it out loud but it did not help
I'll stop now but just enough so I can hear you
I'll stay up as long as it takes
I'll stay up as long as it takes
I'll stay up as long as it takes
As long as it takes
As long as it takes
As long as it takes
I'll stay up as long as it takes
As long as it takes

Once when my mother called,
She had a voice of last year's cough
We passed around the phone
Sharing a word about Oregon
When my turn came, I was ashamed
When my turn came, I was ashamed

Once when we moved away,
She came to Romulus for a day
Her Chevrolet broke down
We prayed it never be fixed or be found
We touched her hair, we touched her hair
We touched her hair, we touched her hair

When she had her last child
Once when she had some boyfriends, some wild
She moved away quite far
Our grandpa bought us a new VCR
We watched it all night, we grew up in spite of it
We watched it all night, we grew up in spite of it

We saw her once last fall
Our grandpa died in a hospital gown
She didn't seem to care
She smoked in her room and colored her hair
I was ashamed, I was ashamed of her
I was ashamed, I was ashamed of her
I was ashamed, I was ashamed....of her.

Sufjan Stevens - Romulus

I fell in love with "Michigan" again. This song is the reason why.

And I am glad there's a Neutral Milk Hotel fan base around here.
