Post lyrics here that you find particularly meaningful to you.

"My memory is cruel. Queen of attention to detail - forgiving intentions if he fails.

Until now he told me her name. It sounded familiar in a way. I could've sworn I'd heard him say it ten thousand times... if only I had been listening"

Sara Bareilles - Between The Lines

This is my fave lyric EVER. <3

"And he can't understand
How everyone goes on breathing when true love ends.
His mother whispers quietly;
Heaven's not a place that you go when you die.
It's that moment in life when you actually feel alive
So live for the moment,
And take this advice, live by every word,
Love is just a hoax so forget anything that you have heard
And live for the moment now"

It's from "The Tide" by the Spill Canvas.

These are all from Vienna by Billy Joel, which is my favourite song EVER! Back in grade 11 and 12, I got so stressed out about getting into university that I started having panic attacks. But, since I was having panic attacks, I wasn't getting my work done, and my marks were dropping. Vienna put my whole life into perspective and is the only thing that can calm me down when I get really worked up. And seeing as I DID get into university, I credit that to this song


"Slow down, you crazy child. You're so ambitious for a juvenile, but then if you're so smart, tell me why are you still so afraid?"

"But you know that when the truth is told, that you can get what you want or you can just get old. You're going to kick off before you even get halfway through. When will you realize, Vienna waits for you?"

"Slow down, you're doing fine. You can't be everything you want to be before your time."

"Though you can see when you're wrong, you know you can't always see when you're right."

"You've got your passion. You've got your pride. But don't you know that only fools are satisfied?"

"Dream on, but don't imagine they'll all come true."

"Slow down, you crazy child, and take the phone off the hook and disappear for a while. It's alright, you can afford to lose a day or two."

here are the lyrics to Defeated by Anastacia, this song really hits a chord with me as the lyrics are so true to certain things I've gone through

Selling stories that were overrated
In this world so complicated
Felt so right, you tried to make it wrong
Why can't we all just get along?

From the start something wasn't right
I used to cry myself to sleep at night
Told myself stand up, be strong
This kind of phase doesn't last for long

And every time you try to knock me down
Gonna pick my back up off the ground
The battle never ends, yeah

You can tear me apart, you can rip me to pieces
Try breaking me down but I'll never be beated
You can say that you won but I'll never believe it
'Cause I can't be defeated

Made a mistake, swore I'll never repeat it
Lost my heart for a second but it never stopped beating
I smile through the tears so the way that I see it
I can't be defeated

There are times that I couldn't take it
Never felt so violated
At the risk of sounding so cliche
I just gotta call a spade a spade

Hurts me right to the core
I can't take this anymore
Getting tired of the same old song
Final chorus now I'm moving on

Things ain't fair in love and war
Never been the kind to be ignored
Tried to push me to the edge

Yeah, you can tear me apart, you can rip me to pieces
Try breaking me down but I'll never be beated
You can say that you won but I'll never believe it
'Cause I can't be defeated

Made a mistake, swore I'll never repeat it
Lost my heart for a second but it never stopped beating
I smile through the tears so the way that I see it
I can't be defeated

Nothing is impossible, nothing is unreachable
If you only believe then you get what you need
So keep on holdin' on

You can tear me apart, you can rip me to pieces
Try breaking me down but I'll never be beated
You can say that you won but I'll never believe it
'Cause I can't be defeated

Made a mistake, swore I'll never repeat it
Lost my heart for a second but it never stopped beating
I smile through the tears so the way that I see it
I can't be defeated

If you listen to my red guitar
You know that I will take you far
I've been waiting for a miracle
Hoping love will come my way



I have a thousand friends I've never met
All I think about is you
I can change my feelings with a pill
But those feelings won't be true


Every person in the world is shit
Every person is a liar
Lately nothing makes me give a fuck
Maybe you could lift me up

A thought that never changes
Remains a stupid lie
It's never been quite the same
No hearing or breathing
No movement, no colors
Just silence

Rise and fall of shame
A search that shall remain
We asked you what you'd seen
You said you didn't care

Sound formed in a vacuum
May seem a waste of time
It's always been just the same
No hearing or breathing
No movement no lyrics
Just nothing

The sign that leads the way
The path we can not take
You've caught me at a bad time
So why don't you piss off

They’re gonna throw my ashes into a landfill
They're gonna put a logo on the moon
I sit in my cage and call myself free
It’s hard to feel and harder to see

Generica

The whole world points its filthy fucking finger
at a country that was once so beautiful
They sit high up and call themselves free
but they're the same as you and me

Generica

They say if you don’t like it you should leave
But there’s no spaceship as far as I can see
The price goes up and she goes down
It’s hard to miss if you just look around

Generica

Summer Skin by Death Cab for Cutie

Squeaking swings and tall grass
The longest shadows ever cast
The water's warm and children swim
And we frolicked about in our summer skin

I don't recall a single care
Just greenery and humid air
Then Labor Day came and went
And we shed what was left of our summer skin

On the night you left, I came over
And we peeled the freckles from our shoulders
Our brand new coats were so flushed and pink
And I knew your heart I couldn't win
Because the season's change was a conduit
And we'd left our love in our summer skin

These lyrics bring out such different emotions everytime I hear it, it's like a bunch of memories just flood back to me.

"I HATE
You so much
Right now.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"

by Kelis (she's such a wordsmith)

I've been dancing on the tops of buildings,
And at the top of my lungs I'm singing you a song.
Don't you leave me alone,
My bones were shattered...
My pride lays shattered.
Well I'll trample my pride, and tell the whole world to dance with me.

I'm falling more in love,
With every single word I withhold,
I'm falling more in love,
With every single word you say,
I'm falling head over heels for you.

I've been dancing on the tops of buildings,
With you.

As black as the night can get
Everything is safer now
Theres always a way to forget
Once you learn to find a way how

In the blur of serenity
Where did everything get lost?
The flowers of naivete
Buried in a layer of frost

The smell of sunshine
I remember sometimes

Thought he had it all before they called his bluff
Found out that his skin just wasnt thick enough
Wanted to go back to how it was before
Thought he lost everything
Then he lost a whole lot more

A fools devotion
Swallowed up in empty space
The tears of regret
Frozen to the side of his face

The smell of sunshine
I remember sometimes

Ive done all I can do
Could I please come with you?
Sweet smell of sunshine
I remember sometimes

Brand New - "Daisy"

I'm a mountain that has been moved
I'm a river that is all dried up
I'm an ocean nothing floats on
I'm a sky that nothing wants to fly in
I'm a sun that doesn't burn hot
I'm a moon that never shows it's face
I'm a mouth that doesn't smile
I'm a word that no one ever wants to say...

I'm a mountain that has been moved
I'm a fugitive that has no legs to run
I'm a preacher with no pulpit
Spewing a sermon that goes on and on...

Well if we take all these things and we bury them fast
And we'll pray that they turn into seeds, to roots and then grass
It'd be all right, it's all right, it'd be easier that way
Or if the sky opened up and started pouring rain
Like he knew it was time to start things over again
It'd be all right, it's all right, it'd be easier that way

Well if we take all these things and we bury them fast
And we'll pray that they turn into seeds, to roots and then grass
It'd be all right, it's all right, it'd be easier that way
Or if the sky opened up and started pouring rain
Like he knew it was time to start things over again
It'd be all right, it's all right, it'd be easier that way

Vanessa Carlton ~ "Who's To Say"

Stand up straight
Do your trick
Turn on the stars
Jupiter shines so bright
When you're around to tell us slow down,
We're too young you need to grow
The speed's the key
And they don't know who we are

And who's to say that we're not good enough?
And who's to say that this is not our love?

Mother don't tell me friends are the ones that I lose
'Cause they'd bleed before you
And sometimes family are the ones you'd choose
It's too late now
I hold on to this life I found

And who's to say we won't burn it out?
And who's to say we wont sink in doubt?
Who's to say that we wont fade today?
Who are they anyway? Anyway they don't know

And you say we're too young, but maybe you're too old to
remember
And I try to pretend but I just feel it when we're
together
And if you don't believe me, you never really knew us
You never really knew

You and I, packin' up my room, we feel alright
But we're not well comsumed
We'll be drivin', 'cause they don't know who we are
Who's to say we won't stay together?
Who's to say we arn't getting stronger?
Who's to say I can live without you?
Who are they anyway? Anyway they don't know

And you say we're too young, but maybe you're too old to
remember
And I try to pretend, but I just feel it when we're
together
Who is to say?
And who is to say?
And who are they anyway?

Stand up boy, I shine so bright when you're around

Jon Crosby-Heres To All The People I Have Lost


I went walking late last night to clear my head
As the moon began to touch my skin
I began to dream of you
I began to think of you my love

Here's to all the people I have lost
Here's to all the people I have loved

I began to dream of you
I began to miss you my love

Here's to all the people I have lost
Here's to all the people I have loved

I sometimes wonder how much you have missed
I can say......... I can say it's not that much

Here's to all the people I have lost
Here's to all the people I have loved
I sometimes wonder where you all have gone
Here's to all the people I have lost

Ships by Kellin Watson (just the chorus):

When will my ship roll in?
When will I sail away?
When will my timing fall into perfect place?
When will the stars that shine, shine me on my way?
When will my ship roll in and take me away?

This world rejects me
This world threw me away
This world never gave me a chance
This world's gonna have to pay

I don't believe in your institutions
I did what you wanted me to
Like the cancer in the system
I've got a little surprise for you

Something inside of me, has opened up it's eyes
Why did you put it there? Did you not realize
This thing inside of me, it screams the loudest sound
Sometimes I think I could
Burn

Burn

I look down at where you're standing
Flock of sheep out on display
With all your lives piled up around you
I can take it all away

Something inside of me, has opened up it's eyes
Why did you put it there? Did you not realize
This thing inside of me, it screams the loudest sound
Sometimes I think I could
I'm gonna burn this whole world down

I'm gonna burn this whole world down

I never was a part of you

(burn)

I am the savior

(burn)

Of your corruption

(burn)

I am the angel

(burn)

Of your destruction

(burn)

I am perversion

(burn)

Secret desire

(burn)

I am your future

(burn)

Swallowed up in fire

Cast shadows through the days
And swing the night and come with me.
There's nothing to believe in here
So just believe in me.
Your sense of apprehension suits you,
You wear troubles well.
I've nothing left to hide from you,
I've got no God to sell.
Just put your hand in mine,
Then cast your doubts aside.

[Chorus]
We can hide away for days,
Pretend the world has ended.
No more drama, no more pain.
Pretend the world has ended.
We can run away tonight,
Pretend the world has ended.
No matter what they say we'll work out fine,
Cause you and I know this is heaven.

Your hair is damp from the rain,
Hungry eyes that look like lust.
The ghosts of lost loves follow you,
You feel but you can't trust.
Time disappears inside you,
'Till there's nothing left but us.
We wave goodbye to everyone,
And hope our love's enough.
Just put your hand in mine,
Then cast your doubts aside.

Green light, seven eleven
You stop in for a pack of cigarettes
You dont smoke, dont even want to
I see you check your change
Dressed up like a car crash
The wheels are turning but youre upside down
You say when he hits you, you dont mind
Because when he hurts you, you feel alive
Is that what it is?

Red lights, grey morning
You stumble out of a hole in the ground
A vampire or a victim
It depends on whos around
You used to stay in to watch the adverts
You could lip synch to the talk shows

And if you look, you look through me
And if you talk its not to me
And when I touch you, you dont feel a thing

If I could stay... then the night would give you up
Stay, and the day would keep its trust
Stay, and the night would be enough

Faraway, so close
Up with the static and the radio
With satelite television
You can go anywhere
Miami, new orleans, london, belfast and berlin

And if you listen I cant call
And if you jump, you just might fall
And if you shout Ill only hear you

If I could stay... then the night would give you up
Stay then the day would keep its trust
Stay with the demons you drowned
Stay with the spirit I found
Stay and the night would be enough

Three oclock in the morning
Its quiet and theres no one around
Just the bang and the clatter
As an angel runs to ground
Just the bang and the clatter
As an angel hits the ground

I know a girl who's like the sea
I watch her changing every day for me
Oh yeah

One day she's still, the next she swells
You can hear the universe in her sea shells
Oh yeah


No, no line on the horizon, no line

I kwow a girl with a hole in her heart
She said infinity is a great place to start

She said "Time is irrelevant, it's not linear"
Then she put her tounge in my ear

No, no line on the horizon, no line
No, no line
No, no line on the horizon, no line
No, no line

The songs in your head are now on my mind
You put me on pause
I'm trying to rewind and replay
Every night I have the same dream
I'm hatching some plot, scheming some scheme
Oh yeah

I'm traffic cop, due de marais
The sirens are wailing but it's me that wants to get away

No, no line on the horizon, no line
No, no line
No, no line on the horizon, no line
No, no line

I'm feeling emo today:

"You've got this new head filled up with smoke
I've got my veins all tangled close
To the jukebox bars you frequent
The safest place to hide
A long night spent with your most obvious weakness
You start shaking at the thought you are everything I want
'Cause you are everything I'm not

And we lay, we lay together just not
Too close, too close (How close is close enough?)
We lay, we lay together just not
Too close, too close

I just wanna break you down so badly
Well I trip over everything you say
I just wanna break you down so badly
In the worst way..."



and...



"Passed out in our school clothes so we'd wake up in our Sunday's best
I never asked for your opinion, I just got it and I get it
You move slow like daytime drama
And I'm boring like his songs
So while I'm taking you for granted
We'll be humming along

Well cross my heart and hope to...
I'm lying just to keep you here
So reckless (so reckless), so,
So thoughtless (so thoughtless)
So careless, I could care less

Well cross my heart and hope to...
I'm lying just to keep you here
(So reckless)
Well she's so heartless,
And I could care less..."

Make Damn Sure is such a good song when you're feeling angry or angsty <3

"Send us a blindfold, send us a blade
Tell the survivors help is on the way
I was a blind fool, never complained
All the survivors singing in the rain
I was the one with the world at my feet
Got us a battle, leave it up to me

Find us a trap door, find us a plane
Tell the survivors help is on the way
I was a blind fool, never complained
All the survivors singing in the rain
I was the one with the world at my feet
Got us a battle, leave it up to me

What it is and where it stops nobody knows
You gave me a life I never chose
I wanna leave but the world won't let me go
Wanna leave but the world won't let me go

I was the one with the world at my feet
Got us a battle, leave it up to me
Leave it up to me"
