Band: Nevermore
Song: Cenotaph
Lyrics:

"And I will build this in her name.
The dream will not allow failure,
only servitude, for I am it's slave"

Cenotaph

Foreboding fear trickles down the spine
Into the pool, resonating
Behind the wall the dreamer lies in velvet sleep
She must be still, never make a sound

Awake....... awaken the dreamer
Awake....... awaken
Awake....... awaken the dreamer
Awake....... where are you my love?

We build our walls around our games
We decompose, dreamers never really die
She lies unknown, the cenotaph in her name

Awake....... awaken the dreamer
Awake....... awaken
Awake....... awaken the dreamer
Awake....... where are you my love?

She lies unknown
She lies unknown
She lies unknown
She lies unknown
She hides

This song means alot to me. You may read it's lyrics as someone who is longing for a lost love. But when I hear this song I see so much more. "She" to me means someting more greater than a human being, something that can never be found. But what it means to me.. You will never know.

EDIT: Oh I'll have anew song every day.. I hope that doesn't anoy you all.. =(

A little nostalgia...Fleetwood Mac,Rumours....Go your own way

Since Dor so kindly started a format, I'll do the same and follow..

Band: The Postal Service
Song: Sleeping In
Lyrics:

"Last week I had the strangest dream that
everything was exactly how it seemed
where there was never any mystery of who
shot john f. kennedy
it was just a man with something to prove
slightly bored and severly confused
he steadied his rifle with his target in the
center
and became famous on that day in november

don't wake me I plan on sleeping in

again last night I had that strange dream
where everything was exactly how it seemed
no concerns about the world getting warmer
people thought that they were just being
rewarded
for treating others as they'd like to be treated
for obeying stop signs and curing diseases
for mailing letters with the address of the
sender
now we can swim any day in november

don't wake me I plan on sleeping in"

I apologize if you were looking for something profound. To be honest, I'm sick of all the 'profound' statements my life throws at me. It's another excuse for those teenage kids to start more drama.

*Strikes a dramatic pose*

Music seems to be the new refuge of kids everywhere, heh.

-Ferra

[unitself]

well, since I have the privilage of listening to music while I "work", I listen to lots and lots of things... but I won't list them here
I will follow DivA's wishes...
The one song I did purposefully put on during my drive in this morning was
Gary Numan - Metal
Damn... that song kicks so much ass it's not even funny.

Ferra - excellent choice, btw. Very good CD.
Riel - totally brought me back to a happy childhood place.

Artist:nancy sinatra.. or so i believe..
Song: bang bang from kill bill..

lyrics:I was five and he was six
We rode on horses made of sticks
He wore black and I wore white
He would always win the fight

Bang bang
He shot me down, bang bang
I hit the ground , bang bang
That awful sound, bang bang
My baby shot me down

Seasons came and changed the time
When I grew up, I called him mine
He would always laugh and say
Remember when we used to play

Bang bang
I shot you down, bang bang
You hit the ground , bang bang
That awful sound, bang bang
I used to shoot you down

Music played and people sang…
Just for me the church bells rang…

Now he's gone I don't know why
And till this day some times I cry
He didn't even say goodbye
He didn't take the time to lie

Bang bang
He shot me down, bang bang
I hit the ground , bang bang
That awful sound, bang bang
My baby shot me down.

i dont know i just absolutely love this song.. its so like soothing....heh plus its from a kickass movie...

NEXT!

Band: Dream Theater
Song: Voices
Lyrics:

Voices

'Love, just don't stare'
He used to say to me
every Sunday morning
The spider in the window
The angel in the pool
The old man takes the poison
Now the widow makes the rules

'So speak, I'm right here'
She used to say to me
not a word, not a word
Judas on the ceiling
the Devil in my bed
I guess Easter's never coming
So I'll just wait inside my head

Like a scream but sort of silent
living off my nightmares

Voices repeating me
'Feeling threatened?
We reflect your hopes and fears.'
Voices discussing me
'Others steal your thoughts
they're not confined
within your mind.'

Thought disorder
Dream control
Now they read my mind on the radio
But where was the Garden of Eden?

I feel elated
I feel depressed
Sex is death, Death is sex
Says it right here on my Crucifix

Like a scream but sort of silent
living off my nightmares

Voices protecting me
'Good behavior
brings the Savior
to his knees.'
Voices rejecting me
'Others steal your thoughts
they're not confined
to your own mind.'

[Dialogue by rap artist Prix-mo reading from the book "Cultural Revolution".]
"I don't wanna be here, 'cause of my
suffering, 'cause of my illness.
Only love is worth having, only
love is what matters, loving every
people on equal terms. "
"You've got to know who you're
dealin' with because, like a stranger,
a-heh, just might come in through
here with a gun... and then, what
would you do? (Heh.)"
"Everything is immaterial..."
"'n' you know that reality is immaterial."
"This is not reality..."

I'm kneeling on the floor
staring at the wall
like the spider in the window
I wish that I could speak
Is there fantasy in refuge?
God in politicians?
Should I turn on my religion?
These demons in my head tell me to

I'm lying here in bed
Swear my skin is inside out
Just another Sunday morning

Seen my diary on the newsstand
Seems we've lost the truth to quicksand
It's a shame no one is praying
'Cause these voices in my head
keep saying...

'Love, just don't stare.'
'Reveal the Word when you're
supposed to'
Withdrawn and introverted
Infectiously perverted
'Being laughed at and confused
keeps us pleasantly amused
enough to stay.'

Maybe I'm just Cassandra fleeting
Twentieth century Icon bleeding
Willing to risk Salvation
to escape from isolation

I'm witness to redemption
heard you speak but never listened
Can you rid me of my secrets?
Deliver us from Darkness?

Voices repeating me
'Feeling threatened?
We reflect your hopes and fears.'
Voices discussing me
Don't expect your own Messiah
This neverworld which you desire
is only in your mind.

This song means alot to me also. I talk to alot of people about music, and to most of them this song is just a rant from a lonely guy. But, again, it's so much more than that. This song tells us of a way of life -- a way I, myself, live by. The notion of Love, Don't Stare means, to me, that the one problem in life is that there is no love, only gain. If everyone would love no matter what religion, color, race, hobby.. etc.. There are so many factors about life that keep people apart. But I believe that everyone is worth loving. Everyone can benifit everyone else. If we could only get these blind ideals out of our heads, accept each others' differences, the world could be a much, much, better place.

"Love, just don't stare"

[Astrid]

I've been in the mood for Nevermore a lot lately, particularly this song. It inspires me on a tremendous level.

Band: Nevermore

Song: Insignificant

Ours is not to question the reasons why
Crippled indecision repeats the path I once denied
Insignificant, am I ?
The color of sundown,of crimson sky
The beauty that breaks down
And gives the day unto the night

And then one day you'll realize
Just a speck in the spectrum
Insignificant,am I ?
And then one day you'll realize
The beauty that breaks down
never learns the reason why

scan my horizon as blue turns to black
the sky is gone again
and all beneath are born to die
insignificant,am I ?

And then one day you'll realize
Just a speck in the spectrum
Insignificant,am I ?
And then one day you'll realize
The beauty that breaks down
never learns the reason why


***

As the lyrics and title both suggest, it tells a tale of one questioning his validity in the world and the obvious lack of fairness between the roles of individuals in this world. He is a pawn, just as the majority of the human race is, to some presumably higher power. The previously mentioned power can be human, as many of us are just pawns to political games and we never truly learn why these things happen, we just hear petty lies in forms of propoganda. It can also be taken in a spiritual sense where one questions his role in the cosmic sense, in reference to the classic ideal of fate. Regardless, this song appeals to me greatly because, by nature, I am a person who has always questioned everything, probably to an annoying extent. If I'm denied something, I'll always ask for the reason, and it has to be just. This is partially why I decided to persue philosophy as a career choice -- which is, in essense, a search for the truth. "Philosophy" literally translates into "Love of Wisdom" from ancient Greek.

It also inspires me on a fictional level. I can almost see cutscenes (Heh, too much FFXI) of some fantastic tale every time I hear it, most likely because the music is so enchanting. I just wish I could put it all together, but I always see little bits and pieces. Anyway, that's my song

[Retehi]

Cypress Hill - Insane in the Membrane

Old school and funny, nuff' said.

[Dorian]

Screw the one a day.. My Mood Fluctuates ro much for me to only post one a day

Band: Billy Joel
Song: She's Alwyas A Women To Me
Lyrics:

She's Always A Woman

She can kill with a smile
She can wound with her eyes
She can ruin your faith with her casual lies
And she only reveals what she wants you to see
She hides like a child
But she's always a woman to me

She can lead you to live
She can take you or leave you
She can ask for the truth
But she'll never believe you
And she'll take what you give her as long as it's free
She steals like a thief
But she's always a woman to me

Oh, she takes care of herself
She can wait if she wants
She's ahead of her time
Oh, and she never gives out
And she never gives in
She just changes her mind

She will promise you more
Than the Garden of Eden
Then she'll carelessly cut you
And laugh while you're bleedin'
But she'll bring out the best
And the worst you can be
Blame it all on yourself
Cause she's always a woman to me

She is frequently kind
And she's suddenly cruel
She can do as she pleases
She's nobody's fool
But she can't be convicted
She's earned her degree
And the most she will do
Is throw shadows at you
But she's always a woman to me

Haha, This is my Chimaera song. This song explains her pesrsonality more than she can herself. It also explains how the world will see her, but, "She's Always a Women to Me" Everytime I hear this song or even think about it, I can't help but cry. The power of love is amazing, to think, it's possible for one person to love another so much that the mere thought of them will change "shit" to "gold".

Sigh.. I love that girl.

[Kari]

I can't even follow a post like that..

Pish.

-Ferra

[psobsesser]

Well, you can look at my sig for an obvious one.

But another song of LP that is one of my favorites is "In the End"

Ahh....


"It starts with one
thing, I don't know why, it doesn't even matter how hard ya try
Keep that in mind I designed this rhyme to explain in due time
All I know
Time is a valuable thing, watch it count down as the pendalum swings
Watch it count down to the end of the day the clock ticks life away
It's so unreal
Didn't look out below, watch the time go right out the window
Trying to hold on, but didn't even know that I wasted it all
Just to watch you go
I kept everything inside and even though I tried, it all fell apart
What it meant to me will eventually be a memory of a time that

*I tried so hard, and got so far
But in the end, it doesn't even matter.
I had to fall and lose it all,
But in the end, it doesn't even matter.*

One thing, I don't know why
it doesn't even matter how hard ya try
keep that in mind I designed this rhyme to remind myself
how I tried so hard
Despite of the way you were mocking me,
I acted like I was part of your property
Remembering all the times you've faught with me
I'm surprised it got so far.
Things aren't the way they were before
You wouldn't even recognize me anymore
Not that you knew me back then but it all comes back to me
In the end
I kept everything inside and even though I tried it all fell apart
What it meant to me will eventually be a memory of a time that

*chorus*

I put my trust in you, pushed as far as I can go
For all this, there's only one thing you should know

I put my trust in you, pushed as far as I can go
For all this, there's only one thing you should know....

*chorus*


It's amazing too because I haven't listened for that song since last summer, but I still remember it so well. That's what I love about music; it doesn't fade from memory.

[unitself]

ok...
Here's another one.
Autechre - vose in
Most excellent tune. A simpler song for Autechre, but all the signature stylings are still there.

Hey Cam... someone once said that Billy Joel song was written about my mom. hahha...

[Sieranis]

Hmm...here's a song I like, it may not be as symbolic as any of your posts, but...to me it means a lot.

Feeder - Yesterday Went Too Soon

Sitting in today, watching traffic buzzing by, and faces nosing in
A victim of regret, it glitters and it fades away, like silver turning grey
Washed it all away, waiting for this dream to end, before it sucks me in

I'm climbing high, up above the streets and rows of neon lights
I'm holding out my hand but I'm alone
Wish I could show you
Wish you could see through my eyes
Tomorrow shines through
But I'm missing yesterday

Crashing on the ground, the silence seems to suffocate, and bury me again
Waiting for a taste, of happiness to lift me free, and carry me away

I'm climbing high, up above the streets and rows of neon lights
I know it's just a dream but I'm alive
Wish I could show you
Wish you could see through my eyes
Tomorrow shines through
But I'm missing yesterday
I'm still missing yesterday
I'll wait, I'll wait for you tonight.

Lost another week, feeling like a leper in, a world of vanity
It's killing me today, addiction pulls you down, you know
And she's the drug I need

Wish I could show you
Wish you could see through my eyes
Tomorrow shines through
But I'm missing yesterday
Wish I could show you
Wish you could see through my eyes
Tomorrow shines through
But I'm missing yesterday.

[Guest_Zio_*]

Listen to a whole lot of Incubus and a whole lot of Lost Prophets "The fake sound of progress" which is much better than the new one they have out.

Song: Just breathe
Band: Telepopmusik
Genre: Trance
Lyrics:

I brought you something close to me,
Left for something you see though your here.
You haunt my dreams
There's nothing to do but believe,
Just Believe.
Just Breathe.

Another day, just believe,
Another day, just breathe

I'm used to it by now.
Just breathe.
Lying in my bed,
Another day, staring at the ceiling.

This song is absolutely gorgeous ambient music, if you're in a mellow mood. I highly recommend you download, or buy (The CD is amazing <3)

Band: Nevermore
Song: Eolution 169
Lyrics:

Welcome to the pleasure dome,
now take a seat the crowd is watching you
Just rats in this experiment
Now learn the maze but don't tear yourself in two
Don't let it pull you down

And one by one we crawl, and two by two
Into the mouth of madness, we seek the perfect view
We reach another turn then fall out of time
In organized chaos
Evolution 169

You can touch but never taste the answers
Like the way that I want you
Today I killed my ego, if hell is real
Dear god please tie mynoose
And then he pulled me down

And one by one we crawl, and two by two
Into the mouth of madness we seek the perfect view
We reach another turn then fall out of time
In organized chaos
Evolution 169
And one by one we crawl, and two by two
Into the mouth of madness, we fly away

Don't set your mind to one side
Don't set your mind to one side

This song speaks for itself.

[Riel]

Lots of peeps seem to like Nevermore...i probably heard some songs from them but the name doesn't ring a bell,i will have to stop by a "record" store and grab something from them.

[DarkEpyon]

Group: Jam Project
Song: Victory

One part of it is particular uplifting.
V-I-C-T-ORY! 3-2-1-0 Never give up! OH YEAH!

The song is in japanese, but it's got a catchy beat to it.

[Marn]

Artist: Dream Theater
Song: Innocence Faded

Lyrics:

Animation
breathes a cloudless mind
Fascination
leaves the doubting blind
Until the circle breaks and wisdom lies ahead
the faithful live Awake
the rest remain misled

Some will transcend spinning years
One as if time disappears

Innocence faded
the mirror falls behind you
Trinity jaded
I break down walls to find you

Callow and vain
fixed like a fossil, shrouding pain
Passionless stage
Distant like brothers
Wearing apathetic displays
Sharing flesh like envy in cages
Condescending
Not intending to end

Some will transcend spinning years
One as if time disappears

Innocence faded
the mirror falls behind you
Trinity jaded
I break down walls to find you

Beginnings get complicated
the farther we progress
Opinions are calculated
Immune to openness

Beyond the circle's edge
We're driven by her blessings
Forever hesitating
Caught beneath the wheel

Innocence faded
the mirror falls behind you
Cynically jaded
The child will crawl to find you

[Dive]

Artist: Godflesh
Song: Frail

Owe yourself, but no one else
Behind your eyes, inside your head
Reach in, but don't reach out
I'll come and try, if only in vain
I've never watched in shame, I've never watched in vain
Don't ever change no, just stay the same...

A rare melodic tune from Godflesh, known for their heavy use of pounding drum sequencers and grinding guitar/bass detunings. Minimal repeated verses augment the bleak undertones of the progression.

[unitself]

Special thanks goes out to Sgt. Retehi for reminding me of my roots with this one.

Band: The White Stripes (Covering Dolly Parton)
Song: Jolene

Lyrics:

Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
I’m begging of you please don’t take my man
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Please don’t take him just because you can
Your beauty is beyond compare
With flaming locks of auburn hair
With ivory skin and eyes of emerald green
Your smile is like a breath of spring
Your voice is soft like summer rain
And I cannot compete with you, Jolene

He talks about you in his sleep
There’s nothing I can do to keep
From crying when he calls your name, Jolene

And I can easily understand
How you could easily take my man
But you don’t know what he means to me, Jolene

Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
I’m begging of you please don't take my man
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Please don’t take him just because you can

You could have your choice of men
But I could never love again
He’s the only one for me, Jolene

I had to have this talk with you
My happiness depends on you
And whatever you decide to do, Jolene

Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
I'm begging of you please don’t take my man
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Please don’t take him even though you can
Jolene, Jolene

Razed In Black - Damage Inc.

Just something I found off a CD-R from a few years ago, hard gothic/techno sound to it, so I'm likin' it right now.

[unitself]

Totally breaking the rules here, but ...
Today the CD of the day is
Artist - Killing Joke
CD Name - Pandemonium

With this CD, Killing Joke moved into a similar but more (bad description here) up-to-date sound. Starting out as more of a punk band many many years ago, they reached big success with the excellent album Night Time which has the anthem song for the decade 'Eighties' on it. Damn that song rocks... the entire album does. Anyway, many years and albums later... Pandemonium. Sounds to me like they had been listening to Ministry the day before they wrote many of the songs. Not a bad thing, you can just really hear the similarities. Standouts for me include Exorcism, Millenium and Whiteout.

Thanks to a certain AT'er, I have been listening to all of my old music again. The stuff that I used to listen to 10 - 15 years ago. It's been awesome.

[DivA]

era : enae volare mezzo
~i remember this track being incorporated into the film, les visiteurs - many of their tracks are decent, but this one shall stand as one for the collection.. ^^

[Astrid]

Quite possibly the saddest song in existence:

Band: Kansas

Song: Dust in the Wind

I close my eyes, only for a moment, and the moment's gone
All my dreams, pass before my eyes, a curiosity
Dust in the wind, all they are is dust in the wind.
Same old song, just a drop of water in an endless sea
All we do, crumbles to the ground, though we refuse to see

Dust in the wind, all we are is dust in the wind

[Now] Don't hang on, nothing lasts forever but the earth and sky
It slips away, and all your money won't another minute buy.

Dust in the wind, all we are is dust in the wind
Dust in the wind, everything is dust in the wind.

[Kari]

Band: Poe

Song: Angry Johnny

Lyrics:

Johnny, Angry Johnny, this is Jezebel in Hell
I wanna kill you, I wanna blow you...away

I can do it you gently
I can do it with an animal's grace
I can do it with precision
I can do it with gormet taste

But either way
Either (way), either way
I wanna kill you
I wanna blow you...
Away

I can do it to your mind
I can do it to your face
I can do it with integrity
I can do it with disgrace

I can do it in a church
I can do it any time or place
I can do it like an angel
To quiet down your rage

I can do it in the water
I can do on dry land
I can do it with instruments
I can do it with my own bare hands

Where did your pleasure go
When the pain came through you
Where did your happiness go
This hussies running you around now
Getting you down now
Where is your pleasure now Johnny
Where has your pleasure gone now

Johnny, Angry Johnny...

Elton John
Song: Rocket Man
Lyrics:

She packed my bags last night pre-flight
Zero hour nine a.m.
And I’m gonna be high as a kite by then
I miss the earth so much I miss my wife
It’s lonely out in space
On such a timeless flight

And I think it’s gonna be a long long time
Till touch down brings me round again to find
I’m not the man they think I am at home
Oh no no no I’m a rocket man
Rocket man burning out his fuse up here alone

Mars ain’t the kind of place to raise your kids
In fact it’s cold as hell
And there’s no one there to raise them if you did
And all this science I don’t understand
It’s just my job five days a week
A rocket man, a rocket man

And I think it’s gonna be a long long time...

Yeah i've been watchin'.. while you've been coughin'

Go on and save yourself
And take it out on me!

[hamstar]

I’ve got a lovely bunch of coconuts
There they are all standing in a row
Big ones, small ones, some as big as your head
Give them a twist a flick of the wrist
That’s what the showman said
I’ve got a lovely bunch of coconuts
Every ball you throw will make me rich
There stands my wife, the idol of me life
Singing roll a bowl a ball a penny a pitch
Roll a bowl a ball a penny a pitch
Roll a bowl a ball a penny a pitch
Roll a bowl a ball, roll a bowl a ball
Singing roll a bowl a ball a penny a pitch
I’ve got a lovely bunch of coconuts (they’re lovely)
There they are all standing in a row (one, two, three, four)
Big ones, small ones, some as big as your head (and bigger)
Give them a twist a flick of the wrist
That’s what the showman said
I’ve got a lovely bunch of coconuts
Every ball you throw will make me rich
There stands my wife, the idol of me life
Singing roll a bowl a ball a penny a pitch (all together now)
Roll a bowl a ball a penny a pitch (harmony)
Roll a bowl a ball a penny a pitch
Roll a bowl a ball, roll a bowl a ball
Singing roll a bowl a ball a penny a pitch


...yah that's actually what I'm listening too.

Streetlight Manifesto - Here's to Life
Lyrics:

How did Camus really die that night?
Were they right?
When he died was it really his time?
Or was it suicide?
And Holden Caulfield is a friend of mine,
we go drinking from time to time.
And I find it gets harder every time.

Back off,
but you're out on the street again.
Don't you stop,
did you know you couldn't swim.
Back off
until you're out on the street again.
I'm not going to play if there ain't no way i'll win.

Hemingway never seemed to mind the banality of a normal life,
and I find it gets harder every time.
So he aimed the shotgun into the blue
placed his face in between the two and sighed. Here's to life!

Back off,
but you're out on the street again.
Don't you stop,
did you know you couldn't swim.
Back off,
until you're out on the street again.
I'm not going to play if there ain't no way I'll win.

Hey there Salinger, what did you do?
Just when the world was looking for you
to write anything that meant anything,
you told us you were through.
And it's been years since you passed away
but I see no plaque, and I see no grave,
and I can't help believing that you wanted it that way

And Vincent Van Gogh, why do you weep?
You were on your way to heaven but the road was steep
and who was there to break your fall?
We're guilty, one and all.
And I don't know much, but I do know this: with a golden heart comes a rebel fist.
But I can't help agreeing with those that would not quit.

And it makes me sick when I think of it
all my heroes could not live with this.
And I hope you rest in peace because because with us you never did.
And you were much too young,
and you changed my life,
but I draw the line at suicide.
So here's to life!

Sammy was low
Just watching the show
Over and over again
Knew it was time
He'd made up his mind
To leave his dead life behind
His boss said to him
'Boy you'd better begin
To get those crazy notions right out of your head
Sammy who do you think that you are?
You should've been sweeping up the Emerald bar'

Spread your wings and fly away
Fly away far away
Spread your little wings and fly away
Fly away far away
Pull yourself together
'Cos you know you should do better
That's because you're a free man

He spends his evenings alone in his hotel room
Keeping his thoughts to himself he'd be leaving soon
Wishing he was miles and miles away
Nothing in this world nothing would make him stay

Since he was small
Had no luck at all
Nothing came easy to him
Now it was time
He'd made up his mind
'This could be my last chance'

His boss said to him 'now listen boy
You're always dreaming
You've got no real ambition you won't get very far
Sammy boy don't you know who you are?
Why can't you be happy at the Emerald bar?'

So honey
Spread your wings and fly away
Fly away far away
Spread your little wings and fly away
Fly away far away
Pull yourself together
'Cos you know you should do better
That's because you're a free man
Come on honey

OK GO - We dug a hole

his head is a big black hole
full of big black things
and it sucks so hard
you could never miss the mark

true to form, no ones ever seen anything come (out)
ouch, what a travesty, what a sad fate
sigh, someone get a band-aid please
we gotta get this guy a machine for his cranium

i mean i don't need
maybe i don't hear what i need
this never really goes anywhere

we dug a hole
and put our heads in it

this winter they come too quick and broad
with not enough hot spiced cider or cinnamon toast

you never think you know this but when you got a dead start
sucking up both times in your brain
things start to change

and for the record let me say
its not his fault that things never change
the summer is always too short

and still they broke up for a guy with a black hole in his head
and you'll never meet him anyway

we dug a hole
and put our heads in it

[Dorian]

I got my black shirt on.
I got my black gloves on.
I got my ski mask on.
This shit's been too long.

I got my twelve gauge sawed off.
I got my headlights turned off.
I'm 'bout to bust some shots off.
I'm 'bout to dust some cops off.


Cop killer, better you than me.
Cop killer, f**k police brutality!
Cop killer, I know your family's grievin'

Tonight'll be your night.

and your neck looks just right.
My adrenaline's pumpin'.
I got my stereo bumpin'.
I'm 'bout to kill me somethin'
A pig stopped me for nuthin'!


Cop killer, better you than me.
Cop killer, f**k police brutality!
Cop killer, I know your mama's grievin'

F**k the police, for your freedom.
F**k the police, don't be a pussy.
F**k the police, have some muthaf**kin' courage.
F**k the police, sing along.

I love this song.

[Dorian]

Carry on my wayward son
There'll be peace when you are done
Lay your weary head to rest
Don't you cry no more
Once I rose above the noise and confusion
Just to get a glimpse beyond this illusion
I was soaring ever higher
But I flew too high
Though my eyes could see I still was a blind man
Though my mind could think I still was a mad man
I can hear the voices when I'm dreaming
I can hear them say
Carry on my wayward son
There'll be peace when you are done
Lay your weary head to rest
Don't you cry no more
Masquerading as a man with a reason
My charade is the event of the season
And if I claim to be a wise man
It surely means that I don't know
On a stormy sea of moving emotion
Tossed about I'm like a ship on the ocean
I set a course for winds of fortune
But I hear the voices say
Carry on my wayward son
There'll be peace when you are done
Lay your weary head to rest
Don't you cry no more
No!
Carry on
You will always remember
Carry on
Nothing equals the splendor
Now your life's no longer empty
Surely heaven waits for you
Carry on my wayward son
There'll be peace when you are done
Lay your weary head to rest
Don't you cry no more

Ferry Corsten - It's Time [Album Version]

A week or a day since you took your touch away
A second that was mine is now in the past
I've been tryin to hide all that you left behind
I'm protected by hope that one day you'll be back

Spendin my time waitin for your heart to find a moment that is mine
I'm countin on time to bring your love back to me
Don't let it pass you by

It's Time

Every word that you said is still alive inside my head
The footprints of your eyes were deep in my mind
I want to move on but history is hard in me still
I'm trapped in the loop still I give us a chance

Spendin my time waitin for your heart to find a moment that is mine
I'm countin on time to bring your love back to me
Don't let it pass you by

It's Time

If you're into the breakbeat scene, you'll enjoy this (Mute knows what I'm talking about ). It has a bit of an old school feel to it compared to present day breaks. But hey, anything from Ferry Corsten is OK!
Oh and this should give you an idea of what I spin =)

"Pardon Me"-Incubus


Pardon me while I burst
pardon me while I burst

A decade ago, I never thought I would be at twenty three
on the verge of spontaneous combustion, woe is me
but I guess that it comes with the territory
an ominous landscape of never ending calamity
I need you to hear, I need you to see
that I have had all I can take
and exploding seems like a definite possibility to me

So pardon me while I burst into flames
I've had enough of the world
and its people's mindless games
so pardon me while I burn
and rise above the flame
pardon me, pardon me
I'll never be the same

Not two days ago I was having a look in a book
and I saw a picture of a guy fried up above his knees
I said I can relate
cause lately I've been thinking of combustication
as a welcomed vacation from
the burdens of the planet earth
like gravity, hypocrisy, and the perils of being in 3-D
but thinking so much differently

Pardon me while I burst into flames
I've had enough of the world
and its people's mindless games
so pardon me while I burn
and rise above the flame
pardon me, pardon me
I'll never be the same
never be the same, yeah

Pardon me while I burst into flames
pardon me, pardon me, pardon me

So pardon me while I burst into flames
I've had enough of the world
and its people's mindless games
so pardon me while I burn
and rise above the flame
pardon me, pardon me
I'll never be the same
pardon me, never be the same, yeah

"Broken"-Seether ((Featuring Amy Lee))


I wanted you to know I love the way you laugh
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain away
I keep your photograph; I know it serves me well
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain

‘Cause I’m broken when I’m lonesome
And I don’t feel right when you’re gone away
You've gone away, you don't feel me, anymore

The worst is over now and we can breathe again
I wanna hold you high, you steal my pain away
There’s so much left to learn, and no one left to fight
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain

‘Cause I’m broken when I’m open
And I don’t feel like I am strong enough
‘Cause I’m broken when I’m lonesome
And I don’t feel right when you’re gone away

‘Cause I’m broken when I’m open
And I don’t feel like I am strong enough
‘Cause I’m broken when I’m lonesome
And I don’t feel right when you’re gone away

'Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome
And I don't feel right when you're gone away
You've gone away
You don't feel me here anymore

Dragostea din tei


Ma-ia-hii
Ma-ia-huu
Ma-ia-hoo
Ma-ia-haa
Alo Salut sunt eu un haiduc
Si te rog iubirea mea primeste fericirea.
Alo alo sunt eu Picasso
Ti-am dat beep si sunt voinic
Dar sa stii nu-ti cer nimic.

Vrei sa pleci dar nu ma nu ma iei
Nu ma nu ma iei nu ma nu ma nu ma iei.
Chipul tau si dragostea din tei
Mi-amintesc de ochii tai.

Te sun sa-ti spun ce simt acum
Alo iubirea mea sunt eu fericirea.
Alo alo sunt iarasi eu Picasso
Ti-am dat beep si sunt voinic
Dar sa stii nu-ti cer nimic.

Ma-ia-hii
Ma-ia-huu

I've been listening to this for an hour now.
I know the lyrics and i don't know what language it's in (best guess: Romanian or Slovackian(sp.))

[Riel]

Some folks are born made to wave the flag,
Ooh, they're red, white and blue.
And when the band plays "hail to the chief",
Ooh, they point the cannon at you, lord,

It ain't me, it ain't me, i ain't no senator's son, son.
It ain't me, it ain't me; i ain't no fortunate one, no,

Yeah!
Some folks are born silver spoon in hand,
Lord, don't they help themselves, oh.
But when the taxman comes to the door,
Lord, the house looks like a rummage sale, yes,

It ain't me, it ain't me, i ain't no millionaire's son
It ain't me, it ain't me; i ain't no fortunate one, no.

Some folks inherit star spangled eyes,
Ooh, they send you down to war, lord,
And when you ask them, "how much should we give?"
Ooh, they only answer more! more! more! yoh,

It ain't me, it ain't me, i ain't no military son, son.
It ain't me, it ain't me; i ain't no fortunate one, one.

It ain't me, it ain't me, i ain't no fortunate one, no no no,
It ain't me, it ain't me, i ain't no fortunate son, no no no,

Where is everybody? by NIN

Did you happen to catch
And did it happen so fast
To what you thought would always last
Has passed you by
Is everything speeding up?
Or am I slowing down?
I'm just spinning around
And I don't know why
All the pieces don't fit
But I didn't really didn't give a shit
(I never wanted to be like you)
But for all I aspire, I'm really a liar...
And I'm running out of things I can do.

I'd like to stay
But everyday
Everything pushes me further away
If you could show
Help me to know
How it's supposed to be
Where did it go???

pleading and
needing and
bleeding and
breeding and
feeding
exceeding
Where is everybody?
trying and
lying
defying
denying
crying and
dying
Where is everybody?

OK enough
You've had your fun
but come on there has got to be someone
that hasn't yet become
So numb
And succumb
and
God damn I am so tired of pretending
of Wishing I was ending
when all I'm really doing is trying to hide
and keep it all inside
and fill it with lies
open my eyes?
maybe I wish I could try


pleading and
needing and
bleeding and
breeding and
feeding
exceeding
Where is everybody?
trying and
lying
defying
denying
crying and
dying
Where is everybody?

This one's for all the whiners out there:

ARTIST: Ralph McTell

SONG: Streets of London

Have you seen the old man
In the closed-down market
Kicking up the paper,
with his worn out shoes?
In his eyes you see no pride
And held loosely at his side
Yesterday's paper telling yesterday's news

So how can you tell me you're lonely,
And say for you that the sun don't shine?
Let me take you by the hand and lead you through the streets of London
I'll show you something to make you change your mind

Have you seen the old girl
Who walks the streets of London
Dirt in her hair and her clothes in rags?
She's no time for talking,
She just keeps right on walking
Carrying her home in two carrier bags.

So how can you tell me you're lonely,
And say for you that the sun don't shine?
Let me take you by the hand and lead you through the streets of London
I'll show you something to make you change your mind

In the all night cafe
At a quarter past eleven,
Same old man is sitting there on his own
Looking at the world
Over the rim of his tea-cup,
Each tea last an hour
Then he wanders home alone

So how can you tell me you're lonely,
And say for you that the sun don't shine?
Let me take you by the hand and lead you through the streets of London
I'll show you something to make you change your mind

And have you seen the old man
Outside the seaman's mission
Memory fading with
The medal ribbons that he wears.
In our winter city,
The rain cries a little pity
For one more forgotten hero
And a world that doesn't care

So how can you tell me you're lonely,
And say for you that the sun don't shine?
Let me take you by the hand and lead you through the streets of London
I'll show you something to make you change your mind

Bandits of the Acoustic Revolution - Dear Sergio

Lyrics:
Run, run, run all you do is fucking run but you’ll never run away from yourself. I know it’s hard but you’ve been there before and you know you’re gonna be there again. I don’t care what the stars may say because they always feed their bullshit to me. It’s kinda sad how you lost what you had and you’re never gonna have it again and so I say:

Hey Sergio, it’s getting kind of hot in here
And so I say:
Hey Sergio, you’ve got to get us out of here
And so I say:
Hey

Every other day you don’t care what they say because they always leave you two steps behind. You try to smile and it lasts for a while but they always send you back to the start. Eenie meenie miney mo they shoot down everyone you know and then they leave you there all alone. You wish they’d stop but they never give up and you know deep inside that you’re stuck and so I say:

Hey Sergio, it’s getting kind of hot in here
And so I say:
Hey Sergio, you’ve got to get us out of here
And so I say:
Hey

Sergio laughed for the last time today, He said “It never really bothered me: we all have dues to pay” Like a man that’s cut off at the knee, he hobbles and hobbles because nothing is free. So wake up, wake up, wake up but don’t cry because you’ll fuck up your make up and if you do, you won’t get laid, you won’t make money, no you won’t get paid. So you act so free, you act so free, everybody’s happy because you act so free. Well you might fool them, but you can’t fool me with your mindless chatter like “I don’t need them, I don’t need help” I don’t even need to see the end.

Hey Sergio, it’s getting kind of hot in here
And so I say:
Hey Sergio, you’ve got to get us out of here
And so I say:
Hey

Taking back Sunday

Great Romances Of The 20th Century

september never stays this cold
where i come from
and you know..
i'm not one for complaining
but i love the way you'd roll
excuses off the tip of your tongue
as i slowly fall apart, slowly, quietly
fall apart

this won't mean a thing come tomorrow
and that's exactly how i'll make it seem
'cause i'm still not sleeping,
thinking i've crawled home from worse than this

so please, please
i'm running out of sympathy!
and i never said i'd take this..
i never said i'd take this lying down

she says
"come on, come on, let's just get this over with"
i never said i'd take this lying down, let's just get this over with,
and i've crawled home from worse than this
she says
"come on, come on, let's just get this over with"
she says
"come on, come on.."

you always come close, but this never comes easy,
i still know everything
you always come close, but you never come easy,
you always come so close...
i still know everything

you always come close but this never comes easy
you always come... you come in close

i never said i'd take this lying down
but i've crawled home from worse than this

if it's not keeping you up nights
then what's the point?

*edit*

more lyrics, because i (heart) death cab :0

Death Cab for Cutie

Your Bruise

it's a backwards attraction to your forward eyes
but you're so far-sighted that you can't place trust
in what or who you recognize
we sped the plymouth cross the banks of the mississippi river
mary timony was smaller then a super ball...
chitter-chatter all these secrets started giving me the shivers
plain and simply broken down near olympia
i think your bruise was understanded,
'cause you can't feel this anymore
it's getting bluer and you can't keep faking
that you can't feel this anymore


-----

and THOSE are my crappy late-night lyrics d: yay for crappy taking back sunday

Cradle of Filth - Born in a Burial Gown

Sibilant and macabre
Walpurgis sauntered in
Skies litten with five-pointed stars
The work of crafts surpassing sin
As She graced Her window ledge
- An orphaned gypsy nymph
This issue of the forest's bed
Skin flushed with sipped absinthe -
Her eyes revealed, as Brocken's peak
Tried once concealing Hell
A snow white line of divine freaks
In riot, where they fell...

The circus lurches in, a ring of promised delight
For seven days and seven festival nights
What wicked wonders lie within the comfines
Of the panther's den

She watches from a maypole, on the rip of Her tongue
The restless spirit of Christmas to come
A Gretel sick of merely sucking Her thumb
Than gingerbread men

Spawned scorned, abhorred by the aerial
She was the light of the world going down
War-torn, forlorn and malarial
She was found
Born in a burial gown

Unloosed, the chain of Her god-given cross
Seduced, now pagan ribbons swathe Her repose
In a carnival of souls sold and similarly lost

Too many decades misfit and mislaid
In innocence, a tender legend of prey
Parades Her second coming, now they're running afraid

Spawned scorned, abhorred by the aerial
She was the light of the world going down
War-torn, forlorn and malarial
She was found
Born in a burial gown

Now She moves with a predator's guile
Beyond the firelit circle of life
She soothes your cold heart for a while
Then matches its beat, synching in with a knife
She wrestles Her dreams with a delicate case
Espied by Her cross on the wall
And should She awake, through embrace or mistake
She would take Jesus
Bless foot forward and all...

Sibiliant and at last
The circus crawled away
With another lover in its arms
Dancing on Her grave...

-----------------

A song that drove my neighbors to send their damn butler over to tell me to shut my music off.

So what if it's 3:00 AM!

[Dorian]

Black Sabbath - Heaven and Hell

Sing me a song, you're a singer
Do me a wrong, you're a bringer of evil
The Devil is never a maker
The less that you give, you're a taker
So it's on and on and on, it's Heaven and Hell, oh well

The lover of life's not a sinner
The ending is just a beginner
The closer you get to the meaning
the sooner you'll know that you're dreaming
So it's on and on and on, oh it's on and on and on
It goes on and on and on, Heaven and Hell

I can tell, fool, fool!

Well if it seems to be real, it's illusion
For every moment of truth, there's confusion in life
Love can be seen as the answer, but nobody bleeds for the dancer

And it's on and on, on and on and on....

They say that life's a carousel
Spinning fast, you've got to ride it well
The world is full of Kings and Queens
Who blind your eyes and steal your dreams

It's Heaven and Hell, oh well

And they'll tell you black is really white
The moon is just the sun at night
And when you walk in golden halls
You get to keep the gold that falls
It's Heaven and Hell, oh no!
Fool, fool!
You've got to bleed for the dancer!
Fool, fool!
Look for the answer!
Fool, fool, fool!


If you really read the lyrics, you'll notice that in every verse where they mention the word "Life" the don't mention heaven and hell. Excluding the second verse cause they're not mentioning life as in life, they are saying "A lover of life"

Basiclly Life is Heaven and Hell. It's what you make of it.

[Dorian]

Some want to think hope is lost see me stand alone
I can't do what others may want then I'll have no home

So for now wave good-bye and leave your hands held high
Hear this song of courage long into the night
So for now wave good-bye and leave your hands held high
Hear this song of courage long into the night

And the wind will bear my cry to all who hope to fly
Hear this song of courage ride into the night

Battles are fought by those with the courage to believe
They are won by those who find the heart
Find a heart to share
This heart that fills the soul will point the way to victory
If there's a fight then I'll be there, I'll be there

So for now wave good-bye, leave your hands held high
Hear this song of courage long into the night
And the wind will bear my cry to all who hope to fly
Lift your wings up high my friend fearless to the end
So for now wave good-bye, leave your hands held high
Hear this song of courage ride into the night

[Riel]

"She's so cold and human
It's something humans do
She stays so golden solo,she's so number 9
She's incredible math
Just incredible math.

And is she really human
She's just so something new
A waking lithium flower,just about to bloom
I smell lithium now
Smelling lithium now.

How is she when she doesn't surf
How is she when she doesn't surf
How is she when she doesn't surf
I wonder what she does when she wakes up
When she wakes up."

I love this closing theme song from Ghost in The Shell series.

[Dorian]

This is an awesome song. I dedicate it to Tanshin, Crush and the rest of the Ninja Crew. Much thanks to Crush's brother for the awesome rapping that he does.

Zenivstans

Tanshin, The Lone Dragoon
Taking my sword and killing under the moon
Sneak into your home like solid snake
You’ll be alive long enough to hear your own neck break
Move to the next house walking like a samurai
Head a little to the south stalking like a budokai

I kill five when I wake
I kill five guys before I rake
I kill five guys after I kill five guys
I kill five guys who killed five files

Everyone says I cause so much mayhem
Just because I kill thirteen guys before eight AM
You can’t blame me for slitting your necks
Doing it while you’re driving and causing some wrecks
You think you can step up then show me
But if you talk shit and do nothing then blow me
Get the fuck out my place acting like you know me
Wait to late I killed you go me

Back here I am
Another fucking jam
Don’t cross me I’ll cut you up like ham
Busting out rhymes not by myself
Using beats not off the shelf

Kevin doesn’t know shit
You know he’ll fucking blow it
You think he can rhyme just wasting time
Down on the floor he’s sucking his thumb
That’s fucking right my lyrics made him numb
Such a fucking bitch
I fixed his women’s itch
My dick went limp
On his fucking lip
Motherfuckers know that I’m the Mac pimp

Hey yo Tanshin yea I killed five guys
I picked them out of the air
Just like Mr. Miyagi flies
You think that makes you special?
You think that makes you smart?
You know I’m a million times the ninja that thou art

Throwing down the gauntlet
You ganna challenge me?
I’ll show you have ruthless this hyper ninja be
Just like all ninjas I enjoy a fight
Common Tanshin lets make this party right

Someone is bout to get punched in his face
Don’t run I hate to give you chase
Like to make my kill quick
Killed your face
Makes me sick
It’s your ass that I kick
I’ll show you what ninja trick
Zenislev stand and look cool
Even though inside you nothing but a fool
I’ll chop your fucking head in half
Cause I don’t give a fuck
Then I’ll look at it and laugh
Cause that’s just your luck

Don’t you hate it when you feel the shit coming on?
Then you go to shit it out and drop that bomb
But just when you push it to get out all the feces
Instead of a big log you get little recess pieces
But at least in the end you don’t have to wipe
As long as that paper’s clean there’s no need to gripe

When I spit out turds it just like a birds
That’s what I do when I take a poo
You’re ganan fight me on the mic
I’ll teach you like I taught that dike

Yeah, my brother is the shit when it comes to rapping on ninja jams. He's like MC Hammer with a katana.

I'm like THIS close to getting him to buy FFXI and come play with us.

[Gabriell]

I'm not a big fan of death metal, or whatever sub-genre you would classify this as.
However, there are two sections in this song, and the second section is this beutiful, jazz/blues/classic influenced part, which I love. And I think it's really cool that a band can go from something like that to something like this. So I'll only cover the part that I like.

Between the Buried and Me - Mordecai

Living dreams,
loving dreams,
awakening
to what I've always dreamt of.
The familiar sound of lovely love from the
love of my life will keep the notes coming.
From the reciting of the show,
from the plip and the shevanel,
from the grind that annoys,
and the sarcasm, they all hate.
forever I worship.
I'll kill, love, and hate for all of you.
Thank you for the best part of my life.

OK, this next song is for Dive.

Here is why:

Dive always comes to me, crying his little eyes out. He's too sensitive. I don't know what to do anymore, so I wanna post this song 'cause I feel that it's about him. I hope he likes it.

Song for Dive.

[Wiryu]

The song works ha ha, dive, its ok /comfort

[unitself]

A friend of mine sent me a link to a video game music 'net radio site.

That's what I have been listening to for a while.
Crazy music!

[Kari]

I wake alone
in a woman's room I hardly know
I wake alone
and pretend that I am finally home

Her room is littered with her books
and notebooks
I imagine what they say
like, "Shoo Fly, don't bother me"

and I can hardly get myself out of her bed
for fear of never lying in this bed again
Oh christ -- I'm not that desperate --
oh no, oh god, i am

How'd I end up here to begin with?
I don't know
Why do I start what I can't finish?
Oh, please don't barage me with the questions
to all those lovely answers
My ego's like my stomach
it keeps shitting what I feed it

but maybe I don't want to finish anything anymore
maybe I can wait in bed till she comes home
and whispers, "You're in my web now
I've come to wrap you up tight till it's time to bite down"

I wake alone
in a woman's room I hardly know
I wake alone
and pretend that I am finally home
home

Artist: Pink Floyd

Song: Time

Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
You fritter and waste the hours in an off hand way
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way

Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain
You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun

And you run and you run to catch up with the sun, but it’s sinking
And racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in the relative way, but you’re older
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death

Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time
Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the english way
The time is gone, the song is over, thought I’d something more to say

Home, home again
I like to be here when I can
And when I come home cold and tired
It’s good to warm my bones beside the fire
Far away across the field
The tolling of the iron bell
Calls the faithful to their knees
To hear the softly spoken magic spells.

[Dorian]

Aw man, Pink Floyd is awesome. I love that song.


"And you run and you run to catch up with the sun, but it’s sinking
And racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in the relative way, but you’re older
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death"

greatest verse ever!

We could all learn something from this song.

Front Line Assembly - Internal Combustion

Move through the body
Move through the air
Move through the body
Like you just don't care

Internal combustion
Excessive fear
Finger on the trigger
The bastards are clear
Violent nation
Metal machine
Murders coherent
Volatile spleen

React to the violence
React to the fear
React to the censors
Changing gears
React to the noise
React to the greed

Internal combustion
Excessive fear
Finger on the trigger
The bastards are clear
Violent nation
Metal machine
Murders coherent
Volatile spleen

Corrupt
Corrupt is the nation
Corrupt
Corrupt is the law
Corrupt
Corrupt is the system
Corrupt
Corrupt are we all

Move through the body
Move through the air
Move through the body
Like you just don't care

Internal combustion
Excessive fear
Finger on the trigger
The bastards are clear
Violent nation
Metal machine
Murders coherent
Volatile spleen

I'm not allowed to drive and listen to this song at the same time.

Cemetery Gates

Reverend reverend is this some conspiracy?
Crucified for no sins
An image beneath me
Whats within our plans for life
It all seems so unreal
I'm a man cut in half in this world
Left in my misery...

The reverend he turned to me
Without a tear in his eyes
It's nothing new for him to see
I didn't ask him why
I will remember
The love our souls had
Sworn to make
Now I watch the falling rain
All my mind can see
Now is your (face)

Well I guess
You took my youth
I gave it all away
Like the birth of a
New-found joy
This love would end in rage
And when she died
I couldn't cry
The pride within my soul
You left me incomplete
Memories now unfold.

Believe the word
I will unlock my door
And pass the
Cemetery gates

Sometimes when I'm alone
I wonder aloud
If you're watching over me
Some place far abound
I must reverse my life
I can't live in the past
Then set my soul free
Belong to me at last

Through all those
Complex years
I thought I was alone
I didn't care to look around
And make this world my own
And when she died
I should've cried and spared myself some pain...
Left me incomplete
All alone as the memories still remain

The way we were
The chance to save my soul
And my concern is now in vain
Believe the word
I will unlock my door
And pass the cemetery gates

Cheap Trick - Surrender

Mother told me, yes, she told me I'd meet girls like you
She also told me, "Stay away, you'll never know what you'll catch"
Just the other day I heard a soldier falling off some Indonesian junk that's going round

Mommy's alright, Daddy's alright, they just seem a little weird
Surrender, surrender, but don't give yourself away

Father says, "Your mother's right, she's really up on things"
"Before we married, Mommy served in the WACS in the Philippines"
Now, I had heard the WACS recruited old maids for the war
But mommy isn't one of those, I've known her all these years

Mommy's alright, Daddy's alright, they just seem a little weird
Surrender, surrender, but don't give yourself away

Whatever happened to all this season's losers of the year?
Ev'ry time I got to thinking, where'd they disappear?
When I woke up, Mom and Dad are rolling on the couch
Rolling numbers, rock and rolling, got my Kiss records out

Mommy's alright, Daddy's alright, they just seem a little weird
Surrender, surrender, but don't give yourself away


I pwnz

Eric Clapton - Promises

I don't care if you never come home
I don't mind if you just keep on rowin' away on a distant sea
'Cause I don't love you and you don't love me

You cause a commotion when you come to town
You give 'em a smile and they melt
And your lovers and friends is all good and fine
But I don't like yours and you don't like mine

La la, la la la la
La la, la la la la

I don't care what you do at night
Oh, oh, I don't care how you get your delite
We'll leave it alone and just let it be
"Cause I don't love you and you don't love me

I got a problem ... can you relate?
I got a woman callin' love hate
We made a vow we'd always be friends
How could we know that promises end?

La la, la la la la
La la, la la la la

I tried to love for years upon years
You refuse to take me for real
It's time you saw what I want you to see
I'd still love you if you'd just love me

I got a problem ... can you relate?
I got a woman callin' love hate
We made a vow we'd always be friends
How could we know that promises end?

La la, la la la la
La la, la la la la
La la, la la la la
La la, la la la la

Gary Jules - Mad World

All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places, worn out faces
Bright and early for their daily races
Going nowhere, going nowhere
Their tears are filling up their glasses
No expression, no expression
Hide my head I want to drown my sorrow
No tomorrow, no tomorrow

And I find it kinda funny
I find it kinda sad
The dreams in which I'm dying
Are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you
I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It's a very, very mad world mad world

Children waiting for the day they feel good
Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday
Made to feel the way that every child should
Sit and listen, sit and listen
Went to school and I was very nervous
No one knew me, no one knew me
Hello teacher tell me what's my lesson
Look right through me, look right through me

And I find it kinda funny
I find it kinda sad
The dreams in which I'm dying
Are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you
I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It's a very, very mad world ... world
Enlarge your world
Mad world

O-Zone - Despre Tine

I don't want to type out the lyrics, they're in Romanian.

[Dorian]

Standing on a corner
Frozen to the bone
You have to make a living
But you'd rather be at home
Your eyes start getting heavy
Still you forge on
Wake up and face the world

AND GET A REAL JOB
GET A REAL JOB

You get a little older
Your bones are brittle and weak
Dizzy in the morning
Your pulse is sounding weak
You hate to go to work
Just living for a job
Wake up and smell the coffee
And get a real job

GET A REAL JOB
GET A REAL JOB
GET A REAL JOB
GET A REAL JOB

Soon you will retire
Or maybe have a stroke
You cannot feel your finger tips
Because some veins have closed
But still you drive a hack
Or push a hotdog cart
Now it's too late for you
To get a real job

This is for retehi

Band: Danzig

Song: Mother

Mother
Tell your children not to walk my way
Tell your children not to hear my words
What they mean
What they say
Mother

Mother
Can you keep them in the dark for life
Can you hide them from the waiting world
Oh mother

Father
Gonna take you daughter out tonight
Gonna show her my world
Oh father

Not about to see your light
But if you wanna find hell with me
I can show you what it’s like
Till you're bleeding

Not about to see your light
And if you wanna find hell with me
I can show you what it’s

Mother
Tell your children not to hold my hand
Tell your children not to undesrstand
Oh mother

Father
Do you wanna bang heads with me
Do you wanna feel everything
Oh father

Not about to see your light
And if you wanna find hell with me
I can show you what it’s like
Till you're bleeding

Not about to see your light
And if you wanna find hell with me
I can show you what it’s
Yeah

Not about to see your light
But if you wanna find hell with me
I can show you what it’s like
Till your bleeding

Not about to see your light
And if you wanna find hell with me
I can show you what it’s like
Mother
Yeah

(This reminds me: I nearly fucking died when I saw him in an Aqua Teen Hunger Force episode.

Danzig: "I can put a few gargoyles there, use it for sacrifices."

Carl: "What's your name, anyway?"

Danzig: "It's Danzig, motherfucker."

...

Danzig: "Where's that fucking robot? I'm running out of elven blood!"
Or something along those lines. It was hillarious :D )

I was just listening to The Bloodhound Gang, "You're Pretty When I'm Drunk." I love that one when I have been drinking vodka all night and have a 8:30am bio lab......

[Astrid]

Band: Blind Guardian

Song: Nightfall

No sign of life did flicker
In floods of tears she cried
"All hope's lost it can't be undone
They're wasted and gone"

"Save me your speeches
I know (They blinded us all)
What you want
You will take it away from me
Take it and I know for sure
The light she once brought in
Is gone forevermore"

Like sorrowful seaguls they sang
"(We're) lost in the deep shades
The misty cloud brought
(A wailing when beauty was gone
Come take a look at the sky)
Monstrous it covered the shore
Fearful into the unknown"
Quietly it crept in new horror
Insanity reigned
And spilled the first blood
When the old king was slain

[chorus:]
Nightfall
Quietly crept in and changed us all
Nightfall
Quietly crept in and changed us all
Nightfall
Immortal land lies down in agony

"How long shall we
Mourn in the dark
the bliss and the beauty
Will not return
Say farewell to sadness and grief
Though long and hard the road may be"
But even in silence I heard the words
"An oath we shall swear
By the name of the one
Until the world's end
It can't be broken"

Just wondering how
I can still hear these voices inside

The doom of the Noldor drew near

The words of a banished king
"I swear revenge"
Filled with anger aflamed our hearts
Full of hate full of pride
We screamed for revenge

[chorus]

"Vala he is that's what you said
Then your oath's been sworn in vain
(But) freely you came and
You freely shall depart
(So) never trust the northern winds
Never turn your back on friends"

"Oh I'm heir of the high lord!"
"You better don't trust him"
The enemy of mine
Isn't he of your kind and
Finally you may follow me
Farewell
He said

[chorus]

Back to where it all began

Drowning pool - Tear Away

i dont know what but something about this song..... i just love it

[Astrid]

Artist: Blind Guardian

Title: Time What is Time

When the moonchild is crying
And silence has broken
The darkest truth

The things she remembered
Had never been her own
Replicant or human
I know the way to show
What do I see
What will I find
Know the answer inside
It's your last step

Ref.:
Time what is time
I wish I knew how to tell You why
It hurts to know
Aren't we machines
Time what is time
Unlock the door
And see the truth
Then time is time again

Whispering
These dreams were never mine
It's cold inside
It's gone forever
The things he saw
Who can say what's wrong or right
The vision of a free life
His eyes had seen it all
For what
He's asking
The vision, vision, vision
I know it's all a lie
I'll remember his past life
And I'll remember time

What did I see
What have I done
God I knew the answers
When he felt so tired

Ref.:
Time what is time
Come lock the door don't let me in
I am the one Your destiny
Time what is time
Reality - It hurts me so
When time is time again

(Solo)

Look into my eyes
Feel the fear just for a while
I'm a replicant and I love to live
Is it all over now
Only these years
I'll leave but I'm singing

Ref.:
Time what is time
He saw it clearly it's too late
It does not heal but it lets us forget
Time what is time
We'll never know
So don't take care
Then time is time again

Should I forget
The way I feel
God he knows how long I tried
Feel there is no reason to cry
I live my life
In fortune dreams forever

If the lyrics are a bit awkwardly worded, it's because the band hails from Germany and English is not their native language. This particular song happens to strike a very poignant chord with me. I'm absolutely in love with it.

Dug out some old "LP"'s i have and listened to 10 CC's Sheet Music...man what a great and different album,here's one great song:

"It's one thing to know it but another to admit
We're the worst band in the world
But we don't give a....
If Garbo played guitar with Valentino on the drums
Then we'd be nothing more than a bunch of darma bums
So tune up, tune up
Well we've never done a days work in our life
And our records sell in zillions
It irrigates my heart with greed
To know that you adore me
Up yours, up mine
But up everybody's that takes time -
But we're working on it
Working on it (Ooh)
We never seen the van - leave it to the roadies -
Never met the roadies - leave them in the van
All because of circumstances way beyond control
We became the darlings of this thing called rock and roll, ooh
Here I am a record on a jukebox
A little piece of plastic with a hole, ooh
Play me
Buy me and you play me then my plastic turns to gold
Here we are together on your hi fi
A little piece of plastic with a hole, oh
Fade me, fade me, fade me, fade me..... "

Of course it actually fades there at the end.
