Song of the day!

Not certain if this has been done before, but I thought it would be an interesting idea.

Put up the lyrics of a song that appeals to your current mood. Please give proper credit to the artists for their work! If you can find a place to link to the song feel free as well. Then go ahead and link the post that fits your mood into your siggy. All are welcome, just an idea I had. I'll start.

Five finger Death Punch - Ashes


"Ashes"

[V1:]
You don't understand me,
and you probably never will
I got a tendency to self destruct,
and a soft spot for the filth
A hair trigger temperament,
a switchblade for a tongue
I'm a walking one-man genocide
with a black belt in corrupt

[Chorus:]
Everything I touch turns to ashes
Falls away, it falls away
Everything I touch turns to ashes
It slips right through my hands

Love me, hate me
Isolate me everyday that I'm alive
Straight up mentally unstable
You don't have to like my life

[V2:]
I'm a jinx, a curse, some say, "the worst"
I'm a savage, rabid beast
I've been called so many fucking things,
it doesn't affect me in the least
I've stolen, lied, been crucified but I don't regret a thing
I'm an egocentric masochist with a sadist's point of bleak

[Chorus:]
Everything I touch turns to ashes
Falls away, it falls away
Everything I touch turns to ashes
It slips right through my hands

Love me, hate me
Isolate me everyday that I'm alive
Straight up mentally unstable
You don't have to like my life

Everything I touch turns to ashes
Falls away, it falls away
Everything I touch turns to ashes
It slips right through my hands

U2 and Mary J...One Love.

Fantastic idea for a thread !..Thank you.

Despite being in a terrific mood, this song just makes me want to put the car to the max, turn up the player, and earn a speed ticket.

Is it getting better?
Or do you feel the same?
Will it make it easier on you now?
You got someone to blame
You say
One love
One life
When it's one need
In the night
One love
We get to share it
Leaves you baby if you
Don't care for it

Did I disappoint you?
Or leave a bad taste in your mouth?
You act like you never had love
And you want me to go without
Well it's

Too late
Tonight
To drag the past out into the light
We're one, but we're not the same
We get to
carry each other
carry each other
One

Have you come here for forgiveness?
Have you come to raise the dead?
Have you come here to play Jesus?
To the lepers in your head

Did I ask too much?
More than a lot.
You gave me nothing,
Now it's all I got
We're one
But we're not the same
See we
Hurt each other
Then we do it again
You say
Love is a temple
Love a higher law
Love is a temple
Love is a higher law
You ask me to enter
But then you make me crawl
And I can't keep holding on
To what you got
When all you've got is hurt

One love
One blood
One life
You got to do what you should
One life
With each other
Sisters and my
Brothers
One life
But we're not the same
We get to
Carry each other
Carry each other

One...
One...

extended version

Can You hear us coming Lord
Can You hear us call
Feel us knocking
We're knocking at Your door

Don't feel like writing out the lyrics, so here's a link

Dancing with the Devil ~ Breaking Benjamin

Breathe -Faith Hill

I can feel the magic floating in the air
Beign with you gets me that way
I watch the sunlight dance across your face
And i've never been this swept away
All my thoughts just seem to settle on the breeze
When I'm lying wrapped up in your arms
The whole world just fades away
The only thing I hear
Is the beating of your heart

CHORUS:
Cause I can feel you breathe
It's washing over me
And suddenly I'm melting into you
There's nothing left to prove
Baby, all we need is just to be
Caught up in the touch
Slow and steady rush
Baby, isn't that the way that love's suppose to be
I can feel you breathe

In a way I know my heart is waking up
As all the walls come tumbling down
Closer than I've ever felt before
And I know, and you know
There's no need for words right now

CHORUS:
Cause I can feel you breathe
It's washing over me
And suddenly I'm melting into you
There's nothing left to prove
Baby, all we need is just to be
Caught up in the touch
Slow and steady rush
Baby, isn't that the way that love's suppose to be
I can feel you breathe

I can feel the magic floating in the air
Being with you gets me that way...

Great start so far guys. Glad to see the idea was received well! keep on rollin!

Owl City..Fireflies............ I feel peaceful listening to it.

You would not believe your eyes
If ten million fireflies
Lit up the world as I fell asleep

'Cause they'd fill the open air
And leave teardrops everywhere
You'd think me rude
But I would just stand and stare

I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay
Awake when I'm asleep
'Cause everything is never as it seems

'Cause I'd get a thousand hugs
From ten thousand lightning bugs
As they tried to teach me how to dance

A foxtrot above my head
A sock hop beneath my bed
A disco ball is just hanging by a thread

I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay
Awake when I'm asleep
'Cause everything is never as it seems
When I fall asleep

Leave my door open just a crack
(Please take me away from here)
'Cause I feel like such an insomniac
(Please take me away from here)
Why do I tire of counting sheep
(Please take me away from here)
When I'm far too tired to fall asleep

To ten million fireflies
I'm weird 'cause I hate goodbyes
I got misty eyes as they said farewell

But I'll know where several are
If my dreams get real bizarre
'Cause I saved a few and I keep them in a jar

I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay
Awake when I'm asleep
'Cause everything is never as it seems
When I fall asleep

I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay
Awake when I'm asleep
'Cause everything is never as it seems
When I fall asleep

I'd like to make myself believe
That planet earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay
Awake when I'm asleep
Because my dreams are bursting at the seams

Bless the Broken Road-Rascal Flatts

I set out on a narrow way many years ago
Hoping I would find true love along the broken road
But I got lost a time or two
Wiped my brow and kept pushing through
I couldn't see how every sign pointed straight to you

[Chorus:]
Every long lost dream led me to where you are
Others who broke my heart they were like northern stars
Pointing me on my way into your loving arms
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you

I think about the years I spent just passing through
I'd like to have the time I lost and give it back to you
But you just smile and take my hand
You've been there you understand
It's all part of a grander plan that is coming true

[Chorus:]
Every long lost dream led me to where you are
Others who broke my heart they were like northern stars
Pointing me on my way into your loving arms
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you

Now I'm just rollin' home into my lover's arms
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road that led me straight to you

That's just gorgeous Baby'g..It's been a while since I heard it.

Link to song

and one more that I always listen too


Hero-Enrique

Hero

Would you dance
if I asked you to dance?
Would you run
and never look back?
Would you cry
if you saw me cry?
And would you save my soul, tonight?

Would you tremble
if I touched your lips?
Would you laugh?
Oh please tell me this.
Now would you die
for the one you loved?
Hold me in your arms, tonight.

I can be your hero, baby.
I can kiss away the pain.
I will stand by you forever.
You can take my breath away.

Would you swear
that you'll always be mine?
Or would you lie?
would you run and hide?
Am I in too deep?
Have I lost my mind?
I don't care...
You're here tonight.

I can be your hero, baby.
I can kiss away the pain.
I will stand by you forever.
You can take my breath away.

Oh, I just want to hold you.
I just want to hold you.
Am I in too deep?
Have I lost my mind?
I don't care...
You're here tonight.

I can be your hero, baby.
I can kiss away the pain.
I will stand by your forever.
You can take my breath away.

I can be your hero.
I can kiss away the pain.
And I will stand by you forever.
You can take my breath away.
You can take my breath away.

I can be your hero.

Falling behind in my own thread! Oh noes!

In flames - Metaphor


Metaphor

[Verse:]

You stole my pure intention
You are the sickness in between
Let me in, I'll bury the pain

You taught me to be sad at you
You almost made me take it all
Let me in, I'll bury the pain

You bend me and you shake me
You beg me then you break me
Let me in, I'll bury the pain

You made me feel like a sinner
Now you fear you'll die alone
Let me in, I'll bury the pain

[Chorus:]

The sickness that you are
The plague that made me starve
You think you can show me how I've come this far

I feel it's taking over
Everything falls dark
Break me open
The desperate cry

No Lyrics for this one. This is an instrumental, and it just happens to express to me, the natural state of my own soul. It's both beautiful, and slightly dark. It also leaves me feeling like there is hope and a reason to keep putting one step in front of the other. Whenever I need to come back and find my center, this song brings me home.

Arch Enemy - Marching on a Dead End Road

Halo -Beyonce

Remember those walls I built
Well, baby they're tumbling down
And they didn't even put up a fight
They didn't even make up a sound

I found a way to let you in
But I never really had a doubt
Standing in the light of your halo
I got my angel now

It's like I've been awakened
Every rule I had you breakin'
It's the risk that I'm takin'
I ain't never gonna shut you out

Everywhere I'm looking now
I'm surrounded by your embrace
Baby I can see your halo
You know you're my saving grace

You're everything I need and more
It's written all over your face
Baby I can feel your halo
Pray it won't fade away

I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo
I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo

Hit me like a ray of sun
Burning through my darkest night
You're the only one that I want
Think I'm addicted to your light

I swore I'd never fall again
But this don't even feel like falling
Gravity can't forget
To pull me back to the ground again

Feels like I've been awakened
Every rule I had you breakin'
The risk that I'm takin'
I'm never gonna shut you out

Everywhere I'm looking now
I'm surrounded by your embrace
Baby I can see your halo
You know you're my saving grace

You're everything I need and more
It's written all over your face
Baby I can feel your halo
Pray it won't fade away

I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo
I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo

I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo
I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo
Halo, halo

Everywhere I'm looking now
I'm surrounded by your embrace
Baby I can see your halo
You know you're my saving grace

You're everything I need and more
It's written all over your face
Baby I can feel your halo
Pray it won't fade away

I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo
I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo

I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo
I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo

The person this is for will know who they are....

I'd Come For You- Nickleback

Just one more moment, thats all thats needed.
Like wounded soldiers, in need of healing.
Time to be honest, this time I'm pleading.
Please dont dwell on it, cause I didn't mean it.

I cant believe I said I'd lay our love on the ground.
But it doesn't matter cause I've made it up, forgive me now.
Everyday I spend away, my soul's inside out.
Gotta be someway that I can make it up to you now, somehow.

By now you know that I'd come for you,
Noone but you.
Yes I'd come for you,
but only if you told me to.
And I'd fight for you,
I'd lie, it's true.
Give my life for you,
You know I'll always come for you.

I was blindfolded, but now I'm seeing.
My mind was closing, now I'm believing.
I finally know just what it means to let someone in,
To see the side of me that noone does or ever will.
So if your ever lost and find yourself all alone
I'd search forever just to bring you home,
Here and now, this I vow

By now you know that I'd come for you,
Noone but you, yes I'd come for you,
But only if you told me to.
And I'd fight for you,
I'd lie, it's true.
Give my life for you
You know I'll always come for you.
You know I'll always come for you.

No matter what gets in my way,
As long as there's still life in me,
No matter what, remember you know I'll always come for you.

Yes I'd come for you, noone but you,
Yes I'd come for you,
But only if you told me to.

And I'd fight for you,
I'd lie, it's true.
Give my life for you,
You know I'll always come for you.

No matter what gets in my way,
As long as there's still life in me,
No matter what, remember you know I'll always come for you.
I'd crawl across this world for you,
Do anything you want me to,
No matter what, remember you know I'll always come for you.
You know I'll always come for you,
You know I'll always come for you

Great idea J!
My little honour Valentines Day thing, I know it's pretty unusual of me but meh! This is dedicated to the one I was Hanging by a Moment with and he knows who he is. Click the title for the song!

No Body Knows - Tony Rich

I pretend that I'm glad you went away
But these four walls close in more everyday
And I'm dying inside
And nobody knows it but me

Like a clown I put on a show
The pain is real even if nobody knows
And I'm crying inside
And nobody knows it but me

Why didn't I say the things I needed to say
How could I let my angel get away
Now my world is a-tumblin' down
I can say it clearly but you're no where around

The nights are so lonely the days are so sad
And I just keep thinking about the love that we had
And I'm missing you
And nobody knows it but me

How blue can I get you could ask my heart
Just like a jigsaw puzzle it's been torn all apart
A million words just couldn't say just how I feel
A million years from now you know I'll be loving you still

The nights are so lonely the days are so sad
And I just keep thinking about the love that we had
And I'm missing you
And nobody knows it but me

The nights are so lonely
The days are so sad
I just keep thinking
About the love that we had
Nobody knows it but me

Leave the Pieces - The Wreckers

You're not sure that you love me
But you're not sure enough to let me go
Baby it ain't fair you know
To just keep me hangin' 'round

You say you don't wanna hurt me
Don't want to see my tears
So why are you still standing here
Just watching me drown

[Chorus]
And it's alright, yeah I'll be fine
Don't worry 'bout this heart of mine
Just take your love and hit the road
There's nothing you can do or say
You're gonna break my heart anyway
So just leave the pieces when you go

You can drag out the heartache
Baby you can make it quick
Really get it over with
And just let me move on

Don't concern yourself
With this mess you've left for me
I can clean it up, you see
Just as long as you're gone

[Chorus]

You not making up your mind
Is killing me and wasting time
I need so much more than that
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Chorus]

Leave the pieces when you go
Oh, yeah
Leave the pieces when you go
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Leave the pieces when you go

Slipknot - Snuff

"Snuff"

Bury all your secrets in my skin
Come away with innocence, and leave me with my sins
The air around me still feels like a cage
And love is just a camouflage for what resembles rage again...

So if you love me, let me go. And run away before I know.
My heart is just too dark to care. I can't destroy what isn't there.
Deliver me into my Fate - If I'm alone I cannot hate
I don't deserve to have you...
My smile was taken long ago / If I can change I hope I never know

I still press your letters to my lips
And cherish them in parts of me that savor every kiss
I couldn't face a life without your light
But all of that was ripped apart... when you refused to fight

So save your breath, I will not hear. I think I made it very clear.
You couldn't hate enough to love. Is that supposed to be enough?
I only wish you weren't my friend. Then I could hurt you in the end.
I never claimed to be a Saint...
My own was banished long ago / It took the Death of Hope to let you go

So Break Yourself Against My Stones
And Spit Your Pity In My Soul
You Never Needed Any Help
You Sold Me Out To Save Yourself
And I Won't Listen To Your Shame
You Ran Away - You're All The Same
Angels Lie To Keep Control...
My Love Was Punished Long Ago
If You Still Care, Don't Ever Let Me Know
If you still care, don't ever let me know...

Mouth - Merril Bainbridge

I FEEL LIKE I'VE BEEN BLOWN APART
THERE ARE PIECES HERE,
I DON'T KNOW WHERE THEY GO,
I DON'T KNOW WHERE THEY GO,
KISS ME ON MY SALTY LIPS,
I BET YOU FEEL A LITTLE CRAZY BUT FOR ME
WE'LL BE FAMOUS ON T.V

( CHORUS: )

WOULD IT BE MY FAULT IF I COULD TURN YOU ON?
WOULD I BE SO BAD IF I COULD TURN YOU ON?
WHEN I KISS YOUR MOUTH I WANT TO TASTE IT
TURN YOU UPSIDE DOWN, DON'T WANNA' WASTE IT

I JUMP ON YOU, YOU JUMP ON ME
YOU PUSH ME OUT
AND EVEN THOUGH YOU KNOW I LOVE YOU
I'D BE INCLINED TO SLAP YOU IN THE MOUTH
WHEN I KISS YOUR SALTY LIPS,
YOU WILL FEEL A LITTLE CRAZY,
BUT FOR ME, I'LL BE FAMOUS ON T.V

( CHORUS )
( CHORUS )

NOW, WILL IF BE MY FAULT IF I
TAKE YOUR LOVE AND THROW IT WIDE?
YOU MIGHT RESTRAIN ME,
BUT COULD YOU REALLY BLAME ME?
AND YOU WILL FEEL YOU'RE BLOWN APART
ALL THE PIECES THERE WILL FIT TO MAKE YOU WHOLE
AND I KNOW WHERE THEY GO

( CHORUS ) ... to the end...

Everytime I Hear Your Name - Keith Anderson

Finally got over that song of ours; stopped chasin' little red sports cars,
To check the license plates and I quit drivin' by your place.
Back makin' the rounds at our old haunts: Honky Tonks, restaurants.
And seein' some of our old friends: it feels good to dance again.
And I can finally smell your perfume and not look around the room for you.
And I can walk right by your picture in a frame and not feel a thing.

But when I hear your name,
I feel rain fallin' right out of the blue sky.
And it's the fifth of May, and I'm right there starin' in your eyes.
And nothin's changed, and we're still same.
And I get lost in the innocence of a first kiss,
And I'm hangin' on to every word rollin' off of your lips:
And that's all it takes, and I'm in that place,
Every time I hear your name.

Got someone special in my life; everyone thinks she'll make a great wife.
Dad says he thinks she's the one; reminds him of Mom when she was young.
But it's way too soon to be talkin' 'bout rings; don't wanna rush into anything.
She's getting over someone too, kinda like me and you.
And she talks about him every once in a while, and I just nod my head and smile,
'cause I know exactly what she's goin' through; yeah, I've been there too.

And when the conversation turns to you,
I get caught in a "you were the only one for me",
Kinda thought, and your face is all that I see.
I know I can't go back but I still go back.
And there we are, parked down by the riverside,
And I'm in your arms about to make love for the first time,
And that's all it takes, and I'm in that place,
Every time I hear your name.

I stop thinkin' 'bout the words I left unsaid.
(Every time I hear your name.)
I stop tryin' the change the things I can't change.
(Every time I hear your name.)
In my heart I know you're gone, but in my head,

I feel rain fallin' right out of the blue sky.
And it's the fifth of May, and I'm right there starin' in your eyes.
That's all it takes, and I'm in that place.
And there we are, parked down by the riverside,
And I'm in your arms about to make love for the first time.
And I can't explain, but I'm in that place,
Every time I hear your name.

Every time I hear your name.
(Every time I hear your name.)
Ooh, ooooooooh, ooh, ooooooooh.
(Every time I hear your name.)
Aaaaah aaaaaaah.
Every time I hear your name.

You Make it Real...James Morrison.


Mmmm
there's so much craziness surrounding me
there's so much going on it gets hard to breathe
all my faith has gone you bring it back to me
you make it real for me
well im not sure of my priorities
ive lost site of where im ment to be
and like holy water washing over me

you make it real for me
and IIIIIIIII'm running to you baby
youuu are the only one who save me
that's whyyy ive been missing you lately
cause you make it real for me

when my head is strong but my heart is weak
im full of hurricanes and uncertainty
but I can find the words
you teach my heart to speak

you make it real for meee yeaaa
and iiiiiiiiii'm running to you baby
you are the only one who save me
that's whyyy ive been missing you lately
cause you make it real for me

everybodies talking in words
I don't understand
you got to be the only one
who knows just who I am
and you shine in the distance
I hope I can make it through
cause the only place
that I want to be
is right back home with you

I guess theres so much more
I have to learn
But if you're here with me
I know which way to turn
You always give me somewhere,
somewhere I can learn

You make it real for me
And iiiii'm running to you baby
Cause you are the only one who save me
That's why ive been missing you lately
Cause you make it real for me
you make it real for me

I've spent more than one Valentines Day and many more days than that repeating this to myself over and again. This song helped me realize I wasn't the only one thinking these things and asking these questions. An oldie but a goodie as they say!

last song for the day.......
