Just one song:

[SexuallyGifted]

If you had to pick just one song that just seemed to explain your entire life what would it be. I am not talking about a "relationship song" or a down in the dumps makes me feel better about myself song, This is your WHOLE life up to this point:

Sounds of silence

 

[Elizabeth]

Spent the vast majority of my adult life just like this song. Sorry, but it was as close as I could get.

Not Gon" Cry- Mary J Blige


While all the time that I was loving you
You were busy loving yourself
I would stop breathing if you told me to
Now you're busy loving someone else
Eleven years out of my life
Besides the kids I have nothing to show
Wasted my years a fool of a wife
I shoulda have left your ass a long time ago

(Chorus)
Well I'm not gon cry,
I'm not gon cry,
I'm not gon shed no tears
No, I'm not gon cry,
it's not the time
cuz you're not worth my tears
Well I'm not gon cry,
I'm not gon cry,
I'm not gon shed no tears
No, I'm not gon cry,
it's not the time,
cuz you're not worth my tears

(Vs.2)
I was your lover and your secretary
Working every day of the week
Was at the job when no one else was there
Helping you get on your feet
Eleven years of sacrifice
And you can leave at the drop of a dime
Swallowed my fears, stood by your side
I shoulda left your ass a thousand times

(Chorus)

I know there are no guarantees
In love you take your chances
But somehow it seems unfair to me
Look at the circumstances
Through sickness and health 'till death do us part
Those were the words that we said from our hearts
So now when you say that you're leaving me
I don't get that part

 

[T.H. Oughts]

I've always enjoyed the freedom of the sea. I'm a person who does not mind change if it brings adventure and I can learn from it.

I think it was a Little River Band song..... went something like this:

I was born in the sign of water
and it's there that I feel my best.
The albertross and the whale they are my brothers.
There is kind of a special feeling,
when you're out on the sea alone,
sailing on the clear blue ocean water.......

It's time for,
time for a cool change.....

 

[MunchinMark]

Slide Away by Oasis.

Slide Away
And give it all you got.
My today
Fell in from the top.
I dream of you
And all the things you say.
I wonder where you are now.
Hold me now,
All the world's asleep.
I need you now,
You knock me of my feet.
I dream of You
We talk of growing old,
But you said please don't.

Sliding Baby
Together We'll Fly
I've tried praying
But I don't know what you're saying to me.

Now that you're mine
I'll find a way
of chasing the sun.
Let me be the one,
That shines with you.
In the morning,
When we don't know what to do.
Two of a kind.
We'll find a way
To do what we done.
Let me be the one who
Shines with you and we can slide away.

 

[JaymesBlond007]

Bottom

My compassion is broken now.
My will is eroded, and
my desire stolen
and it makes me feel ugly.

I'm on my knees and burning.
My piss and moans are the fuel that
set my head on fire.
So smell my soul burning.

I'm broken... looking up to see the enemy.

I have swallowed the poison you feed me...
but I survive on it, and it leaves me
guilt fed, hatred fed, weakness fed.. and I feel ugly,
and dead inside.

Shit adds up at the bottom.

You've left me no choice but to go inside and rebuild what's broken.
Too much, too far, too late to lie down now.
I must arm myself to fight you by making weapons out of my imperfections.
It's all I have left.

There's no other choice.
I'm shameless, nameless, nothing, and no one now.
But my soul must be iron for my fear is naked.
I'm naked and fearless.
But I'm dead inside. You see.. shit adds up, now I'm dead inside. Hatred, weakness, and guilt keep me alive at the bottom.

Questions?

 

[xx_La_Reina_xx]

Hard to name just one....

Sitting here thinking about it, this is the song that keeps popping into my mind.....


The Animals


DON'T LET ME BE MISUNDERSTOOD

(Benjamin/Marcus/Caldwell)

Baby, do you understand me now
Sometimes I feel a little mad
Well don't you know that no-one alive
Can always be an angel
When things go wrong I seem to be bad

I'm just a soul who's intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood

Baby, sometimes I'm so carefree
With a joy that's hard to hide
And sometimes it seems that
All I have to do is worry
And then you're bound to see my other side

I'm just a soul who's intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood

If I seem edgy, I want you to know
That I never mean to take it out on you
Life has it's problems and I get my share
And that's one thing I never mean to do

'cause I love you
Oh, oh, oh, baby, don't you know I'm human
Have thoughts like any other one
Sometimes I find myself alone and regretting
Some foolish thing, some little simple thing I've done

I'm just a soul who's intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood

Yes, I'm just a soul who's intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood

Yes, I'm just a soul who's intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood

Yes, I'm just a soul who's intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood

Over The Rhine ---I Radio Heaven

i radio heaven
i get mixed signals
i move the antenna
i switch the channels
i lie in this bed
my satellite dish
is there room in the universe
for one last wish
(i say)

do you read me
over
you wanna come
over

i guess i never told you
'bout this life i'm livin'
it's heaven versus hell
in a split decision
this secret religion is
the best that i've found
i radio heaven
when no one's around
(i say)
do you need me
over
you wanna come
over

this song is grinning
go on and undress it
it's just the beginning
go on and possess it
you're no longer a child now
don't let them molest it
the wound is deep
i'm just trying to confess it

the truth is i bleed you
when these frequencies cut me
i'm a slut with a mission
a singular vision
i radio heaven
i get mixed signals
i move the antenna
i switch the channels

i radio heaven
i get mixed signals
i move the antenna
i switch the channels
i lie in this bed
my satellite dish
is there room in the universe
for one last wish

 

[Weevil]

Troubled Times by Fountains of Wayne

When you think you've found something worth holding onto
Wer reaching for attention, hoping she would notice you
Collecting bottles and thrown-away cans
Like she was returnable
One day would fill your hands
ow she loved you, all you imagined
Fit so well into you plans

Maybe one day soon
It will all come out
How you dream about each other sometimes
With the memory of
How you once gave up
But you made it through the troubled times

Pining away every hour in your room
Rolling with the motion, waiting til it's opportune
Sitting there watching time fly past you
Why do tomorrow
What you could never do
How she loved you
All you imagined
All ths shit she put you through

Maybe one day soon
It will all come out
How you dream about each other sometimes
With the memory of
How you once gave up
But you made it through the troubled times

And it takes a lot of nerve to ask how she is doing
Start with a weak foundation, you will end in ruins
The ways the days and hours pass you'll never understand
Falling like rain through your hands

Maybe one day soon
It will all come out
How you dream about each other sometimes
With the memory of
How you once gave up
But you made it through the troubled times

 

[MidnightAngel]

"I'm a Survivor" (Reba McIntire)

The baby girl without a chance
A victim of circumstance
The one who oughta give up
But she's just too hard headed
A single mom
Who works 2 jobs
Who loves her kids and never stops
With gentle hands
And the heart of a fighter
I'm a survivor

I don't believe in self pity
It only brings you down
May be the queen of broken hearts
But I don't hide behind the crown
When the deck is stacked against me
I just play a different game
My roots are planted in the past
And though my life is changing fast
Who I am is who I wanna be

 

[seXieleXie]

It's All Right It's Okay

Leah Andrioni

Broken doll baby
And she says that life's a waste
It doesn't have to be that way

Dad threw away her mom
Her mom gave up his name
Crucified by their words
Nailed by shame

She stares into the sun
Self-inflicted pain
She sees that they're blind
Why does she take all the blame

The rhyme has changed compulsion rules
Mary's little lambs are now raised by wolves
A voyeur with wings flashes a cure
She knows forbidden things they have a lovely lure

It's alright it's ok
Welcome to this life
Killin' time
Just watchin' the grass grow

It's alright it's ok
Welcome to this life
Don't worry sweet baby
Cuz it's over before you know

Persecuted she's not normal
I envy her strange ways
Seven deadly sins
Seize the hour seize the day

Her ideas need expression
Her wounds never bleed
Her beauty lives in my eyes
Too bad she can't see

She doesn't try I watch her spirits die
But giving up the ghost would feel so good
A voyeur with wings flashes a cure
She knows forbidden things they have a lovely lure

It's alright it's ok
Welcome to this life
Killin' time
Just watchin' the grass grow

It's alright it's ok
Welcome to this life
Don't worry sweet baby
Cuz it's over

Chorus 2x

Crumbling Camelot idle teardrops
Cloudy diamonds freebase funhouse
Expecting to fly but she's just standing still
Every time she gets it up she just can't close the deal

So she gives herself another way out
Walks her dog for the 50th time and
Files her nails till they bleed and she cries now
She doesn't have to try

It's alright, it's okay, it's alright.

 

[NeoMeiouSetsuna]

hmmm

the only song i can think is I'M ONLY HAPPY WHEN IT RAINS by garbage.


I'm only happy when it rains
I'm only happy when it's complicated
And though I know you can't appreciate it
I'm only happy when it rains
You know I love it when the news is bad
Why it feels so good to feel so sad
I'm only happy when it rains

Pour your misery down
Pour your misery down on me
Pour your misery down
Pour your misery down on me

I'm only happy when it rains
I feel good when things are going wrong
I only listen to the sad, sad songs
I'm only happy when it rains

I only smile in the dark
My only comfort is the night gone black
I didn't accidentally tell you that
I'm only happy when it rains
You'll get the message by the time I'm through
When I complain about me and you
I'm only happy when it rains

Pour your misery down...pour your misery down
Pour your misery down on me...pour your misery down
Pour your misery down...pour your misery down
Pour your misery down on me...pour your misery down
Pour your misery down...pour your misery down
Pour your misery down on me...pour your misery down
Pour your misery down...pour
You can keep me company
As long as you don't care

I'm only happy when it rains
You want to hear about my new obsession
I'm riding high upon a deep depression
I'm only happy when it rains...pour some misery down on me
I'm only happy when it rains....pour some misery down on me
I'm only happy when it rains...pour some misery down on me
I'm only happy when it rains...pour some misery down on me
I'm only happy when it rains...pour some misery down on me...pour some misery down on me...pour some misery down on me...pour some misery down on me

 

[Starblayde]

My Life... summed up....
Stereophonics - "Just Lookin'" (Jones/Jones/Cable)

There's things I want,
There's things I think I want,
There's things I've had,
There's things I wanna have
Do I want the dreams,
The one's we're forced to see

Do I want the Perfect wife
Word perfect ain't quite right
shopping every day
take it back the next break
They say the more you fly the more you
risk your life

I'm Just looking i'm not buying
i'm just looking keeps me smiling

a house i seen another coulda been
you drenched my head and said what i said
you said that life is what you make of it
yet most of us just fake

I'm Just looking i'm not buying
i'm just looking keeps me smiling

 

[Chaton]

Everclear~ Everything To Everyone

you put yourself in stupid places
yes i think you know it's true
situations where it's easy to look down on you
i think you like to be the victim
i think you like to be in pain
i think you make yourself a victim
almost every single day

you do what you do
you say what you say
you try to be everything to everyone
you know all the right people
you play all the right games
you always try to be
everything to everyone

yeah you do it again
you always do it again

you say they taught you how to read and write
they taught you how to count
i say they taught you how to buy and sell
your own body by the pound
i think you like to be their simple toy
i think you love to play the clown
i think you are blind to the fact
that the hand you hold
is the hand that holds you down

spin around and fall down
do it again
you stumble and you fall
yeah why won't you ever learn
spin around and fall down
do it again
you stumble and you fall
i wonder if you will ever learn
why won't you ever learn

come on now
do that stupid dance for me

you do what they tell you to do
you say what they say
you try to be
everything to everyone

you jump through the big hoop
you play all the right games
you try to be
everything to everyone

spin around and fall down
do it again
you stumble and fall
yeah you do it again
spin around and fall down
do it again
you stumble and you fall...

This is the story of my life

 

[Beethoven'sFire]

Invocation: Hear my Cry

Hear my cry
In my hungering search for you
Taste my breath on the wind
See the sky
As it mirrors my colours
Hints and whispers begin

I am living to nourish you, cherish you
I am pulsing the blood in your veins
Feel the magic and power of surrender
To life.

(Uisce Beatha.)

Every finger is touching and searching
Until your secrets come out
In the dance, as it endlessly circles
I linger close to your mouth

I am living to nourish you, cherish you
I am pulsing the blood in your veins
Feel the magic and power of surrender
To life.

(Uisce Beatha)

 

[Moridin187]

No song really describes the whole of my life.. but three come fairly close..

"The Sickness" - Disturbed

You feel that?
Ahhh shit...

Drowning deep in my sea of loathing
Broken, your servant I kneel
Will you give it to me?
It seems what's left of my human side
Is only changing in me

Looking at my own reflection
When suddenly it changes
Violently it changes
Oh no, there is no turning back now..
You've woken up the deeemooonnn
IIIIN MEEEE

Get up
Come on get down with the sickness
Get up
Come on get down with the sickness
Get up
Come on get down with the sickness
Open up your hate and let it flow into me

Get up
Come on get down with the sickness
You mother get up
Come on get down with the sickness
You fucker get up
Come on get down with the sickness
Madness is the gift that has been given to me!

Oh, I can see inside you
The sickness is rising
Don't try to deny what you feeeel
Will you give it to me?
It seems that all that was good has died
And is decayyyiiiing
Iiiin meeeee
It seems you're having some trouble
In dealing with these changes
Living with these changes

Oh no the world is a scary place
Now that you've woken up the deeeemooooon
IIIN MEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!


"Behind Blue Eyes" - The Who

No one knows what it's like
To be the bad man
To be the sad man
Behind blue eyes

No one knows what it's like
To be hated
To be fated
To telling only lies

But my dreeaammms
They are as empty
As my conscience seems to be
I have hooouuurrs
Only lonely
My love is vengeance
That's never free

No one knows what it's like
To feel these feelings
Like I do
And I blame you!
And no one bites back as hard on their anger
None of my pain and woe
Can show through!

(chorus)

When my fist clenches crack it open
Before I use it and lose my cool
If I smile tell me some bad news
Before I laugh and act like a fool
If I should swallow anything evil
Stick your finger down my throat
If I shiver please give me a blanket
Keep me warm but beware your coat

No one knows what it's like
To be the bad man
To be the sad man
Behind blue eyes...


Replace blue with brown, and you've got me in "Moridin Mode"...

"You Don't Know How it Feels" - Tom Petty

 

[Mellon Collie]

I don't know if this describes my life but it certainly describes how I feel more often than not. I also happen to love the song.

"My Little Needle"

By Alkaline Trio

I'll come down to get you high
Or maybe sing you a lullabye
Sing you to sleep - a sleep you'll never wake from
Sing you to coma so to speak

When I fall down I'll fall apart
Trade in my bike for a shopping cart
and beg change from a world that needs some
like I need someone
So where are you my little needle?
The stack's been burned away
But I'm so inebriated that I cannot see
three feet in front of me
Between the moon and you, lunacy is setting in

Lately I've been feeling dead inside
Like my guts have dried up and died
But every night I water them back to life
yeah every night I water them back to life

When I fall down I'll fall apart
Trade in my bike for a shopping cart
and beg change from a world that needs some
I'm tired of sleeping alone
So where are you my little needle?
The stack's been burned away
But I'm so inebriated that I cannot see
three feet in front of me
Between the moon and you, lunacy is setting in

 

[LadyDarkFire]

"A Place For My Head" -Linkin Park

I watch how the moon sits in the sky
On a dark night shining with the light from the sun
The sun doesn't give light to the moon
Assuming the moon's going to owe it one
It makes me think of how you act to me
You do favors and then rapidly
You just turn around and start asking me about
Things you want back from me

Pre chorus:
I'm sick of the tension, sick of the hunger
Sick of you acting like I owe you this
Find another place to feed your greed
While I find a place to rest

I want to be in another place
I hate when you say you don't understand
(You'll see it's not meant to be)
I want to be in the energy, not with the enemy
A place for my head
Maybe someday I'll be just like you, and
Step on people like you do and
Run away the people I thought I knew
I remember back then who you were
You used to be calm, used to be strong
Used to be generous, but you should've known
That you'd wear out your welcome
Now you see how quiet it is, all alone

Pre chorus (2x)
Chorus

You try to take the best of me
Go away (8x)

Chorus

Pre chorus (2x)

 

[GuyJD]

"AIN'T NO STOPPING US NOW"-McFadden & Whitehead

There've been so many things that's held us down.
But now it looks like things are finally coming around.
I know we've got a long, long way to go.
And when we'll get there, I don't know.
But we won't let nothing hold us back.
We're putting ourselves together.
We're polishing up our acts.
And if you've ever been held down before,
I know you refuse to be held down anymore.

Don't you let nothing, nothing...
Stand in your way.
I want ya'll to listen listen.
To every word I say, Every word I say.
AIN'T NO STOPPING US NOW
We're on the move.
AIN'T NO STOPPING US NOW
We got the groove.

****************************************************
The lyrics to this song pretty much says something similiar to what I've always said about life.
In order to truly accomplish what you want out of life.........
YOU GOTTA WANT IT BAD.

 

[Calamity Jane]

Jo Dee Messina
Burn (2000)
Bring On The Rain

(Duet with Tim McGraw)
(Billy Montana/Helen Darling)

Another day has almost come and gone
Can't imagine what else could wrong
Sometimes I'd like to hide away somewhere and lock the door
A single battle lost but not the war ('cause)

Tomorrow's another day
And I'm thirsty anyway
So bring on the rain

It's almost like the hard times circle 'round
A couple drops and they all start coming down
Yeah, I might feel defeated,
I might hang my head
I might be barely breathing - but I'm not dead

Tomorrow's another day
And I'm thirsty anyway
So bring on the rain

I'm not gonna let it get me down
I'm not gonna cry
And I'm not gonna lose any sleep tonight

 

[claude_moveml]

wasting time

A while ago in my life it would have been
Wasting Time by Kid Rock (see below), but
now I'm not so sure. Maybe something epic
by Devin Townsend http://www.hevydevy.com


***

I'm a pimp, you can check my stats
And rollin' a Fleetwood that's how I mack
I rock all the tracks, so the world knows
I love all the girls smack all the hoes
Show love to those who come real with it
Life's a bitch but I deal with it

I'm in it to win it like Yzerman
Can drink about 15 Heinekins
I'm not born again but if I was
I'd ask to come back with a little more love

Puffin' a Winston, drinkin' a four-oh
Kid Rock and I'm gonna let you know

I been sittin' here just wastin' time drinking, smoking, thinking, trying to free my mind
I been sittin' here just wastin' time drinking, smoking, trying to free my mind

It's been a couple of months in this smokey room
Eatin' shrooms, drinking Boone's
Writin' tunes and hoping to get
One of these motherfucking songs to hit
A little bit of love that's all I need
A little inspiration in a bag of weed
A seed to plant so my tree can grow
You know I left my girl cause I don't need that
H-o-o-old-up wait a minute I'm about to flow
Like a breeze through the trees you can watch me blow

Puffin' a Winston, drinkin' a four-oh
Kid Rock and I'm gonna let you know

I been sittin' here just wastin' time drinking, smoking, thinking, trying to free my mind
I been sittin' here just wastin' time drinking, smoking, trying to free my mind

Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Free my mind... Ooohhh yeah

I ain't no rough guy, ain't no tough guy
Don't get out much, and don't dress up fly
A pawn in the game that's all I am

Givin' all my duckets to Uncle Sam fuck it
I'm free to do what I please little lady
I was born at night but not last night baby
I've been around, seen some things

I've slept in dumpsters, got high with kings
I don't bring much, ain't got a lot to say
But I got more time then Morris Day

Puffin' a Winston, drinkin' a four-oh
Kid Rock and I'm gonna let you know

I been sittin' here just wastin' time drinking, smoking, thinking, trying to free my mind
I been sittin' here just wastin' time drinking, smoking, trying to free my mind
Smokin' and drinkin'
I been sittin'here just wastin' time drinking, smoking, thinking, trying to free my mind
Tryin' to free my mind
I been sittin' here just wastin' time drinking, smoking, trying to free my mind
Wastin' my time....hey I'm smokin'...hey I'm drinkin'...tryin' to free my mind
I been sittin' here just wastin' time...drinking, smoking, trying to free my mind

part of who I am

October Project

A Lonely Voice

I keep looking back
A lifetime back
Across the desert
In a desert where no one can explain
You tell me God is dancing in the rain

I can hear the echo
In a maze of words
A lonely voice behind a door
Can you hear me calling
From a world away
A lonely voice behind a door

I keep looking back
Traditions back
Across the centuries
In a century where no one can explain
You tell me God is dancing in the rain

I can hear the echo
In a maze of words
A lonely voice behind a door
Can you hear me calling
From a world away
A lonely voice behind a door

As I stare ahead
A dream ahead
Across the ocean
Cross an ocean where there's nothing to explain
You tell me God is laughing in the rain
