Song Lyrics That Are Important To You

Into The West

Why do you weep?
What are these tears upon your face?
Soon you will see
All of your fears will pass away
Safe in my arms
You're only sleeping...

-Annie Lennox
 
Damn near strangled by my appetite

Ybor City on a Friday night

Couldn't even stand up right 


So high the street girls wouldn't take my pay

They said come see me on a better day

She just danced away
 
I’m kinda down about it
I'm kinda sick about this feeling
Talkin brings it out
And I'm kinda short of feeling
I kinda got this feeling
That I'm losing everyone

So I'm rolling down the stairwells
Giving into stop sign language
Drinking brings it out
Kinda down about it
I've almost got this shotgun fired
Rip Torn and frayed back

Could this be all
Could it linger anymore
An endless fall I don't even know
Why I Should write it off
I'm the one who's being left out here

Or even better

Won't say I love you, babe
Won't say I need you, babe
I'm gonna get you babe
And I will not do you wrong

Living's mostly wasting time
I'll waste my share of mine
But it never feels too good
So let's don't take too long

Well you're soft as glass
And I'm a gentle man
We got the sky to talk about
And the world to lie upon

Days up and down they come
Like rain on a conga drum
Forget most, remember some
Don't turn none away

Everything is not enough
And nothin' is too much to bear
Where you've been is good and gone
All you keep's the getting there

Well to live is to fly, all low and high
So shake the dust off of your wings
And the sleep out of your eyes

It's goodbye to all my friends
It's time to go again
But think of all the poetry
And the pickin' down the line

Well I'll miss the system here
The bottom's low and the treble's clear
But it don't pay to think to much
On things you leave behind

Well I may be gone
But it won't be long
I will be a bringin' back the melodies
And rhythm that I find

We all got holes to fill
And them holes are all that's real
Some fall on you like a storm
Sometimes you dig your own

The choice is yours to make
And time is yours to take
Some dive into the sea
Some toil upon the stone

Well to live is to fly, all low and high
So shake the dust off of your wings
And the sleep out of your eyes
Shake the dust off of your wings
And the tears out of your eyes

To Lives To Fly - Townes Van Zandt

I loves Townes Van Zandt, he was a great lyrist. :heart:

You're My Best Friend ~ Queen

Ooh, you make me live
Whatever this world can give to me
It's you, you're all I see
Ooh, you make me live now honey
Ooh, you make me live

You're the best friend that I ever had
I've been with you such a long time
You're my sunshine
And I want you to know that my feelings are true
I really love you
You're my best friend

Ooh, you make me live
I've been wandering 'round
But I still came back to you
In rain or shine you've stood by me girl
I'm happy, happy at home
You're my best friend

Ooh, you make me live
Whenever this world is cruel to me
I got you to help me forgive
Ooh, you make me live now honey
Ooh, you make me live

You're the first one when things turn out bad
You know I'll never be lonely
You're my only one
And I love the things
I really love the things that you do
You're my best friend

Ooh, you make me live
I'm happy, happy at home
You're my best friend
You're my best friend
Ooh, you make me live
You, you're my best friend


The first song we danced to at wedding.

Faces - Stretch Arm Strong

https://youtu.be/fXKYLxy1yro

All these faces come and go.
Happy places we once knew
Have been lost and died.
I want to open my heart wide
You won't feel so all alone
But I'll try
I'll try to take you home
Watching the world pass us by
We keep on running, we keep on running
The air escapes me now
So where are they now?
Two years on and they're all gone
We keep on running, we keep on running
Where are they now?
Words seem to useless now
Have you forgotten how this made you feel?
All these faces come and go
Happy places we once knew
Have been lost and died.
What if I told you that we were better off this way?
And that the air was clearer because of the change.
The mood has shifted
The weight has lifted
No signs of decay
Now the truth is nearer
Because of the change.
Your words are dead and useless now
Have you forgotten how?
Let's just say we've run our course
No need to argue or question the source
Let's just say we've run our course
No need to argue or question the source
Growing old but not in age
You lost your fire
You lost your rage
Maybe you never had it at all
Words scribbled on a page
Seem so useless in this day and age
Nothing means nothing any more
All these faces come and go
Happy places we once knew
Have been lost and died
 
Fuckin Perfect - P!NK
Made a wrong turn, once or twice
Dug my way out, blood and fire
Bad decisions, that's alright
Welcome to my silly life
Mistreated, misplaced, misunderstood
Miss "No way, it's all good", it didn't slow me down
Mistaken, always second guessing, underestimated
Look, I'm still around
Pretty, pretty please, don't you ever ever feel
Like you're less than fuckin' perfect
Pretty pretty please, if you ever, ever feel like you're nothing
You're fuckin' perfect to me!
You're so mean, when you talk, about yourself you were wrong
Change the voices in your head, make them like you instead
So complicated, look how big, you'll make it
Filled with so much hatred, such a tired game
It's enough! I've done all I can think of
Chased down all my demons, I've seen you do the same
Oh, pretty, pretty please, don't you ever, ever feel
Like you're less than fuckin' perfect
Pretty, pretty please, if you ever, ever feel like you're nothing
You're fuckin' perfect to me
The whole world's scared, so I swallow the fear
The only thing I should be drinking is an ice cold beer
So cool and limed and we try, try, try
But we try too hard and its a waste of my time
Done looking for the critics 'cause there everywhere
They don't like my jeans, they don't get my hair
Exchange ourselves and we do it all the time
Why do we do that, why do I do that?
Why do I do that?
Oh, pretty, pretty please, don't you ever, ever feel
Like you're less than fuckin' perfect
Pretty, pretty please, if you ever, ever feel like you're nothing
You're fuckin' perfect to me!
You're perfect, you're perfect
Pretty, pretty please, if you ever, ever feel like you're nothing
You're fuckin' perfect to me

Love that one!
 
This has always been one of my favorite songs.

[Verse 1]
Moving forward using all my breath
Making love to you was never second best
I saw the world crashing all around your face
Never really knowing it was always
Mesh and lace

[Chorus]
I'll stop the world and melt with you
You've seen the difference
And it's getting better all the time
There's nothing you and I won't do
I'll stop the world and melt with you

[Verse 2]
(You should know better)
Dream of better lives
The kind which never hate
(You should see why)
Dropped in the state of imaginary grace

(You should know better)
I made a pilgrimage
To save this human race
(You should see why)
Never comprehending
The race was long, long lost
 
There are quite a few lyrics that hold great meaning for me, but probably none more than this:

"I'll Stand By You"

Oh, why you look so sad?
Tears are in your eyes
Come on and come to me now
Don't be ashamed to cry
Let me see you through
'cause I've seen the dark side too
When the night falls on you
You don't know what to do
Nothing you confess
Could make me love you less

I'll stand by you
I'll stand by you
Won't let nobody hurt you
I'll stand by you

So if you're mad, get mad
Don't hold it all inside
Come on and talk to me now
Hey, what you got to hide?
I get angry too
Well I'm a lot like you
When you're standing at the crossroads
And don't know which path to choose
Let me come along
'cause even if you're wrong

I'll stand by you
I'll stand by you
Won't let nobody hurt you
I'll stand by you
Take me in, into your darkest hour
And I'll never desert you
I'll stand by you

And when...
When the night falls on you, baby
You're feeling all alone
You won't be on your own

I'll stand by you
I'll stand by you
Won't let nobody hurt you

I'll stand by you
Take me in, into your darkest hour
And I'll never desert you
I'll stand by you
I'll stand by you
Won't let nobody hurt you
I'll stand by you
Won't let nobody hurt you
I'll stand by you
 
Most people won't understand, but hey. A friend zone lamentation.

等待 我随时随地在等待 做妳感情上的依赖
我没有任何的疑问 这是爱
我猜 妳早就想要说明白 我觉得自己好失败
从天堂掉落到深渊 多无奈
我愿意改变 (what can I do)
重新再来一遍 (just give me chance)
我无法只是普通朋友 感情已那么深 叫我怎么能放手

但妳说 I only wanna be your friend 做个朋友
我在妳心中只是 just a friend 不是情人
我感激妳对我这样的坦白 但我给妳的爱暂时收不回来
So I 我不能只是 be your friend I just can't be your friend
我猜 妳早就想要说明白 我觉得自己好失败
从天堂掉落到深渊 多无奈

Control - Halsey

They send me away to find them a fortune
A chest filled with diamonds and gold
The house was awake, the shadows and monsters
The hallways, they echoed and groaned

I sat alone, in bed till the morning
I'm crying, "They're coming for me"
And I tried to hold these secrets inside me
My mind's like a deadly disease

I'm bigger than my body
I'm colder than this home
I'm meaner than my demons
I'm bigger than these bones

And all the kids cried out, "Please stop, you're scaring me"
I can't help this awful energy
God damn right, you should be scared of me
Who is in control?

I paced around for hours on empty
I jumped at the slightest of sounds
And I couldn't stand the person inside me
I turned all the mirrors around

I'm bigger than my body
I'm colder than this home
I'm meaner than my demons
I'm bigger than these bones

And all the kids cried out, "Please stop, you're scaring me"
I can't help this awful energy
God damn right, you should be scared of me
Who is in control?

I'm well acquainted with villains that live in my head
They beg me to write them so they'll never die when I'm dead
And I've grown familiar with villains that live in my head
They beg me to write them so I'll never die when I'm dead

I'm bigger than my body
I'm colder than this home
I'm meaner than my demons
I'm bigger than these bones

And all the kids cried out, "Please stop, you're scaring me"
I can't help this awful energy
God damn right, you should be scared of me
Who is in control?

And all the kids cried out, "Please stop, you're scaring me"
I can't help this awful energy
God damn right, you should be scared of me
Who is in control?
