Another Social D song. (one of my all time favorite bands if you haven't guessed by now.)

"Faithless"

I know a girl who warns of the dangers of love
All the pain and the anguish, the sorrow that it brings
She keeps herself in a world that’s protected
Her outsides are tough
But inside her heart longs to sing

Chorus:
Don’t let your walls down
You might fall in love, you might fall in love

He’s gonna get his girlfriend’s name tattooed on his neck
And hope he never, never lives to regret
He’s gonna walk down that long dark alley
And what he finds there you know he’ll never forget

Chorus:
Don’t let your walls down
You might fall in love, you might fall in love
They’re crashing down now, you might fall in love

I remember a time I believed
That the words love and pain were both one in the same
I’m gonna trade in my old ways for a new shot at life
I’m gonna change, change my direction
I’m gonna change my ways

Chorus:
Don’t let your walls down
You might fall in love, you might fall in love
They’re crashing down now
It’s you I’m thinking of, it’s you I’m thinking of
You might fall in love; it’s you I’m thinking of
We might fall in love
Let’s fall in love

Ticks and Leeches

Suck and suck.
Suckin up all you can, suckin up all you can suck.
Workin up under my patience like a little tick.
Fat little parasite.

Suck me dry.
My blood is bruised and borrowed. You thieving bastards.
You have turned my blood cold and bitter,
beat my compassion black and blue.

Hope this is what you wanted.
Hope this is what you had in mind.
Cuz this is what you're getting.
I hope you're choking. I hope you choke on this.

Taken all I can, taken all I can, we(?) can take.
Taken all you can, taken all you can ****in' take
Got nothing left to give to you.
Blood suckin parasitic little tick/blood suckin parasitic little tick
Take what you want and then go.

Hope this is what you wanted.
Hope this is what you had in mind.
Cuz this is what you're getting.

Suck me dry.
Is this what you wanted?
Is this what you had in mind?
Cuz this this is what you're getting.
I hope you choke.

Good god, wtf?

[thirty-two]

So small and yet still so proud
At night before he dreams he looks into the clouds
A high-flyer is what I want to be
Seems they won't let me
Says I'm too small
I don’t feel small at all

Break my dreams
That’s what they’ll do
Well I’m gonna run away
And learn to fly like you
I'm gonna go so high
And swoop so low
You can't bring me down
I'm gonna be so proud!

Little angel, you've got to learn to fly
Get up and earn your wings tonight
Little angel, just look in my eyes
Get up and earn your wings tonight

Push and shove, then climb aboard
This is a shuttle train to the top of the world
When you look around what do you see?
These are all high-fliers
None of these high-fliers look like me

What is that supposed to mean?
What am I supposed to be?

I pull my way up through this crowd
To find your body crushed on the ground
It's so obvious, why couldn’t you see?
That you can't go high-flying
Without a pair of high-flier wings

Little ones broken lying on the ground
Trying to get up, till his last breath out
Wings are strewn everywhere
There's blood all around
Cos even angels die, their light just fades
It's so sad, but he’d be so proud

Broken angel, you've got to learn to fly
Get up and earn your wings tonight
Broken angel, just look in my eyes
Get up and earn your wings tonight
Get up and earn your wings
Earn your wings tonight

"Broken Angel"

all my songs are hanson songs... yay!

On the subject of lyrics, can anyone decipher this song by Authority Zero. One of my favorites.

Over Seasons

Over seasons, like so many times before
You drop drop drop it 'til you break down the walls
Over seasons, when you come disobey
Just keep on droppin' 'til the break of the day
Over seasons, like so many times before
You drop drop drop it till you break down the walls
Over seasons, when you come not obey
Just keep drop drop drop drop:

Back in 1994 there was no reason that we had wanted to play
But a vision of expression
An ability to reason with the worries in our lives
An ability we'd recognized
How many times, would composition turn into confession?
Building a foundation for our youth to grow into progression
Making our days, free-will reside, we say!

Now you know things ain't right
And the pressure that you're granted from this life
And forever you had wondered what's in store
'Til you stand up and not take it anymore!
Doubted about the things you do
And defiant of your scattered mental institute
No second guessing when it's already past
Denying that it wouldn't last
Here's to the days, here's to the nights
Throughout the years, how many fights? Here's to the daze that paved the way! We say!

Now you know things ain't right
And the pressure that you're granted from this life
And forever you had wondered what's in store
That's when you stand up and not take it anymore!
Like we'd done before!
The seize of day, turned on into night!
And open wide!

Good god, wtf?

Angry song about the record companies/People in general.

Assface, broken link

Possibly my favorite song ever...

03
H.

What's coming through is alive.
What's holding up is a mirror.
But what's singing songs is a snake
Looking to turn this piss to wine.

They're both totally void of hate,
But killing me just the same.

The snake behind me hisses
What my damage could have been.
My blood before me begs me
Open up my heart again.

And I feel this coming over like a storm again.
Considerately.

Venomous voice, tempts me,
Drains me, bleeds me,
Leaves me cracked and empty.
Drags me down like some sweet gravity.

The snake behind me hisses
What my damage could have been.
My blood before me begs me
Open up my heart again.

And I feel this coming over like a storm again.

I am too connected to you to
Slip away, to fade away.
Days away I still feel you
Touching me, changing me,
And considerately killing me.

Without the skin,
Beneath the storm,
Under these tears
The walls came down.

And the snake is drowned and
As I look in his eyes,
My fear begins to fade
Recalling all of those times.

I could have cried then.
I should have cried then.

And as the walls come down and
As I look in your eyes
My fear begins to fade
Recalling all of the times
I have died
and will die.
It's all right.
I don't mind.

I am too connected to you to
Slip away, to fade away.
Days away I still feel you
Touching me, changing me,

And considerately killing me.

One of my newest fave Hanson songs. (im bored if you cant tell)

Even though I hurt you all the time
You're on my mind, I won't deny
Everything I did I take it back
I'll make it right, at least I'll try
Now there's only one thing on my mind
It's taken me some time, girl
I'm ready now to lay it on the line
I hope you want to try again
I know I will

Don't give up when you're so close
Don't give up when you're almost there
Don't give up when you're so close
I almost care
I almost care

I admit I don't know why you stayed
I tried so hard to push you away
I'm saying all the words you used to say
It's turned around; you turned away


Now there's only one thing on my mind
It's taken me some time, girl
I'm ready now to lay it on the line
I hope you want to try still
You know I will

Don't give up when you're so close
Don't give up when you're almost there
Don't give up when you're so close
I almost care
I almost care
I almost care

Don't give up when you almost care
Now there's only one thing on my mind
I hope you want to try still
You know I will

Don't give up when you're so close
Don't give up when you're almost there
Don't give up when you're so close
I almost care


Don't give up when you're so close
Don't give up when you're almost there
Don't give up when you're so close
I almost care


Don't give up when you're so close
Don't give up when you're almost there
Don't give up when you're so close
I almost care

- hanson "i almost care"

Repetitive, no?

 

[thirty-two]

Repetitive, no?

that song, yes. but it's fitting.

 

[thirty-two]

last one for tonight.... yaaaaay

Well I can't take this any longer
Well I can't take this anymore
Well I'm not getting any stronger
I don't know how to feel this any more

Well you can tell me what you want
After all that you've done for me
We can make it all undone
But can't you see
That I don't know what to think
And you can't tell if I'm dreaming
I wish that I could just let this go
But I'm thinking
That I don't know what I'm feeling
We just need space for breathing
I wish that I could just let this go
But I'm thinking that I don't know

I've had to search a thousand times before
I'm up against a wall I can't ignore
I wish you didn't feel so good to hold
Cos then it wouldn't be so hard to know

Well you can tell me what you want
After all that you've done for me
We can make it all undone
But can't you see
That I don't know what to think
And you can't tell if I'm dreaming
I wish that I could just let this go
But I'm thinking
That I don't know what I'm feeling
We just need space for breathing
I wish that I could just let this go
But I'm thinking that I don't know

I wish I could tell you
That everything is going to be all right
I just want to love you
So maybe I can let this go

Well you can tell me what you want
After all that you mean to me
We can make it all undone
But can't you see
That I don't know what to think
And you can't tell if I'm dreaming
I wish that I could just let this go
But I'm thinking
That I don't know what I'm feeling
We just need space for breathing
I wish that I could just let this go
But I'm thinking that I don't know

[Assface]

I love Alkaline Trio's lyrics. They're such nice sounding songs but they have some gnarly imagery.

"Mr. Chainsaw"

When was it that you lost your youth or traded
It for something more for them to use so jaded
Why is it that you never said
I love you more than just a friend
I pray this gridlock never ends
And when we get there just depends
I found out recently that you are leaving
For good I hope I softly tell my ceiling
It's better now to be alive
Sleeping is my 9 to 5
I'm having nightmares all the time
Of running out of words that rhyme
Everything that you could never say
Would never matter anyway
I took a hammer and two nails to my eardrums long ago
Before that steak knife took my eyes
I looked up to the sky
For the last thing I would ever see
For the last time I'd cry
When was it that you sold your life or wasted
Every bite of that small slice you never tasted
I guess I should be one to talk
There's nights that I can't even walk
There's days I couldn't give a
And in between is where I'm stuck
From blocks away I heard somebody screaming
That small child inside of you that you left bleeding
You stabbed him up not once but twice
Cubicles will now suffice
Some say it's the roll of the dice
I think they're wrong I know I'm right
Every breath that I could barely breathe
Could barely make it past my teeth
I took a blowtorch to both of my lungs a long long time ago
Every step that i could take
Every one more difficult to make
Mr. Chainsaw came and took my legs a long, long time ago
In case you're wondering
I'm singing about growing up about giving in
In case you're wondering we're singing about growing up
About giving up and giving in

who's that?

This part
"And the snake is drowned and
As I look in his eyes,
My fear begins to fade
Recalling all of those times.

I could have cried then.
I should have cried then.

And as the walls come down and
As I look in your eyes
My fear begins to fade
Recalling all of the times
I have died
and will die.
It's all right.
I don't mind"

Is possibly the most beautiful part in any music piece.

Blink 182 can write some good lyrics when they want too. I'm a big fan of the poop and sex jokes but I like their songs like the following.

"Always"

I've been here before a few times
And I'm quite aware we're dying
And your hands they shake with goodbyes
And I'll take you back if you'd have me
So here I am I'm trying
So here I am are you ready

Come on let me hold you touch you feel you
Always
Kiss you taste you all night
Always

And I'll miss your laugh your smile
I'll admit I'm wrong if you'd tell me
I'm so sick of fights I hate them
Lets start this again for real

So here I am I'm trying
So here I am are you ready
So here I am I'm trying
So here I am are you ready

Come on let me hold you touch you feel you
Always
Kiss you taste you all night
Always
(Come on let me hold you) Touch you feel you
Always
Kiss you taste you all night
Always

I've been here before a few times
And I'm quite aware we're dying

Come on let me hold you touch you feel you
Always
Kiss you taste you all night
Always
(Come on let me hold you) Touch you feel you
Always
Kiss you taste you all night
Always

Always..

Always..

I'm still not fully back yet (will be ordering a new computer tomorrow and should have it by the start of next week) and I'm really "out of the loop"..... I'm currently at the nearby school library and figured I'll post one of my favorite all-time Who lyrics (can somewhat be considered one of my theme songs)...

"The Seeker"
-The Who-

I've looked under chairs
I've looked under tables
I've tried to find the key
To fifty million fables

chorus:
They call me The Seeker
I've been searching low and high
I won't get to get what I'm after
Till the day I die

I asked Bobby Dylan
I asked The Beatles
I asked Timothy Leary
But he couldn't help me either

chorus

People tend to hate me
'Cause I never smile
As I ransack their homes
They want to shake my hand

Focusing on nowhere
Investigating miles
I'm a seeker
I'm a really desperate man

I won't get to get what I'm after
Till the day I die

I learned how to raise my voice in anger
Yeah, but look at my face, ain't this a smile?
I'm happy when life's good
And when it's bad I cry
I've got values but I don't know how or why

I'm looking for me
You're looking for you
We're looking in at other
And we don't know what to do

chorus

Lostprophets- Shinobi vs Dragon Ninja

Got it all too high
Got it figured out,
I wanna do whatever
Laugh until september
And I seem to think that you were once here with me
Maybe I was wrong
U were moving on
And I sit and wonder
Falling under
Get my way or nothing will move on
Everyone has gone
You feel so empty, but I've got me a friend
And I like it
And I know u say I can't care for someone
But are you that clever that you smile forever?
Is it summer yet...
Coz I just don't feel it
Baby its a treaty
Maybe you are not her
And I sit and wonder, falling under
Get my way or nothing will move on
Everyone has gone.
You feel so empty, but I've got me a friend
And I like it, ooooooh!
Say now, got it for all of me
How do I?

 

[HeavyB3]

This is truely a wierd song. The guy from The Mars Volta in rock mode
At the Drive In - One Armed Scissor

yes this is the campaign
slithered entrails
in the cargo bay
neutered is the vastness
hallow vacuum check the
oxygen tanks
they hibernate
but have they kissed the ground
pucker up and kiss the asphalt now
tease this amputation
splintered larynx
it has access now

send transmission from
the one armed scissor
cut away, cut away

banked on memory
mummified circuitry
skin graft machinery
sputnik sickles found in the seats

self-destruct sequence
this station is non-operational
species growing
bubbles in an IV loitering

unknown origin
is this the comfort of being afraid
solar eclipsed
black out the vultures
as they wait

dissect a trillion sighs away
will you get this letter
jagged pulp sliced in my veins
i write to remember
'cause i'm a million miles away
will you get this letter
jagged pulp sliced in my veins
i write to remember...

Loser- Three Doors Down

Breathe in right away, nothing seems
to fill this place
I need this every time, take your
lies get off my case
Some day I will find, a love that flows
Through me like this
This will fall away, this will fall away

You’re getting closer, to pushing me
Off of life’s little edge
Cause I’m a loser and sooner or later
You know I’ll be dead
You’re getting closer, you’re holding the
Rope and I'm taking the fall
Cause I’m a loser, I’m a loser, yeah

This is getting old, I can’t break these
Chains that I hold
My body’s growing cold, there’s nothin
Left of this mind or my soul
Addiction needs a pacifier, the buzz of
This poison is taking me higher
This will fall away, this will fall away


You’re getting closer, to pushing me
Off of life’s little edge
Cause I’m a loser and sooner or later
You know I’ll be dead
You’re getting closer, you’re holding
the rope and I’m taking the fall
Cause I’m a loser, I'm a loser!

You’re getting closer, to pushing me
Off of life’s little edge
Cause I’m a loser and sooner or later
You know I’ll be dead
You’re getting closer, you’re holding
the rope and I’m taking the fall
Cause I’m a loser!

You’re getting closer, to pushing me
Off of life’s little edge
Cause I’m a loser and sooner or later
You know I’ll be dead
You’re getting closer, you’re holding
the rope and I’m taking the fall
Cause I’m a loser!

"Back In The Saddle"
-Aerosmith-

(Chorus)
I'm back
I'm back in the saddle again
I'm back
I'm back in the saddle again

Ridin' into town alone
By the light of the moon
I'm looking for ol Sukie Jones
She crazy horse saloon
Barkeep gimme a drink
That's when she caught my eye
She turned to give me a wink
That make a grown man cry

(Chorus)

Come easy, go easy
All right until the rising sun
I'm calling all the shots tonight
I'm like a loaded gun
Peelin' off my boots and chaps
I'm saddle sore
Four bits gets you time in the racks
I scream for more
Fools' gold out of their mines
The girls are soaking wet
Not tounge's drier than mine
I'll come when I get back

I'm back in the saddle again
I'm back
I'm back in the saddle again
I'm riding, I'm loading up my pistol
I'm riding, I really got a fistful
I'm riding, I'm shining up my saddle
I'm riding, this snake is gonna rattle

(Chorus)

Ridin' high
Ridin' high
Ridin' high already

On Top of Spaghetti


On top of spaghetti,
All covered with cheese,
I lost my poor meatball,
When somebody sneezed.

It rolled off the table,
And on to the floor,
And then my poor meatball,
Rolled out of the door.

It rolled in the garden,
And under a bush,
And then my poor meatball,
Was nothing but mush.

The mush was as tasty
As tasty could be,
And then the next summer,
It grew into a tree.

The tree was all covered,
All covered with moss,
And on it grew meatballs,
And tomato sauce.

So if you eat spaghetti,
All covered with cheese,
Hold on to your meatball,
Whenever you sneeze.

 

[Ryanwb]

Any way you want it
That’s the way you need it
Any way you want it

She loves to laugh
She loves to sing
She does everything
She loves to move
She loves to grove
She loves the lovin’ things

Ooh, all night, all night
Oh, every night
So hold tight, hold tight
Ooh, baby, hold tight
