Resonating Song Lyrics

Ajontheguitar

The tar in the street starts to melt from the heat
And the sweats runnin' down from my hair
I walked 20 miles and I'm dragging my feet
And I'll walk 20 more I don't care

And I'll wander this world, wander this world
Wander this world, wander this world all alone

I'm like a ghost some people can't see
Others drive by and stare
A shadow that drifts by the side of the road
It's like I'm not even there

And I'll wander this world, wander this world

Rompa_87

When the air that we breathe becomes air that we choke
When the marsh fever spreads from the swamps to our homes
When your home on the range has been torn down and paved and
The buffalo roam to a slaughterhouse grave
What more will it take

For us to know
This is not a test, oh no
This is cardiac arrest
Of a world too proud to admit our mistakes
Kissing the ground as well fall from grace


Rise Against - Collapse (Post-Amerika)

Nobody on the road
nobody on the beach
I feel it in the air
the summer's out of reach
Empty lake, empty streets,
the sun goes down alone
I'm drivin' by your house
Though I know you're not home

I can see you
Your brown skin shinin' in the sun
You got your hair combed back and your
sunglasses on, baby
And I can tell you my love for you will still be strong
after the boys of summer have gone

Against All Odds by Phil Collins.

Everytime I hear this song I am reminded of someone who I thought was "The One".
Unfortunately that person dumped me b/c I was too fat (only about 170 @ 21 yrs old) and he didnt want to have fat kids.
Yeah, that hurt.
He married a woman 10 years older than him (he was 28) who was a bleach blond chain smoker...
I could never figure that one out.. Mr. Health Nut.


How can you just walk away from me,
when all I can do is watch you leave
Cos we've shared the laughter and the pain,
and even shared the tears
You're the only one who really knew me at all

So take a look at me now,
'cos there's just an empty space
And there's nothing left here to remind me,
just the memory of your face
Take a look at me now,
'cos there's just an empty space
And you coming back to me
is against all odds and that's what I've got to face

I wish I could just make you turn around,
turn around and see me cry
There's so much I need to say to you,
so many reasons why
You're the only one who really knew me at all


I think thats when my wall went up...

I suggest we learn to love ourselves before it's made illegal...

Remember spring swaps snow for leaves
You'll be happy and wholesome again
When the city clears and sun ascends......."

You can look at the menu, but you just can't eat
You can feel the cushion, but you can't have a seat
You can dip your foot in the pool, but you can't have a swim
You can feel the punishment, but you can't commit the sin

And you want her, and she wants you
We want everyone
And you want her and she wants you
No one, no one, no one ever is to blame

"I'll find strength in pain and I will change my ways." - The Cave
Love, love, love that song! So not the kind of music I typically listen to but I want to learn how to rock out on a banjo because of it!

You still hold a value just not the one they want"

that's killing me again
That kid living life in the moment then

wakin up feelin good and limber
when the telephone it ring
was a bad man from california
tellin of a storm he'd bring
and of better days
from this town, we'd escape

You could have just propped me up on the table like a mannequin
Or a cardboard stand-up and paint me (paint me)
Any face that you wanted me
To be seen.
We're
Damned by the existential moment where
We saw the couple in the coma and
It was we were the cliché,
But we carried on anyway.

So, sure, I could just close my eyes.
Yeah, sure, trace and memorize,
But can you go back once you know

(You don't know me)
You don't know me at all
(You don't know me)
You don't know me at all (at all)


You don't know me-Ben Folds

"There's a rhyme and reason to the wild outdoors, when the heart of this star-crossed voyager beats in time with yours." --Elton John, Can You Feel The Love Tonight.
One of my favorite songs, and I have yet to convince Boyfriend to let it be our wedding song :grumble: it WILL happen! lol

Emeli Sande's 'Heaven':

"Oh heaven, oh heaven, I wake with good intentions, but the day it always lasts too long".

So very true of so many things in life (including dieting).

thegymbunny

Many's the time I've been mistaken, and many times confused
Yes and I've often felt forsaken, and certainly misused
Ah but I'm alright, I'm alright, I'm just weary to my bones
Still you don't expect to be bright and bon-vivant
So far away from home, so far away from home


Simon and Garfunkel- American Tune (one of my all time favorite songs)

VERY resonating... song reminds me of myself a couple years go.



She woke in the morning.
She knew that her life had passed her by
She called out a warning.
Don't ever let life pass you by.

I suggest we
Learn to love ourselves,
Before its made illegal
When will we learn, When will we change
Just in time to see it all come down


Warning-Incubus

Thank God for the man who put the white lines on the highway...

-Michael Stanley Band, "Lover"

thegymbunny

One that resonates with my life right now





To see you when I wake up
Is a gift I didn't think could be real.
To know that you feel the same as I do
Is a three-fold, Utopian dream.

You do something to me that I can't explain.
So would I be out of line if I said "I miss you"?

I see your picture.
I smell your skin on
The empty pillow next to mine.
You have only been gone ten days,
But already I'm wasting away.
I know I'll see you again
Whether far or soon.
But I need you to know that I care,
And I miss you.

Incubus(again) -I miss you

jonbobfrog

There's another world inside of me that you may never see
There's secrets in this life that I can't hide
Somewhere in this darkness there's a light that I can't find
Maybe it's too far away, maybe I'm just blind

And roaming through this darkness I'm alive but I'm alone
Part of me is fighting this but part of me is gone

When I'm Gone -- Three Doors Down

If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice.

Free Will -- Rush

BV1980

How many times can you put me down 'till in your heart you realize
If you choose to criticize, you choose your enemies

Everything that I say and do in your eyes is always wrong
Tell me where do I belong in a sick society?

"Call Me" by Shinedown.

BV1980

Trapped in a lonely body
I'm losing control
Can't show my emotions
And I'm losing my soul
Could it be that I'm obsessed
With feeding my disease?
I couldn't make it known
The hidden things that no one sees

Yeah, loser
I'm a secret loser
Loser
I'm a secret loser

Ozzy Osbourne - Secret Loser

ktbug82

I try to breathe
Memories overtaking me
I try to face them but
The thought is too much to conceive
I only know that I can change
Everything else just stays the same
So now I step out of the darkness
that my life became 'cause
I just needed someone to talk to
You were just to busy with yourself
You were never there for me
To express how I felt
I just stuffed it down
Now I'm older and I feel like
I could let some of this anger fade
But it seems the surface I am scratching
Is the bed that I have made

-Fade by Staind

JNick77

Previously I said Man Who Sold the World and that is still very strong but this song is really growing on me.

Feelings have failed me
Left me cold
On this road to nowhere
Dreams are my savior
Save me now,
Cause I know I'm fallin'

Favorite verse from, Road to Nowhere - Bullet for my Valentine

Learn to swim.

Cuz I'm praying for rain
And I'm praying for tidal waves
I wanna see the ground give way.
I wanna watch it all go down.
Mom please flush it all away.
I wanna watch it go right in and down.
I wanna watch it go right in.
Watch you flush it all away.

Every nerve in my body is so vacant and numb,
I can't even remember what it was I came here to get away from.
--Bob Dylan, "Not Dark Yet"

Maybe there’s a God above
But all I’ve ever learned from love
Was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you
--Leonard Cohen, "Hallelujah"

I was punching in the numbers at the ATM machine
I could see in the reflection
A face staring back at me
At the moment of surrender
Of vision over visibility
I did not notice the passers by
And they did not notice me
--U2, "Moment of Surrender"

You can look at the menu, but you just can't eat
You can feel the cushion, but you can't have a seat
You can dip your foot in the pool, but you can't have a swim
You can feel the punishment, but you can't commit the sin

And you want her, and she wants you
We want everyone
And you want her and she wants you
No one, no one, no one ever is to blame

Love that song...along with 'Died in your Arms' by the Cutting Crew

As for me...right now...there's about two dozen I could list...all mirroring various facets of my life. But most of all, on a totally personal level outside relationships or family or work or anything else...

Welcome to the fallout...
Welcome to resistance...
The tension is here...tension is here...
Between who you are and who you could be...
Between how it is and how it should be...

I dare you to move...
