Resonating Song Lyrics

"Well some say life, will beat you down. Break your heart, steal your crown. So I've started out, for God knows where. I guess I'll know when I get there." - Tom Petty

Hero Of The Day - Metallica


Mama, they try and break me.
The window burns to light the way back home
A light that warms no matter where they've gone.
They're off to find the hero of the day
But what if they should fall by someone's wicked way?
Still the window burns, time so slowly turns
Someone there is sighing
Keepers of the flames
Do you feel your names?
Do you hear your babies crying?
Mama they try and break me
Still they try and break me
'Scuse me while I tend to how I feel
These things return to me that still seem real
Now deservingly this easy chair
But the rocking stops by wheels of despair
Don't want your aid
But the fist I've made for years won't hold or feel
No I'm not all me
So please excuse me while I tend to how I fell
But now the dreams and waking screams that ever last through the night (echoed between James and Jason)

So build the wall behind it crawl and hide until it's light
Can you hear your babies crying now?
Still the window burns
Time so slowly turns
And someone there is sighing
Keepers of the flames, can't you feel your names?
Can't you hear your babies crying?
But now the dreams and waking screams that
ever last the night
So build a wall behind it crawl
And hide until it's light
So can't you hear your babies crying now?
Mama they try and break me
Mama they try and break me
Mama they try and break me
Mama they try mama they try
Mama they try and break me
Mama they try and break me
Mama they try and break me
Mama they try and break me
Mama they try and break me
Mama they try and break me
Mama they try Mama they try

And so maybe
Your friends they stand around they watch you crumble
As you falter to the ground
And then someday
Your friends they stand beside as you were flying
Oh you were flying oh so high

Don't go changing, to try and please me,
You never let me down before,
Don't imagine, you're too familiar,
And I don't see you anymore.

I would not leave you, in times of trouble,
We never could have come this far,
I took the good times, I'll take the bad times,
I'll take you just the way you are.

Don't go trying, some new fashion,
Don't change the colour of your hair,
You always have my, unspoken passion,
Although I might not seem to care.

I don't want clever, conversation,
I never want to work that hard,
I just want someone, that I can talk to,
I want you just the way you are.

I need to know that you will always be
The same old someone that I knew,
What will it take till you believe in me,
The way that I believe in you?

I said I love you, and that's forever,
And this I promise from the heart,
I couldn't love you, any better,
I love you just the way you are.

I don't want clever, conversation,
I never want to work that hard,
I just want someone, that I can talk to,
I want you just the way you are.


Just the way you are by Billy Joel

Reminds me of something my husband said to me recently.

Edited because I seriously chopped it up LOL

Well I won't back down
No I won't back down
You can stand me up at the gates of hell
But I won't back down

No I'll stand my ground, won't be turned around
And I'll keep this world from draggin me down
gonna stand my ground
... and I won't back down

Work through the pain
I can't be defeated
I will remain
I will not quit"

Banrion

We weren't born to follow
Come on and get up off your knees
When life is a bitter pill to swallow
You gotta hold on to what you believe

Believe that the sun will shine tomorrow
And that your saints and sinners bleed
We weren't born to follow
You gotta stand up for what you believe

Let me hear you say yeah, yeah, yeah, oh yeah


Bon Jovi!!!!

If heaven and hell decide that they both are satisfied
Illuminate the no's on their vacancy signs
If there's no one beside you when your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark

you'll sit alone forever, if you wait for the right time, what are you hoping for? - 23 by jimmy eat world

ElleOQuent

This don't mean that you own me
This ain't no good, in fact it's phony as hell
But things worked out just like you wanted to
If you see me out you don't know me
Try to turn your head, try to give me some room
To figure out just what I'm going to do

And everyone here hates everyone here for doing just like they do
It's best if we all keep this quiet instead
And I couldn't tell why everyone here was doing me like they do
But I'm sorry now and I don't know how
To get it back to good

"Are you really here or am I dreamin'?
I can't tell dreams from truth,
For it's been so long since I have seen you.
I can hardly remember your face anymore.
When I get really lonely and the distance calls its only silence,
I think of you smiling with pride in your eyes a, lover that sighs. "

- "If You Want Me" Marketa Irglova with Glen Hansard

Love this one!

Once! LOVE

Oh, and there are a few scattered stanzas in Peter Gabriel's Blood of Eden that have special meaning to me as they remind me of the day I realized that my life was out of control - it was a few months before I managed to get help and turn things around, but I ramble... here are the lyrics:

I caught sight of my reflection
I caught it in the window
I saw the darkness in my heart
I saw the signs of my undoing
They had been there from the start
And the darkness still has work to do
The knotted chord's untying
[...]
My grip is surely slipping
I think I've lost my hold
Yes, I think I've lost my hold
I cannot get insurance anymore
They don't take credit, only gold
[...]
At my request, you take me in
In that tenderness, I am floating away
No certainty, nothing to rely on
Holding still for a moment
What a moment this is
Oh for a moment of forgetting, a moment of bliss
[...]
I can hear the distant thunder
Of a million unheard souls
Watch each one reach for creature comfort
For the filling of their holes

~ I have died everyday waiting for you ...
Darling don't be afraid I have loved you ...
For a thousand years ... I'll love you for a thousand more.

Great song.

why do birds suddenly appear
everytime you are near
just like me they long to be
close to you

lol makes me think of my boyfriend

I still remember the world
From the eyes of a child
Slowly those feelings
Were clouded by what I know now

Where has my heart gone
An uneven trade for the real world
Oh I... I want to go back to
Believing in everything and knowing nothing at all

I still remember the sun
Always warm on my back
Somehow it seems colder now

Where has my heart gone
Trapped in the eyes of a stranger
Oh I... I want to go back to
Believing in everything

...everybody carves a spot
And fills the hole with light.
And I pray someday I might
Shine as bright as you..

The entire song "Little Miss" by Sugarland- I could swear they wrote it about me!!
The song "Broken Wing" because it reminds me of the hell my best friend went through with a guy, therefore makes me cry every time.
And, last but definitely not least, "Does Anybody Hear Her?" by Casting Crowns, because it's just way too true.

"Something in the way she moves, or looks my way, or calls my name
that seems to leave this troubled world behind.
And if I'm feeling down and blue or troubled by some foolish game,
she always seems to make me change my mind..

And I feel fine anytime she's around me now, she's around me now almost all the time.
And if I'm well you can tell she's been with me now.
She's been with me now quite a long, long time and I feel fine."

Something in the Way She Moves - James Taylor

Simple song, but I love all of the lyrics for it actually

Control yourself.
Take only what you need from it.

To be haunted

I wanna paint my face and pretend that I am someone else
Sometimes I get so fed up, I don't even wanna look at myself
But people have problems that are worse than mine
I don't want you to think I'm complainin all the time
But I hate the way you look at me, I have to say
I wish I could start over...
I am slowly fallin' apart
I wish you'd take a walk in my shoes for a start
And you might think it's easy bein' me...
To just stand still, look pretty...

The lights go out all around me
One last candle to keep out the night
And then the darkness surrounds me
I know I'm alive
But I feel like I died
And all that's left is to accept that it's over
My dreams ran like sand through the fists that I made
I try to keep warm but I just grow colder
I feel like I'm slipping away

After all this has passed
I still will remain
After I've cried my last
There'll be beauty from pain
Though it won't be today
Someday I'll hope again
And there'll be beauty from pain
You will bring beauty from my pain

My whole world is the pain inside me
The best I can do is just get through the day
When life before is only a memory
I wonder why God lets me walk through this place
And though I can't understand why this happened
I know that I will when I look back someday
And see how you've brought beauty from ashes
And made me as gold purified through these flames

We could have had it all, Rolling in the deep, You had my heart inside your hand, And you played it to the beat

i love dahh! that would def be one of mine as well!

Does anybody hear her? Can anybody see?
Or does anybody even knows she's going down today
Under the shadow of our steeple
With all the lost and lonely people
Searching for the hope that's tucked away in you and me
Does anybody hear her? Can anybody see?

She is yearning
For shelter and affection
That she never found at home
She is searching
For a hero to ride in
To ride in and save the day

Taylor Swift's new song "Safe and Sound" is in my head and gives me shivers. Too excited for Hunger Games.

I remember tears streaming down your face
When I said, I'll never let you go
When all those shadows almost killed your light
I remember you said, Don't leave me here alone
But all that's dead and gone and passed tonight...

Just close your eyes
The sun is going down
You'll be alright
No one can hurt you now
Come morning light
You and I'll be safe & sound...

Don't you dare look out your window darling;
Everything's on fire
The war outside our door keeps raging on
Hold onto this lullaby
Even when the music's gone, gone

Just close your eyes
The sun is going down
You'll be alright
No one can hurt you now

Come morning light
You and I'll be safe & sound...
