Keira Knightly -> Like a fool.


We take a chance from time to time
And put our necks out on the line
And you have broken
Every promise that we made

And I have loved you anyway

Took a fine time to leave me hanging out to dry
Understand now I'm grievin'
So don't you waste my time
'Cause you have taken
All the wind out from my sails

And I have loved you just the same

We finally find this
Then you're gone
Been chasing rainbows all along
And you have cursed me
When there's no one left to blame

And I have loved you just the same

And you have broken
Every single fucking rule

And I have loved you like a fool

Judy Collins - Both Sides Now: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A7Xm30heHms

Rows and flows of angel hair
And ice cream castles in the air
And feather canyons everywhere
I've looked at clouds that way

But now they only block the sun
They rain and snow on everyone
So many things I would have done
But clouds got in my way

I've looked at clouds from both sides now
From up and down, and still somehow
It's cloud illusions I recall
I really don't know clouds at all

Moons and Junes and Ferris wheels
The dizzy dancing way you feel
As every fairy tale comes real
I've looked at love that way

But now it's just another show
You leave 'em laughing when you go
And if you care, don't let them know
Don't give yourself away

I've looked at love from both sides now
From give and take, and still somehow
It's love's illusions I recall
I really don't know love at all

Tears and fears and feeling proud
To say "I love you" right out loud
Dreams and schemes and circus crowds
I've looked at life that way

But now old friends are acting strange
They shake their heads, they say I've changed
Well something's lost, but something's gained
In living every day

I've looked at life from both sides now
From win and lose and still somehow
It's life's illusions I recall
I really don't know life at all

I've looked at life from both sides now
From up and down and still somehow
It's life's illusions I recall
I really don't know life at all

Relient K
Sahara

Lying on my side knowing of thirst
Is how I'll die, chalk on my tongue
Relying on the night beneath the dunes
Is where I lie to block the sun

Trying to ignite some sort of passion
From inside to overcome
This feeling of desertion can't be worse
Than never having anyone

So I'll ask one thing, just one thing of you
Don't ever turn me loose, even when I turn my back

A lion on his side was it the lying
Or his pride which brought him down?
Once the king of beasts but now they feast
On the thoughts beneath his vacant crown

Trying to decide was it the lying
Or the pride which brought it down?
To be alone, to be dethroned
Believe me I know all about it now

So I'll ask one thing, just one thing of you
Don't ever turn me loose, even when I turn my back

I never told you then that I'd be easy to love
Supposedly I'm a man but I felt like a cub
I wanna run to the plains further and farther away
Not ever knowing that I'd never come back the same

As my organs gave way, I swear I felt something burst
It's been thirteen days and now I'm dying of thirst
As for the birds of prey
I pray that someone else will get here first

I am not alone, I'll be alright
Just take these bones
And breathe them back to life

So I'll ask one thing, just one thing of you
Don't ever turn me loose

So I'll ask one thing, just one thing of you
Don't ever turn me loose

So I'll ask one thing, just one thing of you
Don't ever turn me loose, don't ever turn me loose
Don't ever turn me loose, even when I turn my back

3 of my most favourite songs and artists:

House of Wolves by Bring Me The Horizon

-----------------------------------------------

Show me a sign, show me a reason to give,
A solitary fuck about your god damn beliefs
I'm going blind, but one thing's clear
Death is the only salvation you'll feel

Brick by brick by brick
Brick by brick by brick

What you call faith, I call a sorry excuse
Cloak and daggers murder the truth
The bitter taste, there's nothing else
I'll bow for your king when he shows himself

Brick by brick by brick
These walls begin to cave in
The house of wolves you built
Whispers in a thousand tongues

Show me your face, show me a reason to think,
My soul can be saved if I sell you my sins
I'm going blind, but one thing's clear
Death is the only salvation for me

Brick by brick by brick
These walls begin to cave in
The house of wolves you built
Whispers in a thousand tongues

The house of wolves you built
Will burn just like a thousand suns

When you die, the only kingdom you'll see
Is 2 foot wide and 6 foot deep

Yeah!

And when you die, the only kingdom you'll see
Is 2 foot wide and 6 foot deep
And when you die, the only kingdom you'll see
Is 2 foot wide and 6 foot deep, oh!

Brick by brick by brick
Brick by brick by brick
Brick by brick by brick
These walls begin to cave in

The house of wolves you built
Whispers in a thousand tongues

Brick by brick by brick
These walls begin to cave in
The house of wolves you built
Will burn just like a thousand suns

You said you want me
Now I'm here, now I'm here, now I'm here
You said you want me
Now I'm here, now I'm here, now I'm here

-----------------------------------------------

Burn by Papa Roach

-----------------------------------------------

I didn't know you were a fake
Every lie straight to my face
So blind I could not see
Right behind my back you stabbed me
Should've know you were a bitch
Shut up you're making me sick
Little man you're nothing like me
Lying cheating so deceiving
I trusted you broke me down
And you screwed me over

Don't try to deny it
You cannot hide it
Ill be ignited
When I get to watch you burn
Burn Burn
I wanna watch you burn
Burn Burn
I wanna watch you burn
You're gonna get what you deserve
I wanna watch you burn

You turn me inside out
My world is upside down
You're not hurt are you happy now
Looking over your shoulder fucking me over
I trusted you sold me out
This is far from over

Don't try to deny it
You cannot hide it
Ill be ignited
When I get to watch you burn
Burn Burn
I wanna watch you burn
Burn Burn
I wanna watch you burn
Burn
I wanna watch you burn
You're gonna get what you deserve
You'll never learn

Yah

Your time has come now
Its your turn
I'll watch you burn
Burn Burn Burn
I wanna watch you burn
Burn Burn
I wanna watch you burn
You're gonna get what you deserve
You'll never learn

Yah

Your time has come now
Its your turn
I wanna watch you burn
Burn Burn
I wanna watch you burn
Burn Burn
I wanna watch you burn

---------------------------------------

Best of You by Foo Fighters

---------------------------------------

I've got another confession to make
I'm your fool
Everyone's got their chains to break
Holdin' you

Were you born to resist or be abused?
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?

Are you gone and onto someone new?
I needed somewhere to hang my head
Without your noose
You gave me something that I didn't have
But had no use
I was too weak to give in
Too strong to lose
My heart is under arrest again
But I break loose
My head is giving me life or death
But I can't choose
I swear I'll never give in
I refuse

Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
Has someone taken your faith?
Its real, the pain you feel
You trust, you must
Confess
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
Oh...

Oh...Oh...Oh...Oh...

Has someone taken your faith?
Its real, the pain you feel
The life, the love you'd die to heal
The hope that starts the broken hearts
You trust, you must
Confess

Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?

I've got another confession my friend
I'm no fool
I'm getting tired of starting again
Somewhere new

Were you born to resist or be abused?
I swear I'll never give in
I refuse

Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
Has someone taken your faith?
Its real, the pain you feel
You trust, you must
Confess
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
Oh...

Excerpt of "Be Somebody", by Thousand Foot Krutch:
"I’m just the boy inside the man, not exactly who you think I am
Trying to trace my steps back here again, so many times
I’m just a speck inside your hand, you came and made me who I am
I remember where it all began so clearly

I feel a million miles away, still you connect me in your way
And you created within me something I would have never seen

When I could see only the floor, you made my window a door
So when they say they do not believe, I hope that they see you in me

After all the lights go down, I’m just the words; you are the sound
A strange type of chemistry, how you have become a part of me
And when I sit alone at night, your thoughts burn through me like a fire
You’re the only one who knows who I really am

We all want to be somebody, we just need a taste of who we are
We all want to be somebody, we’re willing to go but not that far."

It's weird... Coldplay has always been a good band to me, and they still are (don't get me wrong... I love these Birmingham boys to bits) but sometimes there music irritates me. This song really irritated me when I first heard it (while I was with the WWF people)... but the more I listened to it the more it grew on me.

What I like about it is the metaphors, of which almost every line can be taken in so many different ways... nothing in this song means what it says at face value. Or maybe it does and it's so brilliantly done that you assume it must be of deeper meaning.

Either way, this song has grown on me far more than I thought it would...

"Hymn For The Weekend"
(feat. Beyoncé)

Oh, angel sent from up above
You know you make my world light up
When I was down, when I was hurt
You came to lift me up
Life is a drink, and love's a drug
Oh, now I think I must be miles up
When I was a river, dried up
You came to rain a flood

And said drink from me, drink from me
When I was so thirsty
Pour on a symphony
Now I just can't get enough
Put your wings on me, wings on me
When I was so heavy
Pour on a symphony
When I'm low, low, low, low

I, oh, I, oh
Got me feeling drunk and high
So high, so high
I, oh, I, oh, I, oh
Now I'm feeling drunk and high
So high, so high
Woo!

Oh, angel sent from up above
I feel it coursing through my blood
Life is a drink, your love's about
To make the stars come out

Put your wings on me, wings on me
When I was so heavy
Pour on a symphony
When I'm low, low, low, low

I, oh I, oh I
Got me feeling drunk and high
So high, so high
Oh I, oh I, oh I
I'm feeling drunk and high
So high, so high

I, oh I, oh I
La la la la la la la
So high, so high
I, oh I, oh I
I'm feeling drunk and high
So high, so high

Then we'll shoot across the sky
Then we'll shoot across the...
Then we'll shoot across the sky
Then we'll shoot across the...
Then we'll shoot across the sky
Then we'll shoot across the...
Then we'll shoot across the sky
Then we'll shoot across the...

Relient K alwas seems to get me through very difficult times.
Their lyrics always somehow have relevance to what I'm feeling...

"Be My Escape"

I’ve given up on giving up slowly, I’m blending in so
You won’t even know me apart from this whole world that shares my fate
This one last bullet you mention is my one last shot at redemption
because I know to live you must give your life away
And I’ve been housing all this doubt and insecurity and
I’ve been locked inside that house all the while You hold the key
And I’ve been dying to get out and that might be the death of me
And even though, there’s no way in knowing where to go, promise I’m going because
I gotta get outta here
I’m stuck inside this rut that I fell into by mistake
I gotta get outta here
And I’m begging You, I’m begging You, I’m begging You to be my escape.

I’m giving up on doing this alone now
Cause I’ve failed and I’m ready to be shown how
He’s told me the way and I’m trying to get there
And this life sentence that I’m serving
I admit that I’m every bit deserving
But the beauty of grace is that it makes life not fair

Cause I’ve been housing all this doubt and insecurity and
I’ve been locked inside that house all the while You hold the key
And I’ve been dying to get out and that might be the death of me
And even though, there’s no way in knowing where to go, promise I’m going because
I gotta get outta here
Cause I’m afraid that this complacency is something I can’t shake
I gotta get outta here
And I’m begging You, I’m begging You, I’m begging You to be my escape.

I am a hostage to my own humanity
Self detained and forced to live in this mess I’ve made
And all I’m asking is for You to do what You can with me
But I can’t ask You to give what You already gave

Cause I’ve been housing all this doubt and insecurity and
I’ve been locked inside that house all the while you hold the key
And I’ve been dying to get out and that might be the death of me
And even though, there’s no way in knowing where to go, promise I’m going because
I’ve gotta get outta here
I’m stuck inside this rut that I fell into by mistake
I’ve gotta get outta here
And I’m begging You, I’m begging You, I’m begging
You to be my escape.

I fought You for so long
I should have let You in
Oh how we regret those things we do
And all I was trying to do was save my own skin
But so were You

So were You

Right now... It's this...

I tried to be perfect but nothing was worth it
I don't believe it makes me real
I thought it'd be easy but no one believes me
I meant all the things I said

If you believe it's in my soul
I'd say all the words that I know
Just to see if it wouldn't show
That I'm trying to let you know
That I'm better off on my own

This place is so empty
My thoughts are so tempting
I don't know how it got so bad
Sometimes it's so crazy
But nothing can save me
But it's the only thing that I have

If you believe it's in my soul
I'd say all the words that I know
Just to see if it wouldn't show
That I'm trying to let you know
That I'm better off on my own, on my own

I tried to be perfect it just wasn't worth it
Nothing could ever be so wrong
It's hard to believe me it never gets easy
I guess I knew that all along

If you believe it's in my soul
I'd say all the words that I know
Just to see if it wouldn't show
That I'm trying to let you know
That I'm better off on my own

This song has saved my ass more than once. It's become an anthem to me when I feel like I just can't some days.
Disturbed : The light

"The Light"
Like an unsung melody
The truth is waiting there for you to find it
It's not a blight, but a remedy,
A clear reminder of how it began
Deep inside your memory
Turned away as you struggled to find it
You heard the call as you walked away
A voice of calm from within the silence
And for what seemed an eternity
You wait and hoping it would call out again
You heard the shadow beckoning
Then your fears seemed to keep you blinded
You held your guard as you walked away

When you think all is forsaken,
Listen to me now
You need never feel broken again

Sometimes darkness can show you the light
An unforgivable tragedy
The answer isn't where you think you'd find it
Prepare yourself for the reckoning
For when your world seems to crumble again
Don't be afraid, don't turn away
You're the one who can redefine it
Don't let hope become a memory
Let the shadow permeate your mind and
Reveal the thoughts that were tucked away
So that the door can be opened again
Within your darkest memories
Lies the answer if you dare to find it
Don't let hope become a memory

When you think all is forsaken,
Listen to me now
You need never feel broken again

Sometimes darkness can show you the light
Sickening, weakening
Don't let another somber pariah consume your soul
You need strengthening, toughening
It takes an inner dark to rekindle the fire burning in you
Ignite the fire within you

When you think all is forsaken,
Listen to me now
You need never feel broken again
Sometimes darkness can show you the light

Don't ignore, listen to me now
You need never feel broken again
Sometimes darkness
Can show you the light.
If you take your marker and connect this dot to that one, that one to this one here you will get a really annoyed dalmatian.

Geir Rönning - Why

In the night, there's a candle burning
Little light full of ache and yearning
For the child who won't be returning
And all the loved ones left behind

Morning breaks with the news of violence
Nothing moves in the haze of silence
Deep inside it feels like a riot
Oh, where can I find peace of mind?

(And they say that our trouble's just begun)
Tell me how
(Tell me how much we'll lose before we've won)
These tears won't dry

So I'm asking
Why? Why?
Will we ever find the answer?
Why? Why?
Why can't love be all that matters?
Why? Why?
While we try to understand
Faith and hope are slipping through our hands
Can you tell me why?

What's the secret to make things better?
Where's the thread holding us together?
How do we find the key that lets us
Open up our hearts and minds?

Winds of faith blow us past our limits
Spend our lives searching for forgiveness
Can one voice really make a difference?
Still I know we've got to try

(And they say that our trouble's just begun)
Tell me how
(Tell me how much we'll lose before we've won)
These tears won't dry

So I'm asking
Why? Why?
Will we ever find the answer?
Why? Why?
Why can't love be all that matters?
Why? Why?
While we try to understand
Faith and hope are slipping through our hands
(Tell me why)

Tears are falling down like rain
A flood of questions come
It is getting hard to wake
Is really love so hard to find?

So I'm asking
Why? Why?
Will we ever find the answer?
Why? Why?
Why can't love be all that matters?
Why? Why?
While we pray to understand
Faith and hope are slipping through our hands
Tell me why

Сања Вучић - Goodbye (Shelter)

I wish I could stop it, wish I could fight it
But there’s nothing I can do, ooh…
I thought that we were meant for each other
Oh, how I wish I knew you better

I played a fool so many times, can’t even count it

Every time I say goodbye
You try to keep me by your side
Gotta fight my way out of your hands
Find a shelter from the pain

Every time you say your lies
I hide away and close my eyes
I won’t let you tear my world apart
Gonna find a shelter for my heart

I thought that it was supposed to hurt me
I thought that it was love, mmm…
I put my hands up but I won’t surrender
Don’t need what doesn’t serve me anymore

I lick my wounds, so that I can keep on fighting

Every time I say goodbye
You try to keep me by your side
Gotta fight my way out of your hands
Find a shelter from the pain

Every time you say your lies
I hide away and close my eyes
I won’t let you tear my world apart
Gonna find a shelter for my heart

(Oh… oh…)
Every time I said goodbye
(Oh… oh…)
Baby, stay away this time

Every time I say goodbye
(You try to hold me by your side)
I will fight my way out of your hands
(Find a shelter from the pain)

Every time… (Every time you say your lies)
(I hide away and close my eyes)
Won’t let you tear my world apart
Gonna find a shelter for my heart

Strident - Oblivion

Intro:

Every story begins
Every story must end
Every page we turn
Not knowing when the Gods
Will return to the realm of man
Come to reclaim creation again...

Verse 1:

Here we stand, on the eve of oblivion
Blood-red horizons bode our ultimate fate
Undying gods awaken from their uneasy sleep
They have returned, come to retake and to reforge

Pre-chorus:

There are no heroes this day
There are no champions of myth come to save us

Chorus:

When the sky cracks open
And fire scorches the Earth
When the fury of the gods descends from above
The prophecies of man, forgotten in the shadow
Of the final blinding light

Verse:

"Save yourself," cry the meek and the brave alike
All will abandon hope under blackening skies
Mountains quake and decay into dust once more
Shrouding the sun, the moon and the stars in eternal night

Pre-chorus:

There is no calm in the eye of this storm
There are no prayers, no sins to atone
The end has begun

Chorus:

Until the seal is broken, and thunder shatters the Earth
Until the stars are torn from Heaven above
In this final hour nothing but ashes and dust remain
Of all that was and would be

Solos: van Heerden / Ellis

Bridge:

Hear as the voice of the gods finally speaks
Without love or mercy
Hear as the voice of the gods casts us away
Into oblivion

Here we stand, as one
Born of the stars, all that we are
All that we were, unto the stars
Returned

Chorus:

When the sky cracks open
And fire scorches the Earth
Until the gods themselves step down from above
The memory of man, just one more fleeting shadow
In the final blinding light

When the seal is broken, and thunder shatters the Earth
Until the stars are torn from Heaven above
In this final hour, nothing but ashes and dust remain
Of all that was and would be
AND THEN THE CAGE COMES DOWN! The cage with the Japanese fighting spiders inside, your mother strikes a match off her forearm and tells you to dance in the front room for money... - Dylan Moran

I've got two. And I'm a massive geek.

The Skyrim theme song, since one only recently discovered the beautiful Elder Scrolls Games for real
.

[Clears throat, and sings beautifully]

Dovahkiin, Dovahkiin
naal ok zin los vahriin
wah dein vokul mahfaeraak ahst vaal!
Ahrk fin norok paal graan
fod nust hon zindro zaan
Dovahkiin, fah hin kogaan mu draal!

Huzrah nu, kul do od, wah aan bok lingrah vod
Ahrk fin tey, boziik fun, do fin gein!
Wo lost fron wah ney dov
ahrk fin reyliik do jul
voth aan suleyk wah ronit faal krein

Ahrk fin kel lost prodah,
Do ved viing ko fin krah,
Tol fod zeymah win kein meyz fundein!
Alduin, feyn do jun,
kruziik vokun staadnau,
voth aan bahlok wah diivon fin lein!

Nuz aan sul, fent alok,
fod fin vul dovah nok,
fen kos nahlot mahfaeraak ahrk ruz!
Paaz Keizaal fen kos stin nol bein Alduin jot!

Dovahkiin, Dovahkiin

wah dein vokul mahfaeraak ahst vaal!
Ahrk fin norok paal graan
fod nust hon zindro zaan
Dovahkiin, fah hin kogaan mu draal!

And, a song from my favourite band of ever, Shortstraw
.

[Clears throat, and, again, sings beautifully]

Simmer down, young couch potato
You forgot your square eyes
Come on back to bed my darling

You forgot your bedroom eyes

Cheer up!
Has something got you down?
Something's got you down.

Cheer up!
Has something got you down?
Something's got you down.

Ante up, you're so gullible
You've got those snake eyes
Come back down to earth my angel
You forgot your head light on

Cheer up!
Has something got you down?
Something's got you down.

Cheer up!
Has something got you down?
Something's got you down.

Growing up, you've been watching too much TV
With no self control, love
This isn't the movies
Buckle up now, son
Literally Nothing.. :D

Shortly before Skyrim came out, they released some of the lyrics to this song, along with a means of translating it. Being a massive geek myself, I used the cypher they provided to do so.
Not only does the song rhyme in the dragon language, it does so in English as well. I seem to have lost my own translation, but can confirm that I remember at least the following:

Dragonborn, Dragonborn
by his honor is sworn
To keep evil forever at bay!
And the fiercest foes rout
when they hear triumph's shout,
Dragonborn, for your blessing we pray!

...

And the Scrolls have foretold
of black wings in the cold,
that when brothers wage war come unfurled!
Alduin, Bane of Kings,
ancient shadow unbound,
with a hunger to swallow the world!


... It's pretty impressive.

Adagio wrote:Relient K alwas seems to get me through very difficult times.
Their lyrics always somehow have relevance to what I'm feeling...

"Be My Escape"

I’ve given up on giving up slowly, I’m blending in so
You won’t even know me apart from this whole world that shares my fate
This one last bullet you mention is my one last shot at redemption
because I know to live you must give your life away
And I’ve been housing all this doubt and insecurity and
I’ve been locked inside that house all the while You hold the key
And I’ve been dying to get out and that might be the death of me
And even though, there’s no way in knowing where to go, promise I’m going because
I gotta get outta here
I’m stuck inside this rut that I fell into by mistake
I gotta get outta here
And I’m begging You, I’m begging You, I’m begging You to be my escape.

I’m giving up on doing this alone now
Cause I’ve failed and I’m ready to be shown how
He’s told me the way and I’m trying to get there
And this life sentence that I’m serving
I admit that I’m every bit deserving
But the beauty of grace is that it makes life not fair

Cause I’ve been housing all this doubt and insecurity and
I’ve been locked inside that house all the while You hold the key
And I’ve been dying to get out and that might be the death of me
And even though, there’s no way in knowing where to go, promise I’m going because
I gotta get outta here
Cause I’m afraid that this complacency is something I can’t shake
I gotta get outta here
And I’m begging You, I’m begging You, I’m begging You to be my escape.

I am a hostage to my own humanity
Self detained and forced to live in this mess I’ve made
And all I’m asking is for You to do what You can with me
But I can’t ask You to give what You already gave

Cause I’ve been housing all this doubt and insecurity and
I’ve been locked inside that house all the while you hold the key
And I’ve been dying to get out and that might be the death of me
And even though, there’s no way in knowing where to go, promise I’m going because
I’ve gotta get outta here
I’m stuck inside this rut that I fell into by mistake
I’ve gotta get outta here
And I’m begging You, I’m begging You, I’m begging
You to be my escape.

I fought You for so long
I should have let You in
Oh how we regret those things we do
And all I was trying to do was save my own skin
But so were You

So were You

So I have to say, you actually got me somewhat hooked on Reliant K because of this, Adagio. I had heard some of their stuff before, and returning to it was pretty great. I spent about a week stuck on the album 'Mmhmm'...

"Be My Escape" of course. I'm also very fond of "More Than Useless", "This Week the Trend" and "Life After Death and Taxes". I like pretty much everything on the album though. I'll need to listen to more of their stuff...

Who I Am Hates Who I've Been has sort of become a theme song of mine of late! Hehe!

Mmhmm is a really good album!

I also love Hope For Every Fallen Man, from The Bird And The Bee Sides!

"Hope For Every Fallen Man (Acoustic)"

[Verse 1:]
As you push it up through the soil
I will shake your filthy hand
You may be dead to me
But that don't mean we can't be friends
Now it's time to get over this
Long as it's clear you understand
That I will never trust a single thing you say again

[Bridge:]
Because the judge of you
Is someone I could never be
Is why you should thank the Lord
That it is Him and it's not me

[Chorus:]
Don't give up, it's not the end
There's hope for every fallen man
To pick themselves up when they think they can't
Because with every passing second comes a second chance

[Verse 2:]
You stole so much from me
And there is nothing left to take
Save a hard-learned lesson
On how to not make the same mistake
And you may be delirious
But that is something that will fade
After you confess that this mess
Is all something that you made.

[Bridge:]
Oh, because the judge of you
Is someone I could never be
Is why you should thank the Lord
That it is Him and it's not me

[Chorus:]
Don't give up, it's not the end
There's hope for every fallen man
To pick themselves up when they think they can't
Because with every passing second comes a second chance
Oh, don't give up, it's not the end
Get back on your feet again
Forgiveness can be given when you think it can't
Cause with every passing second comes a second chance

[Breakdown:]
Oh, oh
Take a good look at yourself and know
You've got yourself a ways to go
But difficult is not impossible
You can take back all the lost control
Take a good look at yourself and see
That you'll emerge eventually
As long as your heart's not too far gone
From the only Thing that can save you from yourself

Forgiveness can be given when you think it can't
Cause with every passing second comes a second chance...

"Who I Am Hates Who I've Been" is another one I really like. The acoustic version was pretty good too.
"Hope For Every Fallen Man" is pretty excellent as well. I should listen to that whole album sometime.

Let's not post anything too explicit here. This is still a PG part of the forum.

New Robbie Williams song.
This song speaks to me and I suspect anyone else who suffers from or has at some stage suffered from depression.

Love My Life

Tether your soul to me
I will never let go completely
One day your hands will be
Strong enough to hold me
I might not be there for all your battles
But you'll win them eventually
I'll pray that I'm giving you all that matters
So one day you'll say to me

I love my life
I am powerful
I am beautiful
I am free
I love my life
I am wonderful
I am magical
I am me
I love my life

I am not my mistakes
And God knows I've made a few
I started to question the angels
And the answer they gave was you
I cannot promise there won't be sadness
I wish I could take it from you
But you'll find the courage to face the madness
And sing it because it's true

I love my life
I am powerful
I am beautiful
I am free
I love my life
I am wonderful
I am magical
I am me
I love my life

Find the others
With hearts
Like yours
Run far, run free
I'm with you

I love my life
I am powerful
I am beautiful
I am free
I love my life
I am wonderful
I am magical
I am me
I love my life
I am powerful
I am beautiful
I am free
I love my life
I am wonderful
I am magical
I am me
I love my life

And finally
I'm where I wanna be
If you've done nothing wrong you have nothing to fear,
if you've something to hide you shouldn't be here.

From one of my favourite songs.
Darkness - Darren Hayes

Turning pages over
Run away to nowhere
And it's hard to take control
When your enemy's old and afraid of you
You'll discover that the monster you were running from
Is the monster in you
If you've done nothing wrong you have nothing to fear,
if you've something to hide you shouldn't be here.
