Must listen, MUST LISTEN!!
Speaks to me so hard it's shouting quietly.

Some verses of this speak volumes to me as well:
Take That - The Flood

Standing
On the edge of forever
At the start of whatever
Shouting love at the world

Back then
We were like cavemen
But we mapped the moon and the stars
Then we forgave them

We will meet you where the lights are
The defenders of the faith we are
When the thunder turns around
They'll run so hard we'll tear the ground away

You know no one dies
In these love-drowned eyes
Through our love-drowned eyes
We'll watch you sleep tonight

Although no one understood, we were holding back the flood
Learning how to dance the rain
We were holding back the flood
They said we'd never dance again

Bleeding
But none of us leaving
Watch your mouth, son
Or you'll find yourself floating home

Here we come now on a dark star
Seeing demons, not what we are
Tiny minds and eager hands
Will try to strike but now will end today

There's progress now
Where there once was none
Where there once was, ah
Then everything came along

Although no one understood, we were holding back the flood
Learning how to dance the rain
There was more of them than us
Now they'll never dance again

Although no one understood there was more of them than us
Learning how to dance the rain
We were holding back the flood
They said we'd never dance again

We will meet you where the lights are
The defenders of the faith we are
When the thunder turns around
They'll run so hard we'll tear the ground away

Although no one understood there was more of them than us
Learning how to dance the rain
There was more of them than us
Now they'll never dance again

Now we'll never dance again

Furry song? perhaps. but the song is actually very cool none the less...

"Dirty Paws" - Of Monsters And Men

Jumping up and down the floor,
My head is an animal.
And once there was an animal,
It had a son that mowed the lawn.
The son was an ok guy,
They had a pet dragonfly.
The dragonfly it ran away,
But it came back with a story to say.

Her dirty paws and furry coat,
She ran down the forest slope.
The forest of talking trees,
They used to sing about the birds and the bees.
The bees had declared a war,
The sky wasn't big enough for them all.
The birds, they got help from below,
From dirty paws and the creatures of snow.

And for a while things were cold,
They were scared down in their holes.
The forest that once was green
Was colored black by those killing machines.
But she and her furry friends
Took down the queen bee and her men.
And that's how the story goes,
The story of the beast with those four dirty paws.

This is a song which I think holds a lot of meaning for those struggling with their identity and purpose. It is by Mylène Farmer, whom I would call the French Katy Perry/Lady Gaga (in terms of image, not musical style) of the 80's/90's (even though she is still active). If you look for her music videos, be warned, many of them are very explicit (i.e. NSFW). I'll do my best to translate this one and retain as much of the poetic quality as possible. It obviously won't rhyme any more so interpret it as free verse if you will.

Mylène Farmer - A Quoi Je Sers (What Good Am I)

Living dust, I seek in vain my Milky Way
In my torment, I found only a tomb
And I wander
I fear the void
I turn pages
But... empty pages

Errant dust, I didn't know how to steer myself
Every hour asks for whom, for what, to straighten up
And I wander
I fear the void
Why these tears
Say... what is the point of living?

But my God what a fool I seem
I have no use at all
And who can say in this hell
What is expected of us, I admit
No longer knowing what good I am
No doubt none at all
Now I can remain silent
If all becomes disgust

Burning dust, the fever got the better of me
I laugh without laughing, I live, I blunder
And I wander
I fear the void
I turn pages
But... empty pages

But my God what a fool I seem
I have no use at all
And who can say in this hell
What is expected of us, I admit
No longer knowing what good I am
No doubt none at all
Now I can remain silent
If all becomes disgust

- Original Lyrics -

Poussière vivante, je cherche en vain ma voie lactée
Dans ma tourmente, je n'ai trouvé qu'un mausolée
Et je divague
J'ai peur du vide
Je tourne des pages
Mais... des pages vides

Poussière errante, je n'ai pas su me diriger
Chaque heure demande pour qui, pour quoi, se redresser
Et je divague
J'ai peur du vide
Pourquoi ces larmes
Dis... à quoi bon vivre

Mais mon Dieu de quoi j'ai l'air
Je sers à rien du tout
Et qui peut dire dans cet enfer
Ce qu'on attend de nous, j'avoue
Ne plus savoir à quoi je sers
Sans doute à rien du tout
A présent je peux me taire
Si tout devient dégoût

Poussière brûlante, la fièvre a eu raison de moi
Je ris sans rire, je vis, je fais n'importe quoi
Et je divague
J'ai peur du vide
Je tourne des pages
Mais ... des pages vides

Mais mon Dieu de quoi j'ai l'air
Je sers à rien du tout
Et qui peut dire dans cet enfer
Ce qu'on attend de nous, j'avoue
Ne plus savoir à quoi je sers
Sans doute à rien du tout
A présent je peux me taire
Si tout devient dégoût

Slient Lucidity - Queensryche

Hush now don't cry
Wipe away the teardrop from your eye
You're lying safe in bed
It was all a bad dream
Spinning in your head
Your mind tricked you to feel the pain
Of someone close to you leaving the game, of life
So here it is, another chance
Wide awake you face the day
Your dream is over, or has it just begun?

There's a place I like to hide
A doorway that I run through in the night
Relax child, you were there
But only didn't realize and you were scared
It's a place where you will learn
To face your fears, retrace the years
And ride the whims of your mind
Commanding in another world
Suddenly, you hear and see
This magic new dimension

I will be watching over you
I am gonna help you see it through
I will protect you in the night
I am smiling next to you, in silent lucidity

Visualize your dream
Record it in the present tense
Put it into a permanent form
If you persist in your efforts
You can achieve dream control
Dream control
How's that then, better?
Help me

If you open your mind for me
You won't rely on open eyes to see
The walls you built within
Come tumbling down, and a new world will begin
Living twice at once you learn
You're safe from pain in the dream domain
A soul set free to fly
A round trip journey in your head
Master of illusion, can you realize
Your dream's alive, you can be the guide but

I will be watching over you
I am gonna help you see it through
I will protect you in the night
I am smiling next to you, in silent lucidity
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

"To The Sky"

Shipwreck in a sea of faces
There's a dreamy world up there
Dear friends in higher places
Carry me away from here

Travel light, let the sun eclipse you
'Cause your flight is about to leave
And there's more to this brave adventure
Than you'd ever believe

Birds-eye view, awake the stars 'cause they're all around you
Wide eyes will always brighten the blue
Chase your dreams, and remember me, sweet bravery
'Cause after all those wings will take you, up so high
So bid the forest floor goodbye as you race the wind
And take to the sky (you take to the sky)

On the heels of war and wonder
There's a stormy world up there
You can't whisper above the thunder
But you can fly anywhere

Purple burst of paper birds
This picture paints a thousand words
So take a breath of myth and mystery
And don't look back

Birds-eye view, awake the stars 'cause they're all around you
Wide eyes will always brighten the blue
Chase your dreams, and remember me, sweet bravery
'Cause after all those wings will take you, up so high
So bid the forest floor goodbye as you race the wind
And take to the sky (you take to the sky)

There's a realm above the trees
Where the lost are finally found
Touch your feathers to the breeze
And leave the ground

Birds-eye view, awake the stars 'cause they're all around you
Wide eyes will always brighten the blue
Chase your dreams, and remember me, sweet bravery
'Cause after all those wings will take you, up so high
So bid the forest floor goodbye as you race the wind
And take to the sky
(You take to the sky) [x2]
This is your life, good to the last drop
Doesn't get any better than this
This is your life and it's ending one minute at a time

This is a favorite of mine: Midway - Sabaton

Send them over the waves, our sentinels
They report in the news, position of our foes
This battlefield's been chosen, tactically in advance
Time to alert our fighters, we're soon in range

Midway
We'll meet at Midway
Naval war

Calling all men to deck, got to be airborne
Head out into the sun, descending on our foes
This is the crucial moment, in the heat of the war
To fly and hit our targets, down in the waves

Midway, display their might
Ordering carriers, admirals at war
We'll meet at Midway to win the fight
Tactics are crucial, naval war

Far from shore, a pacific war
Bombs are falling from the skies
It's a bomb run day, it's the naval way
A blood red sun is on the rise

This song by Akcent brings tears to my eyes every single time, because, well, I feel that way about my mate...

"Next To Me"


You might think I`m going out of my mind
But I`m chasing out my dream
`Cause I would go to the moon and back
Just to tell you how I feel

You claimed my heart, you claimed my soul
I will never let you go
You are my world, my favorite girl
You make me lose control

I wanna hold your hand by the sea
Wanna feel you next to me
I wanna see the sunrise in your eyes
Wanna keep you by my side

You claimed my heart, you claimed my soul
I will never let you go
I wanna see the sunrise in your eyes
Wanna keep you by my side

(I love you … my baby
You drive me … so crazy … [x2])

You might think I`m wasting all of my time
But I`m not changing my mind
`Cause I will hold you girl by my side
I will hold you then in mind

You claimed my heart, you claimed my soul
I will never let you go
You are my world, my favorite girl
You make me lose control

I wanna hold your hand by the sea
Wanna feel you next to me
I wanna see the sunrise in your eyes
Wanna keep you by my side

You claimed my heart, you claimed my soul
I will never let you go
I wanna see the sunrise in your eyes
Wanna keep you by my side

(I love you … my baby
You drive me … so crazy … [x3])
I love you, I love you, I love you …

My favourite song would be Hate Me by Blue October

I have to block out thoughts of you so I don't lose my head
They're crawling like a cockroach leaving babies in my bed
Dropping little reels of tape to remind me that I'm alone
Playing movies in my head that make a porno feel like home
There's a burning in my pride,
A nervous bleeding in my brain
An ounce of peace is all I want for you
Will you never call again?
And will you never say that you love me
Just to put it in my face?
And will you never try to reach me?
It is I that wanted space

Hate me today
Hate me tomorrow
Hate me for all the things I didn't do for you

Hate me in ways
Yeah, ways hard to swallow
Hate me so you can finally see what's good for you

I'm sober now for three whole months,
It's one accomplishment that you helped me with
The one thing that always tore us apart
Is the one thing I won't touch again
In a sick way I want to thank you
For holding my head up late at night
While I was busy waging wars on myself,
You were trying to stop the fight
You never doubted my warped opinions
On things like suicidal hate
You made me compliment myself
When it was way too hard to take
So I'll drive so fucking far away
That I never cross your mind
And do whatever it takes in your heart
To leave me behind

Hate me today
Hate me tomorrow
Hate me for all the things I didn't do for you

Hate me in ways
Yeah, ways hard to swallow
Hate me so you can finally see what's good for you

And with a sad heart, I say bye to you and wave
Kicking shadows on the street
For every mistake that I had made
And like a baby boy,
I never was a man
Until I saw your blue eyes crying,
And I held your face in my hand
And then I fell down yelling,
"make it go away!"
Just make a smile come back
And shine just like it used to be
And then she whispered,
"How can you do this to me?"

Hate me today
Hate me tomorrow
Hate me for all the things I didn't do for you

Hate me in ways
Yeah, ways hard to swallow
Hate me so you can finally see what's good for you
For you
For you
For you

Devin Townsend - Let it Roll

Come on in, my love
...come in, don't be a stranger...
There are times, many times...
...When myself I've done stranger...
...stranger, stranger...
Let it roll lassy, roll.

Come what may, anyway...
I was born not to follow
There are times, many times...
When my pride I must swallow.
...follow...
...swallow...
Oh, let it roll lassy, roll.

Because in time, it goes away...
Time proves nothing stays.
The time for change has ended...
It loves you still but I never will again

Sia - Breathe Me: this one really hits me hard... I love it and want to cover it...

Help, I have done it again
I have been here many times before
Hurt myself again today
And the worst part is there's no one else to blame

Be my friend
Hold me, wrap me up
Unfold me
I am small and needy
Warm me up
And breathe me

Ouch I have lost myself again
Lost myself and I am nowhere to be found,
Yeah I think that I might break
I've lost myself again and I feel unsafe

Be my friend
Hold me, wrap me up
Unfold me
I am small and needy
Warm me up
And breathe me

Be my friend
Hold me, wrap me up
Unfold me
I am small and needy
Warm me up
And breathe me

Sara Bareilles - King Of Anything:
this song also means a lot to me... there are people in my life who need to listen to it.

Oh (oh oh oh)
Oh (oh oh oh)
Oh (oh oh oh)
Oh (oh oh oh)

Keep drinkin' coffee
Stare me down across the table
While I look outside

So many things I'd say if only I were able
But I just keep quiet
And count the cars that pass by

You've got opinions, man
We're all entitled to 'em
But I never asked

So let me thank you for your time
And try to not waste any more of mine
Get out of here fast

I hate to break it to you, babe
But I'm not drowning
There's no one here to save

Who cares if you disagree?
You are not me
Who made you king of anything?
So you dare tell me who to be
Who died and made you king of anything?

Oh (oh oh oh)
Oh (oh oh oh)
Oh (oh oh oh)
Oh (oh oh oh)

You sound so innocent
All full of good intent
You swear you know best

But you expect me to
Jump up on board with you
And ride off into your delusional sunset

I'm not the one who's lost
With no direction oh
But you'll never see

You're so busy makin' maps
With my name on them in all caps
You've got the talkin' down
Just not the listening

And who cares if you disagree?
You are not me
Who made you king of anything?
So you dare tell me who to be
Who died and made you king of anything?

All my life
I've tried
To make everybody happy while I
Just hurt
And hide
Waitin' for someone to tell me it's my turn
To decide.

Oh (oh oh oh)
Oh (oh oh oh)
Oh (oh oh oh)
Oh (oh oh oh)

Who cares if you disagree?
You are not me.
Who made you king of anything?
So you dare tell me who to be.
Who died and made you king of anything?

Who cares if you disagree?
You are not me.
Who made you king of anything?
So you dare tell me who to be.
Who died and made you king of anything?

Let me hold your crown, babe.
Oh ohhhhhhhhhhh
Ahhhhhhhhhhh

Here's a song almost everybody knows about death:

Is it a kind of a dream
Floating out on the tide
Following the river of death downstream
Oh is it a dream?
There's a fog along the horizon
A strange glow in the sky
And nobody seems to know where it goes
And what does it mean?
Oh is it a dream?

Bright eyes, burning like fire
Bright eyes, how can you close and fail?
How can the light that burned so brightly,
Suddenly burn so pale?
Bright eyes

Is it a kind of a shadow
Reaching into the night
Wandering over the hills unseen
Oh is it a dream?
There's a high wind in the trees
A cold sound in the air
And nobody ever knows where you go
And where do you start?
Oh into the dark

Bright eyes, burning like fire
Bright eyes, how can you close and fail?
How can the light that burned so brightly,
Suddenly burn so pale?
Bright eyes

Bright eyes, burning like fire
Bright eyes, how can you close and fail?
How can the light that burned so brightly,
Suddenly burn so pale?
Bright eyes

Suicide Note Pt.I - Pantera

Cheap cocaine, a dry inhale
The pills that kill
And take the pain away (Take the pain away)

Diet of life, shelter without
The face that cannot see inside
Yours and mine (Yours and mine)

When I'm hiding, when I need it
It lets me breathe
For our handle on this life, I don't believe
This time...

Would you look at me now? (Would you look at me now?)
Can you tell I'm a man? (Can you tell I'm a man?)
With the scars on my wrists
To prove I'll try again

Try to die again
Try to live through this night
Try to die again...

Forever fooling, free and using
Sliding down the slide that breaks a will (Breaks a will)

Mother's angel, getting smarter
How smart are you to regress unfulfilled? (Unfulfilled)
It's a damn shame...

When I'm hiding, when I need it
It lets me breathe
For our handle on this life, I don't believe
This time...

Would you look at me now? (Would you look at me now?)
Can you tell I'm a man? (Can you tell I'm a man?)
With the scars on my wrists (With these scars on my wrists)
To prove I'll try again (To prove I'll try again)

Would you look at me now? (Would you look at me now?)
Can you tell I'm a man? (Can you tell I'm a man?)
With the scars on my wrists (With these scars on my wrists)
To prove I'll try again (That proves I'll try again)

Try to die again
Try to live through this night
Try to die again...

YOU ME AT SIX LYRICS
"Bite My Tongue"
(feat. Oli Sykes of Bring Me The Horizon)

I hate to break it to you but
You're just a lonely star
I try to bring you down but
A level isn't good enough
You always do as you please
So I'm gonna follow suit
And take a seat
And watch you fall apart (watch you fall apart)
'Cause in the end
Who are you without me?

I'll slow this down 'cause I know that you can't keep up
Oh maybe I, maybe I was wrong from the start
I might be proud, but at least I'm proud of something
You've taken pride in becoming nothing

You keep me on the edge of my seat
I bite my tongue so you don't hear me
I wanna hate every part of you in me
I can't hate the ones who made me

You keep me on the edge of my seat
I bite my tongue so you don't hear me
I wanna hate every part of you in me
I can't hate the ones who made me

I'm married to the music
For better or for worse
You say that I'm privileged but
My gift is my curse
I can't recall the last time
Someone asking how I was
Last I checked I was a fucking wreck
I called for help and no one showed up
So I sit in the dirt

You keep me on the edge of my seat
I bite my tongue so you don't hear me
I wanna hate every part of you in me
I can't hate the ones who made me

You keep me on the edge of my seat
I bite my tongue so you don't hear me
I wanna hate every part of you in me
I can't hate the ones who made me

[Oli Sykes]
Don't forget what you've learned
Don't forget what you've heard
The truth just confirmed
I can't bear the sight of you anymore.
You've become what I hate
Sold yourself for a bit of fame
Now that the wolves have closed the door
You wanna drag me down some more
Fuck you
Fuck you

You keep me on the edge of my seat
I bite my tongue so you don't hear me
I wanna hate every part of you in me
I can't hate the ones who made me

You keep me on the edge of my seat
I bite my tongue so you don't hear me
I wanna hate every part of you in me
I can't hate the ones who made me

A song I'd almost totally forgotten about until I heard it again today, once was and actually is still one of my favourites.

Marillion – Beautiful

Everybody knows that we live in a world
Where they give bad names to beautiful things
Everybody knows that we live in a world
Where we don't give beautiful things a second glance

Heaven only knows that we live in a world
Where what we call beautiful is just something on sale
People laughing behind their hands
While the fragile and the sensitive are given no chance

And the leaves turn from red to brown
To be trodden down
To be trodden down

And the leaves turn from red to brown
Fall to the ground
Fall to the ground

We don't have to live in a world
Where we give bad names to beautiful things
We should live in a beautiful world
We should give beautiful a second chance

And the leaves fall from red to brown
To be trodden down
To be trodden down
And the leaves turn green to red to brown
Fall to the ground
And get kicked around

You strong enough to be..
Have you the faith to be..
Have you the courage to be..
Honest enough to say..

Don't have to be the same..
Don't have to be this way
Come on and sign your name
You wild enough to remain beautiful?
Beautiful

All the leaves turn from red to brown
To be trodden down
Trodden down
And all we fall green to red to brown
Fall to the ground
To be kicked around

You strong enough to be..
Why don't you stand up and say
Give yourself a break
They laugh at you anyway
So why don't you stand up and be
Beautiful.
If you've done nothing wrong you have nothing to fear,
if you've something to hide you shouldn't be here.

This has been, and always will be my favorite song, motivational and how i tend to try and live my life. Especially after today.

Somebody once told me the world is gonna roll me
I ain't the sharpest tool in the shed
She was looking kind of dumb with her finger and her thumb
In the shape of an "L" on her forehead

Well, the years start coming and they don't stop coming
Fed to the rules and I hit the ground running
Didn't make sense not to live for fun
Your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb

So much to do, so much to see
So what's wrong with taking the back streets?
You'll never know if you don't go
You'll never shine if you don't glow

[Chorus:]
Hey, now, you're an All Star get your game on, go play
Hey, now, you're a Rock Star get the show on get paid
And all that glitters is gold
Only shooting stars break the mold

It's a cool place and they say it gets colder
You're bundled up now but wait 'til you get older
But the media men beg to differ
Judging by the hole in the satellite picture

The ice we skate is getting pretty thin
The water's getting warm so you might as well swim
My world's on fire. How about yours?
That's the way I like it and I'll never get bored.

[Chorus 2x]

Somebody once asked could I spare some change for gas
I need to get myself away from this place
I said yep, what a concept
I could use a little fuel myself
And we could all use a little change


Well, the years start coming and they don't stop coming
Fed to the rules and I hit the ground running
Didn't make sense not to live for fun
Your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb

So much to do so much to see
So what's wrong with taking the back streets
You'll never know if you don't go
You'll never shine if you don't glow.

[Chorus]

And all that glitters is gold
Only shootin' stars break the mold
The world is slowly conforming to a new power and mode of communication. Memes. And Doge is king.

I Like it Heavy:

Some like beautiful, perfect and pretty
I see the good in the bad and the ugly
I need the volume one louder than ten
I put the pedal to the metal, needle into the red
If the windows ain't shaking
Making my heart race
If I can't feel it in my chest
I'm in the wrong damn place!

I got a demon in my soul and a voice in my head
It's saying go, go, go! I can sleep when I'm dead
There's a sonic revelation bringing me to my knees
And there's a man down below who needs my sympathy
I got a ringing in my ears getting ready to burst
Screaming "hallelujah, hallelujah take me to church"

I like it louder than the boom
Of a big bass drum
I need it harder than the sound
Of a guitar grunge
I love to crank it up
Make it thump
And evil to the core
Headbanging in the pit
And throwing my horns
And just like old school
Sabbath, Zeppelin and Lemmy
I need to drop it down low
And make it heavy
I like it heavy, oh ohh
I like it heavy, oh ohh

I ride the lightning, roll with the thunder
I'm going down down down with my sisters and brothers
I fell in love with their darkest parts
Stand on the side of the wild at heart
I plucked the feather off a crow so I could fly
Since I was thirteen years old I've had my fist to the sky

I like it louder than the boom
Of a big bass drum
I need it harder than the sound
Of a guitar grunge
I love to crank it up
Make it thump
And evil to the core
Headbanging in the pit
And throwing my horns
And just like old school
Sabbath, Zeppelin and Lemmy
I need to drop it down low
And make it heavy
I like it heavy, oh ohh
I like it heavy, oh ohh

I like it, I like it, I like it heavy
I like it, I like it, I like it heavy
I like it, I like it, I like it heavy
I like it, I like it, I like it heavy

Some like beautiful, perfect and pretty
I see the good in the bad and the ugly

I like it heavy, oh ohh
I like it heavy, oh ohh

I like it, I like it, I like it heavy
I like it, I like it, I like it heavy
I like it, I like it, I like it heavy
I like it, I like it, I like it heavy

Take me home tonight I'd do anything with you
Buy a bottle of whiskey, we'll get matching tattoos
Tell me that you love me, oh let me drive your car
We can sit to morning light, just countin' every star
'Cause if there's a Hell, I'll meet you there
And if there's a Heaven, they're serving beer
And if you're an angel then, I must be high
Oh if there's a church, it's rock 'n roll
If there's a devil, I sold my soul
And it's alright whatever we do tonight
'Cause if there's a God dammit she won't mind
If there's a God, baby she won't mind

I miss the misery

Ohhh, I miss the misery

I've been a mess since you stayed,
I've been a wreck since you changed,
Don't let me get in your way,
I miss the lies and the pain,
The fights that keep us awake-ake-ake

I'm tellin you

I miss the bad things,
The way you hate me,
I miss the screaming,
The way that you blame me,
Miss the phone calls,
When it's your fault,
I miss the late nights,
Don't miss you at all!
I like the kick in the face,
And the things you do to me!
I love the way that it hurts!
I don't miss you, I miss the misery

I've tried but just can't take it,
I'd rather fight than just fake it (cause I like it rough)
Can't take to much of a good thing,
I'm tellin you

I miss the bad things,
The way you hate me,
I miss the screaming,
The way that you blame me,
Miss the phone calls,
When it's your fault,
I miss the late nights,
Don't miss you at all,
I like the kick in the face,
And the things you do to me!
I love the way it hurts!
I don't miss you, I miss the misery

Just know that I'll make you hurt,
(I miss the lies and the pain what you did to me)
When you tell me you'll make it worse,
(I'd rather fight all night than watch tv)
I hate that feelin inside,
You tell me how hard you'll try,
But when we're at our worst,
I miss the misery

I miss the bad things,
The way you hate me,
I miss the screaming,
The way you blame me

I miss the rough sex,
Leaves me a mess,
I miss the feeling of pains in my chest,
Miss the phone calls,
When it's your fault,
I miss the late nights,
Don't miss you at all!
I like the kick in the face,
And the things you do to me!
I love the way that it hurts!
I don't miss you, I miss the misery

I don't miss you, I miss the misery

This song was a bit of a theme song for me for a while... It's got the most haunting melody... and the lyrics really mean a lot to me. I still get a tear in my eye every single time I hear it...

It's a very emotional peace...

Natasha Bedingfield - Wild Horses

Hmmm woah yea...

I feel these 4 walls closing in
My face up against the glass
I'm looking out... hmm
Is this my life I'm wondering
It happened so fast
How do I turn this thing around
Is this the bed I chose to make
Its greener pastures I'm thinking about hmm
Wide open spaces far away

All I want is the wind in my hair
To face the fear but, not feel scared

[Chorus:]
Wild horses I wanna be like you
Throwing caution to the wind
I'll run free too
Wish I could recklessly love, like I'm longing to
Run with the wild horses, run with the wild horses!
Oh yeah yea

I see the girl I wanna be
Riding bare back, care free along the shore
If only that someone was me
Jumping head first headlong without a thought
To act and damn the consequence
How I wish it could be that easy
But fear surrounds me like a fence
I wanna break free

All I want is the wind in my hair
To face the fear but, not feel scared
Hoohhh woah woah

[Chorus:]
Wild horses I wanna be like you
Throwing caution to the wind
I'll run free too
Wish I could recklessly love, like I'm longing to
I wanna run with the wild horses, run with the wild horses!
Oh yeah yea

I wanna run too.
Hohhh woah oh woah oh

Breaklessly abandoning my self before you

I wanna open up my heart tell him how I feel

[Chorus:]
Wild horses I wanna be like you
Throwing caution to the wind
I'll run free too
Wish I could recklessly love, like I'm longing to
I wanna run with the wild horses, run with the wild horses! [X2]
Hooaah woah oh woah
Yeah

I wanna run with the wild horses

Ih-Ah Devin Townsend

As everything in life, comes together now
I need your mind
And everything is light, I remember now
I see you rise.
And all the lonely things, seem to want to change
I'll sleep on it tonight.

Ih-ah!

We don't even understand
Something's going on
We don't even understand
So how could this be wrong... ah!
Ih-ah!

I'm so in love with you
...how could I?
Ever be untrue.
Am I with you?
With everything I do.
God I love you.
I love you...

We don't even understand
Something's going on
We don't even understand
So how could we be wrong

We don't know or care
Somethings always there
We see it's in own our hands,
But we just don't understand.

Queen - The Show Must Go On

Empty spaces - what are we living for
Abandoned places - I guess we know the score
On and on, does anybody know what we are looking for...
Another hero, another mindless crime
Behind the curtain, in the pantomime
Hold the line, does anybody want to take it anymore
The show must go on,
The show must go on
Inside my heart is breaking
My make-up may be flaking
But my smile still stays on.
Whatever happens, I'll leave it all to chance
Another heartache, another failed romance
On and on, does anybody know what we are living for?
I guess I'm learning, I must be warmer now
I'll soon be turning, round the corner now
Outside the dawn is breaking
But inside in the dark I'm aching to be free
The show must go on
The show must go on
Inside my heart is breaking
My make-up may be flaking
But my smile still stays on
My soul is painted like the wings of butterflies
Fairytales of yesterday will grow but never die
I can fly - my friends
The show must go on
The show must go on
I'll face it with a grin
I'm never giving in
On - with the show -
I'll top the bill, I'll overkill
I have to find the will to carry on
On with the -
On with the show -
The show must go on...

So many lines and verses that shout out to me. Anyone who knows me really well would probably be able to spot them.
If you've done nothing wrong you have nothing to fear,
if you've something to hide you shouldn't be here.

As I read the Gazette to catch up on the news,
Some classified adverts I chanced to peruse.
When I saw a category called “Steampunk”,
I turned to it eagerly, but left in a funk.
For I quite enjoy the steampunk aesthetic,
But what I beheld there was rather pathetic!
These intrepid online auctioneers
Had just taken modern objects and stuck on some gears!
It’s simply not cricket!
It shouldn’t be done!
But it’s clear how their thoughts had run:
Just glue some gears on it, and call it steampunk;
That’s the trendy fashion nowadays!
A copper-painted chunk of some nineteen-eighties junk
Will fetch a pretty penny on eBay!
But it got even worse than that, I’m afraid:
And as I went on, I became more dismayed;
For they often didn’t modify the things they wanted me to buy
Heavens to Besty!
They’ll end up on Regretsy!
Steampunk is more than a mere mode of dress
or decoration, so it brings me some distress
To see a metal cicada described with that name,
Or a teacup,
a mood ring,
a silver gilt frame.
Gluing on gears at least takes effort;
This is sloth of the worst sort!
Just glue some gears on it, and call it steampunk;
That’s the trendy fashion nowadays!
A copper-painted chunk of some nineteen-eighties junk
Will fetch a pretty penny on eBay!
“Steampunk” refers to a type of science fiction
about alternate pasts (not future prediction),
Often set in Victorian Britain,
But the history of technology has been rewritten.
So put a bit of thought into your designs!
Use leather and brass, nineteenth century lines!
“Retro-futuristic” is a good explanation;
Blend antique reality with imagination.
But calling things “steampunk” to try to sound “cool”,
Makes you look like a bloody fool!
Just glue some gears on it, and call it steampunk;
That’s the trendy fashion nowadays!
A copper-painted chunk of some nineteen-eighties junk
Will fetch a pretty penny on eBay!
Gauges and rivets, copper tubing and glass
Lend a steampunk creation a real touch of class
Gears are appropriate to introduce
If they look like they have a legitimate use.
Although Nixie tubes are undeniably splendid,
They date from long after the Age of Steam ended.
(Pity, really; I just love Nixie tubes.)
Anyway, I hope you’ve comprehended.
So use the word “steampunk” correctly, old chap
And don’t use it to refer to crap!
Just glue some gears on it, and call it steampunk;
That’s the trendy fashion nowadays!
A copper-painted chunk of some nineteen-eighties junk
Will fetch a pretty penny on eBay!
