[WithLoveFromAlyssa]

I dont know if this one has already been made... but...post some of your favorite lyrics.

I hear the clock, it's six a.m.
I feel so far from where I've been
I got my eggs and my pancakes too
I've got maple syrup, everything but you.
I break the yolks and make a smiley face
I kind of like it in my brand new place
I wipe the spots above the mirror,
Don't leave the keys in the door
I Never put wet towels
On the floor anymore, 'cause
Dreams last for so long
even after you're gone
I know you love me
And soon you will see
You were meant for me
And I was meant for you.


Jewel- You were meant for me.​

Go Radio - I Won't Lie

Four in the morning and I'm sober walking through the rain
It doesn't matter where I'm going everywhere's the same
Cold dark room
I've put myself into

You were a window to a world that I could never know
And asked for every piece of me and so I let you go
Way too soon
Now I'm back to my cold dark room

If I could take it all back
I could make it all right
You could be the best part of my life
I can tell you all night that I wanna be
The man I'm supposed to be
That...

I won't lie
I've waited a million hours just to say that
I will die if you leave me
You are the way my heart beats
And you are the words my tongue speaks
And I will die if you leave me

I know you've heard a thousand words that took your breath away
A million melodies that never got the notes to say
What they mean
I promised you everything

If I could take it all back
I could make it all right
You could be the best part of my life
I can tell you all night that I wanna be
The man I'm supposed to be
That...

I won't lie
I've waited a million hours just to say that
I will die if you leave me
You are the way my heart beats
And you are the words my tongue speaks
And I will die if you leave me

This is me when my world stops turning
Heart stops while I notice everything is falling apart
This is me when my lungs start burning
To say what I mean when I know that I could but I won't
Tell me things that'll break the silence
I swear I can hear every heart beat in this place
I wanna see the hope, I wanna feel the love, I wanna hear what you say When I say

I won't lie
I've waited a million hours just to say that
I will die if you leave me
You are the way my heart beats
And you are the words my tongue speaks
And I will die if you leave me
(Well please don't ever leave)

Satellites and Sirens - Anchor

You said open your eyes and
I said I don't like surprises
You said surprise you're up to your knees in the water and don't have a life vest
I know, I know, I know
But don't worry I've got it figured out
You said jump in the boat man
I said no you reach your hand
You said the storms that will come will be more than enough and alone you can not win
You know, You know, You know
With out hope you'll only sink not swim

And the current here is stronger now than I remember and I'm crying for you to help, Please save me.


When I feel like I am drifting away
Sinking down, the sands are shifting today
I'm about to loose my way
You Anchor, Anchor me down
Looking out the skies are turning to grey
All around the tide is pulling away
Just about to loose my way
You Anchor, Anchor me down

You said whatever happens
Don't get caught in the rapids
Hold on I’m over the edge and I’m reaching for help cause I
Im caught in the deep end
I know, I know, I know
What you said but I’m in over my head
You said that I’m not alone here
I said throw me a rope then
I've had more then enough of the rain and the cold and I wanna give up and
I know, I know, I know
With out hope I'll only sink not swim

And the current here is stronger now than I remember and I'm crying for you to help, Please save me.

And the current here is stronger now than I remember and I'm crying for you to help, Please save me.

These all so far have been very depressing..

 

[PaintB]

Interesting, I've never listened to that song (the one I posted) and thought it was depressing. But after reading the lyrics without the music it somewhat is..
I don't think it's meant to be though.

 

[Lord Of The Forest]

As tears again bedew my cheek, to Your knees I cling.
Oh Merciful One, show me Your glory.
Was I not bruised? Have You not healed?
They dance to silence, but Your song I hear:
Holy Lord, fathomless God;
Tears flow, but the water is sweet.
Holy Lord, fathomless God;
I fall as one dead with quivering lips.
Blessed be, Priest and Friend,
All Heavens bow in admiration.
Fathomless Depth,
Measureless Height:
Great is Your holiness.


A Poet's Tears of Porcelain by Virgin Black

 

[Toro]

One of my favs for a long time.

Once I had a friend that I could count on
So I thought
Well so it seemed
But times of need are not enough
To prove your friendship to me now
Once I saw a face that I believed in
But a mask was all there was
So who wears the masks and who wears the faces
Well I guess I'll never know

But as I stand here alone in a room full of people
With nothing to say
Beer on their minds, and smoke in the air
Call them friends but they just don't care

Friend for life
Such shallow words for broken minds
Show me a friend for life
Cause I'll be waiting for that day to arrive
When I'll feel alive
I'll be waiting for that day

Once I found a love I had to know
Now we might know each other just too well
Cause when we're together we just can't get enough
Or is it we just can't get what we want
Once I saw a dream, I had to chase it
Dreams quickly turn to reality
Who's at fault in this game of yours and mine
Well I guess I'll never know

But as I sit here alone
Think of the girl
The look in her eyes, the smell of her hair
Call her my own but is she really there?

Love for life
Such noble words for noble minds
Show me a love for life
Cause I'll be waiting for that day to arrive
When I'll feel alive
I'll be waiting for that day

Once I had a friend that I could count on
Times of need are not enough
Once I found a love I had to know
Now we might know each other just too well
Once I saw a dream I had to chase it
Dreams quickly turn to reality
Now let me close my eyes
Because I don't want to see anything anymore

Ill be waiting- The offspring.

 

[EyesOfKohl]

I like this piece for its meaning and it was actually written by a French resistance member...First time I actually heard it was live being performed by Leonard Cohen ^^

"The Partisan"

When they poured across the border
I was cautioned to surrender,
this I could not do;
I took my gun and vanished.
I have changed my name so often,
I've lost my wife and children
but I have many friends,
and some of them are with me.

An old woman gave us shelter,
kept us hidden in the garret,
then the soldiers came;
she died without a whisper.

There were three of us this morning
I'm the only one this evening
but I must go on;
the frontiers are my prison.

Oh, the wind, the wind is blowing,
through the graves the wind is blowing,
freedom soon will come;
then we'll come from the shadows.

Les Allemands e'taient chez moi, (The Germans were at my home)
ils me dirent, "Signe toi," (They said, "Sign yourself,")
mais je n'ai pas peur; (But I am not afraid)
j'ai repris mon arme. (I have retaken my weapon.)

J'ai change' cent fois de nom, (I have changed names a hundred times)
j'ai perdu femme et enfants (I have lost wife and children)
mais j'ai tant d'amis; (But I have so many friends)
j'ai la France entie`re. (I have all of France)

Un vieil homme dans un grenier (An old man, in an attic)
pour la nuit nous a cache', (Hid us for the night)
les Allemands l'ont pris; (The Germans captured him)
il est mort sans surprise. (He died without surprise.)

Oh, the wind, the wind is blowing,
through the graves the wind is blowing,
freedom soon will come;
then we'll come from the shadows.

 

[Lord Of The Forest]

So, I found my beloved in the mountains
On the lonely and far distant isles
O'er resounding waters
I heard the whispering of love's breezes
To heal my broken heart

Oh, tranquil evening, silent music
And the sounding solitude of the rising dawn
It is there that I hear You
There that I taste of You
In love's banquet to fill my heart

And I found Your footprints
In the sands by the sea
And like Your maiden
I ran along the way to a secret chamber

And there You gave to me
There You taught me, O so well
And I drank of Your sweet spiced wine
The wine of God
And there I gave to You
Keeping nothing for myself
And I promised You forever
To be Your Bride

And I found Your footprints
In the sands by the sea
And like Your maiden
I ran along the way to a secret chamber

So I have abandoned
All I ever sought to be
And in dying
My spirit has been released


I Found My Beloved by John Michael Talbot

 

[RobertMerton]

If i sit down with the wrong man.
And don't cast my vote republican
What will my brother think of me?

Am I praying in the wrong way?
Do I worship on the wrong day?
What're we fighting for?
So I.. Will meet you by the cross
If that's the only place we meet.
It's fine by me.

If my thoughts on predestination
Seem to you a bit outrageous.
May I still worship at your side?

Is what I'm wearing on my body,
'Causing you to look right past me?
What're we looking for?

So I.. Will meet you by the cross
If that's the only place we meet.
It's fine by me.

Sooo I
WIll meet you by the cross.
If that's the only place we meet,
it's fine by me.

Sweating, bleeding on His knees
Waiting there in place of me
His prayer was "Father's may they be warned"

So I will meet you at the Cross
If that's the only place we meet
It's fine by me


So I will meet you at the Cross
If that's the only place we meet
It's fine by me

At the cross - Justin McRoberts

Oh Sleeper - "Son of the Morning" and "The Finisher"

It's two songs, the first at the beginning of the album, and the second at the end. The first, Son of the Morning is a monologue from Satan directed at God, and The Finisher is God replying to Satan.

"Son of the Morning"
And they call him the son of the morning...
I am the rival. I am the one who speaks in whisper.
Hear me now, dear, weak forgiver.
Hear me now, weak forgiver. Hear me now...
Don't send an angel to face the devil.
You're wasting power on grace.
A maggot will always seek to feed from the grave,
where I'll lead them and teach them to feast on the skin that defeats them, the skin they crave.

"If you could see like me you'd see you haven't won anything (anything)
If you could see like me you'd see, it's by my grace that you're breathing (breathing)
If you could see like me you'd see you haven't won anything.
If you could see like me you'd see."

Every night I start my rise, climbing high into the morning sky,
but soon after I lose your bride and I damn your son for stealing my light.
This world is mine...
They call me the son of the morning.
They call me the son of the morning.
I can mound all your fallen past the clouds as they roll in,
and when I do I will claim your throne through all these cowards you call your sons.
I am the lord of air and my dawn will last forever.
Go on pouring out because in the end I will have them.

"If you could see like me you'd see you haven't won anything (anything)
If you could see like me you'd see, it's by my grace that you're breathing (breathing)
If you could see like me you'd see you haven't won anything.
If you could see like me you'd see, your precious light is fading.
Your light is fading."

"The Finisher"
Do you mean to challenge me?
Because your speech is threatening to the writer of your history, through a future perverted by envy.
Your whisper may sway the weak, but when I speak it roars the sea.
Your challenge has been met, because with a breath I could snap your neck.
This won't be like the first time you tried, because my patience and mercy for you has run dry.
You've watered among my bride and started seeds to feed your throning flight.
I will sing to the world your storm is capturing and the angels will join me...
We will sing to a world reborn from suffering.
But mark my words, because if that tree keeps them from seeing me
I will burn off your limbs and you will never shade again.
You will bow at my feet or I'll rip out your knees and make of your face all the carnage you crave.
I am the Finisher and I am Forever.
I will sing to the world your storm is capturing and the angels will join me...
We will sing to a world reborn from suffering.
From the armories the angels sing. You will see them end this suffering.
From the armories the angels sing. You will fear them when they lift their wings.
They will sing to a world reborn.
They will sing as I cut off your horns.
I'll cut off your horns.

 

[In His Love Forever]

I mainly listen to Christian music.

Our God - Chris Tomlin

Our God is greater, our God is stronger, God you are higher than any other.
Our God is Healer, Awesome in Power, Our God! Our God!
And if our God is for us, then who could ever stop us.
And if our God is with us, then what could stand against.

Great I am - Phillips, Craig & Dean

The mountains shake before You the demons run and flee
At the mention of the name King of Majesty
There is no power in hell
Or any who can stand
Before the power and the presence of the great I AM

More Beautiful You Lyrics
Little girl fourteen flipping through a magazine
Says she wants to look that way
But her hair isn't straight, her body isn't fake
And she's always felt overweight

Well, little girl fourteen I wish that you could see
That beauty is within your heart
And you were made with such care, your skin, your body and your hair
Are perfect just the way they are

There could never be a more beautiful you
Don't buy the lies, disguises and hoops, they make you jump through
You were made to fill a purpose that only you could do
So there could never be a more beautiful you

Little girl twenty one the things that you've already done
Anything to get ahead
And you say you've got a man but He's got another plan
Only wants what you will do instead

Well, little girl twenty one you never thought that this would come
You starve yourself to play the part
But I can promise you there's a man whose love is true
And He'll treat you like the jewel you are

There could never be a more beautiful you
Don't buy the lies, disguises and hoops, they make you jump through
You were made to fill a purpose that only you could do
So there could never be a more beautiful you, more beautiful you

So turn around you're not too far
To back away be who you are
To change your path go another way
It's not too late, you can be saved
If you feel depressed with past regrets
The shameful nights hope to forget
Can disappear, they can all be washed away

By the one who's strong, can right your wrongs
Can rid your fears dry, all your tears
And change the way you look at this big world
He will take your dark distorted view
And with His light, He will show you truth
And again you'll see through the eyes of a little girl

That there could never be a more beautiful you
Don't buy the lies, disguises and hoops, they make you jump through
You were made to fill a purpose that only you could do
So there could never be a more beautiful you
There could never be a more beautiful you


I love this song! It speaks so strongly of where I have been and how God brings you through it and loves you No matter where you are in your walk with him.

 

[Krillin]

I've always loved Gorillaz for their interesting and thought provoking lyrics.


Distant stars
Come in black or red
I've seen their worlds
Inside my head

They connect
With the fall of man
They breathe you in
And dive as deep as they can

There's nothing you can do for them
They are the force between
When the sunlight is arising

There's nothing you can say to him
He is an outer heart
And the space has been broken

Broken
Our love
Broken

Is it far away in the
Glitter Freeze
Or in our eyes
Every time they leave

It's by the light
Of the plasma screens
We keep switched on
All through the night while we sleep

There's nothing you can do for them
They are the force between
When the sunlight is arising

There's nothing you can say to her
I am without a heart
And the space has been broken

Broken
Our love
Broken

Kacey Musgraves - Rainbow

When it rains it pours
But you didn't even notice
It ain't rainin' anymore
It's hard to breathe when all you know is
The struggle of
Staying above
The rising water line

Well, the sky has finally opened
The rain and wind stopped blowin'
But you're stuck out in the same old storm again
You hold tight to your umbrella
But, darling, I'm just tryin' to tell ya
That there's always been a rainbow hangin' over your head

If you could see what I see
You'd be blinded by the colours
Yellow, red and orange and green
And at least a million others
So tie up the boat
Take off your coat
And take a look around

'Cause the sky has finally opened
The rain and wind stopped blowin'
But you're stuck out in the same old storm again
You hold tight to your umbrella
Well, darling, I'm just tryin' to tell ya
That there's always been a rainbow hangin' over your head

Oh, tie up the boat
Take off your coat
And take a look around
Everything is alright now

'Cause the sky has finally opened
The rain and wind stopped blowin'
But you're stuck out in the same old storm again
Let go of your umbrella
'Cause, darling, I'm just tryin' to tell ya
That there's always been a rainbow hangin' over your head
Yeah, there's always been a rainbow hangin' over your head

It'll all be alright

 

[Cute Peonies]

King & Country - Shoulders

I look up to the mountains
Does my strength come from the mountains?
No, my strength comes from God
Who made heaven and earth, and the mountains

When confusion's my companion
And despair holds me for ransom
I will feel no fear
I know that You are near

When I'm caught deep in the valley
With chaos for my company
I'll find my comfort here
'Cause I know that You are near

My help comes from You
You're right here, pulling me through
You carry my weakness, my sickness, my brokenness
All on Your shoulders
Your shoulders

My help comes from You
You are my rest, my rescue
I don't have to see to believe that
You're lifting me up on Your shoulders
Your shoulders

You mend what once was shattered
And You turn my tears to laughter
Your forgiveness is my fortress
Oh, Your mercy is relentless

My help comes from You
You're right here, pulling me through
You carry my weakness, my sickness, my brokenness
All on Your shoulders
Your shoulders

My help comes from You
You are my rest, my rescue
I don't have to see to believe that
You're lifting me up on Your shoulders
Your shoulders

My help is from You
Don't have to see it to believe it
My help is from You
Don't have to see it, 'cause I know, 'cause I know it's true

My help is from You
Don't have to see it to believe it
My help is from You
Don't have to see it, 'cause I know, 'cause I know it's true

My help comes from You
You're right here, pulling me through
You carry my weakness, my sickness, my brokenness
All on Your shoulders
Your shoulders

My help comes from You
You are my rest, my rescue
I don't have to see to believe that
You're lifting me up on Your shoulders
Your shoulders

My help is from You
Don't have to see it to believe it
My help is from You
Don't have to see it, 'cause I know, 'cause I know it's true

MercyMe - On My Way To You

Almost there, almost where I'm supposed to be
It's not all clear, but You keep showing me
With every step, the more my heart moves to Your beat
Just like where I'm headed, there's joy in the journey

Teach me to think like You think
Show me the things that are true
Finish the work You have started in me

As I'm on my way to You
As I'm on my way to You

Create in me a pure heart and make me new
Less of me, Jesus more of You
Here I stand, still I'm drawn down to my knees
It's not my strength, but Your's that carries me

Teach me to think like You think
Show me the things that are true
Finish the work You have started in me

As I'm on my way to You
As I'm on my way to You
Yes, I'm on my way to You

Teach me to think like You think
Show me the things that are true
Finish the work You have started in me

As I'm on my way to You
As I'm on my way to You
Yes, I'm on my way to You

I'm on my way
I'm on my way
I'm on my way
I'm on my way to You

 

[angelsaroundme]

Hold Me Jesus By Rich Mullins

Well sometimes my life just don't make sense at all
When the mountains look so big
And my faith just seems so small

So hold me Jesus 'cause I'm shaking like a leaf
You have been King of my glory
Won't You be my Prince of Peace

And I wake up in the night and feel the dark
It's so hot inside my soul
I swear there must be blisters on my heart

So hold me Jesus 'cause I'm shaking like a leaf
You have been King of my glory
Won't You be my Prince of Peace

Surrender don't come natural to me
I'd rather fight You for something I don't really want
Than to take what You give that I need
And I've beat my head against so many walls
Now I'm falling down I'm falling on my knees

And this Salvation Army band is playing this hymn
And Your grace rings out so deep
It makes my resistance seem so thin

I'm singing hold me Jesus 'cause I'm shaking like a leaf
You have been King of my glory
Won't You be my Prince of Peace

You have been King of my glory
Won't You be my Prince of Peace

 

[DragonFox91]

Come on and rise up, take a breath, you're alive now
Can't you hear the voice of Jesus calling us
Out from the grave like Lazarus
You're brand new, the power of death couldn't hold you
Can't you hear the voice of Jesus calling us
Out from the grave like Lazarus
Rise up, rise up, rise up
Out from the grave like Lazarus
