Pulled through you, and drowning in your swirl
Circling, unfolding in your will
I’m gonna glide on the winds of your breathing
And alight on your guarded heart

I’m gonna tear all your temples down
I’m on a MISSION now

Smoldering down inside your mood
Slithering and fanning in your eyes
I’m going to dive through your crying and sleep in your hair
Rise from your ashes and kneel in you prayers

I’m gonna tear all your temples down
I’m on a MISSION now

And I have nothing, but then the have is not as good as the want

I’m gonna glide on the winds of your breathing
Writhe in your calm and provide your release
Weave into your wanting and needing
And reside in the heart of your strongest beliefs

Tear all your temples down
I’m on a MISSION now
I’m on a MISSION now
I’m on a MISSION now

I have nothing…
But then the have is not as good as the WANT!

- Chris Cornell

I have this problem - I think about something until I bore a hole into my mind. This song always cheered me up when I was sad. It makes you feel comforted by an older, wiser person and makes you feel like a baby for dwelling on things too much.

“For verily, with hardship comes ease. Verily, with hardship comes ease.” - The Quran

I’m not afraid of anything in this world
There’s nothing you can throw at me that I haven’t already heard
I’m just trying to find a decent melody
A song that I can sing in my own company

I never thought you were a fool
But darling, look at you
You gotta stand up straight, carry your own weight
These tears are going nowhere, baby

You’ve got to get yourself together
You’ve got stuck in a moment and now you can’t get out of it
Don’t say that later will be better now you’re stuck in a moment
And you can’t get out of it

I will not forsake the colors that you bring
But the nights you filled with fireworks
They left you with nothing
I am still enchanted by the light you brought to me
I listen through your ears, and through your eyes I can see

And you are such a fool
To worry like you do
I know it’s tough, and you can never get enough
Of what you don’t really need now … my oh my

You’ve got to get yourself together
You’ve got stuck in a moment and you can’t get out of it
Oh love look at you now
You’ve got yourself stuck in a moment and you can’t get out of it

I was unconscious, half asleep
The water is warm till you discover how deep
I wasn’t jumping, for me it was a fall
It’s a long way down to nothing at all

You’ve got to get yourself together
You’ve got stuck in a moment and you can’t get out of it
Don’t say that later will be better now
You’re stuck in a moment and you can’t get out of it

And if the night runs over
And if the day won’t last
And if your way should falter
Along the stony pass

And if the night runs over
And if the day won’t last
And if your way should falter
Along the stony pass
It’s just a moment
This time will pass

- U2

lol i remember hearing this song when i was like 13 and i didnt know what love was then, but i thought the main lyrics were interesting

now that i do know what love is, i find the chorus quite apt - i’m sure a lot of you will too lol, especially the girls out there…

————————————————————————————–

Midnight, gettin’ uptight. Where are you?
You said you’d meet me, now it’s quarter to two
I know I’m hangin’ but I’m still wantin’ you.
Hey, Jack, It’s a fact they’re talkin’ in town.
I turn my back and you’re messin’ around.

I’m not really jealous, don’t like lookin’ like a clown.
I think of you ev’ry night and day.

You took my heart, then you took my pride away.
I hate myself for loving you .
Can’t break free from the the things that you do.
I wanna walk but I run back to you, that’s why
I hate myself for loving you .

Daylight, spent the night without you.
But I’ve been dreamin’ ’bout the lovin’ you do.
I won’t be as angry ’bout the hell you put me through.
Hey, man, bet you can treat me right.
You just don’t know what you was missin’ last night.
I wanna see your face and say forget it just from spite.

I hate myself for loving you .
Can’t break free from the the things that you do.
I wanna walk but I run back to you, that’s why
I hate myself for loving you.
I hate myself for loving you.
Can’t break free from the things that you do.
I wanna walk but I run back to you, that’s why
I hate myself for loving you .

I think of you ev’ry night and day.
You took my heart, then you took my pride away.
I hate myself for loving you .
Can’t break free from the the things that you do.
I wanna walk but I run back to you, that’s why
I hate myself for loving you .
I hate myself for loving you .
I hate myself for loving you .

- Joan Jett

If you twist and turn away
If you tear yourself in two again
If I could, yes I would
If I could, I would…
Let it go

Surrender
Dislocate

If I could throw this lifeless lifeline to the wind
Leave this heart of clay
See you walk, walk away
Into the night
And through the rain
Into the half-light
And through the flame

If I could through myself
Set your spirit free
I’d lead your heart away
See you break, break away
Into the light
And to the day

To let it go
And so to fade away
To let it go
And so fade away

Wide awake
Wide awake
Wide awake
I’m not sleeping

If you should ask then maybe they’d
Tell you what I would say
True colors fly in blue and black
Bruised silken sky and burning flag
Colors crash, collide in bloodshot eyes

If I could, you know I would
If I could, I would
Let it go…

This desperation
Dislocation
Separation
Condemnation
Revelation
In temptation
Isolation
Desolation…
Let it go

And so fade away
To let it go
And so fade away
To let it go
And so to fade away

Wide awake
Wide awake
Wide awake
I’m not sleeping
Oh no, no…

- U2

And I wished for so long
Cannot stay…
All the precious moments
Cannot stay…
It’s not like wings have fallen
Cannot stay…
Without you something’s missing
Cannot say…

Holding hands our daughters and sons
And their faiths are falling down, down, down…
I have wished for so long
How I wish for you today

We all walk the long road
Cannot stay
There’s no need to say goodbye

All the friends and family
All the memories going round, round, round…
I have wished for so long
How I wish for you today

And the wind keeps roaring
And the sky keeps turning gray
And the sun is setting
The sun will rise another day

We all walk the long road
Cannot stay
There’s no need to say goodbye

I have wished for so long
How I wish for you today
I have wished for so long
How I wish for you today

We all walk the long road
We all walk the long road
We all walk the long road…

- Eddie Vedder with Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan

I took a drive today
Time to emancipate
I guess it was the beatings made me wise
But I’m not about to give thanks or apologize

I couldn’t breathe
Holdin’ me down
Hand on my face
Kissin’ the ground
Enmity gauged
United by fear
Spos’ed to endure what I could not forgive…

I seem to look away
Wounds in the mirror waved
It wasn’t my surface most defiled

Head at your feet
Fool to your crown
Fist on my plate
Swallowed it down
Enmity gauged
United by fear
Tried to endure what I could not forgive…

Saw things
Saw things
Saw things
Saw things
Clearer
Clearer
Once you
Were in my
Rearview mirror

I gather speed
From you ****ing with me
Once and for all
I’m far away
I hardly believe
Finally the shades
Are raised

Saw things so much clearer
Once you were in my rearview mirror
Saw things so much clearer
Once you were in my rearview mirror…

-Pearl Jam

I took my love and I took it down
I climbed a mountain and I turned around
And I saw my reflection in the snow covered hills
Well the landslide brought me down

Oh, mirror in the sky
What is love
Can the child within my heart rise above
Can I sail through the changing ocean tides
Can I handle the seasons of my life

Well, I’ve been afraid of changing ’cause I built my life around you
But time makes you bolder
Children get older
And I’m getting older too

Well…

Well, I’ve been afraid of changing ’cause I built my life around you
But time makes you bolder
Children get older
I’m getting older, too
Well I’m getting older too

So, take this love and take it down
Yeah and if you climb a mountain and ya turn around
And if you see my reflection in the snow covered hills
Well the landslide brought me down

And if you see my reflection in the snow-covered hills
Well maybe
Well maybe
Well maybe
The landslide will bring you down

- The Dixie Chicks, covering Fleetwood Mac

Behind her eyes there’s curtains
And they’ve been closed to hide the flames…
Remains

She know’s their future’s burning
But she can smile just the same…
Same

And though her mood is fine today
There’s a fear they’ll soon be parting ways

Standing like a statue
A chin of stone, a heart of clay…
Hey

And though he’s too big a man to say
There’s a fear they’ll soon be parting ways

Drifting away
Drifting away
Drifting away
Drifting away…

- Pearl Jam

I seem to recognize your face
Haunting, familiar, yet, I can’t seem to place it
Cannot find the candle of thought to light your name
Lifetimes are catching up with me

All these changes taking place
I wish I’d seen another place
But no one’s ever taken me

Hearts and thoughts they fade
Fade away
Hearts and thoughts they fade
Fade away

I swear I recognize your breath
Memories like fingerprints are slowly raising
Me, you wouldn’t recall
For I’m not my former
It’s hard when you’re stuck upon the shelf

I changed by not changing at all
Small town predicts my fate
Perhaps that’s what no one wants to see

I just want to scream - “Hello!”
My God, it’s been so long
Never dreamed you’d return
But now here you are…and here I am

But hearts and thoughts, they fade…away

Hearts and thoughts they fade
Fade away
Hearts and thoughts they fade
Fade away
Hearts and thoughts they fade
Fade away
Hearts and thoughts they fade
Fade away…

- Pearl Jam

Sheets of empty canvas
Untouched sheets of clay
Were laid spread out before me
As her body once did
All five horizons
Revolved around her soul
As the earth to the sun
Now the air I tasted and breathed
Has taken a turn

And all I taught her was everything
I know she gave me all that she would

And now my bitter hands
Chafe beneath the clouds
Of what was everything
Oh the pictures have
All been washed in black
Tattooed everything

I take a walk outside
I’m surrounded by
Some kids at play
I can feel their laughter
So why do I sear

Oh, and twisted thoughts that spin
Round my head
I’m spinning, oh, I’m spinning
How quick the sun can, drop away…

And now my bitter hands
Cradle broken glass
Of what was everything
All the pictures had
All been washed in black
Tattooed everything

All the love gone bad
Turned my world to black
Tattooed all I see
All that I am
All I’ll be…

I know someday you’ll have a beautiful life
I know you’ll be the sun
In somebody else’s sky
But why, why, why can’t it be
Why can’t it be mine?

- Pearl Jam
