Post some lyrics in your LJ that really mean something to you and say why. "Because they make me (happy, sad, wistful, etc)" does NOT count as a why. This is Strip Soul Poker
Piss on that. This is through a glass darkly. Make up your own reasons why I like it, you know you're going to anyway :P
Too many years fighting back tears
Why can't the past just die?
Wishing you were somehow here again
knowing we must say goodbye
Try to forgive, teach me to live
give me the strength to try
No more memories, no more silent tears
No more gazing across the wasted years
Help me say goodbye...
-- Wishing you were somehow here again
Sever the line to the guilty past
To the ones who brought us nothing
Spoke of futures brave and proud
And brought only hate and war.
Lined the roads with hollow praise
Marked the land with paper statues
Shadows fell on their futile ways
And then there was nothing more
-- Solitary
And you will never understand
How it feels to live your life
With no meaning or control
And with nowhere else to go
You are amazed that they exist
And they burn so bright whilst you can only wonder why
Rent a flat above a shop
Cut your hair and get a job
Smoke some fags and play some pool
Pretend you never went to school
But still you'll never get it right
'cause when you're laying in bed at night
Watching roaches climb the wall
If you called your dad he could stop it all
You'll never live like common people
You'll never do whatever common people do
You'll never fail like common people
You'll never watch your life slide out of view
And then dance and drink and screw
'because there's nothing else to do
-- Common People
Memory
You never let me cry
And you, you never said goodbye
Sometimes our tears blinded the love
We lost some dreams along the way
But I never thought you'd trade your soul to the fates
Never though you'd leave me alone
Time through the rain has set me free
Sands of time will keep your memory
Love everlasting fades away
Alive within your beatless heart
Dry your tears with love
-- Tears
The winner takes it all
The loser has to fall
Its simple and its plain
Why should I complain?
-- The winner takes it all
"If you read this line, remember not the hand that wrote it
Remember only the verse, songmaker's cry, the one without tears
For I've given this its strength and it has become my only strength.
Comforting home, mother's lap, chance for immortality
Where being wanted became a thrill I never knew
The sweet piano writing down my life"
"Teach me passion, for I fear it's gone
Show me love, hold the lorn
So much more I wanted to give to the ones who love me
I'm sorry
Time will tell, this bitter farewell
I live no more to shame nor me nor you
And you... I wish I didn't feel for you anymore..."
-- Dead boys poem
I don't know what you want, but I can't give it any more
