I haven't heard this one for a while, but it somehow got stuck in my head today:
Papa Roach-Scars
QUOTE
I tear my heart open, I sew myself shut
My weakness is that I care too much
And my scars remind me that the past is real
I tear my heart open just to feel
Kinda matched my mood today. The sky was grey and dark and it was raining and I was in a weird mood today. But how a song I haven't heard for several months, and that on the radio, got stuck in my head is beyond me.
Slipknot-Duality
QUOTE
Push my fingers into my eyes...
It's the only thing that slowly stops the ache...
But it's made of all the things I have to take...
Jesus, it never ends, it works it's way inside...
If the pain goes on...
Aaaaaaaah!
I have screamed until my veins collapsed
I've waited last, my time's elapsed
Now, All I do is live with so much fate
I've wished for this, I've bitched at that
I've left behind this little fact:
You cannot kill what you did not create
I've gotta say what I've gotta say
And then I swear I'll go away
But I can't promise you'll enjoy the noise
I guess I'll save the best for last
My future seems like on big past
You'll live with me 'cause you left me no choice
Again, a dark song, but I kinda like it. I was listening to it on the radio for a long time before I found out that it was a Slipknot song. I'm too cheap to spring for a cd, and I don't like downloading music, so I listen to the radio a lot.
Kinks-State of Confusion
QUOTE
All the dirty dishes
Are still in the kitchen sink.
The tumble dryer's broken,
Now the telly's on the blink.
My girlfriend's packed her bags
And moved out to another town.
She couldn't stand the boredom
When the video broke down.
Don't know why I feel so bad.
Is it the weather, or am I going mad?
Don't know why I feel this way.
I don't know whether I'm coming or I'm going,
Can't cover up 'cause it's obviously showing.
It's a state (state)
Of confusion (whooooh).
We're in a state (state)
Of confusion (whooooh).
I don't know whether I'm coming or I'm going.
Should feel happy, should feel glad.
I'm alive and it can't be bad,
But back on planet Earth they shatter the illusion,
The world's going 'round in a state of confusion.
Not so dark this time. This is my theme song, pretty much.
Styx-Everything is Cool
QUOTE
Time is always on our side
Love is there to be our guide
We are spirits pure and free
And all our dreams are meant to be
Realized
But if we were granted just one minute
To choose a dream and stay there in it
How could we decide?
We are a sea of tranquility
We are the new golden age
History is a mystery
We will start it over on
A blank new page
Check in
Check out
No one needs to know
What you're thinking about
In the here
In the now
You can take it in
While you're working it out
'Cause you're into it
When you're out of it
Everything is cool in the land
Of the brave new world
Hey, what can I say? It's a good song to calm me down.
Styx-Heavy Metal Poisoning
QUOTE
Everything is black and white
You are wrong and we are right
First we'll spank your big behinds
Then we'll twist your little minds
I'm Dr. Righteous (I'm Dr. Righteous), and I'm here to sing (yeah!)
That heavy metal (heavy metal) is poisoning
It's a music wasteland, that destroys the young (yeah!)
They're overloaded (overloaded) on sex and drugs, sex and drugs, sex and drugs
And rock and roll!
I'm glad my mom was a headbanger and my dad likes rock, cause otherwise, I'd be getting this speech.
Metallica-The Unforgiven
QUOTE
what I' ve felt
what I' ve known
never shined through in what I' ve shown
never free
never me
so I dub thee unforgiven
they dedicate their lives
to running all of his
he tries to please them all
this bitter man he is
throughout his life the same
he's battled constantly
this fight he cannot win
a tired man they see no longer cares
the old man then prepares
to die regretfully
that old man here is me
Hey, what can I say? Metallica rocks. Rocktallica.
Metallica-The Unforgiven 2
QUOTE
Oh what I've felt, what I've known
Turn the pages, turn the stone
Behind the door, should I open it for you.... (So I dub thee unforgiven....)
Oh, what I've felt....
Oh, what I've known....
I take this key (never free...)
And I bury it (never me...) in you
Because you're unforgiven too....
Never free....
Never me....
'Cause you're unforgiven too....
Hey, I guess I'm just a metalhead.
Foo Fighters-DOA
QUOTE
Oh you know I did it
It's over and I feel fine
Nothing you could say is gonna change my mind
Waiting and I wait at the longest night
Nothing like the taste to sweet decline
I was down, I fell, I fell so fast
Dropping like the grains in an hourglass
Never say forever cause nothing last
Dancing with the thorns of my buried past
Nevermind there's nothing I can do
Bet your life there's something killing you
It's a shame we have to die my dear
No ones getting out of here, alive
This time
I just like the rythym to this song.
System of a Down-BYOB
QUOTE
Kneeling roses disappearing,
Into Moses’ dry mouth,
Breaking into Fort Knox,
Stealing our intentions,
Hangars sitting dripped in oil,
Crying FREEDOM!
Handed to obsoletion,
Still you feed us lies from the table cloth.
La la la la la la la la la,
Everybody’s going to the party have a real good time.
Dancing in the desert blowing up the sunshine.
Everybody’s going to the party have a real good time.
Dancing in the desert blowing up the sunshine.
Blast off, its Party time,
And we don't live in a fascist nation,
Blast off , its party time,
And where the hamster are you?
….. Yeah
Where the hamster are you?
Where the hamster are you?
This is very anti-war. I thought for the longest time that this was about the war in the Middle East. I was shocked to find out that it wasn't.
Ok, so I have an odd taste in music. You can stop laughing now. I like just about anything that's rock, and little else. I do like the Goldfinger version of 99 Red Balloons, that's good too. I like rock and anti-war songs. How's that?
I don't buy cds or download music, as one is expensive and the other could get me fined and end up being more expensive. (Plus, it's illegal, and it isn't right to steal music) I listen to the radio a lot, and these songs come up pretty often, and they are some of my favorites.
