Post the lyrics to a song that you really associate with or means a lot to you. This one is the most recent I've heard that I feel.
Seether - Fine Again
It seems like every day’s the same
and I’m left to discover on my own
It seems like everything is gray
and there’s no color to behold
They say it’s over and I’m fine again, yeah
Try to stay sober feels like I’m dying here
And I am aware now of how
everything’s gonna be fine one day
Too late, I’m in hell I am prepared now,
seems everyone’s gonna be fine
One day too late, just as well
I feel the dream in me expire
and there’s no one left to blame it on
I hear you label me a liar
‘cause I can’t seem to get this through
You say it’s over, I can sigh again, yeah
Why try to stay sober when I’m dying here
And I am aware now of how
everything’s gonna be fine one day
Too late, I’m in hell
I am prepared now,
seems everyone’s gonna be fine
One day too late; just as well
And I’m not scared now.
I must assure you,
you’re never gonna get away
And I’m not scared now.
And I’m not scared now. No...
I am aware now of how
everything’s gonna be fine one day
Too late, I’m in hell
I am prepared now
seems everyone’s gonna be fine
One day too late, just as well
I am prepared now,
seems everything’s gonna be fine for me
For me; for myself.
For me, for me, for myself
For me, for me, for myself
I am prepared now for myself
I am prepared now and I am fine again

In Your Eyes by Peter Gabriel
Love I get so lost, sometimes
days pass and this emptiness fills my heart
when I want to run away
I drive off in my car
but whichever way I go
I come back to the place you are
All my instincts, they return
and the grand facade, so soon will burn
without a noise, without my pride
I reach out from the inside
In your eyes
the light the heat
in your eyes
I am complete
in your eyes
I see the doorway to a thousand churches
in your eyes
the resolution of all the fruitless searches
in your eyes
I see the light and the heat
in your eyes
oh, I want to be that complete
I want to touch the light
the heat I see in your eyes
Love, I don't like to see so much pain
so much wasted and this moment keeps slipping away
I get so tired of working so hard for our survival
I look to the time with you to keep me awake and alive
And all my instincts, they return
and the grand facade, so soon will burn
without a noise, without my pride
I reach out from the inside
In your eyes
the light the heat
in your eyes
I am complete
in your eyes
I see the doorway to a thousand churches
in your eyes
the resolution of all the fruitless searches
in your eyes
I see the light and the heat
in your eyes
oh, I want to be that complete
I want to touch the light ,
the heat I see in your eyes
in your eyes
in your eyes
in your eyes
in your eyes
in your eyes
in your eyes
Love I get so lost, sometimes
days pass and this emptiness fills my heart
when I want to run away
I drive off in my car
but whichever way I go
I come back to the place you are
All my instincts, they return
and the grand facade, so soon will burn
without a noise, without my pride
I reach out from the inside
In your eyes
the light the heat
in your eyes
I am complete
in your eyes
I see the doorway to a thousand churches
in your eyes
the resolution of all the fruitless searches
in your eyes
I see the light and the heat
in your eyes
oh, I want to be that complete
I want to touch the light
the heat I see in your eyes
Love, I don't like to see so much pain
so much wasted and this moment keeps slipping away
I get so tired of working so hard for our survival
I look to the time with you to keep me awake and alive
And all my instincts, they return

I am complete
in your eyes
I see the doorway to a thousand churches
in your eyes
the resolution of all the fruitless searches
in your eyes

An early (1981) song from the Oils, "Written In The Heart"
The God-forsaken rifleman stands rigid at the bar;
The kids discover victims in the rubble and the tar.
They're married to ambitions, to the slogans of the war.
Slogans that used to be scrawled on the wall are written in the heart.
A woman bows to Mecca, and she struggles to her feet;
It's better since the President took the shooting off the street.
She pictures all the poverty, the cursed holy war.
Pictures that used to be scrawled on the wall are written in the heart.
The elders make a promise, and they forge it in the fire.
The general's car is sabotaged, four bullets in the tyre.
With the burning of the words there goes the scorching of the earth.
Words that used to be scrawled on the wall are written in the heart.
And the words that used to be scrawled on the wall are written in the heart.
And the words that used to be scrawled on the wall are written in the heart.
The God-forsaken rifleman stands rigid at the bar;
The kids discover victims in the rubble and the tar.
They're married to ambitions, to the slogans of the war.
Slogans that used to be scrawled on the wall are written in the heart.
A woman bows to Mecca, and she struggles to her feet;
It's better since the President took the shooting off the street.
She pictures all the poverty, the cursed holy war.
Pictures that used to be scrawled on the wall are written in the heart.
The elders make a promise, and they forge it in the fire.
The general's car is sabotaged, four bullets in the tyre.
With the burning of the words there goes the scorching of the earth.
Words that used to be scrawled on the wall are written in the heart.
And the words that used to be scrawled on the wall are written in the heart.
And the words that used to be scrawled on the wall are written in the heart.

"Changes in Latitudes, Changes in Attitudes" - Jimmy Buffett
I took off for a weekend last month
Just to try and recall the whole year
All of the faces and all of the places
Wonderin' where they all disappeared
I didn't ponder the question too long
I was hungry and went out for a bite
Ran into a chum with a bottle of rum
And we wound up drinkin all night
Chorus:
It's these changes in latitudes, changes in attitudes
Nothing remains quite the same
With all of our running and all of our cunning
If we couldn't laugh we would all go insane
Reading departure signs in some big airport
Reminds me of the places i've been
Visions of good times that brought so much pleasure
Makes me want to go back again
If it suddenly ended tomorrow
I could somehow adjust to the fall
Good times and riches and son of a bit***s
I've seen more than i can recall
I took off for a weekend last month
Just to try and recall the whole year
All of the faces and all of the places
Wonderin' where they all disappeared
I didn't ponder the question too long
I was hungry and went out for a bite
Ran into a chum with a bottle of rum
And we wound up drinkin all night
Chorus:
It's these changes in latitudes, changes in attitudes
Nothing remains quite the same
With all of our running and all of our cunning
If we couldn't laugh we would all go insane
Reading departure signs in some big airport
Reminds me of the places i've been
Visions of good times that brought so much pleasure
Makes me want to go back again
If it suddenly ended tomorrow
I could somehow adjust to the fall
Good times and riches and son of a bit***s
I've seen more than i can recall

manic monday....seems appropriate today. really, though, one that just seems to do it for me no matter how many times i listen to it is: seven bridges road by the eagles.
There are stars
In the Southern sky
Southward as you go
There is moonlight
And moss in the trees
Down the Seven Bridges Road
Now I have loved you like a baby
Like some lonesome child
And I have loved you in a tame way
And I have loved you wild
Sometimes there's a part of me
Has to turn form here and go
Running like a child from these warm stars
Down the Seven Bridges Road
There are stars in the Southern sky
And if ever you decide
You should go
There is a taste of time sweetened honey
Down the Seven Bridges Road
There are stars
In the Southern sky
Southward as you go
There is moonlight
And moss in the trees
Down the Seven Bridges Road
Now I have loved you like a baby
Like some lonesome child
And I have loved you in a tame way
And I have loved you wild
Sometimes there's a part of me
Has to turn form here and go
Running like a child from these warm stars
Down the Seven Bridges Road
There are stars in the Southern sky
And if ever you decide
You should go
There is a taste of time sweetened honey
Down the Seven Bridges Road

Simon and Garfunkel's "I Am a Rock"
A winter's day
In a deep and dark December
I am alone
Gazing from my window
To the streets below
On a freshly fallen silent shroud of snow
I am a rock
I am an island
I've built walls
A fortress deep and mighty
That none may penetrate
I have no need for friendship
Friendship causes pain
It's laughter and it's loving I disdain.
I am a rock
I am an island
Don't talk of love
Well, I've heard the word before
It's sleeping in my memory
I won't disturb the slumber
Of feelings that have died
If I'd never loved,
I never would have cried
I am a rock
I am an island
I have my books
And my poetry to protect me
I am shielded in my armor
Hiding in my room
Safe within my womb
I touch no-one and no-one touches me
I am a rock
I am an island
And the rock feels no pain
And an island never :cry:
A winter's day

That none may penetrate
I have no need for friendship
Friendship causes pain
It's laughter and it's loving I disdain.
I am a rock

If I'd never loved,
I never would have cried
I am a rock
I am an island

And my poetry to protect me

Safe within my womb

Angel
Sheryl Crow, performed by Sarah McLachlan
Spend all your time waiting
for that second chance
for a break that would make it okay
there's always one reason
to feel not good enough
and it's hard at the end of the day
I need some distraction
oh beautiful release
memory seeps from my veins
let me be empty
and weightless and maybe
I'll find some peace tonight
in the arms of an angel
fly away from here
from this dark cold hotel room
and the endlessness that you fear
you are pulled from the wreckage
of your silent reverie
you're in the arms of the angel
may you find some comfort there
so tired of the straight line
and everywhere you turn
there's vultures and thieves at your back
and the storm keeps on twisting
you keep on building the lie
that you make up for all that you lack
it don't make no difference
escaping one last time
it's easier to believe in this sweet madness oh
this glorious sadness that brings me to my knees
in the arms of an angel
fly away from here
from this dark cold hotel room
and the endlessness that you fear
you are pulled from the wreckage
of your silent reverie
you're in the arms of the angel
may you find some comfort there
you're in the arms of the angel
may you find some comfort here
Sheryl Crow, performed by Sarah McLachlan

Landslide Fleetwood Mac/Dixie Chicks
I took my love and I took it down.
Climbed a mountain and turned around.
And I saw my reflection in the snow-covered hills
'til the landslide brought it down.
Oh, mirror in the sky, what is love ?
Can the child within my heart rise above ?
Can I sail through the changin' ocean tides?
Can I handle the seasons of my life ?
I don't know .....I don't know?
Well I've been afraid of changin'
because I've built my life around you.
But time makes you bolder, even children get older
And I'm getting older too....
So, take my love and I took it down.
Climbed a mountain and I turned around
And if you see my reflection in the snow-covered hills ...
Well the landslide brought me down.
The landslide brought me down.

Evokes a powerful reaction from me even reading the lyrics... I bolded my favorite stanza.
Come Away With Me
(Norah Jones)
Muthajones Music (BMI)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Come away with me in the night
Come away with me
And I will write you a song
Come away with me on a bus
Come away with me where they can't tempt us
With their lies
I want to walk with you
On a cloudy day
In fields where the yellow grass grows
knee kigh
So won't you try to come
Come away with me and we'll kiss
On a mountain top
Come away with me
And I'll never stop loving you
And I want to wake up with the rain
Falling on a tin roof
While I'm safe there in your arms
So all I ask is for you
To come away with me in the night
Come away with me

Don't Wait For Heroes
I ve got my dreams
I know you think that s crazy
But I won t give up
Cause I ve got this burning desire in me
While the world sleeps
I sit up all night thinking
And making my plans
Cause there s something special
ahead for me
So don t you tell me
that I m wasting my time
Ruining my life
And that the odds against me
Are a million to one
Don t be concerned
I ll take the heat for
All the chances I m gonna take
Mistakes that I make
Just wait and see
You re gonna hear from me
Don t wait for heroes
Do it yourself, you ve got the power
Winners are losers
Who got up and gave it just one more try
One more try
If you re waiting for that miracle train
To call out your name
And if you think the rainbow
always finds someone else
Never yourself
Just look inside and find that spark
That s burning in you
Follow it through
The light you find
Well, it could change your life
Don t wait for heroes
Think for yourself, make your own choices
You know it s easy
to follow the crowd, but my advice is
Don t wait for heroes
Believe in yourself, you ve got the power
Winners are losers
Who got up and gave it just one more try
I ve got my dreams
I know you think that s crazy
But I won t give up
Cause I ve got this burning desire in me
While the world sleeps
I sit up all night thinking
And making my plans
Cause there s something special
ahead for me
So don t you tell me
that I m wasting my time
Ruining my life
And that the odds against me
Are a million to one
Don t be concerned

All the chances I m gonna take
Mistakes that I make

Hubby and I love this one in particular, but generally we dig all of her tunes. I love her remake of Cold Cold Heart by Hank Sr. That girl can sing.

I know it's sappy, but it really applies these days:
Con Te Partiro (Time to Say Goodbye)
The lyrics are in Italian, and I much prefer the duet sung by Sarah Brightman and Andrea Bocelli. My kidlet plays it beautifully on the piano as well. It's a beautiful song, but it leaves a lump in my throat.

The music and the words together never fail to give me goosebumps: When He rolls up His sleeves He ain't just putting on the ritz Our God is an awesome God There is thunder in His footsteps And lightning in His fists Our God is an awesome God The Lord wasn't joking When He kicked 'em out of Eden It wasn't for no reason That He shed His blood His return is very close And so you better be believing that Our God is an awesome God Chorus: Our God is an awesome God He reigns from Heaven above With wisdom power and love Our God is an awesome God And when the sky was starless In the void of the night Our God is an awesome God He spoke into the darkness And created the light Our God is an awesome God Judgment and wrath He poured out on Sodom Mercy and grace He gave us at the cross I hope that we have not Too quickly forgotten that Our God is an awesome God And it runs second only to this one: Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound, That saved a wretch like me.... I once was lost but now am found, Was blind, but now, I see. T'was Grace that taught... my heart to fear. And Grace, my fears relieved. How precious did that Grace appear... the hour I first believed. Through many dangers, toils and snares... we have already come. T'was Grace that brought us safe thus far... and Grace will lead us home. The Lord has promised good to me... His word my hope secures. He will my shield and portion be... as long as life endures. When we've been here ten thousand years... bright shining as the sun. We've no less days to sing God's praise... then when we've first begun. "Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound, That saved a wretch like me.... I once was lost but now am found, Was blind, but now, I see. That one always makes me cry.
