Lyrics that resonate with you at the moment

Rush - Time Stands Still

The older I get, the more potent this song becomes. It's fitting considering they were my age when they wrote it...

I turn my back to the wind
To catch my breath
Before I start off again.
Driven on without a moment to spend
To pass an evening with a drink and a friend

I let my skin get too thin
I'd like to pause
No matter what I pretend
Like some pilgrim
Who learns to transcend
Learns to live as if each step was the end

(Time stand still)
I'm not looking back
But I want to look around me now
(Time stand still)
See more of the people and the places that surround me now
Freeze this moment a little bit longer
Make each sensation a little bit stronger
Experience slips away
Experience slips away

I turn my face to the sun
Close my eyes
Let my defences down
All those wounds that I can't get unwound

I let my past go too fast
No time to pause
If I could slow it all down
Like some captain, whose ship runs aground
I can wait until the tide comes around

(Time stand still)
I'm not looking back
But I want to look around me now
(Time stand still)
See more of the people and the places that surround me now
Freeze this moment a little bit longer
Make each impression a little bit stronger
Freeze this motion a little bit longer
The innocence slips away
The innocence slips away...

Summer's going fast, nights growing colder
Children growing up, old friends growing older
Freeze this moment a little bit longer
Make each sensation a little bit stronger
Experience slips away
Experience slips away...
The innocence slips away

Offspring - Living in Chaos


Somewhere the time was right, could have been gone in ten
This world is hard to fight, hitting you once, hit it again
To know the way it feels, everyone gets knocked down
When you get up it's real, by taking it back, turn it around

Get on it, up on it
Get on it - wouldn't wanna be you
Get on it, out on it
Get on it - no one's gonna free you
You know, when you're keeping it slow
No matter where you wanna go - wouldn't wanna be you
Get on it, up on it
It's on - we're living in chaos

Somewhere along the line, things get chipped away
This place keeps going down, gets a little worse every day
I see hate and greed, this world's a messed up town
Embrace the pain and see, by taking it back, you turn it around
 
I cannot take the take, your condition was nod awake
A selfish cryer, boldface liar, robbing all of what
You could take in
Stabbed towards a death, a dirty smelling girl
Shit decisions, no provisions, filling veins with juice
Of chaos
Painted face, olive drab, swollen hole, empty bag,
Sunken eyes, whining dog, it’s times like this
You should pray for never
I broke your fucking mold,!
Then
Threw away the
Cast, new religion and new provisions, it’s amazing
You’re alive
Drop the needle and stop what you’re changing into
Erase the end dissolving, disgrace is needed more
So I mended severed ties, through flesh we cauterized
The undeserving, sliming, writhing, I filled you up
With watered promise
Spitting teeth, oral lust, alley fuck, angel dust,
Anal whore, bleeding knees, it’s times
Like this to pray for murder
So now I’ve seen it all, hells’ wrath , no
Man has greater glory, cause now you’re living through me
So I’m done with saving you, a gift unto myself, a
Tired savior, a wasted favor, and I’m lucky I’m alive
 
"I'll show you mine if you show me your's first. Let's compare scars, I'll tell you whose is worse. Let's unwrite these pages and replace them with our own words. We live on front porches and swing life away, we get by just fine here on minimum wage. If love is a labour, I'll slave to the end, I won't cross these streets until you hold my hand."
 
Avril Lavigne - Fall To Pieces

"And I don't wanna fall to pieces
I just want to sit and stare at you
I don't want to talk about it
And I don't want a conversation
I just want to cry in front of you
I don't want to talk about it
Coz I'm in love with you"
 
The rest of that song...

<<Black sheep, come home
Black sheep, come home
Black sheep, come home

Hello again, friend of a friend
I knew you when
Our common goal was waiting for the world to end
Now that the truth is just a rule that you can bend
You crack the whip
Shape-shift and trick
The past again

I'll send you my love on a wire
Lift you up every time
Everyone, ooh
Pulls away, ooh
From you oooh ooh

Got balls of steel
Got an automobile for a minimum wage
Got real estate, I'm buying it all up in outer space
Now that the truth is just a rule that you can bend
You crack the whip
Shape-shift and trick
The past again

I'll send you my love on a wire
Lift you up every time
Everyone, ooh
Pulls away, ooh

It's a mechanical bull at number one
You'll take a ride from anyone
Everyone wants a ride
Pulls away, ooh
From you ooh ooh>>

They call me superman, leap tall hoes in a single bound
I'm single now, got no ring on this finger now
I'd never let another chick bring me down, in a relationship
Save it bitch, babysit, you make me sick
Superman ain't savin' shit, girl you can jump on Shady's dick
Straight from the hip, cut to the chase, I tell a muthafuckin' slut, to her face
Play no games, say no names, ever since I broke up with what's her face
I'm a different man, kiss my ass, kiss my lips, bitch why ask
Kiss my dick, get my cash, i'd rather have you whip my ass
Don't put out, i'll put you out, won't get out, i'll push you out
Puss blew out, poppin' shit, wouldn't piss on fire to put you out
Am I too nice, buy you ice, bitch if you died, I wouldn't buy you life
What you tryin' to be my new wife, what you Mariah, fly through twice...

But I do know one thing though, bitches, they come they go
Saturday through Sunday, Monday, Monday through Sunday yo'
Maybe i'll love you one day, maybe we'll someday grow
Till then just sit your drunk ass on that fuckin' runway ho'...

Cause I can't be your Superman
Your Superman, your Superman...

<< Gummed up, brain dead and can't decide
you can't pray enough, you can't hide
You can be cool or you can cry
Do it wrong
Not it all
Or do it right

No one owes you, no one's to blame
Save for bad genes or DNA
Ask your conscience the why and how
Do it then
Do it when
But, do it now

What's up, sweet cakes?
Who's hip, anyway?
Earth girls are easy
What you gonna do lil' buckaroo?
(Hey you, you better ask her nice!)
All you gotta do, happy fool, is ask your mom

No we all can't be superfly
GQ, Phd, FBI
You can pretend or you can try
Move ahead
Lay down dead
Or slip on by

When the truth seems so far away
Buddha loves you and Jesus saves
You need answers for your dismay:
Ask yourself
Ask your mom
Ask DNA >>
 
I talk through my eyes, the words pourin' down
Nobody hears
You ask me what's wrong, but what can I say
Nobody hears

I try to tell you, I try to show you
How else can I tell you, how else can I show you

When the last tear falls down
Nothing gets washed away
Another plea put to rest
As nobody hears, nobody hears

So what did I do to you
That makes you run from me
Now I'm sitting here screaming inside myself
Don't understand why nobody hears

You figured it, shaped it to your perfection
Nobody hears
Subtracted my feelings from the equation
Nobody hears

Is it all in my mind
Then it would be easy to find

So what did I do to you
That makes you run from me
Now I'm sitting here screaming inside myself
Don't understand why nobody hears

So if it's all, if it's all in my mind
Then wouldn't it, wouldn't it
Wouldn't it be so easy to find
 
Probably the shortest lyrics I've ever stumbled upon but damn...one of my all time favorites.


Dark The Suns - Guardians

You, you were here for me
You were for me

Guardian angels
Save me from this world

Do you see these tears now?
Do you see me?

Once again I've breathed the fire
Awaking inside those feelings
That won't go!
I've sensed this before

Another weak and cruel desire
Bothering me and it won't leave me alone!
I won't pay this toll

I always felt that this could be
A good chance for me to see
If I could fit into a world
That moves

I fell so strange and so deranged
One other chance flew by
To solve my shit I only need a try
I am so stressed and so depressed
'Cause I keep hiding from
A thing that could be a new dawn

I gonna try to see if I
Can make up my mind and live this crazy show!
I will need it all
All the strength and will that I
Will gather from my trembling little soul!
I will need it all!

"Into The West"

Lay down
Your sweet and weary head
Night is falling
You’ve come to journey's end
Sleep now
And dream of the ones who came before
They are calling
From across the distant shore

Why do you weep?
What are these tears upon your face?
Soon you will see
All of your fears will pass away
Safe in my arms
You're only sleeping

[Chorus]
What can you see
On the horizon?
Why do the white gulls call?
Across the sea
A pale moon rises
The ships have come to carry you home

And all will turn
To silver glass
A light on the water
All souls pass

Hope fades
Into the world of night
Through shadows falling
Out of memory and time
Don't say:
 
  • Like
Reactions: AUM
"Quicksand Effect"

And here I am alone once more
The same as many years before
And now I see that what makes me
Is fading rapidly
And soon I'll be right back to the start
With hollow words and a heavy heart
How could any of this be?
I'm fading rapidly

I can feel it slipping away
My precious grasp on reality
My little world and all I see
Is fading rapidly
I never thought it'd end this way
You'll understand it all someday
I won't drag you down with me
I'm fading rapidly

I write these words for all to hear
But no one ever seems to care
One last step is left for me
I'm fading rapidly
There's so much that's left to say
As my voice is fading away
I once was blind but now I see
I'm fading rapidly
