What are some song lyrics that speak to you? A lot of people say that it's lyrics that arn't important in songs, but sometimes I think that they can make or break the song.
Not always the sung lyrics, but the meaning of them wink
I have a ton, and I'm pretty sure you people do too, so don't be afraid to make things.
Here's just one of mine.
Cee-Lo - Gettin' Grown
Hey
Little boy you're not allowed to stay
You have to evolve inevitably
And I've sure come a long way
The road up ahead is so unclear
Back slidin down a bottle of beer
Nobody knew if I would make it here
Sweet music set me free
From the statistic that I started to be
I wish my mama was alive to see
The memories of pain have scarred
And when I fall it's usually hard
But I get up and keep followin' God
Hey, I'm Gettin' grown, (la la la la la, la la la la la) I'm gettin grown
I'm Gettin grown (la la la la la, la la la la la) I'm gettin grown, hey
Now I remember the good ol' days
Broads and boxes and blunts to blaze
Now I got three children to raise
I never won't be perfect I know
But workin on it is worse than I know
Life is just learning as you go
Been selfish once or twice
I had to learn how to sacrifice
To live to my late nineties be nice
Every day that goes by I find
It either hits me or it robs me blind
God I owe you this life of mine
I'm gettin grown (la la la la la, la la la la la) I'm gettin grown,
I'm gettin grown (la la la la la, la la la la la) I'm gettin grown
(whistling)
Oooo, time changed but it feels the same,
There's no tellin what tommorow will bring,
Even if I could I wouldn't change a thang
Hey, Lord I know I'm not here to stay
But thanks for wakin' me up today
Prepare me for what may come my way
Say, young man, there's no need to cry
Because I know you will get by
Look your destiny in the eye
Everyday my heart burns to try
You got to walk before you learn to fly
And we all got to earn to die
I'm gettin' grown (la la la la la, la la la la la) I'm gettin' grown
I'm gettin' grown (la la la la la, la la la la la) I'm gettin' grown
I'm gettin' grown (la la la la la, la la la la la) I'm gettin' grown
I'm gettin' grown (la la la la la, la la la la la) I'm gettin' grown
I'm gettin' grown (la la la la la, la la la la la) I'm gettin' grown

As I metioned in the trance/vocal trance thread, "Red Sun Rising" by Lost Witness is one of my favortie songs. The lyrics make me think of walking on a beach and just being lost in nature. (hippy moment) That combined with the music makes this one of those songs that makes me just close my eyes and imagine, even when I can't dance to it.
Until forever fades away
....fades away
....fades away
....fades away
red sea, red sky, red sun rising,
wait for white, on white sand,
blue sea, blue sky, high white sun,
white but high, in the blue sky
haaayaa, hayaaa, nayaha, nahyaha, ayaahaa ayaahaa, ayahaaa
Until forever ....
Until forever ....
Until forever fades away
haaayaa, hayaaa, nyaha, nahyaha, ayaahaa ayaahaa, ayhaaa
haaayaa, hayaaa, nyaha, nahyaha, ayaahaa ayaahaa, ayhaaa
red sea red sky, red sun rising,
wait for white, on white sand,
blue sea blue sky, high white sun,
white but high, in the blue sky
red sea red sky, red sun rising,
wait for white, on white sand,
blue sea blue sky, high white sun,
white but high, in the blue sky
haaayaa, hayaaa, nyaha, nahyaha, ayaahaa ayaahaa, ayhaaa
Until forever fades away
...fades away
Until forever fades away
....fades away
Until forever fades away

To be lost in the forest
To be cut adrift
You've been trying to reach me
You bought me a book
To be lost in the forest
To be cut adrift
I've been paid
I've been paid
Don't get offended
If I seem absent minded
Just keep telling me facts
And keep making me smile
Don't get offended
If I seem absent minded
I get tongue-tied
Baby, you've got to be more discerning
I've known never known what's good for me
I will be yours
I'll pay for you anytime
You told me you wanted to eat up my sadness
Well jump on, enjoy, you can gorge away
You told me you wanted to eat up my sadness
Jump right on
Baby, you've got to be more discerning
I've known never known what's good for me
Baby, you've got to be more demanding
I will be yours
What are you holding out for?
What's always in the way?
Why so damn absent-minded?
Why so scared of romance?
This modern love breaks me
This modern love wastes me
Do you wanna come over and kill some time?
Tell me facts, tell me facts, tell me facts
Tell me facts
Throw your arms around me
This Modern Love- Bloc Party
Just been listening to alot of them lately, and this song espeically seems to resonate with me.

"Punk Is Dead"
Yes that's right, punk is dead,
It's just another cheap product for the consumers head.
Bubblegum rock on plastic transistors,
Schoolboy sedition backed by big time promoters.
CBS promote the Clash,
But it ain't for revolution, it's just for cash.
Punk became a fashion just like hippy used to be
And it ain't got a thing to do with you or me.
Movements are systems and systems kill.
Movements are expressions of the public will.
Punk became a movement cos we all felt lost,
But the leaders sold out and now we all pay the cost.
Punk narcissism was social napalm,
Steve Jones started doing real harm.
Preaching revolution, anarchy and change
As he sucked from the system that had given him his name.
Well I'm tired of staring through s**t stained glass,
Tired of staring up a superstars arse,
I've got an arse and crap and a name,
I'm just waiting for my fifteen minutes fame.
Steve Jones you're napalm,
If you're so pretty (vacant) why do you swarm?
Patti Smith you're napalm,
You write with your hand but it's Rimbaud's arm.
And me, yes I, do I want to burn?
Is there something I can learn?
Do I need a business man to promote my angle?
Can I resist the carrots that fame and fortune dangle?
I see the velvet zippies in their bondage gear,
The social elite with safety-pins in their ear,
I watch and understand that it don't mean a thing,
The scorpions might attack, but the systems stole the sting.
PUNK IS DEAD. PUNK IS DEAD. PUNK IS DEAD.
PUNK IS DEAD. PUNK IS DEAD. PUNK IS DEAD.
PUNK IS DEAD. PUNK IS DEAD. PUNK IS DEAD.

Organ Donors - What's Up? (the Dougal and Gammer remix is the best version, dont take any other one)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Twenty five years and my life is still
Trying to get up that great big hill of hope
For a destination
I realized quickly when i knew i should
That this hope was made up of this brotherhood of man.....
For whatever that means......
And so I wake in the morning and I step outside
And I take a deep breath
And I get real high
And I scream at the top of my lungs
Whats going on?
And I say
Hey-yay-yay-yay
Hey-yay-yey
Whats going on
And I say
Hey-yay-yay-yay
Hey-yay-yey
Whats going on
*cue storming synth-line*

Benny Benassi - Satisfaction
"Hurt me...and then just push me...till I can get my...satisfaction, satifaction, satifaction, satifaction, satifaction...." lol
Not really. I'd have to say:
Oceanlab - Satellite (Above & Beyond Mix)
"My love is like footsteps in the soul - baby
I follow you everywhere you go - baby
The pain as light has come to wake you
But you will never realize
That I inspire the dreams that guide you baby
I follow the winds that bring the cold - baby
I light a fire in your soul - baby
The lightest touch of feathers falling
My love may be invisible
But I inspire the dreams that guide you - baby...
...You're a half a world away
But in my mind I whisper every single word you say
And before you sleep at night...
You pray to me, your lucky star, your singing satellite
Your singing satellite
You say a prayer
You say a prayer
You're a half a world away
But in my mind I whisper every single word you say.
And before you sleep at night...
You pray to me, your lucky star, your singing satellite
I follow the winds that bring the cold - baby
I light a fire in your soul - baby
The lightest touch of feathers falling
My love may be invisible
But I inspire the dreams that guide you - baby
You're a half a world away...
But in my mind I whisper every single word you say...
And before you sleep at night...
You pray to me, your lucky star, your singing satellite"
This song is a great song! I think everyone should hear it. No matter if you don't like Trance or not.

Pink Floyd - comfortably numb
Hello,
Is there anybody in there
Just nod if you can hear me
Is there anyone at home
Come on now
I hear you're feeling down
I can ease your pain
And get you on your feet again
Relax
I'll need some information first
Just the basic facts
Can you show me where it hurts
There is no pain, you are receding
A distant ship smoke on the horizon
You are coming through in waves
Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying
When I was a child I had a fever
My hands felt just like two balloons
Now I've got that feeling once again
I can't explain, you would not understand
This is not how I am
I have become comfortably numb
Okay
Just a little pin p***k
There'll be no more aaaaaaaah!
But you may feel a little sick
Can you stand up?
I do believe it's working, good
That'll keep you going through the show
Come on it's time to go.
There is no pain you are receding
A distant ship smoke on the horizon
You are only coming through in waves
Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying
When I was a child
I caught a fleeting glimpse
Out of the corner of my eye
I turned to look but it was gone
I cannot put my finger on it now
The child is grown
The dream is gone
And I have become
Comfortably numb.

Breathe (2a.m.) - Anna Nalick
2 AM and she calls me 'cause I'm still awake,
can you help me unravel my latest mistake,
I don't love him, winter just wasn't my season
Yeah we walk through the doors, so accusing their eyes
Like they have any right at all to critisize,
hypocrites, you're all here for the very same reason
'Cause you can't jump the track, we're like cars on a cable
and life's like an hourglass, glued to the table
No one can find the rewind button girl,
So cradle your head in you hands
And breathe, just breathe,Woah breathe, just breathe
May he turn 21 on the base at Fort Bliss
Just today he sat down to the flask in his fist,
Ain't been sober, since maybe October of last year.
Here in town you can tell he's been down for a while,
But my God it's so beautiful when the boy smiles,
Wanna hold him, maybe I'll just sing about it.
Cause you can't jump the track, we're like cars on a cable,
And life's like an hourglass, glued to the table.
No one can find the rewind button boys,
So cradle your head in your hands,
And breathe, just breathe,Woah breathe, just breathe
There's a light at each end of this tunnel, you shout
But you're just as far in as you'll ever be out
These mistakes you've made, you'll just make them again
If you only try turning around.
2 AM and I'm still awake, writing a song
If I get it all down on paper, its no longerinside of me,
threatening the life they belong to
And i feel like I'm naked in front of the crowd
Cause these words are my diary, screaming out loud
And I know that you'll use them, however you want to
Cause you can't jump the track, we're like cars on a cable,
And life's like an hourglass, glued to the table
No one can find the rewind button now
Sing it if you understand.
and breathe, just breathewoah breathe, just breathe,oh breathe, just breathe.

The Streets - "Stay Positive"
Cos this world swallows souls
And when the blues unfold
It gets cold silence burns holes
You're going mad
Perhaps you always were
But when things was good you just didn't care
This is called irony
When you most need to get up you got no energy
Time and time s**t'll happen
The dark s**t's unwrapping
But no-one's listening your mates are laughing
Your brethren's ******** and then you start hating
Your stomach starts churning and you mind starts turning.
So smoke another draw
It won't matter no more but the next day still feels sore
Rain taps on your window
Always did tho but you didn't hear it when things were so-so
You're on your own now
Your little zone you were born alone and believe me you'll die alone
Weed becomes a chore
You want the buzz back so you follow the others onto smack
Just trying to stay positive
Just trying to stay positive
Just trying to stay positive
Just trying to stay positive
Feels nice and still
Good thing about brown is it always will
It's easy, no-one blames you
It's that world out there that's ******** you
You know less of a person and if God exists
He still loves you
Just remember that - the more you sink the further back from that brink
Maybe you've lifetime scars and you think tattoos might be more fitting
But who's picking?
Searching for yourself you find demons
Try and be a freeman and grasp that talisman
Cos your the same as I am
We all need our fellow man
We all need our samaritan.
Maybe I'm better looking than you tho
Maybe I've got more dough - but am I happier... no.
Get the love of a good girl and your world will be much richer than my world
And your happyness will uncurl
Just trying to stay positive
Just trying to stay positive
Just trying to stay positive
Just trying to stay positive
Stop dreaming
People who say that are blaspheming
They're doing nine to five and moaning
And they don't want you succeeding when theyve blown it
And you idols - who are they?
They too dreamt about their day
Positive steps will see your goals.
Whether it's dollars or control, feel the gold.
I aint helping you climb the ladder
I'm busy climbing mine.
That's how it's been since the dawn of time
If you reach a cul-de-sac
The world turns it's back
This is you zone, it's like blackjack
He might get the ace or the top one
So organise your two's and three's into a run then you'll have ******** him son
And for that you'll be the better one
One last thing before you go though
When you feel better tommorow you'll be a hero
But never forget today. you could be back here
Things can stray
What if you see me in that window?
You won't help me I know.
That's cool, just keep walking where you go.
Carry on through the estate, stare at the geezers so they know you aint lightweight
And go see your mates
And when they don't look happy
Play them this tape
Just trying to stay positive
Just trying to stay positive
Just trying to stay positive
Just trying to stay positive
I hope you understand me
Just trying to stay positive
I aint no preaching ******** and I aint no do-goody-goody either
This is about when s**t goes pear-shaped
And if you aren't or ever have been at rock bottom then good luck to you in the big wide world
But remember that one day s**t might just start crumbling
Your bird might ******** off or you might loose your job
It's when that happens that what I'm talking about will feel much more important to you
So if you aint feeling it, just be thankfull that everythings cool in your world
Respect to BC
Positivity
Positivity
Just trying to stay positive
Just trying to stay positive
Just trying to stay positive
Just trying to stay positive
The Mighty Mighty Bosstones - "A Jackknife To A Swan"
Shortly after Evelyn was doused with gasoline
And just a few miles off the avenue
A lighter flashed into a puff of smoke
For thirty years Walter worked right there
Five days out of every week
That's where he watched his hometown fade
The last came fast and furious
Just step in one direction
Stutter step for one split second
Faster through the intersection
A jackknife to a swan and he was gone
When Walter's shift was over
He'd head out to catch the red line home
Two stops away his family slept
He'd be there when they got out of bed
Destination subway station
Someone yelled so he looked back
Five guys were heading his way
He ran to catch that last train home
Just step in one direction
Stutter step for one split second
Faster through the intersection
A jackknife to a swan and he was gone
Oh Walter ran and did they kill Evelyn?
He had his token in his hand
But he jumped over the turnstile
And he ran down the platform
They were hot on his heels
An outbound was bearing down on him
Walter jumped in front of it
( Just step in one direction
Stutter step for one split second
Faster through the intersection
A jackknife to a swan and he was gone [x2] )

"Delays- No Ending"
I've
Seen you hanging from blistering skies
Holding yourself with a grace that defies
Law after
Law as well spit in the eye
Fall on me when you come down
You've seen me panic
And
Kick without sight
Of any danger except what I might
Know of myself and
See in you
Tonight
Fall on me when you come down
The air is thin and hard to breath,
With
Sweetness that you lost to me
Despite this noose around our kiss,
I try to tell myself
This is
No ending
Seeing you buzzing from flickering signs
Bringing on warnings of
Incoming fire
Blood on your hands
From the tongue of a liar
Fall on me when you come
Down
The air is thin and hard to breath,
With sweetness that you lost to me
Despite
This noose around our kiss,
I try to tell myself this is
No ending
No ending
Leaving
Alone and
I see you're still breathing
Head out of sight
But the neon's
Deceiving,
There is no danger of you
Getting anywhere here
I know I'm prone to rushing
In with
No pretence of listening
Despite this noose around our kiss,
I try to tell myself
This is
No ending. No ending
Fall on me when you come down
*I really really love this band!
