Songs That Express What You Can't



Have you ever heard a song and thought that the lyrics expressed exactly how you were feeling? Well, this is the place to talk about it.

This thread is for those songs that you can't seem to get out of your head.

The songs that make you weak when hearing them because it reflects some part deep inside you that you can't put into words yourself.

The songs that make you so emotional while listening to them.

The songs that make you want to scream, cry, crush you fist into a wall, or fall in love all over again.

So, if there's a song that really affects you, whether in a positive or negative way, post them here, with the lyrics, preferrably. Then post why you chose that song.

Mine is:

Heaven Help Us
By My Chemical Romance

Hear the sound
The angels come screaming down
Your voice
I hear you've been bleeding

Make your choice
They say you've been pleading
Someone save us

Heaven help us now
Come crashing down
We'll hear the sound
As you're falling down

Help this old hotel
But can't tell if I've been breathing,
Or sleeping,
Or screaming,
Or waiting for the man to call
And maybe all of the above
Cause mostly I've been sprawled on these cathedral steps
While spitting out the blood and screaming
Someone save us

Heaven help us now
Come crashing down
We'll hear the sound
As you're falling down

And will you pray for me?
Or make a saint of me?
And will you lay for me?
And make a saint of me?

Cause I'll give you all the nails you need
Cover me in gasoline
Wipe away those tears of blood again
And the punchline to the joke is asking
Someone save us

Heaven help us now
Come crashing down
We'll hear the sound
As you fall

And would you pray for me?
(You don't know a thing about my sins)
(How the misery begins)
Or make a saint of me?
(You don't know)
(So I'm burning, I'm burning)
And will you lay for me?
(You don't know a thing about my sins)
(How the misery begins)
And make a saint of me?
(You don't know)
(Cause I'm burning, I'm burning)

Cause I'll give you all the nails you need
(I'm burning, I'm burning again)
Cover me in gasoline again



You can listen to it here, if you want.


Reason:

Other than the whole song itself, the lyrics are beautiful. It perfectly describes a place I've been in my mind for 5 months now. It makes me want to cry and scream at the same time. Of course, tears never seem to come for me... I've had it stuck in my head since I got it, which was early last week. I've been listening to it constantly also. I love the song, but it seems that everytime I listen to it, I wind up being depressed and think too much because it makes me think of things I don't want to. I've been at a lack of writing lately, especially poetry, because I can't get out of the frame of mind I'm in, but the song gives me another way to look at it. I don't know...somehow it relieves me. As upset, depressed, angry at myself, and anxious I get after listening to it, it ends in a peaceful relief. I can't explain it really. But still, I can't stop listening to it...It's addicting.

I never really got over her. I still wish she was mine. I couldn't see then what was right in front of me. I never meant to be that way. I just want her to see me again. I want her to look at me and see who she used to see and love.

Cold
Crossfade

Looking back at me I see that I never really got it right
I never stopped to think of you
I’m always wrapped up in things I cannot win
You are the antidote that gets me by
Something strong like a drug that gets me high

What I really meant to say
Is I’m sorry for the way I am
I never meant to be so cold
Never meant to be so cold

What I really meant to say
Is I’m sorry for the way I am
I never meant to be so cold
Never meant to be so

Cold to you, I’m sorry about all the lies
Maybe in a different light
You can see me stand on my own again cause now I can see
You are the antidote that got me by
Something strong like a drug that got me high

What I really meant to say
Is I’m sorry for the way I am
I never meant to be so cold
Never meant to be so cold

What I really meant to say
Is I’m sorry for the way I am
I never meant to be so cold
Never meant to be so cold

I never meant to be, so cold

I never really wanted you to see
The screwed up side of me that I keep
Locked inside of me so deep it always seems to get to me
I never really wanted you to go
So many things you should have known
I guess for me there’s just no hope
I never meant to be so cold

What I really meant to say
Is I’m sorry for the way I am
I never meant to be so cold
Never meant to be so cold

What I really meant to say
Is I’m sorry for the way I am
I never meant to be so cold
Never meant to be so cold

One of mine has no words. The song is entitled "Regret" composed by Gackt who, at the time, was part of Malice Mizer. The entire song is done by piano and it is quite a piece indeed.

Right now, the song that really describes me is called Cyanide Sun. It's by HIM and I bought the CD it's on the 19th. I love the song, but the lyrics are perfect. Exactly how I feel right now, as sad as that is.

Cyanide Sun
HIM

Should've known how hard it is to stop tearing each other apart
Separating souls entwined with all these labyrinthine lies

I am dead to you, a shadow doomed
My love, forever in the dark
And of all untruths the truest is you
Too close to my heart

This emptiness I've made my home
Embracing memories of dreams long gone
One last caress from the corpse of love is all I want
Underneath the cyanide sun

We've sailed the seas of grief on a raft built with our tears
Looking for a way to disappear for a moment from our deepest fears

I'll be drowning you in this river of gloom
Forever in my heart

You can listen to it here, if you want.

When I clicked on this thread and was reading the first post I decided to throw on some music, I put on Heaven Help Us, and then scrolled down and saw that it was your song, it was funny. It is a beautiful song, I love MCR they're awesome.

Yeah, I love them, too. And I absolutely adore Heaven Help Us. Actually, funny thing is, I went to a show in April and they performed Heaven Help Us and my friend and I were almost the only people that knew it. It truly is a beautiful song.

That's awesome!!! I saw them at projekt revolution over the summer, they put on a really good show...that's actually when I started getting into them so if they played that song there I wouldn't have known it back then.

Ohne Dich by Eisbrecher (Icebreaker). These are the English translation lyrics of the original German lyrics. This song perfectly describes how I feel about my girlfriend. Read them, think about them, then think about your loved one....you will understand. If you don't have a boyfriend or girlfriend, well read the lyrics and when you have a relationship, come back and read them again damn it, because you will truly understand these lyrics in every way if you truly are in love.....I should know.


I burn for you
I can't breath without you
You forgive because you love
I fall for you
I can no longer stand up without you
You understand because you live

What is the sun without your light
What is a picture without your face
I have cursed life
I have tried to live alone
But I can't

Without you I can't be free
Without you I can't be endlessly high
Without you I am alone
Without you I can't fly
Without you I can't endlessly love
Without you I cannot be

I awake for you
I can't feel anything without you
You liberate you forgive
I drown in you
I feel your heart beat deep in me
You understand because you live

I pray to God that this never ends
That your fire will dazzle me forever
I miss you, I count every second
Without your mercy I will go under

I really like the one above ^. And yes, I do understand them, oh so clearly. I'll have to look up the song itself somewhere now. Love the lyrics. XD

These are the English translated lyrics for Eisbrecher's song "Zeichen der Venus." Another song that just....interests me.

Ice-cold moonlight
at the end of the night
burns my desire
Feel the fire
Sense the power

Sweet sin, kiss me
Close your eyes
and miss me
Sweet sin, feed me
on your fire
and consume me

My heart is so heavy
I am so empty
I want – more from you
More – more from everything

All my senses
concentrated on you
Feel how my pulse races
How it reacts to your passion

You pretend so heavenly
I feel so empty
In the sign of the Venus
My heart is so heavy

More...

For me it would sky is over be by serj tankian Reason: serj' ability to voice political opinion and try to get people to see through wrong in the world through music continues to inspire me.That and the fact that its an overall good song is reason wh.
