"Your mind is darkening like the sky and when truth gets loose, people fall down someone gets hurt in the heat of the moment
... Cause when you take your love from me I swear its just like murder"
Just Like Murder - Maktub
"I'll use the magic word - let's just shut the fuck up, please." EV, 04/13/08
it might be cliche, but i still get chills whenever i hear this line:
"Since you've gone I been lost without a trace,
I dream at night - I can only see your face,
I look around but it's you I cant replace,
I feel so cold and I long for your embrace"
"see the drunkard of the village falling on the street,
you can't tell his ankles from the rest of his feet.
he loves the old laughing lady, 'cause the taste is so sweet.
but the laughing lady's love ain't the kind he can keep."
I know someday you'll have a beautiful life
I hope you'll be a star in somebody else's sky
But Why? Why? Why.... can't it be mine?
I'd also like to add:
"It's a motherfucker
How much I understand
The feeling that you need someone
To take you by the hand
And you won't ever be the same." ~ It's a Motherfucker by Eels
“Hello, babies. Welcome to Earth. It’s hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It’s round and wet and crowded. At the outside, babies, you’ve got about a hundred years here. There’s only one rule that I know of, babies — ‘God damn it, you’ve got to be kind.’” - Kurt Vonnegut
You're wonderful, and it's beautiful
But I'm already somebody's baby
And if I went with you
I'd disappoint you too
Well, I'm already somebody's baby
Already somebody's baby
The car's on fire and there's no driver at the wheel
And the sewers are all muddied with a thousand lonely suicides
Lord, I miss that girl
On the day we met the sun was shining down
Down on the valley
Riddled with horses running
Crushing them with flowers
I would have picked for her
On the day she was born
She runs through my veins like a long black river
And rattles my cage like a thunderstorm
Oh my soul
What does it mean?
What does it mean?
What does it mean to be so sad?
When someone you love
Someone you love is supposed to make you happy
What do you do
How do you keep love alive?
When it won't
What, what are the words
They use when they know it's over
"We need to talk," or
"I'm confused, maybe later you can come over"
I would've held your mother's hand
On the day you was born
She runs through my veins
Like a long black river and rattles my cage
Like a thunderstorm
Oh, my soul
What does it mean?
What does it mean?
What does it mean to be so sad?
When someone you love
Someone you love is supposed to make you happy
What do you do
How do you keep love alive?
When it won't
How do you keep love alive?
'The more I studied religions the more I am convinced that man never worshipped anything but himself.' - Sir Richard Francis Burton
If I should be short on words
And long on things to say
Could you crawl into my world
And take me worlds away
Should I be beside myself
And not even stay
How can I convince you it's me I don't like
And not be so indifferent to the look in your eyes
When I've always been distant
And I've always told lies for love
I'm bound by these choices so hard to make
I'm bound by the feeling so easy to fake
None of this is real
Enough to take me from you
Oh I've got reservations
About so many things
But not about you
I know this isn't what you were wanting me to say
How can I get closer and be further away
When the truth
Proves it's beautiful to lie
Oh I've got reservations
About so many things
But not about you
I've got reservations
About so many things
But not about you
Not about you
Not about you
Not about you
It's not about you
It took quite a few listens before I could listen to this song without crying.
Please mother mercy, take me from this place
And the long winded curses, i keep hearing in my head
Words never listen and teachers never learn
Now i'm warm from the candle but i feel too cold to burn
He came from an island but he died from the street
He hurt so bad like a soul breaking but he never said nothing to me
Say hello to heaven
New like a baby, lost like a prayer
The sky was your playground but the cold ground was your bed
Poor stargazer, she's got no tears in her eyes
Smooth like a whisper, she knows love heals all wounds with time
Now seems like to much love, is never enough
You better seek out another road, 'cause this one has ended abrupt
Say hello to heaven
I never wanted to write these words down for you
With the pages of phrases, of things we'll never do
So i blow out the candle, and i put you to bed
Since you cant say to me now, how the dogs broke your bone
Theres just one thing left to be said
"And I won't forget time spent laying by her side
And a dream like this must die..."
Chloe Dancer.
There was a long time when Chloe Dancer/Crown of Thorns was my favourite song ever and every single line made me choke up. This was one of them.
Some of the other amazing ones are:
"I want to tell you that I love you
But does it really matter
I just can't stand to see you dragging down"
and of course,
"This is my kind of love
It's the kind that moves on
It's the kind that leaves me alone"
"I remember one night at Muzdalifa with nothing but the sky overhead, I lay awake amid sleeping Muslim brothers and I learned that pilgrims from every land — every colour, and class, and rank; high officials and the beggar alike — all snored in the same language"
...
So I'll just lie alone and wait for a dream
Where I'm not ugly and you're looking at me
And I'll stay in bed
All blue, I've seen hell
If just once I could feel love
Oh, stare back at me....
and this: Bell X1 - In Every Sunflower (an ode to a dead friend)
"My book has more bookmarks than pages
'Cos it take me ages
Or is everybody reading
Is everybody reading
Of a sparkling Medusa
With snakes of cerise and blue
And though we're all pillars of salt now
it was worth is for the view
I wouldn't swap the pain
For never knowing you
I wouldn't swap the pain
'Cos it was worth it for the view
We're still watching
Your rainbow through the shower
And we still see you
In every sunflower
We're still watching
I make days from the hours
And I still see you
In every sunflower
Every screaming sunflower
"(So much blood from such a tiny little hole), Problems have solutions
a lifetime of fucking things up fixed in one determined flash"
The lyric, coupled with the scream and the music, is to me, the most heartbreaking song ever. (NIN) The way he used the music to create an embodiment of absolute despair is pure art. (And heartbreaking)

Well, the bells out in the church tower chime
Burning clues into this heart of mine
Thinking so hard on her soft eyes and the memories
Offer signs that it's over... it's over
"Ah, life is a gate, a way, a path to Paradise anyway, why not live for fun and joy and love or some sort of girl by a fireside, why not go to your desire and LAUGH..."
Well, all those people, they think they got it made
But I wouldn't buy, sell, borrow or trade
Anything I have to be like one of them.
I'd rather start all over again.

On paper it looks happy, but listen to the song and you'll get it.

jeff buckley.
take a good look
this could be the day
hold my hand
lie beside me
i just need to say
Haha, I was thinking Buckley as well. But mine would have to be
And love is not a victory march
It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah
you can't tell his ankles from the rest of his feet.
he loves the old laughing lady, 'cause the taste is so sweet.
but the laughing lady's love ain't the kind he can keep."
