Aktrez Posted July 11, 2004 Share Posted July 11, 2004 Recently, with my current situation, I have come accross many song lyrics that just seem like they are "telling my story". Here is the one that fits my situation the most... From the Musical Dreamgirls What are your song lyrics!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EatZ Posted July 11, 2004 Share Posted July 11, 2004 I totally agree. It's funny... It wasn't until I fell in love that songs started to have more meaning. I can't get away from listening to the lyrics of every song on the radio now. I seem to find a way of relating to ALL them. It's like a curse! How do songwritters know so much!?

abcd1234 Posted July 11, 2004 Share Posted July 11, 2004 I can totally understand the following song at the moment. EatZ is correct, songwriters seem to know a lot, this is probably because the songs mean a lot to them as well. Red Hot Chili Peppers - My Friends My friends are so depressed I feel the question Of your loneliness Confide..., 'cause I'll be on your side You know I will, you know I will Ex Girlfriend called me up Alone and desperate On the prison phone They want... to give her 7 years For being sad [Chorus I love all of you Hurt by the cold So hard and lonely too When you don't know yourself My friends are so distressed And standing on The brink of emptiness No words... I know of to express This emptiness [Chorus] Imagine me taught by tragedy Release is peace I heard a little girl And what she said Was something beautiful To give... your love No matter what [Chorus] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deebee Posted July 11, 2004 Share Posted July 11, 2004 When I fell in love with my ex it seemed like all the songs on the radio were about being in love. Even the cheesy ones got to me, like the link removed . Now I can't move for hearing break up songs But there is one song that has had a huge impact on me after we split. The song is 'Dry your eyes' by link removed. It was like someone had read my mind and put it in a song a surreal sensation. It almost perfectly describes the time my girlfriend broke up with me. For weeks, hearing it sent a shiver down my spine and made me stop whatever I was doing. It was reassuring to know that other men had gone through the same thing though. This song, more than anything else, helped me realise that, no matter how painful, I had to accept the situation and move on, even though it would hurt... The artist is Mike Skinner, a young guy who seems to have a knack of putting real life experiences in to song in a direct and original way. Some of the media in the UK tout him as a 'modern day Shakespeare', but he deserves all the plaudits for this song.

John1 Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 jeez guys , i thought it was only me who felt like that when these songs would be on mtv.. the one especially that gets me is .. Dido - White Flag I know you think that I shouldn't still love you I'll tell you that But if I didn't say it Well, I'd still have felt it Where's the sense in that? I promise I'm not trying to make your life harder Or return to where we were Well I will go down with this ship And I won't put my hands up and surrender There will be no white flag above my door I'm in love and always will be I know I left too much mess And destruction to come back again And I caused but nothing but trouble I understand if you can't talk to me again And if you live by the rules of "It's over" Then I'm sure that that makes sense Well I will go down with this ship And I won't put my hands up and surrender There will be no white flag above my door I'm in love and always will be And when we meet As I'm sure we will All that was then Will be there still I'll let it pass And hold my tongue And you will think That I've moved on Well I will go down with this ship And I won't put my hands up and surrender There will be no white flag above my door I'm in love and always will be Well I will go down with this ship And I won't put my hands up and surrender There will be no white flag above my door I'm in love and always will be I will go down with this ship And I won't put my hands up and surrender There will be no white flag above my door I'm in love and always will be That song puts me in pieces..

Spellbound Posted July 13, 2004 Share Posted July 13, 2004 I thought it was amazing too how suddenly all the songs meant more than just a nice voice and good beat. Before I ever felt anything I said "Why is it that all anyone can sing about is love?" Well, now it makes sense. There are a couple songs I like, but I think this one is the one which makes me feel the most. Perhaps not the conviction that the other person will realize that we're meant to be.. but the rest of it nearly makes me cry. Jewel- You Were Meant For Me I hear the clock, it's six a.m. I feel so far away from where I've been I got my eggs, and got my pancakes too Got my maple syrup, everything but you I break the yolks and make a smiley face I kinda like it in my brand new place I wipe the spots off of the mirror, don't leave the keys in the door I never put wet towels on the floor anymore 'cause Dreams last for so long, even after you're gone I know, that you love me and soon you will see You were meant for me and I was meant for you I called my momma, she was out for a walk Consoled a cup of coffee but it didn't wanna talk So I Picked up thepaper, it was more bad news More hearts being broken, people being used Put on my coat in the pouring rain I saw a movie it just wasn't the same 'cause it was happy, and I was sad and It made me miss you oh so bad cause Dreams last for so long, even after you're gone I know, you love me and soon you will see You were meant for me and I was meant for you I go about my business, I'm doing fine Besides, what would I say if I had you on the line Same old story, not much to say Hearts are broken every day I brush my teeth and put the cap back on I know you hate it when I leave the light on I pick up a book and Turn the sheets down and Take a deep breath and a good look around Put on my pj's and hop into bed I'm half alive but I feel mostly dead I, I try and tell myself it'll be all right I just shouldn't think anymore tonight 'cause Dreams last so long, even after you're gone I know, that you love me and soon you will see You were meant for me and I was meant for you Yeah, you were meant for me and I was meant for you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beattie Posted August 24, 2004 Share Posted August 24, 2004 CHIQUITITTA - By ABBA! Verse 1 Chiquititta tell me what's wrong. You're enchained by you're own sorrow. In your eyes, there is no hope for tomorrow. How I hate to see you like this. There is no way you can deny it. I can see that you're oh so sad, so quiet. Verse 2 Chiquititta tell me the truth. I'm a shoulder you can cry on. You're best friend, I'm the one you must rely on. You were always sure of yourself. Now I see you've broken a feather. I hope we can patch it up together. Chorus Chiquititta you and I know, How the heartaches come and they go And the scars they're leaving. You'll be dancing once again, And the pain will end, You will have no time for grieving. Chiquititta you and I cry, But the sun is still in the sky, And shining above you. Let me hear you singing once more, Like you did before, Sing a new song Chiquititta. Verse 3 So the walls came tumbling down. And you're loves a blown out candle. All is gone, and it seems to hard to handle. Chiquititta tell me the truth. There is no way you can deny it. I can see, that you're oh so sad, so quiet. Chorus Chiquititta you and I know, How the heartaches come and they go And the scars they're leaving. You'll be dancing once again, And the pain will end, You will have no time for grieving. Chiquititta you and I cry, But the sun is still in the sky, And shining above you. Let me hear you singing once more, Like you did before, Sing a new song Chiquititta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDoctor Posted August 24, 2004 Share Posted August 24, 2004 For me its breaking the habit by linkin park. Because, it was a band I really enjoyed listening to with her and the times I had with her but now its so symbolic. The lyrics for me mean word 4 word what Im going through. Just stopping the compulsive thinking of her and how she feels. and just trying to break the habit of missing the memories and picking myself apart. Does anyone else feel like this? Here are the lyrics: LINKIN PARK LYRICS "Breaking The Habit" Memories consume Like opening the wound I'm picking me apart again You all assume I'm safe here in my room Unless I try to start again [bridge I don't want to be the one The battles always choose 'Cause inside I realize That I'm the one confused [Chorus I don't know what's worth fighting for Or why I have to scream I don't know why I instigate And say what I don't mean I don't know how I got this way I know it's not alright So I'm breaking the habit I'm breaking the habit Tonight Clutching my cure I tightly lock the door I try to catch my breath again I hurt much more Than anytime before I had no options left again [bridge I dont want to be the one The battles always choose 'Cause inside I realize That I'm the one confused [Chorus I don't know what's worth fighting for Or why I have to scream I don't know why I instigate And say what I don't mean I don't know how I got this way I'll never be alright So, I'm breaking the habit I'm breaking the habit Tonight [bridge I'll paint it on the walls 'Cause I'm the one at fault I'll never fight again And this is how it ends [Chorus I don't know what's worth fighting for Or why I have to scream But now I have some clarity to show you what I mean I don't know how I got this way I'll never be alright So, I'm breaking the habit I'm breaking the habit I'm breaking the habit Tonight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diana084 Posted August 24, 2004 Share Posted August 24, 2004 This is the song from Alanis that I sing to my bf.It says exactly how I feel about him or how I felt at the beginning of the relationship. I had no choice but to hear you You stated your case time and again I thought about it You treat me like I'm a princess I'm not used to liking that You ask how my day was You've already won me over in spite of me And don't be alarmed if I fall head over feet Don't be surprised if I love you for all that you are I couldn't help it It's all your fault Your love is thick and it swallowed me whole You're so much braver than I gave you credit for That's not lip service You've already won me over in spite of me And don't be alarmed if I fall head over feet Don't be surprised if I love you for all that you are I couldn't help it It's all your fault You are the bearer of unconditional things You held your breath and the door for me Thanks for your patience You're the best listener that I've ever met You're my best friend Best friend with benefits What took me so long I've never felt this healthy before I've never wanted something rational I am aware now I am aware now You've already won me over in spite of me And don't be alarmed if I fall head over feet Don't be surprised if I love you for all that you are I couldn't help it It's all your fault Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAdreamer Posted August 24, 2004 Share Posted August 24, 2004 My song is "Have You Ever Really Loved a Woman" by Bryan Adams. It was the very first song that he ever sang to me... The line that always gets to me is "and when you can see your unborn children in her eyes you know you really love a woman". Until I met him I never wanted kids. Now I can't wait. HAVE YOU EVER REALLY LOVED A WOMAN-- To really love a woman To understand her - you gotta know her deep inside Hear every thought - see every dream N' give her wings - when she wants to fly Then when you find yourself lyin' helpless in her arms Ya know ya really love a woman When you love a woman you tell her That she's really wanted When you love a woman you tell her that she's the one Cuz she needs somebody to tell her That it's gonna last forever So tell me have you ever really - really really ever loved a woman? To really love a woman Let her hold you - Til ya know how she needs to be touched You've gotta breathe her - really taste her Til you can feel her in your blood N' when you can see your unborn children in her eyes Ya know ya really love a woman When you love a woman You tell her that she's really wanted When you love a woman you tell her that she's the one Cuz she needs somebody to tell her That you'll always be together So tell me have you ever really - Really really ever loved a woman? You got to give her some faith - hold her tight A little tenderness - gotta treat her right She will be there for you, takin' good care of you Ya really gotta love your woman... Then when you find yourself lyin' helpless in her arms Ya know ya really love a woman When you love a woman you tell her That she's really wanted When you love a woman you tell her that she's the one Cuz she needs somebody to tell her That it's gonna last forever So tell me have you ever really - really really ever loved a woman? Just tell me have you ever really, Really, really, ever loved a woman? Just tell me have you ever really, Really, really, ever loved a woman?

ComputerGuy Posted August 24, 2004 Share Posted August 24, 2004 OMG PA, I LOVE THAT SONG The song that tell's my story is "You'll Be In My Heart" by Phill Collins. It's the song out of Tarzan, at the end of it. When I listen to the words of it it is as if it was written for me and my baby. It is exactly the way we feel about each other and our situation of being apart on other sides of the planet. Come stop your crying, it will be all right Just take my hand, hold it tight I will protect you from all around you I will be here don't you cry For one so small,you seem so strong My arms will hold you keep you safe and warm This bond between us can't be broken I will be here don't you cry And you'll be in my heart Yes, you'll be in my heart From this day on Now and forever more You'll be in my heart No matter what they say You'll be here in my heart Always Why can't they understand the way we feel They just don't trust what they can't explain I know we're different but deep inside us We're not that different at all And you'll be in my heart Yes, you'll be in my heart From this day on Now and forever more You'll be in my heart No matter what they say You'll be here in my heart Always Don't listen to them, cause what do they know We need each other, to have and to hold They'll see in time, I know When destiny calls you, you must be strong I may not be with you, but you gotta hold on They'll see in time, I know We'll show them together cuz... You'll be in my heart I believe, you'll be in my heart I'll be there from this day on Now and forever more You'll be in my heart No matter what they say You'll be here in my heart always Always... I'll be with you I'll be there for you always Always and always Just look over your shoulder Just look over your shoulder Just look over your shoulder I'll be there always Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
