| Psychopath Registered: Jul. 01  | Virgingrrl....an ani difranco fan :) She's great, isn't she? This song is so me....literally: I am not the person who is singing I am the silent one inside I am not the one who laughs at people's jokes I just pacify their egos I am not my house or my car or my songs They are only just stops along my way I am like the winter I'm a dark cold female With a golden ring of wisdom in my cave And it is me who is my enemy Me who beats me up Me who makes the monsters Me who strips my confidence I am carrying my voice I am carrying my heart I am carrying my rhythmn I am carrying my prayers But you can't kill my spirit It's soaring and it's strong Like a mountain I go on and on But when my wings are folded The brightly colored moth Blends into the dirt into the ground And it's me who's too weak And it's me who's too shy To ask for the thing I love And it's me who's too weak And it's me who's too shy To ask for the thing I love That I love.... I am walking on the bridge I am over the water And I'm scared as hell But I know there's something better Yes I know there's something Yes I know, I know, yes I know That I love... But it's me And it's me But it's me  thanks for the find wpp :) I'm going crazy, a little every day, and everything I wanted is now driving me away, I woke this morning to the sound of beating hearts, mine is full of questions and it's tearing yours apart... | ||||

| Psychopath Registered: May. 01 | quote: Once upon a time ago in a land far far away, this song was that song. Home Ain't Where His Heart Is He knew how to reach me deep inside And he found a part of me I could not hide And we'd walk and talk and touch tenderly Then he'd lay me down and make love to me We built a love so strong it couldn't break There was not a road we were afraid to take And we'd kiss all the way from Arkansas to Rome 'Cause in each other's arms we were home sweet home But he don't feel the same Since our lives became Years of bills, babies and chains Home ain't where his heart is anymore He may hang his hat behind our bedroom door But he don't lay his head down to love me like before Home ain't where his heart is anymore If foundations made of stone can turn to dust Then the hardest hearts of steel can turn to rust If he could only find that feeling once again If we could only change the way the story ends And he may still come home But I live here alone The love that built these walls is gone Home ain't where his heart is anymore He may hang his hat behind our bedroom door But he don't lay his head down to love me like before He don't lay his head down tolove me like before Home ain't where his heart is anymore No, home ain't is where his heart is

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Dec. 00 | Nice, Mr. Q I have too many to even list here, and since it's already be posted elsewhere, Change by Blind Melon (that whole album really) is definitely one of those songs (can you believe that was the first song Hoon ever wrote!)but here's a start: I pick up my smile put it in my pocket Hold it for a while try not to have to drop it Men are not to cry so how am I to stop it Keep it all inside don't show how much she rocked ya Ooh can you feel the same Ooh you gotta love the pain Ooh it looks like rain again Ooh I feel it comin' in The mountains win again The mountains win again Dreams we dreamed at night were never meant to come to life I can't understand the ease she pulled away her hand This time in my life I was hurt enough to care I guess from now on I'll be careful what I share Ooh can you feel the same Ooh ya gotta love the pain Ooh it looks like rain again Yeah feel it comin' in The mountains win again A pocket is no place for a smile anyway Someday I will find love again will blow my mind Maybe it will be that love that got away from me Is there a line to write that could make you cry tonight Can you feel the same Yeah ya gotta love the pain Ooh it looks like rain again Ooh feel it comin' in The mountains win again Ooh the mountains win again ================================================= Hey, I ain't never coming Home Hey, I'll just wander my Own road Hey, I can't meet you here tomorrow Say goodbye don't follow Misery so hollow Hey you, you're livin' Life full throttle Hey you, pass me down that Bottle, yeah Hey you, you can't shake Me round now I get so lost and don't Know how And it hurts to care, I'm Going down Forgot my woman, lost my Friends Thinks I'd done and where I've been Sleep in sweat the mirrors Cold See my face it's growin' Old Scared to death no reason Why Do whatever to get me by Think about the things I Said Read the page it's cold And dead Take me home  Withdrawn and introverted, Infectiously perverted Being laughed at and confused Keeps us pleasantly amused...enough to stay | ||||

| Psychopath Registered: Aug. 00 | Feelin' Alright Seems I've got to have a change of scene 'Cause every night I have the strangest dreams Imprisoned by the way it could have been Left here on my own or so it seems I've got to leave before I start to scream But someone's locked the door and took the key You feelin' alright? I'm not feelin' too good myself Well, you feelin' alright? I'm not feelin' too good myself Well, say, you sure took me for one big ride And even now I sit and wonder why That when I think of you I start to cry I just can't waste my time, I must keep dry Gotta stop believin' in all your lies 'Cause there's too much to do before I die You feelin' alright? I'm not feelin' too good myself Well, you feelin' alright? I'm not feelin' too good myself Don't get too lost in all I say Though at the time I really felt that way But that was then, now it's today; I can't get off so I'm here to stay Till someone comes along and takes my place With a different name and, yes, a different face You feelin' alright? I'm not feelin' too good myself Well, you feelin' alright? I'm not feelin' too good myself -------------------------------------------------- I can't complain but sometimes I still do. Life's been good to me so far . . . | ||||

| O&A Board Veteran Registered: Jan. 01 | Yes, but I could fill up 20 pages here of them. Music is one of the most important things in my life. Second only to family I think. So if there's so much music out there, and it all means so much to me, how could you expect me to pick just one? How about.... This song is about a heroin user. When this album came out, I was having a VERY tough time in my life. Lots of drugs, down on my luck. I had someone that cared alot about me but I was blind to that fact, and I drove her away because of it. hurt i hurt myself today to see if i still feel i focus on the pain the only thing that's real the needle tears a hole the old familiar sting try to kill it all away but i remember everything what have i become? my sweetest friend everyone i know goes away in the end you could have it all my empire of dirt i will let you down i will make you hurt i wear my crown of shit on my liar's chair full of broken thoughts i cannot repair beneath the stain of time the feeling disappears you are someone else i am still right here what have i become? my sweetest friend everyone i know goes away in the end you could have it all my empire of dirt i will let you down i will make you hurt if i could start again a million miles away i would keep myself i would find a way  i'm on the outside, i'm looking in i can see through you, see your true colors | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Oct. 00 | god damn....every song by this fucking band is just me. Dashboard Confessional Saints and Sailors This is where I say I've had enough and no one should ever feel the way that I feel now. A walking open wound, a trophy display of bruises and I don't believe that I'm getting any better. Waiting here with hopes the phone will ring and I'm thinking awful things but I'm pretty sure that few would notice. And this apartment is starving for an argument. Anything at all to break the silence. Wandering this house like I've never wanted out and this is about as social as I get now. And I'm throwing away the letters that I am writing you 'cause they would never do, I would never do. Waiting here with hopes the phone will ring and I'm thinking awful things but I'm pretty sure that few would notice. And this apartment is starving for an argument. Anything at all to break the silence. So don't be a liar don't say that "everything's working" when everything's broken. And you smile like a saint but you curse like a sailor and your eyes say the jokes on me. But I'm not laughing You're not leaving Who do i think i am kidding? I'm the only one locked in this cell Waiting here with hopes the phone will ring and I'm thinking awful things i'm pretty sure that few would notice and this apartment is starving for an arguement anything at all to break the silence So don't be a liar don't say that "everything's working" when everything's broken. And you smile like a saint but you curse like a sailor and your eyes say the jokes on me.  Anyone else wanting to be adopted IM me at Jemo123 | ||||

| Psychopath Registered: Oct. 00 | Silent Lucidity Queensryche Hush now, don't you cry Wipe away the teardrop from your eye You're lying safe in bed It was all a bad dream Spinning in your head Your mind tricked you to feel the pain Of someone close to you leaving the game of life So here it is, another chance Wide awake you face the day Your dream is over... or has it just begun? There's a place I like to hide A doorway that I run through in the night Relax child, you were there But only didn't realize it and you were scared It's a place where you will learn To face your fears, retrace the years And ride the whims of your mind Commanding in another world Suddenly you hear and see This magic new dimension I- will be watching over you I- am gonna help you see it through I- will protect you in the night I- am smiling next to you, in Silent Lucidity [Visualize your dream] [Record it in the present tense] [Put it into a permanent form] [If you persist in your efforts] [You can achieve dream control] [Dream control] [How's that then, better?] [Hug me] If you open your mind for me You won't rely on open eyes to see The walls you built within Come tumbling down, and a new world will begin Living twice at once you learn You're safe from the pain in the dream domain A soul set free to fly A round trip journey in your head Master of illusion, can you realize Your dream's alive, you can be the guide but... I- will be watching over you I- am gonna help to see it through I- will protect you in the night I- am smiling next to you...  | ||||

| Psychopath Registered: Feb. 01 | Lateralus Black then white are all I see in my infancy. red and yellow then came to be, reaching out to me. lets me see. As below, so above and beyond, I imagine drawn beyond the lines of reason. Push the envelope. Watch it bend. Over thinking, over analyzing separates the body from the mind. Withering my intuition, missing opportunities and I must Feed my will to feel my moment drawing way outside the lines. Black then white are all I see in my infancy. red and yellow then came to be, reaching out to me. lets me see there is so much more and beckons me to look through to these infinite possibilities. As below, so above and beyond, I imagine drawn outside the lines of reason. Push the envelope. Watch it bend. Over thinking, over analyzing separates the body from the mind. Withering my intuition leaving all these opportunities behind. Feed my will to feel this moment urging me to cross the line. Reaching out to embrace the random. Reaching out to embrace whatever may come. I embrace my desire to feel the rhythm, to feel connected enough to step aside and weep like a widow to feel inspired, to fathom the power, to witness the beauty, to bathe in the fountain, to swing on the spiral of our divinity and still be a human. With my feet upon the ground I lose myself between the sounds and open wide to suck it in, I feel it move across my skin. I'm reaching up and reaching out, I'm reaching for the random or what ever will bewilder me. And following our will and wind we may just go where no one's been. We'll ride the spiral to the end and may just go where no one's been. Spiral out. Keep going, going... "THE CAR HAD A SIGN THAT SAID CRITTERS OF HOLLYWOOD, YOU DUMB FUCK!!!" | ||||

| Psychopath Registered: Jun. 01 | Alright, you may make fun of me, because of WHO sings it, but, it's ALMOST exactly what happened with me and my X. All or Nothing y O - Town I know when he’s been on your mind That distant look is in your eyes I thought that with time you’d realize it’s over, over It’s not the way I chose to live And something somewhere’s got to give As sharing this relationship gets older, older You know I’d fight for you But how can I fight someone who isn’t even there I’ve had the rest of you Now I want the best of you I don’t care if that’s not fair Chorus: ‘Cause I want it all or nothing at all There’s nowhere left to fall When you reach the bottom It’s now or never Is it all, or are we just friends? Is this how it ends? With a simple telephone call You leave me here with nothing at all There are times it seems to me I’m sharing you with memories I feel it in my heart but I don’t show it, show it And then there’s times you look at me As though as I’m all that you can see Those times I don’t believe it’s right I know it, know it Don’t make me promises, baby You never did know how to keep them well I’ve had the rest of you, Now I want the best of you It’s time for show and tell CHORUS Cause you and I Could lose it all if you’ve got no more room No room inside for me in your life ‘Cause I want it all or nothing at all There’s nowhere left to fall It’s now or never CHORUS (repeat twice to end)  I have graduated the Spitfire School of Debauchery. | ||||

| Psychopath Registered: Oct. 00 | Talk about hitting close to home.....Opie usually pisses me off more often than not, but when he played "There Goes My Hero" by the Foo Fighters today, I fuckin' lost it. I was driving home from school (Rutgers Newark) with the now incomplete NYC skyline in my site, and I finally broke. One of my closest friends is one of New York's Bravest, I know he's presently alright, but I loved this song to begin with and everything came together at that moment, & it was too much. Thanks Op! Perfect call on the song! This message was edited by spe5150 on 9-15-01 @ 3:21 AM | ||||

| Hanger-On Registered: Dec. 00 | Dave Matthews Band - Cry Freedom How can I turn away Brother/Sister go dancing through my head Human as to human The future is no place To place your better days Cry freedom, cry From a crowd 10,000 wide Hope laid upon hope That this crowd will not subside Let this flag burn to dust And a new a fair design be raised While we wait head in hands, hands in prayer And fall into a dreamless sleep again And we wave our hands Hands and feet are all alike But gold between divide us Hands and feet are all alike But fear between divide us All slip away There was a window and by it stood A mirror in which he could see himself He thought of something Something he had never had but hoped would come along Cry freedom, cry From deep inside Where we are all confined While we wave hands in fire Wave our hands Hands and feet are all alike But gold between divide us Hands and feet are all alike But fear between divide us, Slip away In this room stood a little child And in this room this little child she would remain Until someone might decide To dance this little child across this hall Into a cold, dark, space Where she might never trace her way across this crooked mile Across this crooked page Cry freedom, cry From deep inside where we are all confined Till we wave our hands How can I turn away Brother/Sister go dancing through my head Human as to human The future is no place To place your better days Hands and feet are all alike But gold between divide us Hands and feet are all alike But fear between divide us Hands and feet are all alike Hear what I say Hear what I say Oh, so be it How can I turn away Brother/Sister go dancing through my head Human as to human The future is no place To place your better days I bet I will soon wish I was still adopted by Fez.
