"Sleepwalker" - Adam Lambert

 

I saw a picture of you

Hanging in an empty hallway

I heard a voice that I knew

And I couldn't walk away

It took me back to the end of everything

I tasted all, I tasted all the tears

Again

 

Outside the rain's pouring down

There's not a drop that hits me

Scream at the sky but no sound

Is leaving my lips

It's like I can't even feel

After the way you touched me

I'm not asleep but I'm not awake

After the way you loved me

 

I can't turn this around

I keep running into walls that I can't break down

I said I just wander around

With my eyes wide shut because of you

 

I'm a sleepwalker, walker, walker

I'm a sleepwalker, walker, walker

 

Let me outta this dream

Everywhere that I go

I see another memory

And all the places we used to know

They're always there to haunt me

 

I walk around and I feel so lost and lonely

You're everything that I want

But you don't want me

I can't turn this around

I keep running into walls that I can't break down

I said I just wander around

With my eyes wide shut because of you

 

I'm a sleepwalker, walker, walker

I'm a sleepwalker, walker, walker

Let me outta this dream

Dream, let me outta of this dream

 

I can't turn this around

I keep running into walls that I can't break down

I say I just wander around

With my eyes wide shut because of you

 

I'm a sleepwalker, walker, walker

I'm a sleepwalker, walker, walker

I'm a sleepwalker, walker, walker

I'm a sleepwalker, walker, walker

 

Let me outta this dream

"I of the Storm" - Of Monsters and Men

 

If I could face them

If I could make amends

With all my shadows

I'd bow my head and welcome them

But I feel it burning

Like when the winter wind

Stops my breathing

 

Are you really going to love me

When I'm gone

I fear you won't, I fear you don't

 

And it echoes when I breathe

Until all you see is my ghost

Empty vessel, crooked teeth

Wish you could see

 

And they call me under

And I'm shaking like a leaf

And they call me under

And I wither underneath

In this storm

 

I am a stranger, I am an alien

Inside a structure

Are you really going to love me

When I'm gone

With all my thoughts and all my faults

I feel it biting, I feel it break my skin

So uninviting

 

Are you really going to need me

When I'm gone

I fear you won't, I fear you don't

 

And it echoes when I breathe

Until all you see is my ghost

Empty vessel, crooked teeth

Wish you could see

And they call me under

And I'm shaking like a leaf

And they call me under

And I wither underneath

In this storm

 

I feel it

And they call me under

And I'm shaking like a leaf

And they call me underneath

To this storm

"Ready For The Rain" - Foreigner

 

Early in the morning before the daylight

I hear the sound of thunder coming through the night

I lie awake and I wonder where my life is going

Am I on a road leading nowhere, there's no way of knowing

Cause I've seen the lightning

And I'm ready for the rain to fall

 

Now I'm standing on a mountain looking into the sky

I see the clouds come rolling in, water fills my eyes

I don't know what's in the future, no one can say

Don't wanna think about the past, I've gotta live for today

Cause I've seen the lightning now

I need to find my own way while I've still got time

 

And I'm ready for the rain to fall

Cause I've heard the thunder

And I'm ready for the rain to fall

I'm ready, ready for the rain

I've got to rise above it all

And get ready for the rain to fall

 

Did you ever know someone who had lost their way

Built their own little kingdom and just blew it all away

I'm not ashamed to admit it, that someone was me

I'm gonna look to the future now cause I've set myself free

And I've seen the lightning

I'm gonna set myself free while I've still got time

 

Get ready for the rain to fall

Cause I've heard the thunder

And I'm ready for the rain to fall

I'm ready, ready for the rain

I've got to rise above it all

And get ready for the rain to fall

While I've still got time

 

I'm ready for the rain to fall

Cause I've seen the lightning

I'm ready for the rain to fall

 

Oh, I'm going to rise above it all

Get ready for the rain to fall

While I've still got time

I'm ready for the rain to fall

Fall down on me

I'm going to rise above it all

Playing for Change

 

Don't worry about a thing

Cause every little thing gonna be alright

Singing don't worry about a thing

Cause every little thing gonna be alright!

 

Rise up this morning

Smiled with the rising sun

Three little birds

Pitch by my doorstep

Singing sweet songs

Of melodies pure and true

Saying, "This is my message to you"

"Flower" - Jewel 

 

http://animalstime.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/panda-bear-facts-for-kids2.jpg

 

She dreams of the country

Her eyes go far away

She wishes for happiness

The beauty of brighter days

 

Sometimes life seems so grey

So she sees it through different eyes

Like a flower pushing up through concrete

To thrive

 

[CHORUS:]

Cause she's always known

That there was something more

Like a hunger in her belly

Like an instinct telling her

That there was something more

This living can't be called living

If it's really only half a life

She's a flower that grows

Despite cement walls

And she will survive

She will survive

 

She's a rare breed with rose petal lips

And leafy limbs

In conversations she looks for cracks

To dig her roots deep in

 

The waves comes up like daisies

She pushes her head to the sun

Says "I'm still me despite these circumstances

And the best has yet to come"

 

[CHORUS]

 

Challenges do not define us

We are shaped by how we carry on

This is our opportunity

To decide the kind of women we want to become

 

And so it's with great gratitude

And the strength of humility

We transform pain into victory

By digging our roots deep

 

And always know

That there's something more

There's this hunger in our bellies

Like an instinct's telling us

That there's something more

This living cannot be called living

If we're really only half alive

We are flowers that grow

Despite cement walls

And we will survive

 

And we will survive

And we will survive

"Oh Life (There Must Be More)"

The Alan Parsons Project

 

Waves roll out, out to sea

Tasting the saltwater

Tears upon her cheeks

Morning breaks, she's not there

Who could ever find her

Who would even care

 

No one heard, no one came

No angel of mercy

Appears to know her name

Where is hope when words fail

All the colors running

Inside when life turns pale

 

In the dock the boats are harbored

Where the water's cold and still

"Oh life", she cries, "I've lost the will"

From the bridge she sees a lifetime

Being washed upon the shore

"Oh life", she cries, "There must be more"

 

Tides roll in, waters rise

Any chance of reason

Only clouds her eyes

Arms of grace she won't feel

All the wounds inside her

That time can never heal

 

The city lights shine seaward

Swirling in a trance

Her eyes upon the water

Alone in her last dance

 

From the docks the boats are leaving

As she cries into the dawn

"Oh life, I'm barely holding on"

And she sees her future falling

Till it finds the ocean floor

"Oh life", she cries, "There must be more

"There must be more"

 

And with the early light

She'll sail into the clear

The winds are all behind her

The hour's almost here

 

From the bridge she hears the voices

Turn into a roar

"Oh life", she cries, "There must be more"

On the dock her soul is sinking

But her spirit longs to soar

"Oh life", she cries, "There must be more

"There must be more"

 

"There must be more

"Oh life I'm barely holding on

"There must be more

"There must be more

"Oh life, there must be something more"

Adorable - Self Imperfectionist

 

 

Then I spoke, not out of turn

But more out of hope that he would learn

My feelings for you

But my failing to

 

I didn't want to

I didn't need to

I didn't have to

I didn't mean to

 

But being human is just no excuse

For my hideous abuse of your love

Of your love

 

I want to touch you

So very much

But you don't hold that trust

You don't believe in us

 

I didn't want to

I didn't need to

I didn't have to

I didn't mean to

 

But being human is just no excuse

For my hideous abuse of your love

Of your love

 

I know I'm imperfect

I'm not just saying it for the fact

I don't want to sacrifice the only thing I've cared for in my life

 

Forgive me

"Long, Long Journey" - Enya

 

City lights shine on the harbor

Night has fallen down

Through the darkness

And the shadow

I will still go on

 

Long, long journey

Through the darkness

Long, long way to go

But what are miles across the ocean

To the heart that's coming home

 

Where the road

Runs through the valley

Where the river flows

I will follow every highway

To the place I know

 

Long, long journey

Through the darkness

Long, long way to go

But what are miles across the ocean

To the heart that's coming home

 

Long, long journey

Out of nowhere,

Long, long way to go

But what are sighs

And what is sadness

To the heart that's coming home

Julia Holter - Our Sorrows

 

 

All voices move out from the order that we left them.

Turn up and turn around - hear them call your name.

If you call out, I will follow you.

 

Meeting at the bus-stop, the early morning look-out crowd.

Dizzy from the tire view - hear them call your name.

"Then the others follow; one, two: one, two; one two ...

Birds are singing up and down, and all around us"

 

If you call out, I will follow you.

"Got a Suitcase, Got Regrets" - Tom McRae

 

Change the locks on the door

Put out the light in the hall

I do not live here anymore

Put the world in a box

Turn the sign to the street

Aim for where the horizon

And blue skies meet

 

But all I know is I'm not ready yet

For the light to dim

Got a suitcase, got regrets

But I'm hopeful yet

 

I've been a gifted thief

Stole everything for the cause

I never had fingers as light as yours

So wake up pretty girl

See the hope in small things

Disappointment can wear you thin

 

But all I know is I'm not ready yet

For the light to dim

Got a suitcase, got regrets

But I'm hopeful yet

 

And I'll raise this glass of wine

And I'll say your name

 

So let's be killers, babe

Make the great escape

From all the bitter words

Of every crowded street

And empty heart

 

It's Christmas day

Brooklyn in the rain

But I am safe inside

A better world of hope and memory

 

Drunk on velvet wine

The Southern Cross for light

Deal your cards

And hope that I can play a better hand this time

 

[[Lo...]]

Pixies - Monkey Gone To Heaven

 

 

 

 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monkey_Gone_to_Heaven

Lyrics and meaning

"Monkey Gone to Heaven"'s main theme is environmentalism. The song mainly deals with man's destruction of the ocean and "confusion of man's place in the universe". "On one hand, it's [the ocean] this big organic toilet. Things get flushed and repurified or decomposed and it's this big, dark, mysterious place", Black later said, "It's also a very mythological place where there are octopus's gardens, the Bermuda Triangle, Atlantis, and mermaids."[2] Francis came up with the song's hook, "this monkey's gone to heaven", long before the song itself was written. The line itself forms a basis for the song, which revolves around man's relationship with the divine and environmentalism. After Francis set the developing lyrics to music, he rushed to lead guitarist Joey Santiago's apartment to play it to him. Santiago later commented on the nascent performance: "It was early in the morning, I was still so tired. [Francis said] 'Hey Joe, I need to come over. I need to show you something.' [...] It was awesome, really good. He had the 'If man is five' part there, and he was laughing. [...] It was hilarious".[2]

 

"Monkey Gone to Heaven" includes references to numerology in the lyrics "If man is five/then the Devil is six/and God is seven". Francis later expanded on the significance of the lyrics in an interview to Alternative Press, saying "It's a reference from what I understand to be Hebrew numerology, and I don't know a lot about it or any of it really. I just remember someone telling me of the supposed fact that in the Hebrew language, especially in the Bible, you can find lots of references to man in the 5th and Satan in the 6th and God in the 7th. [...] I didn't go to the library and figure it out".[3] The song's numerology is alluded to on the single's cover, which features figures of five, six and seven, and also a monkey with a halo.

 

Ben Sisario, author of Doolittle 33⅓, offers a slightly different interpretation of the song: "Neptune, the god of this realm [in reference to Francis' ocean comment], the 'underwater guy who controlled the sea,' hung out down there, the personification of man's relationship with the earth. And what happens to Neptune? He gets 'killed by ten million pounds of sludge from New York to New Jersey.' Same thing with the "creature in the sky," who gets stuck up there in a hole in the ozone layer. Man the divine manifestation effectively dies, and what remains is his degraded animal nature; the chintzy halo stuck on the primate's head is the symbol of that unhappy fall".[4]

"Flying On Your Own"

 

Rita MacNeil

 

Anne Murray

 

You were never more strong, girl

You were never more alone

Once there was two, now there's just you

You're flying on your own

 

You were never more happy, girl

You were never, oh, so blue

Once heartaches begin, nobody wins

You're flying on your own

 

And when you know the wings you ride

Can keep you in the sky

There isn't anyone holding back you

First you stumble, then you fall

You reach up and you fly

There isn't anything that you can't do

 

You were never more wise, girl

You were never more a fool

Once you break through, its all up to you

You're flying on your own

 

You were never more together

You were never more apart

Once pieces of you were all that you knew

You're flying on your own

And when you know the wings you ride

Can keep you in the sky

There isn't anyone holding back you

First you stumble, then you fall

You reach up and you fly

There isn't anything that you can't do

The Go Betweens - Bye Bye Pride

 

 

A white moon appears

Like a hole in the sky,

The mangroves go quiet.

In la Brisa de la Palma

A teenage Rasputin

Takes the sting from a gin,

 

When a woman learns to walk

She's not dependent anymore

A line front her letter May twenty-four

And out on the bay

The current is strong

A boat can go lost.

 

But I didn't know someone

Could be so lonesome

Didn't know a heart

Could be tied up

And held for ransom.

Until you take your shoes

And go outside, stride over stride.

Walk to that tide because

The door is open wide.

 

Turned the fan off

And went for a walk

By the lights down on Shield Street.

The birds in the trees

Open their wings

He goes home again.

 

He dreams resistance,

They talk commitment,

Things change over long distance.

Took the shirt off his back

The eyes from his head

And left him for dead.

 

But I didn't know someone

Could be so lonesome

Didn't know a heart

Could be tied up

And held for ransom.

Until you take your shoes

And go outside, stride over stride,

Walk to that tide because

The door is open wide.

 

Little lies, they'll take your pride.

Until you take your shoes

And go outside, stride over stride,

Walk to that tide because

The door is open wide.

Stride over stride

Walk to that tide.

Bye bye pride.

Because the door is open wide.

The door is always open wide.

The door is always open wide.

New Order - Regret

 

 

Maybe I've forgotten the name and the address

Of everyone I've ever known

It's nothing I regret

Save it for another day

It's the school exam and the kids have run away

 

I would like a place I could call my own

Have a conversation on the telephone

Wake up every day that would be a start

I would not complain of my wounded heart

 

I was upset you see

Almost all the time

You used to be a stranger

Now you are mine

 

I wouldn't even trust you

I've not got much to give

We're dealing in the limits

And we don't know who with

You may think that I'm out of hand

That I'm naive, I'll understand

On this occasion, it's not true

Look at me, I'm not you

 

I would like a place I could call my own

Have a conversation on the telephone

Wake up every day that would be a start

I would not complain of my wounded heart

 

I was a short fuse

Burning all the time

You were a complete stranger

Now you are mine

 

I would like a place I could call my own

Have a conversation on the telephone

Wake up every day that would be a start

I would not complain about my wounded heart

 

Just wait till tomorrow

I guess that's what they all say

Just before they fall apart

[[Lo...]]

Fuel - Shimmer

 

 

She calls me from the cold

Just when I was low, feeling short of stable

And all that she intends

And all she keeps inside, isn't on the label

She says she's ashamed

And can she take me for awhile?

And can I be a friend, we'll forget the past

But maybe I'm not able

And I break at the bend

 

[Chorus]

We're here and now, but will we ever be again

'Cause I have found

All that shimmers in this world is sure to fade

Away again

 

She dreams a champagne dream

Strawberry surprise, pink linen and white paper

Lavender and cream

Fields of butterflies, reality escapes her

She says that love is for fools who fall behind

And I'm somewhere in between

I never really know

A killer from a savior

'Til I break at the bend

 

[chorus]

 

It's too far away for me to hold

It's too far away...

Guess I'll let it go

"Troubled Soul" - Amy Macdonald

 

 

Oh the sun may shine

Through your window on a summer's day

Doesn't change your heavy heart

Skips a beat each day

You get a temporary high

As you watch life pass you by

Every single day you want to cry

Can we wish the tears a fond goodbye

 

Aching heart, troubled soul

I wanna tell you something

I wanted you to know

Look at these eyes

Look at this smile

They're gonna stay around here

For a while

(x2)

 

Oh the rain may pour and it may fall

But still I'll always hear you call

I'll be waiting, waiting for you

Oh your eyes so blue

Your smile so wide

I think about you every day

And every night

I'll be waiting, waiting for you

 

Aching heart, troubled soul

I wanna tell you something

I wanted you to know

Look at these eyes

Look at this smile

They're gonna stay around here

For a while

Suzanne Vega - Ludlow Street

 

 

Love is the only thing that matters.

Love is the only thing that's real.

I know we hear this every day.

It's still the hardest thing to feel.

 

This time

When I go back to Ludlow Street,

I find each stoop and doorway's incomplete,

Without you there.

 

Another generation's parties.

And it is still the same old scene.

I can recall each morning after.

Painted in nicotine.

 

This time

When I go back to Ludlow Street,

I find each stoop and doorway's incomplete

Without you there.

 

All of the people I once knew.

All of the ones I was close to.

 

Love is the only thing that matters.

Love the only thing that's real,

And when I think about you now

Love is the only thing I feel.

 

This time

When I go back to Ludlow Street,

I find each stoop and doorway's incomplete

Without you there.

 

Tim, this time

When I go back to Ludlow Street

I find each stoop and doorway's incomplete

Without you there.

Cake-Rock 'n' roll life style

 

https://youtu.be/xUYh9z2efHY

 

Well your CD collection looks shiny and costly.

How much did you pay for your bad Moto Guzzi?

And how much did you spend on your black leather jacket?

Is it you or your parents in this income tax bracket?

Now tickets to concerts and drinking at clubs

Sometimes for music that you haven't even heard of.

And how much did you pay for your rock'n'roll t shirt

That proves you were there

That you heard of them first?

How do you afford your rock'n'roll lifestyle?

How do you afford your rock'n'roll lifestyle?

How do you afford your rock'n'roll lifestyle?

Ah, tell me.

How much did you pay for the chunk of his guitar,

The one he ruthlessly smashed at the end of the show?

And how much will he pay for a brand new guitar,

One which he'll ruthlessly smash at the end of another show?

And how long will the workers keep building him new ones?

As long as their soda cans are red, white, and blue ones.

And how long will the workers keep building him new ones?

As long as their soda cans are red, white, and blue ones.

Aging black leather and hospital bills,

Tattoo removal and dozens of pills.

Your liver pays dearly now for youthful magic moments,

But rock on completely with some brand new components.

How do you afford your rock'n'roll lifestyle?

How do you afford your rock'n'roll lifestyle?

How do you afford your rock'n'roll lifestyle?

Excess ain't rebellion.

You're drinking what they're selling.

Your self-destruction doesn't hurt them.

Your chaos won't convert them.

They're so happy to rebuild it.

You'll never really kill it.

Yeah, excess ain't rebellion.

You're drinking what they're selling.

Excess ain't rebellion.

You're drinking,

You're drinking,

You're drinking what they're selling.

Jewel - Hands

 

 

If I could tell the world just one thing

It would be that we're all OK

And not to worry 'cause worry is wasteful

And useless in times like these

I won't be made useless

I won't be idle with despair

I will gather myself around my faith

For light does the darkness most fear

My hands are small, I know

But they're not yours, they are my own

But they're not yours, they are my own

And I am never broken

Poverty stole your golden shoes

It didn't steal your laughter

And heartache came to visit me

But I knew it wasn't ever after

We'll fight, not out of spite

For someone must stand up for what's right

'Cause where there's a man who has no voice

There ours shall go singing

My hands are small I know

But they're not yours, they are my own

But they're not yours, they are my own

I am never broken

In the end only kindness matters

In the end only kindness matters

I will get down on my knees, and I will pray

I will get down on my knees, and I will pray

I will get down on my knees, and I will pray

My hands are small I know

But they're not yours, they are my own

But they're not yours, they are my own

And I am never broken

My hands are small I know

But they're not yours, they are my own

But they're not yours, they are my own

And I am never broken

We are never broken

We are God's eyes

God's hands

God's mind

We are God's eyes

God's hands

God's heart

We are God's eyes

God's hands

God's eyes

We are God's hands

We are God's hands
