"Shattered" - Trading Yesterday

https://youtu.be/w_LOOKssMpA

 

Yesterday I died

Tomorrow's bleeding

Fall into your sunlight

The future's open wide beyond believing

To know why hope dies

 

And losing what was found

A world so hollow

Suspended in a compromise

But the silence of this sound is soon to follow

Somehow sundown

 

And finding answers

Is forgetting all of the questions we called home

Passing the graves of the unknown

 

As reason clouds my eyes

With splendor fading

Illusions of the sunlight

And a reflection of a lie will keep me waiting

With love gone for so long

 

And this day's ending

Is the proof of time killing all the faith I know

Knowing that faith is all I hold

 

And I've lost who I am

And I can't understand

Why my heart is so broken

Rejecting your love

Without love gone wrong

Lifeless words carry on

 

But I know, all I know

Is that the end's beginning

Who I am from the start

Take me home to my heart

 

Let me go and I will run

I will not be silent

All this time spent in vain

Wasted years, wasted gain

All is lost but hope remains

And this war's not over

There's a light, there's a sun

Taking all these shattered ones

To the place we belong

And this love will conquer all

 

Yesterday I died

Tomorrow's bleeding

Fall into your sunlight

"Had Enough" - Lifehouse ft Daughtry

 

Loneliness pacing up and down these hallways

Second guessing every thought

Mystified, just spinning round in circles

Drowning in the silent screaming

With nothing left to say

 

Every time I reach for you

There's no one there to hold on to

Nothing left for me to miss

I'm letting go, letting go of this

Lost my mind thinking it through

The light inside has left me too

Now I know what empty is

I've had enough, had enough of this

 

I believe that love should be a reason

To give and get back in return

I wanna breathe in a new beginning

With someone who will wrap her arms

Around what's left of me

 

Every time I reach for you

There's no one there to hold on to

Nothing left for me to miss

I'm letting go, letting go of this

Lost my mind thinking it through

The light inside has left me too

Now I know what empty is

I've had enough, had enough of this

 

I'm tired of barely holding on

To something that's already gone

I'm tired of being the one who's in this all alone

 

Every time I reach for you

There's no one there to hold on to

Nothing left for me to miss

I'm letting go of this

Lost my mind thinking it through

The light inside has left me too

Now I know what empty is

I've had enough, had enough of this

 

 

I've had enough, had enough of this

 

 

 

[[Ma...]]

I don't like Mariah, but I liked that song and especially the lyrics..

 

MARIAH CAREY

Hero

 

 

There's a hero

If you look inside your heart

You don't have to be afraid

Of what you are

There's an answer

If you reach into your soul

And the sorrow that you know

Will melt away

 

And then a hero comes along

With the strength to carry on

And you cast your fears aside

Cause you know you can survive

So when you feel like hope is gone

Look inside you and be strong

And you'll finally see the truth

That a hero lies in you

 

It's a long road

When you face the world alone

No one reaches out a hand

For you to hold

You can find love

If you search within yourself

And the emptiness you felt

Will disappear

 

And then a hero comes along

With the strength to carry on

And you cast your fears aside

And you know you can survive

So when you feel like hope is gone

Look inside you and be strong

And you'll finally see the truth

That a hero lies in you

 

Lord knows

Dreams are hard to follow

But don't let anyone

Tear them away

Just hold on

There will be tomorrow

In time

You'll find the way

 

And then a hero comes along

With the strength to carry on

And you cast your fears aside

And you know you can survive

So when you feel like hope is gone

Look inside you and be strong

And you'll finally see the truth

That a hero lies in you

 

 

 

 

We are all heroes, buddies

[[...]]

I don't like Mariah, but I liked that song and especially the lyrics..

 

MARIAH CAREY

Hero

 

 

Hey Marigold!  I do love Mariah's powerhouse voice but I'm not too crazy about many of her song choices.  This one I absolutely love though, thanks for sharing and yes, we are all heroes, absolutely!    Hey, you forgot to add the link to the Youtube, lol, so here for everyone else. 

 

I hope you're doing okay?  Here's another one, similar theme. 

 

 

"Warriors" - Freedom Call

 

We are warriors born from the light

An army for freedom defenders of life

 

At night, high up in the heavens we fight

Faster than lightning we strike

Like fires that rip through the night

Surrounded by light

 

Raging thunder in the skies

Time has come to sacrifice

 

We are warriors born from the light

An army for freedom, defenders of life

Warriors, euphoria will rise

Returning from darkness we bury all lies

 

The knights outcast and lost in the skies

Returning to heaven denied

Louder than thunder we ride

We're ready to strike

 

Call for us and you will survive

Follow us to paradise

 

We are warriors born from the light

An army for freedom defenders of life

Warriors, euphoria will rise

Returning from darkness we bury all lies

 

Here we are, the warriors of light

Here we are, we came from the night

Here we are, the warriors of light

Here we are, euphoria will rise

 

We are warriors born from the light

An army for freedom defenders of life

Warriors, euphoria will rise

Returning from darkness we bury all lies

 

We are warriors born from the light

Warriors, euphoria will rise

Returning from darkness we bury all lies

"I Believe" - Skye

https://youtu.be/9g0PlyTafdM

I can tell you're feeling lost

Wandering around without a clue

The road you will cross

Take my hand I'll lead you

 

Now I don't know it all

But if you fall

I'll be there for you

The things that you can be

Are there for us to see

 

I believe in you

I believe in all the things that you do

I believe in you

I believe

 

I've seen you and your battle scars

Caught up in these rattling chains

I wonder how you are

Inside this so called fame

 

I wanna fill your empty shell

Free you from the spell

Throw away the blame

I'm gonna set your soul at ease

Thaw you from the freeze

 

I believe in you

I believe in all the things that you do

I believe in you

I believe

 

We're traveling full speed

We got all that we need

Let's go out on that ride

It's time for you and me

And all that we can be

 

I believe in you

I believe in all the things that you do

I believe in you

I believe in all the things that you do

 

I can tell you're feeling lost

I believe in you

Yes, I do

I can tell you're feeling lost

I believe in you

Yes, I do

I believe

I believe in you

I believe in you

"Guess I'm Doing Fine" - Beck

 

There's a bluebird at the window

I can't hear the songs he sings

All the jewels in heaven

They don't look the same to me

 

I just wade the tides that turned

'Till I learn to leave the past behind

 

It's only lies that I'm living

It's only tears that I'm crying

It's only you that I'm losing

Guess I'm doing fine

 

All the battlements are empty

And the moon is laying low

Yellow roses in the graveyard

Got no time to watch them grow

 

Now I bade a friend farewell

I can do whatever pleases me

 

It's only lies that I'm living

It's only tears that I'm crying

It's only you that I'm losing

Guess I'm doing fine

 

Press my face up to the window

To see how warm it is inside

See the things that Ive been missing

Missing all this time

 

It's only lies that I'm living

It's only tears that I'm crying

It's only you that I'm losing

Guess I'm doing fine

 

Guess I'm doing fine

 

[[Be...]]

abcd, I like your personal quote, "I live in my own world, but it's ok, they know me here."  That's how I feel. 

[[...]]

Aww, Becks, big hugs!   

I thought that quote was quite hilarious when I first found it but it's getting a little less funny as time goes on!  Geez, I think I'm really losing it, I just giggled writing that    Gotta keep the humor, gotta keep the humor.  Okay, so on that note, as soon as I read your post a certain song immediately sprang to mind.  I'd never really taken much notice of the lyrics before and I did have to laugh out loud ... some refer to this as gallows humor  and in the spirit of humor I'm going to throw it down.  Can't take ourselves too seriously! 

More hugs, Becks!

 

"My Little Town" - Simon & Garfunkel

 

In my little town

I grew up believing

God keeps his eye on us all

And He used to lean upon me

As I pledged allegiance to the wall

Lord, I recall

My little town

 

Coming home after school

Flying my bike past the gates

Of the factories

My Mom doing the laundry

Hanging our shirts

In the dirty breeze

 

And after it rains

There's a rainbow

And then all of the colors are black

It's not that the colors aren't there

It's just imagination they lack

Everything's the same

Back in my little town

 

Nothing but the dead and dying

Back in my little town

Nothing but the dead and dying

Back in my little town

 

In my little town

I never meant nothing

I was just my father's son

Saving my money

Dreaming of glory

Twitching like a finger

On the trigger of a gun

Leaving nothing but the dead and dying

Back in my little town

 

Nothing but the dead and dying

Back in my little town

Nothing but the dead and dying

Back in my little town

"Give Me A Sign" - Breaking Benjamin

 

Dead stars shine

Light up the sky

I'm all out of breath

My walls are closing in

Days go by

Give me a sign

Come back to the end

The shepherd of the damned

 

[CHORUS]

I can feel you falling away

No longer the lost

No longer the same

And I can see you starting to break

I'll keep you alive

If you show me the way

Forever and ever

The scars will remain

I'm falling apart

Leave me here forever in the dark

 

Daylight dies

Black out the sky

Does anyone care

Is anybody there

Take this life

Empty inside

I'm already dead

I'll rise to fall again

 

[CHORUS]

 

God help me I've come undone

Out of the light of the sun

God help me I've come undone

Out of the light of the sun

 

[CHORUS]

 

Give me a sign

There's something buried in the words

Give me a sign

Your tears are adding to the flood

 

Forever and ever

The scars will remain

"Madness" - Sleeping with Sirens

 

All of my life

I built this armor

And every disguise I ever wore

Ashes and dust

I made an island

Facing the end

I said what for

 

Sometimes it's a battle

At times it’s a war

But you’re never defenseless

Sometimes we all lose strength

Please don't lose your faith

 

After our time has passed

We're like light through stained glass

We go on and on and on

In the end we’re never gone

 

Out of the skies

I shaped the silence

And from the earth

I carved these walls

A piece of the world

Was only mine

And then I said

I wanted more

 

At the edge of the blackness

When you’re stretched to the core

Catch hold of the madness

 

Sometimes we all lose strength

Please don't lose your faith in me

 

After our time has passed

We're like light through stained glass

We go on and on and on

In the end we’re never gone

 

I will be yours to trust

This is not the last of us

We'll go on and on and on

In the end we're never gone

Or erased

 

Please don't lose your faith

Please don't lose your faith

In me

"Beautiful" - India Arie

https://youtu.be/pOfhbLn8fw8

 

The time is right

I'm gonna pack my bags

And take that journey down the road

Cause over the mountain

I see the bright sun shinning

And I want to live inside the glow

 

I wanna go to place

Where I am nothing and everything

That exists between here and nowhere

I wanna got to a place

Where time has no consequence

The sky opens to my prayers

 

I wanna go to beautiful

I wanna go to beautiful

I wanna go to beautiful

I wanna go to beautiful

 

Please understand

That it's not that I don't care

But right know

These walls are closing in on me

I love you more than I love life itself

But I need to find a place

Where I can breathe, I can breathe

 

I wanna go to place

Were I can hold the intangible

And let go of the pain with all my might

I wanna go to a place

Where I am suspended in ecstasy

Somewhere between dark and light

Where wrong becomes right

 

I wanna go to beautiful

I wanna go to beautiful

I wanna go to beautiful

I wanna go to beautiful

"Find the River" - R.E.M.

 

Hey now, little speedy head

The read on the speed meter says

You have to go to task in the city

 

Where people drown and people serve

Don't be shy, your just deserts

Is only just light years to go

 

Me, my thoughts are flower strewn

Ocean storm, bayberry moon

I've got to leave to find my way

 

Watch the road and memorize

This life that passed before my eyes

And nothing is going my way

 

The ocean is the river's goal

The need to leave, the water knows

We're closer now than light years to go

 

I have got to find the river

Bergamot and bed of rose

Run through my head and fall away

 

Leave the road and memorize

This life that passed before my eyes

Nothing is going my way

 

There's no one left to take the lead

But I tell you and you can see

We're closer now than light years to go

 

Pick up here and chase the ride

The river empties to the tide

Fall into the ocean

 

The river to the ocean goes

A fortune for the undertow

None of this is going my way

 

There is nothing left to grow

But ginger, mint and indigo

Coriander stem and rows of hay

 

Strength and courage overrides

The privileged and weary eyes

River poets search naiveté

 

Pick up here and chase the ride

The river empties to the tide

All of this is coming your way

"Setting Me Free" - Beth Hart

 

 

 

Hello, hello

Are you in there, child

Leave that party dress

And your suicidal smile

Hello, hello

I've come to see it done

The stripes across your face

And the battles that he's won

 

Don't tell me to hide

I've run from living all my life

 

I'm setting me free

Blood, sweat, and tears

I've been so desperate all these years

Now I'm taking my bones

And leaving your ring

This house made of glass

Is shattering

I'm setting me free

 

Hello, hello

I hear the sirens roar

Coming round the bend

Like a thousand times before

Hello, hello

Don't you give up the fight

Like a beat down dog

Who's forgotten how to bite

 

Don't tell me it's wrong

I've only come to be your friend

 

I'm setting me free

Blood, sweat, and tears

I've been so desperate all these years

Don't tell me I'm blind

It's you who won't see

The woman I am

The fighter in me

I'm setting me free

 

I'm laughing, I'm crying

I'm living, I'm dying

I'm changing the power in me

I'm setting me free

 

Like fire and water

I'm mother, I'm daughter

I'm changing the power in me

 

I'm setting me free

Blood, sweat, and tears

I've been so desperate all these years

I'm taking my bones

And leaving your ring

Your house made of glass

Is shattering

I'm setting me free

 

Hello, hello

"Sullen Girl"

 

Fiona Apple

 

 

 

Days like this

I don't know what

To do with myself

All day and all night

I wander the halls

Along the walls and

Under my breath

I say to myself

I need fuel

To take flight

And there's too

Much going on

But it's calm under

The waves

In the blue of my oblivion

Under the waves in

The blue of my oblivion

 

Is that why they call me

A sullen girl, sullen girl

They don't know

I used to sail the

Deep and tranquil sea

But he washed me shore

And he took my pearl

And left an empty

Shell of me

 

And there's too

Much going on

But it's calm under the waves

In the blue of my oblivion

Under the waves

In the blue of my oblivion

Under the waves

In the blue of my oblivion

It's calm under the waves

In the blue of my oblivion

"Alien"

 

John Paul White

 

 

 

 

I don"t belong

I"m so alone on this crowded planet

Out of place in this human race

And I haven"t felt at home since I landed

 

Oh, here I go again

Feeling like an alien

Trying to keep my grip

Waiting on a mother ship to save me

Please save me

 

Someone beam me up

No one will even notice I"m missing

At the least, give me peace

Some understanding about my mission

 

Oh, here I go again

Feeling like an alien

Trying to keep my grip

Waiting on a mother ship to save me

Please save me

 

Starting to lose my grip

Where is that mother ship

 

Oh, here I go again

Feeling like an alien

Trying to keep my grip

Waiting on a mother ship to save me

Please save me

Oh, here I go again

Just like an alien

Oooh starting to lose my brain

Oh, here I go again

Oh, here I go again

Like an alien

"Road To Nowhere" - Ozzy Osbourne

 

I was looking back on my life

And all the things I've done to me

I'm still looking for the answers

And I'm still searching for the key

 

The wreckage of my past keeps haunting me

It just won't leave me alone

I still find it all a mystery

Could it be a dream

The road to nowhere leads to me

 

Through all the happiness and sorrow

I guess I'd do it all again

Live for today and not tomorrow

It's still the road that never ends

 

The wreckage of my past keeps haunting me

It just won't leave me alone

I still find it all a mystery

Could it be a dream

The road to nowhere leads to me

 

The road to nowhere's gonna pass me by

I hope we never have to say goodbye

I never want to live without you

The road to nowhere leads to me

 

The wreckage of my past keeps haunting me

It just won't leave me alone

I still find it all a mystery

Could it be a dream

The road to nowhere leads to me

 

The road to nowhere leads to me

The road to nowhere leads to me

"It's Gonna Rain" - Lucinda Williams

 

I'm so tired of these overcast skies

I'm so tired of the looks in people's eyes

I can't wait 'til I can go away

And it's gonna rain again today

 

Don't know why I'm still hanging round

All these nightclubs only get me down

And this was never my town anyway

And it's gonna rain again today

 

It's gonna rain, it's gonna rain

It's gonna rain again today

 

I've been standing on the edge of darkness

I can see black clouds overhead

This town is never gonna change its ways

And it's gonna rain again today

 

You wanna know why I don't hang out

You wanna know what it's all about

There is nothing much left for me to say

Except it's gonna rain again today

 

It's gonna rain, it's gonna rain

It's gonna rain again today

 

It's gonna rain, it's gonna rain

It's gonna rain again today

It's gonna rain again today

"Life In Disguise" - The Slip

 

Well the world is only a stage

And I'm just a man

With a sound caught in his throat

And a pick in his hand

But when the song comes tumbling out

You understand

There's no great demand

 

Well it's there under your breath

Behind your eyes

And you don't have to say nothing

Cause I realize

That everything somehow in some way

Eventually dies

It's life in disguise

 

It's your room and your board

And your fireside

It's a shell that's been washed

By a million tides

And if you're there you can see

Just how bright it shines

 

When there's nobody

Left in your heart

Left in your head

When the whole world

Has packed up in shadows

And left you for dead

 

When you can't fake a smile

And you just can't get out of your bed

When the people you led

Turn to you looking so hungry and bare

And you were the one

That had brought them there

And all you can do

Is just stare at your hands

And whisper my name

 

Eleanor Cecil, Robert and Molly

Coco, Rudy, Maxwell wherever you are

Eleanor, Cecil, Robert and Molly

Coco and Rudy and Maxwell wherever you are

"Talking To My Angel" - Melissa Etheridge

 

Don't be afraid, close your eyes

Lay it all down, don't you cry

Can't you see I'm going

Where I can see the sunrise

I've been talking to my angel

And he said that it's alright

 

I've always had to run

I don't know just why

A desire slowly smoking

Under the midwest sky

But there's something waiting out there

That says I've got to try

I've been talking to my angel

And he said that it's alright

 

This town thinks I'm crazy

They just think I'm strange

Sometimes they want to own me

Sometimes they wish I'd change

But I can feel the thunder

Underneath my feet

Well, I sold my soul for freedom

It's lonely but it's sweet

 

Don't be afraid, close your eyes

Lay it all down, don't you cry

Can't you see I'm going

Where I can see the sunrise

I've been talking to my angel

And he said that it's alright

"Falling Down" - Muse

https://youtu.be/iw_c6JTVC2A

 

I’m falling down

And fifteen thousand people scream

They were all begging for your dream

I’m falling down

Five thousand houses burning down

No one is gonna save this town

 

Too late

I already found what I was looking for

You know it wasn’t here

No it wasn’t here

 

I was calling your name

But you would never hear me sing

You wouldn’t let me begin

So I’m crawling away

Cause you broke my heart in two

No, I will not forget you

 

Too late

I already found what I was looking for

You know it wasn’t you

No, it wasn’t you

No

 

Falling away

You would never see me through

No, I could not forget you

Falling down

Five thousand house burning down

No one is gonna save this town

 

Too late

I already found what I was looking for

You know it wasn’t you

No, it wasn’t you

No

 

Falling down

Now the world is upside down

I’m heading straight for the clouds

"The Flood" - Katie Melua

 

Broken people get recycled

And I hope that I will

Sometimes we're thrown off our pathways

What I thought was my way home

Wasn't the place I know

I'm not afraid of changing

I'm certain nothing's certain

What we own becomes our prison

My possessions will be gone

Back to where they came from

 

Blame, no one is to blame

As natural as the rain that falls

Here comes the flood again

 

See the rock that you hold on to

Is it gonna save you

When the earth begins to crumble

Why do you feel you have to hold on

Imagine if you let go

 

Blame, no one is to blame

As natural as the rain that falls

Here comes the flood again

 

Wash away

The weight that pulls you down

Ride the waves

That free you from the dusk

 

Don't trust your eyes

It's easy to believe them

Know in your heart

That you can leave your prison

 

Don't trust your mind

It's not always listening

Turn on the lights

And feel the ancient rhythm

 

Don't trust your eyes

It's easy to believe them

Know in your heart

That you can leave your prison

 

Blame, no one is to blame

As natural as the rain that falls

Here comes the flood again

"I Believe" - Robert Plant

 

Tears, tears at the water's edge

Hey little sister

There is laughter instead

Tears for the teacher

From the eyes, from the soul

This restless spirit

Takes the long way back home

Like the wind, you are free

Just a whisper

I hear you so talk to me

 

I believe eye to eye

Say brothers, sisters

See your brothers in the sky

Neighbor, neighbor

Don't be so cold

There's only glory in the story untold

 

Big fire on top of the hill

A hopeless gesture and last farewell

Tears from your mother

From the pits of her soul

Look at your father

See his blood run cold

Like the wind you are free

Just a whisper

I hear you so talk to me

Oh talk to me, oh talk to me, oh talk to me

 

I believe eye to eye

Say brothers, sisters

See your brothers in the sky

Neighbor, neighbor

Don't be so cold

There's so much glory to the story untold

 

I believe, I believe, I believe

"Dying In The Sun" - The Cranberries

https://youtu.be/__YPiDAjrsI

 

Do you remember

The things we used to say

I feel so nervous

When I think of yesterday

 

How could I let things

Get to me so bad

How did I let things get to me

 

Like dying in the sun

Like dying in the sun

Like dying in the sun

Like dying

 

Will you hold on to me

I am feeling frail

Will you hold on to me

We will never fail

 

I wanted to be so perfect you see

I wanted to be so perfect

 

Like dying in the sun

Like dying in the sun

Like dying in the sun

Like dying

Unhappy Song

By Lloyd Cole

 

They were married in June

She was gone before the leaves were even turning

She said "well, I knew he was a fool, but I

Somehow thought my welfare concerned him"

 

Must the one always have to change

Whilst the other must always remain

Must the cards all be dealt facing down?

Turn away, turn away, turn your blue skies to grey

 

Now, when it comes to September

I`ve got my own unhappy song

October, November, December,

And still she is gone;

 

Unhappy song

He was torn between the romance and the mundane

He was torn every morning

He was surprised or was he horrified to find

 

The mundane the more rewarding

She was upon him before he even knew it

And anyone who had a hat would surely know:

It only rains when you leave it at home,

 

And all the umbrellas are broke,

Oh, save yourself a fiver, you`re already soaking

Come on, September

And sing me that old unhappy song

 

October, November, December,

And still she is gone;

Unhappy song

Well, there was ice beneath the snow

 

And everywhere else was closed,

But the locks had been changed

Sure, the neighbors were the same, they said

"You never should treat someone so bad"
