So, this is by Blue Rodeo. I love the chorus-thingy on in. *shrugs* And I love hearing Rex Goudie sing it . . . but that's a whole other story. ;D
Tell me one more time again Just like I didn't hear you Like I don't know what's going through your mind, I do I play the same game too I know it's hard to stop Even when you want to
Now the moon lights up your face And I can see you're crying You never liked me to see you cry, it's true I've done some crying too now the hardest part about it Is trying to hide it from you
It would be great to be so strong Never needed anybody else to carry on But we're so scared of the silence and the tricks that we use Oh we're careful and we're cunning, but we're easily bruised I don't want to lie about it I'm not bulletproof
Well I finally found the way To hide from all your glances Til the waiting game we play is through I can, but what's the use When all I really want to do is hide out with you
It would be great to be so strong You never needed anybody's help to get along We're so scared of the silence and the language that we use Yeah we're careful and we're cunning, but we're easily bruised I don't want to kid about it I'm not bulletproof
Tell me one more time again Well I guess I didn't hear you I don't know all the secrets that you keep inside I tried the same thing too But they all come pouring out of me when I'm talking to you
Well, it would be great to be so strong You never needed anybody else's help to carry on But I'm not waking up each morning with forgiveness I can use No I'm careless, and I'm cruel, but I'm still easily bruised
I'm so tired of lying about it I'm not bulletproof No, and I'm not going to lie about it I'm not bulletproof

Yea yea. I'm posting another dark song. But for some reason this one in particular struck me. Subtle ironies, twisted metaphors . . . ok sue me. I'm catching that stuff now, because I've been enlightened by my American Lit. class. This one's called Reminissions. I was struck by the contrast between the anger and the sorrow in this song . . . and yea.
With this ink in our skin we've sealed our fate, and the axe comes early (only naturally) So what does that matter? There's a bed of skeletons waiting for me, on the other side They're waiting for my next move (next fatal breath) Human lives to me seem so unreal, can't see through the fog (nothing past a grey wall) see past the stereotype Belief, structure built up in you. I'll tear you down and the one who created you
If they didn't have One how would they act? If we didn't have hope how would we behave? Would they still feel remorse if they slaughtered innocent beings? Or is hope the only thing that keeps you sane?
A good friend once told me we are our memory without it we equal nothing And all I can see is the place I wanna be Suddenly my life was so free Leaves at my feet, blown to the ground their echoes are reaching my ears Nights coming fast, suns going down But keep away from me... keep away from me
(it's hard, to keep me in this place, keep away from me)
We may have created the beginning, mentally We may have created the beginning, physically To the end of our human existence...
I see through you The fear that's in your eyes
A good friend once told me we are our memory Without it we equal nothing And all I can see is the place I wanna be Timeless my life was so free Leaves at my feet, blown to the ground their echoes are reaching my ears Nights coming fast, suns going down - confused I don't know the answers but neither do you.

Ever seen Man on Fire? There's this song called "Una Palabra" at the end. I just heard it today and started obsessing over it. (Email me for the mp3) The tune is kinda sad...wistful.
Una palabra no dice nada y al mismo tiempo lo esconde todo igual que el viento que esconde el agua como las flores que esconde el lodo.
Una mirada no dice nada y al mismo tiempo lo dice todo como la lluvia sobre tu cara o el viejo mapa de algun tesoro. como la lluvia sobre tu cara o el viejo mapa de algun tesoro.
Una verdad no dice nada y al mismo tiempo lo esconde todo como una hoguera que no se apaga como una piedra que nace polvo.
Si un dia me faltas no sere nada y al mismo tiempo lo sere todo porque en tus ojos estan mis alas y esta la orilla donde me ahogo, porque en tus ojos estan mis alas y esta la orilla donde me ahogo.
________________________________ Translation
A word does not say anything And at the same time it hides everything Just as the wind that hides the water Like the flowers that mud hides.
A glance does not say anything And at the same time it says everything Like rain on your face Or an old treasure map
A truth does not say anything And at the same time it hides everything Like a bonfire that does not go out Like a stone that is born dust.
If one day you need me, I will be nothing And at the same time I will be everything Because in your eyes are my wings And the shore where I drown, Because in your eyes are my wings And the shore where I drown

Kutless. *wheet* This is only a wee bit of it, but I've had 'Hearts of the Innocent' stuck in my head for the past week. >_<
"I'm looking down into the eyes of hopelessness They're crying out to me I see the pain It's so much more than youth should know It tears me apart What can I do to change what I see This vicious cycle must come to an end"

You decided long ago To let Me into your deepest soul. You have given Me a private place. Then somehow you let it fade away. I know you so well, and I can tell When you've been hiding something from Me. Just let it go, let My love flow; Let it bring you release.
I have come to breathe new life Into the heart of a child of Mine. I have come to give you peace. So lift your head and believe.
You were made in a beautiful way; Born to be holy and sure of your faith. Something inside you has led you astray. Now you're locked in a struggle, And it won't go away. I know you have been down on your knees. I saw you cryin' for mercy. Well, how can I help when you're still holdin' on To somethin' more precious than Me?
I have come to breathe new life Into the heart of a child of Mine. I have come to lift you up, To set you free, so believe.
It's all about total surrender, It's all about total surrender, It's all about total surrender, Givin' it up when the goin' gets tough, Givin' it up when the goin' gets rough. Oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh.
[Spoken:] I have come (I have come) To breathe new life (breathe new life) Into the heart of a child of Mine (child of Mine).
I have come to set you free. So lift your head and believe. I have come to breathe new life Into the heart of a child of Mine. I have come to set you free. So lift your head and believe. I have come, (I) I have come, (I) I have come, (I) I have come.
Some parts of this song don't grab me... but the second verse I really like.

Woot. I'm reviving a revival.
When I see your smile Tears run down my face I can't replace And now that I'm stronger I've figured out How this world turns cold and breaks through my soul And I know I'll find deep inside me I can be the one
I will never let you fall I'll stand up with you forever I'll be there for you through it all Even if saving you sends me to heaven
It's ok. It's ok. It's ok. Seasons are changing And waves are crashing And stars are falling all for us Days grow longer and nights grow shorter I can show you I'll be the one
I will never let you fall I'll stand up with you forever I'll be there for you through it all Even if saving you sends me to heaven
Cuz you're my, you're my, my true love, my whole heart Please don't throw that away Cuz I'm here for you Please don't walk away, Please tell me you'll stay, stay
Use me as you will Pull my strings just for a thrill And I know I'll be ok Though my skies are turning gray
I will never let you fall I'll stand up with you forever I'll be there for you through it all Even if saving you sends me to heaven -"Your Guardian Angel," Red Jumpsuit Apparatus ~ "The Night Pat Murphy Died"
Oh the night that Paddy Murphy died, is a night I'll never forget Some of the boys got loaded drunk, and they ain't got sober yet; As long as a bottle was passed around every man was feelin' gay O'Leary came with the bagpipes, some music for to play
[Chorus:]
That's how they showed their respect for Paddy Murphy That's how they showed their honour and their pride; They said it was a sin and shame and they winked at one another And every drink in the place was full the night Pat Murphy died
As Mrs. Murphy sat in the corner pouring out her grief Kelly and his gang came tearing down the street They went into an empty room and a bottle of whiskey stole They put the bottle with the corpse to keep that whiskey cold
[Chorus]
About two o'clock in the morning after empty'ing the jug Doyle rolls up the ice box lid to see poor Paddy's mug We stopped the clock so Mrs. Murphy couldn't tell the time And at a quarter after two we argued it was nine
[Chorus]
They stopped the hearse on George Street outside Sundance Saloon They all went in at half past eight and staggered out at noon They went up to the graveyard, so holy and sublime Found out when they got there, they'd left the corpse behind!
[Chorus]
Oh the night that Paddy Murphy died, is a night I'll never forget Some of the boys got loaded drunk and they ain't been sober yet; As long as a bottle was passed around every man was feelin' gay O'Leary came with the bagpipes, some music for to play
[Chorus] -Great Big Sea

lol.
"the gift" --seether
Hold me now I need to feel relief Like I never wanted anything I suppose I'll let this go and find a reason I'll hold on to I'm so ashamed of defeat And I'm out of reason to believe in me I'm out of trying to get by
I'm so afraid of the gift you give me I don't belong here and I'm not well I'm so ashamed of the lie I'm living Right on the wrong side of it all
I can't face myself when I wake up And look inside a mirror I'm so ashamed of that thing I suppose I'll let it go Untill I have something more to say for me I'm so afraid of defeat And I'm out of reason to believe in me I'm out of trying to defy
I'm so afraid of the gift you give me I don't belong here and I'm not well I'm so ashamed of the lie I'm living Right on the wrong side of it all
Hold me now I need to feel complete Like I matter to the one I need
I'm so afraid of the gift you give me I don't belong here and I'm not well I'm so ashamed of the lie I'm living Right on the wrong side of it all
Now I'm ashamed of this I am so ashamed of this Now I'm so ashamed of this I am so ashamed of me...

Mmm, good song, Mel. I haven't heard anything by Seether in ages, I'll have to get that one.
I was gonna send this song to ma sis last night, but since she has a final exam at college today I figured I'd wait until after she finished. Lol.
College Kids by Relient K
Someone please save us, us college kids! What my parents told me is what I did They said go to school and be a college kid But in the end I question why I did
Im poor, Im starving, Im flat broke, Ive got no cash to spend Sell all my books for front row tickets to dave matthews band My girlfriends at another school, I know this year will test her I called, found out she had three other boyfriends last semester
And thats why I say Oh no! not for me, not for me Call it torture, call it university No! arts and crafts is all I need Ill take calligraphy and then Ill make a fake degree
80 grand later I found out that all that I had learned Is that you should show up to take your finals and your midterms The party scene is kinda mean, I think its sick and twisted The navy showed up at my dorm and claimed that I enlisted
And thats why I say Oh no! not for me, not for me Call it torture, call it university No! arts and crafts is all I need Ill take calligraphy and then Ill make a fake degree
Dont get excited. shell say no without a doubt you see And Ive decided college girls just wont go out with me They make me nervous and they always catch me off my guard Like cell phone services I drop out cause college is too hard
Its time to call my father Cause its his alma mater Good grades arent what they seem I think he knows the dean Its time to call my father Cause its his alma mater He says hes proud of me But college always was his dream And I would always say its not for me
Oh no! not for me, not for me Call it torture, call it university No! arts and crafts is all I need Ill take calligraphy and then Ill make a fake degree
Someone please save us, us college kids! What my parents told me is what I did They said go to school and be a college kid But in the end I question why I did
Do what will make you happy Do what you feel is right Only but one thing matters Learn how to live your life
[in background:] (phi, beta, delta, cappa Someone please save us, us college kids! What my parents told me is what I did They said go to school and be a college kid But in the end I question why I did)
Do what will make God happy Do what you feel is right Only but one thing matters Learn how to live your life

I think this song is pretty good...The Blues by Switchfoot.
Switchfoot Blues Lyrics Is this the New Year Or just another night? Is this the new fear Or just another fright? Is this the new tear Or just another desperation?
Is this the finger Or just another fist? Is this the kingdom or just a hit-and-miss? A misdirection, most of all this Desperation
Is this what they call freedom? Is this what you call pain? Is this what they call discontented Fame? It'll be a day like this one When the world caves in When the world caves in When the world caves in
I'm singing this one Like a broken piece of glass For broken arms and broken noses In the back Is this the New Year Or just another desperation?
You push until you're shoving You bend until you break Do you stand on the broken field Where your fathers lay? It'll be a day like this one When the world caves in When the world caves in When the world caves in When the world caves in When the world caves in When the world caves in
There's nothing here worth saving
There's no one here at all Is there any net left That could break our fall? It'll be a day like this one When the sky falls down When the hungry and poor And deserted are found
Are you discontented? Have you been pushing hard? Have you been throwing down This broken house of cards? It'll be a day like this one When the world caves in When the world caves in When the world caves in
Is there nothing left now? Nothing left to sing? Are there any left Who haven't kissed the enemy? Is this the New Year or just another desperation? Yeah, yeah
Does justice ever find you? Do the wicked never lose? Is there any other song To sing besides these blues? And nothing is OK Till the world caves in Till the world caves in Till the world caves in Till the world caves in Till the world caves in Till the world caves in Till the world caves in Till the world caves in Till the world caves in Till the world caves in Till the world caves in
