Natalie Imbruglia - Torn (but just part of it)

nothings fine Im torn

Im all out of faith, this is how I feel
Im cold and I am shamed lying naked on the floor
Illusion never changed into something real
Im wide awake and I can see the perfect sky is torn
Youre a little late, Im already torn

So I guess the fortune tellers right
Should have seen just what was there and not some holy light
To crawl beneath my veins and now
I dont care, I have no luck, I dont miss it all that much
Theres just so many things that I cant touch, Im torn

Im all out of faith, this is how I feel
A friend is someone who believes in you even when you've ceased to believe in yourself. (unknown)

Bayside - Existing in a Crisis (Evelyn)

I'm so tired of the stupid games you play.
If I sat outside would you come watch me wait?
If I had a gun and shot it at your face,
would you promise not to get out of the way?

If you happen to be able to avoid
My first attack, I'll put a knife against your throat
and cut an inch for every time I lost my self-control
and you made me do the things I did at night when I got home

But I thought you'd change, but I realize that today, today

Evelyn, I know you lied. But I'll tell you that I'm alive for the first time
and I'm begging you to leave here now. I'm begging you to stay away from me.
I know you lied. I'll tell you that I'm alive for the first time
and I'm begging you to leave here now. I'm begging you to die painfully.

Oh, painfully...

So this brings us to the backup of my plan.
Maybe I'll just have to strangle you with my bare hands.
Then you'll have to adhere to my demands
and occupy a shallow grave, as shallow as you are.

But I thought they'd change but things just stayed the same, the same

Evelyn, I know you lied. But I'll tell you that I'm alive for the first time
and I'm begging you to leave here now. I'm begging you to stay away from me.
I know you lied. But I'll tell you that I'm alive for the first time
and I'm begging you to leave here now. I'm begging you to die...

Sometimes content leads, leads to stagnant and stagnant leads to contempt.
Contempt leads to the present.

Sometimes content leads, leads to stagnant and stagnant leads to contempt.

But I thought you'd change, but things just stayed the same, the same

and I'm begging you to leave here now. I'm begging you to stay away from me.

Artist: She Wants Revenge
Title: Broken Promises For Broken Hearts

Pay attention my love cause its over
At the tip of my tongue is the price you weren't willing to pay
Still this is something akin to a breakdown
And your impression of a woman supposed to be easy to see
That there'd be torn up photos and lonely nights
Cursing crying and drawn out fights
Make up sex and a brand new start
Broken promises for broken hearts

When you look back now was it special?
Or was it nothing but anecdote that you can tell now and then
I delude myself it was worth it
Even though from the beginning I could see exactly how it would end

That there'd be torn up photos and lonely nights
Cursing crying and drawn out fights
Make up sex and a brand new start
Broken promises for broken hearts
Torn up photos and lonely nights
Cursing crying and drawn out fights
Make up sex and a brand new start
Broken promises for broken hearts

I wanna wish you away, I wanna wish you away
I wanna wish you away, I wanna wish you away?
I wana kiss you away

Torn up photos and lonely nights
Cursing crying and drawn out fights
Make up sex and a brand new start
Broken promises for broken hearts

"the drugs don't work" by The Verve...


All this talk of getting old
It's getting me down my love
Like a cat in a bag, waiting to drown

This time I'm comin' down
And I hope you're thinking of me
As you lay down on your side

Now the drugs don't work
They just make you worse

But I know I'll see your face again
Now the drugs don't work
They just make you worse

But I know I'll see your face again

But I know I'm on a losing streak
'Cause I passed down my old street
And if you wanna show
then just let me know
And I'll sing in your ear again

Now the drugs don't work
They just make you worse

But I know I'll see your face again

'Cause baby
if heaven calls
I'm coming too
Just like you said
if you leave my life
I'm better off dead

All this talk of getting old
It's getting me down my love
Like a cat in a bag
waiting to drown
This time I'm comin' down

Now the drugs don't work
They just make you worse
But I know I'll see your face again

'Cause baby
if heaven calls
I'm coming too
Just like you said
if you leave my life
I'm better off dead

But if you wanna show
then just let me know
And I'll sing in your ear again

Now the drugs don't work
They just make you worse

But I know I'll see your face again

Yeah, I know I'll see your face again x4

I'm never coming down, no I'm never coming down
No more, no more, no more, no more, no more x2

This song describes how I feel right now.....It's called "Bother" by Stone Sour

Wish I was too dead to cry
My self-affliction fades
Stones to throw at my creator
Masochists to which I cater

You don't need to bother;
I don't need to be
I'll keep slipping farther
But once I hold on,
I won't let go 'til it bleeds

Wish I was too dead to care
If indeed I cared at all
Never had a voice to protest
So you fed me shit to digest
I wish I had a reason;
my flaws are open season
For this, I gave up trying
One good turn deserves my dying

You don't need to bother;
I don't need to be
I'll keep slipping farther
But once I hold on,
I won't let go 'til it bleeds

Wish I'd died instead of lived
A zombie hides my face
Shell forgotten
with its memories
Diaries left
with cryptic entries

And you don't need to bother;
I don't need to be
I'll keep slipping farther
But once I hold on,
I won't let go 'til it bleeds

You don't need to bother;
I don't need to be
I'll keep slipping farther
But once I hold on
I'll never live down my deceit

As if it happening wasn't enough
I got to go and write a song
just to remind myself how bad it sucked
Ignore the sun, covers over my head
Wrote a message on my pillow that says
"Jesse, stay asleep in bed"
Don't apologize (I hope you choke and die!)

Another crowded dance floor
Another empty glass
Another failed hello
It's your alibi
Another splendid lie
It's the bruises that you can't show

It's another lonely sunset
Another starless sky
The nervousness inside
It's the final kiss from a lover's fist
It's the reason why you can't cry

It's a violent reaction
The mixtape in your heart
The answer you should know
How we complicate, a simple mistake
It's the face you make when I go

And we tried to change
The city noise made us strange
So we plugged our ears and learned to fight
We set the stage but we could not engage so we cut all ties by candlelight

Another deep depression
The calm before the storm
The shaking in your head
How you sacrificed - how you paid the price
All the words you wish you had said

It's the rawest of emotions
Drinking to forget - names written in the snow
It's the anxious feel - purging your last meal
It's the secret that you can't know

And we tried to change
The city noise made us strange
So we plugged our ears and learned to fight
We set the stage but we could not engage so we cut all ties by candlelight


City Noise--Scarling
<i>I am innocent and I have been set free
I no longer have chains around my feet
And no matter where I go or what they say
I am innocent</i> --Third Day

Fuck it- Seether

I guess I like it when we play
(The way you drag me down)
I guess I like it when you hate me
(The way you drag me down)
‘Cause I can’t face myself in a mirror
(I’m left alone with all my pain)
And I disgrace myself in the mirror
(I’m left alone with my shame)

Fuck it! I see you in me
Fuck it! I feel you in me
Fuck it! I’ll heal you in me
Fuck it! I see you in me
Fuck it! I feel you in me
Fuck it! I’ll heal you in me

I guess I like it when we fight
(The way you drag me down)
I guess I like it when you smite me
(The way you drag me down)
‘Cause I can’t face myself in a mirror
(I’m left alone with all my pain)
And I disgrace myself in the mirror
(I’m left alone with my shame)

Fuck it! I see you in me
Fuck it! I feel you in me
Fuck it! I’ll heal you in me
Fuck it! I see you in me
Fuck it! I feel you in me
Fuck it! I’ll heal you in me

You’re out of luck - can’t get a piece of me
It’s all blown up. Don’t even fuck with me.
I cannot please you all forever
I cannot please you at all
(I can feel you coming up behind me)

Fuck it! I see you in me
Fuck it! I feel you in me
Fuck it! I’ll heal you in me
Fuck it! I see you in me
Fuck it! I feel you in me
Fuck it! I’ll heal you in me

A few years ago and still occasionally it's Asleep by the Smiths

Sing me to sleep
Sing me to sleep
I don't want to wake up on my own anymore...


Now it's often the music form the soundtrack to Requiem For a Dream (Kronos Quartet and Clint Mansell) it is haunting and desperate and without hope... Also Fleetwood Mac Landslide

I've been afraid of changing
Cos I built my life around you

"Thirty-Three"

Speak to me in a language I can hear
Humour me before I have to go
Deep in thought I forgive everyone
As the cluttered streets greet me once again
I know I can't be late, supper's waiting on the table
Tomorrow's just an excuse away
So I pull my collar up and face the cold, on my own
The earth laughs beneath my heavy feet
At the blasphemy in my old jangly walk
Steeple guide me to my heart and home
The sun is out and up and down again
I know I'll make it, love can last forever
Graceful swans of never topple to the earth
And you can make it last, forever you
You can make it last, forever you
And for a moment I lose myself
Wrapped up in the pleasures of the world
I've journeyed here and there and back again
But in the same old haunts I still find my friends
Mysteries not ready to reveal
Sympathies I'm ready to return
I'll make the effort, love can last forever
Graceful swans of never topple to the earth
Tomorrow's just an excuse
And you can make it last, forever you
You can make it last, forever you

This song really makes me think about my safe person..


Amy says "flyleaf"

Amy says she's all alone
Says the world doesn't even know
About the pain she hides inside
Says happiness is just a lie
Smell the roses; throw them down
Just whisper; don't make a sound
Don't want the world to know the truth
You've been broken and abused
By you


Amy says,
"I see you laughing at the rain that hits your face
With your arms stretched open soaking in the love
In a world I find so hard you find so beautiful
There's a hope in you deep inside for me."


The colors of her mind
Bleed into each other
As the morning melts the night
And the stars enchant another
While her eyes are still held shut
She can hear you breathing softly
Your words echo in her mind
And your words are clear and she knows that you are here

Yes
I see her laughing at the rain that hits her face
With her arms stretched open soaking in the love
In a world she found so hard she finds so beautiful
There's a hope in her deep inside from you


and this just makes me think of me and my bf



Belive in dreams "flyleaf"

I know, the days will come and go,
But baby I’ll grow old, but I will die.
For now, is it worth it to be sad, if it’s harder to be glad to be alive?
For the trouble I have caused
I wonder,
Where do I belong?

Is it here?

Believe in dreams you love so much,
Let the passion of your hearts make them real-
And tell all the ones you love,
Anything and everything you feel.
I laugh about the past-
Secretly,
Wish we could go back,
And save the child...

As I look around this room,
See the worried eyes I know
It’s time I cannot buy
Was this worth the time to rise?
Was this worth the time to rise?

Believe in dreams
I believe in dreams
I believe in dreams
I believe in you

Believe in dreams you love so much,
Let the passion of your hearts make them real
And tell all the ones you love,
Anything and everything you feel…
Believe in dreams
Believe dreams…

Muscle Museum- Muse

She had something to confess to
But you don’t have the time so
Look the other way
You will wait until it's over
To reveal what you’d never shown her
Too little much too late

Too long trying to resist it
You’ve just gone and missed it
It's escaped your world

Can you see that I am needing
Begging for so much more
Than you could ever give
And I don’t want you to adore me
Don’t want you to ignore me
When it pleases you
And I’ll do it on my own


I have played in every toilet
But you still want to spoil it
To prove I’ve made a big mistake
Too long trying to resist it

You’ve just gone and missed it
It's escaped your world

Can you see that I am needing
Begging for so much more
Than you could ever give
And I don’t want you to adore me
Don’t want you to ignore me
When it pleases you
And I’ll do it on my own
I’ll do it on my own
Image

"Heaven's not a place that you go when you die
It's that moment in life when you actually feel alive
So live for the moment
And take this advice, live by every word

Love is just a hoax
so forget anything that you have heard
And live for the moment now"


"VITA YOY EST VIVERE SED VALERE VITA EST."

this song hits me right where it hurts... i've highlighted the spots that really hit hard...

Angel - by Sarah McLachlan

Spend all your time waiting
For that second chance
For a break that would make it ok
There's always one reason
To feel not good enough
And it's hard at the end of the day

I need some distraction
Oh beautiful release
Memory seep from my veins
Let me be empty and weightless
And maybe I'll find some peace tonight

(Chorus)
In the arms of the angel
Fly away from here
From this dark cold hotel room
And the endlessness that you fear
You are pulled from the wreckage
Of your silent reverie
You're in the arms of the angel
May you find some comfort here

So tired of the straight line
And everywhere you turn
There's vultures and thieves at your back
And the storm keeps on twisting
You keep on building the lies
That you make up for all that you lack

It don't make no difference
Escaping one last time
It's easier to believe in this sweet madness oh
Oh this glorious sadness that brings me to my knees

(Chorus)
In the arms of the angel
Fly away from here
From this dark cold hotel room
And the endlessness that you fear
You are pulled from the wreckage
Of your silent reverie
You're in the arms of the angel
May you find some comfort here

You're in the arms of the angel
May you find some comfort here
/May

"Having A Blast"
~Green Day

I'm taking all you down with me
Explosives duct taped to my spine
Nothings gonna change my mind

I won't listen to anyone's last words
There's nothing left for you to say
Soon you'll be dead anyway

No one here is getting out alive
This time I've really lost my mind and I don't care
So close your eyes
And kiss yourself goodbye
And think about the times you spent and what they've meant
To me its nothing...

I'm losing all my happiness
The happiness YOU pinned on me
Loneliness still comforts me

My anger DWELLS inside of me
I'm taking it all out on you
And the shit you put me through

No one here is getting out alive
This time I've really lost my mind and I don't care
So close your eyes
And kiss yourself goodbye
And think about the times you spent and what they've meant
To me its nothing...

Do you ever thing back to another time?
Does it bring you so down that you thought you lost your mind?
Do you ever want to lead a long trail of destruction
and mow down any BULLSHIT that comfronts you?
Do you ever build up all the small things in your head?
To make one problem that adds up to NOTHING
To me its nothing...

Post by falling inside » Wed Jun 21, 2006 12:44 am

o.k. this post is a few months old, so no one will probably read this...

'Falling Inside' is my favourite song (of all time) and I have never connected with a song like this before, it found me when I was right at that place. It's also just a beautiful song (if you've ever heard Katie Noonan sing you'll know why). I've been feeling like this a little more again lately.

Falling Inside (by 'george' ©2003 Katie Noonan)

So, here I go again, I want to say no for the upteenth time
the reins, they're slipping out of my reach
I'm trying to enjoy this ride, if just a little while

I know I'm such a lucky girl, but too much I try
I want to stop a while, step out of the frame
And see with a different lens what I can't clearly see

CHORUS: And I'm falling inside, I'm wanting to escape from this mess I'm in
I'm wanting to, I'm falling inside, falling inside

What we never thought has come
The others seem to play too big a part
The sweeteners soon sour and I crave to taste
The fresh new air and breathe again, alone again

CHORUS: And I'm falling inside, I'm wanting to escape this mess I'm in
I'm wanting to, I'm falling inside, falling inside

BRIDGE: So here I go, I try to explain
Just find myself in circles again
So here we go, we try to explain
Just find ourselves in circles again

So, here I go again, even lucky girl get the blues
But I'm loving this ride when I see full view
And we're all here again, alone again

CHORUS: And I'm falling inside, I'm wanting to escape this mess I'm in
I'm wanting to, I'm falling inside, falling inside

"Ugly"

Are you ugly?
A liar like me?
A user, a lost soul?
Someone you don't know
Money it's no cure
A Sickness so pure
Are you like me?
Are you ugly?

[Chorus]
We are dirt, we are alone
You know we're far from sober!
We are fake, we are afraid
You know it's far from over
We are dirt we are alone
You know we're far from sober!
Look closer, are you like me?
Are you ugly?

Turn a blind eye
Why do I deny?
Medicate me
So I die Happy
A strain of cancer
Chokes the answers
Are you like me?
A liar like me?

[Chorus]

I don't care, you don't care
I'm bitter, you're angry.
You don't care, I don't care
You love you, just like me
I blame you, you blame me
I'm bitter, you're angry.
You don't care, I don't care
You love you, like me

[Chorus]

Are you Ugly? [X3]
