The lyrics aren't much to speak of, but my hat is off to the guy who deciphered them in this video.

 

Chacarron Macarron - El Mudo

 

[VictoriaG]

Lacuna Coil - Falling Again

 

I lay, looking my hands

Search in these lines

I've not the answer

Crying and I don't know

watching the sky

I search an answer

I'm free, free to be

I'm not another liar

I just want to be myself... myself

 

 

And now the beat inside me

is a sort of a cold breeze and I've

never any feeling inside

ruining me...

bring my body

carry it into another world

I know I live... but like a stone I'm falling down

 

I pray, looking to the sky

I can feel this rain

right now it's falling on me

fly, I just want to fly

life is all mine

some days I cry alone,

but I know I'm not the only one

I'm here and another day is gone

I don't want to die...

Please be there when I'll arrive, don't cry... please

 

 

And now the beat inside of me

is a sort of a cold breeze and I've

never any feeling inside

around me...

bring my body

carry it into another world

I know I live... but like a stone I'm falling down

 

And now the beat inside of me

is a sort of a cold breeze and I've

never any feeling inside

around me...

bring my body

carry it into another world

I know I live... but like a stone I'm falling down

Hey You - Pink Floyd

 

Hey you ! out there in the cold

Getting lonely, getting old, can you feel me

Hey you ! Standing in the aisles

With itchy feet and fading smiles, can you feel me

Hey you ! don't help them to bury the light

Don't give in without a fight.

Hey you ! out there on your own

sitting naked by the phone would you touch me

Hey you ! with your ear against the wall

Waiting for someone to call out would you touch me

Hey you ! would you help me to carry the stone

Open your heart, I'm coming home

But it was only a fantasy

The wall was too high as you can see

No matter how he tried he could not break free

And the worms ate into his brain.

Hey you ! out there on the road

Always doing what you're told, can you help me

Hey you ! out there beyond the wall

Breaking bottles in the hall, can you help me

Hey you ! don't tell me there's no hope at all

Together we stand, divided we fall.

[VictoriaG]

Pink Floyd - Echoes

 

Overhead the albatross hangs motionless upon the air

And deep beneath the rolling waves in labyrinths of coral caves

The echo of a distant tide

Comes willowing across the sand

And everything is green and submarine

And no one showed us to the land

And no one knows the wheres or whys

But something stirs and

Something tries

And starts to climb towards the light

Strangers passing in the street

By chance two separate glances meet

And I am you and what I see is me

And do I take you by the hand

And lead you through the land

And help me understand the best I can

And no one calls us to move on

And no one forces down our eyes

And no one speaks

And no one tries

And no one flies around the sun

Cloudless every day you fall

Upon my waking eyes

Inviting and inciting me to rise

And through the window in the wall

Comes streamin in on sunlight wings

A million bright ambassadors of morning

And no one sings me lullabies

And no one makes me close my eyes

So I throw the windows wide

And call to you across the sky.

 

 

 

Pink Floyd - Dogs

 

You gotta be crazy, you gotta have a real need

You gotta sleep on your toes, and when you're on the street

You gotta be able to pick out the easy meat with your eyes closed

And then moving in silently, down wind and out of sight

You gotta strike when the moment is right without thinking.

And after a while, you can work on points for style

Like the club tie, and the firm handshake

A certain look in the eye, and an easy smile

You have to be trusted by the people that you lie to

So that when they turn their backs on you

You'll get the chance to put the knife in.

You gotta keep one eye looking over your shoulder

You know it's going to get harder, and harder, and harder as you get older

And in the end you'll pack up, fly down south

Hide your head in the sand

Just another sad old man

All alone and dying of cancer.

And when you loose control, you'll reap the harvest you have sown

And as the fear grows, the bad blood slows and turns to stone

And it's too late to loose the weight you used to need to throw around

So have a good drown, as you go down, all alone

Dragged down by the stone.

I gotta admit that I'm a little bit confused

Sometimes it seems to me as if I'm just being used

Gotta stay awake, gotta try and shake off this creeping malaise

If I don't stand my own ground, how can I find my way out of this maze?

Deaf, dumb, and blind, you just keep on pretending

That everyone's expendable and no-one has a real friend

And it seems to you the thing to do would be to isolate the winner

And everythings done under the sun

And you believe at heart, everyone's a killer.

Who was born in a house full of pain

Who was trained not to spit in the fan

Who was told what to do by the man

Who was broken by trained personnel

Who was fitted with collar and chain

Who was given a pat on the back

Who was breaking away from the pack

Who was only a stranger at home

Who was ground down in the end

Who was found dead on the phone

Who was dragged down by the stone.

 

 

Evanescence - Tourniquet

 

I tried to kill the pain

But only brought more

(So much more)

 

I lay dying and I'm pouring

Crimson regret

And betrayal

 

I'm dying, praying

Bleeding, I'm screaming

"Am I too lost to be saved?

Am I too lost?"

 

My God, my tourniquet

Return to me salvation

My God, my tourniquet

Return to me salvation

 

Do you remember me?

Lost for so long

Will you be on the other side?

Or will you forget me?

 

I'm dying, praying

Bleeding and screaming

"Am I too lost to be saved?

Am I too lost?"

 

My God, my tourniquet

Return to me salvation

My God, my tourniquet

Return to me salvation

 

Return to me salvation

I long to die

 

My God, my tourniquet

Return to me salvation

My God, my tourniquet

Return to me salvation

 

My wounds cry for the grave

My soul cries for deliverance

Will I be denied Christ?

(Christ)

Tourniquet, my suicide

[Blacksnake89]

Is anyone else loving

?

 

I feel so unsure

as I take your hand and lead you to the dance floor

as the music dies, something in your eyes

calls to mind the silver screen

and all its sad good-byes

 

I'm never gonna dance again

these guilty feet have got no rhythm

though it's easy to pretend

I know you're not a fool

 

I should've known better than to cheat a friend

and waste the chance that I've been given

so I'm never gonna dance again

the way I danced with you

 

Time can never mend

the careless whispers of a good friend

to the heart and mind

ignorance is kind

there's no comfort in the truth

pain is all you'll find

 

I'm never gonna dance again

these guilty feet have got no rhythm

though it's easy to pretend

I know you're not a fool

 

I should've known better than to cheat a friend

and waste this chance that I've been given

so I'm never gonna dance again

the way I danced with you

 

Tonight the music seems so loud

I wish that we could lose this crowd

Maybe it's better this way

We'd hurt each other with the things we'd want to say

 

We could have been so good together

We could have lived this dance forever

But no who's gonna dance with me

Please stay

 

And I'm never gonna dance again

these guilty feet have got no rhythm

though it's easy to pretend

I know you're not a fool

 

Should've known better than to cheat a friend

and waste the chance that I've been given

so I'm never gonna dance again

the way I danced with you

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Never knew what that song was about until Seether covered it. Best cover so far this year by a wide margin.

Unfortunately no not me. I love Seether and the song's lyrics are great but the tempo of the song kinda turns me off to it. I really like their song Rise above this though. With my personal encounters with suicide (friends not me) I'm probably a little bias towards it though.

I'm too tired to go around looking for the song's lyrics but here's the vid.

This cover of their's actually attracted me to them and I'm finding that i like everything I've heard so far. They have good rhythm, and the instrumental talent is there as well as emotional range (my three favorite singers are Lane Staley, Eddie Vedder and Chris Cornell) but before i can say for sure I have to see them perform live. I'm a pretty busy guy so if you could give me a heads up if they come by Atlanta way I'd appreciate it. Testimony to how good they are: they made me like a song that I always hated so that says a lot about them.

 

The latest song to captivate me (though not lyrically) is

 

The White Stripes' 7 Nation Army, (I love the bass guitar, heavy lines here) and the video is pretty trippy(as are all their vids).

 

I'm Gonna fight 'em Off

A Seven Nation Army couldn't hold me back

They're Gonna Rip it off

Taking there Time right behind my back

-

And I'm Talkin' to myself at night

because I can't forget

Back and forth through my mind

behind a cigarette

 

And the message coming from my eye

says leave it alone

-------

Don't want to hear about it

Every single one's got a story to tell

Everyone Knows about it

From the Queen of England To the Hounds of Hell

-

And if I catch ya commin back my way

I'm gonna Sell it to you

And that ain't what you want to hear

but that's what I'll do

-

And the feelin' commin from my bones

says find a home

-------

I'm goin' to Witchita

Far from this opera for evermore

I'm gonna work the straw

Make the sweat drip out of every pore

-

And I'm Bleedin, and I'm Bleedin, and I'm Bleedin,

Right before the Lord

All the words are gonna bleed from me

and I will sing no more

-

And the stings commin from my blood

tell me go back home

 

The lyrics actually make sense to me and I associate them with my own life experiences ( as i do most all music) and to me it's about cutting all ties with anyone that can bring you down by rubbing off their own addictions and weaknesses on you. For WS though I think he's talking about the music industry and Hollywwod.

[rakkar]

I think this song is very good both in music and in lyrics:

 

SKY FLASHINGS

 

BY EARTHSUIT

 

Who keeps the balance in suspended skies

Supporting Earth with inward thrust

Let the audience refocus eyes

On all sky flashings in front of us

Who's seen in the midst of unsealing skies

It's revelation that all can see

And yet our hearts remain hushed inside

Mindless of fantasia we enjoy for free

 

It takes a miracle, kaleidoscope superior

Spinning vortex, bleeding shades of night to day

 

Sovereign pictures center stage

Genius of the cosmic craze

Days and nights keep on and on

God abroad in blended song

 

In our sky flashings

 

Who can deny this pure design

Emanating views never seen

Revealing art to mortal minds

Entranced in our phantasmic dreams

Hallelujah - Leonard Cohen

 

Now I've heard there was a secret chord

That David played, and it pleased the Lord

But you don't really care for music, do you?

It goes like this

The fourth, the fifth

The minor fall, the major lift

The baffled king composing Hallelujah

Hallelujah

Hallelujah

Hallelujah

Hallelujah

 

Your faith was strong but you needed proof

You saw her bathing on the roof

Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you

She tied you

To a kitchen chair

She broke your throne, and she cut your hair

And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah

 

Baby I have been here before

I know this room, I've walked this floor

I used to live alone before I knew you.

I've seen your flag on the marble arch

Love is not a victory march

It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah

 

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

 

There was a time you let me know

What's really going on below

But now you never show it to me, do you?

And remember when I moved in you

The holy dove was moving too

And every breath we drew was Hallelujah

 

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

 

You say I took the name in vain

I don't even know the name

But if I did, well really, what's it to you?

There's a blaze of light

In every word

It doesn't matter which you heard

The holy or the broken Hallelujah

 

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

 

I did my best, it wasn't much

I couldn't feel, so I tried to touch

I've told the truth, I didn't come to fool you

And even though

It all went wrong

I'll stand before the Lord of Song

With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah

 

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah

I didn't find this on the thread but it must be here.

 

Bohemian Rhapsody - Queen

 

 

Is this the real life?

Is this just fantasy?

Caught in a landslide

No escape from reality

Open your eyes

Look up to the skies and see

I'm just a poor boy (poor boy), I need no sympathy

Because I'm easy come, easy go

little high, little low

Anyway the wind blows, doesn't really matter to me, to me

 

Mama, just killed a man

Put a gun against his head

Pulled the trigger, now he's dead

Mama, life had just begun

But now I've gone and thrown it all away

Mama, ooo

Didn't mean to make you cry

If I'm not back again this time tomorrow

Carry on, carry on, as if nothing really matters

 

It's too late, my time has come

Sends shivers down my spine

Body's aching all the time

Goodbye everybody - I've got to go

Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth

Mama, ooo - (anyway the wind blows)

I don't want to die

I sometimes wish I'd never been born at all

 

 

I see a little silhouetto of a man

Scaramouche, scaramouche, will you do the fandango?

Thunderbolts and lightning - very very frightening me

Galileo, Galileo,

Galileo, Galileo,

Galileo Figaro - magnifico-o-o-o

 

I'm just a poor boy nobody loves me

He's just a poor boy from a poor family

Spare him his life from this monstrosity

Easy come easy go - will you let me go

Bismillah! No - we will not let you go - let him go

Bismillah! No - we will not let you go - let him go

Bismillah! No - we will not let you go - let me go

Will not let you go - let me go (never)

Never let you go - let me go

Never let me go - ooo

No, no, no, no, no, no, no -

Oh mama mia, mama mia, mama mia let me go

Beelzebub has the devil put aside for me

for me

for me

for me

 

 

So you think you can stone me and spit in my eye?

So you think you can love me and leave me to die?

Oh baby - can't do this to me baby

Just gotta get out - just gotta get right outta here

 

 

Ooh yeah, ooh yeah

Nothing really matters

Anyone can see

Nothing really matters, nothing really matters, to me

Anyway the wind blows...

http://www.myspace.com/seether Tour dates are on there chances of them comming to Atlanta soon are grim though. I find Seether is fairly simillar to Shinedown. Here's a couple vids from shinedown. Another great band IMO, both are live performances.

Save Me

Some woman actually called my local radio station and freaked out on them for playing save me. They were pissed that they were playing "christian" music and thought that they were trying to ninja convert people. Good ol' Tanner and Drew laughed at her and basically told her to stop trolling.
