"And I'll find peace at the bottom of a big, tall, cold drink..."

[DirtyMagic97]

The Safety Fire- Old Souls

 

Bare feet on a stool
Neck attached to the ceiling
By a length of rope
His last words read
A debt too great to pay
'I must end myself'
A shadow enters
All dressed for business
He whispers a last word
In the noosed man´s ear
His soul flies, the reaper jar

The marksman returns for his bullet back
You´ll sell your body to get this soul back
Value in submission

It ends in the minute when they
Forgot their own name
Living his life caught in a forgotten dream
Standing there mouthing silent pointless...

He walks ill at ease
Through the dregs of the city
Man with a mask made of skull
The reaper´s enemy
To not let them go
He lost his name to the bottom of oceans
Unpayable debt
Echoes of life
His soul flies, the reaper jar

The marksman returns for his bullet back
You´ll sell your body to get this soul back
Value in submission

It ends in the minute when they
Forgot their own name
Living his life caught in a forgotten dream
Standing there mouthing silent pointless...

Where the water meets the sky
With the moon submerged
Here is where we´ll sell them
Dead of night 

Echoes of life contained within a jar
The rarest matter in creation
Traded and sold

[DirtyMagic97]

Also- a girl posts here? Aren't we supposed to be uber stalkery? Or has that already happened?

[TheRumGone]

Well!
Well!
Well!
Well!

We spun like birds on fire right down towards the residence and I
I took all that I desired, even crooks have to pay the rent.
We swam like rats on fire right, right down the reservoir
We took all that we could carry but we tried to carry more.

And you know you know you know it all went wrong.
And you know you know you know it was all wrong.

We choked on street tap water well I'm gonna have to try the real thing
I took your laugh by the collar and it knew not to swing.
Anytime I tried an honest job well the till had a hole and ha-ha
We laughed about payin' rent 'cause the county jails they're free.

And you know you know you know it all went wrong.
And you know you know you know it was all wrong.

Deep water, deep water
Senseless denial
I went down like a rag doll as you would, child
Deep water, deep water
Senseless denial
I went down like a rag doll as you would, child

Oh, lucky lucky lucky lucky me again.
I said it looks like I've got to use my feet again
Well I just spent my last one-hundred dollars
God I'll pay my bill again

Oh, I don't care
Oh, how I just don't care.

Deep water, deep water
Senseless denial
I went down like a rag doll shooken and shy
Deep water, deep water
Senseless denial
I went down like a rag doll rat of a child

Well King rat has me on his list again
I can never be on the fence again
I found out it's all loud
Open like an organ and it
Talk, talk, talk, talk again
He promised me that when I cheated him
But I could open my eye well

Lucky, lucky, lucky, lucky, lucky,
Lucky, lucky, lucky, lucky, lucky me again.

Deep water, deep water
This senseless denial
I got fed like a fish, full of open smiles
Blue water, deep water
Oh senseless denial
I got fed like a fish on the cardboard smiles

Well well
What do you have to say for yourself?
I said, well well
Well?
I said well, well, well, well!

Lucky, lucky, lucky, lucky me again.
I hardly knew I should use my feet again
What do you have to say for yourself?
What do you have to say for yourself?

Chuck Berry: My Ding a Ling

 

 

"My Ding A Ling"
 

When I was a little bitty boy
my grandmother bought me a cute little toy
Silver bells hangin' on a string
she told me it was my ding a ling

My ding a ling, my ding a ling
I want to play with my ding a ling
My ding a ling, my ding a ling
I want to play with my ding a ling

And then mother took me to Grammer School
But I stopped all in the vestibule
Every time that bell would ring
catched me playin' with my ding a ling

Once I was climbing the garden wall
I slipped and had a terrible fall
I fell so hard I heard bells ring
but held on to my ding a ling

Once I was swimming cross Turtle creek
many snappers all around my feet
Shure was hard swimming cross that thing
with both hands holdin' my ding a ling

This here song it ain't so sad
the cutest little song you ever had
those of you who will not sing
You must be playin' with your own ding a ling
My ding a ling Your ding a ling, your ding a ling
We saw you playin' with your ding a ling
My ding a ling everybody sing
I want to play with my ding a ling

Creep Radiohead

One of my favorites

When you were here before

Couldn't look you in the eye

You're just like an angel

Your skin makes me cry

You float like a feather

In a beautiful world

I wish I was special

You're so f***king special

But I'm a creep

I'm a weirdo

What the hell am I doing here?

I don't belong here

I don't care if it hurts

I want to have control

I want a perfect body

I want a perfect soul

I want you to notice

When I'm not around

You're so f***king special

I wish I was special

[Montsta]

Tupac's Hit Em Up gets me every time:

First off, fug your bitch and the click you claim.

[TheRumGone]

Tupac's Hit Em Up gets me every time:

First off, fug your bitch and the click you claim.

You claim to be a playa but I fuged your wife

[lola]

I want you to love me

Like I'm a hot ride

Be thinkin of me

Doin' what you like

Soy boy forget about the world

Cause it's gon' be me and you tonight

I wanna make you beg for it

An I'ma make you swallow your pride

Want you to make me feel like I'm the only girl in the world

Like I'm the only one that you'll ever love

Like I'm the only one who knows your heart

Want you to take me

Like a thief in the night

Hold me like a pillow

Make me feel right

I'll tell you all my secrets I've been keeping

You can come inside

And when you enter you ain't leaving

Be my prisoner for the night

[Seal (SmittyIsOurSavior)]

Damn I have so many songs that I can get lost in and mean a ton to me. How about Lupe's "Beautiful Lasers" for back in the times of depression?

 

There's only 2 ways out of here
You'll be too late, you'll be trapped here forever
There's only 2 ways out of here
One's through the door, the other's through me

Sometimes living in a world like this
It's pretty hard not to go insane
Not pretty if you don't comply
Pretty easy if you don't complain
Stand there like you don't feel pain
No tears in the face of defeat
Pretend til the end that you don't feel change
Don't admit that your faith is weak
Don't say that you feel like dying
Life's hard and it feels like diamonds
Your home's just far too gone
Much too late to even feel like trying
Can't understand what I'm saying
Can't figure out what I'm implying
If you feel you don't wanna be alive
You feel just how I am
I'm on the dark side
And you can't come find him
How when it's light all around you
But it's dark all inside him
No winners when it's me against me
One of us just ain't gonna survive
My heart been broke for a while
Yours been the one keeping me alive

This world is such a f*cked up place
My mind's such a f*cked up shape
Everything down here sucks
Maybe what's up there is great
We all gotta go one day
I just wanna cut to the chase
I wanna stop these nightmares
I just wanna touch your face ( <-- he changes his voice for this line; I've interpreted it as being from the perspective of the gun, speaking to him)
All you see is all my feats
All I see is all my flaws
All I hear is all my demons
Even through your applause
All you see is all my flights
While all I see is all my falls
All you see is all my rights
All I see is all my wrongs
Door, keep telling me to fight
Gun on my table telling me to come home
Telling me to put him inside my hand
Then put it up right next to my dome
Door keep telling me to find a reason
Anything to keep me from squeezing
Simplest things, yeah, you really like summer
You really like music, you really like reading, Love
I can't win if it's me against me
One of us ain't gonna survive
And my heart been broke for a while
Yours been the one keeping me alive

[Seal (SmittyIsOurSavior)]

Here's a couple of line's from Cudi's Soundtrack 2 My Life. Another introspective anthem IMO.

 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

"No sitcom could teach Scott about the dram

Or even explain the troubles that haunted my mom"

 

"She copped the toys I would play with in my room by myself

Why he by himself?"

 

"But they all didn't see, the little bit of sadness in me"

 

"I've got some issues that nobody can see

And all of these emotions are pouring out of me

I bring them to the light for you It's only right

This is the soundtrack to my life"

 

"I'm super paranoid, like a 6th sense

Since my father died, I ain't been right since

And I tried to piece the puzzle of the universe

Split an eighth of shrooms just so I could see the universe

I tried to think about myself as a sacrifice

Just to show the kids they ain't the only ones who up at night

The moon will illuminate my room and soon I'm consumed by my doom

Once upon a time nobody gave a f*ck

It's all said and done and my cock's been sucked

So now I'm in the cut, alcohol in the wound

My heart's an open sore that I hope heals soon

I live in a cocoon opposite of Cancun

Where it is never sunny, the dark side of the moon

So it's more than right, I try to shed some light on it, man

Not many people of this planet understand, fam"

 

"It's close to go and trying some coke

And a happy ending would be slitting my throat

Ignorance to cope man, ignorance is bliss

Ignorance is love, and I need that sh*t"

 

"And I get both, never truly satisfied

I am happy, that's just the saddest lie"
 

[Seal (SmittyIsOurSavior)]

Not relevant right now in my life, but this is a brilliantly written song by Mr Ed Sheeran about that liquid comfort people often turn to after a falling out.

 

-------------------------------------------------

 

I wanna be drunk when I wake up

On the right side of the wrong bed

And never an excuse that I made up

Tell you the truth I hate what didn't kill me

It never made me stronger at all.

 

Love will scar your make-up, lip sticks to me

So now I maybe lean back there

I'm sat here wishing I was sober

I know I'll never hold you like I used to. 

 

But a house gets cold when you cut the heating

Without you to hold I'll be freezing

Can't rely on my heart to beating

Cause you take parts of it every evening

Take words out of my mouth just from breathing

Replace with phrases like when you're leaving me. 

 

Should I, should I?

Maybe I'll get drunk again

I'll be drunk again

I'll be drunk again

To feel a little love. 

 

I wanna hold your heart in both hands

Not watch it fizzle at the bottom of a Coke can

And I got no plans for the weekend

So should we speak then

Keep it between friends

Though I know you'll never love me like you used to. 

 

There may be other people like us

Who see the flicker of the clipper when they light up

Flames just create us but burns don't heal like before

And you don't hold me anymore. 

 

On cold days cold plays out like the band's name

I know I can't heal things with a hand shake

You know I can't change as I began saying

You cut me wide open like landscape

Open bottles of beer but never champagne

To applaud you with the sound that my hands make. 

 

Should I, should I?

Maybe I'll get drunk again

I'll be drunk again

I'll be drunk again

To feel a little love. 

 

All by myself

I'm here again

All by myself

You know I'll never change

All by myself

All by myself

 

I'm just drunk again

I'll be drunk again

I'll be drunk again

To feel a little love.

[cookinbrak]

Sometimes I drinks a little, and I play ths song. Not to feel bad, but to say "Fug you, bitch, I rose above you".

 

Ian Hunter - Irene Wilde

 

When I was just sixteen - I stood waiting for a dream -
At barker street bus station every night
When I tried to get it on - she just looked at me with scorn - my courage
Turned to dust and I took flight

For those looks they seemed to say
You ain't nuthin' - go away
You're just a face in the crowd so I went home and I vowed
I'm gonna be somebody - someday

Her name was irene wilde - oh such beauty for a child
When she started dating boys - I nearly died
For I could not barely stand to see someone hold her hand
I felt I had to crawl away and hide
In my mother's living room I composed so many tunes
All the same - just a frame - for her name, and just to say
Gonna be somebody - someday

Wild as your name I soon left that country town
I been around, seen some fame, seen some ups and seen some downs
Smile through your shock when you hear your name aloud
It's that face in the crowd - didn't dig it - much too proud...

When I was just sixteen I stood waiting for a dream
A barker street bus station non affair
At the time it seemed so sad, but it did not turn out bad
If you hadn't messed me up I'd still be there
And I think most folks agree, a little put-down makes them see
They ain't no chain - just a link and that's why you made me think
Gonna be somebody - be somebody - be somebody - someday

 

[Hammerin'Cameron34]

How do you want it, how do you feel?

Growin up as a nigga in the cash game livin in the fast lane I'm for real
