Meaningful Song Lyrics

Post 'em if ya got 'em.



"Revolution Calling" - Queensryche

For a price I'd do about anything
Except pull the trigger
For that I'd need a pretty good cause
Then I heard of Dr. X
The man with the cure
Just watch the television
Yeah, you'll see there's something going on

Got no love for politicians
Or that crazy scene in D.C.
It's just a power mad town
But the time is ripe for changes
There's a growing feeling
That taking a chance on a new kind of vision is due

I used to trust the media
To tell me the truth, tell us the truth
But now I've seen the payoffs
Everywhere I look
Who do you trust when everyone's a crook?

Revolution calling
Revolution calling
Revolution calling you
[There's a] Revolution calling
Revolution calling
Gotta make a change
Gotta push, gotta push it on through

I'm tired of all this bullshit
They keep selling me on T.V.
About the communist plan
And all the shady preachers
Begging for my cash
Swiss bank accounts while giving their
Secretaries the slam

They're all in Penthouse now
Or Playboy magazine, million dollar stories to tell
I guess Warhol wasn't wrong
Fame fifteen minutes long
Everyone's using everybody, making the sale

I used to think
That only America's way, way was right
But now the holy dollar rules everybody's lives
Gotta make a million doesn't matter who dies

Revolution calling
Revolution calling
Revolution calling you
[There's a] Revolution calling
Revolution calling
Gotta make a change
Gotta push, gotta push it on through

I used to trust the media
To tell me the truth, tell us the truth
But now I've seen the payoffs
Everywhere I look
Who do you trust when everyone's a crook?

Dream Theater

He seems alone and silent
thoughts remain without an answer
Afraid and uninvited
he slowly drifts away
Moved by desire and fear
Breaking delicate wings
Lifting shadows
off a Dream once broken
She can turn a drop of water
Into an ocean
As the rain is pouring down
Tears of sorrow wash his mind
Drifting with the current
This stream of life flows on
He seems alone and silent
waiting on his hands and knees
The chill of winter's darkness sits quietly
Moved by desire and fear
he takes a few steps away
Lifting shadows
off a Dream once broken
She can turn a drop of water
Into an ocean
And she listens openly
He pours his soul into the water
reflecting the mystery
She carries him away
and the winds die slowly
And she listens openly
And she listens openly
Lifting shadows
off a Dream once broken
She can turn a drop of water
Into an ocean
Lifting Shadows off a Dream
Lifting Shadows off a Dream

[Tala]

NICE!!!!!!

Also Dream Theater:

All your eyes have ever seen
All you've ever heard
Is etched upon my memory
Spoken through my words
All that I take with me
Is all you left behind
We're sharing one eternity
Living in two minds
Linked by an endless thread
Impossible to break.

Love of My Life - Blues Traveler

Music: John Popper
Lyrics: S. Samaroo and John Popper

I just couldn't cry
No matter how hard I try
I knew the love we shared was dead
Until she gave me a letter
With some words she wrote down
And I swear this is what she said
She said...
Love of my life our first night together
We sat in the rain and talked forever
Love of my life your carefree way
Showed me the potential of each and
every day
But love of my life
When you told me today
That my place was gone
In your carefree way
I realized...
She said...
She said love of my life now I finally see
A carefree way wasn't meant for me
The pain I feel you just can't understand
You'd think it as fire, pull away your hand
But love of my life
When you told me today
That my place was gone in your carefree
way
I realized...
You know she realized she must learn for
once on her own not to let her days burn
Because she's alone
She needed to learn for once on her own
not to let her days burn
Because she's alone
She needed to learn for once on her own
not to let her days burn
Because she's alone
She said...
Love of my life your arms were never shy
To hold me tight when I needed to cry
Love of my life you made me believe
And for that I do love you but I know I
must leave
Because love of my life
When you told me today
That my place was gone
In your carefree way
I realized...
Oh yes she realized, and for once so did I
Because it occurred to me the love of my
life was she
And then and only then I started to cry

Scarred....

To Rise, To Fall.
To Hurt, To Hate.
To Want, To Wait.
To Heal, To Save.
Can't hear it
we fear it
awareness won't come near it
Distractive
Reactive
Disguised in spite of time
I never bared my emotion
My passion always strong
I never lost my devotion
but somewhere fate went wrong
Can't let them rape me again
Your venom's not family here
won't let them fill me with
fatalistic remedies
What if the rest of the world
was hopelessly blinded by fear?
Where would my sanctity live?
Suddenly nobody cares.
It's never enough
You're wasting your time
Isn't there something I could say?
You don't understand
You're closing me out
How can we live our lives this way?
You tell me I'm wrong
I'm risking my life
Still, I have nothing in return
I show you my hands
You don't see the scars
Maybe you'll leave me here to burn.
What if the rest of the world
was hopelessly drowning in vain?
Where would our self pity run?
Suddenly everyone cares.
Blood...Heal me
Fear...Change me
Belief will always save me
Blood...Swearing
Fear...Staring
Conviction made aware
Give up on misery
Turn your back on dissent
Leave their distrust behind
Wash your hands of regret
Do you feel you don't know me anymore?
And do you feel I'm afraid of your love?
And how come you don't want me asking?
And how come my heart's not invited?
You say you want everyone happy
Well, we're not laughing.
And how come you don't understand me?
And how come I don't understand you?
Thirty years say we're in this together
So open your eyes.
People in prayer for me
everyone there for me
Sometimes I feel I should face this alone
My soul exposed
It calms me to know that I won't
Blood...Heal me
Fear...Change me
Belief will always save me
Blood...Swearing
Fear...Staring
Conviction made aware
Give up on misery
Turn your back on dissent
Leave their distrust behind
Wash your hands of regret
Blood...Heal me
Fear...Change me
Belief will always save me
Blood...Swearing
Fear...Staring
Conviction made aware
Learning from misery
Staring back at dissent
Leaving distrust behind
I'm inspired and content

Every Kinda People


Said the fight to make ends meet
Keeps a man upon his feet
Holding down his job
Trying to show he can't be bought

Ooh, it takes every kind of people
To make what life's about, yeah
Ooh every kind of people
To make the world go round

Someone's looking for a lead
In his duty to a King or to a creed
Protecting what he feels is right
Fights against wrong with his life

There's no profit in deceit
Honest men know that
Revenge do not taste sweet
Whether yellow, black or white
Each and every man's the same inside

Ooh, It takes every kind of people
To make what life's about, yeah
It takes every kind of people
To make the world go round

You know that love's the only goal
That could bring a peace to any soul
Hey, and every man's the same
He wants the sunshine in his rain

Ooh, It takes every kind of people
To make what life's about, yeah
It takes every kind of people
To make the world go round

It takes every kind of people
To make what life's about, yeah
Every kind of people
To make the world go round

Every kind of people
To make what life's about, yeah
Every kind of people
To make the world go round

[greentea]

REELIN' IN THE YEARS

Your everlasting summer
You can see it fading fast
So you grab a piece of something
That you think is gonna last
You wouldn't know a diamond
If you held it in your hand
The things you think are precious
I can't understand

CHORUS:
Are you reelin' in the years
Stowin' away the time
Are you gatherin' up the tears
Have you had enough of mine

You been tellin' me you're a genius
Since you were seventeen
In all the time I've known you
I still don't know what you mean
The weekend at the college
Didn't turn out like you planned
The things that pass for knowledge
I can't understand

CHORUS

I spend a lot of money
And I spent a lot of time
The trip we made in Hollywood
Is etched upon my mind
After all the things we've done and seen
You find another man
The things you think are useless
I can't understand

CHORUS

[StuartD]

"I just wish I was queer so I could get chicks"

If your ass is a chinese restaurant I?ll have the poo-poo platter
My friend jerry vandergrift kissed me in home ec. class
Later in the afternoon some jarheads in the locker room kicked my ass
I said guys I?m like you I like monster trucks too
Wanna see how many push-ups I can do?
I just wish I was queer so I could get chicks
Chicks dig guys that are
Queer guys that don?t dig
Chicks that don?t dig guys like me
See I?m not queer I?m too ugly
But if I were handsome just imagine how great it would be
Incognito as gay though but not actually that way though pseudo homo phony
Maybe it?s a stupid theory or maybe just stupidity
But if I was a queerbee in the fashion industry
Scoring with a super model would be easy
Cause ?super model? means voluptuous but is also is synonymous with ?super dumb?
Ya see I?d be a good listener so she?d treat me like a sister and soon I?d become
That trusted friend that cares that rubs her back and braids her hair
No it wouldn?t be a week before I?m in her underwear
I wish I was queer so I could get chicks
Chicks dig guys that are
Queer guys that don?t dig
Chicks that don?t dig guys like me
See I?m not queer I?m too ugly
Doesn?t matter what I?m packin? in my denim it?s what?s in my genes
The only smoked meat the only sausage I would eat is made by jimmy dean
See I?m not to keen on the smell of vaseline
No I?m not princess di and I don?t wanna be a queen
I wish I was queer so I could get chicks
Anyway if I were gay I?d have to change my name to dirk or lewis
Hang out with my mom?s hair stylist his name is kip he?s got a lisp he talks like this
And wear my mother?s lingerie learn the songs of broadway
And appreciate depeche mode and avant garde ballet
I wish I was queer so I could get chicks
Chicks dig guys that are
Queer guys that don?t dig
Chicks dig guys that are
Queer guys that don?t dig
Chicks dig guys that are
Queer guys that don?t dig
Chicks that don?t dig guys like me
See I?m not queer I?m too ugly
And I don?t shave my heiny
Don?t shave my heiny
See I?m not queer I?m too ugly

[Tala]

mmmmm....nice

It's all right if you love me
It's all right if you don't
I'm not afraid of you running away, honey
I get the feeling you won't.

There is no sense in pretending.
Your eyes give you away.
Something inside you
is feeling like I do
We've said all there is to say.

Baby
Breakdown, go ahead and give it to me
Breakdown, honey take me through the night
Break down, go ahead, can't you see?
Breakdown it's all right....it's all right....it's all right.

Phish - Contact


The tires are the things on your car that make contact with the road

The car is the thing on the road that takes you back to your abode


The tires are the things on your car that make contact with the road

Bummed is what you are when you go out to your car and it's been towed


I woke up one morning in November and I realized I love you

It's not your headlights in front, your tailpipe, or the skylight above you

It's the way you cling to the road when the wind tries to shove you

I'd never go riding away and come back home without you

[sniperwolf]

"I just wish I was queer so I could get chicks"

that's nice hehe

[Tala]

She never really had a chance
On that fateful moonlit night
Sacrificed without a fight
A victim of her circumstance

Now that I've become aware
And I've exposed this tragedy
A sadness grows inside of me
It all seems so unfair

I'm learning all about my life
By looking through her eyes.

Just beyond the churchyard gate
Where the grass is overgrown
I saw the writing on her stone
I felt like I would suffocate

"In loving memory of our child
So innocent, eyes open wide"
I felt so empty as I cried
Like part of me had died.

I'm learning all about my life
By looking through her eyes.

And as her image wandered through my head
I wept just like a baby as I lay awake in bed.
And I know what it's like
to lose someone you love
And this felt...just the same.

She wasn't given any choice
Desperation stole her voice
I've been given so much more in life
I've got a son, I've got a wife

I had to suffer one last time
To grieve for her and say goodbye
Relive the anguish of my past
To find out who I was at last.

The door is open wide
I'm turning with the tide
Looking through her eyes.

[Shoehorn!]

Phish - Contact

Another Prophet of Disaster
Who says the ship is lost,
Another Prophet of Disaster
Leaving you to count the cost.
Taunting us with Visions,
Afflicting us with fear,
Predicting War for millions,
In the hope that one appears.

No point asking when it is,
No point asking who's to go,
No point asking what's the game,
No point asking who's to blame.
'cos if you're gonna die, if you're gonna die,
'cos if you're gonna die, if you're gonna die,

If you're gonna die, die with your boots on.
If you're gonna try, just stick around,
Gonna cry, just move along,
If you're gonna die, you're gonna die.

In 13 the Beast is rising,
The Frenchman did surmise,
Through earthquakes and starvation,
The warlord will arise.
Terror, Death, Destruction,
Pour from the Eastern Sands,
But the truth of all predictions,
Is always in your hands.

If you're gonna die, die with your boots on,
If you're gonna try, just stick around,
Gonna cry, just move along,
If you're gonna die, you're gonna die.

Intense thread

[Tala]

Lost in the sky
Clouds roll by and I roll with them
Arrows fly
Seas increase and then fall again

This world is spinning around me
This world is spinning without me
Every day sends future to past
Every breath leaves one less to my last

Watch the sparrow falling
Gives new meaning to it all
If not today nor yet tomorrow then some other day

I'll take seven lives for one
And then my only father's son
As sure as I ever did love him
I am not afraid

This world is spinning around me
The whole world keeps spinning around me
All life is future to past
Every breath leaves me one less to my last

Pull me under pull me under
Pull me under I'm not afraid
All that I feel in honor and spite
All I can do is set it right

Dust fills my eyes
Clouds roll by and I roll with them
Centuries cry
Orders fly and I fall again

This world is spinning inside me
The whole world is spinning inside of me
Every day sends future to past
Every step brings me closer to my last

Pull me under pull me under
Pull me under I'm not afraid
Living my life too much in in the sun
Only until your will is done

[Shoehorn!]

Runny nose and runny yolk
Even if you have a cold still
You can cough on me again
I still havent had my fulfill

In the someday what's that sound?

Broken heart and broken bones
Think of how a castrated horse feels
One more quirky cliche'd phrase
You're the one I wanna refill

In the someday what's that sound?

Most people don't realize
That two large pieces of coral,
Painted brown, and attached to his skull
With common wood screws can make a child look like a deer

[Shoehorn!]

Something in the way she moves
Attracts me like no other lover
Something in the way she woos me
I don't want to leave her now
You know I believe and how

Somewhere in her smile she knows
That I don't need no other lover
Something in her style that shows me
I don't want to leave her now
You know I believe and how

You're asking me will my love grow
I don't know, I don't know
You stick around and it may show
I don't know, I don't know

Something in the way she knows
And all I have to do is think of her
Something in the things she shows me
I don't want to leave her now
You know I believe and how

[videoxpix]

Here by the sea and sand
Nothing ever goes as planned,
I just couldn't face going home
It was just a drag on my own.
They finally threw me out
My mother got drunk on stout,
My dad couldn't stand on two feet,
As he lectured about morality.
Now I guess the families complete,
With me hanging round on the street
Or here on the beach.

The girl I love
Is a perfect dresser,
Wears every fashion
Gets it to the tee.
Heavens above,
I got to match her
She knows just how
She wants her man to be
Leave it to me.

My jacket's gonna be cut slim and checked
Maybe a touch of seersucker with an open neck
I ride a G.S. scooter with my hair cut neat
I wear my wartime coat in the wind and sleet.

I see her dancing
Across the ballroom
UV light making starshine
Of her smile.
I am the face,
She has to know me,
I'm dressed up better than anyone
Within a mile.

So how come the other tickets look much better?
Without a penny to spend they dress to the letter.
How come the girls come on oh so cool
Yet when you meet 'em, every one's a fool?

Come sleep on the beach
Keep within my reach
I just want to die with you near
I'm feeling so high with you here.
I'm wet and I'm cold
But thank God I ain't old
Why didn't I ever say what I mean?
I should have split home at fifteen.
There's a story that the grass is so green,
What did I see?
Where have I been?

Nothing is planned, by the sea and the sand

[Tala]

Last night the word came down
Ten dead in chinatown
Innocent, their only crime was
Being in the wrong place at the wrong time
Too bad, people say, what's wrong with the kids today?
Tell you right now they've got nothing to lose
They're building empires!

Johnny used to work after school
At the cinema show
Gotta hustle if he wants an education, yeah, he's got a long way to go
Now he's out on the streets all day
Selling crack to the people who pay
Got an ak-47 for his best friend, business the american way

Chorus
Eastside meets westside downtown
No time the walls fall down
Can you feel it coming? empire!
Can you hear it calling?

Black man trapped again, holds his change in his hand
Brother killing brother for the profit of another
Game point, nobody wins
Decline, right on time
What happened to the dream sublime?
Tear it all down to put it up again
Another empire

Chorus

Can someone hear it calling?

[Tala]

All alone now
Except for the memories
Of what we had and what we knew
Everytime I try to leave it behind me
I see something that reminds me of you

Every night the dreams return to haunt me
Your rosary wrapped around your throat
I lie awake and sweat, afraid to fall asleep
I see your face looking back at me

And I raise my head and stare
Into the eyes of a stranger
I've always known that the mirror never lies
People always turn away
From the eyes of a stranger
Afraid to know what
Lies behind the stare

Is this all that's left
Of my life before me
Straight jacket memories, sedative highs
No happy ending like I'd always promised
There's got to be something left for me

And I raise my head and stare
Into the eyes of a stranger

I've always known that the mirror never lies
People always turn away
From the eyes of a stranger
Afraid to know what
Lies behind the stare [lies behind my stare]

How many times must I live this tragedy
How many more lies will they tell me
All I want is the same as everyone
Why am I here, and for how long

And I raise my head and stare
Into the eyes of a stranger

I've always known that the mirror never lies
People always turn away
From the eyes of a stranger
Afraid to know what
Lies behind the stare

Dave Matthews Band > True Reflections

when you look into a mirror
do you like what's looking at you
now that you've seen your true reflections
what on earth are you gonna do

find some inspiration
it's down deep inside of you
amend your situation
your whole life is ahead of you
your whole life is ahead of you

remember the time you hung out with the boys now
remember the things you used to say
I thought by now you'd be the president
but after all that was yesterday
you've had time to go out in the world now
but you chose to run away
people ask you what your doin' now
you don't even know what to say

you think life is like a movie
where it all works out in the end
I think life is like a dessert
where does it go where does it begin
when you look into a mirror
do you like what's looking at you
now that you've seen your true reflections
what on earth are you gonna do

find some inspiration
it's down deep inside of you

There?s only one place where we can go
Where the price is right just to fuck a ho
It?s always popular with the girls and the guys
?cause for all my money, it?s the best buy
Ten dollars, two hours is the time of the stay
It?s more than enough time to slay
Each room has a bed and also a sink
So you can wash your dick after fucking the pink
But be careful of the things that you use?
Cause you can get arrested for sex abuse
So as you hit the door and the panties drop,
Whole lot of suckin? and fuckin? at the fuck shop!


Please come inside, make yourself at home
I want to fuck, ?cause my dick?s on bone
You little whore behind closed doors
You would drink my cum and nothing more
Now spread your wings open for the flight
Let me fill you up with something milky and white
?cause I?m hopin? to slay you, rough and painful
You innocent bitch, don?t be shameful
Bring out the ice cubes and the hot water
This is the second half, and not the second quarter
I?ll fuck you ?till you sleep; you?ll sleep like a baby
And in your dreams, you?ll say I?m crazy
In the fuck shop!

you?re in the fuck shop, babeeee!i wanna see you freak!!


In the fuck shop! that?s where it?s at!
In the fuck shop! the place to splak!
In the fuck shop! where all the boys go!
In the fuck shop! fuckin? all the hoes!


thank you for fuckin? at the fuck sho-o-o-op!!

Pearl Jam - Parting Ways

behind her eyes there's curtains...
and they've been closed to hide the flames, remains...
she knows their future's burning, but she can smile just the same...
and though her mood is fine today
there's a fear they'll soon be parting ways
standing, like a statue
a chin of stone, a heart of clay, hey...
and though he's too big a man to say
there's a fear they'll soon be parting ways

"Something's Coming" -- from Westside Story


Could be
Who knows?
There's something due any day
I will know right away
Soon as it shows
It may come cannonballin' down through the sky
Gleam in its eye
Bright as a rose!
Who knows?
It's only just out of reach
Down the block, on a beach
Under a tree
I got a feeling there's a miracle due
Gonna come true
Coming to me
Could it be?
Yes it could
Something's coming
Something good
If I can wait
Something's coming I don't know what it is
But it is
Gonna be great!
With a click
With a shock
Phone'll jingle
Door'll knock
Open the latch!
Something's coming, don't know when
But it's soon
Catch the moon
One handed catch
Around the corner
Or whistling down the river
Come on - deliver
To me
Will it be? Yes it will
Maybe just by holding still
It'll be there!
Come on, something, come on in
Don't be shy
Meet a guy
Pull up a chair
The air is hummin'
And something great is coming
Who knows
It's only just
Out of reach
Down the block, on a beach
Maybe tonight
Maybe tonight...

Almost anything by Bad Religion

I think Tala already knows just about everything on Operation Mindcrime is gold.

He doesn't need to anymore. His gayness netted him a fine woman.

Indeed, this is true
