This is a collection of some of my favorite song lyrics. I will add more song lyrics to this list as I listen to them. It is in no way intended to be a comprehensive list of all my music tastes, that would be pretty near impossible! These are songs that stand out to me at the time, a reflection of how I'm feeling and thinking, and are all personal to me in some way.

Lyrics


Headless Chickens
Juice

Back in '77, when everything was so torn
I used to watch the tv shows that are now country corn
This is the feeling I taste in my dreams
When the child was a child, was a child....
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo...

Making love in the darkness I know I've felt this way before
Sunday morning children's show, always wanting more
This is the feeling I taste in my dreams
When the child was a child, was a child...
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo...

This is the feeling I taste in my dreams....

Linkin Park
Faint

I am a little bit of loneliness
A little bit of disregard
Handful of complaints but I can't help the fact
That everyone can see these scars
I am what I want you to want
What I want you to feel
But it's like no matter what I do
I can't convince you
To just believe this is real
So I let go, I'm watching you
Turn your back like you always do
Face away and pretend that I'm not
But I'll be here cos you're all that I got

I can't feel the way I did before
Don't turn your back on me, I won't be ignored
Time won't heal this damage anymore
Don't turn your back on me, I won't be ignored

I am a little bit insecure
A little unconfident
Cos you don't understand I do what I can
But sometimes it don't make sense
I am what you never want to say
But I've never had a doubt
It's like no matter what I do
I can't convince you
For once just to hear me out

I can't feel the way I did before
Don't turn your back on me, I won't be ignored
Time won't heal this damage anymore
Don't turn your back on me, I won't be ignored

No, hear me out now
You're gonna listen to me like it or not
Right now, hear me out now
You're gonna listen to me like it or not
Right now

I can't feel the way I did before
Don't turn your back on me, I won't be ignored

I can't feel the way I did before
Don't turn your back on me, I won't be ignored
Time won't heal this damage anymore
Don't turn your back on me, I won't be ignored

I can't feel.........
Don't turn your back on me
Time won't heal.......
Don't turn your back on me
I won't be ignored

Figure .09

Nothing ever stops all these thoughts
And the pain that's attached to them
And sometimes I wonder why this is happening
It's like nothing I could do could distract me when
I think of how I shot myself in the back again
Cuz from the infinite words I could say
I put all the pain you gave to me on display
Didn't realize instead of setting it free
I took what I hated and made it a part of me

(Never goes away)
(Never goes away)

And now you've become a part of me
You'll always be right here
You've become a part of me
You'll always be my fear
I can't separate myself from what I've done
Giving up a part of me, I've let myself become you

Hearing your name the memories come back again
I remember when it started happenin
I'd see you in every thought I had and then
The thoughts slowly found words attached to them
And I knew as they escaped away
I was committin myself to them and every day
I regret saying those things cuz now I see
That I took what I hated and made it a part of me

And now you've become a part of me
You'll always be right here
You've become a part of me
You'll always be my fear
I can't separate myself from what I've done
Giving up a part of me, I've let myself become you

Never goes away
Never goes away
Never goes away
Never goes away
(Get away from me!)

Give me my space back, you gotta
(go)
Cos everything comes down to memories of
(you)
I've kept it in but now I'm letting you
(know)
I've let you go so get away from
(Me)

And now you've become a part of me
You'll always be right here
You've become a part of me
You'll always be my fear
I can't separate myself from what I've done
Giving up a part of me, I've let myself become you

I've let myself become you
I've let myself become you
I've let myself become lost inside these thoughts of you
Giving up a part of me, I've let myself become you

Sarah McLachlan
In The Arms Of The Angel

Spend all your time waiting for that second chance
For the break that will make it OK
There's always some reason to feel not good enough
And it's hard at the end of the day
I need some distraction or a beautiful release
Memories seep from my veins
Let me be empty and weightless and maybe
I'll find some peace tonight

In the arms of the Angel
Far 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
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 this glorious sadness
That brings me to my knees

In the arms of the Angel
Far 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...

Matchbox 20
Unwell

All day, staring at the ceiling
Making friends with shadows on my wall
All night, hearing voices telling me
That i should get some sleep
Because tomorrow might be good for something
Hold on -
Feelin like i'm headin for a breakdown
And I don't know why

I'm not crazy i'm just a little unwell
I know right now you can't tell
But stay a while and maybe then you'll see
A different side of me
I'm not crazy I'm just a little impaired
I know, right now, you don't care
But soon enough you're gonna think of me
And how I used to be... me

I'm talking to myself in public
And dodging glances on the train
And I know they've all been talking 'bout me
I can hear them whisper
And it makes me think
There must be something wrong with me
Add up all the hours thinking
Somehow I've lost my mind

I'm not crazy i'm just a little unwell
I know right now you can't tell
But stay a while and maybe then you'll see
A different side of me
I'm not crazy I'm just a little impaired
I know, right now, you don't care
But soon enough you're gonna think of me
And how I used to be... me

I've been talking in my sleep
Pretty soon they'll come to get me
Yeah they're taking me away
