Some songs do more to me than I could ever explain. These are a reason music means so much to me! I may have known a song for quite a while, then some time...WOW! it just hits me. Often, something happens in my life and the song instantly has immense meaning. I was reading Britt Olson's profile and the song lyrics on it, and I was inspired.
deep inside of you

When we met, light was shed
Thoughts free flow
You said you've got something
Deep inside of you [...]
Changed my life, so it seems [...]
And I never felt alone, alright
Oh oh, till I met you
Friends say I've changed
I don't listen 'cuz I live to be
Deep inside of you [...]
I would change myself if I could
I'd walk with my people if I could find them
And I'd say that I'm sorry to you
I'm sorry to you
And I don't want to call you
But then I want to call you
'Cuz I don't want to crush you
But I feel like crushing you, and it's true
I took for granted you were with me
I breathe by your looks and you look right through me [...]
I've lost myself, there's nothing left
It's all gone
Deep inside of you

hey jupiter

no one's picking up the phone
guess it's me and me
and this little masochist
she's ready to confess
all the things that I never thought
that she could feel
hey Jupiter
nothings been the same
so are you gay
are you blue
thought we both could use a friend
to run to [...]
sometimes I breathe you in
and I know you know
and sometimes you take a swim
found your writing on my wall
if my hearts soaking wet
Boy your boots can leave a mess
hey Jupiter
nothings been the same
so are you gay
are you blue
thought we both could use a friend
to run to
and I thought I wouldn't have to keep
with you
hiding
thought I knew myself so well [...]
and I thought I wouldn't have to be
with you
a magazine [...]
guess I thought I could never feel
the things I feel

[...]
That's when I knew,
I could never have you,
I knew that before you did,
Still I'm the one who's stupid [...]
And there's things I'd like to do
That you don't believe in,
I would like to build something,
You know it's never going to happen, [...]
And this will be the last time,
We'll be friends again.
I'll get over you and you'll wonder,
Who I am.
And there's this burning,
Like there's always been,
I've never been so alone,
And I've never been so alive.

farther

Nothing much matters much to me
So I don't see why I should hold so tightly
To a memory I can't speak of
I think about it nightly
How you opened up your life for me
Why are you still lonely? [...]
I miss you but not the face you make
Like when you found me out for the fake I am
So easily you see through me [...]
I keep hoping that you’ll speak to me
But I’m farther from you every day
All I think about is waiting and the people we are changing into
Farther from you every day [...]
You said, you are of the earth,
I am of the sky
I don't even know what the hell that means
Farther from you every day [...]
All I think about is waiting and the people we are fading into
And I think about you dying years from now never having known
Who you are
Farther from you every day

northern lad

Had a Northern lad
well not exactly had
he moved like the sunset
god who painted that- [...]
I loved his secret places
but I can't go anymore
"you change like sugar cane"
says my northern lad
I guess you go too far
when pianos try to be guitars [...]

Tori Amos


frozen charlotte/skin

Blue like the winter snow in the full moon
Black like the silhouettes of the trees
Late blooming flowers lie frozen underneath the stars
I want you to remember me that way [...]
Far away... I'll be gone, will you wait for me here
How long... I don't know, but wait for me here
Follow... don't follow me
To where
To where I go

Take a look at my body
Look at my hands
There's so much here that I don't understand
Your face-saving promises
Whispered like prayers
I don't need them [...]
I'm the slow dying flower
In the frost killing hour
Sweet turning sour anduntouchable
Do you remember the way that you touched me before
All the trembling sweetness I loved and adored
Your face-saving promises whispered like prayers
I don't need them
Oh, I need the darkness
The sweetness
The sadness
The weakness
Oh, I need this
I need a lullaby
A kiss good night
Angel sweet love of my life
Oh, I need this
