Let's take a walk through passages of reflective thought...Let's analyze the words....Apply them as needed....And come out on the other end richer....Or at least enlightened....





****DISCLAIMER****Some of these lyrics are dark and may seem offensive to you. If so, I apologize for that, as it is not my intention to offend anyone. I simply want to share with you some lyrics that I think have true depth and insight. I will try to balance the dark lyrics with the hopeful ones. (In any of the lyrics that may speak of the "devil", please note that I am not a devil worshipper or anything even close to that. They are just lyrics, and usually the song will be speaking of the devil in a negative way, not glorifying him at all.)





"...Perhaps this final act was meant To clinch a lifetime's argument That nothing comes from violence and nothing ever could For all those born beneath an angry star Lest we forget how fragile we are... On and on the rain will fall Like tears from a star, like tears from a star On and on the rain will say How fragile we are....how fragile we are... On and on the rain will fall Like tears from a star, like tears from a star On and on the rain will say How fragile we are, how fragile we are How fragile we are....how fragile we are..." -- Sting.


"I stumble in And I can't help myself from falling I stumble in and I can't help myself no more I can't begin to tell you Everything I'm thinkin Sometimes I'd rather just not think at all Yes I know What you've been missin Yes I know, I understand That you need every breath Of my affection I will be your destination I'm your ticket home, my friend Feel that train arrivin At your station When it's all the same You come up empty again Well you know where there's A shoulder you can dream on..." --Shaw/Blades.


"That's what love is for To help us through it That's what love is for Nothing else can do it Melt our defenses Bring us back to our senses Give us strength to try once more Baby, that's what love is for... Believing in the one thing That has gotten us this far That's what love is for To help us through it That's what love is for Nothing else can do it Round off the edges Talk us down from the fences Give us strength to try once more Baby, that's what love is for..." -- Amy Grant.


"I used to like to walk the straight and narrow line I used to think that everything was fine Sometimes I'd sit and gaze for days through sleepless dreams All alone and trapped in time All alone and trapped in time I wonder what tomorrow has in mind for me Or am I even in it's mind at all Perhaps I'll get a chance to look ahead and see Soon as I find myself a Crystal Ball..." -- Styx.


"Forgive me father For I have sinned I've been through hell and back again Shook hands with the devil Looked him in the eye Looked like a long lost friend Anything you want Any dirty deeds He's got everything Except what I really need Keepin' me temporarily satisfied But not one thing I tried Filled me up inside Or felt like mine Mine, all mine Yeah, the search goes on The more I look My world keeps getting smaller Staring at the sun Searchin' for the light Almost ended up blind Some only see What they wanna see Claiming victory Oh, but that's not me Give me truth Give me something real I just want to feel Like it's Mine, all mine Oh really mine, all mine...." --Van Halen.
