have you ever heard a song and just cried, it was so applicable?
...cuz i just did... the song was 'stay' by sugerland...
lyrics are...
I've been sitting here staring at the clock on the wall
And I've been laying here praying, praying she won't call
It's just another call from home
And you'll get it and be gone and I'll be crying
And I'll be begging you, baby, beg you not to leave
But I'll be left here waiting with my heart on my sleeve
Oh, for the next time we'll be here
Seems like a million years and I think I'm dying
What do I have to do to make you see she can't love you like me?
Why don't you stay? I'm down on my knees
I'm so tired of being lonely, don't I give you what you need?
When she calls you to go, there is one thing you should know
We don't have to live this way, baby, why don't you stay? Yeah
You keep telling me, baby there will come a time
When you will leave her arms and forever be in mine
But I don't think that's the truth
And I don't like being used and I'm tired of waiting
It's too much pain to have to bear to love a man you have to share
Why don't you stay? I'm down on my knees
I'm so tired of being lonely, don't I give you what you need?
When she calls you to go, there is one thing you should know
We don't have to live this way, baby, why don't you stay?
there are too more verces... but these are the ones most applicable to me...
do you have any songs that just give you an emotional dropkick? share them...

I can't remember who it
I can't remember who it was...Icarus perhaps...but someone mentioned the song "When She Loved Me" from Toy Story 2 in a post about a week ago, and I remembered what a beautiful song it was so I bought it on iTunes and then listened to it like 20 times in a row trying not to cry.
"When somebody loved me
everything was beautiful
Every hour we spent together
lives within my heart
And when she was sad
I was there to dry her tears
And when she was happy so was I
When she loved me
Through the summer and the fall
we had each other, that was all
Just she and I together
like it was meant to be
And when she was lonely
I was there to comfort her
And I knew that
She loved me
So the years went by
I stayed the same
but she began to drift away
I was left alone
Still I waited for the day
when she'd say I will always love you
Lonely and forgotten
never thought she'd look my way
And she smiled at me and held me
just like she used to do
Like she loved me
When she loved me
When somebody loved me
everything was beautiful
Every hour we spent together
lives within my heart
When she loved me"
It just--the first half reminded me of my relationship with K now, and the second half was how I'm afraid things will turn out...so it really got to me. But even so I can't stop listening to it. =/

Goodbye My Lover - James Blunt
Did I disappoint you or let you down?
Should I be feeling guilty or let the judges frown?
'Cause I saw the end before we'd begun,
Yes I saw you were blind and I knew I had won.
So I took what's mine by eternal right.
Took your soul out into the night.
It may be over but it won't stop there,
I am here for you if you'd only care.
You touched my heart you touched my soul.
You changed my life and all my goals.
And love is blind but then I knew it,
My heart was blinded by you.
I've kissed your lips and held your hand.
Shared your dreams and shared your bed.
I know you well, I know your smell.
I've been addicted to you.
Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.(2x)
I am a dreamer and when I wake,
You can't break my spirit - it's my dreams you take.
And as you move on, remember me,
Remember us and all we used to be
I've seen you cry, I've seen you smile.
I've watched you sleeping for a while.
I'd be the father of your child.
I'd spend a lifetime with you.
I know your fears and you know mine.
We've had our doubts but now we're fine,
And I love you, I swear that's true.
I cannot live without you.
Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.(2x)
And I still hold your hand in mine.
In mine when I'm asleep.
And I will bear my soul in time,
When I'm kneeling at your feet.
Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.(2x)
I'm so hollow, baby, I'm so hollow.
I'm so, I'm so, I'm so hollow.(2x)
Not what I'm typically into but I downloaded it because I liked it(at the time) a couple of years ago and one night I was listening to it and something just came over me and I actually cried. Which is kinda weird for me I don't think I've ever cried because of a song except this one time. And I'm not a James Blunt fan but I think the lyrics are pretty powerful. They just got to me.
Back in my super severe
Back in my super severe depression days, I used to listen to the U2 song "Drowning Man" and cry because it wasn't applicable as far as I could see.
Yeah, I was pretty emo. It was bad.
oh, and lyrics in case you were wondering
Take my hand
You know I'll be there
If you can
I'll cross the sky for your love
For I have promised
Oh, to be with you tonight
And for the time that will come
Take my hand
You know I'll be there
If you can
I'll cross the sky for your love
And I understand
These winds and tides
This change of times
Won't drag you away
Hold on, and hold on tightly
Hold on, and don't let go
Of my love
The storms will pass
It won't be long now
This love will last
This love will last...forever
Take my hand
You know I'll be there
If you can
I'll cross the sky for your love
Give you what I hold dear
Hold on, hold on tightly
Hold on, hold on tightly
Rise up, rise up
With wings like eagles
You run, you run
You run and not grow weary
Hold on, and hold on tightly
(etc.)
It was the words "it won't be long now" that usually triggered the paroxysms of sobbing. I'm sure you totally needed to know that.
As with all songs, you have to hear it to get the full effect.
I haven't listened to that song in a long time.
This is a good thing.
I still cry everytime I hear
I still cry everytime I hear the Johnny Cash version of the NIN song, 'Hurt'.
Lots of memories are attatched to that song.
I hurt myself today
to see if I still feel
I focus on the pain
the only thing that's real
the needle tears a hole
the old familiar sting
try to kill it all away
but I remember everything
what have I become?
my sweetest friend
everyone I know
goes away in the end
and you could have it all
my empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt
I wear this crown of thorns
upon my liar's chair
full of broken thoughts
I cannot repair
beneath the stains of time
the feelings disappear
you are someone else
I am still right here
what have I become?
my sweetest friend
everyone I know
goes away in the end
and you could have it all
my empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt
if I could start again
a million miles away
I would keep myself
I would find a way
-- You like my helm? It's +5 sexterity. Like dexterity, but with 'sex' on the front... yeah...

me too!
"There was never any good old days
They are today, they are tomorrow

Cursing tomorrow with sorrow"

Yay I'm not alone! XD -- You
Yay I'm not alone! XD
-- You like my helm? It's +5 sexterity. Like dexterity, but with 'sex' on the front... yeah...
I love Hurt...
But I prefer the original Nine Inch Nails version. But either way, either version the lyrics are great and I take away a lot from them too.
Once upon a time I ripped the wings from my spine
But when I hide inside your eyes I still pretend that I can fly
This song gets to me too. It
This song gets to me too. It was my father's favorite song before he passed away.
I love Johnny Cash's version
I love Johnny Cash's version of Hurt. He sings it with so much feeling, everytime I listen to 'Hurt" it gives me pause.
=p
hmm well there are a few songs but the most recent is welcome home by tegan and sara.
The sun's rays don't bother me
No they cast down such a wonderful heat
Masking beauty
By a terrible fate
If you fly to close and then you turn too late
The night still confuses me
We'd all get tired and have to sleep eventually
Regardless of the sun's demands
Regardless if it made much sense
You moved so far that I know how far
And then you got so sad that I, I bought a car
Yes I'll come get you
And I will bring you home
I'll come get you
And I will bring you home
He sat me down
He said he was incomplete
He thinks true love's gonna get him back on his feet
He said you only find love once in your life
So I guess when you find it
You're gonna hold it right
You'll hold it right
It makes no sense
Cos there's no sense in it at all
We all wait around
We wait for you to get tired and fall
As your shadow it resumes in me
Yes your shadow it was made for me
She speaks clearly
He speaks loudly
I speak only clearly loudly
Yes she speaks clearly
He speaks loudly
I speak only clearly loudly
Yeah my shadow well it resumes with me
Yes my shadow well it was made for me
She told me love will come once in your life
So I guess when you find it
You're gonna hold it right
You're gonna hold it right
You hold it right
You moved so far that I knew exactly how far
And then you got so sad that I, I bought a car
Yes I'll come get you
And I will bring you home
I'll come get you
And I will bring you home
I'll come get you
And I'll say
Welcome home
also
city girl by tegan and sara
i cried so hard that you pushed me
Further away
I screamed so loud you called the
Police on me
I got so city girl on you
I get so sad that
Sad gets to be
So scared that all my feelings
They up and leave me
I got so city girl on you
I go so crazy I
Don't know what to do
Ooh, ooh
I look so alone
I get obvious
I look so hard
I look obvious
I work so much
I miss the sun shine away
I sleep so little
Watch the stars fade into day
I get so city girl on you
I go so crazy I
Don't know what to do
Ooh, ooh
I got uncertain from this
I'll be perfect from now on
But all my promises
They're out the window once you're gone
You pack your bags
You say I love you but I cannot stay
So I started smoking
Thought the signals
Would scare your wolves away
I got so city girl on you
I went so crazy I
Didn't know what to do
I got so city girl on you
I went so crazy I
Didn't know what to do
Ooh, ooh
I cried so hard that you pushed me
Further away
I screamed so loud you called the
Police on me
You pack your bags
You say I love you but I cannot stay
So I started smoking
Thought the signals
Would scare your wolves away
I got so city girl on you
I went so crazy I
Didn't know what to do
I got so city girl on you
I went so crazy I
Didn't know what to do
Ooh

Cursing tomorrow with sorrow"
-Gogol Bordello
another song that i totally relate to...
"Numb" by Linkin Park
it's how my relationship with my parents (especially my mom) feels. exactly.
"I'm tired of being what you want me to be
Feeling so faithless, lost under the surface,
Don't know what you're expecting of me
Put under the pressure of walking in your shoes
(Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow)
Every step that I take is another mistake to you
(Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow)
I've become so numb
I can't feel you there
I've become so tired,
So much more aware
I'm becoming this
All I want to do,
Is be more like me,
And be less like you
Can't you see that youre smothering me?
Holding too tightly, afraid to lose control
'Cause everything that you thought I would be,
Has fallen apart right in front of you
(Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow)
Every step that I take is another mistake to you
(Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow)
And every second I waste is more than I can take
I've become so numb
I can't feel you there
I've become so tired,
So much more aware
I'm becoming this
All I want to do,
Is be more like me,
And be less like you
And I know I may end up failing too,
But I know you were just like me with someone disappointed in you
I've become so numb
I can't feel you there
I've become so tired,
So much more aware
I'm becoming this
All I want to do,
Is be more like me,
And be less like you
I've become so numb
I can't feel you there
(I'm tired of being what you want me to be)
I've become so numb
I can't feel you there
(I'm tired of being what you want me to be)"

Two wrongs don't make a right but three lefts do!
I swear it's the name...
I feel the same way. I've related to this song since I first heard it.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"When you can't walk you crawl, and when you can't do that you find someone to carry you" ~Firefly
Yes
Such a good song and I can relate so much to the lyrics too.
I relate, I used to listen
I relate, I used to listen to Linkin Park songs on 'dark' mornings in middle school. I occasionally do it now, but dark mornings or not I always like Linkin Park.
Another one.
It's mainly just the chorus that I relate to, but 'Second Chance' by Shinedown. I relate to the rest too, but not as much...
My eyes are open wide
By the way I made it through the day
I watch the world outside
By the way I'm leaving out today
I just saw Haley's Comet, she waved
Said, "Why are you always running in place?"
Even the man in the moon disappeared
Somewhere in the stratosphere
Tell my mother, tell my father I've done the best I can
To make them realize this is my life, I hope they understand
I'm not angry, I'm just saying
Sometimes goodbye is a second chance
Please don't cry one tear for me
I'm not afraid of what I have to say
This is my one and only voice
So listen close, it's only for today
I just saw Haley's Comet, she waved
Said, "Why are you always running in place?"
Even the man in the moon disappeared
Somewhere in the stratosphere"
Tell my mother, tell my father I've done the best I can
To make them realize this is my life, I hope they understand
I'm not angry, I'm just saying
Sometimes goodbye is a second chance
Here is my chance
This is my chance
Tell my mother, tell my father I've done the best I can
To make them realize this is my life, I hope they understand
I'm not angry, I'm just saying
Sometimes goodbye is a second chance
Sometimes goodbye is a second chance
Sometimes goodbye is a second chance

Words never hit my heart
Words never hit my heart quite that way, but the actual music does, and the words assist in that in some cases. Back in January and February, when I was in my self-hating times, the song "Any Other World" (Mika) about drowned me, and "Bells of Freedom" (Bon Jovi), "Speeding Cars" (Imogen Heap), "Shooting Star" (Air Traffic), "Closer To You" (Brandi Carlile), and "Dans Et Sur Mes Bras" (Yannick Noah) have all been known to make me cry. Largely I cry when playing things, not when listening, because I get so emotionally invested in it. And music is such a heart-rending, heart-healing sort of thing.

Blow Away by Staind
I can relate to pretty much all of Staind's song in one way or another. Aaron Lewis is just...amazing in my books. The way he and the guys write their songs. I've never connected to any band anywhere near the way I connect to them and their songs. This one (particularly the chorus) I can totally relate to. It makes me feel nostalgic, makes me look back at my own past and the things I've done. The way I've dealt with people and situations. It's definitely one of those songs that has made me tear up.
Live in my head for just one day
I see myself and look away
the road is showing now on my face
soon I'll disappear
I'll disappear without a fucking trace
[chorus]
Faces that I've seen turn old and grey
I've lost too many friends along the way
Memories I never thought would fade
they fade and blow away
I wish that I could disappear
unzip my skin and leave it here
so I could be no one again
and never let nobody
I'd let nobody
I'd let nobody in
[chorus]
So now the walls are closing in
because in life you sink or swim
Sometimes these shoes don't feel right in my head
feel like a book that can't be
a book that can't be
a book that can't be read
For some reason, Piano Man
For some reason, Piano Man has a really weird effect on me. It makes me all nostalgic and stuff... maybe because it's about loneliness.. :/
Also, listening to songs like Best Friend by queen don't make me cry, but they do make me think about life... mostly what constitutes a good relationship. Which always puts me in a weird mood...
"Assets, what are our assets?"
"Well I've got a banana, and in a pinch you could put up some shelves..."
Stuff like... Bright Lights
Stuff like...
Bright Lights of America - Anti Flag.
"16 year old girl
In a hallowed carved out place
Just looking for some prettiness
But the cuts in her arm don't paint for her,
A very pretty view
In her mind she dreams that she is
Far away from...
the bright lights of america,
life and death in a sold out-erica
to live in die of the heart of america,
where they sell souls [x2]...
I just want you to know
There are warehouses full
Of fucked up kids like you and me (can't find a way)
So many lost in strife,
caught in an endless fight
To leave this empty ugly place
I'm leaving you at sea"
and I'll Cover You (Reprise) / Goodbye Love from Rent..
the entire soundtrack of Spring Awakening.
Forever Young - Youth Group (was played @ a classmate's funeral)
Rooftop - Melissa McClelland
"the roof slips beneath my feet,
as the branches back away from me,
the softest grass turns to concrete,
but i will fly, i will fly - you will see.
'cause i am playing God,
and i am raising hell.
as far as i can tell,
i am all alone,
alone in this world,
alone..."
& P!nk's Don't Let Me Get Me
"i was always in a fight,
cause i can't do nothin' right.
every day i fight a war against the mirror,
i can't take the person staring back at me
(i'm a hazard to myself)
don't let me get me,
i'm my own worst enemy.
it's bad when you annoy yourself.
so irritating,
don't wanna be my friend no more
i wanna be somebody else.
i wanna be somebody else, yeah."
they always get me..
& Sugarland's "Stay" is also one of them.
i may not be sleeping w/ a man who has a wife,
but i am in love w/ someone who's in love w/ someone else...
so, you could interpret the lyrics that way...
how about a song that was so
how about a song that was so NOT applicable it made me cry? well, the chorus is :
let me tell you a secret
about a father's love,
a secret that my daddy said
was just between us.
you see daddies don't just love their children
every now and then,
it's a love without end, amen.
Bull. Shit.
love, the Dyke of Otherworldly Happiness!
at times, it isn't....
but one would wish for it to be 100% of the time... sorry you don't find it app......

Shinedown - "If You Only Knew"
If you only knew
I'm hanging by a thread
The web I spin for you
If you only knew
I'd sacrifice my beating
Heart before I lose you
I still hold onto the letters
You returned
I swear I've lived and learned
It's 4:03 and I can't sleep
Without you next to me I
Toss and turn like the sea
If I drown tonight, bring me
Back to life
Breathe your breath in me
The only thing that I still believe
In is you, if you only knew
If you only knew
How many times I counted
All the words that wen't wrong
If you only knew
How I refuse to let you go,
Even when you're gone
I don't regret any days I
Spent, nights we shared,
Or letters that I sent
It's 4:03 and I can't sleep
Without you next to me I
Toss and turn like the sea
If I drown tonight, bring me
Back to life
Breathe your breath in me
The only thing that I still believe
In is you, if you only knew
If you only knew
I still hold onto the letters
You returned
You help me live and learn
It's 4:03 and I can't sleep
Without you next to me I
Toss and turn like the sea
If I drown tonight, bring me
Back to life
Breathe your breath in me
The only thing that I still believe
In is you, believe in is you
I still believe in you
Oh, if you only knew...
"Reflection" from Mulan
Well, it's by no means a song of great depth, but "Reflection" from Mulan gets to me every time. The words describe exactly how I've felt.
Look at me
I will never pass for a perfect bride
Or a perfect daughter
Can it be
I'm not meant to play this part?
Now I see
That if I were truly
To be myself
I would break my family's heart
Who is that girl I see
Staring straight
Back at me?
Why is my reflection someone
I don't know?
Somehow I cannot hide
Who I am
Though I've tried
When will my reflection show
Who I am inside?
When will my reflection show
Who I am inside
Agreed.
I never noticed it until I was singing it the other day, but it's sooo applicable, and it makes me soo sad!

I know, I was listening to a
I know, I was listening to a bunch of Disney songs with a friend the other day, and I got so sad when this song came up and she was like "Aw, c'mon, lighten up!" I've always really related to it though, even when I was a kid and didn't know how different I was.

Another One
The Last Night by Skillet, it reminds me of people...
You come to me with scars on your wrist
You tell me this will be the last night feeling like this
I just came to say goodbye
I didn't want you to see me cry, I'm fine
But I know it's a lie
This is the last night you'll spend alone
Look me in the eyes so I know you know
I'm everywhere you want me to be
The last night you'll spend alone
I'll wrap you in my arms and I won't let go
I'm everything you need me to be
Your parents say everything is your fault
But they don't know you like I know you
They don't know you at all
I'm so sick of when they say
It's just a phase, you'll be o.k. you're fine
But I know it's a lie
This is the last night you'll spend alone
Look me in the eyes so I know you know
I'm everywhere you want me to be
The last night you'll spend alone
I'll wrap you in my arms and I won't let go
I'm everything you need me to be
The last night away from me
The night is so long when everything's wrong
If you give me your hand
I will help you hold on
Tonight, tonight
This is the last night you'll spend alone
Look me in the eyes so I know you know
I'm everywhere you want me to be
The last night you'll spend alone
I'll wrap you in my arms and I won't let go
I'm everything you need me to be
I won't let you say goodbye
And I'll be your reason why
The last night away from me
Away from me
-- You like my helm? It's +5 sexterity. Like dexterity, but with 'sex' on the front... yeah...
ummmmm... guys?
you do know it can be a HAPPY song too, right??? y'all are killin' my buzz!

You'll Be In My Heart
I was in public, so I didn't cry so much as tear up, but just a few days ago I really listened to it for the first time in a while. A few parts got to me:
Why can't they understand
the way we feel
They just don't trust
what they can't explain
I know we're different but,
deep inside us
We're not that different at all
Don't listen to them
'Cause what do they know
We need each other,
to have, to hold
They'll see in time
I know
It took me a while to remember it was more about interracial (well, interspecies) familial love rather than being gay/bi.
Cold Water and Roads
Cold Water by Damien Rice is beautiful. I listened to a portion of it on itunes, and I bought it because I like Damien Rice. Then I listened to it on my earphones later and I started crying. The echoes and the lyrics...it just gets me no matter what. The second one, Roads by Portishead I heard on The L Word and I can't stop listening to it, it's so haunting.
'Cold Water' by Damien Rice
Cold, cold water surrounds me now
And all I've got is your hand
Lord, can you hear me now?
Lord, can you hear me now?
Lord, can you hear me now?
Or am I lost?
Love one's daughter
Allow me that
And I can't let go of your hand
Lord, can you hear me now?
Lord, can you hear me now?
Lord, can you hear me now?
Or am I lost?
[chanting] Cold, cold water surrounds me now
And all I've got is your hand
Lord, can you hear me now?
Lord, can you hear me now?
Lord, can you hear me now?
Or am I lost?
<
it cut the second song lyrics
well here are the lyrics to 'Roads' by Portishead
Ohh, can't anybody see
We've got a war to fight
Never found our way
Regardless of what they say
How can it feel, this wrong
From this moment
How can it feel, this wrong
Storm.. in the morning light
I feel
No more can I say
Frozen to myself
I got nobody on my side
And surely that ain't right
And surely that ain't right
Ohh, can't anybody see
We've got a war to fight
Never found our way
Regardless of what they say
How can it feel, this wrong
From this moment
How can it feel, this wrong
How can it feel, this wrong
This moment
How can it feel, this wrong
Ohh, can't anybody see
We've got a war to fight
Never found our way
Regardless of what they say
How can it feel, this wrong
From this moment
How can it feel, this wrong

'i can see the want to in your eyes' by conway twitty
"I see the sparkling little diamond on your hand
It's plain to see that you've already got a man
I can see you're not about to fall for any of my lines
I see the want to in your eyes
Deep in your smile there's a quiet, soft desire
Like the embers of a once raging fire
You know I could light that fire again,
you know it isn't wise
I see the want to in your eyes
How strong's a band of gold
Is it strong enough to hold,
when a love has grown cold
and a woman wants a love, sweet
and warm
How many women just like you have
silent schemes.
How many men like me do they sleep
with in their dreams
You can stay or you can go and
although I sympathize
I still see the want to in your eyes
I see the want to in your eyes"
although it's about a woman and man, it cuts deep.... at least for me...
