Can't Stop the World by Gavin Rossdale

How far will you go?
How deep is your love?
Your bodies bruised and on fire
Cant stop the world
Cant stop desire
and I cant turn around
and I cant turn around

Somedays I can see the future
Somedays you seem so far
I dont know what I was thinking
Ive been gone to long
Ive been gone to long

Dont fall to pieces
Dont do up
or give down
Keep your eyes on the road
Cant stop the world
Cant stop the phones
and I cant turn around
But I cant turn around

Somedays I can see the future
Somedays you seem so far
I dont know wat I was thinking
Ive been gone to long

Somedays I can see the future
Somedays you seem so far
I dont know wat I was thinking
Ive been gone to long
Ive been gone...

The strange life
So random yeah
Its over you
I understand
What can I do to get to you?
ohhh
What can I do to get to you?

How far will you go?
How deep is your love?
Your bodies bruised and on fire
Cant stop the world
Cant stop desire

Somedays I can see the future
Somedays you seem so far
I dont know what I was thinking
Ive been gone to long

Somedays I can see the future
Somedays you seem so far
I dont know what I was thinking
Ive been gone to long
Ive been gone to long
Ive been gone to long

Take A Chance On Me by ABBA  
  
If you change your mind, I'm the first in line  
Honey I'm still free  
Take a chance on me  
If you need me, let me know, gonna be around  
If you've got no place to go, if you're feeling down  
If you're all alone when the pretty birds have flown  
Honey I'm still free  
Take a chance on me  
Gonna do my very best and it ain't no lie  
If you put me to the test, if you let me try  
  
Take a chance on me  
(That's all I ask of you honey)  
Take a chance on me  
  
We can go dancing, we can go walking, as long as we're together  
Listen to some music, maybe just talking, get to know you better  
'Cos you know I've got  
So much that I wanna do, when I dream I'm alone with you  
It's magic  
You want me to leave it there, afraid of a love affair  
But I think you know  
That I can't let go  
  
If you change your mind, I'm the first in line  
Honey I'm still free  
Take a chance on me  
If you need me, let me know, gonna be around  
If you've got no place to go, if you're feeling down  
If you're all alone when the pretty birds have flown  
Honey I'm still free  
Take a chance on me  
Gonna do my very best and it ain't no lie  
If you put me to the test, if you let me try  
  
Take a chance on me  
(Come on, give me a break will you?)  
Take a chance on me  
Oh you can take your time baby, I'm in no hurry, know I'm gonna get you  
You don't wanna hurt me, baby don't worry, I ain't gonna let you  
Let me tell you now  
My love is strong enough to last when things are rough  
It's magic  
You say that I waste my time but I can't get you off my mind  
No I can't let go  
'Cos I love you so  
  
If you change your mind, I'm the first in line  
Honey I'm still free  
Take a chance on me  
If you need me, let me know, gonna be around  
If you've got no place to go, if you're feeling down  
If you're all alone when the pretty birds have flown  
Honey I'm still free  
Take a chance on me  
Gonna do my very best, baby can't you see  
Gotta put me to the test, take a chance on me  
(Take a chance, take a chance, take a chance on me)  
  
Ba ba ba ba baa, ba ba ba ba baa  
Honey I'm still free  
Take a chance on me  
Gonna do my very best, baby can't you see  
Gotta put me to the test, take a chance on me  
(Take a chance, take a chance, take a chance on me)  
  
Ba ba ba ba baa, ba ba ba ba baa ba-ba  
Honey I'm still free  
Take a chance on me  

[Lady Viola Desideria]

The Winner Takes it All  
  
I don't wanna talk  
About the things we've gone through  
Though it's hurting me  
Now it's history  
I've played all my cards  
And that's what you've done too  
Nothing more to say  
No more ace to play  
  
The winner takes it all  
The loser standing small  
Beside the victory  
That's her destiny  
  
I was in your arms  
Thinking I belonged there  
I figured it made sense  
Building me a fence  
Building me a home  
Thinking I'd be strong there  
But I was a fool  
Playing by the rules  
  
The gods may throw a dice  
Their minds as cold as ice  
And someone way down here  
Loses someone dear  
The winner takes it all  
The loser has to fall  
It's simple and it's plain  
Why should I complain?  
  
But tell me does she kiss  
Like I used to kiss you?   
Does it feel the same  
When she calls your name?   
Somewhere deep inside  
You must know I miss you  
But what can I say  
Rules must be obeyed  
  
The judges will decide  
The likes of me abide  
Spectators of the show  
Always staying low  
The game is on again  
A lover or a friend  
A big thing or a small  
The winner takes it all  
  
I don't wanna talk  
Cos it makes me feel sad  
And I understand  
You've come to shake my hand  
I apologize  
If it makes you feel bad  
Seeing me so tense  
No self-confidence  
But you see  
The winner takes it all  
The winner takes it all  
  
The game is on again  
A lover or a friend  
A big thing or a small  
The winner takes it all  
  
The winner takes it all

I Grieve - Peter Gabriel

It was only one hour ago
It was all so different then
Nothing yet has really sunk in
Looks like it always did
This flesh and bone
It's just the way that you are tied in
But there's no one home
I grieve...
for you
You leave...
Me
So hard to move on
Still loving what's gone
They say life carries on...
Carries on and on and on...
And on

The news that truly shocks
is the empty, empty page
While the final rattle rocks
Its empty, empty cage...
And I can't handle this
I grieve...
For you
You leave...
Me
Let it out and move on
Missing what's gone
They say life carries on...
They say life carries on and on...
And on

Life carries on in the people I meet
In every one that's out on the street
In all the dogs and cats
In the flies and rats
In the rot and the rust
In the ashes and the dust
Life carries on and on and on...
And on
Life carries on and on and on...

Its just the car that we ride in
The home we reside in
The face that we hide in
The way we are tied in
And life carries on and on and on...
And on
Life carries on and on and on...
Did I dream this belief
Or did I believe this dream
Now I can find relief
I grieve...

[Darth Finitus]

Damn, you people still using walls of text for songs? This is the internet baby, get with the program! Now behold one of the most epic anime songs evar!



Too bad the song is basically talking about how awesome Shinji is and anyone who's watched Eva knows Shinji is not awesome and is a little shikse.

This one's for you Pat:



MOLEST ME PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111one

[Taaru Masako]

There are so many songs to consider when I think about the storyline we are currently going through. Few of them have lyrics, however, because I generally prefer symphonic or soundtrack samples.

However, one of songs with lyrics is Rammstein's "Reise, Reise".



The youtube vid is a mashup of the song with the German classic "Das Boot." I'll post the German lyrics, but I won't bother with an English translation. Rammstein's songs are loaded with puns and double (even TRIPLE!) meanings that can really only be appreciated by German speakers. Safe to say, however, that the song is about moral relativity, with the central message being "Everyone does it their own way".

If you want a translation, go ahead and google it. Maybe I'll give a better explication later....

Lyrics:

Auch auf den Wellen wird gefochten
Wo Fisch und Fleisch zur See geflochten
Der eine sticht die Lanz' im Heer
Der andere wirft sie in das Meer

Ahoi

Reise, Reise Seemann Reise
Jeder tut's auf seine Weise
Der eine stößt den Speer zum Mann
Der andere zum Fische dann

Reise, Reise Seemann Reise
Und die Wellen weinen leise
In ihrem Blute steckt ein Speer
Bluten leise in das Meer

Die Lanze muss im Fleisch ertrinken
Fisch und Mann zur Tiefe sinken
Wo die schwarze Seele wohnt
ist kein Licht am Horizont

Ahoi

Reise, Reise Seemann Reise
Jeder tut's auf seine Weise
Der eine stößt den Speer zum Mann
Der andere zum Fische dann

Reise, Reise Seemann Reise
Und die Wellen weinen leise
In ihrem Blute steckt ein Speer
Bluten leise in das Meer

Reise, Reise Seemann Reise
Und die Wellen weinen leise
In ihrem Herzen steckt ein Speer
Bluten sich am Ufer leer

[Patrick Starkiller]

I haven't been able to stop listening to this song lately. Unfortunately this is only the short version of the song.

When You're Falling - Afro Celt Sound System ft. Peter Gabriel

[Nessa Henlen]

I found this band not to long ago and love pretty much all of their songs.

CHERRYBLOSSOM - DIVE TO WORLD

[Lady Viola Desideria]

Broken Wings by Alter Bridge

Fight the fight alone
When the world is full of victims
Dims a fading light
In our souls

Leave the peace alone
Now we all are slowly changing
Dims a fading light
In our souls

In my opinion seeing is to know
The things we hold
Are always first to go
And who's to say
We won't end up alone

[CHORUS]

On broken wings I'm falling
And it won't be long
The skin on me is burning
By the fires of the sun
On skinned knees
I'm bleeding
And it won't be long
I've got to find that meaning
And I'll search for so long

Cry ourselves to sleep
We will sleep alone forever
Will you lay me down
In the same place with all I love

Mend the broken homes
Care for them they are our brothers
Save the fading light in our souls

In my opinion seeing is to know
What you give
Will always carry you
And who's to say
We won't survive it too

[CHORUS]

Set a-free all
Relying on their will
To make me all that I am
And all I'll be

Set a-free all
Will fall between the cracks
With memories of all that I am
And all I'll be

[CHORUS]

[Thera Quyen]

If Today Was Your Last Day by Chad Kroeger

My best friend gave me the best advice
He said each day's a gift and not a given right
Leave no stone unturned, leave your fears behind
And try to take the path less traveled by
That first step you take is the longest stride

If today was your last day and tomorrow was too late
Could you say goodbye to yesterday?
Would you live each moment like your last
Leave old pictures in the past?
Donate every dime you had, if today was your last day?
What if, what if, if today was your last day?

Against the grain should be a way of life
What's worth the price is always worth the fight
Every second counts 'cause there's no second try
So live like you're never living twice
Don't take the free ride in your own life

If today was your last day and tomorrow was too late
Could you say goodbye to yesterday?
Would you live each moment like your last?
Leave old pictures in the past?
Donate every dime you had?

And would you call those friends you never see?
Reminisce old memories?
Would you forgive your enemies?
And would you find that one you're dreaming of?
Swear up and down to God above
That you'd finally fall in love if today was your last day?

If today was your last day
Would you make your mark by mending a broken heart?
You know it's never too late to shoot for the stars
Regardless of who you are

So do whatever it takes
'Cause you can't rewind a moment in this life
Let nothing stand in your way
'Cause the hands of time are never on your side

If today was your last day and tomorrow was too late
Could you say goodbye to yesterday?
Would you live each moment like your last?
Leave old pictures in the past?
Donate every dime you had?

And would you call those friends you never see?
Reminisce old memories?
Would you forgive your enemies?
And would you find that one you're dreaming of
Swear up and down to God above
That you'd finally fall in love if today was your last day?

[Jerle-Ashka Shannara]

Angry by Matchbox 20

So scream you, out from behind the bitter ache
You're hanging on the memory, you need most
You still want love, ugly, smooth and delicate
But not without affection, not alone

And instead of wishing that it would get better
Man you're seeing that you just get angrier

And it's good, that I'm not, angry
I need to get over
I'm not, angry, anymore

Cry when you cry, run when you run
Love when you love
Represent the ashes
That you leave behind

And instead of wishing that the road had shoulder
Man you're seeing that you're sinking over time

And it's good that I'm not angry
I just need to get over
I'm not angry
It's dragging me under
I'm not angry

I'm not angry it's never been enough
It gets inside and it tears you up
I'm not angry but I've never been above it
You see through me don't you

And it's good that I'm not angry
I just need to get over
I'm not angry
It's dragging me under
I'm not angry

And it's good that I'm not angry
I just need to get over
I'm not angry, anymore

[Jerle-Ashka Shannara]

Bed of Lies by Matchbox 20

No I would not sleep in this bed of lies
So toss me out and turn in
And there'll be no rest for these tired eyes
I'm marking it down to learning
I am

Don't think that I can take another empty moment
Don't think that I can fake another hollow smile
It's not enough just to be sorry
Don't think that I could take another talk about it

Just like me you got needs
And they're only a whisper away
And we softly surrender
To these lives that we've tendered away

No I would not sleep in this bed of lies
So toss me out and turn in
And there'll be no rest for these tired eyes
I'm marking it down to learning
I am

Don't wanna be the one who turns the whole thing over
Don't wanna be somewhere where I just don't belong
Where it's not enough just be sorry

Don't you know I feel the darkness closing in
Tried to be more than me
And I gave till it all went away
And we've only surrendered
To the worst part of these winters we've made

No I would not sleep in this bed of lies
So toss me out and turn in
And there'll be no rest for these tired eyes
I'm marking it down to learning
I am

I am all that I'll ever be
When you - lay your hands
Over me but don't go weak on me now
I know that it's weak
But God help me I need this

I will not sleep in this bed of lies
So toss me out and turn in
And there'll be no rest for these tired eyes
I'm marking it down to learning
I'm marking it down to learning
'Cause I am

[Jerle-Ashka Shannara]

Busted by Matchbox 20

Well, I forget when the words were only words
She knows the party makes me nervous
In this stage we can't get hurt
Don't try to understand me

We're too cool to be alone
But, not too crazy to get busted

Well, I found out one life just ain't enough
I need another soul to feed on
I'm the flame, I can't get burnt
I'm wholly understated

An' I found silence in this space
An on and off again attraction
And I need such amazing grace
Heaven sweep me away, away

Love don't change, don't come around here
Don't wear my heart on your sleeve
Like a high school letter

Don't strain, 'cause nothing ever comes from it
And the people we've become, well
They've never been the people who we are

Well, I strap on one horse and prayed for luck
I dug another hole to bleed
I know exactly how this works
I need a new feel dirty

I don't need you crowding up my space
Well, I just want to get inside you, inside
You can't believe the heart you save
Giving something away, away

Love don't change, don't come around here
Don't wear my heart on your sleeve
Like a high school letter

Don't strain, 'cause nothing ever comes from it
And the people we've become, well
They've never been the people who we are

Don't change, don't come around here
Don't mistake this for something more
For something better

Don't strain, 'cause nothing ever comes from it
And the people we've become, well
They've never been the people who we are
Who we are, yeah

Well, I dreamed that the world was crumbling down
We sat on my back porch and watched it
Well, I dreamed that the buildings all fell down
We sat on my back porch and watched it

Yeah, well, I dreamed that the world was crumbling down
We sat on my back porch and watched it
In my head I heard the sound
Like fifteen strangers dancing

But oh, how I want you to know me
Oh, how I want you to know me
Oh, how I wish I was somebody else, baby
Oh, how I wish you could own, own me

Love don't change, don't come around here
Don't wear my heart on your sleeve
Like a high school letter

Don't strain, 'cause nothing ever comes from it
And the people we've become, well
They've never been the people who we are

Don't change, don't come around here
Don't wear my heart on your sleeve
Like a high school letter

Don't strain, 'cause nothing ever comes from it
And the people we've become, well
They've never been the people who we are
Who we are, who we are

[Jerle-Ashka Shannara]

Could I Be You by Matchbox 20

Something is wrong with the sum of us
That I can't seem to erase
How can I be the only one
Without a smile on my face

[Chorus]

Well now, you're laughing out loud
At just the thought of being alive
And I was wondering
Could I just be you tonight

You show your pain like it really hurts
And I can't even start to feel mine
Well, I'm standing in place
With my head first and I shake, I shake
I see your progress stretched out for miles and miles

[Chorus]

You're laughing out loud
At just the thought of being alive, yeah
And I was wondering
Could I just be you tonight

This is the sound that I make
These are the words I chose
Somehow the right thing to say
Just won't come out
Just won't come out

[Chorus]

And you're laughing out loud
At the thought of being alive
And I was wondering
Could I just be you tonight

And I was wondering
Could I just be you tonight

na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na

And I was wondering
na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
And I was wondering
na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Yeah, and I was wondering
na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
I was wondering, yeah
