Just an idea. A thread of song lyrics you find inspiring, insightful, or just rings true for you?
It's the conviction in his (I don't know the lead singers name) voice for the chorus and the "smallness" in the way he says the word "something". That helps paint the conflict in the lyrics.. but the lyrics are clear regardless.
Restless tonight
Cause I wasted the light
Between both these times
I drew a really thin line
It’s nothing I planned
And not that I can
But you should be mine
Across that line
[Chorus:]
If I traded it all
If I gave it all away for one thing
Just for one thing
If I sorted it out
If I knew all about this one thing
Wouldn’t that be something
I promise I might
Not walk on by
Maybe next time
But not this time
Even though I know
I don’t want to know
Yeah I guess I know
I just hate how it sounds
[Chorus x2]
Even though I know
I don’t want to know
Yeah I guess I know
I just hate how it sounds
-----------------------------------------
Oh, and I can't foget Alanis..."All I really want"
I don’t want to dissect everything today
I don’t mean to pick you apart you see
But I can’t help it
There I go jumping before the gunshot has gone off
Slap me with a splintered ruler
And it would knock me to the floor if I wasn’t there already
If only I could hunt the hunter
And all I really want is some patience
A way to calm the angry voice
And all I really want is deliverance
(scream)
Do I wear you out
You must wonder why I’m relentless and all strung out
I’m consumed by the chill of solitary
I’m like estella
I like to reel it in and spit it out
I’m frustrated by your apathy
And I am frightened by the corrupted ways of this land
If only I could meet the maker
And I’m fascinated by the spiritual man
I am humbled by his humble nature
What I wouldn’t give to find a soulmate
Someone else to catch this drift
And what I wouldn’t give to meet a kindred
(scream)
Enough about me, let’s talk about you for a minute
Enough about you, let’s talk about life for a while
The conflicts, the craziness and the sound of pretenses
Falling all around... all around
Why are you so petrified of silence
Here can you handle this? (silence)
Did yo uthink about your bills, your ex, your deadlines
Or when you think you’re gonna die
Or did you olong for hte next distraction
And all I need now is intellectual intercourse
A sould to dig the hole much deeper
And I have no cencept of time other an it is flying
If only I could kill the killer
All I really want is some peace man
A place to find a common ground
And all I really want is a wavelength
All I really want is some comfort
A way to get my hands untied
And all I really want is some justice.
(scream)
(whispering)... Yeah, that's all I really want.
Just some patience.... some common ground.
By the way does anyone know why there isn't a key on the keyboard for the symbol for music? At least an emoticon on the web? Who uses this ~ or ^ or even #?
