    Song lyrics

    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 #?

    the only reason i can think of is that no symbol for music exists...


    "that's pretty deep stuff. that's not, 'yo yo yippy yo yo bling bling, smack a bitch.'"

    Oh, heck... there sure is one... or two... sorta.
    I never learned to read music. So I alway's thought the clef symbol universally meant music.

    Or the general sign for a sinle note... "say's music."
    Anyhow. Some emoticons like this would be cool at least. Well I guess I found one at msn.com for their instant messenger.
    So I guess my question then really is... Why is their no symbol for music! Why Terrick! Why!
    Back to the thread. Any lyrics. you'd like to share?
