Song Lines that sum up your world view at this very second

[Eutychus]

"Desire, despair, desire ...
So many monsters..."

[andygirl]

"It's not a habit, it's true
I feel alive
If you don't have it you're on the other side
I'm not an addict, maybe that's a lie"

K's Choice- Not an addict

_{These Altoids will not break me. I swear. Haven't had one all day.}

[Freudian Slit]

I may be dumb
I'm not a dweeb
I'm just a sucker with no self-esteem.

[iampunha]

Gooooo andygirl!

"When I see your smile" except replace smile with Screen Name.

Damn, I need to get a life.

[dewt]

At this very moment?

cypress hill

"I wanna get high, so high..."

[Silver Fire]

I should kick you, beat you, fuck you, and then shoot you in your fucking head.

I'm kind of crabby today...

[el_mono]

"Ain't love a bitch."

[Persephone]

[i]"We gotta get out of this place..."

[Freudian Slit]

andygirl: my second simulpost!!

[Nocturne]

"No colors anymore, I want them to turn black."

[Monster104]

"I learned to disappear and I've learned to hide my pain, in a fucked up world where there's too much hate,
I just don't get it and there's something wrong with me, look inside me then I'll see that
I'm looking for someone,
looking for someone who feels like I do
I'm looking for someone,
Looking for someone who feels like I do"

Eh. Things suck right now.

[Le Sang]

Loneliness threatens like the echo of a memory,
A past still not forgotten.
Nothing else in this world
Could ever take your place.

Don't want to be left here all alone.
I'm scared and I don't know if I can go on.
I don't wanna be here all alone.
Letting go and I'm still holding on.

Reaching for a promise through a shattered dream
Will you still be there?
Nothing else in this world
Could ever take your place.

[Minty Rae]

I close my eyes, only for a moment, and the moment's gone.
All my dreams pass before my eyes, a curiosity.
Dust in the wind. All they are is dust in the wind.

[fish in the sky]

Well, not right this second but a few days ago I would have said all of the song Blue Pastures by James. I'm feeling better now. ::weak smile::


Blue pastures - fade away
Green rivers in silver light
I'm walking to the sound of distant bells
So peaceful, I don't know who I am
And just when I think it's clear, it turns all grey again
And I wonder who will find me in the snow
And just when I thought I was free, I got pulled in again
Once you're in, you're in

Blue pastures calling home
I'm walking, but I can't stand anymore
Hear voices, can't tell near or far
Weird voices - lay me down
And I don't see why I'm obliged to just carry on
When everything I touch turns out wrong
And I feel I've committed some crime - but I don't know what I've done
One day life just wins
One day life just wins

Still breathing, but I'm tired and I wanna go home
Still breathing, but I'm not sure anymore
Still breathing, but it doesn't really matter if I fade away
Fall into this sleep - fall into the deep

[Persephone]

This one too:

"Get out of here, get me some money too..."

[Sapphire Bullet]

a blue eyed boy meets a brown eyed girl
you can sew it up but you still see the tear
baby got blue skies up ahead but in this summer(?) raincloud, ours is a stormy kind of love

yeah, I know it's sappy.

touch me, take me to that other place
reach me, i know I'm not a hopeless case

what you don't have you don't need it now
what you don't know you cant feel somehow
what you dont have you dont need it now

both are U2 songs- I have been in a U2 place for weeks, interrupted only by the occasional REM song.

[Sapphire Bullet]

speaking of REM...



bring my happy back again

[Nocturne]

Sapphire, the line you're questioning is:

"Baby got blue skies up ahead, but in this I'm a rain cloud, ours is a stormy kind of love."

[Sapphire Bullet]

thanks Nocturne

[Arden Ranger]

"Life is a lemon and I want my money back."

[Geobabe]

I'm drunk
and right now I'm so in love with you
and I don't want to think too much about what we should or shouldn't do
lay my hands on Heaven and the sun and the moon and the stars
while the devil wants to fuck me in the back of his car

nothing quite like the feel of something new

***

I'm not sure of what I should do
when everything I'm think of is you
all of my excuses turn to lies
maybe God will cover up his eyes

I know it's not the right thing
and I know it's not the good think
but kinda I want to

***

I just want something
I just want something I can never have

[tisiphone]

Oh Lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz
My friends all drive Porsches, I must make amends
Worked hard all my lifetime, no help from my friends
Oh Lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz

[chique]

I'm much to young to feel this damn old....

[TheNerd]

"'cause all I have left is my memories of yesterday.
Oooh, Sour times. Nobody loves me, it's true."
- Sour Times, the Velvet Chain version, not the Portishead version


Damn, we have a lot of depressed/depressing people in here.

[mega the roo]

"I know that my decision to change my life was not that hard"

[Medea's Child]

Without you
the tides change
the boys run
the oceans crash

the crowds roar
the days soar
the babies cry
Without you

The moon glows
The river flows
But I die
Without you

the world revives
colors renew
But I know Blue
only Blue
Lonely Blue
within Me, Blue
Without You.

[Ad Noctum]

Bittersweet Symphone; The Verve

"Yea it's a bittersweet, symphony that's life.... try to make ends meet; yer a slave to Money then you die"

[absoul]

[applsmak]

"Yesterday....all my troubles seemed so far away..."

[Girlbysea]

If I had it, to do, all over, I'd do it, all over with you...

[Lexicon]

Fuck you, I won't do what you tell me.

Rage Against the Machine.
This has pretty much summed up my "world view" my whole life.

How did it start?
Well I don't know I just feel the craving.
I see the flesh and it smells fresh
And it's just there for the taking.
These little girls they make me feel
so goddamn exhilerated.
I fill them up
I can't give it up.
the pain that I'm just erasing.
...
I don't know why I'm so fuckin' cold
I don't know why it hurts me.
All I wanna do is
get with you and make the pain go away.
Why do I have a conscience?
All it does is fuck with me.
Why do I have this torment?
All I wanna do is fuck it away.

KoRn. Don't think I'm some sort of psycho. I've been playing Vampire: The Masquerade and Mage: The Ascension a lot lately and this song is almost the very essence of my characters.

And that's about the time she walked away from me.
Nobody likes you when your 23 and you still act like you're in freshman year.
What the hell is wrong with you?
My friends say I should act my age.
What's my age again? What's my age again?
That's about the time that she broke up with me.
No one should take themselves so seriously.
...
I never wanna act my age.
What's my age again? What's my age again?

Blink182. It's mostly just the "no one should take themselves so seriously" part.

So pardon me while I burst
into flames.
I've had enough of the world
and it's people's mindless games.

and

...don't let the world
bring you down.
Not everyone here is
that fucked up and cold.

Incubus. They kind of offset each other, and lessen my desire to put a bullet in the skull of every panda that won't screw to save it's species.

[elelle]

I live on a big round ball
I never do dream I may fall
And even if one day I do
Well, I'll jump off and smile back at you.

I don't even know where we are
They'll tell you we're circling a star
Well, I'll take their word, I don't know
I'm dizzy, so it may be so

Jesse Winchester, best incantation by Jimmie Dale Gilmore.

[Coldfire]

"You know how complex women are"
_{Rush - Cold Fire}

[Enderw24]

Been around the world, see that only stupid people are breeding.

[Dylan]

...run to the water and find me there
burnt to the core but not broken...
a million mile fall from grace
thank god we missed the ground

LIVE-Run to the water

...Is it safe to look within and erase all that's been?
and all that's been between...is it gone?
tell me what went wrong
'cause baby, I'm not that strong
and I'm walking wounded
all alone

are you comfortable and numb?...

THE TEA PARTY-Walking wounded

Paul Simon:

You wanna be a leader? You want to change the game?
Turn your back on money, walk away from fame
You wanna be a missionary, you got that missionary zeal?
Let a stranger change your life, how's that make you feel?
You wanna be a writer, don't know where or when?
Find a quiet place, use a humble pen"

Ani Difranco:

And we lose sight of everything when we have to keep checking our backs
We should all just smile, come clean and relax

Paul Simon (ok, so i really like Paul Simon....):

These are the days of miracle and wonder, and don't cry, baby, dont cry, dont cry, dont cry...

[Wicked Blue]

How will I laugh tomorrow when I can't even smile today?

[Frannie]

Well, your railroad gate, you know I just can't jump it
Sometimes it gets so hard, you see
I'm just sitting here beating on my trumpet
With all these promises you left for me
But where are you tonight, sweet Marie?

[tatertot]

Now the world don't move
To the beat of just one drum
What might be right for you
May not be right for some

Okay, the truth comes out, I base my entire life on sitcom theme songs. Happy now?

[tiggeril]

When I was three, I thought the world revolved around me
I was wrong
And so I sing along
And if you dance, then dance with me


I know a girl, a girl called Party
Party girl
I know she wants more than a party
Party girl

"Party Girl" by U2

She's the wave
She turns the tide
She sees the man inside the child


It's alright, it's alright, it's alright
She moves in mysterious ways

"Mysterious Ways" by U2

Love is blindness
I don't want to see
Won't you wrap the night
Around me
Oh my heart
Love is blindness

"Love is Blindness" by U2

Hanging by threads of palest silver
I could have stayed that way forever
Bad blood and ghosts wrapped tight around me
Nothing could ever seem to touch me
I lose what I love most

"A Stroke of Luck" by Garbage

[Show_Biz]

I like instrumentals. "Cherry Pink and Apple Blossom White" works for me. I feel like it's already early spring, since it's so mild out today.

[Nacho4Sara]

Oh I am a lonely painter
I live in a box of paints
I'm frightened by the devil
and I'm drawn to those ones that ain't afraid.
I remember that time you told me, you said,
"Love is touching souls,"
surely you touched mine
'cause part of you pours out of me
In these lines from time to time.

Oh you're in my blood like holy wine
You taste so bitter and so sweet
Oh I could drink a case of you, darling.
And I would still be on my feet.
I would still be on my feet.

- "A Case of You" by Joni Mitchell.

Sort of a yearning, a confusion, an unexpressed-desire-trying-to-get-out sort of feeling. Lovely and painful at the same time.

[The Mermaid]

The lover speaks about the monsters

Ahhh Annie Lennox

and in a similar vein

..this the book I never read
these are the words I never said
this the path I'll never tread
these are the dreams I'll dream instead

this the joy that's seldom spread
these are tears, the tears we've shed
this is the fear this is the dread
these are the contents of my head

and these are the years we've spent
and this is what they represent
and this is how I feel

do you know how I feel?
Cause if you think you know..
I don't think you know what I feel
I don't think you know what I fear
You don't know what I fear

[Frannie]

... more Dylan:

I didn't want to want you, but now I have no choice
It's too late to listen to that warning voice
All I hear is thunder of two hearts beat
Going ninety miles an hour down a dead end street
Ninety miles an hour down a dead end street.

[drewbert]

I resolved to call her up a thousand times a day
and ask her if she'll marry me in some old fashioned way
but my silent fears have gripped me
long before I reach the phone
long before my tongue has tripped me
must I always be alone - The Police

Not that I actually planned to ask her to marry me or anything, not that I actually live in the same time zone as her anymore, but what the hell, l had to listen to that before calling to say hello. Particularly because she had the power to turn me into a quivering doofus should I come within a 10 meter radius of her. *sigh*

[Nocturne]

I have a couple more now that I think of it.
"Hello darkness, my old friend...I've come to talk with you again."

"I won't disturb the slumber of feelings that have died, if I never loved I never would've cried."

Both Simon and Garfunkel, "Sound of Silence" and "I Am a Rock," respectively.

"Don't fall away and leave me to myself
Don't fall away and leave love bleeding
In my hands, in my hands again."

Fuel, "Hemorrhage".

And on a happier note:

"It's a beautiful day...don't let it get away."

[Dylan]

The motorcycle black madonna
Two-wheeled gypsy queen
And her silver-studded phantom cause
The gray flannel dwarf to scream
As he weeps to wicked birds of prey
Who pick up on his bread crumb sins
And there are no sins inside the Gates of Eden

The kingdoms of Experience
In the precious wind they rot
While paupers change possessions
Each one wishing for what the other has got
And the princess and the prince
Discuss what's real and what is not
It doesn't matter inside the Gates of Eden

[el_mono]

Boy, most of us are a bit maudlin on this Sunday evening aren't we? Sometimes it's nice to know you aren't alone in your despair, huh. Good thing is, it'll all come around! May all of you find your tomorrow just a bit nicer than today. We'll all get through it. Just wait and see...

[robgruver]

Something tells me this can't be real.
I know shes out there waiting
It's time.
It's time.
Why can't I fall in love.

"Why Can't I fall In Love" Chagall Guevara
