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

[eulalia]

GensericMy take on working for a living:

“I’m fixing a hole where the rain gets in, and stops my
mind from wandering where it will go…”

[wyldelf]

It’s my party and I’ll cry if I want to

[Muffin]

I see skies of blue, and clouds of white
The bright blessed day, the dark sacred night.
And I think to myself… what a wonderful world.
…
I hear babies cry, I watch them grow;
They’ll learn much more than I’ll never know.
And I think to myself… what a wonderful world
…
The colors of the rainbow, so pretty in the sky,
Are also on the faces, of people going by.
I see friends, shaking hands, saying how do you do
They’re really saying, “I love you.”
…
Yes I think to myself… what a wonderful world.

[Falcon]

New song again. (I’m a musical freak, what can I say…) And thanks to Coldy for sending me this song.

Sister can you hear me now
The ringing in your ears
I’m down on the ground
My luck’s been dry for years

I’m lost in the dark
And I feel like a dinosaur
Broken face and broken hands
I’m a broken man

I’ve hit the wall
I’m about to fall
But I’m closing in on it
I feel so weak
On a losing streak
Watch my taillights fade to black

I read a thing about this girl
She was a hermit in her world
Her story was much like mine
She could be my valentine

And although we’ve never met
I won’t forget her yet
She cut herself off from her past
Now she’s alone at last

I feel so sick
Lost love’s last licks
But I’m closing down on it
I feel so weak
On a losing streak
Watch my taillights fade to black

Lost my life in cheap wine
Now it’s quiet time
Cappy Dick nor Jesus Christ
Could not help my fate

But I’m underneath a gun
I’m singing about my past
Had myself a wonderful thing
But I could not make it last

I’ve hit the wall
I’m about to fall
But I’m closing in on it
I feel so small
Underneath it all
Watch my taillights fade to black

• Buffalo Tom, “Taillights Fade”

[DigitalMuse]

I can taste your innocence so young and sweet like mother made ya
Everything froze in ice these motherfuckers just got wicked
Well I can’t explain this little man taken over can’t explain the way that I feel
Everyone got twisted up
Everyone got behind my back and broke it cuz it’s my world
Everyone got twisted up all your friends got behind
My back and broke it cuz It’s my world
1, 2, 3 here I come with the wicked
You are the love I never found

[Nacho4Sara]

From “Now I Know,” by the Cowboy Junkies:

Now I know, now I know what it means to be broken
Now I know, now I know what it means to be bared
You in the chair perceptibly sinking
I’m on my knees once again made aware
of the world out there
Grief is a word to describe the absense of feeling
Now I know, now I know what it means to be broken

[Nocturne]

Another few lines that just keep running through my head that I can’t get rid of:

“Eyes of a fallen angel
Eyes of a tragedy.”

Three Libras by A Perfect Circle

[adam420]

It’s a bullshit three ring circus sideshow
Of Freaks here in this hopeless fucking hole we call LA
The only way to fix it is to flush it all away
Any fuckin time
Any fuckin day

Aenema by tool

[Erika]

feels like reckless driving when we’re talking
it’s fun while it lasts, and it’s faster than walking
but no one’s going to sympathize when we crash
they’ll say “you hit what you head for, you get what you ask”
and we’ll say we didn’t know, we didn’t even try
one minute there was road beneath us, the next just sky
~~ Ani DiFranco, Falling Is Like This

[sub]

If you’d accept surrender, I’ll give up some more
Weren’t you adored
I cannot be without you, matter of fact
I’m on your back, I’m on your back, I’m on your back
If you walk out on me, I’m walking after you
If you walk out on me, I’m walking after you
Another heart is cracked in two, I’m on your back

Walking After You, The Foo Fighters

Sunny days
Where have you gone?
I get the strangest feeling you belong
Why does it always rain on me?
Is it because I lied when I was seventeen?
Why does it always rain on me?
Even when the sun is shining
I can’t avoid the lightning

Oh, where did the blue skies go?
And why is it raining so?
It’s so cold
I can’t sleep tonight
Everybody’s saying everything’s all right
Still I can’t close my eyes
I’m seeing a tunnel at the end of the lights

Why Does it Always Rain on Me?, Travis

He’s going the distance
He’s going for speed
She’s all alone, all alone, all alone in a time of need
Because he’s racing and pacing and plotting the course
He’s fighting and biting and riding on his horse
He’s going the distance
No trophies, no flowers, no flashbulbs, no line
He’s haunted by something he cannot define

The Distance, Cake
