Lately I’ve been thinking of three song lyrics that describe how I’ve been feeling. They are all from Pink Floyd’s Dark Side Of The Moon.

The first one is from the song Brain Damage

“And when the cloud bursts, thunder in your ear, you shout and no one seems to hear.”

Then there are two from the song Time.

“The sun is the same in a relative way, but your older.”

And

“And you run, and you run to catch up with the sun but it’s sinking.”

So what song lyrics really define how you are feeling currently or whenever?

Anything from Pink Floyd: Shine on you crazy diamond, Comfortably numb.

Remember when you were young, you shone like the sun.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
Now there's a look in your eyes, like black holes in the sky.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
You were caught on the crossfire of childhood and stardom,
Blown on the steel breeze.
Come on you target for faraway laughter,
Come on you stranger, you legend, you martyr, and shine!

TEXAS RADIO (The Doors)
I wanna tell you 'bout Texas Radio and the Big Beat
Comes out of the Virginia swamps
Cool and slow with plenty of precision
With a back beat narrow and hard to master

Some call it heavenly in its brilliance
Others, mean and rueful of the Western dream
I love the friends I have gathered together on this thin raft
We have constructed pyramids in honor of our escaping
This is the land where the Pharaoh died

The Negroes in the forest brightly feathered
They are saying, "Forget the night.
Live with us in forests of azure.
Out here on the perimeter there are no stars
Out here we is stoned – immaculate."

April Come She Will - Simon & Garfunkel

April come she will
When streams are ripe and swelled with rain
May she will stay
Resting in my arms again
June she'll change her tune
In restless walks she'll prowl the night
July she will fly
And give no warning to her flight
August die she must
The autumn winds blow chilly and cold
September I remember
A love once new has now grown old

[SMRY]

The Night We Met - Lord Huron

I am not the only traveler
Who has not repaid his debt
I've been searching for a trail to follow again
Take me back to the night we met

And then I can tell myself
What the hell I'm supposed to do
And then I can tell myself
Not to ride along with you

I had all and then most of you
Some and now none of you
Take me back to the night we met
I don't know what I'm supposed to do
Haunted by the ghost of you
Oh, take me back to the night we met

When the night was full of terrors
And your eyes were filled with tears
When you had not touched me yet
Oh, take me back to the night we met

I had all and then most of you
Some and now none of you
Take me back to the night we met
I don't know what I'm supposed to do
Haunted by the ghost of you
Take me back to the night we met

Souvenirs - Dan Fogelberg

Here is a poem
That my lady sent down
Some morning while
I was away.
Wrote on the back of
A leaf that she found
Somewhere around Monterey.

And here is the key
To a house far away
Where I used to live
As a child.
They tore down the building
When I moved away
And left the key unreconciled.

And down in the canyon
The smoke starts to rise.
It rides on the wind
Till it reaches your eyes.
When faced with the past
The strongest man cries...cries.

And down in the canyon
The smoke starts to rise.
It rides on the wind
Till it reaches your eyes.
When faced with the past
The strongest man cries...cries.

And here is a sunrise
To set on your sill.
The ghosts of the dawn
Moving near.
They pass through your sorrow
And leave you quite still...
Sitting among souvenirs.

LOL!! I just posted it in another thread!!

Wheel in the Sky
Journey, Jonathan Cain
Winter is here again oh lord,
Haven't been home in a year or more
I hope she holds on a little longer
Sent a letter on a long summer day
Made of silver, not of clay
I've been runnin' down this dusty road
Wheel in the sky keeps on turnin'
I don't know where I'll be tomorrow
Wheel in the sky keeps on turnin'
I've been trying to make it home
Got to make it before too long
I can't take this very much longer
I'm stranded in the sleet and rain
Don't think…

Dani and Lizzy - Dancing in the Sky

the whole (or almost the whole) of kelly clarksons song because of you.

it always shocks me how much it reminds me of my childhood.
especially the line:

" because of you, I'm ashamed of my life, because it's empty"

dan le sac's song magician's assistant (about self injury)

emilie autumn's song- what if

tori amos's song- upside down

their's also another song by hollywood undead (I can't think of the title), but the chorus of that song certainly ressinates with me.

[OctobersBlackRose]

Dreadful Shadows - Ties of Time

"The rain soaks my apparels
The wind blow continuously, it's cold
A shelter is not visible
Protection seems to be out of reach

The severest way I had to go
The longest way I had to fall
Now all the ties are torn apart
I thought this is the end...

The moonlight is fragile
Like the coat of glass all around you
I often injured myself
The scars can not heal anymore

How often I collapsed when I desperately waited for a sign
All you ought to do was to free myself from my suffering and pain
Hopelessly I wander about in town
The scenes repeat time after time
I'm standing alone on the negative of the photograph of my life

Why is it only the worst I can feel?
Why can't I laugh and be glad, just like all of these fools?

The severest way I had to go
The longest way I had to fall
Now all the ties are torn apart
I thought this is the end...

The wind devastates all my thoughts - he can't blow them away
My eyelids are swollen, but what do I expect to see?"

WHOLE LOTTA ROSIE (AC/DC)

Wanna tell you story
About woman I know
When it comes to lovin'
She steals the show
She ain't exactly pretty
Ain't exactly small
Fourt'two thirt'ninefiftysix
You could say she's got it all
Never had a woman
Never had a woman like you
Doin' all the things
Doin' all the things you do
Ain't no fairy story
Ain't no skin and bones
But you give it all you got
Weighin' in at nineteen stone
You're a whole lotta woman
A whole lotta woman
Whole lotta Rosie
Whole lotta Rosie
Whole lotta Rosie
And you're a whole lotta woman

From All Alright by FUN.

I've given everyone I know
a good reason to go.
I was surprised you stuck around
long enough to figure out...

That it's all alright.
I guess it's all alright.
I got nothing left inside of my chest
but it's all alright.
Yeah, it's all alright.
I guess it's all alright.
I got nothing left inside of my chest
but it's all alright.

And now all my loves that come back to haunt me,
And my regrets, and texts sent to taunt me.
I never claimed to be more than a one-night stand
And all I've given everyone I know
a good reason to go.
But I came back with the belief
that everyone I love is gonna leave me.

And it's all alright.
I guess it's all alright.
I got nothing left inside of my chest
but it's all alright.
Yeah, it's all alright.
I guess it's all alright.
I got nothing left inside of my chest,
but it's all alright.

And I know, oh no,
You've fallen from the sun,
Crashing through the clouds.
I see you burning out.
And I know, oh no,
that I put up a front
But maybe just this once,
let me keep this one.

John Mayer -Bigger Than My Body

Yes, I’m grounded
Got my wings clipped
I'm surrounded (by)
All this pavement
Guess I'll circle
While I'm waiting
For my fuse to dry

Someday I'll fly
Someday I'll soar
Someday I'll be
So damn much more
'Cause I'm bigger than my body
Gives me credit for

[Raindropvampire]

Runaway Train by Soul Asylum

"Can you help me remember how to smile
Make it somehow all seem worthwhile
How on earth did I get so jaded
Life's mystery seems so faded"

Fire in the Sky -- Ozzy Osbourne

The introduction to his heartache began as a child
So it's no wonder that he grew up to be so wild.
So he protected his feelings in walls he imagined
But castles crumble exposing the frightened child.

Fire in the sky, can't you see that all my castles are burning.
Fire in the sky, won't you help me now my castles are burning.

In solitude he couldn't deal with his own existence,
The burning questions in the castles have still remained.
God only knows how he searched in vain for the answers,
Now castles crumble exposing his naked flames, yeah.

Fire in the sky, can't you see that all my castles are burning.
Fire in the sky, won't you help me now my castles are burning.
Fire in the sky, can't you see that all my castles are burning.
Fire in the sky, won't you help me now my castles are burning.

I spent Easter listening to all of the albums (on Apple Music) by the Roches. I was a diminishing punk when I heard the first album with the trio. I was undergoing an evolutionary move to ‘alternative music’ and they fitted right in.

I (poorly) wrote seven pages of lyric quotes — some no more than two words. Thinking of all of the lyrics I think that the best deal with both the surety and the failure of feminist love. Maggie, now gone, was the heart of the trio. But all three were/are talented. I fell in love with Terre’s strong profile.

“Struggling towards happiness.

A life that you try to put into a grave comes back every Easter.

The difference between what is and what is not.

You never told me why I had to go
so I imagined everything
and cursed my soul.

The love we think is lost,
never happened, stranger.

It was a big nothing.
I guess I never knew how big nothing could be.

I read the paper/I watch the news.

Going undercover with a person with a past.

He was in a plane crash
he plays the clarinet.

I am the only tree and everybody leaves.

Nobody knows.
Not even your best friend knows
the bind that you’re in.

Jerks on the loose.

Elizabeth is still a good name
to have
if you’re a girl.

I’m probably not
the kind of girl
you think you want.

Nightmares.
No angels on the phone.”

Nothing profound. Day-to-day crap vocalized.

For me it is usually anything deep and meaningful that captures my mood or speaks the truth about how things really are in the world.
It's funny that I just seen this thread because I just changed my signature a couple of hours ago to some lyrics to an oldies song.
I really feel that way too.

Brave by Sara Bareilles

You can be amazing
You can turn a phrase into a weapon or a drug
You can be the outcast
Or be the backlash of somebody’s lack of love
Or you can start speaking up
Nothing’s gonna hurt you the way that words do
And they settle ‘neath your skin
Kept on the inside and no sunlight
Sometimes a shadow wins
But I wonder what would happen if you
Say what you wanna say
And let the words fall out
Honestly I wanna see you be brave
With what you want to say
And let the words fall out
Honestly I wanna see you be brave
Everybody’s been there, everybody’s been stared down
By the enemy
Fallen for the fear and done some disappearing
Bow down to the mighty
Don’t run, stop holding your tongue
Maybe there’s a way out of the cage where you live
Maybe one of these days you can let the light in
Show me how big your brave is
Say what you wanna say
And let the words fall out
Honestly I wanna see you be brave
Innocence, your history of silence
Won’t do you any good
Did you think it would?
Let your words be anything but empty
Why don’t you tell them the truth?


Also Mothers of the Disappeared by U2

Midnight, our sons and daughters
Cut down, taken from us
Hear their heartbeat
We hear their heartbeat
In the wind we hear their laughter
In the rain we see their tears
Hear their heartbeat
We hear their heartbeat

Night hangs like a prisoner
Stretched over black and blue
Hear their heartbeat
We hear their heartbeat
In the trees our sons stand naked
Through the walls our daughters cry
See their tears in the rainfall

Show Me How to Live by Audioslave

And with the early dawn
Moving right along
I couldn't buy and eyeful of sleep
And in the aching night under satellites
I was not received
Built with stolen parts
A telephone in my heart
Someone get me a priest
To put my mind to bed
This ringing in my head
Is this a cure or is this a disease
Nail in my hand
From my creator
You gave me life
Now show me how to live
Nail in my hand
From my creator
You gave me life
Now show me how to live
And in the after birth
On the quiet earth
Let the stains remind you
You thought you made a man
You better think again
Before my role defines you
Nail in my hand
From my creator
You gave me life
Now show me how to live

Nail in my hand
From my creator
You gave me life
Now show me how to live
And in your waiting hands
I will land
And roll out of my skin
And in your final hours I will stand
Ready to begin

[Loose Screw x 2]

These lyrics resonate with me. The Jimi Hedrix Experience.
From the song "I don't Live Today"

Will I live tomorrow?
Well, I just can't say
Will I live tomorrow?
Well, I just can't say
But I know for sure
I don't live today
No sun comin' through my windows
Feel like I'm livin' at the bottom of a grave
No-ho sun comin' through my windows
Feel like I'm livin' at the bottom of a grave
I wish you'd hurry up and rescue me
So I can be on my miserable way

[mote.of.soul]

Excerpt from Idiot Wind by Bob Dylan

I been double-crossed now for the very last time and now I’m finally free
I kissed goodbye the howling beast on the borderline which separated you from me
You’ll never know the hurt I suffered nor the pain I rise above
And I’ll never know the same about you, your holiness or your kind of love
And it makes me feel so sorry

Idiot wind, blowing through the buttons of our coats
Blowing through the letters that we wrote
Idiot wind, blowing through the dust upon our shelves
We’re idiots, babe
It’s a wonder we can even feed ourselves.

I sang this a lot when I was leaving a low-paying job! "I'll Be Gone" Manfred Mann

Someday I'll have money
Money isn't easy to come by
By the time it's come by I'll be gone
I'll sing my song and I'll be gone

Someday I'll have loving
Loving isn't easy to come by
By the time it's come by I'll be gone
I'll sing my song and I'll be gone

Living a life of luxury
Doesn't seem to be for me
That's not for me
Moving around comes naturally
Moving around and feeling free
That’s for me

[Emotionally Dead]

I have so many songs that resonate with me, but I will list a few.

Cold, but I'm Still Here - Evans Blue

Hello, I'm your martyr, will you be my gangster
Can you feel my trigger hand, moving further down your back
When you hide, hide inside that body
But just remember that when I touch you
The more you shake, the more you give away
The more you turn away, the more I want you to stay
Cold, but I'm still here, blind, ‘cause I'm so blind, say never
We're far from comfortable this time
Cold, now we're so cold, mine, and you're not mine, say never
We're far from obvious this time
You're so endearing, you're so beautiful,
Well I don't look like they do, and I don't love like they do
But I don't hate like they do
Am I ever on your mind?
Cold, you broke me from the very first night
I'd love you ‘til the day that I die
I'm far too comfortable this time
Cold, I loved you from the very first night
You broke me ‘til the day that I die
I'm far too obvious this time

What's This Life For? - Creed

Hurray for
A child that makes it through
If there's any way
Because the answer lies in you
They're laid to rest
Before they've known just what to do
Their souls are lost
Because they could never find
What's this life for
What's this life for
What's this life for
What's this life for
I see your soul, it's kind of gray
You see my heart, you look away
You see my wrist, I know your pain
I know your purpose on your plane
Don't say a last prayer

If You Only Knew - Shinedown

If you only knew
I'm hanging by a thread
The web I spin for you
If you only knew
I'd sacrifice my beating
Heart before I lose you
I still hold onto the letters
You returned
I swear I've lived and learned
It's 4:03 and I can't sleep
Without you next to me I
Toss and turn like the sea
If I drown tonight, bring me
Back to life
Breathe your breath in me
The only thing that I still believe
In is you, if you only knew
If you only knew
How many times I counted
All the words that went wrong
If you only knew
How I refuse to let you go,
Even when you're gone
I don't regret any days I
Spent, nights we shared,
Or letters that I sent
It's 4:03 and I can't sleep
Without you next to me I
Toss and turn like the sea
If I drown tonight, bring me
Back to life
Breathe your breath in me
The only thing that I still believe
In is you, if you only knew
If you only knew
I still hold onto the letters
You returned
You help me live and learn

Nights in White Satin - The Moody Blues

Nights in white satin
Never reaching the end
Letters I've written
Never meaning to send
Beauty I'd always missed
With these eyes before
Just what the truth is
I can't say any more
'Cause I love you
Yes I love you
Oh how I love you
Gazing at people, some hand in hand
Just what I'm going through they can't understand
Some try to tell me, thoughts they cannot defend
Just what you want to be, you will be in the end
And I love you
Yes I love you
Oh how I love you
Oh how I love you

[twistypringle98]

Explorers by Muse

Free me
Free me from this world
I don't belong here
It was a mistake imprisoning my soul
Can you free me
Free me from this world
