(You don't know how happy I am that this thread finally got revived )

"Rubik's Cube", Athlete

The world is too heavy
Too big for my shoulders
Come take this weight off me now

1000's of answers
To one simple question
Come take this weight off me now

Oh I'm like a kid who just won't let it go
Twisting and turning the colours in rows
I'm so intent to find out what it is
This is my Rubik's cube
I know I can figure it out

...

Credits roll over the edge of horizons
That I haven't discovered yet

[close]

Then why didn't you revive it, silly?

The show must go on
Inside my heart is breaking
My make-up may be flaking
But my smile still stays on
~Queen, The Show Must Go On

[Skyblade]

Then why didn't you revive it, silly?

The show must go on
Inside my heart is breaking
My make-up may be flaking
But my smile still stays on
~Queen, The Show Must Go On

@Cornflower MM: True Also, I hope you feel better soon.

From "Messidona" by Driver Friendly:

"I got unholy ghosts with their hands around my neck
A delicate reminder to never forget
To hold my tongue except when I try to pray
I open my mouth, try to breathe words out,
But I've got nothing to say

Only skin deep
(The secrets we keep)
Digging into me
(The lives we lead)
Thorn in my side
Getting deeper all the time
Deeper all the time
Only skin deep

I hear voices from the grave whispering my name
Reminding me all the time
"We're only what we leave behind, what we leave behind"

I'm gonna, gotta get out of here
Yeah, I gotta disappear
Learn to live without fear, we'll all live without fear
I'll return like a phantom, swallow cities to feel alive
Spit them out when I'm satisfied
Spit them out when I'm satisfied"

[Dotti Dillworthy]

Isolated from the outside
Clouds have taken all the light
I have no control it seems my
Thoughts wander off

Of the time when I tried to
Live life without you

Birds falling down the rooftops
Out of the sky like raindrops
No air, no pride

If being myself is what I do wrong
Then I would rather not be right
Hopes turn into fear and with my
One wing I can't fly

With sunrise embrace my
Dreams tight and that's why

Birds falling down the rooftops
Out of the sky like raindrops
No air, no pride
Birds

To a place without fear, with no moonlight
All I need are trees and flowers and some sunlight
Where memories are being made and where the old one dies
Where love ain't lies

Birds falling down the rooftops
Out of the sky like raindrops

Birds falling down the rooftops
Out of the sky like raindrops
No air, no pride
That's why birds don't fly
~ Anouk, Birds

[One of my personal favourites, with fresh Celtic tune complimenting this song.]

The curtain has been raised, the wall no longer stands
And from Lisadell to Latvia we're singing as one clan
The curtain has been raised and Europe's all one stage
And the archipelagic icicles have melted like the cage

We don't need no party, just a party band
A continental choir singing hand in hand

They might scare the blackbird but they cannot stop him sing
They may steal the honey but they'll never steal the sting
They may crush the flowers, trample every living thing
But they can't stop the spring
~ Dervish, They Can't Stop The Spring

~~~

Closing the door, leaving behind all that has been
No turn around, life begins out on my own

Follow the sun from day to day, free as a bird
Now is the time to spread my wings out on my own

Come to the conclusion I am in control
Take it with my body and my soul

I can fly over mountains, over seas
I never felt so free in the choices of my life
I can fly over mountains, over seas
I never felt so free in the choices of my life

Closing the door, leaving behind all that has been
Now is the time to spread my wings out on my own

Come to the conclusion I am in control
Take it with my body and my soul

I can fly over mountains, over seas
I never felt so free in the choices of my life
I can fly over mountains, over seas
I never felt so free in the choices of my life

Free in the choices of my life
Free in the choices of my life
~ Michelle, Out On My Own

From "Moving On" by James:

"Time always unwinding,
All these dead lines in my mind.
Seeds and dreams we planted
Took for granted, didn't prove.

Walking down this road
When my pulse beats slow,
Hope to have you close at hand.
When this cycle ends,
Will it start again?
Will we recognize old friends?

I'm on my way,
Soon be moving on my way,
Leave a little light on,
Leave a little light on."

[Søren]

All the Stars, Ed Sheeran

----


It's just another night
And I'm staring at the moon
I saw a shooting star
And thought of you
I sang a lullaby
By the waterside and knew
If you were here,
I'd sing to you
You're on the other side
As the skyline splits in two
I'm miles away from seeing you
But I can see the stars
From America
I wonder, do you see them, too?

So open your eyes and see
The way our horizons meet
And all of the lights will lead
Into the night with me
And I know these scars will bleed
But both of our hearts believe
All of these stars will guide us home

I can hear your heart
On the radio beat
They're playing 'Chasing Cars'
And I thought of us
Back to the time,
You were lying next to me
I looked across and fell in love
So I took your hand
Back through lamp-lit streets and knew
Everything led back to you
So can you see the stars?
Over Amsterdam
You're the song my heart is
Beating to

So open your eyes and see
The way our horizons meet
And all of the lights will lead
Into the night with me
And I know these scars will bleed
But both of our hearts believe
All of these stars will guide us home

And, oh, I know
And oh, I know, oh
I can see the stars
From America

Frans, If I Were Sorry

I'd crawl through the desert on my hands and knees
Rehearsing my pretty please
Climb the highest mountain if I were sorry

Shout it from the top
Swim under water until my lungs exploded
Walk into the fire if I were sorry

I'd run a thousand miles
Wouldn't stop until I dropped
Wouldn't take a break to breathe
Until I got close enough

Then I'd do it all again
If I really had the chance
But I know deep inside for you
It's just another dance

If I were sorry
I'd give you all the glory
If I were sorry

If I were sorry
It would be a different story
If I were sorry, if I were sorry oh

I'd hold my breath until my face turned blue
I'd rob a bank and the post office too
Swim across the ocean if I were sorry

I'd take a wow of silence
I wouldn't say a single word
Until you really heard if I were sorry

I'd run a thousand miles
Wouldn't stop until I dropped
Wouldn't take the break to breathe
Until I, I got close enough

If I were sorry
I'd give you all the glory
If I were sorry

If I were sorry
It would be a different story
If I were sorry, oh

Now did you ever realise
That your mistake had a price?
Oh, you threw it all away
'Cause you're the devil in disguise

Now would you ever realise
The consequences of your lies?
And would you save the falling tear
Or act as if there's nothing there?

If I were sorry
If I were sorry
If I were sorry
If I were sorry

If I were sorry
I'd take a vow of silence
I wouldn't say a single word
(If I were sorry)

If I were sorry
I'd be on my hands and knees
Begging pretty please
If I were sorry
But I'm not sorry, no

[Skyblade]

From Two Birds by Regina Spektor:

Two birds on a wire
One tries to fly away and the other
Watches him close from that wire
He says he wants to as well but he is a liar

I'll believe it all
There's nothing I won't understand
I'll believe it all
I won't let go of your hand

Two birds on a wire
One says c'mon and the other says I'm tired
The sky is overcast and I'm sorry
One more or one less, nobody's worried

I'll believe it all
There's nothing I won't understand
I'll believe it all
I won't let go of your hand

[Dotti Dillworthy]

Thea Garrett, My Dream

We used to say that dreams could be so true
Where am I? What will I be?
It's my dream which I could share with you
A new day for you and me

Just a smile with warmth in my heart and go all the way
There's so much in life and I'll sing

This is my dream, I want to make it really happen
And make my dream come true
This is my dream, I'll make it if I just believe it
In a fairytale I'll live it, just like a new born star

Fly above like a seagull on the waves
And the sun will shine upon your face
Just believe, follow your heart and make it happen
Grow much brighter and we'll say

This is my dream, I want to make it really happen
And make my dream come true
This is my dream, I'll make it if I just believe it
There is nothing that could stop me
I just want the world to know

This is my dream, and I know that I'll be strong
It will come true because I know I'll make it happen
This is my dream

[Rosie Willowwater]

Britt Nicole, Gold

You were walking on the moon, now you're feeling low
What they said wasn't true, you're beautiful
Sticks and stones break your bones, I know what you're feeling
Words like those won't steal your glow, you're one in a million

This, this is for all the girls, boys all over the world
Whatever you've been told, you're worth more than gold
So hold your head up high, it's your time to shine
From the inside out it shows, you're worth more than gold
(Gold gold, you're gold)
You're worth more than gold
(Gold gold, you're gold)

When everybody keeps score, afraid you're gonna lose
Just ignore they don't know the real you
All the rain in the sky can't put out your fire
Of all the stars out tonight, you shine brighter

This, this is for all the girls, boys all over the world
Whatever you've been told, you're worth more than gold
So hold your head up high, it's your time to shine
From the inside out it shows, you're worth more than gold
(Gold gold, you're gold)
You're worth more than gold
(Gold gold, you're gold)

So don't let anybody tell you that you're not loved
And don't let anybody tell you that you're not enough
Yeah there are days that we all feel like we're messed up
But the truth is that we're all diamonds in the rough

So don't be ashamed to wear your crown
You're a king you're a queen inside and out
You glow like the moon, you shine like the stars
This is for you, wherever you are

Oh, oh, yeah, yeah, oh, oh,
You're gold

This, this is for all the girls, boys all over the world
Whatever you've been told, you're worth more than gold
(So hold your head) So hold your head up high,
It's your time to shine
From the inside out it shows, you're worth more than gold
(Gold gold, you're gold)
You're worth more than gold
(Gold gold you're gold)

So don't be ashamed to wear your crown
You're a king you're a queen inside and out

[Dotti Dillworthy]

Mary Spiteri, Little Child

Little child, your look – it pains me
It's an answer your eyes seek
Can't you see what shadow of a soul
I've come to be tired of the scene

Little child, come sit beside me
It's so much I have to say
Stay as free as high winds on the seas
No destiny bringin' lonely tears

Smile, live today, and leave the past behind
Live it up day by day, and surely you may find
That both sorrow and tomorrow aren't worth a thought or two
Look at me and teach me to live again

Little child, your look elates me
It's an answer your eyes give
Now, you see, I'm on the road again
I'm bringin' out what child there's in me

Smile, live today, and leave the past behind
Live it up day by day, and surely you may find
That both sorrow and tomorrow aren't worth a thought or two
Look at me and teach me to live again
Live again

Sing, live today, this moment can't endure
Oh, let us reach for the stars – we'll make it, I'm that sure
Be it sadness, be it gladness, we can start it all anew
Look at me, look at me, and the sun comes shining through

[Søren]

This ship has crashed
We burn down the past
Like ghost-drifted ash

Your photograph
Is all that will last
There's no turning back

Now I'm all alone
The future unknown
Got nowhere to go

But I'll survive, the loneliest nights
Won't give up the fight

Through the void, through the void, through the endless void!
I'll march on and on and on and on without you!
Hear the voice, hear the voice, of the hearts destroyed!
I'll march on and on and on and on without you!

And I'll keep singing our song, 'till tomorrow

The emptiness
It kills like a kiss
The violent abyss

Farewell again
We've come to an end
I'll miss you my friend

Carry on, carry on!

Through the void, through the void, through the endless void!
I'll march on and on and on and on without you!
Hear the voice, hear the voice, of the hearts destroyed!
I'll march on and on and on and on without you!

And I'll keep singing our song, 'till tomorrow

How can I carry on, carry on without you?
(Oh)
Carry on!

We fail, we fall
But just keep walking through it all
Got to face another day

You're here, you're gone
But I had to move along
'Till the darkness starts to fade

We fail, we fall
But just keep walking through it all
Got to face another day

Won't give up the fight ...

Through the void, through the void, through the endless void!
I'll march on and on and on and on without you!
Hear the voice, hear the voice, of the hearts destroyed!
I'll march on and on and on and on without you!

And I'll keep singing our song, 'till tomorrow

How can I carry on, carry on without you?

The Void, Andy Black

Another very, very relatable song is Avalanche by Bring Me the Horizon

Sad

Cut me open and tell me what's inside
Diagnose me cause I can't keep wondering why
And no it's not a phase cause it happens all the time
Start over, check again, now tell me what you find

Cause I'm going out of frequency
Can anyone respond?

It's like an avalanche
I feel myself go under
Cause the weight of it's like hands around my neck
I never stood a chance
My heart is frozen over
And I feel like I am treading on thin ice

Am I broken? What's the chance I will survive?
Don't sugarcoat me, cause I feel like suicide
Just give it to me straight cause I'm running out of time
I need an antidote, now what can you prescribe

It's like an avalanche
I feel myself go under
Cause the weight of it's like hands around my neck
I never stood a chance
My heart is frozen over
And I feel like I am treading on thin ice
And I'm going under

I need a cure for me cause a square doesn't fit the circle
Give me a remedy cause my head wasn't wired for this world
I need a cure for me cause a square doesn't fit the circle
Give me a remedy cause my head wasn't wired for this world

Cause I'm going out of frequency
Can anyone respond?
Cause I'm going out of frequency
Can anyone respond?

It's like an avalanche
I feel myself go under
Cause the weight of it's like hands around my neck
I never stood a chance
My heart is frozen over
And I feel like I am treading on thin ice
And I'm going under

I need a cure for me cause a square doesn't fit the circle
Give me a remedy cause my head wasn't wired for this world
I need a cure for me cause a square doesn't fit the circle
Give me a remedy cause when it hits, well it hits like an avalanche

Sad lyrics about suicide

Cemetary Drive, My Chemical Romance:

"This night
Walk the dead
In a solitary style and crash the cemetery gates
In the dress your husband hates
Lay down
Mark the grave
Where the searchlights find us drinking by the mausoleum door
And they found you on the bathroom floor
I miss you
I miss you so far
And the collision of your kiss that made it so hard
Back home off the run
Singing songs that make you slit your wrists
It isn't that much fun
Staring down a loaded gun
So I won't stop dying
Won't stop lying
If you want I'll keep on crying
Did you get what you deserve?
Is this what you always want me for?
I miss you
I miss you so far
And the collision of your kiss that made it so hard
Way Down, way down, way down, way down
Way down, way down, way down, way down
I miss you
I miss you so far
And the collision of your kiss that made it so hard
I miss you
I miss you so far
And the collision of your kiss that made it so hard, made it so hard
Way down, way down, way down, way down
Way down, way down, way down, way down, way down"

Åh Dagmar, åh Dagmar!
Gud bevar's hvor vi skal holde grin!

[Luftwaffles]

All-time favorite of mine, super inspiring and with a great backstory to it:

Marlene on the Wall

Even if I am in love with you
All this to say, what's it to you?
Observe the blood, the rose tattoo
Of the fingerprints on me from you

Other evidence has shown
That you and I are still alone
We skirt around the danger zone
And don't talk about it later

Marlene watches from the wall
Her mocking smile says it all
As the records the rise and fall
Of every soldier passing

But the only soldier now is me
I'm fighting things I cannot see
I think it's called my destiny
That I am changing

Marlene on the wall

I walk to your house in the afternoon
By the butcher's shop with the sawdust strewn
Don't give away the goods too soon
Is what she might have told me

And I tried so hard to resist
When you held me in your handsome fist
And reminded me of the night we kissed
And of why I should be leaving

Marlene watches from the wall
Her mocking smile says it all
As the records the rise and fall
Of every man who's been here

But the only one here now is me
I'm fighting things I cannot see
I think it's called my destiny
That I am changing

Marlene on the wall

Congratulations

(Intro)

He's currently away from the phone spending time with his supermodel wife or writing your next favorite record. Leave a message after the beep and he will return your call as soon as possible. Thank you and have a nice day.
[Kellin:] What's up Matty? It's Kellin. Hey, yo dude, um, so I got this track I need you on, man, and I'm really excited about it and I think it's gonna be sick. Uh, kids are definitely not ready for this, man. So give me a call back. Let's change the world. Alright, man. Peace.(end intro)


Welcome to a brand new generation
You don't know
So let me help you understand
You see, you try to build yourself a reputation
So you can prove to everyone that you're the man, yeah.
So why is it us that make you feel so helpless? Whoa.
You better get it out while you still can (while you still can).

'Cause when those lights go on around you
And nobody gives a damn
You're gonna wish that you had taken our advice
That's right

I've been down and out
Now I can't keep my face off a cover
That ain't what it's about
You still have so much left to learn

(hey, hey, hey)

Congratulations
(congratulations)
They say you're the man
(they say you're the man)
Congratulations
(congratulations)
You see I do what you can't
(see I do what you can't, whoa)
And until they go and take my name off of the shelves (guess what)
Congratulations, we're gonna give you hell

(Get 'em Matty)

They try to do it like me
But they do it all wrong
I'll pass the torch when someone better comes along (yeah right)
Congratulations to every label that ever turned me down
Me and my top 20 record aren't too worried about it now
I hope this lesson taught is a lesson learned
Now go and bury your head while me and Kell rule the world!

Congratulations (congratulations)
They say you're the man (yes I am)
Congratulations
(congratulations)
You see I do what you can't

And until they go and take my name off of the shelves, ha!
Congratulations (congratulations).

(Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey,
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey)

Let's give 'em hell

Could you please give us the spotlight
'Cause I have something to say
You may not like the subject
But I'll say this anyway
We're so sick of all this so-called
Awful music that you play
So could you please do us a favor
Stay the heck out of our way

Congratulations (congratulations)
They say you're the man
(they say you're the man)
Congratulations (congratulations)
You see I do what you can't
(see I do what you can't, whoa)
And until they go and take my name off of the shelves

Whoa! Was that good?
Congratulations (Whoa!)
