"Put to rest what you thought of me
While I clean this slate
With the hands of uncertainty
So let mercy come and wash away
What I've done
I'll face myself to cross out what I've become
Erase myself
And let go of what I've done
For what I've done
I start again
And whatever pain may come
Today this ends
I'm forgiving what I've done
I'll face myself to cross out what I've become
Erase myself
And let go of what I've done"
-What I've Done, LINKIN PARK
I think those lyrics are relatable to a lot of people, myself included.

I remember down in Houston
We were puttin' on a show
When a cowboy in the back stood up and yelled,
"Cotton-Eyed Joe"!
He said, "we love what you're doin'.
Boys don't get us wrong,
There's just somethin' missin' in your song.

If you're gonna play in Texas,
You gotta have a fiddle in the band.
That lead guitar is hot,
But not for "Lousiana man".
So rosin up that bow for "faded love"
And let's all dance.
If you're gonna play in Texas,
You gotta have a fiddle in the band.

So we dusted off our boots and put our cowboy hats on straight.
Them Texans raised the roof when Jeff opened up his case.
You say y'all all wanna two-step. you say ya wanna doe-si-doe.
Well, here's a fiddlin' song before we go.

If you're gonna play in Texas,
You gotta have a fiddle in the band.
That lead guitar is hot,
But not for "Lousiana man".
So rosin up that bow for "faded love"
And let's all dance.
If you're gonna play in Texas,
You gotta have a fiddle in the band.  If Your Gonna Play in Texas By Alabama For whatever reason

It's the difference between country and western music. Don't cross that line.

"Ever just the same
Ever a surprise
Ever as before
Ever just as sure
As the sun will rise

Tale as old as time
Tune as old as song
Bittersweet and strange
Finding you can change
Learning you were wrong

Certain as the sun
Rising in the east
Tale as old as time
Song as old as rhyme
Beauty and the beast."

- from "Beauty and the Beast"

Silva Night - Congratulations

Okay

Hey you, looking at me, I'm talking to you
I'm Silvia Night shining in the light, I know you want me too
Born in Reykjavik in a different league, no damn eurotrash freak
The vote is in, I'll ... win, too bad for all the others

So congratulations, I have arrived
I'm Silvia Night and I'm shining so bright
Eurovision nation, your dream's coming true
You've been waiting and waiting for me to save you
Wham bam boom

[James Gryphon]

Be Prepared (Scar) - The Lion King
So prepare for the coup of the century
Be prepared for the murkiest scam
Meticulous planning, tenacity spanning
Decades of denial is simply why I'll
Be king undisputed, respected, saluted
And seen for the wonder I am

Yes, my teeth and ambitions are bared-
Be prepared!

[Søren]

"I think I want you more than want
And know I need you more than need
I wanna hold you more than hold
When you stood in front of me
I think you know me more than know
And you see me more than see
I could die now more than die
Every time you look at me

Well I've seen you in jeans with no make-up on
And I've stood there in awe as your date for the prom
I'm blessed as a man to have seen you in white
But I've never seen anything quite like you tonight
No, I've never seen anything quite like you"
-Never Seen Anything "Quite Like You", The Script

I discovered these awesome lyrics this morning.

I found another interesting song. From Moment of Peace by Gregorian:

"Come now, come by our side,
Into a place where you can hide,
We are the sunshine,
Rest your soul here,
And you'll find,
We are the energy,
We give the world to thee,
Hold up your heart now,
We will ease pain from your brow.

In a world without angels,
And destruction is near,
You can come with us here.

When the people are strangers,
We will rest here and be,
In a moment of peace.

...

Light up the dark below,
See through the stars,
Reach to the earth's flow
Drift into the joy of our hearts,
Unleash the energy,
Taste of the wine,
Drink as a soul,
That knows now, power divine.

When the world is in tatters,
And destruction is near,
You can come with us here.
When the people are strangers,
We will rest here and be,
In a moment of peace."

[Søren]

"Well you came to me, like a ray of light
So suddenly, a beautiful surprise
My universe alight, and it all seemed right

But I was unwise, and fooled myself
Pretending you or I were somebody else
Cos I can't speak the language that you need
And it's killing me

If I cry for you, would you turn me away
If I die for you, would you beg me to stay
If I try to, read your mystery mind
One thought at a time
If I...

Would it be so hard, for you to let me in
Would it hurt too much, to shed your skin
Your rules, your games, but it's my heart at stake
Watch it as it breaks

If I cry for you, would you turn me away
If I die for you, would you beg me to stay
If I try to, read your mystery mind
One thought at a time
If I..."
If I, Ross Copperman
(I find these lyrics kinda ironic because it was V who said I should listen to the song, and yet, it describes me in relation to her quite well. Particularly those first two stanzas, pretty much word-for-word.)

So I walk alone down the darkest roads
'Cause I've always known how the story goes
When the curtain falls, I'll be wearing thin
Clawing at the walls as they're closing in
In this twisted plot I was destined for
I'm an astronaut on the ocean floor
So misunderstood 'till the bloody end
How I wish I could do it all again

It feels like I'm a lone survivor
Forgotten in a dark and deadly world
And on my own I walk alone
To see the sun again I'd give anything
But life demands a final chapter
A story that we all must leave behind
It's do or die, and this is mine
The anthem of a bird with a broken wing

It's another night of the living dead
Like a viper bite in a spiderweb
It's so deathly dark in the alleyway
And a bleeding heart makes you easy prey
I would run and hide for the afternoon
With the butterfly in the panic room
Though I won't be missed, I would say it's time
For a different twist in the story line

It feels like I'm a lone survivor
Forgotten in a dark and deadly world
And on my own I walk alone
To see the sun again I'd give anything
But life demands a final chapter
A story that we all must leave behind
It's do or die, and this is mine
The anthem of a bird with a broken wing
The anthem of a bird with a broken wing

It feels like I'm a lone survivor
Forgotten in a dark and deadly world
And on my own I walk alone
To see the sun again I'd give anything
But life demands a final chapter
A story that we all must leave behind
It's do or die, and this is mine
The anthem of a bird with a broken wing
The anthem of a bird with a broken wing
The anthem of a bird with a broken wing

Tell the world I know that my mind is made
It's a horror show, but I'm not afraid
Though I won't be missed, I would say it's time
For a different twist in the story line

A True, True* Friend from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic**
"(Insert name here) needs your help.
She's trying hard doing what she can.
Would you try? Just give it a chance.
You might find that you'll start to understand.

A true, true friend helps a friend in need.
A friend will be there to help you see.
A true, true friend helps a friend in need.
To see the light that shines from a true, true friend."

*You know you write too much when you try to type a normal word and it autocorrects to the name of one of your characters
**Yes, My Little Pony. Being serious.


Loser Like Me, The Glee Cast
"Yeah, you may think that I'm a zero
But, hey, everyone you wanna be
Probably started off like me
You may say that I'm a freakshow (I don't care)
But, hey, give me just a little time
I bet you're gonna change your mind

All of the dirt you've been throwin' my way
It ain't so hard to take, that's right
'Cause I know one day you'll be screamin' my name
And I'll just look away, that's right

Just go ahead and hate on me and run your mouth
So everyone can hear
Hit me with the worst you got and knock me down
Baby, I don't care
Keep it up and soon enough you'll figure out
You wanna be
You wanna be
A loser like me"


The Valley, The Oh Hellos
"We were born in the valley of the dead and the wicked
That our father's father found
And where we laid him down
We were born in the shadow of the crimes of our fathers
Blood was our inheritance
No, we did not ask for this

Will you lead me?

We were young when we heard you call our names in the silence
Like a fire in the dark
Like a sword upon our hearts
We came down to the water and we begged for forgiveness
Shadows lurking close behind
We were fleeing for our lives

Will you lead me?"

From the day we arrive on the planet
And blinking, step into the sun
There's more to see than can ever be seen
More to do than can ever be done

There's far too much to take in here
More to find than can ever be found
But the sun rolling high
Through the sapphire sky
Keeps great and small on the endless round

It's the Circle of Life
And it moves us all
Through despair and hope
Through faith and love

Till we find our place
On the path unwinding
In the Circle
The Circle of Life

It's the Circle of Life
And it moves us all
Through despair and hope
Through faith and love

Till we find our place
On the path unwinding
In the Circle
The Circle of Life



Basically I like a bunch of random noises

"We won't stop
No we won't
We won't stop
No

To those I've called friends
To those I don't know
All the places we've been
Oh all the places we'll go
You see,
Every ending's the start of a beginning
Every defeat gets you closer to winning
Yeah, its all about perspective
That's why my frowns are the reason that I'm grinning
How could I love the peaks
If I've never seen the valleys
Its like loving the streets
But not knowing 'bout the alleys
This life's not over
Haven't seen the finale
There's eyes on your life
So at least try to make yours a pep rally

Under the lights
Heart is on fire
Start of the night
This here this is it
Its time to go into the unknown
Take a breath now
Find your voice and shout

...

I know that this is the moment
To make my move
And I'm staring at my fate
This is the moment my time to prove
That I won't walk away
They call this the present 'cause today is a gift
Waitin' on opportunity
Is opportunity missed"

- Under the Lights, Cassio Monroe

Hands Down, Dashboard Confessional (Lovey song, so it's in here)

"My hopes are so high that your kiss might kill me.
So won't you kill me, so I die happy.
My heart is yours to fill or burst,
to break or bury, or wear as jewelery,
which ever you prefer.

Hands down this is the best day I can ever remember,
I'll always remember the sound of the stereo,
the dim of the soft lights,
the scent of your hair that you twirled in your fingers
and the time on the clock when we realized it's so late
and this walk that we shared together.
The streets were wet
and the gate was locked so I jumped it,
and I let you in.
And you stood at your door with your hands on my waist
and you kissed me like you meant it.
And I knew that you meant it,
that you meant it,
that you meant it,
and I knew,
that you meant it,
that you meant it."

Nobody's Perfect, Hannah Montana:

"Everybody makes mistakes... Everybody has those days... Everybody knows what what I'm talkin' 'bout... Everybody gets that way...
...
Nobody's Perfect!
I gotta work it!
Again and again 'til I get it right
Nobody's Perfect!
You live and you learn it!
And if I mess it up sometimes...
Nobody's perfect
...
My intentions are good
Sometimes just misunderstood"
