"Father of Mine"- Everclear
NOTE: I don't particularly like Everclear, but I like the lyrics to this song.

Father of mine
Tell me where have you been
You know I just closed my eyes
My whole world disappeared

Father of mine
Take me back to the day
Yeah when I was still your golden boy
Back before you went away

I remember the blue skies
Walking the block
I loved it when you held me high
I loved to hear you talk

You would take me to the movie
You would tke me to the beach
Take me to a place inside that is so hard to reach

Father of mine
Tell me where did you go
Yeah you had the world inside your hand
But you did not seem to know

Father of mine
Tell me what do you see
When you look back at your wasted life
And you don't see me

I was ten years old
Doing all that i could
Wasn't easy for me to be a scared white boy in a black neighborhood

Sometimes you would send me a birthday card with a five dollar bill
Yeah I never understood you then
And I guess I never will

Daddy gave me a name
My dad he gave me a name
Then he walked away
Daddy gave me a name
Then he walked away
My dad he gave me a name

Father of mine
Tell me where have you been
Yeah I just closed my eyes
And the world disappeared

Father of mine
Tell me how do you sleep
With the children you abandoned
And the wife I saw you beat

I will never be safe
I will never be sane
I will always be weird inside
I will always be lame

Now I am a grown man
With a child of my own
And I swear I'm not going to let her know
All the pain I have known

Then he walked away
Daddy gave me a name
Then he walked away
My dad he gave me a name
Then he walked away

"I Dare You"- Shinedown

Hello, let me introduce you to
The characters in the show
One says yes, one says no
Decide which voice in your head you can keep alive

Even in madness I know you still believe
Paint me on canvas so I become
What you could never be

I dare you to tell me to walk through fire
Wear my soul and call me a liar
I dare you to tell me to walk through fire
I dare you to tell me
I dare you to

Hello are you still chasing
The memories in shadows
Some stay young some grow old
Come alive there are thoughts unclear
You can never hide

Even in madness, I know you still believe
Paint me your canvas so I become
What you could never be

I dare you to tell me to walk through fire
Wear my soul and call me a liar
I dare you to tell me to walk through fire
I dare you to tell me
I dare you to

Hello
Hello...
I dare you to tell me to walk through fire
Wear my soul and call me a liar
I dare you to tell me to walk through fire
I dare you to tell me
I dare you to
Hello...
Hello...
I dare you to tell me
I dare you to
I dare you to tell me
I dare you to

"45"- Shinedown

Send away for a priceless gift
One not subtle, one not on the list
Send away for a perfect world
One not simply so absurd
In these times of doing what you're told
Keep these feelings, no one knows

What ever happened to the young man's heart
Swallowed by pain as he slowly fell apart

And I'm staring down the barrell of a 45 (45)
Swimming through the ashes of another life (another life)
No real reason to accept the way things have changed
Staring down the barrell of a 45

Send a message to the unborn child
Keep your eyes open for a while
In a box high upon a shelf
Left for you, no one else
There's a piece of a puzzle known as life
Wrapped in guilt, sealed up tight

What ever happened to the young man's heart
Swallowed by pain as he slowly fell apart

And I'm staring down the barrell of a 45 (45)
Swimming through the ashes of another life (another life)
No real reason to accept the way things have changed
Staring down the barrell of a 45

Everyone's pointing their fingers
Always condemning me
Nobody knows what I believe
I believe

And I'm staring down the barrell of a 45 (45)
Swimming through the ashes of another life (another life)
No real reason to accept the way things have changed
Staring down the barrell of a 45

And I'm staring down the barrell of a 45 (45)
And I'm swimming through the ashes of another life (another life)
There is no real reason to accept the way things have changed
Staring down the barrell of a 45

I've been listening to this song everyday for the past week o.o I just like that one catchy part "Fellas tell your lady she's the one..."
Mary J Blige's 'Be Without You'

"I wanna be with you, gotta be with you, need to be with you
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)
I wanna be with you, gotta be with you, need to be with you
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)
Oooo (oh, oh, oh, oh) oooo

Chemistry was crazy from the get-go
Neither one of us knew why
We didn't build nothing overnight
Cuz a love like this takes some time
People swore it off as a phase
Said we can't see that
Now from top to bottom
They see that we did that (yes)
It's so true that (yes)
We've been through it (yes)
We got real sh** (yes)
See baby we been...

[**chorus]Too strong for too long (and I can't be without you baby)
And I'll be waiting up until you get home (cuz I can't sleep without you baby)
Anybody who's ever loved, ya know just what I feel
Too hard to fake it, nothing can replace it
Call the radio if you just can't be without your baby[/chorus]

I got a question for ya
See I already know the answer
But still I wanna ask you
Would you lie? (no)
Make me cry? (no)
Do somethin' behind my back and then try to cover it up?
Well, neither would I, baby
My love is only your love (yes)
I'll be faithful (yes)
I'm for real (yes)
And with us you'll always know the deal
We've been...

[**chorus]

See this is real talk
I'm always stay (no matter what)
Good or bad (thick and thin)
Right or wrong (all day everyday)
Now if you're down on love or don't believe
This ain't for you (no, this ain't for you)
And if you got it deep in your heart
And deep down you know that it's true (come on, come on, come on)
Well, let me see you put your hands up (hands up)
Fellas tell your lady she's the one (fellas tell your lady she's the one, oh)
Put your hands up (hands up)
Ladies let him know he's got your love
Look him right in his eyes and tell him
We've been...

[**chorus]

Heeeeeeeeeeeey Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh
Heeeeeeeeeeeey Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh

I wanna be with you, gotta be with you, need to be with you*..."

"The Future Freaks Me Out"- Motion City Soundtrack

I’m on fire, and now I think I’m ready to bust a move.
Check it out, I’m rocking steady.
Go!

Betty won’t stop listening to modern rock.
How she hates to be alone.
I try to compensate her lack of love with coffee cake,
Ice cream, and a bottle of ten dollar wine.
She says, "Hey,
I rock the Haro sport,
I rock the cow girl blues,
I rock too fast for love.
I’m footloose in my Velcro shoes.
What’s up with Will & Grace?
I don’t get drum and bass.
The future freaks me out."

I’m on fire, and now I think I'm ready to bust a move.
Check it out I’m rocking steady,
To the beat in my head,
That goes oh, oh, oh, oh.
I know that she’s the only one.
I’d rather waste our time together.
Yeah, ‘cause we can get down.

Betty can’t quit carving question marks in my wrist.
"How come we’re so alone?"
We waste away the days with nicotine and television samples,
From an era we hate to admit we embrace.
We fail to represent.
We fail to be content.
We fail at everything we ever even try to attempt.
And so the story goes,
As only Betty knows.
It’s time we take control.

I’m on fire, and now I think I'm ready to bust a move.
Check it out I’m rocking steady,
To the beat in my head,
That goes oh, oh, oh, oh.
I know that she’s the only one.
I’d rather waste my time with her.

(Betty, I need you.
I miss you.
I’m so alone without you.
To call up on the weekends with my cellular phone.)

Betty it’s so hard to relate, (Betty, I need you.)
To the whole human race. (I miss you.)
I don’t know where to begin. (I'm so alone without you.)
I don’t know where to begin.
If we can both find a way, (Betty, I need you.)
To do the things that we say, (I miss you.)
We might not sit in our rooms,
And drink our daydreams away. (I'm so alone..)
Betty, I’m a dreamer. (Betty.)
I’m not a vicious schemer. (I need you)
Oh Betty won’t you.. ah, smurf it.

I’m on fire, and now I think I'm ready to bust a move.
Check it out I’m rocking steady,
To the beat in my head,
That goes oh, oh, oh, oh.
I know that she’s the only one.
I’d rather waste our time together.
Yeah, ‘cause we can get down.

"Hump De Bump"- Red Hot Chili Peppers

40 detectives this week
40 detectives strong
Takin' a stroll down Love Street
Strollin' is that so wrong
Can I get my co-defendant

Hump de bump doop bodu
Bump de hump doop bop
Hump de bump doop bodu

Bump de hump doop bodu
Hump de bump doop bop
Bump de hump doop bodu

Bump bump

Listen to me what I said
Try to get it through your head
A little bit of circumstance
A chance to make out

Livin' in a citadel
It's hard enough to be yourself
Waiting for the bell to toll
And I am wide awake now

Workin' the beat as we speak
Working the belle du monde
Believe in the havoc we wreak
Believin', is that so wrong
Can I get my co-dependent

Must have been a hundred miles
Any of a hundred styles
It's not about the smile you wear
But the way we make out

When I was an all aloner
Nothin' but a two-beach comber
Anybody seen the sky?
I'm wide awake now

I don't know if it's been posted before, but I've had it in my head all day,

Breakaway - Kelly Clarkson

Grew up in a small town
And when the rain would fall down
I'd just stare out my window
Dreaming of what could be
And if I'd end up happy
I would pray

Trying hard to reach out
But when I tried to speak out
Felt like no one could hear me
Wanted to belong here
But something felt so wrong here
So I'd pray
I could break away

I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly.
I'll do what it takes till I touch the sky.
Make a wish, take a chance,
Make a change, and break away.
Out of the darkness and into the sun.
But I won't forget all the ones that I love.
I'll take a risk, take a chance,
Make a change, and break away

Wanna feel the warm breeze
Sleep under a palm tree
Feel the rush of the ocean
Get onboard a fast train
Travel on a jetplane
Far away
And break away

I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly.
I'll do what it takes till I touch the sky.
Make a wish, take a chance,
Make a change, and break away.
Out of the darkness and into the sun.
But I won't forget all the ones that I love.
I'll take a risk, take a chance,
Make a change, and break away

Buildings with a hundred floors
Swinging with revolving doors
Maybe I don't know where they'll take me
Gotta keep movin on movin on
Fly away
Break away

I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly.
Though it's not easy to tell you goodbye
Take a risk, take a chance,
Make a change, and break away.
Out of the darkness and into the sun.
But I won't forget the place I come from
I gotta take a risk, take a chance,
Make a change, and break away
Breakaway
Break away

Shredder Sequel - Little Wings

The shredder skateramp will be spared
But he'll have to cut his long hair
And the tennies that he used to wear
Will soon be replaced by two soles made of air

And though it's just been a short while
His maneuvers have gone out of style
His shorts are too short yeah for sure
He was wild but the kids today laugh when they see

That The Shredder is not what he was
His buddies believe it's because
The last spill left him shook up
He's had enough
"Concrete's unkind" he sadly sighs
Behind the wheel of his hatchback he cries

"All of my buddies have fled
And now it's alone that I shred
I drive along everyday
Listening to music I already have in my head

These cul de sacs still have their way
To my heart at the end of the day
And I act like I don't hear a thing
When I ride past the parking lot I hear them say:

'The Shredder is not what he seems
When he's frightened he casually leans
He'll knock all the skin off his knees
Right before he
Brushes the dirt
That doesn't hurt
But he has tears in his eyes when he sleeps'"

Another thing that's been stuck in my head, but this time I really love this song It was the first dance at my cousin's wedding, hehe.

Kiss Me - Sixpence None The Richer (Dawson's Creek soundtrack)

Kiss me, out of the bearded barley,
Nightly, beside the green, green grass.
Swing, swing, swing the spinning step,
You wear those shoes and I will wear this dress...

Oh, kiss me, beneath the milky twilight,
Lead me, out on the moonlight floor,
Lift your open hand, strike up the band and,
Make the fireflies dance, silver moon's sparkling,
So kiss me.

Kiss me, down by the broken tree house,
Swing me, upon the hanging tire,
Bring, bring, bring your flowered hat,
We'll take the trail marked on your father's map, oh...

Kiss me, beneath the milky twilight,
Lead me, out on the moonlight floor,
Lift your open hand, strike up the band and,
Make the fireflies dance, silver moon's sparkling,
So kiss me...

Kiss me, beneath the milky twilight,
Lead me, out on the moonlight floor,
Lift your open hand, strike up the band and,
Make the fireflies dance, silver moon's sparkling,
So kiss me.

So kiss me.
So kiss me.
So kiss me.

I absolutely love this song and it's lyrics.
Plus, I'm choreographing a lyrical dance to this song for my dance final. Eep.

Stars - Sleep Tonight
We dont want to sleep tonight
Still young like that i count the lines
Beside your mouth that smiles now
My arms reach up as you go down
With buried heads we both forget
All of the past and its regret
Wind picks up, the window shakes
We wont hear the morning break

You will cry
And I will cry
'Cause all the love's
Alive tonight

You will cry
And I will cry
'Cause all the love's
Alive tonight

Neighbourhoods will try to dream
While you and me we hold and lean
Onto bodies slick and charged
Together just one beating heart
All around us quiet now
We hear the leaves fall to the ground
Morning light upon our bed
An ally while I catch your breath

You will cry
And I will cry
'Cause all the love's
Alive tonight

You will cry
And I will cry
'Cause all the love's
Alive tonight

You will cry
And I will cry
'Cause all the love's
Alive tonight
All the love's
Alive tonight

That was my favorite song for a long time when I was little.

"Admit It"- Say Anything

Admit it
Despite your pseudo-bohemian appearance
That vaguely leftist doctrine of beliefs
You know nothing about art or sex
That you couldn’t read in any trendy New York underground fashion magazine
Prototypical non-conformist
You are a vacuous soldier of the thrift store Gestapo
You adhere to a set of standards and tastes
That appear to be determined by an unseen panel of hipster judges
Giving a thumbs up or thumbs down to incoming and outgoing trends and styles of music and art
Go analog baby, you’re so post-modern
You’re diving face forward into an antiquated path
It’s disgusting, its offensive don’t stick your nose up at me

Yeah, what do you have to say for yourself
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa

You spend your time sitting in circles with your friends
Pontificating to each other forever competing for that one moment of self aggrandizing glory
In which you hog the intellectual spotlight
Holding dominion over the entire shallow pointless conversation
Oh we’re not worthy when you walk by a group of quote unquote normal people
You chuckle to yourself patting yourself on the back as you scoff
It's the same superiority complex
Shared by the high school jocks who made your life a living hell
And it makes you a slave to the competitive capitalist dogma
You spend every moment of your waking life smurf about

Yeah, what do you have to say for yourself
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
And I say yeah, what do you have to say for yourself
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa

Cause I’m proud of my life and the things that I have done
Proud of myself and the loner I’ve become
You’re free to whine, it will not get you far
I do just fine, my car and my guitar

Proud of my life and the things that I have done
Proud of myself and the loner I’ve become
You’re free to whine, it will not get you far
I do just fine, my car and my guitar, yeah

Well let me tell you this, I am shamelessly self-involved
I spend hours in front of the mirror, making my hair elegantly disheveled
I worry about how this album will sell
Because I believe that it will determine the amount of sex I will have in the future
I self medicate with drugs and alcohol to treat my extreme social anxiety

You are a faker (admit it)
You are a fraud (admit it)
Yeah, you’re living a lie (hey) living a lie (hey) your life is living a lie
You don’t impress me (admit it)
You don’t intimidate me (admit it)
Why don’t you bow down, get on the ground, walk this smurf plank

Yeah, what do you have to say for yourself
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
And I say yeah what do you

I’m proud of my life and the things that I have done
Proud of myself and the loner I’ve become
You’re free to whine, it will not get you far
I do just fine, my car and my guitar, guitar go!

I'm drift drift drift drifting yeah
I'm drift drift drift drifting yeah oh

And I am done with this
I wanna taste the breeze of every great city
My car and my guitar, my car and my guitar
So you've come to me, made of these, urgent unfulfilled
Oh no no no no no
When I'm dead I'll rest
When I'm I'll rest, I'll lay still
When I'm dead I'll rest, I'll rest

I'll let the censor do it's job on this one and hope that's enough to make it appropriate for this site.

A Spoonful Weighs A Ton - The Flaming Lips

And though they were sad
They rescued everyone
They lifted up the sun
A spoonful weighs a ton
Giving more than they had
The process had begun
A million came from one
The limits now were none
Being drunk on their plan, they lifted up the sun

Forcing it off with their hands
The trapdoor came undone
Above our heads it swung
The privilege had been won
Being drunk on their plan, they lifted up the sun

Yelling as hard as they can
The doubters all were stunned
Heard louder than a gun
The sound they made was love

Woman Who Has Led a Sheltered Life - Paku Romi

This song has helped me so much lately, I really love it. The following is a rough translation, as the Japanese was rather hard to put into English.

He died indulging himself in the tears that flowed
I sadly remembered the death of that foolish guy
Filth has no limits, so get on the phone and give it up
The spot in the middle of the room where you lost remains
With the sweetness of harsh words falling like rain

Why is it always this way?
It's ridiculous, hopeless.
I want some small happiness
Just endless love and stability

My life has been spent inside a box
How many times have I tried to break it down?
I'm forced to realize that it's just the depression pulling the bowstring
And everything will disappear once the arrow is fired

But death is a foolish escape
Though I can't love the past, there're other things to live for
I'll find a way out of this box
Crawling around to different places again today

The usual sadness changes and turns around
I suppose God is giving me reasons not to hate
The passage of that stupidity is tragic, but such things are good
Someone here, stroke this back gently

The world is just on the other side of the wall
Does it matter what kind of sins you bear on your journey?
Roll them up into a blanket
Those dreams have already been a cure

The old wounds of the complicated past
And old mistakes attack this body
So shake this box to its limits
And damage it again today

I want my cry to reach you
I'm still here, in this place
Inside this box, this narrow, formal box
And I'll succeed again today

Anberlin - Dance, Dance, Christa Päffgen

She's got the time
says she's got time on her side
Running the rule
Commanding the late boys eyes
She runs around, knows all the streets by name
So mysterious, shadows meet James Dean
She's intoxicating, soon your favorite drink

Your black dress in disarray
Only dance floor prayers can save {you}
Temperatures rise and I start to move
But it's you that's coursing through my veins

Say she's got hope
Took shelter to the Hollywood list, taking control
Wanted my heart but I gave her my soul
She's like a Paige Davis with a Monroe kiss
Disappeared today, left no trace
But someday I'll know your name

Your black dress in disarray
Only dance floor prayers can save {you}
But it's you that's coursing through my veins

Don't need no drugs, you're my chemical
Now I'm dependent, swear I'm clinical
Addicted to those glances, taking chances tonight
I need a fix in those heroin eyes
Don't need no drugs, you're my chemical
Now I'm dependent, no not cynical
Addicted to those glances, taking chances tonight
I need a fix in those heroin eyes

She's no saint (she's no saint), she's no saint
She's no saint but she'll take you to your knees
Try her boy, but she'll still do what she please
Do you believe in science? She's perfect chemistry
She wanted my love but I gave her the rest of me

Don't need no drugs, you're my chemical
Now I'm dependent, swear I'm clinical
Addicted to those glances, taking chances tonight
I need a fix in those heroin eyes
Don't need no drugs, you're my chemical
Now I'm dependent, no not cynical
Addicted to those glances, taking chances tonight
I need a fix in those heroin eyes

You'll adore me before the night is over [x2]
If London's calling don't you dare pick up the phone
Only you entwined
could make this orphan feel at home
Lips that need no introduction, but now waiting for your call
if picture's worth a thousand words
Then your touch is worth them all

Don't need no drugs, you're my chemical
Now I'm dependent, swear I'm clinical
Addicted to those glances, taking chances tonight
I need a fix in those heroin eyes
Don't need no drugs, you're my chemical
Now I'm dependent, no not cynical
Addicted to those glances, taking chances tonight
I need a fix in those heroin eyes





This song is so addicting. Gah.

Holland, 1945 - Neutral Milk Hotel

The only girl I've ever loved
Was born with roses in her eyes
But then they buried her alive
One evening 1945
With just her sister at her side
And only weeks before the guns
All came and rained on everyone
Now she's a little boy in Spain
Playing pianos filled with flames
On empty rings around the sun
All sing to say my dream has come

But now we must pack up every piece
Of the life we used to love
Just to keep ourselves
At least enough to carry on

And now we ride the circus wheel
With your dark brother wrapped in white
Says it was good to be alive
But now he rides a comet's flame
And won't be coming back again
The Earth looks better from a star
That's right above from where you are
He didn't mean to make you cry
With sparks that ring and bullets fly
On empty rings around your heart
The world just screams and falls apart

But now we must pack up every piece
Of the life we used to love
Just to keep ourselves
At least enough to carry on

And here's where your mother sleeps
And here is the room where your brothers were born
Indentions in the sheets
Where their bodies once moved but don't move anymore
And it's so sad to see the world agree
That they'd rather see their faces fill with flies
All when I'd want to keep white roses in their eyes

Same here. I was listening to it everyday last week. Though I first heard of it from "She's All That" movie


Tamia's Officially Missing You
hmmmm...mmmmm.......

All I hear is raindrops
Falling on the rooftop
Oh baby tell me why’d you have to go
Cause this pain I feel
It wont go away
And today I’m officially missing you
I thought that from this heartache
I could escape
But I fronted long enough to know
There ain’t no way
And today
I’m officially missing you

[Chorus]
(Ohhhh) can’t nobody do it like you
Said every little thing you do
Hey baby say
stays on my mind
And I, and I, I’m officially

[Verse Two]
All I do is lay around
Two ears full tears
From looking at your face all over ( face all over)
Just a week ago you were my baby
Now I don’t even know you at all
i don’t know you at all
Well I wish that you would call me right now
So that I could get through to you somehow
But I guess its safe to say baby safe to say
that I'm, I'm officially missing you

[Chorus]
(Ohhhh) can’t nobody do it like you
Said every little thing you do
Hey baby say
stays on my mind
And I, and I, I’m officially

[Verse Two]

[Bridge]
Well I thought I could just get over you baby
But I see that’s something I just can’t do
From the way you would hold me
To the sweet things you told me
I just can’t find a way
To let go of you

[Chorus]

It official
You know that I’m missing you
oohhh Yeah yes
All I hear is raindrops
ooohhh yeah
And I’m officially missing you


ooooooooooooooooo.........mmmmmm

Birds - Neil Young

Lover, there will be another one
Who'll hover over you beneath the sun
Tomorrow see the things that never come
Today

When you see me
Fly away without you
Shadow on the things you know
Feathers fall around you
And show you the way to go
It's over.

Nestled in your wings my little one
This special morning brings another sun
Tomorrow see the things that never come
Today

When you see me
Fly away without you
Shadow on the things you know
Feathers fall around you
And show you the way to go
It's over.
