Come on, come on
put your hands into the fire
explain, explain
as I turn I meet the power
This time, this time
Turning white and senses dire
Pull up, pull up
from one extreme to another
From the summer to the spring
From the mountain to the air,
From samaritan to sin,
and it's waiting on the air.
Come on, come on
Put your hands into the fire
Explain, explain
As I turn I meet the power
This time, this time
turning white and senses dire
Pull up, pull up
From one extreme to another
From the summer to the spring
From the mountain to the air
From Samaritan to sin
and it's waiting on the airs
Now I'm low
I'm looking out, I'm looking in
way down, the lights are dimmer
Now I'm low
I'm looking out, I'm lookin in
way down, the lights are dimmer
Come on, come on
put your hands into the fire
come on, come on....

Call Me
Wrap me in a bolt of lightening
send me on my way still smiling
Maybe that's the way I should go
straight into the mouth of the unknown
Left the spare key on the table
Never really thought I'd be able to say
I merely only visit on the weekends,
lost my whole life and a dear friend
I've said it so many times
I would change my ways,
no never mind
though God knows I tried
Call me a sinner, Call me a saint
Tell me it's over and I'll still love you the same
Call me your favorite, call me your worst
Tell me it's over, I don't want you to hurt
It's all I can that I can say, so I'll be on my way
I finally put it all together, but nothing really lasts forever
I had to make a choice that was not mine
I had to say goodbye for the last time
I kept my whole life in a suitcase
Never really stayed in one place
Maybe that's the way that it should be
You know I live my life like a gypsie
I've said it so many times,
I would change my ways,
no nevermind
though God knows I tried
Call me a sinner, Call me a saint
tell me it's over, I'll still love you the same
Call me your favorite, call me your worst
Tell me it's over, I don't want you to hurt
It's all I that I can say, so I'll be on my way
I'll always keep you inside
You've healed my heart and my life
you know I try
Call me a sinner, Call me a saint
Tell me it's over, I'll still love you the same
Call me your favorite, call me your worst
Tell me it's over, I don't want you to hurt
It's all that I can say, so I'll be on my way
so I'll be on my way
-Shinedown
What else can I do,
When the tears have all been wasted?
And the only voice you choose to hear,
sings the songs of our hearts breaking...
Say your dreams, they all have changed
Well, my smiles, they all have faded
And the thoughts that used to seem so pure in my heart
they now feel jaded.
Because I want to feel like I did.
I want to feel innoncence.
What else can it be?
Except this pride I'm sick of drinking.
Storm clouds all have gone away,
can we stop this thing from sinking?
Because I want to feel like I did.
And I want to feel innocence.
And I want you to know
and feel in your soul,
that someone has come and gone.
I'm stuck up here with you
I'd never thought we'd get this high
I used to be afraid of falling
Now I'll spread my wings,
and I will fly
I want to feel like I did.
And I want to feel innocence.
I wanna feel like I did.
Ohh I wanna feel innocence,
I
-Hootie and the Blowfish
I want a normal life
just like a newborn child
I am a lover hater
I am an instigator
You are an oversight
Don't try to compromise
I'll learn to love to hate it
I am not integrated
Just call my name
You'll be ok, your scream is burning
through my veins
Sooner or Later
Your gonna hate it
Go ahead and throw your life away
Driving me under
Leaving me out there
Go ahead and throw your life away
You're like an inch in time
You are open wide
You see them try to play me
Just like you see on tv
I am an oversight
Just like a parasite
Why am I so pathetic?
I know you won't forget it.
Just call my name
You'll be okay
Your scream is burning
through my veins
Sooner or Later
Your gonna hate it
Go ahead and throw my life away
Driving me under
Leaving me out there
Go ahead and throw my life away
Sooner or Later
Your gonna hate it
Go ahead and throw our life away
Driving me under
Leaving me out there
Go ahead and throw our life away....
-Breaking Benjamin
Odd one your never alone
I'm here and I will reflect you
both of us basically unattatched
to anything or any one
unless we're pretending
You live your life in your head
Some call it imagination
I'd rather focus instead
On anything except what I'm feeling, what I'm feeling
Aye, it's gonna be ok
Aye, we're gonna laugh at this one day
Odd one, I wish I was you
You're never concerned with acceptance
We are all desperately seeking out
and fitting out with anyone who will accept us
Aye, it's gonna be ok.
Aye, we'll both laugh at this one day
Hey, it's gonna be ok.
Hey, gonna laugh at this one day
Aye, it's gonna be ok.
Aye, we'll both laugh at this one day
Don't let someone tell you you're no one
Don't let someone tell you you're no one
Odd one.
The Sick Puppies
This is what I imagined my Bobby always saying to me, and now he is:
I never thought that I was so blind
I can finally see the truth, its me for you.
Tonight, you can't imagine that I'm by your side
'cause it's never can be the truth, so far for you.
But then you hear me say, "Don't throw me away."
and there's no way out, I gotta hold you somehow.
I wanna, I wanna, I wanna touch you
You wanna touch me too
Everyday, but all I have is time
Our love's the perfect crime
I wanna, I wanna, I wanna touch you
you wanna touch me too
in Every way and when they set me free
Just Put your hands on me.
Take, everthing that I know you'll break
and I give my life away, so far for you
But can you hear me say, "Don't throw me away."?
and there's no way out, I gotta hold you some how.
I wanna, I wanna, I wanna touch you
You wanna touch me me too
Everyday, but all I have is time
Our love's the perfect crime
I wanna, I wanna, I wanna touch you
you wanna touch me too
in every way and when they set me free,
Just put your hands on me
Tonight I'm weak, it's just another day without you
I can't sleep
I'd throw the world away for you to hear me say
"Don't throw me away."
and there's no way out, I gotta hold you some how
All I wanna do is touch you.
I wanna, I wanna, I wanna touch you
you wanna touch me too
Everyday but all I have is time
Our love's the perfect crime.
I wanna, I wanna, I wanna touch you
you wanna touch me too
every way and when they set me free
just place your hands on me
-All American Rejects
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....
[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.
Wait, another minute here, time will kill us after all
Can you feel that second hand wrapped around your neck?
So fall into my eyes, and fall into my lies
but don't you forget 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 your 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]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 your not mine
[Say never]
We're far from obvious this time.
[Cold]You broke me from the they 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 to obvious this this time.
Hello Darkness my old friend (smiles because the Darkness always knows)
I've come to talk with you again.
Because a vision soflty creeping
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
And the vision, that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the Sound of Silence.
In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone
'Neath the halo of a street lamp
I turn my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed with a flash of a neon light
It split the night
And touched the Sound of Silence.
And in the naked light I saw
10,000 people, maybe more
People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening
People writing songs that voices never shared
No one dared
Disturb the Sound of Silence
"Fools," said I, "you do not know,
Silence like a cancer grows"
Hear my words that I might teach you
Take my arms that I might reach you
But my words, like silent raindrops fell
and echoed
in the wells of silence.
And the People bowed and prayed
To the neon god they made
And the sign flashed out it's warning
in the words that it was forming
And the sign said, "That the words of the prophets are written on the subway walls
and tenement halls"
And whispered, in the Sounds of Silence
-Paul Simon
I have researched the meaning of this song, and peoples interpretation.
There are so many different perpectives, that this was a dream Simon had, that this was supposed to signify the folk-like rock of the 60's speaking about peace. It was written by Paul Simon when he was 21 years old. He never really goes in depth about what it is truly about, maybe because he's expecting us to "get it" on our own.
When Martin Luther King Jr. led the civil rights march, it was a peaceful and silent protest. Martin Luther King Jr. believed answering violence with violence only created more conflicts losing the purpose to the focus of violence. He believed in peaceful, silent, civic disobedience. Sometimes you can say something best without saying anything at all.
Maybe Paul Simon was waiting for us to catch on to that concept, who knows? I for one think it is so. But I am only one, and I can be wrong. I'd be interested in what others think Paul Simon means by this.
Also "neon god" could mean anything from the bright lights of Vegas/Sin City, to the movies created, to a simply hotel sign saying "no vacancy." It gives us a lot to interpret and think about.
The Boy only wanted to give mother something
and all of her roses had bloomed.
Looking at him as he came rushing in with them
Knowing her roses were doomed.
But all she could see were some thorns buried deep
and the tears in his eyes as she tended his wounds.
And she knew it was love....
It was one she could understand.
He was showing his love
and that's how he hurt his hands.
He still remembers that night as a child
on his mother's knee
She drew him close as she opened her Bible
and quietly started to read.
And seeing a picture of Jesus he cried out
"mama he's got some scars just like me"
And he knew it was love....
it was one he could understand.
He was showing His love and thats
how He hurt His hands.
Now the boys grown and moved out on his own
when Uncle Sam comes along.
A foreign affair, but our young men were there
and luck had his number drawn.
It wasn't too long 'til our hero was gone
but he gave to a friend what he learned from the cross
And they knew it was love....
it was one they could understand.
He was showing his love
and that's how he hurt his hands.
It was one they could understand
he was showing his love,
and thats how He hurt His hands.
