Songs which effect you Thread

As many of you know, I love music, some alot more than others. You guys have any songs or lyrics which are really interesting? powerful or moving every time you hear them?

so I thought maybe we should start a thread about this.

there's this one song by bright eyes that has alot of meaning to me.

so the song is...

"Sunrise, Sunset" - Bright Eyes

Sunrise, sunset.
Sunrise, sunset.
Swiftly go the days.
Sunrise, sunset.
You wake up, then you undress.
It always is the same.
A sunrise and a sunset.
You are lying while you confess, keep trying to explain.
The sunrise and the sun sets you realize
and then you forget what you have been trying to retain.
But everybody knows that it is all about the things
that get stuck inside of your head,
like the songs your roommate sings
or a vision of her body as she stretches out on your bed.
She raised her hands in the air and asked you,
When was the last time you looked in the mirror?
Because you have changed.
Yeah, you have changed.
Sunrise, sunset.
You are hopeful and then you regret.
The circle never breaks.
With each sunrise and sunset there is a change of heart or address.
Is there nothing that remains?
For a sunrise or a sunset.
You are manic or you're depressed.
Will you ever feel ok?
It's a sunrise and sunset, your lover is an actress.
Did you really think she would stay?
For a sunrise and sunset.
You are either coming or you just left but you are always on the way.
Towards a sunrise or a sunset, a scribble or a sonnet.
They are really just the same.
To the sunrise and the sunset.
The master and his servant have exactly the same fate.
It's a sunrise and a sunset.
From a cradle to a casket.
There ain't no way to escape.
The sunrise and the sunset.
Hold your sadness like a puppet, just keep putting on the play.
But everything you do is leading to the point
where you just won't know what to do.
And at that moment you may laugh
but there is someone there who will be laughing louder than you.
So it's true, the trick is complete.
Now you have become everything you said that you never would be.
You're a fool! You're a fool!
Sunrise, sunset, sunrise, sunset.
The sunrise and the sunset.
Sunrise, sunset.
Go home to your apartment
and put the cassette in the tape deck and let that fever play.
Sunrise, sunset.
Where are you Arienette?
Where are you Arienette?

the ones in bold are the lines i like best, because I know I have changed lately, and I have made some memories, all of this on my inevitable way to death.

If you listen to the song while reading, he has alot of passion behind the lyrics, and I think the song is bad ass. you guys have anything like this?

"As many of you know, I love music"

- i dont know you

only moving songs are by guns n roses, our lady peace, and counting crows.

Against Me - "What we worked for."

best rap song EVER:
regulate - nate dogg and warren G

post the lyrics,
i love this song:

John Lennon-Imagine.

Imagine there's no heaven,
It's easy if you try,
No hell below us,
Above us only sky,
Imagine all the people
living for today...

Imagine there's no countries,
It isnt hard to do,
Nothing to kill or die for,
No religion too,
Imagine all the people
living life in peace...

You may say Im a dreamer,
but Im not the only one,
I hope some day you'll join us,
And the world will live as one.

Imagine no possesions,
I wonder if you can,
No need for greed or hunger,
A brotherhood of man,
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world...

You may say Im a dreamer,
but Im not the only one,
I hope some day you'll join us,
And the world will live as one.

Billy Joel-Honesty

If you search for tenderness
it isn't hard to find.
You can have the love you need to live.
But if you look for truthfulness
You might just as well be blind.
It always seems to be so hard to give.

Honesty is such a lonely word.
Everyone is so untrue.
Honesty is hardly ever heard.
And mostly what I need from you.

I can always find someone
to say they sympathize.
If I wear my heart out on my sleeve.
But I don't want some pretty face
to tell me pretty lies.
All I want is someone to believe.

Honesty is such a lonely word.
Everyone is so untrue.
Honesty is hardly ever heard.
And mostly what I need from you.

I can find a lover.
I can find a friend.
I can have security until the bitter end.
Anyone can comfort me
with promises again.
I know, I know.

When I'm deep inside of me
don't be too concerned.
I won't ask for nothin' while I'm gone.
But when I want sincerity
tell me where else can I turn.
cause you're the one that I depend upon.

Honesty is such a lonely word.
Everyone is so untrue.
Honesty is hardly ever heard.
And mostly what I need from you.

I have so many. If its a pump-up kinda thing its

Relient K-Pressing On

I think we're going somewhere.
We're on to something good here.
Out of mind, out of state.
Trying to keep my head on straight.
I think we're going somewhere.
We're on to something good here.
There's only one thing left to do.
Drop all I have and go with you.

[Chorus:]
Somewhere back there I left my worries all behind.
My problems fell out of the back of my mind.
We're going and I'm never knowing (never knowing) where we're going.
To go back to where I was would just be wrong.
I'm pressing on.
Pressing on, all my distress is going, going, gone. (pressing on, pressing on)
And I won't sit back, and take this anymore.
'Cause I'm done with that, I've got one foot out the door.
And to go back where I was would just be wrong
I'm pressing on.

I think we're going somewhere.
We're on to something good here.
Out of mind, out of state.
Trying to keep my head on straight.
I think we're going somewhere.
We're on to something good here.
Adversity, we get around it.
Searched for joy, in you I found it.

You look down on me, but you don't look down on me at all.
You smile and laugh, and I feel the love you have for me.
I think we're going somewhere.
We're on to something good here, and we're gonna make it after all.

Stevie Wonder(i preffer the john stevens[american idol 3] version)-Lately

Lately, I have had the strangest feeling
With no vivid reason here to find
Yet the thought of losing you’s been hanging
’round my mind

Far more frequently you’re wearing perfume
With you say no special place to go
But when I ask will you be coming back soon
You don’t know, never know

Well, I’m a man of many wishes
Hope my premonition misses
But what I really feel my eyes won’t let me hide
cause they always start to cry
cause this time could mean goodbye

Lately I’ve been staring in the mirror
Very slowly picking me apart
Trying to tell myself I have no reason
With your heart

Just the other night while you were sleeping
I vaguely heard you whisper someone’s name
But when I ask you of the thoughts your keeping
You just say nothing’s changed

Well, I’m a man of many wishes
I hope my premonition misses
But what I really feel my eyes won’t let me hide
cause they always start to cry
cause this time could mean goodbye, goodbye

Oh, I’m a man of many wishes
I hope my premonition misses
But what I really feel my eyes won’t let me hide
cause they always start to cry
cause this time could mean goodbye

this song is badass

Godsmack - Realign

Decisions made from desperation
No way to go
Internal instincts craving isolation
For me to grow

My fears come alive
In this place where I once died
Demons dreaming
Knowing I...I just needed to realign

Fell in a river of illusion
And apathy
Drowning in a self-induced confusion
I'd rather be

My fears come alive
In this place where I once died
Demons dreaming
Knowing I...I just needed to realign

My fears come alive
In this place where I once died
Demons dreaming
Knowing I...I just needed to realign

My fears come alive
In this place where I once died
Demons dreaming
Knowing I...I just needed to realign

My fears come alive
In this place where I once died
Demons dreaming
Knowing I...I just needed to realign
Yeah!

Evanescence - Everybody's fool

perfect by nature
icons of self indulgence
just what we all need
more lies about a world that

never was and never will be
have you no shame don't you see me
you know you've got everybody fooled

look here she comes now
bow down and stare in wonder
oh how we love you
no flaws when you're pretending
but now i know she

never was and never will be
you don't know how you've betrayed me
and somehow you've got everybody fooled

without the mask where will you hide
can't find yourself lost in your lie

i know the truth now
i know who you are
and i don't love you anymore

it never was and never will be
you're not real and you can't save me
somehow now you're everybody's fool

If you've ever had problems with a girlfriend you'll understand this 'un

System of a Down - Roullette

I have a problem that I cannot explain,
I have no reason why it should've been so plain,
Have no questions but I sure have excuse,
I lack the reason why I should be so confused.

I know, how I feel when I'm around you,
I don't know, how I feel when I'm around you,
Around you.

Left a message but it ain't a bit of use,
I have some pictures, the wild might be the deuce,
Today you saw, you saw me, you explained,
Playin the show and running down the plane.

I know, how I feel when I'm around you,
I don't know, how I feel when I'm around you,
I know, how I feel when I'm around you,
I don't know, how I feel when I'm around you,
Around you,

I know, how I feel when I'm around you,
I don't know, how I feel when I'm around you,
I know, how I feel when I'm around you,
I don't know, how I feel when I'm around you,
Around you, Around you, Around you...

and I chose this song as well because the lyrics are so well written that they really do put a ccross the feeling of the situatuion:

Iron Maiden - Hallowed be thy name

I'm waiting in my cold cell, when the bell begins to chime.
Reflecting on my past life and it doesn't have much time.
'Cause at 5 o'clock they take me to the Gallows pole,
The sands of time for me are running low.
When the priest comes to read me the last rites,
I take a look through the bars at the last sights,
Of a world that has gone very wrong for me.
Can it be that there's some sort of error.
Hard to stop the surmounting terror.
Is it really the end, not some crazy dream.
Somebody please tell me that I'm dreaming,
It's not so easy to stop from screaming,
The words escape me when I try to speak.
Tears flow but why am I crying,
After all I'm not afraid of dying.
Don't I believe that there never is an end.
As the guards march me out to the courtyard,
Somebody cries from a cell God be with you.
If there's a God then why has he let me go?
As I walk all my life drifts before me,
Though the end is near I'm not sorry.
Catch my soul, it's willing to fly away.
Mark my words believe my soul lives on.
Don't worry now that I have gone.
I've gone beyond to seek the truth.
When you know that your time is close at hand.
Maybe then you'll begin to understand,
Life down here is just a strange illusion
Hallowed be thy name.

Nightwish - "Over the Hills and far Away

They came for him one winter’s night.
Arrested’ he was bound.
They said there’d been a robbery’
his pistol had been found.

They marched him to the station house’
he waited for the dawn.
And as they led him to the dock’
he knew that he’d been wronged.
You stand accused of robbery’
he heard the bailiff say.
He knew without an alibi’
tomorrow’s light would mourn his freedom.

Over the hills and far away’
for ten long years he’ll count the days.
Over the mountains and the seas’
a prisoner’s life for him there’ll be.

He knew that it would cost him dear’
but yet he dare not say.
Where he had been that fateful night’
a secret it must stay.
He had to fight back tears of rage.
His heart beat like a drum.
For with the wife of his best friend’
he spent his final night of freedom.

Over the hills and far away’
he swears he will return one day.
Far from the mountains and the seas’
back in her arms again he’ll be.
Over the hills and far away.

Over the hills and’
over the hills and’
over the hills and far away.

Each night within his prison cell’
he looks out through the bars.
He reads the letters that she wrote.
One day he’ll know the taste of freedom.

Over the hills and far away’
she prays he will return one day.
As sure as the rivers reach the seas’
back in his arms again she’ll be.

Over the hills and far away’
he swears he will return one day.
Far from the mountains and the seas’
back in her arms again he’ll be.

Over the hills and far away’
she prays he will return one day.
As sure as the rivers reach the sea’
back in her arms is where he’ll be.

Over the hills’
over the hills and far away.

Over the hills’
over the hills and far away.

Metallica - The Call Of Ktulu

"..."

Pink Floyd - High Hopes
Beyond the horizon of the place we lived when we were young
In a world of magnets and miracles
Our thoughts strayed constantly and without boundary
The ringing of the division bell had begun
Along the Long Road and on down the Causeway
Do they still meet there by the Cut
There was a ragged band that followed in our footsteps
Running before time took our dreams away
Leaving the myriad small creatures trying to tie us to the ground
To a life consumed by slow decay
The grass was greener
The light was brighter
With friends sorrounded
The nights of wonder
Looking beyond the embers of bridges glowing behind us
To a glimpse of how green it was on the other side
Steps taken forwards but sleepwalking back again
Dragged by the force of some inner tide
At a higher altitude with flag unfurled
We reached the dizzy heights of that dreamed of world
Encumbered forever by desire and ambition
There's a hunger still unsatisfied
Our weary eyes still stray to the horizon
Though down this road we've been so many times
The grass was greener
The light was brighter
The taste was sweeter
The nights of wonder
With friends sorrounded
The dawn mist glowing
The water flowing
The endless river
Forever and ever

Millencolin - No Cigar

Tell us where you’re from
What you want to become
And we’ll say if you’re ok
Where did you go to school?
Right answer and you’re cool
Yeah, you’re the kid the whole day

You get a sticker in your face
Information about the case
So you know your potential
Don’t think you can extend
Don’t think you can extend, just comprehend
But I don’t wana hear it
No, it’s more than I accept

’cause I don’t care where I belong no more
What we share or not I will ignore

We will shut you out
We’ll put you in doubt
If you think that you’re special
We’ll tell you who you are
We’ll tell you that you’re close but no cigar
But I don’t wana hear it
No, it’s more than I accept

’cause I don’t care where I belong no more
What we share or not I will ignore
And I won’t waste my time fitting in
’cause I don’t think contrast is a sin

What they say is...
Go back, where you came from
They’ll tell you that, I don’t wanna hear
No, I don’t wanna hear
No, I don’t wanna hear it
No, it’s more than I accept

’cause I don’t care where I belong no more
What we share or not I will ignore
And I won’t waste my time fitting in
’cause I don’t think contrast is a sin
No, it’s not a sin

The first one has pretty interesting lirycs (that's Pink Floyd, guys!), while the second one is a standard skate-punk, energetic song.

Pink Floyd - "Brick in the Wall"

I can't be bothered to find the lyrics, but I can really realte to them.
