At the moment, Tears for Fears - Shout.

Shout, shout, let it all out, these are the things I can do without
Come on, I'm talking to you, come on
Shout, shout, let it all out, these are the things I can do without
Come on, I'm talking to you, come on

In violent times, you shouldn't have to sell your soul
In black and white, they really really ought to know
Those one track minds that took you for a working boy
Kiss them goodbye, you shouldn't have to jump for joy
You shouldn't have to jump for joy

Shout, shout, let it all out, these are the things I can do without
Come on, I'm talking to you, come on

They gave you life, and in return you gave them hell
As cold as ice, I hope we live to tell the tale
I hope we live to tell the tale

Shout, shout, let it all out, these are the things I can do without
Come on, I'm talking to you, come on
Shout, shout, let it all out, these are the things I can do without
Come on, I'm talking to you, come on

Shout, shout, let it all out (let it all out)
These are the things I can do without
Come on, I'm talking to you, come on

And when you've taken down your guard
If I could change your mind, I'd really love to break your heart
I'd really love to break your heart

Shout, shout, let it all out
(Break your heart) these are the things I can do without
(I'd really love to break your heart) come on
I'm talking to you, come on
Shout, shout, let it all out, these are the things I can do without
Come on, I'm talking to you so come on

Shout, shout, let it all out, these are the things I can do without
Come on, I'm talking to you, come on
(They really really ought to know) Shout, shout, let it all out
(Really really ought to know) These are the things I can do without
(They really really) Come on, I'm talking to you, come on
(They really really ought to know) Shout, shout, let it all out
(I'd really love to break your heart)
These are the things I can do without
(I'd really love to break your heart)
Come on, I'm talking to you so come on
Shout, shout, let it all out, these are the things I can do without
Come on, I'm talking to you, come on

One instrumental song I find inspirational is Metallica's Call of Ktulu. Some songs I connect to are Disturbed's Down with the Sickness, Stained's Epiphany, Slipknot's Duality, Korn's Somebody Someone, Pantera's F*** the world, Children of Bodom's Angels don't kill, and Hypocrisy's Eraser.

"Madgelena" -- A Perfect Circle

Overcome by your
Moving temple
Overcome by this
Holiest of altars

So pure
So rare
To witness such an earthly goddess
That I've lost my self control
Beyond compelled to throw this dollar down before your
Holiest of altars

I'd sell
My soul
My self-esteem a dollar at a time

One chance
One kiss
One taste of you my magdalena

I bear witness
To this place, this prayer, so long forgotten
So pure
So rare
To witness such an earthly goddess

That I'd sell
My soul
My self-esteem a dollar at a time
For one chance
One kiss
One taste of you my black madonna

I'd sell
My soul
My self-esteem a dollar at a time

One taste
One taste
One taste of you my Magdalena

Barenaked Ladies -- "Pinch Me"

It's the perfect time of year
Somewhere far away from here
I feel fine enough, I guess
Considering everything's a mess.
There's a restaurant down the street
Where hungry people like to eat
I could walk, but I'll just drive
It's colder than it looks outside.

It's like a dream - you try to remember but it's gone..,

...then ya
Try to scream but it only comes out as a yawn, when ya
Try to see the world beyond your front door.
Take your time cos the way I rhyme's gonna make you smile, when ya
Realise that with a guy my size it might take a while, just to
Try to figure out what all this is for.

It's the perfect time of day
To throw all your cares away
Put the sprinkler on the lawn
And run through with my gym shorts on.
Take a drink right from the hose
And change into some drier clothes
Climb the stairs up to my room
Sleep away the afternoon.

It's like a dream - you try to remember but it's gone, then ya
Try to scream but it only comes out as a yawn, when ya
Try to see the world beyond your front door.

[T] Hello? Hi? H-? Hello? If you just- Would you- Could-
Could you please leave a m- Ah. If you'd just let me leave a -
At the sound of the - Uh. Ah. Thanks.

Take your time cos the way I rhyme's gonna make you smile, when ya
Realise that with a guy my size it might take a while, just to
Try to figure out what all this is for.
Pinch Me
Pinch Me
Cos I'm still asleep.
Please God
Tell Me
That I'm still asleep

On an evening such as this
It's hard to tell if I exist
If I Packed a car and leave this town
Who'll notice that I'm not around?
I could hide out under there
I just made you say 'underwear'
I could leave but I'll just stay
All my stuff's here anyway.
It's like a dream - you try to remember but it's gone, then ya
Try to scream but it only comes out as a yawn, when ya
Try to see the world beyond your front door.

If you're listening? We're trying to get our song on Napster,
but we don't know how to do it....errr....we're Barenaked Ladies
and we're trying to....Ty? Can you just press that over there?

Take your time cos the way I rhyme's gonna make you smile, when ya
Realise that with a guy my size it might take a while, just to
Try to figure out what all this is for.
Try to figure out what all this is for.
Try to see the world beyond your front door.
Try to figure out what all this is for.

Please sing it with me if you know it. If you don't know it, d/l it. Esp. the '94 earls court Pulse version. Search for "Pulse Pink Floyd", :D

Hello?...

Is there anybody in there?...

Just nod if you can hear me..... (Chris Nods)

Is there anyone home?

Come on, now.....

I hear you’re feeling down....
Well I can ease your pain,
Get you on your feet again. :eek:


Relax.....

We need some information first.....

Just the basic facts:
Can you show me where it hurts?

There is no pain, you are receding...

A distant ship’s smoke on the horizon...

You are only coming through in waves.... ~~ ~~ ~~

Your lips move but I can’t hear what you’re sayin’...

When I was a child I had a fever.
My hands felt just like two balloons.
Now I got that feeling once again.

I can’t explain, you would not understand.
This is not how I am.
I have become comfortably numb.

Ok...

Just a little pinprick. [ping]

There’ll be no more --(choral)aaaaaahhhhh!....

But you may feel a little sick.

Can you stand up?

I do believe it’s working. Good.

That’ll keep you going for the show.

Come on it’s time to go.

There is no pain, you are receding.

A distant ship’s smoke on the horizon.
You are only coming through in waves.
Your lips move but I can’t hear what you’re sayin’.

When I was a child I caught a fleeting glimpse,
Out of the corner of my eye.

I turned to look but it was gone.
I cannot put my finger on it now.
The child is grown, the dream is gone.


I.... have become.... comfortably numb.

<<<Insert meanest guitar solo in the history of human kind + Bestest light show ever here>>>

Far too many for one thread! I guess the one I am hooked on at the moment is Bob Dylan's "Forever Young". Sung by someone other than Bob Dylan, of course. man, he could write, but singing wasn't his forte.

Forever Young

By Bob Dylan

May God bless and keep you always,
May your wishes all come true,
May you always do for others
And let others do for you.
May you build a ladder to the stars
And climb on every rung,
May you stay forever young,
Forever young, forever young,
May you stay forever young.

May you grow up to be righteous,
May you grow up to be true,
May you always know the truth
And see the lights surrounding you.
May you always be courageous,
Stand upright and be strong,
May you stay forever young,
Forever young, forever young,
May you stay forever young.

May your hands always be busy,
May your feet always be swift,
May you have a strong foundation
When the winds of changes shift.
May your heart always be joyful,
May your song always be sung,
May you stay forever young,
Forever young, forever young,
May you stay forever young.;)

Bob Dylan. I wonder why his voice changed so much? Remember lay, lady, lay? Then his later releases were... different.

The Veil-- "a single note"
l went to sleep as human
but l awoke beneath the earth
deep inside a half-domed cave
awaiting my rebirth

As a spring l made my way
through the soil l bubbled forth
as a lake l appeared
filling a wider course

Leaping out of the ground
with the strength to wake the dead
gathering up the ancient voices
a choir released from my head

The beasts in the forest came calling
to sip of my fathomless wine
at the edge of the lake like children
in a careless unbroken line

l waited through spring and summer
but still the men wouldn't come
unwilling to shade in my wisdom
though their flesh burned in the sun

Afraid they waited in doorways
moving neither in nor out
deprived of their salvation
their spirits entombed in doubt

Through the changes and the Fall
and words like leaves that covered me
l kept my nature clear and strong
and waited patiently

Sometimes l lay frozen
under thick folds of ice
but l waited for the daughters
who would one day give me life

And so it was for centuries
while dark ages held the day
the earth above was ravaged
and barbarians had their way

But seasons come and seasons go
l feel the ice groan and strain
father seeking the Mother
who can philter his poison rain

l feel that spring now surely comes
l hear my voice in a youthful throat
and taken up like a warrior's cry
a symphony grows from a single note
-----------------------------
The Veil-- "Sophai Speaks"...
l am Sophia, hear me
l will take you where you've never been
l will curl around you like a snake in love
l will be your sacrifice

You will lust for my heat of life
l will satisfy your every need
l will pull you out from inside yourself
l will be the soul you can't resist

You will hunger and be satisfied
l will be the spark that moves your lips
You will stand taller even than the clouds
And become more fully what you truly are

l will slay the god that l brought forth
l will seal their lips who would speak his name
l will crush their clay back into dust
l will take his thought and it will be lost

Never again will l leave the Earth
Never again will the false one lead
He has shown the way to a dreadful ruin
He has raised the temples that drip in blood

He has brought the sword in his own name
No longer can my tongue be stayed
From this day forth
you have my vow
My everlasting troth

l will bring my flesh to you
You will live inside my hope
Take my symbol from this day forth
Of my never ending promise

l will be where your eyes look
l will be there when they're resting
l will be your shade in the wasteland
None but me will fill your chalice
l will be your light and air and water
Come with me and begin again
l am Sophia: know me

( i know, the word obsession comes to mind...)

The lyrics to Down With the Sickness.

Drowning deep in my sea of loathing
Broken your servant I kneel
(Will you give in to me?)
It seems what's left of my human side
Is slowly changing in me
(Will you give in to me?)

Looking at my own reflection
When suddenly it changes
Violently it changes (oh no)
There is no turning back now
You've woken up the demon in me

[Chorus:]
Get up, come on get down with the sickness [x3]
Open up your hate, and let it flow into me
Get up, come on get down with the sickness
You mother get up come on get down with the sickness
You f------ get up come on get down with the sickness
Madness is the gift, that has been given to me

I can see inside you, the sickness is rising
Don't try to deny what you feel
(Will you give in to me?)
It seems that all that was good has died
And is decaying in me

It seems you're having some trouble
In dealing with these changes
Living with these changes (oh no)
The world is a scary place
Now that you've woken up the demon in me

[Chorus]

(And when I dream) [x4]
No mommy, don't do it again
Don't do it again
I'll be a good boy
I'll be a good boy, I promise
No mommy don't hit me
Why did you have to hit me like that, mommy?
Dont do it, you're hurting me
Why did you have to be such a b----
Why don't you,
Why don't you just f--- off and die
Why can't you just f--- off and die
Why can't you just leave here and die
Never stick your hand in my face again b----
F--- YOU
I don't need this s---
You stupid sadistic abusive f------ whore
How would you like to see how it feels mommy
Here it comes, get ready to die

The true meaning of that song has inspired me and help me become who I am. And just incase your wondering, the meaning of the song is to not conform. To go off, do your own thing, and tell people who stare and laugh to go f--- off. I am even going to get the Disturbed face logo tattooed on the lower-back part of my neck with the words "Down With The Sickness" wrote around because that song is so important to me.

I wrote this in my daughters christmas card.


If you leap awake
in the mirror of a bad dream
And for a fraction of a second
You can't remember where you are
Just open your window
And follow your memory upstream
To the meadow in the mountain
Where we counted every falling star

I believe the light that shines on you
Will shine on you forever
And though I can't guarantee
There's nothing scary hiding under your bed
I'm gonna stand guard
Like a postcard of a golden retreiver
And never leave till I leave you
With a sweet dream in your head

I'm gonna watch you shine
Gonna watch you grow
Gonna paint a sign
So you'll always know
There could never be a father
Who loved his daughter more than I love you

Trust your intuition
It's just like goin' fishin'
You cast your line
And hope you get a bite
But you don't need to waste your time
Worryin' about the market place
Try to help the human race
Struggling to survive it's harshest night

I'm gonna watch you shine
gonna watch you grow
gonna paint a sign
So you'll always know

As long as one and one is two

There could never be a father
Who loved his daughter more than I love you

I fought against their further attempts to convince a kid that birthright can bestow
The power to yield the subordination of women and do you know
- what patricentricity means? I found out just a couple of days ago.
It means male values uber alles and hey! Whaddaya know...
Sex has been distorted and vilified. I'm scared of my attraction to body types.
If everything desired is objectified then maybe eroticism needs to be redefined. And I refuse to be a "man".

Tool - "Sober"

There’s a shadow just behind me. shrouding every step I take.
Making every promise empty. pointing every finger at me.
Waiting like a stalking butler, who upon the finger rests.
Murder now the path of ’must we’, just because the son has come.

Jesus, won’t you ******* whistle. something but the past and done.

Why can’t we not be sober? I just want to start this over.
Why can’t we drink forever? I just want to start this over.

I am just a worthless liar. I am just an imbecile.
I will only complicate you. trust in me and fall as well.
I will find a center in you. I will chew it up and leave.
I will work to elevate you, just enough to bring you down.

Mother mary, won’t you whisper. something but the past is done.

Why can’t we not be sober? I just want to start this over.
Why can’t we sleep forever? I just want to start this over.

I am just a worthless liar. I am just an imbecile.
I will only complicate you. trust in me and fall as well.
I will find a center in you. I will chew it up and leave.
Trust me. trust me. trust me. trust me. trust me.

Why can’t we not be sober. I just want to start things over.
Why can’t we sleep forever. I just want to start this over.

I want what I want...

Seeing as we're on the Tool thing, this song screams Gnosis at me :D

Tool - Lateralus
Black then white are all I see in my infancy.
red and yellow then came to be, reaching out to me.
lets me see.

As below, so above and beyond, I imagine
drawn beyond the lines of reason.
Push the envelope. Watch it bend.

Over thinking, over analyzing separates the body from the mind.
Withering my intuition, missing opportunities and I must
Feed my will to feel my moment drawing way outside the lines.


Black then white are all I see in my infancy.
red and yellow then came to be, reaching out to me.
lets me see there is so much more
and beckons me to look through to these infinite possibilities
.

As below, so above and beyond, I imagine
drawn outside the lines of reason.
Push the envelope. Watch it bend.
***>>>>>>>Over thinking, over analyzing separates the body from the mind.Withering my intuition leaving all these opportunities behind.<<<<<<***


Feed my will to feel this moment urging me to cross the line.
Reaching out to embrace the random.
Reaching out to embrace whatever may come.


I embrace my desire to
feel the rhythm, to feel connected
enough to step aside and weep like a widow
to feel inspired, to fathom the power,
to witness the beauty, to bathe in the fountain,
to swing on the spiral
of our divinity and still be a human.


With my feet upon the ground I lose myself
between the sounds and open wide to suck it in,
I feel it move across my skin.
I'm reaching up and reaching out,
I'm reaching for the random or what ever will bewilder me.
What EVER Will BE-Willlllder me
And following our will and wind we may just go where no one's been.
We'll ride the spiral to the end and may just go where no one's been.


Spiral out. Keep going, going... SPIRAL OUT KEEP GOING, SPIRAL OUT KEEP GOING, SPIRAL OOOUUUT KEEP GOING
