For ChrisP, the spanish lyrics for Despertar by Los Heroes (this group, in case you couldn't tell, Probably connects more than any other I know.)

Quién nos devora
Que una pesadilla me parte en dos
Tanto odio encontró
En la melodía que ahoga mi voz

Todo se olvida al despertar
Una vez más
Sólo puedo soñar
Entre arena y espuma
Cómo puedo olvidar

A alguien que un día me quiso ayudar
Si no sé perdonar
El daño que has hecho a mi alrededor

Who devours us that a crumb will break me in two?
There is so much hate in the melody that drowns my voice
Everything is forgotten upon waking
I can only dream, between sand and sea-foam

How can I forget somebody who one day wanted to help me
If I don't know how to forgive the hate that's around me?
A short song, yes, but a good one.

Blasphemous Romours by Depeche Mode

Girl of 16, whole life ahead of her
Slashed her wrists, bored with life
Didn't succeed, thank the lord
For small mercies

Fighting back the tears, mother reads the note again.
16 candles burning in her mind
She takes the blame, it's always the same
She goes down on her knees and prays

I don't want to start any blasphemous romours but I think that god's got a sick sense of humour and when I die I expect to find him laughing.

Girl of 18, fell in love with everything
Found new life in Jesus Christ.
Hitten by a car, ended up
On a life support machine

Summer's day, as she passed away
Birds were singing in the summer sky
Then came the rain and once again
A tear fell from her mother's eye

I don't want to start any blasphemous rumours but I think that God's got a sick sense and when I die I expect to find him laughing.

I used to listen to this song so much I wore the tape out.

 

[Aqualung]

Yeah, I absolutely love that song. It's either that or "It's A Heart" that's on the top of my DM list.

 

[standing_alone]

Well, I really like this band called Sentenced (but they disbanded just recently), and my favorite song of theirs is called "No One There." Here it is:

The axe, the bottle and the rope
The feeling there really is no more hope
The thought of the great unknown
And facing it alone
The dark, the silent and the cold
The feeling I have come to the end of my road
Yes, these are the things I spend
My remaining moments with

And the wind blows through my heart
Shivers me one last time
As I now reach out in the dark
No one there

Why did it have to be so hard
For us to live our lives
Again I reach out in the dark in despair

The desperation and the snow
The feeling of finally coming back home
The melancholy and the hole in the soil so hard and cold

And the wind blows through my heart
Shivers me one last time
As I now reach out in the dark
No one there

Your love for me, my love for you
Things we somehow managed to lose
Now there´s only the ruthless wind
To blow right through
It freezes my heart, my desperate heart
It freezes my heart, my desperate heart
It freezes my heart, my desperate heart
To think we both will die alone

And the wind blows through my heart
Shivers me one last time
As I now reach out in the dark
No one there

 

[Majikthise]

Yeah, I absolutely love that song. It's either that or "It's A Heart" that's on the top of my DM list.

There was another DM song on there that is my favorite of theirs..." I want somebody to love , for the rest of my life......" , it puts a lump in my throat whenever I hear it.

Hehe. Me too. I love that one as well. I would die if somebody sang that to me.

Somebody by Depeche Mode

I want somebody to share
Share the rest of my life
Share my innermost thoughts
Know my intimate details
Someone who’ll stand by my side
And give me support
And in return
She’ll get my support
She will listen to me
When I want to speak
About the world we live in
And life in general
Though my views may be wrong
They may even be perverted
She’ll hear me out
And won’t easily be converted
To my way of thinking
In fact she’ll often disagree
But at the end of it all
She will understand me
Aaaahhhhh....

I want somebody who cares
For me passionately
With every thought and
With every breath
Someone who’ll help me see things
In a different light
All the things I detest
I will almost like
I don’t want to be tied
To anyone’s strings
I’m carefully trying to steer clear of
Those things
But when I’m asleep
I want somebody
Who will put their arms around me
And kiss me tenderly
Though things like this
Make me sick
In a case like this
I’ll get away with it

 

[ChrisP]

Hehe. Me too. I love that one as well. I would die if somebody sang that to me.

Careful, you don't want to give the evil ninja's hiding in the shower any help!

That song is awesome. Veruca Salt did a remake on the Depeche Mode tribute album and it's adorable. Sigh...

I want somebody to share
Share the rest of my life
Share my innermost thoughts
Know my intimate details
Someone who'll stand by my side
And give me support
And in return
She'll get my support

Though my views may be wrong

With every thought and with every breath
Someone who'll help me see things

What? Do you know something?

 

[dawny0826]

Yikes! Aqualung beat me to it!

Another song I like is "Facing What Consumes You" by Hatebreed:

Facing what consumes you is the only way to be free.
Released from those poisonous fears.
Resurrected once and for all.
You want me to hold my tongue
Then why the f**k am I here?
You want me to bottle my rage
Cause you never had the heart to say what I say.
My life, my body, my pride.
You have no opinion, no right.
I've built myself nothing like you.
My refusal is my way of life.
Doubt me, Hate me
You're the inspiration I need
My life, my body, my pride
You have no say
My life, my body, my pride
You don't have say
Facing what consumes you is the only way to be free.
Though I'm still far from perfection.
I stay relevant, I'm still vigilante.
I have so much more to say.
I have so much more to fight for.
I've used your lack of inspiration.
As my awakening, its my ability to live forever
By my own command.
To be vehement, remain confident.
Doubt me, Hate me
You're the inspiration I need
You're all the inspiration I need.
Your doubt, it fuels me.
Your hate, it drives me.
The challenge ignites me.
You make me fight harder.

 

[ChrisP]

What? Do you know something?

Sorry they swore me to secrecy. All part of the secret pizza ninja code

 

[Aqualung]

Oh. I thought you were making an obscure reference to the fact that I used to be afraid that anorexic people were hiding in my shower.

 

[ChrisP]

Oh. I thought you were making an obscure reference to the fact that I used to be afraid that anorexic people were hiding in my shower.

Anorexic Pizza Ninja's... hrrrmmmm they are a most deadly clan. Be wary young Tull, and may the Sauce be with you.

The Book I Read - The Talking Heads

I’m writing ’bout the
Book I read
I have to sing about the
Book I read
I’m embarassed to admit it hit the soft spot in my heart
When I found out you wrote the
Book I read so

Take my shoulders as they touch your arms i’ve
Got little cold chills but I feel alright the
Book I read was in your eyes oh oh

Oh...I’m living in the future.
I feel wonderful.
I’m tipping over backwards
I’m so ambitious
I’m looking back i’m
Running a race and you’re the book I read so

Feel my fingers as they
Touch your arms
I’m spinning around but I feel alright

 

[Smoke]

I can connect to just about any Melissa Etheridge song. I think "Scarecrow," about the murder of Matthew Shepard, is one of her more important songs. "Brave and Crazy" is one of the more fun ones.

Brave and Crazy

If I could have my way
I'd be sleeping in the alley
On a couch with a friend and a bottle of gin
If I could have my way
I'd be runnin' with the circus
I would be taming all the lions
There'd be no denying I was brave and crazy
If I could have my way
I wouldn't be dreaming, scheming, screaming
Oooh, what am I gonna do
About you

I wishes were horses
This beggar would ride
I'd have my cake and eat it
With a little on the side
I'd never want for money
I'd never want for friends
I wouldn't have to make excuses for the shape that I'm in
Shaking and crazy
Before I saw your eyes
I was in control of my soul on the whole
Oooh, what am I gonna do
About you

Cool as a rule
I wouldn't play nobody's fool
But I keep on talking
Made in the shade
I had a perfect cue to fade
But I keep on walking

If I could have my way
I'd check out right now
I'd say out to lunch honey thanks a bunch
It wouldn't work out anyhow
But this desire's too much
It's rented out my brain
It's showing previews of your body
Driving me insane
And that's crazy
So all that I can do
Is to beg, plead, won't you tell me please
What am I gonna do
About you


Scarecrow

Showers of your crimson blood
Seep into a nation calling up a flood
Of narrow minds who legislate
Thinly veiled intolerance
Bigotry and hate

But they tortured and burned you
They beat you and they tied you
They left you cold and breathing
For love they crucified you

I can't forget hard as I try
This silhouette against the sky

Scarecrow crying
Waiting to die wondering why
Scarecrow trying
Angels will hold carry your soul away

This was our brother
This was our son
This shepherd young and mild
This unassuming one
We all gasp this can't happen here
We're all much too civilized
Where can these monsters hide

But they are knocking on our front door
They're rocking in our cradles
They're preaching in our churches
And eating at our tables

I search my soul
My heart and in my mind
To try and find forgiveness
This is someone's child
With pain unreconciled
Filled up with father's hate
Mother's neglect
I can forgive
But I will not forget

Scarecrow crying
Waiting to die wondering why
Scarecrow trying
Rising above all in the name of love

For ChrisP, the spanish lyrics for Despertar by Los Heroes (this group, in case you couldn't tell, Probably connects more than any other I know.)

I love this group.

 

[Aqualung]

Really? I listen to a lot of music in spanish. Well, relatively a lot. They're definitely my favourite spanish group, but I also like Los Caifanes, Los Toreros Muertos, and other 80s groups.
