Tom Petty's "I won't back down"
Well I wont back down, no I wont back down
You can stand me up at the gates of hell
But I wont back down
Gonna stand my ground, wont be turned around
And Ill keep this world from draggin me down
Gonna stand my ground and I wont back down
Hey baby, there aint no easy way out
Hey I will stand my ground
And I wont back down.
Well I know whats right, I got just one life
In a world that keeps on pushin me around
But Ill stand my ground and I wont back down
Hey baby there aint no easy way out
Hey I will stand my ground
And I wont back down
No, I wont back down
And I won't.
Well I wont back down, no I wont back down
You can stand me up at the gates of hell
But I wont back down
Gonna stand my ground, wont be turned around
And Ill keep this world from draggin me down
Gonna stand my ground and I wont back down
Hey baby, there aint no easy way out
Hey I will stand my ground
And I wont back down.
Well I know whats right, I got just one life
In a world that keeps on pushin me around
But Ill stand my ground and I wont back down
Hey baby there aint no easy way out
Hey I will stand my ground
And I wont back down
No, I wont back down
And I won't.

When I Die by Lush
If you walked in now
I wouldn't start
I wouldn't frown
And if you just appeared
I wouldn't cry or think it weird
'Cause you are still around
You're in the air, you're in the ground
And you can't go away
I am afraid, you're here to stay
Friends don't understand
They close the door, they raise their hand
She says she hears your voice
Of course she does, she has no choice
I was hours ahead
When they removed you from your bed
They drank all the while
Until you said goodbye
Why are we sitting here in ourselves?
Why are we sitting here in ourselves?
Why are we sitting here in ourselves?
I don't look up. I don't look down
I look ahead and make no sound
My love was there, I only stare
Healthy in my dreams
Is what you are, is what it seems
What does it all mean?
You're only hiding behind a screen
Curse the English day
For what it forces us to say
Banish all the pain
'Cause when I die, I'll see you again
It's reminds me of losses but it's a lovely song to sing and posesses it's own sort of comfort.

I think that this song's meaning and why it means something to me should be self-evident:
"The Mary Ellen Carter", by Stan Rogers
Rise again, rise again
That her name not be lost to the knowledge of men
Those who loved her best and were with her 'til the end
Will make the Mary Ellen Carter rise again!
She went down last October in a pouring, driving rain
The skipper, he'd been drinkin', and the mate, he felt no pain
Too close to three-mile rock and she was dealt her mortal blow
And the Mary Ellen Carter settled low
There was just us five aboard her when she finally was awash
We'd worked like hell to save her, all heedless of the cost
And the groan she gave as she went down, it caused us to proclaim
That the Mary Ellen Carter would rise again!
Well, the owners wrote her off, not a nickel would they spend
She gave twenty years of service, boys, then met her sorry end
But insurance paid the loss to us, so let her rest below
Then they laughed at us and said we had to go
But we talked of her all winter, some days around the clock
For she's a quarter million afloat and at the dock
And with every jar that hit the bar we swore we would remain
And make the Mary Ellen Carter rise again!
Rise again, rise again
That her name not be lost to the knowledge of men
Those who loved her best and were with her 'til the end
Will make the Mary Ellen Carter rise again!
All spring now we've been with her on a barge lent by a friend
Three dives a day in a hardhat suit and twice I've had the bends
Thank G-d it's only sixty feet and the currents here are slow
Or I'd never have the strength to go below
But we've patched her rents, stopped her vents, dogged hatch and porthole down
Put cables to her fore and aft and girded her around
Tomorrow noon we'll hit the air and then take up the strain
And make the Mary Ellen Carter rise again!
Rise again, rise again
That her name not be lost to the knowledge of men
Those who loved her best and were with her 'til the end
Will make the Mary Ellen Carter rise again!
For we couldn't leave her there, you see, to crumble into scale
She'd saved our lives so many times, living through the gale
And the laughing, drunken rats who left her to a sorry grave
They won't be laughing in another day
And you, to whom adversity has dealt the final blow
With smiling ******** lying to you everywhere you go
Turn to, and put out all your strength of arm and heart and brain
And like the Mary Ellen Carter, rise again!
Rise again, rise again
Though your heart it be broken and life about to end
No matter what you've lost, be it a home, a love, a friend
Like the Mary Ellen Carter, rise again!
Rise again, rise again
Though your heart it be broken and life about to end
No matter what you've lost, be it a home, a love, a friend
Like the Mary Ellen Carter, rise again!

Kenny Chesney
It's time like these, I wish I were a Tin Man
You could hurt me all you wanted and I'd never even know
Well I'd give anything just to be the Tin Man
Then I wouldn't have a heart, And I wouldn't need a soul
I think the words pretty much tell the story, after while you just that you could be numb when it comes to hurt and pain.

I like this song:
Working Class Hero by John Lennon
As soon as you're born they make you feel small
By giving you no time instead of it all
Till the pain is so big you feel nothing at all
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be
They hurt you at home and they hit you at school
They hate you if you're clever and they despise a fool
Till you're so ------- crazy you can't follow their rules
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be
When they've tortured and scared you for twenty odd years
Then they expect you to pick a career
When you can't really function you're so full of fear
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be
Keep you doped with religion and sex and TV
And you think you're so clever and classless and free
But you're still ------- peasants as far as I can see
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be
There's room at the top they are telling you still
But first you must learn how to smile as you kill
If you want to be like the folks on the hill
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be
If you want to be a hero well just follow me
If you want to be a hero well just follow me
I think if you just read it you'll know why I like it. (unless you don't really know me very well at all... but most of you should have a pretty good idea about what I think about things.)

All My Chemical Romance's lyrics...They save people's lives. They saved mine when I was depressed with lyrics such as "I am Not Afraid To keep on living. I am not afraid to walk this world alone". etc.
Some samples from some songs...
Welcome To The Black Parade
We'll carry on
We'll carry on
And though you're dead and gone believe me
Your memory will carry on
We'll carry on
Famous Last Words
I am not afraid to keep on living
I am not afraid to walk this world alone
Honey, if you stay I'll be forgiven
Nothing you can say can stop me going home
The End.
Now come one, come all, to this tragic affair
Wipe off that make up, what's in is despair
So throw on the black dress, mix in with the lot
You might wake up and notice you're someone you're not
If you look in the mirror and don't like what you see
You can find out firsthand what it's like to be me
So gather 'round piggies and kiss this goodbye
I'd encourage your smiles
I'd expect you won't cry
Helena These are my fave lyrics...
Long ago
Just like the hearse you died to get in again
We are so far from you
Burning on
Just like the match you strike to incinerate
The lives of everyone you know
And what's the worst you take?
From every heart you break?
And like the blade you stain
Well I've been holding on tonight
What's the worst that I can say?
Things are better if I stay
So long and goodnight
Came a time
When every star falls
Brought you to tears again
We are the very hurt you sold
Can you hear me?
Are you near me?
Can we pretend to leave and then
We'll meet again
When both our cars collide..
So long and goodnight
Desert Song
We hold in our hearts
the sword and the faith
Swelled up from the rain clouds
Move like a wraith
Well after all, we'll lie another day?
And through it all we'll find some other way
To carry on through cartilage and fluid
And did you come to stare or wash away the blood?
Well tonight, well tonight will it ever come?
Spend the rest of your days rockin' out
Just for the dead
Well tonight,will it ever come?
I can see you awake anytime in my head
Did we all fall down?
Did we all fall down?
Did we all fall down?
Did we all fall down?
From the lights to the pavement
From the van to the floor
From backstage to the doctor
From the earth to the morgue
Morgue.... Morgue.... Morgue!
Well tonight, will it ever come?
Spend the rest of your days rockin' out just for the dead
Well tonight, will it ever come?
I can see you awake anytime in my head
All fall down, well after all....

How Deep Is Your Love - The Bee Gees
I know your eyes in the morning sun
I feel you touch me in the pouring rain.
And the moment that you wander far from me,
I wanna feel you in my arms again.
And you come to me on a summer breeze,
keep me warm in your love, then you softly leave.
And it's me you need to show
how deep is your love.
Deep is your love,
how deep is your love,
I really need to learn,
'cause we're living in a world of fools
breaking us down,
when they all should let us be.
We belong to you and me.
I believe in you.
You know the door to my very soul.
You're the light in my deepest darkest hour.
You're my saviour when I fall.
And you may not think
I care for you.
When you know down inside that I really do.
And it's me you need to show
how deep is your love.
Deep is your love,
how deep is your love,
I really need to learn,
'cause we're living in a world of fools
breaking us down,
when they all should let us be.
We belong to you and me.
I'm not telling you why, but those know me know why.
I know your eyes in the morning sun
I feel you touch me in the pouring rain.
And the moment that you wander far from me,
I wanna feel you in my arms again.
And you come to me on a summer breeze,
keep me warm in your love, then you softly leave.
And it's me you need to show
how deep is your love.
Deep is your love,
how deep is your love,
I really need to learn,
'cause we're living in a world of fools
breaking us down,
when they all should let us be.
We belong to you and me.
