The Eagles - Hotel California:
On a dark desert highway
Cool wind in my hair
Warm smell of colitas
Rising up through the air
Up ahead in the distance
I saw a shimmering light
My head grew heavy, and my sight grew dim
I had to stop for the night
There she stood in the doorway
I heard the mission bell
And I was thinking to myself
This could be Heaven or this could be Hell
Then she lit up a candle
And she showed me the way
There were voices down the corridor
I thought I heard them say
Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place
Such a lovely place (background)
Such a lovely face
Plenty of room at the Hotel California
Any time of year
Any time of year (background)
You can find it here
You can find it here
Her mind is Tiffany twisted
She's got the Mercedes bends
She's got a lot of pretty, pretty boys
That she calls friends
How they dance in the courtyard
Sweet summer sweat
Some dance to remember
Some dance to forget
So I called up the Captain
Please bring me my wine
He said
We haven't had that spirit here since 1969
And still those voices are calling from far away
Wake you up in the middle of the night
Just to hear them say
Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely Place
Such a lovely Place (background)
Such a lovely face
They're livin' it up at the Hotel California
What a nice surprise
What a nice surprise (background)
Bring your alibies
Mirrors on the ceiling
Pink champagne on ice
And she said
We are all just prisoners here
Of our own device
And in the master's chambers
They gathered for the feast
They stab it with their steely knives
But they just can't kill the beast
Last thing I remember
I was running for the door
I had to find the passage back to the place I was before
Relax said the nightman
We are programed to recieve
You can check out any time you like
But you can never leave
this song was always playing when i was growing up, it reminds me of being a kid and of warm summer evenings in my garden drinking lemonade  |

This is a song by Cursive called Driftwood: A Fairytale
I just like it because it seems to be talking about hollow relationships where both parties know there is nothing behind it really, but they're in denial about it until one of them actually realizes it and has to get out. Very lonely through and through. But it's cool because it's all about Pinocchio!
[Spoken:]
He swam steadily for most of the day.
Suddenly he found himself approaching an enormous floating cavern.
Could it be an island?
Pinocchio looked closer and he saw two huge rows of sharp,
yellow teeth and he realized his mistake.
So he would sulk and drink and mope
and cross his arms and hope to die.
And then a fairy came one night
to bring this sorry boy to life.
She pulled some strings
and spun him about.
That boy sprang up
and began to shout,
"My arms, my legs, my heart, my face they're alive!"
And she would cry, "Liar, liar!
What have I done?
You're no lover, and I'm no fighter."
(The story goes on)
So he would buy her things and kiss her hair
to show he was for real.
And she would take those gifts and kisses
though just stringing him along.
She knew about those wooden boys-
it's an empty love to fill the void.
"Pinocchio! Oh boy, how your nose has grown!"
So he would cry, "Liar, liar!
I'll prove it to you!"
But then it grew
He had grown tired of her
So it was true
He left her apartment
And he walked all night long
'til he was stopped by the shore of the ocean.
But still he walked on, amongst the whales
and the waves, and screamed
"Liar, liar!"
And his wooden body floated away.
He just drifted away.
And now I wonder how i was made...
my arms, my legs, my heart, my face,
my name is Driftwood. |

Birds and Boats by Gregory and the Hawk.
If you be my star
I'll be your sky
you can hide underneath me and come out at night
when I turn jet black and you show off your light
I live to let you shine
I live to let you shine
but you can skyrocket away from me
and never come back if you find another galaxy
far from here with more room to fly
just leave me your stardust to remember you by
if you be my boat
I'll be your sea
a depth of pure blue just to probe curiosity
ebbing and flowing and pushed by a breeze
I live to make you free
I live to make you free
but you can set sail to the west if you want to
and past the horizon till I can't even see you
far from here where the beaches are wide
just leave me your wake to remember you by
if you be my star
I'll be your sky
you can hide underneath me and come out at night
when I turn jet black and you show off your light
I live to let you shine
I live to let you shine
but you can skyrocket away from me
and never come back if you find another galaxy
far from here with more room to fly
just leave me your stardust to remember you by
stardust to remember you by

This song’s so epic it’s awesome. It’s basically a fantasy song, about a battle, in addition to good lyrics the vocals are amazing. They’re my favourite lyrics because they’re so refreshing and never get old.
Manowar – The Power of Thy Sword
Lord of battle I pray on bended knee conquest by the rising sun
I'll wait for thy command with flame and blood at hand
glory and a broken sword.
I'm the master of the world I have no fear of man or beast
Born inside the soul of the world
Riding hard breaking bone with steel and stone
Eternal might I was born to wield.
Let us drink to the battles we've lived and we've fought
Celebrate the pain and havoc we have wrought
Great heroes charge into the fight
From the north to the south in the black of night
The clash of honor calls to stand when others fall
Gods of war feel the power of my sword
Drink to the battles we've lived and we've fought
Celebrate the pain and havoc we have wrought
Great heroes charge into the fight
From the north to the south in the black of night
Fierce is my blade fierce is my hate born to die in battle
I laugh at my fate
Now pay in blood when your blood has been spilled
You're never forgiven death is fulfilled !
The clash of honor calls to stand when others fall
Gods of war feel the power of my sword
The clash of honor calls
I will stand when others fall
Open magic doors
The will know the power of my sword
There is blood in my hands there is blood in my eyes
With blood in my voice I scream as you die
Thirsting for vengeance and mounds of the slain
Shaking the forest onto the plain
Fierce is my blade fierce is my hate born to die in battle
I laugh at my fate
Now pay in blood when your blood has been spilled
You're never forgiven death is fulfilled !
The clash of honor calls to stand when others fall
Gods of war feel the power of my sword |

Cerulean sky over dessert fields and sand veils
And underneath a lioness is stalking narrowing rings
Feel her coming near, she smells the blood, her prey is near
So see her, hear her, feel her, be her
The lioness is hunting us
So beautiful and dangerous
Her embrace is murderous
Beware of the lioness
Do you feel her gentle touch
Her sweet caress hurts just as much
So take care, take care of her
The lioness will win
The lioness is hunting us
So beautiful and dangerous
Her embrace is murderous
Beware of the lioness
So close you hear her purring
So close she smells your fear
Not close enough to lose yourself
Beware - the lioness is near
The lioness is hunting us
So beautiful and dangerous
Her embrace is murderous
Beware of the lioness
The Lioness - Xandria. |

I like it for several reasons. It's very soothing. Jazzy in sound. It speaks in French about the admiration of a Queen named Makeda.
Makeda - Les Nubians
Quote:
On veut nous faire croire à des mythes perdus
Des passages de l'histoire falsifiès et revus
De Ramsès à Mandela, que de vérités tues
En ignorant le départ, on erre sans but
Makeda était reine, belle et puissante
Salomon rêvait de sa peau noire
Je chante pour raviver les mémoires
Exhumer les connaissances
Que la spirale du temps efface
La reine de Saba vit en moi
Makeda vit en moi.
Ravivons nos mémoires
Il faut changer l'histoire
Elle part à la dÈrive
A la dérive des mots….Non
Le savoir et la sagesse sont à portée de main
écoute et observe
Makeda était reine, belle et puissante
Salomon rêvait de sa peau noire
Je chante pour raviver les mémoires
Exhumer les connaissances
Que la spirale du temps efface
La reine de Saba vit en moi
Makeda vit en moi.
Mon peuple danse et chante
Il exalte sa joie
Loin de l'ignorance
Il démontre sa foi
Riches d'hommes et de valeurs
Nous réparons les erreurs
Fils et filles vous et moi
Prêts au combat
Makeda était reine, belle et puissante
Salomon rêvait de sa peau noire
Je chante pour raviver les mémoires
Exhumer les connaissances
Que la spirale du temps efface
La reine de Saba vit en moi
Makeda vit en moi.

the next song reminds me of being young too, only when i got a little older and dabbled with drugs did i have any idea what they meant:
I Am The Walrus
I am he as you are he as you are me and we are all together
See how they run like pigs from a gun
see how they fly
I'm crying
Sitting on a cornflake
Waiting for the van to come
Corporation T-shirt, stupid bloody Tuesday
Man you've been a naughty boy
you let your face grow long
I am the eggman
they are the eggmen
I am the walrus
Goo goo g' joob
Mr. city policeman sitting
pretty little policemen in a row
See how they fly like Lucy in the sky
See how they run
I'm crying
I'm crying, I'm crying
Yellow matter custard
Dripping from a dead dog's eye
Crabalocker fishwife
pornographic priestess
Boy, you've been a naughty girl
you let your knickers down
I am the eggman
They are the eggmen
I am the walrus
Goo goo g' joob
Sitting in an English garden
waiting for the sun
If the sun don't come you get a tan
from standing in the English rain
I am the eggman
They are the eggmen
I am the walrus
Goo goo g' joob
Goo goo g' joob
Expert, texpert choking smokers
don't you think the joker laughs at you
See how they smile like pigs in a sty
See how they snide
I'm crying
Semolina pilchard
climbing up the Eiffel tower
Elementary penguin singing Hare Krishna
Man, you should have seen them kicking
Edgar Allan Poe
I am the eggman
They are the eggmen
I am the walrus
Goo goo g' joob
Goo goo g' joob
Goo goo g' goo
goo goo g' joob goo
juba juba juba
juba juba juba
juba juba juba juba
juba juba
moral: mind expanding drugs were good enough for The Beatles, therefore they're good enough for you. |

Finding Myself by Smile Empty Soul. I just really love this song, and it really reminds me of certain points in my life and how I felt.
I don't care anymore if I let you down
I believe that I need to be free
I'm so used to my life with you around
I don't know anymore....the real me
And i thought i found my self today
And I thought that I had control
All the change in my life just fell away
For a moment I didn't need you
All these tears that I've cried
You must be tired of taking care of me but
Its what you do best and
I'm a liar cause really its what I need
And I thought that I found myself today
And I thought that I had control
All the change in my life just fell away
For a moment I didn't need you
Someone like you
Someone like me
Maybe its change that set you free
Free....
And I thought that I found myself today
And I thought that I had control
All the change in my life just fell away
For a moment I didn't need you
And I thought that I found myself today
And I thought that I had control
All the change in my life just fell away
For a moment I didn't need you |
