Thrice - Stare at the Sun I sit here clutching useless lists, keys for doors that don't exist I crack my teeth on pearls I tear into the history Show me what it means to me in this world Yeah, in this world 'Cause I am due for a miracle I'm waiting for a sign I'll stare straight into the sun And I won't close my eyes Till I understand or go blind I see the parts but not the whole I study saints and scholars both No perfect plan unfurls Do I trust my heart or just my mind Why is truth so hard to find in this world Yeah in this world 'Cause I am due for a miracle I'm waiting for a sign I'll stare straight into the sun And I won't close my eyes Till I understand or go blind (till I understand or go blind) I know that there's a point I've missed A shrine or stone I haven't kissed A scar that never graced my wrist A mirror that hasn't met my fist But I can't help feeling like I'm Due for a miracle I'm waiting for a sign (waiting for a sign) I'll stare straight into the sun And I won't close my eyes (and I won't close my eyes) Due for a miracle I'm waiting for a sign I'll stare straight into the sun And I won't close my eyes Meatloaf - Paradise by the Dashboard Light 1.

Jeez a stoner thread on music and no Pink Floyd! What's wrong with us lol. Echoes Overhead the albatross hangs motionless upon the air And deep beneath the rolling waves In labyrinths of coral caves The echo of a distant time Comes willowing across the sand And everything is green and submarine. And no-one called us to the land And no-one knows the wheres or whys But something stirs and something tries And starts to climb towards the light Strangers passing in the street By chance two separate glances meet And I am you and what I see is me And do I take you by the hand And lead you through the land And help me understand the best I can And no-one calls us to move on And no-one forces down our eyes And no-one speaks and no-one tries And no-one flies around the sun Cloudless everyday you fall upon my waking eyes inciting and inviting me to rise And through the window in the wall Come streaming in on sunlight wings A million bright ambassadors of morning And no-one sings me lullabies And no-one makes me close my eyes And so I throw the windows wide And call to you across the sky No matter how deep and dark Roger waters' lyrics get I like that they usually end positive.
Atheist - Mother Man, pretty much describes exactly the way i feel about human life on earth "You say there's freedom Within our nature Well I don't think you understand Mother Earth has fallen to Mother Man The Air, the Sea, the Grass, the Trees, The nemesis is the major, Fearless leader Mother Man. Come on take a look At what's become Of the existence that leads Or so we think That's always a popular phrase It suits the laws written By dear Mother Man, Those heavy hands. What man creates man will surely destroy The rule of thumb In the mouths of little boys Earth spins delight We kill everything in sight To serve the needs And all purple skies will bleed And a bird flies weak Against polluted skies Before it dies And nature becomes illegal According to rules Made by fools Sift through the information Everlasting hesitation To reveal all knowing vices All the compomising prices Untouched by the law binders Setting standards to remind us That the ink has dried Behind the goal We wish to achieve is gone"
Oh, where have you been, my blue-eyed son? And where have you been, my darling young one? I've stumbled on the side of twelve misty mountains, I've walked and I've crawled on six crooked highways, I've stepped in the middle of seven sad forests, I've been out in front of a dozen dead oceans, I've been ten thousand miles in the mouth of a graveyard, And it's a hard, and it's a hard, it's a hard, and it's a hard, And it's a hard rain's a-gonna fall. Oh, what did you see, my blue-eyed son? And what did you see, my darling young one? I saw a newborn baby with wild wolves all around it, I saw a highway of diamonds with nobody on it, I saw a black branch with blood that kept drippin', I saw a room full of men with their hammers a-bleedin', I saw a white ladder all covered with water, I saw ten thousand talkers whose tongues were all broken, I saw guns and sharp swords in the hands of young children, And it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, and it's a hard, It's a hard rain's a-gonna fall. Oh, what did you hear, my blue-eyed son? And what did you hear, my darling young one? I heard the sound of a thunder that roared out a warnin', Heard the roar of a wave that could drown the whole world, I heard one hundred drummers whose hands were a-blazin', I heard ten thousand whisperin' and nobody listenin', I heard one person starve, I heard many people laughin', Heard the song of a poet who died in the gutter, I heard the sound of a clown who cried in the alley, And it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, It's a hard rain's a-gonna fall. Oh, what did you meet, my blue-eyed son? And who did you meet, my darling young one? I met a young child beside a dead pony, I met a white man who walked a black dog, I met a young woman whose body was burning, I met a young girl, she gave me a rainbow, I met one man who was wounded in love, I met another man who was woundedin hatred, And it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, It's a hard rain's a-gonna fall. And what'll you do now, my blue-eyed son? And what'll you do now, my darling young one? I'm a-goin' back out 'fore the rain starts a-fallin', I'll walk to the depths of the deepest dark forest, Where the people are many and their hands are all empty, Where the pellets of poison are flooding their waters, Where the home in the valley meets the damp dirty prison, And the executioner's face is always well hidden, Where hunger is ugly, where the souls are forgotten, Where black is the color, where none is the number, And I'll tell it and speak itand think it and breathe it, And reflect from the mountain so all souls can see it, And I'll stand on the ocean until I start sinkin', But I'll know my song well before I start singin', And it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, and it's a hard, It's a hard rain's a-gonna fall.
^^ good call. Another great dylan song - Don't think twice it's alright It ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe It don't matter, anyhow An' it ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe If you don't know by now When your rooster crows at the break of dawn Look out your window and I'll be gone You're the reason I'm trav'lin' on Don't think twice, it's all right It ain't no use in turnin' on your light, babe That light I never knowed An' it ain't no use in turnin' on your light, babe I'm on the dark side of the road Still I wish there was somethin' you would do or say To try and make me change my mind and stay We never did too much talkin' anyway So don't think twice, it's all right It ain't no use in callin' out my name, gal Like you never did before It ain't no use in callin' out my name, gal I can't hear you any more I'm a-thinkin' and a-wond'rin' all the way down the road I once loved a woman, a child I'm told I give her my heart but she wanted my soul But don't think twice, it's all right I'm walkin' down that long, lonesome road, babe Where I'm bound, I can't tell But goodbye's too good a word, gal So I'll just say fare thee well I ain't sayin' you treated me unkind You could have done better but I don't mind You just kinda wasted my precious time But don't think twice, it's all right http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GtkVGClqrT4

But if you think that Jesus Christ is coming Honey, you've got another thing coming If he ever finds out who's hijacked his name He'll cut out his heart and turn in his grave Islam is rising The Christians mobilising The world is on it's elbows and knees It's forgotten the message And worships the creeds "It's War" she cried "It's War" she cried "This is War!" Drop your possessions All you simple folk You will fight them on the beaches in your underclothes You will thank the good lord For raising the Union Jack You'll watch the ships sail out of harbour And the bodies come floating back Watch the ships sail out of harbour And the bodies come floating back If the real Jesus Christ were to stand up today He'd be gunned down cold by the C.I.A. Oh, the lights that now burn brightest Behind stained glass Will cast the darkest shadows Upon the human heart But God didn't build himself that throne God doesn't live in Israel or Rome God doesn't belong to the Yankee dollar God doesn't plant the bombs for Hezbollah God doesn't even go to church And God won't send us down to Allah to burn God will remind us what we already know That the human race is about to reap what it's sown Islam is rising The Christians mobilising The world is on it's elbows and knees It's forgotten the message And worships the creeds The world is on it's elbows and knees It's forgotten the message And worships the creeds Armageddon days are here again Armageddon days are here again Armageddon days are here again Armageddon Days Are HERE!!!
You Are the Everything - R.E.M. Sometimes I feel like I can't even sing I'm very scared for this world, I'm very scared for me Eviscerate your memory Here's a scene, you're in the back seat laying down The windows wrap around To sound of the travel and the engine All you hear is time stand still in travel And feel such peace and absolute The stillness still that doesn't end but slowly drifts into sleep The stars are the greatest thing you've ever seen And they're there for you For you alone, you are the everything I think about this world a lot and I cry And I've seen the films and the eyes But I'm in this kitchen Everything is beautiful and she is so beautiful She is so young and old I look at her and I see the beauty of the light of music The voices talking somewhere in the house Late spring and you're drifting off to sleep With your teeth in your mouth You are here with me, you are here with me You have been here and you are everything Sometimes I feel like I can't even sing I'm very scared for this world, I'm very scared for me Eviscerate your memory Here's a scene, you're in the back seat laying down The windows wrap around To sound of the travel and the engine All you hear is time stand still in travel And feel such peace and absolute The stillness still that doesn't end but slowly drifts into sleep The stars are the greatest thing you've ever seen And they're there for you For you alone, you are the everything
The most beautiful and saddest song I've ever heard: Nutshell from Alice in Chains. We chase misprinted lies We face the path of time And yet I fight And yet I fight This battle all alone No one to cry to No place to call home My gift of self is raped My privacy is raked And yet I find And yet I find Repeating in my head If I cant be my own Id feel better dead

Better than watching Geller bending silver spoons Better than witnessing newborn nebulas in bloom She who sees from up high smiles and surely sings Prospective pries her once weighty eyes and it gives you wings I haven't felt the way, I feel today In so long it's hard for me to specify I'm beginning to notice How much this feels like a waking limb Pins and needles, nice to know you Good-bye, Nice to Know You Deeper than the deepest Coustou would ever go Higher than the heights of what we often think we know Blessed she who clearly sees the wood for the trees To obtain a birds eye is to turn a blizzard to a breeze I haven't felt the way, I feel today In so long it's hard for me to specify I'm beginning to notice How much this feels like a waking limb Pins and needles, nice to know you Good-bye, Nice to Know You To know...You Could it be that it had been there all along I haven't felt the way, I feel today In so long it's hard for me to specify I'm beginning to notice How much this feels like a waking limb Pins and needles, nice to know you Good-bye, Nice to Know You To know...You
