one of my faviortes is " linkin park " "in the end"

[Keiji offline]

Same. But IMO Somewhere I Belong is their best song

(and this topic looks kinda pointless, but oh well)

Defying Gravity, from the Musical Wicked. You think I"m crazy? Read the lyrics. Best self-empowerment song ever written.

Something has changed within me
Something is not the same
I'm through with playing by the rules
Of someone else's game
Too late for second-guessing
Too late to go back to sleep
It's time to trust my instincts
Close my eyes and leap

It's time to try
Defying gravity
I think I'll try
Defying gravity
And you can't pull me down...

Glinda:
(spoken)Can't I make you understand, you're having delusions of grandeur...?

Elphaba:
I'm through accepting limits
'Coz someone says they're so
Some things I cannot change
But 'till I try, I'll never know
Too long I've been afraid of
Losing love - I guess I have lost
Well, if that's love
It comes at much too high a cost

I'd sooner buy
Defying gravity
Kiss me goodbye
I'm defying gravity
And you can't pull me down...

Elphaba:
So if you care to find me
Look to the western sky
As someone told me lately -
Ev'ryone deserves the chance to fly
And if I'm flying solo
At least I'm flying free
To those who'd ground me
Take a message back from me -

Tell them how I
Am defying gravity!
I'm flying high
Defying gravity!
And soon I'll match them in renown
And nobody in all of Oz
No wizard that there is or was
Is ever gonna bring me down!

Their very good, however their stuff is too overhyped for my tasted.

Monster Magnet's "Unbroken" > ALL

[Metrion offline]

"Skin (Sara Beth)" by Rascal Flatts... My best friend has cancer and this song makes us both cry. It's one of the best country ballads ever, in my opinion.

[oddson offline]

nerely all linkin park songs have meanings

[Delritho offline]

Skindred's Nobody, I just loe that song for some reason.

[Skysong offline]

If I'm feeling very Gothy, "Forget It" by Breaking Benjamin means a lot to me ("It's a crime You let it happen to me I don't mind I love it Easy to please Never mind Forget it Just memories On a page inside a spiral notebook").

On an ordinary day, though, "Extraordinary Machine" by Fiona Apple is my thing.

"Scatman" by Scatman John.

It tells people to overcome their challenges, as in what Scatman John did. He used his disability of studdering to make music.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uo1w2Y4yj-8

Scatting by Scatman John)
I'm the Scatman
(Scatting by Scatman John)
I'm the Scatman
(Scatting by Scatman John)

Everybody stutters one way or the other
So check out my message to you.
As a matter of fact don't let nothin' hold you back.
If the Scatman can do it so can you.

Everybody's sayin' that the Scatman stutters
But doesn't ever stutter when he sings.
But what you don't know I'm gonna tell you right now
That the stutter and the scat is the same thing.
Yo I'm the Scatman.

Where's the Scatman? I'm the Scatman.

Why should we be pleasin' all the politician heathens
Who would try to change the seasons if the could?
The state of the condition insults my intuitions
And it only makes me crazy and my heart like wood.

Everybody stutters one way or the other
So check out my message to you.
As a matter of fact don't let nothin' hold you back.
If the Scatman can do it brother so can you.
I'm the Scatman.

I hear you all ask 'bout the meaning of scat.
Well I'm the professor and all I can tell you is
While you're still sleepin' the saints are still weepin' cause
Things you call dead haven't yet had the chance to be born.
I'm the Scatman.

(Scatting by Scatman John)
I'm the Scatman....repeat after me
It's a scoobie oobie doobie scoobie doobie melody
I'm the Scatman....repeat after me
It's a scoobie oobie doobie scoobie doobie melody

Check out "Long Way To Go" by Gwen Stefani. It's fantastic.

Or "Stupid Girls" by Pink. I've never been a Pink fan, but this song makes me consider the possibilities. Plus, the video's hilarious.

Hooray for female pop singers!

Wakin' up, I watch another sun go down
Another day spent underground
In my world of pills
And I was thinkin' how the world should have cried
On the day Jack Kirby died
I wonder if I'm ill
I'll never trust myself again
But I don't care
Just set that plastic soul on fire
And watch it melt

Life is good, a rocket sled utopia
A self imposed myopia
You gotta love this pace
Life is fast, a million winners everyday
You tell me, is this work or play
I'm never really sure
I'll never trust myself again
But I don't care
Well just set that plastic soul on fire
And watch it melt

Well I'm alive, now you watch me go
A tickle inside my brain
Where it comes from I don't know
But I'm laughin' in the flames
It's just the look in your eyes
I feel like I can fly
And then sometimes I dig it so much, I could die

I'll never make no mortal place
'Cause I don't care
Just set that plastic world on fire
And watch it melt

Well I'm alive, now you watch me go
A tickle inside my brain
Where it comes from I don't know
But I'm laughin' in the flames
It's just the look in your eyes
I feel like I can fly
And then sometimes I dig it so much, I could die

"Melt" - Monster Magnet

Far Away, by NickelBack. The bold bits are...what seems to be echoing in my own mind right now...

This time, This place
Misused, Mistakes
Too long, Too late
Who was I to make you wait
Just one chance
Just one breath
Just in case there’s just one left
‘Cause you know,
you know, you know

That I love you
I have loved you all along
And I miss you
Been far away for far too long
I keep dreaming you’ll be with me
and you’ll never go
Stop breathing if
I don’t see you anymore

On my knees, I’ll ask
Last chance for one last dance
‘Cause with you, I’d withstand
All of hell to hold your hand
I’d give it all
I’d give for us
Give anything but I won’t give up‘Cause you know,
you know, you know

That I love you
I have loved you all along
And I miss you
Been far away for far too long
I keep dreaming you’ll be with me
and you’ll never go
Stop breathing if
I don’t see you anymore

So far away
Been far away for far too long
So far away
Been far away for far too long
But you know, you know, you know

I wanted
I wanted you to stay
‘Cause I needed
I need to hear you say
That I love you
I have loved you all along
And I forgive you
For being away for far too long
So keep breathing
‘Cause I’m not leaving
Hold on to me and
never let me go

Dreams by The Cranberries

Oh my life is changing everyday
Every possible way
Though my dreams, it’s never quite as it seems
Never quite as it seems

I know I felt like this before
But now I’m feeling it even more
Because it came from you

Then I open up and see
The person fumbling here is me
A different way to be

I want more, impossible to ignore
Impossible to ignore
They’ll come true, impossible not to do
Impossible not to do

Now I tell you openly
You have my heart so don’t hurt me
For what I couldn’t find

Talk to me amazing mind
So understanding and so kind
You’re everything to me

Oh my life is changing everyday
Every possible way
Though my dreams, it’s never quite as it seems
’cause you’re a dream to me
Dream to me
