SONGS THAT REALLY HIT YOU HARD
Place here songs that really hit you hard, emotionally.
This song reminds me of my dad who passed away last year because of cancer. The lyrics and melody are just awesome. This song also uses a type of poetry called "aesthetic realism". If you have ever loved someone who has died of a long, tragic death, like cancer, then you know "love is watching someone die".
WHAT SARAH SAID
Death Cab for Cutie
And it came to me then that every plan
Is a tiny prayer to father time
As I stared at my shoes in the ICU
That reeked of piss and 409
And I rationed my breaths as I said to myself
That I’ve already taken too much today
As each descending peak on the LCD
Took you a little farther away from me
Away from me
Amongst the vending machines and year-old magazines
In a place where we only say goodbye
It stung like a violent wind that our memories depend
On a faulty camera in our minds
And I knew that you were a truth I would rather lose
Than to have never lain beside at all
And I looked around at all the eyes on the ground
As the TV entertained itself
‘Cause there’s no comfort in the waiting room
Just nervous pacers bracing for bad news
And then the nurse comes ‘round and everyone lift their heads
But I’m thinking of what Sarah said
That love is watching someone die
So who’s gonna watch you die? So who's gonna watch you die?

Pull the top down, use your knees to drive
I'll make it worth your while, just let me taste the sky
You pressed your mouth on mine
And fed me a star then said
We never can truly know who we are
Know who we are
With the light out and the night inside
The broken radio was playing suicide
I felt myself falling
I confessed to you, I saw a body
You said you'd seen a few
This night has only just begun
If there's discretion that
You've not abandoned now's the time
We'll burn to best the morning's sun
Go grab your bag, I'll bring the gun, the gun
Keep the top down, use your knees to drive
I'll hide these words, they're only yours to find
You pressed your mouth on mine
And said, they'd call us stars
Then said we never can truly know who we are
Everything was burning bright
Everyone was frightened
You said, stay strong
Everybody knowing that what
We'd invited still remains when we're gone

here's a song that described my life for a while
ALL I WANTED by Paramore
Verse 1:
Think of me when you're out
When you're out there
I'll beg you nice from my knees
And when the world treats you way too fairly
Well it's a shame I'm a dream
All I wanted was you
All I wanted was you
Verse 2:
I think I'll pace my apartment a few times
And fall asleep on the couch
And wake up early, to black and white re-runs
That escape from my mouth, oh-oh oh-oh
Chorus:
All I wanted was you
All I wanted was you
All I wanted was you
All I wanted was you
Verse 3:I could follow you to the beginning
Just to relive the start
Maybe then we'd remember to slow down
At all of our favorite parts
All I wanted was you
All I wanted was you
All I wanted was you
All I wanted was you
All I wanted was you
[i love the music and the feel it has.]

The want me to break
They want me to crumble
For their own selfish sake
They'll strike me with their
Words. They'll kill me with
Their hate.They'll beat me

Seven tears falling
Falling endless
Seven tears dripping
Dripping down the faces
Seven tears
Marked by agony
They weep

Falling off their terrified faces
Seven tears running
Running down their cheeks

LIFE'S A MIRAGE
As I move around
In a solitary confinement
Life’s desire seems to confront me.
I move towards a newer destination
Success still seems to elude me.
Moving on in the desert of life
I visualise hopes of many oases
But as I move much c…
The very thing that makes me human seems to make me weak,
or is it a strength so hidden and buried deep that it is frequently mistaken for weak.
I've never learned how to superficially connect with people.
I always want to explore who you are deeper…
