For me, it has got to be Nine Inch Nails' "Hurt"

I hurt myself today
to see if I still feel
I focus on the pain
the only thing that's real
the needle tears a hole
the old familiar sting
try to kill it all away
but I remember everything

what have I become?
my sweetest friend
everyone I know
goes away in the end

you could have it all
my empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt

I wear my crown of shit
on my liar's chair
full of broken thoughts
I cannot repair
beneath the stain of time
the feeling disappears
you are someone else
I am still right here

what have I become?
my sweetest friend
everyone I know
goes away in the end

you could have it all
my empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt

if I could start again
a million miles away
I would keep myself
I would find a way

Nothing else matters - Metallica.

Forever trust in who we are
And nothing else matters

All these words I don't just say
And nothing else matters

Open mind for a different view
And nothing else matters

yeah metallica!

 

[rengaw]

Thrice - Cold cash and colder hearts

"We've learned money matters most
So we keep our cards held close
Here at the top of the world

We hold our own by keeping our hearts cold
And we've learned what matters most
So we keep our hearts cold"

Sufjan Stevens - Casimir Pulaski Day

"and He takes, and He takes, and He takes..."

the last line gets me everytime. Writing about coping with cancer and his subtle rage against faith.

Elliott Smith - Needle in the Haystack.

"Down downstairs
To the man
He's going to make it all ok

I can't beat myself
I can't beat myself
And I don't want to talk

I'm taking the cure
So I can be quiet
Whenever I want

So leave me alone
You ought to be proud
That I'm getting good marks"

Great lyrics from simple words. The man is a genius. RIP

Feist's Mushaboom also makes me happy everytime I feel down or out.

"Helping the kids out of their coats
But wait the babies haven't been born oh
Unpacking the bags and setting up
And planting lilacs and buttercups oh

But in the meantime we've got it hard
Second floor living without a yard
It may be years until the day
My dreams will match up with my pay"

"B-U-K-K-A-K-E, yeah!"

Astroninja, The Bukakke Udon Song

visa..dont think dirty ah....naughty naughty.

 

[Zeebra]

i'll post an excerpt of a song from interpol. quite nonsensical. but still great.

who do you that is there
i came to fight, i am in the air
i always fall in these fights i know why
and from the birth-strains of life i go right
controlling the age it takes a toll on my brain
who do you think that is there?

i only call them when i know i dont see them.

ASG - Matadors Of The Heart

Wait!
The passion is ending.
Lets fall together and it will fall apart.
And now the dead-end to finding the ropes round our necks.
So how far can we stretch the fighting.
Face made of death on our graves.
So trace the failings of kills for thrills

Less estimation, the passion filled, the desperate, the wasting away.
To hide to die, built to fill, but not to break.

So climb the steps of the deadlines.
They came together and they'll come apart.
Like smiles, backwards for beatings, these days end tonight.
The nights into days, were grazing.
The fields of dead memories that should be.
So trace the failings of kills for thrills

Less estimation, the passion filled, the desperate, the wasting away.
To hide to die, built to fill, but not to break.

I think ive lost my mind tonight.
So i think I'll blow your mind, this time

The passion filled, the desperate, the wasting away.
To hide to die, built to fill, but not to break.

ASG- Horsewhipper

Teach us not to play fair,
We are trapped in the name of this game,
and the time rolls on, you didn't have to stay so long

Picture the holes in your head,
We made war of your worlds taking place,
and the skies glow on, the mirror has two-faced us all

Time won't drag too long.
Climb to drag you down.
Time to hang you dry.

Rise Against - Ready To Fall

Hold on slow down
Again from the top now and tell me everything.
I know I`ve been gone for
What seems like forever
But I`m here now waiting
To convince you that I`m not
A ghost or a stranger
But closer than you think
She said just go on to what you
Pretend is your life but
Please don`t die on me

Wings won`t take me
Heights don`t phase me
So take a step
But don`t look down, take a step

Now I`m standing on a rooftop ready to fall (ready to fall)
I think I'm at the edge now but I could be wrong
I'm standing on a rooftop ready to fall

Perpetual motion the image wont focus
A blur is all that's seen
But here in this moment like the eye of the storm
It all came clear to me
I found a shoulder to lean on
An infallible reason to live all by itself
I took one last look from the heights that I once loved
And then I ran like hell

Wings won't take me
Heights don't phase me
So take a step
But don't look down take a step

Now I'm standing on a rooftop ready to fall (ready to fall)
I think I'm at the edge now but I could be wrong
I'm standing on a rooftop ready to fall

I count the times that Ive been sorry (I know I know)
Now my compassion slowly drowns (I know I know)
If there's a time these walls could guard you (I know I know)
Then let that time be right now

Now I'm standing on a rooftop
Now I'm standing on a rooftop ready to fall (ready to fall)
I'm standing on a rooftop ready to fall
I think I'm at the edge now but I could be wrong
I'm standing on a rooftop ready to fall
Now I'm standing on a rooftop(ready to fall)
Now I'm standing on a rooftop(ready to fall)
Now I'm standing on a rooftop(ready to fall)
Now I'm standing on a rooftop ready to fall

Every action has a reaction
We've got one planet
One chance

Skid Row - I Remember You

Woke up to the sound of pouring rain
The wind would whisper and Id think of you
And all the tears you cried, that called my name
And when you needed me I came through

I paint a picture of the days gone by
When love went blind and you would make me see
Id stare a lifetime into your eyes
So that I knew you were there for me
Time after time you were there for me

Remember yesterday - walking hand in hand
Love letters in the sand - I remember you
Through the sleepless nights and every endless day
Id wanna hear you say - I remember you

We spend the summer with the top rolled down
Wished ever after would be like this
You said I love you babe, without a sound
I said Id give my life for just one kiss
Id live for your smile and die for your kiss

Remember yesterday - walking hand in hand
Love letters in the sand - I remember you
Through the sleepless nights and every endless day
Id wanna hear you say - I remember you

Weve had our share of hard times
But thats the price we paid
And through it all we kept the promise that we made
I swear youll never be lonely

Woke up to the sound of pouring rain
Washed away a dream of you
But nothing else could ever take you away
cause youll always be my dream come true
Oh my darling, I love you

Remember yesterday - walking hand in hand
Love letters in the sand - I remember you
Through the sleepless nights and every endless day
Id wanna hear you say - I remember you

Remember yesterday - walking hand in hand
Love letters in the sand - I remember you
Through the sleepless nights and every endless day
Id wanna hear you say - I remember you

A smidgen of my favourite local pieces...

West Grand Boulevard - Flights Of Fancy

Sit with me, come and play
I need you, so near
Stay awhile, for a day
Maybe two, have no fear

What I am, is not all good
is not all bad, it's ok
Time has come, wish we could
Get it back
It's too late

And I miss you the most.
And I miss you the most.

And I miss you the most.
And I miss you the most.

Sing to me, once again
In your room, like old days
Speak to me, empty pants
and how you do, and always

Bring me back, little smiles
Funny ways, you speak to me
Bring me back, on your wild
whimsical fancies

And I miss you the most.
And I miss you the most.

And I miss you the most.
And I miss you the most.

The Fire Fight - Fires At Night

Fires will break out
Come and save me now, alright

Fires will break out
Come and save me now, alright

When the truth is a lie
In a world that is brightly lighted by satellites
And the darkness that is the sky

When the fact of the matter is read out in a letter
On a TV screen late at night
With the actors and their disguise

And I’m trying to back away
But you wouldn’t just let me be
So leave me alone

Set a fire into the night
For tomorrow we’ll start a fight
To be, to be…

For the hope that burns in our eyes
Oh in our eyes

For the fires at night
Oh the fires at night

In the dead of the night
What a terrible silence
Of the voices within our minds
Are we helpless and tired of trying

So help me oh heaven
Tear down all the walls...
Keep me safe with my own device

And I’m trying to back away
But you wouldn’t just let me be
So leave me alone

Set a fire into the night
For tomorrow we’ll start a fight
To be, to be…

For the hope that burns in our eyes
Oh in our eyes

For the fires at night
Oh the fires at night

[niteblade]

artist in the ambulance

late night, brakes lock, hear the tires squeal
red light, can't stop so I spin the wheel
my world goes black before I feel an angel lift me up
and I open bloodshot eyes into fluorescent white
they flip the siren, hit the lights, close the doors and I am gone

now I lay here owing my life to a stranger
and I realize that empty words are not enough
I'm left here with the question of just
what have I to show except the promises I never kept?
I lie here shaking on this bed, under the weight of my regrets

[Chorus:]
I hope that I will never let you down
I know that this can be more than just flashing lights and sound

look around and you'll see that at times it feels like no one really cares
it gets me down but I'm still gonna try to do what's right, I know that there's
a difference between sleight of hand, and giving everything you have
there's a line drawn in the sand, I'm working up the will to cross it and

[Chorus]

rhetoric can't raise the dead
I'm sick of always talking when there's no change
rhetoric can't raise the dead
I'm sick of empty words, let's lead and not follow

late night, brakes lock, hear the tires squeal
red light, can't stop so I spin the wheel
my world goes black before I feel an angel steal me from the
greedy jaws of death and chance, and pull me in with steady hands
they've given me a second chance, the artist in the ambulance

[Chorus]

can we pick you off the ground, more than flashing lights and sound
