I relate to this song so much. I really like when you can do that, like relate a song to something in your life. I think that its full of lots of good lines, like all of them, they all just make so much sense:

Everclear, Everything To Everyone

You put yourself in stupid places
Yes I think you know it's true
Situations where it's easy to look down on you
I think you like to be the victim
I think you like to be in pain
I think you make yourself a victim almost every single day
You do what you do
You say what you say
You try to be everything to everyone
You know all the right people
You play all the right games
You always try to be everything to everyone
Yeah you do it again
You always do it again
You say they taught you to read and write
Yeah they taught you how to count
I say they tought you how to buy and sell your own body by the pound
I think you like to be their simple toy
I think you love to play the clown
I think you are blind to the fact that the hand you hold is the hand that holds you down
Spin around and fall down
Do it again
You stumble and fall
Yeah why don't you ever learn
Spin around and fall down
Do it again
Come on now
Do that stupid dance for me
You do what you do
You say what you say
You try to be everything to everyone
You jump through the big hoop
You play all the right games
You try to be everything to everyone
Spin around and fall down
Do it again
You stumble and you fall
Yeah you do it again
Spin around and fall down
Do it again
You stumble and you fall

Is it okay if post some Dutch lyrics here?
They mean a lot to me.
It's about an aunt who passed away
and a while back one of my aunts had a cerebral haemorrhage, so this song was, well it helped me..

Brainpower ft. Henny Vrienten - Cathy

I.
Waar ging je leven verkeerd werd je vrede gepenetreerd? / Had iemand je wreed bezeerd of was je volledig verteerd / Door een heviger sfeer waar niemand van weet in de weer / met 'n vreselijk zeer of Kee, leed je geenéén keer? / Die vele keren voel ik je zwevende spirit / 't leven is niet eerlijk vergeet wat de meesten beweren / Kan dit niet even verteren "dan maar berusten" / omdat je anders levend wordt verteerd en zeker weten verleerd / om zelf te eren dat je eigen leven verschilt van al die zere / wonden die maar blijven schrijnen door andermans overlijden / Ik zal niet wijken - bezwijken? Dat zal dan nog moeten blijken / Die foto bij oma thuis zal ik voor altijd goed bekijken / Daar lijk je zo in je sas blijvende in je pas geen skeletten in de kast 't zit me nog dwars / De pijn van rouw is blijvend grauw je schijnt zo trouw als fijne vrouw / Van mij voor jou een rijm voor nou & altijd

Refrein (2 x):
Je bent diep in mijn hart / Voor Nou en Altijd / Grote zus tante Kee neefje hoort pluk de dag / Dope en knus lang tevree leven kort terug bij af

II.
Wanneer ik me in gedachtes verdiep hoe jij dan in de nacht sliep / Vast afwachtend en lief zoet lachend of met 'n vracht verdriet / Was je aan 't gapen lekker wanneer je slaap je laatste herder / werd 't vage sterker vraagtekens graven verder / Dit g??t verder zwaar heftig van kwaad tot erger / Hoe graag men ook 't antwoord op die vragen nou wil hebben / Knaagt sterk 't gevoel van traag verwerken / M'n ratio kraakt als kwaad personeel staakt 't effe / En even goed bekeken ploetert m'n wezen en oefen wreed m'n brainpezen / om dit gedoe levend voorgoed te facen / Hoe dan ook - moet ik sjesen bloedzwetend weet ik / Al zoekende beter hoe dit voor m'n moeders moet wezen / Dus Mamma dit is voor jou en je Mamma 't werk is onbegonnen / Wil niet vloeken op m 'n tong ligt toch die Godverdomme van Waarom he? / Verder dan stoere praat sinds waar ik over rap op deze plaat / weet ik waar het leven om draait

III.
Dit is voor iedereen die iemand mist niemand die gist / Hoe diep je verdriet dan ook is als die iemand er niet meer is / En hoe lief 't ook is als iemand je mist haalt 't je niet uit de diepe s**t / die er is omdat die peep er niet meer is / En voor ieder die op 'n begrafenis of crematie is / vragend pijnlijk verhalend als 'Je Moest Waarschijnlijk Gaan' ook is / Emotioneel in tranen is tot 't haast manisch is / Balend van hoe de dood tragisch haar eigen weg aan het banen is / Cathy, ik noem je zo gewoon als 'n vriendin, m'n lieve buur een toffe meid of lief kind / Grote zus tante Kee neefje hoort pluk de dag / Dope en knus lang tevree leven kort terug bij af

Voor Nou en Altijd / Voor Nou en Altijd

Refrein (2 x):
Je bent diep in mijn hart / Voor Nou en Altijd / Grote zus tante Kee neefje hoort pluk de dag / Dope en knus lang tevree leven kort terug bij af

Okay, here are some lyrics you can read! :)
I watched the movie Memento yesterday, in which I heard this song.

David Bowie - Something in the Air
Your coat and hat are gone
I really can't look at your little empty shelf
A ragged teddy bear
It feels like we never had a chance
Don't look me in the eye

We lay in each others arms
But the room is just an empty space
I guess we lived it out
Something in the air
We smiled too fast
then can't think of a thing to say

Lived with the best times
Left with the worst
I've danced with you too long
Nothing left to say

Let's take what we can
I know you hold your head up high
We've raced for the last time
A place of no return

And there's something in the air
Something in my eye
I've danced with you too long
Something in the air
Something in my eye

Abracadoo - I lose you
We can't avoid the clash
The big mistake
Now we're gona pay and pay
The sentence of our lives
Can't believe I'm asking you to go

We used what we could
To get the things we want
But we lost each other on the way
I guess you know I never wanted
anyone more than you

Lived all our best times
Left with the worst
I've danced with you to long
Say what you will

But there's something in the air
Raced for the last time
Well I know you hold your head up high
There's nothing we have to say
There's nothing in my eyes
But there's something in the air
Something in my eye
I've danced with you too long
There's something I have to say
There's something in the air
Something in my eye
I've danced with you too long

How dou you find Memento? It's one of my favourite movies!

'Missing' by Evanescence

Please, please forgive me
But I won't be home again
Maybe someday you'll have woke up
And barely concious you'll say to no one
Isn't something missing?

You won't cry for my absence I know
You forgot me long ago
Am I that unimportant?
Am I so insignificant?
Isn't something missing?
Isn't someone missing me?



'You Outta Know' by Alanis Morissette

And I'm here to remind you
Of the mess you left when you went away
It's not fair to deny me
Of the cross I bear that you gave to me
You, you, you outta know!

Cause the joke that you laid on the bed, that was me
And I'm not gonna fade as soon as you close your eyes
Ans you know it
And everytime I scratch my nails down someone else's back
I hope you feel it...well can you feel it??


And some non-english lyrics...

"Wofür man lebt", Die Toten Hosen

Ich bin gestern, als ich barfuß war
Auf einer Frage ausgerutscht
Die ich irgendwann einmal verloren hab
Und die schon länger da gelegen haben muss

Ich hab so lang nichts mehr von ihr gehört
Hab ganz vergessen, dass es sie noch
Sie sagte 'schön, mal wieder bei dir zu sein'
Und begann ein Selbstgespräch

Dass es kein Gestern und kein Morgen gibt
Weil's nicht mehr als ne Täuschung ist
Warum sich alles nur im Kreis bewegt
Und wofür man eigentlich lebt
Wofür man lebt


'Désenchantée' by Kate Ryan

Nager dans les eaux troubles
Des lendemains
Attendre ici la fin
Flotter dans l'air trop lourd
Du presque rien
A qui tendre la main

Si je dois tomber de haut
Que ma chute soit lente
Je n'ai trouvé de repos
Que dans l'indifférence
Pourtant, je voudrais retrouver l'innocence
Mais rien n'a de sens, et rien ne va

Tout est chaos
A côté
Tous mes idéaux : des mots abimés...
Je cherche une âme, qui
Pourra m'aider
Je suis
D'une géneration désenchantée
Désenchantée

Qui pourrait m'empêcher
De tout entendre
Quand la raison s'effondre
A quel sein se vouer
Qui peut prétendre
Nous bercer dans son ventre

Si la mort est un mystère
La vie n'a rien de tendre
Si le ciel a un enfer
Le ciel peut bien m'attendre
Dis moi,
Dans ces vents contraires comment s'y prendre
Plus rien n'a de sens, plus rien ne va.

I like bring me to life by evenessence, but not the lyrics, just the tune and stuff. I think its cool to mix heavy rock and an "innocent" girl's voice.

karma police, I've given all I can, it's not enough
I lost myself, for a minute, I lost myself

***
Nobody knows it, but you've got a secret smile and you use it only for me

***
Wish I could show you,
wish you could see through my eyes
tomorrow shines through
but I#m still missing yesterday

***

Imagine peagant, in my head the flesh seem thicker
Sandpaper tears corrode the film
And I need you now somehow
I need you now somehow

Open fire on my needs designed on my knees for you
Open fire on my knees desires what I need from you

my favourites

Postby Misty Glinn » Monday 20 October 2003 10:10:41pm

so lately, been wondering
who will be there to take my place,
when i'm gone you'll need love to light the shadows on your face,
if a great wave shall fall and fall upon us all,
then betwwen sand and stone, you could make it on your own.
If i could, then i would,
i'll go wherever you will go,
way up high or down low, i'll go wherever you will go.

What i need now is an honest answer, to make things better,
you can see my hands are tied, and i surrender
so i'll wait here for your final answer, your final answer.

These are my favourite songs from 'The Calling' the first is 'Wherever you will go' and the last is 'Final answer'

[i] So maybe tommorrow i'll find my way home

[b]Stereophonics

[i]please don't say a word just give me a sign say anything say anything

[b]Good Charlotte

If I told you that I was thinking of moving east, would you save a place for me? I'll come home because it's worse than I expected. A place in my heart for my home to the west where we'll watch the same sunsets, and when I doubt... I'll look east and lock my heart in a brass box to newfound mass. I'm breaking off but this is my home. I'd do anything for you, give you the world if I could. Is that what you want me to do? These bridges and boundaries are bringing me closer to you --The Get Up Kids

I love that song...it is the perfect modern slow dance song, with the same great emo feeling of other stuff by The Get Up Kids...now it means a lot to me because of recent events in my life regarding moving away from people I love.

Elliott Smith - somebody that I used to know

i had tender feelings that you made hard
but it's your heart, not mine, that's scarred
so when i go home i'll be happy to go
you're just somebody that i used to know
you don't need my help anymore
it's all now to you, there ain't no before
now that you're big enough to run your own show
you're just somebody that i used to know
i watched you deal in a dying day
and throw the living past away
so you can be sure that you're in control
you're just somebody that i used to know
i know you don't think you did me wrong
and i can't stay this way for long
keeping ahold of what you just let go
you're just somebody that i used to know

"Don't worry Be happy!!!"
"I've lied to you
The same way that I always do
This is the last smile
That I'll fake for the sake of being with you

(Everything falls apart
Even the people who never frown
Eventually break down)
The sacrifice of hiding in a lie
(Everything has to end
You'll soon find we're out of time left
To watch it all unwind)
The sacrifice is never knowing

Why I never walked away
Why I played myself this way
Now I see your testing me pushes me away
Why I never walked away
Why I played myself this way
Now I see your testing me pushes me away

I've tried like you
To do everything you wanted too
This is the last time
I'll take the blame for the sake of being with you"

"I'm tired of being what you want me to be
Feeling so faithless lost under the surface
Don't know what you're expecting of me
Put under the pressure of walking in your shoes
(Caught in the undertow just caught in the undertow)
Every step that I take is another mistake to you
(Caught in the undertow just caught in the undertow)

[Chorus]
I've become so numb I can't feel you there
I've become so tired so much more aware
I'm becoming this all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you

Can't you see that you're smothering me
Holding too tightly afraid to lose control
Cause everything that you thought I would be
Has fallen apart right in front of you
(Caught in the undertow just caught in the undertow)
Every step that I take is another mistake to you
(Caught in the undertow just caught in the undertow)
And every second I waste is more than I can take"


"Yo, peep the style and the kids checking for it
The number one question is how could you ignore it
And drop right back in the cut over basement tracks
Rap stack got you backing this up like
Rewind that we're just rolling with the rhythm
Rise from the ashes of stylistic division
With these non-stop lyrics of life living
Not to be forgotten but still unforgiving
But in the meantime there are those who wanna talk this and that
So I suppose that it gets to a point where feelings gotta get hurt
And get dirty with the people spreading the dirt

it goes

[Chorus]
(Tried to give you warning but everyone ignores me)
Told you everything loud and clear
(But nobody’s listening)
(Called to you so clearly but you don’t want to hear me)
Told you everything loud and clear
(But nobody’s listening)

I got a heart full of pain, head full of stress
handfull of anger, held in my chest
And everything left’s a waste of time
I hate my rhymes, but hate everyone else’s more
I’m riding on the back of this pressure
Guessing that it’s better I can’t keep myself together
Because all of this stress gave me something to write on
The pain gave me something I could set my sights on
Never forget the blood sweat and tears
The uphill struggle over years the fear and
Trash talking and the people it was to
And the people that started it just like you

[Chorus]
(Tried to give you warning but everyone ignores me)
Told you everything loud and clear
(But nobody’s listening)
(Called to you so clearly but you don’t want to hear me)
Told you everything loud and clear
(But nobody’s listening)

I got a heart full of pain, head full of stress
handfull of anger, held in my chest
Uphill struggle
Blood sweat and tears
Nothing to gain
Everything to fear

Heart full of pain, head full of stress
handfull of anger, held in my chest
Uphill struggle
Blood sweat and tears
Nothing to gain
Everything to fear

Heart full of pain

[Chorus]
(Tried to give you warning but everyone ignores me)
Told you everything loud and clear
(But nobody’s listening)
(Called to you so clearly but you don’t want to hear me)
Told you everything loud and clear
(But nobody’s listening)

I got a heart full of pain, head full of stress
(Nobody’s listening)
handfull of anger, held in my chest
(Nobody’s listening)
Uphill struggle
Blood sweat and tears
(Nobody’s listening)
Nothing to gain
Everything to fear
(Nobody’s listening)

Coming at you from every side"

"playground school bell rings again
rain clouds come to play again
has no one told you she's not breathing?
hello i'm your mind giving you someone to talk to
hello

if i smile and don't believe
soon i know i'll wake from this dream
don't try to fix me i'm not broken
hello i'm the lie living for you so you can hide
don't cry

suddenly i know i'm not sleeping
hello i'm still here
all that's left of yesterday"

"So what am I not supposed to have an opinion
Should I be quiet just because I'm a woman
Call me a b*tch cos I speak what's on my mind
Guess it's easier for you to swallow if I sat and smiled

When a female fires back
Suddenly the target don't know how to act
So he does what any little boy will do
Making up a few false rumors or two

That for sure is not a man to me
Slanderin' names for popularity
It's sad you only get your fame through controversy
But now it's time for me to come and give you more to say

This is for my girls all around the world
Who've come across a man who don't respect your worth
Thinking all women should be seen, not heard
So what do we do girls?
Shout louder!
Letting them know we're gonna stand our ground
Lift your hands high and wave them proud
Take a deep breath and say it loud
Never can, never will, can't hold us down

\Nobody can hold us down
Nobody can hold us down
Nobody can hold us down
Never can, never will So what am I not supposed to say what I'm saying
Are you offended by the message I'm bringing
Call me whatever cos your words don't mean a thing
Guess you ain't even a man enough to handle what I sing

If you look back in history
It's a common double standard of society
The guy gets all the glory the more he can score
While the girl can do the same and yet you call her a whore

I don't understand why it's okay
The guy can get away with it & the girl gets named
All my ladies come together and make a change
Start a new beginning for us everybody sing

This is for my girls all around the world
Who've come across a man who don't respect your worth
Thinking all women should be seen, not heard
What do we do girls?
Shout louder!
Letting them know we're gonna stand our ground
Lift your hands high and wave 'em proud
Take a deep breath and say it loud
Never can, never will, can't hold us down Lil' Kim:
Check it - Here's something I just can't understand
If the guy have three girls then he's the man
He can either give us some head, s*x her off
If the girl do the same, then she's a whore
But the table's about to turn
I'll bet my fame on it
Cats take my ideas and put their name on it
It's aiight though, you can't hold me down
I got to keep on movin'
To all my girls with a man who be tryin to mack
Do it right back to him and let that be that
You need to let him know that his game is whack
And Lil' Kim and Christina Aguilera got your back

But you're just a little boy
Think you're so cute, so coy
You must talk so big
To make up for small lil' things
So you're just a little boy
All you'll do is annoy
You must talk so big
To make up for small lil' things

This is for my girls...
This is for my girls all around the world
Who've come across a man who don't respect your worth
Thinking all women should be seen, not heard
So what do we do girls?
Shout louder!
Letting them know we're gonna stand our ground
Lift your hands high and wave 'em proud
Take a deep breath and say it loud
Never can, never will, can't hold us down

This is for my girls all around the world
Who've come across a man who don't respect your worth
Thinking all women should be seen, not heard
So what do we do girls?
Shout louder!
Letting them know we're gonna stand our ground
Lift your hands high and wave 'em proud
Take a deep breath and say it loud
Never can, never will, can't hold us down
Spread the word, can't hold us down "

I don't like Christina very much, but song really has great lyrics

"An old man turned ninety-eight
He won the lottery and died the next day
It's a black fly in your Chardonnay
It's a death row pardon two minutes too late
And isn't it ironic...dontcha think

It's like rain on your wedding day
It's a free ride when you've already paid
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
Who would've thought...it figures

Mr. Play It Safe was afraid to fly
He packed his suitcase and kissed his kids goodbye
He waited his whole damn life to take that flight
And as the plane crashed down he thought
"Well isn't this nice..."
And isn't it ironic...dontcha think

It's like rain on your wedding day
It's a free ride when you've already paid
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
Who would've thought...it figures

Well life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
When you think everything's okay and everything's going right
And life has a funny way of helping you out when
You think everything's gone wrong and everything blows up
In your face

A traffic jam when you're already late
A no-smoking sign on your cigarette break
It's like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife
It's meeting the man of my dreams
And then meeting his beautiful wife
And isn't it ironic...dontcha think
A little too ironic...and yeah I really do think...

It's like rain on your wedding day
It's a free ride when you've already paid
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
Who would've thought...it figures

Life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
Life has a funny, funny way of helping you out
Helping you out "
