Post your best songs with meanings

[Sportsdude]

Now some of you will worry about me because I pick songs that are heavy in meanings, but I think this an opportunity to share songs that mean a lot to you.

My first song

U2's Your Blue Room.

 [FONT face=Verdana][FONT size=5]U2 LYRICS

[/FONT][FONT size=2]"Your Blue Room"

It's time to go again
To your blue room
Got some questions to ask of you
In your blue room
The air is clean
Your skin is clear
I've had enough of hangin' round here
It's a different kind of conversation
Your blue room

Saw me calling love, somewhere deep inside
Saw me calling you, somewhere I can hide

And time is a string of pearls
Your blue room
See the future just hanging there
Your blue room
And you crave
A new perspective
Looking down on my objectives
New instructions
Whatever their directions
Your blue room

Saw me calling love
(Bongolese)
Saw me calling
(Bongolese)

It's alright
Your blue room
One day I'll be back
Your blue room
Yeah, I hope I remember where it's at
Your blue room

See me slide
Won't you take me back there
So much fun to me

[Adam]
Zooming in
Zooming out
Nothing I can do about
A lens to see it all up close
Magnifying what everybody knows
Never in conflict
Never alone
No car alarm
No cellular phone[/FONT]

[font face="Arial"]AMERICAN LOVE AFFAIR
(Tonio K.)[/font][/p][font face="Arial"]jacob comes from memphis
he's a self-made man, owned half of tennessee
and now he's sold off all his old friends
and bought up the past and paid down on you and me
yes and new york may be the new world
but she's still a filthy concrete bitch without a soul
but it don't matter 'cause jacob you know he wants her
because he's climbed so high there's nowhere left to go[/font][/p][font face="Arial"]it's an american love affair
it's an american dream
somebody said that it's everywhere
nobody's sure what it means
but if you wake with your mind on fire
too frightened even to scream
it's just an american love affair
just an american dream[/font][/p][font face="Arial"]sweet rebecca, she's a go-getter
she'll tell you that she loves you for a price
and she should know better, but no one's let her
take the time to think at all, much less think twice
and now all the glitter and the human litter
that surround her seem as normal as the sky
and in the morning if you buy her diamonds
she will always try to guess how much but never why[/font][/p][font face="Arial"]it's an american love affair·[/font][/p][font face="Arial"]©1974 Worthless Music and Propane Publishing Co. (ASCAP)[/p][/font]

I like this one by Matthew Good. Its a call out on all the "terror alert" warnings. Keeping people on the edge of their ginch. Afraid of change. Believing if the war machine slows down, the world is doomed. I believe I already shared this Canadian artist's song with tenkani.[/DIV] [/DIV]MATTHEW GOOD
Alert Status Red
(Good)

In the wilderness uncountable voices
earplugs for the birds and the animals
and blinders for your beast of burden, the will for learning
these books were made for burning
in the wilderness
beneath the ancient sand lies crushed and tanned those sapphire girls
may we never forget you
Alert status red
but the sun comes up instead
In the wilderness the only place to find freedom is in the dictionary
under "F"
men in holes, men in caves, men in chains I ask but the store clerk needn't check
man I forget which came first
the bad idea or me befallen by it?
not giving a shit may we never forget you
Alert status red
but the sun comes up instead
In the wilderness
senile live the zealous
lost to the treasures that compel us
muted down like patriots amiss
you know I'm jealous of how you can just turn them off
those bad ideas that feel so soft
may they never forget you
Alert status red
but the sun comes up instead

[FONT size=2][FONT face=Verdana]"Bullet The Blue Sky"
U2[/FONT][/FONT][/DIV][FONT size=2][FONT face=Verdana]
In the howling wind comes a stinging rain
See it driving nails
Into the souls on the tree of pain
From the firefly, a red orange glow
See the face of fear
Running scared in the valley below

Bullet the blue sky
Bullet the blue sky
Bullet the blue
Bullet the blue

In the locust wind comes a rattle and hum
Jacob wrestled the angel
And the angel was overcome
You plant a demon seed
You raise a flower of fire
See them burning crosses
See the flames higher and higher

Bullet the blue sky
Bullet the blue sky
Bullet the blue
Bullet the blue

This guy comes up to me
His face red like a rose on a thorn bush
Like all the colors of a royal flush
And he's peeling off those dollar bills
Slapping them down
One hundred, two hundred
And I can see those fighter planes
And I can see those fighter planes
Across the mud huts where the children sleep
Through the alleys of a quiet city street
You take the staircase to the first floor
Turn the key and slowly unlock the door
As a man breathes into a saxophone
And through the walls you hear the city groan
Outside is America
Outside is America

Across the field you see the sky ripped open
See the rain through a gaping wound
Pounding on the women and children
Who run
Into the arms
Of America[/FONT][/FONT]

Driftwood - Travis

Everything is open
Nothing is set in stone
Rivers turn to oceans
Oceans tide you home
Home is where the heart is
But your heart had to roam
Drifting over bridges
Never to return
Watching bridges burn

You're driftwood floating underwater
Breaking into pieces, pieces, pieces
Just driftwood, hollow and of no use
Waterfalls will find you, bind you, grind you

Nobody is an island
Everyone had to go
Pillars turn to butter
Butterflying low
Low is where your heart is
But your heart has to grow
Drifting under bridges
Never with the flow

And you really didn't think it would happen
But it really is the end of the line
So I'm sorry that you've turned to driftwood
But you've been drifting for a long, long time

Everywhere there's trouble
Nowhere's safe to go
Pushes turn to shovels
Shovelling the snow
Frozen you have chosen
The path you wish to go
Drifting now forever
And forever more
Until you reach your shore

You're driftwood floating underwater
Breaking into pieces, pieces, pieces
Just driftwood, hollow and of no use
Waterfalls will find you, bind you, grind you
And you, really didn't think it would happen
But it really is the end of the line
So I'm sorry that you've turned to driftwood
But you've been drifting for a long, long time
You've been drifting, for a long, long
Drifting for a long, long time

Repress and restrain
Steal the pressure and the pain
Wash the blood off your hands
This time she won't understand

Change in the air
And they'll hide everywhere
And no one knows who's in control

You're working so hard
And you're never in charge
Your death creates success
Rebuild and suppress

Change in the air
And they'll hide everywhere
And no one knows who's in control

Change in the air
And they'll hide everywhere
And no one knows who's in control[/FONT][/FONT]

Take my hand
You know I'll be there
If you can
I'll cross the sky for your love
For I have promised
Oh, to be with you tonight
And for the time that will come

Take my hand
You know I'll be there
If you can
I'll cross the sky for your love
And I understand
These winds and tides
This change of times
Won't drag you away
Hold on, and hold on tightly
Hold on, and don't let go
Of my love

The storms will pass (the storm will pass)
It won't be long now (it won't be long now)
His love will last
His love will last...forever

Take my hand
You know I'll be there
If you can
I'll cross the sky for your love
Give you what I hold dear

Hold on, hold on tightly
Hold on, hold on tightly
Rise up, rise up
With wings like eagles
You run, you run
You run and not grow weary

(take my hand, take my hand)
Hold on, and hold on tightly
Hold on, hold on tightly
To this love...last forever
To this love...last forever

Take my hand
Take my hand...

  Outsiders - Franz Ferdinand

We've seen some change[/DIV]But we're still outsiders[/DIV]If everybody's here[/DIV]Then hell knows we ride alone

I've seen some years[/DIV]But you're still my Caesar[/DIV]With everything I feel [/DIV]I feel you've already been here

The only differnce is all I see[/DIV]Is now all that I've seen

It's bright on the outside[/DIV]The bright love the dark side[/DIV]I know its obvious[/DIV]But sometimes[/DIV]You just have to say it[/DIV]So you don't feel so weak[/DIV]About being such a freak[/DIV]Or alone

In seventeen years [/DIV]Will you still be Camille[/DIV]Lee Miller, Gala or whatever[/DIV]You know what I mean, yeah

Love'll die [/DIV]Lovers fade[/DIV]But you still remain there[/DIV]Squeezing in your fingers [/DIV]What it means for me to be

The only differnce is what might be [/DIV]Is now what might have been

When you saw me sleeping you thought I was dreaming of you[/DIV]I didn't tell you[/DIV]That the only dream [/DIV]Is Valium for me

The only difference is that what might be[/DIV]Is now...

Midnight, our sons and daughters
Were cut down and taken from us
Hear their heartbeat
We hear their heartbeat

In the wind we hear their laughter
In the rain we see their tears
Hear their heartbeat
We hear their heartbeat

Night hangs like a prisoner
Stretched over black and blue
Hear their heartbeat
We hear their heartbeat

In the trees our sons stand naked
Through the walls our daughters cry
See their tears in the rainfall[/FONT][/FONT]

[P class=n]Haiti

Haiti, man pays, wounded mother i'll never see
ma famille set me free. throw my ashes into the sea.
mes cousins janais nes hantent les nuits de duralier.
rien n'arrete nos esprits. guns can't kill what soldiers can't see.
in the forest we are hiding, unmarked graves where flowers grow. hear
the soldiers angry yelling, in the river we will go.
tous les morts-nes forment une armee
soon we will reclaim the earth.
all the tears and all the bodies bring about our second birth
haiti, never free, n'ale pas peur des sonner l'alarme.
tes enfants son partis, in those days their blood was still warm.

In the Living Years....Mike and the Mechanics

Every generation
Blames the one before
And all of their frustrations
Come beating on your door

I know that I'm a prisoner
To all my father held so dear
I know that I'm a hostage
To all his hopes and fears
I just wish I could have told him in the living years

Crumpled bits of paper
Filled with imperfect thought
Stilted conversations
I'm afraid that's all we've got

You say you just don't see it
He says it's perfect sense
You just can't get agreement
In this present tense
We all talk a different language
Talking in defence

Say it loud, say it clear
You can listen as well as you hear
It's too late when we die
To admit we don't see eye to eye

So we open up a quarrel
Between the present and the past
We only sacrifice the future
It's the bitterness that lasts

So don't yield to the fortunes
You sometimes see as fate
It may have a new perspective
On a different day
And if you don't give up, and don't give in
You may just be o.k.

Say it loud, say it clear
You can listen as well as you hear
It's too late when we die
To admit we don't see eye to eye

I wasn't there that morning
When my father passed away
I didn't get to tell him
All the things I had to say

I think I caught his spirit
Later that same year
I'm sure I heard his echo
In my baby's new born tears
I just wish I could have told him in the living years

Say it loud, say it clear
You can listen as well as you hear
It's too late when we die
To admit we don't see eye to eye

Still sniffing  after all these years...*sniff sniff*

[/FONT][FONT size=2]"If You're Not The One"

If you're not the one then why does my soul feel glad today?
If you're not the one then why does my hand fit yours this way?
If you are not mine then why does your heart return my call
If you are not mine would I have the strength to stand at all

I'll never know whatthe future brings
But I know you're here with me now
We'll make it through
And I hope you are the one I share my life with

I don't want to run away but I can't take it, I don't understand
If I'm not made for you then why does my heart tell me that I am?
Is there any way that I can stay in your arms?

If I don't need you then why am I crying on my bed?
If I don't need you then why does your name resound in my head?
If you're not for me then why does this distance maim my life?
If you're not for me then why do I dream of you as my wife?

I don't know why you're so far away
But I know that this much is true
We'll make it through
And I hope you are the one I share my life with
And I wish that you could be the one I die with
And I pray in you're the one I build my home with
I hope I love you all my life

I don't want to run away but I can't take it, I don't understand
If I'm not made for you then why does my heart tell me that I am
Is there any way that I can stay in your arms?

'Cause I miss you, body and soul so strong that it takes my breath away
And I breathe you into my heart and pray for the strength to stand today
'Cause I love you, whether it's wrong or right
And though I can't be with you tonight
You know my heart is by your side

I don't want to run away but I can't take it, I don't understand
If I'm not made for you then why does my heart tell me that I am
Is there any way that I could stay in your arms[/FONT][/FONT]

i tried to kill the pain
but only brought more
i lay dying
and i'm pouring crimson regret and betrayal
i'm dying, praying, bleeding and screaming
am i too lost to be saved
am i too lost?

return to me salvation
my God my tourniquet

do you remember me
lost for so long
will you be on the other side
or will you forget me
i'm dying, praying, bleeding and screaming

hold on to me love
you know i can't stay long
all i wanted to say was i love you and i'm not afraid
can you hear me?
can you feel me in your arms?

holding my last breath
safe inside myself
are all my thoughts of you
sweet raptured light it ends here tonight

i'll miss the winter
a world of fragile things
look for me in the white forest
hiding in a hollow tree (come find me)
i know you hear me
i can taste it in your tears

holding my last breath
safe inside myself
are all my thoughts of you
sweet raptured light it ends here tonight

closing your eyes to disappear
you pray your dreams will leave you here
but still you wake and know the truth
no one's there

say goodnight
don't be afraid
calling me calling me as you fade to black

holding my last breath
safe inside myself
are all my thoughts of you
sweet raptured light it ends here tonight[/FONT][/FONT][/TD][/TR][/TBODY][/TABLE][/TD][/TR][/TBODY][/TABLE][/TD][/TR][/TBODY][/TABLE]

EVANESCENCE LYRICS

[FONT size=2]"Breathe No More"

[Piano Solo Opening]

I've been looking in the mirror for so long.
That I've come to believe my soul's on the other side.
All the little pieces falling, shatter.
Shards of me,
Too sharp to put back together.
Too small to matter,
But big enough to cut me into so many little pieces.
If I try to touch her,
And I bleed,
I bleed,
And I breathe,
I breathe no more.

Take a breath and I try to draw from my spirits well.
Yet again you refuse to drink like a stubborn child.
Lie to me,
Convince me that I've been sick forever.
And all of this,
Will make sense when I get better.
But I know the difference,
Between myself and my reflection.
I just can't help but to wonder,
Which of us do you love.
So I bleed,
I bleed,
And I breathe,
I breathe no...
Bleed,
I bleed,
And I breathe,
I breathe,
I breathe-
I breathe no more[/FONT][/FONT][/TD][/TR][/TBODY][/TABLE][/TD][/TR][/TBODY][/TABLE][/TD][/TR][/TBODY][/TABLE]

[/FONT][FONT face=Verdana size=2]
Manchmal läuft es wie im Märchen,
wo's immer gut ausgeht,
wo alles eine Fügung hat
und man von Schicksal spricht.

Und weil du gerade glücklich bist,
glaubst du ans Happy End.
Es ist schön, wenn du sagst, dass du mich liebst,
auch wenn ich dabei denk:

Alles wird vorübergehen.

Du denkst, dass du ewig lebst,
dass du hier sicher bist,
mit all den vielen netten Freunden,
den lieben Menschen um dich.
Wenn der Boden unter deinen Füßen bricht,
gibt's keinen Haltegriff.
Ob du loslässt oder ob du kämpfst,
es reißt dich einfach mit.

Alles wird vorübergehen.

Die gute und die schwere Zeit -
nichts bleibt jemals stehen.
Eine Hand voll Glück reicht nie für zwei,
man muss nehmen, was man kriegt.

Ich hab keine Angst zu sterben,
solange du bei mir bist,
doch halt dich nicht an meiner Liebe fest.
