The name of the album is "A NAtural Disaster" and i think it's very great.
The song in particular is here, remember to rename it to the proper extension Wink

lol, why doesn't anybody comment about the lyrics I post? Anyway, here's "Wake me up when september ends" by Green Day.

Summer has come and passed
The innocent can never last
Wake me up when September ends

Like my fathers come to pass
Seven years has gone so fast
Wake me up when September ends

Here comes the rain again
Falling from the stars
Drenched in my pain again
Becoming who we are

As my memory rests
But never forgets what I lost
Wake me up when September ends

Summer has come and passed
The innocent can never last
Wake me up when September ends

Ring out the bells again
Like we did when spring began
Wake me up when September ends

Here comes the rain again
Falling from the stars
Drenched in my pain again
Becoming who we are

As my memory rests
But never forgets what I lost
Wake me up when September ends

Summer has come and passed
The innocent can never last
Wake me up when September ends

Like my father's come to pass
Twenty years has gone so fast
Wake me up when September ends
Wake me up when September ends
Wake me up when September ends

Well, AP, i guess the answer is that.... each lyric means something special to someone depending on the music. It's hard to make sense of some lyrics if they're disassociated from their music. Since i dont know most of the songs you posted, i don't know how they sound, i fail in creating a "mood" that carries the words, and so... i might like some sentences and the general idea of the text, but it doesn't hook me up in the way it hooks you up Smile

But in this last case, with "Wake Me Up", i know and like the song pretty much (after all it has been a pop hit for weeks), and readign the lyrics give it a second reading key. A reason to listen more Smile

For me, Lyrics are a vital part of sung music. If a song has uninspired, or clicheed, or teen-angst-emo lyrics, it loses half of its charm imo. That's why i love bands like Opeth, Katatonia, but more of all, Anathema, like the last one. They compose song, but they also compose poems. Such as:

Opeth - Isolation Years

There's a sense of longing in me
As I read Rosemary's letter
Her writing's honest
Can't forget the years she's lost

In isolation
She talks about her love
And as I read
"I'll die alone"
I know she was aching

There's a certain detail seen here
The pen must have slipped to the side
And left a stain
Next to his name
She knew he was gone

And isolation
Is all that would remain
"The wound in me is pouring out
To rest on a lover's shore"

I'm not sure if I posted this yet, but here's "Holy Water" by Big and Rich:


Somewhere there's a stolen halo
I use to watch her wear it well
Everything would shine wherever she would go
But looking at her now you'd never tell

Someone ran away with her innocence
A memory she can't get out of her head
I can only imagine what she's feeling
When she's praying
Kneeling at the edge of her bed

And she says take me away
And take me farther
Surround me now
And hold, hold, hold me like holy water
Holy water

She wants someone to call her angel
Someone to put the light back in her eyes
She's looking through the faces
The unfamiliar places
She needs someone to hear her when she cries

And she says take me away
And take me farther
Surround me now
And hold, hold, hold me like holy water

She just needs a little help
To wash away the pain she's felt
She wants to feel the healing hands
Of someone who understands

And she says take me away
And take me farther
Surround me now
And hold, hold, hold me
And she says take me away
And take me farther
Surround me now
And hold, hold, hold me like holy water
Like Holy water
Like Holy water
Like Holy water

I'm breaking my 'No Posting' mandate.

Fear Factory's 'A Thearapy for Pain' caught my lyric listening ear today. An amazing song experiance, so few lyrics for almost 10 minutes of guitar riff... Nice!

--
I welcome death with open arms
Her soft breath and simple charm
Wandering through memories
Takes my hand for me to see

Tried so hard... (x2)

Echoes of Innocence
Are my thoughts into dissent

Tried so hard... (x4)

When we finally reach the end
She lets go off my hand
Walking into realms of light
There will be no death tonight

Tried so hard... (x4)
--

I dont know who 'she' is but, kinda makes me think a particular blonde spikey hair halo wearing winged 8 year old.

I wonder who...  Lisa

lol, that's why I posted the song "Holy Water" Smile Here's the lyrics for what is one of Green Day's strangest songs; "Warning". I think it was written mainly for the purpose of irony.

This is a public service anouncement, this is only a test
Emergency evacuation process
May Impair your ability to operate machinery
Can't quite tell just what it means to me
Keep out of reach of children, don't you talk to strangers
Get your philoshophy from a bumper sticker

CHORUS:
Warning. Live without warning
Say warning. Live without warning
Without. Alright.

VERSE 2:
Mental homes and safety self communities.
Did you remember to the pay the utility?
Gosh Darn Police Line You Better Not Cross!
Is it the cop, or am I the one thats really dangerous?
Sanitation, expiration date, question everything.
Oh shut up and be a victim of authority

CHORUS:
Warning. Live without warning
Say warning. Live without warning
Say warning. Live without warning
Say warning. Live without warning
Without. Alright.

VERSE 3:
Mental homes and saftey shelf communities.
Did you remember to pay the pay the utility?
Gosh Darn Police Line You Better Not Cross!
Is it the cop, or am I the one that's really dangerous
Sanitation, expiration date, question everything.
Oh shut up and be a victim of authority

CHORUS:
Warning. Live without warning
Say warning. Live without warning
Say warning. Live without warning
Say warning. Live without warning
This is a public service anouncement, this is only a test

Here is a song that has taken on a deep meaning for me.

LifeHouse----All in All

Standing on top of the edge it feels like it's going down
Everything stays in my mind feeling in a daze on the ground
Feels like it's gonna give life's to hard to live anymore
I think I've had enough things too tough
I'm out the door

All in all it's just another day now
You're falling down
What you gonna do
Standing on top of the world tonight
No ones looking back at you

Stand tall
It's going on
It's going on
It's gonna be just fine
You're holding on
Holding on today

Things don't stop and the others announced they're moving on
Salt & tears in the minds in the mouths of a bad decision
Too late for another mistake it's bringing me down
With all your faults it isn't your fault
What's going on

All in all it's just another day now
You're falling down
What you gonna do
Standing on top of the world tonight
No ones looking back at you

Stand tall
It's going on
It's going on
It's gonna be just fine
You're holding on
Holding on today

So you lost yourself
So you lost your way
Found life through someone else
But you threw it all away

All in all it's just another day now
You're falling down
What you gonna do
Standing on top of the world tonight
No ones looking back at you

Stand tall
It's going on
It's going on
It's gonna be just fine
You're holding on
Holding on today

Times rolling on
Rolling on today
It's going on
Going on today

Every time I hear this song I think of Lisa. Don't ask me why, but after seeing such episodes as "She of Little Faith" and "Lisa the Skeptic" it just sort of clicked. Go figure.

In another life
I woke up dreaming with a sigh
As the morning light
Was painting whispers of a joy

And I was in the candlelit bedroom
Enchanting beauty shimmering magically
Like an iridescent cloud
Being blown by a westerly wind

She can move your soul without you knowing
She can take your breath away from heaven

And I was captured by her loneliness
A wounded tiger on a willowy path
Like an opalescent moon all alone
In the sky of a foreign land

She can take your breath away from heaven
She can move your soul without you knowing
She can take your breath away from heaven
She is like an everlasting blossom
She can take your breath away from heaven...

-George Harrison "Breath Away From Heaven" (Cloud Nine)

Wow, this last one is very good. I like especially
"
And I was captured by her loneliness
A wounded tiger on a willowy path
Like an opalescent moon all alone
In the sky of a foreign land

"

It does fit Lisa's character very well, especially in the episodes where she feels blue.  Sad

When I heard this song by chance I have been simply struck... Very touching and gentle song... filled with an easy grief. Smile And what the accompaniment on the piano...and the voice of course.

Nina Simone

Little girl blue

  Sit there and count your fingers
  What can you do
  Old girl you're through
  Sit there, count your little fingers
  Unhappy little girl blue.

  Sit there and count the raindrops
  Falling on you
  It's time you knew
  All you can ever count on
  Are the raindrops
  That fall on little girl blue

  Won't you just sit there
  Count the little raindrops
  Falling on you
  'Cause it's time you knew
  All you can ever count on
  Are the raindrops
  That fall on little girl blue

  No use old girl
  You might as well surrender
  'Cause your hopes are getting slender and slender
  Why won't somebody send a tender blue boy
  To cheer up little girl blue
