I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies...

« on: October 31, 2006, 00:54 »

Post song lyrics you like here. I'll start with the song I'm accompanying scenes of LF with, Bob Dylan's "Shelter From The Storm".

'Twas in another lifetime, one of toil and blood
When darkness was a virtue and the road was full of mud
I came in from the wilderness, a creature void of form.
"Come in," she said,
"I'll give you shelter from the storm."

And if I pass this way again, you can rest assured
I'll always do my best for her, on that I give my word
In a world of steel-eyed death, and men who are fighting to be warm.
"Come in," she said,
"I'll give you shelter from the storm."

Not a word was spoke between us, there was little risk involved
Everything up to that point had been left unresolved.
Try imagining a place where it's always safe and warm.
"Come in," she said,
"I'll give you shelter from the storm."

I was burned out from exhaustion, buried in the hail,
Poisoned in the bushes an' blown out on the trail,
Hunted like a crocodile, ravaged in the corn.
"Come in," she said,
"I'll give you shelter from the storm."

Suddenly I turned around and she was standin' there
With silver bracelets on her wrists and flowers in her hair.
She walked up to me so gracefully and took my crown of thorns.
"Come in," she said,
"I'll give you shelter from the storm."

Now the bonds are broken, but they can be retied,
With one more journey to the woods,
the holes where spirits hide.
It's a neverending battle, for a peace that's always torn,
"Come in," she said,
"I'll give you shelter from the storm."

Now there's a wall between us, somethin' there's been lost
I took too much for granted, got my signals crossed.
Just to think that it all began on a long-forgotten morn.
"Come in," she said,
"I'll give you shelter from the storm."

Well, the deputy walks on hard nails and the preacher rides a mount
But nothing really matters much, it's doom alone that counts
And the one-eyed undertaker, he blows a futile horn.
"Come in," she said,
"I'll give you shelter from the storm."

I've heard newborn babies wailin' like a mournin' dove
And old men with broken teeth stranded without love.
Do I understand your question, man, is it hopeless and forlorn?
"Come in," she said,
"I'll give you shelter from the storm."

In a little hilltop village, they gambled for my clothes
I bargained for salvation an' they gave me a lethal dose.
I offered up my innocence and got repaid with scorn.
"Come in," she said,
"I'll give you shelter from the storm."

Well, I'm livin' in a foreign country but I'm bound to cross the line
Beauty walks a razor's edge, someday I'll make it mine.
If I could only turn back the clock to when God and her were born.
"Come in," she said,
"I'll give you shelter from the storm."

I've seen these lyrics already, and can only say once again that it's really nice.
And yeah, it fits "Lisa Fitzgerald" story imho...

My contribution to this thread is very questionable, because I prefer heavy music.
The story is "Child of Darkness", the soundtrack is "A Fallen Star" by Norther. I still think they suit each other.
Here is the lyrics... it's rather short, but like with the most of such songs, the music makes up for that.

Now there's no denying
Veiled in grey no more
The time has come to see
You've already fallen too deep

To rise again, would never be the same
Long gone, the days nightfall upon you

To rise, to fall, to waste away
The blessed can find it all the same
Not to see, not to wonder
As all is torn asunder

Questions never asked, faces forever masked
Your fate is to unfold, in places far below

A Fallen Star is what you are
Forever scarred in heaven
A Fallen Star is what you are
And you have come so far

IMO, another song that suits COD is Pink Floyd's "Wish you were here" at least, somewhat, anyways.

So, so you think you can tell
Heaven from Hell,
Blue skys from pain.
Can you tell a green field
From a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?

And did they get you to trade
Your heros for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
And did you exchange
A walk on part in the war
For a lead role in a cage?

How I wish, how I wish you were here.
We're just two lost souls
Swimming in a fish bowl,
Year after year,
Running over the same old ground.
What have we found?
The same old fears.
Wish you were here



I remember the very first script I did, Bartman meets the Blazer, and, to some possible regret, am going to post the song that I think goes well with it. Five for Fighting's "Superman".

I can't stand to fly
I'm not that naive
I'm just out to find
The better part of me


I'm more than a bird
I'm more than a plane
More than some pretty face
beside a train

It's not easy to be me


Wish that I could cry
Fall upon my knees
Find a way to lie
About a home I'll never see


It may sound absurd
but don't be naive-
Even Heroes have the right to bleed
I may be disturbed
but won't you concede?
Even Heroes have the right to dream

It's not easy to be me


Up, up and away: away from me
It's all right
You can all sleep sound tonight


I can't stand to fly
I'm not that naive
Men weren't meant to ride
With clouds between their knees


I'm only a man in a silly red sheet
Digging for kryptonite on this one way street
Only a man in a funny red sheet
Looking for special things inside of me

It's not easy to be me.

With my dedication to music, i'd post hundreds of lyrics in here, but i'll go with one that marked my life someway. It's dedicated to Lisa, and myself, like the picture i drew from it.

Sanctuary, by Conception.
Blind eyes search the sky,
but try not to reveal
Uncertainty behind
images dancing on a wall...

Each tear a vision,
the more you cry you'll learn
It's so easy to hide in the dark...

The song you know so well
encourages to flee...
The answer to your tears
lingers in colours you can't see

Each word a whisper,
the more they say you'll find
It's so easy to hide in the dark...

You won't find the treasure below the rainbows end
Black and white are strangers to the pictures of the rain

And you meet another day
with hasty little lies,
When someone laughs you turn away,
glad people make you feel unsafe...

There's a place where all is sound,
where you know you won't be found,
where the sun and the moon never shine
and it's easy to hide in the dark...

Did he open up his eyes?
Did he try to touch my hand,
Or is my mind playing tricks on me?
Do you think he hears us cry?
Does he understand
We are here, by his side...

This is a good thread idea I think. And some good songs mentioned too Smile

As for me, there is only one answer. Peep-hole!

When your stars are baked,
And your rivers fly,
Do you ever believe you were stuck in the...
Sky?

When your castle breaks,
And your feet are dry,
Do you ever believe you were stuck in the...
Sky?!

Do you believe... when you're high...
That your life is tried...

DONT YOU EVER GET STUCK IN THE SKY!
DONT YOU EVER GET STUCK IN THE SKY!
Don't ever get stuck in the sky... when you're high...

When your moon is fake,
And your mermaids cry,
Do you ever believe you were stuck in the...
Sky?

When your tunnel fades,
And your guide is shy,
Do you ever believe you were stuck in the...
Sky?!

Do you believe... when you're high...
That your life, IS TRIED?!!

DONT YOU EVER GET STUCK IN THE SKY!
DONT YOU EVER GET STUCK IN THE SKY!
Don't ever get stuck in the sky, when you're high,
DONT YOU EVER GET STUCK IN THE SKY!
DONT YOU EVER GET STUCK IN THE SKY!
Don't ever get stuck in the sky, when you're hi-hi-hi-hi-hi-hi-high!

DONT YOU EVER GET STUCK IN THE SKY!
(repeat 6 times or so)
Don't ever get stuck in the sky, when you're high.......

It inspired a picture. I bet you cant guess which one...  Tongue

I am not sure why, but this song always pulls me out of the dumps. it is almost 27 minutes long, but danged if it is not worth the download time. this is something that even you might like Serge. Smile

I never wanted to become someone like him so secure
Content to live each day just like the last
I was sure I knew that
This was not for me
And I wanted so much more
Far beyond what I could see
So I swore that I'd
Never be someone like him

So many years have passed
Since I proclaimed
My independence
My mission
My aim
And my vision
So secure
Content to live each day like it's my last
It's wonderful to know
That I could be
Something more than I dreamed
Far beyond what I could see
Still I swear that I'm
Missing out this time

As far as I could tell
There's nothing more I need
But still I ask myself
Could this be everything
Then all I swore
That I would never be was now
So suddenly
The only thing
I wanted
To become
To be someone just like him

II. MEDICATE (Awakening)

Lyrics: James LaBrie

A Doctor sitting next to me
He asks me how I feel
Not sure I understand his questioning
He says I've been away a while
But thinks he has cured me
From a state of catatonic sleep

For 30 years
Where have I been
Eyes open
But not getting through to me

Medicate me
Infiltrate me
Side effects appear
As my conscience slips away

Medicate me
Science failing
Conscience fading fast
Can't you stop what's happening

A higher dosage he prescribes
But there's no guarantee
I feel it starting to take over me
I tell him not to be ashamed
There's no one who's to blame
A second shot
A brief awakening

I feel the relapse
Can't break free
Eyes open
But not getting through to me

III. FULL CIRCLE

Lyrics: Mike Portnoy

sailing on the seven seize the day tripper diem's ready
jack the ripper owens wilson phillips and my supper's ready
lucy in the sky with diamond dave's not here I come to save the
day for nightmare cinema show me the way to get back home again

Running forward
Falling back
Spinning round and round
Looking outward
Reaching in
Scream without a sound

Leaning over
Crawling up
Stumbling all around
Losing my place
Only to find I've come full circle

flying off the handle with careful with
that axe eugene gene the dance machine
messiah light my fire gabba gabba
hey hey my my generation's home again

Running forward
Falling back
Spinning round and round
Looking outward
Reaching in
Scream without a sound

Leaning over
Crawling up
Stumbling all around
Losing my place
Only to find I've come full circle

IV. INTERVALS

Lyrics: Mike Portnoy

Our deadly sins feel his mortal wrath
Remove all obstacles from our path

Asking questions
Search for clues
The answer's been right in front of you

Try to break through
Long to connect
Fall on deaf ears and fails muted breath

Loyalty, trust, faith and desire
Carries love through each darkest fire

Tortured Insanity
A smothering hell
Try to escape but no avail

The calls of admirers
Who claim they adore
Drain all your lifeblood while begging for more

Innocent victims of merciless crimes
Fall prey to some madmen's impulsive designs

Step after step
We try controlling our fate
When we finally start living it has become too late

Trapped inside this Octavarium
Trapped inside this Octavarium
Trapped inside this Octavarium
Trapped inside this Octavarium

V. RAZOR'S EDGE

Lyrics: John Petrucci

We move in circles
Balanced all the while
On a gleaming razor's edge

A perfect sphere
Colliding with our fate
This story ends where it began

This is the song I was originaly going to put in my LF illustrations, but realized each verse was pretty long. IMO, it perfectly describes the fic, and maybe even Lisa herself.

"Concrete Angel"

She walks to school with the lunch she packed
Nobody knows what she's holdin' back
Wearin' the same dress she wore yesterday
She hides the bruises with linen and lace

The teacher wonders but she doesn't ask
It's hard to see the pain behind the mask
Bearing the burden of a secret storm
Sometimes she wishes she was never born

Through the wind and the rain
She stands hard as a stone
In a world that she can't rise above
But her dreams give her wings
And she flies to a place where she's loved
Concrete angel

Somebody cries in the middle of the night
The neighbors hear, but they turn out the lights
A fragile soul caught in the hands of fate
When morning comes it'll be too late

Through the wind and the rain
She stands hard as a stone
In a world that she can't rise above
But her dreams give her wings
And she flies to a place where she's loved
Concrete angel

A statue stands in a shaded place
An angel girl with an upturned face
A name is written on a polished rock
A broken heart that the world forgot

Through the wind and the rain
She stands hard as a stone
In a world that she can't rise above
But her dreams give her wings
And she flies to a place where she's loved
Concrete angel
Concrete angel...

Charly Lownoise & Mental Theo - Speedcity Megamix

I found the love but it didn't last
Wonderful days belong to the past
I don't know where I stand, what I'm to do
Tried to forget and to find someone new
So I prayed on my knees to the heaven above
Send me somebody please, someone to love
To continue my story give me your hand
Don't let me down with a heart to be damned

So if you see the stars tonight, than tell me what they say
And let me know how bright they are, and I will always pray
That one day you´ll come down to me, to tell me from above
My angel from the universe, the one I always love

Come show me your hardcore feelings with your raving meanings
Cause I don´t know the way to groove
And I´ve never learned to dance this fast
And I don´t know the way to move
When the beats kicking hard and the beats kicking low
Okay, I think that it´s unique
But I rather like to dance with you like we did cheek to cheek

In my hands I hold your smile
And in my heart it runs so wild
You are the one you are unique
I’m so in love you make me weak
And the reason that I feel is like a shadow from a light
So if you have the chance to be with me, be my shadow in the night

In my hands I hold your smile
And in my heart it runs so wild
I want you near me night and day
And I will love you all the way
And the reason that I feel is like a shadow from a light
So if you have the chance to be with me, be my shadow in the night

Is it just me, or has this turned into a "Who can post the saddest song thread"? Well, to bring it out of that, here's Green Day's "American Idiot" song. [IMO, an awesome song.]

Don't want to be an American idiot.
Don't want a nation under the new mania.
And can you hear the sound of hysteria?
The subliminal mind$%#@ America.

Welcome to a new kind of tension.
All across the alienation.
Where everything isn't meant to be okay.
Television dreams of tomorrow.
We're not the ones meant to follow.
For that's enough to argue.

Well maybe I'm the %$&#@! America.
I'm not a part of a redneck agenda.
Now everybody do the propaganda.
And sing along in the age of paranoia.

Welcome to a new kind of tension.
All across the alienation.
Where everything isn't meant to be okay.
Television dreams of tomorrow.
We're not the ones meant to follow.
For that's enough to argue.

Don't wanna be an American idiot.
One nation controlled by the media.
Information age of hysteria.
It's calling out to idiot America.

Welcome to a new kind of tension.
All across the alienation.
Where everything isn't meant to be okay.
Television dreams of tomorrow.
We're not the ones meant to follow.
For that's enough to argue.

Hmmm, then maybe I can post some more "cheerfull" song lyrics, something related around Sunshine, lollypops and rainbo- *is shot*
... Okay, I'm not that bad Tongue Infact what I mostly listen to is quite depressing, However, to balance this thread out, I will post some The Lion King lyrics instead of The Offspring, etc Big Grin Circle of life ( Elton Johns version):

From the day we arrive on the planet
And blinking, step into the sun
There's more to be seen than can ever be seen
More to do than can ever be done
 
Some say eat or be eaten
Some say live and let live
But all are agreed as they join the stampede
You should never take more than you give
 
(Chorus)
In the Circle of Life
It's the wheel of fortune
It's the leap of faith
It's the band of hope
Till we find our place
On the path unwinding
In the Circle, the Circle of Life
 
Some of us fall by the wayside
And some of us soar to the stars
And some of us sail through our troubles
And some have to live with the scars
 
There's far too much to take in here
More to find than can ever be found
But the sun rolling high
Through the sapphire sky
Keeps the great and small on the endless round
 
(Chorus repeats)
 
On the path unwinding
In the Circle, the Circle of Life.

Reason I post this is 'cos it's a pretty song Smile
and is quite different to alot of the stuff on my mp3player/computer

Well A.P. the lyrics that I posted were also not sad. Octavarium is 22 minutes long and it switches tempo every few minutes and the end is all instrumental that is really intense. Trust me and find a way to get a copy of this song. You will probably be hooked on the band instantly. Smile
