If its not too personal, you can also tell us why this song touches you very much. We really want to know, don't we ...

 

 

Me, You, My Medication - Boys like girls

 

Found my way to the highway I don't wanna tell you the state Im in

I've had too much to smoke too much to drink where have I been

It feels like the stars are getting closer and the sky is closing in

And I don't know where to begin

 

We're all looking for something

To take away the pain

 

Me and you and my medication

(Making the best of it)

Love is just a chemical creation

(Will it be permanent?)

Synthetic sensation

Me you and my medication

 

The way back to the right track maybe you can help me find the door

Is it too much to ask, too much too fast, too much to ignore

It feels like your bodys getting closer but you seem so far away

Medicine make it ok

 

We're all looking for someone

To take away the pain

 

Me and you and my medication

(Making the best of it)

Love is just a chemical creation

(Will it be permanent?)

Synthetic sensation

Me you and my medication

 

Can you feel it?

Do you feel it?

Coming down

You gotta get up

Can you get up

Off the ground

Can you hear it?

Can you hear me screaming?

Can you feel it?

Do you feel it?

Coming down

You gotta get up

Can you get up

Off the ground

I wanna hear it

Wanna hear you breathing

 

Were all addicted to something

That takes away the pain

 

Me and you and my medication

(Making the best of it)

Love is just a chemical creation

(Will it be permanent?)

Synthetic sensation

Me you and my medication

 

 

Important to me because when i got dumped by one of my ex GFs i was looking to anything to take away the pain, and i still am. Nothing works so far.

"The Weakness In Me" Joan Armatrading

 

I'm not the sort of person who falls in and quickly out of love

But to you, I give my affection, right from the start.

I have a lover who loves me - how could I break such a heart?

Yet still you get my attention.

 

Why do you come here, when you know I've got troubles enough?

Why do you call me, when you know I can't answer the phone?

And make me lie when I don't want to,

And make someone else some kind of an unknowing fool?

Make me stay when I should not?

If you're so strong then resolve the weakness in me.

Why do you come here, and pretend to be just passing by?

I need to see you - I need to hold you - tightly.

 

Feeling guilty,

And I'm worried, and I'm waking from a tormented sleep

'Cause this old love, you know it has me bound,

But this new love cuts so deep.

If I choose now, I'm bound to lose out;

One of you is gonna have to fall...

I need you, baby.

 

Why do you come here, when you know I've got troubles enough?

Why do you call me, when you know I can't answer the phone?

And make me lie when I don't want to,

And make someone else some kind of an unknowing fool?

Make me stay when I should not?

If you're so strong then resolve the weakness in me.

Why do you come here, and pretend to be just passing by?

I need to see you - I need to hold you - tightly.

 

 

 

It's a beautiful song. Listen you'll understand.

[timetogrow]

Hey guy, how about this lyric? i've been listening to this song almost everyday!

 

Hey lady, you, lady, cursin' at your life

You're a discontented mother and a rich inventive wife

I've no doubt you dream about the things you'll never do

But I wish someone had a talked to me like I wanna talk to you

Ooh I've been to Georgia and California, oh, anywhere I could run

Took the hand of a preacherman and we made love in the sun

But I ran out of places and friendly faces because I had to be free

Charlene

I've been to paradise, but I've never been to me

Please lady, please, lady, don't just walk away

'Cause I have this need to tell you why I'm all alone today

I can see so much of me still living in your eyes

Won't you share a part of a weary heart that has lived a million lies

Oh I've been to Nice and the isle of Greece

While I sipped champagne on a yacht

I moved like Harlow in Monte Carlo and showed 'em what I've got

I've been undressed by kings and I've seen some things

That a woman ain't s'posed to see

I've been to paradise, but I've never been to me

 

people and places as we'd like them to be. But you know what truth is?

It's that little baby you're holding, and it's that man you fought with

this morning, the same one you're going to make love with tonight.

That's truth, that's love

Sometimes I've been to cryin' for unborn children

That might have made me complete

But I, I took the sweet life and never knew I'd be bitter from the sweet

I spent my life exploring the subtle whoring that cost too much to be free

Hey lady, I've been to paradise, but I've never been to me

I've been to paradise - never been to me

(I've been to Georgia and California, and anywhere I could run)

I've been to paradise - never been to me

(I've been to Nice and the isle of Greece

While I sipped champagne on a yacht)

I've been to paradise - never been to me

(I've been to cryin' for unborn children...) (to fade)

[tina-rocks]

I set out on a narrow way, many years ago

Hoping I would find true love, along the broken road

But I got lost a time or two, wiped my brow and kept pushing through

I couldn't see how every sign, pointed straight to you

 

Every long lost dream, led me to where you are

Others who broke my heart, they were like northern stars

Pointing me on my way, into your loving arms

This much I know is true

That God blessed the broken road

That led me straight to you

Yes He did

 

I think about the years I spent, just passin' through

I'd like to have the time I lost, and give it back to you

But you just smile and take my hand, you've been there you understand

It's all part of a grander plan, that is comin' true

 

Every long lost dream, led me to where you are

Others who broke my heart, they were like northern stars

Pointing me on my way, into your loving arms

This much I know is true

That God blessed the broken road

That led me straight to you

 

Yeah

 

Now I'm just rollin' home into my lovers arms

This much I know is true

That God blessed the broken road

That led me straight to you

 

That God blessed the broken road

That led me straight to you

Changes - 2pac

 

Come on come on

I see no changes. Wake up in the morning and I ask myself,

"Is life worth living? Should I blast myself?"

I'm tired of bein' poor and even worse I'm black.

My stomach hurts, so I'm lookin' for a purse to snatch.

Cops give a damn about a negro? Pull the trigger, kill a * * * * * , he's a hero.

Give the crack to the kids who the hell cares? One less hungry mouth on the welfare.

First ship 'em dope & let 'em deal the brothers.

Give 'em guns, step back, and watch 'em kill each other.

"It's time to fight back", that's what Huey said.

2 shots in the dark now Huey's dead.

I got love for my brother, but we can never go nowhere

unless we share with each other. We gotta start makin' changes.

Learn to see me as a brother 'stead of 2 distant strangers.

And that's how it's supposed to be.

How can the Devil take a brother if he's close to me?

I'd love to go back to when we played as kids,

but things change, and that's the way it is.

 

[bridge w/ changing ad libs]

 

(Come on, come on) That's just the way it is. Things'll never be the same.

That's just the way it is. aww yeah...

[Repeat]

 

I see no changes. All I see is racist faces.

Misplaced hate makes disgrace for races we under.

I wonder what it takes to make this one better place...

let's erase the wasted.

Take the evil out the people, they'll be acting right.

'Cause mo' black than white is smokin' crack tonight.

And only time we chill is when we kill each other.

It takes skill to be real, time to heal each other.

And although it seems heaven sent,

we ain't ready to see a black President, uhh.

It ain't a secret don't conceal the fact...

the penitentiary's packed, and it's filled with blacks.

But some things will never change.

Try to show another way, but they stayin' in the dope game.

Now tell me what's a mother to do?

Bein' real don't appeal to the brother in you.

You gotta operate the easy way.

"I made a G today" But you made it in a sleazy way.

Sellin' crack to the kids. "I gotta get paid,"

Well hey, well that's the way it is.

 

[bridge]

[Talking

 

We gotta make a change...

It's time for us as a people to start makin' some changes.

Let's change the way we eat, let's change the way we live

and let's change the way we treat each other.

You see the old way wasn't working so it's on us to do

what we gotta do, to survive.

 

And still I see no changes. Can't a brother get a little peace?

There's war on the streets & the war in the Middle East.

Instead of war on poverty,

they got a war on drugs so the police can bother me.

And I ain't never did a crime I ain't have to do.

But now I'm back with the facts givin' 'em back to you.

Don't let 'em jack you up, back you up, crack you up and pimp smack you up.

You gotta learn to hold ya own.

They get jealous when they see ya with ya mobile phone.

But tell the cops they can't touch this.

I don't trust this, when they try to rush I bust this.

That's the sound of my tune. You say it ain't cool, but mama didn't raise no fool.

And as long as I stay black, I gotta stay strapped & I never get to lay back.

'Cause I always got to worry 'bout the pay backs.

Some buck that I roughed up way back... comin' back after all these years.

Rat-a-tat-tat-tat-tat. That's the way it is. uhh

 

[bridge 'til fade]

Some things never change

[djdemarco]

Manchild

 

and every time you crave for me... i'm here

 

and anything you hunger for... i'll share

 

and i will be quietly standing by

 

while slowly i am dying inside

 

 

hold me in your arms

 

and let me be the one

 

who can feel

 

like i am a child

 

in love

 

 

every time i talk to you... you're down

 

and every time you need a laugh... i'm around

 

and every time you forget i'm here... i'm not

 

it isn't really me that you forgot

 

 

hold me in your arms

 

and let me be the one

 

who can feel

 

like i am a child

 

in love

 

 

whisper now

 

and tell me how

 

you'll watch me

 

and tell me

 

somehow

 

i'm gonna be alright

 

 

This hopefully speaks for itself. Reading the words doesn't do the music justice (the audio track includes heart-gripping sfx of a girl's despondent messages left on an answering machine), but still the lyrics alone should give an idea as to why I would find this song so powerful and haunting.

[hey jo]

Hold up, hold on

Don't be scared

You'll never change what's been and gone

 

May your smile shine on

Don't be scared

Your destiny may keep you warm

 

Cos all of the stars are fading away

Just try not to worry

You'll see them some day

Take what you need and be on your way

And stop crying your heart out

 

Get up, come on

Why're you scared?

You'll never change what's been and gone

 

We're all of us stars, we're fading away

Just try not to worry you'll see us some day

Just take what you need and be on your way

And stop crying your heart out

[woahisme13]

Here I lay

Still and breathless

Just like always

Still I want some more

Mirrors sideways

Who cares what's behind

Just like always

I'm still your passenger

 

Chrome buttons, buckles, and leather surfaces

These and other lucky witnesses

Now to calm me take me round again

don't pull over

this time won't you please

drive faster

 

roll the windows down

this cool night air is curious

let the whole world look in

who cares who see's what tonight

roll these misty windows down

to catch my breath and then

go and go and go

just drive me home and back again

 

Drop these down and

put them on me

nice cool seats there

to cushion your knees

now to calm me

take me to the edge

don't pull over

this time won't you please

drive faster

\

rollthe windows down

this cool night air is curious

let the whole world look in

who care's who see's anything

drop these misty windows down

to catch my breath again

 

I'm still your passenger

[Lights]

I posted a link to this song on youtube, on the listen to what others like thread. It just really gets inside. It's one of those songs I listen to when I'm stressed and need to sing really loud and let it all out. lol Gets me all emotional but I need that sometimes.

 

 

I share the burdens, carried on the heart of one in need... knowing,

I'm weighed down as well

And I don't question my direction, but intentions for this saving

Slowly losing this heart

 

And now what have I done?

My reach, falling short just when you needed me

And I won't bring myself to care

Forgive me, I rely on my own knowing

And we see where it's taking me

 

I share the burdens, carried on the heart of one in need... knowing,

I'm weighed down as well

And I don't question my direction, but intentions for this saving

Slowly losing this heart

 

Now what have I done

My reach, falling short just when you needed me

And I won't bring myself to care

Forgive me I rely on my own knowing

And we see...

 

That this bridge, is burning and I don't wish to smother it, but get warm

This bridge, is burning and I don't wish to smother it, but get warm

 

And now what have I done

My reach, falling short just when you needed me

And I won't bring myself to care

Forgive me, I rely on my own knowing

And we see

 

Lord what have I done, my reach ...obtaining only that which could end me

So don't be caught in crossfire

Forgive me I rely on my own knowing

And we see where it's taking me

The lyrics to the Cure's Lovesong. I really like them- don't have them in front of me to post but most people would know them. The parts that I like the most are '' No matter how faraway, no matter what words I say, I will always love you'' and '' Whenever I'm alone with you make make me feel that I am free again, whenever I'm alone with you you make me feel like I'm whole again''- etc (may be misquoting here). I apply the song to my female best friend because she is literally miles away. It is more of a love than a friendship song, but we have a relationship like family, very very close.
