Lyrical love

[RedWolf]

Have you ever heard a song that says everything you have been feeling? I think we should all post the lyrics to one song that best describes whats been happening in your life. My song is Sleeping Beauty by A Perfect Circle.

 

 

Delusional

I believe I can cure it all for you, dear

Coax or trick or drive or

drag the demons from you

Make it right for you sleeping beauty

Truly thought

I can magically heal you

 

You're far beyond a visible sign of your awakening

Failing miserably to rescue

 

Sleeping Beauty

 

Drunk on ego

Truly thought I could make it right

If I kissed you one more time to

Help you face the nightmare

But you're far too poisoned for me

Such a fool to think that I can wake you from your slumber

That I could actually heal you..

 

Sleeping Beauty

Poisoned and hopeless

You're far beyond a visible sign of your awakening

Failing miserably to find a way to comfort you

 

Far beyond a visible sign of your awakening

And hiding from some poisoned memory

 

Poisoned and hopeless

Sleeping Beauty

 

My situation exactly. BTW this post was inspired by gilg's sentiments post.

Having gone through a breakup and now going through the emotional roller coaster ride of finding where the future lies with the woman I love Perfect Circle has alot of songs that touch home. I've found that a few Audioslave songs also touch home with what I'm feeling, and at times hearing certain songs just break me down. Music can be extremely powerful when you feel the lyrics. So, here's a couple Audioslave songs that really touch home for me.

 

GOLDEN VISIONS

Written by Chris Cornell

Studio Demo

 

Shame

 

I don't know why

All the fiction of your sleeping

Doesn't visit you awake

I don't know how

To get your storybook sunrise

To follow you above your cloudy day

 

All these gifts should lay upon you

With heaven painted on you

I wish this now with all my soul

 

(chorus)

May all your visions turn to gold

To have and hold

May all your visions turn to gold

May all your visions turn to gold

To have and hold

May all your visions turn to gold

 

Terrified

The world will never turn to look at you

And the sun won't see you shine

Children's lives

For rose could bless just from your smilin'

And the water form a crown

 

Only better luck should greet you

The road should rise to meet you

I wish this now with all I know

 

(chorus)

 

Mmmmmmmm. . .

 

Lives inside your winter

Feel the cold wind blowing

Cutting through your head and your ears

 

Feel the fire growing

No more frozen danger

No more wretched

I stumbled

Fear

 

 

SHADOW ON THE SUN

Written by Chris Cornell

Album Audioslave

 

Once upon a time I was of the mind

To lay your burden down

And leave you where you stood

And you believed I could

You'd seen it done before

I could read your thoughts

Tell you what you saw

And never say a word

Now all that is gone

Over with and done - never to return

 

(chorus 1)

I can't tell you why

People die alone

I can tell you I'm

A shadow of the sun

 

Staring at the loss

Looking for a cause

And never really sure

Nothing but a hole

To live without a soul

And nothing to be learned

 

(chorus 2)

I can tell you why

People go insane

I can show you how

You could do the same

I can tell you why

The end will never come

I can tell you I'm

A shadow on the sun

 

Shapes of every size

Move behind my eyes

Doors inside my head

Bolted from within

Every drop of flame

Lights a candle in

Memory of the one

Who lives inside my skin

 

LIKE A STONE

Written by Chris Cornell

Album Audioslave

 

On a cobweb afternoon

In a room full of emptiness

By a freeway I confess

I was lost in the pages

Of a book full of death

Reading how we'll die alone

And if we're good we'll lie to rest

Anywhere we want to go

 

(chorus)

In your house I long to be

Room by room patiently

I'll wait for you there

Like a stone I'll wait for you there

Alone

 

On my deathbed I will pray

To the gods and the angels

Like a pagan to anyone

Who will take me to heaven

To a place I recall

I was there so long ago

The sky was bruised

The wine was bled

And there you led me on

 

(chorus)

In your house I long to be

Room by room patiently

I'll wait for you there

Like a stone I'll wait for you there

Alone

 

And on I read

Until the day was gone

And I sat in regret

Of all the things I've done

For all that I've blessed

And all that I've wronged

In dreams until my death

I will wander on
