"Can you see me going down
I am screaming out loud
And the fear of god is in me now
Dissolve
In the moonshine
I leave no trace
My visions have gone
Far away from this place
They've dissolved
Can you see me going down
I am screaming out loud
And the fear of god is in me now
Dissolve
Dissolve
Dissolve" -Switchblade Symphony
"You'll be given love
You'll be taken care of
You'll be given love
You have to trust it
Maybe not from the sources
You have poured yours
Maybe not from the directions
You are staring at
Twist your head around
It's all around you
All is full of love
All around you
All is full of love
You just aint receiving
All is full of love
Your phone is off the hook
All is full of love
Your doors are all shut
All is full of love!
All is full of love, all is full of love
All is full of love, all is full of love ..." -Bjork

when men on the chess board get up and tell you where to go and you just had some kind of mushroom and your mind is moving low go ask alice i think shell know

Something for Kate,Quote:
There's good deeds, and there is good intention,
They're as far apart as heaven and hell.
Quote:
I was hanging upside down from the overpass,
Waiting to discover something about the world.
I couldn't get with the program and I couldn't listen to them,
It was like trying to think in reverse.
And I dont want to slide into apathy,
And I dont want to die in captivity,
But these monsters follow me around,
Hunting me down,
Try to wipe me out.

Dogs
Roger Waters, David Gilmour
You gotta be crazy, you gotta have a real need.
You gotta sleep on your toes, and when you're on the street,
You gotta be able to pick out the easy meat with your eyes closed.
And then moving in silently, down wind and out of sight,
You gotta strike when the moment is right without thinking.
And after a while, you can work on points for style.
Like the club tie, and the firm handshake,
A certain look in the eye and an easy smile.
You have to be trusted by the people that you lie to,
So that when they turn their backs on you,
You'll get the chance to put the knife in.
You gotta keep one eye looking over your shoulder.
You know it's going to get harder, and harder, and harder as you
get older.
And in the end you'll pack up and fly down south,
Hide your head in the sand,
Just another sad old man,
All alone and dying of cancer.
And when you loose control, you'll reap the harvest you have sown.
And as the fear grows, the bad blood slows and turns to stone.
And it's too late to lose the weight you used to need to throw
around.
So have a good drown, as you go down, all alone,
Dragged down by the stone.
I gotta admit that I'm a little bit confused.
Sometimes it seems to me as if I'm just being used.
Gotta stay awake, gotta try and shake off this creeping malaise.
If I don't stand my own ground, how can I find my way out of this
maze?
Deaf, dumb, and blind, you just keep on pretending
That everyone's expendable and no-one has a real friend.
And it seems to you the thing to do would be to isolate the winner
And everything's done under the sun,
And you believe at heart, everyone's a killer.
Who was born in a house full of pain.
Who was trained not to spit in the fan.
Who was told what to do by the man.
Who was broken by trained personnel.
Who was fitted with collar and chain.
Who was given a seat in the stand.
Who was breaking away from the pack.
Who was only a stranger at home.
Who was ground down in the end.
Who was found dead on the phone.
Who was dragged down by the stone

I'm growing older but not up, my metabolic rate is pleasantly stuck, let the winds of time blow over my head I'd rather die while I'm living than live while I'm dead.

Movie Quotes
Mr. President, that's impossible, look at the big board. I'm beginning to smell a big fat commie rat.
(George C. Scott in Doctor Strangelove)
When you dance with the devil the devil don't change, he changes you.
(Unknown artist in 8 mm)
BTW the Dr. Strangelove quote must be taken in context with the movie. It has nothing to do with communists but has everything to do with misguided trust and rampant mistrust. George C. Scott's role in that movie is, IMO, both hilarious and fantastic.
"What does it take to be a man?"
"What does it take to see? It's a heart and soul, a gentle hand."

.:Something I Can Never Have:.Quote:
i hurt myself today, to see if i still feel. i focus on the pain, the only thing that's real
the needle tears a hole, that old familiar thing. try to kill it all away, but i remember everything
what have i become, my sweetest friend? everyone i know goes away in the end
you could have it all, my empire of dirt. i will let you down, i will make you hurt
i wear my crown of **** on my liar's chair, full of broken thoughts i cannot repair
beneath the stain of time the feelings disappear. you are someone else, i am still right here
what have i become, my sweetest friend? everyone i know goes away in the end
you could have it all, my empire of dirt. i will let you down, i will make you hurt
if i could start again, a million miles away, i would keep myself, i would find a way
(Nine Inch Nails)Quote:
i still recall the taste of my tears. echoing your voice just like the ringing in my ears
my favorite dreams of you still wash ashore, scraping through my head 'till i don't want to sleep anymore
come on tell me. make this all go away. you make this all go away. i'm down to just one thing & i'm starting to scare myself
you make this all go away. you make this all go away. i just want something. i just want something i can never have
you always were the one to show me how. back then i couldn't do the things that i can do now
this thing is slowly taking me apart. grey would be the color if i had a heart
in this place it seems like such a shame. though it all looks different now, i know it's still the same
everywhere i look you're all i see. just a fading ****ing reminder of who i used to be
i just want something i can never have. think i know what you meant. that night on my bed
still picking at this scab. i wish you were dead. your sweat & perry ellis. just stains on my sheets
Starry, starry night
Flaming flowers that brightly blaze
Swirling clouds in violet haze
Reflect in Vincent's eyes of china blue
Colors changing hue
Morning fields of amber grain
Weathered faces lined in pain
Are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand.
For they could not love you
But still, your love was true
And when no hope was left inside
On that starry, starry night
You took your life as lovers often do--
But I could've told you, Vincent:
This world was never meant
For one as beautiful as you.
Vincent - Don Mclean
"I'm not the one who's so far away
When I feel the snake bit enter my veins.
Never did I wanna be here again,
And I don't remember why I came."
Candles raise my desire,
Why I'm so far away.
No more meaning to my life,
No more reason to stay.
Hazing clouds rain on my head,
Empty thoughts fill my ears.
Find my shade by the moonlight,
Why my thoughts aren't so clear.
Demons dreaming,
Breathe in, breathe in...
I'm coming back again...
Voodoo - Godsmack
Imagine there's no heaven,
It's easy if you try,
No hell below us,
Above us only sky,
Imagine all the people
living for today...
Imagine there's no countries,
It isnt hard to do,
Nothing to kill or die for,
No religion too,
Imagine all the people
living life in peace...
Imagine no possesions,
I wonder if you can,
No need for greed or hunger,
A brotherhood of man,
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world...
You may say Im a dreamer,
but Im not the only one,
I hope some day you'll join us,
And the world will live as one.
Imagine/John Lennon
Fearless people,
Careless needle.
Harsh words spoken,
And lives are broken.
Forceful ageing,
Help me I'm fading.
Heaven's waiting,
It's time to move on.
Crossing that bridge,
With lessons I've learned.
Playing with fire,
And not getting burned.
I may not know what you're going through.
But time is the space,
Between me and you.
Life carries on... it goes on.
There is a light through that window
Hold on say yes, while people say no
Prayer for the dying by Seal

So, so you think you can tell Heaven from Hell,
blue skies 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 trade your heroes 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.
Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here
Probably one of my favorite songs, and by far one of the most effecting to me, at times it can almost bring me to tears.
Quote:
Some Kind of Stranger - Sisters of Mercy
Because the world is cruel and
Promises are broken
Don't try to tell me
Anything don't try to tell me
You'll be true to me you know the
Real truth is never spoken
And I know the world is cold but
If you hold on tight to what you
Find you might not mind too much though
Even this must pass away and
Memories may last for years but
Names are just for souvenirs
Some kind of angel let me
Look into your eyes
Don't give me whys and wherefores
Reason or surprise
I don't care for words that don't belong
And I don't care what you're called
Tell me later if at all
I can wait a long long time
Before I hear another love song
Come here I think you're beautiful
My door is open wide
Some kind of angel come inside
Quote:
Untitled
Gleaming in the moonlight
beneath the shroud of her own sin
the twisted blade caresses virgin flesh
coldly tearing at the skin.
Blood runs down her fingertips
crimson teardrops hit the floor
painting the satin dress of white
with it's dark poisoned downpour
The flow moves faster with each breath
unrelenting self-despair
tears of joy left stripped to pain
remnants of the last nightmare
The weakness comes so easily
and yet, there's nothing left to fear
The darkness comes much closer now
and soon he will be here.
Enchanting her within his tale
He'll sweep her in his lies
From her chest ripping a heart once of love
Leaving her empty when she dies.
She'll look at him in sadness
in a state of full denial
He'll touch her with his dirty hands
and hang on for a while
He'll pull her close into his arms
against his heartless chest
And whisper hateful words to her
all his sins he will confess
Until he breathes a solemn icy kiss
against her lips so cold and pale
and eyes once bright close quick with death
behind the bloodstained wedding veil.
He'll lift her up into his arms
carrying her into the night
and abandon her, and walk away
leaving her beneath the cold twilight.
This is taking from the first album in Rush's remarkable trilogy "2112"
The trilogy is about the future when creativity and technology are outlawed(as well as music)
Waiting for the winds of change to sweep the clouds away
Waiting for the rainbows end to cast it's glow your way
countless ways......you pass the days
waiting for someone to come and turn your life around
looking for the answer to the question you have found
looking for........an open door
But you don't get something for nothing
you can't have your freedom for free
you won't get wise with the sleep still in your eyes
no matter what your dreams may be
what you own is your own kingdom
what you believe is your own lie
what you love is your own power
what you do is your own choice
Pick your head up..lets find the answer....and let it guide us to love
Lets let our hearts be the anchor..and the beat of our souls
No you don't get something for nothing you can't have your freedom for free

This is taking from Robin Trowers "Bridge of Sighs"
The sun don't shine the moon don't move
the tides to wash me clean
The sun don't shine the moon don't move
the tides to wash me clean
why so unforgiving....why am I so cold?
I been along time crossing bridge of sighs
the cold wind blows and God looks down in anger on this poor child
the cold wind blows and God looks down in anger on this poor child
why so unforgiving....why am I so cold?
I been along time crossing bridge of sighs
The lyrics that mean the most to me right now are:
Pink Floyd, Time, Darkside of the MoonQuote:
Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day,
fritter and waste the hours in an off hand way
Throw your thoughts back many years
To the time when there was life in every morning
Perhaps a day will come
When the nights will be as on that morning
And if you want to stay for a little bit
Rest your aching limbs for a little bit
Before you the night is beckoning
And you know you can't delay
You hear the night birds calling you
But you can't touch the restless sky
Close your aching eyes beyond your name
--Pink Floyd from Atom Heart Mother (i thinks that album)
ironic.. Floyd Dogs started playing JUST as i read allenb1963's post!

I AM THE LIZARD KING I CAN DO ANYTHING --JIM MORRISON
swastikas and klan-robes.

aryan-nations and hammerskins:

god, i love a man in uniform!
(but, uh, before we get too intimate here, big fella):
what exactly are the great historical accomplishments of "your" race that make you proud to be white? capitalism? slavery? genocide? sitcoms? guns? war? pollution? addiction? nafta? thigh-master?
this is your ****ing white-history, my "friend".
so why don't we start making a history worth being proud of
and start fighting the real ****ing enemy: the white male capitalist supemacist.
swastikas and klan-robes. sexist, racist, homophobes.
this one's for the "master race":
my brown-power ass in your white-power face!
kill them all and let a norse god sort 'em out!
--Propaghandi
but what can just one of us do?
against all that money and power trying to crush us into roaches?
we don't destroy society in a day
until we change ourselves first from the inside out
we can start by not lying so much
and treating other people like dirt
it's easy not to base our lives on how much we can scam
and you know it feels good to lift that monkey off our backs
-- Dead Kennedys
"Life's not a bitch,

I Am A Man Of Constant Sorrow
(chorus) In constant sorrow through his days
I am a man of constant sorrow
I've seen trouble all my day.
I bid farewell to old Kentucky
The place where I was born and raised.
(chorus) The place where he was born and raised
For six long years I've been in trouble
No pleasures here on earth I found
For in this world I'm bound to ramble
I have no friends to help me now.
(chorus) He has no friends to help him now
It's fare thee well my old lover
I never expect to see you again
For I'm bound to ride that northern railroad
Perhaps I'll die upon this train.
(chorus) Perhaps he'll die upon this train.
You can bury me in some deep valley
For many years where I may lay
Then you may learn to love another
While I am sleeping in my grave.
(chorus) While he is sleeping in his grave.
Maybe your friends think I'm just a stranger
My face you'll never see no more.
But there is one promise that is given
I'll meet you on God's golden shore.
(chorus) He'll meet you on God's golden shore

My song is from Garth Brooks. Before you immediately dismiss it because it is a country song, please read it thru one time. It moves me, and can bring me to tears on the right occasion. To me, with the current situation the US is in, perhaps the words to this song could bring us closer to a resolution.
We Shall Be Free
Written by: Garth Brooks, Stephanie Davis
This ain't comin' from no prophet
Just an ordinary man
When I close my eyes I see
The way this world shall be
When we all walk hand in hand
When the last child cries for a crust of bread
When the last man dies for just words that he said
When there's shelter over the poorest head
We shall be free
When the last thing we notice is the color of skin
And the first thing we look for is the beauty within
When the skies and the oceans are clean again
Then we shall be free
We shall be free
We shall be free
Stand straight, walk proud
'Cause we shall be free
When we're free to love anyone we choose
When this world's big enough for all different views
When we all can worship from our own kind of pew
Then we shall be free
We shall be free
We shall be free
Have a little faith
Hold out
'Cause we shall be free
And when money talks for the very last time
And nobody walks a step behind
When there's only one race and that's mankind
Then we shall be free
We shall be free
We shall be free
Stand straight, walk proud, have a little faith, hold out
We shall be free
We shall be free
We shall be free
Stand straight, have a little faith
We shall be free
And an excerpt from another of Garth's songs....he really tends to hit the nail on the head sometimes with his music, but it gets lost in the conceptions people hold of all country artists.
And if blood is
Thicker than water
Then what are we fighting for?
We’re all sons and daughters
Of something that
Means so much more
I see it on my TV
But I can’t understand
Lord, it’s one
Big contradiction to me
How in god’s name
We love thy neighbor with fists
In our hands
And kill each other
When we just don’t agree
Why can’t we see the walls
We can’t see through?
And see what God’s
Been telling me and you
(And that is)
Blood is thicker than water
Oh, but love
Love is thicker than blood
Now you have a peek inside my brain, and the music I love. Scared yet?
LOL!

Settle For Nothing
A jail cell is freedom from the pain in my home
Hatred passed on, passed on and passed on
A world of violent rage
But it's one that I can recognise
Having never seen the colour of my father's eyes
Yes, I dwell in hell, but it's a hell that I can grip
I tried to grip my family
But I slipped
To escape from the pain in an existence mundane
I gotta 9, a sign, a set and now I gotta name
Read my writing on the wall
No-one's here to catch me when I fall
Death is on my side....suicide!
A jail cell is freedom from the pain in my home
Hatred passed on, passed on and passed on

Caught between my culture and the system....genocide!

If ignorance is bliss, then knock the smile off my face

Here's the plan Mother**** Uncle Sam Step back, I know who I am Raise up your ear, I'll drop the style and clear It's the beats and the lyrics they fear The rage is relentless We need a movement with a quickness You are the witness of change And to counteract We gotta take the power back Yeah, we gotta take the power back Come on, come on! We gotta take the power back The present curriculum I put my fist in 'em Eurocentric every last one of 'em See right through the red, white and blue disguise With lecture I puncture the structure of lies Installed in our minds and attempting To hold us back We've got to take it back 'Cause holes in our spirit causin' tears and fears One-sided stories for years and years and years I'm inferior? Who's inferior? Yea, we need to check the interior Of the system that cares about only one culture And that is why We gotta take the power back Yeah, we gotta take the power back Come on, come on! We gotta take the power back Hey yo check, we're gonna have to break it, break it, break it down Awww ****! Uggh! And like this...uggh! Come on, yeah! Bring it back the other way! The teacher stands in front of the class But the lesson plan he can't recall The student's eyes don't perceive the lies Bouning off every ****ing wall His composure is well kept I guess he fears playing the fool The complacent students sit and listen to some of that Bullshit that he learned in school Europe ain't my rope to swing on Can't learn a thing from it Yet we hang from it Gotta get it, gotta get it together then Like the mother****in' weathermen To expose and close the doors on those who try To strangle and mangle the truth 'Cause the circle of hatred continues unless we react We gotta take the power back Yeah, we gotta take the power back Come on, come on! We gotta take the power back No more lies (8 times, building to a crescendo) Uggh! Yeah! Take it back y'all Take it back, a-take it back A-take it back y'all, come on! Take it back y'all Take it back, a-take it back A-take it back y'all, come on! Uggh! Yeah!
RATM - Take the Power Back
and my personal favorite:
Come on, although ya try to discredit Ya still never edit The needle, I'll thread it Radically poetic Standin' with the fury that they had in '66 And like E-Double I'm mad Still knee-deep in the system's **** Hoover, he was a body remover I'll give ya a dose But it'll never come close To the rage built up inside of me Fist in the air, in the land of hypocrisy Movements come and movements go Leaders speak, movements cease When their heads are flown 'Cause all these punks Got bullets in their heads Departments of police, the judges, the feds Networks at work, keepin' people calm You know they went after King When he spoke out on Vietnam He turned the power to the have-nots And then came the shot Yeah! Yeah, back in this... Wit' poetry, my mind I flex Flip like Wilson, vocals never lackin' dat finesse Whadda I got to, whadda I got to do to wake ya up To shake ya up, to break the structure up 'Cause blood still flows in the gutter I'm like takin' photos Mad boy kicks open the shutter Set the groove Then stick and move like I was Cassius Rep the stutter step Then bomb a left upon the fascists Yea, the several federal men Who pulled schemes on the dream And put it to an end Ya better beware Of retribution with mind war 20/20 visions and murals with metaphors Networks at work, keepin' people calm Ya know they murdered X And tried to blame it on Islam He turned the power to the have-nots And then came the shot Uggh! What was the price on his head? What was the price on his head! I think I heard a shot (5 times) I think I heard, I think I heard a shot Background: 'Black nationalism' 'He may be a real contender for this position should he abandon his supposed obediance to white liberal doctrine of non-violence...and embrace black nationalism' 'Through counter-intelligence it should be possible to pinpoint potential trouble-makers...' 'And neutralise them' Wake up! Wake up! Wake up! Wake up! Wake up! Wake up! Wake up! Wake up! Spoken: "How long? Not long, 'cause what you reap is what you sow."
- RATM - Wake Up - best song ever.
Metallica S&M-Sad But True
Metallica-Self Titled-Sad but TrueQuote:
And it feels right this time
On this crash course with the big time
Pay no mind to the distant thunder
Today fills his head with wonder, boy
Says it feels right this time
Turned around and found the bright light
Good day to be alive, yes sir
Good day to be alive, he said
Then it comes to be that the soothing light at the end of your tunnel
Was just a freight train coming your way
Then it comes to be that the soothing light at the end of your tunnel
Was just a freight train coming your way, yeah
Don't it feel right like this?
All the pieces fall to his wish
Sucker for that quick reward, boy
Sucker for that quick reward, they say
Then it comes to be that the soothing light at the end of your tunnel
Was just a freight train coming your way
Then it comes to be that the soothing light at the end of your tunnel
Was just a freight train coming your way It's coming your way... it's coming
your way It comes.
And then it comes to be that the soothing light at the end of your tunnel
Was just a freight train coming your way, yeah.
Then it comes to be, yeah yeah.

Sad But True
One of my favorite songs....by metallica (old school)
Eye of the Beholder
Do you see what I see?
Truth is an offence
You silence for your confidence
Do you hear what I hear?
Doors are slamming shut
Limit your imagination, Keep you where they must
Do you feel what I fee?
Bittering distress
Who decides what you express?
Do you take what I take?
Endurance is the word
Moving back instead of forward seems to me absurd.
Chorus:
Doesn't matter what you see
Or into it what you read
You can do it your own way
If it's done just how i say
Independence Limited
Freedom Limited
Choice made for you my friend
Freedom of speech
Speech is words that they will bend
Freedom with their exception
Do you fear what I fear?
Living properly
Truths to you are lies to me
Do you choose what I choose?
More Alternatives
Energy derives from both the plus and negative
Do you need what i need?
Boundaries overthrown
Look inside, to each his own
Do you trust what i trust?
Me, myself and I
Penetrate the smoke screen, I see through the selfish lie
Chorus:
Do you know hwat I know?
Your money and your wealth
You silence just to hear yourself
Do you want what I want?
Desire not a thing
I hunger after independence, Lengthen freedom's ring
Chorus
