Re: What are the truest lyrics you ever read?
couple of random verses from Mission in the Rain, Jerry Garcia.
Ten years ago i walked this street my dreams were ridin tall tonight I would be thankful lord,for any dream at all. some folks would be happy just to have one dream come true but everything you gather is just more that you can lose theres some satisfaction in the San Francisco rain no matter what comes down the Mission always looks the same. I don't know if they're the 'truest' lyrics i've ever read, but I like them alot. |

Royce Da 5`9 - Life
Life is a moment in space When the dream is gone, it's a lonelier place [This is life] Life is a moment in space When the dream is gone, it's a lonelier place Yo, the whole world is upon you, the pressure is on And you can probably sum your life up the best when you're gone Upon the creation of all men, destiny's born For us to reproduce, so you can keep the legacy goin' I know you think I'm Superman, but I got weaknesses too I keep a firm leash on things by believing in you And after I'm gone I live on breathing through you And anything I had in this life, I leave it to you Aim for the sky and fly till you come back down I hand you the baton and you run, till you come back 'round Let your heart tell your temper, "Put that gun back down!" Dry your tears up and turn that frown upside-down It'd be plenty to cry for, think life, not death You got much more to live for than to die for But you got to stay humble Cause just as hard as your work to get it There's people working harder to take it from you Cause life, something that people take for granted As time passes, you're gonna want something back But you won't get it cause history is made every second So you crave every lesson and save every blessin' No matter how you view the world yo, you never will get it The world will be the world through the eyes of whoever is in it But things ain't gonna always go right Look at it like, yo this ain't your day, but this your life, and live |

and, by the way, has no one here heard of Cole Porter or Ira Gershwin? So, one from Cole Porter: "You're a rose; You're Inferno's Dante; You're the Nose "On the great Durante." True enough for me because beauty is truth as that old lyricist Keats said. |

Meh, I might get flamed for this but whatever. My exact thoughts when I was going through my depression/anxiety phase.
I know you're coming in the night like a thief But I致e had some time, O Lord, to hone my lying technique I know you think that I知 someone you can trust But I知 scared I値l get scared and I swear I値l try to nail you back up So do you think that we could work out a sign So I値l know it's you and that it's over so I won't even try I know you're coming for the people like me But we all got wood and nails And we turn out hate in factories We all got wood and nails And we turn out hate in factories We all got wood and nails And we sleep inside of this machine |

The Eagles -- "The Last Resort"
You can leave it all behind and sail to Lahaina just like the missionaries did, so many years ago They even brought a neon sign: "Jesus is coming" Brought the white man's burden down Brought the white man's reign Who will provide the grand design? What is yours and what is mine? 'Cause there is no more new frontier We have got to make it here We satisfy our endless needs and justify our bloody deeds, in the name of destiny and the name of God And you can see them there, On Sunday morning They stand up and sing about what it's like up there They call it paradise I don't know why You call someplace paradise, kiss it goodbye |
