Re: Song lyrics that either hit home or have personal meaning
When I was 34 my mother died I felt that my life was almost over, that there was no point in buying anything, going or doing anything. To that end "Dust In The Wind" can make me cry nearly every time I hear it. The lyrics are so simple, but so true.
I close my eyes, only for a moment and the moments gone All my dreams pass before my eyes a curiosity Dust in the wind, all we are is dust in the wind Same old song, just a drop of water in the endless sea All we do crumbles to the ground 'tho we refuse to see Dust in the wind, all we are is dust in the wind Now, don't hang on nothing last forever but the earth and sky It slips away, and all your money won't another minute buy Dust in the wind, all we are is dust in the wind Dust in the wind, everything is dust in the wind So true, these words, so true. |

Re: Song lyrics that either hit home or have personal meaning
Sometimes I don't know where this dirty road is taking me
sometimes I don't even know the reason why but I guess I'll keep a gambling, lots of booze and lots of rambling it's easier then just waiting around to die Townes Van Zandt - Waitin' Around to Die |

Re: Song lyrics that either hit home or have personal meaning
Okay, this is sad &/or corny, your choice.
I grew up loving Winnie the Pooh. Dumb bear you can't help but love during all stages of your life.. I now have a daughter who's taken a liking to this dumb old bear. What I'm trying to get at is that I feel like I've lost my childhood but atleast I get to watch someone else enjoy it from the sidelines.... .sad that your childhood is gone, but happy that you've given the opportunity for someone else to enjoy one. Whatever, I still love this song. *bolded part is the part that really hits me* Christopher Robin and I walked along Under branches lit up by the moon Posing our questions to Owl and Eeyore As our days disappeared all too soon But I've wandered much further today than I should And I can't seem to find my way back to the Wood So help me if you can I've got to get back To the House at Pooh Corner by one You'd be surprised There's so much to be done Count all the bees in the hive Chase all the clouds from the sky Back to the days of Christopher Robin and Pooh Winnie the Pooh doesn't know what to do Got a honey jar stuck on his nose He came to me asking help and advice From here no one knows where he goes So I sent him to ask of the Owl if he's there How to loosen a jar from the nose of a bear It's hard to explain how a few precious things Seem to follow throughout all our lives After all's said and done I was watching my son Sleeping there with my bear by his side So I tucked him in, I kissed him and as I was going I swear that the old bear whispered "Boy welcome home" Return to Pooh Corner - Kenny Loggins |

Re: Song lyrics that either hit home or have personal meaning
Sarah McLachlan wrote this song while she was on the road. I heard her say that it's basically the way the musician always feels...which, for me, at least, is true. This song also has quite a bit of personal meaning for me, because local radio stations in Bryan-College Station did memorials for the Texas A&M Bonfire Collapse in '99 using this song, intersplicing quotes from people they'd interviewed in between the verses. Since I was present at the collapse, and was greatly affected by it, this song has a double whammy of meaning for me.
Angel Spend all your time waiting For that second chance For a break that would make it okay There's always some reason To feel not good enough And it's hard at the end of the day I need some distraction Oh beautiful release Memories seep from my veins Let me be empty and weightless And maybe I'll find some peace tonight (Chorus) In the arms of the angel Far away from here From this dark cold hotel room And the endlessness that you fear You are pulled from the wreckage Of your silent reverie You're in the arms of the angel May you find some comfort here So tired of the straight line And everywhere you turn There's vultures and thieves at your back And the storm keeps on twisting You keep on building the lies That you make up for all that you lack It don't make no difference Escaping one last time It's easier to believe in this sweet madness Oh this glorious sadness that brings me to my knees (Chorus) In the arms of the angel Far away from here From this dark cold hotel room And the endlessness that you fear You are pulled from the wreckage Of your silent reverie You're in the arms of the angel May you find some comfort here You're in the arms of the angel May you find some comfort here |
