Lyrics that mean a lot to you

[Joseph41]

Music and words bring me to tears pretty regularly. I'm going to be contributing to this thread quite often I think, haha.

Click Here: I Wish I Was - The Avett Brothers

But if I get too close, will the magic fade?
Would I turn you off - or away?
If I pull you in, would I push you out
Of something here you care about?

Well I'm at a loss for what to do.
But I'm drawn to you.

One of my fave songs just really connects with me and I have no explanation as to why.

Song: Someone to fall back on- Aly Michalka

I am no prince
I am no saint
I am not anyone's wildest dream
But I will stand behind and be
Someone to fall back on

Just listened. I like it. How did you discover it?

I actually discovered it from a movie. I was given a DVD of Bandslam I think 4-5 years ago and I've loved the song (and the movie) since

[TooLazy]

Anything from J Cole is real af

[itssona]

Mika writes the most beautiful lyrics imo and his songs are often dark but sound joyful and this lyrical dissonance is genius

Any other world:
In any other world you could tell the difference
And let it all unfurl into broken remnants
Smile like you mean it and let yourself let go

overrated:
Words get broken
Cut me open
Love confound me
Kill me quickly

and blue eyes is good

also David Bowie Space Oddity

[pootato]

a song that i can relate to on every single lyric is Mariah Carey's 'Outside'

Spoiler

Standing alone
Eager to just
Believe it's good enough to be what
You really are
But in your heart
Uncertainty forever lies
And you'll always be
Somewhere on the
Outside

also kind of off topic but i find that i can't cry when listening to/watching sad stuff even if i want to. i can only cry when i laugh too much or yawn. i can't remember the last time i cried sad tears. is this normal or am i just weird? i don't have depression.

[HopefulLawStudent]

I just want them to know
That I gave my all, did my best
Brought someone some happiness
Left this world a little better just because, I was here

I was here, I lived, I loved, I was here
I did, I've done, everything that I wanted

I have this on loop whenever I'm studying haha

So much of Don't Let the Kids Win by Julia Jacklin is stunning lyrically. Really simple but it encapsulates all the weird feelings about growing older and the fear of relationships growing apart so well. Definitely worth listening to rather than just reading, but I'll include the lyrics too lol

Spoiler

Don't let the kids win
Just let them lose
They're not gonna learn anything
If that's the way you choose to play

Don't let the kids win
Just let them fall
You don't want them growing up thinking three-year-olds are good at playing basketball

Don't let your grandmother die
While you're away
A cheap trip to Thailand's not's gonna make up for never getting to say goodbye

And don't let your brother
Stop thinking you're cool
Yeah I know he's got a girlfriend now and he's taller but that don't mean
He stopped looking up to you

And I've got a feeling
That this won't ever change
We're gonna keep on getting older
It's gonna keep on feeling strange

Don't let your friends turn cold
While you burn to green
When they walk off the stage embrace them
And say that's the best shit I've ever seen

And don't let your sister
Walk down the aisle
Without pulling her close, saying I love you and it's okay
If I don't see you for a while

And I've got a feeling
That this won't ever change
We're gonna keep on getting older
It's gonna keep on feeling strange

Don't let the time go by
Without sitting your mother down
And asking what life was like for her
Before you came to be around
And tell her it's okay if she puts herself first
Us kids we'll be alright if we're not the centre of her universe

And I've got a feeling
That this won't ever change
We're gonna keep on getting older
It's gonna keep on feeling strange

And after a late one
I don't know anything
Except the more I keep on talking
The less breath I have left to sing

[geminii]

Can I do more than one song? haha

My Wish - Rascal Flatts

Spoiler

My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it to,
Your dreams stay big, your worries stay small,
You never need to carry more than you can hold,
And while you're out there getting where you're getting to,
I hope you know somebody loves you, and wants the same things too,
Yeah, this, is my wish.

How To Save A Life - The Fray

Spoiler

Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

Perfect World - Kodaline

Spoiler

Touchdown to reality
It's not exactly what you had in mind, oh
Brother, brother
Was it only a matter of time?

In a perfect world
In a perfect world
In a perfect, a perfect world

Never Forget You - Zara Larsson

Spoiler

I'll never forget you
You'll always be by my side
From the day that I met you
I knew that I would love you till the day I die
And I will never want much more
And in my heart I will always be sure
I will never forget you
And you'll always be by my side till the day I die

Till the day I die

Paradise - Coldplay

Spoiler

When she was just a girl,
She expected the world,
But it flew away from her reach,
And bullets catching her teeth.

Life goes on,
It gets so heavy,
The wheel breaks the butterfly.
Every tear, a waterfall.
In the night, the stormy night,
She closed her eyes.
In the night, the stormy night,
Away she flied.

Y'know, just because Joseph started this thread I feel compelled to post Avett Brothers lyrics; these were the first two I thought of (other than "if you have love in your heart let it show while you can", perhaps my favourite line of all).

No Hard Feelings

Under the curving sky
I'm finally learning why
It matters for me and you
To say it and mean it too -
For life and its loveliness
And all of its ugliness
Good as it's been to me -
I have no enemies.

Once and Future Carpenter

Forever I will move like the world that turns beneath me
And when I lose my direction I'll look up to the sky
And when the black cloak drags upon the ground
I'll be ready to surrender, and remember
Well we're all in this together
If I live the life I'm given, I won't be scared to die

Interestingly I gravitate straight towards songs about death...

Unfffff

What are your favourite songs?

[itssona]

Unfffff

What are your favourite songs?

For Coldplay, The Scientist, Yellow (it reduces me to tears, Chris sings it so beautifully and it has so much meaning) and Paradise since it makes me feel a feeling which I cant explain- but a really good feeling

The Fray, How to Save a Life was the song that got me through my bullying and Run for your life is good but hey, you asked a hard question since I legit love all coldplay and the fray songs

Well I also adore Queen, arctic monkeys, Lana Del Rey, Halsey and then Angus and Julia Stone, Imagine Dragons, The Script

and MIKA

and French music

and other random rock and pop and even classical

[itssona]

also Postal Service if anyone remembers them haha, and PATD and OWL CITY
