Larian Studios Forums General Chat Chat (Anything) My Fav Lyrics

also from chris cornell & it can be a theme song for one of our forum member, uglytruth. the song's called ugly truth.

You hide your eyes
But the ugly truth
Just loves to give it away
You gave yourself
If you were mine to give
I might throw it away
You share but money can't give
What the truth takes away
Throw it away

I painted my eyes
Ugly isn't what I want to see
I painted my mind
Ugly isn't what I want to be
I don't mind but the truth
Don't look that good on me
Throw it away

I don't think I really
Understand you
And I can't see why
I'd ever want to
And even if it isn't mine to say
I'll say it anyway
It's ugly

If you were mine to give
I might throw it away
But money can't give
What the truth takes away
Throw it away

here's another song full of sadness yet laced with realisation of truth, ugly as it may be ... by layne staley, called river of deceit ...

my pain is self-chosen
at least, so the prophet says
i could either burn
or cut off my pride and buy some time
a head full of lies is the weight, tied to my waist
the river of deceit pulls down
the only direction we flow is down

down, oh down

my pain is self-chosen
at least i believe it to be
i could either drown
or pull off my skin and swim to shore
now i can grow a beautiful shell for all to see
the river of deceit pulls down
the only direction we flow is down

down, oh down

layne staley, another dead rocker dude with death so sad. how come dead singer/songwriters wrote beautiful songs, some full of hope then dashed by their pitiful deaths? shannon hoon, jimi hendrix, jim morrison, .... .

here's a song which u can say, saved me from pathetic self-inflicted death. no joke about what emotional/spiritual pain can do to a person. worse than physical pain, that's for sure!

when the spoon is hot
and the needle's sharp
and you drift it away
i can hear you say
that the world in black
is upon your back
and your body shakes
so you ditch away
and you close the shades
. don't try to do it
. don't try to kill your time
. yeah, you might do it
. then you can't change your mind
. you've gotta hold on to your time
. till you break through these times of trouble
when you try to talk
and the words get hard
and they put you down
don't you stay
don't ditch away
. i saw you swinging
. swinging your mother's sword
. i know you're playing
. but sometimes the rules get hard
. but if somebody left you out on the ledge
. if somebody pushed you over the ledge
. if somebody loved you and left you for dead
you gotta hold on to your time
till you break through these times of trouble

by stone gossard & chris cornell

chris cornell is top imho

Audioslave is one of the best bands ever, even it its short existance now.

whoah- when did it become favorite grunge lyrics? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

Another sad song, that lightens up at the end;

When My Sun Comes Down - Lake of Tears

Close my eyes, think of the rain
Think of an evening the same
Dream it is autumn outside
An evening to hide

Someone to carry me home
To forests where I do belong
Close my eyes, little bit scared
And no one to care

And when my sun comes down
And you won't hold my hand, it's okay
'Cause when my sun comes down
I'll be walking a darker way, it's okay, it's alright

Close my heart, hold on to evil
Embracing the only, the Foul
Dream it is twilight outside
An evening to hide

Oh raven, say will it be mine
The golden, the line of my time
Fading and I am not scared
Five ravens to bear

And when my sun comes down
And you won't hold my hand, it's okay
'Cause when my sun comes down
I'll be walking a darker way, it's okay
'Cause when my sun comes down
I'll be walking a lighter way, it's okay, it's alright



Heart Of Steel - Manowar

Build a fire a thousand miles away to light my long way home
I ride a comet
My trail is long to stay
Silence is a heavy stone
I fight the world and take all they can give
There are times my heart hangs low
Born to walk against the wind
Born to hear my name
No matter where I stand I'm alone

Stand and fight
Live by your heart
Always one more try
I'm not afraid to die
Stand and fight
Say what you feel
Born with a heart of steel

Burn the bridge behind you
Leave no retreat
There's only one way home
Those who laugh and crowd the path and cut each other's throats
Will fall like melting snow
They'll watch us rise with fire in our eyes
They'll bow their heads
Their hearts will hang low
Then we'll laugh and they will kneel and know this heart of steel was
Too hard to break
Too hard to hold

Stand and fight
Live by your heart
Always one more try
I'm not afraid to die
Stand and fight
Say what you feel
Born with a heart of steel

Chemical Brothers----- Let Forever Be

And how does it feel like to wake up in the sun,
And how does it feel like to shine on everyone,
How does it feel like to let forever be,
And how does it feel like to spend a little lifetime
Sitting in the gutter screaming symphony

How does it feel like to sail in on the breeze,
And how does it feel like to spend a little lifetime
Sitting in the gutter screaming symphony

And how does it feel like to make it happening,
And how does it feel like to breath with everything,
And how does it feel like to let forever be,
And how does it feel like to spend a little lifetime
Sitting in the gutter screaming symphony

And how does it feel like to to be a Christian being
And how does it feel like to spend a little lifetime
Sitting in the gutter screaming symphony

and on the lighter side;

Dangerous - The Arrogant Worms

Darling, for you
I think of what I'd do
To keep you safe and sound
I would climb the highest mountain
I would swim the widest sea
I'd wrestle a gorilla to the ground
I would fend off a dozen charging rhinos
I would capture a swarm of killer bees
I would fight a fiery dragon with a wooden sword
If I didn't know what this would do to me

'Cause it's too dangerous (too dangerous)
I'd really like to do it, but I might get hurt
It's dangerous (too dangerous)
I don't feel like bleeding on my brand new shirt
You might call me cowardly and say I'm full of fright
You might call me yellow, and baby you'd be right

So I'd surf across volcanos full of lava
I'd even grab a tiger by the tail
I would make fun of a boxing champion's mother
But my courage and my bowels both would fail
I would fight off a bunch of angry cossacks
I would stop a thousand bullets with my hand
I would laugh as my leg was amputated
But baby, I'm not that kind of man

'Cause it's too dangerous (too dangerous)
I use big words but I never do the deed
It's dangerous (too dangerous)
I beg like a baby if I see somebody bleed

I haven't got a backbone; I'm as timid as a mouse
I could find a cure for this but I can't leave the house
'Cause it's dangerous, too dangerous, too dangerous
For me

Where is the Love?


Black Eyed Pee's




What's wrong with the world, mama
People livin' like they ain't got no mamas
I think the whole world addicted to the drama
Only attracted to things that'll bring you trauma
Overseas, yeah, we try to stop terrorism
But we still got terrorists here livin'
In the USA, the big CIA
The Bloods and The Crips and the KKK
But if you only have love for your own race
Then you only leave space to discriminate
And to discriminate only generates hate
And when you hate then you're bound to get irate, yeah
Badness is what you demonstrate
And that's exactly how a n**** works and operates
N****, you gotta have love just to set it straight
Take control of your mind and meditate
Let your soul gravitate to the love, y'all, y'all

People killin', people dyin'
Children hurt and you hear them cryin'
Can you practice what you preach
And would you turn the other cheek

Father, Father, Father help us
Send us some guidance from above
'Cause people got me, got me questionin'
Where is the love (Love)

Where is the love (The love)
Where is the love (The love)
Where is the love
The love, the love

It just ain't the same, always unchanged
New days are strange, is the world insane
If love and peace is so strong
Why are there pieces of love that don't belong
Nations droppin' bombs
Chemical gasses fillin' lungs of little ones
With the ongoin' sufferin' as the youth die young
So ask yourself is the lovin' really gone
So I could ask myself really what is goin' wrong
In this world that we livin' in people keep on givin'
in
Makin' wrong decisions, only visions of them dividends
Not respectin' each other, deny thy brother
A war is goin' on but the reason's undercover
The truth is kept secret, it's swept under the rug
If you never know truth then you never know love
Where's the love, y'all, come on (I don't really know)
Where's the truth, y'all, come on (I don't really know)
Where's the love, y'all

People killin', people dyin'
Children hurt and you hear them cryin'
Can you practice what you preach
And would you turn the other cheek

Father, Father, Father help us
Send us some guidance from above
'Cause people got me, got me questionin'
Where is the love (Love)

Where is the love (The love)
Where is the love (The love)
Where is the love (The love)
Where is the love (Love)
Where is the love (The love)
Where is the love (The love)
Where is the love
The love, the love

I feel the weight of the world on my shoulder
As I'm gettin' older, y'all, people gets colder
Most of us only care about money makin'
Selfishness got us followin' our own direction
Wrong information always shown by the media
Negative images is the main criteria
Infecting the young minds faster than bacteria
Kids act like what they see in the cinema
Yo', whatever happened to the values of humanity
Whatever happened to the fairness in equality
Instead in spreading love we spreading animosity
Lack of understanding, leading lives away from unity
That's the reason why sometimes I'm feelin' under
That's the reason why sometimes I'm feelin' down
There's no wonder why sometimes I'm feelin' under
Gotta keep my faith alive to lovers bound, and ask yourself...

Where is the love?

ok, this ain't grunge, but it's close enough ... jimi's castle made of sand

Down the street you can hear her scream "you're a disgrace"
As she slams the door in his drunken face
And now he stands outside
And all the neighbors start to gossip and drool
He cries "Oh, girl you must be mad,
What happened to the sweet love you and me had?"
Against the door he leans and starts a scene,
And his tears fall and burn the garden green

And so castles made of sand fall in the sea, eventually

A little indian brave before he was ten,
Played wargames in the woods with his indian friends
And he built up a dream that when he grew up
He would be a fearless warrior indian chief
Many moons past and more the dream grew strong until
Tomorrow he would sing his first warsong and fight his first battle
But something went wrong, surprise attack killed him in his sleep that night

And so castles made of sand melts into the sea, eventually

There was a young girl, whos heart was a frown
'Cause she was crippled for life,
and she couldn't speak a sound
And she wished and prayed she could stop living,
So she decided to die
She drew her wheelchair to the edge of the shore
And to her legs she smiled "you won't hurt me no more"
But then a sight she'd never seen made her jump and say
"look a golden winged ship is passing my way"

And it really didn't have to stop, it just kept on going...

And so castles made of sand slips into the sea, eventually

Toffees to everyone for all those great songs put in here. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wave.gif" alt="" />

Raze likes Manowar????? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" />

One of my favourite groups. This is a song that it is b-side in the maxi single of Love song. It is very rare and it is really great.

Fear Of Ghosts - The Cure

Like a feeling that I'm down
Deep inside my heart
Like I'm looking out through
Splitting blood red
Windows in my heart
From a higher up than heaven
And a harder down than stone
Shake the fear that always clawing
Pulls me clawing down alone
As I spitting splitting blood red
Breaking windows in my heart
And the past is taunting
Fear of ghosts
Is forcing me apart
And the further I get
From the things that I care about
The less I care about
How much further away I get...

I am lost again
With everything gone
And more alone
Than I have ever been
I expect you to understand
To feel it too
But I know that even if you will
You cannot ever help me
Nor can I
Ever help you

can i have chocolate, please? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/kissyou.gif" alt="" />

round and round and round and round and round we go
trying so hard to get a hold of everyone here
we've got to show how much we love them all
we squeak with idiot fake surprise
flap our hands and flutter our eyes
and lap up all their stupid lies
we've got to love them all

and i really don't know why we do it like this
imitation smiles and how "it's wonderful to be here!"
i'm really not sure what we're so scared we'll miss

so round and round and round and round and round we go
hanging on every shape they throw
it's strange the way we can't say no
until we love them all...

so we laugh at every stupid joke
and smoke and choke and point and poke
and gag on countless lines...
how much we love them all!

and i really don't know why we do it like this
imitation smiles and how "it's wonderful to be here!"
i'm really not sure what we're so scared we'll miss

maybe it's the sex with the drugs and the fools
or maybe it's the promise of belief?
maybe it's the pleasure and the pain of the cruel
or maybe it's the promise of relief?
and i know that we've said it so many times before
"once more and never again"
but however many times that we've said it before
once more is never the end...

smith, gallup, bamonte, cooper, o'donell

sorry everyone!! i didn't know it's all caps. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shame.gif" alt="" />

edit: i've fixed the prob, thanks to raze. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wave.gif" alt="" />

Helped me get over my sister's death:

Bound in a nutshell Lightning Seeds, 1990

Bound in a nutshell
lost in our weary eyes
we're tumbledown people
leading our tumbledown lives
but a breath of life
could make our engines roar
From your mouth instead of lies
a kiss of life for sleeping giants

broken, bound and battered
freezing on picket lines
a colder frost can shatter
and chain us all for lives
but a breath of life
can make our engines roar

we're from power, north of desire
tied and bound by all these lies
as step to step, open tired eyes
give a kiss of life for sleeping giants

they spin our world from cruel to kind
and make our futures a downward site
the strong get strong and still want more
but day by day giants thaw

tomorrow must be calling with an open door
there's no-one left to start our revolution anymore
we need some flames to burn down every door

oh, we're far from power, north of desire
high and dry hoping you'll send us
from your mouth instead of lies
a kiss of life for sleeping giants
far from power, north of desire
tied and bound by all these lies
step by step open tired eyes
with a kiss of life for sleeping giants


Pure - für dich, Birgit

Night time slows, raindrops splash rainbows
perhaps someone you know, could sparkle and shine
as daydreams slide to colour from shadow
picture the moonglow, that dazzles my eyes

and I love you

Just lying smiling in the dark
shooting stars around your heart
dreams come bouncing in your head
pure and simple everytime
now you're crying in your sleep
I wish, you'd never learnt to weep
don't sell the dreams you should be keeping
pure and simple everytime.

Dream of sights, of sleigh rides in seasons
where feelings not reasons can make you decide
as leaves pour down, splash autumn on gardens
as colder nights harden, their moonlit delights
and I love you

look at me with starry eyes
push me up to starry skies
there's stardust in my head
pure and simple everytime
fresh and deep as oceans now
shiver at the sight of you
I'll sing a softer tune
pure and simple over you

if loves the truth then look no lies
and let me swim around your eyes
I've found a place I'll never leave
shut my mouth and just believe
love is the truth I realize
not a stream of petty lies
to use us up and waste our time

Sure!!!


A BIG chocolate bar for you <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Watching Over Me - Iced Earth

I had a friend many years ago
One tragic night he died
The saddest time of my life
For weeks and weeks I cried
Through the anger and through the tears
I've felt his spirit through the years
I'd swear, He's watching me
Guiding me through hard times

(chorus)
I feel it once again
It's overwhelming me
His spirit's like the wind
The angel guarding me
Oh, I know, oh, I know
He's watching over me
Oh, I know, oh, I know
He's watching over me

We shared dreams like all best friends
Blood brothers at the age of ten
We lived reckless, he paid the price
But why? Why did he have to die?
It still hurts me to this day
Am I selfish for feeling this way?
I know he's an angel now
Together we'll be someday

I feel it once again
It's overwhelming me
His spirit's like the wind
The angel guarding me
Oh, I know, oh, I know
He's watching over me
Oh, I know, oh, I know
He's watching over me



Fiddler On The Green - Demons & Wizards

Sad voices they're calling
Our precious girl she can't be gone
How bitter this morning
When daddy's darling
Went out and started her day

Wasn't there a dream last night
Like a spring never ending
Still the water runs clear
Through my mind
On the field I can see a fiddler
The fiddler on the green
and the sad boy
I took him too early
Would you mind
Would you mind
Would you mind
If I take you

To be with you
To be with you
To be with you
To be with you

The sun seemed bright
The air was clear
The air was clear
A trick of light
Turned red into green
She saw the light
Her face was pale
Her body smashed
Her beauty's gone

Isn't it a shame
The reaper said
He is quite alone here
And still waiting for you
Oh I really did fail for the first time
Spoke the fiddler, poor old fiddler
The fiddler on the green
The fiddler on the green
It would be nice...

Take my hand

Just hold my hand
I'll take you there
Your pain will go away

oh goodie! thank you !! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/kitty.gif" alt="" />

I am so sorry. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/disagree.gif" alt="" />

Thank you for sharing.
