lyrics to live by

[crazyloser13]

Tik Toc by Ke$ha is the soundtrack to my life.

 

Well, maybe not...

[AiluroSafire]

My will <my will>

My way <my way>

My fear <my fear>

Makes way... With wings <with wings>

I fly! Watch me fly! (Watch Me Fy by Crush 40)

 

Well now I'll never turn back (I'll never turn back)

I'll never turn that way

No matter how life tries to face me I'll turn the other way! (Never Turn Back by Crush 40)

 

And I will fly on my father's wings to places I have never been

There is so much I've never seen

And I can feel his heart beat still and I will do great things... On my father's wings! (On my Father's Wings by The Corrs)

 

I'll remember forever

Even if this town changes

No matter how much sorrow I'm to encounter

I'll show you when I was truly strong

Cmon, lets go; we'll start walking on the sloped road (A Song to Past Time in Clannad After Story. English translation)

 

I would die for you,

Cross the sky for you,

I will send out a light burning for you alone.

You're all I need to set me free,

And this fire will guide you home. (Guide you Home by Rebecca Knuebuhl & Gabriel Mann)

 

In learning you will teach

And in teaching you will learn

You'll find you place beside the ones you love (Son of Man by Phil Collins)

 

Feel the rain on your skin

No one else can feel it for you

Only you can let it in

No one else, no one else can speak the words on your lips

Drench yourself in words unspoken

Live your life with arms wide open!

Today is where your book begins

The rest is still unwritten (Unwritten by Natasha Bedingfield)

 

Ya you're a soldier now - fighting in a battle

To be free once more -Ya that's worth fighting for (Sound the Bugle by Bryan Adams)

 

And by the morning's light

We'll be halfway to anywhere

Where love is more than just your name (Anywhere by Evanescense)

 

All the wisdom to lead

All the courage that you need

You will find when you see

We are one! (We Are One in The Lion King 2)

 

(There's a whole lot more I could name, but I won't)

[Nerendier]

Take it easy, don't let the sound of your own wheels drive you crazy.

Lighten up while you still can

don't even try to understand

just find a place to make your stand

and take it easy.

 

- Take it Easy --- Eagles

[MissK.]

"And I ain't gonna be just a face in the crowd

You're gonna hear my voice when I shout it out loud

 

It's my life

It's now or never

I ain't gonna live forever

I just wanna live while I'm alive" -Bon Jovi, It's my life

 

"There you go

You're always so right

It's all a big show

It's all about you

You think you know

What everyone needs

You always take time to criticize me

 

It seems like everyday

I make mistakes

I just can't get it right

It's like I'm the one you love to hate

But not today

 

So shut up shut up shut up

Don't wanna hear it

Get out get out get out

Get out of my way

Step up step up step up

You'll never stop me

Nothing you say today

Is gonna bring me down

 

[...]

 

You're always there to point out

my mistakes

And shove them in my face

It's like I'm the one you love to hate

But not today.

 

[insert chorus here]

 

Don't tell me who I should be

Don't try to tell me what's right for me

Don't tell me what I should do

I don't want to waste my time

I'll watch you fade away..." - Simple Plan, Shut Up

 

"We all live under the same sky

We all will live, we all will die

There is no wrong, there is no right

The circle only has one side" - Travis, Side

 

I'll probably just keep coming up with more, but that's it for now x3

[KittyKatKat]

People are people

So why should it be

You and I should get

Along so awfully

People are people

So why should it be

You and I should get

Along so awfully

 

So we're different colours

And we're different creeds

And different people have different needs

It's obvious you hate me

Though I've done nothing wrong

I've never ever met you so what could I have done

 

I can't understand

What makes a man

Hate another man

Help me understand

 

People are people...

 

Help me understand

Help me understand

 

Now you're punching

And you're kicking

And you're shouting at me

I'm relying on your common decency

So far it hasn't surfaced

But I'm sure it exists

It just takes a while to travel

From your head to your fists

 

I can't understand

What makes a man

Hate another man

Help me understand

[brokenglass]

"Show me how to lie,

You’re getting better all the time

And turning all against the one

Is an art that’s hard to teach

Another clever word

Sets off an unsuspecting herd

And as you step back into line,

A mob jumps to their feet!

 

Now dance ****er dance!

Man he never had a chance,

And no one even knew

It was really only you!

 

And now you steal away,

Take him out today,

Nice work you did,

You’re gonna go far, kid!

 

With a thousand lies

And a good disguise,

Hit ‘em right between the eyes,

Hit ‘em right between the eyes,

When you walk away,

Nothing more to say-

See the lightning in your eyes,

See ‘em running for their lives!"

 

Both of those are from the song You're Gonna Go Far, Kid by The Offspring.

 

I dunno it kind of... Empowers me? Cheers me up? I don't know how to describe me, but it helps me out of whatever slump I'm in...

[Dragon_Lord]

"I get by with a little help from my friends."

"And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make."

"There will be an answer, let it be."

 

All from Beatles songs.

[solaflar3]

Some things in life are bad,

They can really make you mad,

Other things just make you swear and curse.

When you're chewing on life's gristle

Don't grumble, give a whistle.

And this'll help things turn out for the best.

And....

Always look on the bright side of life, (whistle)

Always look on the bright side of life, (whistle)

If life seems jolly rotten,

There's something you've forgotten,

And that's to laugh and smile and dance and sing.

When you're feeling in the dumps,

Don't be silly chumps.

Just purse your lips and whistle, that's the thing.

And...

Always look on the bright side of life. (whistle)

Come on...

Always look on the bright side of life...

For life is quite absurd,

And death's the final word,

You must always face the curtain with a bow.

Forget about your sin,

Give the audience a grin,

Enjoy it - it's your last chance anyhow.

So always look on the bright side of death,

Just before you draw your terminal breath,

Life's a piece of sh!t,

When you look at it,

Life's a laugh and death's a joke, it's true.

You'll see it's all a show,

Keep 'em laughing as you go.

Just remember that the last laugh is on you.

And always look on the bright side of life,

Always look on the right side of life,

Come on guys, cheer up.

Always look on the bright side of life.

Worse things happen at sea, you know.

Always look on the bright side of life.

I mean - what have you got to lose?

You know, you come from nothing,

you're going back to nothing.

What have you lost? Nothing!

 

 

Monty Python - Life of Brian.

[Dragon_Arbock]

'So clever, whatever, I'm done with these endeavors

Alone I'll walk the winding way (here I stay)

It's over, no longer, I feel it growing stronger

I live to die another day, until I fade away

 

Why give up? Why give in?

It's not enough, it never is

So I will go on until the end

We've become, desolate

It's not enough, it never is

But I will go on until the end'

 

'Until the End' - Breaking Benjamin

[Dr. Paine]

Alright, here's some full lyrics:

 

Still Alive:

 

This was a triumph.

I'm making a note here: HUGE SUCCESS.

It's hard to overstate my satisfaction.

Aperture Science

We do what we must

because we can.

For the good of all of us.

Except the ones who are dead.

But there's no sense crying over every mistake.

You just keep on trying till you run out of cake.

And the Science gets done.

And you make a neat gun.

For the people who are still alive.

I'm not even angry.

I'm being so sincere right now.

Even though you broke my heart.

And killed me.

And tore me to pieces.

And threw every piece into a fire.

As they burned it hurt because I was so happy for you!

Now these points of data make a beautiful line.

And we're out of beta.

We're releasing on time.

So I'm GLaD. I got burned.

Think of all the things we learned

for the people who are still alive.

Go ahead and leave me.

I think I prefer to stay inside.

Maybe you'll find someone else to help you.

Maybe Black Mesa

THAT WAS A JOKE.

HAHA. FAT CHANCE.

Anyway, this cake is great.

It's so delicious and moist.

Look at me still talking

when there's Science to do.

When I look out there, it makes me GLaD I'm not you.

I've experiments to run.

There is research to be done.

On the people who are still alive.

And believe me I am still alive.

I'm doing Science and I'm still alive.

I feel FANTASTIC and I'm still alive.

While you're dying I'll be still alive.

And when you're dead I will be still alive.

Still alive.

Still alive.

 

Voltaire, God Thinks.

 

God thinks all blacks are obsolete farm equipment

God thinks the Jews killed his son and must be punished

God thinks the white man is Satan

God, they know what God thinks

God thinks we should all convert to Judaism

God thinks we must all be Christians and

God thinks we should all embrace Islam

God thinks the only true religion is Hinduism

 

 

 

And I

I know what God thinks

God thinks you're a waste of flesh

God prefers an Atheist

God thinks all people like you are evil

God thinks all people like you are an embarrassment to creation

Self-righteous, judgmental, first to throw the stone

And use His name for your own protection

 

 

 

God thinks the sun revolves around the Earth

God thinks there was something very wrong with Copernicus

God thinks abortion is murder and

God thinks everything that science gave us is wrong

God thinks women deserve it

God thinks AIDS is a form of punishment

I hate people who blame the Devil for their own shortcomings and

I hate people who thank God when things go right

 

 

 

And I

I know what God thinks

God thinks you're an idiot

God prefers a heretic

God God

God thinks all people like you are evil

God thinks all people like you are an embarrassment to creation

Self-righteous, judgmental, first to throw the stone

And use His name for your own agenda

 

 

 

 

God is a liberal

God is a democrat

God wants you to vote republican

Never trust a man who puts his words in the mouth of god

And says that it's absolute truth

Its lies and it smells like death

Its all in a day's work taking money from the poor

Why do you think that God would need your dirty money

If he wanted to start a holy war?

 

 

 

 

Self-righteous, judgmental, first to throw the stone

And use His name for your own protection

 

 

 

God thinks puppies need to die and

God thinks babies need to drown

 

 

'cause God is neither good nor bad

God is you and me

God is Everything

--- If this is offensive, you're missing the point

[Shadowflame]

^ I listened to Still Alive after I saw your post yesterday. Love the song, even if I don't play the game. And yes, I agree with Voltaire's one as well.

 

My own, even though I'm not actually as positive as these songs are:

 

Affirmation - Savage Garden (the whole song)

I believe the sun should never set upon an argument

I believe we place our happiness in other people's hands

I believe that junk food tastes so good because it's bad for you

I believe your parents did the best job they knew how to do

I believe that beauty magazines promote low self esteem

I believe I'm loved when I'm completely by myself alone

 

I believe in Karma what you give is what you get returned

I believe you can't appreciate real love 'til you've been burned

I believe the grass is no more greener on the other side

I believe you don't know what you've got until you say goodbye

 

I believe you can't control or choose your sexuality

I believe that trust is more important than monogamy

I believe your most attractive features are your heart and soul

I believe that family is worth more than money or gold

I believe the struggle for financial freedom is unfair

I believe the only ones who disagree are millionaires

 

I believe in Karma what you give is what you get returned

I believe you can't appreciate real love 'til you've been burned

I believe the grass is no more greener on the other side

I believe you don't know what you've got until you say goodbye

 

I believe forgiveness is the key to your own unhappiness

I believe that wedded bliss negates the need to be undressed

I believe that God does not endorse TV evangelists

I believe in love surviving death into eternity

 

I believe in Karma what you give is what you get returned

I believe you can't appreciate real love 'til you've been burned

I believe the grass is no more greener on the other side

I believe you don't know what you've got until you say goodbye

I believe you don't know what you've got until you say goodbye

Until you say goodbye

 

Who Knows - Avril Lavigne (just the chorus)

Who knows what could happen?

Do what you do

Just keep on laughing

One thing's true

There's always a brand new day

I'm gonna live today like it's my last day

 

And Bad Day by Daniel Powter. Not exactly "lyrics to live by" so I won't post it here, but always makes me feel better.

 

 

[SilverDragons]

Still Alive.

 

The entirety of it, but 'there's no sense crying over every mistake/just keep on trying 'till you run out of cake' is rather inspiring.

 

And Discovery Channel's 'I love the whole world' song just makes me feel like the world isn't carp

I LOVE that song! (Still Alive(from Portal)) I don't know if I'd consider it life-changing though! But, I sing it all the time!

[Play]

What I have in me

in my mind is you

 

I would die if we were through

 

What I'm feeling now

What I´m having you do

 

I am lost in pain without you

So cold. So alone

 

All I have is you

it is all that I`m waiting for

All I need is you

 

Now I can't make it through

 

All the nights I prayed

Must this all be untrue

 

I am not prepared to be strong

 

I just can't believe

I am losing you

 

Not prepared to carry on,

what you see and walk away

So cold. So alone

 

All I have is you

it is all that I´m waiting for

All I need is you

 

Now I can't make it through

 

I am losing you forever

 

I am lost in pain without you

 

I am leaving ground forever (Forever)

 

Distant from all, yesterdays electing me

murder these thoughs life is disconnecting me,

Noooo,

Loving is affecting me, count all the times

You were there protecting me

 

So cold. So alone.

 

 

All I have is you

it is all that I´m waiting for

All I need is you

 

Now I can't make it through

 

I am losing you forever

 

I am lost in pain without you

 

I am leaving ground forever (Forever)

 

 

All I have is you

 

It is all that I´m breathing for

 

All I need is you

 

Now I can't make it through

 

It is all that I'm breathing for, (breathing for, breathing for), (breathing for, breathing for, breathing for)

 

That song really describe a part of my life.

[Nerendier]

"Even when your hope is gone, move along move along."

 

[brightheart]

mine is kind of depressing but "Heavens not enough" really describes my state of mind.

 

heaven's not enough

if when you get there..

just another blue

and heaven's not enough

you think you've found it

and it loses you

 

you've thought of all there is

but not enough

and it loses you in a cloud

 

"there" most everything is nothin'

that it seems

"where" you see the things you only wanna see

 

I'd fly away

to a higher plane

to say words I resist

to float away

to sigh

to breathe.... forget

 

and heaven's not enough

if when I'm there I don't remember you

and heaven does enough

you think you know it

and it uses you

 

I saw so many things

but like a dream

always losing me in a cloud

 

cause I couldn't cry

cause I turned away

couldn't see the score

didn't know the pain

of leaving yesterday really far behind

in another life

in another dream

by a different name

gave it all away

for a memory

and a quiet lie

and I felt the face

of a cold tonight

still don't know the score

but I know the pain

of leaving everything really far behind

and if I could cry

and if I could live what truth I did then take me there

heaven goodbye

[Alandra]

Hmm... right now? Lots and lots of Bon Jovi lyrics...

 

Especially "Bounce" and "Have a nice Day". Oh, and "Everyday".

 

They kind of make me feel stronger... And I need strength and confidence...

[Sookan]

oh i found some interesting ones the other day. never heard the song but they made me think!

 

It's sad, but proud or not, most your standards go down a notch

When loneliness drinks at the bar you set too high

 

Cunnilynguists - Love Ain't

[wondersueak]

I am very scared to post this on here. This is my masterpiece song I've written. I'm afraid it will get stolen. This is the CHORUS ONLY. I'm very paranoid about people stealing m lyrics, because I dream of being a famous singer/writer.

 

It's called inside my heart, by me. (sung with a hint of country lol.)

 

Inside my heart, it'll be okay.

Inside my heart, it'll be the same.

and I know I will always love you

well, inside my heart

inside my heart I will never forget you

[Stunningfire]

I like it, Wonder! ^^

 

My favorite lyrics:

We lose our way,

We get back up again

It's never too late

To get back up again

One day, you gonna shine again

You may be knocked down, but not out forever!

 

Helps me when I'm depressed or convinced that I will never succeed

[Kaynight]

I think all of Imagine by John Lennon for me,

 

"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 isn't hard to do

Nothing to kill or die for

And no religion too

Imagine all the people

Living life in peace

 

You may say that I'm a dreamer

But I'm not the only one

I hope someday you'll join us

And the world will be as one

 

Imagine no possessions

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 that I'm a dreamer

But I'm not the only one

I hope someday you'll join us

And the world will live as one"

 

 

If only John....

COMMUNIST!!!!! Yeah, that song is about Communism, but its still a good song.lol

 

Mine is

"Don't Remember where I was

I Realized life was a game

The more seriously I took things

the harder the rules became

 

I had no idea what it'd cost

my life passed before my eyes

When I found out how little I accomplished

all my plans denied." - A Tout Le Monde by Megadeth http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=711OXriVz5g&feature=related

[Qwackie]

V1

Sometimes when I lie

I know you’re on to me

Sometimes I don’t mind

How hateful that I can be

 

Sometimes I don’t try

To make you happy

I don’t know why I do the things I do to you but…

 

Chorus

Sometimes I don’t wanna be better

Sometimes I can’t be put back together

Sometimes I find it hard to believe

There’s someone else who could be

Just as messed up as me

 

V2

Sometimes don’t deny

That everything is wrong

Sometimes rather die

Than to admit it’s my fault

 

Sometimes when you cry

I just don’t care at all

I don’t know why I do the things I do to you but…

 

Bridge

I want someone to hurt

Like the way I hurt

It’s sick but it makes me feel better

 

V3

Sometimes I can’t hide

The demons that I face

Sometimes don’t deny

I’m sometimes sinner sometimes saint

 

 

Sometimes by Skillet is a good, true song.

[KaneLocke]

Stained, looking at my hands

I talk with these lines

It's not the answer

I'm crying and I now I know

Looking the sky

I search for an answer

So free, free to be

I'm not another liar

I just want to be myself...myself

 

And now the beat inside of me

Is a sort of a cold breeze and I've

Never any feeling inside

Around me...

I Bring my body

Carry it into another world

I know I live...but like a stone I'm falling down

 

Damned, looking into the sky

I can feel this rain

Right now it's falling on me

Fly, I just want to fly

Life is all mine

Some days I cry alone,

But I know I'm not the only one

I see that another day is gone

I don't want to die...

Please be here when I arrive, don't die...please

 

Lacuna Coil. One of their most amazing songs ever.

[Jesen]

Somebody once asked could I spare some change for gas

I need to get myself away from this place

I said yep what a concept

I could use a little fuel myself

And we could all use a little change

- All Star, by Smash Mouth

 

 

And this one's one of my favorites.

 

There are places I remember all my life,

Though some have changed

Some forever, not for better

Some have gone and some remain.

All these places have their moments

With lovers and friends I still can recall

Some are dead and some are living

In my life I've loved them all.

 

But with all these friends and lovers

There is no one compares with you

And these mem'ries lose their meaning

When I think of love as something new

Though I know I'll never lose affection

For people and things that went before

I know I'll often stop and think about them.

In my life I love you more.

 

Though I know I'll never lose affection

For people and things that went before

I know I'll often stop and think about them.

In my life I love you more

In my life I love you more

- There Are Places I Remember, by The Beatles <3
