Imma keep playing these cats out like Atari

Made the savage beast inside roar until he cried,

ADMIN MODE:

o.O

I'm..not sure of the point of this. People can just look up lyrics online to just about any song.

I'm going to lock this until the mods/admins agree what to do with it.

[Tiff]

ADMIN MODE:

We've decided to let the topic remain, but we would like for here to be some discussion so this isn't entirely pointless and just lyrics. Discuss the songs and WHY they're your favorite. Do the lyrics mean somethign to you?

Either way, let's try to have some sort of discussion.

Music by: E. Kuritsen & I. Shapovalov
Lyrics by: V. Polienko & T. Horn

Can you see me now?
Can you see me now?
Can you see?

All this weeping in the air
Who can tell where it will fall?
Through floating forests in the air
'Cross the rolling open sea

Blow a kiss, I run through air
Leave the past, find nowhere
Floating forests in the air
Clowns all around you

Clowns that only let you know
Where you let your senses go
Clowns all around you
It's a cross I need to bear

All this black and cruel despair
This is an emergency
Don't you hide your eyes from me
Open them and see me now

Can you see me now?
Can you see?
Can you see me now?

Can you see?
Can you see?
can you see?
can you see?
Can you see me now?
can you see?
can you see?
Can you see me now?
Can you see me now?

clowns all around you
can you see?
can you see?
can you see?
can you see me now?

See me here in the air
Not holding on to anywhere
But holding on so beware
I have secrets I won't share

See me here pushing you
If I then deny I do
Contemplate or wish away
If I ask you not to stay

Clowns that only let you know
Where you let your senses go
Clowns all around you
It's a cross I need to bear

All this black and cruel despair
This is an emergency
Don't you hide your eyes from me?
Open them and see me now

Can you see me now?
Can you see me now?

Can you see?
Can you see?
Can you see?
can you see?
can you see me now?
clowns all around you
can you see me now?
can you see?
can you see me now?
can you see?
can you see?
Can you see me now?

Hmm... well I'm not sure how to discuss lyrics but this song means alot to me. I've always interpreted it as being a little out-casted all your life and finally becoming something. The clowns, to me, represent the people who joked around with you when you were down.

Janie's Got A Gun by Aerosmith

Dum, dum, dum, honey what have you done
Dum, dum, dum, it's the sound of my gun
Dum, dum, dum, honey what have you done
Dum, dum, dum, it's the sound, it's the sound...
Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah....

Janie's Got A Gun
Janie's Got A Gun
Her whole world's come undone
From staring at the sun
What did her daddy do
What did he put you through

They say when Janie was arrested
They found him underneath a train
But man, he had it comin'
Now that Janie's Got A Gun
She ain't never gonna be the same

Janie's Got A Gun
Janie's Got A Gun
Her dog day's just begun
Now everybody is on the run
Tell her now it's untrue
What did her daddy do

He jacked the little bitty baby
The man has got to be insane
They say the spell that he was under
The lightnin' and the thunder
Knew that someone had to stop the pain

Run away, run away from the pain
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Run away, run away from the pain
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Run away, run away, run, run away

Janie's Got A Gun
Janie's Got A Gun
Her dog day's just begun
Now everybody is on the run
What did her daddy do
It's Janie's last I.O.U.

She had to take him down easy
And put a bullet in his brain
She said 'cause nobody believes me
The man was such a sleeze
He ain't never gonna be the same

Run away, run away from the pain
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Run away, run away from the pain
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Run away, run away, run, run away

Janie's Got A Gun
Janie's Got A Gun
Janie's Got A Gun
Everybody is on the run

Janie's Got A Gun
Her dog day's just begun
Now everybody's on the run (Honey, honey what's your problem)
'Cause Janie's Got A Gun (Tell me it ain't right)
Janie's Got A Gun (Was it daddys cradle robbin')
Her dog day's just begun (That made you scream at night)
Now everybody's on the run
Janie's Got A Gun

What can I say that the lyrics don't already say for themselves? I find the lyrics to this song to be both powerful and chilling. It's just an awesome song.

Panda: The lyrics to that song have been ruined by Verizon's annoying commercials.

[SeiUsa]

These specific lyrics in LeAnn Womack's song "I Hope You Dance."

Time is a wheel in constant motion
always rolling us along.
Tell me who wants to look back on their years
and wonder where those years have gone?

The whole song makes me teary eyed, and I dedicate this to my future children, but for some reason those lines always gave me the chills. Probably because it's so damn true.

I love those lyrics because it's sung in countermelody against the chorus. But, the version that I have has a guy singing them, while the more popular version I hear on the radio has LeAnn singing them.

Anyway, one of the things I like to do with love songs sometimes is to reverse the "polarity" of the lyrics so that the song sounds incredibly selfish. Like, here's my take on Frankie Valli's "Can't Take My Eyes Off of You":

I'm just too good to be true
Can't take your eyes off of me
I'd be like heaven to touch
You want to hold me so much
At long last love has arrived
And you thank god you're alive
I'm just too good to be true
Can't take your eyes off of me

Bridge:

You love me, baby
And yes, it's quite all right
You need me, baby
to warm your lonely nights
You love me, baby
I'll trust you when you say
I'm a pretty baby
Won't bring you down, no way
I'm a pretty baby
And I will let you stay
And let you love me, baby, let you love me. . .

[Starscream]

I'll see your selfishness and raise you narcissism:


I'm just too good to be true
Can't take my eyes off of me
I'd be like heaven to touch
I want to hold me so much
At long last love has arrived
And I thank God I'm alive
I'm just too good to be true
Can't take my eyes off of me

Bridge:

I love me, baby
And yes, it's quite all right
I need me, baby
to warm my lonely nights
I love me, baby
I'll trust me when you say
I'm a pretty baby
Won't bring me down, no way
I'm a pretty baby
And I will let me stay
And let me love me, baby, let me love me. . .

I do that sometimes when I'm in a particularly good and/or goofy mood. Makes the song nonsensical sometimes, but that's fine by me XD

[Sailor V]

The reason why I like the song "Lady Marmalade", is because if you ever watched the music video, they dress up as whores, which leads me to believe that sometimes you have to embrace your inner whore sometimes.

[SeiUsa]

This song in my sig is so haunting and yet so pretty. I wonder what I would do if someone sang this to me??

(Cookies for whoever knows where this song is from )

[Musashi]

My name is Meowth,
I'm covered with hair
I have lots of hairballs,
Did you call us sir?

The one with the cat and the boy that loses his virginity to a girl and with his siter and said cat in the same bed. Cat talks, name is Thachary Smith. I forget the name of the movie, but all I know is that they turned him into a cat and killed his sister. Snd the youngest girl had a crush on him.

[Kameko]

The name of the movie is Hocus Pocus.

"Listen to your Heart"
I know there’s something in the wake of your smile
I get a notion from the look in your eyes, yeah
you’ve built a love but that love falls apart
your little piece of heaven turns too dark

listen to your heart
when he’s calling for you
listen to your heart
there’s nothing else you can do
I don’t know where you’re going
and I don’t know why
but listen to your heart
before you tell him goodbye

sometimes you wonder if this fight is worthwhile
the precious moments are all lost in the tide, yeah
they’re swept away and nothing is what is seems
the feeling of belonging to your dreams

listen to your heart
when he’s calling for you
listen to your heart
there’s nothing else you can do
I don’t know where you’re going
and I don’t know why
but listen to your heart
before you tell him goodbye

and there are voices
that want to be heard
so much to mention
but you can’t find the words
the scent of magic
the beauty that’s been
when love was wilder than the wind

listen to your heart
when he’s calling for you
listen to your heart
there’s nothing else you can do
I don’t know where you’re going
and I don’t know why
but listen to your heart
before you tell him goodbye

Listen to your heart....mm..mmm

I don’t know where you’re going
and I don’t know why
but listen to your heart
before you tell him goodbye

The reason why I like this song is because it deals with breaking up and i'm a helpless romantic.

...Um..okay, no.

1) The cat is actually a boy named Zachary Binx (or Binks, not sure how to spell it). Zachary's sister was killed, and he lived all the way to the present day as a cat, until the very end of hte movie, when they set his soul free.
2) The other boy doesn't lose his virginity to anybody. He and his psuedo-girlfriend sleep in the same bed, but they don't fuck. Come on, it's a disney movie, dude.

[AnimeGuru0]

And the movie was Hocus-Pocus with Sarah Jessica Parker and Bette Midler.

[Akarui Kibuno]

Well, since I'm allowed only one song per post here, I'll post one of my favoriiiiiiiiiiiiiiites...

Metallica, Nothing Else Matters

So close, no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever, trust in who we are
And nothing else matters

Had never opened myself this way
Life is ours, we live it our way
All these words I don't just say
And nothing else matters

Trust I seek and I find in you
Everyday for us something new
Open mind for a different view
And nothing else matters

Never care for they do
Never care for what they know
And I know

(Repeat of verse 1, 2, and chorus... ^^;; )

Never care for things they say
Never care for games they play

First thing: there are words I'm putting in here by ear (I tend to listen rather closely to songs) so maybe it's not the same as lyrics you could find online (like "forever trust in.." that others put as "forever trusting" ... bah) .

Anyway.

I love this song because, as weird as it might sound, it can apply to lots of situations. I can say it applies to me and "Mr Kibbs" (I had found another online nickname for my boyfriend but he hated it XD) . Because we're so different, we have heard quite the remarks about how it's weird that we're together.

Then it can apply also to me and my friend Vincent. He's like a big brother to me and the remarks I've heard are about how he's silly, how he shouldn't be too much into the things he's in, how he's not classy, lots of things for which I have almost killed the person who said them. Ah, not really, I couldn't (that was my sister T_T ) but I told her a piece of my mind.

It could also apply to me and Mom. I'm closer to her now than any other time, maybe, I guess, because she just lost her own mother and it was a shock to everyone (talk about losing your mother, opening the medical files and finding out she could have lived much longer but never said a word to her children o.O ).

Ah... plus, I must say, there's a symphonic version of this song that makes me go "whoah" everytime.

"Metallica and San Francisco Philarmonic Orchestra". I have the MP3 and the video of this. Same friend Vincent made me listen to various symphonic versions of rock songs... I kinda fell asleep on his couch that day, I was in music heaven XD .

[Skull13]

I don't know if this counts, but I'll post it anyway. I really like it.

In The Event Of My Demise

In The Event Of My Demise
when my heart can beat no more,
I hope I die for a principle
or a belief that I had lived 4.
I will die before my time,
because I feel the shadow's depth.
So much I wanted 2 accomplish,
before I reached my death.
I have come 2 grips with the possibility
and wiped the last tear from my eyes.
I loved all who were positive,
In The Event Of My Demise.
