Lyrics of my Soul

What is it about music, that it can speak to you in a way nothing or no one ever has? I'm one of those strange people that actually likes most genres of music that I am introduced to. It's very hard to find something I dislike, because in almost everything I hear, there is something that speaks to me. Most bands have this uncanny ability to put to music, the very things I would want to say, if I knew how to say them. And it's ridiculous how true this is, because a there are definitely lyrics that speak to me, that I recognize as part of me, that I've never actually experienced before. It's like songwriters can look inside of me and go to places that I've never even seen and pull things out that I had no idea was there. When I listen to music, it can affect my mood. If I'm happy and listen to sad music it can drag me down, but it works the same in reverse too. Sometimes I think that music can save me when nothing else can...I don't even know if that really make sense, because I'm not entirely sure what I would need rescuing from...

But just to share, these are some of the most meaningful lyrics in my life at the moment:

"Pain is only a pulse, if you just stop feeling it." - Coheed and Cambria

"You never know what temporal days may bring. Laugh, love, live free, and sing. When life is in discord, praise ye the Lord." - Anberlin

"There can be no better way of knowing, in a world beyond controlling. Are you going to deny the savior in front of your eyes?" - Disturbed

"You are the night light ripping through my wicked world. How you make it sparkle and glow."- Motion City Soundtrack

"I lie awake and memorize your face as you sleep next to me. The falling moon is calling me as I leave. Sun rise slowly, the road looms lonely. "-Ludo

"How many times can I break 'til I shatter? Over the line, can't define what I'm after. I always turn the car around." - OAR

"If I lay here, if i just lay here...will you lie with me, and just forget the world?" Snow Patrol

I think that's good for now. Sometimes I feel like I could write a novel with all the various lyrics there are in the world. Something to think about...
