I admit it freely. I love words. In any form. Poetry, lyrics, tales. Rants, righteous indignation, venting. Reminiscings (ohsure I will have to edit -that word...), confessions, secrets. Conversation... And the list goes on.
Do you have a favorite something of your own, or someone else's? Do you find lyrics expressing your very soul? Do you cry when you watch and listen? Me, too.
Let me see.
And I will give you this, first, tonight... having perused this Guild for several hours, and been enchanted, touched, and impressed. Beauty is wherever you are, and you are here, and I will settle with you for a time.
============================
Never is a promise
Fiona Apple
You’ll never see the courage I know
Its colors’ richness won’t appear within your view
I’ll never glow - the way that you glow
Your presence dominates the judgements made on you
But as the scenery grows, I see in different lights
The shades and shadows undulate in my perception
My feelings swell and stretch; I see from greater heights
I understand what I am still too proud to mention - to you
You’ll say you understand, but you don’t understand
You’ll say you’d never give up seeing eye to eye
But never is a promise, and you can’t afford to lie
You’ll never touch - these things that I hold
The skin of my emotions lies beneath my own
You’ll never feel the heat of this soul
My fever burns me deeper than I’ve ever shown - to you
You’ll say, don’t fear your dreams, it’s easier than it seems
You’ll say you’d never let me fall from hopes so high
But never is a promise and you can’t afford to lie
You’ll never live the life that I live
I’ll never live the life that wakes me in the night
You’ll never hear the message I give
You’ll say it looks as though I might give up this fight
But as the scenery grows, I see in different lights
The shades and shadows undulate in my perception
My feelings swell and stretch, I see from greater heights
I realize what I am now too smart to mention - to you
You’ll say you understand, you’ll never understand
I’ll say I’ll never wake up knowing how or why
I don’t know what to believe in, you don’t know who I am
You’ll say I need appeasing when I start to cry
But never is a promise and I’ll never need a lie

Time to broaden your horizens, then, good man... read.
The Cinnamon Peeler
Michael Ondaatje
If I were a cinnamon peeler
I would ride your bed
and leave the yellow bark dust
on your pillow.
Your breasts and shoulders would reek
you could never walk through markets
without the profession of my fingers
floating over you. The blind would
stumble certain of whom they approached
though you might bathe
under the rain gutters, monsoon.
Here on the upper thigh
at this smooth pasture
neighbour to your hair
or the crease
that cuts your back. This ankle.
You will be known among strangers
as the cinnamon peeler's wife.
I could hardly glance at you
before marriage
never touch you
- your keen nosed mother, your rough brothers.
I buried my hands
in saffron, disguised them
over smoking tar,
helped the honey gatherers...
When we swam once
I touched you in the water
and our bodies remained free,
you could hold me and be blind of smell.
You climbed the bank and said
this is how you touch other women
the grass cutter's wife, the lime burner's daughter.
And you searched your arms
for the missing perfume
and knew
what good is it
to be the lime burner's daughter
left with no trace
as if not spoken to in the act of love
as if wounded without the pleasure of a scar.
You touched
your belly to my hands
in the dry air and said
I am the cinnamon
peeler's wife. Smell me.

Bad day. Im posting this here so I can find it when I need it again... I dedicated it in Rose's thread as well, to anyone considering entering her contest, and I hope SEVERAL of you do. Ive seen your posts, I know you can write. Anything, it can be short. I dare you.
=====================================
Welcome to the planet
Welcome to existence
Everyone's here
Everybody's watching you now
Everybody waits for you now
What happens next
I dare you to move
I dare you to move
I dare you to lift yourself up off the floor
I dare you to move
I dare you to move
Like today never happened
Today never happened before
Welcome to the fallout
Welcome to resistence
The tension is here
Between who you are and you could be
Between how it is and how it should be
Maybe redemption has stories to tell
Maybe forgiveness is right where you fell
Where can you run to escape from yourself?
Where you gonna go?
Where you gonna go?
Salvation is here
I Dare You to Move
Switch Foot

Hmm... i definitly like lyrics.
My favorite song:
I'm so happy
Cause today I found my friends
They're in my head
I'm so ugly
But that's ok, 'cause so are you
We've broke our mirrors
Sunday morning
Is everyday for all I care
And I'm not scared
Light my candles
In a daze 'cause I've found god
Yeah he he yeah
I'm so lonely and
That's ok, I shaved my head
And I'm not sad
And just maybe
I'm to blame for all I've heard
And I'm not sure
I'm so excited
I can't wait to meet you there
And I dont' care
I'm so horny but
That's ok, my will is good
Yeah he he yeah
I like it
I'm not gonna crack
I miss you
I'm not coming back
I love you
I'm not gonna crack
I killed you
I'm not coming back
I like it
I'm not gonna crack
I miss you
I'm not coming back
I love you
I'm not gonna crack
I killed you
I'm not coming back

Thank you for that... very similar to the stuff I was listening to earlier, moody us haha. Please feel free to post whenever the mood strikes, lyrics tend to say it all, whatever the moment.
Break away...

^-^
I wish for happiness
I seek happiness
To find happiness with you
To be your happiness
So take me
Someplace far away
Far from here
Please take me there
An unbreakable spell
A never-ending kiss
An endless dream
Eternal happiness
Take me
I wish for happiness
The birds sing
In a foreign tongue
A place where wings
Are not enough
A place not reachable alone
So take me
Somewhere far from here
Soaked feathers
Fingers locked
The warmth of skin
Two hearts
Take me away
I wish for happiness
I don't want your past
I seek your present
Retrace my broken future
Please take me there
I wish for happiness
I wish for happiness
I seek happiness
To find happiness with you
To be your happiness
So take me
Someplace far away
Far from here
Please take me there
A bird in a cage
A bird without wings
A bird without voice
A lonely bird
Take me
I wish for happiness
I'm happy just to be with you
Just to see your smile
So take me
Somewhere far from here
Take me away
I wish for happiness
My first thought is of you
My last wish is for you
A promised land where fairies wait
With room just enough for two
Please take me there
I want to forget reality
To be in my dreams with you
Where I can be thinking
of you forever
Please take me
To happiness

Post whenever mood strikes.. xd X3 alright....
-------------------------------
I'm broke but I'm happy
I'm poor but I'm kind
I'm short but I'm healthy, yeah
I'm high but I'm grounded
I'm sane but I'm overwhelmed
I'm lost but I'm hopeful baby
What it all comes down to
Is that everything's gonna be fine fine fine
I've got one hand in my pocket
And the other one is giving a high five
I feel drunk but I'm sober
I'm young and I'm underpaid
I'm tired but I'm working, yeah
I care but I'm restless
I'm here but I'm really gone
I'm wrong and I'm sorry baby
What it all comes down to
Is that everything's gonna be quite alright
I've got one hand in my pocket
And the other one is flicking a cigarette
And what it all comes down to
Is that I haven't got it all figured out just yet
I've got one hand in my pocket
And the other one is giving the peace sign
I'm free but I'm focused
I'm green but I'm wise
I'm hard but I'm friendly baby
I'm sad but I'm laughing
I'm brave but I'm chickenshit
I'm sick but I'm pretty baby
And what it all boils down to
Is that no one's really got it figured out just yet
I've got one hand in my pocket
And the other one is playing the piano
And what it all comes down to my friends
Is that everything's just fine fine fine
I've got one hand in my pocket
And the other one is hailing a taxi cab
