Welcome to Gaia! ::

Des'ree: Strong Enough

Trying to figure out just where your life is goin'
Can you see the picture in the purple sky?
Silently you're walkin', but where are you headin'?
Questions terrorise, space inside your mind

Are you strong enough for love?
Are you strong enough for peace?
Are you strong enough to die?
Tell me why
I'm strong enough for you,
are you strong enough for me?
'Cos down, down in the city
love ain't always pretty

They try to take your soul and mind
But you won't let them
Never wear your destiny, outside your smile
Always talk in riddles, so you keep them guessing
Never criticise, keep an open mind

They're holding their hands, begging for some time
Can you spare a shilling, can you spare a life?
You try to give them food, but they just refuse you
Deep down inside, you know you've tried

Savages from Pocahontas:
[Ratcliffe]
What can you expect
From filthy little heathens?
Their whole disgusting race is like a curse
Their skin's a hellish red
They're only good when dead
They're vermin, as I said
And worse
[English Settlers]
They're savages! Savages!
[Ratcliffe]
Barely even human
[English Settlers]
Savages! Savages!
[Ratcliffe]
Drive them from our shore!
They're not like you and me
Which means they must be evil
We must sound the drums of war!
[English Settlers]
They're savages! Savages!
Dirty redskin devils!
Now we sound the drums of war!
[Powhatan]
This is what we feared
The paleface is a demon
The only thing they feel at all is greed
[Kekata]
Beneath that milky hide
There's emptiness inside
[Native Americans]
I wonder if they even bleed

They're savages! Savages!
Barely even human
Savages! Savages!
[Powhatan]
Killers at the core
[Kekata]
They're different from us
Which means they can't be trusted
[Powhatan]
We must sound the drums of war
[Native Americans]
They're savages! Savages!
First we deal with this one
[All]
Then we sound the drums of war
[English Settlers]
Savages! Savages!
[Ben]
Let's go kill a few, men!
[Native Americans]
Savages! Savages!
[Ratcliffe]
Now it's up to you, men!
[All]
Savages! Savages!
Barely even human!
Now we sound the drums of war!

Its not that i relate to this song as much as i really find it interesting. We look back on this time and see a horrible incident, we see ignorance and hatred, we wonder why they couldn't try to get along. I wonder what they will be wondering in the future? Who will be the savages? How will todays society look? Not that better, i imagine.

"(miss)understood" Ayumi Hamasaki heart
I said to myself "I'm OK"
And showed my usual smile
I didn't feel in desperation
But in a kind of defiance

I hid my trembling hand
Because their sympathy was so hollow

I don't get warmed
By the half-hearted and artificial warmth
I rather want them to shut their eyes
Until I break into pieces without a trace

I don't want to hear nor speak
The fine words any longer
The pain will be getting worse
So I just accept it

The air is awfully clear
The calm before a storm

What do those people really want to know
With seemingly kindness
Hiding a sharp knife of curiosity
Behind their gentle looking eyes?

What do you really want?
What do you really wish?
Where do you really aim for?
And with whom?

It's the first and the last time
For you to live just as yourself
You should draw your own way
After spreading a big map.

"Alterna" Ayumi Hamasaki
(she has the best music ever. >w<)
There were
Only a few things
Truly important and necessary
And the rest were mainly decorations

They might have been
Like the armor
To protect myself from everything

If you are afraid of changes
Watch me at a distance
Whether or not I may do something
I'm talked about behind my back
Let it be

Let me say something more
It was not comfort
But the sense of loss
That the unnecessary things brought to me

Don't misunderstand
That I've reached the goal
Things have just begun at last

I have no wild ambition
Don't take it too seriously
In short
I only want what I want
That's what I say

Even if it's destiny or fate
I'll change that
Because I've fully seen
Fearful things

If you are afraid of changes
Watch me at a distance
Whether or not I may do something
It makes no difference
Let it be

God.. if a song could fit my mood exactly at this moment, it'd be this one.

Cascada - Everytime We Touch
I still hear your voice, when you sleep next to me.
I still feel your touch in my dreams.
Forgive me my weakness, but I don't know why.
Without you it's hard to survive.

Cause everytime we touch, I get this feeling.
And everytime we kiss I swear I could fly.
Can't you feel my heart beat fast, I want this to last.
I need you by my side.
Cause everytime we touch, I feel the static.
And everytime we kiss, I reach for the sky.
Can't you hear my heart beat slow.
I can't let you go.
I want you in my life.

Your arms are my castle, your heart is my sky.
They wipe away tears that I cry.
The good and the bad times, we've been through them all.
You make me rise when I fall.

Cause everytime we touch, I get this feeling.
And everytime we kiss I swear I could fly.
Can't you feel my heart beat fast, I wan

t this to last.
I need you by my side.
Cause everytime we touch, I feel the static.
And everytime we kiss, I reach for the sky.
Can't you hear my heart beat slow.
I can't let you go.
I want you in my life.

Cause everytime we touch, I get this feeling.
And everytime we kiss, I swear I could fly.
Can't you feel my heart beat fast.
I want this to last.
I need u by my side.

I have an egyptian friend that gave me this song. I told her once that I wanted to be the anti-christ. In which she replied that she hoped I was.

"The coming curse" - Iced Earth
I walk the Earth just as They planned
Baptised in fyre from My ancient land
The Coming Curse, your anti-Christ, I am the Watcher's Eye
I vindicate and cleanse the Earth ov all mankind

For many years, I've walked among you
Through the folds ov time and space
Kingdoms fall, leaders die, as I see fit
I devour souls ov those that pose a threat

I walk the Earth another day
The Wicked One that comes this way
Savior to My own, Devil to some
Mankind falls, something wicked comes

I bide My time planning your fate
With bated breath, The Elder wait
The Coming Curse, your anti-Christ, I am the Watcher's Eye
For your crimes on Our kind you all will die

I walk the Earth another day
The Wicked One that comes this way
Savior to My own, Devil to some
Mankind falls, something wicked comes

Forged in the Sacred Flames
On the Sixth Day
Ov the Sixth Month
In the Sixth Hour

I am your anti-Christ, I will destroy mankind
Born ov the Beast and Flames
I will devour, I will divide

Hellfyre rages in My eyes
Blood will fall like rain this nyght
The Coming Curse, the anti-Christ, I am the Watcher's Eye
I vindicate and cleanse the Earth ov all mankind

I walk the Earth another day
The Wicked One that comes this way
Savior to My own, Devil to some
Mankind falls, something wicked comes

It's not like I can relate to this song, but it's just so beautiful. <33
...And tragic. D:

Don Mclean - "Starry, Starry Night"

"Starry, starry night.
Paint your palette blue and grey,
Look out on a summer's day,
With eyes that know the darkness in my soul.
Shadows on the hills,
Sketch the trees and the daffodils,
Catch the breeze and the winter chills,
In colors on the snowy linen land.

Now I understand what you tried to say to me,
How you suffered for your sanity,
How you tried to set them free.
They would not listen, they did not know how.
Perhaps they'll listen now.

Starry, starry night.
Flaming flowers that brightly blaze,
Swirling clouds in violet haze,
Reflect in Vincent's eyes of china blue.
Colors changing hue, morning field of amber grain,
Weathered faces lined in pain,
Are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand.

Now I understand what you tried to say to me,
How you suffered for your sanity,
How you tried to set them free.
They would not listen, they did not know how.
Perhaps they'll listen now.

For they could not love you,
But still your love was true.
And when no hope was left in sight
On that starry, starry night,
You took your life, as lovers often do.
But I could have told you, Vincent,
This world was never meant for one
As beautiful as you.

Starry, starry night.
Portraits hung in empty halls,
Frameless head on nameless walls,
With eyes that watch the world and can't forget.
Like the strangers that you've met,
The ragged men in the ragged clothes,
The silver thorn of bloody rose,
Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow.

Now I think I know what you tried to say to me,
How you suffered for your sanity,
How you tried to set them free.
They would not listen, they're not listening still.
Perhaps they never will... "
