Your Song

[2010DigitalBoy]

Everyone has a song that they like and can relate too. Sont of what they convey as their message, what they have to say to others. There are several songs I feel that way about, and here's one of em.

[COLOR=Navy][B]Escape From The City[/B]

Rolling around at the speed of sound,
Got places to go, gotta follow my rainbow.
Can't stick around, have to keep moving on,
Guess what lies ahead, only one way to find out!
Must keep on moving ahead,
No time for guessing, follow my plan instead.
Trusting in what you can't see,
Take my lead I'll set you free.

Follow me, set me free,
Trust me and we will escape from the city.
I'll make it through, follow me.
Follow me, set me free,
Trust me and we will escape from the city.
I'll make it through prove it to you.

Follow me!
Oh yeah!

Danger is lurking around every turn,
Trust your feelings, got to live and learn.
I know with some luck that I'll make it through,
Got no other options, only one thing to do!
I don't care what lies ahead,
No time for guessing, follow my plan instead.
Find the next stage, no matter what that may be.
Take my lead, I'll set you free.

Follow me, set me free,
Trust me and we will escape from the city.
I'll make it through, follow me.
Follow me, set me free,
Trust me and we will escape from the city.
I'll make it through through, prove it to you.

Follow me!
Follow me![/COLOR]

[FONT=Times New Roman][COLOR=Sienna]I love the song 'Throwing off Glass' by the Tragically Hip. The pace of the song suits me well. Very slow and laid-back.



[B]
Throwing off Glass by the Tragically Hip

"Why is the world so creepy?" she asked
After a car full of haircuts drove past
A backseat full of 'the boys'

I told her that 'It isn't...
that...that it's exquisite
but like love, it has it's barbarous threats

Still in spite of the cads
and the stoop-shouldered teens
I know I'm losing you
I know what that means, yea

I told her that it isn't
That it's real exquisite
but like love, it can have it's
stubbed-toe effects

And just like after she heard
the word 'iridescent'
and everything was iridescent for awhile,
It wasn't long
before she exalted out of nowhere,
'Isn't this exquisite?'

Once you've said 'mmm' in unison
and 'oh' in double surprise
and shared relief with a mutual 'phew'
and a look in each others' eyes

I tell her that is isn't
Insisted that it isn't
because like love
it has too-cunning effects

I told her that it isn't
that it's just exquisite
because like love it has
it's barbarous threats

'Why is the world so creepy?' she asked
after a car full of haircuts drove past
a backseat full of the boys
Breaking glass
Throwing off glass.[/B]

Another would be Rush's Subdivisons


Sprawling on the fringes of the city
In geometric order
An insulated border
In between the bright lights
And the far unlit unknown

Growing up it all seems so one-sided
Opinions all provided
The future pre-decided
Detached and subdivided
In the mass production zone
Nowhere is the dreamer or the misfit so alone

Chorus
(Subdivisions)
In the high school halls
In the shopping malls
Conform or be cast out
(Subdivisions)
In the basement bars
In the backs of cars
Be cool or be cast out
Any escape might help to smooth the unattractive truth
But the suburbs have no charms to soothe the restless dreams of youth

Drawn like moths we drift into the city
The timeless old attraction
Cruising for the action
Lit up like a firefly
Just to feel the living night

Some will sell their dreams for small desires
Or lose the race to rats
Get caught in ticking traps
And start to dream of somewhere
To relax their restless flight
Somewhere out of a memory of lighted streets on quiet nights...[/B]

[font=Garamond][size=2]I have so many I'll just give a few and explain why I like them. [/size][/font]

[font=Garamond][size=2][/size][/font]
[font=Garamond][size=2]The first one is Vampire Heart by HIM. [/size][/font]
[font=Garamond]Vmpire Heart~ You can't escape the wrath of my heart beating to your funeral song all faith is lust for hell regained and love dust in the hands of shame let me bleed you this song of my heart deformed and lend you along this path in the dark where I belong until I feel your warmth hold me like you held on to life when all fears came alive and entombed me love me like you loved the sun scorching the blood in my vampire heart I am the thorns in every rose you've been sent by hope I am the nightmare waking you up from the dream of a dream of love let me weep you this poem as heaven'g gates close and paint you my soul scarred and alone waithing for you kiss to take me back home.[/font]

[font=Garamond][size=2][/size][/font]
[font=Garamond][size=2]The second song is called Killing Loneliness by HIM[/size][/font]
[font=Garamond][size=2]Killing Loneliness~Memories sharp as daggers pierce into the flesh of today the suicide of love took away all the matters and buried the remains in an unmarked grave in your heart with the venomous kiss you gave me I'm killing Loneliness with the warmth of your arms you saved me I'm killing loneliness with you the killing loneliness that turned mu heart into a tomb nailed to a cross together as solitude begs us to stay we disappear in the lie forever and denousce the power of death over our souls as secret words are said to start a war. [/size][/font]
[font=Garamond][/font]
[font=Garamond][size=2][/size][/font]
[font=Garamond][size=2]I all ready know that these songs are really weird but if you look closely at the lyrics you can see that in killing loneliness the song writer is alot happier then what he was when he wrote Vampire Heart. That is another why I like them because one is talking about the darker side to love (Vampier Heart] with break ups and stuff and the other is talking about how he either got bak together with the one he loves or he found another, this is why he is not lonely any more. [/size][/font]
[font=Garamond][/font]

[font=Garamond]Someone's built a candy castle[/font]

[font=Garamond]Someone's built a candy house[/font]
[font=Garamond]To house her in.[/font]

[font=Garamond]Little runaway girl[/font]
[font=Garamond]Oh sweet sixteen[/font]
[font=Garamond]Oh[/font][/size]
[font=Garamond][size=2]The reason I like this song is that it holds a merorie in which at one point in some one life they search for there long lost sweet sixteen. He had found her but she left him for some reason right after he gave her every thing that he could. It also tells that not even though he thought that he had gave her every thing she wanted it wa not enough for her. This could also be a reason she left him.[/size][/font]

Loved, loved, [i]loved[/i] that first one, Ziggy. =D

The first song that came to mind for me was "The Impression That I Get" by The Mighty Mighty Bosstones. It's their biggest (read: only) hit, maybe, but not without good reason. I love the Bosstones' lyrics. Not poetic at all, but they say exactly what they're supposed to, clearly and succinctly. This song in particular reflects probably the most prominent way I try to look at things in my life.

[b]The Impression That I Get[/b]

Have you ever been close to tragedy
Or close to folks who have?
Have you ever felt a pain so powerful
So heavy you collapse?

No? Well...

I never had to knock on wood
But I know someone who has
Which makes me wonder if I could
It makes me wonder if
I never had to knock on wood
And I'm glad I haven't yet
Because I'm sure it isn't good
That's the impression that I get

have you ever had the odds stacked up so high
You need a strength most don't possess?
Or has it ever come down to do or die?
You've got to rise above the rest

No? Well...

I never had to knock on wood
But I know someone who has
Which makes me wonder if I could
It makes me wonder if
I never had to knock on wood
And I'm glad I haven't yet
Because I'm sure it isn't good
That's the impression that I get

I'm not a coward, I've just never been tested
I'd like to think that if I was I would pass
Look at the tested and think there but for the grace go
I might be a coward, I'm afraid of what I might find out

I never had to but I'd better knock on wood
'Cause I know someone who has
Which makes me wonder if I could
It makes me wonder if
I never had to but I'd better knock on wood
And I'm glad I haven't yet
Because I'm sure it isn't good
That's the impression that I get

[color=crimson] I picked "Through the Fire" by Christian metal band, Day of Fire, it's a great rock track and it's lyrics are sufficently uplifting and spiritual to boot.

[quote] [i]Day Of Fire Lyrics[/i]
[font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=2]Walk in the flame again,
I'll be there to hold your hand,
Keeping you safe until the end
And when the flood begins,
I'll be there with you to stand,
Walking in faith until the end[/size][/font]

[font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=2]Chorus:
I see you through the flood,
See you through the fire,
See you through the storms-a-raging.[/size][/font]

[font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=2]Walking the darkest rain
I cover you by my name,
A shelter inside your world of pain
Step on the waters waves
Coming to me by faith
I am the light of better days[/size][/font]

[font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=2](Chorus)[/size][/font]

[font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=2]I see you through the flood,
I see you through the fire,
I see you thorough,
the storms are raging[/size][/font]

[font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=2]don't be afraid
I'll never leave you lying
Forever yours[/size][/font]

[font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=2]Forever yours
Forever yours I am[/quote][/size][/font][/color]

[Renate]

I myself picked Wunderkind by Alanis Morissette. The first time I heard it I thought it exactly voiced my own feelings, what I want the world to be like for me. Especially the naive part fits me sometimes!

[U][B]Wunderkind[/B] [/U]

Oh perilous place walk backwards toward you
Blink disbelieving eyes chilled to the bone
Most visibly brave no aprehended gloom
First to take this foot to virgin snow

I am a magnet for all kinds of deeper wonderment
I am a wunderkind oh oh oh oooooh
And I lift the envelope pushed far enough to believe this
I am a princess on the way to my throne

Destined to serve, destined to roam

Oh ominous place spellbound and unchild-proofed
My least favorite chill to bare alone
Compatriots in place they'd cringe if I told you
Our best back-pocket secret our bond full-blown

I am a magnet for all kinds of deeper wonderment
I am a wunderkind oh oh oh oooooh
I am a pioneer naive enough to believe this
I am a princess on the way to my throne

Destined to seek, destined to know

Most beautiful place reborn and blown off roof
My view about-face whether great will be done

I am a magnet for all kinds of deeper wonderment
I am a wunderkind oh oh oh oooooh
I am a ground-breaker naive enough to believe this
I am a princess on the way to my throne

I am a magnet for all kinds of deeper wonderment
I am a wunderkind oh oh oh oooooh
I am a Joan of Arc and smart enough to believe this
I am a princess on the way to my throne

Destined to reign, destined to roam
Destined to reign, destined to roam
Destined to reign, destined to roam
Destined to reign, destined to roam

[KatanaViolet]

Oh my goodness, there are so many... but lets start with one...
[B]NOFX- Decom Poseur[/B]

She's a painting out of focus, with no good sense of intention
She's authentic
She's a model of disaster with the heart of revolution
She's so innocent, but guilty's her plea
Everybody wants to save her from her self, they really want to save themselves

She's got the grace of a tourist, with the charm of demolition
She's a poem without meter or rhyme, a random design of a flower
Like a rose... no one really knows.
She's a masterpeice deserving restoration or condemnation
Time will tell us, if she's a lifer, or a decomposeur
She is rose, no one really knows.

[B]From the Inside[/B]

I don't know who to trust
No surprise
Everyone feels so far away from me
Heavy thoughts sift through dust
And the lies

Trying not to break
But I'm so tired of this deceit
Every time I try to make myself
Get back up on my feet
All I ever think about is this
All the tiring time between
And how
Trying to put my trust in you
Just takes so much out of me

I take everything from the inside
And throw it all away
'Cause I swear/for the last time
I won't trust myself with you

Tension is building inside
Steadily
Everyone feels so far away from me
Heavy thoughts forcing their way
Out of me

Trying not to break
But I'm so tired of this deceit
Every time I try to make myself
Get back up on my feet
All I ever think about is this
All the tiring time between
And how
Trying to put my trust in you
Just takes so much out of me

I take everything from the inside
And throw it all away
'Cause I swear/for the last time
I won't trust myself with you
I won't waste myself on you, you, you
Waste myself on you, you, you

I'll take everything from the inside
And throw it all away
'Cause I swear/for the last time
I won't trust myself with you
Everything from the inside
And just throw it all away
'Cause I swear/for the last time
I won't trust myself with you, you, you

[Rhym]

[FONT=Times New Roman][COLOR=DarkSlateGray]Well, personally, the song I most relate to would have to be Rhapsody's [b]Triumph For My Magic Steel[/b]...

All kidding aside, my song would have to be Opeth's [b]The Drapery Falls[/b]. This song is truly amazing. It's probably my favorite song off of Blackwater Park, which, in my opinion, is one of the greatest albums ever made, so there you go.

[b]The Drapery Falls

Please remedy my confusion
And thrust me back to the day
The silence of your seclusion
Brings night into all you say

Pull me down again
And guide me into pain

I'm counting nocturnal hours
Drowned visions in haunted sleep
Faint flickering of your powers
Leaks out to show what you keep

Pull me down again
And guide me into...

There is failure inside
This test I can't persist
Kept back by the enigma
No criterias demanded here
Deadly patterns made my wreath
Prosperous in your ways
Pale ghost in the corner
Pouring a caress on your shoulder
Puzzled by shrewd innocence
Runs a thick tide beneath
Ushered into inner graves
Nails bleeding from the struggle
It is the end for the weak at heart
Always the same
A lullaby for the ones who've lost all
Reeling inside
My gleaming eye in your necklace reflects
Stare of primal regrets
You turn your back and you walk away
Never again

Spiralling to the ground below
Like Autumn leaves left in the wake to fade away
Waking up to your sound again
And lapse into the ways of misery[/b]

I don't really think I can relate to the lyrics (or think I even know what they mean) but the song, and how his (Mikael Åkerfeldt's) vocals mesh with it, weave this beautiful musical tapestry.[/FONT][/COLOR]

[jigglyness]

I think many people can relate to this song including me. It's pretty much about how relationships can start to lose the love they once had and how people would cling to each other to be in a relationship.

[b]Senses Fail - Choke on this[/b]

Half smoke cigarettes and you're the trash that infests my sheets
can't make a wife out of a whore, don't want your skin on me
And you're, you're addicted to the drug of lust
Detoxing the cold sweat of shame
and I love your pain

I gave you these roses now but I left in the thorns
I'd rather hurt someone then hurt myself
I'll dispose of you like a lighter out of fuel
I'll lose you somewhere on a dusty shelf

Sot his love's been worn down, like songs on a tape
The sex has lost all of its fun, like gum loses taste
And you're, you're addicted to the drug of lust,
Detoxing the cold sweat of shame
and I love your pain

I gave you these roses now but I left in the thorns
I'd rather hurt someone then hurt myself
I'll dispose of you like a lighter out of fuel
I'll lose you somewhere on the shelf

I'm here lying in your bed babe
Remember what you said to me
"You can be my James Dean, I'll be your sweet queen"
I said that you were my first, but you weren't even close now
Like a frame in a movie, you're just one of many
Can you grant me one last wish
Play russian roulette as we kiss
I'll be your cheap novelty
Blow your brains out on me

I gave you these roses now but I left in the thorns
I'd rather hurt someone then hurt myself
I'll dispose of you like a lighter out of fuel
I'll lose you somewhere on the shelf

[Ezekiel]

[COLOR=DarkOrange][SIZE=1]I have so many favourite songs and ones that I feel 'represent' me somehow, because I choose my favourite bands on the pure fact that they write lyrics I can relate to. One, however, I always feel would be 'my song' is probably 'I'm a Fake' by The Used. I'm not really sure why, I just always feel like it's me when I listen to it.

[U][B]I'm a Fake[/B][/U]
[I](Spoken)[/I]
Small, simple, safe price
Rise the wake and carry me with all of my regrets
This is not a small cut that scabs, and dries, and flakes, and heals
And I am not afraid to die
I'm not afraid to bleed, and ****, and fight.
I want the pain of payment
What's left, but a section of pigmy size cuts
Much like a slew of a thousand unwanted ****s
Would you be my little cut?
Would you be my thousand ****s?
And make mark leaving space for the guilt to be liquid
To fill, and spill over, and under my thoughts
My sad, sorry, selfish cry out to the cutter
I'm cutting trying to picture your black broken heart
Love is not like anything
[I]Especially a ******* knife![/I]

Look at me, you can tell
By the way I move and do my hair
Do you think that it's me or it's not me?
I don't even care
I'm alive
I don't smell
I'm the cleanest I have ever been.
I feel big, I feel tall, I feel dry (dry)

[I][Chorus:][/I]
Just look at me, look at me now
I'm a fake [x4]
Just look at me, look at me now
I'm a fake [x4]

Do I drink? Do I date?
I've got perfect placement all my ink
Satisfied, in your eyes
I'm the biggest fan I've got right now
I made sure, that I look how I wanted to look
The people around me, the people surround me
I feel big, I feel tall, I feel dry (dry)

[I][Chorus][/I]

My stomach hurts now, and all tied off in lace
I pray, I beg for anything, to hit me in the face
and this sicknes isn't me, I pray to fall from grace
The last thing I see is feeling
And I'm telling you I'm a fake [x4]
And I'm telling you I'm...

[I][Chorus][/I]

If you haven't heard the song, or some of the Used's heavier music, then some of the lyrics will seem a little less important. It's so much better actually listening to it.

I was going to say "Dear Jamie (Sincerely Me)" was a song I relate to, but that would be cheating, because the only thing I have in common with it is my name. =P[/SIZE][/COLOR]

[DNAngel360]

Well the song i relate too is from a christian rock band called skillet the song is called

Imperfection

You're worth so much
It'll never be enough
To see what you have to give
How beutiful you are
Yet seem so far
From everything you're wanting to be
Tears falling down again
Tears falling down

(chorus)
You fall to your knees
You beg you plead
Can i be somebody else for all the times i hate myself
Your failures devour your heart in every hour
Your drowning in your imperfection

You mean so much
That heaven would touch
The face of humankind for you
How special you are
Revel in your day
You're fearfully and wonderfully made

(chorus)
You fall to your knees
You beg you plead
Can i be somebody else for all the times i hate myself
Your failures devour your heart in every hour
Your drowning in your imperfection

You're worth so much
So easily crushed
Wanna be like everyone else
No one escapes
Every breath we take
Dealing with our own skeleton's
(chorus)
You fall to your knees
You beg you plead
Can i be somebody else for all the times i hate myself
Your failures devour your heart in every hour
Your drowning in your imperfection

[saru-miha]

Well, My favorite song for the music is Carnation. It's just plain beautiful.
But my favorite for the lyrics is In My Defense. Freddie Mercury <33


In my defense
What is there to say?
All the mistakes we've made
Must be faced today

It's not easy now...
Knowing where to start.
While the world we loved.
Tears itself apart.

I'm just a singer with a song.
How can I try
To right the wrong?
For just a singer with a melody
I'm caught in between
With a fading dream.

In my defense
What is there to say?
We destroy the love
It's our way.

We never listen enough
Never faced the truth
And like a passing song
Love is here and then it's gone.

I'm just a singer with a song
How can I try
To write the wrong?
For just a singer with a melody
I'm caught in between
With a fading dream.

-guitar-

Just a singer with a song
How can I try
To right the wrong?
For just a singer with a melody
I'm caught in between
With a fading dream...

Caught in between
With a fading dream...

Caught in between
With a fading dream...

Oh what about love?

How do I try to relive
or die...

Help me God
Please help me.

[FONT=Arial][SIZE=1]ok i have 2 songs

the first is by ani difranco : so what

who's gonna give a ****
who's gonna take the call
when you find out that the road ahead
is painted on a wall
and you're turned up to top volume
and you're just sitting there in pause
with your feral little secret
scratching at you with its claws
and you're trying hard to figure out
just exactly how you feel
before you end up parked and sobbing
forehead on the steering wheel

who are you now
and who were you then
that you thought somehow
you could just pretend
that you could figure it all out
the mathematics of regret
[B]so it takes two beers to remember now
and five to forget
that i loved you so
yeah, i loved you, so what[/B]

how many times undone
can one person be
as they're careening through the facade
of their favorite fantasy
you just close your eyes slowly
like you're waiting for a kiss
and hope some lowly little power
will pull you out of this
but none comes at first
and little comes at all
and when inspiration finally hits you
it barely even breaks your fall

who were you then
and who are you
now that you can't pretend
that you can figure it all out
subtract out the impact
and the fall is all you get
so it takes two beers to remember now
and three more to forget
that i loved you so
yeah, i loved you, so what
[B]i loved you
so what[/B]

and the other one would have to be tracy chapman : fast car

You got a fast car
I want a ticket to anywhere
Maybe we make a deal
Maybe together we can get somewhere

Anyplace is better
Starting from zero got nothing to lose
Maybe we'll make something
But me myself I got nothing to prove

You got a fast car
And I got a plan to get us out of here
I been working at the convenience store
Managed to save just a little bit of money
We won't have to drive too far
Just 'cross the border and into the city
You and I can both get jobs
And finally see what it means to be living

You see my old man's got a problem
He live with the bottle that's the way it is
He says his body's too old for working
I say his body's too young to look like his
My mama went off and left him
She wanted more from life than he could give
I said somebody's got to take care of him
So I quit school and that's what I did

You got a fast car
But is it fast enough so we can fly away
We gotta make a decision
We leave tonight or live and die this way

[B]I remember we were driving driving in your car
The speed so fast I felt like I was drunk
City lights lay out before us
And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder
And I had a feeling that I belonged
And I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone [/B]

You got a fast car
And we go cruising to entertain ourselves
You still ain't got a job
And I work in a market as a checkout girl
I know things will get better
You'll find work and I'll get promoted
We'll move out of the shelter
Buy a big house and live in the suburbs
You got a fast car
And I got a job that pays all our bills
You stay out drinking late at the bar
See more of your friends than you do of your kids
I'd always hoped for better
Thought maybe together you and me would find it
I got no plans I ain't going nowhere
So take your fast car and keep on driving

[B]You got a fast car
But is it fast enough so you can fly away
You gotta make a decision
You leave tonight or live and die this way [/B] [/SIZE] [/FONT]

I have alot of songs that I can relate to but here's one I can [I]really[/I] relate to. it's called the 4th Branch by immortal technique ( it's hip hop so I expect no one to have heard of it. But if u have, then cool.)

Talking]
The new age is upon us
And yet the past refuses to rest in its shallow grave
For those who hide behind the false image of the son of man
shall stand before God!!! It has begun
The beginning of the end
Yeah..
Yeah... yeah, yeah

[Verse 1]
The voice of racism preaching the gospel is devilish
A fake church called the prophet Muhammad a terrorist
Forgetting God is not a religion, but a spiritual bond
And Jesus is the most quoted prophet in the Qu'ran
They bombed innocent people, tryin' to murder Saddam
When you gave him those chemical weapons to go to war with Iran
This is the information that they hold back from Peter Jennings
Cause Condoleeza Rice is just a new age Sally Hemmings
I break it down with critical language and spiritual anguish
The Judas I hang with, the guilt of betraying Christ
You murdered and stole his religion, and painting him white
Translated in psychologically tainted philosophy
Conservative political right wing, ideology
Glued together sloppily, the blasphemy of a nation
Got my back to the wall, cause I'm facin' assassination
Guantanamo Bay, federal incarceration
How could this be, the land of the free, home of the brave?
Indigenous holocaust, and the home of the slaves
Corporate America, dancin' offbeat to the rhythm
You really think this country, never sponsored terrorism?
Human rights violations, we continue the saga
El Savador and the contras in Nicaragua
And on top of that, you still wanna take me to prison
Just cause I won't trade humanity for patriotism

[Hook]
It's like MK-ULTRA, controlling your brain
Suggestive thinking, causing your perspective to change
They wanna rearrange the whole point of view of the ghetto
The fourth branch of the government, want us to settle
A bandana full of glittering, generality
Fighting for freedom and fighting terror, but what's reality?
Read about the history of the place that we live in
And stop letting corporate news tell lies to your children

[Verse 2]
Flow like the blood of Abraham through the Jews and the Arabs
Broken apart like a woman's heart, abused in a marriage
The brink of holy war, bottled up, like a miscarriage
Embedded correspondents don't tell the source of the tension
And they refuse to even mention, European intervention
Or the massacres in Jenin, the innocent screams
U.S. manufactured missles, and M-16's
Weapon contracts and corrupted American dreams
Media censorship, blocking out the video screens
A continent of oil kingdoms, bought for a bargain
Democracy is just a word, when the people are starvin'
The average citizen, made to be, blind to the reason
A desert full of genocide, where the bodies are freezin'
And the world doesn't believe that you fightin' for freedom
Cause you ****** the Middle East, and gave birth to a demon
It's open season with the CIA, bugging my crib
Trapped in a ghetto region like a Palestinian kid
Where nobody gives a **** whether you die or you live
I'm tryin' to give the truth, and I know the price is my life
But when I'm gone they'll sing a song about Immortal Technique
Who beheaded the President, and the princes and sheiks
You don't give a **** about us, I can see through your facade
Like a fallen angel standing in the presence of God
***** niggaz scared of the truth, when it looks at you hard

[Hook]
It's like MK-ULTRA, controlling your brain
Suggestive thinking, causing your perspective to change
They wanna rearrange the whole point of view in the ghetto
The fourth branch of the government, want us to settle
A bandana full of glittering, generality
Fighting for freedom and fighting terror, but what's reality?
Martial law is coming soon to the hood, to kill you
While you hanging your flag out your project window

[Talking]
Yeah..
The fourth branch of the government AKA the media
Seems to now have a retirement plan for ex-military officials
As if their opinion was at all unbiased
A machine shouldn't speak for men
So shut the **** up you mindless drone!
And you know it's serious
When these same media outfits are spending millions of dollars on a PR campaign
To try to convince you they're fair and balanced
When they're some of the most ignorant, and racist people
Giving that type of mentality a safe haven
We act like we share in the spoils of war that they do
We die in wars, we don't get the contracts to make money off 'em afterwards!
We don't get weapons contracts, nigga!
We don't get cheap labor for our companies, nigga!
We are cheap labor, nigga!
Turn off the news and read, nigga!
Read... read... read...

First off - Rhym, hell yes on the song choice (as usual). The Drapery Falls has seriously got to be one of the most incredible and moving songs ever written as far as I'm concerned.

Anyway, I can't really tell if this is for "favorite song" or "relate to song", because a bit of both seems to be going on. I don't know why I care too much, because I doubt anyone will read this. :animesigh Oh well.

This one's called "[I]This Godless Endeavor[/I]" by metal band Nevermore. I've picked it because, like many, I am tormented by spiritual questions.

[B]NEVERMORE - [I]THIS GODLESS ENDEAVOR[/I][/B]

And on the open road we came to a sign
For it was foretold that the weak would inherit
And nothing would change
Here we are at the crossroads, standing face to back
Still afraid to see our eyes
I feel helpless and alone, trapped on the third stone

Sitting here sideways on the cold stone floor
My guitar gently bleeding and wanting more
When I heard a sound of rapping,
Tapping on my door

Hello, I'm happy to meet you
[In your confidence is it safe?]
Sit down, I'm happy to greet you
[To feed your greedy dog at the edge of the stage?]
But before, before you slam the door
Tell me when, tell me why, tell me what this f-cking life is for
We fly through this godless endeavor
We try to explain the black forever

I feel helpless and alone, trapped on the third stone

I feel permanently stoned, this godless endeavor the only cage I've known

Our organic equation has shown it's flaw
Can we agree to disagree on the concept of god?
As I lifted up my brother he said to me
"Abandon naive realism, surrender thought in cold precision"

I feel empty and deranged, denied one last epiphany and ushered from the stage

Thou shalt not question!
The role of science is not to eliminate god
As alternative gods multiply science stands accused of theocide

Consume, conform

The children sitting in the trees, they turn to laugh at me
They tell me that I'm insane, but in my mind I know I'm to blame
Alone within my lunacy, dementia fills the void within me
No testament, prayer or diseased lament can heal my wounds
They are so discontent

All the faithful fall onto their knees
And praise the priests of industrial disease

We contemplate oblivion as we resonate our dissonance
In godless random interpretation
The universe still expands
Mankind still can't understand how to define you
So hide your face and watch us exterminate ourselves over you

Welcome to the end my friend, the sky has opened
