Music and Music Lyrics Thread

So what songs are you listening to lately?

Have been listening to Internet radio and heard this Blue October song and really liked the lyrics.

"Picking up Pieces" by Blue October

I really need to talk with you
I keep stepping on the vein
That keeps my lifeline flowing thru
I wanna be your perfect stick of glue
But I don’t feel perfect at all
Sad and insecure flaw

I find it hard to hold conversations
I get sweaty sick and I wanna walk away
Its not you its strictly me in this situation
But, I’m wondering will it ever go away…just go away, still...

Sometimes I feel like weeping
awake and when I’m sleeping
perfecting how to put a game face on

This puzzle I’ve been keeping
has been in hiding creeping out the closet door
spilling out onto the floor

How long will I be picking up pieces?
How long will I be picking up my heart?

Listen, I’ll be as honest as I feel
I feel like I’m getting more paranoid and I’m hearing things
And they never turn out real
It feels like my heart is made of pure steel
It’s just so heavy all the time

I’m scared of death
And I’m scared of living
I gave up on the past cause it’s unforgiving
I misplaced my trust
I watched my word begin to rust
I’m a balloon about to bust
I need a place for reliving. Still...

Sometimes I feel like weeping
awake and when I’m sleeping
perfecting how to put a game face on
this puzzle I’ve been keeping
has been in hiding creeping out the closet door
spilling out onto the floor

How long will I be picking up pieces?
How long will I be picking up my heart? (repeat x 7)

How long (in another space and time)
Keep picking up pieces in the corner of my mind
How long (its getting oh so hard to find)
Keep picking up pieces in the corner of my mind
But I still walk on

Hey ladies -
My ex boyfriend/friend/on again off again FWB's buddy emailed me thes lyrics from Collective Soul 'Staring Down'

Loosened from my pride
Oh that monster kept me so tight
Threw my aces down
just to face the here and the now

So here I'll go again
I want to please
Here I'll go again
Sweet I'll sleep
Sleep till I dream

I've been looking
I've been staring down
I've been searching
I've been staring down
And your love is what I found

As cautious as a thief
Oh but restless in all of my needs
I'm standing here before all I wanted
And all that I've adored

So here I go again
I need to please
Yeah here I go again
Sweet you sleep
Sleep till I dream

I've been looking
I've been staring down
I've been searching
I've been staring down
And your love is what I

Long days, long nights
Just blinded by what was already in sight
Now I've found, I've found my way home
Yeah I found my way home

I've been looking
I've been staring down
I've been searching
I've been staring down

I've been looking
I've been staring down
I've been searching
I've been staring down
And your love is what I found

Pretty deep huh? Love the song though...

Quicksand by Incubus

Ok
Now the monster is awake
It won't rest until there's nothing left
Maybe ever and anon
I forget about the pain
Someone bending light comes along
And flowers lean towards the sun

Some people fall in love and touch the sky
Some people fall in love and find quicksand
I hover somewhere in between
I swear
I can't make up my mind

Dig by Incubus

We all have a weakness
But some of ours are easier to identify
Look me in the eye and ask for forgiveness
We'll make a pact to never speak that word again
Yes, you are my friend

We all have something that digs us
At least we dig each other
So when weakness turns my ego up
I know you'll count on the me from yesterday
If I turn into another
Dig me up from under what is covering the better part of me
Sing this song
Remind me that we'll always have each other
When everything else is gone

We all have a sickness
That cleverly attaches and multiplies
No matter how hard we try

We all have something that digs us
At least we dig each other
So when weakness turns my ego up
I know you'll act as a clever medicine
If I turn into another
Dig me up from under what is covering the better part of me
Sing this song
Remind me that we'll always have each other
When everything else is gone

So as some of you know, I tend to check out what my former guy Mr. M has been favoriting on You Tube and the latest is from Flaming Lips. (They happened to also be one of my ex's fave bands ever)

Title is Feeling Yourself Disintegrate and there's not that many lyrics:

Love in our life is just too valuable
Oh, to feel for even a second without it
But life without death is just impossible
Oh, to realize something is ending within us

Feeling yourself disintegrate
Feeling yourself disintegrate
Feeling yourself disintegrate
Feeling yourself disintegrate
Feeling yourself disintegrate
Feeling yourself disintegrate
Feeling yourself disintegrate
Feeling yourself disintegrate
