Hello everybody!

I wanted to create a thread where you could express how you feel in one or several sentences... (I hope it's comprehensible :P)
You can write it by yourself, take it from lyrics or even from books, whatever you like. :)
You don't have to justify or to explain anything, just write what you want!

Let's start with mine for today:
I am still secretly grateful you're living this moment with me.
PotF - No End, No Beginning

Mine, since a few days, is:

I'm swimming in the smoke of bridges I have burn
So don't apologize, I'm losing what I don't deserve

For now, that's how I feel:

"I choose the way to go, but the road won't set me free
Cos I wish you'd see me, baby, save me, I'm going crazy
Tryin' to keep us real, keep us alive..."

"Don't fool yourself, she was heartache from the moment that you met her"
Forget Her - Jeff Buckley

"I know someday you'll have a beautiful life,
I know you'll be a sun,
In somebody else's sky
But why,
Why,
Why can't it be,
Why can't it be in mine?"

Black - Pearl Jam

"...And instead of saying all of your goodbyes,
Let them know you realize that life goes fast,
It's hard to make the good things last,
You realize the sun doesn't go down,
It's just an illusion caused by the world spinning round."

Do You Realize?? - The Flaming Lips

"And then one day you find,
Ten years have got behind you,
No one told you when to run,
You missed the starting gun."

Time - Pink Floyd


"It makes us worry and takes our dreams,
Sometimes it’s the enemy, or so it seems.
Forces us to hurry this threat through night and day,
It’s owned by the patient, no price to pay."

Time - The Deli Creeps

"It's too late Dad, you made your choice,
Now go out there and show them that you love them more than us,
That's what they want, they want you Marshall,
They keep screaming your name,
It's no wonder you can't go to sleep, just take another pill.
Yeah, I bet you will. You rap about it, yeah, word, k-keep it real."
I hear applause, all this time I couldn't see,
How could it be, that the curtain is closing on me?

I turn around, find a gun on the ground, cock it,
Put it to my brain, scream "Die, Shady!" and pop it,
The sky darkens, my life flashes, the plane that I was supposed to be on crashes, and burns to ashes.
That's when I wake up, alarm clock's ringin',
There's birds singin',
It's Spring and Hailie's outside swinging,
I walk right up to Kim and kiss her,
Tell her I miss her,
Hailie just smiles and winks at her little sister.

When I'm Gone - Eminem

Despite the mainstream and his image, Eminem has some powerful lyrics. I respect him for the subject of a lot of his songs.

I love the Pearl Jam reference by @alexr1129, Black is one of my favorite songs for sure.


Today, really I have been on the comp most of the day squaring away my plans and as happy as I ma to be going, dang, I mean dealing with some of the people making reservations is like this:


"Understand, I'm not falling down"
I said, "Look around, the room's taller now,..."
I can't close my eyes, cause I see the sound
in waves.

In waves, lets me stay calm.

If I don't lose control
explore and not explode
a preternatural other plane
with the power to maintain.

Severed Hand ~ Peal Jam

Most likely some of my conversations were like taking psychotorpics, but I'm not sure.......just surreal probably :shock: :wink:

my worth is the look in your eyes
and my prize is the smile playing tricks on your lips
and i wonder again, do ever dream of the world ? like i do. . .

Never said you'd promise anything
Never told to trust you blindly
Never thought you'd hurt me either

Never had a chance now ain't that so
Never should've wept when you let go
Never thought you'd push me away...

This one's from "The Wise Man's Fear" by Patrick Rothfuss:

Quote:
"It had flaws, but what does that matter when it comes to matters of the heart? We love what we love. Reason does not enter into it. In many ways, unwise love is the truest love. Anyone can love a thing because. That's as easy as putting a penny in your pocket. But to love something despite. To know the flaws and love them too. That is rare and pure and perfect."


And this is from a Kurt Nilssen song:

Quote:
Bring it on, don't care if it is true or fake
It's my turn, searching for another break
Set me free, I only see the setting sun
Let me feel, like my luck has just begun

[...]

Come on, we never know before we try
Come on, theres nothing we can't leave behind
Come on, we're past the time for questions why
Come on, yeah come on, what are we waiting for?


Both quotes sum up how I'm feeling right now pretty well.

"That's the one for me, I must say.
She just keeps on looking, walking, talking, smiling my way.
Oh yeah,
Gotta give that girl a binge and grab."

Binge and Grab - Deli Creeps

"What's the point in living if you don't feel alive?"
Elektra King, The World is Not Enough (James Bond film)
^I know this one is cheesy, but it's stuck with me for all these years.

Biking in the rain, that's what I want to do!
Halfway through
I remembered you
Some years ago, walking, happy, drenched on this road
My clothes are soaking wet, and so is my heart, too

I was thinking about you, thinking about me,
Thinking about us, what we gonna be?
Open my eyes; it was only just a dream...

So I travel back, down that road.
Will you come back? No one knows.
I realize it was only just a dream...



The best cover of Nelly's song "Just a Dream"

Today?

Imma be on the next level
Imma be rockin' over that bass treble
Imma be chillin' with my mutha mutha crew
Imma be makin' all them deals you wanna do

Imma be up in them A-list flicks
Doin' one-handed flips, and Imma be sippin' on drinks
'Cause Imma be shakin' my hips
You gon' be lickin' your lips

Imma be takin them pics, lookin' all fly and shit
Imma be the flyest chick, so fly
Imma be spreadin' my wings
Imma be doin' my thang, do it, do it, okay


Black Eyed Peas ~ Fergie

"What is this chill at my heel
That makes the protections I've built around my pseudo world premiere
Tearing my utopian fiction apart as it happens to just pass along

I feel a change coming on
Rolling out of the blue like a storm
Crashing against my delirious thoughts where humanity's waiting alone"

Poets of the Fall - Change
These are, at least currently, my absolute favorite lyrics.

Well, if I'd have to take it from lyrics, I'd choose the same as the topic starter.

I am still secretly grateful you're living this moment with me.
PotF - No End, No Beginning

I only just downloaded this song off the Digistore the other day and already have 15 listens, on my 16th now.
Beautiful lyric. :)
