Ohhh Shallow <3

I actually had a serious row with one of my buddies over this song the other day. He claimed the chords were badly chosen and the singing rhythm out of place

Do I bicker over flies in this?

Me think not. Up to defense

always up to defense if someone dares to say something bad about the Poets
ok, I try not to sound like a fanatic: I really think that chords and rhythm used are great. And also satisfying, because it's a song that it's not too hard to play on the guitar while singing

Going through this forum you can easily tell how much listening to POTF has helped us all improving our English (well... at least for me, because I'd never heard this phrase before D4T)

hahahahahaha Lisa.. i haven't heard that phrase before D4T and English is native for me i think its just a fancy little thing Marko's wonderful mind created

Wow Raves, am I really wise entrusting my writings to you

*hides*

well.. anyway English is not native for me, thus I had never even heard the verb to bicker

well i know bicker But why are you ridiculing Bex.. I'm sure thats not common, else i woulda heard it... right?

Hahaha yeah I'm just kidding you you know
I can't even spell "damnit"

To see you when I wake up
Is a gift I didn't think could be real.
To know that you feel the same as I do
Is a three-fold, Utopian dream.

You do something to me
That I can't explain.
So would I be out of line
If I said "I miss you"?

Sixx:A.M - Tomorrow

Where you gonna be tomorrow,
How you gonna face the sorrow,
Where you gonna be when you die,
Cuz nothin's gonna last forever,
Things'll change like the weather,
They're gone in the blink of an eye,
Just look at yourself,
Can you see where you are,
Now you can't hide the scars......

thats me lately, i can't hide anything like i used to, i look vunerble, and weak right now. everything is not what it seems.

Wer du auch seist: am Abend tritt hinaus
aus deiner Stube, drin du alles weißt;
als letztes vor der Ferne liegt dein Haus:
Wer du auch seist.

Part of a poem "Wer du auch seist..." by Rainer Maria Rilke

Translation:
Whoever you are: In the evening step out
of your room, in which you know all;
the last thing before being far away is your house:
Whoever you are.

...or something like that. Nice poem

Yeah, I stumbled upon it while reading a book(House of Leaves, by Mark Danielewski)

My father died six years ago today. This song by the Manic Street Preachers helped me get through this difficult time; the song made me realize that my father had gone to a better place. So you can imagine what it felt like to see the Manics live at Qstock in Oulu last summer; it was surreal!

There by The Grace of God

And all the drugs in the world
Cant save us from ourselves
Victims with the saddest hearts
Passing by the grace of god
There by the grace of god

With grace we will suffer
With grace we shall recover
There by the grace of god
There by the grace of god

Lay down all your guns
Give them up and then move on
It doesnt mean that you are dead
Passing by the grace of god
There by the grace of god

With grace we will suffer
With grace we shall recover
There by the grace of god
There by the grace of god

With grace we will suffer
With grace we shall recover
There by the grace of god
There by the grace of god

There by the grace of god

And all the drugs in the world...

With grace we will suffer
With grace we shall recover
There by the grace of god
There by the grace of god

With grace we will suffer
With grace we shall recover
There by the grace of god
There by the grace of god

And all the drugs in the world
Cant save us from ourselves
Victims with the saddest hearts
Passing by the grace of god
There by the grace of god

Nirvana - Rape Me

Sirkka-My deepest condolences for your loss. I hope to hear that song your posted, because it was amazing to read.

Incubus - The Warmth

I'd like to close my eyes go numb
but there's a cold wind comming from
the top of the highest high-rise today.

It's not a breeze cause it blows hard.
Yes and it's wants me to discard
the humanity I know
Watch the warmth blow away.

Don't let the world bring you down
Not everyone here is that fucked up and cold
Remember why you came
and while you're alive
experience the warmth
before you grow old

Do you think I should adhere
to that pressing new frontier
and leave in my wake a trail of fear?
Or should I hold my head up high
and throw a wrench in spokes by
leaving the air behind me clear?

Been here before

Been here before couldn't say I liked it
Do I start writing all this down?
Just let me plug you into my world
Can't you help me be uncrazy?

Name this for me, heat the cold air
Take the chill off of my life
And if I could I'd turn my eyes
To look inside to see what's comin'

It comes alive
And I die a little more
It comes alive
Each momnent here I die a little more

Then the unnamed feeling
It comes alive
Then the unnamed feeling
Takes me away

I'm frantic in your soothing arms
I can not sleep in this down filled world
I've found safety in this loneliness
But I cannot stand it anymore

Cross my heart and hope not to die
Swallow evil, ride the sky
Lose myself in a crowded room
You fool, you fool, it will be here soon

It comes alive
And I die a little more
It comes alive
Each moment here I die a little more

Then the unnamed feeling
It comes alive
Then the unnamed feeling
Treats me this way
And I wait for this train
Toes over the line
And then the unnamed feeling
Takes me away

Get the f**k out of here
I just wanna get the f**k away from me
I rage, I glaze, I hurt, I hate
I hate it all, why? Why? Why me?

I cannot sleep wth a head like this
I wanna cry, I wanna scream
I rage, I glaze, I hurt, I hate
I wanna hate it all away

Remembrance, can be a sentence, but it comes to you with a second chance in tow
Don't lose it, don't refuse it, cos you cannot learn a thing you think you know

Here's my everything...

Me too...In love with these lyrics...

Shakin Stevens - Merry Christmas Everyone

Suburban tribe - The weight:

"..ask me when I learned to hide
and just how I got to keep it all inside
ask me why I built a wall
‘cause i’ve got no choice
I have to swallow it all
for you
I’m losing my faith
I’m choosing my fate
it’s so late now
I can’t bear the weight.."

The song that made me think of my girlfriend (and made me cry)

Tim McGraw - All we ever find

"Say exactly how you feel
Right now you're free to say it all
There is no one here to judge you
I only love you
You're free to close your eyes and fall
You can trust me, this is real
Say exactly how you feel

Tell me all your dreams
And what you think love means
We'll lock the world outside
Embrace the gift of time
Promising forever
Knowing that this moment
Might be all we ever find

Every breath of who you are
Tells a story that I love
I have finally found the truth
In what I see in you
And what I feel with every touch
The simple beauty of your heart
In every breath of who you are

Tell me all your dreams
And what you think love means
We'll lock the world outside
Embrace the gift of time
Promising forever
Knowing that this moment
Might be all we ever find

Tell me all your dreams
And what you think love means
We'll lock the world outside
Embrace the gift of time
Promising forever
Knowing that this moment
Might be all we ever find

Promising forever
Knowing that this moment
Might be all we ever find"

This is a die ärzte translate... It's in my head now.

REBEL

I'm against it, 'cause you're for it.
I'm against it. I'm not like you, shit.
I'm against it, whatever the target.
I'm against it, 'cause you just don't understand.

I'm agianst it. I'll say it one more time.
Against it, it's my line.
I'm against it, even if that makes me suspect.
I call it freedom. You call it lack of respect.

Please see my behaviour as a token,
of my rejection, total and outspoken,
of you and what you stand for.
Regard my behaviour as a token,
of my rejection, total and unbroken,
of you and all that you value.

I'm no dope, even if that's what you hope.
I'm not lazy. I just don't like to work.
I am not ugly. I just look different than you, jerk.
You've lost the game. Yet refuse to call it by that name.

I am not deaf. You don't have to shout.
I am not blind. I just don't wanna waste my life.
I am not mute. I just refuse to pay tribute.
What can I say? There's no reason anyway.

Please see my behaviour as a token,
of my rejection, total and outspoken,
of you and what you stand for.
Regard my behaviour as a token,
of my rejection, total and unbroken,
of you and all that you value.

And while you're at it,
regard my clothes, my general habit,
as a sign of my non-identification,
with your whole civilization.

No one (no one),
and I mean no one (no one),
no one (no one) has the right,
to tell me how to live my life or what to do (to do).

And I mean no one (no one),
simply no one (no one),
that's no one's business, but mine alone.

I am not poor. I have everything I need.
Feel no pangs of envy toward you or your money.
You're more than welcome to check out my CV.
I do not fret, so why are you so upset?

When you go berserk and beat me up again,
you are just saying, that you are the jerk.
It's yout that I pity, so full of rage you cannot see.
You're the one who's lost. I'm not your child, nor you my boss.

No one (no one),
and I mean no one (no one),
no one (no one) has the right,
to tell me how to live my life or what to do (to do).

And I mean no one (no one),
simply no one (no one),
that's my very own decision.
My opinion,
my clothes, my shoes,
my appearance, my attitude.

Slipknot - Snuff

Bury all your secrets in my skin
Come away with innocence
And leave me with my sins
The air around me still feels like a cage
And love is just a camouflage
For what resembles rage again

So if you love me let me go
And run away before I know
My heart is just too dark to care
I cant destroy what isn't there
Deliver me into my fate
If I'm alone I cannot hate
I don't deserve to have you
My smile was taken long ago
If I can change I hope I never know

I still press your letters to my lips
And cherish them in parts of me that savor every kiss
I couldn't face a life without your light
But all of that was ripped apart...
When you refused to fight

So save your breath I will not hear
I think I made it very clear
You couldn't hate enough to love
Is that supposed to be enough?
I only wish you weren't my friend
Then I could hurt you in the end
I never claimed to be a Saint
My own was banished long ago
It took the death of hope to let you go

So break yourself against my stones
And spit your pity in my soul
You never needed any help
You sold me out to save yourself
And I wont listen to your shame
You ran away, you're all the same
Angels lie to keep control
My love was punished long ago
If you still care, don't ever let me know

If you still care, don't ever let me know...

Manic Street Preachers - The Everlasting

The gap that grows between our lives
The gap our parents never had
Stop those thoughts control your mind
Replace the things that you despise
Oh you're old I hear you say
It doesn't mean that I don't care
I don't believe in it anymore
Pathetic acts for a worthless cause


chorus:
In the beginning when we were winning
When our smiles were genuine
In the beginning when we were winning
When our smiles were genuine

But now unforgiven the everlasting
Everlasting

The world is full of refugees
They're just like you and just like me
But as people we have a choice
To end the void with all its force
So don't forget or don't pretend
It's all the same now in the end
It was set in a different life
Destroys my days and haunts my nights?

chorus

But now unforgiving the everlasting
Everlasting

chorus

Now unforgiving, the everlasting
Everlasting

But now unforgiving, the everlasting
Everlasting

What's the point in making vows
that you're never going to keep?
A lifetime lying awake
means you'll never get to sleep.
And all the promises you've made
They were painful and untrue
Of all the things you do
They reflect worse on you

from Father's Day
by Frank Turner

Ayreon - Nature's Dance

I can smell the grass
and touch the flowers
among the trees
I pass the hours
and fantasize
I let the dance of nature
inspire me
now my mind is free
from apparitions
I switch off like a television
and close my eyes

and I wish that I could see
like everybody can
how I wish that I could be
like any other man

I can't see the sun
but I sense its glow
I hear the sound of water flowing
down the stream
and my heart cries out
for a little bit love
but I know that it was not meant to be
so I'll fulfill my destiny
and accept my fate

still I wish that I could see
like everybody can
how I wish that I could be
like any other man

I wish...

Well today this song describes my feelings

I Don't Care -

I try to make it through my life
In my way
There's you
I try to make it through these lies
And that's all I do

Just don't deny it
Just don't deny it
And deal with it
Yeah, deal with it

You try to break me
You wanna break me
Bit by bit
That's just part of it

If you were dead or still alive
I don't care
I don't care
And all the things you left behind
I don't care
I don't care

I try to make you see my side
I always try to stay in line
But your eyes see right through
That's all they do
I'm getting tired of this shit
I got no room when it's like this
But you wanted me just deal with it

So..

If you were or dead or still alive
I don't care
I don't care
And all the things you left behind
I don't care
I don't care

(I never cared about, I never cared about)

(You won't be there for me, You won't be there for me)

If you were or dead or still alive
I don't care
I don't care
And all the things you left behind
I don't care
I don't care

If you were dead or still alive
I don't care
(I never cared about, I never cared about)
I don't care
And all the things you left behind
I don't care
(You won't be thre for me, You won't be there for me)
I don't care
At all
