Title: Audioslave - Like A Stone lyrics

Artist: Audioslave

on a cobweb afternoon
in a room full of emptiness
by a freeway i confess
i was lost in the pages
of a book full of death
reading how we'll die alone
and if we're good we'll lay to rest
anywhere we want to go

(chorus)
in your house i long to be
room by room patiently
i'll wait for you there
like a stone i'll wait for you there
alone

on my deathbed i will pray
to the gods and the angels
like a pagan to anyone
who will take me to heaven
to a place i call
i was there so long ago
the sky was bruised
the wine was bled
and there you led me on

in your house i long to be
room by room patiently
i'll wait for you there
like a stone i'll wait for you there
alone

and on i read
until the day was gone
and i sat in regret
of all the things i've done
for all that i've blessed
and all that i've wronged
in dreams until my death
i will wander on

english lyrics
English Translation
You've been hurt by an unhealed pain, in sadness
We'll go on being burdened with our undisappearing pasts
I hold your hand
Not abandoning life

Will we lost it all one day?
I want to protect you and your smile, but they're fading away
Even the voice that calls out to me is dying
The wind that follows along time disappears
I find you

You've been hurt by an unhealed pain, in sadness
"I can't smile anymore, I don't like people", don't say those words
A future that can't be seen will occur, there's meaning in that
For right now everything is fine as it is now; certainly you must notice that the time is coming
Just like someone who's rusty

Lying atop one another is futile
You said that you could live your life alone
You began to ache with the mundane kind words
So much that now they aren't coming to you

Wow, your hand that I'm holding
Wow, longs for a casual gentleness
Do you remember?
By knowing pain, you can be gentle to someone
Drive your life

You have been hurt by an unhealed pain, in sadness
"I can't smile anymore, I don't like people", don't say those words
A future that can't be seen will occur, there's meaning in that
For right now everything is fine as it is now; certainly you must notice that the time is coming
Just like someone who's rusty

How can I see the meaning of life
It's disappearing, you're the only...

You who are leaving, wished for it not to break
"I can't smile anymore, I don't like people", don't say those words
Now, by and by, I won't be able to see
There is meaning in all of that
We'll go on being burdened with our undisappearing pasts
Not abandoning life

You'd better forget everything
Remember... your different life?
You'd better forget everything
Remember... there's no going back
But wow, throughout time, one day, we'll understand
Like a warped memory

The Doors - People Are Strange lyrics

People are strange when youre a stranger
Faces look ugly when youre alone
Women seem wicked when youre unwanted
Streets are uneven when youre down
When youre strange
Faces come out of the rain
When youre strange
No one remembers your name
When youre strange x3
People are strange when youre a stranger
Faces look ugly when youre alone
Women seem wicked when youre unwanted
Streets are uneven when youre down
When youre strange
Faces come out of the rain
When youre strange
No one remembers your name
When youre strange x3
When youre strange
Faces come out of the rain
When youre strange
No one remembers your name
When youre strange x3

How The Fuck Do I Embed This Shit???

[uziel]

If you just insert the url to your youtube video, it automaticly changes it into an embedded video (isn't it amazing)

[Giacomo]

It is true, losing my voice has resulted in a 70 year old smoker voice.

On a more relevant note, Muse rocks for Giacomo at the moment.
Knights of Cydonia is like a continual orgasm. And the video clip is a work of art also. Brilliant.

Yes.

The lyrics also, in my interpretation make a statement about doing things for yourself. Very relevant to people who want to get improve themselves.
Just listen to the song bitches!

Come ride with me
Through the veins of history

When fools can be Kings
Dont waste your time
Or time will waste you...

No'ones gonna take me alive

You and I must fight for our rights
You and I must fight to survive

No one's gonna take me alive
The time has come to make things right
You and I must fight for our rights
You and I must fight to survive

No one's gonna take me alive
The time has come to make things right
You and I must fight for our rights
You and I must fight to survive...

Bloc Party - So Here We Are
I caught a glimpse
But it's been forgotten
So here we are
Again

I made a vow
To carry you home

I really tried
To be what you wanted
It all went wrong
Again

I made a vow
To carry you home
If you feel sick
If you pass out

I figured it out

I can see it again

The Panics - This Day Last Year
Oh, if it ain't so far out of sight,
falling back and forth and behind.
That hour's come and gone
the signal to belong
don't knock on my door
on my door.

Finally found
the one I'm feeling now.
Let it slide
while life ain't on your side.

Oh living there don't stop in my time
You've shown me to a safe state of mind
With all four engines gone
we're falling overboard
don't say I'm not wrong
I'm not wrong

Finally found
the one I'm feeling now.
Let it slide
while life ain't on your side.

Finally found
Let it go without a sound
Realise... (NO IDEA)

Band of Horses - The Funeral
I’m coming up only to hold you under
I’m coming up only to show you wrong
And to know you is hard and we wonder
To know you all wrong we were
Ooo Ooo

Really too late to call so we wait for
Morning to wake you is all we got
To know me as hardly golden
To know me all wrong they were

And every occasion I will be ready for the funeral
And every occasion once more is called the funeral
Every occasion I am ready for the funeral
And every occasion one brilliant day funeral

I am coming up only to show you down for it
I am coming up only to show you wrong
To the outside
The dead leaves, they are alive
For they don’t have trees to hang their hearts
Ooo Ooo

And every occasion I will be ready for the funeral
And every occasion once more is called the funeral
And every occasion I am ready for the funeral
And every occasion one brilliant day funeral

P.O.S - P.O.S is Ruining My Life

It was buried under a flask and I
Caught it peeping from the bottom of a glass,
All this nonsense, innocence, common sense, consequence
Indulgence in Bourbon, this herb, a Twin City kid’s just disturbed

I look around and see the same shit from her
She could just sit silent and watch her life just pass by in a blur
Ain’t it funny, we can sneak into our lives in a stir,
Over the perfect things to say and then just choke on the words

Everybody wanna be the next,
Everybody wanna be in step,
Everybody wanna fuck,
Everybody want the consequence of playing the fence,
Everybody got shit luck,
Everybody wanna move to they own beat,
Everybody wanna make a dent,
Every girl's just looking for the next best thing,
Every boy's in love with his girls best friend,
Everybody hates me
Everybody wanna fight.

We can't stand to wake up in sun
But can't sleep in the moonlight
I'm right there witcha
I'm sicker than my own skin
I got the clothes and the jaded grin
I'm at the bar or the coffee shop
But I don't like drinking and I fucking hate coffee shops.
I'm off to stop the world, this world is spinning like a tilt-a-whirl
This ain't amusement, I'm a loser
It's bullshit, I give two cents, and everyone seems
to have the same change but can't break my fiver.
Two cents? Yeah right, I can't spend nothing if I'm holding the cup it's like


If you calm down then just breathe and just breathe in and out
You’ll feel a whole lot better, close your eyes
Dissappear, if you can’t see them then they can’t see you, right?
Close your eyes.

I can never be what I want to be
Nothing but a man
Nothing's even inside of me
Nothing I can understand, if I try
And so I try to get a grip,
A hold, a handle, a hand, this.

And it's strange to think it might break
Scratch
Crack
Silence
This.

And it's strange to think it might break
Scratch
Crack

AH! Live in the city
Like any other, we all live alone,
The only difference is we don't seem to know it
Frozen, and lonesome when it's cold
In the summer gotta wait for the loathing
Holding our posture so low
And we drink, so there's not much worth noting

Strolling, so vacant, so shaken,
So cold, so gone, so mistaken,
So broke so, so complacent,
So worn out, so worn out, so worn out

So full of doubt, so full of restraint,
So full of that self control,
Or the lack thereof,
That we doubt the soul.

this is a remix to a killers song done by gabriel & dresden

lyrics start at 2:00
---------------------------------------------

On the corner of main street
Just tryin' to keep it in line
You say you wanna move on and
You say I'm falling behind

Can you read my mind?
Can you read my mind?

I never really gave up on
Breakin' out of this two-star town
I got the green light
I got a little fight
I'm gonna turn this thing around

Can you read my mind?
Can you read my mind?

The good old days, the honest man;
The restless heart, the Promised Land
A subtle kiss that no one sees;
A broken wrist and a big trapeze

Oh well I don't mind, if you don't mind
'Cause I don't shine if you don't shine
Before you go, can you read my mind?

It’s funny how you just break down
Waitin' on some sign
I pull up to the front of your driveway
With magic soakin' my spine

Can you read my mind?
Can you read my mind?

The teenage queen, the loaded gun;
The drop dead dream, the Chosen One
A southern drawl, a world unseen;
A city wall and a trampoline

Oh well I don't mind, if you don't mind
'Cause I don't shine if you don't shine
Before you jump
Tell me what you find when you read my mind

Slippin’ in my faith until I fall
You never returned that call
Woman, open the door, don't let it sting
I wanna breathe that fire again

She said I don't mind, if you don't mind
'Cause I don't shine if you don't shine

Put your back on me
Put your back on me
Put your back on me

The stars are blazing like rebel diamonds cut out of the sun
When you read my mind

Lyrics for The Chariot - They Faced Each Other

You can't stop the race. People moving in place.
Running a crooked path from place to place to place.
Paved in gold. The chords from which we hang, weaken everyday.
They beg for strength, but they are blessed by our blade.
Questions on our minds. Buildings on the rise.
Diamonds instead of our eyes and corporate fights.
O' busy busy bees walking to and from, what if we close our eyes? What if we cant wake up?
I hope you all rest in peace. I hope you find what your looking for.
But if that is all you got, well, there's got to be more.
They lay carpet that's made of red and we walk paths made of gold but we are blind just past the noise in this tree covered earth.
Yes, that is right.
Can we disappear from all we got?
We are scattered on God's grace but we are a drip, we are a flash, we are a mist, we are a speck, But we got time

A Thousand Tiny Pieces
(Sean Hayes)

Just play this one out until it explodes into a thousand tiny pieces
What's your story, universe, you are melody in numbers
You are shapes, you are rhythms, there are signs that we can learn
To place over the heavens, to predict how long we'll burn
How long will I last, can I turn up the heat?
What star am I circling, what's circling me?
Now my ebb and my flow, my lack of control,
Turning on, turning off
Saying yes, but playing no.

Things keep changing
Things keep changing
Things keep changing

Just play this one out until it explodes into a thousand tiny pieces,
What's your story, universe, you are melody in numbers
You are shapes, you are rhythms, there are signs that we can learn,
To place over the heavens, to predict how long we'll burn
How long will I last, can I turn up the heat?
What star am I circling, what's circling me?
Now my ebb and my flow, my lack of control,
Turning on, turning off

Eddie Vedder - Hard Sun

this song inspires me in a few ways - to get out and live life, for one.
Its a cover song from some canadian dude many years ago and a song from the movie Into the Wild - a true story..

i think the song is about a man who associates abusing the environment to abusing his wife... that he puts them in the same catagory.... or something - anyway....

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UDorNilxPUY

When I walk beside her
I am the better man
when i look to leave her
I always stagger back again

Once I built an ivory tower
so I could worship from above
when I climb down to be set free
she took me in again

CHORUS
There’s a big
a big hard sun
beating on the big people
in the big hard world

When she comes to greet me
she is mercy at my feet
I see her inner charm
she just throws it back at me

Once I dug an early grave
to find a better land
she just smiled and laughed at me
and took her rules back again

CHORUS

Once I stood to lose her
and I saw what i had done
bowed down and threw away the hours
of her garden and her sun

So I tried to want her
I turned to see her weep
40 days and 40 nights
and its still coming down on me

CHORUS

I Love damien rice. I saw his concert in Amsterdam last year, but to be honest, It was pretty bad.. I like his sad accoustic songs.. But during the concert, there was a whole band with lots of distortion guitars and everything, including his voice was beeing distorted and flanged... Damn man... But the CD's are awsome.

This one just put me into deep meditation.
Thanks Immortal Technique, you're peruvian too brotha.

"You Never Know"
(feat. Jean Grae)

[Verse 1]
She was on her way to becoming a college graduate
Wouldn't even stop to talk to the average kid
The type of latina I'd sit and contemplate marriage with
Fuck the horse and carriage shit, her love was never for hire
Disciplined, intellectual beauty's what I desire
Flyer than Salma Hayek or Jennifer Lopez
Everyone told me, kickin' it to her was hopeless
At first I just thought, she didn't mess with broke kids
The thug niggaz always talking about, how they smoke kids
But the rich-sniff-coke kids got no play
"I'm not even interested" is what her body language would say
Everyone around the way, gave up trying to get in it
It didn't matter how good your game was, she wasn't with it
On the block, bitches was jealous, but wouldn't admit it
Talk shit, and deny to everyone that they did it
'Cause they regretted the long list of niggaz that they let hit it
And no one ever gave them shit except McDonald's and did-dick
Smoking weed with thoughts of envy, whenever they lit it
She smoked intelligently and they bit it, always trying to copy
But when they tried to use her vocab, they sounded sloppy
She had a style, all her own, respectful and pure
I was sick in the head for her, and there wasn't a cure

[Hook - Jean Grae]
Don't you know that, time waits for no man
Not fate, it's all planned
I'm blessed just to know you
I've loved and I've lost just to hold you all night
Can't find, a reason why
God came, to you and I
If I had the chance again, I'd never let you go
Hold tight to your love, 'cause you never know

[Verse 2]
Her eyes are brown and beautiful, yet empty and sad
I used to talk to her occasionally, and she was glad
That I wasn't just another nigga trying to get in it
So every now and then we'd stop and talk for a minute
I didn't have a gimmick so the minutes turned to hours
On her birthday, I gave her a poem with flowers
Then I took her out to dinner after her cousin's baby shower
We talked about, power to the people and such
We spent more time together but it was never enough
I never tried to sneak a touch, or even cop a feel
I was too interested, in keeping it real
Perfectly honest and complete, she would always call me "carino",
And never Technique, bought me a new book to read every 2 or 3 weeks
Forever changing the expression of my thoughts when I speak
It was because of her, I even deaded all of my freaks
She convinced me, to stop hangin' out on the streets
To stop robbin' and stealin', from people like you
Instead I took her out to the Apollo and the Bronx Zoo
We sailed in Barrio and the Metropolitan too
Got to the point when I was either with her or my crew
So I decided one day, to tell her my feelings was true
I couldn't live without her so I told her, facing my fears
But honey's only response, was a face full of tears
She could only sob hysterically, holding me tight
I tried to speak, but she wouldn't stop until I left sight
I felt like a moth who got himself too close to the light
Except I didn't burn, I turned cold after that night

[Hook]

[Verse 3]
I went on with my life, college and my career
Ended up locked up like an animal for a year
Where the C.O.'s talk to you like they were the overseer
Then I got sent to the hole, when my exit was near
At night in my cell, I'd close my eyes and I'd see her
Hold her close in my dreams, but when I woke she disappeared
Just an empty cell until the state gave me parole in the summer
came back, in tact and on track
But the fact of the matter, is I still felt cold
Even after my mother, hugged me, cryin' at home
My real niggaz would catch me thinkin', out of my zone
Fuckin' lots of different women, but I still felt alone
Relatively well-known around the New York underground
But I kept thinking of her and how we used to be down
The sound of her voice, and the beautiful smell of her hair
Though gone physically, somehow it was still there
I had to do something, because the shit was too much to bear
So I went and visited the building where she used to live
The world looks a lot different after you do a bid
The way your life done changed
While primitive minds (are) still stuck in the same game
Like her cousin who was on the corner slangin' cocaine
Stepped in the lobby and tapped the button next to her last name
Her mom buzzed me up and hugged me up, like a mother oughta
But her facial expression changed, when I asked about her daughter

[Hook]

[Verse 4]
She told me that there was a note for me, that was left behind
She had left it there waiting, for such a long time
I was inclined to ask about it but she brought it up first
I saw a tear swelling up in her eye, and then she cursed
She told me where the letter was and I started thinking the worst
Reversed my position, stepped over and opened the door
And sure enough there was an envelope with my name on the floor
"Nobody loves you more than me carino" is what the letter said

"By the time you get to read this, I'll probably be dead
But when you left in '97 a part of me went to Heaven
I thank God at least I got to know what love really was
But it hurt me, to see what true love really does
'Cause even though we never made love, you were all that there was
It was because I loved you so much that I had to make you leave
You made me doubt the way I thought, you made me want to believe
And then I slipped up, and I let you get close to me
It was hard to not be openly when people spoke to me
This was not the way I thought my life was supposed to be
Baby don't you see, I had a blood transfusion that left me with HIV
Hoped the end exists for me since late in 1993
I died a virgin, I wish I could've given myself to you
I cried in the hospital because there was no one else but you
Promise that you'll meet me in paradise inevitably
No matter what, I'll keep your love forever with me"

What happened for the rest of the day is still a blur
But I remember wishing that I was dead, instead of her
She was buried on August 3rd
The story ends without a sequel
And now you know why Technique, don't fucking fall in love with people
Hold the person that you love closely if they're next to you
The one you love, not the person that'll simply have sex with you
Appreciate them to the fullest extent, and then beyond
'Cause you never really know what you got, until it's gone

LOVE THE ONE WHO CAN TEACH YOU SOMETHING, THE ONE THAT CAN FIX YOU, THE ONE THAT YOU ADMIRE, THE ONE THAT WILL SEE THE IMPERFECTIONS THROUGH YOU AND ACCEPT THEM.

CRACKER "LOW"

Sometimes I wanna take you down.
Sometime I wanna get you low.
I brush your hair back from your eyes.
I take you down let the river flow.

Sometimes I go and walk the street
Behind the green sheet of glass.
A million miles below their feet
A million miles, a million miles

CHORUS:
I'll be with you girl
Like being low
hey hey hey like being stoned
I'll be with you girl
Like being low
hey hey hey like being stoned.

A million poppies gonna make me sleep.
But just one rose it knows your name
The fruit is rusting on the vine
The fruit is calling from the trees

Hey don't you wanna go down
Like some junkie cosmonaut
A million miles below their feet
A million miles a million miles

CHORUS

Blue blue is the sun.
Brown brown is the sky.
Green green are her eyes.
A million miles a million miles

Hey don't you wanna go down
Like some disgraced cosmonaut
A million miles below their feet
A million miles a million miles

Chad, Time to say goodbye is such a brilliant song.
So emotional and epic and incredible.
If God has a voice, I am pretty sure it sounds like Andrea Bocelli.

And you are right "Hysteria" is also fantastic, although lately I have been more into "Time is running out". That song rocks.

Quite a few songs here I haven't heard before. Most of them are incredible.
