Lyrics That Inspire

By Storm Wolfsong on Fri, 06-24-11, 01:07

I'm curious to know what songs/lyrics others find to be inspiring. For me there are many and I will probably post others at another time but the one that sticks out the most is from the movie Broken Bridges sung by Lindsey Haun and it's called Broken

"Broken"

Wake up to a Sunny Day
Not a cloud up in the sky
And then it starts to rain
My defenses hit the ground
And they shatter all around
So open and exposed
But I found strength in the struggle
Face to face with my troubles

When you're broken
In a Million little pieces
And your tryin'
But you can't hold on any more
Every tear falls down for a reason
Don't you stop believin' in your self
When you're broken

Little girl don't be so blue
I know what you're going through
Don't let it beat you up
Hittin' walls and gettin' scars
Only makes you who you are
Only makes you who you are
No matter how much your heart is aching
There is beauty in the breaking
Yeah

When you're broken
In a Million little pieces
And your tryin'
But you can't hold on any more
Every tear falls down for a reason
Don't you stop believin' in your self
When you're broken

Better days are gonna find you once again
Every piece will find it's place
When you're broken
When you're broken

When you're broken
In a Million little pieces
And your tryin'
But you can't hold on any more
Every tear falls down for a reason
Don't you stop believin' in your self
When you're broken
Oh When you're broken
When you're broken
When you're broken

So Many to list but here is one from Neil Young "You and Me"
Open up your eyes
See how life time flies
Open up and let the light back in.

To me the song as a whole is what makes it inspiring to me, and even that depends on what mood I'm in. To that effect some of my favorite songs are:

So Much Beauty in Dirt (Modest Mouse)
The Ocean Breathes Salty (Modest Mouse)
The Show Goes On (Lupe Fiasco)
Life in Technicolor ii (Coldplay)
Strawberry Swing (Coldplay)
Firework (Katy Perry)
Such Great Heights (Postal Service)
We will Become Silhouettes (Postal Service)
Life is a Highway (Rascal Flats)
My Name is Jonas (Weezer)

These things I have spoken unto you, that in me you might have peace. In the world you shall have tribulation: but rejoice! for I have overcome the world - Jesus to the Apostles, John 16:33

Hi Storm..great topic! I seriously listen to music. Right now I'm hooked on the Alter Bridge...All Hope is Gone.. it's one of my favorite tunes at the moment. It encompasses my emotions at this time in my life.
I posted the video /w the lyrics. I hope you enjoy it too,Tee

A tireless stream of indifference flows
Through veins till the river runs dry
I no longer care I have all but disposed
Of dreams that I once held inside

Desire is gone after all of these years
The fight has been lost I concede
The apathy born a long time ago
Has grown to what I can't defeat

I've been here too long
I'm tired and longing for more

How long must I run
To find what I'm looking for?

All hope is gone

The sadness I carry so deep in my heart
For what could have been and might be
Is never forgotten it's never too far
I'm wasted so worn and so weak

I've been here too long
I'm tired and longing for more

How long must I run
To find what I'm looking for?

All hope is gone

I've been here too long
I'm tired and longing for more

How long must I run
To find what I'm looking for?

I've been here too long
I'm tired and longing for more

All hope is gone
All hope is gone
All hope is gone

Face down in the dirt, she said,
"This doesn't hurt", she said,
"I finally had enough."

Just one more..this is my 2nd favorite ~Broken Wings - Alter Bridge

Thanks for listening, Tee

Fight the fight alone
When the world is full of victims
Dims a fading light
In our souls

Leave the peace alone
Now we all are slowly changing
Dims a fading light
In our souls

In my opinion seeing is to know
The things we hold
Are always first to go
And who's to say
We won't end up alone

On broken wings I'm falling
And it won't be long
The skin on me is burning
By the fires of the sun
On skinned knees
I'm bleeding
And it won't be long
I've got to find that meaning
I'll search for so long

Cry ourselves to sleep
We will sleep alone forever
Will you lay me down
In the same place with all I love

Mend the broken homes
Care for them they are our brothers
Save the fading light in our souls

In my opinion seeing is to know
What you give
Will always carry you
And who's to say
We won't survive it too

Set a-free all
Relying on their will
To make me all that I am
And all that I'll be

Set a-free all
Will fall between the cracks
With memories of all that I am
And I'll that I'll be

Face down in the dirt, she said,
"This doesn't hurt", she said,
"I finally had enough."

I found these lyrics have got me through some hard times. The song is "Slipping Away" and it's by Moby:

All that we needed was right
The threshold is breaking tonight

Open to everything happy and sad
Seeing the good when it's all going bad
Seeing the sun when I can't really see
Hoping the sun will at least look at me

Focus on everything better today
All that I needed I never could say
Hold on to people, they're slipping away
Hold on to this while it's slipping away

All that we needed tonight
Are people who love us and like
I know how it feels to need
Oh when we leave here, you'll see

Open to everything happy and sad
Seeing the good when it's all going bad
Seeing the sun when I can't really see
Hoping the sun will at least look at me

Focus on everything better today
All that I needed I never could say
Hold on to people, they're slipping away
Hold on to this while it's slipping away

So long
So long

Open to everything happy and sad
Seeing the good when it's all going bad
Seeing the sun when I can't really see
Hoping the sun will at least look at me

Focus on everything better today
All that I needed I never could say
Hold on to people that slipping away

Those are just poems. those are just words. It's how you choose to feel about them. those words could be your saving grace one day and forgotten the next. It dosen't really matter, they are just poems and words and feelings!!!!!!!!
