downset - Holding Hands

Gentle you were in your first presence
Hazel to brown eyes embraced innocence
We dressed each other in colors of intrigue
First words to each other sang comfort's melody

Childlike was your first gracious allurement
Her offering hands touched mine in content
Laughter filled the air illuminated portraits
Silence was the moment that gave dawn to this kiss

Elation shined off our vivid souls, in waves of euphoria
Emotions were thrown, sunshine's fire in embodied eyes, so
Full of truth and when we held, we held tight!

Lifeless! I say you left me, I say you left me lifeless
Lifeless! I say you left me, I say you left me lifeless
Lifeless! I say you left me, I say you left me lifeless
Lifeless! I say you left me, I say you left me lifeless

I felt her image sorrowed face nod to the ground
Grey clouds suffering was her sound
She screamed deep, but desire claimed her collapse
Gone to nothing then her frigid mask

Her own remorse, her lifeless companion, tongue stained
In duplicity's song, gentle hands stifle, I perishing suffering
This isn't her! This could never be her

Diminishing, forsaken all, I
Offering entirety, left empty to cry
She cried with me! Danced with me and kissed me
She was filthy in lies, gentle, always

Lifeless! I say you left me, I say you left me lifeless
Lifeless! I say you left me, I say you left me lifeless
Lifeless! I say you left me, I say you left me lifeless
Lifeless! I say you left me, I say you left me lifeless

Watch me rise

I say you left me, I say you left me, I say you left me lifeless
I say you left me, I say you left me, I say you left me lifeless
Lifeless! Lifeless! Lifeless! Lifeless! I say you left me


Back in the days I had a nu-metal period. Fact is I still enjoy some of these bands, downset being one of them. These lyrics are hauntingly beautiful too.

The song "I don't believe in friends forever", although it has a biblical reference in there, was inspired by a "so called" friend of mine who I had known for over 10 years who for some inexplicable reason suddenly decided to stab me in the back in a pretty major way about 5 years ago....so it's actually based on a true story.

A lot of my all time favourite lyrics were written by Fish.....both while he was in Marillion and through his solo material. Check out the "Clutching at Straws" album for some prime examples.

Sorry to hear that Steve.

Seems like I've got the wrong idea about the lyrics of that song. Seems like it got more meaning then i thought!
 
It don't take alot to keep me movin'
It's gonna take alot to make me stop
I'm racin' to a five-alarmer
Should slow down but I just can't stop

Move over if you see me comin'
I've got the vitus touch
I feel the heat inside me
It's not enough but it's a little too much

There's somethin' out there I can hear it callin'
I wanna hold it but I'm movin' too fast

Where's the fire
Everybody's always askin' me
Where is it baby?
Doesn't anybody know
Where's the fire
It's burnin' up inside of me
Where is it baby?
Open up the door and let me go

I got a method to this madness
I learned it on the street
There's someone right behind me
He's grabbin at your feet

I got no time for talkin'
I've got no time to kill
Some say I'm goin' nowhere
But it's better than standin' still

There's somethin' out there I can feel it baby
It's gettin' closer but I'm movin' away

Where's the fire
Everybody's always askin' me
Where is it baby?
Doesn't anybody know
Where's the fire
It's burnin' up inside of me
Where is it baby?
Open up the door and watch me go

Don't take alot to keep me movin'
It's gonna take a lot to make me stop
I feel the heat inside me
Should slow down but I just can't stop

There's somethin' out there I can hear it callin'
I wanna hold it but I'm movin' too fast
Yeah

Where's the fire
Everybody's always askin' me
Where is it baby?
Doesn't anybody know
Where's the fire
It's burnin' up inside of me
Where is it baby
Doesn't anybody know?

Where's the fire
Everybody's always askin' me
Where is it baby?
Doesn't anybody know
Where's the fire
It's burnin' up inside of me
Where is it baby
Open up the door and let me go...


Tim Feehan - Where's The Fire
 
Agalloch's Ashes Against The Grain have two songs with some of my all-time favorites; Limbs and Falling Snow:

The texture of the soul is a liquid that casts a vermilion flood
From a wound carved as an oath; it fills the river bank, a sanguine fog
These arms were meant to be lost! Hacked, severed and forgotten
The texture of time is a whisper that echoes across the flood
Its hymn resonates from tree to tree; through every sullen bough it sings
These boughs were said to be lost! Torn, unearthed and broken
Earth to flesh, flesh to wood, cast these limbs into the water
Flesh to wood, wood to stone, cast this stone into the water
Click to expand...

The water pours its embracing arms around the stone
Decay drips from the unquiet void where the ice forms, where life ends
The stone is by the crimson flood, swallowed
The red tide beyond the ebon wound, contorted
My sacrifice bids farewell in this river of memory; a wave to end all time
Red birds escape from my wounds and return as falling snow
To sweep the landscape; a wind haunted, wings without bodies
The snow, the bitter snowfall
You wish to die in her pale arms, crystalline, to become an ode to silence
In the soul of a mountain of birds, fallen
The cascading pallor of ghostless feather
The snow has fallen and raised this white mountain on which you will die
And fade away in silence

Also, Miss T - just saw that you posted Draw Me... love the lyrics in that song, I think it's a brilliant ballad!
 
Kingface reminded me of this song that I love.



(Verse1)
Iron birds of foreplay
Adrift above the skies
Cloudy revelations
Unseen by naked eyes

Flying tools of torture
Will penetrate the sphere
Erupt the rock of ages
Bringing final fear

(Chorus)
Instruments of destruction
Tools of power-plays
It's a violent seduction
Existence drips away

(Verse2)
What's it really matter
When nothing really counts
Grave eternal darkness
When you're
Drained of every ounce

And when the nightmare's over
The final from the storm
To dust off all creation
To ashes we transform

(Chorus)
Instruments of destruction
Tools of power-plays
It's a violent seduction
Existence drips away

(Chorus)
Instruments of destruction
Tools of power-plays
It's a violent seduction
Existence drips away

(Chorus)
Instruments of destruction
Tools of power-plays
It's a violent seduction
Existence drips away

(Chorus)
Instruments of destruction
Tools of power-plays
It's a violent seduction
Existence drips away

Hell...

Hell...

Hell...

Hell.......

I remember the times we had
Take a look at the past
I can see you clearly now, very well
But I don't know when you lost yourself
There was no way to find you
You were deep, so deep
Inside your world

Don't know where to go
Uh and I miss you so
I lost you and I'll never be the same
Now you're gone
And I learned to be strong
And there's

No need to cry and there's
No need to die
'cause all we need is love, there is
No need to cry and there's
No need to die
'cause the world keeps turning on

So much I've said
but I guess I was right after all
You have never, never really been alone
And on your way
There's been trouble and pain
And everything that comes along with it
We had seen it all before

No need to cry and there's
No need to die
'cause all we need is love, there is
No need to cry and there's
No need to die
'cause the world keeps turning on

What have you done with all your life
What have you done with all of your love
Who cares about it when you're gone
I don't know and you'll never see

What's the sense of it
What's the sense of all
What's the sense of our life
There's one hundred million ways
To go and
We will never know
What's our truth or reality

What have you done with all your love
And what have you done with all of your life
There's nothing left to stay right now and
I don't know and you'll never know

No need to cry and there's
No need to die
'cause all we can give is
Hope, truth (faith) and love
There's
No need to cry and there's
No need to die
Oh, the world keeps turning on

There is a light on the dark
A light in the dark for everyone
For everyone

no need to cry-gamma ray

this song really rang true for me because in the 00's i lost my dad, my uncle and my nan
 
"Light Of The World" by ReinXeed. Couldn't find the lyrics to it, but this is one of my fave lines from it:

They can hold us down forever,
but never take away our dreams
In this night we all unite
Together we can make, we can make out dreams come true!

Very positive powerful stuff here. One of the best ballads in the power metal genre.

I love this song, such a positive message I think.



I've seen the writing on the wall, believe me
I know they wanted us to fall away
They criticized our every move, deceivers
They never wanted us to break their chains

They sit in judgment and they think they know it all
They act like Gods but they are human after all
I don't care what they say
They just want to shoot us down in flames

Rising anew, in from the cold
Ready to strike, never grow old
No-one can ever hold us down
Rising again, back on the streets
We have the power to believe
No-one on earth can stop us now

The words they write are not the truth, I've seen them
Refuse to open up their eyes and ears
For you my friends we carry on, believers
The Quest will always be what makes us strong

They sit in judgment and they think they know it all
They act like Gods but they are human after all
I don't care what they say
They just want to shoot us down in flames

Rising anew, in from the cold
Ready to strike, never grow old
No-one can ever hold us down
Rising again, back on the streets
We have the power to believe
No-one on earth can stop us now

Rising anew, in from the cold
Ready to strike, never grow old
No-one can ever hold us down
Rising again, back on the streets
We have the power to believe
No-one on earth can stop us now

Love the song, goosebump factor is constant.
 
I know I'm a Guns N' Roses fanboy but I can't get enough of how good their lyrics are! I was looking over this song's lyrics and forgot how much I liked them. It's pretty wordy but man, I've always liked it. This song is called Locomotive.

Gonna find a way to cure this loneliness
Yeah, I'll find a way to cure the pain
If I said that you're my friend and our love would never end
How long before I had your trust again?

I opened up the doors when it was cold outside
Hoping that you'd find your own way in
But how can I protect you or try not to neglect you
When you won't take the love I have to give?

I bought me an illusion and I put it on the wall
I let it fill my head with dreams and I had to have them all
But oh, the taste is never so sweet as what you'd believe it is
It's these prejudiced illusions that pump the blood to the heart of the biz

You know, I never thought that it could take so long
You know, I never knew how to be strong
Yeah, I let you shape me, but I feel as though you raped me
'cause you climbed inside my world and in my songs

So now I've closed the door to keep the cold outside
Seems somehow I've found the will to live
But how can I forget you or try not to reject you
When we both know it takes time to forgive?

Sweetness is a virtue and you lost your virtue long ago
You know I'd like to hurt you, but my conscience always tells me no
You could sell your body on the street to anyone whom you might meet
Who'd love to try and get inside and bust your innocence open wide

'cause my baby's got a locomotive, my baby's gone off the track
My baby's got a locomotive, gotta peel the bitch off my back
I know it looks like I'm insane
Take a closer look; I'm not to blame, no

Gonna have some fun with my frustration
Gonna watch the big screen in my head
I'd rather take a detour, 'cause this road ain't getting clearer
Your train of thought has cut me off again

Better tame that boy, 'cause he's a wild one
Better tame that boy 'fore he's a man
Sweetheart, don't make laugh; you's gettin' too big for your pants
And I's think maybe you should cut out while you can

You can use your illusion, let it take you where it may
We live and learn and then sometimes it's best to walk away
Me, I'm just here hanging on, it's my only place to stay, at least for now, anyway,
I've worked too hard for my illusions just to throw them all away

I'm taking time for quiet consolation
In passing by this love that's passed away
I know it's never easy, so why should you believe me
When I've always got so many things to say?

Calling off the dogs, a simple choice is made
'cause playful hearts can sometimes be enraged
You know, I tried to wake you - I mean, how long could it take you
To open up your eyes and turn the page?

Kindness is a treasure and it's one towards me you've seldom shown,
So I'll say it for good measure to all the ones like you I've known
You know, I'd like to shave your head and all my friends could paint it red
'cause love to me's a two way street and all I really want is peace

But my baby's got a locomotive, my baby's gone off the track
My baby's got a locomotive, gotta peel the bitch off my back
I know it looks like I'm insane
Take a closer look; I'm not to blame, no

Affection is a blessing - can you find it in your torrid heart?
I tried to keep this thing together, but the tremor tore my pad apart
Yeah, I know it's hard to face when all we've worked for has gone to waste
But you're such a stupid woman and I'm such a stupid man
But love, like time's got its own plans

'cause my baby's got a locomotive, my baby's gone off the track
My baby's got a locomotive, gotta peel the bitch off my back
I know it looks like I'm insane
Take a closer look; I'm not to blame, no

Love's so strange
If love is blind, I guess I'll find myself a cane
