This is the first song:
I just set these lyrics here, since they are a great help for me, maybe it will be for others also. Mostly they are a little dark, but they are still helpful for me.

Evanescence: "Hello"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QjEPCczY11E

Playground school bell rings again
Rain clouds come to play again
Has no one told you she's not breathing?
Hello I am your mind giving you someone to talk to
Hello

If I smile and don't believe
Soon I know I'll wake from this dream
Don't try to fix me, I'm not broken
Hello I'm the lie living for you so you can hide
Don't cry

Suddenly I know I'm not sleeping
Hello I'm still here
All that's left of yesterday

Evanescence: "My Immortal"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cu7QvOQKcKk

I'm so tired of being here
Suppressed by all my childish fears
And if you have to leave
I wish that you would just leave
'Cause your presence still lingers here
And it won't leave me alone

These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase

[Chorus:]
When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have
All of me

You used to captivate me
By your resonating light
Now I'm bound by the life you left behind
Your face it haunts
My once pleasant dreams
Your voice it chased away
All the sanity in me

These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase

[Chorus]

I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone
But though you're still with me
I've been alone all along

[Chorus]

Herman Van Veen: Wie
original song in Dutch
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rU3i8QwmljI

(Lyrics Translated in English)

Who

Who took the sun, out of your face
Who put out, the light in you
Who made your red cheeks pale
Who chased the dreams out of your head
Who broke your little heart
And coloured your eyes black
Who didn�t do what he had promised you?

Who smothered the laughter in your throat
And clenched your fists
Who killed the open-minded child
That always rose when it fell
Who bended your straight back
Who destroyed your toys
Who broke your wings in the pleasure of your flight?

Who passed you and left you behind
Who betrayed your believes
Who heard the cock crow three times
And still kept himself deaf
Who is it who forgot
That you had the future
Who gave you, just like me, too little love?

Who gave you, just like me, too little love

 

[john22]

here's a less dark one

Evanescence: Everybody's Fool

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w7apWr6hz4U

Perfect by nature
Icons of self-indulgence
Just what we all need
More lies about a world that
Never was and never will be
Have you no shame, don't you see me
You know you've got everybody fooled

Look, here she comes now
Bow down and stare in wonder
Oh, how we love you
No flaws when you're pretending
But now I know she
Never was and never will be
You don't know how you've betrayed me
And somehow you've got everybody fooled

Without the mask where will you hide
Can't find yourself lost in your lie

I know the truth now
I know who you are
And I don't love you anymore

It never was and never will be
You don't know how you've betrayed me
And somehow you've got everybody fooled

It never was and never will be
You're not real and you can't save me
Somehow now you're everybody's fool

 

[Stefan012]

Cool.
I esp liked the Herman van Veen one.
I stole your idea btw

Stefan

 

[john22]

Some other lyrics (both translated from Dutch)

Ik kan het niet alleen Marco Borsato
Translation: I cant do it alone
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gTXVxiZGteU (Dutch song)

Everybody walks with a curve around me
Afraid to hurt my soul
Afraid for my anger
Shown on my face
With words as weapons
So sharp as my tongue
I smash the happiness out my hands
Alone in the darkness
Doors and windows are closed

Cold is my world
It snows in my hart
Theres ice in the white of my eyes
Away is the water
The love streams through me
Strong are the bricks and high is the wall
Sealed are the doors and the windows
I want to break through them, but I cant get to them from the inside

I cant do it alone, no
I cant do it alone
I have the hand of the night on my throat
The loneliness gets to become to much
I cant do it alone
Alone alone

Oh, I yell for your love
But I stay silence as a grave
I crave for you
Still I turn you down
Mine leave me alone is a dont leave me longer alone

Dont listen to my words
Dont listen to what I say
And keep trying
Even when I send you away
Dont look at my mask
But, please look through me

Because I cant do it alone, no
I cant do it alone
I have the hand of the night on my throat
The loneliness is getting to much
I cant do it alone
Alone
----------------------------------------------------------------

Lentesneeuw (Marco Borsato)
Translation: Spring-snow*
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HzNdHgMJj1A (Dutch song)

The sun of spring is shining
She spreads her wings
The birds come closer
But you dont hear a single sound

Imprisoned in silence
Will this ever go away?
You dont see your new life
You only feel the pain

The trees releases there blossoms
The smell is getting shattered
It doesnt get to you
Spring-snow
You only see spring-snow

Youre focussing your glance above
Youre asking yourself why?
Youre already seen to long no light
Even when the sun is shining

The trees releases there blossoms
The smell is getting shattered
It doesnt get to you
Spring-snow
You only see spring-snow

*I know that the word spring-snow isnt a real word, but its the best translation I could give to the Dutch word the singer used.

 

[Stefan012]

I really liked your 'I can't do it alone' lyrics..

Stefan

 

[john22]

Here is an other lyric, I think its rather dark, because its about the question which cant be answered, even when its that question I want to be answered more then anything else.

Roger Whittaker
Why

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pMJvywjL83w

Something is going wrong
With the singer and the song
And the music isnt gentle anymore
Theres a mist across the moon
And the suns too hot at noon
And the house is dark behind the broken door
Where the flowers used to grow
With their leaves are hanging low
And the constant shadow lies across the floor
Theres a strange and empty sky
Where the wild birds used to fly
And I never tasted bitter rain before

And will the grass be gone from underneath the sky
Will the golden flower wither soon and die
Will the fire burn out the land
And the sea fill-up with sand
Will the last word ever spoken be why?
Will the last word ever spoken be why?

Someones lost the plan
For the brotherhood of man
And no ones trying to find it anymore
And the winds become a sigh
For those who hate and those who die
And the waves are black and slow along the shore

And will the grass be gone from underneath the sky
Will the golden flower wither soon and die
Will the fire burn out the land
Will the sea fill-up with sand
Will the last word ever spoken be why?
Will the last word ever spoken be why, why, why?
Will the last word ever spoken be WHY?

 

[john22]

Still an other lyric. Its a song I really like, because it talks about the difficult journey ahead of us, which everyone of us needs to take.

Enya: Pilgrim

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=86QykTK9rFI

Pilgrim, how you journey
on the road you chose
to find out why the winds die
and where the stories go.
All days come from one day
that much you must know,
you cannot change what's over
but only where you go.

One way leads to diamonds,
one way leads to gold,
another leads you only
to everything you're told.
In your heart you wonder
which of these is true;
the road that leads to nowhere,
the road that leads to you.

Will you find the answer
in all you say and do?
Will you find the answer
In you?

Each heart is a pilgrim,
each one wants to know
the reason why the winds die
and where the stories go.
Pilgrim, in your journey
you may travel far,
for pilgrim it's a long way
to find out who you are...

Pilgrim, it's a long way
to find out who you are...

Pilgrim, it's a long way
to find out who you are...

 

[john22]

Still an other lyric, its a song about strength.
The moment we dare to speak up, we can crush the one(s) who betrayed us.

Labi Siffre
Something Inside So Strong

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PcKoYGNj0BU

The higher you build your barriers
The taller I become
The farther you take my rights away
The faster I will run
You can deny me
You can decide to turn your face away
No matter, cos there's....

Something inside so strong
I know that I can make it
Tho' you're doing me wrong, so wrong
You thought that my pride was gone
Oh no, something inside so strong
Oh oh oh oh oh something inside so strong

The more you refuse to hear my voice
The louder I will sing
You hide behind walls of Jericho
Your lies will come tumbling
Deny my place in time
You squander wealth that's mine
My light will shine so brightly
It will blind you
Cos there's......

Something inside so strong
I know that I can make it
Tho' you're doing me wrong, so wrong
You thought that my pride was gone
Oh no, something inside so strong
Oh oh oh oh oh something inside so strong

Brothers and sisters
When they insist we're just not good enough
When we know better
Just look 'em in the eyes and say
I'm gonna do it anyway
I'm gonna do it anyway
I'm gonna do it anyway
I'm gonna do it anyway

Something inside so strong
And I know that I can make it
Tho' you're doing me wrong, so wrong
You thought that my pride was gone
Oh no, something inside so strong
Oh oh oh oh oh something inside so strong

Brothers and sisters
When they insist we're just not enough
When we know better
Just look 'em in the eyes and say
I'm gonna do it anyway
I'm gonna do it anyway
I'm gonna do it anyway
I'm gonna do it anyway

Because there's something inside so strong
And I know that I can make it
Tho' you're doing me, so wrong
Oh no, something inside so strong
Oh oh oh oh oh something inside so strong

 

[roadrunner]

John,

Thanks for putting up these lyrics. You are so right; finding the strength to speak up is such an important step.

Much love,
Larry

 

[john22]

hey all, I jsut put a new lyric on, I think it's about a question which we often asking ourselves.

Solitary Ground by Epica

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PQIbzXY1sRk

Living at different places
Evading into various spaces
My compass has broken
I'm losing the way
An ongoing madness has led me astray

My past breathes down my neck
And it seems now that all I can do is
Go back to beginnings when all lay ahead
A fading illusion now plagues me instead

In me there's still a place that fulfils me
A sanctity here that I call home, I run to
When winter descends
If I try, can I find solid ground

I follow elusive paths
Oh, it seems they've been written in stone
And the door to a new life is closing so fast
Burning the bridges will not bring me back

In me there's still a place that fulfils me
A sanctity here that I call home, I run to
When winter descends
If I try, can I find solid ground

(Instrumental music)

In me there's still a place that fulfils me
A sanctity here that I call home, I run to
When winter descends
If I try, can I find solid ground

I know that in me there's still a place that fulfils me
A sanctity here that I call home, I run to
When winter descends
If I try, can I find solid ground
Or am I just wasting time?

I've just lend a cd of "Within Temptation" and I really think it has some good lyrics on.

1.Stand My Ground

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4sCkAvh50Vs

I can see
when you stay low nothing happends
does it feel right ?

Late at night
things i thought i put behind me
haunt my mind

I just know theres no escape
now once it sets its eyes on you
but i wont run, have to stare it in the eye

Stand my ground, i wont give in
no more denying, i got to face it
wont close my eyes and hide the truth inside
if i dont make it, someone else will stand my ground

Its all around
getting stronger, coming closer
into my world

I can feel
that its time for me to face it
can i take it?

Though this might just be the ending
of the life i held so dear
but i wont run, theres no turningback from here

Stand my ground, i wont give in
no more denying, i got to face it
wont close my eyes and hide the truth inside
if i dont make it, someone else will stand my ground

All i know for sure is im trying
i will always stand my ground

Stand my ground, i wont give in
no more denying, i got to face it
wont close my eyes and hide the truth inside
if i dont make it, someone else will stand my ground

Stand my ground, i wont give in
no more denying, i got to face it
wont close my eyes and hide the truth inside
if i dont make it, someone else will stand my ground

And an other one, from the same cd "The Silent Force" from "Within Temptation". I hope you like them, I do.

Angels
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JPOtSknsdXs

Sparkling angel
I believe
You are my saviour
In my time of need

Blinded by faith
I couldn't hear
All the whispers
Their warning so clear

I see the angels
I'll lead them to your door
There is no escape now
No mercy no more

No remorse cause I still remember
The smile when you tore me apart

Refrain:
You took my heart
Deceived me right from the start
You showed me dreams
I wished they'd turn into real
You broke the promise
And made me realise
It was all just a lie

Sparkling angel
Couldn't see
Your dark intentions
Your feelings for me

Fallen angel
Tell me why
What is the reason?
The thorn in your eye

I see the angels
I'll lead them to your door
There is no escape now
No mercy no more

No remorse cause I still remember
The smile when you tore me apart

Refrain

Could have been forever
Now we have reached the end

This world may have failed you
It doesn't give the reason why
You could have chosen
A different path of life

The smile when you tore me apart
You took my heart
Deceived me right from the start
You showed me dreams
I wished they'd turn into real
You broke a promise
And made me realise
It was all just a lie

Could have been forever
Now we have reached the end

Well it looks like it's been a while since I posted a song-lyric, so here's a new one I like. It's also from "Within Temptation".

A Dangerous Mind
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MYtsSYq4Vi4

I'm searching for answers
'cause something is not right.
I follow the signs,
I'm close to the fire.

I fear that soon you'll reveal
Your dangerous mind.

It's in your eyes, what's on your mind.
I fear your smile and the promise inside.
It's in your eyes, what's on your mind.
I fear your presence, I'm frozen inside.

I'm searching for answers
Not questioned before.
The curse of awareness,
There's no peace of mind.
As your true colours show
A dangerous sign.

It's in your eyes, what's on your mind.
I see the truth that you've buried inside.
It's in your eyes, what's on your mind.
There is no mercy just anger I find.

I just have to know, while I still have time.
Do I have to run, or hide away from you?

It's in your eyes, what's on your mind.
I see the truth that you've buried inside.
It's in your eyes, what's on your mind.
There is no mercy just anger I find.

It's in your eyes, what's on your mind.
I see the truth that you've buried inside.
It's in your eyes, what's on your mind.
There is no mercy just anger I find.

(I hope you like them just as me)

Here's a new lyric

Overcome (by Within Temptation)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iSyKYd_ti5c

Where are the heroes
In my time of need
Is my crying abandoned?
Or have they gone
Oh no

They just tend to stand
Out of the rain
Thinking but not acting
That they're not to blame

Falling and crawling
A fight to stand up
Memory still haunts me
In the dead of night

Over and over
I felt so small
But one day I'll be stronger
And you better watch out

Chorus:
I will overcome
In violence there's silence
Oh no,
It can't be undone
I will overcome
Knowing that I'm not the only one
I will overcome
It's the only way to carry on

Where are the saviours
Afraid of the toll
Sorry do my nine inch nails
Slash your soul?

Such heroes
Throwing stones
Straight at the one
Who is standing alone?

Twisting and turning
It's always the same
The truth is never honest
When you're to blame

Pushing and pulling
Never give in
One day I wish
You see you're not so beautiful within

Chorus

Run and run
Run and run

Chorus

I will overcome

Hope you'll like it as much as me

 

[john22]

I've found some new song, it's a very nice one, starting quite dark but ending nicely. It's about the worth of fighting on, or that's what i got out of this song. Hope you'll enjoy it.

Bryan Adams - Sound the bugle Lyrics
Album: Spirit: Stallion Of The Cimarron
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P6Qc7eOiqtI

Sound the bugle now - play it just for me
As the seasons change - remember how I used to be
Now I can't go on - I can't even start
I've got nothing left - just an empty heart

I'm a soldier - wounded so I must give up the fight
There's nothing more for me - lead me away...
Or leave me lying here

Sound the bugle now - tell them I don't care
There's not a road I know - that leads to anywhere
Without a light I fear that I will - stumble in the dark
Lay right down - decide not to go on

Then from on high - somewhere in the distance
There's a voice that calls - remember who your are
If you lose yourself - your courage soon will follow

So be strong tonight - remember who you are
Ya you're a soldier now - fighting in a battle
To be free once more -
Ya that's worth fighting for

 

[john22]

I found a new lyric
I'm not fully sure how to read it. But I read it as like it's me talking to little me. Maybe you guys think something different, don't hesitate to let me know.

Brothers under the sun - Bryan Adams
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S-JRqMMIGiY

I had a dream - of the wide open prairie
I had a dream - of the pale morning sky
I had a dream - that we flew on golden wings
And we were the same - just the same - you and I
Follow your heart - little child of the west wind
Follow the voice - that's calling you home
Follow your dreams - but always, remember me
I am your brother - under the sun

We are like birds of a feather
We are two hearts joined together
We will be forever as one
My brother under the sun

Wherever you hear - the wind in the canyon
Wherever you see - the buffalo run
Wherever you go - I'll be there beside you
Cos you are my brother - my brother under the sun

 

[stefalc1]

duran duran sung a song called "ordinary world" very poignant great song especially chorus

 

[john22]

Here's another one.

Shelter of Storms - Mary Chapin Carpenter

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Snx5AhMP6Jc

You always had the gift of speed;
You'd disappear without a trace.
It all depended on the need,
And on the pain you could not face.
So you would leave the home you'd found,
Pack it up without delay.
Cut your losses, blow that town,
Tomorrow was another day.

All the years and all the miles,
They lost track of time.
I look back now only once in awhile;
My memory just wants to blur the lines.
'Cause you know me, I just can't change.
I greet the sun, and find it strange
To watch you run
For the shelter of storms
For the shelter of storms.

Now where are you out in the world
Searching for a little grace
Searching for a precious pearl
Wisdom from some future place.
You let me go without a wave
I noticed that and nothing more
I guess I'm going to my grave
Wondering what it all was for.

All the years and all the miles
It's so hard keeping track of time
Do you think of me every once in awhile
When the rain lets up and the sun can shine
Just a little peace and quiet for a change
I still greet the sun and find it strange
To watch you run
For the shelter of storms
For the shelter of storms.

Go back the years, subtract the miles,
And see what's left for you to find
All the battles, all the trials,
You can't be free till you leave behind
Your bitter heart, but you can't change;
You curse the sun, and pray for rain,
You always run
For the shelter of storms,
For the shelter of storms.

This song can be triggering so be cautious when you listen and/or read it.

Caged - Within Temptation

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

These are the darkest clouds
To have surrounded me
Now I find my self alone caught in a cage
There's no flower to be found in here
Not withering
Or pale to me
Everyone with a friendly face
Seems to hide some secret inside

He told me he loved me
While he laughed in my face
He just led me astray
He took my virtue
I feel so cold inside
Sorrow has frozen my mind

My heart is covered
With thoughts entangled
How could it ever have felt so real?
Is there a place more lonely than I feel within?
Could I have seen?
Could I have known?
I just took it as the truth
Everyone with a friendly face
Seems to hide some secret inside

He told me he loved me
While he laughed in my face
He just led me astray
He took my virtue
I feel so cold inside
Sorrow has frozen my mind

Always there to remind me
It keeps me from believing
That someone might be there
Who'll free me and never ever leave me.

 

[jorgea73]

This song was very special to me when I first heard it when I was 11 or so in 1984. This song spoke to me. In my mind I pictured Morrissey speaking to me and being my "protector." During many dark nights throughout my life, this song got me through. Listening to it still, it brings a lump to my throat.

Here's the original version:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UcFHPl0NbwM

Here's a heart-wrenching beautiful cover by Sinead O'Connor:

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

The Hand That Rocks The Cradle
Please don't cry
For the ghost and the storm outside
Will not invade this sacred shrine
Nor infiltrate your mind
My life down I shall lie
If the bogey-man should try
To play tricks on your sacred mind
To tease, torment, and tantalise
Wavering shadows loom
A piano plays in an empty room
There'll be blood on the cleaver tonight
And when darknesss lifts and the room is bright
I'll still be by your side
For you are all that matters
And I'll love you to till the day I die
There never need be longing in your eyes
As long as the hand that rocks the cradle is mine
Ceiling shadows shimmy by
And when the wardrobe towers like a beast of prey
There's sadness in your beautiful eyes
Oh, your untouched, unsoiled, wonderous eyes
My life down I shall lie
Should restless spirits try
To play tricks on your sacred mind
I once had a child, and it saved my life
And I never even asked his name
I just looked into his wondrous eyes
And said : "never never never again"
And all too soon I did return
Just like a moth to a flame
So rattle my bones all over the stones
I'm only a beggar-man whom nobody owns
Oh, see how words as old as sin
Fit me like a glove
I'm here and here I'll stay
Together we lie, together we pray
There never need be longing in your eyes
As long as the hand that rocks the cradle is mine
As long as the hand that rocks the cradle is mine
Mine
Climb up on my knee, sonny boy
Although you're only three, sonny boy
You're - you're mine
And your mother she just never knew
Oh, your mother ...
As long ... as long ... as long
I did my best for her
I did my best for her
As long ... as long ... as long as ... as long
I did my best for her
