Hey Gabriel, looks like we have some taste of music in common.
I'll add an other lyric, I hope you like this too.
3 Doors Down: "Be Like That"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HHpMtWtgUvc
He spent his whole life being to young, {He spends his nights in California,}
To live the life that's in his dreams, {Watching the stars on the big screen,}
At night he lies awake and he wonders, {Then he lies awake and he wonders,}
Why cant that be me
Cause in his life he is filled
With all these good intentions
Hes left a lot of things
Hed rather not mention right now
But just before he says goodnight,
He looks up with a little smile at me,
And he says,
If I could be like that,
I would give anything
Just to live one day, in those shoes
If I could be like that,
what would I do,
What would I do
Now and dreams we run
She spends her days up in the north park,
Watching the people as they pass
And all she wants is just
A little piece of this dream,
Is that too much to ask
With a safe home, and a warm bed,
On a quiet little street
All she wants is just that something to
Hold onto, thats all she needs
Yeah!
If I could be like that,
I would give anything
Just to live one day, in those shoes
If I could be like that, what would I do,
What would I do
Im falling into this, in dreams,
We run away
If I could be like that,
I would give anything
Just to live one day, in those shoes
If I could be like that, what would I do,
What would I do
If I could be like that,
I would give anything
Just to live one day, in those shoes
If I could be like that, what would I do,
What would I do
If I could be like that,
I would give anything
Just to live one day, in those shoes
If I could be like that, what would I do,
What would I do
Falling in
I feel I am falling in, to this again.

3 Doors Down: "Duck and Run"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=epUQTJUDDIs
To this world I'm unimportant
Just because I have nothing to give
So you call this your free country
Tell me why it cost so much to live
Tell me why
This world can turn me down
But I wont turn away, oh no
I wont turn around
All my work and endless measures
Never seem to get me very far
Walk a mile just to move an inch
Now even though I'm trying so damn hard
I'm trying so hard
This world can turn me down but I
Wont turn away
And I wont duck and run, cause
I'm not built that way
When everything is gone there is
Nothing there to fear
This world cannot bring me down
No cause I'm already here, oh no!
I am already here,
Down on my knees
I am already here, on no, I am
Already here
I must have told you a thousand times,
I am not running away
I wont duck and run
I wont duck and run
I wont duck and run
No pass away
This world can turn me down but I
Wont turn away
And I wont duck and run, cause
I'm not built that way
When everything is gone
There is nothing there to fear
This world cannot bring me down
No cause I'm already here
This world can turn me down
But I wont turn away
And I wont duck and run
Cause I'm not built that way
When everything is gone there
Is nothing there to fear
This world cannot bring me down
No cause I'm already here

Hey guys, I just stumbled to this song, it's from their new album, which still has to come out. It really is a great song. I think they really sing what everyone of us have thaught at some time of their life or even still think. Worth listening to, but it can be triggering, so if you're not sure, maybe you should read the lyric first before listening to it.
3 Doors Down: "When You're Young"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j7h_b-YA5qM
So far away from knowing where I am going
I am trying hard to find out who I am
They all see that I don't know what I am doing
I say they don't hardly understand
Why can't they remember
What I will never forget
How these dreams come undone
When you're young
You give what you give cause they make you
Trapped inside a place that won't take you
And they want you to be what they make you
It's already over and done
When you're young
Everything seems perfect
Everything's okay
And it will all get better now
At least that's what they say
But I don't see it coming
You give what you give cause they make you
Trapped inside a place that won't take you
And they want you to be what they make you
It's already over and done
When you're young
Days really just seem longer
They say it's better this way
I hope one day I am stronger than I feel
And I hope it feels different than today
You give what you give cause they make you
Trapped inside a place that won't take you
And they want you to be what they make you
(It's already over and done) [x3]
When you're young
Why can't they remember
What I will never forget
How these dreams come undone
When you're young

this one is really good... love the video
And here's an other one.
Linkin Park: "Easier to Run"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vMMS9v8Ogbw
It's easier to run
Replacing this pain with something numb
It's so much easier to go
Than face all this pain here all alone
Something has been taken from deep inside of me
The secret I've kept locked away no one can ever see
Wounds so deep they never show they never go away
Like moving pictures in my head for years and years they've played
(If I could change I would take back the pain I would)
(Retrace every wrong move that I made I would)
(If I could stand up and take the blame I would)
(If I could take all the shame to the grave I would)
(If I could change I would take back the pain I would)
(Retrace every wrong move that I made I would)
(If I could stand up and take the blame I would)
(I would take all my shame to the grave)
[Chorus]
It's easier to run
Replacing this pain with something numb
It's so much easier to go
Than face all this pain here all alone
Sometimes I remember the darkness of my past
Bringing back these memories I wish I didn't have
Sometimes I think of letting go and never looking back
And never moving forward so there'd never be a past
(If I could change I would take back the pain I would)
(Retrace every wrong move that I made I would)
(If I could stand up and take the blame I would)
(If I could take all the shame to the grave I would)
(If I could change I would take back the pain I would)
(Retrace every wrong move that I made I would)
(If I could stand up and take the blame I would)
(I would take all my shame to the grave)
Just washing it aside
All of the helplessness inside
Pretending I don't feel misplaced
It's so much simpler than change
[Chorus]
It's easier to run
Replacing this pain with something numb
It's so much easier to go
Than face all this pain here all alone
It's easier to run
(If I could change I would take back the pain I would)
(Retrace every wrong move that I made)
It's easier to go
(If I could change I would take back the pain I would)
(Retrace every wrong move that I made I would)
(If I could stand up and take the blame I would)
(I would take all my shame to the grave)

Here's a new post. Those who like "3 Doors Down" will like it a lot.
3 Doors Down: "When I'm Gone"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vn9LZNNeDJk
There's another world inside of me
That you may never see
There're secrets in this life
That I can't hide
Somewhere in this darkness
There's a light that I can't find
Maybe it's too far away...
Or maybe I'm just blind...
Or maybe I'm just blind...
[Chorus]
So hold me when I'm here
Right me when I'm wrong
Hold me when I'm scared
And love me when I'm gone
Everything I am
And everything in me
Wants to be the one
You wanted me to be
I'll never let you down
Even if I could
I'd give up everything
If only for your good
So hold me when I'm here
Right me when I'm wrong
You can hold me when I'm scared
You won't always be there
So love me when I'm gone
Love me when I'm gone...
When your education X-Ray
Cannot see under my skin
I won't tell you a damn thing
That I could not tell my friends
Roaming through this darkness
I'm alive but I'm alone
Part of me is fighting this
But part of me is gone
[Chorus]
Or maybe I'm just blind...
[Chorus]
Love me when I'm gone...
Love me when I'm gone
When I'm Gone
When I'm Gone
When I'm Gone

3 Doors Down: "Changes"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=srlUuVVhCek
I'm not suposed to be scared of anything, but I don't know where I am
I wish that I could move but I'm exhausted and nobody understands (how I feel)
I'm trying hard to breathe now but there's no air in my lungs
There's no one here to talk to and the pain inside is making me numb
I try to hold this Under control
They can't help me 'Cause no one knows
Now I'm going through changes, changes
God, I feel so frustrated lately
When I get suffocated, save me
Now I'm going through changes, changes
I'm feeling weak and weary walking through this world alone
Everything you say, every word of it, cuts me to the bone
I've got something to say, but now I've got no where to turn
It feels like I've been buried underneath all the weight of the world
I try to hold this Under control
They can't help me 'Cause no one knows
Now I'm going through changes, changes
God, I feel so frustrated lately
When I get suffocated, save me
Now I'm going through changes, changes
I'm blind and shakin'
Bound and breaking
I hope I make it through all these changes
Now I'm going through changes, changes
God, I feel so frustrated lately
When I get suffocated, save me
Now I'm falling apart, now I feel it
But I'm going through changes, changes
God, I feel so frustrated lately
And I get suffocated, I hate this
But I'm going through changes, changes

Hi guys, here's a new lyric, but for a change it's not one of 3 Doors Down,
For me the "we" in "realise we are one" resemblance the young child and the current guy as one. The "I had it all" resemblance the time before the abuse started. For the rest I believe this song sais it all.
Alter Bridge: "Open Your Eyes"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a4Rp-PEDGdQ
Looking back I clearly see
What it is that's killing me
Through the eyes of one I know
I see a vision once let go
I had it all
Constantly it burdens me
Hard to trust and can't believe
Lost the faith and lost the love
When the day is done
Will they open their eyes
And realize we are one
On and on we stand alone
Until our day has come
When they open their eyes
And realize we are one
I love the way I feel today
But how I know the sun will fade
Darker days seem to be
What will always live in me
But still I run
It's hard to walk this path alone
Hard to know which way to go
Will I ever save this day
Will it ever change
Will they open their eyes
And realize we are one
On and on we stand alone
Until our day has come
Will they open their eyes
And realize we are one
Still today we carry on
I know our day will come
When they open their eyes
And realize we are one
Will they open their eyes
And realize we are one
(its hard to walk this path alone
hard to know which way to go)
Will they open their eyes
and realize we are one
(lost the faith and lost the love when the day is done)
Will they open their eyes
And realize we are one

The last few songs were all in the genre of rock, so I thought I put a new one up, which is more classical.
Enya: May It Be
From The Lord of the Rings I: The Fellowship of the Ring
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-anrM9wl0T8&feature=related
May it be an evening star
Shines down upon you
May it be when darkness falls
Your heart will be true
You walk a lonely road
Oh! How far you are from home
Mornie utli (darkness has come)
Believe and you will find your way
Mornie alanti (darkness has fallen)
A promise lives within you now
May it be the shadows call
Will fly away
May it be you journey on
To light the day
When the night is overcome
You may rise to find the sun
Mornie utli (darkness has come)
Believe and you will find your way
Mornie alanti (darkness has fallen)
A promise lives within you now
A promise lives within you now

Hey guys, here's an other lyric from a Disney movie.
For me it's a song of hope.
Maybe there's a better version of this youtube-link. But for me are the words in this song the most important.
Eternal: "Someday"
From "The Hunchback of Notre Dame"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HZ2DeUsspxY
Someday
When we are wiser
When the world's older
When we have learned
I pray
Someday we may yet live
To live and let live
Someday
Life will be fairer
Need will be rarer
Greed will not pay
God speed
This bright millenium
On its way
Let it come
Someday
Someday
Our fight will be won then
We'll stand in the sun then
That bright afternoon
Till then
On days when the sun is gone
We'll hang on
Wish upon the moon
There are some days dark and bitter
Seems we haven't got a prayer
But a prayer for someday better
Is the one thing we all share
Someday
When we are wiser
When the world's older
When we have learned
I pray
Someday we may yet live
To live and let live
Someday
Life will be fairer
Need will be rarer
Greed wil not pay
God speed
This bright millenium
Let it come
Wish upon the moon
One day
Someday
Soon.

It's been a while since I posted a new lyric. Here's an other one of Bryan Adams. Allthought it's meant as a lovesong to the Horse "Spirit". As seen in the movie Spirit - Stallion of the Cimarron.
I read it slightly different.
For me it's about the love and the acceptance for the little boy inside. Where do I have to put you? Which space do I have to give the little boy in me? As long as I don't know, I'm going round in circles. Only by letting you be part of me, I will be free.
I'm still thinking about this song though.
Bryan Adams: "Nothing I've Ever Known"
As used in the movie: "Spirit - Stallion of the Cimarron"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0RIur4uHF_c&feature=related
Right now I feel - just like a leaf on a breeze
Who knows where it's blowin'
Who knows where it's goin'
I find myself somewhere I - I never thought I'd be
Going round in circles
Thinking about you and me
How do I explain it when I don't know what to say
What do I do now - so much has changed
Nothing I have ever known - has made me feel this way
Nothing I have ever seen - has made me want to stay
but here I am - ready for you
I'm turnin', I'm fallin' - I hear my home callin'
Hey - I've never felt somethin's so strong - oh no
It's like nothing I've ever known
Now you're the one I'm looking for
You're the one I need
You're the one that gives me - a reason to believe
Following a star - has lead to where you are
It feels so stong now - this can't be wrong now
I read it slightly different.
For me it's about the love and the acceptance for the little boy inside. Where do I have to put you? Which space do I have to give the little boy in me? As long as I don't know, I'm going round in circles. Only by letting you be part of me, I will be free.
I'm still thinking about this song though.
Bryan Adams: "Nothing I've Ever Known"
As used in the movie: "Spirit - Stallion of the Cimarron"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0RIur4uHF_c&feature=related
Right now I feel - just like a leaf on a breeze
Who knows where it's blowin'
Who knows where it's goin'
I find myself somewhere I - I never thought I'd be
Going round in circles
Thinking about you and me
How do I explain it when I don't know what to say
What do I do now - so much has changed
Nothing I have ever known - has made me feel this way
Nothing I have ever seen - has made me want to stay
but here I am - ready for you
I'm turnin', I'm fallin' - I hear my home callin'
Hey - I've never felt somethin's so strong - oh no
It's like nothing I've ever known
Now you're the one I'm looking for
You're the one I need
You're the one that gives me - a reason to believe
Following a star - has lead to where you are
It feels so stong now - this can't be wrong now
Hey guys, it's been a while since I posted some lyrics. But I just found an other song I really like. I hope you guys like it.
The meaning of this song for me is more or less something like this:
In the first paragraph I speak myself, all of the following paragraphs it's my inner child crying out to me.
My inner child is requesting me to release him now from all the quilt and all the shame. He waited long enough. So please just let "little me" be who he always was going to be. And ultimately just let "little me" out from the cell or compartment I tried to keep him in. In order to prevent me from behaving like I really am without the walls and the defensive structures all around me. In the beginning it looked "smart" to leaving him behind and picking him up once it would have been safe again. It's just that it never looks the right time, and in the end I never really intended to pick him up anyway.
I know it's not written down easily. What I really wanted to tell was in short: my inner child has been locked up long enough and wants to be free.
3 Doors Down: "Let Me Be Myself"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4pk8z0getxM
I guess i just got lost
Bein' someone else
I tried to kill the pain
Nothin ever helped
I left myself behind
Somewhere along the way
Hopin to come back around
To find myself someday
Lately i'm so tired of waiting for you
To say that it's ok, but tell me
Please, would you one time
Just let me be myself
So i can shine with my own light
Let me be myself
Would you let me be myself
I'll never find my heart
Behind someone else
I'll never see the light of day
Living in this cell
It's time to make my way
Into the world i knew
Take back all of these times
That i gave in to you
Lately i'm so tired of waiting for you
To say that it's ok, but tell me
Please, would you one time
Let me be myself
So i can shine with my own light
And let me be myself
For a while, if you don't mind
Let me be myself
So i can shine with my own light
Let me be myself
That's all i've ever wanted from this world
Is to let me be me
Please would you one time
Let me be myself
So i can shine with my own light
Let me be myself
Please would you one time
Let me be myself
So i can shine with my own light
Let me be myself
For a while, if you don't mind
Let me be myself
So i can shine with my own light
Let me be myself
Would you one time... oooh
Let me be myself
Let me be me

3 Doors Down: "It's The Only One You've Got"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FIm3EspcZS0
How do you know where you're going
When you don't know where you've been
You hide the shame that you're not showing
And you won't let anyone in
A crowded street can be a quiet place
When you're walking alone
And now you think that you're the only
One who doesn't
[Chorus:]
Have to try
And you won't have to fail
If you're afraid to fly
Then i guess you never will
You hide behind your walls
Of maybe nevers
Forgetting that there's something more
Than just knowing better
Your mistakes do not define you now
They tell you who you're not
You've got to live this life you're given
Like it's the only one you've got
Memories have left you broken
And the scars have never healed
The emptiness in you is growing
But so little left to fill
You're scared to look back on the days before
You're too tired to move on
And now you think that you're the only one who doesn't
[Chorus]
What would it take
To get you to say that I'll try
And what would you say if
This was the last day of your life
You hide behind your walls
Of maybe nevers
Forgetting that there's something more
Than just knowing better
Your mistakes do not define you now
They tell you who you're not
You've got to live this life you're given
Like it's the only one you've got
You hide behind your walls
Of maybe nevers
Forgetting that there's something more
Than just knowing better
Your mistakes do not define you now
They tell you who you're not
You've got to live this life you're given

Here's an other song I like a lot.
3 Doors Down: "Back To Me"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=giI569NiShg
"Back To Me"
I have poured out my heart,
And laid it right here for you,
And I've tried so hard,
That's the best that I can do,
Please understand I am not who I was,
You used to be all that I had,
Now you're just not what I need,
I've got to get over you and I know,
Then I can get back to me.
Tears forget, that's more than I can do,
'Cause they don't wash away,
All the things that we've been through,
I've put behind me my share of the shame,
We could call villains but it's all in vain.
You used to be all that I had,
Now you're just not what I need,
I've got to get over you and I know,
Then I can get back to me.
All of my life I've waited hoping,
Wanting you to see me the way that I am,
But now I know, that I'm not alone
Someone understands
You used to be all that I had,
Now you're just not what I need,
I've got to get over you and I know,
Then I can get back to me.
You've got to know that
You used to be all that I had,
Now you're just not what I need,
I've got to get over you and I know,
Then I can get back to me.
Then I can get back to me,
(Then I can get back to me)
Then I can get back to me

Long time ago, that I posted a lyric, so here it goes.
Within Temptation: "Empty Eyes"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5QOdVHFtwcI
"Empty Eyes"
Youre determined by faith
You pretend to make up
You lay out your case like the enemy
But all that you got
through dirty white lies
Cant find the damned correct way of blaming me
for your crimes
Wont you talk to me
Dont laugh and run away
Im onto you, yesterday
with empty eyes
I dont know where Im going
in search for answers
I dont know who Im fighting
I stand with empty eyes
Youre like a ghost within me
whos draining my life
Its like my soul is seen through
Right through my empty eyes
Right through my empty eyes
Im about to give in
Got nowhere to go
Afraid of the sense Im holding on
Theres no other way
No doubt in the end
But I aint got a thing to lose
Nothing to defend
Wont you talk to me
Dont laugh and run away
Im onto you, yesterday
With empty eyes
I dont know where Im going
In search for answers
I dont know who Im fighting
I stand with empty eyes
Youre like a ghost within me
whos draining my life
Its like my soul is seen through
Right through my empty eyes
Ohh, ohh please wont you give in to me
Wont you finally speak true from lie
Youre determined by faith
You pretend to make up
You lay out your case like the enemy
Like the enemy
With empty eyes
I dont know where Im going
in search for answers
I dont know who Im fighting
I stand with empty eyes
Youre like a ghost within me
whos draining my life
Its like my soul is seen through
Right through my empty eyes
Right through my empty eyes.

Within Temptation: "I Don't Wanna"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QFfwUdTrJAc
"I Don't Wanna"
Im on a road of broken dreams
And I need to know why
Seek the truth through lies to be my guide
Im in a world of doubt and trust
Cant deny
I lost my way here in this quest, cant lie
I cant believe what's happening, I dont know what to say
I can't believe I left to see this day
I dont wanna live this way, it haunts my mind
And I just need to get it straight, stop wasting time
And I dont wanna live and feel that I can change whats right
But I know, well be living in a lie
Oh Ill be hanging on the cross
When I put the nails in
Its time to choose a road that we believe in
You say you understand it all, try and smile
If only I could see its true somehow
I cant believe whats happening
I dont know what to say
And what I wouldnt give to change our fate
I dont wanna live this way, it haunts my mind
And I just need to get it straight, stop wasting time
And I dont wanna live and feel that I can change what's right
But I know, well be living in a lie
And Ive tried so hard to hold on
But I keep on falling
And no matter how hard I run
I just keep returning
And Im back to where I started from
I dont wanna live this way, it haunts my mind
And I just need to get it straight, stop wasting time
I dont wanna live this way ,it haunts my mind
And I just need to get it straight, stop wasting time
And I dont wanna live and feel that I can change what's right
But I know, well be living in a lie

Here's an other song.
I interpretate these lyrics as like they were said to our perps.
Linkin Park: "Points of Authority"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hrJWfC9yh90
"Points of Authority"
Forfeit the game
Before somebody else
Takes you out of the frame
And puts your name to shame
Cover up your face
You can't run the race
The pace is too fast
You just won't last
You love the way I look at you
While taking pleasure in the awful things you put me through
You take away when I give in
My life
My pride is broken
[Chorus:]
You like to think you're never wrong
(You live what you've learned)
You have to act like you're someone
(You live what you've learned)
You want someone to hurt like you
(You live what you've learned)
You want to share what you have been through
(You live what you've learned)
You love the things I say I'll do
The way I hurt myself again just to get back at you
You take away when I give in
My life
My pride is broken
[Chorus]
Forfeit the game
Before somebody else
Takes you out of the frame
And puts your name to shame
Cover up your face
You can't run the race
The pace is too fast
You just won't last
[Chorus]
[Chorus:]
You like to think you're never wrong Forfeit the game
(You live what you've learned)
You have to act like you're someone Forfeit the game

Hey guys, it's been already a while again, so I thought I really had to put down an other possibly inspiring song.
For me it's about my inner child again. The "you" in this song is "little me" while the "I" is the "current me". The cruel wanting speaks about the "normal life", "a family", "children",... all what is ordinary to others but for me is just a "cruel wanting".
But of course your interpretation can be totally different. I hope you like this one, and till later.
Evanescence: "Lost In Paradise"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i5fcVMZXkU0&feature=related
"Lost In Paradise"
I've been believing in something so distant
As if I was human
And I've been denying this feeling of hopelessness
In me, in me
All the promises I made
Just to let you down
You believed in me, but I'm broken
I have nothing left
And all I feel is this cruel wanting
We've been falling for all this time
And now I'm lost in paradise
As much as I'd like the past not to exist
It still does
And as much as I'd like to feel like I belong here
I'm just as scared as you
I have nothing left
And all I feel is this cruel wanting
We've been falling for all this time
And now I'm lost in paradise
Run away, run away
One day we won't feel this pain anymore
Take it all away
Shadows of you
Cause they won't let me go
Until I have nothing left
And all I feel is this cruel wanting
We've been falling for all this time
And now I'm lost in paradise
Alone, and lost in paradise
