WAY TO THE BLUE by Nick Drake

The lyrics to me are all about looking back at the boy I was - listening through the years that separate us now at what he knows...

Look through time and find your rhyme
Tell us what you find
We will wait
At your gate
Hoping like the blind...

Can you now recall all that you have known
Will you never fall
When the light has flown
Tell me all that you may know
Show me what you have to show
Won’t you come and say
If you know the way to blue?


Blue is what I have been for so long, having started that pathway as that boy I now am asking questions of. This song is about the journey I am on.

Breaking Benjamin: "What Lies Beneath"


"What Lies Beneath"

Take a breath
Hold it in
Start a fight
You won't win
Had enough
Let's begin
Nevermind
I don't care

All in all
You're no good
You don't cry
Like you should
Let it go
If you could
When love dies in the end

So I'll find what lies beneath
Your sick twisted smile
As I lie underneath
Your cold jaded eyes
Now you turn the tide on me
'Cause you're so unkind
I will always be here
For the rest of my life

Here we go
Does it hurt
Say goodbye
to this world
I will not
Be undone
Come to life
It gets worse

All in all
You're no good
You don't cry
Like you should
I'll be gone
when you fall
Your sad life
Says it all

So I'll find what lies beneath
Your sick twisted smile
As I lie underneath
Your cold jaded eyes
Now you turn the tide on me
'Cause you're so unkind
I will always be here
For the rest of my life

Don't carry me under
You're the devil in disguise
God sing for the hopeless
I'm the one you left behind

So I'll find what lies beneath
Your sick twisted smile
As I lie underneath
Your cold jaded eyes
Now you turn the tide on me
'Cause you're so unkind
I will always be here
For the rest of my life
 
Fivefold: "Lost Within"

"Lost Within"


Crawl out of the hole you're in
Who you are is not who you've been
Now's the time to sink or swim
Will you fight the tide or get lost within
And I know you're feeling low
Feel like you've lost control
But the darkness that you know
It's not your home and you're not alone

And all you've wanted was just so much more
This world has taken a hold
Don't let 'em get your soul
The silence
You feel it cold as a winter storm
This world has taken a hold
Don't let 'em get your soul

Iron bars are hell to break
Tell me now, do you know what's at stake?
Your whole life in a blank stare haze
You walk around like the end of days
And I know you're feeling low
Feel like you've lost control
But the darkness that you know
It's not your home and you're not alone

And all you've wanted was just so much more
This world has taken a hold
Don't let 'em get your soul
The silence
You feel it cold as a winter storm
This world has taken a hold
Don't let 'em get your soul

I'm callin' out to you
Can you hear me?
They can't break you down
Let you hit the ground
I promise you it won't be long
You're feeling overwhelmed here
Drowned by the pain and the fear
The sun will come with the dawn

All you've wanted was just so much more
This world has taken a hold
Don't let 'em get your soul
The silence
You feel it cold as a winter storm
This world has taken a hold
Don't let 'em get your soul
Get your soul
 
this may be just personal for me



You're My Best Friend
Queen
Ooh, you make me live
Whatever this world can give to me
It's you you're all I see
Ooh, you make me live now honey
Ooh, you make me live
Oh, you're the best friend that I ever had
I've been with you such a long time
You're my sunshine and I want you to know
That my feelings are true
I really love you
Oh, you're my best friend
Ooh, you make me live
Ooh, I've been wandering 'round
But I still come back to you
In rain or shine
You've stood by me girl
I'm happy at home
You're my best friend
Ooh, you make me live
Whenever this world is cruel to me
I got you to help me forgive
Ooh, you make me live now honey
Ooh, you make me live
You're the first one
When…
 
thanks 4Answers, I didn't saw your reply sooner.

For convenience the following link to your song:

Queen: You're my best friend

 
It's been a long time ago since I posted a song, so hopefully you get something out of it.
The "you" and "me" stands for the "little me" and "myself", as so often in the songs I submit.
But it's just one way of interpreting, maybe you see it different, if so, I don't mind. As long as it helps you forward I'm happy with it.

Katelyn Tarver: "Sinkin in"


"Sinking In"
(feat. Jake Scott)

Like a childhood room when you're home for a long weekend
Everything's the same but it all feels different

I remember when I used to
Know that I was safe next to you
Now I'm standing in the same place
And I don't feel anything at all

'Cause letting go of you feels like I'm letting go of me
Without you here I wouldn't who I am or who to be
If I walk away I'm scared I'll never see you again
But I'm fighting for a memory, I'm starting to forget
'Cause the thought of losing you is sinking in

You were the ground that I used to stand on
Now the familiar's gone and I'm trying to hold on

I've been trying to resist it
Tryna keep it at a distance, oh
But I'm standing in the same place
And I don't feel anything at all

'Cause letting go of you feels like I'm letting go of me
Without you here I wouldn't who I am or who to be
If I walk away I'm scared I'll never see you again
But I'm fighting for a memory, I'm starting to forget
'Cause the thought of losing you is sinking in

Don't leave me here
Don't leave me here
Don't leave me here
Don't leave me here
Don't leave me here
Don't leave me here

Don't leave me here
Don't leave me here
Don't leave me here
Don't leave me here
Don't leave me here
Don't leave me here

'Cause letting go of you feels like I'm letting go of me
Without you here I wouldn't who I am or who to be
If I walk away I'm scared I'll never see you again
But I'm fighting for a memory, I'm starting to forget
'Cause the thought of losing you is sinking in
 
An other song, could be interpreted rather dark, so read and listen if you're strong enough!

Citizen Soldier: "Would Anyone Care"


"Would Anyone Care"


Would anyone notice
If tonight I disappeared?
Would anyone chase me
And say the words that I need to hear?

That I'm no burden
Not so worthless
Bent so much that I just might break
All-consuming
So confusing
The questions that keep me awake

Would anyone care, would anyone cry
If I finally stepped off of this ledge tonight?
Would anything change, would you all be just fine?
'Cause I need a reason to not throw the fight
It just might save my life

Would anyone want me
If they knew what was inside my head?
Would anyone see me
For the person that I really am?

I won't lie
So hard to hide
I've never felt worthy of love
I would give up
Everything I have
Just to feel good enough

Would anyone care, would anyone cry
If I finally stepped off of this ledge tonight?
Would anything change, would you all be just fine?
'Cause I need a reason to not throw the fight
It just might save my life

If you're dying inside
Sick of being alive
Let me in, let me share in your pain
From my lungs through the dark
Spoken straight from the heart
Let me give you a reason to stay

If you're out there still lying awake
If you're out there still wondering

Would anyone care, would anyone cry
If you finally gave up and turned out the light?
The world would be changed if you left it behind
You can't be replaced, no, tonight is the night
You take back your life
Take back your life
Take back your life
Take back your life
 
Nathan Wagner: "Innocence"


"Innocence"


Before my garment lost it’s white
Before I saw my father cry
When fear was never on my mind
Take me there

When all I saw was silver gold
When shadows didn’t have a hold
Before I always needed more
Take me there

Bring me to the garden where we’d go
And cleanse my soul, cleanse my soul
Free me of this anger that I hold
And make me whole, make me whole

Darling won’t you let it go
You don’t have to let it hold you
Listen to the light
Don’t let the darkness take you
Always in this inner fight
Do I listen to the voice that says I’m
Worthless never will be right
Do I try to keep my head up high
Though I feel that I deserve it all
These daggers going through my chest
Can’t you see the devastated souls
The remains of my own foolishness

I’ll bring you to the garden where we’d go
And cleanse your soul, cleanse your soul
I’ll free you of this anger that you hold
And make you whole, I’ll make you whole

Darling won’t you let it go
You don’t have to let it hold you
Listen to the light
Don’t let the darkness take you

Your memories, aren’t your destiny
Your memories, aren’t your destiny
Your memories, aren’t your destiny
Your memories, aren’t your destiny

If I looked you in the eye
And showed the broken things inside
I won’t run away, I won’t run away
If you saw my darkest parts
The wicked things inside my heart
I won’t run away, I won’t run away

Listen to the light
Listen to the light
Lighten to the light
Listen to the light
Listen to the light
Lighten to the light
Listen to the light
Listen to the light
Lighten to the light
Listen to the light
Listen to the light
Lighten to the light
 
Citizen Soldier: "I'm Not Okay"


"I'm Not Okay"

Tonight the monsters in my head are screaming so damn loud
But I built walls so high so they never even make a sound
It's a mask, it's a lie, it's the only home I've ever known
'Cause being who I really am has only left me more alone

I am not okay, and I need you to see it
I have so much to say, and no one to hear it
The reason I keep quiet with so much at stake
I always feel like a burden, let it silence me
You'll never understand why it's so hard to say
I'm not okay

I wish I had a scar, had a bruise on the surface any kind of proof
That everything I feel is more than just some sad excuse
My life's invisible abuse, I'm either judged or have to hide
The only symptom you can see is I don't wanna be alive

I am not okay, and I need you to see it
I have so much to say, and no one to hear it
The reason I keep quiet with so much at stake
I always feel like a burden, let it silence me
You'll never understand why it's so hard to say

I'll never have the words, I can't explain this hell
But what if it kills me if I keep it to myself
To myself

I am not okay, and I need you to see it
I have so much to say, and no one to hear it
I'm not okay, I'm not okay
I'm never safe, it's not a phase
If I finally break would you still stay?

Tonight the monsters in my head are screaming so damn loud
 
"wish I had a scar, had a bruise on the surface any kind of proof
That everything I feel is more than just some sad excuse
My life's invisible abuse, I'm either judged or have to hide"


I feel this a lot
 
Citizen Soldier: "Hope It Haunts You"


"Hope It Haunts You"

Left me flesh and bone
I gave you everything
Empty, all alone
My regret is all that's left of me

I let you in so deep
Can't get you out, I'm seeing red
I can't forgive, I can't forget
You're always in my head

You stole my sanity
I'll never be the same
I hope it haunts you
I hope it haunts you
Someday you'll face the truth
When karma comes for you
I hope it haunts you
I hope it haunts you

Left me on the floor
And set it all on fire
Found me, so insecure
My weakness got you higher

I let you in so deep
Can't get you out, I'm seeing red
I can't forgive, I can't forget
You're always in my head

You stole my sanity
I'll never be the same
I hope it haunts you
I hope it haunts you
Someday you'll face the truth
When karma comes for you
I hope it haunts you
I hope it haunts you
I hope it haunts you

You, I hope you know, I hope you know
It's true, that loving you was torture, never been so low
You, you made me sick, you made me sick
You don't lose any sleep, I have to live with this

You stole my sanity
I'll never be the same
I hope it haunts you
I hope it haunts you
Someday you'll face the truth
When karma comes for you
I hope it haunts you
I hope it haunts you
 
Holly Brook (Skylar Grey): What I Wouldn't Give


Feeling like I can't forgive
But I want to
It's like I don't know how to live
I'm afraid to
I used to think, take them as they come
Without hesitation, no
Now it's like my head is filled with lies
And persuasions
As the sun begins to fall
I hear her calling out to me
She's saying, hurry it's one more day gone

What I wouldn't give just to forget
So I can remember how to live again
I want to live again

I'm feeling dissonant
And distracted
Toxic chemicals are spilling in my head
And they're bleeding deadly reactions
As the moon begins to rise
It shows me all the colours
That I'm hiding, I'm hiding myself

What I wouldn't give just to forget
What I wouldn't give to get some rest
So I can remember how to live again
I want to live again

Am I desperately losing this fight
When I should really be choosing my flight
Take me, take me, take me now

What I wouldn't give just to forget
What I wouldn't give to get some rest
So I can remember how to live again
I want to live again

What I wouldn't give just to forget
What I wouldn't give to get some rest
What I wouldn't give just to forget
So I can remember how to live
 
NF: Trauma


"Trauma"

Say you're there when I feel helpless
If that's true, why don't you help me?
It's my fault, I know I'm selfish
Stand alone, my soul is jealous
It wants love, but I reject it
Trade my joy for my protection

Grab my hand, I'm drowning
I feel my heart pounding
Why haven't you found me yet?
I hold you so proudly
Traumas, they surround me
I wish you'd just love me back

Say you're here, but I don't feel it
Give me peace, but then you steal it
Watch them laugh at all my secrets
Scream and yell, but I feel speechless
Ask for help, you call it weakness
Lied and promised me my freedom

Grab my hand, I'm drowning
I feel my heart pounding
Why haven't you found me yet?
I hold you so proudly
Traumas, they surround me
I wish you'd just love me back

Grab my hand, I'm drowning
I feel my heart pounding
Why haven't you found me yet?
 
Red: Hold Me Now


"Hold Me Now"

Fall asleep to dreams of home,
Where the waves are crashing.
The only place I've ever known,
Now the future has me.
I see the fire in the sky,
See it all around me.
I said the past is dead, the life I had is gone.
Said I won't give up,
Until I see the sun

Hold me now,
'Til the fear is leaving,
I am barely breathing.

Waking up and letting go,
To the sound of angels.
Am I alive or just a ghost?
Haunted by my sorrows.
Hope is slipping through my hands,
Gravity is taking hold.
Said I'm not afraid, that I am brave enough.
I will not give up,
Until I see the sun.

Hold me now,
'Til the fear is leaving,
I am barely breathing.
Crying out,
These tired wings are falling,
I need you to catch me.

As I burn,
As I break,
I can't take it anymore.
I return to the place,
Where the water covers over everything.
Rescue me some how.

Hold me now,
'Til the fear is leaving,
I am barely breathing.
Crying out.
These tired wings are falling,
I need you to catch me.
Hold me now,
'Til the fear is leaving,
I am barely breathing.
 
Blue October: Picking Up Pieces


"Picking Up Pieces"


I really need to talk with you
I keep stepping on the vein
That keeps my lifeline flowing through
I wanna be your perfect stick of glue
But I don't feel perfect at all
Sad and insecure flaw

I find it hard to hold conversations
I get sweaty sick and I wanna walk away
No, it's not you it's strictly me in this situation
I'm wondering will it ever go away...just go away, still

Sometimes I feel like weeping
Awake and when I'm sleeping
Perfecting how to put a game face on

This puzzle I've been keeping
Has been in hiding creeping out the closet door
Spilling out onto the floor

How long will I be picking up pieces
How long will I be picking up my heart

Listen...
I'll be as honest as I feel
I'm getting more paranoid and I'm hearing things
And they never turn out real
It feels like my heart is made of pure steel
It's just so heavy all the time

Yea I'm scared of death
And I'm scared of living
I gave up on the past cause it's unforgiving
I misplaced my trust

I watched my word begin to rust
I'm a balloon about to bust
I need a place for reliving

Sometimes I feel like weeping
Awake and when I'm sleeping
Perfecting how to put a game face on

And this puzzle I've been keeping
Has been in hiding creeping out the closet door
Spilling out onto the floor

How long will I be picking up pieces
How long will I be picking up my heart

How long (in another space and time)
Will I be picking up pieces in the corner of my mind
How long (its getting oh so hard to find)
Keep picking up pieces in the corner of my mind
But I still walk on
 
Ollie: Feelings


Why do feelings hit so hard at night?
When the sun goes down
Thinkin' 'bout you's my kryptonite
A little lost right now
And maybe I, maybe I didn't try
Try to work it out
Feelings always hit so hard at night

I think it's time I let these feelings free
'Cause all this love is slowly killing me
I wish somedays I was someone else
Not missing out and always missing sleep
I start to wonder if I'll die alone
Guess that's just the way my life has gone
Like, how could anybody love myself?
And that's something that I still—

Don't push me, I can't hold it
I can't hold it
I'm falling towards the ground
You shot me like a bullet, like a bullet
An all familiar sound, I've been so used to running away
Hate my truth; if I could, I'd change

Why do feelings hit so hard at night?
When the sun goes down
Thinkin' 'bout you's my kryptonite
A little lost right now
And maybe I, maybe I didn't try
Try to work it out
Why do feelings hit so hard at night? (Yeah, yeah)

Hurts but it's okay because I'm used to it
Curse when this song play for the truth in it
You're falling deeply for someone else
I think it's fair to say I'm losing it
I'm sick of feeling like I'm not enough
And having no one near that I can trust
Stay up thinking what I do wrong
I'm an addict, 'cause this love a drug

Don't push me, I can't hold it
I can't hold it
I'm falling towards the ground
You shot me like a bullet, like a bullet
An all familiar sound, I've been so used to running away
Hate my truth; if I could, I'd change

Why do feelings hit so hard at night?
When the sun goes down
Thinkin' 'bout you's my kryptonite
A little lost right now
And maybe I, maybe I didn't try
Try to work it out
Why do feelings hit so hard at night?


 
Munn: Fake Smiles


"Fake Smiles"

Felt safe in a life of devotion
But my life got wrecked I was broken
The scar set deep in my heart
Brought never ending waves of pain like the ocean

Too tired to fight
Can’t carry my burdens
Not much to give, I gave what I could
And the rest was stolen

Fake smiles is all I have to give
I can't find myself after all they did
Fake smiles is all that I have left
I feel the weight of it all on my chest
Fake smiles is all that I have left
I feel the weight of it all on my chest

Who am I?
Who am I, I'll tell you...
Just a silhouette of who I was the rest is dead

I’m not one to hold back blessings
But I gave too much, now I’m hurting
I felt that I couldn’t move on
I was stuck in place but the world kept turning

Too tired to fight
Can’t carry my burdens
Not much to give, I gave what I could
And the rest was stolen

Fake smiles is all I have to give
I can't find myself after all they did
Fake smiles is all that I have left
I feel the weight of it all on my chest
Fake smiles is all that I have left
I feel the weight of it all on my chest

Who am I?
Who am I, I'll tell you...
Just a silhouette of who I was, the rest is dead
 
Brent Morgan: Gonna be okay

"Gonna be okay"

Don't listen to the voice inside your head
You're doing just fine, you're trying your best
If no one ever told you it's all gonna be okay
We're just people never sleeping over stupid shit
We won't remember in the morning, yeah we're gonna forget
If no one ever told you it's all gonna be okay

When you lose faith in everything you ever knew
Don't give up on you

When life gets overwhelming
Relying on yourself is hard to do
But don't give up on you, no
If you've been lost and lonely
Ashamed to be alone with only you
With no one left to lose
If it's the last thing that you do
Don't give up on you

You've been living off opinions for way too long
Afraid to be right, ashamed to be wrong
If no one ever told you it's all gonna be okay
Those people always keeping up to keep you down
Stop looking for a reason just to keep 'em around
I know they never told you it's all gonna be okay

When you lose faith in everything you ever knew
Don't give up on you
When life gets overwhelming
Relying on yourself is hard to do
But don't give up on you, no
If you've been lost and lonely
Ashamed to be alone with only you
With no one left to lose
If it's the last thing that you do
Don't give up on you

There's no one like you, yeah
One of one, never gonna find another like you, yeah
You, there's no one like you, yeah
One of one, never gonna find another like you, yeah

When life gets overwhelming
Relying on yourself is hard to do
But don't give up on you, no
If you've been lost and lonely
Ashamed to be alone with only you
With no one left to lose
If it's the last thing that you do
Don't give up on you
 
Villain of the Story: "Breathe"

"Breathe"

I miss when things were simpler
We had no worries at all
Haven't felt that way in forever
But I try my best to stand tall

Living in this world gets harder every day
Need to remind myself to breathe
Wish I could turn back the time
To remember what this life has meant to me

I miss when things were together
Instead of falling apart
The things that I remember
Are the struggles that made me stronger
That feeling I’ll never let go

Living in this world gets harder every day
Need to remind myself to breathe
Wish I could turn back the time
To remember what this life has meant to me

I need to remind myself to breathe
 
Citizen Soldier: "Hope It Haunts You"


"Hope It Haunts You"

Left me flesh and bone
I gave you everything
Empty, all alone
My regret is all that's left of me

I let you in so deep
Can't get you out, I'm seeing red
I can't forgive, I can't forget
You're always in my head

You stole my sanity
I'll never be the same
I hope it haunts you
I hope it haunts you
Someday you'll face the truth
When karma comes for you
I hope it haunts you
I hope it haunts you

Left me on the floor
And set it all on fire
Found me, so insecure
My weakness got you higher

I let you in so deep
Can't get you out, I'm seeing red
I can't forgive, I can't forget
You're always in my head

You stole my sanity
I'll never be the same
I hope it haunts you
I hope it haunts you
Someday you'll face the truth
When karma comes for you
I hope it haunts you
I hope it haunts you
I hope it haunts you

You, I hope you know, I hope you know
It's true, that loving you was torture, never been so low
You, you made me sick, you made me sick
You don't lose any sleep, I have to live with this

You stole my sanity
I'll never be the same
I hope it haunts you
I hope it haunts you
Someday you'll face the truth
When karma comes for you
I hope it haunts you
I hope it haunts you


Love this band; they are one of my favorites. They have a few others that are very fitting for us as well. :)
