 I've been taken by a lot of the lyrics from hard rock band, Shinedown. Some of their lyrics might seem a bit dark (like "45", which got a lot of airplay in 2004) but all their songs (written by vocalist Brent Smith) have a seed of positivity- a glimmer or gleam of hope through the darkness, if you will.
The music speaks of disenfranchisement, a little bit of lost self and all the sh*t that happens to people. Or that people just have to go (survive? live?) through.
Sh*t I can identify with as I struggle with myself- my past, my present and whatever future might be mine. And the sh*t a$$ job thats burning too much of my present without showing anything bright for my future. |
Burning Bright
I feel like there is no need for conversation
Some questions are better left without a reason
And I would rather reveal myself than my situation
Now and then I consider, my hesitation
The more the light shines through me
I pretend to close my eyes
The more the dark consumes me
I pretend I'm burning, burning bright
I wonder if the things I did were just to be different
To spare myself of the constant shame of my existence
And I would surely redeem myself in my desperation
Here and now I'll express, my situation
There's nothing ever wrong but nothing's ever right
Such a cruel contradiction
I know I cross the lines its not easy to define
I'm born to indecision
There's always something new some path I'm supposed to choose
With no particular rhyme or reason |
All I Ever Wanted
I lie here alone and wonder why
That I come alive, just before I half to hide.
Because I believe I'm losing my nerve
But could I ever do better than this
Because all I ever wanted was a place to call my home
To shelter me when I am there and to miss me when I'm gone
All I ever wanted was a place to call my own
Where stars may dance and sun still shines and the storms feel free to roam
I listen if only for a while
But I can't decide if I'm aware that I'm on trial
If there's a way to a remedy then lead me straight to it
If there's a path or a door I missed , then show me now, show me this
feel free when I am gone |
