Song lyrics that actually mean something to YOU

[Ellie]

Sometimes you hear some lyrics so profound it's as if the song was written by/for you. Sometimes it's just snippets, taken out of context. Either way, dump them here.

Not after full songs unless the entire song is honestly perfect.

When I was young it seemed that life was so wonderful, a miracle, oh it was beautiful, magical
And all the birds in the trees well they'd be singing so happily, joyfully, oh playfully watching me
But then they sent me away to teach me how to be sensible, logical, oh responsible, practical
And then they showed me a world where I could be so dependable, clinical, intellectual, cynical

There are times when all the world's asleep when questions run to deep for such a simple man
Won't you please just tell me what we've learned, I know it sounds absurd: please tell me who I am

(Supertramp, Logical Song)

I The Mighty - Silver Tongues. I could post an excerpt of every song from Where the Mind Wants to go here. But I won't.

And never again will I spend all the precious time that I have left
On those who oppose anyone doing what they love
And if you ever forget what was said
Between all the talks and wasted breath
I hope that you won't start again from the bottom

I'm not falling off
I'm not getting old
They say I'll come back with something bitter,
But I'll make it so much better
Not falling off
And I'm not on my own
No need to pull myself together
I've got more right now than ever

Starset - Diving Bell as well as a little bonus from the end of the track.

I was certain if I fell through the bottom
You'd be happy just to float here on your own
I was never quite prepared for the long ride
Oh, away, away, away alone

Oh, this wasn't in my plans
Abandoned ship and heading for the sand
Oh, the albatross crash-lands
I've got this sinking feeling that I never can go home

Wake me when the new day comes
Together we will ride the sun
The future is an empty gun
We fire onto them one-by-one

I could post so many of these you have no idea.
