Inspirational Lyrics

[sugar]

I know this topic has been done many times, but I always like reading what lyrics have been meaningful to others.

In tough times I know I have turned to music for solace, support, and letting off steam.

For me, the song "Hideaway" by De Lacy (I know some of you see this type of song as a cheesey house anthem) has always been about being a strong individual (whereas in a song like "Independent Woman" by Destiny's Child, the only measure of independence is being able to "Buy my own diamonds and I buy my own rings")

Hideaway

I got a man who tries to run me
That’s the way to make me runaway
He don’t know he’s just a pushin me
To a man who makes me happy

I’m an independent woman
I don’t need no man to take care of me
Can’t nobody pay for my problems
Cuz I supply my own security

I need a h-h-h-hideaway
Don’t make me runaway
Listen to me
Need a hi-h-h-hideaway
Don’t make me runaway
No no

If it ain’t one thing it’s another
Don’t ya get caught up in your two-time lovers
Love will make you blind every time
But now I need a little peace of mind

My mistake was letting my guard down
Setting myself up for this runaround
Now you just don’t need to let me go
Now I know you don’t have [something unintelligable]

I need a h-h-h-hideaway
Don’t make me runaway
Sing it with me
Need a hi-h-h-hideaway
Don’t make me runaway
Uh oh

I stole your honey like I stole your bike

words of wisdom.

Fearless
(Waters, Gilmour)

You say the hill's too steep to climb
Climb it.
You say you'd like to see me try
Climbing.

You pick the place and I'll choose the time
And I'll climb
That hill in my own way.
Just wait a while for the right day.
And as I rise above the tree lines and the clouds
I look down, hearing the sound of the things you've said today.

Fearlessly the idiot faced the crowd
Smiling.
Merciless the magistrate turns 'round
Frowning.

And who's the fool who wears the crown?
And go down,
in your own way
And every day is the right day
And as you rise above the fear-lines in his brow
You look down, hearing the sound of the faces in the crowd.

BBB.

Love that song.

Anywhere I find myself,
On my own with no one else,
Listening to the same old song
All night long.

Anytime I find myself,
Wrestling with my mental health,
Bout this or that or something else,
Right or wrong

I am one of the people
One of the people
One of the people
One of the people

I am one of the people
One of the people
One of the people
One of the people

...my nigga Dr.Dre came through with a gang and Tanqueray
and a phat-ass J of some bubonic chronic that made me choke
shit this ain't no joke
I had to back up of it and set my cup down
Tanqueray and chronic yeah I'm fuct up now

But I'm still poppin', ain't no stoppin
Dre came through with some bitches from Compton
to serve me not with a cherry on top
but when I bust my nut she's raisin' up off the cock
don't get upset girl that's just how it go
we don't love them ho's, I'm out tha do'

cause I'll be

rollin' down the street smokin' endo, sippin on Gin and Juice
Laid back
With my mind on my money and my money on my mind


This song was the inspiration for many a drunken summer evening with the crew. We thought we were so hardcore, l'il north toronto punks running around with phat sacs of herb, 40oz of Tanqueray, yelling at girls...never getting them but always thinking we were the roughest of the roughnecks...before we drove our parents cars home, slept in beds our parents bought us, and asked our parents for the keys again the next day...damn that was some fun ass shit.

In my heart,
In my head,
There's a place that only we can ever know....

It is there
That we meet
That we can share ourselves and let our feelings show...

So I sleep
And I dream
Of you turning crystal raindrops into snow.

There I wait
For your kiss
And you breathe your breath back into me.

Be as one
Feel as one
Breathe as one
Love as one
Be as one
Feel as one
Breathe as one
Love as one
Be as one
Feel as one
Breathe as one
Love as one
Be as one
Feel as one
Breathe as one
Love as one.

If you trip up babe when you run to fast
I will be there to slow you down
If you tumble
If you die
If I got to stay alive
We got to keep it for love
We got to keep it for love

You give me
The love that I need
Lifting me up into the light
To bring me back down to your paradise.

I can see,
You in me.
I got you inside and out
It's never, never too much, too much for me.

Be as one
Feel as one
Breathe as one
Love as one
Be as one
Feel as one
Breathe as one
Love as one
Be as one
Feel as one
Breathe as one
Love as one
Be as one
Feel as one
Breathe as one
Love as one

If we could find a way
To be as one
Then we would never be lonely
If you believe in me, be as one

If we could find a way
To be as one
Then we would never be lonely
If you believe in me, be as one

Be as one
Feel as one
Breathe as one
Love as one
Be as one
Feel as one
Breathe as one
Love as one
Be as one
Feel as one
Breathe as one
Love as one
Be as one
Feel as one
Breathe as one
Love as one
