Touching Lyrics, Songs that describe your life

I am unsure as to whether or not we have a thread like this, but I'll give it a go.
Do you have any songs that, when listened to over and over again, describe your life or an aspect of your life, so well that it makes you ponder? If so, and if you want to, describe the song and it's relevance to you. Include the lyrics if you wish. As a bonus, it's a good way to introduce our fellow members to different types of music. I'll start.

My song chosen is "At the End" by Iio. It is a trance song that, to me, describes my life very well. Now it's your turn.

Iio - At the End

When you're away, I'm feeling empty
I lose my mind
But when you're around, I take for granted
Most of our time

Honey you say that I'm cold
And sometimes I'm out of control
Baby, you know how I am, at the end, you're always mine

I don't mean to when I hurt you
But I need you, I can show you
Just let me be when I'm crazy,
At the end you're still my only.
At the end [x3]

Right when you're gone, I really miss you
You got my heart.
When you come back, I just wanna kiss you
And it tears you apart.
Honey do make me stay,
Believe me it's better this way.
Baby I'm true and I'm real.
I'm giving you all that I feel.

[Chorus x2]

Sweety, I'm trying my best,
To give you the most and the less.
Darling, I'm true and I'm real,
I'm giving you all that I feel.

[Chorus x2]

Pink Floys, Comfortably Numb...

"when I was a child, I caught a fleeting glimpse
out of the corner of my eye,
I turned to look but it was gone,
I cannot put my finger on it now
the child is grown, the dream is gone...
and I have become comfortably numb"

*good idea, Pete...there's, like, a trillion songs like that for me*
{{hugs}}

Great thread idea!! I have several such songs. The first one that came to mind, though, was Selah by Lauryn Hill.

Nothing can be done against the truth
No matter how we remain in denial, yeah
Wasting time
Replacing time
With each empty excuse
But that'll only work a little while
Coping with despair
Knowing you're not there
Ashamed to just admit
I've been a fool
So I blame it on the Sun
Run away from everyone
Hoping to escape this ridicule
Trapped in misery
Wrapped so miserably
In this deception that im wearing like a skin

Dying to mantain
Oh I keep trying to explain
A heart that never loved me to begin
Oh I'm such a mess
I have no choice but to confess
That I've been desperately trying to belong
Lying to myself
And everybody else
Refusing to admit my right was wrong

And then He came
Selah
And it means
Praise and meditation
And then He came
Selah
And it means
Did you think about that?
And then He came
Selah
Oh and it means
Praise and meditation
And then He came
Selah
Oh and it means
That it is seen

How beautiful is fruit still in denial of its roots?
My guilty heart behaved so foolishly
This treason from within
That reasons with my sin
Won't be happy til it sees the death of me
Selfishly addicted
To a life that I depicted
Conflicted cuz it's not reality
Oh what's left of me
I beg you desperately
Cause me to agree with what I know is best for me
Please save me from myself
I need You to save me from myself
Please save me from myself so I can heal

The choices that Ive made
Oh have been nothing but mistakes
What a wasted use of space
Should I die before I wake?
In all of my religion
I've fortified this prison
Obligated to obey
The demands of bad decisions

Please save me from myself
I need You to save me from myself
Please save me from myself so I can heal

And then He came
Selah
And it means
Praise and meditation
And then He came
Selah
And it means
Did you think about that?
And He came
Selah
Oh and it means
Meditation
And then He came
Selah
Oh and it means
That it is seen

And then He came
And then He came
Then He came, then He came, then He came
And then He came

This one I can dedicate to numerous people.

Umbrella/Cinderella Remix --- Rihanna, Chris Brown feat Jay-Z
aka Cindrella under my Umbrella and various other names

[Jay-Z]
(Uh huh, uh huh) Remix
(Uh huh, uh huh) Yea Rihanna, Chris Brown
(Uh huh, uh huh) Good girl gone bad
(Uh huh, uh huh) Take three... Action!
(Uh huh, uh huh) Hov!

No clouds in my stones
Let it rain, I hydroplane into fame (Eh, eh, eh)
Coming down with the Dow Jones
When the clouds come we gone
We roc-a-fella (Eh, eh, eh)
We fly higher than weather and G5's are better
You know me, an anticipation for precipitation
Stacks chips for the rainy day (Eh, eh, eh)
Jayy
Rain man is back with little miss sunshine
Rihanna where you at?

[Rihanna]
You had my heart
We'll never be worlds apart
Maybe in magazines but you'll still be my star
Baby 'cause in the dark you can't see shiny cars
And that's when you need me there
With you I'll always share because

[Chorus][Rihanna]
When the sun shine we'll shine together
Told you I'll be here forever
Said I'll always be your friend
Took an oath, I'mma stick it out 'til the end
Now that it's raining more than ever know that we'll still have eachother
You can stand under my umbrella
You can stand under my umbrella (ella ella eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella (ella ella eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella (ella ella eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella (ella ella eh eh eh eh eh-eh)

[Chris Brown]
You're becoming a dream to me
Fairytale fantasy
Nothing can ever compare
An image to my memory
Girl I'm asking could you be my queen?
A vision on a magazine
That's when I'll be there
It's something we both share
Because

[Chorus][Chris Brown]
When the sun shine, we'll shine together
You know I'll be here forever
Although it's alot of rain outside
Girl it's getting late you can stay the night
But you can dip out anytime whenever
I can call a car I ain't tryna stress ya
I'm looking for the one with the glass slipper
Baby girl you can be my Cinderella (ella ella eh eh eh)
You can be my Cinderella (ella ella eh eh eh)
You can be my Cinderella (ella ella eh eh eh)
You can be my Cinderella (ella ella eh eh eh eh eh-eh)

[Both]
You can run into my arms
It's okay don't be alarmed
Come into me
There's no distance in between our love
So go on and say my name some more
I'll be all you need and more (ah.. you ready?)
Because

[Chorus]
When the sun shines, we'll shine together
Told you I'll be here forever
Said I'll always be a friend
Took an oath, I'mma stick it out 'til the end
But you can dip out anytime whenever
I can call a car I ain't tryna stress ya
I'm looking for the one with the glass slipper
Baby girl you can be my Cinderella ella ella eh eh eh
Under my umbrella ella ella eh eh eh
You can be my Cinderella ella ella eh eh eh
Under my umbrella ella ella eh eh eh eh eh eh

It's raining (rainin')
Ooh baby it's raining (rainin')
Baby come into me (oh)
Come into me
It's raining (Rihanna)
Oh baby it's raining (Rihanna)
You can always come into me
Come into me

That old dog has chained you up all right
Give you everything you need
To live inside a twisted cage
Sleep beside in empty rage
I had a dream I was your hero

Damn I wish I was your lover
I'd rock you till the daylight comes
Make sure you are smiling and warm
I am everything
Tonight I'll be your lover
I'll do such things to ease your pain
Free your mind and you won't feel ashamed
Open up gonna come inside
Gonna fill you up
Make you cry

This bloke can't stand to see you black and blue
I give you something sweet each time you
Come inside my jungle book
It's just too good
Don't say you'll stay
'Cause then you go away

Damn I wish I was your lover
I'll rock you till the daylight comes
Make sure you are smiling and warm
I am everything
Tonight I'll be your lover
I'll do such things to ease your pain
Free your mind and you won't feel ashamed
Shucks
For me there is no other
You're the only shoe that fits
I can't imagine I'll grow out of it
Damn I wish I was your lover

If I was your's girl believe me
I'd turn on the Rolling Stones
We could groove along and feel much better
Let me in
I could do it forever and ever, ever n' ever
Give me an hour to kiss you
Walk through heaven's door I'm sure
We don't need no doctor to feel much better
Let me in
Forever and ever and ever and ever

I sat on the mountainside with peace of mind
I lay by the ocean making love to you with visions clear
Walked for days with no one near
And I return as chained and bound to you

Damn I wish I was your lover
I'll rock you till the daylight comes
Make sure you are smiling and warm
I have everything
Tonight I'll be your mother
I'll do such things to ease your pain
Free your mind and you won't feel ashamed
Shucks for me there is no other
You're the only shoe that fits
I can't imagine I'll grow out of it
Damn I wish I was your lover
Open up gonna come inside
Gonna fill you up
Make you cry

Hello again...It's you and me
Kinda always like it used to be
Sippin wine .... killin time
Tryin to solve life's mysteries...
How's your life? It's been a while
God, it's good to see you smile
I see you reachin for your keys
Lookin for a reason not to leave

If you don't know if you should stay
If you don't say what's on your mind
Baby just breathe...
There's nowhere else tonight we should be...
You wanna make a memory....

I dug up this old photograph
Look at all the hair we had
It's bitter sweet to hear you laugh
Your phone was ringing. I don't wanna ask

If you go now, I'll understand
If you stay, hey, I got a plan
You wanna make a memory?
You wanna steal a piece of time?
You can sing the melody to me
And I can write a couple lines
You wanna make a memory?

If you don't know if you should stay and
You don't say what's on your mind, baby just breathe
There's nowhere else tonight we should be (we should be...we should be)
You wanna make a memory?
You wanna steal a piece of time?
You can sing the melody to me
And I can write a couple lines
You wanna make a memory?
You wanna make a memory?

SOMEONE has been listening to Bon Jovi...

Who has?!?!?1

Incompatible, it don't matter though
'cos someone's bound to hear my cry
Speak out if you do
You're not easy to find

Is it possible Mr. Loveable
Is already in my life?
Right in front of me
Or maybe you're in disguise

Who doesn't long for someone to hold
Who knows how to love you without being told
Somebody tell me why I'm on my own
If there's a soulmate for everyone

Here we are again, circles never end
How do I find the perfect fit
There's enough for everyone
But I'm still waiting in line

Who doesn't long for someone to hold
Who knows how to love you without being told
Somebody tell me why I'm on my own
If there's a soulmate for everyone

If there's a soulmate for everyone

Most relationships seem so transitory
They're all good but not the permanent one

Who doesn't long for someone to hold
Who knows how to love you without being told
Somebody tell me why I'm on my own
If there's a soulmate for everyone

Who doesn't long for someone to hold
Who knows how to love you without being told
Somebody tell me why I'm on my own
If there's a soulmate for everyone
If there's a soulmate for everyone

I donīt need you
I donīt need friendship
And I donīt need flowers in the Spring
and donīt need you
And you surely donīt need me.

I donīt need love and affection
And I donīt need peace and harmony
And I donīt need you
And you surely donīt need me.

But we both want it bad enough
Yes, we both want it, donīt we?
I donīt need you, baby
And I know you donīt need me.

I donīt need your loving arms around me
All I need is to be free
Thatīs what I keep telling myself
And I tell you: “you donīt need me”.

I donīt need children in my old age
No more cluttered leaves around the trees
And I donīt need you
We donīt need eachother baby
We donīt need eachother baby

Or do we?

Lady, I'm your knight in shining armor and I love you
You have made me what I am and I am yours
My love, there's so many ways I want to say I love you
Let me hold you in my arms forever more

You have gone and made me such a fool
I'm so lost in your love
And oh, we belong together
Won't you believe in my song?

Lady, for so many years I thought I'd never find you
You have come into my life and made me whole
Forever let me wake to see you each and every morning
Let me hear you whisper softly in my ear

In my eyes I see no one else but you
There's no other love like our love
And yes, oh yes, I'll always want you near me
I've waited for you for so long

Lady, your love's the only love I need
And beside me is where I want you to be
'Cause, my love, there's somethin' I want you to know
You're the love of my life, you're my lady!

I KNOW IT'S LATE,I KNOW YOU'RE WEARY
I KNOW YOUR PLANS DON'T INCLUDE ME
STILL HERE WE ARE, BOTH OF US LONELY
LONGING FOR SHELTER FROM ALL THAT WE SEE

WHY SHOULD WE WORRY, NO ONE WILL CARE, GIRL
LOOK AT THE STARS NOW SO FAR AWAY

WE'VE GOT TONIGHT
WHO NEEDS TOMORROW?
WE'VE GOT TONIGHT BABY
WHY DON'T YOU STAY?

DEEP IN MY SOUL, I'VE BEEN SO LONELY
ALL OF MY HOPES, FADING AWAY
I'VE LONGED FOR LOVE, LIKE EVERYONE ELSE DOES
I KNOW I'LL KEEP SEARCHING, AFTER TODAY

SO THAT THERE IT IS GIRL
WE'VE GOT IT ALL NOW
AND HERE WE ARE BABY
WHAT DO YOU SAY?

WE'VE GOT TONIGHT
WHO NEEDS TOMORROW?
WE'VE GOT TONIGHT BABY
WHY DON'T "WE" STAY?

I KNOW IT'S LATE, I KNOW YOU'RE WEARY
I KNOW YOUR PLANS DON'T INCLUDE ME
STILL HERE WE ARE, BOTH OF US LONELY
BOTH OF US LONELY

WE'VE GOT TONIGHT
WHO NEEDS TOMORROW?
LET'S MAKE IT LAST
LET'S FIND A WAY
TURN OUT THE LIGHT
OH, OH, COME TAKE MY HAND NOW

WE'VE GOT TONIGHT BABY
WHY DON'T YOU STAY?
WE'VE GOT TONIGHT BABY
WHY DON'T YOU STAY?.

Where has the starlight gone?
Dark is the day
How can I find my way home?

Home is an empty dream
Lost to the night
Father, I feel so alone

You promised you'd be there
Whenever I needed you
Whenever I call your name
You're not anywhere

I'm trying to hold on
Just waiting to hear your voice
One word, just a word will do
To end this nightmare

When will the dawning break
Oh endless night
Sleepless I dream of the day

When you were by my side
Guiding my path
Father, I can't find the way

You promised you'd be there
Whenever I needed you
Whenever I call your name
You're not anywhere

I'm trying to hold on
Just waiting to hear your voice
One word, just a word will do
To end this nightmare

I know that the night must end
And that the sun will rise
And that the sun will rise

I know that the clouds must clear
And that the sun will shine
And that the sun will shine

I know that the night must end
And that the sun will rise
And that the sun will rise
I know that the clouds must clear
And that the sun will shine
And that the sun will shine
(Repeat to end)

I know
Yes, I know
The sun will rise
Yes, I know
I know
The clouds must clear

I know that the night must end
I know that the sun will rise
And I'll hear your voice deep inside

I know that the night must end
And that the clouds must clear
The sun
The sun will rise
The sun
The sun will rise

"Endless Night" from The Lion King (on Broadway)

I've been alone with you inside my mind
And in my dreams I've kissed your lips a thousand times
I sometimes see you pass outside my door
Hello, is it me you're looking for?

I can see it in your eyes
I can see it in your smile
You're all I've ever wanted, (and) my arms are open wide
'Cause you know just what to say
And you know just what to do
And I want to tell you so much, I love you ...

I long to see the sunlight in your hair
And tell you time and time again how much I care
Sometimes I feel my heart will overflow
Hello, I've just got to let you know

'Cause I wonder where you are
And I wonder what you do
Are you somewhere feeling lonely, or is someone loving you?
Tell me how to win your heart
For I haven't got a clue
But let me start by saying, I love you ...

Hello, is it me you're looking for?
'Cause I wonder where you are
And I wonder what you do
Are you somewhere feeling lonely or is someone loving you?
Tell me how to win your heart
For I haven't got a clue
But let me start by saying ... I love you

Please baby cant you see
My minds a burnin hell
I got razors a rippin and tearin and strippin
My heart apart as well
Tonight you told me
That you ache for something new
And some other woman is lookin like something
That might be good for you

Go on and hold her till the screaming is gone
Go on believe her when she tells you
Nothings wrong
But Im the only one
Wholl walk across the fire for you
Im the only one
Wholl drown in my desire for you
Its only fear that makes you run
The demons that youre hiding from
When all your promises are gone
Im the only one

Please baby cant you see
Im trying to explain
Ive been here before and Im locking the door
And Im not going back again
Her eyes and arms and skin wont make
It go away
Youll wake up tomorrow and wrestle the sorrow
That holds you down today

Go on and hold her till the screaming is gone
Go on believe her when she tells you
Nothings wrong
But Im the only one
Wholl walk across the fire for you
Im the only one
Wholl drown in my desire for you
Its only fear that makes you run
The demons that youre hiding from
When all your promises are gone
Im the only one
