Lyrics for Your Mood Thread

Post lyrics that describe your current mood here. You can either post the whole song or just a line or two that resonates with you at the moment.
 
Note I say “lyric” but you don’t necessarily have to limit yourself to song lyrics. You literary types can quote poetry if you want. After all, lyric poetry is a thing and when you’re just looking at the words you’re basically reading poetry anyway.
 
Allow me to kick things off with this excerpt from The Who’s “Behind Blue Eyes”:
 
If I smile tell me some bad news  
Before I laugh and act like a fool

Today I don’t feel like doing anything  
I just want to lay in my bed

The color of the sky as far as I can see is coal grey.  
Lift my head from the pillow and then fall again.  
With a shiver in my bones just thinking about the weather.  
A quiver in my lips as if I might cry.  
Well by the force of will my lungs are filled and so I breathe.  
Lately it seems this big bed is where I never leave.  
Shiver in my bones just thinking about the weather.  
Quiver in my voice as I cry,  
What a cold and rainy day. Where on earth is the sun hid away?

I HATE EVERYTHING ABOUT YOU!

Listen, everyone  
The time will come when all of us say goodbye  
Feel that aching in your heart  
Leaving you broken inside  
But we’re never really gone  
As long as there’s a memory in you mind
 
So now go do the best things in life  
Take a bite of this world while you can  
Make the most of the rest of your life  
Make a ride of this world while you can
 
Take the ones you love  
And hold them close because there is little time  
And don’t let it break your heart  
I know it feels hopeless sometimes  
But they’re never really gone  
As long as there’s a memory in you mind
 
So now go do the best things in life  
Take a bite of this world while you can  
Make the most of the rest of your life  
Make a ride of this world while you can
 
And hold on to memories  
Hold on to every moment  
To keep them alive  
The world’s greatest tragedy  
Souls who are not remembered  
Cannot survive
 
So now go do the best things in life  
Bring the fight to this world while you can  
Make the most of the rest of your life  
Shine your light on this world while you can
 
And hold on to memories  
Hold on to every moment  
To keep them alive  
The world’s greatest tragedy  
Souls who are not remembered  
Cannot survive
 
And hold on to memories (Hold on)  
Hold on to every moment  
To keep them alive (Keep them alive)  
The world’s greatest tragedy (Hold on)  
Souls who are not remembered  
Cannot survive

I’m so tired, I’m so tired, I’m so tired

To get anywhere these days it seems a problem’s a necessity  
Your father’s gay, heroin’s passé, just another fashion accessory  
I tried recovered memory, but that put me in a bind  
‘Cause I became hypnotically aware my dad was really kind  
You might have once been traumatised, but we’re not all similarly blessed  
I’m sure that I’d be happier if I could be more depressed

Only so many songs can be sung  
With two lips, two lungs, and one tongue

I had to burn it down to build it up again  
I had to pick up the pieces to put them back again  
Cheers to the future and cheers to the past  
I think I found my purpose here at last

It was acceptable in the 80’s!  
It was acceptable at the tiiiiiime!

Scale armour blaze  
Virgin innocence  
One being brings life  
Another runs for death

Finished with my woman ‘cause she couldn’t help me with my mind  
People think I’m insane because I am frowning all the time  
All day long I think of things but nothing seems to satisfy  
Think I’ll lose my mind if I don’t find something to pacify
 
Can you help me occupy my brain?  
Oh yeah
 
I need someone to show me the things in life that I can’t find  
I can’t see the things that make true happiness, I must be blind
 
Make a joke and I will sigh and you will laugh and I will cry  
Happiness I cannot feel and love to me is so unreal  
And so as you hear these words telling you now of my state  
I tell you to enjoy life I wish I could but it’s too late

Could we pause it for a sec  
And put it into retrospect,  
Everything that happened was for the best  
I had my good intent,  
But the dreams turned into dreamt  
Where I was content  
Turned into resent
 
There was a point where I was convinced that suffering made it better  
I’ve never been more wrong  
When I hit rock bottom, it’s difficult to remember  
Why I had to write this song
 
(these are the lyrics to Would You Rather by Crusher)

You’re insecure, don’t know what for

 

 

 

 

 

 

You got a lotta nerve  
To say you are my friend  
When I was down you just stood there grinning  
You got a lotta nerve  
To say you got a helping hand to lend  
You just want to be on the side that’s winning
 
You say I let you down  
You know it’s not like that  
If you’re so hurt why then don’t you show it  
You say you lost your faith  
But that’s not where it’s at  
You had no faith to lose and you know it
 
I know the reason  
That you talk behind my back  
I used to be among the crowd you’re in with  
Do you take me for such a fool  
To think I’d make contact  
With the one who tries to hide what he don’t know to begin with
 
You see me on the street  
You always act surprised  
You say, “How are you? Good luck”  
But you don’t mean it  
When you know as well as me  
You’d rather see me paralyzed  
Why don’t you just come out once and scream it
 
No, I do not feel that good  
When I see the heartbreaks you embrace  
If I was a master thief perhaps I’d rob them  
And now I know you’re dissatisfied  
With your position and your place  
Don’t you understand it’s not my problem
 
I wish that for just one time  
You could stand inside my shoes  
And just for that one moment I could be you  
Yes I wish that for just one time  
You could stand inside my shoes  
You’d know what a drag it is to see you
