The Lyrics Thread-Part VI

I WHO HAVE NOTHING

I, I who have nothing…

Verse I: Ikon

Intersections in real time
The unbroken circle and dimensions of the mind
The tie that binds
The eternal tie that defines
The vanity of my insanity in due time
Will shine
Like the night seas under the moon
The haunted corners of familiar rooms
Yet i’m consumed
We’re vanishing into thin air
The realization that this shit is my cross to bare
So where
Did I think I could run away to see
The people that decided to leave without asking me
But we
Decide to wait for happier tomorrows
And find someone so they can be distractions from our sorrows
But my distractions the books of paper that i scrawl in
I’m eloquent as summer breeze and leaves that have just fallen
I’ve crawl in a corner hoping all of this will end
With the knowledge that love is just another word for revenge
I who have nothing but the comfort of my sins
I who have nothing but the comfort of my friends

Chorus:

I, I who have nothing
I, I who have no one
I, I who have nothing
I, I who have no one

Verse II: Ikon

As I decay, demons prey above me like a vulture
Ability to endure contradiciton is a high sign of culture
Verbal sculptures, self defacing
It is not God or lunacy that I am facing
But the erasing of the purity and passion of my words
The herds of cattle babble on with talk of the absurd
But I preferred
To walk away from all the feuds
To find my life is more confusing than a rubic’s cube
So i’m subdued
In all my words of verbal prods
To live alone one must be an animal or a God
But it’s official
All of my pain is clear as crystal
The natural side of life has now been seeming artificial
But I can hit you
And rest assured that i’ma last words
I could give a fuck about your secrets and your past words
I can pass words and their ability to hurt you
Patience is a virtue and knowledge is a commercial
I who have nothing but the pain that I refer to
I who have nothing but the pain that I refer to

Chorus

Verse III: Ikon

Lost among the miracles, I stand alone
And i’ve grown into a being that’s sitting on top a throne
I’ve known
For many years that I would turn to rust
I find a reason for another breath
Before my return to dust
I become one with science and mathematics and the rising of the sun
I’m numb
To all of those who blind and cannot see
The chastiser of the enemy
Perception requires duality
Inspect ya soul, the color of coal inside the body
I have hardly come across them who’s holy
Send them to the cherubim to control thee
Burning of the sun and frigidness of the cold
The battle field is new but the war is now old
You can never see the merest shadow of a halo
Above the head of evil djin who’s deadly like tornado
The world has become an aquarium
Full of gaping fish with murderous smiles
I on the other hand stand on the outside looking in
Writing down murderous files
I who have nothing but the lack of variation
And I who have nothing but chains and suffocation

Chorus

Simon and Garfunkel - I Am A Rock
Song

A winter’s day
In a deep and dark December;
I am alone,
Gazing from my window to the streets below
On a freshly fallen silent shroud of snow.
I am a rock,
I am an island.

I’ve built walls,
A fortress deep and mighty,
That none may penetrate.
I have no need of friendship; friendship causes pain.
It’s laughter and it’s loving I disdain.
I am a rock,
I am an island.

Don’t talk of love,
Well, I’ve heard the word before.
It’s sleeping in my memory.
I won’t disturb the slumber of feelings that have died.
If I never loved I never would have cried.
I am a rock,
I am an island.

I have my books
And my poetry to protect me;
I am shielded in my armor,
Hiding in my room, safe within my womb.
I touch no one and no one touches me.
I am a rock,
I am an island.

And a rock feels no pain;
And an island never cries.

Syd Barrett - Terrapin
From: The Madcap Laughs

I really love you and I mean you
the star above you, crystal blue
Well, oh baby, my hairs on end about you…

I wouldn’t see you and I love to
I fly above you, yes I do
well, oh baby, my hairs on end about you…

Floating, bumping, noses dodge a tooth
the fins a luminous
fangs all 'round the clown
is dark below the boulders hiding all
the sunlight’s good for us
'Cause we’re the fishes and all we do
the move about is all we do
well, oh baby, my hairs on end about you…

Floating, bumping, noses dodge a tooth
the fins a luminous
fangs all 'round the clown
is dark below the boulders hiding all
the sunlight’s good for us
'Cause we’re the fishes and all we do
the move about is all we do
well, oh baby, my hairs on end about you…

I really love you and I mean you
the star above you, crystal blue
Well, oh baby, my hairs on end about you…

Eddie Vedder - Society (Into The Wild Soundtrack)

It’s a mystery to me
we have a greed
with which we have agreed:

You think you have to want
more than you need
until you have it all you won’t be free

Society, you’re a crazy breed
I hope you’re not lonely without me

When you want more than you have
you think you need
and when you think more than you want
your thoughts begin to bleed

I think I need to find a bigger place
'cos when you have more than you think
you need more space

Society, you’re a crazy breed
I hope you’re not lonely without me
Society, crazy and deep
I hope you’re not lonely without me

There’s those thinking more or less less is more
but if less is more how you’re keeping score?
Means for every point you make
your level drops
kinda like it’s starting from the top
you can’t do that…

Society, you’re a crazy breed
I hope you’re not lonely without me
Society, crazy and deep
I hope you’re not lonely without me

Society, have mercy on me
I hope you’re not angry if I disagree
Society, crazy and deep
I hope you’re not lonely without me

I’ve had this playing in my mind a lot :grin:

Both Sides, Now
Joni Mitchell

[i]
Rows and flows of angel hair
And ice cream castles in the air
And feather canyons everywhere
I’ve looked at clouds * that way

But now they only block the sun
They rain and snow on everyone
So many things I would have done
But clouds got in my way
I’ve looked at clouds from both sides now

From up and down, and still somehow
It’s cloud illusions I recall
I really don’t know clouds at all

Moons and Junes and Ferris wheels
The dizzy dancing way you feel
As ev’ry fairy tale comes real
I’ve looked at love that way

But now it’s just another show
You leave 'em laughing when you go
And if you care, don’t let them know
Don’t give yourself away

I’ve looked at love from both sides now
From give and take, and still somehow
It’s love’s illusions I recall
I really don’t know love at all

Tears and fears and feeling proud
To say “I love you” right out loud
Dreams and schemes and circus crowds
I’ve looked at life that way

But now old friends are acting strange
They shake their heads, they say I’ve changed
Well something’s lost, but something’s gained
In living every day

I’ve looked at life from both sides now
From win and lose and still somehow
It’s life’s illusions I recall
I really don’t know life at all
I’ve looked at life from both sides now
From up and down, and still somehow
It’s life’s illusions I recall
I really don’t know life at all

Fleetwood Mac - Gold Dust Woman
Album: Rumours

Rock on, gold dust woman
Take your silver spoon, dig your grave

Heartless challenge
Pick your path and I’ll pray

Wake up in the morning
See your sunrise loves to go down

Lousy lovers
Pick their prey but they never cry out loud
Cry out

Well, did she make you cry, make you break down,
Shatter your illusions of love
And is it over now, do you know how
Pick up the pieces and go home

Rock on ancient queen
Follow those who pale in your shadow

Rulers make bad lovers
You better put your kingdom up for sale
Up for sale

Well, did she make you cry
Make you break down
Shatter your illusions of love
Well, is it over now, do you know how
Pick up the pieces and go home
Well, did she make you cry
Make you break down
Shatter your illusions of love
And now tell me, is it over now, do you know how
To pick up the pieces and go home
Go home, and go home

Black shadow of a woman
Black widow
Pale shadow of a dragon
Death woman
Pale shadow of a woman
Black widow
Pale shadow, she’s a dragon
Death woman, woman, woman

“Firefly” by Owl City
sorry Ysim :tongue:

You would not believe your eyes
If ten million fireflies
Lit up the world as I fell asleep
Because they’d fill the open air
And leave teardrops everywhere
You’d think me rude but I’d just stand and stare

I’d like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
It’s hard to say that I’d rather stay awake when I’m asleep
Because everything is never as it seems

Because I’d get a thousand hugs
From ten thousand lightning bugs
As they tried to teach me how to dance
A foxtrot above my head
A sockhop beneath my bed
A disco ball is just hanging by a thread

I’d like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
It’s hard to say that I’d rather stay awake when I’m asleep
Because everything is never as it seems

When I fall asleep leave my door open just a crack
(Please take me away from here)
Because i feel like such an insomniac
(Please take me away from here)
Why do I tire of counting sheep
(Please take me away from here)
When I’m far too tired to fall asleep?

To ten million fireflies
I’m weird because I hate goodbyes
I got misty eyes as they said farewell
But I’ll know where several are
If my dreams get real bizarre
Because I saved a few and I keep them in a jar

I’d like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
It’s hard to say that I’d rather stay awake when I’m asleep
Because everything is never as it seems

I’d like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
It’s hard to say that I’d rather stay awake when I’m asleep
Because everything is never as it seems

I’d like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
It’s hard to say that I’d rather stay awake when I’m asleep
Because my dreams are bursting at the seams

i like that song, i don’t care what anyone says.

…ok, i DOES sound an awful lot like Snow Patrol.

Neil Young - Sugar Mountain
Song: Here

Oh, to live on Sugar Mountain
With the barkers and the colored balloons,
You can’t be twenty on Sugar Mountain
Though you’re thinking that
you’re leaving there too soon,
You’re leaving there too soon.
It’s so noisy at the fair
But all your friends are there
And the candy floss you had
And your mother and your dad.
Oh, to live on Sugar Mountain
With the barkers and the colored balloons,
You can’t be twenty on Sugar Mountain
Though you’re thinking that
you’re leaving there too soon,
You’re leaving there too soon.
There’s a girl just down the aisle,
Oh, to turn and see her smile.
You can hear the words she wrote
As you read the hidden note.
Oh, to live on Sugar Mountain
With the barkers and the colored balloons,
You can’t be twenty on Sugar Mountain
Though you’re thinking that
you’re leaving there too soon,
You’re leaving there too soon.
Now you’re underneath the stairs
And you’re givin’ back some glares
To the people who you met
And it’s your first cigarette.
Oh, to live on Sugar Mountain
With the barkers and the colored balloons,
You can’t be twenty on Sugar Mountain
Though you’re thinking that
you’re leaving there too soon,
You’re leaving there too soon.
Now you say you’re leavin’ home
‘Cause you want to be alone.
Ain’t it funny how you feel
When you’re findin’ out it’s real?
Oh, to live on Sugar Mountain
With the barkers and the colored balloons,
You can’t be twenty on Sugar Mountain
Though you’re thinking that
you’re leaving there too soon,
You’re leaving there too soon.
Oh, to live on Sugar Mountain
with the barkers and the colored balloons,
You can’t be twenty on Sugar Mountain
Though you’re thinking that
you’re leaving there too soon,
You’re leaving there too soon.

John Lennon - Isolation

People say we got it made
Don’t they know we’re so afraid?
Isolation
We’re afraid to be alone
Everybody got to have a home
Isolation

Just a boy and a little girl
Trying to change the whole wide world
Isolation
The world is just a little town
Everybody trying to put us down
Isolation

I don’t expect you to understand
After you’ve caused so much pain
But then again, you’re not to blame
You’re just a human, a victim of the insane

We’re afraid of everyone
Afraid of the sun
Isolation
The sun will never disappear
But the world may not have many years
Isolation

John Lennon - Love

Love is real, real is love
Love is feeling, feeling love
Love is wanting to be loved

Love is touch, touch is love
Love is reaching, reaching love
Love is asking to be loved

Love is you
You and me
Love is knowing
We can be

Love is free, free is love
Love is living, living love
Love is needing to be loved

Equilibrium - Unbesiegt (Equilibrium - Undefeated)
Schwarz die Nacht, die mich umgibt, (Black the night, that encompasses me)
Die heulend an die Felsen bricht. (The howling breaks upon the rocks)
Sieh, wie ich dem Sturme trotz, (Behold, how I defy the storm)

Blutend, aber ungebeugt! (Bloodied, but unbowing!)

Viel gefochten, viel erlitten, (Much swordplay, much suffering)
Jeden Atemzug erstritten. (Fought with every single breath)
Hart umkämpft, die Feste mein, (Highly contested, this fortress of mine.)
Die Kreise meiner Macht. (The circles of my might)

Alt, so steh’n die schwarzen Zinnen, (Ancient, the black battlements stand)
Trotzen aller Zeiten Wirren. (Braving all of times turmoil)

Ich bin unbesiegt! (I am undefeated!)

Ich fürcht nicht glühend Eisen, (I fear not, glowing iron)
Noch fürcht ich Pein. (As I do not fear pain)
Ich bin mein eigen Heiland, (I am my own savior)
Werds immer sein. (I always will be)
Und wenn ich dir auch blutend zu Füßen lieg, (And when I lie bloodied at your feet)
Weißt du genau: Ich bleibe unbesiegt! (You know: I remain undefeated!)

Alles, was ich mir erstritten … (All that I have fought for…)
meine Banner, himmelhoch … (My banner, raised high in the sky…)
Auch wenn alle Mauern zittern … (Even when all my walls tremble…)
Bleib ich Herr auf meinem Thron, (I remain here on my throne.)
Ja, für immer! (Yes, forever!)

Viele sah ich nieder gehn, (I saw many fall)
Zuviele um je zu verstehen. (Too many to ever comprehend)
Doch habe ich nicht einen Tag auf diesem Pfad bereut. (Yet I do not regret a single day on this path)
Soll’n sie auf mich runtersehen, (Should you look down upon me)
Es schert mich nicht, ich bleibe stehen! (I do not care, I remain standing!)
Auch du, mein Freund, ich bin dein Zeug’, (And you my friend, I am your witness)
Sei blutend aber ungebeugt! (Be Bloodied, but unbowing!)

I find this song to be a powerfully uplifting one. I often think of it when I am feeling stressed :tongue:

I’m still just learning German, so this translation is far from perfect. :tongue:
Thanks to dict.cc and This translation which I used for guidance.
I may have taken a little license with some words, to try and better convey the meaning as I saw it, than a literal translation would have.

Bob Dylan - Queen Jane Approximately

When your mother sends back all your invitations
And your father to your sister he explains
That you’re tired of yourself and all of your creations
Won’t you come see me, Queen Jane ?
Won’t you come see me, Queen Jane ?

Now when all of the flower ladies want back what they have lent you
And the smell of their roses does not remain
And all of your children start to resent you
Won’t you come see me, Queen Jane ?
Won’t you come see me, Queen Jane ?

Now when all the clowns that you have commissioned
Have died in battle or in vain
And you’re sick of all this repetition
Won’t you come see me, Queen Jane ?
Won’t you come see me, Queen Jane ?

When all of your advisers heave their plastic
At your feet to convince you of your pain
Trying to prove that your conclusions should be more drastic
Won’t you come see me, Queen Jane ?
Won’t you come see me, Queen Jane ?

Now when all of the bandits that you turned your other cheek to
All lay down their bandanas and complain
And you want somebody you don’t have to speak to
Won’t you come see me, Queen Jane ?
Won’t you come see me, Queen Jane ?

The Rolling Stones - Loving Cup
From: Exile on Mainstreet
My favorite version

I’m the man on the mountain, come on up
I’m the plowman in the valley with a face full of mud
Yes, I’m stumbling and I know my car won’t start
Yes, I’m fumbling and I know I play a bad guitar

Give me little drink from your loving cup
Just one drink and I’ll fall down drunk
I’m the man who walks the hillside in the sweet summer sun
I’m the man that brings you roses when you ain’t got none

Yes, I can run and jump and fish, but I won’t fight
You if you want to push and pull with me all night
Give me little drink from your loving cup
Just one drink and I’ll fall down drunk

I feel so humble with you tonight,
just sitting in front of the fire
See your face shining in the flame,
feel your mouth kissing me again

What a beautiful buzz,
what a beautiful buzz
What a beautiful buzz,
what a beautiful buzz

Oh, what a beautiful buzz,
what a beautiful buzz
Yes I am nitty gritty and my shirt’s all torn
But I would love to spill the beans with you till dawn

Give me little drink from your loving cup
Just one drink and I’ll fall down drunk

Ozzy Osborne - Diary of a Madman

Screaming at the window
Watch me die another day
Hopeless situation
Endless price I have to pay

Sanity now it’s beyond me there’s no choice

Diary of a madman
Walk the line again today
Entries of confusion
Dear diary I’m here to stay

Manic depression befriends me
Hear his voice
Sanity now it’s beyond me
There’s no choice

A sickened mind and spirit
The mirror tells me lies
Could I mistake myself for someone
Who lives behind my eyes
Will he escape my soul
Or will he live in me
Is he tryin’ to get out or tryin’ to enter me

Voices in the darkness
Scream away my mental health
Can I ask a question
To help me save me from myself

Enemies fill up the pages
Are they me
Monday till Sunday in stages
Set me free

Andrew Bird - Imitosis

he’s keeping busy
yeah he’s bleeding stones
with his machinations and his palindromes
it was anything but hear the voice
that says that we’re all basically alone

poor Professor Pynchon had only good intentions
when he put his Bunsen burners all away
and turning to a playground in a Petri dish
where single cells would swing their fists
at anything that looks like easy prey
in this nature show that rages every day
it was then he heard his intuition say

we were all basically alone
and despite what all his studies had shown
that what’s mistaken for closeness
is just a case of mitosis
and why do some show no mercy
while others are painfully shy
tell me doctor can you quantify
he just wants to know the reason why

why do they congregate in groups of four
scatter like a billion spores
and let the wind just carry them away
hows can kids be so mean
our famous doctor tried to glean
as he went home at the end of the day
in this nature show that rages every day
it was then he heard his intuition say

we were all basically alone
despite what all his studies had shown
that what’s mistaken for closeness
is just a case of mitosis
sure fatal doses of malcontent through osmosis
and why do some show no mercy
while others are painfully shy
tell me doctor, can you quantify?
the reason why

If you want something to inspire you for lucid dreams, here is a great song! I’m currently using it for inspiration:

Stratovarius - Learning to Fly
Album: Elements, pt 1
Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ubKaNrfwVI&fmt=18

Life will go on
Soon it is gone
It’s bigger than we can conceive
Wink of an eye
A thousand years
Into eternity, we shed our tears

I’m changing,
Rearranging my destiny!

Learning to fly
Touching sky on my way
Learning to fly
High above my sorrows,
To a new day, I fly…

Not where you stand,
Nor where you are,
It matters only where you look
To take the good
With all that’s bad
It is the only way to go!

The minutes
The hours
The years
Run fast!

Learning to fly
Touching sky on my way
Learning to fly
High above my sorrows,
To a new day, I fly…

[Solos]

Learning to fly
Touching sky on my way
Learning to fly
High above my sorrows, I fly…

Learning to fly
Touching sky on my way
Learning to fly
High above my sorrows,
To a new day, I fly…

Stratovarius - Hunting High and Low[/b]
Album: Infinite
Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N2l8KtdQ7Ek&fmt=18

I feel the wind in my hair
And it’s whispering, telling me things
Of the storm that is gathering near
Full of power, I’m spreading my wings

Now I’m leaving my worries behind!
Feel the freedom of body and mind!
I have started my journey, I’m drifting away with the wind…
I go…

I am Hunting High and Low,
Diving from the sky above, looking for,
More and more,
Once again
I’m Hunting High and Low,
Sometimes I may win, sometimes I’ll lose,
It’s just a game that I play!

After the storm, there’s a calm
Through the clouds shines a ray of the sun
I am carried from all of my harm
There is no one that I can’t outrun!

Now I’m leaving my worries behind!
Feel the freedom of body and mind!
I have started my journey, I’m drifting away with the wind…
I go…

I am Hunting High and Low,
Diving from the sky above, looking for,
More and more,
Once again
I’m Hunting High and Low,
Sometimes I may win, sometimes I’ll lose,
It’s just a game that I play!

[Bridge]

I am Hunting High and Low,
Diving from the sky above, looking for,
More and more,
Once again
I’m Hunting High and Low,
Sometimes I may win, sometimes I’ll lose,
It’s just a game that I play!

Hunting High and Low,
Diving from the sky above, looking for,
More and more,
Once again
Hunting High and Low,
Sometimes I may win, sometimes I’ll lose,
It’s just a game that I play!

Hunting High and Low…
Ohhhhh…
Hunting High and Low…
Ohhhhh…
Hunting High and Low…

Susumu Hirasawa - The Girl In Byakkoya

(Japanese first, english translation after :smile: )

[i]Tooku no sora mawaru hana no enjin no kamabisusisa ni
Ano hi ya ano hi ni koetekita bunki ga me wo samasu
Kagerou ni mi wo karite michi wo sasu musume wo oi
Takadai ni arawareta na mo shiranu hirono ha natsukashiku

In the distant sky, twirling flowers form a clamorous circle.
And it wakes up the turnig point you passed through on that day, on that day.
In a form of a shimmer, you chase the girl who points the way.
Then you find a nameless and nostalgic field on a hill.

Are ga yume de miseta machi to kage no koe ga sasayaita
Kuru hi mo kuru hi mo ikusen no bunki wo koeta toki
Kuragari no kennjin ga suterareta hibi wo atsume
Umi zoi ni umi zoi ni mimo shiranu honou wo odoraseta

“That is the city I let you see in your dream”, whispered a shadow.
Day after day , day after day, when you have passed through countless turning points,
a sage in the dimness will collect discarded days.
Along the shore, along the shore, he makes an unknown flame dance.

Aa manntoru ga jozetsu ni hi wo hukiagete
Suterareta no ni tatsu hito wo iwau yo
Aa sizukana sizukana musume no shiya de
Aa mishiranu miyako ni hi ga tomori dasu

Ah mantle loquaciously throws up a flame
to congratulate the person who stands on the abandoned field.
Ah in the girl’s silent, silent view,
Ah lights begin to shine in the unseen city.

Takaku sora syu ni some hi no moeru gotoku no kumo moyou
Ano hi ya ano hi ya ano toki ni nakusita michi wo mise
Kurikaesi yume ni fuku kaze wo oi toki wo kudari
Kawa zoi ni kawa zoi ni mimo shiranu shihuku no hana wo mita

High up in the sky, dyed in vermillion, clouds arise like a fire burning.
It shows you the way you lost on that day, on that day.
Chasing the wind blowing repeatedly in your dream, you go down the flow of time.
Along the river, along the river, you saw an unknown flower of felicity.[/i]

Stratovarius - A Million Light Years Away
Album: Infinite
Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bBRYILfhpqk&fmt=18

I don’t know what to do
I don’t know who you are
I’m calling from the silence
We have gone to far

I try to understand you
Your life has been so cruel
Please try to see it my way
I’ve got something to say

All those years were not in vain
Even though there was much pain
I try to learn from my mistakes
I want to make it up to you

A Million Light Years Away from you
I am
A Million Light Years Away from you

I hope that you’d respect my
Honesty and faith
And maybe you’d forgive me
If I could make you see

I want to say I’m sorry
For what I did to you
I’ll get on with my life
I hope you do that too

All those years were not in vain
Even though there was much pain
I try to learn from my mistakes
I want to make it up to you

A Million Light Years Away from you
I am
A Million Light Years Away from you

[Solo]

A Million Light Years Away from you
I am
A Million Light Years Away from you
I am

[i]A Million Light Years Away from you
I am
A Million Light Years Away from you
I am…

Stratovarius - No Turning Back[/b]
Album: Destiny
Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rlbAq5cJeA0&fmt=18

So long I have been
Accepting what I’ve seen
Never really speaking my mind
Now the heat’s leaking out
I’d like to scream and shout
I want to leave it all behind

There’s no one else to turn the wheel
I’ve got my own life to steer

No turning back
Coz I wanna know who I am and I want to live my life
No turning back
Tomorrow’s awaiting, I’m on the way

Hard to find the right words
And not to make it worse
A choice that has to be done
It is just my life
Can’t make no compromise
And to stop what has begun

There’s no one else to turn the wheel
I’ve got my own life to steer

No turning back
Coz I wanna know who I am and I want to live my life
No turning back
Tomorrow’s awaiting, I’m on the way

I have all the strings in my hands
The choices that’s been laid for me
I am not taking more commands
Coz now finally I’m free

[Solos]

No turning back
Coz I wanna know who I am and I want to live my life
No turning back
Tomorrow’s awaiting, I’m on the way

Since you were born, pushed into corner
And left all alone
Told what to do, obey all the rules
Be just like everyone else, those fools
Day at the school, teacher’s a bully
You’re mobbed as a rule
Nothing from TV
Your folks are away
You are trapped inside this house, you must stay
Home

Now it’s time for you to move on
Leave the shadows of your past
[i]Don’t let them haunt you forever!

Hold on to your dream
Somewhere there’s a beam of hope
Which is guiding your way through the dark
This is your chance
Your love, your romance
Hold on to your dream and never give up in your life…
Hold On to Your Dream!!![/i]

[i]Hold on to your dream
Somewhere there’s a beam of hope
Which is guiding your way through the dark
This is your chance
Your love, your romance
Hold on to your dream and never give up…

Hold on to your dream
Somewhere there’s a beam of hope
Which is guiding your way through the dark
This is your chance
Your love, your romance
Hold on to your dream and never give up…

Hold on to your dream
Somewhere there’s a beam of hope
Which is guiding your way through the dark
This is your chance
Your love, your romance
Hold on to your dream and never give up…[/i]

ONCE
ONE TIME
I WAS AMAZED
NATURAL DELAY
AND YOUR WIDE VOICE
GOT OUT OF PHASE
I COULDN’T EXPLAIN

WHY
WOULD SOME
ECHO OUT RACE
A STATEMENT AS VAGUE AS
“ONCE
ONE TIME
I WAS AMAZED
I WAS AMAZED”

Space Travel - Yellowcard

I heard a voice last night
It said wake up and open your eyes
Wake up, walk out tonight
Cause she don’t care if you’re dead or alive

She moves like beams of light
Straight through this universe in my head
Where I get peace of mind
I’m free from the stupid things that I said
She’s all in my head

Did I get lost while I was gone?
I traveled space for much too long
But there’s a planet that I have found
And you are far away

Somewhere behind her eyes
Some supernatural energy takes me for quite the ride
Across time where I defy gravity
All this energy

Did I get lost while I was gone?
I traveled space for much too long
But there’s a planet I have found
And you are far away for now

What do we do now
We wait
For what
For her to come back
I don’t think she’s coming back
So
I’m sick of waiting

Did I get lost while I was gone?
I traveled space for much too…

Did I get lost while I was gone?
I traveled space for much too long
But there’s a planet I have found
And you are far away (far away)
You are far away
You are far away for now
