Some lyrics just totally work.

Some lyrics just totally work.

I don't want any handprint on my heart...

what's left of it...

(I'm a misanthrope... because of humans and how awful most of them are)

There are some folks in my life who most definitely left their handprints on my heart.

But I think I accidentally spilled ink on the handprint or something.. Time heals all handprints... LOL

[nomadic5]

Actually, time heals MOST (handprints as you call them)

and God heals what time does not



you agree?

I didn’t include the full lyrics which I think makes that line a bit unclear. My bad.

Let me correct that:

****

It well may be,
That we will never meet again,
In this lifetime.
So let me say before we part,
So much of me,
Is made of what I learned from you.
You'll be with me,
Like a handprint on my heart.
And now whatever way our stories end,
I know you have rewritten mine,
By being my friend. ****

Let me correct that:

that sounds awesome.

But me? Well... I used to get all mushy (lacking a better word here) about certain people but then I found out they were assholes underneath all ... under all the stuff I thought was nifty or whatever..

I forgive them because I have to.. Jesus said to. LOL

I also forgive them because I am also human and have flaws and annoying personality "defects"

That said, there is one thing I have never done: intentionally harmed another human being (unless it was accidentally or whatever). So I guess I have no patience for those who.. can't say the same. I mean, some people, you just KNOW they know what they are doing when they treat you poorly some way or another.. so to hell with them (so to say). . (not literal Hell, but whatever)

[nomadic5]

I am the eye in the sky, looking at you. I can read your mind
I am the maker of rules, dealing with fools. I can cheat you blind

I always thought that song was about God..

 

[nomadic5]

• What a friend we have in Jesus,
  All our sins and griefs to bear!
  What a privilege to carry
  Everything to God in prayer!
  Oh, what peace we often forfeit,
  Oh, what needless pain we bear,
  All because we do not carry
  Everything to God in prayer!
• Have we trials and tribulations?
  Is there trouble anywhere?
  We should never be discouraged—
  Take it to the Lord in prayer.
  Can we find a friend so faithful,
  Who will all our sorrows share?
  Jesus knows our every weakness;
  Take it to the Lord in prayer.
• Are we weak and heavy-laden,
  Cumbered with a load of care?
  Precious Savior, still our refuge—
  Take it to the Lord in prayer.
  Do thy friends despise, forsake thee?
  Take it to the Lord in prayer!
  In His arms He’ll take and shield thee,
  Thou wilt find a solace there.

 

[Desperado]

"Fools," said I, "You do not know
Silence like a cancer grows
Hear my words that I might teach you
Take my arms that I might reach you"
But my words, like silent raindrops, fell
And echoed in the wells of silence

so what is that song about?

 

[petro]

Time by Pink Floyd.

we need a few lines of lyrics.. sounds vaguely familiar

"just another brick in the wall..." I like that one..

We could use a few million bricks in the wall Trump started...

Here it is


Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
Fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your hometown
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way
Tired of lying in the sunshine, staying home to watch the rain
You are young and life is long, and there is time to kill today
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun
And you run, and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking
Racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in a relative way but you're older
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death
Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time
Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way
The time is gone, the song is over, thought I'd something more to say
Home, home again
I like to be here when I can
And when I come home cold and tired
It's good to warm my bones beside the fire
Far away across the field
The tolling of the iron bell
Calls the faithful to their knees
To hear the softly spoken magic spells

 

[Desperado]

so what is that song about?

Sound of Silence and it is open for interpretation

I know the song but ... figured that last thing

thanks... neverknew all the words

just don'treally get those last ones...

[Resnic]

Probably the final cut by pink Floyd. The last line or two ties the song together and gives it's title meaning. Especially with the music it's sad in a cathartic way and the lyrics always stuck with me.

Through the fish-eyed lens of tear stained eyes
I can barely define the shape of this moment in time
And far from flying high in clear blue skies
I'm spiraling down to the hole in the ground where I hide
If you negotiate the minefield in the drive
And beat the dogs and cheat the cold electronic eyes
And if you make it past the shotguns in the hall
Dial the combination, open the priesthole
And if I'm in I'll tell you (what's behind the wall)
(Yahoo!)
There's a kid who had a big hallucination
Making love to girls in magazines
He wonders if you're sleeping with your new found faith
Could anybody love him
Or is it just a crazy dream?
And if I show you my dark side
Will you still hold me tonight?
And if I open my heart to you
And show you my weak side
What would you do?
Would you sell your story to Rolling Stone?
Would you take the children away
And leave me alone?
And smile in reassurance
As you whisper down the phone?
Would you send me packing?
Or would you take me home?
Thought I oughta bare my naked feelings
Thought I oughta tear the curtain down
I held the blade in trembling hands
Prepared to make it but...
Just then the phone rang
I never had the nerve to make the final cut


10,000 days has some amazing lyrics as well.
