You push me I fall
You pull me I drown

Is also a great way of suming up my situation a.t.m.

Nothing unusual, nothing strange
Close to nothing at all
The same old scenario, the same old rain
And there's no explosions here

"what i am to you is not real (...) what i am to you is not what you mean to me."

(in my mind, he "says" that to me.)

If I can pick one that describes who I am, it would probably be this, from "Older Chests":
we all seem to need the help
Of someone else
To mend that shelf
Too many books
Read me your favourite line

I can break it myself. I can fill my life with everything that gets me through a night: Drugs, alcohol, girls, boys, counting sheep, watching digital digits change, news, politics, weapons, war, crying, smokes, books even. Whatever. So for one night I escape from what got me to want to escape to begin with. The crack begins, it's still small.
And then another night, and another, and yet again. The crack grows. The weight of whatever it was I escaped with is too large to carry.
But I never seem to be able to fix it myself. It's not that I need someone else. I know what's the best thing that I got from it all. I know my favourite line. I just don't seem to have the motivation.
That's what it means for me.

I think we need a seperate thread for un-world defining lyrics from Damo... such as;

Much respect
Don't disrespect
He's got the power

the lyric that sums me up is

"I'm a dandy little dreamer ..." from childish
(Hence my username )

I have to cheat and list three:

"You gave me three cigarettes to smoke my tears away"
-Cheers Darlin'


"You think you know my world, wake up young girl"
-Sand


"And I'm always hanging on,
And I'm always closing doors,
And I'm always saying no,
No,
When I really really want it all"
-Bottom Shelf

Do you come
Together ever with him?
And is he dark enough?
Enough to see your light?
And do you brush your teeth before you kiss?
Do you miss my smell?
And is he bold enough to take you on?
Do you feel like you belong?
And does he drive you wild?
Or just mildly free?
What about me?

''Don't ask me what I think of you, 'cause I spill my mind''

''A broken me, am I breaking you?''

A broken voice
In a broken door
A broken choice
That I broke some more
A broken me
Am I breaking you?
And if i push you too hard
I push you right through


That's me at the mo'

Can't believe no one's mentioned this one - it defines the enlightened, ambivelent man.

Loving is good if it's not understood
Yeah, but I'm the professor
And feel that I should know
What makes her come and what makes her stay?
What makes the animal run, run away and
What makes him tick apart from his prick
And the lonelier side of the jealousy stick
I don't know, I don't know, I don't know
No I don't know, I don't know, I don't know
No I don't know, I don't know, I don't know
Hell I don't know you any more
No, no, no no...

First of all, this is my favorite thread I've ever seen on here. Thank you, everyone, for starting it and for participating.

There are too many.... so I, too, need to cheat...

Right now these came to mind:

"Why'd you sing with me at all?"

"I've submerged
And I've surfaced with the blame
I guess I'm no good
I guess I'm insane"

"But I’ve still got me to be your open door,
I’ve still got me to be your sandy shore
I’ve still got me to cross your bridge in this storm
And I’ve still got me to keep you warm"

or how about....

"How I know
Go bow end send mend bend pretend
Shut your face again
Bleed seed need read breath on my knees
How I choose to breath
Lie cry learn grow slow fall stall
How I build my wall
Hate wait bait kiss or taste the place
And make weather in my face

The only one that you know
I wanna live, wanna die, wanna grow old with you
I wanna be the only one that you know
'Cause I adore you
I do yeah"



...I'm having kind of a heavy night. Thanks for listening!

"So go on
Just lie down
Curl up in a ball
Say I'm the one that makes you fall
Roll away
Like you never belonged to yesterday
f*ck off
And take your bags and go home
Leave my door, don't come here anymore
no, no, no...."

"And I'd like it to be ......something
If you'll just be real with me
If you'll just be real with me
And I'll just be real with you
And I'll just be real with you
And I'll, I'll......"

This addition to eskimo is just toooooo goood. i loooove it! it's a bit big buuut ya

*awaits someone to tell him it's run not roll... (i'm fairly sure it's roll :P)

"Well I wouldn't want you to want to be wanted by me.
I wouldn't want you to worry you'd be drowned within my sea.
I only wanted to be wonderful, and wonderful is true.
In truth, I only really wanted to be wanted by you." - The Rat Within The Grain

Ah, same here. Sums things up perfectly for me at the moment.
