Maybe we’re all different but we’re still the same.
We all got the blood of Eden running through our veins.
I know sometimes it’s hard for you to see -
you’re caught between just who you are, and who you wanna be.
If you feel alone and lost and need a friend,
remember every new beginning is some beginning’s end.
Welcome to wherever you are.
This is your life; you made it this far.
Welcome, you got to believe,
that right here, right now,
you’re exactly where you’re supposed to be. [...]
Everyone’s a miracle in their own way.
Just listen to yourself, not what other people say.
When it seems you’re lost, alone and feelin‘ down,
remember, everybody’s different; just take a look around. [...]
When you wanna give up, and your heart's about to break,
remember that you’re perfect; God makes no mistakes.
- Bon Jovi, "Welcome to wherever you are" -
I never gave an honest answer,
but I need a lot of angry organs. [...]
Sometimes quick sand has a massive appeal to me. [...]
I always knew I had the answer,
but I never understood the question -
indoor living; lacerated to the bone. [...]
I like to tell you that I'm ready
for whatever's coming;
but to be honest there's a part of me
that loses control.
- Motion City Soundtrack, "A lifeless ordinary
(Need a little help)" -
The silicon chip inside her head gets switched to overload.
And nobody's gonna go to school today, she's gonna make them stay at home. [...]
The telex machine is kept so clean and it types to a waiting world.
And mother feels so shocked; father's world is rocked;
and their thoughts turn to their own little girl.
Sweet sixteen ain't that peachy keen, no it ain't so neat to admit defeat.
They can see no reasons, 'cause there are no reasons,
what reasons do you need? [...]
And school's out early and soon we'll be learning
and the lesson today is how to die.
And then the bullhorn crackles and the captain tackles,
with the problems and the hows and whys.
And he can see no reasons, 'cause there are no reasons,
what reason do you need to die? [...]
Tell me why?
I don't like Mondays,
I wanna shoot the whole day down.
- Boomtown Rats, "I don't like Mondays" -
A handful of moments
I wished I could change,
and a tongue like a nightmare,
that cut like a blade. [...]
I'm flesh and bone,
I'm a rolling stone,
and the experts say I'm delirious.
Give me therapy -
I'm a walking travesty,
but I'm smiling at everthing.
Therapy, you were never a friend to me;
you can take back your misery.
Arrogant boy,
love yourself so no one has to.[...]
You're lucky if your memory remains.
- All Time Low, "Therapy" -
Nobody knows what she's holding back.[...]
She hides the bruises with the linen and lace.
The teacher wonders but she doesn't ask.
It's hard to see the pain behind the mask.
Bearing the burden of a secret storm.
Sometimes she wishes she was never born.
Through the wind and the rain
she stands hard as a stone
in a world that she can't rise above.
But her dreams give her wings
and she flies to a place where she's loved -
concrete angel.
Somebody cries in the middle of the night.
The neighbors hear but they turn out the lights.
A fragile soul caught in the hands of fate.
When morning comes it will be too late.[...]
A broken heart that the world forgot.
- Martina McBride, "Concrete Angel" -
Through suffering, acceptance, grief, and strife.
There’s no way that your puzzle piece
fits into our puzzle wrong,
‘cause everyone is welcome
on this stage that we call life.[...]
So bring me all the worst
of your broken, bruised insane.
Because that’s the thing with music:
When it hits, you feel no pain.
No matter what you did,
I promise we forgave it.
When all that’s left is your voice,
you’ve got no choice but to raise it.
All you broken hearts, all you dejected dreams,
just let yourself be free,
because even broken wings can fly away.
In time you'll find this life's a painting
and you're the artist.
Just open your eyes.
It's never too late to clear your canvas.
So paint me jealous, paint me rage,
for God sakes, paint me anything,
just paint. Your brush awaits.[...]
One secret meant to keep you safe tonight,
I swear that everything will be alright.
- Paradise Fears, "Sanctuary [with speech]" -
You must have been in a place so dark,
you couldn't feel the light reachin' for you
through that stormy cloud.[...]
Oh, why? That's what I keep askin'.
Was there anything I could have said or done?
Oh, I had no clue you were masking a troubled soul,
God only knows what went wrong and why
you would leave the stage in the middle of a song.[...]
The tangled thoughts I hear, a mockingbird sings.
This old world really ain't that bad a place.
Oh, why? There's no comprehending.
And who am I to try to judge or explain?
Oh, but I do have one burning question:
Who told you life wasn't worth the fight?
They were wrong, they lied,
and now you're gone, and we cry.
'Cause it's not like you
to walk away in the middle of a song.
Your beautiful song.
Your absolutely beautiful song.
- Rascal Flatts, "Why" -
Sometimes I wonder,
why we care so much about the way we look?
And the way we talk? And the way we act?
And the clothes we bought? How much that cost?
But does it even really matter?
Cause if life is an uphill battle,
we all tryin' to climb with the same old ladder,
in the same boat with the same old paddle.
Why so shallow? I'm just asking.
What's the pattern to the madness?[...]
I wish I was strong enough
to lift not one but both of us.
Someday I will be strong enough
to lift not one but both of us.
I can feel your pain,
and I could be your anchor.
And I try so hard to be strong enough for you,
but the world gets heavy when you're lifting for two.
I swore it'd be alright, I still promise it is,
and I just kept talking until people started listening.
But the problem with that is people started believing,
now everybody needs an answer, everybody wants their reason.
Now there's hundreds of stories, and thousands of letters,
and I wanna tell 'em all that's it's gonna get better.
- Paradise Fears, "Both of us" -
I can not find a way to describe it.
It's there, inside, all I do is hide.
I wish that it would just go away.
What would you do? You do, if you knew...
What would you do?
All the pain I thought I knew,
all these thoughts lead back to you.
Back to what was never said,
back and forth inside my head.
I can't handle this confusion, I'm unable.
Come and take me away.
I feel like I, I'm alone.
All by myself, I need to get around this.
My words are cold, I don't want them to hurt you.
If I show you, I don't think you'd understand,
'cause no one understsands.
- Avril Lavigne, "Take me away" -
Do you ever feel like breaking down?
Do you ever feel out of place?
Like somehow you just don't belong,
and no one understands you.
Do you ever want to run away?
Do you lock yourself in your room?
With the radio on turned up so loud,
that no one hears you screaming.
No you don't know what it's like,
when nothing feels alright.
You don't know what it's like to be like me...
To be hurt, to feel lost,
to be left out in the dark,
to be kicked when you're down,
to feel like you've been pushed around.
To be on the edge of breaking down
and no one's there to save you.
No you don't know what it's like -
Welcome to my life.[...]
Are you stuck inside a world you hate?
Are you sick of everyone around?
With their big fake smiles and stupid lies,
while deep inside you're bleeding.[...]
No one ever lied straight to your face,
and no one ever stabbed you in the back.
You might think I'm happy,
but I'm not gonna be ok.
Everybody always gave you what you wanted,
you never had to work, it was always there.
You don't know what it's like, what it's like...
- Simple Plan, "Welcome to my life" -
I was sick of all the pain,
tired of all the shame that I felt,
but you showed me a way
to never have a doubt,
and always to believe in myself.
- 12 Stones, "It was you" -
Now here we are, and I'm suddenly standing
at the beginning with you.
No one told me, I was going to find you.
Unexpected what you did to my heart.
When I lost hope, you were there to remind me -
this is the start.[...]
Now here we stand, unafraid of the future
at the beginning with you.[...]
I knew there was somebody somewhere
like me alone in the dark.[...]
Nothing's gonna tear us apart.
And life is a road and I wanna keep going,
love is a river, I wanna keep flowing,
life is a road, now and forever -
wonderful journey.
I'll be there when the world stops turning,
I'll be there when the storm is through.
In the end I wanna be standing
at the beginning with you.
- Richard Marx & Donna Lewis, "At the beginning" -
I'm never gonna be good enough for you.
Can't pretend that I'm all right.
And you can't change me.
'Cuz we lost it all, nothing lasts forever.
I'm sorry I can't be perfect.
Now it's just too late, and we can't go back.
I'm sorry I can't be perfect.
I try not to think about the pain I feel inside.[...]
I can't stand another fight, and nothing's alright.[...]
Nothing's gonna change the things that you said,
and nothing's gonna make this right again.
Please don't turn your back, I can't believe
it's hard just to talk to you, but you don't understand.
- Simple Plan, "Perfect" -
Suppressed by all my childish fears.[...]
These wounds won't seem to heal,
this pain is just too real,
there's just too much that time cannot erase.
When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears.
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears.
And I held your hand through all of these years,
but you still have all of me.[...]
Your voice, it chased away all the sanity in me.[...]
I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone,
but though you're still with me I've been alone all along.
- Evanescence, "My Immortal" -
Memories consume, like opening the wound,
I'm picking me apart again.
You all assume I'm safe here in my room,
unless I try to start again.[...]
'Cause inside I realize that I'm the one confused.
I don't know what's worth fighting for,
or why I have to scream.[...]
I don't know how I got this way, I know it's not alright.[...]
I hurt much more than anytime before.
I had no options left again.[...]
I don't know how I got this way, I'll never be alright.[...]
I'll paint it on the walls, 'cause I'm the one at fault.
I'll never fight again, and this is how it ends...
- Linkin Park, "Breaking the Habit" -
Discomfort endlessly has pulled itself upon me.
Distracting, reacting.
Against my will I stand beside my own reflection.
It`s haunting how I can't seem to find myself again.
My walls are closing in.[...]
I've felt this way before, so insecure.
Crawling in my skin - these wounds, they will not heal.
Fear is how I fall. Confusing what is real.
- Linkin Park, "Crawling" -
No one knows what it's like to be the bad man,
to be the sad man, behind blue eyes.
And no one knows what it's like to be hated,
to be faded, to telling only lies.
But my dreams, they aren't as empty
as my conscience seems to be.
I have hours only lonely,
my love is vengeance, that's never free.
No one knows what it's like to feel these feelings
like I do, and I blame you.
And no one bites back as hard on their anger,
none of my pain woe can show through.[...]
No one knows what it's like to be mistreated,
to be defeated, behind blue eyes.
And no one knows how to say that they're sorry,
and don't worry, I'm not telling lies.
- Limp Bizkit, "Behind blue eyes" -
My life still smells like a piece of shit.
I'm feelin' bad but don't ask me how,
and I don't know what to do right now.[...]
I want right up but they push me down.
I never felt like that before.
How could I loose the control?
Now I'm sittin' here alone and try to figure out.
What the fuck how can it be,
I gotta stop wasting energy which I need to get
all the things that I want for me.[...]
Now I'm finally out of this god damn shit,
and I don't waste time 'cause it's time to hit.[...]
I never felt like that before.
Everything is under control.
I never be no more alone 'cause I got my folks around.
What the fuck how can it be,
I got so much burnin' energy which I use to get
all the things that I want for me.[...]
And I never thought that I can get everything in my life.
Trust me no wish can't be denied.
So hurry up, you just gotta try.
- Dark Dust, "Try it" -
I woke with this fear:
What am I leaving when I'm done here?[...]
When my time comes, forget the wrong that I've done,
help me leave behind some reasons to be missed.
And don't resent me, and when you're feeling empty,
keep me in your memory, leave out all the rest.[...]
Don't be afraid, I've taken my beating,
I've shared what I made.
I'm strong on the surface, not all the way through.
I've never been perfect...
- Linkin Park, "Leave out all the rest" -
I walk a lonely road, the only one
that I have ever known.
Don't know where it goes,
but it's home to me and I walk alone.[...]
My shadow's the only one that walks beside me.
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating.
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me.
Till then I walk alone.
I'm walking down the line -
that divides me somewhere in my mind.
On the border line of the edge and where I walk alone.
Read between the lines, what's fucked up
and everything's all right.
Check my vital signs to know I'm still alive.[...]
- Green Day, "Boulevard of broken dreams" -
You have so many relations in this life,
only one or two will last.
You go through all the pain and strife,
then you turn your back and they're gone so fast.
So hold on the ones who really care -
in the end they'll be the only ones there.
And when you get old and start losing your hair,
can you tell me who will still care?[...]
Plant a seed, plant a flower, plant a rose -
you can plant any one of those.
Keep planting to find out which one grows -
It's a secret no one knows...
- Hanson, "MMMBOP" -
