Untouchable Face
by
Ani DiFranco
Think I'm going for a walk now
I feel a little unsteady
I don't want no one to follow me
except maybe you
I could make you happy, you know
if you weren't already
I could do a lot of things
and I do Tell you the truth I prefer the worst of you
too bad you had to have a better half
she's not really my type
but I think you two are forever
and I hate to say it, but you're perfect together
So fuck you
and your untouchable face
fuck you
for existing in the first place
and who am I
that I should be vying for your touch
who am I
bet you can't even tell me that much
2:30 in the morning
my gas tank will be empty soon
neon sign on the horizon
rubbing elbows with the moon
safe haven of the sleepless
where the deep fryer's always on
radio is counting down top 20 country songs
Out on the porch the fly strip is
waving like a flag in the wind
you know I really don't look forward
to seeing you again
You look like a photograph of yourself
taken from far far away
and I won't know what to do
and I won't know what to say
Except fuck you...
I see you when I'm so perplexed
what was I thinking
what will I think of next
where can I hide
in the back room there's a lamp
that hangs over the pool table
and the fan that's on it swings
gently side to side
there's a changing constellation
of balls as we are playing
I see orion and say nothing
the only thing I can think of saying is
Fuck you...

A couple years back I got interested in the poetry and music of Ani DiFranco... What an insightful artist. Blunt, truthful and straight to the point about things. Not a whole lot of sappy love songs or wishing on what may be... instead she's telling you what has happened and EXACTLY how she feels on it. I wish more people could be allowed to open up this way. Instead, we are made to bottle such feelings and not live our lives... we are made to hinder ourselves and be cautious that the person beside us may not "apprieciate" how you feel.
I like Ani DiFranco. She speaks her mind in a world where we are shunned for doing so.

I Don't Know You Anymore
by
Savage Garden
I would like to visit you for a while
Get away and out of this city
Maybe I shouldn't have called but
Someone had to be the first to break
We can go sit on your back porch
Relax
Talk about anything
It don't matter
I'll be courageous if you can pretend
That you've forgiven me
Because I don't know you anymore
I don't recognise this place
The picture frames have changed
And so has your name
We don't talk much anymore
We keep running from the pain
But what I wouldn't give to see your face again
Springtime in the city
Always such a relief from winter freeze
The snow was more lonely than cold if you know what I mean
Everyone's got an agenda
Don't stop, keep that chin up you'll be alright
Can you believe what a year it's been
Are you still the same?
Has your opinion changed?
Because I don't know you anymore
I don't recognise this place
The picture frames have changed
And so has your name
We don't talk much anymore
We keep running from these sentences
But what I wouldn't give to see your face again
I know I let you down
Again and again
I know I never really treated you right
I've paid the price
I'm still paying for it every day
So maybe I shouldn't have called
Was it too soon to tell?
Oh what the hell
It doesn't really matter
How do you redefine something that never really had a name?
Has your opinion changed?
Because I don't know you anymore
I don't recognise this place
The picture frames have changed
And so has your name
We don't talk much anymore
We keep running from the pain
But what I wouldn't give to see your face again
I see your face
I see your face

I haven't listened to Savage Garden for something like 5 years now. But listening to LauchCastPlus one day, I heard this song and was curious all over again. I did like them so much during the 90's. This song just hits so many things that have been going on in my mind. I feel like they understand what I am feeling sometimes, with these lyrics. It's a great song. You should definitely hear it at least once.

Headstrong
by
Trapt
Circling your, circling your, circling your head,
Contemplating everything you ever said
Now I see the truth, I got doubt
A different motive in your eyes and now I'm out
See you later
I see your fantasy, You want to make it a reality paved in gold
See inside, Inside of our heads (yeah)
Well now that's over
I see your motives inside, decisions to hide
Back off I'll take you on
Headstrong to take on anyone
I know that you are wrong
Headstrong we're Headstrong
Back off I'll take you on
Headstrong to take on anyone
I know that you are wrong and this is not where you belong
I can't give everything away
I won't give everything away
Conclusions manifest, your first impressions got to be your very best
I see you're full of shit, and that's alright
That's how you play, I guess you'll get through every night
Well now that's over
I see your fantasy, you want to make it a reality paved in gold
See inside, inside of our heads (yeah) Well now that's over
I see your motives inside, decisions to hide
Back off I'll take you on
Headstrong to take on anyone
I know that you are wrong
Headstrong we're Headstrong
Back off I'll take you on
Headstrong to take on anyone
I know that you are wrong and this is not where you belong
I can't give everything away
I won't give everything away
I know, I know all about
I know, I know all about
I know, I know all about
I know, I know all about your motives inside, and your decision to hide

You ever have one of those days that just makes you want to scream? This song just makes me want to scream. I feel much like I feel when hearing "Vindicated" by Dashboard Confessional. But Trapt's song is more angry than "Vindicated". Sometimes it's just the act of screaming that helps, not what or who you are wanting to scream about. Sometimes those feelings you have when you are most angry are not exactly how you feel anyway.

Message in a Bottle
by
John Mayer
Just cast away and I am lost at sea
Another lonely day and no one here but me
More loneliness than any man could bear
Rescue me before I fall into despair
I send an s.o.s. to the world
I send an s.o.s. to the world
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my
Message in a bottle
Message in a bottle
A year has passed since I wrote my note
I should have known it right from the start
Only hope can keep us together
Love can mend your life but love can break your heart
I send an s.o.s. to the world
I send an s.o.s. to the world
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my
Message in a bottle
Message in a bottle
Walked out this morning I don't believe what I saw
A hundred billion bottles washed up on the shore
Seems I'm not alone at being alone
A hundred billion castaways all looking for a home
I send an s.o.s. to the world
I send an s.o.s. to the world
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my
Message in a bottle
Message in a bottle
Sending out an s.o.s.

ACK! Ok, I know, I know... It's ANOTHER John Mayer song... But I LOVE HIS MUSIC!!! How can you read these lyrics and not see good poetry within the lines?
Just cast away and I am lost at sea
Another lonely day and no one here but me
More loneliness than any man could bear
Rescue me before I fall into despair
See what I mean? I know it's a sad and depressed line set. But if you listen further, you can see he's not letting himself stay depressed and angry at the loneliness without doing anything about it. He sends a message out to the world asking for help with being alone. And he sees in the end, that he's really not alone in the world, there are many just like him and can relate. I love hope in songs.
