Trapped in your mind, the swirling thoughts of dreams and woes surround your every aspiration and whim.
It consumes your attention, and plagues your thoughts, leaving you stranded... alone.
Only the subtle glow from the radio and it's lucid tones, hold you on the edge of reality.
It is here we laugh and cry, relate and hate all at the drop of a solitary note.
Someone seems to relate to us and hears our pleas.

Save us all...
We are trapped with music in our minds.

Vindicated
by Dashboard Confessional

Hope dangles on a string
Like slow spinning redemption
Winding in and winding out
The shine of which has caught my eye

And roped me in
So mesmerizing, so hypnotizing
I am captivated

I am Vindicated
I am selfish
I am wrong
I am right
I swear I'm right
I swear I knew it all along

And I am flawed
But I am cleaning up so well
I am seeing in me now the things you swore you saw yourself

So clear
Like the diamond in your ring
Cut to mirror your intentions
Oversized and overwhelmed
The shine of which has caught my eye
And rendered me so isoloated, so motivated
I am certain now that

I am Vindicated
I am selfish
I am wrong
I am right
I swear I'm right
I swear I knew it all along

And I am flawed
But I am cleaning up so well
I am seeing in me now the things you swore you saw yourself

So turn
Up the corners of your lips
Part them and feel my finger tips
Trace the moment, fall forever
Defense is paper thin
Just one touch and I'd be in
Too deep now to ever swim against the current
So let me slip away [3x]
So let me slip against the current and let me slip away

I am Vindicated
I am selfish
I am wrong
I am right
I swear I'm right
I swear I knew it all along

And I am flawed
But I am cleaning up so well
I am seeing in me now the things you swore you saw yourself

Slight hope
It dangles on a string
Like slow spinning redemption...



I love Dashboard Confessional. Their songs are eloquently lyrical.

And I am flawed
But I am cleaning up so well
I am seeing in me now the things you swore you saw yourself


There is something about these lyrics that stick out in my mind when I hear the song. The song makes me feel perturbed at things yet at the same time, hopeful of what may be if things change. I have hope. I would just love resolution at this point. This song definitely gives me hope of the future.

On Love, In Sadness Lyrics
by Jason Mraz & Jenny Keene

Sing about that oh love it's a bit of madness, I sing about it in all my sadness
Not falsified to say that I found God so
Inevitably well it still exists.
Pale and fine I can't dismiss
And I won't resist and if I die well, at least I tried

And we just lay awake in lust and rust in the rain
And pour over everything we say we trust
Well It happened again, I listened in through hallways and thin doors
Where the rivers unwind, rust and the rain endure.
The rust and the rain so thin
Well I'm in like Flint again
(I'm in)

So go on place your order now cause some other time is right around the clock
You can stand in line well it finally begins oh just around the block
You can have your pick if your stomach is sick whether you eat or not
And there is just one thing that I almost forgot

Oh, see, you and me, we lay awake in lust and rust in the rain
And pour over everything we say we trust
Well it happened again, I listened in through hallways and thin doors
Where the rivers unwind, the rivers unwind so easy
Oh, these are the comforts that be

You see, well, I'm feeling lucky oh well, maybe that's just me
Well you'd be proud of me oh well, if you could only see
How we're gonna grow on up to be,
Ah yes we are thick as thieves

Sing about that oh love it's a brittle madness, I sing about it in all my sadness
It's not falsified to say that I found god so
Inevitably, well it still exists so pale and fine I can't dismiss
And I won't resist and if I die well at least I tried

And we just lay awake in lust and rust in the rain
And pour over everything we say we trust
Well it happened again, I listened in through hallways and thin doors
Where the rivers unwind and the rust and the rain endure

The rust and the rain endure, I'm sure.

Because I'm insofar to know the measure of love ain't lost, love will never, ever be-
Insofar to know, the measure of love ain't lost, love will never, ever be-
Insofar to know, the measure of love ain't lost, love will never, ever be lost on me

Oh not tonight, said love will never ever be lost on me.

(Love will...) never ever be lost on me

(Love) will not be

Love will never be lost on me

Love...will...not...be...lost..on...me.



I have loved this poem and the fact that Jason Mraz set the whole thing to music just makes me all good inside. There is one word in the song that I love which is really odd, but the word "Inevitably" just rolls of his tongue so eloquently. It's a great song and I suggest everyone who looks at this page to listen to it just once.

BOO HOO
by Marianne Pillsbury

When I stay in bed all day,
they call it depression.
When two people stay in bed all day,
it's called passion.
So, when my girlfriend sheds a tear
cause she doesn't think her boyfriend's intentions are sincere...
well, I say, boo hoo!
Somebody loves me. Boo hoo!
Somebody needs me. Boo hoo!
I'm having sex on a regular basis.
Woe is me!

When I drink a bottle of wine for dinner,
it's pathetic.
When two people drink a bottle of wine,
it's romantic.
So, when my girlfriend'll bitch and moan
cause she thinks her boyfriend only likes her for her dog...
well, I say, boo hoo!
Somebody loves me. Boo hoo!
Somebody needs me. Boo hoo!
I'm having sex on a regular basis.
Woe is me!

When I talk out loud to myself,
I'm a crazy bag lady.
When two people talk out loud,
it's called dating.
So, when my girlfriend starts to whine
cause today her boyfriend only called her eleven times...
well, I say, boo hoo!
Somebody loves me. Boo hoo!
Somebody needs me. Boo hoo!
I'm having sex on a regular basis.

But, if I ever fall in love again
and there's nothing wrong,
will I lose my sense of humor
and write sappy love songs?
Boo hoo!
Boo hoo!
Boo hoo!
I'm having sex on a regular basis.
Woe is me!
I've got a boyfriend.
Woe is me!
I'm having sex.
Woe is me!
He sends me flowers.
Woe is me!
He's good in bed.
Woe is me!



This was another song from my list I have acquired from LaunchCast.com It was cheeky and sort of "in your face" so I decided to get the lyrics and keep it on file if I wanted to list it here. I do so like it! It's like in grade school when someone would go "Na na boo boo" when they never had a good enough witty comeback to what you were saying, doing or have. You've really got to hear it to see what I mean.

Happy Ending
by Avril Lavigne

so much for my happy ending
Let's talk this over
It's not like we're dead
Was it something I did?
Was it something you said?

Don't leave me hangin'
In a city so dead
Held up so high
On such a breakable thread
You were all the things I thought I knew
And I thought we could be

You were everything, everything
that I wanted
We were meant to be, supposed to be
But we lost it
All of our memories so close to me
Just fade away
All this time you were pretending
So much for my happy ending
So much for my happy ending

You've got your dumb friends
I know what they say
They tell you I'm difficult
But so are they
But they don't know me
Do they even know you?
All the things you hide from me
All the shit that you do

You were all the things I thought I knew
And I thought we could be

You were everything, everything
that I wanted
We were meant to be, supposed to be
But we lost it
All of our memories so close to me
Just fade away
All this time you were pretending
So much for my happy ending

It's nice to know that you were there
Thanks for acting like you care
And making me feel like I was the only one
It's nice to know we had it all
Thanks for watching as I fall
And letting me know we were done

He was everything, everything
that I wanted
We were meant to be, supposed to be
But we lost it
All of the memories so close to me
Just fade away
All this time you were pretending
So much for my happy ending

You were everything, everything
that I wanted
We were meant to be, supposed to be
But we lost it
All of our memories so close to me
Just fade away
All this time you were presenting
So much for my happy ending
So much for my happy ending
So much for my happy ending
You were everything, everything
that I wanted
We were meant to be, supposed to be
But we lost it
All of our memories so close to me
Just fade away
All this time you were presenting
So much for my happy ending
So much for my happy ending
So much for my happy ending



Avril, Avril, Avril.... You know, a person should never go into mainstream music unless they can deal with being an icon... an idol... Telling her fans that they shouldn't dress like her is insane, and so is thinking that the general public will listen to her act all bratty. I think that's what all these Avril wannabe's want to emulate anyway: Bratty, dark and suffering and be damned if they can't pout and let the whole world see it.

The song, well, either she writes well, or the person who wrote it hit the nail on the head. I like this song. Nothing is ever easy and don't let the sappy songs ever tell you otherwise. Even if Avril is a little piss-ant about it, she's got a following. And with good reason, her music's not bad either.

New Deep
by John Mayer

I'm so alive
I'm so enlightened
I can barely survive
A night in my mind
I've got a plan
I'm gonna find out just how boring I am
And have a good time

Cause ever since I tried
Trying not to find
Every little meaning in my life
It's been fine
I've been cool
With my new golden rule

Numb is the new deep
Done with the old me
And talk is the same cheap it's been

Is there a God?
Why is he waiting?
Don't you think of it odd
When he knows my address?
And look at the stars
Don't they remind you of just how feeble we are?
Well it used to, I guess

Cause ever since I tried
Trying not to find
Every little meaning in my life
It's been fine
I've been cool
With my new golden rule

Numb is the new deep
Done with the old me
And talk is the same cheap
It's been

I'm a new man
I wear a new cologne and
You wouldn't know me if your eyes were closed
I know what you'll say
'This won't last longer than the rest of the day'
But you're wrong this time
You're wrong

Numb is the new deep
Done with the old me
I'm over the analyzing
Tonight

Stop trying to figure it out
(you try to figure, you try to figure it out)
It will only bring you down
You know, I used to be the back
porch poet with my book of rhymes
Always open knowing all the time I'm probably
Never gonna find the perfect rhyme
For 'heavier things'



See... I told you I like John Mayer. *grins* Songs like this are incredibly thought bearing. I absolutely love songs that make you want to rethink your views on things. (This song directly related to a post I made this last week too about philosophy and my views in general) If you haven't heard it, go to John Mayer's homepage and listen to it. I'm not one for patriotic songs or church songs (which neither describes John Mayer's music)... but when something makes me think about how we act and how we look at life, I focus closer on it.
