Touching Lyrics

before i start let me explain this entry. I was in a happy place in art class yesterday listening to a playlist on my iPod. It has all my favorite songs so of course it puts me in a happy place! Then i realized that there is one part in each of the songs that i absolutely love...it either touches me, the line is just poetic or something. So i decided to write them down here and show you where my heart and my mind thought process is when i listen to music. *nods*

Up in the balcony
All the Romeo's are bleeding for your hand
Blowing theater kisses
Reciting lines they don't understand
- "Original Sin" by Elton John


I never realised the passing hours of evening showers
A slip noose hanging in my darkest dreams
I'm strangled by your haunted social scene
Just a pawn out-played by a dominating queen
It's four o'clock in the morning
Damn it listen to me good
I'm sleeping with myself tonight
Saved in time, thank God my music's still alive

...You almost had your hooks in me didn't you dear
You nearly had me roped and tied
Altar-bound, hypnotized
Sweet freedom whispered in my ear...
- "Someone Saved My Life Tonight" by Elton John


I wish I had an angel
For one moment of love
I wish I had an angel...
...I`m in love with my lust
Burning angelwings to dust
I wish I had your angel tonight
- "Wish I had an Angel" by Nightwish


all this time I can't believe I couldn't see
kept in the dark but you were there in front of me
I’ve been sleeping a thousand years it seems
got to open my eyes to everything
without a thought without a voice without a soul
- "Bring Me to Life" by Evenescence


Show me how it ends it's alright
Show me how defenseless you really are
satisfied and empty inside
That's alright, let's give this another try
- "So Cold" by Breaking Benjamin


And the hot wind heats the bamboo blinds
And your almond eyes always shine
Sitting cool behind your painted fan
All the secrets of the east
Conceal the beauty and the beast
For tender is the man in her Japanese hands

Flesh on silk looks different
Than on a cotton sheet back home
Where no one wears their hair like yours
Beneath those oriental combs
And with your thirsty fingers
Running up and down my spine
You forget the western woman
When you're sleeping on Kyoto time
- "Japanese Hands" by Elton John


When I said that I don't care
It really means my engine's breaking down
The chisel chips my heart again
The granite cracks beneath my skin
I crumble into pieces on the ground
- "This Train Don't Stop Here Anymore" by Elton John


Don't let the sun go down on me
Although I search myself, it's always someone else I see
I'd just allow a fragment of your life to wander free
But losing everything is like the sun going down on me
- "Don't Let the Sun Go Down On Me" by Elton John


Maybe it’s been to long for me
Maybe I’m too far gone
I’m not looking for sympathy
But I know something’s gotta be wrong
Remind me now what it means to kneel
Get me out of the way...

You slowly break me down
You slowly turn me around
I’m learning how to live
I’m learning how to love
Now that You’re here slowly showing me how
- "Slowly" by Avalon


For every soul there is a midnight
When it’s silent in the room but loud inside
You lie awake what seems like forever
And you wrestle with the big stuff that can not be denied
All of life
Has led you to this moment

When the time comes
And the games are finally over
There’s no more pretending
All charades are done
And the time comes
When the soul is finally ready
You know the truth and
This time you don’t run...
- "When the Time Comes" by Avalon


Open up your eyes
and see these warning signs
Breaking through your heart and all the reason of your mind

Open up to find
your action leaves behind
The very hope that's given for the world to feel alive
- "Open Up your Eyes" by Jeremy Camp


Don't judge a thing until you know what's inside it
Dont' push me - I'll fight it
Never gonna give in - never gonna give it up no
If you can't catch a wave then your'e never gonna ride
You can't come uninvited
Never gonna give in - never gonna give up no
You can't take me I'm free
- "You Can't Take Me" by Brian Adams

I waited for you today
But you didn't show
No no no
I needed You today
So where did You go?
You told me to call
Said You'd be there
And though I haven't seen You
Are You still there?

I cried out with no reply
And I can't feel You by my side
So I'll hold tight to what I know...
- "Never Alone" BarlowGirl
