Song lyrics apropos to early recovery Just reading and was thinking about early recovery and the challenges of making it through a day and thought of the chorus of Chaka Khan's Through the Fire. Through the fire, to the limit Through the fire, through whatever Through the fire, to the limit Through the fire, through whatever Just seemed appropriate. And I'm a big fan. :) What other lyrics ring true to you? |
Love this thread already! :) My personal favourite, John Mayer - Vultures "Some of us, We're hardly ever here The rest of us, we're born to disappear How do I stop myself from Being just a number How will I hold my head To keep from going under Down to the wire I wanted water but But I'll walk through the fire If this is what it takes To take me even higher Then I'll come through Like I do When the world keeps Testing me, testing me,testing me How did they find me here What do they want from me All of these vultures hiding Right outside my door I hear them whisperin They're tryin to ride it out Cause they've never gone this long Without a kill before Down to the wire I wanted water but I'll walk through the fire If this is what it takes To take me even higher Then I'll come through Like I do When the world keeps Testing me, testing me, testing me Wheels up I got to leave this evening Can't seem to shake these vultures Off of my trail Power is made, by power being taken So I keep on running To protect my situation Down to the wire I wanted water but I'll walk through the fire If this is what it takes To take me even higher Then I'll come through Like I do When the world keeps Testing me, testing me Oooooooooooo Oooooooooooo Oooooooooooo Oooooooooooo Whatcha gonna do about it Whatcha gonna do about it" |
Little monsters by of men and mice And That one home song, about ill live you til you can love yourself. Don't fear the demons..... Sorry I can't think with other music in the background |
Staind - it's been a while "And it's been awhile Since I could hold my head up high And it's been awhile Since I first saw you And it's been awhile Since I could stand on my own two feet again And it's been awhile Since I could call you And everything I can't remember As f*cked up as it all may seem The consequences that I've rendered I've stretched myself beyond my means And it's been awhile Since I can say that I wasn't addicted And it's been awhile Since I can say I love myself as well And it's been awhile Since I've gone and ****** things up just like I always do And it's been awhile But all that sh*t seems to disappear when I'm with you And everything I can't remember As f*cked up as it all may seem The consequences that I've rendered I've gone and ****** things up again Why must I feel this way? Just make this go away Just one more peaceful day! And it's been awhile Since I could look at myself straight And it's been awhile Since I said I'm sorry And it's been awhile Since I've seen the way the candles light your face And it's been awhile But I can still remember just the way you taste And everything I can't remember As ****** up as it all may seem to be I know it's me I cannot blame this on my father He did the best he could for me And it's been awhile Since I could hold my head up high And it's been awhile Since I said I'm sorry" |
Nickelback- How you remind me. Especially: "Been to the bottom of every bottle These five words in my head Scream: Are we having fun yet" |
I find this to be an amazingly uplifting song. Better Things by Ray Davies Here's wishing you the bluest sky, And hoping something better comes tomorrow. Hoping all the verses rhyme, And the very best of choruses to Follow all the doubt and sadness. I know that better things are on the way. Here's hoping all the days ahead Won't be as bitter as the ones behind you. Be an optimist instead, And somehow happiness will find you. Forget what happened yesterday, I know that better things are on the way. It's really good to see you rocking out And having fun, Living like you just begun. Accept your life and what it brings. I hope tomorrow you'll find better things. I know tomorrow you'll find better things. Here's wishing you the bluest sky, And hoping something better comes tomorrow. Hoping all the verses rhyme, And the very best of choruses to Follow all the doubt and sadness. I know that better things are on the way. I know you've got a lot of good things happening up ahead. The past is gone it's all been said. So here's to what the future brings, I know tomorrow you'll find better things. I know tomorrow you'll find better things. |
Matisyahu - from King without a crown If you're trying to stay high, then you're bound to stay low You want God but you can't deflate your ego If you're already there, then there's nowhere to go If you're cup's already full, then it's bound to overflow Matisyahu - King Without A Crown - YouTube |
On my phone, sorry for the poor formatting "Neon Cathedral" (feat. Allen Stone) Aha Uhm 1-2 [Verse 1: Macklemore] Round here they sing broken hymns Their prayers flow better when they're soaked in gin The amp's dusty and sits in the corner By a bartender that'll pickpocket your heart And a jukebox that'll steal your quarter Bartender, please give me a confession Exchange fear for courage in the form of a well drink There's a heavy current, got a long way to swim Closed the Bible a while ago, I need some shots for this sin Hail Mary, come with me, feel like Pac when it hits Got some fire in my belly and a riot in the gut Bushmills for a band-aid, the sweet taste of blood Then I might actually feel something if I don't cover it up Watch their faces, familiar places Even if they haven't left the vinyl booth that they stayed in The motel next door, a sign that reads vacant And a truth that's so strong I'd be a fool not to chase it But yet, I'm a fool and I stay here Hope these problems drown themselves, I die in wait here One more, four more, **** it a night cap Service starts at 5 tomorrow and I'll be right back [Hook: AllenStone] Underneath this fragile frame Lives a battle between pride and shame But I've misplaced that sense of fright This crown of thorns is perched atop my spine But listen closely as I testify Dependency has been a thief at night Thief at night, thief at night [Verse 2: Macklemore] I read the Bible, but I forgot the verses The liquor store is open later than the church is Pured by their imperfections, everything that's burning To Hell with the confessions, all the "Lord Have Mercy's" Blessed in holy water, listen, oh Holy Father Have you ever smelled flesh that sweats out Monarch vodka? 11 AM in the morning and you can't get it off ya Callin' to the preacher but it's like the pastor isn't talking Until the store opens I can re-up on that doctrine The people close to me say that I'm in need of a doctor Think that I got a problem but these are not apostles This is the drink of the Lord, that's according to my gospel Open to interpretation, if you're judgin' I don't want it I got sins that scold like my throat when I hit the bottle And I'm sinking and that's why I keep on drinking I need a refill, far more than once every weekend Sweet Jesus, I'm getting amnesia Shaking til I get a taste, my faith is having seizures Every time I walk away and try to leave it Every time I walk away and try to leave it [Bridge: Macklemore] Wouldn't miss it for the world Baptized in my vices and the bar is my church Traded my artist and I pawned off the easel Spend it all searching for God at the Neon Cathedral [Bridge: Macklemore] Wouldn't miss it for the world Baptized my vices and the bar is my church Traded my artist and I pawned off the easel Spend it all searching for God, Neon Cathedral Neon Cathedral [Hook: AllenStone] Underneath this fragile frame Lives a battle between pride and shame But I've misplaced that sense of fight This crown of thorns is perched atop my spine But listen closely as I testify Dependency has been a thief at night Thief at night, thief at night Dependency has been a thief at night Thief at night, thief at night Dependency has been a thief at night Thief at night, thief at night |
It's easy to forget, When you choke on the regrets, Who the hell did I think I was? |
Supertramp "When you think that your life's become a catastrophe, oh it has to be, for you to grow..." More Supertramp I know that there's a reason why I need to be alone You show me there's a silent place that I can call my own Is it mine, Oh! Lord is it mine? You know I get so weary from the battles in this life And as many times it seems that you're the only hope in sight Is it mine, Oh! Lord is it mine? When everything's dark and nothing seems right, There's nothing to win, and there's no need to fight I never cease to wonder at the cruelty of this land But it seems a time of sadness is a time to understand Is it mine, Oh! Lord is it mine? When everything's dark and nothing seems right, You don't have to win, and there's no need to fight If only I could find a way To feel your sweetness through the day The love that shines around me could be mine. So give us an answer, won't you, We know what we have to do, There must be a thousand voices trying to get through. |
