In honor of Veterans day it only seemed appropriate for The Inscriber Magazine to come out with playlist no.5 for powerful lyrics.
No.200: Shinedown – Simple Man
This one is a cover song and it is better than the original.
“And get your lust from the rich man’s gold. All that you need now is in your soul. And you can do this, oh baby, if you try. All that I want for you, my son, is to be satisfied. And be a simple kind of man. Be something you love and understand. Baby be a simple kind of man. Won’t you do this for me son, if you can, if you can. “
No.201: Simple Plan – Perfect
“I try not to think. About the pain I feel inside. Did you know you used to be my hero? All the days you spent with me. Now seem so far away. And it feels like you don’t care anymore. And now I try hard to make it. I just wanna make you proud.”
No.202: X Ambassadors – Unsteady
“Mother, I know. That you’re tired of being alone. Dad, I know you’re trying. To fight when you feel like, flying. But If you love me, don’t let go (hold). Whoa, if you love me, don’t let go (hold). Hold, hold on, hold onto me. ‘Cause I’m a little unsteady.”
No.203: Lukas Graham – 7 Years
“I’m still learnin’ about life, my woman brought children for me. So I can sing them all my songs, and I can tell them stories. Most of my boys are with me, some are still out seeking glory. And some I had to leave behind, my brother, I’m still sorry.”
No.204: Avil Lavigne – When You’re Gone
“When you’re gone. The pieces of my heart are missin’ you. And when you’re gone, the face I came to know is missin’ too. And when you’re gone, the words I need to hear. To always get me through the day. And make it okay. I miss you.”
No.205: Nothing More – Fade In/Fade Out
“Go and find your way. Leave me in your wake. Always push through the pain, and don’t run away from change. Never settle. Make your Mark. Hold your head up. Follow your heart.”
No.206: Shinedown – How Did You Love
“Nothing ever feels the quite same when you are what you dreamed. And you will never look at anything the same when you see what I see. How we forget ourselves, lose our way from the cradle to the grave. You can’t replicate or duplicate, gotta find your own way. No one gets out alive, every day is do or die. The one thing you leave behind. Is how did you love, how did you love?”
No.207: REO Speedwagon – Keep On Loving You
“When I said that I loved you I meant that I loved you forever. And I’m gonna keep on lovin’ you. ‘Cause it’s the only thing I want to do. I don’t want to sleep, I just want to keep on lovin’ you.”
No.208: Lonestar – Amazed
“The smell of your skin. The taste of your kiss. The way you whisper in the dark. Your hair all around me. Baby you surround me. You touch every place in my heart. Oh it feels like the first time every time. I wanna spend the whole night in your arms.”
No.209: Rascal Flatts – Bless The Broken Road
Every long lost dream led me to where you are. Others who broke my heart, they were like Northern stars. Pointing me on my way into your loving arms. This much I know is true. That God blessed the broken road. That led me straight to you.”
No.210: Three Days Grace – Never Too Late
“No one will ever see this side reflected. And if there’s something wrong, who would have guessed it? And I have left alone everything that I own. To make you feel like it’s not too late, it’s never too late. Even if I say, ‘It’ll be all right.’ Still I hear you say, you want to end your life. Now and again we try to just stay alive. Maybe we’ll turn it all around, ’cause it’s not too late, it’s never too late.”
No.211: Shinedown – If You Only Knew
“I don’t regret any days I spent. Nights we shared. Or letters that I sent. It’s 4:03 and I can’t sleep. Without you next to me. I toss and turn like the sea. If I drown tonight, bring me back to life. Breathe your breath in me. The only thing that I still believe in is you.”
No.212: Red – Pieces
“I’ve come undone. But you make sense of who I am. Like puzzle pieces in your eye. Then I’ll see your face
I know I’m finally yours. I find everything I thought I lost before. You call my name. I come to you in pieces. So you can make me whole!”
No.213: Smash Into Pieces – Let Me Be Your Superhero
“Let me be your superhero, your dynamite. Let me be the one to hold you to do you right. We’re living in a world with madness in the shadows. I’m here to keep you safe, protect you from the dark. Uh-uh, sometimes, I feel like a monster. Uh-uh-uh-uh, but I know what’s best for you.”
No.214: No Resolve Featuring Ashley Garza – Dancing With Your Ghost
“Can anyone hear me? Let me through. I can see your face. Calling your name. Reaching out, I can’t feel anything. Forever and after, I’m always yours. I’ve been dancing with your ghost. Some might say that we have stole the show. All the memories that are haunting me. I refuse to let you go. I’ve been dancing with your ghost.”
No.215: Shinedown – What a Shame
“God forgive the hands that laid you down. They never knew how much a broken heart can break the sound. And change the seasons. Now the leaves are fallin’ faster. Happily ever after. You gave me hope through your endeavors. And now you will live forever. What a shame, what a shame. To judge a life that you can’t change.”
No.216: Smile Empty Soul – This Is War
“I go to church and tithe. I go to work in a suit and tie. But this is war, I’m really not sure why. But the TV says that you are wrong. Now here we are. My feet hurt from the sand. But still I march on gun in hand. Cause this is war.”
No.217: Samantha Banks – On My Own
“I love him. But every day I’m learning. All my life. I’ve only been pretending. Without me, his world will go on turning. A world that’s full of happiness. That I have never known. I love him. I love him. I love him. But only on my own.”
No.218: The Beatles – Let It Be
“And when the broken hearted people living in the world agree. There will be an answer, let it be. For though they may be parted, there is still a chance that they will see. There will be an answer, let it be.”
No.219: Marilyn Manson – Coma White
“A pill to make you numb. A pill to make you dumb. A pill to make you anybody else. But all the drugs in this world. Won’t save her from herself. Her mouth was an empty cut. And she was waiting to fall. Just bleeding like a Polaroid. That lost all her dolls. You were from a perfect world. A world that threw me away today, today, today. To run away.”
No.220: Motionless In White – Masterpiece
“Outlined in guilt, my portrait stares. In a gallery where the walls lie bare. As I modernize my antique ways. True colors can’t escape the brush of fate. So how do I apologize, and put the tears back in your eyes, on every canvas that I paint, is a masterpiece made of my mistakes? Illustrate all my pain. And set it all ablaze. Burn. And set it all ablaze.”
No.221: Pop Evil – Monster You Made
“Erase this monster I’ve become. Forgive me for all the damage done. It’s not over. Say it’s not over
I’m begging for mercy. I’m only the monster you made me. I’m better alone now. See I’m torn from my mistakes. And I stop believing that I could ever make things change. How much can I take? When I know that it hurts you. How long can I wait? When I cant go on like this anymore.”
No.222: Sixx:A.M. – Life Is Beautiful (Piano Version)
“I know some things that you don’t. I’ve done things that you won’t. There’s nothing like a trail of blood to find your way back home. I was waiting for my hearse. What came next was so much worse. It took a funeral to make me feel alive. Just open your eyes. Just open your eyes. And see that life is beautiful.”
No.223: Staind – Tangled Up In You
“You’re the fire. That warms me when I’m cold. You’re the hand. I have to hold as I grow old. You’re the shore. When I am lost at sea. You’re the only thing. That I like about me. And in this world. Where nothing else is true. Here I am. Still tangled up in you.”
No.224: Godsmack – Under Your Scars
“Wish you were here. Right beside me. So I could watch you sleep. Hold your body closer, breathe you deep. And everything feels broken. When you’re not next to me. Would you still be you, If we weren’t we?”
No.225: Red – Darkest Part
“So afraid to be alone. I tried to let you go. Still I find you lost inside the darkest part of me. It’s my descent, a familiar pain. Of watching all I believed fade away. Of traitors and fools. Of beggars and thieves. Which mask will you choose? What is underneath?”
No.226: David Cook – Light On
“Sometimes it feels like we’ve run out of luck. When the signal keeps on breakin’ up. When the wires cross in my brain. You’ll start my heart again, when I come along. Yeah. Try to leave a light on when I’m gone. Something I rely on to get home. One I can feel at night, a naked light. A fire to keep me warm.”
No.227: Kelly Clarkson – Because Of You
“I lose my way. And it’s not too long before you point it out. I cannot cry. Because I know that’s weakness. In your eyes. I’m forced to fake a smile, a laugh. Every day of my life. My heart can’t possibly break. When it wasn’t even whole to start with. Because of you. I never stray too far from the sidewalk. Because of you.
I learned to play on the safe side, so I don’t get hurt.”
No.228: Ryan Star – Losing Your Memory
“Where have you gone? The beach is so cold in winter here. And where have I gone? I wake in Montauk with you near. Remember the day. ‘Cause this is what dreams should always be. I just want to stay. I just want to keep this dream in me. You’re losing your memory now.”
No.229: Mike + The Mechanics – The Living Years
“So, we open up a quarrel between the present and the past. We only sacrifice the future, it’s the bitterness that lasts. So, don’t yield to the fortunes you sometimes see as fate. It may have a new perspective on a different day. And if you don’t give up, and don’t give in, you may just be okay. Say it loud, say it clear. You can listen as well as you hear. It’s too late when we die. To admit we don’t see eye to eye.”
No.230: I Prevail – There’s Fear In Letting Go
“I can’t be everything you need. The path is yours to take or leave. Until you lose it all. There’s fear in letting go. So write your name into cement. Count the blessings that you’re sent. Feel that beating in your chest. Nothing’s permanent.”
No.231: Blue October – Not Broken Anymore
“I’ve seen the empty deep. I damned up the water flow. You’re the touchstone, my complete. You’re the ship that kept me afloat. Can you tell me that you’re real so I can really know, that everything I feel, I can finally show? Standing next to me, oh, the person I can be. Is finally here and he won’t back down at all.”
No.232: Pop Evil – Torn To Pieces
“I’m torn to pieces, I’m broken down. I still see your face when you’re not around. I sit here in misery wondering if I’ll ever be. Half the man you wanted me to be. It’s tearing me to pieces. Tearing me to pieces. It’s tearing me to pieces. Tearing me to pieces.”
No.233: Lauren Daigle – You Say
“Am I more than just the sum of every high and every low? Remind me once again just who I am because I need to know. Ooh-oh. You say I am loved when I can’t feel a thing. You say I am strong when I think I am weak. And you say I am held when I am falling short. And when I don’t belong, oh you say I am yours.”
No.234: Christina Perri – Human
“But I’m only human. And I bleed when I fall down. I’m only human. And I crash and I break down. Your words in my head, knives in my heart. You build me up and then I fall apart. ‘Cause I’m only human. I can turn it on. Be a good machine. I can hold the weight of worlds. If that’s what you need. Be your everything. I can do it.”
No.235: Katy Perry – Rise
“‘Cause when, when the fire’s at my feet again. And the vultures all start circling. They’re whispering, you’re out of time. But still, I rise. This is no mistake, no accident. When you think the final nail is in, think again. Don’t be surprised, I will still rise.”
No.236: Rachel Platten – Fight Song
“Losing friends and I’m chasing sleep. Everybody’s worried ’bout me. In too deep, say I’m in too deep (I’m in too deep). And it’s been two years, I miss my home. But there’s a fire burning in my bones. Still believe, yeah, I still believe. And all those things I didn’t say. Wrecking balls inside my brain. I will scream ’em loud tonight. Can you hear my voice this time? This is my fight song (hey). Take back my life song (hey). Prove I’m alright song (hey, ha). My power’s turned on (hey). Starting right now, I’ll be strong (hey).”
No.237: Miley Cyrus – The Climb
“The struggles I’m facing. The chances I’m taking. Sometimes might knock me down, but no, I’m not breaking. I may not know it. But these are the moments, that I’m gonna remember most, yeah just gotta keep going. And I, I gotta be strong. Just keep pushing on, ’cause there’s always gonna be another mountain. I’m always gonna wanna make it move. Always gonna be an uphill battle. Sometimes I’m gonna have to lose. Ain’t about how fast I get there. Ain’t about what’s waiting on the other side. It’s the climb.”
No.238: Faith Hill – There You’ll Be
“Well, you showed me how it feels. To feel the sky within my reach. And I always will remember all the strength you gave to me. Your love made me make it through. Oh, I owe so much to you. You were right there for me. In my dreams, I’ll always see you soar above the sky. In my heart, there’ll always be a place for you for all my life. I’ll keep a part of you with me. And everywhere I am, there you’ll be.”
No.239: Citizen Soldier featuring Lo Spirit – Limit
“So if you’re sick in ways that no one understands. Hope you know you’re not alone. If we walk through hell, we might as well hold hands. We should make this a home. Where do you run when you’re at your limit? (Where do you run? Where do you run?) Tell me, who can you trust to be the one to witness? (When you) you come undone. ‘Cause I don’t feel like someone I can love. So close to choosing death over the feeling of not being enough. I wish I could heal and say it’s done (don’t wanna run). But I don’t know how I’m gonna fight when I’m at my limit, limit.”
No.240: Linkin Park – Lost
“I’m lost in these memories. Living behind my own illusion. Lost all my dignity. Living inside my own confusion. But I’m tired, I will always be afraid. Of the damage I’ve received. Broken promises they made. And how blindly I believed (this is all I know). I will never break away (can’t break free). ‘Cause when I’m alone. I’m lost in these memories. Living behind my own illusion. Lost all my dignity. Living inside my own confusion.”
No.241: Papa Roach – Carry Me
“The hardest ones to love. Are the ones that need it most. Why don’t you carry me? Why don’t you carry me? I cant move on. I cant live on. Carry me. Why don’t you carry me? I can’t save me. I am crazy.”
No.242: LeAnn Rimes – Amazing Grace
“I once was lost, but now I’m found. I was blind, but now I see.”
No.243: Citizen Soldier – Hand Me Down
“Some days I’d rather be anyone but who I am. Just an afterthought that no one cares to understand. Wish I could see it in myself. Why I’m impossible to love. Why I’m not enough. So many nights I lie awake, wondering why nobody stays. I’m just a hand me down.”
No.244: Beartooth – Might Love Myself
“Trade my hope for pain. Still hate who I became. How long am I gonna be young and lost? Might never feel right. Never be clear. But nothing’ll change until I face my fear. Done paying the price without knowing the cost. Could it happen to me? Could it happen to me?”
No.245: The Calling – Wherever You Go
“To watch you, to guide you through the darkest of your days. If a great wave shall fall and fall upon us all. Then I hope there’s someone out there who can bring me back to you. If I could, then I would. I’ll go wherever you will go. Way up high or down low, I’ll go wherever you will go. Run away with my heart. Run away with my hope. Run away with my love.”
No.246: Savage Garden – Affirmation
“I believe that your most attractive features are your heart and soul.”
No.247: Beartooth – I Was Alive
“Took chances, didn’t doubt ’em. No need to fear the end. ‘Cause I’ll know I didn’t just live. I was alive, live.”
No.248: Papa Roach – Leave a Light On (Talk Away The Dark)
“The rain comes following an endless drought. To wash away the remnants of all your doubt. I hope that you’ll see me looking out. It’s not like me to worry. But when I see you fading in the dark. I’ll leave a light on for you.”
No.249: Citizen Soldier – Burden
“I think that you never get heard. By thinking someone’s got it worse. Been minimized so many times. That you believe it’s deserved. I think you’ve been silent since youth. ‘Cause every time you speak your truth. You’re stigmatized, retraumatized. By all the things you didn’t choose. I don’t mind your darker side, you can lose control (You can lose control). I’d rather hear your hell than see your funeral. You can talk, you can talk to me. I can tell that you’re not okay.”
