Need a little project help here

[Lurch]

Day after day, I'm more confused
Yet I look for the light through the pourin' rain
You know that's a game that I hate to loose
And I'm feelin' the strain
Ain't it a shame

Beginnin' to think that I'm wastin' time
I don't understand the things I do
The world outside looks so unkind
Now I'm countin' on you
To carry me through

And when my mind is free
You know a melody can move me
And when I'm feelin' blue
The guitar's comin' through
To soothe me

Thanks for the joy that you've given me
I want you to know I believe in your song
And rhythm and rhyme and harmony
You help me along
Makin' me strong

Dobie Gray Drift Away.
My favorite Song since I was a child.
Has deep meaning for me.

 

[WWJD]

what DIRECTION of deep meaningful lyrics do you seek? Love? Life? Family? Revenge? Hate? Work? Sex? Although I am not a country fan, the lyrics of many country songs are extremely well written, vivid and moving.
Don't take the girl - You're going to miss this - etc etc etc
but what direction are you going?

 

[Lurch]

I was just a normal guy
Life was just a nine to five
With bills and pressure
Piled up to the sky
She never asked
She knew I’d be
Hangin’ with my wilder friends
Looking for some other way to fly

And three days straight was no big feat
Could get by with no food or sleep
And crazy was becoming my new norm

I’d pass out on the bedroom floor
And sleep right through the calm before the storm

My life was just an old routine
Every day the same damn thing
I couldn’t even tell I was alive

I tell you
The high cost of livin’
Ain’t nothing like the cost of livin’ high

High Cost of Living by Jamey Johnson

"Welcome to your life
There's no turning back
Even while we sleep
We will find you
Acting on your best behavior
Turn your back on mother nature
Everybody wants to rule the world"

This reminds me of my nephew who was born with pallisers killian syndrome.

Refrain from Comfortably Numb -Pink Floyd

There is no pain you are receding
A distant ship, smoke on the horizon.
You are only coming through in waves.
Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying.
When I was a child I had a fever
My hands felt just like two balloons.
Now I've got that feeling once again
I can't explain you would not understand
This is not how I am.
I have become comfortably numb.


One of my Turns – Pink Floyd

Day after day, love turns grey
Like the skin of a dying man.
Night after night, we pretend its all right
But I have grown older and
You have grown colder and
Nothing is very much fun any more.
And I can feel one of my turns coming on.
I feel cold as a razor blade,
Tight as a tourniquet,
Dry as a funeral drum.

Run to the bedroom,
In the suitcase on the left
You'll find my favorite axe.
Don't look so frightened
This is just a passing phase,
One of my bad days.
Would you like to watch T.V.?
Or get between the sheets?
Or contemplate the silent freeway?
Would you like something to eat?
Would you like to learn to fly?
Would'ya?
Would you like to see me try?

Would you like to call the cops?
Do you think it's time I stopped?
Why are you running away?

 

[racerV]

Im sure alot of us can relate to this song.

I'm tired of being what you want me to be
Feeling so faithless lost under the surface
Don't know what you're expecting of me
Put under the pressure of walking in your shoes
(Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow)
Every step that I take is another mistake to you
(Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow)

I've become so numb I can't feel you there
I've become so tired so much more aware
I'm becoming this all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you

Can't you see that you're smothering me
Holding too tightly afraid to lose control
Cause everything that you thought I would be
Has fallen apart right in front of you
(Caught in the undertow just caught in the undertow)
Every step that I take is another mistake to you
(Caught in the undertow just caught in the undertow)
And every second I waste is more than I can take

I've become so numb I can't feel you there
I've become so tired so much more aware
I'm becoming this all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you

And I know I may end up failing too
But I know You were just like me
With someone disappointed in you

I've become so numb I can't feel you there
I've become so tired so much more aware
I'm becoming this all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you

I've become so numb I can't feel you there
Tired of being what you want me to be
I've become so numb I can't feel you there
Tired of being what you want me to be

When they open the bar I'll be there on a stool
And forget all my cares in a hurry
And it's my belief that I'll find relief
In a bottle of Tennessee courage

But I'll never crawl I can hold up the wall
With the help of some Tennessee courage

Now my good friend Jack Daniels stands tall on the shelf
And he'll go to war with my troubles
And he'll never desert this old friend when I'm hurt
And needin' some Tennessee courage

Now straight ninety proof can alter the truth
Put hair on your chest in a hurry
I know I'll survive to raise hell for a while
With the help of some Tennessee courage

No he'll never desert this old friend when I'm hurt
And needin' some Tennessee courage
So pour me some Tennessee courage

I'm no stranger to the rain
I'm a friend of thunder
Friend, is it any wonder lightning strikes me
I've fought with the devil
Got down on his level
But I never gave in, so he gave up on me

I'm no stranger to the rain
I can spot bad weather
And I'm good at finding shelter in a downpour
I've been sacrificed by brothers
Crucified by lovers
But through it all I withstood the pain
I'm no stranger to the rain

But when I get that foggy feeling
When I'm feeling down
If I don't keep my head up, I may drown
But it's hard to keep believing
I'll even come out even
While the rain beats your hope in the ground
And tonight it's really coming down

I'm no stranger to the rain
But there'll always be tomorrow
And I'll beg, steal, or borrow a little sunshine
And I'll put this cloud behind me
That's how the Man designed me
To ride the wind and dance in a hurricane
I'm no stranger to the rain

Oh, no, I'm no stranger to the rain

I'm no stranger to the rain
I'm a friend of thunder
Friend, is it any wonder lightning strikes me
But I'll put this cloud behind me
That's how the Man designed me
To ride the wind and dance in a hurricane
I'm no stranger to the rain

Oh, no, I'm no stranger to the rain

Keith Whitley

 

[WWJD]

is it just me, or are alot of these lyrics DEPRESSING and negative? Maybe it's just me

 

[Lurch]

some are only depressing in the way you read them. I'm no stranger to the rain, is uplifting to me. It makes me keep on going even though I may down, pick your head up and move on. Don't let this stop you from getting back up.

And if you hear all of Cost of living, it is an Anti-Drug song. Very moving. PM and I will email you the MP3. I think you owuld like it.

I used to love her, but I had to kill her
I had to put her
Six feet under
And I can still hear her complain

I used to love her, but I had to kill her
I knew I miss her
So I had to keep her
She's buried right in my back yard

I used to love her, but I had to kill her
She b*****d so much
She drove me nuts
And now I'm happier this way

My bills are all due and the baby needs shoes and
I'm busted
Cotton is down to a quarter a pound,
but I'm busted
I got a cow that went dry and a
hen that won't lay
A big stack of bills that
gets bigger each day
The county's gonna haul
my belongings away cause I'm busted.
I went to my brother to ask for a loan cause I was
busted
I hate to beg like a dog without his
bone, but I'm busted
My brother said there ain't a thing I can do,
My wife and my kids are all down with the flu,
And I was just thinking about calling on you 'cause I'm
busted.
Well, I am no thief, but a man can
go wrong when he's busted
The food that we canned last summer is gone and I'm busted
The fields are all bare and the cotton won't
grow,
Me and my family got to pack up and
go,
But I'll make a living, just where I don't
know cause I'm busted.
I'm broke, no bread,
I mean like nothing,

Song: Busted

I was gonna post up "Jesus take the wheel" but I don't think it would fit

It very well could. We still do not know what direction this is suppose to be going.
That song would fit very well.

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away....Now I need a place to hide away...I believe in yesterday.
