post any lyrics to songs that comfort you in one sense or another. they could be incredibly happy or perhaps the epitome of depressing, but if they give you some personal comfort, post them here.

Nick Cave- (Are You) the one that I've been waiting for?
I've felt you coming girl, as you drew near I knew you'd find me, cause I longed you here Are you my desitiny? Is this how you'll appear? Wrapped in a coat with tears in your eyes? Well take that coat babe, and throw it on the floor Are you the one that I've been waiting for?
As you've been moving surely toward me My soul has comforted and assured me That in time my heart it will reward me And that all will be revealed So I've sat and I've watched an ice-age thaw Are you the one that I've been waiting for?
Out of sorrow entire worlds have been built Out of longing great wonders have been willed They're only little tears, darling, let them spill And lay your head upon my shoulder Outside my window the world has gone to war Are you the one that I've been waiting for?
O we will know, won't we? The stars will explode in the sky O but they don't, do they? Stars have their moment and then they die
There's a man who spoke wonders though I've never met him He said, "He who seeks finds and who knocks will be let in" I think of you in motion and just how close you are getting And how every little thing anticipates you All down my veins my heart-strings call Are you the one that I've been waiting for?

well... you said they could be depressing...
I caught you knockin' at my cellar door I love you, baby, can I have some more Ooh, ooh, the damage done.
I hit the city and I lost my band I watched the needle take another man Gone, gone, the damage done.
I sing the song because I love the man I know that some of you don't understand Milk-blood to keep from running out.
I've seen the needle and the damage done A little part of it in everyone But every junkie's like a settin' sun.

"On lead poisoned wings, you try to sing/Freak beak shrieks are thrown at your confusing hue/The peacock's screaming eyes show no mercy.../Painted Bird -it's absurd-just a tainted bird hurting their twisted nerve.
The flock will make you choke/on this sadistic joke/and the whippoorwhils/they make a din/In laughing unison - you're Hithcock carrion - carry on.
I hear your sorrow - maybe tomorrow - you'll lose your sorrow/When a fated weather will cleanse away/that painted feather - and all that sorrow.
A coquette in fur pur/for the Painted Bird/Confound that dowdy flock - with a sharp-honed nerve/Because we're painted birds by our own design - There's no more sorrow.
Have you heard about the Painted Bird?/Just a tainted bird mocking their twisted nerve...Now we're Painted Birds...mocking their twisted nerve.
I can't tell you how much this song meant to me when I was growing up. I was convinced it was about having red hair and having wankers single you out because of it....I liked that the lyrics didn't make the 'Painted Bird' conform to the rest of the flock..and just became it's glorious self....(...I was in bad need of therapy!)

Wond'ring aloud - how we feel today. Last night sipped the sunset - my hand in her hair. We are our own saviours as we start both our hearts beating life into each other.
Wond'ring aloud - will the years treat us well. As she floats in the kitchen, I'm tasting the smell of toast as the butter runs. Then she comes, spilling crumbs on the bed and I shake my head. And it's only the giving that makes you what you are

I mentioned this in another thread, and I know a lot of people don't like Evanescence, but "My Immortal" has been what I've needed-
i'm so tired of being here suppressed by all of my childish fears and if you have to leave i wish that you would just leave because your presence still lingers here and it won't leave me alone
these wounds won't seem to heal this pain is just too real there's just too much that time cannot erase
when you cried i'd wipe away all of your tears when you'd scream i'd fight away all of your fears and i've held your hand through all of these years but you still have all of me
you used to captivate me by your resonating light but now i'm bound by the life you left behind your face it haunts my once pleasant dreams your voice it chased away all the sanity in me
these wounds won't seem to heal this pain is just too real there's just too much that time cannot erase
when you cried i'd wipe away all of your tears when you'd scream i'd fight away all of your fears and i've held your hand through all of these years but you still have all of me
i've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone and though you're still with me i've been alone all along
when you cried i'd wipe away all of your tears when you'd scream i'd fight away all of your fears and i've held your hand through all of these years but you still have all of me

I just love this song because it just fits my mood when I'm down.
Wake from your sleep, the drying of your tears, Today we escape, we escape.
Pack and get dressed before your father hears us, before all hell breaks loose.
Breathe, keep breathing, don't lose your nerve. Breathe, keep breathing, I can't do this alone.
Sing us a song, a song to keep us warm, there's such a chill, such a chill.
And you can laugh a spineless laugh, we hope your rules and wisdom choke you.
And now we are one in everlasting peace,
we hope that you choke, that you choke, we hope that you choke, that you choke, we hope that you choke, that you choke.

Another that I love when feeling not so dandy...
Rows of houses all bearing down on me I can feel their blue hands touching me All these things into position All these things we'll one day swallow whole And fade out again and fade out
This machine will not communicate These thoughts and the strain I am under Be a world child, form a circle Before we all go under And fade out again and fade out again
Cracked eggs, dead birds Scream as they fight for life I can feel death, can see it's beady eyes All these things into position All these things we'll one day swallow whole And fade out again and fade out again
Immerse your soul in love Immerse your soul in love.

This is just relevant of late.
I don't need no lasso I don't need no ball and chain I don't need anything with you Such a shame, shame, shame Shame, shame, shame Shame is the shadow of love
You changed my life We were as green as grass And I was hypnotized From the first 'til the last Kiss of shame, shame, shame Shame is the shadow of love
I'd jump for you into the fire I'd jump for you into the flame Tried to go forward with my life I just feel shame, shame, shame Shame, shame, shame Shame is the shadow of love
If you tell a lie I still would take the blame If you pass me by It’s such a shame, shame, shame

This song has meant a lot to me for a number of years, although I must admit, I don't know why.
He came riding fast like a phoenix out of fire flames He came dressed in black with a cross bearing my name He came bathed in light and the splendor and glory I can't believe what the lord has finally sent me
He said dance for me, fanciulla gentil He said laugh a while, i can make your heart feel He said fly with me, touch the face of the true god And then cry with joy at the depth of my love
Cause i've prayed days, i've prayed nights For the lord just to send me home some sign I've looked long, i've looked far To bring peace to my black and empty heart
My love will stay till the river bed run dry And my love lasts long as the sunshine blue sky I love him longer as each damn day goes The man is gone and heaven only knows
Cause i've cried days. i've cried nights For the lord just to send me up some sign Is he near? is he far? Bring peace to my black and empty heart
So long day. so long night Good lord, be near me tonight Is he near? is he far? Bring peace to my black and empty heart

god yes, The Dancer is so achingly gorgeous. easily one of my favorites by PJ..
and sidewinder, others' opinions are irrelevant. this thread is a very personal one, so if a song is meaningful to you, that is all that matters.
