Simon And Garfunkel: The Sound Of Silence Lyrics Hello darkness, my old friend I've come to talk with you again Because a vision softly creeping Left its seeds while I was sleeping And the vision that was planted In my brain still remains Within the sound of silence In restless dreams, I walked alone Narrow streets of cobblestone 'Neath the halo of a street lamp I turned my collar to the cold and damp When my eyes were stabbed by the flash Of a neon light that split the night And touched the sound of silence And in the naked light I saw Ten thousand people, maybe more People talking without speaking People hearing without listening People writing songs that voices Never share and no one dared Disturb the sound of silence "Fools", said I, "You do not know Silence like a cancer grows Hear my words that I might teach you Take my arms that I might reach you" But my words, like silent raindrops fell And echoed in the wells of silence And the people bowed and prayed To the neon god they made And the sign flashed out its warning In the words that it was forming And the sign said, ?The words of the prophets are written On the subway walls and tenement halls And whispered in the sounds of silence"

cats and the cradle by ugly kid joe My child arrived just the other day Came to the world in the usual way But there were planes to catch and bills to pay He learned to walk while I was away He was talkin' 'fore I knew it And as he grew he said, I'm gonna be like you, Dad, You know I'm gonna be like you. Chorus And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon, Little boy blue and the man on the moon. When you comin' home?' 'Son, I don't know when, but we'll get together then. You know we'll have a good time then.' My son turned ten just the other day. He said, 'Thanks for the ball, Dad. Come on, let's play. Can you teach me to throw?' I said, 'Not today. I got a lot to do.' He said, 'That's okay.' And then he walked away but the smile never dimmed and he said, 'You know, I'm gonna be like him, yeah. You know I'm gonna be like him.' Chorus Well, he came from college just the other day, So much like a man, I just had to say, 'I'm proud of you. Could you sit for a while?' He shook his head and he said with a smile, 'What I'd really like, Dad, is to borrow the car keys. See you later. Can I have them please?' Chorus I've long since retired, my son's moved away. I called him up just the other day. I said, 'I'd like to see you, if you don't mind.' He said, 'I'd love to, Dad, if I could find the time. You see my new job's a hassle and the kids have the flu, But it's sure nice talkin' to you, Dad. It's been sure nice talkin' to you.' And as I hung up the phone it occurred to me, He'd grown up just like me. My boy was just like me. cowboy...

Snuff by Slipknot The lyrics are a bit complicated, but I think they are really beautiful :) Here we go, got the lyrics now ^^ Bury all your secrets in my skin Come away with innocence and leave me with my sins The air around me still feels like a cage And love is just a camouflage for what resembles rage again So if you love me let me go And run away before I know My heart is just too dark to care I can't destroy what isn't there Deliver me into my fate If I'm alone I cannot hate I don't deserve to have you Ooh, my smile was taken long ago If I can change I hope I never know I still press your letters to my lips And cherish them in parts of me that savor every kiss I couldn't face a life without your lights But all of that was ripped apart when you refused to fight So save your breath, I will not care I think I made it very clear You couldn't hate enough to love Is that supposed to be enough? I only wish you weren't my friend Then I could hurt you in the end I never claimed to be a saint Ooh, my own was banished long ago It took the death of hope to let you go So break yourself against my stones And spit your pity in my soul You never needed any help You sold me out to save yourself And I won't listen to your shame You ran away, you're all the same Angels lie to keep control Ooh, my love was punished long ago If you still care don't ever let me know If you still care don't ever let me know

"Further" by VNV Nation At the end of days, at the end of time. When the sun burns out will any of this matter. Who will be there to remember who we were? Who will be there to know that any of this had meaning for us? And in retrospect I'll say we've done no wrong. Who are we to judge what's right and what has purpose for us? With designs upon ourselves to do no wrong, Running wild unaware of what might come of us. The sun was born, so it shall die, so only shadows comfort me. I know in darkness I will find you giving up inside like me. Each day shall end as it begins and though you're far away from me I know in darkness I will find you giving up inside like me. Without a thought I will see everything eternal, Forget that once we were just dust from heavens fire. As we were forged we shall return, perhaps some day. I will remember you and wonder who we were.

Here is a song called The Rose sung by Bette Midler which uses the rose as a simile for love. Listen here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u6_s0QIbI94&feature=related THE ROSE Some say love it is a river that drowns the tender reed Some say love it is a razor that leaves your soul to bleed Some say love it is a hunger an endless aching need I say love it is a flower and you it's only seed It's the heart afraid of breaking that never learns to dance It's the dream afraid of waking, that never takes the chance It's the one who won't be taken who cannot seem to give and the soul afraid of dying, that never learns to live When the night has been too lonely and the road has been too long and you think that love is only for the lucky and the strong Just remember in the winter, far beneath the bitter snow lies the seed that with the sun's love in the spring becomes the rose
