“Birthday Sex” is not the best example…I’ll get back to you when I’m listening to a “deeper” song.

Inspiring? Maybe not. But definitely rings true! :)

Well open up your mind and see like me
Open up your plans and damn you’re free
Look into your heart and you’ll find love love love
Listen to the music of the moment people dance and sing, were just one big family
It’s our God-forsaken right to be loved love loved love love

And I can’t forget, I can’t forget,I can’t forget, I can’t forget….I can’t forget but I don’t remember what…

(Leonard Cohen)

That was actually the one before. But I picked it on purpose because of all the “I’ll always remember…” notes my last gf hid around my place, just before she forgot my name. The one after was “Thunderstruck” by the AC/DC, but I wouldn’t call it inspiring except in a metaphysical sense…there’s plenty of people I’d like to smite right now.

”... I like big butts & I can’t deny…” also I find ”...big booty hos hump wit it…” particularly inspiring.

They said :
“There’s too much caffeine
In your bloodstream
And a lack of real spice
In your life”

I said :
“Leave me alone
Because I’m alright, dad
Surprised to still
Be on my own…”

Oh, but don’t mention love
I’d hate the strain of the pain again

I’ve been meaning to tell you
I’ve got this feelin’ that won’t subside
I look at you and I fantasize
You’re mine tonight
Now I’ve got you in my sights

With these hungry eyes
One look at you and I can’t disguise
I’ve got hungry eyes
I feel the magic between you and I
Hungry Eyes by Eric Carmen

I’ve been roaming around always lookin down at all I see.
Painted faces fill the places I can’t reach.
You know that I could use somebody
You know that I could use somebody
Someone like you
And all you know and how you speak
Countless lovers undercover of the street
You know that I could use somebody
You know that I could use somebody
Someone like you
Off in the night while you live it up I’m off to sleep
Waging wars to shake the poet and the beat
I hope it’s gonna make you notice
I hope it’s gonna make you notice
Someone like me

Wake up kids
We’ve got the dreamers disease
Age 14 we got you down on your knees
So polite, you’re busy still saying please
Frenemies, who when you’re down ain’t your friend
Every night we smash their Mercedes – Benz
First we run and then we laugh till we cry
But when the night is falling
And you cannot find the light
If you feel your dream is dying
Hold tight
You’ve got the music in you

and later in the song…......

This whole damn world can fall apart
You’ll be ok follow your heart
You’re in harms way
I’m right behind
Now say you’re mine….....

Yesterday, I was lucy ebnough to see U2 live in The Arena (Amsterdam)

I just love:
I never thought you were a fool
But darling, look at you. Ooh.
You gotta stand up straight, carry your own weight
‘Cause tears are going nowhere baby

You’ve got to get yourself together
You’ve got stuck in a moment
And now you can’t get out of it
Don’t say that later will be better
Now you’re stuck in a moment
And you can’t get out of it

beating the fall i cant help the (or but, whatever, the makes more sense)
desire of
falling down this time
deep in this hole of my making i cant escape
falling all this time

we come to this place, falling through time,
living a hollow life,
always we’re taking waiting for signs,
hollow lives

fearing to fall and still the ground below me calls
falling down this time
ripping apart all these things i have tried to stop
falling all this time

we come to this place falling through time,
living a hollow life
always were taking waiting for signs,
hollow life

Is there ever any wonder
why we look to the sky?
search in vain
asking why
all alone where is god
looking down
we dont know

we fall in space
we cant look down
death may come
peace i have found
what to say
am i alive
am i asleep
or have i died

man there are lots but that song, and all it says, and all the music feels like aswell is one of those songs that says and means everything that is like right from your soul… or something like that, its amazing
says everything you mean but cant always say, and has the most awesome music, so its all a whole load more powerful that what i can do =)

hollow life, by korn by the way =)

I can see clearly now the rain has gone
I can see all obstacles in my way.
Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind
Gonna be a bright, bright sunshiney day.
