what your listening to now great lyrics

[Poison]

post some meaningful lyrics from a song you have been listening to.

The Strokes
Ize of the world:


I think I know what you mean but watch what you say
Cause they'll be trying to knock you down in some way
Sometimes it feels like the world is falling asleep
How do you wake someone up from inside a dream?

Your mind would wander and search for its place in the night
Your body followed this feeling like following light
Once that your music was born it followed you 'round
And then it gave your activities meaning and let you be loud

You're sad but you smile, it's not in your eyes
Your eyeballs don't change, it's the muscles around your eyes

An egg to fertilize, a pulse to stabilize
A body to deodorize, a life to scrutinize
A child to criticize, young adults to modernize
Citizens to terrorize, generations to desensitize

Your dreams are sweet and obsessed and you're overworked
You're over taken by visions of being overlooked
How disappointed would D.I.D.I.P.P. be
To see such our power in our hands all wasted on greed?
Am I a prisoner to instincts or do my thoughts just live as free
And detached as boats to the dock?

Just like the music was born and detached from your heart
Is your free time to free minds or for falling apart?
Night after night you turn off the light
You don't fall asleep, right away, are we, are we done?

A desk to organize, a product to advertise
A market to monopolize, movie stars you idolize
Leaders to scandalize, enemies to neutralize
No time to apologize, fury to tranquilize
Weapons to synchronize, cities to vapor(ize)

A body to deodorize. Watch out for the sick fires, bro.

"Same Love"
(with Ryan Lewis)
(feat. Mary Lambert)

When I was in the third grade I thought that I was gay,
'Cause I could draw, my uncle was, and I kept my room straight.
I told my mom, tears rushing down my face
She's like "Ben you've loved girls since before pre-k, trippin'."
Yeah, I guess she had a point, didn't she?
Bunch of stereotypes all in my head.
I remember doing the math like, "Yeah, I'm good at little league."
A preconceived idea of what it all meant
For those that liked the same sex
Had the characteristics
The right wing conservatives think it's a decision
And you can be cured with some treatment and religion
Man-made rewiring of a predisposition
Playing God, aw nah here we go
America the brave still fears what we don't know
And God loves all his children, is somehow forgotten
But we paraphrase a book written thirty-five-hundred years ago
I don't know

[HalfBajan]

Hey
What's your name?
Don't worry
Don't be afraid
We won't hurt you

Hey
Lost your way?
Don't worry
Just do as we say
And we won't hurt you

It's hard
The world can lead you so astray
It gets harder
It's hard just to keep the faith

Do you need a reminder
Of the love that we gave you?
Don't worry
You're walking away
But we'll always be watching you

(We'll always be watching you)
(We'll always be watching you)

Every Vektor song in existence


Tetrastructural Minds


It's a long way to reality from the mind's extremities
Deep in the core of the subconscious realm lies
A shrouded being, cowering
Suspended entity in darkness
Encapsulated in a crystalline state
A soft glowing green in black
Amebic dark, invading

Scampering through a silent chasm
On the other side beams a ray of light
The beacon becomes obscured
As the walls structuralize
Cubiform crystallization
A daunted hero falls to its knees
A piece of eternity from within
Condemned to memory

One side is lost
While the other is gained
Will the two ever be one in the same?
Suspended entity in darkness
Encapsulated in a crystalline state
A soft glowing green in black
Amebic dark, invading

Retaliating echos puncturing my sanity
The essence of my being is only a memory
Crippling vices instilled confirm the soul to seclusion
Dissonant existence
Feelings and thoughts without resolution

Life is liquid when we're young
We paint with the colors of the sun
Time solidifies in our brains
And we paint with shades of grey

All I see are dark clouds over a sunny day
The colorful picture of life solidifies and strips away
Tetrastructural minds
What once was liquid is frozen in time
A cold cubic cell traps all hope deep inside
Amebic dark, invading


Oblivion
Spiraling into oblivion, mindless thoughts scream my silent cries
A shroud of blood and body parts are my demise
Shapeless moments crack my memories, a broken mirror inside my mind
The end has come, now time is empty

Souls rip through the skin into oblivion
Reborn into nothingness

Sucked through the veins of the universe flows the essence of existence
Time cluttering, moment shattering, voidless persistence
Aimless gazes stab through my eyes while they set their sights asunder
Lightning strikes upon me when all I've known is thunder

Souls rip through the skin into oblivion
Reborn into nothingness

On and on through eternity, pathways through the galaxies
We were, we are, will we be?
Will our cries be heard, or echo endlessly?

Souls rip through the skin into oblivion
Reborn into nothingness

I see fire
-Ed Sheeran


Oh, misty eye of the mountain below
Keep careful watch of my brothers' souls
And should the sky be filled with fire and smoke
Keep watching over Durin's son

If this is to end in fire
Then we should all burn together
Watch the flames climb high into the night
Calling out father, stand by and we will
Watch the flames burn auburn on the mountain side

And if we should die tonight
Then we should all die together
Raise a glass of wine for the last time
Calling out father, prepare as we will
Watch the flames burn auburn on the mountain side
Desolation comes upon the sky




Now I see fire, inside the mountain
I see fire, burning the trees
And I see fire, hollowing souls
I see fire, blood in the breeze
And I hope that you'll remember me

Oh, should my people fall
Then surely I'll do the same
Confined in mountain halls
We got too close to the flame
Calling out father hold fast and we will
Watch the flames burn auburn on the mountain side
Desolation comes upon the sky

Now I see fire, inside the mountain
I see fire, burning the trees
I see fire, hollowing souls
I see fire, blood in the breeze
And I hope that you'll remember me

And if the night is burning
I will cover my eyes
For if the dark returns then
My brothers will die
And as the sky's falling down
It crashed into this lonely town
And with that shadow upon the ground
I hear my people screaming out

Now I see fire, inside the mountain
I see fire, burning the trees
I see fire, hollowing souls
I see fire, blood in the breeze

I see fire, oh you know I saw a city burning (fire)
I see fire, feel the heat upon my skin (fire)
And I see fire (fire)
And I see fire burn auburn on the mountain side

Mr. President, I come to you on behalf of my generation
To talk to you about this little plant situation
See, a lot of politicians hate it
But I'mma break it down and demonstrate to you
Why it's not as bad as they make it sound
See, you're the president that I believe can handle this
Heck, ya campaign slogan was ''Yes, we cannabis''
Just kidding, but seriously
Let's examine this subject truthfully, dawg
Look, so you taught constitutional law at Harvard, right, in 96?
Well, you should know the Declaration of Independence was drafted outta hemp
So were the sails that pushed our ships on the path to the colonies
So was the fuel used for Henry Ford's model T
So in a sense, you could say that pot has actually driven American history
(Please, it makes you lazy and underachieve)
But how can that be
When some of the most successful people smoked weed?
From Walt Disney to Milton Fried(man)
From Stephen King to Steve Jobs
The apple didn't fall far from the tree
You get it?
Steve Jobs, apple, trees
Jobs created the Apple computer high off weed
See, people believe that this plant is sinful
But let's go back in time and find out exactly where these beliefs came from
Cause before the 1930's, you could blaze up
But after the 1930's, things changed up
Cause that's man President Hoover commissioned a man named Harry J. Anslinger
As head of the Federal Bureau of Narcotics
His middle name's ironic
Cause he was the main guy attempting to demonize marijuana
Ummm, I mean cannabis sativa
See, the name ''marijuana'', he created as propaganda
For the people to make it sound more dirty
And a little more evil
Figured if he scared the public enough they would want it illegal
He teamed up with newspapers, who had their own motivations
(Like what?)
Google decorticator
The newspapers printed fake stories
About how every puff destroys your brain
Making you crazy insane, prone to murder and rape
The used race and then said again
That weed makes white women get pregnant
By Negroes and immigrant Mexicans
And based off of no research and investigation
Congress rubber stamped that legislation
And then poof, there was a law around it
So we accepted it and never thought about it
But, let's get smart about it
Lies and greed are the real reasons that it's illegal
And the reason you got that look on your face
When I talk about it

[Hook]
Smoking weed with the president, with the pres
Smoking weed with the president, with the pres
Smooking weed, smoke smoke smoking weed with the president
Getting high, getting higher than I ever been
Smoking weed with the president, with the pres
Smoking weed with the president, with the pres
Smooking weed, smoke smoke smoking weed with the president
Getting high, getting higher than the deficit

[Verse 2]
(Mr. EA, marijuana's illegal for public health reasons
We don't want the American people
Breathing that stuff in and smoking it
Ain't nothing wrong with a little game day buzz
But marijuana is a dangerous, useless gateway drug
And you want me to legalize?
So the kids can get it easier? Ha ha
Well, what can I say
Either that's something to laugh at
Or bro, you're more of a jackass than Kanye)
A jackass? Ok, how about we talk about this rationally
Every 6 seconds a person dies from tobacco
And every 13 from alcohol
Guess how many died in the last ten thousand years from weed?
None at all
That's zip zero nada, no chance to overdose
Not one case in history, and no, I am not blowing smoke
Don't be a coward, just regulate and control it
Take the power from the drug dealers who contaminate, sell it and own it
See, they love the laws the way they are because they make millions
When drug lords support your laws, it's time to amend them
As for the kids, yeah, I'd agree except
It's easier for kids to buy weed today than to buy beer or cigarettes
Is that surprising?
Think about it, Sir, how many drug dealers you know ask to see ID?
And stop saying it's a gateway drug
Something so strong that you can't break away from
Big homie listen, quit being a politician
Studies show it's non addictive
And gateway theory is a lot of fiction
A contradiction, and you can quote me for it
You said marijuana was a ''useless'' drug?
Hold up a moment
Medical tests and evidence show it's proven to treat
Glaucoma, cancer, asthma, multiple sclerosis
It could do so much if it was legal
But if it was legal a lot of pharmaceutical drugs wouldn't be needed
I did my research and it seems that
(What? So what did you find out?)
Big pharma gave you a millions of dollars
So if weed became legal they would lose a lot of profit
And you would lose funding
So tell me Mr. Presidential
Is it really public health or is it special interest?
Are you worried about the kids, or the private businesses?
Only a few years back, you was against lobbying and corporate robbery
You campaigned for ''change'', well dammit, now demonstrate it in policy
Cause if you really wanna stimulate the economy
And mitigate the problems that emanate from poverty
It's time to legalize this billion dollar commodity
Harvard professor Jeffrey Myron estimated
9 billion dollars generated in taxes from regulation
Plus another 11 will be saved from law enforcement resources and incarcerations
That's 20 billion total every year
You saying this country don't need that kind of paper?
Put it towards environment, invest in education
Infrastructure in conjunction with job creation
Or maybe a combination, just stop laughing at this situation
And give it serious consideration
It ain't a joke, ain't nothing funny
The country's broke and its people need money
It's simple economics

[Hook]

[Verse 3]
You did it, Bush did it
Clinton did it, Lincoln did it
And now you throw people in prison for this crime that ''we'' committed?
Mr. President, if it's such a sin
Then why don't you and the men I just named turn yourselves in?
I beg your pardon
See, I don't wanna hear that circular logic, we ain't in that oval office
Let's be honest
If you got caught with marijuana the day you smoked there wouldn't even be an Obama
No Barack at that prestigious college of Harvard
Getting his speeches polished with honors
Cause today, you can't get a student loan if caught with one weed cigarette
But you can have a rape conviction on your record and still get a check
From the government, yo, what the fuck is this?
Do you not see injustice when
It's people suffering sick dying of cancer
Who's only relief is a plant proven to ease pain
But, that will mean handcuffs
That will mean being called a criminal
That will mean thrown behind bars
Pitiful, Mr. President this ain't political
It's commonsensical
Millions in prison for something that's never killed a single individual
But you make deals with prescription drug advocates
When just last year more Americans died from prescriptions in they cabinets
Than heroin, terrorism, murder and traffic accidents combined
Mr.President, open your eyes
And see the blood on the wall
These companies wouldn't care if the country was coming apart
They sharks, they only care about how much it'll cost
Ain't been a disease cured in 60 years
Why? Cause a patient cured is a customer lost
Well, I say enough is enough
It's time for us to fix this
It's time to get away from the pharmaceutical interests
Forget about the stigma
Forget the opinions of politicians
Cause collective ignorance don't mean wisdom
Forget about pandering to the system
Cause when the system's wrong, Sir, it's your duty to go against it
I urge you to re-read that 9th amendment
And have courage and conviction and remember your commitment
To the people, cause what if it was Malia?
What if she needed a drug that was illegal to survive
Would things change? Would they be a little different?
Would policy remain, put yourself in that position
And no, I'm not wishing that on you, just illustrating
The consequences of this little plant situation
Cause a lot of politicians hate it
But I just broke it down, it's up to you to step up, Sir
The time is now
I say the time is now
I hope you step up, Sir
The time is now


Yea, I am a pothead

[Ferris Bueller]

Some say the blacker the berry, the sweeter the juice
I say the darker the flesh then the deeper the roots
I give a holla to my sisters on welfare
2Pac cares, if don't nobody else care
And, I know they like to beat you down a lot
When you come around the block, brothers clown a lot
But please don't cry, dry your eyes, never let up
Forgive but don't forget, girl, keep your head up
And when he tells you you ain't nothin', don't believe him
And if he can't learn to love you, you should leave him
Cause sister, you don't need him
And I ain't tryin' to gas ya up, I just call 'em how I see 'em
You know what makes me unhappy
When brothers make babies, and leave a young mother to be a pappy
And since we all came from a woman
Got our name from a woman and our game from a woman
I wonder why we take from our women
Why we rape our women, do we hate our women
I think it's time to kill for our women
Time to heal our women, be real to our women
And if we don't we'll have a race of babies
That will hate the ladies that make the babies
And since a man can't make one
He has no right to tell a woman when and where to create one
So will the real men get up
I know you're fed up ladies, but keep your head up

[Refrain x2]
Keep ya head up, ooh, child, things are gonna get easier
Keep ya head up, ooh, child, things'll get brighter

[Verse 2]
Aiyyo, I remember Marvin Gaye used to sing to me
He had me feelin' like black was the thing to be
And suddenly the ghetto didn't seem so tough
And though we had it rough, we always had enough
I huffed and puffed about my curfew and broke the rules
Ran with the local crew and had a smoke or two
And I realize Momma really paid the price
She nearly gave her life to raise me right
And all I had to give her was my pipe dream
Of how I'd rock the mic and make it to the bright screen
I'm tryin' to make a dollar out of fifteen cents
It's hard to be legit and still pay the rent
And in the end it seems I'm headin' for the pen
I try to find my friends but they're blowin' in the wind
Last night my buddy lost his whole family
It's gonna take the man in me to conquer this insanity
It seems the rain'll never let up
I try to keep my head up and still keep from gettin' wet up
You know it's funny when it rains it pours
They got money for wars but can't feed the poor
Say there ain't no hope for the youth and the truth is
It ain't no hope for the future
And then they wonder why we crazy
I blame my mother for turning my brother into a crack baby
We ain't meant to survive cause it's a setup
And even though you're fed up
Huh, ya got to keep your head up

[Refrain x2]

[Verse 3]
And uh, to all the ladies havin' babies on they own
I know it's kinda rough and you're feelin' all alone
Daddy's long gone and he left you by your lonesome
Thank the Lord for my kids, even if nobody else want 'em
Cause I think we can make it, in fact, I'm sure
And if you fall, stand tall and come back for more
Cause ain't nothin' worse than when your son
Wants to know why his daddy don't love him no mo'
You can't complain you was dealt this
Hell of a hand without a man, feelin' helpless
Because there's too many things for you to deal with
Dyin' inside, but outside you're looking fearless
While tears is rollin' down your cheeks
Ya steady hopin' things don't fall down this week
Cause if it did, you couldn't take it, and don't blame me
I was given this world I didn't make it
And now my son's gettin' older and older and cold
From havin' the world on his shoulders
While the rich kids is drivin' Benz
I'm still tryin' to hold on to surviving friends
And it's crazy, it seems it'll never let up, but
Please, you got to keep your head up
