Your Anthem(s)

[weallloveleeds]

What songs do you think some up your personality, or are special to you, and why?

Mine; I think my first song sums up my hard exterior and attitude to life, and my second shows that really inside I'm a big softie

My anthem:

BABYSHAMBLES- FUCK FOREVER


It's all and the same
It's all and the same, oh

So what's the use between death and glory?
I can't tell between death and glory
Happy endings, no, they never bore me
Happy endings, they still don't bore me
They, they have a way
A way to make you pay
And to make you toe the line
Sever the ties
Because I'm so clever
But clever ain't wise

And fuck forever
If you don't mind
Fuck forever
If you don't mind (don't mind)

What's the use between death and glory?
I can't tell between death and glory
New Labour and Tory
Pergatory and happy families

All and the same
All and the same
No, it's not the same
It's not suppose to be the same

Know about that way
The way they'll make you pay
And the way they make you toe the line
Sever the ties
Oh, you're so clever
You're so clever but not very nice
So fuck forever
If you don't mind
I'm stuck forever
(I'm stuck) in your mind

Go ahead and know about that way
To make you feel/realise to make you pay
And...
To make you toe the line
Sever the ties
I'll never...
Sever the ties
And fuck forever
If you don't mind
See I'm stuck forever
I'm stuck in your mind, your mind, your mind, your mind

My other anthem


THE HOUNDS OF LOVE- THE FUTUREHEADS

When I was a child, running in the night, i was afraid of what might be
Hiding in the dark and hiding on the street, and of what was following me

The hounds of love are calling
I've always been a coward, and I don't know what's good for me

Well here I go,it's coming at me through the trees
Help me, someone, help me, please
Take my shoes off, and i will throw them in the lake, and I will be,
two steps on the water

I found a fox, who was caught by dogs, he let me take him in my hands
His little heart, it beat so fast
And I'm ashamed to be running away
From nothing real, i just can't deal with this
I feel ashamed to be there

Among your hounds of loving
And feel your arms surround me
I've always been a coward, and i dont know what's good for me

Oh, here I go, don't let me go, hold me down
It's coming at me through the trees
Help me, someone, help me, please
Take my shoes off, and i will throw them in the lake, and I will be,
two steps on the water
And I will be, two steps on the water

Do you know what I need, do you know what I need,
i need love love love love love,yeah
Take your shoes off, and throw them in the lake,
and I will be, two steps on the water
Do you know what I need, do you know what I need,
i need love love love love love, yeah
Do you know what I need, do you know what I need,
i need love love love love love, yeah

[The Lucky C]

I've got two...

Bruce Springsteen - Born To Run

In the day we sweat it out on the streets of a runaway American dream
At night we ride through mansions of glory in suicide machines
Sprung from cages out on highway 9,
Chrome wheeled, fuel injected
and steppin' out over the line
Baby this town rips the bones from your back
It's a death trap, it's a suicide rap
We gotta get out while we're young
'Cause tramps like us, baby we were born to run

Wendy let me in I wanna be your friend
I want to guard your dreams and visions
Just wrap your legs 'round these velvet rims
and strap your hands across my engines
Together we could break this trap
We'll run till we drop, baby we'll never go back
Will you walk with me out on the wire
'Cause baby I'm just a scared and lonely rider
But I gotta find out how it feels
I want to know if love is wild
babe I want to know if love is real

Beyond the Palace hemi-powered drones scream down the boulevard
The girls comb their hair in rearview mirrors
And the boys try to look so hard
The amusement park rises bold and stark
Kids are huddled on the beach in a mist
I wanna die with you Wendy on the streets tonight
In an everlasting kiss

The highway's jammed with broken heroes on a last chance power drive
Everybody's out on the run tonight
but there's no place left to hide
Together Wendy we can live with the sadness
I'll love you with all the madness in my soul
Someday girl I don't know when
we're gonna get to that place
Where we really want to go
and we'll walk in the sun
But till then tramps like us, baby we were born to run (x3)

Within Temptation - Stand My Ground

I can see
when you stay low nothing happens
does it feel right ?

Late at night
things I thought I put behind me
haunt my mind

I just know there's no escape
now once it sets its eyes on you
but I won't run, have to stare it in the eye

Stand my ground, I won't give in
no more denying, I got to face it
won't close my eyes and hide the truth inside
if I don't make it, someone else will
stand my ground

It's all around
getting stronger, coming closer
into my world

I can feel
that it's time for me to face it
can I take it?

Though this might just be the ending
of the life I held so dear
but I won't run, there's no turning back from here

Stand my ground (repeat chorus)

All I know for sure is I'm trying
I will always stand my ground

Stand my ground, I won't give in (I won't give in)
I won't give up (I won't give up)
no more denying, I got to face it
won't close my eyes and hide the truth inside
if I dont make it, someone else will

Stand my ground, I won't give in
no more denying, I got to face it
won't close my eyes and hide the truth inside
if I don't make it, someone else will
stand my ground

[Neko Bazu]

Mine would change pretty frequently, but right now, I'd go for this one (and I've even got the translated lyrics for you, since it's a Japanese song). At first glance, it might come across as kind of emo, but if you read it properly it's actually about wanting to stand up, be counted and be happy

If you were wondering, it's a very upbeat hard rock sort of song~

Imamade Nandomo ('Many Times Until Now')

Maybe it was constant self-control
Maybe you were crying inside
Can't you give away the dream you chose yourself?

More than the number of times I suffered
More than the number of times I doubt
I want the number of times I laugh and trust others
And I pray that it'll happen in my life

Even though I was always a side character
Even though I'm a shadow
Let me be in the centre when I dream
Let me be honest

Many times until now, somehow I didn't give up
Many times until now, I always stood up, right?
Many times until now, we always trusted each other
Many times until now, I dreamed
Many times until now...

Many times until now, I've seen stupid things
Many times until now, I was standing in someone's shadow
Now, I'm a main character, let me have what I want

I have been escaping from a lot of things
I terminate those decisions
But for that dream, but for that dream
But for that dream...

I'm sick of being a side character while I'm dreaming
Let me be in the centre when I dream
Let me be honest
Let me be not a side character, but a main character

Many times until now, somehow I didn't give up
Many times until now, I always stood up, right?
Many times until now, we always trusted each other
Many times until now, I dreamed
Many times until now...

To break the seal, I bent a lot
To trust someone, I doubted a lot
To protect someone, I was hurt a lot
Many times until now...

Many times until now, I've seen stupid things
Many times until now, I was standing in someone's shadow
Now, I'm a main character, let me have what I want

[JJ]

I'll put forward this offering....

Remember when you ran away
And I got on my knees and begged you
Not to leave because I'd go beserk?
WELL,

You left me anyhow and
Then the days got worse and worse
And now you see I've gone completely
out of my mind

AND

(chorus 1):
They're coming to take me away,
Haha, they're coming to take me away,
Ho ho, hee hee, ha ha,
To the funny farm
Where life is beautiful all the time
And I'll be happy to see
Those nice young men
In their clean white coats
And they're coming to take me AWAY,
HA HAAAA

You thought it was a joke,
and so you LAUGHED, YOU LAUGHED!
When I had said that losing you
Would make me flip my lid,

RIGHT?

You know you laughed.
I HEARD you laugh, you laughed
And laughed and laughed
And then you left,
But now you know I'm utterly mad

AND

(chorus 2):
They're coming to take me away,
Haha, they're coming to take me away,
Ho ho, hee hee, ha ha,
To the happy home with trees and flowers
And chirping birds and basket weavers
Who sit and smile and
Twiddle their thumbs and toes
And they're coming to take me away,
HAHAAAAAAAAA

I cooked your food,
I cleaned your house,
And this is how you pay me back
For all my kind unselfish loving deeds

HUH?

Well, you just wait,
They'll find you yet,
And when they do, they'll put you in
the ASPCA, you mangy MUTT,

AND

(chorus 1)
(chorus 2)
(chorus 1 trailing into mumbles in the distance)

This my anthem

Well it started out
Down a dirty road.
Started out
All alone.

And the sun went down
As I crossed the hill.
And the town lit up,
And the world got still.

I'm learnin' to fly,
But I ain't got wings.
Comin' down
Is the hardest thing.

Well the good ol' days
May not return.
And the rocks might melt,
And the sea may burn.

I'm learnin' to fly,
But I ain't got wings.

Comin' down
Is the hardest thing.

Well some say life
Will beat you down,
And break your heart,
Steal your crown.

So it started out
For God-knows-where.
I guess I'll know
When I get there.

I'm learning to fly
Around the clouds.
What goes up
Must come down.

I'm learnin to fly
But I ain't got wings.
Comin' down
Is the hardest thing.

I'm learnin' to fly
Around the clouds.
But what goes up
Must come down.

I'm learnin' to fly.
I'm learnin' to fly.
