    This is pretty similar to the Describe yourself with lyrics thread, but anyhoo...

    Like it says in the title... What song best describes your life right now?




    Here's mine:

    Wake For Young Souls - Third Eye Blind

    Where’s my soul

    I have your face in a photo in high school when you were alive but that’s all I have
    And I can’t remember who I was myself then and it doesn’t help still I looked to you as a friend to tell me

    Chorus
    who we are now, who we are
    who we are now, who we are
    where does time go now on a wake for young souls
    tell me who we are now, who we are
    where does time go now on a wake for young souls
    Like a lullaby we sing

    Well the wind that blows its blowing colder and the child that grows she’s growing older
    And the friends we know they’ll turn a shoulder
    the friends we know they are growing colder

    Chorus

    Where’s my soul

    Cycle of the moon brings blood to the woman
    In the blood of the woman brings birth of a child
    Child grow up
    Keep forgetting something
    Birth of a child comes someplace while you
    Even grey days beat the shade to wean
    Unbodied unsouled unheard unseen
    Let the gift be grown in the time to call our own
    Let the truth be sewn before the windows closing
    Truth is natural like a wind that blows
    Follow the direction no matter where it goes
    So it shall be the earth and the sea
    Let the truth blow like a hurricane through me

    If I’ve been cold, if I’ve spoken in anger, to have been bold, forgive me
    You I don’t see your mother not like before, though she hasn’t forgotten she doesn’t like to be reminded anymore.
    Annie got married it didn’t come with out tears like the day you died I have laughter for these years

    Chorus

    Other things we know are going to fall away from me like a grain of sand slips through a good friends hand

    No songs..
    I'm feeling so down, can't be described by any song I know. Not even 'Outshined'!

    Well, mine is not quite a song... it's orchestra tuning their instruments before the opera.

    give an electric guitar to a five-year-old for the first time, crank it, and whatever 'song' that comes out pretty much describes it right now.......

    Hmm, Third Eye Blind for me too: Semi Charmed Life

    I'm packed and I'm holding,
    I'm smiling, she's living, she's golden and
    she lives for me, She says she lives for me,
    Ovation, She's got her own motivation,
    she comes round and she goes down on me,
    And I make her smile, It's like a drug for you,
    Do ever what you want to do,
    Coming over you,
    Keep on smiling,
    what we go through.
    One stop to the rhythm that divides you,
    And I speak to you like the chorus to the verse,
    Chop another line like a coda with a curse,
    And I come on like a freak show takes the stage.
    We give them the games we play, she said,
    I want something else, to get me through this,
    Semi-charmed kind of life,
    I want something else,
    I'm not listening when you say, Good-bye.

    The sky it was gold, it was rose,
    I was taking sips of it through my nose,
    And I wish I could get back there,
    Some place back there,
    Smiling in the pictures you would take,
    Doing crystal myth,
    Will lift you up until you break,
    It won't stop,
    I won't come down, I keep stock,
    With a tick tock rhythm and a bump for the drop,
    And then I bumped up. I took the hit I was given,
    Then I bumped again,
    And then I bumped again.
    How do I get back there to,
    The place where I fell asleep inside you?
    How do I get myself back to,
    The place where you said,
    I want something else to get me through this,
    semi-charmed kind of life,
    I want something else,
    I'm not listening when you say, good-bye,

    I believe in the sand beneath my toes,
    The beach gives a feeling,
    An earthy feeling,
    I believe in the faith that grows,
    And the four right chords can make me cry,
    When I'm with you I feel like I could die.
    And that would be all right,
    All right, When the plane came in,
    She said she was crashing,
    The velvet it rips,
    In the city we tripped,
    On the urge to feel alive,
    But now I'm struggling to survive,
    The days you were wearing,
    That velvet dress,
    You're the priestess,
    must confess,
    Those little red panties,
    They pass the test,
    Slide up around the belly,
    Face down on the mattress,
    One,
    Now you hold me,
    And we're broken.
    Still it's all that I want to do.
    Feel myself with a head made of the ground,
    I'm scared but I'm not coming down.
    And I won't run for my life,
    She's got her jaws just locked now in smile
    but nothing is all right,
    All right, I want something else,
    To get me through this,
    Semi-charmed kind of life,
    I want something else,
    I'm not listening when you say,
    good-bye.

    "Pale Blue Eyes" by The Velvet Underground.

    "Sometimes I feel so happy
    Sometimes I feel so sad
    Sometimes I feel so happy
    But mostly you just make me mad
    Baby you just make me mad
    Linger on, your pale blue eyes
    Linger on, your pale blue eyes

    Thought of you as my mountain top
    Thought of you as my peak
    Thought of you as everything
    I've had but couldn't keep
    I've had but couldn't keep

    If I could make the world as pure and strange as what I see
    I'd put you in the mirror I put in front of me
    I'd put in front of me

    Skip a life completely, stuff it in a cup
    She said money is like us in time
    It lies but can't stand up
    Down for you is up

    It was good what we did yesterday
    And I'd do it once again
    The fact that you are married
    Only proves that you're my best friend
    But it's truly, truly a sin
    Linger on, your pale blue eyes
    Linger on, your pale blue eyes

    "

    all of his songs that is!

    not just that one!

    particularly-FUEL TO THE FIRE- which, in my opinion, is the best song in the world:)

    I've been in a Guided by Voices wonderland here lately, can't wait to seem in a week!

    Sheetkickers by Bob Pollard of Guided by Voices
    --------------------------------------
    Cover your eyes, the light is too bright
    your wisemen, they tell you lies
    and what's worse - they curse
    but still I love the bite
    like flies or maybe mothmen
    as they're attracted to the light - they realize
    the light has come to baptize
    and they will finally realize
    and what's worse - it hurts
    but still they love the bite

    and I would like to die with you
    I'd like to try but I'm not suicide
    and I would like to kill you
    but that would suit you fine, I realize
    and I will not disgrace myself
    by chasing you around to pull you back
    and I will not give in an inch
    you win before the fight begins
    but it's o.k. - I'm over you

    i'm over you
    i'm over you
    i'm over you

    cover your eyes
    the light is too bright
