...when it's in a song?

Music can be many things. Inspiration. Comfort. It can be the words of our emotions and the fuel to our emotions. Music can express things no other art form can. Some people latch to the rhythm and the notes carry them away. Other anchor to the words. I am one of the latter. Below are few lyrics that resonate with me. 


“Writers keep writing what they write
Somewhere another pretty vein just died
I’ve got the scares from tomorrow and I wish you could see
That you’re the antidote to everything except for me, me

A constellation of tears on your lashes
Burn everything you love, then burn the ashes
In the end everything collides
My childhood spat back out the monster that you see” My Songs Know What You Did in the Dark—Fall Out Boy

“Want to put my tender, heart in a blender
Watch it spin around to a beautiful oblivion” Inside Out—Eve 6

“So here I slave inside of broken dream
Forever holding on to splitting seams
So take your piece and leave me alone to die
I don’t need you to keep my faith alive” Shackled—Vertical Horizon

 “Masquerading as a man with a reason
My charade is the event of the season
And if I claim to be wise man,
Well, it surely means that I don’t know” Carry on my Wayward Son—Kansas

 “Why do we have to break down to know if it’s real?
Why do we have to hurt ourselves to learn how to feel?
Why do we learn the right way by doing the wrong?

And why does it start to make sense when it’s in a song?”  Don’t Worry—Soja
