Hoe voel jij je nu uitgedrukt in (song)teksten?? Deel 28

Alone in this house again tonight
I got the TV on, the sound turned down and a bottle of wine
There's pictures of you and I on the walls around me
The way that it was and could have been surrounds me
I'll never get over you walkin' away

I've never been the kind to ever let my feelings show
And I thought that bein' strong meant never losin' your self-control
But I'm just drunk enough to let go of my pain
To hell with my pride, let it fall like rain
From my eyes
Tonight I wanna cry

Onze winkel is gesloten. En onze team waar ik al heel veel jaren mee sta is nu dus uitelkaar. We gaan elkaar erg veel missen, we waren 1 familie. Mijn familie. Daarom voel ik iets voor dit nummer...

I got my first real six string
Bought it at the five and dime
Played it till my fingers bled
Was the summer of '69

Me and some guys from school
Had a band and we tried real hard
Jimmy quit, Jody got married
I should've known we'd never get far

Oh when I look back now
That summer seemed to last forever
And if I had the choice
Yeah, I'd always wanna be there
Those were the best days of my life (hey)
Ain't no use in complainin'
When you got a job to do
Spent my evenin's down at the drive-in
And that's when I met you! yeah

Standin' on your mama's porch
You told me that you'd wait forever
Oh and when you held my hand
I knew that it was now or never
Those were the best days of my life
(oh ya!)
Back in the summer of '69
(oh)
Man we were killin' time
We were young and restless
We needed to unwind
I guess nothin' can last forever - forever, no...
(yeah)
And now the times are changin'
Look at everything that's come and gone
Sometimes when I play that old six string
I think about you wonder what went wrong

Standin' on your mama's porch
You told me that it'd last forever
and when you held my hand
I knew that it was now or never
Those were the best days of my life (oh yeah)
Back in the summer of '69 (uh huh)
It was the summer of 69 (oh yeah)
Me and my baby in 69
Oooh, hey
It was the summer
Summer, Summer of 69
Hey

I just want to feel safe in my own skin
I just want to be happy again
I just want to feel deep in my own world
But im so onlely i dont even want to be with myself anymore
On a different day
If i was safe in my own skin
Then i wouldn't feel lost and so frightened
But this is today and im lost in my own skin
And im so lonely i dont even want to be with myself anymore
Ii just want to feel safe in my own skin
I just want to be happy again

Ik wou dat het over iemand anders ging.. maar deze is voor mijn ex, 2 jaar geleden..

James Blunt - Goodbye My Lover

Did I disappoint you or let you down?
Should I be feeling guilty or let the judges frown?
'Cause I saw the end before we'd begun,
Yes I saw you were blinded and I knew I had won.
So I took what's mine by eternal right.
Took your soul out into the night.
It may be over but it won't stop there,
I am here for you if you'd only care.
You touched my heart you touched my soul.
You changed my life and all my goals.
And love is blind and that I knew when,
My heart was blinded by you.
I've kissed your lips and held your head.
Shared your dreams and shared your bed.
I know you well, I know your smell.
I've been addicted to you.

Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.

I am a dreamer but when I wake,
You can't break my spirit - it's my dreams you take.
And as you move on, remember me,
Remember us and all we used to be
I've seen you cry, I've seen you smile.
I've watched you sleeping for a while.
I'd be the mother of your child.
I'd spend a lifetime with you.
I know your fears and you know mine.
We've had our doubts but now we're fine,
And I love you, I swear that's true.
I cannot live without you.

Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.

And I still hold your hand in mine.
In mine when I'm asleep.
And I will bear my soul in time,
When I'm kneeling at your feet.
Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.
I'm so hollow, baby, I'm so hollow.
I'm so, I'm so, I'm so hollow...

Ik kom pas als je liggen gaat
Je klaar bent voor de nacht
Ik kom in beelden, in fragmenten
Hard, ineens en onverwacht

Ik kom terwijl je uit het raam kijkt
Van je favoriet cafe
Ik zal er zijn zodra je even denkt
ik heb er vrede mee

Als je eens rustig over zee kijkt
En je denkt: Nu heb ik rust
Heb ik je onverwachts en zachtjes
Keihard op je ziel gekust

Je noemt me oud verdriet
Doe wat je wilt
(maar) Zo vreselijk oud ben ik nog niet

Ik kom het liefste als je luistert
Naar een onverwacht mooi lied
Ik kom pas kijken, weken, maanden
Na het echte grote verdriet

Ik schuil in weggestopte foto's
Iets wat je vindt onder de bank
En echt ik ben niet te verdrinken
Ik schuil het makkelijkst in drank

Ik kom soms midden in het lachen
Dat zo overgaat in huilen
Het zijn precies dezelfde tranen
Die alleen maar van hun namen ruilen

Je noemt me oud verdriet
Doe wat je wilt
(maar) Zo vreselijk oud ben ik nog niet

Naar het liefste kom ik 's nachts
Als je niet slapen kan
Juist dan, juist dan

Tis weer zo´n dag

Arch enemy - Behind The Smile

Sands of time
Running through my fingers
My life slipping away
And I feel nothing
Swallow the tears

Eat the pain - It's worth the degradation - Eat the pain

Behind the smile / I feel nothing
I reach out to touch, but I'm not really there

This reflection in the mirror
Can it really be me?
I see no connection
With who I wanted to be
Drink another glass
Swallow these pills

At the end of the rainbow
You take the bitter
The bitter with the sweet

When love dies
The angels cry
Here I am
Alone... Alone in a crowd

Don't know why I'm still afraid
If you weren't real I would make you up
now
I wish that I could follow through
I know that your love is true
And deep
As the sea
But right now
Everything you want is wrong,
And right now
All your dreams are waking up,
And right now
I wish I could follow you
To the shores
Of freedom,
Where no one lives.

Remember when we first met
And everything was still a bet
In love's game
You would call; I'd call you back
And then I'd leave
A message
On your answering machine

But right now
Everything is turning blue,
And right now
The sun is trying to kill the moon,
And right now
I wish I could follow you
To the shores
Of freedom,
Where no one lives

Freedom
Run away tonight
Freedom, freedom
Run away
Run away tonight

We're made out of blood and rust
Looking for someone to trust
Without
A fight
I think that you came too soon
You're the honey and the moon
That lights
Up my night


But right now
Everything you want is wrong,
And right now
All your dreams are waking up,
And right now
I wish that I could follow you
To the shores
Of freedom
Where no one lives

Freedom
Run away tonight
Freedom freedom
Run away
Run away tonight

We got too much time to kill
Like pigeons on my windowsill
We hang around

Ever since I've been with you
You hold me up
All the time I've falling down

But right now
Everything is turning blue,
And right now
The sun is trying to kill the moon,
And right now
I wish I could follow you
To the shores
Of freedom
Where no one lives

So we sleep in beds
We've never made
Holding close to love
When love should fade
Holding on to this is the best thing we'll ever do

Morning sun is sweet and soft on your eyes
Oh my love, you always leave me surprised
Before my heart starts to burst
With all my love for you

And know how it rains
And know how it pours
I never could feel this way
For anyone but you

And know how it rains
And know how it pours
I never could feel this way
For anyone but you

So it takes some time
And slip away
Holding on to love
When love should stay
Holding on to you is the best thing I'll ever do

Evening sun is sweet and soft in your face
So I'll never ever leave this place
I feel my heart start to burst
With all my love for you

And know how it rains
And know how it pours
I never could feel this way
For anyone but you

And know how it rains
And know how it pours
I never could feel this way
For anyone but you

Alanis Morissette - I was hoping

As we were talking outside it was cold
we were shivering yet warmed by the subject matter
my wife is in the next room we've been having troubles you know please don't tell her or anyone but I need to talk to somebody
you said "wouldn't it be a shame if I knew how great I was five minutes before I died I'd be filled
with such regret before I took my last breath"
and I said "you're willing to tell me this now and you're not going to die anytime soon"
and I said "I haven't been eating chicken or meat or anything"
and you said "yes, but you've been wearing leather"
and laughed and said "we're at the top of the food chain, yes, you're still a fine woman
and I cringed

I was hoping, I was hoping we could heal each other
I was hoping, I was hoping we could be raw together

we left the restaurant where the head waiter (in his 60's) said "good-bye sir thank you for your business sir you're successful and established sir and we like the frequency with which you dine here sir and your money"
and when I walked by they said "thank you too dear"
I was all pigtails and cords and there was a day when i would've said something like "hey dude i could buy and sell this place so kiss it"
I too once thought I was owed something

I was hoping, I was hoping we could challenge each other
I was hoping, I was hoping we could crack each other up

I too thought that when proved wrong I lost somehow and I too once thought life was cruel
it's a cycle really you think I'm withdrawing and guilt tripping you
I think you're insensitive and i don't feel heard
and i said "do you believe we are fundamentally judgemental? fundamentally evil?"
and you said "yes"
I said "I don't believe in revenge in right or wrong good or bad"
you said "well what about the man that I saw handcuffed in the emergency room bleeding after beating his kid and she threw a shoe at his head and I think what he did was wrong and I would've had a hard time feeling compassion for him"
I had to watch my tone for fear of having you feel judged

I was hoping, I was hoping we could dance together
I was hoping, I was hoping we could be creamy together

On a clear day
Rise and look around you
And you'll see who you are

On a clear day
How it will astound you
That the glow of your being
Outshines every star
You feel part of every mountain
Sea and shore
And you can hear from far and near
A world you've never heard before

And on a clear day
On that clear day
You can see forever and ever more

You feel part of every mountain
Sea and shore
And you can hear from far and near
A world you've never heard before

And on a clear day
On that clear day
You can see forever and ever and ever more

Jeff .

Niet helemaal de persoon waar ik aan dacht toen ik me zo voelde, maar idd een erg mooi nummer.

Forget me not, I ask of you
Wherever your life takes you to
And if we never meet again
Think of me every now and then

We had just one day to recall
Now all I want is something more
Than just a fading memory
Left wondering what could have been.

Isn't it a shame, that when timing's all wrong
You're doing what you never meant to,
There's always something that prevents you.
Well I believe in fate, it had to happen this way
But it always leaves me wondering whether...
In another life we'd be together.
We should feel lucky we can say... we've always got yesterday

And as I leave it all behind
You're still emblazoned in my mind
And for that very special day
Nobody loved me in that way

Forget me not, I ask of you
Wherever your life takes you to
And if we never meet again
Think of me every now and then

ik begin Bløf steeds meer te snappen de laatste tijd ..

Het is goed zolang het duurt
Hele jaren, of een uur
Maar neem wat van jou is
Neem mijn ziel, neem mijn vuur

Het is mooi zover het gaat
Heel de wereld, of de straat
Maar neem wat van jou is
Neem mijn liefde, neem mijn haat

Als je weggaat
Doe dan net alsof we halverwege zijn
Halverwege
Zo ver nog van het eind…

Het blijft warm zolang het brandt
Heel je hart, je verstand
Dus neem wat van jou is
Neem mijn lijf in je hand

Als je weggaat
Doe dan net alsof we halverwege zijn
Halverwege
Zo ver nog van het eind
Wees dan stil
Zeg dan niets tegen de pijn
Halverwege
Geef me het gevoel
Dat ìk terugkan
Als je weggaat
Doe dan net alsof we halverwege zijn
Halverwege
Zo ver nog van het eind
Wees dan stil
Zeg dan niets tegen de pijn
Halverwege…

A little less conversation, a little more action please
All this aggravation ain't satisfactioning me
A little more bite and a little less bark
A little less fight and a little more spark
Close your mouth and open up your heart and baby satisfy me
Satisfy me baby

Baby close your eyes and listen to the music
Drifting through a summer breeze
It's a groovy night and I can show you how to use it
Come along with me and put your mind at ease

A little less conversation, a little more action please
All this aggravation ain't satisfactioning me
A little more bite and a little less bark
A little less fight and a little more spark
Close your mouth and open up your heart and baby satisfy me
Satisfy me baby

Come on baby I'm tired of talking
Grab your coat and let's start walking
Come on, come on
Come on, come on
Come on, come on
Don't procrastinate, don't articulate
Girl it's getting late, gettin' upset waitin' around

A little less conversation, a little more action please
All this aggravation ain't satisfactioning me
A little more bite and a little less bark
A little less fight and a little more spark
Close your mouth and open up your heart and baby satisfy me
Satisfy me baby

In dat geval:

I compare your eyes
To the bright blue sky

Your support is like a mountain
Too high to climb

Something beautiful
Something bright
Something so cool to be worth a fright

In your eyes I see eternity
In your laugh I hear love
Make it last forever
And give me the needed hope

Sometimes when I’m down
You help me get up
Sometimes when I feel bad
You’re there
Sometimes when I don’t care
You make me

No one is comparable to you
Always remember that

(m'n nieuwste songtekst wat vinden jullie er van? )

Fiona Apple - Window

I was staring out the window
The whole time he was talking to me
It was a filthy pane of glass
I couldn't get a clear view

As he went on and on
It wasn't the outside world I could see
Just the filthy pane that I was looking through

So I had to break the window
It just had to be
Better that I break the window
Than him or her or me

I was never focused on just one thing
My eyes got fixed when my mind got soft
It may looked like I'm concentrated on a very clear view

But I'm as good as asleep
I bet you didn't know
It takes a lot of it away if you do

So I had to break the window
It just had to be
Better that I break the window
Than him or her or me

So I had to break the window
It just had to be
Better that I break the window
Than him or her or me

Because the fact in fact
Whatever’s in front of me is covering my view
So I can't see what I'm seeing in fact
I only see what I'm looking through

I had to break the window
It just had to be it was in my way
Better that I break the window
Then forget what I had to say

So again I've done the right thing
I was never worried about that
The answer's always been in clear view
But even when the window's clean
I still can't see for the fact
That when it's clean it's so clear
I can't tell what I'm looking through

So I had to break the window
It just had to be
Better that I break the window
Than him or her or me

I had to break the window
It just had to be it was in my way
Better that I break the window
Then forget what I had to say

I had to break the window
It was in my way
Better that I break a window
Then forget what I had to say

Or miss what I should see

Voor mijn lief die zichzelf nu weer even bij elkaar moet zien te rapen. En dat is niet makkelijk als je heen en weer gestuiterd wordt tussen een schema van verplichtingen en een vriendin die bol staat van de zwangerschapshormonen....

He says he looks in the mirror
He can't tell anymore
Who he really is and who they believe him to be
And he says he walks a thin line
Between what is and what could be
He's getting closer
To something he can't understand

Cause there's a crack in his plastic crown
And his throne of ice is melting
He climbed his ladder
There was nothing there
And now it's a long way down

Cause on and on and on he goes dancing on the grave
Of what he thought was still alive
On and on and on he goes
Dancing in mansions made of twigs
And castles made of sand

He says his head is filled with
Cartoons and fairy tales
And he's trapped inside a dungeon of dolls
With smiles on their faces

He's built a pretty cage
Hit shows on a beautiful stage
With candy coated prison bars
And chains that look like jewellery

Cause there's a crack in his plastic crown
And his throne of ice is melting
He climbed his ladder
There was nothing there
And now it's a long way down

Cause on and on and on he goes dancing on the grave
Of what he thought was still alive
On and on and on he goes
Dancing in mansions made of twigs
And castles made of sand

Cause he lives inside
Of fairy tails and castles now
And there's room inside
For false expectations and illusions

Cause there's a crack in his plastic crown
And his throne of ice is melting
He climbed his ladder
There was nothing there
And now it's a long way down
It's a long way down

Cause on and on and on he goes dancing on the grave
Of what he thought was still alive
On and on and on he goes
Dancing in mansions made of twigs
And castles made of sand
Cause on and on and on he goes dancing on the grave
Of what he thought was still alive

En deze is voor mezelf

And as the night turns into day
Will the sun illuminate your way
Or will the nightmares come home to stay
Xavier’s love lies in chains
These were the sins of xavier’s past
Hung like jewels in the forest of veils

Acda & de Munnik - Slaap Zacht, Elisabeth

Werd wakker in de namiddag
En Elisabeth was er niet
Met mijn ogen gesloten door het huis gegaan
Want echt zien wil ik het niet
Ik had zo graag dat je wel hier was
Maar waar je dan ook bent
Ik hoop dat ik daar ook mag komen, ooit
En dat je mij nog kent
Slaap zacht, Elisabeth

Niet iedereen kan een held zijn
Er moeten ook mensen gered
De truc is dansen op de gulden middenweg
En dat red ik nog maar net
Niemand die vertellen kan
Waarom en waarom jij
En ik want ik ben er nog
Ik sleep me naar de voordeur
En dan kijk ik is de middenweg al vrij

En ik zeg
Slaap zacht, Elisabeth

Soms zie ik je in de kleedkamer
Vlak voor het eerste lied
Soms zie ik je ineens tussen de mensen staan
Maar als ik later bij d'r weg ga was je 't niet
Ik weet dat je nooit meer komen zal
Maar ik hou vast aan wat het was
Vannacht droom ik ons weer als koningin
En koning van ons tweedehands matras

En ik zeg
Slaap zacht, Elisabeth
Slaap zacht
Elisabeth, slaap zacht

Voor jou besta ik
Na al die jaren ga ik
Nog steeds blind
Voor jou

Naar jou verlang ik
Je geeft een vinger en dan hang ik
Als een kind
Naar jou

Voor jou de hemel en de aarde
Voor jou die sterren en de maan
Je krijgt het hoe je het wil hebben
Voor jou zal het bestaan

Bij jou vertrek ik
Je zal me roepen en dan trek ik
Me weer terug bij jou

In jou verlies ik
En moet ik zoeken en dan zie ik
Me weer terug
In jou

Voor jou de dagen en de nachten
Voor jou alleen voor jou voortaan
Je krijgt me hoe je me wilt hebben
Als je me niet wilt zal ik gaan

En zal ik zingen van de tijd dat alles goed was
En zal ik zingen van de tijd dat alles goed was

Voor jou een huis om in te wonen
Voor jou een tegel om te staan
Voor jou een woord om te geloven
Een half woord om te verstaan

Door jou geloof ik
Ik wil zo graag en dus beloof ik
Weer te veel
Door jou
Voor jou verzin ik
Bij jou begin ik…
Jou bemin ik
In jou verzink ik
Op jou drink ik
En draai ik maar
En doe ik maar
En win ik je
Nooit echt
Voor mij

Voor jou zing ik een lied
En als je ’t niet wil
Zing ik niet.
