    In some songs, the lyrics have more emphasis than the instruments do. Sometimes this is for artistic reasons, while other times it is done because there is a message that the singer feels that they must convey to their audience.

    What is your favorite instance of a meaningful song? Reply with a verse from a song that really spoke to you.



    For me, I was really impressed by the meaningful lyrics in the second verse of the song Do Better, by Say Anything.

    Your life is always the post of something else.
    Where is the present in the way that you present yourself?
    It's disgusting how little that you try:
    The existential equivalent of pink eye.
    Drink alone and watch TV.
    You're expecting harmonies
    To tap your tune with silver spoons,
    The anthem of impending doom.
    Guiding Satan's steady hand.
    Forcing Beatles to disband.
    It's ego freaks and drama queens
    The young at heart know what I mean.

    I really love the song Human by Christina Perri. It really relates to what I feel on a daily basis. Here's some lyrics:
    I can fake a smile
    I can force a laugh
    I can dance and play the part
    If that's what you ask
    Give you all I am

    I can do it
    I can do it
    I can do it

    But I'm only human
    And I bleed when I fall down
    I'm only human
    And I crash and I break down
    Your words in my head, knives in my heart
    You build me up and then I fall apart
    'Cause I'm only human

    I cry just thinking about it...

    How to Save a Life by The Fray... ;-;

    Step one, you say, "We need to talk."​
    He walks, you say, "Sit down. It's just a talk."​
    He smiles politely back at you​
    You stare politely right on through​
    Some sort of window to your right​
    As he goes left and you stay right​
    Between the lines of fear and blame​
    You begin to wonder why you came​
    Where did I go wrong? I lost a friend​
    Somewhere along in the bitterness​
    And I would have stayed up with you all night​
    Had I known how to save a life​
    Let him know that you know best​
    'Cause after all you do know best​
    Try to slip past his defence​
    Without granting innocence​
    Lay down a list of what is wrong​
    The things you've told him all along​
    Pray to God, he hears you​
    And I pray to God, he hears you​
    And where did I go wrong? I lost a friend​
    Somewhere along in the bitterness​
    And I would have stayed up with you all night​
    Had I known how to save a life​
    As he begins to raise his voice​
    You lower yours and grant him one last choice​
    Drive until you lose the road​
    Or break with the ones you've followed​
    He will do one of two things​
    He will admit to everything​
    Or he'll say he's just not the same​
    And you'll begin to wonder why you came​
    Where did I go wrong? I lost a friend​
    Somewhere along in the bitterness​
    And I would have stayed up with you all night​
    Had I known how to save a life​
    Where did I go wrong? I lost a friend​
    Somewhere along in the bitterness​
    And I would have stayed up with you all night​
    Had I known how to save a life​
    How to save a life​
    How to save a life​

    You can be amazing
    You can turn a phrase into a weapon or a drug
    You can be the outcast
    Or be the backlash of somebody's lack of love
    Or you can start speaking up

    Nothing's gonna hurt you the way that words do
    When they settle 'neath your skin
    Kept on the inside and no sunlight
    Sometimes a shadow wins
    But I wonder what would happen if you

    Say what you wanna say
    And let the words fall out
    Honestly I wanna see you be brave

    These are lyrics from Brave by Sara Bareilles. I really enjoyed the lyrics in this song. They tell how deep words really are and it really actually means a lot to me.

    Fire by Gavin Degraw has become one of my favourite songs of 2014 because of this part:

    In this world, he who stops,
    Won't get anything he wants.
    Play like the top 1 percent,
    Till nothing's left to be spend.

    This basically tells you to never give up and give it your all and that's something I really want to do in life, just these few lines have helped my to not give up a couple if times already.

    Beautiful Cruel World (From Attack on Titan - Mikasa's theme), chorus

    How can anybody live in a world so cruel and beautiful?
    Always asking why we're really here
    losing all of our control to our fears
    Some of us are strong, some of us are weak
    But still we seek
    For a new day that can answer more
    Do we really know the world we're fighting for?

    and Stand by Rascel Flatts, chorus

    Cause when push comes to shove
    You taste what you're made of
    You might bend til you break
    Cause it's all you can take

    On your knees you look up
    Decide you had enough
    You get mad
    You get strong
    Wipe your hands, shake it off
    Then you stand

    You want to hear an inspirational song? 'Bleed Red' by Ronnie Dunn is the song for you.


    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RVSOOBQB610

    No one is perfect, and this song reminds you of that. For example, I've got a really bad temper, and even the smallest things irritate the living heck out of me. I'm also really unforgiving and tend to hold grudges. (Hey, no one's perfect.) Through this song, Ronnie Dunn says no one is perfect, but we're all the same in a way. It's hard to explain, you just have to listen to it.
    If you can't follow the link, go to YouTube and type in 'Bleed Red by Ronnie Dunn music video.'
    It's so meaningful, I promise you that. Listen to it, and it'll make you feel good for the rest if the day.
