Dag Nasty - All Ages Show

I understand you
you've got a problem
now understand me
it's your problem not mine
to find a reason, don't ask me
don't ask (anyone) for a reason to live your life
shake your head, left and right
like the old man who shows up here every night
what does he hear in this kind of music?
why don't you ask him?
find out what you need to know
all ages show
you haven't lived all there is to live
how old is old?
how old is old?
all ages show
I get the feeling that I've heard all this before
I spoke your words, I felt your feelings
but when I reached a dead end, I knew there was more
I guess I'm just too young to see it
but I've shorn* up some people
a little bit older
and they say the problems keep coming
but reasons to keep on trying keep growing
and they grow and they grow and they grow
all ages show

So, this lyric has been plastered in my head like post-it notes for quite some time now. Delicate, right? The lyrics, of course. This song is of course about age and music (and or culture). At first glance you might think that its actually targeted against older people. Well it is. But it might look like a getupcall to the older generations to still be active, yet i think, its about the problems about growing up, not understanding how it is going to be and all the problems commonly linked to the early years of ones life, and by that, i think its a getupcall for the youth (and youngest) to live their life to the fullest, and dont give a flying fuck about age.

TL;DR: Age discrimination sucks and age doesn't mean shit.

Saetia - The Burden Of Reflecting

lost gray pictures of my past stain greener pastures of my future
rememberance and recognition forces me to reconsider
I am seeking to regress and recreating what I've found
a new beginning torn away
I'm spiraling spiraling down
empty hands on the ends of these reaching arms need the touch of something real
year by year we seperate further
we are forgetting how to feel
for at the end of this long rope I hang in wait of fading echos
uncertainty haunts my everything
I look into tomorrow and I see nothing...
so tell me how it feels to be me
I've lost so much I cannot recall my identity
I would die for yesterday not caring where I need to go
reshape relationships back into what I used to know
tomorrow is so far and I no longer want to find a replacement for all these pictures that are lost in my mind

Yeah, i know it, i'm über cool for posting lyrics from a _totally_ unknown screamo band, (sarcasm included), but i just stumbled upon the lyrics again, and i thought i wanted to share it with you guys, in case you haven't heard it. (what's the probability?) Anyways, cheers, and have fun!

I Would Set Myself On Fire For You - So This Is Our Home

we cant keep ourselves still
our minds are so far away, from here.
as we dig our toes in the sand, and our bodies touch the cold sea.
see, thats when we say 'this is our home',
so take those family portraits off the walls.
cause thats not who we are.
we know there aint no one coming forth to carry us home.

together, we will walk these roads,
to hell with your streets of gold.
they're no longer real to me

This piece of lyrical masterart is easily one of the most beautiful written ever, imho. Listen to the song, its relaxing and very very nice.

Set Your Goals - Work In Progress

It's a revelation, a moment of clarity,
and I am trapped inside this moment deadlines are left to die
And I guess I am truly free.
My brain was spent I worried as I fell in knee deep
where consequences and circumstances suffocated and I could barely breathe.
And by all means, this rain should be bringing me down.
Seattle is keeping me in tune with just right now
and a song that tends to be so oddly timed.
The city is cold and miserable but I am not.
All we are is all we've started. All could be gone.

SO LET'S BEGIN!
I often wonder if I'll ever finish all I've started, and the answer I have found is NO.
No, I will never finish all that I have started because life is about doing, the process
And not the result. Life is about doing whether you want to or not.

MY LIFE!: A constant work in progress and I wouldn't have it any other way.
Take a look back. Is that what you wanted?
Chances are that it's not what was intended to be, because it's gonna be better than everything.
Everything, you will see, comes together in it's own ironic kind of way, so live in just today.
In my eyes I hold a vision in contradiction of what once existed.

One of my long time favorites. This song is so positive, i just love it. Lyrics says everything, so no long story.
