Suicidal Dream Lyrics

I dream about how it's going to end
Approaching me quickly
Leaving a life of fear
I only want my mind to be clear
People making fun of me
For no reason but jealousy
I fantasize about my death
I'll kill myself from holding my breath
My Suicidal Dream
Voices telling me what to do
My suicidal dream
I'm sure you will get yours too

Help me comfort me
Stop me from feeling what I'm feeling now,
The rope is here,
Now I'll find a use,
I'll kill myself,
I'll put my head in a noose

My suicidal dream,
Voices telling me what to do,
My suicidal dream,
I'm sure you will get yours too,

Dreamin' about my death, dream,
Suicidal, suicidal, suicidal dream,
I'm suicidal,
Suicidal dream

Hurt Me Tomorrow Lyrics

This ain't a good time
But when is it ever
I know the perfect time
And baby that's never
So don't you dare leave me now
Throw my heart on the ground
'Cause tonight ain't the night for sorrow

But you can Hurt Me Tomorrow, okay
It's on you,
Uh hu uh hu, oh yeah, okay

I used to be a strange fruit, Billy Holiday
Then you got me by my roots, took the pain away
I tried to question our direction, that was my mistake
I had to ask you where we going baby, Marvin Gaye
I used to do it like Sinatra, do it my way
Now I'm the Fugee of my Lauren Hill that got away
I though we had an at last love, Etta James
But now I'm wondering

If what I heard it's true
Then I know what you came to do
Love may be blind but I'm looking at you
So before you pull the trigger
Did you ever consider

This ain't a good time
But when is it ever
I know the perfect time
And baby that's never
So don't you dare leave me now
Throw my heart on the ground
'Cause tonight ain't the night for sorrow

But you can hurt me tomorrow
You can hurt me, (you can hurt me)
You can hurt me, (you can hurt me)
You can hurt me, (you can hurt me)
You can hurt me, you can hurt me tomorrow
You can hurt me tomorrow, you can hurt me tomorrow
Girl save it for tomorrow

If you can take a rain check on a stormy night
Then I will love you till you're old, like you Betty White
You can hurt me any other day, pick a fight
But not on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday night
And not the weekend either 'cause I got a song to write
I promise I'mma hear you out when the time is right
Let's have a talk, August 7th, 2099
At your place or mine?

This ain't a good time
But when is it ever
I know the perfect time
And baby that's never
So don't you dare leave me now
Throw my heart on the ground
'Cause tonight ain't the night for sorrow

But you can hurt me tomorrow

Hey! Why you turn around and walk away
I know you got a lot to say
And I really wanna talk about it
Just not today, not today

Is there an instrument to measure all the heart ache in
A looking glass so we can see where all the magic went
I need a button, I can push so we can start again
'Cause girl you bring me to my knees, Nancy Kerrigan

This ain't a good time
But when is it ever
I know the perfect time
And baby that's never
So don't you dare leave me now
Throw my heart on the ground
'Cause tonight ain't the night for sorrow

But you can hurt me tomorrow
You can hurt me, (you can hurt me)
You can hurt me, (you can hurt me)
You can hurt me, (you can hurt me)
You can hurt me, you can hurt me tomorrow
You can hurt me tomorrow, you can hurt me tomorrow
But girl save it for tomorrow

Scars Lyrics

I tear my heart open
I sew myself shut
My weakness is
That I care too much
My Scars remind us
That the past is real
I tear my heart open
Just to feel

Drunk and I'm feeling down
And I just want to be alone
I'm pissed cause you came around
Why don't you just go home
'Cause you channel all your pain
And I can't help you go fix yourself
Your making me insane
All I can say is

I tear my heart open
I sew myself shut
My weakness is
That I care too much
Our scars remind us
That the past is real
I tear my heart
Open just to feel

I tried to help you once
Against my own advice
I saw you going down
But you never realized
That your drowning in the water
So I offered you my hand
Compassion's in my nature
Tonight is our last stand

I tear my heart open
I sew myself shut
My weakness is
That I care too much
Our scars remind us
That the past is real
I tear my heart
Open just to feel

I'm drunk and I'm feeling down
And I just want to be alone
You shouldn't ever came around
Why don't you just go home?
'Cause your drowning in the water
And I tried to grab your hand
And I left my heart open
But you didn't understand
But you didn't understand
You fix yourself

I can't help you fix yourself
But at least I can say I tried
I'm sorry but I gotta move on with my own life
I can't help you fix yourself
But at least I can say I tried
I'm sorry but I gotta move on with my own life

I tear my heart open
I sew myself shut
My weakness is that
I care too much
Our scars remind us
That the past is real
I tear my heart
Open just to feel

I tear my heart open
I sew myself shut
My weakness is that
I care too much
Our scars remind us
That the past is real
I tear my heart open
Just to feel

Scars

Papa Roach lead singer Jacoby Shaddix says that this is one of the most revealing songs he's written. Shaddix has always been prone to alcoholism and self-destruction, and this song finds him addressing his wife, Kelly, who he married in 1997. Throughout their marriage, he has fought his demons, which have wreaked havoc in their relationship. They always get through it, but sometimes he feels that he needs to move on, for her sake as well as his.

Pouring your heart out like this is not easy for a songwriter, but for Shaddix it's an essential part of his healing process, and it's also how he connects with the fans. In our 2015 interview , he explained: "The more we dig deep and the more I reveal about what I'm really going through in my life, the deeper the connection is with our fans. And 'Scars' is one of those songs."

The song deals with getting tired of trying to fix everyone else's problems, but having a hard time because you care so much. You can't stop caring, so you tear yourself open for the people you care about, and then heal to get ready for the next time you have to do it. And then, at one point you still care, but you just can't do it anymore. You have to tell them, "You fix yourself," and that is the hardest part.

The first version of the video was directed by Steve Murashige and leaned heavily on computer generated effects and compositing. This clip proved a little too "artistic," so another video was made, this time eschewing effects for acting, with performance footage of the band intercut with Shaddix acting out scenes of domestic disturbance with the actress Taylor Cole, who at the time was on the TV series Summerland. She later appeared on the shows CSI: Miami and Heroes.

Lead singer Jacoby Shaddix built this song around Hannibal Lecter's lament that "Our scars remind me that the past is real" in the movie Red Dragon. Anthony Hopkins, who portrayed Hannibal, says that when he prepared for this role he did not study serial killers, but cats. If you watch him closely in Silence Of The Lambs it is evident not just in the way he moves his body but also the way he blinks his eyes. He says if you pay careful attention you will see the feline quality in every scene he is in.

Shaddix explained the band's name in an interview with Spin magazine: "We came up with the name back in 1993 when we were like sixteen years old - young and dumb. At the time we were listening to lots of bands with funky names - stuff like Mr. Bungle, Primus, and the Red Hot Chili Peppers. We were also playing weird spastic funk-punk like they were, so we thought we should have a name that fit in with that vibe. At first we wanted to name the band Papa Gato after [a nickname for] Poncho Sanchez, the Latin percussionist. But then I thought, what if we named it after my grandfather - his last name is Roach. The other guys were like, 'You mean roach like as in weed?' But I also thought Papa Roach had a dirty, grimy sense of longevity that really represented where we were as people at the time. Roaches last, you know? The name still fits."

Your Hallelujah Lyrics

Winter's cold, in the light
Somebody's waiting
Feel the warmth, safe and sound now
All the joy, all the fears
You can let go now
Watch the snow gently fall down

Someone needs you
Someone loves you
Hallelujah
Now you're coming home
Hallelujah
Angels calling out to you
You can hear them sing Your Hallelujah

Silver sky, take my hand
Just let me hold you
When you're here you'll be alright

Someone needs you
Someone loves you
Hallelujah
Now you're coming home
Hallelujah
Angels calling out to you
You can hear them sing your hallelujah

All of our memories get frozen in time
But I'll keep them here on the inside
Every December your star lights the sky
Someone needs you
Someone loves you

Someone needs you
Someone loves you
Hallelujah
Now you're coming home
Hallelujah
Angels calling out to you
You can hear them sing
You can hear them sing
You can hear them singing your hallelujah

Your Hallelujah

Leona Lewis wrote this song with Jon Levine, Autumn Rowe and Lauren Christy, one of three new tracks she co-penned for the Christmas, With Love album. She told Digital Spy it is probably the least festive of the tripartite of tunes: "That was not really coming from a Christmas place at first," she said. "We kind of were just sitting down to write and then it kind of came. I think it's the least Christmassy, but it still has that feel in the track."

That Girl Lyrics

There was a girl I knew
Who always wanted to
Be the one to stand out from the crowd
Always believed that she
Was gonna live her dreams
That what went down was gonna come around

For all the doubters, non-believers
The cynical that once were dreamers
One of these days you'll open up your eyes
And you'll realize

That Girl was a one-time teenage drama queen
A hyped-up everyday wannabe
But she'll have changed her destiny
Now she's a somebody

That girl was a wild child dreamer
But she'll find herself
'Cause she believes in nothing else
Then you'll look back and you won't believe
That girl was me

Armed with an attitude that she knows how to use
She's gonna get there any way she can
Now she knows what she wants
No one is gonna stop her
Nothing's ever gonna hold her back

For all the doubters, non-believers
The cynical that once were dreamers
One of these days you'll know that you were wrong
Who would've known?

That girl was a one-time teenage drama queen
A hyped-up everyday wannabe
But she'll have changed her destiny
Now she's a somebody

That girl was a wild child dreamer
But she'll find herself
'Cause she believes in nothing else
Then you'll look back and you won't believe
That girl was me

Life isn't work with art
You gotta paint it colorful
Can make it anything you want
Don't ever stick to any rules

You don't need a high IQ
To succeed in what you do
You just gotta have no doubt
Just believe in yourself

Doubters, non-believers
Once were her dreamers
One of these days you'll open up your eyes
And you'll realize

That girl was a one-time teenage drama queen
A hyped-up everyday wannabe
But she'll have changed her destiny
Now she's a somebody

That girl was a wild child dreamer
But she'll find herself
'Cause she believes in nothing else
Then you'll look back and you won't believe
That girl was me

That girl was a one-time teenage drama queen
A hyped-up everyday wannabe
But she'll have changed her destiny
Now she's a somebody

The Love Club Lyrics

I'm in a clique but I want out
It's not the same as when I was punched
In the old days there was enough
The card games and ease with the bitter salt of blood
I was in but I want out
My mother's love is choking me
I'm sick of words that hang above my head
What about the kid? It's time the kid got free

Be a part of The Love Club
Everything will glow for you
You'll get punched for the love club
For the love club

I joined the club and it's all on
There are fights for being my best friend
And the girls get their claws out
There's something about hanging out with the wicked kids
Take the pill make it too ill
The other day I forgot my old address
I'm sitting pretty on the throne
There's nothing more I want
Except to be alone

Be a part of the love club
Everything will glow for you
You'll get punched for the love club
For the love club

Your clothes are soaked and you don't know where to go
So drop your chin and take yourself back home
And roll out your maps and papers
Find out your hiding places again
The only problem that I got with the club
Is how you're severed from the people who watched you grow up
When you're a member go on your great adventure again
They will be waiting at the end

Be a part of the love club
Everything will glow for you
You'll get punched for the love club
For the love club

The Love Club

This bouncy track finds Lorde singing about the all-consuming nature of friendship. The song was released as the title track of the teenage singer's debut EP, which was made available digitally in March 2013, and on CD two months later.

Lorde initially made her The Love Club EP available for free in November 2012 on SoundCloud. She explained this was because "being teenager, and not having a credit card—I mean, who has a credit card at 16?!—I just thought people my age would appreciate it."

Lorde donated the song to Songs For The Philippines, a charity compilation album with all profits going to the Philippines Red Cross following the November 2013 Typhoon Haiyan disaster.

Provider Lyrics

When the first men on the ground were laid
I wouldn’t fall under the mad skirts
Onward forth into a land of gold
Swords were drawn upon the road

Provider, carry on
Far from the golden age
Follow me down a fox hole in the ground
Don’t delay

Come morning, miles along
Gathered round, those remained
With and a cry for the land
Joy to gain

Winter came and I was old and alone
Time set’s gone under the mad skirts
Onward further to a land unknown
With only hope of the sea’s ago

Provider, carry on
Far from the golden age
Follow me down a fox hole in the ground
Don’t delay

Provider, carry on
Far from the golden age
Follow me down a fox hole in the ground
Don’t delay

Come morning, miles along
Gathered round, those remained
With and a cry for the land
Joy to gain

In late 2012 Midlake's vocalist and chief songwriter Tom Smith announced that he was leaving the band. This song acts as a farewell. "'Provider' is about Tim, and my feelings towards him," guitarist and new singer Eric Pulido told The Independent. "It basically says to carry on, and that still I'm going to defend you and protect you. Even though I don't necessarily agree, I still love you, and support what you want to do. What I hoped was that it was a loving send-off."

You don't understand, you don't understand
What you do to me when you hold his hand
We were meant to be but a twist of fate
Made it so you had to walk away

'Cause we're on fire
We are on fire
We're on fire now
Yeah, we're on fire
We are on fire
We're on fire now

I don't care what people say when we're together
You know I wanna be the one to hold you when you sleep
I just want it to be you and I forever
I know you wanna leave
So c'mon baby be with me
So Happily

It's four a.m. and I know that you're with him
I wonder if he knows that I touched your skin
And if he feels my traces in your hair
Sorry, love, but I don't really care

'Cause we're on fire
We are on fire
We're on fire now
Yeah, we're on fire
We are on fire
We're on fire now

I don't care what people say when we're together
You know I wanna be the one to hold you when you sleep
I just want it to be you and I forever
I know you wanna leave
So c'mon baby be with me
So happily

So happily
One, two, three, four!

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

I don't care what people say when we're together
You know I wanna be the one to hold you when you sleep
I just want it to be you and I forever
I know you wanna leave

So happily

I don't care what people say when we're together
You know I wanna be the one to hold you when you sleep

Happily

Harry Styles co-wrote this folksy Mumford & Sons influenced track with Savan Kotecha and Carl Falk. Kotecha and Falk, together with Rami Yacoub, penned many of One Direction's early hits including "What Makes You Beautiful" and "Live While We're Young," but this was the only song they contributed to on Midnight Memories.

Speaking to E! News, Harry said that he drew inspiration from his own life when penning lyrics for Midnight Memories. "When you're writing songs, it's impossible to not draw on personal experiences, whether it be, you know, traveling or girls or anything," he admitted. "That's the amazing thing about music, there's a song for every emotion. Can you imagine a world with no music? It would suck."

Well, have you ever lived down in the ghetto?
Have you ever felt the cold wind blow?
Well, if you don't know what I mean
Won't you stand up and scream?
'Cause there's Things Goin' On that you don't know

Too many lives they've spent across the ocean
Too much money been spent upon the moon
Well, until they make it right
I hope they never sleep at night
They better make some changes
And do it soon

Well, they're goin ruin the air we breathe
Lord have mercy
They're gonna ruin us all, by and by
I'm telling all you beware
I don't think they really care
I think they just sit up there
And just get high

Well, have you ever lived down in the ghetto?
Have you ever felt the cold wind blow?
Well, if you don't know what I mean
Won't you stand up and scream?
'Cause there's things goin' on that you don't know

Well, if you don't know what I mean

Things Goin' On

This is Ronnie Van Zant's protest song. Instead of writing from the perspective of the war, it is written from the perspective of the government.

An acoustic version of this song is featured on the album Endangered Species sung by Johnny Van Zant.

This song, track one, side two, of their debut album (pronounced 'l?h-'nérd 'skin-'nérd), was part of Lynyrd Skynyrd's initial audition tapes. Then-producer Al Kooper brought them all into the studio to record every original song they knew to live-to-two-track, so he could then pick and choose from that to make the first album. However, it turned out that all 14 songs were top-notch, so Kooper used everything that didn't go on the first album for either B-sides for single's releases or on later albums.
Kooper's initial work with the band was sometimes a power struggle. In his memoir, Backstage Passes and Backstabbing Bastards , Kooper mentions how they broke in Billy Powell, a keyboardist with training in classical music. While the classical music training gave him a rich, textured sound, he tended to play too much with his left hand, drowning out the guitars. Kooper got so frustrated trying to break him of this habit that he took to tying Powell's left hand to the piano bench during takes!

Through The Dark Lyrics

You tell me that you're sad and lost your way
You tell me that your tears are here to stay
But I know you're only hiding
And I just wanna see you

You tell me that you're hurt and you're in pain
And I can see your head is held in shame,
But I just wanna see you smile again
See you smile again

But don't burn out
Even if you scream and shout
It'll come back to you
And I'll be here for you

Oh I will carry you over
Fire and water for your love
And I will hold you closer
Hope your heart is strong enough
When the night is coming down on you
We will find a way Through The Dark

I wish that I could take you to the stars
I'd never let you fall and break your heart
And if you wanna cry or fall apart
I'll be there to hold you

You tell me that you hurt, it's all in vain
But I can see your heart can love again
And I remember you laughing
So let's just laugh again

But don't burn out
Even if you scream and shout
It'll come back to you, back to you

Oh I will carry you over
Fire and water for your love
And I will hold you closer
Hope your heart is strong enough
When the night is coming down on you
We will find a way through the dark

And you don't need
You don't need to worry
And you will see it's easy to be loved
I know you wanna be loved

Oh I will carry you over
Fire and water for your love

Oh I will carry you over
Fire and water for your love
And I will hold you closer
Hope your heart is strong enough
When the night is coming down on you
We will find a way through the dark

Oh I will carry you over
Fire and water for your love
And I will hold you closer
Hope your heart is strong enough
When the night is coming down
We will find a way through the dark

Through The Dark

Liam Payne and Louis Tomlinson co-penned this folk-style, drum-driven inspirational anthem with their frequent collaborator Jamie Scott along with Toby Smith, who was the keyboardist and co-songwriter for the British Pop-Funk band Jamiroquai from 1992 up to 2002.

The five One Direction members contributed lyrics to 12 of the 14 songs on the standard edition of Midnight Memories (and an additional three on the 18-track deluxe.) Louis Tomlinson has the most credits of the group, with nine. He told The Mail On Sunday's Weekend magazine about how his songwriting has developed. "At first it was really hard: you sit in a room with writers asking you about your love life and stuff like that, and they start to piece together a song," he said. "But you keep on doing it and we've written more and more."

"This album is definitely more rock, more of us," Louis continued. "Writing the songs ourselves – that's the thing that makes you start to feel you deserve to be where you are, not all the other crazy stuff. We do look at other bands – even people like Take That – and see what it was that made them. Whatever else, it's the songs that are going to last, so that's much more of a focus for us."

Louis explained to host Ryan Seacrest how instead of writing as a five piece, the group often splits up. "We often break off in pairs and that's kind of the way that we do it," he said. "It often gets a bit crowded if everyone's in the same room."
