Lyrics that inspire without meaning to

  • One of my favorite bands as a power metal band called Sonata Arctica. I'd not been listening to them very much over the last 6 months, but about a week ago I remembered why I was obsessed with them in the beginning. They're awesome! So today I was listening to their song, Victoria's Secret, and I noticed that it really is an inspirational song, especially the chorus. I'll type out the chorus for y'all:

    Dancing on the path and singing, now you've gone away
    You can reach the goals that you have set from now on, every day
    There is no way you would go back now
    Oh, no, those days have passed
    Life is waiting for the one who loves to live
    And it's not a secret....

    This can apply to so many situations, but it especially hits me as far as weight loss is concerned. It's so true!
  • Aww! Those are some great lyrics! I'll try to think of some favorite motivating lyrics as I listen to my iPod today at work.
  • This is my favorite song EVER!!!!!

    'Anyone'

    VERSE I
    By now you’re sure that everything you do is worthless
    And it drives me crazy, because you know I think you’re beautiful
    And so I wrote this little song of protest
    Against the voices that convinced you you’re forgettable

    CHORUS
    ‘Cause anyone can make believe that everything’s OK
    And you can pretend you’re made of stone, and you can pretend there’s nothing wrong
    Anyone can make believe they don’t care anyway
    any fool can learn to make themselves strong

    VERSE II
    Now you think that you’re pathetic because you bleed so easily
    And you’re wishing were cold and hard like iron
    And you say you’re tired of tryin’ to wear your heart upon your sleeve
    Cause it usually just ends up getting trampled on

    CHORUS

    BRIDGE
    And they say blessed are the ones who live in poverty
    When you’re beaten down and bruised, and you got nothing more to loose
    and blessed are the ones who can’t seem to hide their frailty
    Cause for them, love is much easier to choose

    Verse IV
    So you can keep the myths of inner strength and self-sufficiency
    But give me that suffering heart who’s honest with the pain
    Cause the stronger people always tend to bore me anyway
    And the weak ones - they remind me I’m not alone, I’m not insane

    CHORUS

    LAST CHORUS:
    Anyone can make believe they don’t care anyway
    And you can pretend you’re made of stone, and that nothing ever goes wrong
    Any-one can make believe and take the easy way
    And any fool can learn to make themselves strong
