You gotta swim Swim for your life Swim for the music That saves you When you're not so sure you'll survive You gotta swim Swim when it hurts The whole world is watching You haven't come this far To fall off the earth The currents will pull you Away from your love Just keep your head above I found a tidal wave Begging to tear down the door Memories like bullets They fired at me from a gun Cracking me open now I swim to brighter days In spite of the absence of sun Choking on salt water I'm not giving in You gotta swim You gotta swim For nights that won't end Swim for your family Your mothers your sisters Your brothers your friends You gotta swim For wars without cause Swim for these lost politicians Who don't see their greed is a flaw The currents will pull us Away from our love Just keep your head above I found a tidal wave Begging to tear down the door Memories like bullets They fired at me from a gun Cracking me open now I swim to brighter days In spite of the absence of sun Choking on salt water I'm not giving in I'm not giving in Swim You gotta swim Swim in the dark There's an ocean to drift in Feel the tide shifting away from this war Yeah you gotta swim Don't let yourself sink Just follow the horizon I promise you it's not as far as you think Currents will drag us away from our love Just keep your head above Just keep your head above Swim Just keep your head above Swim Just keep your head above Swim .......................................................................................................................................... Yet again Jack's Mannequin and Andrew McMahon the guy is a genius. |

Looking back at me I see That I never really got it right I never stopped to think of you I'm always wrapped up in Things I cannot win You are the antidote that gets me by Something strong Like a drug that gets me high What I really meant to say Is I'm sorry for the way I am I never meant to be so cold To you I'm sorry about all the lies Maybe in a different light You could see me stand on my own again Cause now i can see You were the antidote that got me by Something strong like a drug that got me high I never meant to be so cold I never really wanted you to see The screwed up side of me that I keep Locked inside of me so deep It always seems to get to me I never really wanted you to go So many things you should have known I guess for me theres just no hope I never meant to be so cold |

A golden oldie... I really like the lyrics (yeah I do like the outsider) The Beatles Fool on the hill Day after day, Alone on a hill, The man with the foolish grin is keeping perfectly still But nobody wants to know him, They can see that he's just a fool, And he never gives an answer, But the fool on the hill, Sees the sun going down, And the eyes in his head, See the world spinning 'round. Well on his way, Head in a cloud, The man with a thousand voices talking perfectly loud But nobody ever hear him, or the sound he appears to make, and he never seems to notice, But the fool on the hill, Sees the sun going down, And the eyes in his head, See the world spinning 'round. And nobody seems to like him, they can tell what he wants to do, and he never shows his feelings, But the fool on the hill, Sees the sun going down, And the eyes in his head, See the world spinning 'round. Ooh, ooh, Round and round and round. And he never listens to them, He knows that they're the fools They don't like him, The fool on the hill Sees the sun going down, And the eyes in his head, See the world spinning 'round. Ooh, Round and round and round |

Never heard of them, from what you posted they seem to be quite deep. Is there a message in each of their songs do you think, or is it just down to how each individual interprets it? |

Both. He will tell you enough so you can understand why he is singing them but he won't tell you so much that you can't let the song have its own meaning to you, thats the most important thing about his music. Was gutted that I missed them coming to England. Did two shows one in London and one in Manchester and couldn't get tickets for either they sold out so fast.

I hurt myself today to see if I still feel I focus on the pain the only thing that's real the needle tears a hole the old familiar sting try to kill it all away but I remember everything what have I become? my sweetest friend everyone I know goes away in the end and you could have it all my empire of dirt I will let you down I will make you hurt I wear this crown of thorns upon my liar's chair full of broken thoughts I cannot repair beneath the stains of time the feelings disappear you are someone else I am still right here what have I become? my sweetest friend everyone I know goes away in the end and you could have it all my empire of dirt I will let you down I will make you hurt if I could start again a million miles away I would keep myself I would find a way |

This song nicely sums up how I feel about the world on a bad day. It really comes remarkably close Tool The grudge Wear your grudge like a crown of negativity. Calculate what we will or will not tolerate. Desperate to control all and everything. Unable to forgive your scarlet lettermen. Clutch it like a cornerstone. otherwise it all comes down. Justify denials and grip it to the lonesome end. Clutch it like a cornerstone. otherwise it all comes down. Terrified of being wrong. ultimatum prison cell. Saturn ascends, choose one or ten. hang on or be humbled again. Clutch it like a cornerstone. otherwise it all comes down. Justify denials and grip it to the lonesome end. Saturn ascends, comes round again. Saturn ascends, the one, the ten. ignorant to the damage done. Wear your grudge like a crown of negativity. Calculate what you will or will not tolerate. Desperate to control all and everything. Unable to forgive your scarlet lettermen. Wear the grudge like a crown. desperate to control. Unable to forgive. and were sinking deeper. Defining, confining, sinking deeper. controlling, defining, and were sinking Deeper. Saturn comes back around to show you everything Lets you choose what you will not see and then Drags you down like a stone or lifts you up again Spits you out like a child, light and innocent. Saturn comes back around. lifts you up like a child or Drags you down like a stone to Consume you till you choose to let this go. Choose to let this go. Give away the stone. let the oceans take and transmutate this cold and fated Anchor. Give away the stone. let the waters kiss and transmutate these leaden grudges Into gold. |

Lyrics that keep me going sometimes: I'm Gonna be Ready - Yolanda Adams Sight beyond what I see You know what's best for me Prepare my mind, prepare my heart For whatever comes, I'm gonna be ready Strength to pass any test I feel like I'm so blessed With you in control I can't go wrong Cos I always know I'm gonna be ready |

There's a lot that I don't know There's a lot that I'm still learning But I think I'm letting go To find my body is still burning And you hold me down And you got me living in the past Come on and pick me up Somebody clear the wreckage from the blast And I'm alive And I don't need a witness To know that I survived I'm not looking for forgiveness I just need light I need light in the dark as I search for the resolution And the bars are finally closed So I try living in the moment 'Til the moment it just froze And I felt sick and so alone I can hear the sound Of your voice still ringing in my ear I'm going underground But you'll find me anywhere I feel That I'm alive And I don't need a witness To know that I survived I'm not looking for forgiveness I just need light I need light in the dark as I search for the resolution I need light in the dark as I search for the resolution You hold me down You hold me down I'm alive And I don't need a witness To know that I survived I'm not looking for forgiveness I'm alive And I don't need a witness To know that I survived I'm not looking for forgiveness I just need light I need light in the dark as I search for the resolution I need light in the dark as I search for the resolution I need light, I need light ..................................................................................................................................... Guess who? This was probably about when he finally overcome Leukemia although from all the interveiws I have seen he won't confirm or deny it. Still there is enough for you to make your own meaning.
