    I was listening to Poe's "Control" today and the lyrics struck me. Imagine a dub singing this to their Judicial Committee: Don?t you mess with a little girl?s dream
    ?cause she?s liable to grow up mean

    Surprised you to find that I?m laughing?
    You thought that you?d find me in tears
    You thought I?d be crawling the walls
    Like a tiny mosquito and trembling in fear

    Well you may be king for the momentBut I am a queen understand
    And I?ve got your pawns and your bishops
    And castles
    All inside the palm of my hand

    While you were looking the other way
    While you had your eyes closed
    While you were licking your lips
    ?cause I was miserable
    While you were selling your soul
    While you were tearing a hole in me

    I was taking control


    Now I have taken control
    Now I have taken control...

    This is beginning to feel good
    Watching you squirm in your shoes

    A small bead of sweat on your brow
    And a growl in your belly your scared to let through

    You thought you could keep me from loving
    You thought you could feed on my soul
    But while you were busy destroying my life
    What was half in me has become whole

    While you were looking the other way
    While you had your eyes closed
    While you were licking your lips
    ?cause I was miserable
    While you were selling your soul
    While you were tearing a hole in me

    I was taking control

    Now I have taken control
    Now I have taken control...

    So this is how it feels
    To breath in the summer air
    The feel the sand between my toes
    And love inside my ear
    All those things that you taught me to fear
    I?ve got them in my garden now
    And you're not welcome here


    Come a little bit closer
    Let me look at you
    I gave you the benefit
    Of the doubt it?s true
    But keep in mind my darling
    Not every saint is a fool

    While you were looking the other way
    While you had your eyes closed
    While you were licking your lips
    ?cause I was miserable
    While you were selling your soul
    While you were tearing a hole in me

    I was taking control

    Now I have taken control
    Now I have taken control...

    Don?t you mess with me

    Father: there has to be more to life than this, because in our
    Confrontation with a cold cold universe, there is something comical
    To the idea that we can really impose our will on humanity-- power corrupts!

    Daughter :
    This is scaring me

    Father and daughter 2:

    Daughter : ...i live at the end of a 5 and 1/2 minute hallway

    Father:
    And at the end of it all lies of course the final
    Phenomenon of deterioration entropy, which is a predictable
    Disintegrations which the creative life ceases: everything has to fall apart.

    Daughter:
    Why are you always so serious? !

    All the guff at the end with the father and daughter talking I could actually live without, but even that's sort of interesting.

    Marilyn Manson "Fight Song"

    I'm not a slave to a God that doesn't exist

    I'm not a slave to a world that doesn't give a shit

    Also Alice In Chains "Nutshell"

    My gift of self is raped

    My privacy is raked

    And yet I find And yet I find

    Repeating in my head

    If I can't be my own

    I'd feel better dead

    Imogen Heap
    I Megaphone (1998)
    Sweet Religion
    When my body wants to go
    Tell me will my mind and soul
    Live on and on forever
    Am i on another level
    A learning vessel of several
    Lessons to make me more cleverer

    My sweet little religion
    My sweet little religion you mean everything to me
    My sweet little religion
    My sweet little religion how does it feel

    Written in that book of love
    Does it say your name above
    The name by which they call me
    And is it written in liquid red

    'Cause nothing else will do instead for reassuring eternity

    Will you be there when i need you?

    Begin end enemy friend heaven hell sick well
    Truth lies husbands and wives, whisper shout in out in out
    Laughter cry ask reply - good bad happy sad
    Right wrong outcast belong, caged free you and me

    You have the answer to all of these

    This dont really remind me of dubs but what I thought when all the pieces of the puzzle came together.

    Tool- Flood
    Here comes the water.

    All I knew and all I believed
    are crumbling images
    that no longer comfort me.
    I scramble to reach higher ground,
    some order and sanity,
    or something to comfort me.

    So I take what is mine,and hold what is mine,
    suffocate what is mine, and bury what's mine.
    Soon the water will come
    and claim what is mine.
    I must leave it behind,
    and climb to a new place now.

    This ground is not the rock I thought it to be.

    Thought I was high, and free.
    I thought I was there
    divine destiny.

    I was wrong.
    This changes everything.

    The water is rising up on me.
    Thought the sun would come deliver me,
    but the truth has come to punish me instead.

    The ground is breaking down right under me.
    Cleanse and purge me
    in the water.

    Never Be The SameDon't stand around like friends at a funeral
    Eyes to the ground
    It could've been you
    Why do you weep
    For the passing of ages
    You slip with the back of your hand
    You're taking it out on the one you love
    I couldn't believe it

    But we might still survive
    And rise up through the maze
    If you could change your life
    And never be the same

    How long must I wait
    For you to release me
    I pay for each mistake
    While you suffer in silence
    I could still have an easy life
    But the lie ain't worth the living
    Once more will I hear you say

    We might still survive
    And rise up through the maze
    If you could change your life
    And never be the same

    Don't stand around
    Like friends at a funeral
    Eyes to the ground
    Don't suffer in silence

    Coz we might still survive
    And rise up through the maze
    If you could change your life
    And never be the same
    Everytime I hear you
    Never be the same
    And everytime I mess up
    Never be the same

    losing my religion by REM; loved their Out of Time CD

  • Dustin

    Here's a good one, haven't listened to it in a while but the lyrics fit the bill.

    Deep down the abyys
    Desolation awaits me
    Far beyond any light
    Darkness has taken my soul
    From the winds of mayhem
    Comes everlasting death
    An evil omen
    Fallowing me towards the Gates of Hell

    Demon...life forms
    Burning...signs
    Mighty...spirits
    Hear my...roar...

    That was in my death metal phase. Some of the lyrics ring a little true in my thoughts of God though. I listened to some pretty evil stuff after I left. It reminds me of how bad I hated them after leaving, and where I thought I would end up for abandoning what I thought was the true religion. At least now I realize that the JW's are wrong, and I'm not eternally damned for leaving.

    The band is actually called "Demonic Lyrics"

    The sun is a-risin' most definitely
    A new day is comin' people are changin'
    Ain't it beautiful crystal blue persuasion

    Better get ready gonna see the light

    So don't you give up now so easy to find
    Just look to your soul and open your mind

    Crystal blue persuasion, mm-hmm
    It's a new vibration
    Crystal blue persuasion, crystal

    Maybe tomorrow when He looks down
    Every green field and every town
    All of his children every nation
    There'll be peace and good brotherhood

    I was told this was written about the truth book.
