Music Theme Songs

What is your theme song and why? Who is it by? Any particular lyrics?

Oi! Too many questions ...

 

Well this is a song that got me through being made fun of because of being religious @_@x (they use to call me Rabi Robbie in elementary school... but I didn't mind because I'm a Jesus Freak!!!)

"Jesus Freak"

by dc Talk
from their 1995 album, Jesus Freak

Separated I cut my self clean
From a past that comes back in my darkest of dreams
Been apprehended by a spiritual force
And a grace that replaced all the me I've divorced

I saw a man with a tattoo on his big fat belly
It wiggled like marmalade jelly
It took me awhile to catch what it said
Cause I had to match the rhythm of his belly with my head
"Jesus Saves" is what it raved in a typical tattoo green
He stood on a box in the middle of the city
And claimed he had a dream

{chorus}:
What will people think when they hear that I'm a Jesus freak
What will people do when they find that it's true
I don't really care if they label me a Jesus freak
There ain't no disguising the truth

Kamikaze my death is gain
I've been marked by my Maker
A peculiar display
The high and lofty they see me as weak
Cause I won't live and die for the power they seek

There was a man from the desert with naps in his head
The sand that he walked was also his bed
The words that he spoke made the people assume
There wasn't too much left in the upper room
With skins on his back and hair on his face
They thought he was strange by the locusts he ate
The Pharisee's tripped when they heard him speak
Until the king took the head of this Jesus freak

{repeat chorus}

People say I'm strange, does it make me a stranger
That my best friend was born in a manger
People say I'm strange, does it make me a stranger
That my best friend was born in a manger

{repeat chorus twice}

What will people think
[What will people think]
What will people do
[What will people do]
I don't really care
[What else can I say]
There ain't no disguising the truth
[Jesus is the way]

 

that guy you are so totally awesome!!lol *random thought* but really thats a GREAT song luv it~~as for my theme song weeeell thats a toughie and at the moment i really have no idea hmmm dancing queen comes to mind though....
Artist: Abba
Album: Gold
Title: Dancing Queen


You can dance, you can jive, having the time of your life
See that girl, watch that scene, dig in the Dancing Queen

Friday night and the lights are low
Looking out for the place to go
Where they play the right music, getting in the swing
You come in to look for a King
Anybody could be that guy
Night is young and the music's high
With a bit of rock music, everything is fine
You're in the mood for a dance
And when you get the chance...

You are the Dancing Queen, young and sweet, only seventeen
Dancing Queen, feel the beat from the tambourine
You can dance, you can jive, having the time of your life
See that girl, watch that scene, dig in the Dancing Queen

You're a teaser, you turn 'em on
Leave them burning and then you're gone
Looking out for another, anyone will do
You're in the mood for a dance
And when you get the chance...

You are the Dancing Queen, young and sweet, only seventeen
Dancing Queen, feel the beat from the tambourine
You can dance, you can jive, having the time of your life
See that girl, watch that scene, dig in the Dancing Queen

ooo yeah thats right boogie down *begins to dance all disco-ish* heeheehee:dizzy2:

 

Well, I have quite a few. Here's a brief list to give an idea:
Outside - Staind
"I'm on the outside, I'm looking in. And I can see through you, see your true colours. And inside you're ugly, ugly like me. I can see through you, see to the real you."
My thoughts on many of the people I'm forced to deal with these days.

Until It Sleeps - Metallica
"So tear me open, but beware; there's things inside without a care. And the pain still shakes me, so hold me until it sleeps."
That whole song works on so many levels.

Fade - Staind

"I try to breathe
Memories overtaking me
I try to face them but
the thought is too
Much to conceive

I only know that I can change
Everything else just stays the same
So now I step out of the darkness
That my life became 'cause

I just needed someone to talk to
You were just too busy with yourself
You were never there for me to
Express how I felt
I just stuffed it down
Now I'm older and I feel like
I could let some of this anger fade
But it seems the surface
I am scratching
Is the bed that I have made

So where were you
When all this I was going through
You never took the time to ask me
Just what you could do"

Ogre Battle - Queen
I'm a D&D nerd. What more can I say?

There are others, but I'll just give more info when I have a definite choice.

Here's an idea. For those of you who know me, what do you think (honestly, now)?

 

So I managed to reach the conclusion that my theme song is one by Crown Jewels. Now the only question is which one. Last Confession comes to mind, as does Tax Free, and Your Quest.
Here are the lyrics for Last confession and a couple of lines from Your Quest, enjoy ^ ^

last confession

woke up at six a.m.
infommercial screaming at me
i sat up in my clothes again
with everything still dreaming at me
i've got to stop this ritual
of getting drunk and dodging ghosts
forgive me, my sordid whims
I always hurt the ones who love me most

this could be my last confession

i was talking high, searching low
for the answer in disguise
with a smile that was hurting so
i kept myself anesthetized
everybody's weak somewhere and
man i ain't too proud to share
i’m right here, right or wrong
I got no halo, you knew this all along

and you come with your blind justice
i trust you more than i trust myself

this could be my last confession, kiss the wasted days goodbye
this could be my last confession, you could be the reason why
this could be

‘cause i'm sick of walking these dirty streets looking to cop
and i'm sick of looking at jails and judges and cops
and i'm sick and tired of being sick and tired of hearing myself complain

this could be my last confession, kiss the wasted days goodbye
this could be my last confession, you could be the reason why
you could be my new obsession, this could be my last confession

your quest

and then the sun
came to tear my eyes slowly
cause you ain't the one
another fantasy disowned me
i can be stone
i got to slip out light & ghostly
back in the sun
where your stormy moods won't know me

 

Those are some sweet lyrics. Maybe I'll have to check a few of the songs posted here out ...

 

oooo seraphim good choice i love that song teehee and bravo gnz for some metallica and queen lol good job as for ak1t0 i have never heard them... oh well ill shut up now ciao

 

REAL MAN by Martin Sexton

In a workin' man's dream. I found my simple truth
There in the dark on the top of my roof
As the city's blue sound swept up from down under
Heat lightening flashed and got me to wonder
Are the troubles that life has seen fit to give me
There to regret or there to remind me?
I'm real... I'm a real man.

For so many years I believed I was broken
So the medicine sweet and the leaves I was smoking
Told me I was strong, righteous and firm
But only if I comply and stay in the terms
With the deal made between weakness and shame
To shelter me from the price of my pain
I'm real... I'm a real man, oh yes I am.

And I'll do everything a man possibly can
To make a difference
I'll save my soul if you give me the chance
I'll rectify my dreams if you let me see my way clear

As I thank my higher power for all that she's done
I sing to the water towers and to the rising sun
For every woman or car crash that ever broke me in two
For showing me that there's always a way through
And that I'm a real man, oh yes I am.

God, I love Marty's music. I'm going to his show on the 13th. WOOHOO!! For those curious:


FIND OUT ABOUT MARTY AND HIS MUSIC!!!

 

Sweating Bullets by Megadeth.

Hello me...Meet the real me.
And my misfits way of life.
A dark black past is my
Most valued possession.
Hindsight is always 20-20,
But looking back it's still a bit fuzzy.
Speak of mutually assured destruction?
Nice story...Tell it to Reader's Digest!!!

/Chorus/
Feeling paranoid
True enemy or false friend?
Anxiety's attacking me, and
My air is getting thin.
I'm in trouble for the things
I haven't got to yet.
I'm chomping at the bit, and my
Palms are getting wet, sweating bullets.

Hello me...It's me again.
You can subdue, but never tame me.
It gives me a migraine headache
Thinking down to your level.
Yea, just keep on thinking it's my fault
And stay an inch or two outta kicking distance.
Mankind has got to know
His limitations.

/Chorus/
Feeling claustrophobic,
Like the walls are closing in.
Blood stains on my hands and
I don't know where I've been.
I'm in trouble for the things
I haven't got to yet.
I'm sharpening the axe and my
Palms are getting wet, sweating bullets.

Well, me...it's nice talking to myself,
A credit to dementia.
Some day you too will know my pain,
And smile its blacktooth grin.
If the war inside my head
Won't take a day off I'll be dead.
My icy fingers claw your back,
Here I come again.

/Chorus/

Feeling paranoid
True enemy or false friend?
Anxiety's attacking me
And my air is getting thin
Feeling claustrophobic,
Like the walls are closing in.
Blood stains on my hands and
I don't know where I've been
Once you committed me
Now you've acquitted me
Claiming validity
For your stupidity
I'm chomping at the bit
I'm sharpening the axe
Here I come again, whoa!
Sweating bullets

DrunkLeprachaun; Some day you too will know my pain, and smile it's Black Tooth Grin.

 

wow! i know almost all the songs above, and I think I especially liked the lyrics for "Jesus Freak"...I never knew you were religious, that guy!! I'm a Christian too, but I haven't heard all too many Christian songs. I love all the songs by Avalon! and I really like Dancing Queen as well (by A Teens).
I think my favorites are "Only Hope" by Mandy Moore (don't really like her personally but I love the song), some songs by Michelle Tumes (don't know the titles! Sachiko does tho..), and more Japanese songs, like "Winner" (i dunno the artist...does someone know?), "Get Along" - Megumi Hashibara, and...u get the point; i could go on......

 

Its time for me to add a new theme song. The song is Tax Free and its by Crown Jewels(who else?)

I'll be fine don't you worry 'bout me
I just bought some wine and cigarettes
I ain't worked a day in weeks
got nothing to hide from the I.R.S.

So I just wake up on the floor
I can't take New York anymore
I got nothing here and I don't even care
'cause I got a tax free future down in
Delaware

It's as good a place as any to live like a
bum
They got one arm bandits in the
cumberland farms
I'm gonna give up love, gonna give up
art
put a white trash picket fence around
my heart

so I'll just start it all again
it costs too much in the state I'm in
I won't shave my scruff or wash my
greasy hair
these luxuries will be tax free down in
Delaware

If I win my new State's lottery
I'm gonna buy me a steak dinner and a
half baked plan
when I return to Soho with cash to burn

I'm gonna open up a gallery with no
velvet ropes, no wanna be's

I'll be fine dont you worry 'bout me
I got my wine and cigarettes
I ain't written a thing in weeks
I'm a big joke to the New York press

So I still wake up on the floor
I'm just an aging freelance *****
don't wanna die here in this den of
despair
there's always death and taxes
but no tax down in Delaware.

 

Theme Song #1: "Falling for the First Time" by BNL

I'm so cool, too bad I'm a loser
I'm so smart, too bad I can't get anything figured out
I'm so brave, too bad I'm a baby
I'm so fly, that's probably why it
Feels just like I'm falling for the first time

I'm so green, it's really amazing
I'm so clean, too bad I can't get all the dirt off of me.
I'm so sane, it's driving me crazy
It's so strange, I can't believe it
Feels just like I'm falling for the first time

Anyone perfect must be lying, anything easy has its cost
Anyone plain can be lovely, anyone loved can be lost
What if I lost my direction? What if I lost sense of time?
What if I nursed this infection? Maybe the worst is behind
It feels just like I'm falling for the first time
It feels just like I'm falling for the first time

I'm so chill, no wonder it's freezing
I'm so still, I just can't keep my fingers out of anything
I'm so thrilled to finally be failing
I'm so done, turn me over cause it
Feels just like I'm falling for the first time

Anything plain can be lovely, anything loved can be lost
Maybe I lost my direction, what if our love is the cost?
Anyone perfect must be lying, anything easy has its cost
Anyone plain can be lovely, anyone loved can be lost
What if I lost my direction? What if I lost sense of time?
What if I nursed this infection? Maybe the worst is behind

 

Theme Song #2 "America" ~ Paul Simon

" Let us be lovers,
We'll marry our fortunes together.
I've got some real estate
Here in my bag."
So we bought a pack of cigarettes,
And Mrs. Wagner's pies,
And walked off
To look for America.

"Kathy," I said,
As we boarded a Greyhound in Pittsburgh,
"Michigan seems like a dream to me now.
It took me four days
To hitchhike from Saginaw.
I've come to look for America."

Laughing on the bus,
Playing games with the faces,
She said the man in the gabardine suit
Was a spy.
I said, "Be careful,
His bow tie is really a camera."

"Toss me a cigarette,
think there's one in my raincoat."
"We smoked the last one
An hour ago."
So I looked at the scenery,
She read her magazine;
And the moon rose over an open field.

"Kathy, I'm lost," I said,
Though I knew she was sleeping.
"I'm empty and aching and
I don't know why."

Counting the cars
On the New Jersey Turnpike.
They've all come
To look for America,
All come to look for America,
All come to look for America.

~*~

The First song just describes my life to a tee. The end of my perfectionism, my own fears about impending doom...

The second?It's about people who want to find themselves in New York City. Coincidence?

~Lady Aoi

 

Another one eh? Hmm... you might not like it.

Good Friends and a Bottle Of Pills by Pantera.

I ****ed your girlfriend last night.
While you snored and drooled, I ****ed your love.
She called me Daddy. And I called her baby when I
Smacked her ***. I called her sugar when I ate
Her alive till daylight. And I slept with her all
Over me, from forehead to ribcage I dripper her ***.
Sometimes I thought you might be spying, living out some
Brash fantasy, but no. You were knocked out. But we were
All knocked out you know. In a way
I'm losing what's left of my mother****ing mind,
I serve too many masters.
We didn't know you'd break the bottle that the magic
Came in to use those jagged shards to slit our wrists
And neck. And you'd do it too, you're that kind of dude.
But you wouldn't know what you were doing because
I didn't, your girlfriend could have been a burn
Victim, an amputee, a dead body. But god damn I wanted
To ****.
I ****ing told you, I'm losing my ****ing mind,
I'm serving too many ****ing masters.
I ****ing told you, I'm losing it, every ****ing piece of my mother****ing mind, you ****!
I told you. I told you mother****er.

Pretty much sums up my mood half the time.

 

oh my!! i think that you need a hug *hugs* ^.^

 

Remind me to play that one on my guitar next time I see you.

 

^^; Lemme see… The TV sized version of The Lost Blue Skies is me when I'm depressed.
Lyrics (TV size):
Don't give me my freedom out of pity.
Unlike back in those days,
I don't have the confidence to fly very well,
So I'll stay in my birdcage for now.
I WANNA FLY AWAY
Until the lost blue skies
I'll keep singing for you…

And Kagayaki is very special to me, because when I read the translation, I was feeling terrible. *SNIFF*
Lyrics:
Back-to-back with you,
I want to see what it'd be like
If your heartbeat
And my heartbeat overlapped.

Even if this song I sing to myself
Is different,
I'm sure the rhythm
Is the same.

Hey,
The broken knee, the scraped cheek--
Dragging these heavy shadows along,
We have a road that leads us home, don't you think?

Hey,
Surely one day, everything will be broken,
And even if there comes a day
When even the stars vanish...

...I'll continue to gaze
At the other side of the distant universe,
And in the depths of your eyes, a star will
Shine forth its light... Shine forth its light...

The distant memory
That you lost
And the dozing dream
That I found...

...I wonder why
They're like an old friend,
Patting me on the shoulder
And exhanging smiles with me.

Hey,
I'll stop walking down this road that's leading me nowhere,
And I'll put an end
To repeating these same mistakes over and over again.

Hey,
Try pushing the reset button,
Intending to be born again
From the beginning.

In the twinkling of a star,
You forget about me
And I forget about you.
Everything will vanish... And then everything will hatch...

Someday, on the other side of the universe,
If I glance over my shoulder at the wind,
In the depths of my eyes
You'll change into radiance... You'll change into radiance...



*SNIFF* Tell me that isn't significant, but don't lie!! I was feeling horrible when I read that, and I was hearing the song and singing along while I read it… ^^; *cries*
