As everyone knows, the meaning of life is simply 42.
Learn from the past, prepare for the future but live in the moment. You can't change the past and you can't predict the future so why waste energy trying? Everyone makes mistakes, the trick is to avoid making them time and time again.
Perhaps the best advice I've heard recently was in a usenet
signature belonging to a friend of mine, Claire:
Dance like nobody's watching, love like you've never been hurt, and
always remember to smile :)
Anyway, a collection of my favourite song quotes. I so often listen to songs and wonder what inspired them, and sometimes a phrase just catches my imagination, or a reminds me of a particular event in my life. Many are taken out of context, but that doesn't matter to me, often my mind applies it to another context which means something to me. Enjoy...
Life's a journey, not a destination,
and I just can't tell what tomorrow brings.
Aerosmith
See the stone set in your eyes
See the thorn twist in your side
I wait for you
Sleight of hand and twist of fate
On a bed of nails she makes me wait
And I wait, without you
With or without you, with or without you
"With or Without You" by U2
I guess I thought you'd be here forever.
Another illusion I chose to create.
Don't know what you've got until its gone.
And I found out just a little too late.
Chicago
And I have the sense to recognize, that I don't know how to let you go.
Deep within I'm shaken by the violence of existing for only you.
I know I can't be with you. I do what I have to do.
But I have the sense to recognize that I don't know how to let you go.
"Do What You Have to Do" by Sarah McLachlan
Every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end.
"Closing Time" by SemiSonic
You're my best friend. Best friend with benefits.
"Head Over Feet" by Alanis Morisette
I get by with a little help from my friends.
The Beatles
Excuse me, guess I've mistaken you for somebody else,
somebody who gave a damn, someone more like myself.
"Foolish Games" by Jewel
When he holds you close, when he pulls you near,
When he says the words you've been needing to hear.
I'll wish I was him, 'cos those words are mine,
To say to you till the end of time.
Yeah I will love you, baby - Always.
And I'll be there forever and a day - Always.
"Always" by Bon Jovi
She said I don't know if I've ever been good enough
I'm a little bit rusty, and I think my head is caving in
And I don't know if I've ever been really loved
By a hand that's touched me, well I feel like something's
Gonna give and I'm a little bit angry...
"Push" by Matchbox20
Straight up what did you hope to learn about here
If I were someone else would this all fall apart?
Strange, where were you when we started this gig
I wish the real world would just stop hassling me....and you, and you, and me
"Real World" by Matchbox20
We've come a long long way together,
Through the hard times and the good,
I have have to celebrate you baby,
I have to praise you like I should
"Praise You" by Fat Boy Slim
Well life has a funny way of sneaking up on you when think everything's going right
And life has a funny way of helping you out
When you think everything's gone wrong and everything blows up
In your face
A traffic jam when you're already late
A no-smoking sign on your cigarette break
It's like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife
It's meeting the man of my dreams
And then meeting his beautiful wife
And isn't it ironic... don't you think
A little too ironic..and yeah I really do think...
"Ironic" by Alanis Morrisette
And every time you speak her name
Does she know how you told me you'd hold me
Until you died, til you died
But you're still alive
"You Oughta Know" by Alanis Morrisette
And I give into the alcohol...
"Girl Like That" by Matchbox20
Oops, I did it again...
Britney Spears
And I'd give up forever to touch you
Cause I know that you feel me somehow
You're the closest thing to heaven that I'll ever be
And I don't want to go home right now
~ ~ ~
And all I can taste is this moment
And all I can breathe is your life
Cause sooner or later it's over
I just don't want to miss you tonight
~ ~ ~
And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming
Or the moment of truth in your lies
When everything seems like the movies
Yeah you bleed just to know your alive
~ ~ ~
And I don't want the world to see me
Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
"Iris" by the Goo Goo Dolls
