April 9, 200619 yr I'm not sure I just recall having to ask on another forum. Hey but this is buzzjack so maybe I'll just start threads and pip can delete any that aren't OK Sounds like a good idea to me Lots of his lyrics mean different things to me, I can't really choose an absolute favourite. But for the purpose of this thread I will select Sometimes.... you don't win gold, you don't win silver At the right time.... you'll find bronze makes you the winner :)
April 9, 200619 yr Lovely B.P. I love that song and better still, the later revamp of it For me those lines sum up Darius's beliefs that there are plenty of opportunities in life, if we just grab them. We may not get what we wish for but something better, if we just believe in ourselves. It's the same philosophy that runs through Dive In which always snaps me out of any negative or pessimistic thoughts. I love the way Darius uses some old fashioned words in his songs like happenstance for example. Edited April 11, 200619 yr by Baytree
April 12, 200619 yr me too,, I find the other lyric i like is "serpentine girl with th e turpentine words" that is so clever! an d you know exactly what he means with out it being put a longhanded way

April 13, 200619 yr I've got a top ten now. Closer. :) Just keep posting..................there are loads that are fantastic and should be posted
April 13, 200619 yr Take me to the place Where I don't know If my heart beats Cause the only things I hear Are the secrets that you whisper in my ear So take my words Know what my faith is Let's hide from the World With summer thoughts of twilight places Take this kiss Wrap it with your delicate love If you want me Take me as I am And I give you Everything I have Even if all I have is my dream

April 13, 200619 yr It's getting late Can't hesitate Can't let the moment slip away I can't leave My heart keeps telling me It's now or never Don't you ever Be afraid to make mistakes Take a chance You won't regret it It's now or never Don't wait until tomorrow I think the next line is considered in a quite a few relationships especially when they start with friendship Is a kiss just a kiss ? Or will it change the way we are ? I know how it feels to be rejected Because I care I couldn't bear To lose the friend I've learmed to love To lose you when I've yearned so much To touch you I'm bearing my soul I'm losing control But I need to know can't you just feel the pain beautiful song...should have been on the album...even a single
April 13, 200619 yr If you want me Take me as I am And I give you Everything I have Even if all I have is my dream and I know how it feels to be rejected Because I care I couldn't bear To lose the friend I've learmed to love To lose you when I've yearned so much To touch you These are my favorite two lyrics and also among my favorite songs. I love the honesty and the plea. It reminds me of early love. I think I'll always love these
April 13, 200619 yr oh yes, those lyrics from secret song, they make me well up every time I hear them, so straight from his heart, they connect on such a personal direct level If you want me Take me as I am And I give you Everything I have Even if all I have is my dream
April 14, 200619 yr :cry: Gulp! "You're out of breath, out of patience, Out of mind They cut you with words and lies. You wish you could just close your eyes and leave behind The jealousy. Wish they could see the hurt inside."
April 14, 200619 yr Put your faith in me Im solid ground Your faith in me won't let you down When you believe you'll laugh out loud Your faith in me won't let you down girl Come with me Yeah ..... That just makes me want to cheer!! But the bit in the verse ...... They tell you who to love, tell you who to rate 50 ways to leave your lover, write the rules for gettin' laid So true .. trying to live our lives according to Heat, Lady Victoria Newton ... and the rest of the popular media just screws your head up. I am so very glad we dont have a "news" section here ..... it can be so depressing the way our man gets treated This song is just two fingers to the lot of them!! I think Faith in Me is one of the cleverest songs he has ever written and should have been released as an A side. It was better than Kinda Love anyday Edited April 14, 200619 yr by Trishiboo
April 14, 200619 yr Dive In "If you want it, then you got it - Don't let this moment pass you by, Take a long shot Give it all you've got - You'll never know unless you try"
April 15, 200619 yr I still love Simple Like The Truth and especially It's not that I'm weak Baby I can take it It's not that I'm blind - I can see you fake it If you only knew What I'm going through Then you'd find the words to whisper Or you'd find the strength to leave.

Mmm I love that too ...and.. I love you You love me But you never say that to me ....reminds me to say it to my husband a bit more frequently

April 16, 200619 yr "Wondering if you can hide From the black you feel inside Memories lie scattered on the floor Like petals And you scream for light In your mind" Butterfly Spirit To me that comprehensively sums up depression, when the black swallows up everything, the good and the bad and you have to let the light in yourself because no-one else can get through to you unless you let them. Darius probably meant something entirely different when he wrote it but I like the way his lyrics are always open to different interpretations in response to our own experiences and emotions. It's a pity most of the GBP don't bother to listen to lyrics other than a few words of songs, often rightly termed the hook.
