The most meaningful song I've heard, is a song of an old man, singing about his life with no regret. It's the most meaningful song I've heard.
It is.... 'My Way' by Frank Sinatra.
It's lyrics is full of wisdom. And only an old senior singer like Frank Sinatra can give the proper effect. How about you all? Any meaningful songs you remember?
Minority by Green Day lyrics say it all
What a Wondefuul world by lois armstrong
Hatebreed - This is now : it is metal, but it's really encouraging. 
Hatebreed? isnt a Hardcore BAND?

True, sorry. But you know what I mean, it's not like classical music! | anticitizen1 wrote: |

I was going to put that too! I also think "Iris" by the goo goo dolls from the City of Angels soundtrack is pretty meaningful too.Definitely Mr Bojangles by The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, it means more to me then ANY other song i have ever heard. I mean, it just carresses the soul every time you hear it. That poor, poor Mr. Bojangles.
Free bird by lynard skynard. Its saying that he is a free person. The song is just moving. Also simple man by the same band.
The most meaningful song. . . . I have to think about that one. at the moment it would have to be "Mr Lonely" by Bobby Vinton. Perfect metaphor for my life. I know, I catch a lot of shit cuz I like his work, but who cares? His music is pretty lyrical. Well, thats my two cents.
2Pac - Dear Mama << aint no song like this 1
U Still got it- Jamie Foxx ft. Common
It's a track about how when you're married and you notice the changes on your wife, and she may have gained a few pounds and thing of that nature. But the track talks about how she still got it and she still beatiful, great track to learn how to appriciate women.
Every rose has its thorn-Poison.
The Verve's Bittersweet Symphony's pretty meaningful if i do say so myself....
Acceptance - Different
Aqualung - Brighter than sunshine
Glenn Hughes - Nights in white satin
much more
no more time :s | Timoses wrote: |

Isn't that The Moody Blues?
anyway,
P.O.D. - Thinkin' About Forever
P.O.D. - Youth Of The NationArctic Monkeys - A Certain Romance, for all they are a bunch of teenagers, they show a lot of wisdom ^_^
The Goo Goo Dolls - Iris
A very meaningful song for me Walk the Line by Johnny Cash
or
Hurt by Johnny Cash
or
Ring of Fire by Johnny Cash.
Some pretty good song names there.
The most meaningful songs to me would be -
November Rain - Guns and Roses
Runaway Train - Soul Asylum
Somewhre Out There - Our Lady Peace
life for rent - Dido
i adore her..
Eric Clapton's Tears In Heaven
Jet's Look What You've Done
South FM's Corporate White America
A little FYI:
Hurt is actually by Nine Inch Nails. Johnny Cash did a cover (which was pretty good by the way. It just sounds nothing like NIN xD).

Hm Hurt was originally by Nine Inch Nails, so i feel you should atleast mention that .
For me atm it's Reflection by ToolEvery rose has its thorn is a good song.
Tears in heaven is a really good song.
Free bird just gives you that I'm free type of feeling.
Well please don't laugh me.
I think Let it Be by Bettles is meaningful. 
Please don't laugh... Dan Bern - Tiger Woods. I dare you all to listen to it. good day by angels and airwaves
the lyrics perfectly convey the meaning of the song:
"i think i like today, i think it's good"
Wow! Lyrical genious! 
Most meaningful song, hmm.... I don't know if it is the MOST meaningful but I bet it has a preety deep meaning. Mad Work - Tears 4 Fears.
Sunscreen - Baz Luthermann (sp?) is full of advice :p
Best song ever, and is very meaningful, is:
Do you Realize?? - Flaming Lips.

Dammit Raffles, what the hell is wrong with you? I was supposed say that not you! 
It's a great song, which I happen to be listening to right now. It's got a great message and people should live by it - appreciate the people and things around you because they won't be there forever.2:45am by Elliott Smith
This was the first song I've ever heard by him and I thought I was going to fall into a pit of despair. This is probably the saddest song ever written, and his suicide kind of adds on to the whole depressing factor.
hello every one.
good day
i think the most meaningful song i've ever heard
is the song of bread, entitled everything i own.
i chose it because i like it's lyrics and it sounds
very well to my ears.
it's a love song.
actually there are a lot of meaningful songs that i like,
for example ALL MY LIFE by america.
AMAZING GRACE..
and a lot more...
Thank you and GOOdbye..
Pink Floyd - Shine on You Crazy Diamond
It's a tribute to the early member Syd (Shine on You Crazy Diamond) Barrett who got into LSD and left the band. Ironicly he showed up at the recording session during that song. Good song...Gilmour is god.
I'd say there are many meaningful songs, depending on what meaning you're going for. And first I would like to agree to the following: Iris, Shine on You Crazy Diamond, and Tears in Heaven. Crazy meaningful.
I would add:
1.) Imagine by John Lennon
2.) Breathe by Pink Floyd
3.) I Miss You by Incubus
Imagine is meaning when looking at the world, Breathe is meaningful when looking at life, and I Miss You is meaningful when looking at love.
Most meaningful song is of old songs. they have the meaning of song. Actually they tells about the passon of the music. they want to tell what the music is. In earlier days music was more melidiouds than today.
Wuthering Heights - Kate Bush (2pac loved this song, which I found suprising indeed)
I really like The Way You Look by Sinatra
I wanted to add that there is also a good rap son
I can - Nas
It can be very encouraging for children.
Rise and Fall - Craig David
Tears in Heaven - Eric Clapton
Did u - hoobastank

Eric Clapton's Tears In Heaven

Couldn't agree more. That songs is just moving, especially when you know why he wrote it. Having been through a similar expression myself, I feel really touched. Also the first song I learned to play in guitar.Man... the song that is most meaningful to me is:
1. Mathias Replaces Judas by Showbread
Although its the Offspring, their song "Gone Away" is awesome.
I also think Pet by A Perfect Circle has a deep meaning - protesting the war.
Has to be "Everybody Hurts" by R.E.M. touches a chord - that one! All REM songs are pretty great - they deal with real issues and are not afraid to dig deep and diss governments and ideas they dont agree with. Not many bands out there are producing music that says much more than how good they are with women or how much money they have! 
Pink - Dear Mr. President
That's the best song ever!
Mad World - by Gary Jules
I even did 20 pages essay on that one back in old times when i was studying. 
"Hurt" when sung by Johnny Cash. I hate the original NiN one.
To really appreciate the song you need to watch the video, it shows parts of his life he always said he regretted. Loosing his wife to cancer, his battles with drugs and alcohol, the failings and tragedies of his life laid bare for all to see.
And you can hear it when he sings as well, rarely do you hear a song that sounds like it's full of sicnerity and sang from the heart.
So yea, in my opinion the most meaningful song is "Hurt" by the Man in Black.
RIP JC
Saltwater - Julian Lennon
Wish You Were Here - Pink Floyd
Tears in Heaven - Eric Clapton
Fade to Black - Metallica
I Will Remember You - Sarah McLachlan
Fast Car - Tracy Chapman
Change - Good Charlotte
Wonderful Tonight- Eric Clapton
Imagine - John Lennon
What the World Needs Now - Luther Vandross (I don't know if his was the original version)
London Bridge - Fergie (jk...prollly the most meaningless song ever)
Far Away-Nickelback
I love this song and it is very meaningful.
to add to my other post....
Heart of Gold - Neil Young
Simple Man - Lynard Skynard
Free Bird - Lynard Skynard
When the Children Cry - White Snake
Caught in a Dream - Tesla
I Wanna Know What Love Is - Foreigner
November Rain - Guns N' Roses
Don't Cry - Guns N' Roses
To Be With You - Mr. Big
When I See You Smile - Bad English
Love Song - Tesla
I believe I just listed half of the Monster Ballads album . I guess it's the "Remeber When" by Alan Jackon, in which is an old man looking back to his old days, it's so touching!

The Goo Goo Dolls - Iris
A very meaningful song for me |
i gotta agree. it is a really good, meaningful song. btw, dido's songs are also ok.
metallica songs like fade to black, and nothing else matters are also in my list.
so is tear in heaven by eric clapton
i'll give tha full list some other time i guess.there are a bunch, but my most meaningful would have to be
what went wrong - blink-182
Most meaningful song I have ever head would have to be 'The Living Years' by Mike and The Mechanics. To this day, I can not hear this song without breaking down in tears.
I can't think of the most meaningful song, but Sadness and Hate from Wintersun is pretty damn meaningful to me. It's full of metaphors too, which is awesome. It's about 'giving' your heart and life to someone else.
[color=darkred]Stairway To Heaven the greatest rock song of all time has many diferent theories as to what it means. Some say its about drugs. "Gold" was a term for marijuana in the 70s and "rings of smoke throuhg the trees and the voices of those who stand looking" means marijuana smoke came up throught the trees and the people around the smoke were talking about the girl smoking it. There are lines meaning things like that throughout the song. Some say it has no meaning and Robert was stoned when he wrote the lyrics. Some say it means whatever you want it to mean. Paige has said that is what it means and that it is a song of hope. A lot of people have heard the rumor about the lines in the song. that go "If there´s a bustle in your hedgerow don´t be alarmed now. It´s just a spring clean for the May-Queen. Yes there two paths you can go by. But in the long run. There´s still time to change the road you´re on." Many people say that when played backwards those lines say a satanic message. My freinds and I have tried this and unfortunately the record I have has a big scratch on it, and the only one who has the record besides me out of my group of freinds lost it. So I don't know if its true or not. Every website, person, etc. who says there is a satanic message says it is something different. There is another rumor that says some really creepy stuff. Jimmy and Robert wrote stairway in a really old mansion where most of the album was made. It goes that while sitting by the fire in this mansion Jimmy was playing an acoustic while Robert hummed to it and at one point while he was starting to write he felt that "Something was moving my pen...". He has said that several interviews. Jimmy Page says that Robert "...had come up with 90% of the lyrics right there on the spot! We were all stunned...". I know that this in another entry, but I heard this rumor long before visiting this website. Some other websites I can give out to help people with Staiway To Heaven are: http://www.durangocoloradousa.com/stairwaytoheaven.html http://www.reversespeech.com/music_reversals.htm http://experts.about.com/q/501/3526313.htm----- If you feel I was wrong, please enlighten me. this song will be played forever.[color=darkred] One of my favorite songs is called 'Al Otro Lado del Rio' composed by a Uruguayan singer, Jorge Drexler.
This song is meaningful to me because it reminds of this one person who is a very big part of my life. The lyrics are somewhat poetic, but make a wonderful combination.
the songs that mean the most to me are because of the memeroies that come tierd with them. Like Heres to you mrs robinson jesus loves you more thanyou will know, woh woh oh,
makes methink of my girlfriend, now ex, but its upsetting none the least, at the time meant a lot coz we were just coming out of a rough patch and that song made us closer...
lol im a right tart
C'est la vie by Patrick Bruel, it's a french song but it's very very touching and meaningful translate its lyrics to english and you will see.
There's a song called "killer kaczynski" performed by Mando Diao , Kaczynski is a surname of my country's president - this song is like about him Although not actually his song: Hurt by Johnny Cash.
Fantastically sums up JC's life, career, and pending death, from his drugs problems to his loves.
Also another meaningful song is A Place For My Head by Linkin Park.
Give the lyrics a read.
This song really impresses me for its lyrical content, The Chariot by The Cat Empire. Read the lyrics and listen to the song yourself, it's really really good:
This is a song that came upon me
One night
When the news it had been telling me
About one more war and one more fight
And 'aeh' I sighed but then
I thought about my friends
Then I wrote this declaration
Just in case the world end
Our guns
We shot them in the things we said
Ah we didn't need no bullets
Cos we rely on some words instead
Kill someone in argument
Outwit them with our brains
And we'd kill ourselves laughing
At the funny things we'd say
And bombs
We had them saved for special times
When the crew would call a shakedown
We break down a party landmine
Women that so sexy
They explode us with their looks
Ah we blowing up some speakers
Jumping round till the ground shook
And missiles
They were the roadtrips that we launched
T-t-tripping across this island
Starting missions at the break of dawn
Yawn and smile say
'what direction shall we take?'
'Somewhere where it warm and wet'
This be the route we'd always take and
Our weapons were our instruments
Made from timber and steel
We never yielded to conformity
But stood like kings
In a chariot that's riding on a
Record wheel
And our airforce flying
When the frisbee in the sky
Have a session while we're smoking
Now we're feeling extra high
And we'd sneak into a carpark
With the skaties on our back
And we're flying down the levels howling
'on the attack now on the attack'
And battles
They happened in these dancehalls
See we'd rather fight with music
Choosing one the rhythm war
Battle at these shakedowns
And we battle at these gigs
We do battle in our bedrooms
Made some sweet love to the beat
Then our allies grew
Wherever we would roam
See whenever we're together
Any stranger feel at home
In a way we are an army
But this army not destruct
No instead we're doing simple things
Good loving find it run amuck
This be a declaration
Written about my friends
It's engraved into this song
So they know I'm not forgetting them
See maybe if the world contained
More people like these
Then the news would not be telling me
About all that warfare endlessly and
Our weapons were our instruments
Made from timber and steel
We never yielded to conformity
But stood like kings
In a chariot that's riding on
A record wheel
I guess November by Silverstein, it's really beautiful.
-Shine On- Jet (omfg it's the best song ever)
-Open Arms- Journey
and
-Somewhere over the Rainbow- Israel Kamakawiwo;ole
For me, it's "Perfect Garden" by Schwarz Stein. The lyrics totally exemplify my world view... Though I hate to admit it, I'm kind of an "escapist", I'd rather run away from problems than work them out. I'd love to follow Kaya (the vocalist) to his perfect, decadent garden, shielded from pain and hardship, to run away from everything that sucks in my life. I know it's not really possible, but I lose myself in the beauty of that song anyway.

How are the lyrics:
This is now, now
How can I taste tommorow, If I can't, taste today?
This is now, now
If I control myself I control my destiny
Really all that meaningful. I mean. Sure. If your going out to hit some ramps on dirtbike or something, or going to play some football, great song to get you pumped.
I like the lyrics to mistah man.. Probably because im from maine though

| Avenged Sevenfold - Afterlife wrote: |
Like walking into a dream, so unlike what you've seen
so unsure but it seems, ’cause we’ve been waiting for you
Fallen into this place, just giving you a small taste
of your afterlife here so stay, you'll be back here soon anyway
I see a distant light, but girl this can't be right
Such a surreal place to see so how did this come to be
Arrived too early
And when I think of all the places I just don't belong
I've come to grips with life and realize this is going too far
I don't belong here, we gotta move on dear escape from this afterlife
’Cause this time I'm right to move on and on, far away from here
A place of hope and no pain, perfect skies with no rain
Can leave this place but refrain, ’cause we've been waiting for you
Fallen into this place, just giving you a small taste
of your afterlife here so stay, you'll be back here soon anyway
This peace on earth's not right (with my back against the wall)
No pain or sign of time (I’m much too young to fall)
So out of place don't wanna stay, I feel wrong and that's my sign
I've made up my mind
Gave me your hand but realize I just wanna say goodbye
Please understand I have to leave and carry on my own life
I don't belong here, I gotta move on dear escape from this afterlife
’Cause this time I'm right to move on and on, far away from here
Got nothing against you and surely I'll miss you
This place full of peace and light, and I’d hope you might
take me back inside when the time is right
Loved ones back home all crying ’cause they're already missing me
I pray by the grace of God that there's somebody listening
Give me a chance to be that person I wanna be
(I am unbroken; I’m choking on this ecstasy)
Oh Lord I'll try so hard but you gotta let go of me
(Unbreak me, unchain me, I need another chance to live)
I don't belong here, I gotta move on dear escape from this afterlife
’Cause this time I'm right to move on and on, far away from here
Got nothing against you and surely I'll miss you
This place full of peace and light, and I’d hope you might
take me back inside when the time is right

Not laughing at all. That is a great and very meaningful song.
I like "High Hopes" -- you know, "just what makes that little ole' ant, think he can move a rubber tree plant ..."
Okay, NOW you can laugh.
This song also has meaningful words-about poor underprivileged people
Wajah or face by Jaclyn Victor
Its in Malay-I'll try my best to translate it.
Berbumbungkan angkasa kelabu
Grey Sky as your roof
Lantainya bumi retak seribu
The floor broken into thousand pieces
Setiap langkah perjalananmu
Every steps you take
Beronak berliku
Torns Twisted
Betapa berat mata memandang
How hard it looks (for us) --------- Idiom
Berat bahu menggalas bebanan
Heavy burden on bearer's shoulder
Belum sempat menitis ke pipi
Not yet just in time reach cheek
Tangisan kering sendiri
Your tears dried out
(Korus)
Berkali tersungkur
Repeatedly stumble
Pandanganmu kabur
Your view blurring
Namun azam meneruskan hidup
But determination strive for life
Tak pernah luntur
Never died
Engkaulah perwira
You are the hero
Di medan derita
At suffering battlefield
Merentasi ranjau kehidupan
Walking through hardness of life
Dengan harapan
With hope
Luahan rasa derita jiwa
Suffering soul at heart
Pada wajah tiada rahsia
On face with no secret
Menunggu malang berganti tuah
Waiting unfortunate replace with fortune
Usah kau berputus asa
Dont ever despair
Kaulah wira
You are the hero[/quote]

Sidenote: It's a popular 'theory' (or whatever you call it) in the Philippines that a lot of people have died while singing "My Way" in the karaoke.
Anyway, I don't have a 'most meaningful song'. Just wanted to share that.For me, I found this song and was AWED, it like was written about me
Whenever im down, turn it up on my stereo, and fall asleep to it...
Rite of Spring by Angels and Airwaves
I didn't like this song when I first heard it, the second time, i could stop replaying it!!!
Oh and dont be scared of the like little Yohoho thing, I dont think they're pirates, so we should be safe
'IfIHadAChanceForAnotherTry,IWouldntChangeAThing
ItsMadeMeAllWhoIAmInside'....
Hope you enjoy it as much as I do blame it on me - the song has a lot of meanings
Hi there,
How ever it is regarding Ozzy Osbourne, has he made several lyrics that contains serious meanings. But my allways no. 1 favorite would allways be;
Revelation (Mother Earth) from Blizzard of Ozz album.
Cheers!
I like always by irving berlin sung by Mandy Patinkin
Awakening and Meant to Live by Switchfoot
How Far We've Come by Matchbox Twenty
Innocent by Our Lady Peace
Dancing With the Devil by Immortal Technique[/list]
There's a lot of great songs on here, but I don't see Dylan represented and when it comes to meaningful lyrics, he wrote them ALL.
Check out:
Chimes of Freedom
Even though a cloud's white curtain in a far-off corner flashed
An' the hypnotic splattered mist was slowly lifting
Electric light still struck like arrows, fired but for the ones
Condemned to drift or else be kept from drifting
Tolling for the searching ones, on their speechless, seeking trail
For the lonesome-hearted lovers with too personal a tale
An' for each unharmful, gentle soul misplaced inside a jail
An' we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing.
^^ that's just ONE verse of six absolutely unbelievable and powerful lyrics.
Blowin' In The Wind
With God On Our Side
And he wrote each of these before he was 25 years old. Awe-inspiring. Thursday has a lot of deep songs with a lot of meaning to them. My favorite is probably M.Shepard and it has a lot of meaning to me as I'm very anti-homophobic.
there is a lot of meaningful songs, some was about moment, but all made us think about some tahta is meanigngful by it self
some of those that was the one for me in my life was ( hope not forget any)
Mi Viejo- Piero
My Way - Sinatra
Fly me to the moon - Sinatra ( this one means my marriage)
Le it Be - Beatles
Canto a la Alegria - chorus from 9 sinfony of Bethoveen
Uhm, the most meaningful song for me at this moment....
Errm, i have 2 or 3, this is more representing me and how i've felt lately.
Silverstein - Discovering The Waterfront
Linkin Park - In The End
Papa Roach - Last Resort
Wow, Thursday - Porcelain is really blowing my mind. Its lyrics are great and the emotion put in it... I really recommend everyone to listen to it.
Wow, I know of a few, and they basically include any song by Keane, Travis, Coldplay, or U2.
But I guess if I had to pick just ONE, I'd settle for This Is The Last Time, by Keane.
Hmm... the most meaningful song for me is "Enjoy the Ride" by Morcheeba. Lyrics are just amazing. Video is awesome too!
pretty much anything by coldplay has alot of meaning behind it.
but probably these:
Coldplay - Fix You
Blink 182 - Stay together for the kids
Across Five Aprils - A year from now
Natasha Bedingfield - Pocketful of Sunshine
John Lennon - Imagine
No need to explain.
My most meaningful songs are:
Dear mr President- pink
when im gone- eminem
I can- Nas
because of you- kely clarkson
imagine- john lennon
runaway love- mary J blidge and Ludacris
Hey there delilah- plain white tees
cleaning out my closet- eminem
across the universe- beatles
family portrait- pink
beautiful- christina aguilera
mama- 2pac
and more that i cant think of now but will post later!
Can't believe that U2 hasn't been added here yet. Most of their songs are very meaningful.
Here's a small selection:
Sunday Bloody Sunday
Lyrics:
| Quote: |
I can't believe the news today
I can't close my eyes and make it go away.
How long, how long must we sing this song?
How long, how long?
'Cos tonight
We can be as one, tonight.
Broken bottles under children's feet
Bodies strewn across the dead-end street.
But I won't heed the battle call
It puts my back up, puts my back up against the wall.
Sunday, bloody Sunday.
Sunday, bloody Sunday.
Sunday, bloody Sunday.
Sunday, bloody Sunday.
Oh, let's go.
And the battle's just begun
There's many lost, but tell me who has won?
The trenches dug within our hearts
And mothers, children, brothers, sisters
Torn apart.
Sunday, bloody Sunday.
Sunday, bloody Sunday.
How long, how long must we sing this song?
How long, how long?
'Cos tonight
We can be as one, tonight.
Sunday, bloody Sunday.
Sunday, bloody Sunday.
Wipe the tears from your eyes
Wipe your tears away.
I'll wipe your tears away.
I'll wipe your tears away.
I'll wipe your bloodshot eyes.
Sunday, bloody Sunday.
Sunday, bloody Sunday.
And it's true we are immune
When fact is fiction and TV reality.
And today the millions cry
We eat and drink while tomorrow they die.
The real battle just begun
To claim the victory Jesus won
On...
Sunday, bloody Sunday
Sunday, bloody Sunday..

Beautiful Day
Lyrics:
| Quote: |
The heart is a bloom, shoots up through stony ground
But there's no room, no space to rent in this town
You're out of luck and the reason that you had to care,
The traffic is stuck and you're not moving anywhere.
You thought you’d found a friend to take you out of this place
Someone you could lend a hand in return for grace
It's a beautiful day, the sky falls
And you feel like it's a beautiful day
It’s a beautiful day
Don’t let it get away
You’re on the road but you’ve got no destination
You’re in the mud, in the maze of her imagination
You love this town even if it doesn’t ring true
You’ve been all over and it’s been all over you
It's a beautiful day
Don’t let it get away
It's a beautiful day
Don’t let it get away
Touch me, take me to that other place
Teach me, I know I’m not a hopeless case
See the world in green and blue
See China right in front of you
See the canyons broken by cloud
See the tuna fleets clearing the sea out
See the bedouin fires at night
See the oil fields at first light
See the bird with a leaf in her mouth
After the flood all the colours came out
It was a beautiful day
A beautiful day
Don’t let it get away
Touch me, take me to that other place
Reach me, I know Iím not a hopeless case
What you don’t have you don’t need it now
What you don’t know you can feel it somehow
What you don’t have you don’t need it now
You don’t need it now, you don’t need it now
Beautiful day

One (feat. Mary J. Blige), but I think the original version is a little better, I like both songs though
Lyrics:
| Quote: |
Is it getting better, or do you feel the same?
Will it make it easier on you, now you got someone to blame?
You say one love, one life, when it's one need in the night.
One love, we get to share it
Leaves you baby if you don't care for it.
Did I disappoint you or leave a bad taste in your mouth?
You act like you never had love and you want me to go without.
Well, it's too late tonight to drag the past out into the light.
We're one, but we're not the same.
We get to carry each other, carry each other... one
Have you come here for forgiveness,
Have you come to raise the dead
Have you come here to play Jesus to the lepers in your head
Did I ask too much, more than a lot
You gave me nothing, now it's all I got.
We're one, but we're not the same.
Well, we hurt each other, then we do it again.
You say love is a temple, love a higher law
Love is a temple, love the higher law.
You ask me to enter, but then you make me crawl
And I can't be holding on to what you got, when all you got is hurt.
One love, one blood, one life, you got to do what you should.
One life with each other: sisters, brothers.
One life, but we're not the same.
We get to carry each other, carry each other.
One, one.

It talks about how we can be so creative and do so much good, but at the same time how we can be so destructive and be evil. It was the first song I ever really felt like it was saying something.
Nowadays, the most meaningful song for me is "Be Yourself", by Audioslave. I agree with every word of this song.
The Hunt, by New Model Army:
We went into town on the tuesday night
Searching all the places that you hang about
We're looking for you
In the back street cellar dive drinking clubs
In the discotheques and the gaming pubs
We're looking for you
You will pay the price for my own sweet brother
And what he has become
And a hundred other boys and girls
And all that you have done
We picked up the trail at the Seven Crowns
One of your cronies - he was doing your rounds
We followed him
Just a silhouette figure up market pass
Where the headlamps shine on the groken glass
We followed him
Over the bridge by the old canal
Where the shadows dance on the lighted wall
He stopped to light up a cigarette
And we dived into a doorway
No Police, no summous, no courts of law
No proper procedure, no rules of war
No mitigating circumstance
No lawyers fees, no second chance
There are lasses getting trouble on their own home beat
There are old folk battered in the open street
In this city of ours
There are eyes that see but say nothing at all
There are ears that hear but they don't recall
In this city of ours
So we followed your man back to your front door
And we're waiting for you outside
'Cos not everybody here is scared of you
Not everybody passes on the other side
No police, no summons, no courts of law...
And we could spent our whole lives waiting
For some thunderbolt to come
And we could spent our whole lives waiting
For some justice to be done
Unless we make our own
No police, no summons, no courts of law...
