Music and Lyrics

Until lately, I have never been a lyric listener. By nature, I have always only heard the music part of music and completely ignored what the words were saying. This doesn't mean that I didn't know the words, it just means that I didn't pay attention to what it was actually saying.
Lately, though I have been listening to lyrics and it is amazing how many songs have messages that fit perfectly with everything you feel at an exact moment in life. Songs I have listened to since I was a kid even have whole new meanings. For example, Patti Rothberg's "Inside" spoke exactly how I had been feeling just a short while ago (and still some right now, though I'm trying to make it all better). Lately, Nickelback's new song "Gotta be Somebody", though pathetic, also fits right in to my bottled feelings. Sometimes you wonder if songs are written just for you...

Haven't done a thing today,
I'm just sitting around wasteing time a way
And even if I wanted to
I can go outside
There ain't nothing to do
OOOhhhhh

I think I'll write a letter home
telling everybody that I'm happy alone
and maybe if I pay the role
I roll myself into a big black hole

I can roll myself on down the line
telling everybody that I'm just fine
my troubled mind I can't confined
that we are all the same inside
inside, inside, inside

I've been thinking about my friends
Saying they'll be with be to the bitter end
I , don't know how I  get that far
when I don't even know who the hell they are

I can roll myself on down the line
telling everybody that I'm just fine
My troubled mind I can't confined
That we are all the same inside
inside, inside, inside

I can roll myself on down the line
telling everybody that I'm just fine
my troubled mind I can't confined
That we are all the same inside
