Had to Post These Lyrics Today

Hello all! I'm still feeling alittle melancholy, although I resumed taking my anti-ds. This song popped into my mind - I remember it being popular during the final months of my active alcoholism and I remember thinking at that time how fitting it was for me. Now I'm thinking back to it and thinking about how I get stuck in the moment thinking about OMM and how dangerous that can be. Sometimes song lyrics are so therapuetic. In this case, U-2 said what I feel but cannot articulate, especially the part about not being able to get enough of what I don't even need to have!!! For whatever reason, I just wanted to share these lyrics here for anyone who can identify:

I'm not afraid

Of anything in this world

There's nothing you can throw at me

That I haven't already heard


I'm just trying to find

A decent melody

A song that I can sing

In my own company


I never thought you were a fool

But darling look at you

You gotta stand up straight

Carry your own weight

These tears are going nowhere baby


You've got to get yourself together

You've got stuck in a moment

And now you can't get out of it


Don't say that later will be better

Now you're stuck in a moment

And you can't get out of it


I will not forsake

The colors that you bring

The nights you filled with fireworks

They left you with nothing


I am still enchanted

By the light you brought to me

I listen through your ears

Through your eyes I can see


And you are such a fool

To worry like you do

I know it's tough

And you can never get enough

Of what you don't really need now

My, oh my


You've got to get yourself together

You've got stuck in a moment

And you can't get out of it


Oh love, look at you now

You've got yourself stuck in a moment

And you can't get out of it


I was unconscious, half asleep

The water is warm 'til you discover how deep

I wasn't jumping, for me it was a fall

It's a long way down to nothing at all


You've got to get yourself together

You've got stuck in a moment

And you can't get out of it


Don't say that later will be better

Now you're stuck in a moment

And you can't get out of it


And if the night runs over

And if the day won't last

And if our way should falter

Along the stony pass


And if the night runs over

And if the day won't last

And if your way should falter

Along this stony pass


It's just a moment

This time will pass


UGH! Feels better to just get it out there. I feel "stuck in a moment" reminiscing about OMM this afternoon. Thanks for listening, as always! Love, Mo.

I'm with you on the lyrics today. This morning I was listening to one of my Kenny Wayne Shepherd CD's. I don't know if any of you have listened to those songs but holy moly they are all about infidelity. Anyways I was listening to that on my way to work reminiscing I suppose about my recently ended EMA, thinking to myself "man how am I ever going to get my astrology book back from him? Hmmmm" When I pulled into my parking lot at work and there he was parked. WOW. Reality Check! So I guess I have been tuned into song lyrics today. Later on in the afternoon I heard this one:

Here are the lyrics to Rod Stewarts "My Heart Can't Tell Me No"

I don't want you to come

round here no more

I beg you for mercy

You don't know how strong

my weakness is

Or how much it hurts me

Cause when you said it over with him

I want to believe it's true

So I let you in knowing tomorrow

I'm gonna wake up missing you

wake up missing you

When the one you love's

in love with someone else

Don't you know it's torture

I mean it's a living hell

No matter how I try to convince myself

this time I won't lose control

One look in your blue eyes

And suddenly my heart can't tell you no

I don't want you

To call me up no more

Saying you need me

You're crazy if you think

just half your love

could ever please me

Still I want to hold you, touch you

when you look at me that way

There's only one solution I know

You gotta stay away from me

Stay away from me

When the one you love's

in love with someone else

Don't you know it's torture

I mean it's a living hell

No matter how I try to convince myself

this time I won't lose control

One look in your sad eyes

And suddenly my heart can't tell you no

My Heart can't tell you no

I don't want you

to come round here no more

I beg you for mercy

You don't know how strong

my weakness is

Or how much it hurts me

Cause when you say its over with him

I want to believe it's true

So I let you in knowing tomorrow

I'm gonna wake up missing you

Wake up missing you

When the one you love's

in love with someone else

Don't you know it's torture

I mean it's a living hell, a living hell

When the one you love's

in love with someone else

Don't you know it's torture

I mean it's a living hell, a living hell
