Loneliness is lyrical

You listen to music for recreation most of the times. You may have different reasons for liking or not liking a particular song. Some you listen to because you like the melody, some for their music and some simply because they suit your mood.

How often do you rate songs on the basis of their lyrics? I do when I find songs that are written with passion and contemplation. Songs that reflect your character can become a very close friend of yours, reminding you of who you are or what you've been through.

In my list of favourite songs, there are a few that evince my own own thoughts, emotions and experiences so truly that I remain thankful to the writers. This particular song is one of those. It helps me find some solace when I feel alone and makes me believe that loneliness is lyrical, if you can choose the right words.

This song is from the album "Human Clay" by the band formerly known as "Creed" (disbanded on June 4, 2004). I like almost every single work of theirs. You can preview the song or read the lyrics on their official site.

Inside Us All

When I'm all alone
And no one else is there
Waiting by the phone
To remind me I'm still here
When shadows paint the scenes
Where spotlights used to fall
And I'm left wondering
Is it really worth it all?
There's a peace inside us all
Let it be your friend
It will help you carry on
In the end
There's a peace inside us all

Life can hold you down
When you're not looking up
Can't you hear the sound?
Hearts beating out loud
Although the names change
Inside we're all the same
Why can't we tear down these walls?
To show the scars we're covering
There's a peace inside us all

Let it be your friend
It will help you carry on
In the end
There's a peace inside us all...
