Do you understand me now?

I found my messages, I have highlighted only 3 of them to get you started! There are many hidden in the lyrics.
Do you understand me now? Sometimes I feel a little mad, but don't you know that no one alive, can always be an angel. When things go wrong I seem to be bad, sometimes I'm so carefree, with a joy that's hard to hide and sometimes it seems that all I have do is worry then, you're bound to see my other side. If I seem edgy I want you to know, that I never mean to take it out on you. Life has it's problems and I get my share and that's one thing I never meant to do, because I love you, don't you know I'm human, have thoughts like any other one. Sometimes I find myself long regretting some foolish thing some little simple thing I've done, but I'm just a soul whose intentions are good, Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood, Where do we go nobody knows, I've got to say I'm on my way, down. God give me style and give me grace, God put a smile upon my face. Where do we go to draw the line, I've got to say I've wasted all your time. Where do I go to fall from grace? God put a smile upon your face, now when you work it out I'm worse than you, when you work it out I want it too. Now when you work out where to draw the line, your guess is as good as mine. Where do we go nobody knows, don't ever say you're on your way down, when God gave you style and gave you grace and put a smile upon your face. So your brother's bound and gagged and they've chained him to a chair won't you please come to Chicago just to sing in a land that's known as freedom how can such a thing be fair won't you please come to Chicago, for the help that we can bring. We can change the world rearrange the world, it's dying - to get better. Politicians sit yourselves down, there's nothing for you here won't you please come to Chicago for a ride don't ask jack to help you `cause he'll turn the other ear, won't you please come to Chicago or else join the other side. We can change the world rearrange the world, it's dying - if you believe in justice dying - and if you believe in freedom dying - let a man live his own life dying - rules and regulations, who needs them open up the door. Somehow people must be free I hope the day comes soon, won't you please come to Chicago show your face. From the bottom of the ocean to the mountains of the moon, won't you please come to Chicago no one else can take your place. I got to have a shot of what you got is so sweet, you got to make it hot, like a boomerang I need a repeat. Give me all your loving, all your hugs and kisses too, give me all your loving, Don't let up until we're through. You got to whip it up and hit me like a ton of lead. If I blow my top will you let it go to your head? You got to move it up and use it like a screwball would. You got to pack it up, work it like a new boy should. I call you when I need you, my heart's on fire, you come to me, come to me wild and wired When you come to me Give me everything I need, give me a lifetime of promises and a world of dreams. Speak the language of love like you know what it means , it can't be wrong. Take my heart and make it stronger. You're simply the best, better than all the rest, better than anyone, anyone I've ever met. I'm stuck on your heart, I hang on every word you say. Tear us apart, I would rather be dead. In your heart I see the stars of every night and every day, in your eyes I get lost, I get washed away, just as long as I'm here in your arms, I could be in no better place. Each time you leave me I start losing control, You're walking away with my heart and my soul I can feel you even when I'm alone, don't let go, you're the best. Give a little bit, Give a little bit of your love to me, give a little bit I'll give a little bit of my love to you There's so much that we need to share So send a smile and show you care I'll give a little bit I'll give a little bit of my life for you So give a little bit Give a little bit of your time to me See the man with the lonely eyes Take his hand, you'll be surprised Give a little bit Give a little bit of your love to me I'll give a little bit of my life for you. Now is the time that we need to share, so find yourself, we're on our way back home. Going home, don't you need to feel at home?

Lyrics of songs by The Animals, Coldplay, ZZ-Top, Chicago, Tina Turner and Supertramp.
Lyrics compiled by:

I have thought about maybe posting something similar myself Leendert, because this is significant, but for some reason I never have.Probably because I’ve never had the patience to write it all out as you have done so here.So, thankyou for taking the time to do so, it’s appreciated :)
I used Tina Turner’s “Simply The Best” for my recent blog title.The first thought for titles usually goes back to song lyrics or song titles.They certainly are a BIG part of things for me.
So, if you’re mad, then I’m mad, but truly, I think we’re both cool ;)
It’s good that you got that out Leendert.You needed to get it out.Better out than in my friend.And, yes, I understand you.
Be well.
Oh, and I just have to say:
I love you all.I always have and always will.That is beyond ‘understanding.’
Cheers!
Thanks Flex, I am happy you are supporting me on this, I think it could be a significant post if we really start to think about the content. For me personally it’s like the Universe is screaming to us: GO ON! WE CAN REALLY CHANGE THE WORLD! AT LEAST WE ARE MAD ENOUGH!
Leon,
I just sent you an email about this but will make it public here. A Persian man once showed me this, using Rumi poetry. You have a question, or are in a state of mind, confused, joyous, enquiring. You pick up a book of Rumi and run you thumb down the leaves of the pages and open to that random pick and there is “The Friend”, the mystical beloved speaking to you, just to you. It is a great guide. The Cosmos is a great guide and speaks to us everywhere, from everything. Even Rock Music.
Last week I asked for a dream or a word before I went to bed. Something that would guide me though the coming year. I woke up singing the pop song Jump. Jump in. Yeah, lets jump in to this world change with all the ecstatic love, passion and compassion that we possess. We might look like fools, but The Fool is the one who begins the soul’s journey. Graham Nash’s high toned voice is agreeing: “We can change the world.”
I know, I guess it is the same principle as Tarot. Or any other way of using instant faith to communicate with the divine. I do it all the time, most of the time unconsciously. Another fine example, for me, is the manual; warriors of the light by Paolo Coelho. I often use your technique to get valuable messages. When you trust this technique it also works with thoughts. It’s more difficult and it requires training. But it’s brilliant.
Thanks for pointing out the Rumi poems. Beautiful!
LOL……Leendert………..loved it
As a lover of lyrics myself………..I found the significance and the humour in it.
I think that song lyrics are overlooked so often………there is some great stuff in them.
I am always gettin on my son to be “aware” of the lyrics in the music he is listening to. Music isnt all just rythyms and sounds…….I say.
I used to listen to Metallica and loved the hardcore instrumental sounds and even loved the singers voice………but even then I hated hearing ……”Am I Evil…….Yes I am!” I would cringe and talk through it……..nope not lettin those words in…….not lettin em in!”……………….on the other hand it is a good example of music that I have to remind myself of. As many say…………ah leave the kid alone……he is just listening to the music……
Sure ……..I guess…….but haye……if I am going to have a melody repeating over and over again in my head………..let it not have words like “Am I Evil” or “My hump, my hump, my hump, my hump, my hump”……….
LOL Harticulate!
I was scared because I didn’t look for any negative things in the lyrics I put together in the post. I checked later couldn’t find any shocking things, pffff….
Hi Leendert;
You are absolutely amazing…….this is so great. Must have taken a while, but I`m sure appreciated by many! Thanks for sharing this labour of love….lol
As I said , it`s all out there we only have to listen, but above all hear.
namaste,
Zsu
an answer in a word ..NO
even now…
