Inside Out by Eve 6

Posted on by

“Inside Out”

I would swallow my pride, I would choke on the rhines
But the lack thereof would leave me empty inside
Swallow my doubt turn it inside out
Find nothin’ but faith in nothin’
Want to put my tender, heart in a blender
Watch it spin around to a beautiful oblivion
Rendezvous then I’m through with you

I burn, burn like a wicker cabinet, chalk white and oh so frail
I see our time has gotten stale
The tick tock of the clock is painful
In all sane and logical, I want to tear it off the wall
I hear words and clips and phrases
I think sick like ginger ale
My stomach turns and I exhale

I would swallow my pride, I would choke on the rhines
But the lack thereof would leave me empty inside
I would swallow my doubt turn it inside out
Find nothin’ but faith in nothin’
Want to put my tender, heart in a blender
Watch it spin around to a beautiful oblivion
Rendezvous then I’m through with you

SoCal is where my mind states
But it’s not my state of mind
I’m not as ugly, sad as you
Or am I origami, folded up and just pretend
Demented as the motives in your head

I would swallow my pride, I would choke on the rhines
But the lack thereof would leave me empty inside
I would swallow my doubt turn it inside out
Find nothin’ but faith in nothin’
Want to put my tender, heart in a blender
Watch it spin around to a beautiful oblivion
Rendezvous then I’m through with you
(Rendezvous)

I alone am the one you don’t know
You need take heed, feed your ego
Make me blind when your eyes close
Sink when you get close, tie me to the bedpost
I alone am the one you don’t know
You need, you don’t know you need me
Make me blind when your eyes close
Tie me to the bed post

I would swallow my pride, I would choke on the rhines
But the lack thereof would leave me empty inside
Swallow my doubt turn it inside out
Find nothin’ but faith in nothin’
Want to put my tender, heart in a blender
Watch it spin around to a beautiful oblivion
Rendezvous then I’m through, now I’m through with you

Through with you

Rendezvous then I’m through with you

I fly like paper, get high like planes
If you catch me at the border, I got visas in my name
If you come around here, I make ‘em all day
I get one done in a second if you wait

The Finest by SOS Band

Posted on by

As life goes on
You learn to hold on
You learn to appreciate the finer things in life
The finest

If I had a chance
I’d always choose love
Up or down, good or bad, I don’t mind
Just as long as it’s real

My friends say I’m lucky
To have someone as good as you
My love’s understanding
Understanding how to hold on to you

After all that we’ve been through
Time won’t change the way I feel about you
Out of all the loves before
You’re the finest I’ll ever know (Finest I ever)

If I had to choose
I’d be by myself
I wanna be in love
But with nobody else, uh

Time flies when you’re with me
Goes so slow whenever you’re away
Make up my mind and I’m positive {A better love}
A better love will never come my way

After all that we’ve been through (Mmm, hmm)
Time won’t change the way I feel about you (Mmm… mmm…)
Out of all the loves before (Mmm… hmm… hmm…)
You’re the finest I’ll ever know (Finest I ever)

After all that we’ve been through (That we’ve been through)
Time won’t change the way I feel about you
Out of all the loves before
You’re the finest I’ll ever know (Finest I ever)

Know {Know}
You keep me in love {You keep me in love}
I’m lost {You’re lost}
Jus call me, I’ll come {Just call me and I’ll come}

No other love before {No other love}
Could do what you do {Could do what you do}
A little so much {Oh}
So much more from you {Much more}
No one else will do {No one else will do}
There’s no substitute
Your love’s the finest love I’ve ever know, ooh… ooh… ooh…

Oh, baby, you’re the finest
The finest I’ve seen
Oh, baby, you’re the finest
The finest one for me

Oh, baby, you’re the finest
The finest I’ve seen
Oh, baby, you’re the finest
The finest one for me

Oh, baby, you’re the finest
The finest I’ve seen
Oh, baby, you’re the finest
The finest one for me (Oh)

After all (Ooh) that we’ve been through (That we’ve been through)
Time won’t change (Change) the way I feel about you (No, no, no, no)
Out of all (Hmm) the loves before (The finest love)
You’re the finest (Uh-huh) I’ll ever know (Finest I ever)

After all (Ooh) that we’ve been through (That we’ve been through)
Time won’t change the way I feel about you
Out of all the loves before (Out of all the loves I had before)
You’re the finest (Yes, you are) I’ll ever know (Finest I ever)

Oh, baby, you’re the finest
The finest I’ve seen
Oh, baby, you’re the finest
The finest one for me

Oh, baby, you’re the finest
The finest I’ve seen
Oh, baby, you’re the finest
The finest one for me

Codependent Relationship

Posted on by

I was listening to the words of Addicted by Kelly Clarkston the other day and it got me to thinking about the tragedy of codependent relationships. Codependency is a familiar term but many don’t understand how common it is.  While it helps to define people in relationships with those suffering addictions the term refers to all people in a controlled or manipulated relationship where both parties are dependent on the other. People with a codependency condition often form and maintain relationships where they place a low priority on their own need while being excessively preoccupied with the others needs; sometimes these relationships become abusive verbally or physically. Codependency can occur in any type of relationship not just romantics relationships.

Certain personality traits make people vulnerable to these relationships. Codependency is usually rooted in a person’s childhood issues and their current relationship models the destructive behavior patterns. Codependency comes from a lack of physical, mental, psychological, or emotional boundaries. There are many characteristics that are common among those that are co-dependent: excessive care-taking, low self-esteem, denial of problems, fear of anger, health problems, and addictive behavior.

The negative effects to participating in a codependent relationship can be devasting. One main effects is that codependents let the feelings and actions of another person affect them to the point that they feel like they have lost control of their own lives. Unresolved patterns of codependency can lead to more serious problems like alcoholism, drug addiction, eating disorders, sex addiction, and other self-destructive or self-defeating behaviors. People with codependency also attract further abuse from aggressive individuals, are more likely to stay in stressful jobs or relationships, are less likely to seek medical attention when needed and are also less likely to get promotions and tend to earn less money than those without codependency patterns. For some, the social insecurity caused by codependency can progress into social phobia, avoidant personality disorder or painful shyness. Other stress-related disorders like panic disorder, depression or PTSD may also be present.

Codependency can be hard to recognize because these unheathly patterns can feel like unconditional love. Its important that you be honest about how you relate to others and yourself. Here are eleven signs that you’re relating to someone in your life codependently:

    • You feel like you cannot live without the other person.
    • You’re convinced you need the other person to be happy.
    • You feel trapped by the relationship, but the thought of leaving makes you feel horrible because that would be abandoning them.
    • You feel guilty about moving on from the person, because you owe them for all they’ve done for you.
    • You’re certain that you’re the only person that can save the person because you love and truly understand them, but the person doesn’t want saving.
    • You tolerate mistreatment or abuse from the other person because you love them.
    • You repeatedly tell yourself that if you hang on long enough, they’ll change and finally love you the way you deserve. .
    • You feel as if you can never stop the other person from hurting you and you might even make excuses for why you deserve this treatment.
    • You feel like if you tell the other person to leave you alone, they will pester you and try to get themselves back into your life or until they’ve made your life miserable.
    • Your in denial of the bad things in your relationship and consistently have mixed feelings; for instance you  love and hate them, or you feel empowered yet dis-empowered by the relationship.
    • You’re depressed or sad when you are with this person but you’re off on your own or with other people who care about you and respect your boundaries you’re happy.
    • You continually fantasize about life without the other person.
    • You start to develop bad habits in order to deal with the stress of being in this relationship.

There is hope to ending this unhealthy cycle. In order to end a codependency, you need to be intimately connected to your anger. Your anger gives you the fuel you need to stop putting yourself last and instead receive the respect you deserve.  Codependency automatically ends when you stop relating to the other person in codependent ways, and when you create and maintain sound personal boundaries that protect you. Some will be able to do this on there own while others will need more structured help: behavioral psychotherapy,  Co-Dependents Anonymous and Al-Anon/Alateen, Nar-Anon, and Adult Children of Alcoholics, which are based on the twelve-step program model of Alcoholics Anonymous or Celebrate Recovery a Christian. 

Author Dr. Henry Cloud has written many books on the subject of personal Boundaries, (including one book by that title.) Another book that address codependency written by Dr. Cloud is titled Changes that Heal.

Viva La Vida- Coldplay

Posted on by

Songwriters: MARTIN, CHRISTOPHER ANTHONY JOHN / BERRYMAN, GUY RUPERT / BUCKLAND, JONATHAN MARK / CHAMPION, WILLIAM

I used to rule the world
Seas would rise when I gave the word
Now in the morning I sleep alone
Sweep the streets I used to own

I used to roll the dice
Feel the fear in my enemy’s eyes
Listen as the crowd would sing
“Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!”

One minute I held the key
Next the walls were closed on me
And I discovered that my castles stand
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand

I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field

For some reason I can’t explain
Once you go there was never
Never an honest word
And that was when I ruled the world

It was the wicked and wild wind
Blew down the doors to let me in
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
People couldn’t believe what I’d become

Revolutionaries wait
For my head on a silver plate
Just a puppet on a lonely string
Oh who would ever want to be king?

I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field

For some reason I can’t explain
I know Saint Peter won’t call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world

I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field

For some reason I can’t explain
I know Saint Peter won’t call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world

Face Down- The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus

Posted on by

Hey girl, you know, you drive me crazy
One look puts the rhythm in my hand
Still I’ll never understand why you hang around
I see what’s goin’ down

Cover up with make up in the mirror
Tell yourself it’s never gonna happen again
You cry alone and then he swears he loves you

Do you feel like a man, when you push her around?
Do you feel better now as she falls to the ground?
Well, I’ll tell you my friend, one day this world’s going to end
As your lies crumble down, a new life she has found

A pebble in the water makes a ripple effect
Every action in this world will bear a consequence
If you wade around forever you will surely drown
I see what’s going down

I see the way you go and say you’re right again
Say you’re right again, heed my lecture

Do you feel like a man, when you push her around?
Do you feel better now as she falls to the ground?
Well, I’ll tell you my friend, one day this world’s going to end
As your lies crumble down, a new life she has found

Face down in the dirt she said, “This doesn’t hurt”
She said, “I finally had enough”
Face down in the dirt she said, “This doesn’t hurt”
She said, “I finally had enough”

One day she will tell you that she has had enough
It’s coming round again

Do you feel like a man, when you push her around?
Do you feel better now as she falls to the ground?
Well, I’ll tell you my friend, one day this world’s going to end
As your lies crumble down, a new life she has found

Do you feel like a man, when you push her around?
Do you feel better now as she falls to the ground?
Well, I’ll tell you my friend, one day this world’s going to end
As your lies crumble down, a new life she has found

Face down in the dirt she says, “This doesn’t hurt”
She says, “I finally had enough”

Dance Dance- Fall Out Boy

Posted on by

“Dance, Dance”

She says she’s no good with words but I’m worse
Barely stuttered out
A joke of a romantic stuck to my tongue
And weighed down with words too overdramatic
Tonight it’s “it cant get much worse”
Vs. “no one should ever feel like..”

I’m two quarters and a heart down
And I don’t want to forget how your voice sounds
These words are all I have so I write them
I need them just to get by

Dance, Dance
We’re falling apart to half time
Dance, Dance
And these are the lives you love to lead
Dance, this is the way they’d love
If they knew how misery loved me

You always fold just before you’re found out
Drink up its last call
Last resort
But only the first mistake and I…

I’m two quarters and a heart down
And I don’t want to forget how your voice sounds
These words are all I have so I write them
I need them just to get by

Why don’t you show me a little bit of spine
You’ve been saving for his mattress, love

Dance, Dance
We’re falling apart to half time
Dance, Dance
And these are the lives you love to lead
Dance, this is the way they’d love
If they knew how misery loved me

Why don’t you show me a little bit of spine
You’ve been saving for his mattress (mattress, mattress)
I only want sympathy in the form of you crawling into bed with me

Dance, Dance
We’re falling apart to half time
Dance, Dance
And these are the lives you love to lead

Dance this is the way they’d love (way they’d love)
Dance this is the way they’d love (way they’d love)
Dance this is the way they’d love
If they knew how misery loved me

Dance, Dance
Dance, Dance
Dance, Dance
Dance, Dance

Me Myself and I

Posted on by

Have you ever took stock of a romantic relationship and suddenly realized that the cons far out weighs the pros? Crushed you decide that though you’ve invested a lot of your time, your heart and your resources you can’t stay a minute longer. Once you have realized that you gave all you had but your partner never appreciated you and was only there to take advantage of your good nature you decide it over and that you’ll be better of alone. That’s what Beyonce sings about in Me Myself and I which is an empowering break up song.

I can identify with the songs lyrics because I too had to get out of a bad relationship (haven’t we all). This relationship was an on again off mess that began while I was in middle school. Our relationship started off as a good friendship so when he asked me to be his girlfriend I was more than happy to say yes. That lasted all of a minute because he broke up with me saying that he couldn’t be my boyfriend because he was still in love with his ex girlfriend. I felt a little rejected but took it in stride, after all we were friends above everything else. I actually gave him credit for being honest and not stringing me along.

The first break up become one of many and a pattern was born. We’d make up to break up. He’d woo me with words of affection and promises that he cared deeply for me only to realize later that something was wrong and things had to end. I’d find out later that it was usually because of a new love interest which sometimes happen to be friends of mine. I always took him back though because I loved him and was grateful that instead of cheating on me he would break up first.

We repeated this cycle for 7 years, now I was 18 and believed that he was the man for me. He must of believed it too because he asked me to marry him. It was the summer of 93 and we were in love. He would give me a ring on Christmas but for now we would wait to tell our family of our engagement. After the summer was over he went back to college and I’d just graduated from high school but was waiting to go to school the following year.

After he left things seemed to change  but I tried to ignore my instincts as long as I could. It wasn’t until I heard his roommate in the background ask if he was talking to some other girl (I can’t remember the name he said) that I became suspicious that he was cheating on me. It was hard having a long distance relationship so I could understand if he wanted to be with someone he could see on a regular bases, but what I didn’t understand was why did he have me in the background. I wanted to know if my suspensions were true so I asked a mutual friend if he was cheating on me. She responded by saying “You’re stupid if you think he’s not”. I knew that she would know because her and my fiancee were the best of friends but I couldn’t understand why should would tell me in such a harsh way.

It was hard walking away from what I thought at the time would be my only love but I couldn’t go into a marriage with someone I couldn’t trust to be faithful and honest with me. When I broke things off I knew without a doubt that I was doing the right thing but was still surprised that I did not grieve the lost of the relationship. I did survive…and so will you if you are heart broken over a newly ended relationship.  Time (and  life experiences)  heals all wounds. So let the words of Me Myself and I inspire you to move on when the time is right and to cut ties with all unhealthy relationship.

I Will Survive- Gloria Gaynor

Posted on by

At first, I was afraid, I was petrified
Kept thinking, I could never live without you by my side
But then I spent so many nights thinking, how you did me wrong
And I grew strong and I learned how to get along

And so you’re back from outer space
I just walked in to find you here with that sad look upon your face
I should have changed that stupid lock
I should have made you leave your key
If I’d known for just one second you’d be back to bother me

Go on now, go, walk out the door, just turn around now
‘Cause you’re not welcome anymore
Weren’t you the one, who tried to hurt me with goodbye?
Did you think I’d crumble? Did you think I’d lay down and die?

Oh, no, not I, I will survive
Oh, as long as I know how to love, I know I’ll stay alive
I’ve got all my life to live, I’ve got all my love to give
And I’ll survive, I will survive, hey, hey

It took all the strength I had not to fall apart
Kept trying hard to mend the pieces of my broken heart
And I spent, oh, so many nights just feeling sorry for myself
I used to cry but now I hold my head up high

And you see me, somebody new
I’m not that chained up little person still in love with you
And so you felt like dropping in and just expect me to be free
But now I’m saving all my loving for someone who’s loving me

Go on now, go, walk out the door, just turn around now
‘Cause you’re not welcome anymore
Weren’t you the one, who tried to break me with goodbye
Did you think I’d crumble? Did you think I’d lay down and die?

Oh, no, not I, I will survive
Oh, as long as I know how to love, I know I’ll stay alive
I’ve got all my life to live, I’ve got all my love to give
And I’ll survive, I will survive, oh

Go on now, go, walk out the door, just turn around now
‘Cause you’re not welcome anymore
Weren’t you the one, who tried to break me with goodbye
Did you think I’d crumble? Did you think I’d lay down and die?

Oh, no, not I, I will survive
Oh, as long as I know how to love, I know I’ll stay alive
I’ve got all my life to live, I’ve got all my love to give
And I’ll survive, I will survive, I will survive
