Lyrically Speaking for March 9
For this week, I think we need to focus on inspiration. I know the whole point of this weekly post is to inspire, I think there are songs that do the job based on getting you into a writing mood but also there are some that do it based on the lyrics themselves.
The band Relient K is an interesting band that has punk-style music but also has inspiring lyrics. I wouldn't categorize them as 'Christian Rock' but there are mentions of a being (not named) as helping them. I'm not religious by any means but these songs are good, while not shoving any beliefs down your throat. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
From the album Mmhmm, this is More Than Useless.
I feel like, I would like To be somewhere else doing something that matters And I'll admit here, while I sit here My mind wastes away and my doubts start to gather
Whats the purpose? It feels worthless So unwanted like I've lost all my value I can't find it, not in the least bit and I'm just scared, so scared that I'll fail you
And sometimes I think that I'm not any good at all And sometimes I wonder why, why I'm even here at all But then you assure me
I'm a little more than useless And when I think that I can't do this You promise me that I'll get through this And do something right Do something right for once
So I say if I can't, do something significant I'll opt to leave most opportunities wasted And nothing trivial, that life could give me will Measure up to what might have replaced it
Too late look, my date book Is packed full of days that were empty and now gone And I bet, that regret Will prove to get me to improve in the long run
And sometimes I think that I'm not any good at all And sometimes I wonder why, why I'm even here at all But then you assure me
I'm a little more than useless And when I think that I can't do this You promise me that I'll get through this And do something right Do something right for once
I’m a little more than useless And I never knew I knew this Was gonna the day, gonna be the day That I would do something right Do something right for once
I notice, I know this Week is a symbol of how I use my time Resent it, I spent it Convincing myself the world's doing just fine Without me Doing anything of any consequence Without me Showing any sign of ever making sense Of my time , it's my life And my right, to use it like I should Like he would, for the good Of everything that I would ever know
I'm a little more than useless When I think that I can't do this You promise me that I'll get through this And do something right Do something right for once
I’m a little more than useless And I never knew I knew this Was gonna the day, gonna be the day That I would do something right Do something right for once
