This song is about the impermanence of the moment and how every moment will eventually pass into nothing. So, cherish the moments you do have while they are here.

Be My Last (Japanese lyrics [English translation below])
Lyrics: Utada Hikaru Music: Utada Hikaru
Kaa-san doushite
Sodateta mono made
Jibun de kowasa nakya nara nai hi ga kuru no?
Barabara ni natta KORAAJU
Suterare nai no wa
Nanimo tsunage nai te
Kimi no te tsunaida toki datte...
*Be my last... be my last...
Be my last... be my last...
Douka kimi ga be my last...
Nare nai doushi de yoku ganbatta ne
Machigatta koi wo shita kedo
Machigai dewa nakatta
Nanimo tsukame nai te
Yumemiteta no wa doko made?
With my hands With my hands
With my hands With my hands
Watashi no te de be my last...
Itsuka musubareru yori
Konya ichijikan aitai
Nanimo tsunage nai te
Otona butteta no wa dare?
*Repeat

Be My Last (English Translation)
Lyrics: Utada Hikaru Translation: Jonathan Wu
Mom, why is that
the things we were brought up with
are destroyed by ourselves, as the days keep coming?
The collage breaks into pieces
but it’s not thrown away
There’s nothing in my hands
even when you’re holding them...
*Be my last... be my last...
Be my last... be my last...
Please you have to be my last...
Unknown friends told me to do my best
But this love was a mistake
No, it wasn’t a mistake
There’s nothing to grasp with my hands..
how far will this dream go?
With my hands With my hands
With my hands With my hands
With my hands, be my last...
Rather than being together some day,
I would be with you tonight, just for a hour
Who is the adult,
who’s connected hand is still empty?
*Repeat

Prince featuring Tevin Campbell - Round and Round
This song is about putting your thoughts into action.
Prince featuring Tevin Campbell - "Round and Round"
Oh yeah
Round and round and round
Round, round
Yeah, yeah, yeah, ooh yeah
Can u tell me where were going 2?
Can u tell me what it is we really want 2 find?
Is the truth really there? or is it right under our hair?
4 all we know its been there all the time.
I say, nothing comes from dreamers but dreams
I say, sitting idle in our boat while everyone else is down the stream
Nothing comes from talkers but sound
We can talk all we want 2, but the world still goes around and round.
Round and round. we go round and round and round.
And what were looking 4 still isnt found
Can u tell me when we gonna get 2 it.
Im tired of fooling around I said I wanna do it. (go 4 it, get 2 it)
I learned my lesson young, I said if want to have fun (go 4 it)
And when u win say, I knew it (go 4 it, get 2 it)
Nothing comes from dreamers but dreams
I say, sitting idle in our boat while everyone else is down the stream
Nothing comes from talkers but sound
We can talk all we want 2, but the world still goes around and round.
Round, round, round, round, round, round
Round and round (get get get get 2 it, go 4 it, get 2 it)
We go round and round and round.
And what were looking 4 still isnt found
1 day Ill make it in the big city
And Ill be looking 4 a girl whos pretty
1 day Ill make a play and she will say ok
cause I plan 2 be a cool kitty
Round and round.
I say, nothing comes from dreamers but dreams
I say, sitting idle in our boat while everyone else is down the stream
Nothing comes from talkers but sound
We can talk all we want 2, but the world still goes around and round.
Round and round. we go round and round and round.
And what were looking 4 still isnt found
Round and round we go. round and round we go.
Round and round and round and round and round and round we go.
Round and round, round and round,
Round and round we go, round and round we go
Round and round.

Assemblage 23 - Ground
Another song to listen to when you feel trapped. Reminds us that it's not as bad as it seems. We can always move forward.
Video features characters from Kingdom Hearts I and II.
Assemblage 23 Ground Lyrics
Be still
Though chaos rains around you now
Only so much rain can fall at once
Breathe in
And let the air envelope you
And slow but sure, serenity will come
Close your eyes
Try to breathe
Feel the ground beneath your feet
It's still there
The world still turns around
Stand up
Though circumstance has knocked you down
There is nothing gained by staying within it's reach
Take strength
In every failure you endure
Our mistakes have many lessons they can teach
Close your eyes
Try to breathe
Feel the ground beneath your feet
It's still there
The world still turns around
Destroy
These walls you've built around yourself
You can't take another step until they're gone
Move out
No use in dwelling in the past
Bid farewell to all your fears and carry on
Close your eyes
Try to breathe
Feel the ground beneath your feet
It's still there
The world still turns around

3 Days Grace - Never Too Late
If you are feeling trapped or fed up, this is a great song to listen to. It was on my myspace for several months.
THREE DAYS GRACE LYRICS
"Never Too Late"
This world will never be
What I expected
And if I don't belong
Who would have guessed it
I will not leave alone
Everything that I own
To make you feel like it's not too late
It's never too late
Even if I say
It'll be alright
Still I hear you say
You want to end your life
Now and again we try
To just stay alive
Maybe we'll turn it all around
'Cause it's not too late
It's never too late
No one will ever see
This side reflected
And if there's something wrong
Who would have guessed it
And I have left alone
Everything that I own
To make you feel like
It's not too late
It's never too late
Even if I say
It'll be alright
Still I hear you say
You want to end your life
Now and again we try
To just stay alive
Maybe we'll turn it all around
'Cause it's not too late
It's never too late
The world we knew
Won't come back
The time we've lost
Can't get back
The life we had
Won't be ours again
This world will never be
What I expected
And if I don't belong
Even if I say
It'll be alright
Still I hear you say
You want to end your life
Now and again we try
To just stay alive
Maybe we'll turn it all around
'Cause it's not too late
It's never too late
Maybe we'll turn it all around
'Cause it's not too late
It's never too late (It's never too late)
It's not too late
It's never too late

Delerium - Euphoria (Glow)
About being positive and letting go to love and the power within.
Delerium - Euphoria
And how I have loved
And I have served
And I have sinned
But I have learnt
As long as you are true to the life
That you live
This is the time to feel love
I feel a stirring deep within
Slowly picking up momentum
Like the tide coming in to shore
Over and under in its course
This feeling emblazed inside
Every nerve like a firefly
Hovering above me
Glowing, Glow, Glowing
Glowing divine
Every nerve like a firefly
This feeling emblazed inside
Every nerve like a firefly
I never want to lose what I finally found
There's a requiem
A new congregation
And it's telling me go forward and walk
Under a brighter sky
Every nerve glowing like a firefly
Glowing divine
Every nerve like a firefly
Glow

Killswitch Engage - Unbroken
This is another song about facing life head on without fear and shaping it the way you want it. I thought it was interesting how Cloud was the "adversity" and Kadaj was the protagonist. LOL.
Killswitch Engage - Unbroken
Go!
Forever falling, Into oblivion
The darkness crawls forward
It engulfs, my will to live
Fear is failure
And this is my motivation
Take back what was stolen
Reclaim all thats lost
With virtue, I will rise up from the ruins
C'mon!
Through adversity, there is redemption
With passion, fighting
I am unbroken
Through adversity, there is redemption
With passion, fighting
I am, unbroken!!
Take back what was stolen
Embrace the cycle
Refuse to turn back now and be led astray
Fear is failure
And this is my afirmation
Through adversity, there is redemption
With passion, fighting
I am unbroken
Through adversity, there is redemption
With passion, fighting
Unbroken!!
The absence of fear, is the renewal of ourself
The absence of doubt, breeds desire
If there is truth to face
I will design it
I will not be denied!

DJ Tiesto - Perception (Cass and Slide)
A song about being fearless and following your dreams even throughout the unknown.
Cass & Slide - Perception
You can see forever
Look inside of your mind
Find a sense another wonder
Just release the fears you left behind
Feel your way through the darkness
Guide your soul into the light
Swim into the open water
Drift on the tides that you may find
Find your soul in the sunrise
Look around you can see it in their eyes
Be as one together
Rise up as the emptiness subsides
You can see forever
Rise up together
Search and you will find the answer
If you look deep inside of your mind

Welcome - Eat Up!
Hi there. Welcome to my little blog. I listen to almost anything under the sun. You may or may not agree with me -- everyone likes different types of music.
I usually find myself singing along to anything on the radio. Sure the beat or tune may be nice, but when I actually listen to myself, it's like -- who wrote this? So on the menu today and everyday is music with a deeper meaning.
Eat Up and Enjoy!
