Art,Emotion and the Universal nerve.

As humans we are diverse in apearance, belief, and lifestyle, but the one common thing we share is we all feel the same emotions.

In literature and art there are things we all find beauty in. It could be a picture , a poem or a song. When this happens its said to have struck a universal nerve. Its something we can all relate to and laugh or cry together.

As a way to better understand one another I would like people to share the lyrics to a song they feel expresses a part of themself. Please try to keep it nice if at all possible.

I will start with one of my all time favorites

ILLUSION- VNV NATION

I know it's hard to tell how mixed up you feel
Hoping what you need is behind every door
Each time you get hurt, I don't want you to change
Because everyone has hopes, you're human after all
The feeling sometimes, wishing you were someone else
Feeling as though you never belong
This feeling is not sadness, this feeling is not joy
I truly understand, Please, don't cry now

Please don't go, I want you to stay
I'm begging you please, please don't leave here
I don't want you to hate for all the hurt that you feel
The world is just illusion trying to change you
Please don't go, I want you to stay
I'm begging you please, please don't leave here
I don't want you to hate for all the hurt that you feel
The world is just illusion trying to change you

Being like you are
Well this is something else, who would comprehend?
But some that do, lay claim that
Divine purpose blesses them
That's not what I believe, it doesn't matter anyway
A part of your soul ties you to the next world
Or maybe to the last, I'm still not sure
What I do know is, to use the world is different
As we are to the world but, I guess you would know that

Please don't go, I want you to stay
I'm begging you please, please don't leave here
I don't want you to hate for all the hurt that you feel
The world is just illusion trying to change you
Please don't go, I want you to stay
I'm begging you please, please don't leave here
I don't want you to hate for all the hurt that you feel
The world is just illusion always trying to change you; ▶ Reply to This
