Songs Written About Enlightenment

[GoingHome]

I’ve really enjoyed this thread and found this forum through searching for “songs about enlightenment”. I decided to join as I decided to google after listening to Lifehouse’s “No name face” album today after many years and realising how enlightened it is. 
 

Jason Wade who wrote most of the songs (when he was 15 - obviously has been here before many times) said this about writing the hit song “Hanging by a moment”:

 

”Writing that song was a stream-of-consciousness where the words were there, the melodies were there, the bridge was there and it was complete in 10 minutes,” he said. “I was like an antenna pulling something down that was already out there. It’s a really crazy feeling.”

 

There are so many great songs on the album with my favourite being Everything, Breathing and Hanging by a Moment. Cling and clatter is good too. He mentions multiple times that it feels like he’s in a dream, in an in between place that the worlds not real.

The first time I heard Hangin By A Moment my whole world came to a stop. ?

@Nahm I found another today - “I started a joke” by Bee Gees. Looked at from a ACIM perspective (and many others I’m sure). It’s perfect! All these 60/70’s drug trips rock bands took really gave them inspiration for truth!

So true! I remember once reading ACIM, for a moment I looked itself through it’s own lens I swear for a hot minute there I thought I was the Sgt Pepper all the hoopla has been about. Who knows. Love is a crazy, crazy drug.

Time is like a bullet from behind
I run for cover just like you
Time is like a liquid in my hands
I swim for dry land just like you

Time is like a blanket on my face
I try to be here just like you
Time is just a fiction of our minds
I will survive and so will you

We are the only ones right now that are celebrating
And we are joining hands right now
We are the only ones right now that are suffocating
We are the dying ones right now

As the water grinds the stone
We rise and fall
As our ashes turn to dust
We shine like stars

Kisses on the dancefloor in my past
I need some comfort just like you
Beating like a bass drum time goes by
I want the last dance just like you

Drowning in the flood of morning light…

Always lifts my mood tremendously

Why should you want any other when you’re a world within a world?

Generals gathered in their masses,
just like witches at black masses.
Evil minds that plot destruction,
sorcerers of death's construction.
In the fields the bodies burning,
as the war machine keeps turning.
Death and hatred to Mankind
poisoning their brainwashed minds...

Oh Lord. 

Politicians hide themselves away,
they only started the war.
Why should they go out to fight?
They leave that role to the poor.
Time will tell on their power minds,
making war just for fun. 
Treating people just like pawns in chess,
wait 'till their judgment day comes. 

Now in darkness, world stops turning -
ashes where the bodies burning. 
No more war pigs have the power,
hand of God has struck the hour.
Day of Judgment, God is calling,
on their knees the war pigs crawling.
Begging mercy for their sins,
satan, laughing, spreads his wings.

Oh Lord. 

 

But I'm holding on for dear life!
Won't look down, won't open my eyes!
Keep my glass full until morning light!
'Cause I'm just holding on for tonight!
Help me, I'm holding on for dear life!
Won't look down, won't open my eyes!
Keep my glass full until morning light!
'Cause I'm just holding on for tonight!
On for tonight!

Sun is up, I'm a mess,
Gotta get out now, gotta run from this,
Here comes the shame, here comes the shame.

1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3 drink
1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3 drink
1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3 drink

 

And we'll never be royals.
It don't run in our blood.
That kind of luxe just ain't for us.
We crave a different kind of buzz.

Let me be your ruler (‘ruler’),
You can call me queen Bee.
And baby I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule.
Let me live that fantasy.
