Hoobastank- The Reason

[LikRetsam]

This song is quite funny. It explains quite well why most of us came to this site and how we thought about gals with an AFC mentality.
It's also ironic that it can be seen in the other way! You were a jerk or whatever and mistreated girls and you f*cked up on the one shot you had when you found the "right" chick. So here you are, realising your mistake and forever changing yourself because you found someone who was worth it. Someone so great, that they could drive you to fundamentally change.
Powerful to say the least.

In case you are too lasy to DL it:

I'm not a perfect person
There's many things I wish I didn't do
But I continue learning
I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know
I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
and the reason is you
I'm sorry that I hurt you
It's something I must live with everyday
And all the pain I put you through
I wish that I could take it all away
And be the one who catches all your tears
Thats why i need you to hear
I've found a resaon for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
and the reason is You [x4]
I'm not a perfect person
I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know
I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
and the reason is you
I've found a reason to show
A side of me you didn't know
A reason for all that I do
And the reason is you

Just realized I can't spell lazy. The point isn't wether you like them or not, personally I don't. i'm talking about the lyrics to their song.

Everyone's entitled to an opinion, but when you suck as bad as Hoobastank, no one will listen, and their opinion is also probably wrong.

i think hoobastank arent that bad

Yeah, that song is a bit AFC. It's also ridiculously easy to play on guitar.

OMFG...im guess thats what they considered when they wrote it.

 

[Hit Dat Sht]

afc song, I don't see where you were going with it

Sounds like another typical song the radio has been spewing out recently. I saw the video while flipping through mtv and couldn't stand hearing it for 30 seconds. If you want to hear a real song to get you off your ass download Pink Floyd - Time that song is the sh*t. All new bands that came out after 2000 are mainstream trash in my opinion.

Then why don't you climb out of the mainstream and notice the hundreds upon hundreds of independent bands and labels that still produce incredibly talented, deep music?

I agree with people who say modern mainstream music sucks. People who say ALL modern music sucks just aren't looking in the right places.

Hey don't get me wrong I still like going to local shows and things like that where some good bands do gigs but i haven't listened to the radio for more than 20 minutes at a time in longer than i can remember. I like the music I listen to which is mainly early 90s and 70s stuff like Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Rage, and Pearl Jam to name a few. Oh can't leave out the 80s with Metallica's earlier stuff and Guns N Roses

You are missing the point. Yes this song is AFC but it shows pretty well why we came to sosuave.

In a sense it does, but I think there are other songs that illustrate that better, and also have lyrics above a 6th-grade writing level.

Because after coming so far and achieving so much, it is good to remember why and how we got to where we are.

This song is simply the most recent and no doubt there are better ones to express this phenomenon.

I don't mean to turn this into another "what was her name" thread about who brought you here but rather to individually remnisce about the event that got you here and how much of an impact this had on your life. Wether that had happened for a reason or just a random event. We are here to think about the reason.

I met my chick. I failed. For the first time of my life I failed with a chick. I worked my ass off with the help of this site and now she is mine. MY prize. What is the reason for this? Was the purpose of her existing in my life for me to change? Why is the question we must all ask ourselves. WHY!?!?!?!

What happened.... why? Where did it take you? How grateful should you be...

This is for you to realise how lucky you ****ing are. How perfect your lives are. How your "problems" of a chick not looking your way once don't even compare to the student in africa trying to learn his alphabet while hearing people getting shot and dieing just outside.

Maybe you should reflect on why you are here. Who you are and what you have done. MAYBE, just maybe you may conclude that you have been given a HUGE chance in this world. You are much better placed to succeed then most others. That you have all the tools you need. That maybe there is a reason for all this and that you may one day serve a higher purpose then you do now. That maybe one day you won't consider not getting ***** today a PROBLEM. That maybe when you trip and fall and maybe get hurt, IT WON'T BE A PROBLEM. That maybe, you are more then you are.

 

[Smooth as Anything]

Saw that gap again today.
While you were begging me to stay.
Take care not to make me enter.
If I do we both may disappear.

Saw that gap again today.
While you were begging me to stay
Managed to push myself away
And you as well, my dear
And you, as well
Pushed you away my dear

I will choke until I swallow
Choke this infant here before me
What are you but my reflection?
Who am I to judge or strike you down?

But you're pushing me
And Im shoving you
And your pushing me
And Im shoving you

Rest your trigger on my finger,
Bang my head upon the fault line
You better take care not to make me enter
If I do we both may disappear

But you're pushing me
And Im shoving you
And your pushing me
And Im shoving you

You still love me

We're pushing and were shoving
And you're pushing and I'm shoving

You still love me

And were pushing and were shoving
And I'm pushing as your shoving

And Im slipping back into the gap again
I feel alive when you touch me...
I feel alive when you hold me...
...down

Slipping back into you

I am somewhere I dont wanna be, yeah
Put me somewhere I dont wanna be
Push me somewhere I dont wanna be
Seeing someplace I don't wanna see
Never wanna see that place again...

Saw that gap again today
While you were begging me to stay
Managed to push myself away,
And you as well, my dear

If, when I say I may fade like a sigh if I stay,
You minimize my movement anyway,
I must persuade you another way

Pushing and Shoving and
Pushing and Shoving and
Pushing me

There's no love in fear.

Staring down the hole again.
Hands are on my back again.
Survival is my only friend.
Terrified of what may come.

Remember I will always love you,
As I claw your ****ing throat away.
It will end no other way.

Tool - Push*t (Damn filter...)

How about this one

Let it slide...overhead
When I believe in you my soul can rest
Whether our love is really love
It never fails but fade it does
When we shine
Like the sun
You seem the only one, my only friend

You're so pretty in white
Pretty when you're faithful
So pretty in white
Pretty when you're faithful
When you're faithful

I resigned
From myself
Took a break
Was someone else
It's like I come undone
I've only just become inflatable for you

So pretty in white
Pretty when you're faithful
So pretty in white
Pretty when you're faithful
So pretty in white
Pretty when you're faithful
When you're faithful

I don't mind
Most of the time
But you push me so...far inside

So pretty in white
Pretty when you're faithful
So pretty in white
Pretty when you're faithful
So pretty in white
Pretty when you're faithful
When you're faithful
When you're faithful


Love Bush but I have to admit this ranks up there with the top AFC songs.
