A Hardcore buddhist song?
I was listening to a song the other day, which I hadn't heard in ages.... before I started looking at buddhism anyway. And when I listened to the song, it kinda spoke to me about buddhism.
Look for yourselves at the Lyrics -
Papa Roach - Between Angels and Insects
And okay... there's a bit of swearing and stuff, but if you look at it, you can see it's talking about attatchment to material things bringing no happiness
:rocker: :rocker: :rocker: :rocker:
Look for yourselves at the Lyrics -
Papa Roach - Between Angels and Insects
There’s no money there’s no possessions
Only obsession I don’t need that shit
Take my money take my obsession
I just want to be heard loud and clear are my words
Coming from within man tell them what you heard
It’s about a revolution in your heart and in your mind
Till you find a conclusion lost out in obsession
Diamond rings get you nothing but a life long lesson
And your pocketbooks stressing
You’re a slave to the system working jobs that you hate for that shit you don’t need
It’s too bad the world is based on greed
Step back and see
Stop thinking about yourself start thinking about
There’s no money there’s no possession only
Obsession I don’t need that shit
Take my money take my possession take my obsession
I don’t need that shit
Because everything is nothing
And emptiness isn’t everything
This reality is really just a fucked up dream
With the flesh and the blood that you call your soul
Flip it inside out it’s a big black hole
Take your money burn it up like an asteroid
Possession though you’re never gonna feel the void
Take it away and learn your best lesson
The heart the soul the life the passion
There’s no money there’s no possession
Only obsession I don’t need that shit
Take my money take my possession take my obsession
I don’t need that shit
Money possession obsession
Present yourself press your clothes comb your hair
And clock in
You just can’t win just can’t win
And the things you own own you
Nooooooooooooo
Take my money take my possession take my obsession
I don’t need that shit
Fuck your money fuck your possession fuck your
Obsession I don’t need that shit
Money possession obsession I don’t need that shit
And okay... there's a bit of swearing and stuff, but if you look at it, you can see it's talking about attatchment to material things bringing no happiness

Well I have a home
Longing to roam
I have to find you
I have to meet you
Signs of your face
Slowing your pace
I need your guidance
I need to seek my
Innervision(x2)
My pupils dance
Lost in a trance
Your sacred silence
Losing all violence
Stars in their place
Mirror your face
I need to find you
I need to seek my
Innervision (x3)
It's never too late to re-invent the bicycle
A smile brings forth energy
Your life giving you force
Vision
There's only one true path in life
The road that leads to all leads to one
There's only one true path in life
The road that leads to our hearts
Vision
Innervision
Your sacred silence
Losing all violence

Freed From Desire Lyrics
by Gala
My love has got no money He's got his strong beliefs
My love has got no power He's got his strong beliefs
My love has got no fame He's got his strong beliefs
My love has got no money He's got his strong beliefs
Want more and more
People just want more and more
Freedom and love
What he's looking for
Want more and more
People just want more and more
Freedom and love
What he's looking for
Freed from desire Mind and senses purified
Freed from desire Mind and senses purified
Freed from desire Mind and senses purified
Freed from desire
Nanana...
My love has got no money He's got his strong beliefs
My love has got no power He's got his strong beliefs
My love has got no fame He's got his strong beliefs
My love has got no money He's got his strong beliefs
Want more and more
People just want more and more
Freedom and love
What he's looking for
Want more and more
People just want more and more
Freedom and love
What he's looking for
Freed from desire Mind and senses purified
Freed from desire Mind and senses purified
Freed from desire Mind and senses purified
Freed from desire
Nanana...
My Ding-A-Ling - Chuck Berry
When I was a little biddy boy
My grandmother bought me a cute little toy
Silver bells hanging on a string
She told me it was my ding-a-ling-a-ling
My Ding-A-Ling My Ding-A-Ling I want you to play with My Ding-A-Ling
My Ding-A-Ling My Ding-A-Ling I want you to play with My Ding-A-Ling
Then mama took me to Grammar school
But I stopped off in the Besta Beau
Evertime that bell would ring
Catch me playing with my ding-a-ling
Once I was climbing the garden wall,
I slipped and had a terrible fall
I fell so hard I heard birds ring,
But held on to My ding-a-ling
Once I was swimming cross turtle creek
Man them snappers all around my feet
Sure was hard swimming cross that thing
with both hands holding my ding-a-ling
This here song it ain't so sad
The cutest little song you ever had
Those of you who will not sing
You must be playing with your own Ding-a-ling

But, who knows what their lyrics mean. Plus, you have to be a hardcore Yes fan (which I am) to even listen to this album.

Or I might just have to swap a vowel...

May every living being our minds as one and radiant with light,
share the fruits of peace with hearts of goodness, luminous and bright.
If people hear and see how hands and hearts can find, in giving unity,
may their minds awake to Great Compassion, Wisdom, and to Joy.
May kindness find reward, may all who sorrow leave their grief and pain.
May this boundless light break the darkness of their endless night.
Because our hearts are one, this world of pain turns into Paradise.
May all become compasionate and wise; may all become compassionate and wise.
Peace!

saetia
because it cuts so deep to see myself
wishing upon melted stars
I cut the cord I finally give in...
beyond visions of wretched smiles and
the dread that they've befriended.
I have seen an end to you and I
(when did "we" begin)
and a warped sense of being that I embrace must exist and we with whole
hearts yet broken words.
We dream of wisdom but I yearn only for you.
You will destroy me with words that you have never spoken...
I've drawn a picture of us twisted within,
yet below this world I absorb life from portraits.
as long as we remain abreast of one another we will never meet each other.
As long as we whisper to one another we will never fully hear each other.
As long as my eyelids are weighed down by desire and one dying wish.
I will never know when you appear.
Palzang, is that even a hardcore song? this song I jsut typed out is probably about a girl, but it address the issue of attachment.
love peace and chicken grease
Palzang
love peace and chicken grease
Palzang
Nuff sed.

Yes, you should see a flock of them rising above the mango trees in the morning! Exquisite!

Who cares if the song is hardcore or not, I didn't start this thread to show people the song beacuase it was hardcore, but because I thought it made a couple of connections with buddhism!
Yes, Dave, but you forget how Monkey-minded we are here. We just hop from one metaphorical tree to the next.
I thought we had a moderator that was supposed to keep things on track - but those two are probably involved in slap and tickle all day long. Wink. Wink. Nudge. Nudge. KnowhatImean? KnowwhatImean? Say no more. Say no more.
