Top 5.. holy cow. That's extremely difficult seeing as my "favorites" are always subject to change. I'll look at more "recent" bands.
For now I'll say:
Innocence and ignorance;
it all goes hand in hand,
I'm not sure that I'm right,
but I hope you understand.
I hope that you're still searching for the start that has no end,
and all the plastic people have now become your friends.
"The Dream" -- Shinedown
Don't say I'm out of touch with this rampant chaos - your reality.
I know well what lies beyond my sleeping refuge:
the nightmare I built my own world to escape.
"Imaginary" -- Evanescence
It never stops - you can't be everything to everyone.
Contagion, I'm sitting at the side of Satan.
What do you want from me?
They never told me the failure I was meant to be.
"People = S**t" -- Slipknot
Summer move forward and stitch me the fabric of fall,
wrap life in the brilliance of death to humble us all.
"Drought" -- Vienna Teng
And last, but not least, forgive me while I proceed to post an entire song. The entire thing truly is wonderful, at least in my opinion.
International airport
Waiting for my flight home
in a terminal filled with strangers I'll never get to know.
Weaving through one another, we chase the blue concourse signs
And with our cell phones and the daily news we draw our boundary lines.
The possibilities float like ghosts in this waiting room of idle hearts.
Dont be polite, just be real.
I want to know how you feel.
I want to find out who you are.
You'll never know the things you've missed
if you contemplate but never try,
To scale the walls outside your soul where even the bravest hide.
The chance is yours for the taking, and everything depends on
This transient moment that could turn strangers into friends.
The possibilities fill the air like a song played from far away.
Full of stories, hopes, dreams,
and laced with insecurity, scars, and pain.
The possibilities float like ghosts
And they're haunting my every thought.
So please tell me all your stories.
You can show me your scars.
And well celebrate just being here
And being who we are.
Of all the love of all the friends
of all the things that could have been
If we had only let them in.
We'll never know the things we've missed if we never try
To let down our guard and let out who we are inside.

"To me, 'all hope is gone' is a very positive thing to say because hope means expectations, and when you give up expectation, you embrace whatâs going to happen."
