So whats the staind lyric that means the most to you, I know it might be a bit mainstream of me but I'd still have to go with the bridge on "outside". No matter what that lyric always takes me back to a rough time in my life, and it was just amazing to me that aaron could express it all so perfectly.

it was:

"All the times, that I've tried
All this wasted, it's all inside
And I feel, all this pain
Stuffed it down, it's back again
And I lie, here in bed
All alone, I can't mend
But I feel, tomorrow will be OK"

Idk, maybe it's the emotion in his voice, really trips me out...

geez I feel like they play the music of my life... every song is applicable at one time or another. I guess when I was going through my divorce I realized the true meaning of outside (for me anyway).

But I'm on the outside
I'm looking in
I can see through you
See your true colors
Cause inside you're ugly
You're ugly like me
I can see through you
See to the real you

not that either one of us were ugly inside but trying to make something work that just wasn't made it that way.

I think now what lyrics really speak to me are:

Now that were here,
its so far away all the struggle we thought was in
vain all the mistakes,
one life contained they all finally start to go away
now that were here,
its so far away and i feel
like i can face the day i can forgive,
and im not ashamed to be the
person that i am today

big emphasis on "and im not ashamed to be the
person that i am today"

and add "Somebody shake me, 'cause I must be sleeping, I'm so afraid of waking, please don't shake me"

lmao actually the whole damn song

Wow...I don't think i could pick just one song. They are all very meaningful to me...but now that I really think about it, Excess Baggage gets to me the most.

Always loved that song... can't imagine what it's like to love someone that much... blessing and a curse all in one I imagine...

Mine would be outside to just for the last line "tommrow will be ok" Allways gave me somthing to look forward to that probley sounds coorny as hell but yeah I love that song.

excess baggage was tha reason i picked up guitar, i love it

I picked up the guitar for Led Zeppelin's "The Rain Song" and never looked back. 6 guitars and a lot of emotions later it really saved my life lol as well as made me a really cool "chick"

Fray....
I know that everything can change
What I need is to open up again
So never again will I look back in vain
'Cause today's not the past
I don't need to relive it

Spleen
I don't understand it
You're killing this planet
The scabs on your face
It's a fucking disgrace
I blame you

I think that's it for now......

almost all their songs have really touched my soul at one time or another. but the one that is by far the best and raises my hair everytime i hear it start to begin is "So Far Away" the lyrics prefectly fit how my life has gone the last several years. i proposed to my wife while Staind was preforming it in Detriot.<(best moment ever!) and had the song played after we walked down the aisle

and i think the song really somes up the bands whole career as well. it deffenitely defines them.

you proposed during the actual performance? sweet as fuck man, how'd your wifey like that? i hope not offended but if she was along with you she must be a staind fan also. i've just lately got my girlfriend into staind, she totally loves them now, so thats a big plus for me. we hope to see a show if they come near the st. louis area for a tour *crosses fingers*

It really depends what mood your in.

I use to fight alot with my rents and the song that i played really loud down the sair at them afterwards was For You but i think im right in saying they have a lyric for every mood.

You know some times your just boomed out and u just put on abit of staind and all that built up shit just goes flowwing out of ur body.

Satind play the happest music i know because it makes u feel happy cause u think "u know what its not that bad after all"

yeah, Actualy back in 2002 i was in an AOL chat room and starting talking to someone else who like STAIND (my wife) after months we realized how Asolutely perfect we were for each other and i moved 600 miles from PA to IN to be with her. so thats how we met now you can see why i love the lyrics so much..."now that we're here it's so far away, all the struggle we thought was in vain"

"Excess Baggage" hands down.

Those lyrics touch me, the whole song does. You gotta really listen and understand the fuckin lyrics, and sends chills down your spine...or at least it did to me.

From "Fray"

Wouldn't listen even if I told you, who the fuck am I to say?

good one!

mine is

"if you push me, then i wont fall
Been programmed to take it all
and shove it, way down inside
like my father...like my father.

I mean the best with what I say.
It doesn't alway sound that way.
I never learned to work things out.
Cause in my family all we ever seem to do is shout.

And then I'll find you here
through your eyes
everythings clear
and I'm home
inside your arms
but I'm alone for now.

And, good god, I can't believe I forgot this one...

FUCK EVERYTHING THAT YOU THINK I SHOULD BE...

i cant just pick one. waste, fade, me, crawl, fray,umm i could go on forever...
