O incrível das músicas deles é que elas acompanham todas as fases de um renascimento (pelo menos o meu). São músicas que falam tudo o que você quer, mesmo quando não consegue.
Peguei as partes das letras que mais me chamam atenção (cada paragrafo é uma música) e tentei fazer um grande texto que faça sentido como se fosse uma história só. Pelo menos para mim fez sentido.


I'm on the run
I'm on the ropes this time
where is my song?
I'll sing with what's left of me

All attempts have failed
All my heads are tails
I've got reasons why
I'm losing ground and gaining speed
I've lost myself or most of me
I'm headed for the final precipice
But you haven't lost me yet
No you haven't lost me yet
I'll sing until my heart caves in
No, you haven't lost me yet
These days pass me by
I dream with open eyes
Nightmares haunt my days
Visions blur my nights
I'm so confused
What's true or false
What's fact or fiction after all
I feel like I'm an apparition's pet
If it doesn't break
If it doesn't break your heart it isn't love
If it doesn't break your heart it's not enough
It's when you're breaking down
With your insides coming out
That's when you find out what your heart is made of
And you haven't lost me yet

Life is not what I thought it was
Twenty-four hours ago
There's twenty-four reasons
To admit that I'm wrong
With all my excuses
Still twenty-four strong
When you're raising the dead in me
I wanna see miracles
To see the world change
For more than a feeling
For more than a cause
I'm not copping out
Not copping out

these are the scars
deep in your heart
this is the hole
where most of your soul
comes ripping out
from the places you've been torn
I'm caving in
I'm in love again
I'm a wretched man
every breath is a second chance

Everything inside you know there's more than what you heard
So much more than empty conversation filled with empty words
You're on fire, burning at these mysteries
Give me one more time around
Give me one more chance to see
I've been standing on the edge of me
standing on the edge of everything I've never been before

She's undone tonight,
She's all used up,
She's been staring down the demons,
Who've been screaming she's just another so and so,
Another so and so
You are golden,
You are golden, Child
You are golden,
Don't let go
And the more we learn,
The less we know
We've been talkin' about a feeling,
We both know inside but couldn't find the words
Earth Spins and your mind goes round
And everything will be made new again
Like freedom and spring

It's a long way from my thoughts
To what I'll say
It's a long, long way from paradise
To where I am today
All that's in my head
Is in Your hands
It's a long way from
The moon up to the sun
It's a longer ahead of me
The road that I've begun
Stop to think of all the
Time I've lost
Start to think of all the
Bridges that I've burned
That must be crossed
Over, over, over
Take me over
I've been poison
I've been rain
I've been fooled again
I've seen ashes
Shine like chrome
Someday I'll see home
I can see the stars
From way down here
It's a long way from the
Shadows in my cave
Up to Your reality to
Watch the sunlight taking over

Sunshine, come and help me sing
My heart is darker than these oceans
My heart is frozen underneath
We are crooked souls trying to stay up straight,
Dry eyes in the pouring rain while
The shadow proves the sunshine
To scared that I'll run aways
Hold fast to the break of daylight were
The shadow proves the sunshine
Yeah Yeah, shine on me

what are you waiting for,
the day is gone?
I said I'm waiting for dawn
what are you aiming for out here alone?
I said I'm aiming for home
holding on, holding on
with red eyes
What are you looking for?
with red eyes
all of my days are spent
within this skin
within this cage that I'm in
holding on, holding on
every now and then I see you dreaming
every now and then I see you cry
every now and then I see you reaching,
reaching for the other side
what are you waiting for?

Here we are now with the falling sky and the rain,
We're awakening
Here we are now with the desperate youth and the pain,
We're awakening
Maybe it's called ambition, you've been talking in your sleep
About a dream, We're awakening
Last week found me living for nothing but deadlines,
With my dead beat sky but, this town doesn't look the same tonight
These dreams started singing to me out of nowhere
And in all my life I don't know if I've ever felt so alive, alive
I want to wake up kicking and screaming
I want a heart that I know is beating,
I want to live like I know what I'm leaving
It's beating, I'm bleeding

Welcome to the planet
Welcome to existence
Everyone's here
What happens next
I dare you to move
I dare you to lift yourself up off the floor
Like today never happened
Today never happened before
Welcome to the fallout
The tension is here
Between who you are and who you could be
Between how it is and how it should be
Where can you run to escape from yourself?
Where you gonna go?
Salvation is here

I've been keeping my eyes wide open
your love is a symphony
all around me
running through me
your love is a melody
underneath me
running to me
I've been keeping my mind wide open
I've got my eyes wide open
I've been keeping my hopes unbroken

Hello, good morning, how you doin'?
What makes your risin' sun so new?
I could use a fresh beginning too
All of my regrets are nothing new
So this is a way, that I say I need You
This is a way
This is a way that I'm learning to breathe
I'm learning to crawl
I'm finding that you and you alone can break my fall
I'm living again, awake and alive
I'm dying to breathe in these abundant skies

I've been watching the skies
They've been turning blood red
Not a doubt in my mind anymore
There's a storm up ahead
Hello hurricane
You're not enough
Hello hurricane
You can't silence my love
I've got doors and windows boarded up
All your dead end fury is not enough
You can't silence my love
Every thing I have I count as loss
Everything I have is stripped away
Before I started building
I counted up these costs
There's nothing left for you to take away
I'm a fighter fighting for control
I'm a fighter fighting for my soul
Everything inside of me surrenders
You can't silence my love

Maybe I've been the problem
Maybe I'm the one to blame
I've been thinking maybe I've been partly cloudy
Maybe I'm the chance of rain
And maybe I'm overcast
But when I look at the stars
I see someone else
When I look at the stars
The stars,
I feel like myself
And suddenly the infinite and penitent
Begin to look like home

I've got my memories
They're always
Inside of me
But I can't go back
Back to how it was
I believe now
I've come too far
No, I can't go back
Back to how it was
Belief over misery
I've seen the enemy
And I won't go back
Back to how it was
And I got my heart
Set on
What happens next
I got my eyes wide
It's not over yet
We are miracles
And we're not alone
And now after all
My searching
After all my questions
I'm gonna call it home
I got a brand new mindset
I can finally see
The sunset
I'm gonna call it home
Now I know
Yeah, this is home
I've come too far
And I won't go back

There's a song that's inside my soul
It's the one that I've tried to write over and over again
Sing to me the songs of the stars
Of your galaxy dancing and laughing and laughing again
When I feel like my dreams are so far
Sing to me of the plans that you have for me over again
I want your symphony
Singing in all that I am

We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
Somewhere we live inside
Maybe we've been livin with our eyes half open
Maybe we're bent and broken, broken
We want more than this world's got to offer
And everything inside screams for second life, yeah

The world begins
With newborn skin
We are right now
You breathe it in
The highs and lows
We call it living
In this needle and haystack life
I've found miracle's there in your eyes
We are once in a lifetime
No, don't let go
Don't give up hope
All is forgiven
All is not lost
Become who you are
It happens once in a lifetime

Life is a day that doesn't last for long.
Life is more than money, time was never money.
Time was never cash, life is still more than girls.
Life is more than hundred dollar bills and roto-tom fills.
Life is more than fame and rock and roll and thrills,
All the riches of the kings end up in wills
We've got information in the information age
but do we know what life is outside of our convenient Lexus cages?
Every moment that we borrow brings us closer
to a God who's not short of cash
Hey Bono, I'm glad you asked.
Life is still worth living, Life is still worth living.
Life is more that we are.
