Several weeks ago, one of my classmates in comp class shared "Skyscraper" with us. Honestly, I've heard this song, but I didn't think this song was good. Because at the first time I heard Skyscraper, I thought this was jsut a normal song. Nevertheless, when she shared this again in the comp class, I had different feelings. I think that maybe at this moment you listen to this song, but the song may not strike your heart. But, maybe next time you listen to the song again, you will have another feel. This was what happened to me. I started to listen to Skyscraper on Youtube. This song is so easy to understand and powerful!
Here are several sentences I like:
"Do you have to make me feel like there is nothing left on me?"
"You can take everything I have,
you can break everything I am,
Like I'm made of glass,
Like I'm made of paper,
Go on and try to tear me down,
I'll be rising from the ground,
Like a skyscraper."
When I heard this part, my heart started to....
I can't tell that...maybe that was an emotional explosion or a......heart attack. =_=
Several days ago, I found a cover of Skyscraper, performed by Travis Ratledge.
I don't know who he is. Haha
Lyrics below, and just try to enjoy Skyscraper!
Skies are crying
I am watching
Catching teardrops in my hands
Only silence, as it's ending
Like we never had a chance
Do you have to make me feel like there's nothing left of me?
You can take everything I have
You can break everything I am
Like I'm made of glass
Like I'm of paper
Go on and try to tear me down
I'll be rising from the ground
Like a skyscraper
Like a skyscraper
As the smoke clears
I awaken and untangle you from me
Would it make feel better
To watch me while I bleed
All my windows, still are broken
But I'm standing on my feet
You can take everything I have
You can break everything I am
Like I'm made of glass
Like I'm of paper
Go on and try to tear me down
I'll be rising from the ground
Like a skyscraper
Like a skyscraper
Go run, run, run
I'm gonna stay right here
Watch you disappear
Go run run run
Yeah its a long way down
But I'm closer to clouds up here
You can take everything I have
You can break everything I am
Like I'm made of glass
Like I'm of paper
Go on and try to tear me down
I'll be rising from the ground
Like a skyscraper
Like a skyscraper
Like a skyscraper
Like a skyscraper
Like a skyscraper
I am watching
Catching teardrops in my hands
Only silence, as it's ending
Like we never had a chance
Do you have to make me feel like there's nothing left of me?
You can take everything I have
You can break everything I am
Like I'm made of glass
Like I'm of paper
Go on and try to tear me down
I'll be rising from the ground
Like a skyscraper
Like a skyscraper
As the smoke clears
I awaken and untangle you from me
Would it make feel better
To watch me while I bleed
All my windows, still are broken
But I'm standing on my feet
You can take everything I have
You can break everything I am
Like I'm made of glass
Like I'm of paper
Go on and try to tear me down
I'll be rising from the ground
Like a skyscraper
Like a skyscraper
Go run, run, run
I'm gonna stay right here
Watch you disappear
Go run run run
Yeah its a long way down
But I'm closer to clouds up here
You can take everything I have
You can break everything I am
Like I'm made of glass
Like I'm of paper
Go on and try to tear me down
I'll be rising from the ground
Like a skyscraper
Like a skyscraper
Like a skyscraper
Like a skyscraper
Like a skyscraper
