Well like the topic suggests, this is a long shot, but...
My sister, who is a year older than me, completely ruined her life. She dropped out of college a couple years back. She's basically one of those people who chilled with the "wrong group." I know she takes drugs, drinks, smokes, etc. She has a boyfriend who just got locked back up for stealing car radios (he was already on parole for the same crime). She thinks she is going to marry the kid and spend the rest of the life with him. That greatly disturbs me. I tried getting through her thick skull by talking to her, but nothing seems to work. I've tried everything I could do it seems. Can anyone think of any songs that say like "look into the future and see what it holds for you, is that what you really want?" and "change your life around or you will never be happy." Something along those lines. Please help, I'm desperate!
Thanks.

Sean

It's an american Hi Fi I think it's called.. What about today..

It's getting hard, but you don't even know,
Maybe you can't see,
I'm getting tired, I'm wasted,
I'll panic on,

Hearts are sick and blind,
Yeah well you don't even know,
All you gotta do, just stop and ask me,
Silver chrome and steam,
Set the tone and send me out,
It's everything you want,
Complete the failure,

No more to say,
What about today, what's really going on,
And between the blinds, of bloodshot eyes,
I thought I'd see my way, see my way,

Hearts are sick and blind,
Yeah well you don't even know,
All you gotta do, just stop and ask me,
Silver chrome and steam,
Set the tone and send me out,
It's everything you want,
Complete the failure,

Yeah you're getting awfully close,
Yeah you're getting awfully close,

Hearts are sick and blind,
Yeah well you don't even know,
All you gotta do, just stop and ask me,
Silver chrome and steam,
Set the tone and send me out,
It's everything you want,
Complete the failure,
Complete the failure,
Complete the failure.

but wait there's more..
and you should talk to that latinolako.. or whatever guy.. because he went thru some of the same thing a while back with his sis..

Or this TRUSTcompany- hover

You take me down, further inside of me
Now I'm fading out, I can barely see
I hover

To see you leave again, it's over
And it kills me to watch you descend, to the end

Can't think straight
Shutting me out - closing me out
Are you trying - hurting
Taking me out - leaving me out
Keeps me struggeling
You're leaving

You take me down, further inside of me
Now I'm fading out, I can barely see
I hover

to see you caving in i'm undone
And to say it's the last time again
It's the end

Can't think straight
Shutting me out - closing me out
Are you trying - hurting
Taking me out - leaving me out
Keeps me struggeling
I'm leaving

You take me down, further inside of me
Now I'm fading out, I can barely see
I hover

I'm watching you descend
I'm hovering instead
I'm watching you descend
I'm hovering instead

You take me down, further inside
Now I can see through you

You take me down, further inside of me
Now I'm fading out, I can barely see
I hover
I hover
I hover
I hover – again

rock on

Hmm, thanks for trying, but those songs aren't her "type." She won't stand to listen to punkish music either. Ugh, this sucks.

Pandora | 07-02-2003 01:54

well hun.. what type of music does she listen to?

I just presumed..

tell me what I am looking for..

Well she likes rap, but I can get away with any kind of slow oldies song, or just a downbeat selection. I guess...

Pandora | 09-02-2003 01:42

well I looked and looked.. but I don't really know any rap or anything.. if you could like give me an idea of some people she listens to .. maybe that would help.. but I was bringing this back to the top so some one else can try too..

rock on

Pandora | 09-02-2003 20:17
