Sorry if there is another thread on this.

Can anyone recommend me songs with meaningful and touching lyrics that aren't so love-themed? Something like Graduation-Vitamin C or Forgotten Children and Don't Jump-Tokio Hotel. No rap please.

Group 1 Crew - Forgive Me

The lyrics are really sad and meaningful.

Shinhwa - Once In A Lifetime & Run (Korean)
Dan-Beam - Mai Mi Wan Nai Mai Kit Teung Tur (There's Never A Day That I Don't Miss You) (Thai)
THSK - Beautiful you & DARKNESS EYES (Japanese)
DBSK (still same group) - Free Your Mind, Tri-Angle, Rising Sun & "O" Jung Ban Hap (Korean)

English:

^ I agree.

I also really like "Breathe Again" by Juwita Suwito and "Same Side of the Moon" by Corrinne May.

Utada Hikaru - First Love. This song was awesome.
OMG & i almost forgot, when you're gone by avril lavigne, & what hurts the most by Rascal Flatts. Those two videos made me cry T-T

Natasha Bedingfield's Unwritten and Soulmate
Utada Hikaru's First Love and Final Distance

there's only one song that really makes me cry

alan luo zhi xiang (xiao zhu)'s LI LIANG

1000 Words - Koda Kumi
Futatsu No Kodo To Akai Tsumi - ON/OFF
My Heart Will Go On - Titanic (I'm not a big fan of Celine Dion, but it's really emotional the way she sings it with the part from the movie)
Most of Utada's songs are meaningful, especially Final Distance and First Love.
