Famous Sarah McLachlan Quotes

“We're constantly being told what other people think we are, and that's why it is so important to know yourself.”

“If you only try to please others, you're going to resent those people you're trying to please; the ones who are often closest to you. If you choose a path that you yourself want to take, then you're going to be much kinder to the people in your life.”

Sarah McLachlan

“In the desert of my dreams I saw you there;
And I'm walking towards the water steaming body cold and bare.
But your words cut loose the fire and you left my soul to bleed.
And the pain that's in your truth's deceiving me, has got me scared.
Oh why?”

Sarah McLachlan

Vox
Song lyrics, Touch (1988)

“Deep within I'm shaken by the violence of existing for only you…”

Sarah McLachlan

“So what are we saying?
Our Eden's a failure.
A made-up story to fit the picture-perfect world.
The one with "I do"s and "I love you."
And "we are made for each other."”

Sarah McLachlan

Is forever over now?
U Want Me 2, written by Sarah McLachlan and Pierre Marchand
Song lyrics, Closer: The Best of Sarah McLachlan (2008)

“It doesn't mean much;
It doesn't mean anything at all.
The life I've left behind me
Is a cold room.
I've crossed the last line
From where I can't return.
Where every step I took in faith
Betrayed me
And led me from my home.And sweet sweet surrender
Is all that I have to give.”

Sarah McLachlan

Sweet Surrender
Song lyrics, Surfacing (1997)

Sarah McLachlan Quotes about love

“Love has made me a fool;
It set me on fire and watched as I floundered,
Unable to speak
Except to cry out and wait for your answer.
But you come around in your time,
Speaking of fabulous places.
Create an oasis;
Dries up as soon as you're gone.
You leave me here burning
In this desert without you.”

Sarah McLachlan

Stupid
Song lyrics, Afterglow (2003)

“What ravages of spirit conjured
This temptuous rage;
Created you a monster,
Broken by the rule of love.”

Sarah McLachlan

Do What You Have to Do
Song lyrics, Surfacing (1997)

“I'm so afraid to love you, but more afraid to lose,
Clinging to a past that doesn't let me choose.
Once there was a darkness, deep and endless night;
You gave me everything you had, oh you gave me light.”

Sarah McLachlan

I Will Remember You
Song lyrics, The Brothers McMullen soundtrack (1995)

“Adia I do believe I failed you.
Adia I know I let you down.
Don't you know I tried so hard
To love you in my way.
It's easy let it go…Adia I'm empty since you left me.
Trying to find a way to carry on.
I search myself and everyone
To see where we went wrong.”

I'll be using all my power,
So I can reach you.
Oh my love, don't give up on us.”

Sarah McLachlan Quotes about time

“I will be the answer
At the end of the line.
I will be there for you,
Why take the time?
In the burning of uncertainty,
I will be your solid ground.
I will hold the balance
If you can't look down.”

Sarah McLachlan

Answer
Song lyrics, Afterglow (2003)

“I've been down a long road;
I'd become a stranger to myself.
Digging in my heels and hoping time might be kinder if I wait it out.But nothing came from wanting.
And I became so small and insecure.
Didn't know the cost of all I'd lost till I found it fresh and new again.”

Sarah McLachlan

Loving You Is Easy
Song lyrics, Laws of Illusion (2010)

“You're always waiting on the tide,
It's time you decide.
I've walked down long roads that seem to have no end at all.
You never wanted time to end,
To let my life offend.”

Sarah McLachlan

Steaming
Song lyrics, Touch (1988)

“Listen as the wind blows from across the great divide,
Voices trapped in yearning, memories trapped in time.
The night is my companion, and solitude my guide.
Would I spend forever here and not be satisfied?And I would be the one
To hold you down,
Kiss you so hard
I'll take your breath away.
And after, I'd wipe away the tears,
Just close your eyes dear.”

Sarah McLachlan

Possession
Song lyrics, Fumbling Towards Ecstasy (1993)

“Spend all your time waiting
For that second chance,
For a break that would make it OK.
There's always some reason
To feel not good enough;
And it's hard at the end of the day.I need some distraction,
Oh, beautiful release.
Memory seeps through my veins.
Let me be empty,
Oh weightless and maybe
I'll find some peace tonight.”

Sarah McLachlan

Angel
Song lyrics, Surfacing (1997)

Sarah McLachlan Quotes

“In the arms of the angel,
Fly away from here.
From this dark cold hotel room,
And the endlessness you feel.
You are pulled from the wreckage
Of your silent reverie.
You're in the arms of the angel;
May you find some comfort here.”

Sarah McLachlan

Angel
Song lyrics, Surfacing (1997)

With apparitions of your soul.
I'm ever swiftly moving
Trying to escape this desire.”

Do What You Have to Do
Song lyrics, Surfacing (1997)

“Crouching down inside a deep ravine,
Those angry cries pass quickly by, he can't be seen.
So many ways spent hiding in so many undone plans;
Forgetting what it's like to fight when no one understands.”

Sarah McLachlan

Out of the Shadows
Song lyrics, Touch (1988)

“Hearts are worn in these dark ages;
You're not alone in this story's pages.
Night has fallen amongst the living and the dying,
And I try to hold it in, yeah I try to hold it in.”

World on Fire, written by Sarah McLachlan and Pierre Marchand
Song lyrics, Afterglow (2003)

“I knew you wanted to tell me;
In your voice there was something wrong.
But if you would turn your face away from me,
You cannot tell me you're so strong.
Just let me ask of you one small thing.
As we have shared so many tears,
With fervor our dreams we planned a whole life long
Now are scattered on the wind…”

Sarah McLachlan

The Path of Thorns

Don't let your life pass you by;
Weep not for the memories.”

Song lyrics, The Brothers McMullen soundtrack (1995)

Don't tell me I have never been there for you.
Don't tell me why
Nothing is good enough.”

Good Enough
Song lyrics, Fumbling Towards Ecstasy (1993)

“You come out at night;
That's when the energy comes.
And the dark side's light,
And the vampires roam.
You strut your rasta wear
And your suicide poem
And a cross from a faith
That died before Jesus came.
You're building a mystery.”

Sarah McLachlan

Building a Mystery, written by Sarah McLachlan and Pierre Marchand
Song lyrics, Surfacing (1997)

“I'm so tired but I can't sleep,
Standin' on the edge of something much too deep.
It's funny how we feel so much but we cannot say a word;
We are screaming inside, but we can't be heard.”

Sarah McLachlan

I Will Remember You
Song lyrics, The Brothers McMullen soundtrack (1995)

“Might have been the moonlight,
Caught up in the sparkle in your eyes.
So wicked and I know I should go slow but it's not in me to wait.Cause I'm alive and I'm on fire.
Shot like a starburst into the sky.
And the fury of desire it burns so bright electrifies
You light me up, you take me higher.”

Sarah McLachlan

Loving You Is Easy
Song lyrics, Laws of Illusion (2010)

“Open the doors that lead on in to Eden
Don't want no cheap disguise.
I follow the signs marked back to the beginning,
No more compromise.”

Into the Fire, written by Sarah McLachlan and Pierre Marchand
Song lyrics, Solace (1992)

“Heaven bent to take my hand
And lead me through the fire.
Be the long awaited answer
To a long and painful fight.Truth be told I've tried my best,
But somewhere along the way
I got caught up in all there was to offer,
And the cost was so much more than I could bear.”

Sarah McLachlan
