Do song lyrics ever really touch you? Which ones, and why?

I'm currently listening to "The Flag" by The Barenaked Ladies, and I'm just so touched by the lyrics, by the woman in the song. She's basically being abused, and she knows it, and she's trying to get out, and finally, she does get the strength to do what she knows what is right.

Songs by Natalie Imbruglia touch me. Her lyrics make me feel that if I'm strong I can overcome anything.

"Silent Lucidity" by Queensryche. Simply brilliant.
"18 and Life" by Skid Row. Life the hard way.
"Your Ghost" by Kristen Hersh. Deep.
"The Harbor" by All ABout Eve. Emotional.
