Best Line in a song?

[shadowyoasis]

"Come away with Innocence and leave me with my sins
The air around me still feels like a cage
Love is just a camouflage for
What resembles rage again."

Slipknot- Snuff
Slipknot is capable of some pretty beautiful lyrics sometimes.

"Metal Prison Bars block our mind
Youth's truth sold and televised
I never bought it and I won't play your game...for fame
Are we just rats in a piper's tune soothed
Scraping for cheese in a maze made to loose
No I'm not and I won't eat your food, subdued"

Future Leader of the World - Let me Out

and ofcourse probably my #1 most played song on my playlist even though I haven't heard it in years(I listened to it that much) Ugly from the Exies

"Look closer! Are you like me? Are you UGLY!?!"

I would say Lennon and Imagine but someone already said it.

I'd have to go with either of these two:

For being very funny:
"Peaches come from a can, they were put there by man in factory downtown" -Peaches, by The Presidents Of The United States (of America?). I think it's been over a decade since I heard that song but that line just stuck.

For having been there:
"What have I become, my sweetest friend, everyone I know goes away, in the end, and you could have it all, my empire of dirt, I will let down, I will make you hurt" -Hurt, by Johnny Cash (originally Nine Inch Nails but the Cash version is much better)

Alternately, for being very viking indeed:
"Why I take refuge here, my father was outlawed from the old land in east, a story of bloodshed and I too was outlawed now, I take refuge here" -Eric The Red, by Tyr

 

[SmartIdiot]

When I died I walked into the light, but what I saw I didn't like.
Well I went to heaven but I didn't go in.
They don't condemn the sinners they condemn the sin.
Heaven is full of fucking scum,
if they live like pigs they will die like one.
There will never be enough forgiveness.
St Peter I must confess, I'm more of a devil than my life suggests,
Tell god its appreciated but I was born in hell, hell is where we made it.
And if god is a great forgiver, then all the scum will be there with me.
They bury the men but not the sin, they just say a prayer.
And take them with them, Heaven is full of fucking scum,
if they live like pigs they will die like one.
There will never be enough forgiveness.
St Peter I must confess, I'm more of a devil than my life suggests,
Tell god its appreciated but I was born in hell, hell is where we made it.
St Peter I must confess, I'm more of a devil than my life suggests,
Tell god its appreciated but I was born in hell, hell is where we made it.

The Great Forgiver by Gallows.

If only it had been written 6 years earlier I would've gotten over my violently-opposed-to-religion phase much quicker.

It is here, I'll make my final stand.

[brunothepig]

One I've always loved is from The Unforgiven III by Metallica.
"How can I be lost, when I've got nowhere to go?"
Amazing song, so powerful.
EDIT: Thought of another one, kinda. The entire chorus from Throes Of Perdition by Trivium.
"Life feels like hell should,
This hell's so cold,
Pull another knife out,
Stick it with the rest of them,
When my back is full,
Turn me round to face it."

Blood on the streets

Psychostick - Beer

When it's warm it tastes real crappy
Cause cold beer will make me happy
When I throwup on the floor
I can go and drink some more

They say beer will make me dumb
It are go good with pizza
Now that we have drunk some beer
Let's go drive a car

dude...

Mainly this bit though
"Look Him in the eye, look Him in the eye, and tell Him:
"I never lived a lie, never took a life, but surely saved one."

 

[Caligulove]

Well it's just a jump to the left...

And a step to the riiiiiiiighiiiight!


My input would have to be:
"Upon arriving to the melting pot, I get penciled in as a Goddamn White,
now that I am categorized, officer gets me naturalized!"
-Immigrant Punk - Gogol Bordello

or
"And I'll buy you a drink, and I'll tell you what I think
and we will get the bottom of the bottle of all things
And I'll buy you a drink, and I'll tell you what I think
and then tomorrow in the Morning, I won't be sorry that I didn't sleep!"
-Won't Be Sorry - Eugene Hütz

You like Gogol Bordello!!!! YEEEEESSS!!!! Finally I find someone who likes them, let alone know them! I've got a ticket to see them for the third time in May

OT: From Eminem's The Real Slim Shady:

'Will Smith don't gotta cuss in his raps to sell his records;
well I do, so fuck him and fuck you too!'

B-E-A-UTIFUL!

The first line in Eminem's Insane. "I was born with a dick in my brain, yeah fucked in the head"
