Best Line in a song?

[WalkNasty]

you can run on for a long time, but sooner or later god will cut you down

 

[Red Right Hand]

She keeps it pumpin straight to my heart,
she keeps it pumpin straight to my heart,
she keeps it pumpin straight to my heart,
she keeps it pumpin straight to my heart,
she keeps it pumpin straight to my heart,
she keeps it pumpin straight to my heart,
she keeps it pumpin straight to my heart,
she keeps it pumpin straight to my heart.

Ahhhhhh, nirvana, how great you are.

EDIT: Also the entirety of Wizard in Black by Electric Wizard.

sample: you're all the same the lot of ya
with your long hair and ****** clothes
drugs, sex, every sort of filth
and you hate the police, don't ya
you make it easy...

a tower stands on the edge of time
upon it stands the astral mind
the burning chaosphere seethes behind
ours to see but we are blind

the eyes of god look upon what he's done
the eyes of man look on and beyond
i am a god, i am the one
into the chaos see my time has begun

the wizard in black reveals the sign
the chosen are ready, destiny realigned
eye of ultra soul together we join
alone again, once again into the void

cosmic eye the heart of the sun
freedom rays awaken the chosen ones

Spoiler: ALL HAIL THE WIZARD!!!

 

[Blazenwizard]

"Im tired of screwin up, tired of goin down,
tired of myself, tired of this town,

last dance with Mary Jane by Tom Petty.
AWESOME SONG!!

Don?t wait for me, you?ve got a lot, to do you?ve got a lot, to be,
And in the end maybe, I?ll see you there.

She was diagnosed on a Friday,
The kids were almost home,
The kids were on their way back home from school,
Lying face down in the gutter,
Of unaccomplished dreams,
And broken memories of things to come.
"Sorry ma'am, I really am. I had to break the news.
I had to make the phone call to tell you that you're due,
You know where, I'll tell you when,
And I suggest you start living these next three weeks,
The best way that you can."

Every night for three long weeks,
She?d roam the hallways half asleep,
And as the footsteps fade away,
In my mind, I could swear, I could swear, I heard her say:
Don't wait for me, you?ve got a lot to do, you?ve got a lot to be,
And in the end maybe, I'll see you there.

Lost her strength on a Saturday,
Spent the day in bed.
Yeah, I'm fine; it's just the flu she said, with a smile,
But when they turned their backs,
The tears would flow.
She knew she only had a while, to live,
To breathe, to be, to see, to bleed,
To stand on her own two weakened feet,
"And so I pray everyday: don't take my mother away"

Every night for three long weeks,
She?d roam the hallways half asleep,
And as the footsteps fade away,
In my mind, I could swear, I could swear, I heard her say:
Don't wait for me, you?ve got a lot to do, you?ve got a lot to be,
And in the end maybe, I'll see you there.

Every night for three long weeks,
She?d roam the hallways half asleep,
And as the footsteps fade away,
In my mind, I could swear, I could swear, I heard her say:
Don't wait for me, you?ve got a lot to do, you?ve got a lot to be,
And in the end maybe, I'll see you there.
And in the end you know ill see you,
There and in the end I?ll see you there.

Don?t wait for me, you?ve got a lot, to do you?ve got a lot, to be,
And in the end maybe, I?ll see you there.

Really, really depressing.

Crazy, crazy good song, crazy, crazy good band.

What is your favorite line in a song? Any song, from R&B to that Dubstep... thing.

Mine is in Steel Panther - Community Property.

Spoiler: The First line

I would give you the starts in the sky, but they're too far away!

Calumon: All of my song! ^^

Spoiler: Yay!

Mmmmmmmm, isn't my imagination, or Calumon's song in English sounds kinda weak and out of translation in comparison to the Japanese and Spanish versions?

OT: I love the whole lyrics of the Marilyn Manson "Eat Me Drink Me" album, particularly form the song Sweet Dreams (are made of these):
"Sweet dreams are made of this
Who am I to disagree?
Travel the world
And the seven seas--
Everybody's looking for something.
Some of them want to use you
Some of them want to get used by you
Some of them want to abuse you
Some of them want to be abused.

(Hold your head up--Keep your head up--MOVIN' ON)
"
Also:
"I'm Fat! I'm Fat! I'm really, really fat!" And the rest of the song of "I'm Fat" by Weird Al,
The whole Portal Song, Welcome Home (sanitarium) by Metallica:
"Welcome to where time stands still
no one leaves and no one will
Moon is full, never seems to change
just labeled mentally deranged
Dream the same thing every night
I see our freedom in my sight
No locked doors, No windows barred
No things to make my brain seem scarred"
One more Soul to the Call by Akira Yamaoka (SIlent Hill: Homecoming)
"(...)Death... to the living...
The flame has no living heart

In the order, of life, they know you there...
As you saw it, your plan, a real shot in the dark...

Came a little, too late, it's over...

Calling, the children...
Conception...
And dying...
Silent, but screaming!

Damage done to the flesh, what they said...
In the name of the...
Damage done to the heart, is the start, of the end!
Damage done to my soul, and you know, it knows where my...
Damage done to my life, may seem loud, as the chaos!"

There are of course many other parts of songs, however, I must say one needs to listen to the songs to understand them. Also sorry by adding a huge part of the lyrics, I actually love the whole lines that I added. i think I should have added a youtube video, but, I don't know.

 

[child of lileth]

I'd have to go with the chorus to Eatne by Bloodbath. Just because I can't take the song seriously, and I never was sure if it was meant to sound as hilarious as it does to me. I love their music and all, but that one song is just so funny to me. Spoiler to save tons of space. lol

Spoiler

Carve me up, slice me apart
Suck my guts and lick my heart
Chop me up, I like to be hurt
Drink my marrow and blood for dessert
EATEN...
My one desire, my only wish is to be-
EATEN...
The longer I live the more I'm dying to feel the pain
EATEN...
I would do anything to be-
EATEN...
My one desire, my only wish is to be-
EATEN...

 

[Ham_authority95]

Well, I stand up next to a mountain
And I chop it down with the edge of my hand

-voodoo child

YES

that or:

"What can this strange device be?
When I touch it, it gives forth a sound
It's got wires that vibrate and give music
What can this thing be that I found?

See how it sings like a sad heart
And joyously screams out it's pain
Sounds that build high like a mountain
Or notes that fall gently like rain"

Don't worry if its hard. If you're not a friggin tard you will prevail.

[IzisviAziria]

I know some day you'll have a beautiful life/I know you'll be a sun/In somebody elses sky/ but why, why, why/can't it be, can't it be me

Black, by Pearl Jam. That song hits me hard, I relate to it so much (although probably not in the traditional way one might relate to that song).

and you can't fight the tears that ain't comin'/or the moment of truth in your lie/when everything feels like the movies/ya you bleed just to know you're alive

Iris, by Goo Goo Dolls. Beautiful song, the whole thing just moves me, but that's my favorite line.

 

[Fxh_legato]

On the cross, you watched him die

Redeemer! Let me hear you cry
We have killed, no one left to deify
On the cross you watched him die
The winged ones ride

The time to sin is ours
The Nazarene will now go down
The martyr, retribution
Your Messiah's execution!

I've never heard that song, but I read the lyrics and it sounds beautiful. I'm going to go listen to it.

Edit: wow, listened to it... not at all what I expected. Makes me look at the lyrics differently though, I like the emphasis on the positive within the song, the uplifting beat despite the severity of the subject at hand.

 

[DividedUnity]

Sweet Lady liberty, you are the lost though you are free
What lies beneath, can't tell the wolves from the sheep

I fricking love that lyric.

Sting's "I Hung My Head" lyrics are pretty good, and the story they tell is very nice to listen to.

Here lies desire
As the wind blows the sky wide open.
She runs through fire,
and fucked the devil on her way to heaven.
