Best Line in a song?

[FinalHeart95]

"Here's the pitch, slow and straight, all I have to do is swing and I'm a hero. But I'm a zero."

Generally not the biggest Weezer fan, but that is great song, topped with a great line containing a great metaphor.

 

[imaloony]

Mine is from "The Undead West". I don't know who does it, but it's a song in WET (Which I haven't played and don't ever plan on playing)

The line is:
"Zombie Killings in the Wild, Wild West."

'Nuff said.

 

[The Spectator]

From Misery Index's intro 'We Never Come In Peace' where they start off the album with:

In the true eyes of God, we can never be forgiven!

Definitely looking forward to Heirs To Thievery.

"by our blindness and stupidity we kill everything"


VNV Nation - Carbon

a million points of light ascending to the sky
monuments in darkness
standing watch until the sun will rise
screaming to an emptiness
of how we deified ourselves
with our hands over our eyes
claiming all of creation

what inspires in us this madness
that out existence should be defined
by a light that can't be seen by anyone
what inspires in us this madness
that out existence should be defined
by a light that we can't see
by a light that can't be seen

a million points of light ascending to the sky
monuments in darkness
standing watch until the sun will rise
I can't, I can't see this all as progress
how did we come this far?
when we see ourselves as deities
claim nature for ourselves
by our actions we betray the instincts in our race
by our blindness and stupidity we kill everything
we kill everything

can someone see our self destruction?
are we reminding ourselves that our existence is so delicate
that without this light we are no more
that without this light we've made we are no more

a million points of light
ascending to the sky
monuments in darkness
standing watch
until the sun will rise
we torch the earth until it bleeds
rain ashes from the sky
just to make a light that no one can see
we cut the earth until it bleeds
rain ashes from the sky
just to make a light that no one can see
just to make a light
just to make a light
we kill everything
by our blindness and stupidity
we kill everything

and in a thousand years what will be our legacy
a million lights that no one can see?

a million points of light

 

[Feste the Jester]

There ain't no rest for the wicked
Money don't grow on trees
I got bills to pay, I got mouths to feed
There ain't nothing in this world for free

(Ain't No Rest for the Wicked by Cage the Elephant

or

They were crying when their sons left
God is wearing black
He's gone so far to find no hope
He's never coming back

(Soldier Side by System of a Down)

 

[Feste the Jester]

"Dream on"
Dream On - Aerosmith

I can't believe I didn't think of this, I love that song.

 

[SonicKoala]

Tired of laying in the sunshine
Staying home to watch the rain
you are young, and life is long
and there is time to kill today
and then one day you find
ten years have got behind you
no one told you when to run
you missed the starting gun

- verse from Time, by Pink Floyd

However, if I had to pick just a single line, I'd have to go with a line from Two-Headed Boy Pt.2 by Neutral Milk Hotel:

God is a place you will wait for the rest of your life

 

[Dark Knifer]

My favourites off the top of my head:
"Don't you see their bodies burning, desolete and full of yearning, dying of anticipation, choking from intoxication"-Empty walls by Serj Tankian.
"The Kombucha mushroom people, sitting around all day. Who can believe you? Who can believe you? Let your mother pray". Sugar by System of a Down and "I-E-A-I-A-I-O" From the song
I-E-A-I-A-I-O also by System. There are more I could add but this is sufficient for me.

 

[Ponch]

"So say what you will do what you feel you must
Your words just fuel my rage and fill my heart with disgust
I know what really matters I know who will be there
The rest of you could wither away and not a piece of me would care"
Dead to Fall - Smoke and Mirrors

"The warmest of blankets is six feet of soil"
Protest the Hero - She Who Mars the Skin of Gods

 

[bluebrino]

I'm not like them but I can pretend.
Dumb by Nirvana

That song pretty much expressed my feelings for people at the time...I was quite the angsty

 

[IBlackKiteI]

Emptiness is loneliness, and loneliness is cleanliness
And cleanliness is godliness, and god is empty just like me...

Zero - Smashing Pumpkins

 

[wordsmith]

My foot's always in my mouth
I just can't stomach defeat (de-feet)
Hilltop Hoods- Clown Prince

It's doubtful I'll bite of more than I can chew
because I've already got a mouthful

[Kiriona]

"Plaaaaaay the best soooooong in the world. Or I'll eat your soul."

 

[Queen Michael]

"And we played the first thing that came to our minds and it just so happened to be: The best song in the world! It was the best song in the world!"

 

[twaddle]

there is this song that says the lyrics "fuck off, fuck off, fuck off" i can't remeber the name of it but i will always remeber those lyrics
