Every time I try to go
Where I really want to be
It's already where I am
'Cause I'm already there!

I jumped in the river and what did I see?
black-eyed angels swimming with me
a moon full of stars and astral cars
all the figures i used to see
all my lovers were there with me
all my past and futures
and we all went to heaven in a little row boat

there was nothing to fear and nothing to doubt

I've got a few:
"And they burned up the diner where I always used to find her licking young boys' blood from her claws" - Great Expectations by The Gaslight Anthem (just love the imagery in it)

"She got down on hands and knees, one ear against the ground holding her breath to hear something, anything at all... The Dirt whispered 'child, I'm coming home'" - The Dirt Whispered by Rise Against

"And if you listen very hard, the tune will come to you at last, when all is one and one is all, to be a rock and not to roll" Every music lover should know what that is... but in case you don't, it's Stairway To Heaven by Led Zeppelin

"The Great Misconception of Me" by W.A.S.P.

LOVE these lyrics. It's the final song of their first conceptual album, "The Crimson Idol."
http://www.imeem.com/rizkallah/music/FCUuLPAx/wasp-the-great-misconceptions-of-me/

[Jonathan to the audience]
Welcome to the show the great finale's finally here
I thank you for coming into my theatre of fear
Welcome to the show, you're all witnesses you see
A privileged invitation to the last rights of me

[Jonathan to his mother]
Remember me? You can't save me
Mama you never needed me
No crimson king, look in my eye, you'll see
Mama I'm lonely, it's only me, only me

[Jonathan to all]
I don't wanna be, I don't wanna be, I don't wanna be
The crimson idol of a million
I don't wanna be, I don't wanna be, I don't wanna be
The crimson idol of a million eyes, of a million

[Jonathan to all]
I am the prisoner of the paradise I dreamed
The idol of a million lonely faces look at me
Behind the mask of sorrow, four doors of doom behind my eyes
I've got their footprints all across my crimson mind

[Jonathan to the King of Mercy]
Long live, long live, long live the king of mercy
Long live, long live

[Jonathan to all]
There is no love, to shelter me
Only love, love set me free
No love, to shelter me, only love, love set me free
I was the warrior, with an anthem in my soul
The idol of eight thousand lonely days of rage ago
And remember me when it comes your time to choose
Be careful what you wish for, it might just come true

[Jonathan to the king of Mercy]
Long live, long live, long live the king of mercy
Long live, long live

[Jonathan to All]
There is no love, to shelter me
Only love, love set me free
No love, to shelter me, only love, love set me free

[Jonathan to his father]
Red, crimson red, am I the invisible boy
The strap on my back
Red, crimson red, no I was never to be
Only one crimson son, no it never was me

[Jonathan to all]
Living in the limelight little did I know
I was dying in the shadows and the mirror was my soul
It was all I ever wanted, everything I dreamed
But the dream became my nightmare and no-one could hear me scream
With these six-strings, I make a noose
To take my life, it's time to choose
The headlines read of my suicide, of my suicide

[Jonathan to the King of Mercy]
Oh sweet silence, where is the sting
I am no idol, no crimson king
I'm the imposter, the world has seen
My father was the idol, it was never me
I don't wanna be, I don't wanna be, I don't wanna be
The crimson idol of a million
I don't wanna be, I don't wanna be, I don't wanna be
The crimson idol of a million eyes

[Jonathan to all]
No love, to shelter me, only love
Love set me free
No love, to shelter me, only love
Love set me free

Nazi Scum-By Skarpretter
"Another black man loses his life on the street
A young punk goes down by knife in the east
The worst of vermin are on the rise
A little kid is beaten down outside her home
Onlookers don't help she takes the beating alone
They look away and ignore her cries

We got an enemy to beat
We gotta beat em in the street
There's a time to fight and that time has come
We're coming for you Nazi Scum

While another easy victim is left to die
The authorities turn a blind eye
Reports are filed and nothing is done
'Cause these are the killers they themselves create
Ugly symptoms of a racist state
Like the father, so the son

We got an enemy to beat
We gotta beat em in the street
There's a time to fight and that time has come
We're coming for you Nazi Scum

And now their marching under the black flag
Stolen to replace the swastika filth rag
Their too stupid to understand
That it represents of the opposite of their ideology
Anti-fascist black flag of anarchy
It's not for their filthy hands

We got an enemy to beat
We gotta beat em in the street
There's a time to fight and that time has come
We're coming for you Nazi Scum"

That and these lyrics from Rancid-Nihilism

"I was so full of scotch
I could not stand up
I was hitting the shots and
I moved to the cup

Come into the union district
Drive down on Sharmon Palms
White ghettos paint a picture
Broken homes and broken bones"

3pm, on my feet and staggering
Through misplaced words and a sinking feeling
I got carried away
Sick, sick of sleepin' on the floor
Another night, another score
I'm jaded, bottles breakin'

You're only happy when I'm wasted
I point my finger but I just can't place it
Feels like I'm fallin' in love, when I'm fallin' to the bathroom floor
Oh, oh, oh
I remember how you tasted
I've had you so many times, lets face it
Feels like I'm falling in love alone
Stella would you take me home?

2am, I'm on a blackout binge again (Ha!)
You know I don't need sleep and I lost my keys but,
I got so many friends
And they keep, keep me comin' back for more
Another night, another score
I'm faded, bottles breakin'

You're only happy when I'm wasted
I point my finger but I just can't place it
Feels like I'm fallin' in love, when I'm fallin' to the bathroom floor
Oh, oh, oh
I remember how you tasted
I've had you so many times, lets face it
Feels like I'm fallin' in love alone
Stella would you take me home?

One more reason I should never have met you
Just another reason I could never forget you
Down we go
The rooms spinnin' out of control
Lose myself in a chemical moment
The night life's takin' its toll
That's just the way it goes
Come on, Stella would you take me home?

You're only happy when I'm wasted
I point my finger but I just can't place it
Feels like I'm fallin' in love, when I'm fallin' to the bathroom floor
Oh, oh, oh
I remember how you tasted
I've had you so many times, lets face it
Feels like I'm fallin' in love alone
Stella would you take me home?

Tommy can you hear me?
Tommy can you hear me?
Tommy can you hear me?
Tommy can you hear me?
Tommy can you hear me?
Can you hear me?

How can he be saved?

See me. Feel me.
Touch me. Heal me.

See me. Feel me.
Touch me. Heal me.

Linkin Park-New Divide
I remeber black skies, the lighting all around me
I remebered each flash as time began to blur
Like a startling sign that fate had finally found me
and your voice was all i heard, that i'd get what i deserve

(chorus)

there was nothing in sight but memories left abandoned
there was nowwhere to hide, the ashes fell like snow
the ground caved in between where we were standing
and your voice was all i heard, that i'd get what i deserved

(chorus)

i every loss, in every lie, in every truth that you'd deny
to each regret and each goodbye was a mistake to great to hide
that your voice was all i heard, that i'd get what i deserved

yeah the chorus is good but the verse's are much better. for someone whos loved lost and fought. it's really meaningfull for me at least.

That's tough. There's a ton of stuff by Metallica I really love though. Very deep and definitely well-written. James Heftield is an awesome writer.

"Vala he is that's what you said
Then your oath's been sworn in vain
(But) freely you came and
You freely shall depart
(So) never trust the northern winds
Never turn your back on friends"

"Oh I'm heir of the high lord!"
"You better don't trust him"
The enemy of mine
Isn't he of your kind and
Finally you may follow me
Farewell
He said

Really any lyrics from Of Montreal.

Their songs are usually about really dark themes like necrophilia, rape, and suicide but the music is very popish.

My favorite line is from In The Aeroplane Over The Sea by Neutral Milk Hotel:
And one day we will die
And our ashes will fly
From the aeroplane over the sea.
But for now we are young
Let us lay in the sun
And count every beautiful thing we can see.


My favorite intro is from Chump Change by The New Pornographers (The singer is a man)
I stole a page from your book
And a line from your page
And flew into a lesbian rage.

Punk ain't no religious cult
Punk means thinking for yourself
You ain't hardcore 'cause you spike your hair
When a jock still lives inside your head
