Favorite song quotes

[BlackStar42]

"And if I could go back and make my amends,
I'd make all those mistakes again.
I'd kill every last one of those bastards, my friend!"

and

"Your guilt I will justify
I'll make you mine
To have, to hold and embrace
A spark of mystery
The dark discovery
In your loss my greatest victory"

Cookies if you can guess the artists

 

[Kenbo Slice]

Returning Empty Handed- UnderOath


How peaceful it feels against my face
Oh, what a long haul
You brought me here for this
I see nothing but disaster
Now I'm taking you with me

A transparent scenery that comes as fast as it leaves

Now my eyes flash with the white
It's settling in with all the flickering

Here again
The floor is more fitting for my face

Here again? This is getting old

I am being watched
This is overwhelming
Paranoia...

As you dig your feet in I will sink my teeth into the floor,
While I lay here alone

As the light beings to breach the border,
while I lay here alone

Aware of every step
I'm not aware at all
Black... flash white... I am awake

And I've had recurring nightmares// that I was loved for who I am// and missed the opportunity to be a better man

-Hoodoo by Muse

 

[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

-From "Time" by Pink Floyd. Lyrically speaking, the whole song is brilliant, but that's my favourite verse. Props also go to this gem of a line:

And it's too late to lose the weight you used to need to throw around

-From "Dogs", by Pink Floyd. That line is just so mind-blowingly clever, I can't help but smirk every time I hear it.

I love Henry Rollins so from Liar:

I don't know why I feel the need to lie and cause you so much pain
maybe it's something inside, maybe it's something I can't explain
'cause all I do is mess you up and lie to you
I'm a liar, ooh, I'm a liar
but if you'll give me another chance I swear I'll never lie to you again
'cause now I see the destructive power of a lie,
they're stronger than truth
I ca't believe I ever hurt you, I swear I will never lie to you again
please, just give me more chance, I'll never lie to you again, no,
I swear, I will never tell a lie, I will neer tell a lie, no, no
Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha! Sucker! Sucker! Sucker!

Also Spaceman by Babylon Zoo

This sickening taste
Homophobic jokes
Images of facist votes
Beam me up 'cause I can't breathe

Maybe its the way Jas Mann delivers the lyrics, but I just think it sounds good.

 

[ThatLankyBastard]

Lol my favourite lyric quote is in Food Pyramid by Marilyn Manson...

"So when you eat your sweets, make sure to try
To limit your servings or you'll DIEEEEEE!!!!"

 

[SleepyOtter]

"Come mothers and fathers
Throughout the land
And don't criticize
What you can't understand
Your sons and your daughters
Are beyond your command
Your old road is
Rapidly agin'."

Bob Dylan-Times they are a changin'

 

[FolkLikePanda]

"There's Tarts and Whores, but you're much more!" - The Jam - Butterfly Collector

 

[ElTigreSantiago]

"Bombs to set the people free, blood to feed the dollar tree
Flags for coffins on the screen, oil for the machine
Army of liberation, gunpoint indoctrination
The fires of sedation
Fulfill the prophecy"

-Lamb of God

This is your life and it's ending one minute at a time

The Dust Brothers Featuring Tyler Durden. (1999) from the Fight Club soundtrack.

Spoiler

we fought your wars with all of our heart. You sent us back in body parts. You took our wills but the truth you stole. We offer prayers for your long lost soul.

A.D.D. System of a Down.

 

[OptimisticPessimist]

Pretty much all of Eric the Red. I heart Tyr.

 

[SquadronAce]

"As long as you got the curves baby I got the angles!" Clap for the Wolfman by the Guess Who. Epic quote from the Wolfman himself

 

[IBlackKiteI]

Something kind of sad about,
The way that things have come to be.
Desensitized to everything.
What became of subtlety?
And how can this mean anything to me,
If I really don't feel a thing at all?

Well, I'll keep digging,
'Til I feel something.

Tool- Stinkfist

Its funny how at first one might see the lyrics as deep and meaningful, then they see the songs name is Stinkfist and go, "Oh...wait a tic..."

I also love the line

We all feed
On tragedy
Its like blood to a vampire

From Vicarious.

And from Rage Against the Machines Testify

Who controls the past controls the future
Who controls the present controls the past

From Nineteen Eighty Four

Also I'm suprised noone has mentioned Imagine yet, that entire song is brilliant, lyrically and otherwise.

 

[DJDarque]

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

-From "Time" by Pink Floyd. Lyrically speaking, the whole song is brilliant, but that's my favourite verse.

Totally stole my song, but my favorite part would have to be this part:

"Every year is getting shorter
Never seem to find the time
Plans that either come to naught
Or half a page of scribbled lines

Hanging on in quiet desperation
Is the English way

The time is gone
The song is over
Thought I'd something more to say"

Though I have to agree with you. That entire song is absolutely brilliant.

"This is the last time I'll abandon you.
And this is the last time I'll forget you.
I wish I could"

Muse - Stockholm Syndrome

 

[Hayate_GT]

Leaving me stranded all in love on my own...
Do you think of me...?
Where am I now oh baby where do i sleep...?
Feels so good but i'm old...
2000 years of searching's taking its toll...
And it's coming closer...


Closer by Kings of Leon...

actually edited it to become one of my ringtones...love this damn song...

 

[Jazzyjazz2323]

Life without you-Stevie Ray Vaughan the entire song just makes me feel like a better person and watching the live videos where he throws in his speeches especially the ones post 1987 where he shares his experiences recovering from severe drug addiction.

 

[tombman888]

"Surprise Buttsecks!"

 

[GrimTuesday]

Just thought of another one.

I made this half-pony, half-monkey monster to please you
But I get the feeling that you don't like it
What's with all the screaming?
You like monkeys, you like ponies
Maybe you don't like monsters so much
Maybe I used too many monkeys
Isn't it enough to know that I ruined a pony making a gift for you?

Skullcrusher Mountain.
Jonathan Coulton
