Favourite Lyrics?

[ClaptonKnophlerHendrix]

Basically, what are your favorite lyrics? For whatever reason, whether they're just funny, inspiring or have some special meaning for you.
Mine, for the comedy factor, is a Marianas Trench song Shake Tramp.
The lyrics are:
Try a little more, little more, little more,
They slap you like a ***** and you take it like a whore,
Upside down and around and around
Just another piece till you need another sound
And from a meaningful point of view, from a band not really known for great lyrics
Fate fell short this time
Smile fades in the summer
Place your hand in mine
I'll leave when I wanna
Blink 182 - Feeling This

[i/]Your God Is Dead
And No one cares
if there is a hell
I'll see you there![/i]

Killing you with kindness is my game
So I might live to see your sorrow

Leading you with blindness to your grave
With no more bitterness to borrow

I've died a thousand times
The battles rage on in my mind
Always an eagerness for more

With shields and flashing blades
I contemplate my inner struggle
A sound philosophy for war

Leading you to endless misery
Forever battling your sorrow

Only in my violence am I free
And I might live to see tomorrow

"I'd show a smile but I'm too weak. I'd share with you, could I only speak, just how much this hurts me."
From This Time Imperfect by AFI. I have no idea why I even like these lyrics so much but I do. I just absolutely love them and the way they're said. xD

Spoiler: Origa - Rise

I'm a soldier, znachit ya
I otvyetchik i sud'ya
Ya stoyu na dvukh kontsakh ognya
Ogibaya virazhi, obgonyaya smyert' i zhizn'
Ya byegu srazit'sya s tyen'yu lzhi

skol'ko b nityey nye plyol obman
pokazhyet lik svyeta istina

Save your tears
for the day
when our pain is far behind
on your feet
come with me
we are soldiers stand or die

Save your fears
take your place
save them for the judgement day
fast and free
follow me
time to make the sacrifice
we rise or fall

I'm a soldier, born to stand
in this waking hell I am
witnessing more than I can compute

pray myself we don't forget
lies, betrayed and the oppressed
please give me the strength to be the truth

people facing the fire together
if we don't, we'll lose all we have found

*repeat

Za myechtoyu nakray propasti
Lish' tol'ko tak mozhno mir spasti

Ty nye plach',
Slyozy spryach',
Ved' nastanyet novyy den'
Tvoy ogon'
Sogryevat'
Budyet tysyachi syerdets
A syeychas podnimis'
Spryach' podal'shye bol' i strakh
Pobyedit tot, kto prav
Znay, chto vsyo v tvoikh rukakh

My victory song:
[spoiler/]I've got a will this time I don't care what you say
I've got a feeling this will all go away
It's in the wind this time it's in the southern sky
I can't walk on water yet won't even try

[Chorus]
So drown me slowly
Enclose me
Drown me slowly alright
Drown me slowly
Enfold me
Drown me slowly

All that I took with me was a bad taste in my mouth
Went all around the world just couldn't spit it out
Just like ground zero was the surface of the sun
That's a sickness I can't fix it not all at once

[Chorus]
So drown me slowly
Enclose me
Drown me slowly alright
Drown me slowly
Enfold me
Drown me slowly

Don't let them take you down
You'll leave a better world than you found
Don't let them take you down
You'll leave a better world than you found
Don't let them take you down
Don't let them take you down
Don't let them take you down
Don't let them take you down

[Chorus]
So drown me slowly
Enclose me
Drown me slowly alright
Drown me slowly
Enfold me
Drown me slowly

Drown me slowly
Drown me slowly
Drown me slowly

Papa Roach - Not Listening
Cause I've lost my innocence
And I'm a stranger, a life changer
I'm a man that's not afraid of danger
I walk my own path and blaze my own trail
Because I'm not afraid to derail

I won't get in line or be your middleman
So fuck you, I make my own plans
And I got respect, and I don't neglect
The people that I really care to protect

 

[Insanum]

Picture yourself in a boat on a river,
With tangerine trees and marmalade skies.
Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly,
A girl with kaleidoscope eyes.

Cellophane flowers of yellow and green,
Towering over your head.
Look for the girl with the sun in her eyes,
And she's gone.

Lucy in the sky with diamonds,
Lucy in the sky with diamonds,
Lucy in the sky with diamonds,
Ah... Ah...

Follow her down to a bridge by a fountain,
Where rocking horse people eat marshmallow pies.
Everyone smiles as you drift past the flowers,
That grow so incredibly high.

Newspaper taxis appear on the shore,
Waiting to take you away.
Climb in the back with your head in the clouds,
And you're gone.

Lucy in the sky with diamonds,
Lucy in the sky with diamonds,
Lucy in the sky with diamonds,
Ah... Ah...

Picture yourself on a train in a station,
With plasticine porters with looking glass ties.
Suddenly someone is there at the turnstile,
The girl with kaleidoscope eyes.

Radiohead- Talk Show Host

I want to...
I want to be someone else or I'll explode
Floating upon the surface for the birds
The birds, the birds.

Pretty much anything from Radiohead is great.

 

[Asymptote Angel]

I'm so happy, 'cause today
I've found my friends, they're in my head
I'm so ugly, but that's okay
'Cause so are you, we broke our mirrors
Sunday morning is every day
For all I care, and I'm not scared
Light my candles in a daze
'Cause I've found God

I'm so lonely, but that's okay
I shaved my head, and I'm not sad
And just maybe I'm to blame
For all I've heard, but I'm not sure
I'm so excited, I can't wait
To meet you there, and I don't care
I'm so horny, but that's okay
My will is good

I like it, I'm not gonna crack
I miss you, I'm not gonna crack
I love you, I'm not gonna crack
I killed you, I'm not gonna crack
I like it, I'm not gonna crack
I miss you, I'm not gonna crack
I love you, I'm not gonna crack
I killed you, I'm not gonna crack

I'm so happy 'cause today
I've found my friends, they're in my head
I'm so ugly, that's okay
'Cause so are you, we broke our mirrors
Sunday morning is every day
For all I care, and I'm not scared
Light my candles in a daze
'Cause I've found God

I like it, I'm not gonna crack
I miss you, I'm not gonna crack
I love you, I'm not gonna crack
I killed you, I'm not gonna crack
I like it, I'm not gonna crack
I miss you, I'm not gonna crack
I love you, I'm not gonna crack
I killed you, I'm not gonna crack

Poetry. There are so many layers of meaning in this song that it's hard to even get the whole thing while you're listening to it.


Her green plastic watering can
For her fake Chinese rubber plant
In the fake plastic earth
That she bought from a rubber man
In a town full of rubber plans
To get rid of itself
And it wears her out
It wears her out
It wears her out
It wears her out

She lives with a broken man
A cracked polystyrene man
Who just crumbles and burns
He used to do surgery for girls in the eighties
But gravity always wins
And it wears him out
It wears him out
It wears him out
It wears

She looks like the real thing
She tastes like the real thing
My fake plastic love

And I can't help but feeling
I could blow through the ceiling
If I just turn and run
And it wears me out
It wears me out
It wears me out
It wears me out

And if I could be who you wanted
And if I could be who you wanted
All the time
This might be the single most depressing song I've ever heard. Damn, there is no corner of the realm of misery and hopelessness that Thom Yorke can't reach. But it's still absolutely brilliant. His voice is killer on this track, too.


Ah, look at all the lonely people
Ah, look at all the lonely people

Eleanor Rigby picks up the rice in the church where a wedding has been
Lives in a dream
Waits at the window, wearing the face that she keeps in a jar by the door
Who is it for?

All the lonely people
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong?

Father McKenzie, writing the words of a sermon that no one will hear
No one comes near.
Look at him working, darning his socks in the night when there's nobody there
What does he care?

All the lonely people
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong?

Ah, look at all the lonely people
Ah, look at all the lonely people

Eleanor Rigby died in the church and was buried along with her name
Nobody came
Father McKenzie, wiping the dirt from his hands as he walks from the grave
No one was saved

All the lonely people
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong?
Simply devastating. How bleak. It's amazing that the guy who wrote stuff like "She Loves You" and "Helter Skelter" could come up with something like that. On top of those string parts, this is almost too much.

Yeah, I'm into sad stuff. Don't judge me. It's rare that you find deep or meaningful poetry that celebrates things.

Blue jean baby, L.A. lady, seamstress for the band
Pretty eyed, pirate smile, you'll marry a music man
Ballerina, you must have seen her dancing in the sand
And now she's in me, always with me, tiny dancer in my hand

Jesus freaks out in the street
Handing tickets out for God
Turning back she just laughs
The boulevard is not that bad

Piano man he makes his stand
In the auditorium
Looking on she sings the songs
The words she knows the tune she hums

But oh how it feels so real
Lying here with no one near
Only you and you can hear me
When I say softly slowly

Hold me closer tiny dancer
Count the headlights on the highway
Lay me down in sheets of linen
you had a busy day today

Blue jean baby, L.A. lady, seamstress for the band
Pretty eyed, pirate smile, you'll marry a music man
Ballerina, you must have seen her dancing in the sand
And now she's in me, always with me, tiny dancer in my hand

Black Blade by Blue Oyster Cult

Elric:
I have this feeling that my luck is none too good
This sword here at my side don't act the way it should
Keeps calling me its master, but I feel like its slave
Hauling me faster and faster to an early, early grave
And it howls, it howls like hell

I'm told it's my duty to fight against the law
That wizardry's my trade and I was born to wade through gore
I just want to be a lover, not a red-eyed screaming ghoul
I wish it'd picked another to be its killing tool

Black blade! Black blade!
Forged a billion years ago
Black blade! Black blade!
Killing so its power can grow

There's death from the beginning to the end of time
And I'm the cosmic champion and I hold a mystic sign
And the whole world's dying and the burdens mine
And the black sword keeps on killing 'til the end of time

Black blade! Black blade!
Bringing chaos to the world we know
Black blade! Black blade!
And its using me to kill my friends
Black blade! Black blade!
Getting stronger so the world will end
Black blade! Black blade!
Forcing my mind to bend and bend
Stormbringer:
I am the black blade
Forged a million billion years ago
My cosmic soul goes on for eternity
Carving out destiny
Bringing in the lords of chaos
Bringing up the beasts of Hades
Sucking out the souls of heroes
Laying waste to knights and ladies
My master is my slave
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!
You Poor Fucking Humans!

Here comes the sun, here comes the sun,
and I say it's all right

Little darling, it's been a long cold lonely winter
Little darling, it feels like years since it's been here
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun
and I say it's all right

Little darling, the smiles returning to the faces
Little darling, it seems like years since it's been here
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun
and I say it's all right

Sun, sun, sun, here it comes...
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes...
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes...
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes...
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes...

Little darling, I feel that ice is slowly melting
Little darling, it seems like years since it's been clear
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun,
and I say it's all right
It's all right

Now I feel all warm and fuzzy inside. =)

"Something About Us"

It might not be the right time
I might not be the right one
But there's something about us I want to say
Cause there's something between us anyway

I might not be the right one
It might not be the right time
But there's something about us I've got to do
Some kind of secret I will share with you

I need you more than anything in my life
I want you more than anything in my life
I'll miss you more than anyone in my life
I love you more than anyone in my life

no song ever has said so much about love with so few words

1) The Project Hate MCMXCIX - Bloodstained [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Ljd5oApaoM]

Spoiler: Bloodstained (snippet)

You rejected all My feelings? ended up numb in solitude
You have the strength to move on? to the flocking of the fools
I speak the word of sadness? I inhale the words of joy
I reject Your distant longing? for the love You lost long ago
I bring the dreams of sanity? I bear the search for fear
Through the instant walls of grey? I?m the mute who speaks another day
In solitude I stand? The universal man
A work of art in a perfect land

Within your hearts of vanity? I sing the song of fear
Where the insane fears to dwell? I?m the one exploring another hell
Within my dreams of sanity? I bear the search for fear
Within the walls of grey? I?m the dead who walks another day
You speak the words of madness? I inhale the words of joy
I reject Your distant longing? for the love We killed long ago
In solitude I stand? The universal man
A work of art with bloodstained hands

2) Guns 'N' Roses - Coma [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_CnSTSixzcg]

Spoiler: Coma

Hey you caught me in a coma
And I don't think I wanna
Ever come back to this...world again
Kinda like it in a coma
'Cause no one's ever gonna
Oh, make me come back to this...world again
Now I feel as if I'm floating away
I can't feel all the pressure
And I like it this way
But my body's callin'
My body's callin'
Won't ya come back to this...world again
Suspended deep in a sea of black
I've got the light at the end
I've got the bones on the mast
Well I've gone sailin', I've gone sailin'
I could leave so easily
While friends are calling back to me
I said they're
They're leaving it all up to me
When all I needed was clarity
And someone to tell me
What the fuck is going on
Goddamn it!


Slippin' farther an farther away
It's a miracle how long we can stay
In a world our minds created
In a world that's full of shit


Help me
Help me
Help me
Help me
Bastard


Please understand me
I'm climbin' through the wreckage
Of all my twisted dreams
But this cheap investigation just can't
stifle all my screams
And I'm waitin' at the crossroads
Waiting for you
Waiting for you
Where are you


No one's gonna bother me anymore
No one's gonna mess with my head no more
I can't understand what all the fightin's for
But it's so nice here down off the shore
I wish you could see this
'Cause there's nothing to see
It's peaceful here and it's fine with me
Not like the world where I used to live
I never really wanted to live


Zap him again
Zap the son of a ***** again


Ya live your life like it's a coma
So won't you tell me why we'd wanna
With all the reasons you give it's
It's kinda hard to believe
But who am I to tell you that I've seen
any reason why you should stay
Maybe we'd be better off without you anyway


You got a one way ticket
On your last chance ride
Gotta one way ticket
To your suicide
Gotta one way ticket
An there's no way out alive
An all this crass communication
That has left you in the cold
Isn't much for consolation
When you feel so weak and old
But is home is where the heart is
Then there's stories to be told
No you don't need a doctor
No one else can heal your soul


Got your mind in submission
Got your life on the line
But nobody pulled the trigger
They just stepped aside
They be down by the water
While you watch 'em waving goodbye
They be callin' in the morning
They be hangin' on the phone
They be waiting for an answer
When you know nobody's home
And when the bell's stopped ringing
It was nobody's fault but your own
There were always ample warnings
There were always subtle signs
And you would have seen it comin'
But we gave you too much time
And when you said that no one's listening
Why'd your best friend drop a dime
Sometimes we get so tired of waiting
For a way to spend our time
An "It's so easy" to be social
"It's so easy" to be cool
Yeah it's easy to be hungry
When you ain't got shit to lose
And I wish that I could help you
With what you hope to find
But I'm still out here waiting
Watching reruns of my life
When you reach the point of breaking
Know it's gonna take some time
To heal the broken memories
That another man would need
Just to survive

3) Opeth - Demon Of The Fall [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yrBrH5PZtcc]

Spoiler: Demon of the Fall

Silent dance with death.
Everything is lost.
Torn by the arrival of Autumn.
The blink of an eye, you know it's me.
You keep the dagger close at hand.

And you saw nothing.
False love turned to pure hate.
The wind cried a lamentation
before merging with the grey.

Demon of the fall.

Gasping for another breath.
She rose, screaming at closed doors.
Seductive faint mist forging
through the cracks in the wall.

I shant resist.
In tears for all of eternity.
She turned around and faced me for the first time.

Run away, run away.
Just one second, and I was left with nothing.
Her fragrance still pulsating through damp air.
That day came to an end.

And she had lost in me, her CREDENCE.

4) Type-O-Negative - Red Water (Christmas Mourning) [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W9kKA698_WE]

Spoiler: Red Water (Christmas Mourning

Wake up, it's Christmas mourn,
Those loved have long since gone.

The stockings are hung but who cares?
Preserved for those no longer there.

Six feet beneath me sleep.

Black lights hang from the tree,
Accents of dead holly.

Whoa mistletoe
(It's growing cold)
I'm seeing ghosts,
(I'm drinking old)
Red water
Red water
(Red water)
Red water chase them away.

My table's been set for but seven,
Just last year I dined with eleven.

Goddamn ye
Merry gentlemen

Whoa mistletoe
(It's growing cold)
I'm seeing ghosts
(I'm drinking old)
Red water
Red water
(Red water)
Red water chase them away.

(Chase them away)
(Don't chase them away)
