Great Lines from Songs

[lex.nero]

Dear Mother
Dear Father
You've clipped my wings before I learned to fly
Unspoiled
Unspoken
I've outgrown that fucking lullaby
Same thing I've always heard from you
Do as I say not as I do

Metallica - Dyer's Eve

That entire song is lyrical gold but this is probably my favorite verse, really progressive, makes me want to punch a hole through the wall sometimes.

 

[MBurner 93]

Life for you's been less than kind
So take a number stand in line
We've all been sorry
We've all been hurt
But how we survive
Is what makes us who we are
It's what makes us who we are.

Rise Against - Survive.

That is the exact quote I thought of the second I saw this thread. Damn, thats a good song.

 

[SnootyEnglishman]

The Marsh Lagoon by Twiztid.

"The marsh lagoon
so many want to dump there dead here

Only the waters
only the waters know what story they bear"

 

[Legendary Alucard]

AC/DC - Hells Bells

I'll give you black sensations up and down your spine
If you're into evil you're a friend of mine
See my white light flashing as I split the night
'Cause if Good's on the left,
Then I'm stickin' to the right

I won't take no prisoners, won't spare no lives
Nobody's puttin' up a fight
I got my bell, I'm gonna take you to hell
I'm gonna get ya, Satan get you

For Those About To Rock, We Salut you! (-_-)__,/,,/

 

[FeralDynasty]

Lost within my own mind

Dragonforce-Through the Fire and the Flames

open up your eyes
and look up to the skies
spread your wings and fly away
just for a while
forget about your sorrow
there'll always be tomorrow
let the wind take you far away

Iron Savior- Riding Free

 

[Dr Lecter]

Dead Kennedys - Holiday in Cambodia

So you've been to school for a year or two,
and you know you've seen it all.

I am reminded how true that line is on a daily basis.

 

[procyonlotor]

Gasp. This thread has no Bowie, Pink Floyd or Queen. That should be rectified.

I'm just going to post this though.

 

[FeralDynasty]

Lost within my own mind

Dragonforce-Through the Fire and the Flames

open up your eyes
and look up to the skies
spread your wings and fly away
just for a while
forget about your sorrow
there'll always be tomorrow
let the wind take you far away

Iron Savior- Riding Free

i forgot some more

Hey kid, do i have your attention?
I know the way I've been living
life so reckless, tragedy endless
Welcome to the family
Hey, there's something missing
only time will alter your vision
Never in question, lethal injection
Welcome to the family

Welcome to the family-Avenged Sevenfold (LONG LIVE THE REV)

You should have known
the price of evil
and it hurts to know
that you belong here, yeah
it's your fucking nightmare!!!

Nightmare-Avenged Sevenfold

 

[daubie]

Sweeney todd.

There's a hole in the world like a great black PIT!
and it's filled with people who are filled with SHIT!
and the vermin of the world inhabit IT.

This is at the start of epiphany. I love that song.

They unfortunately cut or changed some of the best music when they made it for the movie.

As for the topic at hand.
"I'm looking for baggage that goes with mine." Rent - "La vie Boheme"
"Someone told me there's a chance that I could meet her.
I could be Persephone and she Demeter.
To pull me from the underground that I call home." Trocadero - "No One"
All of Daft Punk's "Something about Us."

There are probably hundreds of other songs I could put here, but I think I'll stop for now.

 

[runnernda]

Anna Nalick, "In the Rough"
"Better off I sparkle on my own."

Rise Against, "Swing Life Away."
"If love is a labor, I'll slave till the end."

Jonathan Coulton, "I Feel Fantastic."
"All I know is the steak tastes better when I take my steak-tastes-better pill."

Bonnie Tyler, "Holding Out for a Hero"
"It's gonna take a superman to sweep me off my feet."

From Wicked, "Defying Gravity"
"I'm through with playing by the rules of someone else's game
Too late for second-guessing
Too late to go back to sleep
It's time to trust my instincts,
Close my eyes...and leap
It's time to try defying gravity
I think I'll try defying gravity
And you can't pull me down
I'm through accepting limits
'Cause someone says they're so
Some things I cannot change
But till I try, I'll never know
Too long I've been afraid of
Losing love I guess I've lost
Well, if that's love
It comes at much too high a cost!
I'd sooner buy defying gravity
Kiss me goodbye, I'm defying gravity
And you can't pull me down!"

Actually, that whole song is awesome, I recommend it.

 

[lithiumvocals]

"Sell the kids for food" from In Bloom by Nirvana.

Goes against all human instinct, so I find it's depravity amusing.

Win.

God there are so many...

Spoiler: Probably This-Werewolves of London

I saw a werewolf with a Chinese menu in his hand
walkin through the streets of Soho in the rain.
He was lookin for the place called Lee Ho Fooks, gonna get a big dish of beef chow mein.

Chorus:
Aaahoo, werewolves of London
Aaahoo
Aaahoo, werewolves of London
Aaahoo

Ya hear him howlin around your kitchen door, ya better not let him in.
Little old lady got mutilated late last night, werewolves of London again.

Aaahoo, werewolves of London
Aaahoo
Aaahoo, werewolves of London
Aaahoo

He's the hairy, hairy gent, who ran amok in Kent.
Lately he's been overheard in Mayfair.
You better stay away from him, he'll rip your lungs out Jim.
Huh, I'd like to meet his tailor.

Aaahoo, werewolves of London
Aaahoo
Aaahoo, werewolves of London
Aaahoo

Well, I saw Lon Chaney walkin with the queen, doing the werewolves of London.
I saw Lon Chaney Jr. walkin with the queen, doin the werewolves of London
I saw a werewolf drinkin a pina colada at Trader Vic's
And his hair was perfect.

ahhhooooo, werewolves of London
Draw blood

 

[KindOfnElf]

30 Seconds To Mars

Spoiler: Savior

"Savior"

Until you crash
Until you burn
Until you lie
Until you learn
Until you see
Until you believe
Until you fight
Until you fall
Until the end of everything at all
Until you die
Until you're alive

Don't save me, don't save me, cuz I don't care
Don't save me, don't save me, cuz
I don't care

Until you give
Until you've used
Until you've lost
Until you lose
Until you see, how could you believe?
Until you've lived a thousand times
Until you've seen the other side
This is my chance, this is my chance

Don't save me, don't save me, cuz I don't care
Don't save me, don't save me, cuz
I don't care

Until the truth becomes a lie
Until you change, until you deny
Until you believe

This is my chance, this is my chance
I'll take it now because I can
This is my chance, I want it now

Don't save me, don't save me, cuz I don't care
Don't save me, don't save me, cuz
I don't care

Save me, save me, save me
Save me, save me, save me
I don't care

Couldn't pick up a line from that, sorry. It's just so very perfect the way it is.

But something I really think is awesome is this:
"All we ever wanted is to look good naked hope that someone can take it.
God save me rejection from my reflection, I want perfection" - Robbie Williams, "Bodies"

 

[Just_A_Glitch]

I've been trying to justify you,
In the end, I will just defy you.

As I Am - Dream Theater

Favorite lyric ever. That whole song is lyrical brilliance.

 

[Ninonybox_v1legacy]

well for me its all the lyrics in Lilium, but my favorite line is

Beatus vir qui suffert tentationem,
Quoniqm cum probates fuerit accipient coronam vitae.
Kyrie, fons bonitatis.
Kyrie, ignis divine, eleison.

(lines start at 0:27)


it just has so much passion when her singing speeds up at that part.

And all the lyrics in the Lucky star intro.

 

[coldwarkid]

Mine are:

Malcolm Middleton - The Rebel on his Own Tonight

Pure as vodka, pure as snow,
She kisses like it's a terrorist act.
"Everything's about ghosts you know,"
She said, then dressed, then packed.

Elliott Smith - Tomorrow Tomorrow

They took your life apart
And called your failures art
They were wrong, though
They won't know till tomorrow

 

[Macheteswordgun]

Slayer - Seasons In The Abyss

Close your eyes
Look deep in your soul
Step outside yourself
And let your mind go
Frozen eyes stare deep in your mind as you die

Close your eyes
And forget your name
Step outside yourself
And let your thoughts drain
As you go insane, go insane

PURE! FUCKING! WIN!

You good sir have ninja'd me

 

[RedDeadFred]

Tenacious D: Fuck Her Gently
What's your favorite posish? That's cool with me it's not my favorite but I'll do it for you.
What's you favorite dish? I'm not gonna cook it but I'll order it from Zanzibar!

 

[Aethren]

Bad Boy - Cascada

Be my bad boy, be my man,
Be my weekend lover,
But don't be my friend.
You can be my bad boy,
But understand,
That I don't need you in my life again.
