Greatest lesson you ever learned from a song.

[Dahni]

A lot of people say that music means everything to them.

So, 'scapists, what song has taught you a valuable lesson in life?

off the top of my head, I can only think of Keep Yourself Warm by Frightened Rabbit.
the line "it takes more than fucking someone you don't know to keep yourself warm." is what i'd interpret as having a massive meaning. That meaning being that having sex with anyone and everyone is not the way to go because you won't find love that way, you won't have the emotional bond with that person, etc so you won't "keep yourself warm" ie you won't feel loved and whatnot.

 

[Omikron009]

There are no fingerprints
Deep under water
Nothing to tie one to a crime
And if you seek vengeance
All you need are instruments of pain

Man, I've always wanted to murder a mermaid, and now I know how!

 

[SniperWolf427]

The Beatles will tell you how to successfully murder someone with a hammer.

I hate The Beatles, but that's an awesome song.

[THEMILKMAN]

Most people live their lives in a cage but never realize that they hold the key.

 

[Ultra_Caboose]

Every sperm is sacred,
Every sperm is great.
If a sperm is wasted,
God gets quite irate.

"Nothing ever came from a life that was a simple one." -Flogging Molly

Or

"You can choose a ready guide in some celestial voice.
If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice.
You can choose from phantom fears and kindness that can kill.
I will choose a path that's clear- I will choose Free Will." -Rush

 

[The_ModeRazor]

Was gonna go with Monty Python, but someone beat me to it.
But it is so awesome, I'm still going to choose it.

It's the last verse that gets me...

"I am drowning,
there is no sign of land.
You are coming down with me,
hand in unlovable hand."

Easily my favourite Mountain Goats song, It's just amazing.

the whole albums good, but same for me withe the favoring part

though my favorite line the song is more towards the middle

Our friends say it's darkest before the sun rises
We're pretty sure they're all wrong
I hope it stays dark forever
I hope the worst isn't over
