"When our worlds, they fall apart
When the walls come tumbling in
Though we may deserve it
It will be worth it"

Depeche Mode - Halo.

Fun exercise, listen to this song, and try to compare the number of points in the song to the Arbiter's story in Halo.

Got a head full of ideas, driving me insane
Every time I look in amirror, all these lies in my face getting clearer
My shaving razers cold, and it stings

So, so many

Anathema - Forgotten Hopes:
Hey you; rotting in an alcoholic shell
Banging on the walls of your intoxicated mind
Do you ever wonder why you were left alone
As your heart grew colder and finally turned to stone

Did I punish you for dreaming?
Did I break your heart and leave you crying?
Do you ever dream of escaping?
Don't you ever dream of escaping...

Pathetic oblivion
Forgotten hopes buried in your soul's lonely grave
Pathetic oblivion
Remember how you were before you locked your heart away

Did I punish you for dreaming?
Did I break your heart and leave you crying?
Do you ever dream of escaping?
Don't you ever dream of escaping...

Pink Floyd - Time

Ticking Away; The moments that make up a dull day
You fritter and waste the hours in an off hand way
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way.
Tired of lying in the sunshine; staying home to watch the rain
And you are young and life is long and there is time to kill today

And then one day you'll find... ten years have got behind you
Noone told you when to run, you missed the starting gun.

"And suddenly, Albi wasn't racist any more! *insert obnoxious laughter*"- Albi the Racist Dragon, Flight of the Conchords.

but seriously...
"...I am nothing, no one, nobody, no more," Maria, Rage Against the Machine

...That looks really emo out of context. Oh well.

EDIT: I can't believe I hadn't thought of this!
"Desmond has his barrow in the market place...
Molly is the singer in a band...
Desmond says to Molly "Girl, I like your face"
And Molly says this as she takes him by the hand...
Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on, brah!...
Lala how the life goes on...
Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on, brah!...
Lala how the life goes on.."
Ob-la-di ob-la-da by the Beatles

"But I was caught inbetween, all I wished for and all I need." - In The Sun by Joseph Arthur.

Tis so true T^T
I might have to agree, maybe just because I know that song of by heart on guitar. :D

For me, It would be Duke Special's Freewheel
"I don't want to stand still, I just want to freewheel, I don't want to lose this"
Not so amazing just as a lyric, but, when used in the song, it's fantastic.

I'm not a coward,
I've just never been tested
I'd like to think that if I was,
I would pass
Look at the tested and think there but for the grace go
I might be a coward,
I'm afraid of what I might find out

Mighty Mighty Bosstones, The Impression That I Get. That particular lyric has resonated with me for some time now. I'm sure there are others but I can't seem to think of any right now.

So, so you think you can tell....
Heaven from Hell,
Blue skys from pain.
Can you tell a green field
From a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?

And did they get you to trade
Your heros for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
And did you exchange
A walk on part in the war
For a lead role in a cage?

How I wish, how I wish you were here.
We're just two lost souls
Swimming in a fish bowl,
Year after year,
Running over the same old ground.
What have we found?
The same old fears.
Wish you were here.


Simple. Cookie for the one who knows the song and the band. Should be an easy one..

Pink Floyd, Comfortably Numb. These verses in particular:
There is no pain you are receding
A distant ship's smoke on the horizon.
You are only coming through in waves.
Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying.

When I was a child
I caught a fleeting glimpse
Out of the corner of my eye.
I turned to look but it was gone
I cannot put my finger on it now
The child is grown,
The dream is gone.
but I have become comfortably numb.

Also most stuff by Lamb of God. They have amazing lyrics, but they're lost on people who aint used to the vocal style. These 2 verses from Foot to the Throat are ace.
Like a bull in a china shop,
But the shelves have all been cleared.
A thief in an empty vault,
The sheep already sheared.

A screen door on a submarine,
An eagle with a broken wing,
Hope in a dead man's dream,
The sound of a bell that will never ring.

You're just wasting time.

Far away from the memories of the people who care if I live or die

"One Great Big Festering Neon Distraction"- TOOL

Runner Up-"Rewarded when I Replicate, Isolate, and Mutate,to Assimilate
A Fragmented Plea for Ego"

"Sequence activate, trip the hammer to eradicate, I must eliminate
I will spread swift justice on their land
Termination imminent, cleanse the parasite insects, the heathens
I am the bringer of the end of time for man
I am not here, I am not far away
I am not here, I will eradicate mankind into the nothingness from whence they came"

Sentient Number Six, Nevermore. If you can't tell, it's about a broken, genocidal AI.

" I know can't slow down, I can't hold back, though you know I wish I could.
