"I'm a Mass-Media Casualty / From taking advice from people that don't have a clue."


From "Pig Bop" by Shihad. Not a great track but I love that line.

"And it makes me sick when I think of it
All my heroes could not live with this
and I hope you rest in peace
Because with us, You never did!
And K.D.C., you were much too young!
And you changed my life!
But I draw the line at suicide!
Here's To Life!
"
That's from "Here's to Life" by Streetlight Manifesto. The song describes how various depressed artists (Van Gogh, Hemingway, Salinger) gave up on the world and either killed themselves or (in Salinger's case) stopped trying. The singer then proceeds to tell how he 'draws the line at suicide' and how he will never kill himself - how he was inspired by all these artists but will never allow himself to 'give up'. It's a very uplifting song.

There are too many lines to decide, so I shall put the entire song:-

"Isn't it awfully nice to have a penis?
Isn't it frightfully good to have a dong?
It's swell to have a stiffy, it's devine to own a dick;
From the tiniest little tadger, to the world's biggest prick;
So three cheers for your willy, or John Thomas;
HOORAY for your one-eyed trouser snake;
Your piece of pork, you wife's best friend, your Percy or your cock;
You can wrap it up in ribbons, you can slip it in your sock;
But don't take it out in public or they will stick you in the dock;
And you won't a-come a-back, ahhhhthankyouverymuch."

Post up here what your favorite song lyric is. If anyone posts Taylor swift on here they may be at risk of being stabbed.
Who's Taylor Swift? (Note: That was a serious question. I'm not really into music.)

On a less serious note, it has to be "Pokémon, gotta catch 'em all!"

Cut my life into pieces
This is my last resort
Suffocation, no breathing
Don't give a fuck
If I cut my arm bleeding

This is my last resort

Cut my life into pieces
I've reached my last resort
Suffocation, no breathing
Don't give a fuck
If I cut my arm bleeding
Do you even care
If I die bleeding?

Would it be wrong
Would it be right
If I took my life tonight
Chances are that I might
Mutilation out of sight
And I'm contemplating suicide

Cause I'm losing my sight,
Losing my mind,
Wish somebody would tell me I'm fine
Losing my sight,
Losing my mind,
Wish somebody would tell me I'm fine

I never realized
I was spread too thin
Till it was too late
And I was empty within
Hungry feeding on chaos and living in sin
Downward spiral, where do I begin
It all started when I lost my mother
No love for myself
And no love for another
Searching to find a love upon a higher level
Finding nothing but questions and devils

Cause I'm losing my sight
Losing my mind,
Wish somebody would tell me I'm fine
Losing my sight,
Losing my mind,
Wish somebody would tell me I'm fine

Nothing's alright
Nothing is fine
I'm running and I'm crying
I'm crying
I'm crying
I'm crying
I'm crying
I can't go on living this way

Cut my life into pieces
This is my last resort
Suffocation, no breathing
Don't give a fuck
If I cut my arm bleeding
Would it be wrong
Would it be right?
If I took my life tonight
Chances are that I might.
Mutilation out of sight.
And I'm contemplating suicide.

Cause I'm losing my sight
Losing my mind,
Wish somebody would tell me I'm fine
Losing my sight
Losing my mind
Wish somebody would tell me I'm fine

Nothing's alright
Nothing is fine

I'm running and I'm crying

I can't go on living this way

Can't go on
Living this way
Nothing's all...right!

"I've come here as a man in shambles?worn out from begging on my knees.
Please, I'm just trying to keep my family together.
Now, when you saw you're lover wore a ring around her finger, why didn't you stop?

I have half a mind to make you hurt, to make you bleed, to make you suffer.
I swear, if you've touched her?oh, heaven,
forgive what I would do to you, you monster.
And think about your children?
They'll never believe what you've done.

Listen, I'm begging you, back off.
Let me rebuild all the things that you shattered.

She meant it, I swear that she meant it, she whispered so often,
'Husband, I'll always be here with you.'

But always is always and always is valueless.
I wish I'd never heard her speak a word.

And I hope you see us?your wife and your children
and I? buried in the wreckage of your crime,
while you're laying down your sins,
softly leaning in to kiss your guilt goodnight."

She is mine. You stole her, somehow tricked her but
We'll survive. We will. She loves me dearly?you'll see.
You are blind. She loves me dearly.

Breathe in.

He finally paused to take a breath
then looked down?it felt like staring into hell.
The man was seated in a chair before him, silent,
a statue framed in pain and flesh. He thought,
"Oh, what more can I say to sway him? To make this statue speak?
I swear he's made of stone and I am barely stirring up a breeze."

And after waiting in the silence,
finally turned around to leave.
Broken and barely through the doorway,
breathing slowly, beating hard, he heard him speak:

"I guess love's a funny thing?the way it fades away without a warning.
It doesn't ask to be excused.
And when it's gone?oh, it's gone?and it ain't ever comin' back.

There is nothing you can do to save it,
to make it breathe the way it did when you were sliding on the ring.
Trust me: It's gone for good.

Now there is nothing you can do to stop me.
She is happy when she is with me and I am finally alive. I'm sorry."

I fight for the unconventional
My right and it's unconditional
I can only be as real as I can
The disadvantages I never knew the plan
This is'nt just a way to be a martyr
I can't walk alone any longer
I fight I fight for the ones who can't fight
And if I lose atleast I tried!
We, we are the new diabolic
We, we are the pit of bucolic
If I had to give my life you can have it!
We, we are the pulse of the maggots!

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.

Every single word from this song right here.


And this one too


Simply because they work on both levels, as songs themselves they work for easy listening, but the meanings of the lyrics can be analysed as well. They aren't shoving shitty morals and political statements down your throat, and the lyrics are happy and gentle. And even when you analyse them like I said, the best you can get are things like being grateful for what you have and seizing opportunity.

As you can tell I don't really enjoy much modern music, mainly because it does all the things I hate.

The unfortunate get prayed on by vultures eyes
86 cents in these pockets of mine
And you can take my money,
You can take my time,
But you can't take my heart it's in the city behind

And all the lyrics from the album Kezia by Protest the Hero.

"Never gonna give you up, never gonna run around and desert you" Yes, of course I'm joking, I hate it too.
Anyway for my real one I would have to go with,
"Constant pressure tests my will, My will or my won't, My self control escapes from me still..." The Mirror by Dream Theater
The whole song is great (both lyrically and instrumentally) but that line is kind of funny.

Waiting weak for

Beneath a halo
Eternal light

Hello darkness my old friend.
I've come to talk with you again.
Because a vision softly creeping.
Left it's seeds while i was sleeping.
And the vision that was planted in my brain.
Still remains.
Within the sound of silence.

Hijo de la Luna, originally by Mecano, then covered by Haggard, Sarah Brightman, Drakensang, Stravaganzza and many others.

The lyrics in Spanish are
Tonto el que no entienda
cuenta una leyenda
que una hembra gitana
conjuró a la luna hasta el amanecer
llorando pedía
al llegar el día
desposar un calé
tendrás a tu hombre piel morena
desde el cielo habló la luna llena
pero a cambio quiero
el hijo primero
que le engendres a él
que quien su hijo inmola
para no estar sola
poco le iba a querer

estribillo

Luna quieres ser madre
y no encuentras querer
que te haga mujer
dime luna de plata
qué pretendes hacer
con un niño de piel
Hijo de la Luna

De padre canela nació un niño
blanco como el lomo de un armiño
con los ojos grises
en vez de aceituna
niño albino de luna
maldita su estampa
este hijo es de un payo
y yo no me lo cayo

estribillo

Gitano al creerse deshonrado
se fue a su mujer cuchillo en mano
¿de quién es el hijo?
me has engañao fijo
y de muerte la hirió
luego se hizo al monte
con el niño en brazos
y allí le abandonó

estribillo

Y en las noches que haya luna llena
será porque el niño esté de buenas
y si el niño llora
menguará la luna
para hacerle una cuna
y si el niño llora
menguará la luna
para hacerle una cuna
Translated, it would be:

A fool is he who doesn't understand
a legend tells
that a gypsy woman
implored the moon
weeping, she begged till dawn
to marry a gypsy man
"you'll have your brown-skin man"
spoke the full moon from the sky
"but in retun I want the
the first child
that you have with him,"
one who sacrifices her child
in order not to be alone
is not going
to love it very much

Moon you want to be mother
and you can't find a love
who makes you a woman.
Tell me, moon of silver
what you intend to do
with a child of flesh
ahhh, ahhh
Son of the Moon

From a cinnamon-skinned father a son
was born
white like an ermine's belly
with gray eyes
instead of olive,
moon's albino son
"Dam his appearence!
This is not a gypsy man's son
and you won't get away with this"

Moon you want to be mother
and you can't find a love
who makes you a woman.
Tell me, moon of silver
what you intend to do
with a child of flesh
ahhh, ahhh
Son of the Moon

the qypsy believing himself dishonored
went to his wife, knife in hand
"Whose son in this?
I am sure yu have decieved me!"
and he stabbed her to death
then he went to the mountain
with the child in his arms
and abandoned it there

Moon you want to be mother
and you can't find a love
who makes you a woman.
Tell me, moon of silver
what you intend to do
with a child of flesh
ahhh, ahhh
Son of the Moon

And on nights when the moon is full
it's because the child is happy
and if the child cries
the moon will wane
to make him a cradle
and if the child cries
the moon will wane to make him a cradle

Hey kids, its time to use the "F" word

Fuck fuck fuck fuck...

...living
Fuck dieing,
Fuck laughing
Fuck crying
Fuck this song,
But mostly Fuck You
Fuck love, hate and friends
Fuck following trends,
Fuck this song,
Cant wait till it ends.

Fuck everything,
But fuck you the most
Fuck everyone
But fuck you the most,
With a big rusty pole or a splintery post
Fuck you the most, fuck you

Fuck old school
Fuck new school
Fuck not cool
Fuck too cool
Fuck giving ironically lame
Fuck giving advice
Fuck trying to be nice
Fuck you and you know who you are

Fuck everything,
But fuck you the most
Fuck everyone
But fuck you the most,
With a big rusty pole or a splintery post
Yeah, Fuck you the most, fuck you

I hear you breathin' but your heart no longer sounds strong
But you kinda scared of dying so you hold on
And you keep on blacking out cuz the post is near
Stop trying to fight the reaper just relax and let it go
-I Seen a Man Die by Scarface

?Cause if I wasn?t a fat kid in high school, I would have never listened to punk rock.
And if I knew how to throw a football, I would have never played any music.
-Syke! Life is Awesome by Bomb the Music Inudstry!

The latter was actually my senior quote when i graduated high school.
