Favorite Lyrics

i dont have any full songs but just pieces of songs (most by thrice, dustin is a great song writer)

"Every time I play with passion I start breaking strings, and my voice cracks when i sing from my heart. Guess that's the price I've gotta pay to know that I'm alive, this melody is tearing me apart."

"ten thousand jaded tourists who've traded in their hearts and hanRAB for disposable cameras, set to do***ent to decay set to capture just enough of life to catalogue the things we throw away"

"Take this blade a test of faith and strike me deep and true, i put all my trust in you!!"

"I wanna write the perfect song and play it just for you while you are tangled up in sleep... I need you more than I'll never knoe and until I stop breathing my lungs will take you for granted"

so much more but thats all i got for now
 
Napalm Death-You Suffer.

Lyrics:

You suffer..but why?

I'm not being facetious, honestly! I think these lyrics are pretty good advice.
 
I think HIM has some of the most beautiful lyrics i've ever read. They're so deep and tragically beautiful...i love this line especially,"I play dead,to hide my heart til the world gone dark fades away".
 
"Have you heard about this house?
Inside, a thousand voices talk
and that talk echoes around and around
The windows reverberate
The walls have ears
A thousand saxophone voices talk

You should hear how we syllogize
You should hear
about how Babel fell and still echoes away,
how we idolize,
theorize,
syllogize,
in the dark,
in the heart"

Pere Ubu, Dub Housing
 
Hawkwind-Utopia.

The lyrics repeated endlessly:

If You Want To Get Into It, You Gotta Get Out Of It...

Pure simplistic brilliance.
 
I've always loved this one line from Bandages by Hot Hot Heat:

I've been tripping from sipping the dripping dirty water tap

The rhythm there is just so perfect it hurts. :p:
 
Me too, bits and pieces stand out and stick in my mind and/or heart forever.

"Sail on silvergirl/ sail on by/ your time has come to shine/ all your dreams are on their way/ see how they shine/ oh if you need a friend/ I'm sailing right behind" (Simon & Garfunkel, Bridge Over Troubled Water)

"Psychic changes are born in your heart, Entertain/ A nervous breakthrough that makes us the same/ Bless your heart girl/ Kill the pressure it's raining on/ Salty Cheeks/ When you hear the beloved song/ I am with you" (Red Hot Chili Peppers, Parallel Universe)

"That's it sir/ I'm leaving/ The crackle/ Of pigskin/ The dust and/ The screaming/ The yuppies networking/ The panic/ The vomit/ The panic/ The vomit/ God loves his children/ God loves his children yeah" (Radiohead, Paranoid Android)

"Something in the way she moves/ Attracts me like no other lover/ Something in the way she moves me/ I don't wanna leave her now/ You know I believe in how.../ You're asking me will my love grow/ I don't know I don't know/ Stick around now it may show/ I don't know I don't know"
(The Beatles, Something)

"And when she walks/ All the wind blows and the angels sing/ But she'll never notice me" (Bowling for Soup, Girl All the Bad Guys Want)

"Limitless undying love that shines around me like a million suns and calls me on and on across the universe" (The Beatles, Across the Universe)

"I am small but I am strong I'll get it on with you/ If you want me to/ What else can I do/ All the world will take a cue from anything you do/ If you want them to/ What else can they do/ I don't wanna fight I wanna get along with you" (Red Hot Chili Peppers, Cabron)

"All in my head/ I'll play dead/ If you want me to/ If you want me" (James, Play Dead)

Every single word of (Eminem, Lose Yourself)
especially "Success is my only motherf*ckin option - failure's not"

Every single word of (Radiohead, Creep) especially
"You're just like an angel/ Your skin makes me cry.../ I wish I was special/ You're so f*ckin' special/ But I'm a creep/ I'm a weirdo/ What the hell'm I doin' here/ I don't belong here/ I don't care if it hurts/ I wanna have control/ I wanna perfect body/ I wanna perfect soul/ I want you to notice/ When I'm not around/ You're so f*ckin' special/ I wish I was special..." (Radiohead, Creep)

Every single word of (Red Hot Chili Peppers, Can't Stop) especially "Your image in the dictionary/ This life is more than ordinary/ Can I get you maybe even three a-these/ Comin' from a-space to teach you bout the Pleiades/ Can't stop the spirits when they need you/ This life is more than just a read-through"

OK, OK, pretty much every lyric ever by them then. I won't bore you with any more.

Those are the ones that have stuck so much I knew them by heart to write them here. (Sorry for any odd mistakes.)
 
woa that's weird, that's nothing like the stairway lyrics I know, where did you get them? here's the lyrics I have, and the ones that match with the song. amazing song though

There's a lady who's sure
All that glitters is gold
And she's buying a stairway to heaven.
When she gets there she knows
If the stores are all closed
With a word she can get what she came for.
Ooh, ooh, and she's buying a stairway to heaven.
There's a sign on the wall
But she wants to be sure
'cause you know sometimes worRAB have two meanings.
In a tree by the brook
There's a songbird who sings,
Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven.
Ooh, it makes me wonder,
Ooh, it makes me wonder.
There's a feeling i get
When i look to the west,
And my spirit is crying for leaving.
In my thoughts i have seen
Rings of smoke through the trees,
And the voices of those who standing looking.
Ooh, it makes me wonder,
Ooh, it really makes me wonder.
And it's whispered that soon, if we all call the tune
Then the piper will lead us to reason.
And a new day will dawn
For those who stand long
And the forests will echo with laughter.
If there's a bustle in your hedgerow, don't be alarmed now,
It's just a spring clean for the may queen.
Yes, there are two paths you can go by
But in the long run
There's still time to change the road you're on.
And it makes me wonder.
Your head is humming and it won't go
In case you don't know,
The piper's calling you to join him,
Dear lady, can you hear the wind blow,
And did you know
Your stairway lies on the whispering wind.
And as we wind on down the road
Our shadows taller than our soul.
There walks a lady we all know
Who shines white light and wants to show
How ev'rything still turns to gold.
And if you listen very hard
The tune will come to you at last.
When all are one and one is all
To be a rock and not to roll.
And she's buying a stairway to heaven.
 
American Justice is all a Lie- career soldiers a san diego punk band http://careersoldiers.com


There is no justice for all
If you don't have money, you're going to fall
Our president gets away with murder everyday
He F#cks over the lower class, but somehow that's just, that's ok

To the leaders of this world: F#CK YOU
Who abuse their power: F#CK YOU
And corporate greed: F#CK YOU
That exploits our neeRAB: F#CK YOU

What the f#ck is this that surrounRAB me?
Democracy and justice is served by greed
Intolerance and bigotry at its high
American justice is all a lie
Blinded by a dream that you can't see
Democracy and justice is served by greed
Ignorance is bliss so you close your eyes
American Justice is all a lie

Businesses exploit us for billions
But never suffer any consequence
Where the f#ck is the justice
For cases like Brian Deneke who was innocent

Rich companies steal billions
Maximum one year in a white collar (minimal security) prison
Lower class man steals food so his family can survive
Left in prison till death, alone and deprived

Is this what you call freedom?
Where the **** is the justice?

unknown soldier- the casualties

oh. oh. oh.

joe is out of school, didnt f#cking ask for much
couldnt get a job, the marines his last hope
down at the frontline, with a gun not a toy
kill many men, not asking what for

oh. oh. oh.

joe is off to die, for another snseless war
no arms, no legs - his mother cries at home
joey wears the flag, so proud to fight for us
and for a government, that doesnt give a f#ck

oh. oh. oh.
oh. oh. oh.

joe is off to die, for another senseless war
no arms, no legs - his mother cries at home
joey wears the flag so proud to fight for us
and for a government, that doesnt give a f#ck

marching to the left, marching to the righ
marching on the frontline, what a f#cking sight
marching to the left, marching to the right
marching on the frontline, what a way to die

joey, joey, joey tell me what you see now
joey, joey, joey please come back home now

marching to the left, marching to the right
marching on the frontline, what a f#cking sight
marching to the left, marching to the right
marching on the frontline, what a way to die
 
I believe that if stones could dream they'd dream of being laid side-by-side piece-by-piece and turned into a castle for some towering queen they're unable to know and when that queen's daughter came of age I think she'd be lovely and stubborn and brave and suitors would journey from kingdoms away just to make themselves known and I think that I know the bitter dismay of a lover who brought fresh bouquets every day when she turned him away to remeraber some knave who once gave just one rose, one day, years ago.
 
Looking back at me I see
That I never really got it right
I never stopped to think of you
I'm always wrapped up in
Things I cannnot win
You are the antidote that gets me by
Something strong
Like a drug that gets me high

What I really meant to say
Is I'm sorry for the way I am
I never meant to be so cold to you

And I'm sorry about all the lies
Maybe in a different light
You could see me stand on my own again
Cause now i can see
You were the antidote that got me by
Something strong like a drug that got me high
I never meant to be so cold

I never really wanted you to see
The screwed up side of me that I keep
Locked inside of me so deep
It always seems to get to me
I never really wanted you to go
So many things you should have known
I guess for me theres just no hope
I never meant to be so cold

This song reminRAB me of all the times that my mother and I argue and no matter how wrong I really am. . . I say **** you!!! Mom, if you read this, I love ya!!!
Crossfade- Cold :(
 
The ORABpring - I'll Be Waiting

Once I had a friend that I could count on
So I thought
Well so it seemed
But times of need are not enough
To prove your frienRABhip to me now
Once I saw a face that I believed in
But a mask was all there was
So who wears the masks and who wears the faces
Well I guess I'll never know

But as I stand here alone in a room full of people
With nothing to say
Beer on their minRAB, and smoke in the air
Call them frienRAB but they just don't care

Friend for life
Such shallow worRAB for broken minRAB
Show me a friend for life
Cause I'll be waiting for that day to arrive
When I'll feel alive
I'll be waiting for that day

Once I found a love I had to know
Now we might know each other just too well
Cause when we're together we just can't get enough
Or is it we just can't get what we want
Once I saw a dream, I had to chase it
Dreams quickly turn to reality
Who's at fault in this game of yours and mine
Well I guess I'll never know

But as I sit here alone
Think of the girl who came softly inside me
The look in her eyes, the smell of her hair
Call her my own but is she really there?

Love for life
Such noble worRAB for noble minRAB
Show me a love for life
Cause I'll be waiting for that day to arrive
When I'll feel alive
I'll be waiting for that day

Once I had a friend that I could count on
Times of need are not enough
Once I found a love I had to know
Now we might know each other just too well
Once I saw a dream I had to chase it
Dreams quickly turn to reality
Now let me close my eyes
Because I don't want to see anything anymore
 
Circle Takes the Square - "Non-Objective Portrait of Karma"

Light as a feather, stiff as a stone...
...ignorance is bliss no wise woman's failed to mention
and surely some koan suggests 'neglect leaRAB to perfection'
but the more I turn my face from the crowd
the more I feel my backs' increasingly compelled
for the sake of escape, to turn a knife on itself,
a knife of relief, from all the petty insight
and finally I'll sleep, I'll sleep through the night.
Bored as fuck with this street corner-cover.
study of a face in a figure. surveying this language as a game
surveilence of this language as the plague.
the dimension of persistence condemns.
This portrait of karma, crafted in accident
text book seduction, minus the text in the language of ghosts
and so we ran, like the wolves were biting,
the inhibitions of their prey kept them from screaming
"scratch my back and I will stab you in yours"
so I chose to live this life alone, without the teeth marks
but I predict, I'll have to sink my fangs in someone else's heart to heal my own.
just a victim's split, one part for the wolves, one part for you.
but I'll grow weary soon, weary of this fractal code,
weary of this hallway lined with ghosts.
just a scratch upon the skin, a drop of blood to let them in
their worRAB will cause the sweetest fracture from a stone's throw
just a scratch upon the skin, a drop of blood to welcome them
parasitic, viral critics, or lovers, like spirits mingling in the mist
that we crafted, a starving jury, let them eat shit from our trerabling hanRAB.
The heat for heat's sake, on this Barnard block of Congress
deductively speaking, the polar of progress
well maybe I put too much faith in the accident
entranced, we danced toward the ripest display of escape
let the starving ghosts feast from this flesh, from these bones,
let them all feast.
In this chess game of language, forced to sit so I play all alone, watch the bathos drift forth like the petals from a wild crafted rose.
 
random pieces of songs...

I wish...that you could share the love you'd shared with others, with me
this isn't love so forever let it go...forever will it burn
this isn't love there on the backend of forever I wish I would never hurt again
-backend of forever, Coheed and Carabria

I won't ask you to give up on the things that seem to keep you gone
but I could be gone too.
feel a little sorry sometimes, you're not here when I am writing
feels a little awkward sometimes, you won't talk but we're not fighting
you hold on to your secrets, and I'm not privy to whats on your mind
but I cannot help but feel tired, so tired, so tired
-anyone,anyone , dashboard

So, is that what you call a getaway?
Tell me what you got away with.
Cause I've seen more spine on jellyfish.
I've seen more guts in eleven-year-old kiRAB.
Have another drink and drive yourself home.
I hope there's ice on all the roaRAB.
And you can think of me when you forget your seatbelt,
and again when your head goes through the winRABhield.
70X7 , brand new

Meet me in outer space.
I will hold you close, if you're afraid of heights.
I need you to see this place, it might be the only way
that I can show you how
it feels to be inside of you.
How do you do it?
Make me feel like I do.
How do you do it?
It's better than I ever knew.
-stellar, incubus

I haven't felt the way I feel today
In so long it's hard for me to specify
I'm beginning to notice how much this feels
Like a waking lirab, pins and needles
Nice to know you, goodbye"
-nice to know you, incubus

You only see what you want to believe
When you creep from the back
You got tricks up my sleeve
24/7 the devils my best friend
Makes no difference it
 
Such A Tragedy - From First to Last

You used to be my angel,
but now you're more like the devil.
Keep on talking darling,
you're bound to kill yourself...
with another thousand worRAB.
And tears my eyes right out;
i'd rather see you without them anyway.
Take me away.
I don't know you anymore.
After tomorrow,
things just won't ever be the same again.
Keep on running darling,
you're bound to kill yourself with another thousand miles.
And tear my eyes right out.
I'd rather see you without them anyway.
Take me away.
I don't know you anymore.
And I know you will never
(rip my heart out) listen to me again.
You will never
(rip my heart out and leave it beating on the floor) listen to me again.
Take me away.
I don't know you anymore.
 
Oh father high in heaven -- smile down upon your son
whose busy with his money games -- his women and his gun.
Oh Jesus save me!
And the unsung Western hero killed an Indian or three
and made his name in Hollywood
to set the white man free.
Oh Jesus save me!
If Jesus saves -- well, He'd better save Himself
from the gory glory seekers who use His name in death.
Oh Jesus save me!
I saw him in the city and on the mountains of the moon --
His cross was rather bloody --
He could hardly roll His stone.
Oh Jesus save me!

Next up: Rocky Votolato - Death-Right

Rocky could be my favourite lyricist ever.

you'll die young if you live so carefully / there are risks you must take to pay this world / I know it would never be that easy / I have not yet earned the right to die / I want you to hear me screaming / I want you to notice what goes on / temptation and evil demons crawling the earth hiding in every corner
I've seen men crippled in anger / the sun burns alive in silence / I've seen men wallow in fear / inaction acts as a blade across the throat / I'll learn how to make decisions / I'll stick by my word - won't let you down / I swear by the grave that's calling / nothing will stop me from doing what must be done
something here is still innocent / It doesn't matter if you decide not to believe it / There are still places where the magic can breathe / I want to breathe it in / I want to lay down and never leave
we're stalking the ancient mariner / through waters he takes his lonely course / once powerful once beautiful / extinction lingering these things are no more / I love you I'll never leave you / though I may be gone for years on end / I will never be separate / lovers through the lives before and after
something here is still innocent / It doesn't matter if you decide not to believe it / There are still places where the magic can breathe / I want to breathe it in / I want to lay down and never leave
 
And if you save yourself, you will make him happy. He'll keep you in a jar, and you'll think you're happy. He'll give you breathing holes, then you'll think you're happy. He'll cover you with grass, and you'll think you're happy. - Sappy
 
The entire album "De-Loused In The Comatorium" by the Mars Volta just blows my mind for lyrics, but in particular, the song Cicatriz ESP. (its 12 and half minutes long, haha)

Cicatriz ESP

Code: 
[color=black][font=Verdana]Do you recall it's name 
As it suggested beck and call
This face and heel 
Will drag your halo through the mud 
Ash of pompei 
Erupting in a statues dust 
Shrouded in veils 
Because these handcuRAB hurt to much 
Scalpeing these ticketless applause 
And when they drag the lake there is nothing left at all 
seutured contusion 
beyond the anthills of the dawning of this plague 
said I've lost my way 
even if this cul de sac would pay 
to reach inside a vault whatever be the cost 
sterling clear 
blackend ice 
when they drag the lake there's nothing left at all 
 
I've defected 
 
seutuerd contusion 
beyond the anthills of the dawning of this plague 
said I've lost my way 
even if this cul de sac did pay 
to reach inside a vault whatever be the cost 
sterling clear 
blackend ice 
when they drag the lake theres nothing left at all 
 
I've defected 
 
beyond the anthills of the dawning of this plague 
said I've lost my way 
even if this cul de sac did pay 
beyond the anthills of said I've lost my way 
even if you reach inside a vault whatever be the cost 
sterling clear 
blackend ice 
when they drag the lake there's nothing left at all 
 
this is my last insicion 
the stitches have defected 
drag me a vessel 
coveting all you know see and hear 
this is my last incision 
the stitches have fallen off 
Sterling clear blackened ice 
And when they drag they lake theres nothing left at all 
 
[i]I've[/i] defected[/font][/color]
