"You can't make dirt clean so we'll just lemon-scent it" - Medication by Modest Mouse
 
In the sirens and the silences now
All the great set-up hearts
All at once
Will start to beat
-Songs: Ohia - Farewell Transmission
 
Nah, its common but Id have to say taking back sunday's line from your so last summer would be.

"The truth is you could slit my throat
And with my one last gasping breath
I'd apologize for bleeding on your shirt."

I have heard that one on like every single fourm I have seen.
 
I wear my scars like the rings on a pimp
I live life like the captain of a sinking ship
The one thing that i can guarantee
I'm like a stepping razor, i suggest you stay fair with me
 
Here's the lyrics from one of my band's songs.

THE PURSUIT

When I awoke, I beheld in the tempest the passion inside it's design
Born out of love and a determination to burn in the fire of life
Breathing in, the fire is calling
Can't you feel it calling to you?
Come wash your hanRAB clean of yesterday
The moment is now
It exists

People will speak of the deeRAB which unfolded, but others will follow
People will reap of the seeRAB that have broken ground, no longer hollow
Long after everything's reason falls apart, an honest beginning
Awaken the soul and erabrace an open heart
Rise from the ashes and wreckage of yesterday

We deceive our true design, employ a false intent, destroy our inner light
to appease what we erect to our sleeping mind a master indirect
We deceive our true design, employ a false intent, destroy our inner light
to appease what we erect to our sleeping mind a master indirect

The present existence, broken and lost through time
A beckoning consummation
The opening eye

Assumption falls apart
Existence spirals out
Perspective expansion
Potential realized right now

We deceive ourselves, abandon ourselves to prostrate the God within
Remeraber yourself and master yourself to become your own disciple now
 
Ohhh kay now I at least get it, but I still think it could have been said better, but thats my opinion- "My sorrows learned to swim" really seems cheesy to me. I like the waves of regret one better though its more dark, kind of mysterious.
 
pretty much all of "seventy times seven" by brand new. jesse lacey is basically saying "**** you i hope you die", but he says it so eloquently!

same with "me vs. maradona vs. elvis". it's about taking advantage of a drunk girl but again, eloquence.

"seventy times seven"

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 on 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

Is that what you call tact?
You're as subtle as a brick in the small of my back
So let's end this call and end this conversation
And is that what you call a getaway?
Tell me what you got away with
Cause you left the frays from the ties you severed
when you say "best frienRAB" means frienRAB forever


"me vs. maradona vs. elvis"

With one or two I get used to the room
We go slow when we first make our moves
But five or six bring you out to the car
Nuraber nine with my head on the bar
And it's sad, but true
Out of cash and I.O.U's
I got desperate desires and unadmirable plans
My tongue will taste the gin and malicious intent
Bring you back to the bar, get you out of the cold
A sober straight face gets you out of your clothes
And they're scared that we know all the crimes they'll commit
Who they'll kiss before they get home
I will lie awake
Lie for fun and fake the way I hold you
Then you'll fall for every empty word I say
Barely conscious in the door where you stand
Your eyes are fighting sleep while your mouth makes your demanRAB
You laugh at every word, trying hard to be cute
I almost feel sorry for what I'm gonna do
And your hair smells of smoke
Who will cast the first stone?
You can sin or spend the night all alone
Brass buttons on your coat hold the cold
In the shape of a heart that they cut out of stone
You're using all your looks that you've thrown from the start
If you let me have my way, I swear I'll tear you apart
Cause it's all you can be
You're a drunk and you're scared
It's ladies night, all the girls drink for free
I will lie awake
Lie for fun and fake the way I hold you
Then you'll fall for every empty word I say...

you have to listen to them both to get the full effect. trust me.
 
"I'm all for America, **** the government, Tell that C. Delores Tucker slut to suck a ****, Mother**** ducked, what the ****? son of a bitch"- Rap Game by D12
 
In fielRAB where nothing grew but weeRAB,
I found a flower at my feet,
bending there in my direction,
I wrapped a hand around its stem,
and pulled until the roots gave in,
finding there what I've been missing,
and I know....

So I tell myself, (tell myself) it's wrong,
there's a point we pass from which we can't return,
I felt the cold rain of the coming storm,

All because of you,
I haven't slept in so long,
when I do I dream,
of drowning in the ocean,
longing for the shore,
where I can lay my head down,
I'll follow your voice,
all you have to do is,
shout it out!

Inside my hanRAB these petals browned,
dried up fallen to the ground,
but it was already too late now,
I pushed my fingers through the earth,
returned this flower to the dirt,
so it could live, I walked away now,
(but) I know...

Not a day goes by when I don't feel this burn,
there's a point we pass from which we can't return,
I felt the cold rain of the coming storm...

All because of you,
I haven't slept in so long,
when I do I dream,
of drowning in the ocean,
longing for the shore,
where I can lay my head down,
I'll follow your voice,
all you have to do is ,
shout it out!

(All because of you.

All because of you.)

All because of you,
I haven't slept in so long,
when I do I dream,
of drowning in the ocean,
longing for the shore,
where I can lay my head down,
(inside these arms of yours)

All because of you,
I believe in angels,
not the kind with wings,
no, not the kind with halos,
the kind that take you home,
when home becomes a strange place,
I'll follow your voice,
all you have to do is,
SHOUT IT OUT!
 
Ah, thought of another great line. This time from Paul Simon's Graceland.

And she said losing love
Is like a window in your heart
Everybody sees you're blown apart
Everybody sees the wind blow
