What song lyrics mean something or stick out to you?

[lucid]

I'm a huge music nut, so I wondered if anyone else than me wanted to point out some nice lyrics. It can be several, whether they mean something to you or you just like them. Feel free to elaborate on them as well. Here's some from me to start off.

"Vilify, don't even try." | The National - Exile Vilify
"Wake up and say something, do something. Make something, pretend to feel something. Wait for the day to end." | Street Sects - And I Grew Into Ribbons
"Close your eyes. Dream on, dear little child." | Antihoney - Dove
"So what do you think it's worth, the gift of life, the joy of birth? Well, it's a little less than I'd hoped. Disappointed to find, no deeper meaning to the joke." | Street Sects - Suicide By Cop
"I can never get out of here, I don't wanna just float in fear." | Marilyn Manson - Disassociative
"I know life only demeans, only degrades you. Falling asleep only delays it for so long." | Street Sects - Dial Down The Neon

 

[BlackPoppet]

"Just like a bird, that whistles in the trees, at peace, so happily. Well youre my tree and through the storm, you've stood strong for me, kept me warm as can be like a candy, to an Apple we go together. Your so sweet on me. I can say I do believe, this is my destiny....it keeps calling me" It's whatever.....by Aaliyah.
"Are we living, in a land. Where sex and horror, are the new gods" Two tribes....Frankie goes to Hollywood
"I remember long ago, when the sun was shining, yeah and the stars were bright, all through the night. The sound of your laughter, as I held you tight, so long ago" middle eight bit from Land of confusion...by Genesis
"if theres a bustle in your hedgerow, don't be alarmed now, it's just a spring clean for the May queen" Stairway to Heaven....Led Zepplin
" I'm living dead dead dead dead, only a-live,live, live, live
when I pretend tend tend tend, that I have die die die die die died" Living dead by Marina and the diamonds

Music is the one thing humans got right. Absolutely, unequivocally right.

At the risk of posting too much, I'll dump this whole Jim White song here...

"Phone Booth In Heaven"

Oh where are we going? Oh where have we been? Our hush-a-bye angel, she's safe and tucked in. I drive around town, while
you sit and watch the rain. There's what you think with your heart and what I feel with my brain. For those who plant
nothing but the seeds of the falling there is a phone booth in heaven that no one is calling. It sits on a highway that
leads nowhere. I'll drop you a line next time I find myself there. Remembering them days, how we wore our weakness well.
There's some say that heaven can't exist without hell, well if the proof's in the pudding, and that axiom's true, somehow
the heart of the matter escaped me and you. For those who plant nothing but the seeds of the falling there is a phone
booth in heaven that no one is calling. Though the ghosts of redemption might whisper odd promises, I for one don't put
much faith in them specters. Now the blueprint for sorrow is just to put off the hurt 'til the price of tomorrow becomes
more than love's worth. 'Til what's begged and what's stole is just the hollow remains of some beautiful failure that we
cling to in vain. For those who plant nothing but the seeds of the falling there is a phone booth in heaven that no one is
calling. The truest word heard there is the word that's unspoken 'cause you can't mend what the Good Lord designed to be
broken. Oh where are we going? My darling oh where? Our sweetheart's in dreamland, please let her stay there. We are two
separate people, with two separate ways. Until we come to our senses, it's our sweetheart that pays.​

 

[Horror_Junkie_85]

Lifehouse - Simon

Catch your breath hit the wall scream out loud as you start to crawl back in
Your cage the only place where they will leave you alone 'cause the weak will
Seek the weaker until they've broken them could you get it back again
Would it be the same fulfillment to their lack of strength
At your expense left you with no defense they tore it down and i have
Felt the same as you, I've felt the same as you, I've felt the same
Locked inside the only place where you feel sheltered where you feel safe
You lost yourself in your search to find something else to hide behind
The fearful always preyed upon your confidence

 

[BlackPoppet]

A couple more
"You show the lights that stop me turn to stone, you shine it when I'm alone. And so I'll tell myself that I'll be strong, and dreaming when they're gone
cause they're calling, calling ,calling me home
Calling, calling home" Lights...by Ellie Goulding

"release me from this curse I'm in, trying to maintain but I'm struggling " Disturbia by Rihanna

"When your will, is broken, when it slips, from your hand. When there's no, time for joking. There's a hole, in the plan" Say it right...... by Nelly Furtado

I started out younger at most everything
All the riches and pleasures, what else could life bring?
But it makes me feel better each time it begins
Callin' me home, hickory wind

Gram Parsons

"her intentions fall to the floor" Live - Lightning Crashes

It's melancholic to think about the woman dying, but to me that line feels like a sigh of relief.

"who's going to watch you die?" Death Cab for Cutie - What Sarah Said

I plan to disappear completely for when I CTB. Travel as far away as possible so that if and when I'm found it can't be traced to who I was. I'd rather just have the people in my life wonder "whatever happened to...?" rather than mourning me.

Max Cavalera from Sepultura screaming this:


Ratamahat-mahata-hata Mahata-hata-hata!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When it seems like the night will last forever
And there's nothing left to do but count the years
When the strings of my heart start to sever
And stones fall from my eyes instead of tears

Grateful Dead, Black Muddy River.

I'm a losin' lately gambler but that's not all I've ever been
Cuttin' back your losses is just another way to win.

Corn Lund and the Hurtin' Albert as, Losing Lately Gambler.

Looking out at the road rushing under my wheels
I don't know how to tell you all just how crazy this life feels
I look around for the friends that I used to turn to to pull me through
Looking into their eyes I see them running too

Jackson Browne, Running on Empty.

From the splinter in the hand, to the thorn in the heart, to the shotgun to the head, you got no choice but to learn to glean solace from pain or you'll end up cynical or dead.

Jim White, Ten Miles to go on a Nine Mile Road

 

[Shinbu]

Sink by Plastic Tree
"I start to wish I would disappear"
"I am sinking"
"Because I, who knows nothing, will one day sleep forever"
"In a dream unreachable, I am drowning"
"You know, I am at the edge of the night"
"The words you spill are gently echoing in my heart"

I like this thread but I must stop myself from hijacking it

 

[Remember to forget]

will light the match this mornin', so i won't be alone
watch as she lies silent, for soon light will be gone
i will stand arms outstretched, pretend i'm free to roam
i will make my way, through, one more day in hell...

I used to listen to fight song - Rachel Platten back when I had a bit of hope things could get better. Found it quite empowering :) now I listen to things like Natalie Imbrulia - Torn or the Dear Evan Hansen soundtrack..

 

[Sweet Release]

"take your hatred out on me, make your victim my head" - Marylin Manson - Tourniquet.
"but take me to the haven of your bed, was something you never said" - The Smiths - Reel around the fountain.
"Father Mcenzy writing a sermon that no one will hear, no one comes near" - The Beatles - Elenor Rigby.
"So many years, so many dark memories" - Mando Pony - Five Nights at Freddy's 3.

"How can a heart that's filled with love start to cry"

 

[Nem]

"Get up and get your grandma out of here"
Kiss-deuce.
that line just blows me away, I always thought he was saying "get your brown hole out of here"
Peace/hugs
Neurosonic-so many places
"I know that your parents are brother and sister"
First time I ever heard that I nearly shit myself it was so funny. The song is actually pretty good...sounds like they're pissed off
Peace/hugs

 

[TheSoulless]

"How did it come to this?" from a song of the same name.

"Nothing stops the river as it goes by" from Camel's Spirit of the Water.

Everything, and I mean every line, from Death's Symbolic.

"it's 5am i've got no sleep at all

struggle through tomorrow"

 

[the box is empty]

"Oh, look at my face
My name is "might have been"
My name is "never was"
My name's forgotten""
Hole - Celebrity Skin

Just goes hand in hand with my plan of when I CTB

 

[hershberger]

On moderately bad days:

"Reality will break your heart
Survival will not be the hardest part
It's keeping all your hopes alive
All the rest of you has died
So let it break your heart

Hold onto hope if you got it
Don't let it go for nobody
Hold onto hope if you got it
Don't let it go for nobody
And they say that dreaming is free
But I wouldn't care what it cost me"
-Paramore, "26"

On really bad days (like today):

"Sing me to sleep
Sing me to sleep
And then leave me alone
Don't try to wake me in the morning
'Cause I will be gone
Don't feel bad for me
I want you to know
Deep in the cell of my heart
I will feel so glad to go"
-The Smiths, "Asleep"

 

[a.n.kirillov]

Weirdly enough I am a music nut as well but couldn't care less about lyrics. Might as well all be Japanese. I can appreciate lyrics very rarely, in hip-hop or when they are really good but for me it's all in the music. Language is as seperated from music to me as images, music videos.

 

[marcusuk63]

"Life Is A Lemon And I Want My Money Back"

It's all or nothing
And nothing's all I ever get
Ev'ry time I turn it on, I burn it up and burn it out

It's always something
There's always something going wrong
That's the only guarantee, that's what this is all about

It's a never ending attack
Ev'rything's a lie and that's a fact
Life is a lemon and I want my money back

And all the morons
And all the stooges with their coins
They're the ones who make the rules, it's not a game it's just a rout

There's desperation
There's desperation in the air
It leaves a stain on all your clothes and no detergent gets it out

And we're always slipping through the cracks
Then the movie's over, fade to black
Life is a lemon and I want my money back

I want my money back
I want my money back

What about love?
It's defective! It's always breaking in half

What about sex?
It's defective! It's never built to really last

What about your family?
It's defective! All the batteries are shot

What about your friends?
They're defective! All the parts are out of stock

What about hope?
It's defective! It's corroded and decayed

What about faith?
It's defective! It's tattered and it's frayed

What about you gods?
They're defective! They forgot the warranty

What about your town?
It's defective! It's a dead-end street to me

What about your school?
It's defective! It's a pack of useless lies

What about your work?
It's defective! It's a crock and then you die

What about your childhood?
It's defective! It's dead and buried in the past

What about your future?
It's defective! And you can shove it up your ass

Oh, I want my money back
I want my money back

It's all or nothing
And nothing's all I ever get
Ev'ry time I turn it on, I burn it up and burn it out

It's a never ending attack
Ev'rything's a lie and that's a fact
Life is a lemon and I want my money back

And we're always slipping through the cracks
Then the movie's over, fade to black
Life is a lemon and I want my money back

I want my money back
I want my money back

 

[TheTraveller]

I'm also a music nut. Loving this song lately...
This is absolutely my least favourite life.

 

[one4all]

I want to fuck you like an animal
I want to feel you from the inside
I want to fuck you like an animal
My whole existence is flawed
You get me closer to God

You can have my isolation
You can have the hate that it brings
You can have my absence of faith
You can have my everything

 

[TheTraveller]

I want to fuck you like an animal
I want to feel you from the inside
I want to fuck you like an animal
My whole existence is flawed
You get me closer to God

You can have my isolation
You can have the hate that it brings
You can have my absence of faith
You can have my everything

Good song....

 

[TheTraveller]

What of the pious, the pure of heart, the peaceful?
What of the meek, the mourning, and the merciful?
What of the righteous? What of the charitable?
What of the truthful, the dutiful, the decent?
Doomed are the poor
Doomed are the peaceful
Doomed are the meek
Doomed are the merciful
For the word is now death
And the word is now without light
The new beatitude:
"Fuck the doomed, you're on your own"

Years of trying to do the right things, find justice- it doesn't matter....

 

[not-2-b-the-answer]

Theory Of A Deadman-Hate My Life (Partial End Lyrics)
So if you're pissed like me
Bitches, here's what you gotta do
Put your middle fingers up in the air
Go on and say "Fuck you!"

I hate my job, all of my rich friends
I hate everyone to the bitter end.
Nothing turns out right
There's no end in sight
I hate my life!

So much at stake, can't catch a break
I hate my life
No, it's nothing new hear "it sucks to be you"
I fuckin hate my life
