Favourite lyrics!

[Sepheh]

I notice there wasnt a thread on this in here and I always find it interesting to know the answer to... What is your favourite lyric (not necessarily of all time, just for how you're feeling now), from what song, and who is it by?

I am really liking the following lyrics:

and i can swallow failure just to learn, and i can build bridges from, what you burn

These are all taken from Hell is for Heroes - I can climb mountains... I just like the lyrics and how whoever wrote them has turned around two reasonably well known sayings and turned them into a positive...

I have many other fav lyrics and will add them as I remember them! I was just happening to be listening to that song and realised, wow, i love these lyrics!

Happy to see another Hell is for Heroes song lyric there! Another of my favourite lyrics is from Metallica - Fade to Black (its a bit depressing but it has helped me through some rought times this song)

Things are not what they used to be
Missing one inside of me
Deathly lost, this cant be real
Cannot stand this hell I feel
Emptiness is filling me
To the point of agony
Growing darkness taking dawn
I was me, but now hes gone

On the opposite side of everything, for happy lyrics there are The Boy Least Likely To - Be Gentle With Me:

Staring up into the solar system,
All the stars are fixed up in the sky.
I just want to sparkle for a moment
Before I just fizzle out and die.

I'm happy because I'm stupid.
Scared of spiders, scared of flying.
If I wasn't so happy,
I wouldn't be so scared of dying.

Ahh man forgotten how good the smashing pumpkins were! Will be listening to them before i go to bed tonight!

OCS The band responsible for my upbringing in music... Was the first album I ever bought, I was 8 or 9 at the time and totally in love with their music! I love the lyrics to the day we caught the train and I used to listen to it when I was heading down to my girlfriends house in Brighton on the train Anyway the lyrics:

I never saw it as the start its more a change of heart
Rapping on the windows, whistling down the chimney pot
Blowing off the dust in the room where I forgot I laid my plans in solid rock

Stepping through the door like a troubadour whiling just an hour away
Looking at the trees on the roadside feeling its a holiday.
You and I should ride the coast and wind up in our favourite coats just miles away.

Roll a number, write another song like
Jimmy heard the day he caught the train.

He sipped another rum and coke and told a dirty joke
Walking like Groucho sucking on a number 10
Rolling on the floor with the cigarette burns walked in
I'll miss the crush and I'm home again.
Stepping through the door with the night in store whiling just an hour away,
step into the sky in the starbright feeling its a brighter day.

You and I should ride the tracks and find ourselves just wading through tomorrow
and you and I when we're coming down we're only getting back
and you know I feel no sorrow.

When you find that things are getting wild don't you want days like these.
When you find that things are getting wild don't you need days like these

I especially like the lyrics to this Death Cab for Cutie song (New Year):

so this is the new year.
and i don't feel any different.
the clanking of crystal
explosions off in the distance (in the distance).

so this is the new year
and I have no resolutions
for self assigned penance
for problems with easy solutions

so everybody put your best suit or dress on
let's make believe that we are wealthy for just this once
lighting firecrackers off on the front lawn
as thirty dialogues bleed into one

i wish the world was flat like the old days
then i could travel just by folding a map
no more airplanes, or speedtrains, or freeways
there'd be no distance that can hold us back.

I also LOVE the lyrics to Led Zeppelins BEST SONG EVER Thank You:

If the sun refused to shine, I would still be loving you.
When mountains crumble to the sea, there will still be you and me.

Kind woman, I give you my all, Kind woman, nothing more.

Little drops of rain whisper of the pain, tears of loves lost in the days gone by.
My love is strong, with you there is no wrong,
together we shall go until we die. My, my, my.
An inspiration is what you are to me, inspiration, look... see.

And so today, my world it smiles, your hand in mine, we walk the miles,
Thanks to you it will be done, for you to me are the only one.
Happiness, no more to be said, happiness....I'm glad.
If the sun refused to shine, I would still be loving you
Mountains crumble to the sea, there will still be you and me.

At the moment these very emo lyrics mean a lot to me:

When I'm lying in your bed play the motions through my head
you know that I'm thinking, I'm thinking...
and I have reasons to believe that I'm not the only
one you spend this time with, but I'll stay...

[Chorus]
You say it you're weak,
you wont let me down [x2]
you lie through your teeth
you smile in your sleep [x2]

When we met you said we were the same, you know
that we're different, we're different,
and all the times you promised me that everything would
work out in the end, you were gravely mistaken

[Chorus]

You lie [x4], you lie through your teeth
you wont let me down, you lie
I deserve better than this

I dream of steel, maroon and warm, your end(x4), you gasp for air, i'll see this through, i'll see through you, your pale(x4), your pale blue eyes

when you're lying in your bed, your eulogies been read
you know that it's fitting, you lie

[Chorus]

You smiled [x4] I deserve better than this

HELL IS FOR HEROES - TRANSMIT DISRUPT

surrounded by a faceless crowd
an operational decline, system closure
abondoned aerials all around
scrambling pictures crackling sounds, failing senses
communication cutting out
the airwaves must be breaking down
intercepted. call disrupted

dissection starts with just a cut
another specimen prepared
for incision
the surgeon brandisheS the knife
he whispers 'this won't hurt a bit'
maybe a little, it's just procedure

first step through the door
and I've been here once before
back then in control
held tight in my hands
and I threw it all away
to glimpse the other side
eyes sunk in my head
hesitation will be death
push back kick it out

bring down the satellite

THURSDAY - UNDERSTANDING IN A CAR CRASH

Splintered piece of glass falls in the seat and gets caught
These broken windows, open locks, reminders of the youth we lost
In trying so hard to look away from you
We followed white lines to the sunset
I crash my car everyday the same way

Time to let this pass
(the time it takes, the time it takes to let go)
Time runs through our veins
(it starts and stops and starts and stops again)
We don't stand a chance in this threadbare time
(the time it takes, the time it takes to let go)
Time to let this pass
(the time it takes, the time it takes to let go)

Staring at the setting sun
No reason to come back again
The twlight world in blue and white
The needle and the damage done

I dont want to feel this way forever
A dead letter marked return to sender

Broken watch you gave me turns into compass
It's two hands still point to the same time 12:03, our last goodbye

So push the seats back a little further
I can see the headlights coming
So push the seats back a little further
Roll the windows down and take a breath
I can see the headlights coming
They paint the world in red and broken glass

Time to let this pass
(the time it takes, the time it takes to let go)
Time runs through our veins
(it starts and stops and starts and stops again)
We don't stand a chance in this threadbare time
(the time it takes, the time it takes to let go)
Time to let this pass
(the time it takes, the time it takes to let go)

Staring at the setting sun
No reason to come back again
The twlight world in blue and white
The needle and the damage done

I dont want to feel this way forever
A dead letter marked return to sender

The spinning hubcaps set the tempo for the music of a broken window
With the cameras on the cameras click
We open up the lens and can't stop

Staring at the setting sun
No reason to come back again
The twlight world in blue and white
The needle and the damage done

I dont want to feel this way forever

when the lights are on the cameras click
we open up the lens to broken glass
(and it's over in a flash)

Staring at the setting sun
No reason to come back again
The twlight world in blue and white
The needle and the damage done

I don't want to feel this way forever
a dead letter marked return to sender

(I'll never understand,
Understanding in a car crash)

In a crash

As far as you get with emo... these thursday lyrics are well emo!

Underoath - Im content with losing:


Like I said
Leave your baggage at the back door
I'm leaving you the way I think it should be
We're always pulling into places that we can't back out of
Starting fights we can't talk our way out of them

How does it feel to be on the recieving end of this one?

I'm half way there and it's all on me
This is what I get for wanting more
This is the way it has to be
Dancing on all these changes
So I walk around with this rope in my hand

So I'll tie it around and around
I'll tie me down

I'll fantasize of being manic
And leaving us behind
In your eyes you were the one that tried

Acceptance is what holds us here
And you my dear are the one I fear tonight
We'll try just one more time

This is the moment that we all live for
Are you ready?

I'm half way there and it's all on me
This is what I get for wanting more
This is the way it has to be
Dancing on all these changes
So I walk around with this rope in my hand

So I'll tie it around and around
I'll tie me down

You can't see past my waving hands
Just running away again

You think so loud it hurts my ears...
I want to know how to get through this
Without choking up
I can't feel you
You're so far from me

I'm half way there and it's all on me

Box car racer - There is

This vacation's useless
These white pills aren't kind
I've given a lot of thought on this 13-hour drive
I miss the grinding concrete where we sat past 8 or 9
And slowly finished laughing in the glow of our headlights
I've given a lot of thought to the nights we use to have
The days have come and gone
Our lives went by so fast
I faintly remember breathing on your bedroom floor
Where i laid and told you, but you sweared you loved me more

Do you care if i don't know what to say
Will you sleep tonight, will you think of me
Will i shake this off pretend its all okay
That there someone out there who feels just like me
There is

Those notes you wrote me
I've kept them all
I've given a lot of thought of how to write you back this fall
With every single letter in every single word
There will be a hidden message about a boy that
loves a girl

Do you care if i don't know what to say
Will you sleep tonight, will you think of me
Will i shake this off, pretend its all okay
that There's someone out there who feels just like me
There is

Do you care if i don't know what to say?
Will you sleep tonight, will you think of me
Will i shake this off, pretend its all okay
That there's someone out there who feels just like me

Do you care if i don't know what to say?
Will you sleep tonight, will you think of me
Will i shake this off, pretend its all okay
That there's someone out there who feels just like me
There is
