Your favorite lyrics from a favorite song.

So what I want this thread to be is that you find a song you really like, or one of your favorites and post the favorite part of that song on here and why it's your favorite. It's okay to post more than one verse as well, just it has to be from the same song.

I'll start:

There's another world inside of me
That you may never see
There're secrets in this life
That I can't hide
Somewhere in this darkness
There's a light that I can't find
Maybe it's too far away...
Or maybe I'm just blind...

For me this probably holds true the best of any song because I'm still in love with my ex even though we've been split since August. Because I still love her I'm battling two worlds, one where I want to move on and one where I don't. So this other world I'm hiding is the one where I still want us to be together, though I won't tell her. In a way she's my light in the darkness but I can't find her, because I don't know if I can fix what went wrong. With all that we're just too far apart, but maybe I'm blind at the same time because she's still here.

When your education X-Ray
Cannot see under my skin
I won't tell you a damn thing
That I could not tell my friends
Roaming through this darkness
I'm alive but I'm alone
Part of me is fighting this
But part of me is gone

I don't tell my friends I still love her and instead I act like I'm over her, and I keep that face on even to my friends. Again I'm lost because I don't know what to do because I'm torn between the two decisions that I'm faced with. In the end half of me has turned cold because all of this but the other half of me still wants to feel but because as time goes on I'm fighting to stay caring instead of turning cold towards relationships all together.

Yea, this made much more sense in my head, but I was listening to music and just felt like I had to vent. Then I thought about making a thread so that way we could all vent a little because I'm sure that I'm not the only one who holds stuff in. So let's hear it from all of you.

EDIT - I forgot to add that since August I lost a best friend, though it happened in July I wasn't aware of it until August because I was out of the country for three weeks. I lost a close child hood friend in November and then my aunt passed away in January so with all of that in the short time frame I've been holding in quite a lot and not really wanting to talk about it because I just feel like I'm lost atm. So yea. If I've been a jerk to anybody lately you now know why.

Seems that I was doin'
Somethin' close to nothin'
But different from the day before...

During my Air Force career I was deployed many times. Not all of them were as exciting as others. Some of my deployments to Saudi shortly after Desert Storm were pretty uneventful, where everyday it seemed I was busy doing something close to nothing....but different than the day before.

I will screw this game up.
Not lyrics but the whole song........

Yo I'll solve it.

Lyrical genius.

So I'm GLaD. I got burned.
Think of all the things we learned for the people who are still alive.
Go ahead and leave me. I think I prefer to stay inside.
Maybe you'll find someone else to help you.
Maybe Black Mesa THAT WAS A JOKE.
HAHA. FAT CHANCE.

My favorite lyrics from the Portal ending song. Ooohhhhhhhh, GLaDOS..

She dreams a champagne dream, strawberry surprise, pink linen on white paper.
Lavender and cream, fields of butterflies, reality escapes her.
And she says that love is for fools that fall behind;
I'm somewhere in between.
I never really know a killer from a savior...

"Dig It Up" by Opiate for the Masses. Not my favorite song, but it's one that's sticking with me lately.

When will we learn from what we put in the ground?
Digging ancient graves back up
And what have we found?

Give it all to me
Give it all to me
Dig it up for me!
Dig it up for me!
Dig it up for me!

For me, the song means memories that we may have buried and tried to bring up only to regret it. It gives me chills, which isn't a common thing.

Favorite Band; Favorite Song; Favorite Member of Said Band

I have a lot of great people I know who make really dumb decisions, so I choose not to pursue relationships with them. Makes it hard sometimes when I'm around them and want to try and build a friendship (or something more) but choose not to based on their life choices. I always find that this song (and that first guitar solo) sum up my emotions in these cases.

Woods by Bon Iver

"I'm up in the woods, I'm down on my mind I'm building a sill to slow down the time."

These are the only lyrics in the song, he repeats them over and over.

These lyrics hold a special place within my heart and soul. I suffer from depression and extreme anxiety. (Something that my snaky babies helps a lot with :)) but my anxiety causes me to down myself almost constantly so much so that I wish I could slow things down so I would be plaguing myself with negative thoughts all the time.

I know I have some happier favorite lyrics, I'll post it when I think about it lol.

Your calm hypnotic eyes
Your Scandinavian glow

You guys have good taste in music!

"Im the barely living son of a women and man who barely made it-
But we're making it
Taped togethet on borrowed crutches and new starts
We all have the same holes in our hearts
Everything falls apart
At the exact same time it all comes together perfectly for the next step"

Be sure to include why it's your favorite and how it touches you :gj:

I do not
understand
what it is
I've done wrong
I'm full of holes
check for pulse
blink your eyes
one for Yes
two for No

I've no idea what you are talking about
I'm trapped inside this body and can't get out.

Kill the sound
that moves the backbone
a pale imitation
for the ages

I've no idea what you are talking about
Your mouth moves only when someones hand's up your #ss.



This song moves me because I feel like somtimes there is a total disconnect between me and the world, and I cannot distinguish if it is my inability to understand you or your inabaility to understand me, but never the less, the result is the same. The song is Body Snatchers by Radiohead. I suggest if you are going to listen to it that you Google the Scotch Mist version as I think it's the best version they have cut. There is one point where Thom Yorke simply does what I can only describe as a primal scream. It's so visceral and authentic.

"I Hold On", by Dierks Bentley, because that's what my wife and I have been doing since we lost our daughter: holding on. How he describes his guitar is how I feel lately; dented, beat all to hell but still holding on to the things that matter: my Faith, my wife and our relationship and my friends and family and going forward from that moment.

I listen to kpop almost exclusively and the lyrics to this song are they way I felt when I met Chris and still do (even though it is a song from a guy to a girl). The song is called "Man in Love" by Infinite. (this is the english translation of the song)
I start humming along to love songs that I didn’t like before
All of the melodramas in the world seem like my story
I try to look good when I didn’t before by paying attention to my appearance
I’m acquiring the bitter taste of coffee

Time goes so fast and my heart grows impatient
I imagine you next to me and film a movie of my own

When a man’s in love, he wants to stay by your side
There’s always so much he wants to do for you
When I’m in love, I want to give everything in my life to you
With just one expectation, your heart
When I’m in love

When a man’s in love, when a man’s in love

My cheeks get redder and my head slowly drops
I’m only looking at you as I’m on my way
My confession gushes out as if I’ve been crazily running
When a man’s in love, even if he loses ten to gain one
He gives all he has as if today is the last day so he won’t regret – all I have

Like a young child, I keep laughing for no reason
I control myself by saying that I’m different from others

When a man’s in love, he wants to stay by your side
There’s always so much he wants to do for you
When I’m in love, I want to give everything in my life to you
With just one expectation, your heart
When I’m in love

I can’t escape because I’m in too deep
The letters in my book are dancing as they form your name
As if you’re the main character of the movie, as if you’re the moon in the sky, I keep seeing you
I draw you out every day – my heart will rest only when you come into my arms
I’ll be your resting place that will never cool down

Look carefully – if you feel this, that means he’s fallen for you
If someone gives you a sign like I am right now, then please notice it

When a man’s in love, he wants to stay by your side
There’s always so much he wants to do for you
When I’m in love, I want to give everything in my life to you
With just one expectation, your heart
When I’m in love

When a man’s in love, when a man’s in love
When I’m in love, when I have fallen for you

When a man lies he murders some part of the world,
These are the pale deaths which men miscall their lives,
All this I cannot bear to witness any longer,
Cannot the Kingdom of Heaven take me home.

It takes a bold band to try and cover Dio but who wouldn't want to give it a shot? Nobody in their right might expects it to be better.

A lot of songs move me for different reasons at different times. This one in particular is soul crushing. The reason is personal, but it's worth breaking the thread rules to maybe introduce you to an awesome band!

Children are innocent,
teenagers F'd up in the head,
adults are even more F'd up,
and elderly are like children...

porno for pyros. Not my favorite song but I always liked those lyrics, so true...

we can skin a buck
we can run a trot line
and a country boy can survive...

Hank Williams Jr. What can I say, I'm a Georgia boy. Call me a redneck, recon that I am:)

Gripping the wheel his knuckles went white with desire
the wheels of his mustang exploding on the highway like a slug from a .45
true death
400 horsepower of maximum performance piercing the night
this is black sunshine

White Zombie. I have had two mustangs, both supercharged, both black, and both very fun to drive.

my favorite song ever would probably be Paranoid Android by Radiohead. Not really sure what to make of the lyrics of that song, but it is one I never grow tired of hearing...

baby baby baby ohhhhhh
baby baby baby ohhhhhh
baby baby baby ohhhhhhh

Justin Beiber!


:DJust kidding about the last one, lol:D

I lie awake and pray
That you will look my way
I have all this longing in my heart
I knew it right from the start

Oh my pretty pretty boy I love you
Like I never ever loved no one before you
Pretty pretty boy of mine
Just tell me you love me too...........

From my favorite artist...... Who can identify it?

And the days go by, like a strand in the wind
In the web that is my own, I begin again......

Chorus: just like the white winged dove.....

Stevie Nicks.................... my wife is a huge fan :gj:

"What Shall We Do Now" - Roger Waters

What shall we use to fill the empty spaces
Where waves of hunger roar?
Shall we set out across the sea of faces
In search of more and more applause?
Shall we buy a new guitar?
Shall we drive a more powerful car?
Shall we work straight through the night?
Shall we get into fights?
Leave the lights on?
Drop bombs?
Do tours of the east?
Contract diseases?
Bury bones?
Break up homes?
Send flowers by phone?
Take to drink?
Go to shrinks?
Give up meat?
Rarely sleep?
Keep people as pets?
Train dogs?
Race rats?
Fill the attic with cash?
Bury treasure?
Store up leisure?
But never relax at all
With our backs to the wall.

Here's another one:
Marilyn Manson-"Fundamentally Loathsome"

Shoot myself to love you
If I loved myself I'd be shooting you

In context with the lyrics below I believe it means that if you care about your own emotional well-being, you would get rid of the source of all your emotional pain so that you wouldn't suffer.

When I hate it, you know I can feel
But when you love, you know it's not real, no.

the problem is that most of my favorite songs have no lyrics at all.

like this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O7kCIX2KiS4 four tet - everything is alright

or this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lrBZeWjGjl8 boards of canada - dayvan cowboy

or this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z0XwOjSpdbc trentemoller - take me into your skin

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RxabLA7UQ9k hans zimmer - time

ok, something with lyrics: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=taNCL5tXFPE

"We are building a religion, were building it bigger, we are widening the corridors and adding more lanes. We are building a religion, a limited edition, we are now accepting callers for these pendant keychains...." and so on.

when it comes to marilyn manson, i think the lyrics to "target audience" are excellent, unfortunately youtube is not being cooperative, i cannot find it right now.


this one is also good: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SZrZ83tdW_k

"I like to wait, to see how things turn out, if you apply some pressure. What happens when you lose everything? you just start again, you start all over again." not very deep, but quite uplifting.

and after all that, i found a song i like purely because of the lyrics.

really excellent stuff: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q3JjlkfX5Gk dispatch - the general

lyrics are in the video description, i dont want to copypaste it all for copyright reasons.



EDIT: but i got to post this...

Sometimes there's just stuff that makes you want to go far away. Sometimes it's people, sometimes it's personal problems.
