Post Your Favorite Lyric(s)

And death climbs up the steps one by one
To give you the rose
That's been burnt by her son

This is the pre-chorus to Dig Up Her Bones by the Misfits
I can't get enough of this song right now.

EDIT" Whether or not this should be in Music & Bands or General Chat, that's up to the Moderators or Admin. I put it here because lyrics come from bands.. lol

Get up on your feet
Don't look so obsolete
And thrash like an athlete!
Don't sit there on your ass
Don't look like you've got too much class
You'll be harassed!
You know we guarantee
This is the key
So rage or get the third degree!
You begin frontal assaults
And start your somersaults

Or:


Life can be for living
Just try and never give in
Tell everyone the way of future world

One day you'll live in happiness
With a heart thats full of joy
You'll say the world tomorrow
Without fear

Bonus points if you can figure out what they are from.

God GB I wouldn't know where to start there are so many great lyrics to be quouted. I guess i'd start with Bob Dylan and go from there.
"the answer my friend is blowin' in the wind".

What you feel is what you are and what you are is beautiful--- goo goo dolls- slide

"if i leave here tommorow...will you still remember me......im as free as a bird now how bout you! and this bird you cannot change.."
i think u can figure tht one out

"and be a simple...kinda man...be somthing...you love and understand...be a simple...a simple man...o wont you do this for somone if you can.."
this 1 also

"i dont know where i go...or where im going...i just want to be...left alone."

"and in the end, the love you take, is equal to the love you make"
Beatles
yeah, yeah, yeah

of course the beatles are classic.

and..."fat bottom girls u make the rockin world go round" lol

"When you appear as an angel
Look at me now, losing my way.
Could you ever kill the pain in my heart
Even though they say angels don't kill?"

"Everybody's so infatuated
Everybody's so completely sure of what we are
Everybody defamates from miles away
But face to face, they haven't got a thing to say "

lol idk

One more "classic" and then i'll shut up.........
from Paul Simon
"Well she took me to the woods sayin'
"Here comes somethin' and it feels so good!"
And just like a dog I was befriended
I was befriended"

One of my favorite Dylan lyric is "don't wanna be a bum, better chew gum"

Also,
I like a lot of Guns n Roses' lyrics, their songs I find are meaningful, especially November Rain & Civil War. And many others. The new Guns n Roses sux though.

"Close your eyes once more and once more believe that they all still believe in you." - Redneck by Lamb of God (at least I think it's redneck).

Or

"You, what do you own the world? How you own disorder?" - Toxicity by System of Down

Or

"Silly monkeys, give them thumbs, they forge a club and beat their brother down." - Right in Two by Tool. This is sung from the viewpoint of some higher being (angels, I think) who is confused why humans (monkeys) are destroying their earth/each other.

Hilarious tele, I say that to this guy I work with every time he offers me a piece of gum (every time, seriously). I don't think he knows what's going on. Continuing-

"Many is the word that only leaves you guessing/Guessing about a thing you really ought to know"-Over the Hills and Far Away by Led Zeppelin (probably my favorite song title as well).

"When I'm at the pearly gates, this 'll be on my videotape, my videotape/Mephistopheles is just beneath, and he's reaching up to grab me/This is one for the goo-ood days and I'll have it all here in red blue green, in red blue green/And you are my center when I spin away, out of control on videotape on videotape on videotape (oooo oooo oooo)/This is my way of saying goodbye because I can't do it face to face so I'm talking to you before it's too late/No matter what happens now, I shouldn't be afraid because I know today has been the most perfect day I've ever seen"-Videotape by Radiohead. That song just pulls so many emotions from me whenever I hear it.

GRX's mention of Right in Two is hitting the nail directly on the head. That song is just a great example of songwriting. One of my favorite lines being "Repugnant is the creature who would squander the ability to lift an eye to heaven conscious of his fleeting time here."

That's not even scratching the surface of my favorite (English!) lyrics.

Well keeping up with my Bob Dylan trend....

"Well, they'll stone you and say that it's the end.
Then they'll stone you and then they'll come back again.
They'll stone you when you're riding in your car.
They'll stone you when you're playing your guitar.
Yes, but I would not feel so all alone,
Everybody must get stoned." - Rainy day womand #12 & #35

Then there's Desolation Row, I love the the lyrics but rather than type (or copy and paste) check out this site

http://www.bobdylan.com/songs/desolation.html

"We like to do 2% jazz, 98% funky stuff!" - Maceo Parker

the entire chorus form Are You Dead Yet? and, You've Been Left On Your Own Like A Rainbow In The Dark

"Is it worth the aggravation to find yerself a job when there's nothing worth working for? It's a crazy situation, but all I need are cigarettes & alcohol" - Noel Gallagher, Oasis.

'No they won't miss you when you're gone;
When your heart stops beating and pumping blood;
Pull the pin, light the fuse,
this song's the smartest bomb.'

You're so in control;
You're so disposable.'

^Anti-Flag, The Smartest Bomb
--
'Ever get the feeling you can't go on,
Just remember whose side it is that you're on,
You've got friends with you till the end;
If you're ever in a tough situation,
We'll be there with no hesitation;
Brotherhood's our rule that cannot bend.

When you're feeling too close to the bottom;
You know who it is you can count on,
Someone will pick you up again;
we can conquer anything together;
All of us are bonded forever,
If you die I die that's the way it is.'

^Pennywise, BroHymn(Tribute)
--
'Strategic marketing hype, media, stereotype
Has our music been castrated? Yes
To you it may sound good
To me it sounds all wrong
The notes and chords sound similar'

^Nofx, The Desperation's Gone
--
'You're draining, you're draining me, I'm not a tub
What ever happened to the girl I used to hold?
I held in such a high regard
Where is the girl who had it all?
I used to think I wasn't worthy of your cause
I used to feel so lucky
Until the day I felt a weakness in my arms
I knew from where it had been coming
You're bleeding, you're bleeding me, I can recall
The passions you once had, where did they go?
I knew a girl who had it all?
I knew a girl where did she go?'

^Nofx, your Bleeding
--
'You know suicide isn't painless
When you leave everyone in pain '

^Nofx, Door Nails
--
'I never meant to cause you pain,
I never thought I'd be the one who took the fall.

Six minutes down,
Breathing machine,
Brain not feel right.
The look on you is killing me,
Drowning in shame but don't feel bad.
Cause I never feared consequences.
Hate regrets more than apologies.'

^Nofx, Whoop's I OD'd
--
'Ten years ago, I got a call that nearly killed me
Repeat yourself, my hands are shaking
When I was told, my friend was gone I felt so guilty
A thousand questions left unanswered

On and on although you're gone, candles burn without a flame on
Our final call to you, I know you're listening
How could you leave us that way?
Where did you go? (ten years today!)'

^Bullet For My Valentine, 10Years Today
--


Well lots of lyrics, lots of songs, some of you may know the meaning behind me...liking those lyrics ahaha fuck -_- lifes screwed you know?

Nutter, I really like

'You know suicide isn't painless
When you leave everyone in pain '

You guys have some really interesting lyrics here!

sounds like its from M*A*S*H

just one line
"let freedom ring,with a shotgun blast"

One of my favorite from Metal genre...
Running Wild - Diamonds of the black chest

Since then he heard about the chest
He's so wild he can't get no rest
A million diamonds blinding his eyes
Brighter than fire but colder than ice

Sweat on his brow, greed burns his mind
Hands like claws his teeth always grind
Soaked by sweat he wakes up and screams
"Oh, no, it was only a dream"

Diamonds, diamonds
Diamonds of the black chest

Years and years he sought that chest
He runs most every risk the man's obsessed
For too many years he's roamed all the lands
To feel the diamonds in his hands

He find the hallow spot, breaking its lock
He opens the gate which is carved of rock
Finding the chest he exults and screams
"Oh, yeah, it's no dream"

Diamonds, diamonds
Diamonds of the black chest

He holds out his hands and he touches the chest
He breaks its seals, he disturbs its rest
Curious and slow he opens the lid
He stares over the edge, what he sees he can't grip

No diamonds but he sees own face
A possessed wreck with an empty gaze
Thrilled by madness he's dying in pain
"No dream, he's insane"
Diamonds, diamonds
Diamonds of the black chest

Yay! Running Wild.


Helloween, Eagle Fly Free.

People are in big confusion
They dont like their constitutions
Everyday they draw conclusions
And theyre still prepared for war

Some can say whats ineffective
Some make up themselves attractive
Build up things they call protective
Well your life seems quite bizarre

Bridge: in the sky a mighty eagle
Doesnt care bout whats illegal
On its wings the rainbows light
Its flying to eternity

Chorus: eagle fly free
Let people see
Just make it your own way
Leave time behind
Follow the sign
Together well fly someday

Hey, we think so supersonic
And we make our bombs atomic
Or the better quite neutronic
But the poor dont see a dime

Nowadays the airs polluted
Ancient people persecuted
Thats what mankind contributed
To create a better time

Bridge: in the sky a mighty eagle
Doesnt care bout whats illegal
On its wings the rainbows light
Its flying to eternity

Chorus: eagle fly free
Let people see
Just make it your own way
Leave time behind
Follow the sign
Together well fly someday

"She's got a brother. We don't get on well with one another
But I quite fancy her mother, and I think that she likes me.
She's got a cousin. In fact, she's got bout a dozen.
She's got one in the oven. But it's nothing to do with me." - Noel Gallagher, Oasis.

"Collect the heads of little girls and
Put 'em on my wall
Hack the heads off little girls and
Put 'em on my wall"
- The Misfits

boogedy boogedy shoop
now that's writin'!

"He's got a big gold ring that says "Jesus Saves" and it's dented from the punch thrown at work that day when he smashed the metal locker where he kept his things after the big boss said "You best be on your way."

"Well his wife and kids are sleeping but he's still awake, on his brain weighs the curse of thirty bills unpaid, gets up lights a cigarette he's grown to hate, thinkin' if he can't sleep how will he ever dream?"

Both of those are excerpts from Pearl Jam's "Unemployable." I feel that song captures the human condition very well in a modern context.

@tele
Misfits \m/



lol

@Crunch those are cool

"Next thing you know, they'll take my thoughts away" - Holy Wars... The Punishment Due, by Megadeth.


"The world is full of Kings and Queens who blind your eyes and steal your dreams" - Heaven and Hell, by Black Sabbath


And you can have it all, my empire of dirt. - Hurt (Johnny Cash version)



"A sickened mind and spirit
The mirror tells me lies
Could I mistake myself for someone
Who lives behind my eyes
Will he escape my soul
Or will he live in me
Is he tryin' to get out or tryin' to enter me?" - Diary of a Madman, by Ozzy Osbourne.

Mine at this point in time would have to be...

Am I telling you lies?
Am I telling you things you don't wanna know?
Take a look at my face.
Don't you wanna go back to happier days?
- Lose Another Friend - No Fun At All

War is peace sure man
A retreat for the damned
A playground for the demented
A haven for those who walk this world
Bereft of heart and soul
Love and war they say all is fair
Take his life
But won't take his hair
Your body has parts your
Country can spare
By the way son here's
Your wheelchair

He once had to be all he could be
Now he's nothing for no one nowhere to see
Funny thing, he's like you & me
It's a funny thing, a funny thing
Tears streak his solemn stare
Abandoned for wreckage nobody cares
No one knew what would happen there
No one spoke no one even dared
Don't ask what you can do for you country
Ask what your country can do for you
Take no prisoners, take no shit

my friend got a girlfriend man he hates that !@%&^ he tells me everyday he says man i really gotta lose my chick in the worst kind of way

"Throwing conspiracy, myself is after me."

@league cool song, take no prisoners right?

Oh and I have another one I forgot

"What do you mean I ain't kind?
Just not your Kind".
- Peace Sells, Megadeth

love the play on words there.

From Something Corporate - "Konstantine"
And you don't want to be here in the future
So you say
The present's just a pleasant
Interruption to the past
And you don't want to look much closer
'Cause you're afraid to find out all the hope
That you had sent into the sky by now had... crashed
And it did because of me

Cold wars are heating up again

"If weakness is a wound that no one wants to speak of, then cool is just how far you have to fall" - Matt Hammitt

"I just wanted to let you know my mind refuses to let you go"
Easily by Muse

"I wanted to say, why the long face?
sparrow, perch and play songs of long face
burro, buck and bray songs of long face!
sing: I will swallow your sadness and eat your cold clay
just to lift your long face

and though it may be madness, I will take to the grave
your precious long face,
and though our bones they may break, and our souls separate
- why the long face?
and though our bodies recoil from the grip of the soil
- why the long face?" - Joanna Newsom, Sawdust and Diamonds

"I dreamed about killing you again last night, and it felt alright to me. Dying on the banks of Embaccadero skies, I sat and watched you bleed. I buried you alive in a fireworks display, raining down on me. your cold, hot blood ran away from me to the sea." -Via Chicago, Wilco

"-...I could not see any wrong in you and you saw none in me.
-All this day long I linger here, and on in through the night, my greeds, desires, my cravings, hopes, my dreams inside me fight,
my loneliness healed, my emptiness filled, I walk above all pain, back to the breast of my woman and child to scatter my seeds again." Remember the mountain bed by Woody Guthrie

"Oh-oh all I want to know-oh, is are you kind?" Uncle john's band by the Grateful Dead

last resort by papa roach


Cut my life into pieces
This is my last resort
Suffocation
No breathing
Dont give a * if I cut my arm bleeding

This is my last resort

Cut my life into pieces
Ive reached my last resort
Suffocation
No breathing
Dont give a * if I cut my arm bleeding
Do you even care if I die bleeding
Would it be wrong
Would it be right
If I took my life tonight
Chances are that I might
Mutilation outta sight
And Im contemplating suicide

Cuz Im losing my sight
Losing my mind
Wish somebody would tell me Im fine
Losing my sight
Losing my mind
Wish somebody would tell me Im fine

I never realized I was spread too thin
Till it was too late
And I was empty within
Hungry
Feeding on chaos
And living in sin
Downward spiral where do I begin
It all started when I lost my mother
No love for myself
And no love for another
Searching to find a love up on a higher level
Finding nothing but questions and devils

Cuz Im losing my sight
Losing my mind
Wish somebody would tell me in fine
Losing my sight
Losing my mind
Wish somebody would tell me Im fine
Nothings alright
Nothing is fine
Im running and Im crying
Im crying
Im crying
Im crying
Im crying

I cant go on living this way

Cut my life into pieces
This is my last resort
Suffocation
No breathing
Dont give a * if I cut my arm bleeding
Would it be wrong
Would it be right
If I took my life tonight
Chances are that I might
Mutilation outta sight
And Im contemplating suicide

Cuz Im losing my sight
Losing my mind
Wish somebody would tell me Im fine
Losing my sight
Losing my mind
Wish somebody would tell me Im fine
Nothings alright
Nothing is fine
Im running and Im crying

I cant go on living this way
Cant go on
Living this way
Nothings alright
