Lyrics that hit you

There are just those lyrics in some songs that really sink into your heart or remind you of time gone by. Here are a couple that really get me:

"Rainbows I'm inclined to pursue..." - Call Me Irresponsible covered by Michael Buble

"This ain't where the bandwagon stops, this is just one of those times when, a whole lot of people drop off" - Find Out Who Your Friends Are by Tracy Lawrence

Any lyrics that you all have heard that really hit you?

"Oh, oh we need each other
So what's the fighting for
Oh, oh we need each other
Please don't close the door
Oh, oh we need each other
Through all the highs and lows
Oh, oh we need each other
And I don't want to be alone

I need you
You need me
'Cause that's the way
It's got to be
I need you
We need each other
I don't want to be alone" - "We Need Each Other", Sanctus Real.

"All this day long I linger here, and on in though the night
my greed, 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"

from "Remember the mountain bed" by Woodie Guthrie

"The futures teaches you to be alone
the present to be afraid and cold
so if I can shoot rabbits then I can shoot fascists"

"Love takes hostages, and gives them pain
gives someone the power to hurt you again and again
but they don't care"

Find myself singin' in the same songs every day.
One's that make me feel good when things behind a smile ain't okay.
Walk - Blind Melon

"Freezing
Can't move at all
Screaming
Can't hear my call
I am dying to live
Cry out
I'm trapped under ice"

I really appreciate these lyrics because they are not a metaphor but it’s really about a guy who’s trapped under ice that can’t breathe and he’s gonna die. It’s quite refreshing. I know. I'm kinda sick.

oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

New Kids on the Block

@ macandkanga,

Yeah, especially with a twist of lime!

@ Telecrater,
You're crackin me up again!
Phip

More like Old Guys on the Street.

you gotta' watch it they were my hanna montana....are you calling me old?

in all seriously....I'll go with this

I feed from the bottom, you feed from the top
I live upon morsels you happen to drop
And coffee that somehow leaks out of your cup
If nothing comes down then I'm forced to swim up
On the way upwards, the colors come back
But all along the bottom is blue, grey, and black
The darkness is cold and perception goes wrong
And the night seems to go on incredibly long

So I ask you why if I'm swimming by,
Don't you see anything you'd like to try?

Yes, grandma. Now don't worry, I'll send someone to change your bed pan in just a bit.

Tonight I feel ambitious and so does my foot as it sinks on the pedal I press it to the floor
I don't need a girl don't need a friend my friend lonesome's unconditional
We're flying forever bored
And for a moment I love everything I see and think and feel I love my broken side view mirror
Cause it's so perfect I'm so perfect you're so perfect you're not here I hear the change in gears
My pile shakes as I hit eighty on the open road
-Eve 6, Open Road Song

Please listen to this song. It a B-side from a band called Ash, on the Life Less Ordinary single (which has four top quality tracks on including the A-side). They are on of the best bands the 90s produced in my opinion (and were a better band then, in my opinion).

Listen to the lyrics because they paint an image so well and the song is just brilliant, it's just lovely - the ending makes me feel warm inside. Lyrics are below the player.



"I moved in that very day
The room was small but I liked it anyway
You watched TV while I dreamed through my mind
And the pregnant girl was busy all the time

September and October passed me by
I decided to go home for a while
I got a lift with an old friend of mine
I wanted her but still she reminded me on the way

So when I got home I went to see Mum and Dad
They asked was I ok was I happy enough
And I smiled and said that I was

A few days later I decided to leave
I couldn't find anyone who could take me
The only thing I could do was take a bus
So at half six I left to get the late express

I boarded the bus with the clean washing over my back
I said I sat with a girl dressed in black
We talked and smiled most of the way
Till the jealous boyfriend angrily led her away

Then when I reached the house there was a party on inside
My friend came to the door took my bags from my hands
And welcomed me in from the night
As I was walking through the happy house on halloween night

My friends were all there and my heart was glad and my life felt actually alright" - Ash, Halloween

"I'm not a poet, and I know it.
There's no deep secret tossing inside me.
I have no timing, I can't form my feelings.
Sometimes I rhyme, sometimes I don't"
-Woodgrain by Jeff Tweedy

And while the Pope owns 51% of General Motors
And the stock exchange is the only thing he's qualified to quote us

Seriously, Jimi Hendrix Bold as Love lyrics is my fave of all. I usually don't care much for what's said in a song but how it's said. I don't know what Jimi's talkin about here but it sounds beautiful:

Anger he smiles, towering in shiny metallic purple armour
Queen jealousy, envy waits behind him
Her fiery green gown sneers at the grassy ground

Blue are the life-giving waters taken for granted,
They quietly understand
Once happy turquoise armies lay opposite ready,
But wonder why the fight is on

But theyre all bold as love, yes, theyre all bold as love
Yeah, theyre all bold as love
Just ask the axis

My red is so confident that he flashes trophies of war and
Ribbons of euphoria
Orange is young, full of daring,
But very unsteady for the first go round
My yellow in this case is not so mellow
In fact Im trying to say its frigthened like me
And all these emotions of mine keep holding me from, eh,
Giving my life to a rainbow like you
But, Im eh , yeah, Im bold as love
Yeah, yeah
Well Im bold, bold as love (hear me talking, girl)
Im bold as love
Just ask the axis (he knows everything)
Yeah, yeah, yeah

"Theres a skeeter on my peter whipe it off!" - Rodney Carrington

Straight outta Compton, crazy mother**er named Ice Cube
From the gang called Niggaz With Attitudes
When I'm called off, I got a sawed off
Squeeze the trigger, and bodies are hauled off
You too, boy, if ya ** with me
The police are gonna hafta come and get me
Off yo ass, that's how I'm goin out
For the punk mother**ers that's showin out
Niggaz start to mumble, they wanna rumble
Mix em and cook em in a pot like gumbo
Goin off on a mother**er like that
with a gat that's pointed at yo ass
So give it up smooth
Ain't no tellin when I'm down for a jack move
Here's a murder rap to keep yo dancin
with a crime record like Charles Manson
AK-47 is the tool
Don't make me act the mother**in fool
Me you can go toe to toe, no maybe
I'm knockin niggaz out tha box, daily
yo weekly, monthly and yearly
until them dumb mother**ers see clearly
that I'm down with the capital C-P-T
Boy you can't ** with me
So when I'm in your neighborhood, you better duck
Coz Ice Cube is crazy as **
As I leave, believe I'm stompin
but when I come back, boy, I'm comin straight outta Compton

Chorus:

[City of Compton, City of Compton]

[Eazy E] Yo Ren
[MC Ren] Whassup?
[Eazy E] Tell em where you from!

Verse Two: MC Ren

Straight outta Compton, another crazy ass nigga
More punks I smoke, yo, my rep gets bigger
I'm a bad mother**er and you know this
But the ** ass niggaz don't show this
But I don't give a **, I'ma make my snaps
If not from the records, from jackin the crops
Just like burglary, the definition is 'jackin'
And when illegally armed it's called 'packin'
Shoot a mother**er in a minute
I find a good piece o' **, I go up in it
So if you're at a show in the front row
I'm a call you a *** or dirty-ass ho
You'll probably get mad like a *** is supposed to
But that shows me, ****, you're composed to
a crazy mutha**er from tha street
Attitude legit cause I'm tearin up ***
MC Ren controls the automatic
For any dumb mutha**er that starts static
Not the right hand cause I'm the hand itself
every time I pull a AK off the shelf
The security is maximum and that's a law
R-E-N spells Ren but I'm raw
See, coz I'm the mother**in villain
The definition is clear, you're the witness of a killin
that's takin place without a clue
And once you're on the scope, your ass is through
Look, you might take it as a trip
but a nigga like Ren is on a gangsta tip
Straight outta Compton...

Chorus:

[City of Compton, City of Compton]

[Dr. Dre] Eazy is his name and the boy is comin...

Verse Three: Eazy-E

...straight outta Compton
is a brotha that'll smother yo' mother
and make ya sister think I love her
Dangerous mother**er raises hell
And if I ever get caught I make bail
See, I don't give a **, that's the problem
I see a mother**in cop I don't dodge him
But I'm smart, lay low, creep a while
And when I see a punk pass, I smile
To me it's kinda funny, the attitude showin a nigga drivin
but don't know where the ** he's going, just rollin
lookin for the one they call Eazy
But here's a flash, they never seize me
Ruthless! Never seen like a shadow in the dark
except when I unload, see I'll get over the hesitation
and hear the scream of the one who got the last penetration
Give a little gust of wind and I'm jettin
But leave a memory no one'll be forgettin
So what about the *** who got shot? ** her!
You think I give a damn about a ***? I ain't a sucker!
This is the autobiography of the E, and if you ever ** with me
You'll get taken by a stupid dope brotha who will smother
word to the mother**er, straight outta Compton

Chorus:

[City of Compton, City of Compton]

[Damn that *** was dope!]

lol Thats awesome league. I have not listed to that song in years but i still catch my self sining it. I'm not even a fan of rap/hip-hop

"Straight outta Compton, crazy mother**er named Ice Cube
From the gang called Niggaz With Attitudes"

Yeaaaaah! That is a lyric that hits you right outta the gate!

Well shes walking through the clouds
With a circus mind thats running round
Butterflies and zebras
And moonbeams and fairy tales
Thats all she ever thinks about
Riding with the wind.

When Im sad, she comes to me
With a thousand smiles, she gives to me free
Its alright she says its alright
Take anything you want from me, anything
Anything.

Fly on little wing,
Yeah yeah, yeah, little wing


Gotta love Jimi :)

She come up to me
I can't remember what she said
Cause I was in a trance and I forgot it all
I bet you don't know about all that
Revolution in her head
She make a lover seem so magical

She said I'm tired
Come get me off the merry-go-round
I'm wired
Well heaven must of sent you
To save me from the rapture... yeah

There must be something
In the way I feel
That she don't want me to feel
The stare she bares cut me
I don't care
You see so what if I bleed

I could never change
Just what I feel
My face will never show
What is not real

A mountain never seems to have
The need to speak
A look that shares so many seek
The sweetest feeling
I got from you
The things I said to you were true

I could never change
Just what I feel
My face will never show
What is not real

[Chorus]
I could have lied I'm such a fool
My eyes could never never never
Keep their cool
Showed her and I told her how
She struck me but I'm **ed up now

But now she's gone yes she's gone away
A soulful song
That would not stay
You see she hides 'cause she is scared
But I don't care
I won't be spared

[Chorus Twice]

The mournful lamentations of Frusciante's guitar don't hurt either.

"IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIN WEST PHILADELPHIA, BORN AND RAISED!" - The Fresh Prince, Will Smith.

"Can't sleep, the clowns will eat me
They always want to take a bite
Can't sleep, the clowns will eat me
To them I'm just a happy meal"

"Flying so high, trying to remember
how many cigarettes did I bring along?
When I get down I'll jump in a taxi cab
driving through London town
to cry you a song."

Jethro Tull - Cry you a song

I likes to eat my friends and make no bones about it
I likes to eat my friends, I couldn't do without it
Ain't a man or poet, friend, I know just how you'll taste
Your limbs go sliding down my throat and never go to waste

Your death, of course, will sadden me, until I grab your essence
I know your life was not in vain when digestion is commencing
Consider this a celebration and the deepest pact of friends
And I hope that you will dine on me when I come to an end

(ah....)

Even friends may come to you with a new found revelation
But think of it as life renewed and not their termination
"To know you is to eat you" should be the code of lovers
Death brings the highest act of love preserved for one another

(ah....)

People say that what you are is only what you eat
And my friends become a part of me, oh well it's then that life's complete
To know you is to eat you, the act of love supreme
Each one of us inside himself can appetize the dream
~~The Police

Boneyards - Parkway Drive

These are the sentiments
Of a cold blooded cynic
So believe me when I say,
I would love nothing more.

Than for everything,
To end unpleasantly.
Concrete shoes, rising tide,
Grey skies let none survive,
Go.

Don't say I didn't warn you.

[x2]
I would rather see your face in Hell
Than speak another word
Of this perfect world.

Of this perfect world.

Oh, to be buried beneath the waves,
A sailors grave is all I crave.

Bury me (bury me),
5000 fathoms deep,
And leave my bones,
For the depths.

The sharpest teeth await our skin.
The sharpest teeth await...
Bloodlust swarms,
Upon our worthless existence.

The Devil's teeth (the Devil's teeth),
The Devil's teeth,
Beneath our skin.
Whispering of silent vengeance.
Blood debts remain unpaid.

Now every breath of life
Has been betrayed.
Every ideal
has rusted through.

Nothing we hold brings solace,
Feed us to the sharks.
So let nothing remain,
Feed us to the sea.

To be buried,
Beneath the waves.
A sailors grave it's all I crave.
Bury me (bury me),
5000 fathoms deep.
And leave my bones,
For the depths.

There's blood in the water,
(sinking, always, sinking).
There's blood in the water,
(sinking, always, sinking).

There's blood,
In the water.

I would rather see your face in Hell
Than speak another word
Of this perfect ***ing world.

Incubus- Drive:

Sometimes, I feel the fear of uncertainty stinging clear
And I can't help but ask myself how much I let the fear
Take the wheel and steer
It's driven me before
And it seems to have a vague, haunting mass appeal
But lately I'm beginning to find that I
Should be the one behind the wheel

Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there
With open arms and open eyes yeah

Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there
I'll be there

So if I decide to waiver my chance to be one of the hive
Will I choose water over wine and hold my own and drive?
It's driven me before
And it seems to be the way that everyone else gets around
But lately I'm beginning to find that
When I drive myself my light is found

Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there
With open arms and open eyes yeah

Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there
I'll be there

Would you choose water over wine
Hold the wheel and drive

Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there
With open arms and open eyes yeah

Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there
I'll be there

AND RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS- Soul to Squeeze:

I've got a bad disease
But from my brain is where I bleed.
Insanity it seems
Has got me by my soul to squeeze.

Well all the love from thee
With all the dying trees I scream.
The angels in my dreams (yeah)
Have turned to demons of greed that's mean.

Chorus:
Where I go I just don't know
I got to got to gotta take it slow.
When I find my piece of mind
I'm gonna give you some of my good time.

Today love smiled on me.
It took away my face say please
All that you had to free
You gotta let it be oh yeah.

Chorus

Oh, so polite indeed
Well I got everything I need.
Oh make my days a breeze
And take away my self destruction.

It's bitter baby,
And it's very sweet.
I'm on a rollercoaster,
but I'm on my feet.
Take me to the river,
Let me on your shore.
I'll be coming back baby,
I'll be coming back for more.

Doo doo doo doo dingle zing a dong bone
Ba-di ba-da ba-zumba crunga cong gone bad

I could not forget
But I will not endeavor
Simple pleasures aren't as special
But I wont regret it never.

Chorus

Where I go I just don't know
I might end up somewhere in Mexico.
When I find my piece of mind
I'm gonna keep you for the end of time.

Can you guess the song?

"Comin' Home" - Lynard Skynard ???

Well the song:
'Hate Me' by Blue October does it for me, it's bascily me and my GF's song and the chorus line:
'Hate me today,
Hate me Tomorrow,
Hate me for all the things I didn't do for you'

Reminds me of all the people I've failed, oppertunites I've passed up on and the times I have hurt those I care for..

There's more I'll post up sometime maybe..

Guns N' Roses - "Sorry"

You like to hurt me
you know that you do
you like to think in some way
that its me, and not you
[but we know that isn't true]

You like to have me jump and be good
but I don't want to do it

You don't know why I don't act the way you think I should

You thought they'd make me behave and submit [submit]
What were you thinking?
Cos' I don't forget

You don't know why I won't give in
To Hell with the pressure
I'm not cavin' in

You know that I
got under your skin
You sold your soul, but I won't let you in

You talk too much
Ya say that I do
difference is nobody cares about you

You've got all the answers
you know everything
why nobody asked you 'sa mystery to me

[Chorus]
I'm sorry for you
not sorry for me
you don't know who in the hell to or not to believe

[Chorus 2]
I'm sorry for you
not sorry for me
you don't know who to trust now
or who you should believe
you should believe
you close your eyes
all well and good
I'll kick your ass like I said that I would

[Back to song]
You tell them stories
that they'd rather believe
Use and confuse them
They're numb and naive

Truth is the truth hurts
don't you agree?

Its harder to live with the truth about you
than it is the lies about me

Nobody owes you
not one god-damn thing
you know where to put your
just shut up and sing

[Chorus 3]

I'm sorry for you
not sorry for me
you don't know who in the hell to or not to believe

I'm sorry for you
not sorry for me
you chose to hurt those that love you and not set them free

[Back to song]

You don't need
Anyone else to be sorry for you
You've got no heart
N' I know the reasons you tear me apart

So, so you think you can tell Heaven from Hell,
blue skies from pain.
Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?
And did they get you to trade your heroes for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
And did you exchange a walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage?
How I wish, how I wish you were here.
We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after year,
Running over the same old ground.
What have you found? The same old fears.
Wish you were here.


Wish You Were Here- Pink Floyd
