IMO I would give it to "Easier to Run", but I think the chorus of that song kills it. My favorite lyrics by far are "Do the Ernie, do the Bert--Shake your milky chocolate shirt"
A few of my favs: Steel unload / final blow We the animals / take control Hear us now / clear and true Wretches and kings we come for you ----------------------------- You promised me the sky Then tossed me like a stone You wrapped me in your arms And chilled me to the bone ------------------------------ All you've ever wanted Was someone to truly look up to you And six feet underwater, I do ------------------------------ In this desert In darkness Lying with the gun across his chest Pretending He's heartless As the fire flashes in the sky He was fragile And frozen When the bullet took away his friend And now he's somehow More broken ----------------------------- God save us everyone will we burn inside the fires of a thousand suns
aw man this is so hard XD ok 1. what do I have but negativity cause I can't justifiy the way everyone is lookin at me- somewhere I belong 2. Floating down / as colors fill the light/ We look up from the ground / in fields of paperwhite- blackout 3.Put me out of my fucking miseryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy- Given up 4. One dayI'll be free, I promise. you'll see.- Meteroa artwork (not really a lyric but I loves it so much)
"God save us everyone will we burn inside the fires of a thousand suns." - The Catalyst "I am not the fortune and the fame/or the same person telling you to forfeit the game." - When They Come For Me "In the memory you'll find me eyes burning up/the darkness holding me tightly until the sun rises up." - Forgotten "With hands held high into a sky so blue as the ocean opens up to swallow you." - Hands Held High "Something has been taken from deep inside of me/a secret I've kept locked away no one can ever see" - Easier to Run "It traps me inside mistakes I made/that's the price I pay" - Blackbirds "Time is a valuable thing, watch it flock by as the pendulum swings" - In the End "My insides all turn to ash so slow/and blew away as I collapsed so cold" - Valentine's Day
Linkin Park's lyrics showed a lot improvement with Minutes To Midnight and A Thousand Suns. I agree that a lot of it has to do with Rick Rubin giving the band creative freedom. Here are just a few of my favorite lyrics. "With hands held high into a sky so blue as the ocean opens up to swallow you" - Hands Held High "Just hold on the weight of the world will give you the strength to go." - Robot Boy "And in a burst of light that blinded every angel, as if the sky had blown the heavens into stars." - Iridescent "I'm Swimming in the smoke of bridges I have burned, so don't apologize I'm losing what I don't deserve". - Burning In The Skies "And the shadow of the day will embrace the world in grey and the sun will set for you." - Shadow Of The Day (In memory of my little baby girl who passed away 3 years ago.).
What it meant to me will eventaully be a memory. You like to think your never wrong, you live what you learned. With hands held high into a sky so blue as the ocean opens up to swallow you. Lift me up, let me go. Just a few, i'll post more later.
The Catalyst is LP's best lyrical song. Hands Down. TLTGYA is probably their second best. Others that are pretty strong lyrically are No Roads Left, In Pieces, BITS, Pushing me Away, Breaking the Habit, and In Between. I also really like Chester's lines in WFTE (not so much Mike's rapping though).
Lets try something else. - Cure for the Itch You must exercise the proper technique. - Technique just kidding I wanna be in another place I hate when you say you don't understand - A Place For My Head All I want to do is trade the life for something new holding on to what I haven't got - Waiting For The End But trying to be someone else was harder then it seemed - In Between Mikes verse in We Made It is pretty good. Why I stayed when you just push away - P5hng Me A*wy Tried to give you warning but everyone ignores me - Nobody's Listening
my fav lyrics would be... 1.'freedom can be frightening,if .... cease to be the animal you used to be' love this part 2.'and you were just like me with someone disappointed in you' 3.'in a burst of light...their arms' nobody's listening from meteora is my fav of all songs...and their lyrics hav considerbly improved MTM and ATS...
Oh shit i forgot. "All you've ever wanted is someone to truly look up to you, and six feet underground now i do." LP's best lyrics by far IMO.
