Well, hands-down my favourite band for lyrics is Tool. Maynard is the smartest guy who writes deep, intellectual, and often VERY cynical and controversial lyrics that MAKE YOU THINK. Heres some quotes: OPIATE: "Deaf and blind and dumb and born to follow, what you need it someone strong to guide you; like me......If you want to get your soul to heaven, trust in me, now don't you judge or question" - 'Opiate' UNDERTOW: "Do unto others what has been done unto you" - 'Prison Sex' "Waiting like a stalking butler, who upon the finger rests. Murder now the path called 'must we', just before the son has come. " - 'Sober' "This is necessary. This is necessary. Life feeds on life." - 'Disgustipated' AENIMA (there could be quotes for every song!): "Something kinda sad about the way that things have come to be. Desensitized by everything, what became of subtlety?" - 'Stinkfist' "Don't cry or feel too down. Not all martyrs see divinity, but at least you tried" - 'Eulogy' "You claimed all this time you would die for me. Why then are you so suprised to hear your own eulogy?....Get off your f*ckin cross, we need the f*ckin space to nail the next fool martyr."- 'Eulogy' "Some say the end is near, some say we'll see Armageddon soon. I Certainly hope we will. I sure could use a vacation from this: bullsh*t, three ring circus sideshow of freaks..." - 'Aenima' "Some say a comet will fall from the sky, followed by meteor showers and tidal waves. Followed by faultlines that cannot sit still. Followed by millions of dumbfounded dipsh*ts....One great big festering neon distraction, I've a suggestion to keep you all occupied: Learn to Swim" - 'Aenima' LATERALUS "Draining patience, drain vitality. This paranoid, paralyzed vampire act's a little old" - 'The Patient' "I know the pieces fit cuz I watched them fall away. Mildewed and smoldering, fundamental differing. Pure intention juxtaposed will send two lovers souls in motion. Disintegrating as it goes, testing our communication" - 'Schism' "The poetry that comes from squaring off between, and the circling is worth it. Finding beauty in the dissonance....Cold silence has a tendency to atrophy any sense of compassion between supposed lovers/brothers" - 'Schism' "This body reminds me of my own mortality. Embrace this moment. Remeber, we are eternal, all this pain is an illusion." - 'Parabola' "Overthinking, over analyzing separates the body from the mind. Withering my intuition, missing opporunities and I must: Feed my will to feel my moment drawing way outside the lines" - 'Lateralus' And my favourite: "I embrace my desire to feel the rhythm, to feel connected. Enough to step aside and weep like a widow. To feel inspired, to fathom the power, to witness the beauty, to bathe in the fountain, to swing on the spiral...swing on the spiral of divinity and still be a human" - 'Lateralus' As you can see they are all amazing lyrics! My runner-up would be Opeth (points to SIG!)
Time is a valuable thing Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings Watch it count down to the end of the day The clock ticks life away (It?s so unreal) Didn?t look out below Watched the time go right out the window Tried to hold on, but didn?t even know I wasted it all just to (Watch you go) I kept everything inside And, even though I tried, it all fell apart Linkin Park - In The End Those will be my favorite lyrics of all time.
QUEEN!! i see a little silhouetto of a man scaramouche, scaramouche, will you do the fandango thunderbolt and lightning, very very frightning me [galileo] galileo [galileo] galileo, galileo figaro magnifico i'm just a poor boy from a poor family spare him his life from this monstrosity easy come, easy go, will you let me go bismillah no, we will not let you go [let him go] bismillah! we will not let him go [let him go] bismillah! we will not let him go [let me go] will not let you go [let me go] will not let you go [let me go] ah no no no no no no no [oh mama mia, mama mia] mama mia, let me go beelzebub has a devil put aside for me for me for me...
P.O.D.- Youth Of The Nation "Last day of the rest of my life I wish I would've known Cause I didn't kiss my mama goodbye I didn't tell her that I loved her and how much I care Or thank my pops for all the talks And all the wisdom he shared Unaware, I just did what I always do Everyday, the same routine Before I skate off to school But who knew that this day wasn't like the rest Instead of taking a test I took two to the chest Call me blind, but I didn't see it coming Everybody was running But I couldn't hear nothing Except gun blasts, it happened so fast I don't really know this kid Even though I sit by him in class" All songs indirectly reminding me of Columbine make me almost... cry.
"Its mine, its pure and as decent as I can make myself. Inside, we all know, only the strong survive." Flaw - Only The Strong "i can't comprehend society's movement the regression of human existence this is the quest of life fulfill your destiny slow down the fast paced world and you will see past the illusion breaking the foundation collapse the control building a revolution to heal nations it starts within you in this search for i & i the truth is always deep inside (reversal of oneself finding the truth) this is the quest of life we must find the strength for a new movement slow down this fast paced world and you will see the revolution for a new movement" Killswitch Engage - Self Revolution "this is my last serenade i feel you as you fall away" Killswitch Engage - My Last Serenade "i close my eyes but there is no escaping this in your arms in your soul i will be rejuvenation" Killswitch Engage - The Element of One "A little piece of paper with a picture drawn Floats on down the street ‘til the wind is gone The memory now is like the picture was then When the paper’s crumpled up, it can’t be perfect again" Linkin Park - Forgotten "I’m becoming this All I want to do Is be more like me And be less like you" Linkin Park - Numb
No matter what you do Baby no matter how you feel Think about the times when we had zero problems Everyday could last forever Still it turns inside my closet Raise The Question, Raise The Question How, how did we get to this And whatever made you feel like you could talk your #### Now i relise who im dealing with How, how did we get to this And whatever made you feel like you could talk your #### Now i relise who im dealing with limpbizkit - ????? i think its from the new album, i only have a clip of it, its a slow acoustic song
"Now I see the times they changed Leaving us it seem so strange I am hoping I can find Where to leave my hurt behind All the #### I seem to take All alone I seem to break "-Korn, Alone i Break "So I take my face and bash it into a mirror I won't have to see the pain " Korn,Here to Stay "Sometimes I feel like a prophet,missunderstood under the gun like a new disease" Linkin Park, High Voltage :chaz: "Everything falls apart, even the people who never frown eventually break down.) Everything has to end, you'll soon find we're out of time left to watch it all unwind." Linkin Park, P5shng Me Aw*y "Reverse psycology, failing miserably its so hard to be left all alone telling you is the only chance for me theres nothing left but to turn and face you When i look into your eyes theres nothing there to see nothing but my own mistakes staring back at me asking why..." Linkin Park, P5shng Me Aw*y "promises of a better life but what's wrong with the one i'm leading everyone has a different fight a different wound that keeps them bleeding so what's wrong with a little fun everybody needs to find their something" Smile Empty Soul,Your Way "These are the places that I cant feel Torn from my body my flesh it peels During this ride we can cut up what we like Waiting alone i cannot resist Feeling this hate i have never missed Please someone give me a reason to rip off my face" Linkin Park,1 Stp Klsr
Trapt - Still Frame Please help me ’cause I’m breaking down, this picture’s frozen and I can’t get out Please help me ’cause I’m breaking down, this picture’s frozen and I can’t get out (of here) Believe me, I’m just as lost as you Believe me, I’m just as lost as you Linkin Park - In The End (It starts with) One thing, I don’t know why It doesn’t even matter how hard you try Keep that in mind, I designed this rhyme To explain in due time (All I know) Time is a valuable thing Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings Watch it count down to the end of the day The clock ticks life away (It’s so unreal) Didn’t look out below Watched the time go right out the window Tried to hold on, but didn’t even know I wasted it all just to (Watch you go) I kept everything inside And, even though I tried, it all fell apart What it meant to me will eventually be A memory of a time when I tried so hard And got so far But in the end It doesn’t even matter I had to fall To lose it all But in the end It doesn’t even matter
Well, my favorite lyrics of all time come from the well-known band, Evanescence. Please, please forgive me But I won't be home again Maybe someday you'll look up, And, barely conscious, you'll say to no one "Isn't something missing?" You won't cry for my absence, I know You forgot me long ago Am I that unimportant? Am I so insignificant? Isn't something missing? Isn't someone missing me? Even though I'm the sacrifice You won't try for me, not now Though I'd die to know you love me I'm all alone Isn't someone missing me? Please, please forgive me But I won't be home again I know what you do to yourself Shudder deep and cry out "Isn't something missing? Isn't someone missing me?" Even though I'm the sacrifice You won't try for me, not now Though I'd die to know you love me I'm all alone Isn't someone missing me? And if I bleed, I'll bleed Knowing you don't care And if I sleep just to dream of you And wake without you there Isn't something missing? Isn't something.. Even though I'm the sacrifice You won't try for me, not now Though I'd die to know you love me I'm all alone Isn't something missing? Isn't someone missing me? .
Leave your worries all behind cause my love is calling you the room is dark nothing to find can you hear my heartbeat screaming?... ...Don't hide your feelings let's go dreamin Don't hide your feelings let's go dreamin Don't hide your feelings let's go dreamin Don't hide your feelings let's go dreamin have no fear cause my heart will scream for more. Kate Ryan - Scream For More
AFI...so freakin' poetic Now The World (336) Summer, I painted a scene that lit the stars for me. Said "I can erase it for you dear." That summer created those words that came to life in three. They were denied by you. Summer I laid down below a glitter adorned night and silently sparkled my own way. Summer I laid down by you and shared my frail light. You gave the dark to me This Time Imperfect (Sing The Sorrow) There are no flowers, no, not this time There will be no angels gracing the lines, just these stark words I find I'd show a smile but I'm too weak I'd share with you, could I only speak, just how much this hurts me Days of the Pheonix (The Art of Drowning) I remember when I was told of story of crushed velvet, candle wax, and dried up flowers The figure on the bed all dressed up in roses, calling Beckoning to sleep, Offering a dream words were as mystical as purring animals The circle of rage The ghosts on the stage appeared And of course, the infamous Cruise Control (Very Proud of Ya) I would never care if you only wanted my friendship, but somehow you're disappointed that I'm not a slut. I don't want to #### you. I don't want to #### you. I don't want to #### you, so #### you. Funny how bands grow lyrically, hmm? Some other good ones... "Shatterday" - Vendetta Red Days are numbered 6-6-6 And I'll begin the countdown By calling off the circus somewhere in these Cryptic scriptures I'll find myself drifting in a sky Full of... Scars they cut into you Blisters rose colored hue Mayday we're going down These mescaline memories are morose Your kerosene company is comatose "Three Evils" - Coheed & Cambria Across the floor in the hand of where we drove the drill a cautious ear to the mouth of your confession think of all the things we put him through in the face of his god would he tell the truth? still recorded were the words that dribbled out his kiss when eyes go blind in this man of what could once become sever the limbs off his torso in sleep and burn what remains so the world may now see no longer...will we wait for your answers back to the hell where you've come from think of all the times you've once had write them in a letter that says goodbye "Breaking The Habit" - Linkin Park I'm not gonna post the lyrics 'cause yall know them by heart I'm sure
Turn Up The Radio (Die Trying) Turn the world off Turn myself on Turn up the radio Turn up the radio I'm not alone Going Down In Flames (3 Doors Down) Don't tell me what to think Cause I don't care this time Don't tell me what you believe Cause you won't be there To catch me when I fall But you'll need me when I'm not here at all Miss me when I'm gone again, yeah Wake Up (Three Days Grace) I must be running out of luck Cause you're just not drunk enough to #### And now I've had it up to here I don't, I don't want you Numb (Linkin Park) Can't you see that you're smothering me Holding too tightly afraid to lose control Cause everything that you thought I would be Has fallen apart right in front of you (Caught in the undertow just caught in the undertow) Every step that I take is another mistake to you (Caught in the undertow just caught in the undertow) And every second I waste is more than I can take
Fate fell short this time Smiles fad in the summer Place your hand in mine I'll leave when I wanna Feeling This - Blink 182
Hmmmmmm i can't really put in a favourite lyric because i don't have one particular fave. Pretty much my whole music collection is my fave lyric. If you saw my screen name/s on msn you would know what i mean. I just can't decide on one B)
And HOW MANY WORDS were created here? These are CRAZY, but awesome lyrics(!): Cut That City by the Mars Volta Neonecropopulace has no reflection Neocaeczaristic phallic ruins Just east of the rival denial the techs are breathing Welcome to this neotokyo Gridlocks will warn the chromlech alarm Bouquet of cuticles Landscape tantrums Tramontane torching the tramontane I've heard the mumbling of citadels shifting on the richter scale The alleys will flow Marble intercourse Roil the pantheon of subterfuge Tramontane torching the tramontane This marabout isn't untouchable Indentured by servitude Neoinfidels - Let's plug them in Neopolygraphic, trip chords Centrocircuiphobia the fallacy Welcome to neotokyo Tore the wings off seraphin, fed them to the anglophiles In this stag cabaret the bark of buildings surged through the whipping volt adobe. Go to the lexicon you sluggard if you will.
