3 doors down, Kryptonite

I took a walk around the world to
Ease my troubled mind
I left my body laying somewhere
In the sands of time
I watched the world float to the dark
Side of the moon
I feel there is nothing I can do



Pearl jam, Black

I know someday you'll have a beautiful life,
I know you'll be a sun in somebody else's sky, but why
Why, why can't it be, can't it be mine



Anberlin, feel good drag

Failure is your disease
You want my outline drawn
You are my greatest failure
Discourse your saving song

Was this over before
Before it ever began
Your kiss
Your calls
Your crutch
Like the devils got your hand



Slipknot, vermillion pt2

She seemed dressed in all of me
Stretched across my shame
All the torment and the pain
Leaked through and covered me
I'd do anything to myself
Just to have her for myself

Now, I don't know what to do
I don't know what to do
When she makes me sad

She is everything to me
The unrequired dream
A song that no one sings
The unattainable
She's a myth that I have to believe in
All I need to make it real is one more reason



A Perfect Circle, The Noose

And not to pull your halo down
Around your neck and tug you off your cloud
But I'm more than just a little curious
How you're plannin' to go about makin' your amends

 

[Kiwong]

I used to live in a room full of mirrors
all I could see was me
well I took my spirit and smashed all the mirrors
now the whole world is there for me to see

JImi Hendrix Room Full of Mirrors.

Pink Floyd - High Hopes

"Encumbered forever by desire and ambition
There's a hunger still unsatisfied
Our weary eyes still stray to the horizon
Though down this road we've been so many times"

 

[Kneesocks]

The vibe is live pump up the bass I got tentacles comin out my face

 

[Felgen]

Well I won't back down, no I won't back down
You can stand me up at the gates of hell
But I won't back down

Gonna stand my ground, won't be turned around
And I'll keep this world from draggin' me down
Gonna stand my ground and I won't back down

Hey baby, there ain't no easy way out
Hey I will stand my ground and I won't back down

Well I know what's right, I got just one life
In a world that keeps on pushin' me around
But I stand my ground and I won't back down

Hey baby, there ain't no easy way out
Hey I will stand my ground and I won't back down
No I won't back down.

This song always cheers me up when I'm feeling down.

 

[Nanita]

Out of college, money spent
See no future, pay no rent
All the money's gone, nowhere to go
Any jobber got the sack
Monday morning, turning back
Yellow lorry slow, nowhere to go
But oh, that magic feeling, nowhere to go
Oh, that magic feeling
Nowhere to go

One sweet dream
Pick up the bags and get in the limousine
Soon we'll be away from here
Step on the gas and wipe that tear away
One sweet dream came true today
Came true today



(You never give me your money / Beatles)

Linkin park: Little things give you away.

'All you ever wanted, is someone to truly look up to you,
And six feet underwater I do.'

Porcupine tree: Way out of here

'I can't take the staring
And the sympathy
And I don't like the questions,
"How do you feel? How's it going in school? Do you want to talk about it?" '

Many more...

 

[Agent_Violet]

my hands are two travelers they've crossed oceans and lands...yet they are too small on the continent of your skin. wandering, wandering i could spend my life...traveling the length of your body each night

 

[Phoenixx]

Not even 15 minutes later
I'm still walkin' down the street
When I saw the shadow of a man creep out of sight
And then he swept up from behind
He put a gun up to my head
He made it clear he wasn't lookin' for a fight

He said give me all you got
I want your money not your life
But if you try to make a move I won't think twice
I told him you can have my cash
But first you know I gotta ask
What made you want to live this kind of life

He said there ain't no rest for the wicked
Money don't grow on trees
I got bills to pay
I got mouths to feed
Ain't nothing in this world for free
No I can't slow down
I can't hold back
Though you know I wish I could
No there ain't no rest for the wicked
Until we close our eyes for good

Ain't No Rest For The Wicked ~ Cage The Elephant


Don't get me wrong, I love the whole lyrics to this song, but this verse here has been my most favorite.

I'll Stand By You Lyrics: Pretenders

Oh, why you look so sad?
Tears are in your eyes
Come on and come to me now
Don't be ashamed to cry
Let me see you through
'cause I've seen the dark side too
When the night falls on you
You don't know what to do
Nothing you confess
Could make me love you less

I'll stand by you
I'll stand by you
Won't let nobody hurt you
I'll stand by you

So if you're mad, get mad
Don't hold it all inside
Come on and talk to me now
Hey, what you got to hide?
I get angry too
Well I'm a lot like you
When you're standing at the crossroads
And don't know which path to choose
Let me come along
'cause even if you're wrong

I'll stand by you
I'll stand by you
Won't let nobody hurt you
I'll stand by you
Take me in, into your darkest hour
And I'll never desert you
I'll stand by you

And when...
When the night falls on you, baby
You're feeling all alone
You won't be on your own

I'll stand by you
I'll stand by you
Won't let nobody hurt you

I'll stand by you
Take me in, into your darkest hour
And I'll never desert you
I'll stand by you
I'll stand by you
Won't let nobody hurt you
I'll stand by you
Won't let nobody hurt you
I'll stand by you

[Phoenixx]

Who ever told the sun to wake,
and who ever told the moon
to clutch the sea?
Did the sun ever say back,
"Master I refuse to shine?"
Did the moon ever refuse
to change the tides?

What does that say for me?

Have I ever found myself in your favor,
or was it just a temporary covering?
And when the seas become calm,
and the winds have all been settled,
will I still see your love?

Will it slowly fade away
like candle light at dusk?
Or will you be the lighthouse
on the hillside that
guides our every move?

I'd love nothing more than
to pull up my roots and replant
myself in much richer grounds,
shed the dead limbs and re-grow new

When it all fades
and darkness overcomes us,
will you still be there?

Will you still shine?

~ The Lighthouse - Jamie's Elsewhere

This band knows how to write music, their songs are always so beautifully written.

 

[Thundercats]

When you were here before
Couldn't look you in the eye
You're just like an angel
Your skin makes me cry
You float like a feather
In a beautiful world
I wish I was special
You're so ****ing special

But I'm a creep
I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here

I don't care if it hurts
I want to have control
I want a perfect body
I want a perfect soul
I want you to notice when I'm not around
You're so ****ing special
I wish I was special

But I'm a creep
I'm a weirdo
What the hell I'm doing here?
I don't belong here

She's running out the door
She's running out
She runs runs runs

Whatever makes you happy
Whatever you want
You're so ****ing special
I wish I was special

But I'm a creep
I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here
I don't belong here - Radiohead 'creep'



People are strange when you're a stranger
Faces look ugly when you're alone
Women seem wicked when you're unwanted
Streets are uneven when you're down

When you're strange
Faces come out of the rain
When you're strange
No one remembers your name
When you're strange
When you're strange
When you're strange

People are strange when you're a stranger
Faces look ugly when you're alone
Women seem wicked when you're unwanted
Streets are uneven when you're down

When you're strange
Faces come out of the rain
When you're strange
No one remembers your name
When you're strange
When you're strange
When you're strange

When you're strange
Faces come out of the rain
When you're strange
No one remembers your name
When you're strange
When you're strange
When you're strange - The Doors 'people are strange'

 

[Piece_By_Piece]

All my favourite lines from lyrics are from Iron Maiden's songs. Here's an example:

And as they search to find the bodies in the sand
They find it's ashes that are
Scattered across the land
And as the spirits seem to whistle on the wind
A shot is fired somewhere another war begins

And all because of it you'd think
That we would learn
But still the body count the city fires burn
Somewhere there's someone dying
In a foreign land
Meanwhile the world is crying stupidity of man
Tell me why, tell me why

Iron Maiden - For The Greater Good Of God

 

[vj288]

Space may be the final frontier
But it's made in a Hollywood basement
And Cobain can you hear the spheres
Singing songs off station to station
And Alderaan's not far away
It's Californication

 

[vj288]

Her feelings she hides
Her dreams she can't find
She's losing her mind
She's falling behind

She can't find her place
She's losing her faith
She's falling from grace
She's all over the place, yeah

 

[vj288]

'Cause you can't jump the track, we're like cars on a cable
And life's like an hourglass, glued to the table

 

[razzle dazzle rose]

"Well, I don't know where I'll go now
And I don't really care who follows me there
But I'll burn every bridge that I cross
And find some beautiful place to get lost."

-Elliott Smith, "Let's Get Lost"

and

"So I'm up at dawn, putting on my shoes
I just want to make a clean escape
I'm leaving but I don't know where to
I know I'm leaving but I don't know where to."

-Bright Eyes, "Landlocked Blues"

Both these songs have a similar theme. I just want to get away

 

[razzle dazzle rose]

"See the animal in his cage that you built,
Are you sure what side you're on?
Better not look him too closely in the eye,
Are you sure what side of the glass you are on?
See the safety of the life you have built
Everything where it belongs
Feel the hollowness inside of your heart
And it's all, right where it belongs"

-Right Where It Belongs

"I am still inside here
A little bit comes bleeding through
I wish this could have been any other way
Oh, but I just don't know, I don't know what else I can do..."

-Every Day Is Exactly The Same

Both by Nine Inch Nails
