I would rather fly with eagles to the snow hills
I would rather run with wolves between the trees
I would rather be with trees than in the middle of noisy streets

Your ears are full but your empty
Holding out your heart
To people who never really
Care how you are

not on YouTube

the sun's too bright
and the mountains are too far
and there's nowhere in town
I can get to in my broken car
I've got nowhere to go but to sleep
I would shut my eyes but I've got promises to keep...
I remember, I remember something about who we were
I remember, I remember something about who we could be
I've had nothing to do for years
but dream

And tell the wind
to concentrate
to gear up for
his righteous fate
And tell the sea
to writhe in rage
to fall upon
this golden age

Black then white are all I see in my infancy.
Red and yellow then came to be,
reaching out to me, lets me see.
There is so much more and it beckons me to look though to these,
infinite possibilities.
As below so above and beyond I imagine,
drawn outside the lines of reason.
Push the envelope. Watch it bend.

And following our will and wind,
we may just go where no one's been.
We'll ride the spiral to the end and may just go where no one's been.
Spiral out. Keep going.
Spiral out. Keep going.
Spiral out. Keep going.
Spiral out. Keep going.

Lateralus - Tool (skipped the mid section of lyrics but these two paragraphs are my favourites)

So deeply entwined
Love of a lifetime
But the paid someone to say
Their torment has a name
And after all these years
We get to be together
For all eternity

The lyrics to "Cats in the Cradle" are great.

Most Pink Floyd songs have amazing (almost disturbingly true) lyrics as well.

No one was born to be a slave
Seek the past and place the blame
Tell me the colour of the rain
No one was born to be a master

In the land we live, we die
Praise the oneness, praise the lie
To bind a web around the faker
We will need a true Rainmaker

I’ve been watching you
You’ve been hurting too
You give all your love
Nothing left to show

I have been there too
alone in my despair
Watching life go by,
no one who to share

omg you actually got that! lol that's soo awesome :) i hardly get anyone who knows their songs or lyrics.

Haha! I don't usually listen to them much but I grew up on it. My dad listened to them all the time when I was younger. You can never go wrong with Phish in my opinion. They just have everything!!!!

I guess that it's typical
To cling to memories you'll never get back again
And to sort through old photographs
Of a summer long ago or a friend that you used to know
And there below
His frozen face
You wrote the name and that ancient date, that ancient date
And you can't believe that he's really gone
When all that's left is a Fu*cking song

Saw them gathering sticks from the ground
By the thicket while assembling a nest
on the alert for any lingering threats
building frantically without any rest

Walls grew dense and blocked out the sun
caving in everyone
Darkness fell wiped out a once joyous tone
then famished, like posessed end up eating their own.

Saw them gathering sticks from the ground
by the thicket while assembling the nest

"Coming out your mouth with your blah blah blah
Zip your lips like a padlock and meet me in the back
With the jack and the jukebox
Don't really care where you live at
Just turn around boy and let me hit that
Don't be a little b---- with your chit chat
Just show me where your d---'s at."

So profoundly deep and inspiring. :rolleyes:

(I don't really like that song)

^ Kesha's words of wisdom!

Hopefully, I'll be at the top soon
For now I'm at my house, on the couch, watching cartoons
You know how much you love it when you get it in abundance
Give a -- about a budget when you always be the subject of discussion
But it's nothing when you stop and just say --- it
Cause you walking out in public and you hear 'em talkin' rubbish

Have you ever even seen such determination?
Despite it all, I'm still a theme for the adulation.

Everything I ever wrote I did it from the heart
Never had a top ten but you still respect my art.
