Favourite lines from lyrics

many different lyrics from songs i love but can't think of off the top of my head...but one of my all time favs which i can relate to is:

Limp bizkits "nookie"

the song opening with:

"I came into this world as a reject
Look into these eyes
Then you'll see the size of the flames (size of the flames)
Dwellin on my past (past)
It's burnin on my brain (ah) "

...this threads is an excellant idea too btw:)

Losing love is a like window to your heart, everyone sees you are blown apart, but everyone feels the wind blow.

Paul Simon Graceland
 
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun

'Transient jet lag/ Ecto mimed bison/ This is the haunt of roulette dares/ Ruse of metacarpi / Caveat emptor' - God I love The Mars Volta! ...they are far from meaningless though, just don't ask me to elaborate ;)

^ Agreed. The Mars Volta is pretty great. :)

Seasons by Jamie's Elsewhere probably has to be my most favorite lyrics of all time. The song is great, but I think reading the lyrics themselves just makes it even better.

Get back to the center
Where it all began
The struggles of a burdened man
Who clung to violence
And transgressed
Against the few who stayed
The few that remained
The few he didn't abandon
Or push away as he left his home
In search of fool’s gold.
He went west but longed for the east
And he waged wars but he longed
For the peace that never made
Its way to ease his troubled heart

I hope they all can see through
The changing of the seasons
We all, we all blossom in spring
And wither in winter (in winter)

When the fall strips you
Of all your color
What will you say as the cold
Eats its way through your bones?
When the ice covers you completely
Completely drained of all hope

I hope they all can see through
The changing of the seasons
We all, we all blossom in spring
And wither in winter

As God as my witness I will survive
To see the sun again
And, wait for its light
To bring its life back to my limbs (my limbs, my limbs)

I pray they all, see through the barren trees
And the lifeless shapes that once were forests
Once the life returns to their eyes

I hope they all can see through
The changing of the seasons
We all, we all blossom in spring
And wither in winter

As God as my witness, I will see the sun!

Eminem Airplanes part 2


Pretend he just stand out side all day and play with his friends
Pretend he even had a friend to say was his friend
And it wasn't time to move in school no changing again
He wasn't socially awakard and just strange as a kid
 
You with the sad eyes
don't be discouraged
oh I realize
it's hard to take courage
in a world full of people
you can lose sight of it all
and the darkness inside you
can make you feel so small

But I see your true colors
shining through
I see your true colors
and that's why I love you
so don't be afraid to let them show
your true colors
true colors are beautiful
like a rainbow

Tell me would you kill to save a life?
Tell me would you kill to prove your right?
Crash, crash, burn, let it all burn
This hurricane's chasing us all underground

When something goes right
Well it's likely to lose me
It's apt to confuse me
It's such an unusual sight
I can't get used to something so right
Something so right

They've got a wall in China
It's a thousand miles long
To keep out the foreigners
They made it strong
I've got a wall around me
You can't even see
It took a little time
To get to me

Not sure if they are "my favourite", but they sure are one of the best ever written, even though they are depressing.

I wonder how winter will be
with a spring that I shall never see
I wonder how night will be
with a day that I shall never see
I wonder how life will be
with a light I shall never see
I wonder how life will be
with a pain that lasts eternally

In every night there's a different black
in every night I wish that I was back
to the time when I rode
through the forests of old

In every winter there's a different cold
in every winter I feel so old
so very old as the night
so very old as the dreadful cold

I wonder how life will be
with a death that I shall never see
I wonder why life must be
a life that lasts eternally
I wonder how life will be
with a death that I shall never see
I wonder why life must be
a life that lasts eternally



Burzum - Erblicket Die Durhther des Firmamaents
 
Regina Spektor - On the Radio

this is how it works
you're young until you're not
you love until you don't
you try until you can't
you laugh until you cry
you cry until you laugh
and everyone must breathe
until their dying breath

Avril Lavigne, Tomorrow

I don't know how I'll feel,
Tomorrow, Tomorrow,
I dont know what to say
Tomorrow, Tomorrow
is a different day.

And I want to beleive you
when you tell me it'll be ok,
yeah I try to beleive you,
Not today today today
today today,
Tomorrow it may change.

Pure Hatred - Chimaira

I have told you things need to change
You never listened or came to my aid
The vicious cycle has not changed
My time's spent rearranged

Motherf*** it all
I can't stand this
Remember when I said
Everyone makes me sick
...Well nothing has changed


Pray For All - Chimaira


I will make you pay for all the lives you've ruined
Pray you're able to breath while I strangle you
Pray for all the lives you've ruined

Everyone you have betrayed will watch you burn


Damn I love Chimaira
And when Im in a bad mood

Death By Machete - Six Feet Under


Death by machete, cut by the blade
A vicious attack to murder and maim
The blood and the innards soon will decay
A number of fingers and toes cut away

Having a blast - Greenday (before they started to suck)

I'm taking all you down with me,
explosives duct taped to my spine, nothings gonna change my mind,
I wont listen, to anyone's last words, I am taking it all out on you
for all the **** you've put me through

Well no one here, is getting out alive
this time I've really-lost-my-mind-and-I-dont-care
So close your eyes, and kiss your self good bye
and think about the time we spent and what they meant
to me its nothing, to me its nothing

Do you ever want to leave a long trail of destruction, and mow down any bull**** that confronts you?

Do you ever build up all the small things in your head, to make one problem that adds up to nothing..?

And no - I am not crazy or going to go on a shooting spree - I just like the angsty and humourous feel of the song.
