RE: Favorite Song Lyrics
Sitting in the theater well stoned, when the movie was new, and "The Harder They Come" starts with this:
Well they tell me of a pie up in the sky Waiting for me when I die But between the day you're born and when you die They never seem to hear even your cry I have been a fan of reggae ever since. Just for reference: Many pages ago a version of "Last Kiss" by Pearl Jam was posted, I could only think huh. Originally by Wayne Cochran this became a hit as done by J. Frank Wilson and the Cavaliers. This is but one of a series of lame teenage angst songs that infected my high school years and should be excised from anyone's memory banks. As proof I offer the fact that although I own a 45 record version of it I have not listened to it for some 20 years. I probably should sell the record to some freak. |

RE: Favorite Song Lyrics
Oh boy. I could post so many. But I'll just start with my favorite four songs from Gojira's L'enfant Sauvage.
* Explosia Jealously will crush you to the bones Unless you open up and let it go I've only seen too much of it I'm bursting open while you set the tone You ignored this fury too long, I explode Bring back to life this anger, let it grow Put aside mind traps and false belives These heavy weights created pull you down The mask you wear is falling Try on and watch it fall Hands down you feel the moment Releasing out a lifetime All prayers to these gods While the tide is growing high Will you make us stronger When you strike us down? * L'enfant Sauvage So long I've been trying to match It doesn't work I'm trying I don't know The apparition of this world I try to deal with I've killed the part of me That was raging The pain is gone The denial I've run away from institutions I owe myself Life There's no way I will respond to this passion and anger Flowing through me There is light in this world I fight for The reason you won't leave this cage Betray your child The desire that you won't serve to reveal yourself Forgot to create your own life Anger Lies Denial This righteous anger Boiling inside of us Won't last forever Don't fear to let it out Branches are coming through, The wolf is the master The sky is all over me I run on time. * Liquid Fire Eject from the womb, restrained, I'm catching the wind Unfolded fire blows with the words, straight from within The second I was born I found a shelter deep in my own I ventured further out on the edge of the glacier This is how we talk to the world Pure liquid fire running through our veins We're in this alone, we bow to no one Carved by the waves, our sacred temple Sing the praises of no flag, we set the tone This is no fiction, we've come to an end now Our conviction untouched, we build a life straight Intelligence of heart as only guidance Infinite power lies all around us and in the heart The flashes find a way, stealing through these broken walls And when this fire grows, it does it so we can't remember The meaning of this life, we'll be marching until the end Had not taste for more lies, we are standing alone The bright treasure found has no price and no name In the light of this star, with the forces aligned This is how we talk to the world Pure liquid fire running through our veins We're in this alone, we bow to no one Carved by the waves, our sacred temple Sing the praises of no flag, we set the tone This is no fiction, we've come to an end now Our conviction untouched, we build a life straight Intelligence of heart as only guidance * The Gift of Guilt We leave the shores to see the mountains rising A distant impression growing This judgement creates the pain in we hold Destructive intentions that serve no purpose But the end of us all These vultures from the past, coming In all the hells and worlds, the time has come Delivered from their eyes Embrace, suffer, destroy - gift of guilt The shame and sorrow, self-condemnation Fill all the gaps and the spaces, unyielding Bestowed upon us, devastating power We're building connective tissue to a maze of lies We're left as starving orphans The vital core is gone Our sins are all over and over again we swallow We're sick and tired when this wind blows The reflex is insane We must forgive and stop blaming ourselves for this love These vultures from the past, coming In all the hells and worlds, the time has come Delivered from their eyes I'm leaving this behind - the gift of guilt |

RE: Favorite Song Lyrics
You made me hate my own reflection, question every choice I made. So I could try to be perfect but I won't try to be fake.
"My nation expects me to be physically harder and mentally stronger than my enemies. If knocked down, I will get back up, every time. I will draw on every remaining ounce of strength to protect my teammates and to accomplish our mission. I am never out of the fight." - Marcus Luttrell |

RE: Favorite Song Lyrics
I just purchased the new album in Itunes earlier, so I'm kind of on a F.O.B. kick...

Sometimes before it gets better The darkness gets bigger The person that you’d take a bullet for is behind the trigger Oh We’re fading fast" -Fall Out Boy "Miss Missing You" "It was life, often unsatisfying, frequently cruel, usually boring, sometimes beautiful, once in awhile exhilarating." -Stephen King |

RE: Favorite Song Lyrics
"Alone Together"
I don't know where you're going But do you got room for one more troubled soul? I don't know where I'm going but I don't think I'm coming home And I said I'll check in tomorrow if I don't wake up dead This is the road to ruin And we're starting at the end Say yeah Let's be alone together We could stay young forever Scream it from the top of your lungs Say yeah Let's be alone together We could stay young forever We'll stay young, young, young, young, young. You cut me off, I lost my track It's not my fault, I'm a maniac It's not funny anymore, no it's not My heart is like a stallion They love it more when it's broken Do you wanna feel beautiful? Do you wanna? I'm outside the door, invite me in So we can go back and play pretend I'm on deck, yeah, I'm up next Tonight I'm high as a running check... "It was life, often unsatisfying, frequently cruel, usually boring, sometimes beautiful, once in awhile exhilarating." -Stephen King |

RE: Favorite Song Lyrics
Go away from my window
Leave at your own chosen speed I'm not the one you want, babe I'm not the one you need You say you're lookin' for someone Who's never weak but always strong To protect you and defend you Whether you are right or wrong Someone to open each and every door But it ain't me babe No, no, no, it ain't me babe It ain't me you're lookin' for, babe Go lightly from the ledge, babe Go lightly on the ground I'm not the one you want, babe I'll only let you down You say you're lookin' for someone Who'll promise never to part Someone to close his eyes to you Someone to close his heart Someone to die for you and more Go melt into the night, babe Everything inside's made of stone There's nothing in here moving And anyway, I'm not alone You say you're lookin' for someone To pick you up each time you fall To gather flowers constantly And to come each time you call And will love you for your life And nothin' more - Bob Dylan "It Ain't me, Babe" "It was life, often unsatisfying, frequently cruel, usually boring, sometimes beautiful, once in awhile exhilarating." -Stephen King |

RE: Favorite Song Lyrics
Dukes of Stratosphear - Little Lighthouse :
She's a little lighthouse when she Opens up her huge eyes And streams of diamonds shoot out 'Til we're wading waist deep In her brilliant love She's a little lighthouse when she Opens up her red mouth And gold word ribbons rope and rodeo The dark clouds in bouquet above For how long will this dark age last? For how long must we wait to learn? Across the black and fossil ocean vast I spy love and she doth brightly burn Love sure lives in the right house She's a little lighthouse when she Opens up her huge mind and Thoughts descending spears of crystal Build a Jacob's ladder up to love She's a little lighthouse When she opens up her red dress Show skin of rubber marble Lit by knowledge and the fireflies above And can others see this splendid beam? Or do they navigate in dark? If you ever want to dock your dream Well you'll need love To guide your fragile ark Love sure keeps a bright house She's a little lighthouse NOTE: I dislike sappy, schmaltzy love songs. I do however enjoy clever, witty love songs. Andy Partridge's lyrics are like brain candy to me. He's not the Messiah. He's a very naughty boy! -Brian's mum |

Hello darlin, nice to see ya,
it's been a long tiiiiiiiiiiime......... -Twitty for the win! ![]() But now I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth. ~ Umberto Eco |

RE: Favorite Song Lyrics
In mysterious ways your soul sinks down
As eerie constellations told of it before This time you cannot hide A maelstrom of inhuman fears And the only way... goes down... down... down... Gone days of phantasmagoria Welcome to the necromantic gallery Where nightmares become so real And souls are stigmatized with the sign of impurity Desolation all around Welcome to the promised land Where no single beam of light ever touched the ground Life eternal in a traumatic fade Believe me this is not a dream These dead eyes you're gazing at are yours Call it heaven, call it hell... This is where the restless dwell Misshapen silhouettes so awake Black faces and only shades of grey Distorted incantations And prayers for aeons unheard In wastelands of delusion - Dark Fortress: "Ghastly Indoctrination" Through profound pain comes profound knowledge. Ridi, Pagliaccio, sul tuo amore infranto! Ridi del duol, che t'avvelena il cor! |
