[Forsaken]

I'd like to take the "What are you listening to" thread a bit farther and find out what kind of lyrics strike you most.

Mine are from Mnemic - Ghost

"Don't want this
It's true what they say
Ignorance is bliss
I'll find another way
In my mind
It's all good now
Don't do things
thats abnormal
They'll take me
and lock me away
Listen to me
when I tell you:
I'm not insane."

[Peter]

Radiohead's "Street Spirit (Fade Out)"


Rows of houses are bearing down on me
I can feel their blue hands touching me
All these things into position
all these things are one to swallow whole

And fade out again and fade out

This machine will not communicate
these thoughts and the strain I am under
Be the war child from the circle, before we all go under

And fade out again and fade out again

Cracked eggs, dead birds
scream as they fight for life
I can feel death, can see its beady eyes
All these things into position
all these things are one to swallow whole

And fade out again and fade out again

Immerse your soul in love
Immerse your soul in love

Samson by Regina Spektor



You are my sweetest downfall
I loved you first, I loved you first
Beneath the sheets of paper lies my truth
I have to go, I have to go
Your hair was long when we first met

Samson went back to bed
Not much hair left on his head
He ate a slice of wonder bread and went right back to bed
And history books forgot about us and the bible didn't mention us
And the bible didn't mention us, not even once

You are my sweetest downfall
I loved you first, I loved you first
Beneath the stars came fallin' on our heads
But they're just old light, they're just old light
Your hair was long when we first met

Samson came to my bed
Told me that my hair was red
Told me I was beautiful and came into my bed
Oh I cut his hair myself one night
A pair of dull scissors in the yellow light
And he told me that I'd done alright
and kissed me 'til the mornin' light, the mornin' light
and he kissed me 'til the mornin' light

Samson went back to bed
not much hair left on his head
Ate a slice of wonderbread and went right back to bed
Oh, we couldn't bring the columns down
Yeah we couldn't destroy a single one
And history books forgot about us
And the bible didn't mention us, not even once

You are my sweetest downfall
I loved you first

My favourite song/lyrics at the moment is "Butterflies And Hurricanes" by Muse:


change,
everything you are
and everything you were
your number has been called
fights, battles have begun
revenge will surely come
your hard times are ahead

best,
you've got to be the best
you've got to change the world
and you use this chance to be heard
your time is now

[newguy]

mine are from tool's Hooker with a penis

All you read and
Wear or see and
Hear on TV Is a product
Begging for your
Fatass dirty
Dollar So ...
Shut up and
Buy my new record
Send more money
Fuck you, buddy.

[Fantasy of You]

'defence is paper-thin, just
one touch and I'll be in, too
deep now
to ever swim
against the current.
so let me slip away.'

Dashboard Confessionals, Vindicated

[Resident Mexican]

Gimme da beep boys
and free my soul
wanna get lost in ya
rock'n'roll,
and drift away...
drift away...

[Hellbent]

South of heaven.

An unforseen future nestled somewhere in time.
Unsuspecting victims no warnings, no signs.
Judgment day the second coming arrives.
Before you see the light you must die.

Forgotten children, conform a new faith,
Avidity and lust controlled by hate.
(The) Never ending search for your shattered sanity,
Souls of Damnation in their own reality.

Chaos rampant,
An age of distrust.
Confrontations.
Impulsive habitat.

Bastard sons bagat your cunting daughters,
Promiscuous mothers with your incestuous fathers.
Engreat souls condemned for eternity,
Sustained by immoral observance a domineering deity.

Chaos rampant,
An age of distrust.
Confrontations.
Impulsive sabbath.

On and on, south of heaven [x 4]

[LEAD: KING]

The root of all evil is the heart of a black soul.
A force that has lived all eternity.
A never ending search for a truth never told.
The loss of all hope and your dignity.

Chaos rampant,
An age of distrust.
Confrontations.
Impulsive habitat.

On and on, south of heaven [x 4]

Oh em gee
Uh
I have no idea. I enjoy pop punk lyrics, very clever and catchy(good ones anyway) eg: Brand New.
I like pink floyd/prog metal lyrics. And yeah.

Brand New - Jude Law And A Semester Abroad

Whatever poison's in this bottle will leave me broken sore and stiff.
But it's the genie at the bottom who I'm sucking at. He owes me one last wish.
So here's a present to let you know I still exist.
I hope the next boy that you kiss has something terribly contagious on his lips.

But I got a plan (I got a plan)
Drink (drift) for forty days and forty nights.
A sip for every second-hand tick.
And for every time you fed me the line, "you mean so much to me...".
I'm without you.

[Chorus x2]
So tell all the English boys you meet, about the American boy back in the states.
The American boy you used to date.
Who would do anything you say.

(And even if her plane)
And even if her plane crashes tonight she'll find some way to disappoint me,
by not burning in the wreckage, or drowning at the bottom of the sea.
"Jess, I still taste you, thus reserve my right to hate you."
And all this empty space that you create does nothing for my flawless sense of style.

It's 8:45 (it's 8:45). The weather is getting better by the hour.
(Rains all the time) I hope it rains there all the time.
And if you ever said you miss me then don't say you never lied.
I'm without you.

[Chorus x2]
So tell all the English boys you meet, about the American boy back in the states.
The American boy you used to date.
Who would do anything you say.

Who would do anything you say

Never gonna get it right, you're never gonna get it [x7]

[x2 (previous singing continues in the background)]
No more songs about you
After this one, I am done
You are, you are, you're gone

[Chorus x2 (previous singing continues in the background)]
So tell all the English boys you meet, about the American boy back in the states.
The American boy you used to date.
Who would do anything you say.

[Handguns For Hearts]

So turn,
Up the corners of your lips
Part them and feel my fingertips
Trace the moment for forever
Vindicated - Dashboard Confessional

Look at the stars,
Look how they shine for you,
And everything you do.
.....
I came along,
I wrote a song for you,
And everything you do.
Yellow - Coldplay

[Frost]

One sound, one single sound
One kiss, one single kiss
A face outside the window pane
However did it come to this?

A man who ran, a child who cried
A girl who heard, a voice that lied
The sun that burned a fiery red
The vision of an empty bed

The use of force, he was so tough
She'll soon submit, she's had enough
The march of fate, the broken will
Someone is lying very still

He has laughed and he has cried
He has fought and he has died
He's just the same as all the rest
He's not the worst, he's not the best

And still this ceaseless murmuring
The babbling that i brook
The seas of faces, eyes upraised
The empty screen, the vacant look

A man in black on a snow white horse,
A pointless life has run its course,
The red rimmed eyes, the tears still run
As he fades into the setting sun

M: you're going on that plane to take you where you belong.
W: but no, i have...
M: you have got to listen to me. do you have any idea what
You have to look forward to if you stay here? nine chances out of 10 we both end up in a concentration camp and that....
W: you're only saying these things to make me go.
M: i'm saying it 'cause it's true. inside us, we both know we belong in different......
....maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but soon, and for the rest of your life.
W: but what about us?
But what about us?
But what about us?
