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."
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 For anyone interested, here's a link to the music video on YouTube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sXlGN_27Di8
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

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

Another Space Song - Failure The solar panel's shining face Is smiling back on me Twisting off into the sun It's okay to be lonely All my missions float away I never trained too hard I'm so caught up in the tree of stars Falling in my backyard She'll always be what I can't find She'll always be where I break down She'll always hide behind a star I'll always dream she can't be far I've got no Houston to whine down to I've got no protocol Gravity's so far away Wrapped on that shrinking ball I eclipsed my memories Sleeping inside this pod Patient time will carry me On her back without a sigh And I won't let her down My soul is celestial-bound And if I'm never found She'll always be She'll always be what I can't find She'll always be where I break down She'll always hide behind a star I'll always dream she can't be far
