What are you favorite lyrics of all time?

Question

Be they happy, sad, emo, funny...What are your most treasured lyrics in the world of musical poetry?

Answer 1

To the Bone - The Kinks


In dreams she's smiling in slow motion
devouring all of my emotion
Angels singing rock 'n roll
While demons take away my soul

Voices of her, images fade
and everytime that record plays
She rocks me to the bone.

Answer 2

Well, I know teenies love Good Charlotte, but the song 'Hold On' has just a awesome message and means alot to me

Our Lady Of Sorrows- "Our How Wrong We Were To Think, That Immortality Meant Never Dying." -My Chemical Romance

Landslide(Dixie Chicks or FleetwoodMac)- The lyrics are just beautiful.

Reinventing Your Exit -UnderOath- I love those lyrics.

Face Down-The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus- "Do you feel like a man when you push around?" They're saying you're not man because your hitting this woman.

I love all the lyrics My Chemical Romance write because they're so meaningful, and true. They give you the feeling that it's alright to be pissed off and I love that.

I have tons more.

But yeah, music owns my soul.

Answer 3

Garden Grove- By: Sublime


We took this trip to garden grove
It smelled like lou-dog inside the van, oh yeah
This aint no funky reggae party, $5 at the door
It gets so real sometimes, who wrote my rhyme
I got the microwave, got the vcr
I got the deuce-deuce in the trunk of my car, oh yeah
If you only knew all the love that I found
Its hard to keep my soul on the ground
Youre a fool, dont **** around with my dog
All that I can see I steal, I fill up my garage
Cause in my mind
Music from jamaica, all the love that I found
Pull over theres a reason why my souls unsound
Its you
Its that **** stuck under my shoe
Its that smell inside the van
Its my bed sheet covered with sand
Sitting through a shitty band
Getting dog **** on my hands
Getting hassled by the man
Waking up to an alarm
Sticking needles in your arm
Picking up trash on a freeway
Feeling depressed everyday
Leaving without making a sound
Picking my dog at the pound
Living in a tweeker pad
Getting yelled at by my dad
Saying Im happy when Im not
Finding roaches in the pot
All these things I do
Theyre waiting for you.

Answer 4

True Believers - Bouncing Souls

I've met some people along the way,
Some of them split some of them stay,
Some of them walk some walk on by,
I've got a few friends I'll love till I die
From all of these people I try to learn,
Some of them shine some of them burn,
Some of them rise some of them fall,
For good or bad I've known them all

We live our life in our own way,
Never really listened to what they say,
The kind of faith that doesn't fade away
We are the true believers
We are the true believers

Well you can fight or you can run,
Hide under a rock till the war is won,
Play it safe and don't make a sound,
But not us we won't back down
True believers all the way,
You and I...

We live our life in our own way,
Never really listened to what they say,
The kind of faith that doesn't fade away
We are the true believers
We are the true believers
True believers

Answer 5

Time (by Pink Floyd)

Taking away the moments that make up a dull day,
Fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way.
Kicking around on a peice of ground in your hometown,
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way

Tired of lying in the sunshine,
Staying home to watch the rain.
But you are young and life is long,
There is time to kill today.

And then one day you find
Ten years have got behind you.
No one told you when to run,
You missed the starting gun

(favorite guitar solo of all time)

And you run and you run to catch up with the sun
But its sinking,
Racing around, to come up behind you again.
The sun is the same in a relative way but you're older,
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death.

Every year is getting shorter,
Never seem to find the time.
Plans that either come to naught
Or half a page of scribbled lines.

Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way.
The time is gone.
The song is over.
Thought I'd something more to say.

Home, home again.
I like to be here when I can.
And when I come home cold and tired,
Its good to warm my bones beside the fire.

Far away, across the fields
The tolling of the iron bell
Calls the faithful to their knees
To here the softly spoken magic spell.

Answer 6

Goodbye for now by a Change of Pace. It's just so heart felt and i know alot of people that can totally relate to this song.
And when the smoke clears nothings left
Black ashes still fall from the sky
I see a figure standing far away
Of a shadow on the ground, but I don't know why

I've lost all hope in you
I want out of this place called home tonight
So goodbye for now
I'm never coming back no, not tonight

And life is so dark with your eyes always closed
you'll never see a thing
I never wanted any of this, no not at all
But it will be okay

I've lost all hope in you
I want out of this place called home tonight
So goodbye for now
I'm never coming back no, not tonight

Bittersweet every touch, still burning in my memory
Can't turn back the hands of time,
Can't make believe that your still mine
'Cause your so far away

Goodbye for now...

I've lost all hope in you
I want out of this place called home tonight
So goodbye for now
I'm never coming back no, not tonight

All eyes off me
No more pathetic memories


I also like Graduation Day by head AUtomatica because i totally wish that that would happen because the world would just be such a better place.

smudged funnies in a broken bottle on the dot at nine
Daddy throws clothes, throws on an old stove
I'm cryin in the corner at 5
Well I've seen black and I've seen blue but fine line's I don't see
And just because I am in misery
Don't it mean a thing that I want to know
That I wanna know...

(Chorus)
Graduation Day
Graduation Day
We take back everything we said about you

September
As far as she remembers they don't teach humility
And just because her only signal is mayday
Don't it mean a thing
That she's seen love and she's seen war but fairness she can't see
And just because she's in misery
Don't it mean a thing that she wants to know
That she wants to know...

(Chorus)

Graduation Day
Graduation Day
We take back everything we said about you

The camaraderie's old
Doing what I'm told
And everybody knows this is getting out of hand
Everybody is dying for
The chance to be heard not ignored
And everybody knows this is getting out of hand

(Chorus)

Graduation Day
Graduation Day
We take back everything we said about you

I'm not going to school

Answer 10

SMILE
by:Tamia

Sometimes I sit at home and wonder how it'd be
If he had loved me
Truly loved me yes
I learned a while ago that kind of thing
Never happens for me
And so I go around
And just pretend
Love is not for me
I play the circus clown around my friends
Make them laugh and they won't see
That you never let them see you sweat
Don’t want them to think the pain runs deep
Lord knows it's killing me

So I put on my make-up
Put a smile on my face
And if anyone asks me
Everything is okay
I’m laughing cause no one
Knows the joke is on me
Cause I’m dying inside
With my pride and a smile
On my face
On my face
Singing la la la la

Sometimes I sit at home
By the phone hoping he might call me
But he don't call me
But then I realize
Dreams come true aren't for girls like me
Not like me
And so I go around with my head up
Like it ain't no thing
And when the boys around with all my friends
I’m into other things
Because you never let them see you sweat
Don’t want them to think the pain runs deep
Lord knows it's killing me

So I put on my make-up
Put a smile on my face
And if anyone asks me
Everything is okay
I’m laughing cause no one
Knows the joke is on me
Cause I’m dying inside
With my pride and a smile
On my face
On my face

It’s not an easy (thing)
Sometimes it’s hard to (face the truth)
It’s not the life that I would choose (that I would choose)
But what else can I do?
If he don’t love me
If he don’t want me
I’m not about to sit around
Let myself go

So I put on my make-up
Put a smile on my face
And if anyone asks me
Everything is okay
I’m laughing cause no one
Knows the joke is on me
Cause I’m dying inside
With my pride and a smile
On my face
On my face

Singing la la la la
