Thought this might be some fun, so…
What are some lines from song lyrics that really hit you the right way? It could be that it’s deep and meaningful, or just something that amuses you. I’ll start:
Isn’t it funny how laughter looks like crying with no sound, and raindrops taste like tears without the pain ~ Queensryche - Another Rainy Night (Without You)
Droplets of “yes” and “no” in an ocean of “maybe” ~ Faith No More - Falling to Pieces
A smile as sweet as flowers
Wilted so and soured
Black tears stain the cheeks
That once were so admired
~ Dave Matthews Band - The Dreaming Tree
Her lovers queued up in the hallway
I heard them scratching at the door
I tried to tell her about Marx and Engels,
God and Angels…
I don’t really know what for…
But she looked good in ribbons
The Sisters Of Mercy ~ Ribbons
*Wish I could stand in the spray at the cliff of your sweet revenge
And ocean of naked serrated marble crushing in*
Last Lion of Albion by Neko Case
Is this how it is?
Is this how it’s always been?
To exist in the face of suffering and death
And somehow still keep singing?Florence + The Machine - Free
Also:
I did my best, tried to impress, my childhood dream made flesh
And my dresses and my flowering sadness, so like a woman to profit from her madness
I was only beautiful under the lights, only powerful there
Burned down at thirty-six
Why did you dig me up for this?Florence + The Machine - One of the Greats
FatM always has some stellar lines.
"And on I read, until the day was gone.
And I sat in regret of all the things I’ve done.
For all that I’ve blessed, and all that I’ve wronged.
In dreams until my death I will wander on."
Audioslave, Like A Stone.
“Democracy don’t rule the world. You better get that through your head. This world is ruled by violence, but I guess that’s better left unsaid”. Bob Dylan form his album “Infidels” and the song is called “Sundown on the Union”. The song is over 30 years old but Dylan saw it unwinding back then.
There’s a tool for everything A sawzall can set you free
There’s copper in the hills, you ain’t gotta mine it. Just a pickup truck in the dead of night. Birds of a feather, they’ll flock and cry but the metal man don’t care which way you fly.
-sawzall v surveillance, Nathan evans fox
Amiaryllis’ Watashi Wa Ame cover
I suffer in this shallow puddle, while others drown among their turbulent seas
and
But, still i wish that i could suffer the pain of everyone so i’d understand
“the dreams in which I’m dying are the best I’ve ever had” - Bad Word (Tears for Fears)
“Well, Americans don’t care for much of anything
Land and water the least
And animal life is low on the totem pole
With human life not worth more than infected yeast,”“Americans don’t care too much for beauty
They’ll shit in a river, dump battery acid in a stream
They’ll watch dead rats wash up on the beach Complain if they can’t swim” - Last Great American Whale (Lou Reed)the entire songs is magnificent
On y a mis la tête contre une brique Que même la brique, elle a eu mal
Which can be translated to
We smashed his head against a brick So hard even the brick got hurt
(From Renaud, Deuxième Génération)
Love, love is a verb
Love is a doing word
Feathers on my breath
Gentle impulsion
Shakes me makes me lighter
Feathers on my breath
Teardrop on the fire
Feathers on my breath - Massive Attack - TeardropWanna be loved
Not for who you think I am
Nor what you want me to be
Could you love me for me?
Real love, with no strings attached
I wanna give you me heart
Don’t want to take it back
And this is my chat (cho!) - Buju Banton - Wanna Be LovedKill him. Fucking kill him. Kill him already kill him. Kill him already. Kill him already. Kill him. JUST FUCKING KILL HIM. FUCKING KILL HIM.
Shellac - Prayer to god
I sing this almost daily when I read the news.
so practically this whole song (sorta half and really half of a half. its complicated) from jethro tull just becomes more and more relevant every year as the dystopia increases:
There’s the stillness of death on a deathly unliving sea
And the motor car magical world long since ceased to be
When the Eve-bitten apple returned to destroy the treeIncestuous ancestry’s charabanc ride
Spawning new millions throws the world on its side
Supporting their far-flung illusion, the national curse
And those with no sandwiches please get off the busThe excrement bubbles
The century’s slime decays
And the brainwashing government lackeys
Would have us say
It’s under control and we’ll soon be on our way
To a grand year for babies and quiz panel games
Of the hot hungry millions you’ll be sure to remainThe natural resources are dwindling and no one grows old
And those with no homes to go to, please dig yourself holesDave the dope fiend shootin’ dope Who don’t know the meaning of water nor soap
Insanity laughs under pressure we’re breaking
Queen - Under Pressure
A gift shop at the gun range, a mass shooting at the mall
Bo Burnham - That Funny Feeling
(Honestly every line in that song is golden)
Not another motherfucking politician, doing nothing but something for his own ambition… The Power of Equality - The Red Hot Chili Peppers
That entire album is badass.
Shit boomer’s music
Yeah bud. Your generation will never know talent like that. So, go sulk somewhere quietly or tell it you your prompt.
