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

    Two-eyed lie, is it fight or fly?
    I wanna be the shoelace that you tie
    'Til the end, will you be my friend?
    I wanna be the mountain, kiss the sky
    Yeah, I wanna be the vapor gets you high
    Yeah, I wanna feel so happy that I cry
    Yeah, I wanna be the shoelace that you tie
    Yeah, I wanna live forever 'til I die
    Yeah, I wanna live forever 'til I die

    Big Thief - Blue Lightning

    It’s a verb! It’s a verb!
    Freedom is a verb
    Something never finished, never done
    It’s something you must make
    It’s something you must take
    It’s something you must constantly become

    Daniel Kahn and the Painted Bird - Freedom is a Verb

    I got a houseboat docked at the Himbo Dome
    And a wristwatch that’s a pocket knife and a megaphone
    And a wristwatch that tells me I’m on my own

    MJ Lenderman - Wristwatch
