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
My time is a piece of wax Falling on a termite Who’s choking on the splinters
~Beck, “Loser”
Freedom’s just another word for nothing left to lose.
~Kris Kristofferson, Me and Bobby McGee
The people who love me still ask me, “When are you coming back to town?” I answer, “Quite frankly, when they stop building roads, And all God needs is gravity to hold me down.”
~Alison Kraus, “Gravity”
Four hundred years later, I learned about my roots, And how they traded in their white sheets for badges and blue suits
~Onyx, “Getto Mentalitee”
Is your mother worried? Would you like us to assign someone to worry your mother?
~Chaise Longue by Wet Leg
You want me to love you in moderation Do I look moderate to you?
~Florence + The Machine, “Moderation”
And the salt in my wounds Isn’t burning anymore than it used to. It’s not that I don’t feel the pain It’s just I’m not afraid of hurting anymore.
~Paramore, “Last Hope”
the shit hasn’t even begun to hit the fan.
~Incubus, from “Consequence”
I have a tendency to wear my mind on my sleeve. I have a history of losing my shirt.
~“One Week” by the Barenaked Ladies
One Week has been permanently tied to its usage in Smooth by Neil Cicierega for me
This one really does make you think, doesn’t it? “Me and Bobby McGee” is a song I listen to for the tune for the most part, but listening to the lyrics is a bit of a different experience.
Worn all great lines. Meaningful as fuck too!
