Favourite Song Lyrics

[Adicolorz]

Dunno why but song lyrics are very important to me in a song, i am passionate about finding clever, smooth lyrics and wanted to know if anyone else feels the same about lyrics and wanted to post thier favourites. No avioding the censor but just put the first letter of the word, i know swearing isnt "right" but who says it cant be used cleaverly.

 

 

 

Some of my favourites are:

 

 

 

Dr. Dre - still dre

 

 

 

Ni__as try to be the king but the ace is back

 

 

 

^ best lyric ever? :ohnoes:

 

 

 

Kayne West - forget but its last track on college dropout

 

 

 

I went to the malls and i balled to hard

 

oh my god is that a black card?

 

i turned around and replied why yes

 

but i prefer the term african american express.

 

 

 

Dizzee Rascal - Westwood freestyle

 

 

 

i used to be a shotter

 

sell a little weed

 

but im mainly a jacker

 

take what i need

 

 

 

^^ in a freestyle!

 

 

 

Bob Marley - roots rock reggea

 

 

 

Feel like dancin'

 

Dance cause we are free

 

 

 

50 Cent - many men

 

 

 

The feds didn't know much, when Pac got shot

 

I got a kite from the pens that told me, Tuck got knocked

 

I ain't gonna spell it out for you motherf__s all the time

 

Are you illiterate ni_a? You can't read between the lines

 

 

 

^ hes a rubbish artist but those bars own

 

 

 

Guru - livesaver

 

 

 

Scooby doo wah scooby doo wee

 

Like a jazz player I improvise wisely

 

Free with the style, I flow like the Nile

 

but remember, don't mistake the smile

 

Deep rooted is my rhymin

 

Like ancient African griots, precise is my timing

 

But let me get to the essence of what I'm sayin here

 

Too many blood red streets with bodies layin there

 

The systematic fanatics are at it again

 

Tryin to kill me and all of us my friend

 

But don't bend to the mental strain

 

Against all odds, we must strive for essential gains

 

Be true to the life the Lord gave ya

 

And that's a message from the lifesaver

 

 

 

^ that song is so chilled - deffo must listen to track.

 

 

 

Fort Minor - Where'd you go

 

 

 

Where'd you go?

 

I miss you so,

 

Seems like it's been forever,

 

That you've been gone.

 

 

 

She said "Some days I feel like [cabbage],

 

Some days I wanna quit, and just be normal for a bit,"

 

I don't understand why you have to always be gone,

 

I get along but the trips always feel so long,

 

And, I find myself trying to stay by the phone,

 

'Cause your voice always helps me to not feel so alone,

 

But I feel like an idiot, workin' my day around the call,

 

But when I pick up I don't have much to say,

 

So, I want you to know it's a little [bleep]ed up,

 

That I'm stuck here waitin', at times debatin',

 

Tellin' you that I've had it with you and your career,

 

Me and the rest of the family here singing "Where'd you go?"

 

 

 

I miss you so,

 

Seems like it's been forever,

 

That you've been gone.

 

Where'd you go?

 

I miss you so,

 

Seems like it's been forever,

 

That you've been gone,

 

Please come back home...

 

 

 

You know the place where you used to live,

 

Used to barbecue up burgers and ribs,

 

Used to have a little party every Halloween with candy by the pile,

 

But now, you only stop by every once and a while,

 

[cabbage], I find myself just fillin' my time,

 

With anything to keep the thought of you from my mind,

 

I'm doin' fine, I plan to keep it that way,

 

You can call me if you find that you have something to say,

 

And I'll tell you, I want you to know it's a little [bleep]ed up,

 

That I'm stuck here waitin', at times debatin',

 

Tellin' you that I've had it with you and your career,

 

Me and the rest of the family here singing "Where'd you go?"

 

 

 

I miss you so,

 

Seems like it's been forever,

 

That you've been gone.

 

Where'd you go?

 

I miss you so,

 

Seems like it's been forever,

 

That you've been gone,

 

Please come back home...

 

 

 

I want you to know it's a little [bleep]ed up,

 

That I'm stuck here waitin', no longer debatin',

 

Tired of sittin' and hatin' and makin' these excuses,

 

For why you're not around, and feeling so useless,

 

It seems one thing has been true all along,

 

You don't really know what you've got 'til it's gone,

 

I guess I've had it with you and your career,

 

When you come back I won't be here and you can sing it...

 

 

 

Where'd you go?

 

I miss you so,

 

Seems like it's been forever,

 

That you've been gone.

 

Where'd you go?

 

I miss you so,

 

Seems like it's been forever,

 

That you've been gone,

 

Please come back home...

 

Please come back home...

 

Please come back home...

 

Please come back home...

 

Please come back home...

 

 

 

^ that song is so touching and chilled, its 2 of the members of linken park and the beat is quite similar but its rap based and more chilled out.

 

 

 

i will think of more but my mind is blank

 

 

 

post yours up, happy to explain any lyrics to peeps that dont understand them

 

 

 

Edit: whoaa TIF'ers like their rock, maybe i can take some notes?

[runescapeloser22]

You didn't post the song names? This belongs in the Music forum too.

[Jaziek]

I'll be completely impersonal about this post and only mention the fact that this goes in the M&M section, and theres already a thread exactly like it. use the search button.

If you're looking for clever and insightful lyrics then rap isn't the place to find them.

Lets not get into this [cabbage] again. Every genre is capable of meaningful lyrics (even if you your self can't relate to them) you just have to look past what's popular.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Anyways, favorite lyrics.. difficult. Here's some I enjoy:

 

 

 

 

 

Agalloch- She painted the fire across the skyline

 

Oh dismal mourning...

 

I open my weary eyes once again

 

My life has been left hollow and ashes have filled the gorge of my within

 

Last night I hoped and wished I'd die in my sleep but no catharsis was granted to

 

me

 

Will this pain ever pass?

 

The enchanting perfume of winter and the bleak, cold breath of her still haunts

 

me...

 

Oportet ubique pulchritudinem evanescere

 

So half of me rode to the mountains and the other half soared high in the winds

 

to a place where the angels had fallen, the soil gagged and choked on their wings

 

My soul was the pale skyline that she stretched across the horizon

 

Two years had brought the fire that she paints upon my loathsome canvas

 

She is the dark one...

 

As a bird I watched her from my cold tower in the heavens

 

and when she fell from the northplace, I flew down and embraced her

 

I took her where the snow falls forever, she showed me the haunted woods

 

We gathered together in the oaken palace, free from both death and life

 

The fire blazed in her eyes one day and she tore the soul from my chest

 

With a bleeding heart, I flew back to my cold tower

 

to never escape and lie in a pool of death forever

 

I saw the nightfall...

 

It called to me like a river of shadows

 

It sang to me with the cries of a thousand ravens that blackened the sky as they

 

took flight

 

and sank the Sol

 

I shall never trust the sun again, Eridanis Nadir

 

I ran away far into the woods

 

To find the Sol, I called to her...

 

I don't want to be forgotten...I never wanted to be human

 

NEVER!!!!!

 

So alas the sun had descended, her fire burned brilliant in the sky

 

The trees bore their withered silhouettes, that cast a spell upon unearthly white

 

No wolf shall keep his secrets, no bird shall dance the skyline

 

And I am left with nothing but an oath that gleams like a sword

 

To bathe in the blood of man

 

Mankind...

 

 

 

 

 

Dream Theater- A change of Seasons

 

I. The Crimson Sunrise

 

(Instrumental)

 

 

 

II. Innocence

 

I remember a time

 

My frail, virgin mind

 

watched the crimson sunrise

 

Imagined what it might find

 

Life was filled with wonder

 

I felt the warm wind blow

 

I must explore the boundaries

 

Transcend the depth of winter's snow

 

Innocence caressing me

 

I never felt so young before

 

There was so much life in me

 

Still I longed to search for more

 

But those days are gone now

 

Changed like a leaf on a tree

 

Blown away forever

 

into the cool autumn breeze

 

The snow has now fallen

 

and my sun's not so bright

 

I struggle to hold on

 

with the last of my might

 

In my den of inequity

 

viciousness and subtlety

 

struggle to ease the pain

 

struggle to find the sane

 

Ignorance surrounding me

 

I've never been so filled with fear

 

All my life's been drained from me

 

The end is drawing near....

 

 

 

III. Carpe Diem

 

'Carpe diem, seize the day'

 

I'll always remember

 

The chill of November

 

The news of the fall

 

The sounds in the hall

 

The clock on the wall ticking away

 

'Seize the Day'

 

I heard him say

 

Life will not always be this way

 

Look around

 

Hear the sounds

 

Cherish your life while you're still around

 

 

 

"Gather ye rosebuds while ye may,

 

Old Time is still a-flying;

 

And this same flower that smiles today,

 

Tomorrow will be dying."

 

 

 

We can learn from the past

 

But those days are gone

 

We can hope for the future

 

But there may not be one

 

The words stuck in my mind

 

alive from what I've learned

 

I have to seize the day

 

To home I returned

 

Preparing for her flight

 

I held with all my might

 

Fearing my deepest fright

 

She walked into the night

 

She turned for one last look

 

She looked me in the eye

 

I said, 'I Love You...Good-bye'

 

 

 

"It's the most awful thing you'll

 

ever hear."

 

"If you're lying to me..."

 

"Oh, you dearly love her."

 

"...just have to leave... all our lives."

 

"Seize the day!"

 

"Something happened.

 

"Gather ye rosebuds while ye may."

 

"She was killed."

 

 

 

IV. The Darkest of Winters

 

(Instrumental)

 

 

 

V. Another World

 

So far or so it seems

 

All is lost with nothing fulfilled

 

Off the pages and a T.V. screen

 

Another world where nothing's true

 

Tripping through the life fantastic

 

Lose a step and never get up

 

Left alone with a cold blank stare

 

I feel like giving up

 

I was blinded by a paradise

 

Utopia high in the sky

 

A dream that only drowned me

 

Deep in sorrow, wondering why

 

Oh come let us adore him

 

Abuse and then ignore him

 

No matter what, don't let him be

 

Let's feed upon his misery

 

Then string him up for all the world to see

 

I'm sick of all you hypocrites

 

holding me at bay

 

And I don't need your sympathy

 

to get me through the day

 

Seasons change and so can I

 

Hold on Boy, No time to cry

 

Untie these strings, I'm climbing down

 

I won't let them push me away

 

Oh come let us adore him

 

Abuse and then ignore him

 

No matter what, don't let him be

 

Let's feed upon his misery

 

Now it's time for those to deal with me

 

 

 

VI. The Inevitable Summer

 

(Instrumental)

 

 

 

VII. The Crimson Sunset

 

I'm much wiser now

 

A lifetime of memories

 

run through my head

 

They taught me how

 

for better or worse, alive or dead

 

I realize there's no turning back

 

Life goes on the offbeaten track

 

I sit down with my son

 

Set to see the Crimson Sunset

 

(Gather ye rosebuds while ye may)

 

Many years have come and gone

 

I've lived my life, but now must move on

 

(Gather ye rosebuds while ye may)

 

He is my only one

 

Now that my time has come

 

Now that my life is done

 

We look into the sun

 

'Seize the day and don't you cry,

 

Now it's time to say good-bye

 

Even though I'll be gone,

 

I will live on, live on.'

 

 

 

 

 

Normally Dream Theater's weakness is they just don't have any emotion... or feelings behind their work and lyrics. A Change of Seasons completly goes above that, its easily one of their best songs ever written. Just listen to it, the first time you hear it (hell, even the 50th) it'll give you chills. Simply amazing and one of my favorite songs.

 

 

 

 

 

Aarni- Squaring the Circle

 

The first matter,

 

The salt of salts,

 

Celestial water dissolves

 

The subtlest fluid sustains

 

The burning of sulphur.

 

 

 

Squaring the circle,

 

Spirit and matter

 

 

 

Driving the triumphal charlot,

 

Scattering treasures for the world

 

Blackening to become whitened,

 

Transmutation accomplished.

 

 

 

Squaring the circle,

 

Zero equals two

 

 

 

Aliquem alium intermum, quadratura circuli

 

The blood of the lion, the eagle's tears,

 

Result in the stone of millions of years.

 

 

 

Squaring the circle, solve et coagula

 

 

 

Omne superius sicut inferius

 

 

 

Something a bit different. I love Aarni's style. :P

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thats all for now. Lets try and keep this on topic guys, haven't had one of these threads in a while. :P

Time - Pink Floyd

 

 

 

 

 

Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day

 

You fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way

 

Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town

 

Waiting for someone or something to show you the way

 

 

 

Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain

 

You are young and life is long and 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

 

 

 

And you run and you run to catch up with the sun,

 

but it's sinking

 

And 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 has gone, the song is over,

 

thought I'd something more to say

 

 

 

Home, home again

 

I like to be here when I can

 

When I come home cold and tired

 

It's good to warm my bones beside the fire

 

Far away across the field

 

The tolling of the iron bell

 

Calls the faithful to their knees

 

To hear the softly spoken magic spells.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Mmmm...

[Nadril]

Pink Floyd - Goodbye Blue Sky

 

[ look, mummy. theres an airplane up in the sky. ]

 

 

 

Did you, did you see the frightened ones?

 

Did you, did you hear the falling bombs?

 

Did you ever wonder why we had to run for shelter,

 

When the promise of a brave new world,

 

Unfurled beneath a clear blue sky?

 

 

 

Did you, did you see the frightened ones?

 

Did you, did you hear the falling bombs?

 

The flames are all long gone,

 

But the pain lingers on.

 

Goodbye, blue sky.

 

Goodbye, blue sky.

 

Goodbye.

 

Goodbye.

[rushrock]

Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd

 

 

 

So, so you think you can tell Heaven from Hell,

 

blue skies from pain.

 

Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail?

 

A smile from a veil?

 

Do you think you can tell?

 

And did they get you to trade your heroes for ghosts?

 

Hot ashes for trees?

 

Hot air for a cool breeze?

 

Cold comfort for change?

 

And did you exchange a walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage?

 

How I wish, how I wish you were here.

 

We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after year,

 

Running over the same old ground.

 

What have you found? The same old fears.

 

Wish you were here.

 

 

 

Goodbye Blue Sky is a creepy song. Creepy, but meaningful. :|

[Nadril]

Goodbye Blue Sky is a creepy song. Creepy, but meaningful.

 

 

 

Yeah it is, I love it. :P

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Rolling us off this pink floyd train:

 

 

 

 

 

Mayhem- Pure ****ing Armageddon

 

Violent torture,

 

Death has arrived,

 

Armageddon,

 

Terror and fright,

 

Bleeding corpses,

 

Rotting decay

 

 

 

Anarchy,

 

Violent torture,

 

Antichrist,

 

Lucifer,

 

Son of satan

 

Pure [bleep]ing Armageddon

 

 

 

Pure [bleep]ing Armageddon!

 

 

 

 

 

Straight and to the point pretty much. :lol:

^ LOL @ lyrics and song title :lol:

 

 

 

[StrOwez]

Metallica - One

 

 

 

I cant remember anything

Cant tell if this is true or dream

Deep down inside I feel to scream

This terrible silence stops me



Now that the war is through with me

Im waking up I can not see

That there is not much left of me

Nothing is real but pain now



Hold my breath as I wish for death

Oh please god,wake me



Back in the womb its much too real

In pumps life that I must feel

But cant look forward to reveal

Look to the time when Ill live



Fed through the tube that sticks in me

Just like a wartime novelty

Tied to machines that make me be

Cut this life off from me



Hold my breath as I wish for death

Oh please god,wake me

Now the world is gone Im just one

Oh god,help me hold my breath as I wish for death

Oh please God help me



Darkness imprisoning me

All that I see

Absolute horror

I cannot live

I cannot die

Trapped in myself

Body my holding cell



Landmine has taken my sight

Taken my speech

Taken my hearing

Taken my arms

Taken my legs

Taken my soul

Left me with life in hell

 

 

 

U2- Sometimes you can't make it on your own.

 

 

 

The lyric was written by lead singer Bono as a tribute to his father, Bob Hewson, who died in 2001; Bono sang this at his funeral. The video to the song begins with a note from Bono about his father, saying "I wish I'd known him better."

 

 

 

Tough, you think you've got the stuff

You're telling me and anyone

You're hard enough



You don't have to put up a fight

You don't have to always be right

Let me take some of the punches

For you tonight



Listen to me now

I need to let you know

You don't have to go it alone



And it's you when I look in the mirror

And it's you when I don't pick up the phone

Sometimes you can't make it on your own



We fight all the time

You and I...that's alright

We're the same soul

I don't need...I don't need to hear you say

That if we weren't so alike

You'd like me a whole lot more



Listen to me now

I need to let you know

You don't have to go it alone



And it's you when I look in the mirror

And it's you when I don't pick up the phone

Sometimes you can't make it on your own



I know that we don't talk

I'm sick of it all

Can - you - hear - me - when - I -

Sing, you're the reason I sing

You're the reason why the opera is in me...



Where are we now?

I've got to let you know

A house still doesn't make a home

Don't leave me here alone...



And it's you when I look in the mirror

And it's you that makes it hard to let go

Sometimes you can't make it on your own

Sometimes you can't make it

The best you can do is to fake it

Sometimes you can't make it on your own 

[How2PK]

Me mentioning Cave is a bit of a bore now, but the lyrics to this song are fantastic. I don't really have favorites.

 

 

 

Don't reed if you believe in things as 'bad words'.

 

 

 

[hide]Well, I lived with one

 

Well, I lived with one, I lived with two,

 

I even lived with a third

 

I wanna tell you about number one

 

He was a miserable sh*twringing turd

 

Like he reminded me of some evil gnome

 

Shakin hands was like shakin a hot, fat, oily bone

 

Holdin on for far too long

 

Yes he took me in, he took me in

 

He said that I looked pale and thin

 

I told him he looked fat

 

His lips were red and lickin wet

 

His house was roastin hot

 

In fact it was a f*ckin slum

 

Scum! Scum!

 

Well then he hooked up with some sl*t from the same game

 

Black snow! Black snow!

 

C*cksuckstress, and I should know

 

Mean and vicious, her microphone always smelled suspicious

 

His and herpes bath towel type

 

If you know what I mean

 

I could not look at him, worm

 

He'd be takin a shower and who should walk in

 

He was the epitome of their type

 

Her middle name was Welcome, his was Wipe

 

Scum! Scum!

 

Well you're on the sh*t list

 

Thrust and twist, twist and screw

 

You gave me a bad review

 

And maybe you think that it's all just water under the bridge

 

Well my UNfriend, I'm the type that holds a grudge

 

I'm your creator

 

I think you f*ckin traitor, chronic masturbator,

 

Sh*tlicker, user, self-abuser, jigger jigger!

 

What rock did you crawl from?

 

Which ..... did you come?

 

You Judas, Brutus, Vitus, Scum!

 

Hey four-eyes, come

 

That's right, it's a gun

 

Face is bubble, blood, and ...... street

 

Snowman with six holes clean into his fat f*ckin guts

 

Psychotic drama mounts

 

Guts well deep then a spring is fount

 

I unload into his eyes

 

Blood springs

 

Dead snow

 

Blue skies[/hide]

 

 

 

Too cool.

[assassin_696]

Lover, You Should've Come Over - Jeff Buckley

 

 

 

Looking out the door

 

I see the rain fall upon the funeral mourners

 

Parading in a wake of sad relations

 

As their shoes fill up with water

 

 

 

Maybe I'm too young

 

To keep good love from going wrong

 

But tonight, you're on my mind so

 

You never know

 

 

 

Broken down and hungry for your love

 

With no way to feed it

 

Where are you tonight?

 

Child, you know how much I need it.

 

Too young to hold on

 

And too old to just break free and run

 

 

 

Sometimes a man gets carried away,

 

When he feels like he should be having his fun

 

Much too blind to see the damage he's done

 

Sometimes a man must awake to find that, really,

 

He has no-one...

 

 

 

So I'll wait for you... And I'll burn

 

Will I ever see your sweet return?

 

Oh, will I ever learn?

 

Oh, Lover, you should've come over

 

Cause it's not too late.

 

 

 

Lonely is the room the bed is made

 

The open window lets the rain in

 

Burning in the corner is the only one

 

Who dreams he had you with him

 

My body turns and yearns for a sleep

 

That won't ever come

 

It's never over,

 

My kingdom for a kiss upon her shoulder

 

It's never over,

 

all my riches for her smiles when I slept so soft against her...

 

It's never over,

 

All my blood for the sweetness of her laughter...

 

It's never over,

 

She's a tear that hangs inside my soul forever...

 

 

 

But maybe I'm just too young to keep good love

 

From going wrong

 

Oh... lover you should've come over...

 

 

 

Yes, and I feel too young to hold on

 

I'm much too old to break free and run

 

Too deaf, dumb, and blind

 

To see the damage I've done

 

Sweet lover, you should've come over

 

Oh, love, well I'll wait for you

 

Lover, you should've come over

 

'Cause it's not too late.

 

 

 

 

Coming Back To Life - Pink Floyd

 

 

 

Where were you when I was burned and broken

 

While the days slipped by from my window watching

 

Where were you when I was hurt and helpless

 

Because the things you say and the things you do surround me

 

While you were hanging yourself on someone else's words

 

Dying to believe in what you heard

 

I was staring straight into the shining sun

 

 

 

Lost in thought and lost in time

 

While the seeds of lifeand the seeds of change were planted

 

Outside the rain fell dark and slow

 

While I pondered on this dangerous but irresistible pastime

 

I took a heavenly ride through our silence

 

I knew the moment had arrived

 

For killing the past and coming back to life

 

 

 

I took a heavenly ride through our silence

 

I knew the waiting had begun

 

And headed straight..into the shining sun

Machine Head - Aesthetics of Hate

 

Dedicated to Dimebag.

 

 

 

You tried to spit in the eye

 

Of a dead manÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s face

 

Attacked the ways of a man

 

Not yet in his grave

 

But your hate was over all too soon

 

Because nothing is over

 

And nothingÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s through,

 

Till we bury you

 

 

 

[Chorus]

 

For the love of brother

 

I will sing this [bleep]ing song

 

Aesthetics of hate,

 

I hope you burn in hell

 

 

 

The words I read on the screen

 

Left me [bleep]ing sick

 

I felt the hatred rising

 

You son of a [bleep]

 

You branded us pathetic for our respect

 

But he made us Driven,

 

Such deep reverence,

 

Far beyond the rest

 

 

 

[Chorus]

 

 

 

Yer!

 

 

 

[solo]

 

 

 

Wow!

 

Long live memories

 

Live this freedom vicariously

 

Defend tenfold

 

His honor weÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢ll always uphold

 

 

 

For the love of brother

 

I will say these [bleep]ing words

 

No silence against ignorance

 

Iconoclast, I hope you burn in hell

 

 

 

May the hand of god strike them down

[pryomancer]

I've seen your flag on the marble arch, and love is not a victory march

 

 

 

Jeff Buckley's version, just makes me stop whatever I'm doing and listen to it, gives me chills every time.

Dj Coone- Words of the gang

 

 

 

 

 

I remember the day when I first heard electronic music

 

I knew back then that the illegal computer sound was gonna be my call

 

My heart got hooked on 4 by 4 beats

 

When house took his journey with Jack Chicago and acid house

 

Now my heart is hooked forever

 

It's in my soul, in my veins

 

On my mind 24/7

 

I don't care if it's french-tek, hardstyle, hardcore, oldschool or jump

 

I don't understand people who are satisfied with ordinary pop music

 

They just listen to whatever radio station decide they should like

 

Followed by an overkill of ringtone commercials meant for kids

 

And my god, they like it!

 

Some people even think that house clubs are for weirdos only!

 

Maybe they're right, maybe we are weird

 

Maybe this music is weird and maybe the clubs are overrated

 

But we're in this together, we're in this for the love of beats,

 

for the love of loops

 

If you're in the scene, being a DJ seems like a natural path to follow.

 

Ha, back in the days DJ's were weird people who liked music in a weird way

 

Back then you had to be a nerd to become a DJ,

 

Now a days everybody wants to be a DJ,

 

Now a days everybody wants to be that nerd,

 

It sickens me, I hate those smartasses who think that being a DJ is an easy way to get laid.

 

Well .. Get a life!

 

If you're not in it for the love of the music, would you please [bleep] off!

Thats the second time i post this lyrics this week but...wth

 

The most beautiful love song ever written (with/without the story behind this album)

 

 

 

 

 

Robert Wyatt - Sea Song

 

 

 

You look different every time you come

 

From the foam-crested brine

 

Your skin shining softly in the moonlight

 

Partly fish, partly porpoise, partly baby sperm whale

 

Am I yours? Are you mine to play with?

 

 

 

Joking apart - when you're drunk you're terrific when you're drunk

 

I like you mostly late at night, you're quite alright

 

But I can't understand the different you in the morning

 

When it's time to play at being human for a while please smile!

 

 

 

You'll be different in the spring, I know

 

You're a seasonal beast like the starfish that drift in with the tide

 

So until your your blood runs to meet the next full moon

 

You're madness fits in nicely with my own

 

Your lunacy fits neatly with my own, my very own

 

We're not alone

[snarlin]

darkest hour // the mark of the judas

 

 

 

Never give what you can't take back

 

The true mark of the Judas

 

Never forget

 

The true mark of the Judas

 

 

 

darkest hour // sadist nation

 

 

 

One nation under the gun

 

Where forward thinking is shunned

 

A morbid tradition

 

Of archaic value systems

 

Where violence justified

 

Is just another pride

 

Under the surface lies

 

A holy plastic empire

 

With guarded golden fences

 

Where misfortune

 

Shelters decisions

 

A pain wrought from blood flowing green

 

The myth of protection

 

Is a sick fascination

 

A culture of violence is what you are feeding

 

Fear is an heirloom

 

And hate is contagious

 

A nation of sadists is what you are breeding

 

It's everywhere

 

It's everywhere that you see

 

But who decides

 

If you watch or turn the other cheek

 

And only in your mind

 

Is it your given right to be armed to the teeth

 

It's a common disease

 

The only immunity is to disarm

 

This holy plastic empire disease

 

 

 

darkest hour // with a thousand words to say but one

 

 

 

been looking in from the outside lately,i've seen who I used to be and it's not me..and we can keep healing, and we can keep holding on..I just want to take you where our time won't be waste anymore, through the mountains on the water we'll stay engulfed in one another,and when I can wake up to see the sunrise in your eyes and we'll finally be free..I'll know I've made it home so lets go out west,and bask in the overcast and walking through the rain we'll see the beauty in life again.

 

 

 

darkest hour // these fevered times

 

 

 

and I'll make light of this night and night of this day

 

It's what I tell myself to sleep when I dream myself awake.

 

 

 

darkest hour // tranquil

 

 

 

I know that the worst is behind us now onward and upward we take

 

Flight on bruised and battered wings we soar above our clouded

 

Thoughts never looking back we can regain a sense of balance that's

 

Been gone so long give me a chance to reason with the odds to pick

 

Myself back up regain a balance gone so long.

 

 

 

darkest hour // doomsayer(beginning of the end)

 

 

 

you are the only one with the ability to turn this tide

 

with the capacity to learn the truth and burn the lies

 

 

 

and who can save you,

 

not their gods and not their masters

 

and who will free you,

 

look in the mirror

 

 

 

darkest hour // demon(s)

 

 

 

And one of these days we'll no longer betray ourselves

 

in any way we won't all look the same way down

 

And one of these days we'll no longer betray ourselves

 

in any way and we'll all take the same way out

 

 

 

darkest hour // fire in the sky

 

 

 

blinding brilliant light

 

alludes to the illusion of serenity

 

so show me what it takes

 

to fall asleep on the eve of destruction

 

 

 

flashing fading in and out showered in sweet redemption

 

that final glimpse into abyss on the brink of eruption

 

 

 

that is all for now,and yes..i'm a darkest hour fanboy,if you couldn't tell. :XD:

Anyway, on topic.

 

 

 

I always loved these;

 

 

 

Rise Against - Last Chance Blueprint

 

 

 

late nights and bloodshot eyes, clock ticking half past five,

 

we're barely breathing but we're still alive. GO!

 

 

 

our plans are all laid out, take all these unmarked roads,

 

we blaze the trails to places no ONE GOES, yeah!

 

 

 

one last chance to go, if I don't leave tonight I never will

 

one last chance to go, let's take it now in for the kill

 

 

 

if in time we find ourselves, back where we started from,

 

too weak to fight and much too tired to run

 

 

 

before you swallow me into your perfect life,

 

i'm not going out without a fight, yeah!

 

 

 

one last chance to go, if I don't leave tonight I never will

 

one last chance to go, let's take it now in for the kill

 

 

 

but this blueprints faded grey

 

and here it seems like just yesterday

 

when we mapped out the details of our great escape,

 

but still these roads all beckon me to uncover their mystery

 

but I fall like dead autumn leaves and let the jetstream carry me

 

 

 

one last chance to go,

 

if I don't leave tonight I never will

 

one last chance to go

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And this, I plan to get the italic verse tattood on me one day, not because i'm a fan of the band but because I don't think anyone's put how you should live your life into words so perfectly as this.

 

 

 

The Ataris - So Long, Astoria

 

 

 

It was the first snow of the season

 

i can almost see you breathin

 

in the middle of that empty street

 

 

 

Sometimes i still see myself

 

in that lonesome bedroom

 

playin my guitar

 

and singing songs of hope

 

for a better future

 

 

 

life is

 

only

 

as good as the memories we make

 

and i'm taking back what belongs to me

 

 

 

polaroids of classrooms unattended

 

these relics of remembrence

 

are just like shipwrecks

 

only theyre gone faster

 

than the smell after it rains

 

 

 

last night while everyone was sleepin

 

i tripped through my old neighborhood

 

and resurrected memories from ashes

 

 

 

we said that we would never fit in

 

we were really just like them

 

does rebellion ever make a difference?

 

 

 

life is

 

only

 

as good as the memories we make

 

and im taking back what belongs to me

 

these relics of remembrence

 

are just like shipwrecks

 

only theyre gone faster

 

than the smell after it rains

 

 

 

So long astoria

 

i found a map to buried treasure

 

and even if we come home empty handed

 

well still have our stories

 

of battle scars, pirate ships and wounded hearts,

 

broken bones, and all the best of friendships

 

 

 

and when this hourglass

 

has filtered out

 

its final grain of sand

 

i raise my glass to the memories we had

 

this is my wish

 

this is my wish

 

im takin back

 

im takin them all back

The Flag Shop is Out of Stock

 

I hang myself... via live telecast

 

 

 

Coming live from my own funeral, beautiful weather offered a nice shine

 

Which is suitable for a full view of a forever altered skyline

 

When times like these arrive I freestyle biased opinions every other sentence

 

Journalistic ethics slip when I pass them off as objective

 

"Don't give me that ethical [cabbage]."

 

I've got exclusive, explicit images to present to impressionable American kids

 

And it's time to show this world how big our edifice is!

 

 

 

That's exactly what they attacked when a typically dark skinned Disney villain

 

Used civilians against civilians and charged the Trojan horses into our buildings

 

Using commercial aviation as instruments of destruction

 

Pregnant women couldn't protect their children

 

Wheelchairs were stairway obstructions

 

Now have to back petal...from the shower of glass and metal

 

Wondering how after it settles we'll find who provided power to radical rebels

 

The Melting Pot seems to be calling the kettle black when it boils over

 

But only on our own soil so the little boy holds a toy soldier..

 

And waits for the suit and tie to come home. We won't wait 'til he's older

 

before we destroy hopes for a colder war to end

 

"Now get a close up of his head"

2. Out In The Field

 

 

 

[Gary Moore Cover]

 

 

 

It doesn't matter

 

If you're wrong or if you're right

 

It makes no difference

 

If you're black or if you're white

 

 

 

All men are equal

 

Till the victory is won

 

No colour or religion

 

Ever stopped the bullet from a gun

 

 

 

Out in the fields

 

The fighting has begun

 

Out on the streets

 

They're falling one by one

 

Out from the skies

 

A thousand more will die each day

 

Death is just a heartbeat away

 

 

 

It doesn't matter

 

If you're left or to the right

 

Don't try to hide behind the cause

 

They want to fight

 

 

 

There'll be no prisoners taken

 

When the day is done

 

No flag, no uniform

 

Ever stopped the bullet from a gun

 

 

 

Out in the fields

 

The fighting has begun

 

Out on the streets

 

They're falling one by one

 

Out from the skies

 

A thousand more will die each day

 

Death is just a heartbeat away

 

 

 

There's no communication

 

No one to take the blame

 

The cries of every nation

 

They're falling on deaf ears again

 

 

 

Out in the fields

 

Out in the fields

 

They're falling one by one

 

Out in the fields

 

No flag has ever stopped

 

The bullet from a gun

 

 

 

Death is just a heartbeat away

 

Out in the fields

 

A heartbeat away

 

Out in the fields

 

Death is just a heartbeat away

 

Out in the fields

 

A heartbeat away

 

Out in the fields

 

 

 

In the fields

 

The fighting has begun

 

Out on the streets

 

They're falling one by one

 

Out from the skies

 

A thousand more will die each day

 

 

 

OUT!

Oh no, how could this happen to

 

Such an amazing young boy

 

I had my whole life ahead of me--

 

 

 

Oh God, how could you have let this

 

Happen to such a lovely young child

 

I was their only son and I tried,

 

Tried, tried--

 

 

 

Yeah, you, you miserable father

 

The one who ignored me for half of my life

 

Now I, I can't even look at you

 

Why? Why? Why?

 

 

 

Don't abandon me now

 

I don't want to die!

 

 

 

You can lead him to the ambulance

 

But you cannot make him live

 

No, you cannot make me live!

 

You can lead him to the ambulance

 

Lead me home!

 

But you cannot make him live

 

 

 

Would, could I have done differently

 

You never said there was anything wrong

 

Now the drugs, they give me encouragement

 

Why? Why? Why?

 

 

 

Oh God, tell me I'll make it

 

I'll give you my blood if that's all you need

 

Just don't tell me that I'm gonna die,

 

Die, die!

 

 

 

Don't abandon me now

 

I don't want to die

 

Alone...

 

 

 

You can lead him to the ambulance

 

But you cannot make him live

 

No you cannot make me live!

 

You can lead him to the ambulance

 

Why can't we celebrate? Lead me home!

 

But you cannot make him live

[hide]How many special people change?

 

How many lives are living strange?

 

Where were you while we were getting high?

 

Slowly walking down the hall

 

Faster than a cannonball

 

Where were you while we were getting high?

 

Someday you will find me

 

Caught beneath the landslide

 

In a champagne supernova in the sky

 

Someday you will find me

 

Caught beneath the landslide

 

In a champagne supernova

 

A champagne supernova in the sky

 

Wake up the dawn and ask her why

 

A dreamer dreams, she never dies

 

Wipe that tear away now from your eye

 

Slowly walking down the hall

 

Faster than a cannonball

 

Where were you while we were getting high?

 

Someday you will find me

 

Caught beneath the landslide

 

In a champagne supernova in the sky

 

Someday you will find me

 

Caught beneath the landslide

 

In a champagne supernova

 

A champagne supernova

 

'Cuz we don't believe

 

That they're gonna get away from the summer

 

But you and I will never die

 

The world's still spinning around we don't know why

 

Why-why-why-why-i-i

How many special people change?

 

How many lives are living strange?

[ltb2006]

[hide=lyrics]Explode, my thoughts were drunken from quarts of beers

 

Was years back, before Nasir would explore a career in rap

 

As a music dude, I mastered this Rubik's Cube

 

Godzilla, fought Gargantua, eyes glued to the tube

 

Was a, long time ago, John Boy Ice

 

Geronimo po-lice jumpin out Chryslers, easywider paper

 

Pops puffin his sess, punchin his chest like a gorilla

 

Outside was psychoes, killers

 

Saw Divine, Goon and Chungo, Lil' Turkey

 

R.I.P. Tyrone, 'member no cursin front of Ms. Vercey

 

Big Percy, Crazy Paul, the Sledge Sisters

 

My building was 40-16, once in the blue, hallways was clean

 

I knew, all that I'd seen had meant somethin

 

Learned early, to fear none little Nas was huntin

 

Livin carefree laughin, got jokes on the daily

 

Y'all actin like some old folks y'all don't hear me

 

Yo I'm in my second childhood

 

 

 

Yo, dude is 31, livin in his moms crib

 

Ex-convict, was paroled there after his long bid

 

Cornrows in his hair, still slingin, got a crew

 

They break his moms furniture, watchin Comicview

 

Got babies by different ladies high smokin L's

 

in the same spot he stood since, eighty-five well

 

When his stash slow, he be crazy

 

Say he by his moms, hit her on her payday

 

Junior high school dropout, teachers never cared

 

They was paid just to show up and leave, no one succeeds

 

So he moves with his peers, different blocks, different years

 

Sittin on, different benches like it's musical chairs

 

All his peoples moved on in life, he's on the corners at night

 

with young dudes it's them he wanna be like

 

It's sad but it's fun to him right? He never grew up

 

31 and can't give his youth, he's in his second childhood

 

 

 

Baby girl she's always talkin name droppin hangin late

 

Drinkin smokin hates her baby daddy, craves shoppin

 

E poppin Ecstasy takin, won't finish her education

 

Best friend she keeps changin, stuck with limitations

 

Lustin men, many hotels, Fendi Chanel

 

With nothin in her bank account frontin she do well

 

Her kid suffers he don't get that love he deserve

 

He the Sun, she the Earth, single mom, even worse

 

No job never stay workin, mad purty

 

Shorty they call her the brain surgeon

 

Time flyin she the same person, never matures

 

All her friends married doin well

 

She's in the streets yakkety yakkin like she was 12

 

Honey is twenty-seven, argues fights

 

Selfish in her own right, polite, guess she's in her second childhood[/hide]
