My favorite song lyrics are by the Musician Voltaire

When the Devil is too busy
And Death's a bit too much
They call on me by name you see,
For my special touch.
To the Gentlemen I'm Miss Fortune
To the Ladies I'm Sir Prize
But call me by any name
Any way it's all the same

I'm the fly in your soup
I'm the pebble in your shoe
I'm the pea beneath your bed
I'm a bump on every head
I'm the peel on which you slip
I'm a pin in every hip
I'm the thorn in your side
Makes you wriggle and writhe
And it's so easy when you're evil
This is the life, you see
The Devil tips his hat to me
I do it all because I'm evil
And I do it all for free
Your tears are all the pay I'll ever need

While there's children to make sad
While there's candy to be had
while there's pockets left to pick
While there's grannies to trip down the stairs
I'll be there, I'll be waiting round the corner
It's a game. I'm glad I'm in it
'Cause there's one born every minute

I pledge my allegiance, to all things dark
And I promise on my damned soul
To do as I am told, Lord Beelxebub
Has never seen a soldier quite like me
Not only does his job, but does it happily.

I'm the fear that keeps you awake
I'm the shadows on the wall
I'm the monsters they become
I'm the nightmare in your skull
I'm a dagger in your back
An extra turn on the rack
I'm the quivering of your heart
A stabbing pain, a sudden start.

And it's so easy when you're evil
This is the life, you see
The Devil tips his hat to me
I do it all because I'm evil
And I do it all for free
Your tears are all the pay I'll ever need
And I do it all for free
Your tears are all the pay I'll ever need
And I do it all for free
Your tears are all the pay I'll ever need

It gets so lonley being evil
What I'd do to see a smile
Even for a little while
And no one loves you when you're evil
I'm lying though my teeth!
Your tears are all the company I need!

Highway To Hell By AC/DC

Living easy, living free
Season ticket on a one-way ride
Asking nothing, leave me be
Taking everything in my stride

Dont need reason, dont need rhyme
Aint nothing I'd rather do
Going down, party time
My friends are gonna be there too, yeah

Im on the highway to hell

No stop signs, speed limit
Nobodys gonna slow me down
Like a wheel, gonna spin it
Nobodys gonna mess me round

Hey satan, payed my dues
Playing in a rocking band
Hey momma, look at me
Im on my way to the promised land
OWWW

Solitude by Candlemass

I'm sitting here alone in darkness
waiting to be free,
Lonely and forlorn I'm crying
I long for my time to come
death means just life
Please let me die in solitude

Hate is my only friend
pain is my father
torment is delight to me
Death is my sanctuary
I seek it with pleasure
Please let me die in solitude

Receive my sacrifice
my lifeblood is exhausted
no-one gave love and understanding
Hear these words
vilifiers and pretenders
and please let me die in solitude

Earth to earth
Ashes to ashes
Dust to dust

Pretty much the way I wanna die. I don't want people crying as I sit and waste away.

You try to play cool like you just don't care
But soon I'll be playin' in your underwear
I'm like a mage with the magic spell
You come like a dog when I ring your bell
I got the money and I got the fame
You got the hots to ride on my plane
You're givin' me all that I desire
'Cause down with me I'm takin' you higher

I'm the baddest of the bad
I'm the best that you've ever had
I’m the tops, I’m the thing
All the girls get up when I sing, yeah
I'm the meanest in the place
Step up, I'll mess with your face
I don't care where you are
Look up and follow the star

Ohh, I'm gonna tear down the wall
I may not be here when you call
So best be givin' me your all, ooo

After the havoc that I'm gonna wreak
No more words will critics have to speak
I've got the answers to the tangled knot
Sleep tight in your cot

Ohh baby, I've been told that I'm goin' crazy
Ohh baby, but I can't be held down
Ohh baby, somehow I'm keepin' it steady
Ohh baby, I'm tearing up this town

Hey, this is what I like
Cut my heart with a martyr's spike
Hey, this is nothing new
I got more than enough for you

I can take on anybody, I can do my thing
I don't wanna hurt nobody but a bee has got to sting
I'm 'a fix it if you mix it up (Hoo hoo)
Talk smack then I'm a'gonna shut you up (Hoo hoo)

I am the greatest man that ever lived
I was born to give (I was born to give)
I am the greatest man that ever lived, oh
Radioactive

Somebody said, "All the world is a stage
And each of us is a player."
That's what I've been tryin' to tell you
In Act I, I was struggling to survive
Nobody wanted my action dead or alive
Act II, I hit the big time
And bodies be all up on my behind
And I can't help myself
'Cause I was born to shine
If you don't like it, you can shove it
But you don't like it, you love it
So I'll be up here in a rage
'Till they bring the curtain down on this stage

I'm the greatest man that ever lived
I'm the greatest man that ever lived

I am the greatest man that ever lived
I was born to give and give and give
I am the greatest man that ever lived
Radioac-dioac-dioac-dioactive

I am the greatest man that ever lived
I was born to give

Don't know the whole lyrics but favorite line of a song of all time.

It's about....screamin 187 on a M-----F----N Cop.

Song: Sublime, April 26, 1992.

I fly like paper, get high like planes
If you catch me at the border I got visas in my name
If you come around here, I make 'em all day
I get one down in a second if you wait

[x2]
Sometimes I think sitting on trains
Every stop I get to I'm clocking that game
Everyone's a winner, we're making our fame
Bona fide hustler making my name

[x4]
All I wanna do is (BANG BANG BANG BANG!)
And (KKKAAAA CHING!)
And take all your money

[x2]
Pirate skulls and bones
Sticks and stones and weed and bombs
Running when we hit 'em
Lethal poison for the system

[x2]
No one on the corner has swagger like us
Hit me on my Burner prepaid wireless
We pack and deliver like UPS trucks
Already in hell just pumping that gas

[x4]
All I wanna do is (BANG BANG BANG BANG!)
And (KKKAAAA CHING!)
And take your money

M.I.A.
Third world democracy
Yeah, I got more records than the K.G.B.
So, uh, no funny business

Some some some I some I murder
Some I some I let go
Some some some I some I murder
Some I some I let go
[x4]
All I wanna do is (BANG BANG BANG BANG!)
And (KKKAAAA CHING!)
And take your money

Iron Maiden. Two minutes to midnight.

"The glamour,the fortune,the pain. Go to war again,blood is freedom's stain"

Im not sure why I guess it reminds me of my motivations.

nillloc : Other favorite song.

This is from my favourite artist, Björk:

"I miss you, but I haven't met you yet"

- from "I Miss You"

This one line is just something that I always think about. It's like, I have so many people on the internet, and although I "talk" to them back and forth, we have yet to actually meet. I want to meet the people from here (the internet) that have had the most profound effect on me. One man's blog led me to be a Giants fan, one girl had a video that I commented on and before I knew it, I had a new best friend, as well as some others.

It could even just be people who I IM, text, comment, etc. that I haven't seen in a while.

It's just a song that reminds me that I have friends everywhere and to never forget them.

NotJon : The song Ironbound by Overkill reminds me that I have friends.

Third Eye by the band one of my favorites Tool there is another I can't seem to think of it right now maybe it will come to me later in another post on this thread there are far to many Tool songs that are good.

Dreaming of that face again
It's bright and blue and shimmering
Grinning wide
And comforting me with its three warm and wild eyes

On my back and tumbling
Down that hole and back again
Rising up
And wiping the webs and the dew from my withered eye

In... Out... In... Out... In... Out...

A child's rhyme stuck in my head
It said that life is but a dream

I've spent so many years in question
to find I've known this all along

"So good to see you
I've missed you so much
So glad it's over

I've missed you so much
Came out to watch you play
Why are you running?"

Shrouding all the ground around me
Is this holy crow above me
Black as holes within a memory

And blue as our new second sun
I stick my hand into his shadow
To pull the pieces from the sand

Which I attempt to reassemble
To see just who I might have been
I do not recognize the vessel

But the eyes seem so familiar
Like phosphorescent desert buttons
Singing one familiar song...

There are a lot of songs I like better than this one, but "Dumb" by Nirvana has some great lyrics. Musically it's not my favorite, but lyrically it's a contender.



I'm not like them
But I can pretend
The sun is gone,
But I have a light
The day is done,
I'm having fun
I think I'm dumb
Or maybe just happy

Think I'm just happy
Think I'm just happy
Think I'm just happy

My heart is broke
But I have some glue
Help me inhale
And mend it with you
We'll float around
And hang out on clouds
Then we'll come down
And have a hangover

Have a hangover
Have a hangover
Have a hangover

Skin the sun
Fall asleep
Wish away
soul is cheap
Lesson learned
Wish me luck
Soothe the burn
Wake me up

I'm not like them
But I can pretend
The sun is gone,
But I have a light
the day is done,
I'm having fun
I think I'm dumb
Or Maybe just happy

Think I'm just happy
Think I'm just happy
Think I'm just happy

I think I'm Dumb

My favorite lyrics are form lord of the rings return of the king.
The song is called edge of night by pippin.

Home is behind
The world ahead
And there are many paths to tread
Through shadow
To the edge of night
Until the stars are all alight
Mist and shadow
Cloud and shade
All shall fade
All shall fade !

Of course not many people on this site are gonna know this band or song but my fav lyrics come from a band called Dexter Freebish and the song is "Leaving Town"


Nothing in life will ever come that easy
Doesnt mean it has be that hard
I know one day you will find who you are

well, first off, I'm really impressed by this song. I absolutely love it...the instrumentals are amazing and Chris Martin's voice and vocal melodies are perfect. The first verse is talking about a decline from wealth and fame to a nobody. I've been trying to figure out what the relevance of this is, but no ideas yet.

In the second verse, his mindset seems to have changed and he's accepted his lower status and now is questioning, "who would ever wanna be king?" Well, he used to be the King and now that he sees what it looks like from an outsider's perspective, he realizes that he's glad to have left it behind.

Viva La Vida - Coldplay

I used to rule the world
Seas would rise when I gave the word
Now in the morning I sleep alone
Sweep the streets I used to own

I used to roll the dice
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
Listen as the crowd would sing
"Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!"

One minute I held the key
Next the walls were closed on me
And I discovered that my castles stand
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand

I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field

For some reason I can't explain
Once you go there was never
Never an honest word
And that was when I ruled the world

Mine would have to be:
Xavier by Dead Can Dance

Fair Roseanna
Your vagrancy's a familiar tale

Fraught with danger
The lives you led were judged profane

Hatred enfolds us
Inculcates the minds with it's heresy

Laymen enfold us
Clemency arrives to set you free

Faith
Although Xavier has prayed
That life-giving waters may rain
Down on the souls of man
To cure them of their ways

These were the sins of Xavier's past
Hung like jewels in the forest of veils
Deep in the heart where the mysteries emerge
Eve bears the stigma of original sin

Freedom so hard when we are all bound by laws
Etched in the seam of nature's own hand
Unseen by all those who fail in their pursuit of faith
Although Xavier has prayed

That life-giving waters may rain
Down on the souls of man
To cure them of their ways

And as the night turns into day
Will the sun illuminate your way
Or will the nightmares come home to stay
Xavier's love lies in chains

These were the sins of Xavier's past
Hung like jewels in the forest of veils.

This has a very positive upbeat sound to it. makes me feel like they are singing about waiting around forever for an adventure or to really begin the whole living' and feeling alive process. he's having a new awakening to life, if you will.


Speed Of Sound - Coldplay

How long before I get in
before it starts, before I begin
how long before you decide
before I know what it feels like
where to?
Where do I go?
if you've never tried then you'll never know
how long do I have to climb
up on the side of this mountain of mine

look up, I look up at night
planets are moving at the speed of light
climb up, up in the trees
every chance that you get
is a chance you seize
how long am I gonna can stand
with my head stuck under the sand
I start before I can stop
before I see thing the right way up

all that noise, all that sound
all those places that i have found
and birds go flying at the speed of sound
to show how it all began
birds came flying from the underground
if you could see it then you'd understand

I love Shinedown Sound of Madness lyrics

Yeah, I get it,
You're an outcast.
Always under attack.
Always coming in last,
Bringing up the past.
No one owes you anything.
I think you need a shotgun blast,
A kick in the ass,
So paranoid. . .
Watch your back!!

Oh my, here we go...

Another loose cannon gone bi-polar
Slipped down, couldn't get much lower.
Quicksand's got no sense of humor.
I'm still laughing like hell.
You think that by crying to me
Looking so sorry that I'm gonna believe,
You've been infected by a social disease.
Well, then take your medicine.

[Chorus:]
I created the Sound of Madness.
Wrote the book on pain.
Somehow I'm still here,
To explain,
That the darkest hour never comes in the night.
You can sleep with a gun.
When you gonna wake up and fight... for yourself?

I'm so sick of this tombstone mentality,
If there's an afterlife,
Then it'll set you free.
But I'm not gonna part the seas
You're a self-fulfilling prophecy.
You think that crying to me,
Looking so sorry that I'm gonna believe,
You've been infected by a social disease.
Well, then take your medicine.

[Chorus]

I created the Sound of Madness.
Wrote the book on pain.
Somehow I'm still here,
To explain,
That the darkest hour never comes in the night.
You can sleep with a gun.
When you gonna wake up...
When you gonna wake up and fight...

[Chorus]

When you gonna wake up and fight... for yourself? [x3]

Echos - Pink Floyd

Overhead the albatross hangs motionless upon the air
And deep beneath the rolling waves
In labyrinths of coral caves
The echo of a distant tide
Comes willowing across the sand
And everything is green and submarine.

And no-one called us to the land
And no-one knows the wheres or whys
But something stirs and something tries
And starts to climb towards the light

Strangers passing in the street
By chance two separate glances meet
And I am you and what I see is me
And do I take you by the hand
And lead you through the land
And help me understand the best I can

On the 30th Anniversary "Dark Side of the Moon" DVD, Roger Waters gives a good description on his philosophy and how this song is a good example of it. Here is my understanding of the meaning of the song: Everything we do and say has an effect on other people, so the best way to live is to be empathetic. Our thoughts and actions can have far-reaching effects, just like the "echoes" of distant tides can have an effect on the deepest cave of coral in the ocean.

Human emotions, actions, and words are all very powerful. It's important to think of what other people will feel as a result of your actions. Being empathetic is the ideal way to live, according to Roger Waters' philosophy. It puts aside feelings of selfishness and focuses on doing what is best for everyone. This is the best way to promote peace and harmony in the world. Sounds easy (right!), but it sure would be tough to get everyone on the same page. A lofty goal, but certainly a noble and good one.

For a closer look at the feeling of "empathy" check out the 2nd verse that states "Strangers passing in the street, by chance two separate glances meet, and I am you and what I see is me." Sounds cryptic, but it's sn example of how two perfect strangers could fully understand and feel what the other person is feeling. Wouldn't it be great if the world could see things this way? I always thought of Pink Floyd's songs as sounding musically "lofty" or "airy", and the lyrics and their meaning certainly follow that.
