So, we have "What are you listening to?", "What's your favorite band?", etc...

What are some of your favorite lyrics? Why?

Some of my favorite lyrics come from bands that aren't my favs, like Led Zeppelin's "Battle of Evermore." Thinking about some of the harder times I've been through, these lyrics let me know I kept my head held high, and hopes high through all of them (Even if the song was written about Lord of the Rings, lol).

The Battle of Evermore:

"The Queen of Light took her bow and then she turned to go
The Prince of Peace embraced the gloom and walked the night alone

Oh, dance in the dark night, sing to the morning light
The Dark Lord rides in force tonight, and time will tell us all

Oh, throw down your plow and hoe, race now to my bow

Side by side we wait the might, of the darkest of them all

I hear the forces asunder down in the valley below
I'm waiting for the angels of Avalon, waiting for the eastern glow

The apples of the valley hold the seeds of happiness
The ground is rich from tender care, which they do not forget, no, no
Dance in the dark night, sing to the morning light

The apples turn to brown and black, the tyrant's face is red

Oh, war is the common cry, pick up your swords and fly
The sky is filled with good and bad, mortals never know

Oh well, the night is long, the beads of time pass slow
Tired eyes on the sunrise, waiting for the eastern glow

The pain of war cannot exceed the woe of aftermath
The drums will shake the castle wall, the Ringwraiths ride in black (ride on)

Sing as you raise your bow, (ride on) shoot straighter than before
No comfort has the fire at night that lights the face so cold

Oh, dance in the dark night, sing to the morning light
The magic runes are writ in gold to bring the balance back, bring it back

At last the sun is shining, the clouds of blue roll by
With flames from the dragon of darkness, the sunlight blinds his eyes

Oh, bring it back, bring it back... "

I love Led Zeppelin and that's a great song

My pick for favorite lyrics goes to "Blue Sunday" by The Doors, it's just a beautiful song that I listen to whenever I use my MP3 player.

Blue Sunday:

I found my own true love was on a Blue Sunday.
She looked at me and told me
I was the only, One in the world.
Now I have found my girl.
My girl awaits for me in tender times
My girl is mine, She is the world
She is my girl.
La, la, la, la
My girl awaits for me in tender times
My girl is mine, She is the world
She is my girl.

It's also one of the few songs I can sing .

Who's the musician of that song?

oops, I forgot to put it in. I'll edit the post

god is an excuse, God is an excuse, God is an excuse, God is an excuse, So Sing it with me!- By Marilyn Manson

because it is somewhat true, some people use god as an excuse for doing or not doing something.


Long Live Marilyn Manson!

This one's easy for me. I'm one of the people who cam immediatly answet the question "what's your favorite song?"

My Land by Sonata Arctica:

My own land has closed its gates on me
All alone in world, it's scaring me

I am here to prove you wrong
I'm accused of something I live for

In my dreamland, there's one who understands
A friendly soul, trusting life in your hands

Yes, I gave it all I can
Now it's invaded by a stranger

Keep in mind what you have heard today
You might find that you are not so brave
Are you man enough, carry the load all alone
When others have your own

My old land is but a pile of sand
Cold and bare but something still is there

Yes, I gave it all I can
Now it's invaded by a stranger

Keep in mind what you have heard today
You might find that you are not so brave
Are you man enough, carry the load all alone
When others have your own

I'm a true patriot, you have my land
you have my soul, you have all I had,
Now I am here, and I want it all back

In my dreams, I climb the hills I see
and let a gentle breeze lead me to
plains I once have seen and
clear blue sky, I swim in lakes I find
I build a house right there
that you can't take away,never take away

I am here to claim my land
you can't keep me away,forever

Keep in mind what you have heard today
You might find that you are not so brave
Are you man enough, carry the load all alone
When others have your own

Are you man enough, carry the load all alone
When others have your own


That's been my favorite song for a very long time, and it will be until the day I die. That song is beautiful.

There are such better choices of Manson lyrics, man. For example:

From Lamb of God:
If you die when there's no one watching
and your ratings drop and you're forgotten
if they kill you on their TV
you're a martyr and a lamb of god
nothing's going to change the world

A fundamental truth. If you die and no one sees it, no one cares. Doesn't matter why. But if it's on television, you could have been the biggest jerk in the world and yet the public will make you a martyr.

From The Fight Song:
The death of one is a tragedy,
the death of one is a tragedy,
the death of one is a tragedy,
but death of millions is just
a statistic.

Another big truth. Girl gets run over by a car, it's a tragedy. Millions die in an earthquake in China and it's just a fact of life, no one cares.

Or the lyrics to Get Your Gunn:
goshdarn your righteous hand
I eat innocent meat
The housewife I will beat
The prolife I will kill
What you won't do I will
I bash myself to sleep
What you sow I will reap
I scar myself you see
I wish I wasn't me
I am the little stick
You stir me into s***
I hate therefore I am
goshdarn your righteous hand
goshdarn, goshdarn (oh, lord)
goshdarn, goshdarn
Pseudo-morals work real well
On the talk shows for the weak
But your selective judgements
And goodguy badges
Don't mean a f*** to me
I throw a little fit
I slit my teenage wrist
The most that I can learn
Is in records that you burn
Get your gunn, get your gunn
Get your gunn, get your gunn
Pseudo-morals work real well
On the talk shows for the weak
But your selective judgements
And goodguy badges
Don't mean a f*** to me
I am the vhs
Record me with your fist
You want me to save the world
I'm just a little girl
Pseudo-morals work real well
On the talk shows for the weak
But your selective judgements
And goodguy badges
Don't mean a f*** to me
Get your gunn, get your gunn
Get your gunn, get your gunn...get

The whole song is a reaction to a group of "prolife" activists in Florida who murdered a doctor that worked at an abortion clinic. The doctor's last name was Gunn. The base message of the song is that the goodguy "i'm so rightous, abortion is bad" image that this people project and the s*** they say on television to convert people to their cause does not work on him and he feels they are full of s*** because they killed a person in cold blood for showing up to work. Pseudo-morals: killing a fetus is bad, killing an adult male for doing his job is okay.

Ok... enough examples from me today. I don't think I actually have one set of favorite lyrics, obviously. I'll probably be back with more later.

The song is "Bring Me To Life" by Evanescence (feat. Paul McCoy)

how can you see into my eyes like open doors
leading you down into my core
where I’ve become so numb without a soul my spirit sleeping somewhere cold
until you find it there and lead it back home

(Wake me up)
Wake me up inside
(I can’t wake up)
Wake me up inside
(Save me)
call my name and save me from the dark
(Wake me up)
bid my blood to run
(I can’t wake up)
before I come undone
(Save me)
save me from the nothing I’ve become

now that I know what I’m without
you can't just leave me
breathe into me and make me real
bring me to life

(Wake me up)
Wake me up inside
(I can’t wake up)
Wake me up inside
(Save me)
call my name and save me from the dark
(Wake me up)
bid my blood to run
(I can’t wake up)
before I come undone
(Save me)
save me from the nothing I’ve become

Bring me to life
(I've been living a lie, there's nothing inside)
Bring me to life

frozen inside without your touch without your love darling only you are the life among the dead

all this time I can't believe I couldn't see
kept in the dark but you were there in front of me
I’ve been sleeping a thousand years it seems
got to open my eyes to everything
without a thought without a voice without a soul
don't let me die here
there must be something more
bring me to life

(Wake me up)
Wake me up inside
(I can’t wake up)
Wake me up inside
(Save me)
call my name and save me from the dark
(Wake me up)
bid my blood to run
(I can’t wake up)
before I come undone
(Save me)
save me from the nothing I’ve become

(Bring me to life)
I’ve been living a lie, there’s nothing inside
(Bring me to life)

I have no clue, lyrics are in japanese. the song is called "Yeah! Break! Care! Break!

"Daybreak" (Part Three) of "The Lightning Strike" by Snow Patrol:

Something was bound to go right sometime today
All these broken pieces fit together, to make a perfect picture of us
It got cold and then dark so suddenly, and rained
It rained so hard the two of us were the only thing
That we could see for miles and miles.

And in the middle of the flood I felt my worth
When you held onto me like I was your little life raft.
Please know that you were mine as well.

haha, i gotta bleep out alot of the words for one of my favorite songs

Band: Toxic Narcotic
Song: People Suck

Lyrics:
This is why I'm full of hate
War for race church and state or just for hate
(People Suck)
Annihilate oppress enslave pollute and waste
(People Suck)
Rape and bum with no concern till all is spent
(People Suck)
All races creeds religious secrets or governments
(People Suck)

[Chorus:]
I'll say it to your face
F**k you you f*****g f**k
I hate the human race
F**k you you f*****g f**k
It's just a useless waste
F**k you you f*****g f**k
'Cause I'm a human racist and people f*****g suck

This is why I'm so irate
Destroy the earth with greed and thirst to come in first
(People Suck)
Power sick with envy lust and genocide
(People Suck)
Do you need another f***ing reason why
(People Suck)

[Chorus:]
I'll say it to your face
F**k you you f*****g f**k
I hate the human race
F**k you you f*****g f**k
It's just a f*****g waste
F**k you you f*****g f**k
Yes I'm a human racist and people f*****g suck

It is no surprise
You close your eyes and hope it goes away
When will you realize
Power corrupts and that will never change
Don't believe the lie
that there can be any peace or unity
Humanity must die
For there will finally be equality

[Chorus:]
I'll say it to your face
F**k you you f*****g f**k
I hate the human race
F**k you you f*****g f**k
It's just a f*****g waste
F**k you you f*****g f**k
Yes I'm a human racist and people f*****g suck

[Chorus:]
I'll say it to your face
F**k you you f*****g f**k
I hate the human race
F**k you you f*****g f**k
It's just a f*****g waste
F**k you you f****g f**k
Yes I'm a human racist and people f*****g suck

michael jackson's beat it.

Just look at my layout. Those are the lyrics to a song called Push Button by Stolen Babies.

My favorite is 'My Lagan Love' by Celtic Woman:

Where Lagan stream sings lullaby
There blows a lily fair
The twilight gleam is in her eye
The night is on her hair
And like a love-sick lennan-shee
She hath my heart in thrall
No life I owe no liberty
For the night is lord of all.

And sometimes when the beetle's horn
Hath lulled the eve to sleep
I steal unto her shieling lorn
And thru the dooring peep.
There on the cricket's singing stone,
She stirs the bogwood fire,
And hums in soft sweet undertones
The song of heart's desire

The song of heart's desire.


I like these lyrics because they're different. And they are really poetic.

These people round here,
Wear beaten down eye sunk in smoke dried faces,
So resigned to what their fate is,
but not us,
no not us,
We are far too young and clever,
(remember)Toorah loorah toorah loo-rye aye


Come one Eileen - Dexy's Midnight Runners

HAHAHA great song, makes me wish I was english.

I like the lyrics from Purple Haze by Jimi Hendrix. Totally Awesome, R.I.P. Hendrix

Fav is Traveling Riverside Blues done by Led Zeppelin they got there style from one of my favorite blues artists Robert Johnson another song that I liked was Crossroads if you do like blues you would like his music.

Asked sweet mama, Let me be her kid
She said, "You might get hurt if you don't keep it hid"

Well I know my baby, If I see her in the dark
I said I know my rider, If I see her in the dark

Now, I goin' to Rosedale, Take my rider by my side
Still barrelhouse, If it's on the riverside, yeah
I know my baby, Lord, I said, "is really sloppy drunk"
I know my mama, Lord, a brownskin, but she ain't no plum

See my baby, tell her, Tell her hurry home
Had no lovin', since my baby been gone
See my baby, Tell hurry on home
I ain't had, Lord, my right mind, Since my rider's been gone

Hey, she promises, She's my rider
I wanna tell you, She's my rider
I know you're mine, She's my rider
She ain't but sixteen, But she's my rider

I'm goin' to Rosedale, Take my rider by side
Anybody argue with me man, I'll keep them satisfied
Well, see my baby, tell her, Tell her the shape I'm in
Ain't had no lovin', Lord, since you know when

Spoken: Why don't you come into my kitchen

She's a kindhearted lady. She studies evil all the time
She's a kindhearted woman. She studies evil all the time

Squeeze my lemon 'til the juice runs down my leg
Squeeze it so hard, I'll fall right out of bed
Squeeze my lemon, 'til the juice runs down my leg

Mesmerized by Circle of Dust

These hollow bones
Before you bare
In the secret sins
I'd never shared

Felt myself slipping away
Into someone who could understand
And be my only friend

As time passes me by
You leave me mesmerized

Both of damaged soul
And of (a) lifeless heart
Oh how you have shown

Of the place to start

Felt myself stripping away
From what I've held to for so long
I've just begun to fail

As time passes me by
You leave me mesmerized

This song pretty much describes me.

Viva La Vida By 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

It was the wicked and wild wind
Blew down the doors to let me in
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
People couldn't believe what I'd become

Revolutionaries wait
For my head on a silver plate
Just a puppet on a lonely string
Oh, who would ever want to be king?

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
I know Saint Peter won't call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world

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
I know Saint Peter won't call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world
