One of my personal favourites is from I'll Be Your Mirror by The Velvet Underground.

When you think the night has seen your mind
That inside you're twisted and unkind
Let me stand to show that you are blind
Please put down your hands
'Cause I see you
I find it hard to believe you don't know
The beauty you are
But if you don't let me be your eyes
A hand to your darkness, so you won't be afraid...

That song is pure win and genius, and it helps me whenever I'm feeling really sad about something. Lou Reed's simply amazing! <3
So thoughts? Are there any lyrics that have helped you through something or you just really like?

Destroy the spineless
Show me it's real
Wasting our last chance to come away
Just break the silence
Cause I'm drifting away, away from youuuuu

My plug in baby
Crucifies my enemies when I'm tired of giving
Whoa ohhhhh
My plug in baby
In unbroken virgin realities
Is tired of living

Mary... Mary... To be this young, I'm oh so scared.
I wanna live. I wanna love.
But it's a long hard road out of hell."

"There is no insanity, rather a super sanity
More suited for life at the end of the 20th century
Where everything is art,
And everything is trying to express it,
Where everything is art,
And everything is trying to comunicate it..."

-Oh My Fucking God/Strapping Young Lad

"Ooh, then I need to get myself some good drugs
Then when I get the money... ladies will all know that I'm the man...
'Cause I ain't gonna be questing for sex if I ain't livin' in poverty and I ain't got no disease...
...In fact you could say I was a logical choice!
Woah! Just look at him, and look at her! Ha!
Running in the circles and then opening the bar!"

-Deconstruction/Devin Townsend

"I am right here, and I am not frightened... Are we clear? Are we?
You never come round, you will not be welcome, you will not!!!
You have been vanquished, let go!!!
I've conquered my soul!
Vanquished... Now go!!!
Exorcise yourself!

And stand for what you truly believe in!"

God thinks all blacks are obsolete farm equipment
God thinks the Jews killed his son and must be punished
God thinks the white man is Satan
God, they know what God thinks

God thinks we should all convert to Judaism
God thinks we must all be Christians and
God thinks we should all embrace Islam
God thinks the only true religion is Hinduism

And I
I know what God thinks
God thinks you're a waste of flesh
God prefers an Atheist

God God
God thinks all people like you are hateful
God thinks all people like you are an embarrassment to creation
self-righteous, judgmental, first to throw a stone
and using His name for your own protection

God thinks the sun revolves around the Earth
God thinks there was something very wrong with Copernicus
God thinks abortion is murder and
God thinks everything that science gave us is wrong
God thinks women deserve it
God thinks AIDS is a form of punishment

I hate people who blame the Devil for their own shortcomings and
I hate people who thank God when things go right

And I
I know what God thinks
God thinks you're an idiot
God prefers a heretic

God God
God thinks all people like you are hateful
God thinks all people like you are an embarrassment to creation
self-righteous, judgmental, first to throw the stone
and using His name for your own agenda

God is a liberal
God is a democrat
God wants you to vote republican
never trust a man who puts his words in the mouth of god
and says it's absolute truth
its lies and it smells like death
its all in a day's work taking money from the poor
Why do you think that God would need your dirty money
if He wants to start a holy war?

self-righteous, judgmental, first to throw a stone
and using His name for your own protection

God thinks puppies need to die and
God thinks babies need to drown
'cause God is neither good nor bad
God is you and me
God is Everything

Hey now, all you sinners... put your lights on. Put your lights on.
Hey now, all you lovers... put your lights on. Put your lights on.
Hey now, all you killers... put your lights on. Put your lights on.
Hey now, all you children... leave your lights on. Better leave your lights on.
'Cuz there's a monster living under my bed, whispering in my ear.

It's like speaking in tongues for all you know.
Will we ever get what we deserve?
How long until the tables turn?
Will we ever get what we deserve?

A Day to Remember/ Mr Highway's thinking about the end

We scream, we shout
We are the fallen angels
We scream, we shout, woah, woah
To those who sing alone
No need to feel this sorrow
We scream, we shout, woah
We are the fallen angels

Black veil brides/ Fallen Angels


I'm insane, I am smart
all it takes is a spark to ignite my bad intentions,
and do what I do best to your heart,
don't be fooled, I was raised by the wolves.
Now the moon takes it's full, so you know I won't play by the rules

John Lennon - Imagine

Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people living for today

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people living life in peace

You, you may say
I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one
I hope some day you'll join us
And the world will be as one

Jimmy Hendrix - Castles Made Of Sand

A little Indian brave who before he was ten,
Played war games in the woods with his Indian friends
And he built up a dream that when he grew up
He would be a fearless warrior Indian Cheif
Many moons past and more the dream grew strong until
Tomorrow he would sing his first war song and fight his first battle
But something went wrong, surprise attack killed him in his sleep that night

And so castles made of sand melts into the sea, eventually

THOSE LYRICS o.O
And all of Young by Hollywood Undead, I swear that's my life in a nutshell XD

[Cynic]

Tired of dull ages, I walk the same ground,
collecting the tragedies still
Hollow ambitions in a hollow mind
carried my cross to the hill

And how I lust for the dance and the fire
deep of the nectarine sunset to drink
spill me the wind and its fire
to steal of the colors - I'm the moonshield

Shattered hope became my guide
and grief and pain my friends
a brother pact in blood-ink pen
declared my silent end

Naked and dying under worlds of silent stone
reaching for the moonshield that once upon us shone

Moonshield by In Flames. The Jester Race is a classic melodic death metal album that I highly recommend.

If I had my own world
I'd build you an empire
From here to the far lands
To spread love like violence

~Secret Crowds by Angels & Airwaves. The entire song is awesome but I just really like the underlined part. It made me go WHOA MAN

I do love a lot of lyrics, but these are the only ones that come to mind atm.

ive got a new low
all 52 cards in a row
i see now that i wont let go
no i wont let go
who am i?
a cold shoulder left to cry
you feel bow-wow so do i
yeah so do i
ive been right ive been left ive been wrong; ive been left behind
ive been up but mostly down
i cannot help but feel like i have so much at stake
so lock myself inside my head
and i just run in place
so many directions i just do know which way to go
om so busy doin nothin i got nothin to show

middle class rut- new low

the underlined part is what really gets to me....the whole song is the story of my life, but this really gets to me

Split your lungs with blood and thunder
When you see the white whale
Break your backs and crack your oars men
If you wish to prevail

This ivory leg is what propels me
Harpoons thrust in the sky
Aim directly for his crooked brow
And look him straight in the eye

These aren’t tears of sadness because you’re leaving me
I’ve just been cutting onions
I’m making a lasagna
For one

There’s just a little bit of dust in my eye
That’s from the path that you made when you said your goodbye
I’m not weeping because you won’t be here to hold my hand
For your information there’s an inflammation in my tear gland
I’m not upset because you left me this way
My eyes are just a little sweaty today
They’ve been looking around
They’re like searching for you
They’ve been looking for you
Even though I told them not to
These aren’t tears of sadness
They’re tears of joy
I’m just laughing
Ha ha ha-ha ha
I'm sitting at this table called love
Staring down at the irony of life
How come we’ve reached this fork in the road
And yet it cuts like a knife?
