music What are some of your favorite song lyrics?

[Prospekt 11,019]

The forest burns along the road

Like God's eyes in my headlights

And the dogs are looking for their bones

And it's raining ice picks on your steel shore

 

 

[King of Canterlot 9,603]

This is from a song called "Home" by Edward Sharpe and The Magnetic Zeros, specifically from the last part of the song  

Home, let me come home,
Home is wherever I'm with you
Our home, yes, I am home,
Home is when I’m alone with you

Alabama, Arkansas,
I do love my Ma and Pa
Moats and boats, and waterfalls,
Alleyways, and payphone calls

[iceestarz 5,765]

Last Hope- Paramore

It's just a spark but it's enough to keep me going
And when it's dark out and no one's around it keeps glowing

Welcome To The World- The Summer Set

Welcome to the world that we live in
A perfect collision
It's beat down, it's broken, it's bright
Welcome to happiness, sadness
To love and to madness
The delicate balance we ride

Before You- The Ready Set ft. Karra 

Before you
I didn't know how much I miss you burning through my mind
On every night
Before you
I had a different take on love and so I took my time
And it changed my life
 

Roses- Carly Rae Jepsen 

Yeah I can feel you reaching through the cracks
A simple change of heart and you attack
All the roses in the garden fade to black, ooh-ooh
I won't take it back

Yeah that’s just a few. But yeah. Basically some of my favorite songs and lyrics from them.

[Frostgage 7,975]

I love these so much. I think it speaks about how activities are insignificant; what matters is the person you do it with

Grab your shoes, dust the floor, I'll leave it up to you
We could kiss in the rain, or throw a party for two
Running round with friends til the morning
Shit, I don't mind as long as I'm with you

Grab my hand, we could dance, we could stir up the crowd
Laugh with friends over this, I don't care when or how
Just as long as you're here, just as long as you're here
And as long as I'm with you

 

[Early Sunsets 2,107]

Even a well lit place can hide salvation
A map to a one man maze that never sees the sun
Where the lost are the heroes
And the thieves are left to drown
But everyone knows by now
Fairy tales are not found
They're written in the walls

As we walk in a straight line
Down in the dirt with a landslide approaching
But nothing could ever stop us
From stealing our own place in the sun
We will face the odds against us
And run into the fear we run from

"Dear Mister 'I'm Too Good To Call Or Write My Fans'
This will be the last package I ever send your ass
It's been six months and still no word, I don't deserve it?
I know you got my last two letters
I wrote the addresses on 'em perfect
So this is my cassette I'm sending you, I hope you hear it
I'm in the car right now, I'm doing ninety on the freeway
I love you, Slim, we coulda been together, think about it
You ruined it now, I hope you can't sleep and you dream about it
And when you dream I hope you can't sleep and you scream about it
I hope your conscience eats at you and you can't breathe without me."

Eminem - "Stan" (2000).

[The Recherche 29,968]

"Stand your ground, It's time to face your fears

Now become the one you've locked away for years.

Looking back you've always found a reason,

For the easy way out.

Your life in a reflection.

There comes a time when we need the answers,

There comes a time when we're all alone.

Although we're bound to this together,

You'll have to walk the path alone.

I never told you that it would be easy.

I never told you I would be around to save you from yourself.

Now you see all the whys.

It's time you make your own decisions, and let me go."

*ahem*

life is so boring
it's really got me snoring
I'm wearing out the flooring in a cheap motel
But I don't have to work
And I might be sinning,
But I'm never gonna have to hear the rings of school bells.

- "The Air Near my Fingers"  by the White Stripes

[Messy Mane 9,032]

"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.

 

So you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking
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." -Time by Pink Floyd

[Phill 1,287]

Michael Jackson - She Drives Me Wild 

Black jeans
And a turtleneck sweater
I know the girl is fakin'
'Cause I've seen her look better
She composition
She statistical fact
Got it ready for the willing
Got it kickin' at the back

 

Michael Jackson - Dangerous

Deep in the darkness of
Passion's insanity
I felt taken by lust's
Strange inhumanity

 

a-ha - The Sun Always Shines On TV

Please don't ask me to defend

The shameful lowlands of the way I'm drifting gloomily through time

 

a-ha - Driftwood 

So I ask in faded innocence

and all my youthful rage 

will your hands still touch me when my face has fallen in with age?

 

Genesis - Domino

sheets of double glazing help to keep outside the night,
only foreign city sirens can cut through,
nylon sheets and blankets help to minimize the cold.
but they can't keep out the chilling sounds.

 

Trixie - Tricks Up My Sleeve 

Don't mean to brag, don't mean to boast
But I'm a six-course meal and you're just burnt toast

"If you love somebody, better tell them while they're here"

On Top of the World - Imagine Dragons

[Pandora 38,065]

Should've stayed, were there signs, I ignored?
Can I help you, not to hurt, anymore?
We saw brilliance, when the world, was asleep
There are things that we can have, but can't keep

If they say
Who cares if one more light goes out?
In a sky of a million stars
It flickers, flickers
Who cares when someone's time runs out?
If a moment is all we are
We're quicker, quicker
Who cares if one more light goes out?
Well I do

The reminders pull the floor from your feet
In the kitchen, one more chair than you need oh
And you're angry, and you should be, it's not fair
Just 'cause you can't see it, doesn't mean it, isn't there

If they say
Who cares if one more light goes out?
In a sky of a million stars
It flickers, flickers
Who cares when someone's time runs out?
If a moment is all we are
We're quicker, quicker
Who cares if one more light goes out?
Well I do

Who cares if one more light goes out?
In a sky of a million stars
It flickers, flickers
Who cares when someone's time runs out?
If a moment is all we are
We're quicker, quicker
Who cares if one more light goes out?
Well I do

Well I do

[Bastian 13,319]

You are my friend, aaaaa!...

 

 

 

Me in my guitar play my way

It makes them frown

Some little pieces by the highway

Bring me down.

 

 

Today is gonna be the day that im gonna throw it back to you.

By now you just have somehow realized what you gotta do.

I don't believe that anybody feels the way I do, about you now.

[Pastel Heart 6,466]

Well life for you has been less than kind

So take a number, stand in line

We've all been sorry, we've all been hurt

But how we survive is what makes us who we are

--Survive - Rise Against

[Stone Cold Steve Jobs 22,441]

“Everybody’s born to compete as he chooses,

But how can someone win if winning means that someone loses?

 I sit and see and wonder what it’s like to be in touch 

No wonder all my brothers and my sisters need a crutch

I want to be a human being, not a human doing

I couldn’t keep that pace up if I tried

The source of my intention really isn’t crime prevention 

My intention is prevention of the lie.”

[Lulaypp 2,555]

Practically the entire Don't Forget Forget Where You Belong (One Direction) and Jet Black Heart (5 Seconds Of Summer). It would be terribly long if I post it here. (Look it up if you want to know!)

Another would be the chorus of Catch Fire (5 Seconds Of Summer):

I would fight

To fix up and get things right

I can't change the world

I know that I can't change the world 

But maybe I'll change your mind

 

Then there is History (One Direction)'s:

So don't let it go

We can make some more

We can live forever!

 

The lyrics of I Want To Write You A Song (One Direction) is also beautiful:

I want to write you a song

Want to make your heart remember me

So anytime I'm gone you can listen to my voice and sing along

I want to write you a song

 

Man in the Mirror (Michael Jackson) has brilliant lyrics. Specifically:

You gotta get it right

While you got the time

Before you close your heart

And you close your mind

 

I also love the lyrics of Two of Us (Louis Tomlinson):

I will be the best of me

Always keep you next to me

I'll be living one life for the two of us

 

There are a plenty more, but these are probably my top favourites that I can think of (there are sure a lot of 1Ds :P).

[A French Derpy full of Salt 404]

Call me crazy, call me insane

The jester and the king are one and the same

The question of who really runs this freak show

Will have you rattle your brain

 

The sharpest elbows, the sharpest of minds

No compensation for the honest and kind

I'm digging deep to find the flaws within me

Before I'm falling behind

 

You can't control me, I can't even control myself

Steal from the rich, give to myself

 

I stack the decks and I'm rigging the race

I take a shortcut to the end of the maze

And all the while I got this faint suspicion

That I have fallen from grace

 

I make believe that I'm dining with kings

I'm justifying reprehensible things

The wind is rising underneath my feathers

The sun is hot on my wings

 

One hell of a week to upload it, eh?

The lyrics from this song 

 it’s just 💖

[AppleButt 8,676]

“What if who I hoped to be was always me?
And the love I fought to feel was always free?
What if all the things I've done, yeah
Were just attempts at earning love? Yeah
'Cause the hole inside my heart is stupid deep, stupid deep
 

What if where I've tried to go was always here?
And the path I've tried to cut was always clear?
Why has life become a plan, yeah
To put some money in my hand?
When the love I really need is stupid cheap, stupid cheap“

 

- Stupid Deep by Jon Bellion 

 

 

“Spring and Thompson on the first of May is horrible
We hid in catacombs
So now I'm sleeping next to mousetraps
In a bed of all our clothes
While I hope that she won't come home
It was easier to lock the doors and kill the phones
Than to show my skin
Because the hardest thing
Is never to repent for someone else
It's letting people in

Well you can come inside
Unlock the door, take off your shoes
But this might take all night
To explain to you I would have walked out those sliding doors
But the timing never seemed right
When your helicopter came and tried to lift me out
I put its rope around my neck
And after that you didn't bother with the airlift or the rescue
You knew just what to expect”

 

-Wake by The Antlers

 

Too relatable to me.

“I hate graveyards and old pawn shops,

For they always bring me tears.

Can’t forgive the way they robbed me

Of my childhood souvenirs.”

[Splashee 28,566]

Copying lyrics from @BBolt ⚡️'s status:

Josies on a vacation far away. Come around and talk it over.

So many things that I wanna say. You know I like my girls a little bit older.

I just wanna use your love, toniiiight.

[Lunar Glow 676]

"Just 'cause we're in love
Doesn't mean that we're right for each other"

~Alina Baraz, "To Me"

For me personally, that hit very close to home. I felt it. One of my favorite lyrics because of it.
