Favorite Song Lyrics

This is one of the most powerful songs that I have ever listened to. It's one of my absolute favorites. The video has the lyrics, and I also posted them in the spoiler.

 

 

 

"The Sound Of Silence"
by Simon & Garfunkel

Hello darkness, my old friend,
I've come to talk with you again,
Because a vision softly creeping,
Left its seeds while I was sleeping,
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence.

In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone,
'Neath the halo of a street lamp,
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence.

And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more.
People talking without speaking,
People hearing without listening,
People writing songs that voices never share
And no one dared
Disturb the sound of silence.

"Fools," said I, "You do not know –
Silence like a cancer grows.
Hear my words that I might teach you.
Take my arms that I might reach you."
But my words like silent raindrops fell
And echoed in the wells of silence

And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon god they made.
And the sign flashed out its warning
In the words that it was forming.
And the sign said, The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls
And whispered in the sound of silence.

Sleep will not come to this tired body now

Peace will not come to this lonely heart

There are some things I'll live without

But I want you to know that I need you right now

I need you tonite

I steal a kiss from her sleeping shadow moves

Cause I'll always miss her wherever she goes

And I'll always need her more than she could ever need me

I need someone to ease my mind

But sometimes a someone is so hard to find

And I'll do anything to keep her here tonite

And I'll say anything to make her feel alright

And I'll be anything to keep her here tonite

Cause I want you to stay, with me

I need you tonite

She comes to me like an angel out of time

As I play the part of a saint on my knees

There are some things I'll live without

But I want you to know that I need you right now

Suffer my desire

Suffer my desire

Suffer my desire for you

[Starlighty 984]

Lyrics for 50 Ways to Say Goodbye By Train

My heart is paralyzed

My head was over sized

I'll take the high road like I should

You said it's meant to be

That it's not you, it's me

You're leaving now for my own good

That's cool, but if my friends ask where you are I'm gonna say

She went down in an airplane

Fried getting suntan

Fell in a cement mixer full of quicksand

Help me, help me, I'm no good at goodbyes!

She met a shark under water

Fell and no one caught her

I returned everything I ever bought her

Help me, help me, I'm all out of lies

And ways to say you died

My pride still feels the sting

You were my everything

Some day I'll find a love like yours (a love like yours)

She'll think I'm Superman

Not super minivan

How could you leave on Yom Kippur?

That's cool, but if my friends ask where you are I'm gonna say

She was caught in a mudslide

Eaten by a lion

Got run over by a crappy purple Scion

Help me, help me, I'm no good at goodbyes!

She dried up in the desert

Drown in a hot tub

Danced to death at an east side night club

Help me, help me, I'm all out of lies

And ways to say you died

I wanna live a thousand lives with you

I wanna be the one you're dying to

Love, but you don't want to

That's cool, but if my friends ask where you are I'm gonna say

That's cool, but if my friends ask where you are I'm gonna say

She went down in an airplane

Fried getting suntan

Fell in a cement mixer full of quicksand

Help me, help me, I'm no good at goodbyes!

She met a shark under water

Fell and no one caught her

I returned everything I ever bought her

Help me, help me, I'm all out of lies

She was caught in a mudslide

Eaten by a lion

Got run over by a crappy purple Scion

Help me, help me, I'm no good at goodbyes!

She dried up in the desert

Drown in a hot tub

Danced to death at an east-side night club

Help me, help me, I'm all out of lies

And ways to say goodbye

 

 

These have been my favorite lyrics since the first time I heard this song... I even printed themm out and hung them on my wall!

[SparklingSquirrels 21,356]

I'm generally a pretty depressed person, but I like happy and positive songs sometimes. My favorite lyrics are from the song "Ăcasa" because they're so happy.

 

 

I can say I am just a man,

That my story is like all the others,

I was born, I live and I will die,

And I will be judged through my deeds.

 

But it's sure that I have my own way,

I don't have any question mark.

Sometimes it's hard to be me,

But I don't want to be anyone else.

 

I want to sing, to dream and to laugh,

Don't want to forget to play sometimes.

And then when I will step into the world

I don't want to forget to come back home.

 

And as long I still breathe,

I want to remain a child,

I want to enjoy life,

As we don't know when I will come back.

 

I want to drink as much as I can,

To stay with those I like,

To love my friends

the way they love me.

 

I want to taste pleasure,

To pass through painful times,

Know that life only offers things to those who ask

To those who ask.

 

And sometimes it happens to me to leave,

to drop everything,

And then I remember

that in life "I can't" does not exist.

 

 

The lyrics are even better when you listen to them; the song is in Romanian which makes it even prettier

High hopes by pink floyd. The song is older than me but still has some of the best lyrics ever.

 

(David Gilmour/Polly Samson)

Beyond the horizon of the place we lived when we were young

In a world of magnets and miracles

Our thoughts strayed constantly and without boundary

The ringing of the division bell had begun

Along the Long Road and on down the Causeway

Do they still meet there by the Cut

There was a ragged band that followed in our footsteps

Running before time took our dreams away

Leaving the myriad small creatures trying to tie us to the ground

To a life consumed by slow decay

The grass was greener

The light was brighter

With friends surrounded

The nights of wonder

Looking beyond the embers of bridges glowing behind us

To a glimpse of how green it was on the other side

Steps taken forwards but sleepwalking back again

Dragged by the force of some inner tide

At a higher altitude with flag unfurled

We reached the dizzy heights of that dreamed of world

Encumbered forever by desire and ambition

There's a hunger still unsatisfied

Our weary eyes still stray to the horizon

Though down this road we've been so many times

The grass was greener

The light was brighter

The taste was sweeter

The nights of wonder

With friends surrounded

The dawn mist glowing

The water flowing

The endless river

Forever and ever

[Away 2,077]

you can't always get what you want

 

you can't always get what you want

 

you can't always get what you want

 

and if you try sometimes, you get what you need

"...No prophet has ever been

Accepted in his own village"

 

"...No empire has ever been

True to those that helped it begin"

 

"After all that we've said and done,

the sky still gives us the sun every morning when we wake up

So feel privileged that we're the ones,

who are given so much and

yet are so undeserving."

 

~ Kaddisfly, "Waves" and "Clouds" from the album "Set Sail the Prairie"

[Sound Variations 264]

In these demon days

It's so cold inside

So hard for a good soul to survive

You can't even trust the air you breath

Because mother Earth wants us all to leave

When lies become reality

You numb yourself with drugs and T.V.

So pick yourself up, it's a brand new day

So turn yourself around

Don't burn yourself, turn yourself

Turn yourself around

To the Sun!

I've seen a lot of stuff I know in this thread and a lot of stuff I don't know, so I figured I'd post some of my favorite lyrics. I think I know how the spiler works, if I don't and get it wrong, I'm sorry

[spoiler=In One Ear- Cage the Elephant]

They say that we ain't got the style
We ain't got the class
We ain't got the tunes that's
Gonna put us on the map
And I'm a phony in disguise
Tryin' to make the radio
I'm an anti-social anarchist
I sound like so and so

They say I'm just a stupid kid
Another crazy radical
Rock'n'roll is dead
I probably should have stayed in school
Another generation X
Who somehow slipped up through the cracks
Oh they'd love to see me fall
But I'm already on my back

[Chorus:]
So it goes in one ear and right out the other
People talking shit but you know I never bother
It goes in one ear and right out the other
People talking shit, they can kiss the back of my hand

Now I know I'm not a saint
I've been a sinner all my life
I ain't tryin' to hide my flaws
I'd rather keep them in the light
They want to criticize, scrutinize
Cast another stone
Burn me at the stake
And sit and watch it from their throne

They say the devil is my pal
I do a lot of drugs
The crowd will only like me
If they're really fuckin' drunk
They think they know my thoughts
But they don't know the least
If they'd listen to the words
They'd find a message tucked beneath

[Chorus:]
But it goes in one ear, and right out the other,
People talkin’ shit, even though they never bother,
It goes in one ear, and right out the other,
People talkin’ shit, they can kiss the back of my hand!

You hear that?
You hear what's coming?
Oh, you better run for the hills
'Cause we're coming to your town
And we're gonna burn that motherfucker down

Here's the moral to the story
We don't do it for the glory
We don't do it for the money
We don't do it for the fame
So all the critics who despise us
Go ahead and criticize us
It's your tyranny that drives us
Adds the fire to our flames

And it goes in one ear and right out the other
People talking shit so you know we never bother
It goes in one ear and right out the other
I'm only playing music 'cause you know I fucking love it
It goes in one ear and right out the other
People talking shit but you know I never bother
It goes in one ear and right out the other
People talking shit, they can kiss the back of my hand

 

 

[spoiler=Resonance]

If the light of our connected souls points the way to the heart
Then can you hear something echoing louder than words now?

We hardly looked at each other but our destinies became intertwined
Our destinations are the same, run beside me through the contradictory night

Even if the light I chased too far
Continues on into a nightmare

If the light of our connected souls points the way to the heart
Then can you hear something echoing louder than words now?

I don't care why we met, the only thing I know for sure
Is that I fell under your spell and was wounded the moment we touched

Lies and disguises fill this twisted world, I want to see the dream's end
That will settle it once and for all and destroy it altogether

The hand I grab says I won't leave you
But it's too far from gentleness

I can promise everything because there's no tomorrow
How 'bout we put our faith in a promise that's better than yesterday?

If the light of our connected souls points the way to the heart
Then can you hear something echoing louder than words now?

I don't care why we met, the only thing I know for sure
Is that I fell under your spell and was wounded the moment we touched

"You see you wouldn't ask why the rose that grew from the concrete had damaged petals. On the contrary, we would all celebrate its tenacity. We would all love its will to reach the sun. Well, we are the rose - this is the concrete - and these are my damaged petals. Don't ask me why, thank God ni**a, ask me how! Hahahaha..."

The Good Book says we're all the same

 

Then we kill each other; but it's all in vain 

 

And we all to blame

[N.W. 3,619]

 

 

In a foreign field he lay
Lonely soldier, unknown grave
On his dying words he prays
Tell the world of Paschendale

Relive all that he's been through
Last communion of his soul
Rust your bullets with his tears
Let me tell you 'bout his years

Laying low in a blood filled trench
Kill time 'til my very own death
On my face I can feel the falling rain
Never see my friends again

In the smoke, in the mud and lead
Smell the fear and the feeling of dread
Soon be time to go over the wall
Rapid fire and end of us all

Whistles, shouts and more gun fire
Lifeless bodies hang on barbed wire
Battlefield nothing but a bloody tomb
Be reunited with my dead friends soon

Many soldiers eighteen years
Drown in mud, no more tears
Surely a war no-one can win
Killing time about to begin

Home, far away
From the war, a chance to live again
Home, far away
But the war, no chance to live again

The bodies of ours and our foes
The sea of death it overflows
In no man's land, God only knows
Into jaws of death we go

Crucified as if on a cross
Allied troops they mourn their loss
German war propaganda machine
Such before has never been seen

Swear I heard the angels cry
Pray to god no more may die
So that people know the truth
Tell the tale of Paschendale

Cruelty has a human heart
Every man does play his part
Terror of the men we kill
The human heart is hungry still

I stand my ground for the very last time
Gun is ready as I stand in line
Nervous wait for the whistle to blow
Rush of blood and over we go

Blood is falling like the rain
Its crimson cloak unveils again
The sound of guns can't hide their shame
And so we die on Paschendale

Dodging shrapnel and barbed wire
Running straight at cannon fire
Running blind as I hold my breath
Say a prayer symphony of death

As we charge the enemy lines
A burst of fire and we go down
I choke a cry but no-one hears
Feel the blood go down my throat

Home, far away
From the war, a chance to live again
Home, far away
But the war, no chance to live again

Home, far away
From the war, a chance to live again
Home, far away
But the war, no chance to live again

See my spirit on the wind
Across the lines, beyond the hill
Friend and foe will meet again
Those who died at Paschendale

 

 

 

 

 

Cozy place, but the streets await
Prints left by my boot
Stardust sits...
Right on my boots
A soft seat, a checkered plaid
A trigger not pulled in time
A sunny day
In dreams that blind

My blood type, pinned on my sleeve
And my number and rank, there on the sleeve
Wish me luck in the battles to come
Wish me , now, please
Not to lay there in the grass
Not to lay dead in the grass
Wish me luck in the battle
Wish me luck in... the battle

Yes I could pay, but I do not want
To win at any cost
I do not want
My boots on somebody's throat
I want to stay here with you
Simply stay here with you
But the star up high in the sky
Urges me forth

My blood type, pinned on my sleeve
And my number and rank, there on the sleeve
Wish me luck in the battles to come
Wish me , now, please
Not to lay there in the grass
Not to lay dead in the grass
Wish me luck in the battle
Wish me luck in... the battle

Of the way I'm drifting
Gloomily through time

Fall as snow flakes on your body 

First time in years 

To drench you skin with lover's rosy stain

A chance to find a phoenix for the flame

I can't even begin to list all of my favorite lyrics, so I'll just post a number of samples.

 

We are all that remains

Of a world in chaos broken by change

We are light in the dark

Calling out for something to spark

 

So we'll hide in the graphite

Deep inside the Earth

And wait for the fires to start

In your eyes

Move Into Light - Juventa feat. Erica Curran

 

You're not the only one who needed me I thought you understood
You were the one I needed and you left me as I always feared you would
Would I change it if I could?
It doesn't matter how
The petals scatter now
Every nightmare just discloses
It's your blood that's red like roses
And no matter what I do
Nothing ever takes the place of you

Red Like Roses Part II - Jeff Williams feat. Casey Lee Williams

 

So I'll stay unforgiven

And I'll keep love together

And I'll be yours forever

I'll sleep close to heaven

Close To Heaven - Breaking Benjamin

 

Hark my hallowed favors now

To my will you shall bow

The stars are part of name

And I will not bring me shame

Crying out to the moon

And with her I attune

Singing out with the sun

And with her I am done

You will see who I am

A true princess deep within

My magic knows me better

This is my final letter.

Frailty - PrinceWhateverer feat. DreamChan

[redaxted 1,765]

 

A warning, to the people

The good and, the evil

This...is...war

To the soldier, the civillian

The martyr, the victim

This...is...war

 

A warning to the prophet, the liar, the honest

This...is...war

OH! To the leader, the pariah! The victim, the messiah!

This...is...WAAAR!

That's one of my favourite songs!

I'd say the lyrics to the song "Larger Than Life" by Pinkzebra. They're so uplifting, and fit with the happy and catchy beat so well. They're just so well written, too. Here's the video, it has lyrics with it: http://youtu.be/LfJnmKre5D0

I'll also add that there are so many Fall Out Boy and My Chemical Romance songs with amazing lyrics (whether they be meaningful or dark). The lyrics in my signature (as of editing this post) are "sometimes before it gets better, the darkness gets bigger", which I think is true and something I must try to always remember.

Both these songs I just love.

 

 

 

 

Karavan

You can never get used to the silence
At war, at war, at war
Silence is only a lie, just a lie
On a twisted path
In a stranger's land
We set out for a caravan

A caravan is the joy of victory and the pain of loss,
Caravan, I'm waiting to encounter you again
Caravan, and Afghanistan turns rosy with blood
Caravan, Caravan, Caravan

You can never get used to a civvie life
Over there, it's all clear, there's a friend and a foe
But here, it's hard to see the souls of people
Through the fog
Such a pity he's not here any more,
The good friend of mine,
He was taken by the caravan for good

The caravan is a flask of water
And without it, you're dead
The caravan, it means you CAN
Caravan, Caravan, Caravan

You can never get used to not having your shoulder
Weighed down by the AKM
To roadside bushes not being mined,
There are no mujahidin gangs here
But somewhere over there,
In my footsteps,
Someone's storming the caravan again.

The caravan is hundreds of shells
That never hit their target
The caravan is salt on your face
The caravan. The third toast will be silence...
For some sink, some swim.
Caravan, caravan, caravan.

Though I cannot seem to find the lyrics to Swallow dust, I did have them at some point in time.
