Lyrics

All of us here seem to be really into music, so in saying that I'm sure most of you have some lyrics that are either extremely meaningful to you, or just general favourite lines.

Post Below...

For me, a lot of Incubus songs are fantastic at describing how i feel...
currently, the song that's summing me up is Monuments & Melodies - Incubus

Lyrics below...

My hands are trembling
And my eyes are on fire
This house is crumbling
Left brain, left out, on the wire

You make me happy
You magnify my better half
You make me certain
Though all I have today is your photograph

My past is perilous
But each scar I bear sings
Monuments to where I have been
And melodies to where I am going

You make me happy
You magnify my better half
You make me certain
Though all I have today is your photograph

When will I see you again?
Still-life can only go so far
I need you in front of me
Saying my name
Saying to me...
"I want you the way you are
You, the way you are"

You make me happy
You magnify my better half
You make me certain
Though all I have today is your photograph
You make me happy

Granted I did only mean to post a few lyrics, but the whole song sums me up perfectly atm.

The lyrics are about me, right Sarah?

er... maybe.

"I kissed a girl & I liked it"

dedicated to Aisah. Lulz!

Another one, this one goes hand in and with Monuments and Melodies...

Birds of Tokyo - Train Wrecks.
(not the complete lyrics either)

be my mistake
be my favourite place
as cold as your heart is
here in the middle

stay another day
stay another day

pull back at the seam
expose all i've seen
there's no way to hide it
there's no new surprises

stay another day
stay another day

and you ruin me with the easiest touch
tear my world apart
now enough is enough
i've been up most of the night
now my head's like a train wreck
one more time

let's all assume i'm going mad
and the truth it is i'm unstable man
there's no way to reason
no one's on my side

go back to the streets
of illusions and dreams
where things were so honest
where we had our moments

stay another day
stay another day

[change "man" to "woman" in there and thats me alright.]

As Adam Brooks' best friend, I think that gives me the right to post the meaningful lyrics he would post if he was online.

"Regurgitator - I Sucked A Lot Of Cock To Get Where I Am lyrics

i sucked a lot of cock to get where i am
i only want to be the best that i can
my mouth is stained i can't complain
i keep on rinsing it again and again

whoa-oh whoa whoa yeah-eah-eah-eah
whoa whoa yeah-eah-eah-eah
whoa-oh whoa whoa yeah-eah-eah-eah
whoa yeah-eah-eah

take a look at me
tell me what do you see?
i've got all i want
i'm on top of the heap
now they suck up to me
i sucked more cock
you can get what you need
just get down on your knees

you've sucked a lot of cock to get where you are
your smile is stretching but you're gonna go far
your life is pain you can't complain
you keep on rinsing it again and again

i know i know-whoa-oh-oh-oh
i sucked a lot of cock to get where i am
i know i know-whoa-oh-oh-oh
i only wanna be the best that i can"

That honestly does not surprise me one bit.

Also, Gay Bar - Electric Six would probably be one for him

Oh most definately.
Its funny because it was actually Adam that showed me that Regurgitator song.
& I've heard it playing in his car on several occasions.

he likes it in and around his mouth. and i'm not talking about the song.

Ah, I got another.

Incubus - Anna Molly.

A cloud hangs over this city by the sea,
I watch the ships pass and wonder if she might be,
Out there and sober as well from loneliness,
Please do persist girl it's time we met and made a mess

I picture your face at the back of my eyes,
A fire in the attic, proof of the prize!
Anna Molly, Anna Molly, Anna Molly,

A cloud hangs over and mutes my happiness,
A thousand ships couldn't sail me back from distress,
Wish you were here, I'm a wounded satellite,
I need you now, put me back together, make me right

I picture your face at the back of my eyes,
A fire in the attic, proof of the prize!
Anna Molly, Anna Molly, Anna Molly,
I'm calling your name up into the air,
Not one of the others could ever compare,
Anna Molly, Anna Molly!

Wait... there is a light... there is a fire...
Illuminated attic,
Fate? Or something better? I couldn't care less,
Just stay with me a while,
Wait... there is a light... there is a fire,
Defragmenting the attic,
Fate? Or something better? I couldn't care less,
Just stay with me a while

I picture your face at the back of my eyes,
A fire in the attic, proof of the prize!
Anna Molly, Anna Molly, Anna Molly,
I'm calling your name up into the air,
Not one of the others could ever compare,
Anna Molly, Anna Molly!

Wait... there is a light... there is a fire
Defragmenting the attic,
Fate? Or something better? I could care less,
Just stay with me a while


just er, change "girl" to "boy"

T-Pain - im in luv wit a stripper sums me up right now pretty good


seriously, These songs have some awesome lyrics to chill to,
Three Days Grace - Never to Late,
The Butterfly Effect - Before they knew
Saliva - Open Eyes (this one gives me chills)
Live - The Dolphins Cry

Before they knew is a killer song!

Jems version of 'Maybe I'm amazed' related to me and the happiest 2 and half years of my life.

"Maybe I'm amazed at the way you love me all the time
Maybe I'm afraid of the way I love you
Maybe I'm amazed at the way you pulled me out of time
and hung me on a line
Maybe I'm amazed at the way I really need you

Maybe I'm a girl and maybe I'm a lonely girl
who's in the middle of something
that she doesn't really understand

Maybe I'm a girl and maybe you're the only man
who could ever help me
Baby, won't you help me understand

Maybe I'm amazed at the way you're with me all the time
Maybe I'm afraid of the way I leave you
Maybe I'm amazed at the way you help me sing my song
Right me when I'm wrong
Maybe I'm amazed at the way I really need you"


Now it feels like I was listening to the best song in the world, and I'm really disappointed and upset thats its finished, because I wasn't ready for it to end. I'm not ready for the next song to start playing. I just want to listen to the first song over & over again.

Lol. Now, this song title might be a bit much, but..
'Good to Know That if I Ever Need Attention, All I Have To Do Is Die' - Brand New.

' Am I correct to defend the fist that holds this pen?
It's ink that lies, the pen, the page, the paper
I live, I learn you will always take what I have earned
And so aid my end while I believe I'm winning

Our friends speak out in our defense
Pay ten deaf ears for two months rent
We burn the gallows they erect
And cut the nooses they tie for our necks

You constantly make it impossible to make conversation
We're comatose but audible
But I liked it the farther I get out
We passed it off, but it's all on us
Well common conversation, it took everything I got
And I liked it the farther I get out

Once said always said
I will hold the past over your head
I'll speak my mind whenever I feel slighted
I am hellbent on extracting all of my revenge
So take heart, sweetheart
Or I will take it from you

I slip concealed back to the keep
Concede to do the work for free
We prey as wolves among the sheep
And slit the necks of soldiers while they sleep

You constantly make it impossible to make conversation
We're comatose but audible
And I liked it the farther I get out
We passed it off, but it's all on us
Well common conversation, it took everything I got
And I like it the farther I get out

You constantly make it impossible to make conversation
We're comatose but audible
And I liked it the farther I get out
We passed it off, but it's all on us
Well common conversation, it took everything I got
And I like it the farther I get out'

Faultless - Paper Street Sound Company (Now Known as RooK)

Without even breathing a word,
Just a second before I made a move,
I may have taken control...

Let me helplessly know where to stand,
But you knew it,
No you did,
But you gotta choose.

Can't you see what you've done to me,
Took my heart from my head
And through my eyes,
You made me believe.

So where do we go to from here?
I'm helpless,
I'm lost,
I'm alone
And I'm fucking scared.

You didn't ask this of me,
You decided and that was the end
And now I'm more, I'm in debt
We're more than just friends.

Can't you see what you've done to me?
Took my heart from my head,
Through my eyes you made me feel free,

Can't you see what I've failed to be?
Took my soul by the hand,
In the war you let me be free
You freed me.

It's not your fault.
It's not your fault.
It's not your fault.
It's not your fault.

Take me back,
Unfree me.

It's not your fault.
It's not your fault.
It's not your fault.
It's not your fault.

You set me free,
Unwanted me...

these lyrics could be totally wrong. it's just what i got from the old stop start method of getting lyrics. Their EP wasn't of great quality and Forbe's voice can be a little hard to understand at times but I guess what I've got here makes some sense.

Hopefully they're pretty accurate

It really is an amazing and incredibly powerful song...

wow. majority of my "meaningful" song choices are related to love.

So are mine, in a heartbroken kinda way too.

'Tell That Mick He Just Made My List Of Things To Do Today' - Fall Out Boy

'Light that smoke, yeah, one for giving up on me
And one just cause they’ll kill you sooner than my expectations
To my favorite liar, to my favorite scar (to my favorite scar):
“I could have died with you”
I hope you choke on those words, that kiss, that bottle - confess (So bury me in memory)
Now ash yourself, yeah, out on the insides, said I loved you but I lied

Let’s play this game called “when you catch fire”
I wouldn’t piss to put you out
Stop burning bridges and drive off of them
So I can forget about you

So bury me in memory
His smile’s your rope
So wrap it tight around your throat

On the drive home
Joke about the kid you used to see
And his jealousy
Breaking hearts has never looked so cool
As when you wrap your car around a tree
Your makeup looks so great next to his teeth (his teeth)

Let’s play this game called “when you catch fire”
I wouldn’t piss to put you out, no
Stop burning bridges and drive off of them
So I can forget about you

So bury me in memory
His smile’s your rope
So wrap it tight around your throat
[x2]

So bury me in memory around your throat'

I find i relate to Particular past of lyrics;

Get Stoned - Hinder;
"Just hear me out
If it's not perfect I'll perfect it till my heart explodes
I highly doubt
I can make it through another of your episodes
Lashing out
One of the petty moves you pull before you lose control
You wear me out
But it's all right now
Lets go home and get stoned"



Long Way to Happy - Pink;

"One night to you
Lasted six weeks for me
Just a bitter little pill now
Just to try to go to sleep
No more waking up to innocence
Say hello to hesitance
To everyone I meet
Thanks to you years ago
I guess I'll never know
What love means to me but oh
I'll keep on rolling down this road
But I've got a bad, bad feeling

It's gonna take a long time to love
It's gonna take a lot to hold on
It's gonna be a long way to happy, yeah
Left in the pieces that you broke me into
Torn apart but now I've got to
Keep on rolling like a stone
Cause it's gonna be a long long way to happy

Left my childhood behind
In a roll away bed
Everything was so damn simple
Now I'm losing my head
Trying to cover up the damage
And pad out all the bruises
Too young to know i had it
So it didn't hurt to lose it
Didn't hurt to lose it
No but oh
I'll keep on rolling down this road
But I've got a bad, bad feeling

It's gonna take a long time to love
It's gonna take a lot to hold on
It's gonna be a long way to happy, yeah
Left in the pieces that you broke me into
Torn apart but now I've got to
Keep on rolling like a stone
Cause it's gonna be a long long way

Now I'm numb as hell and I can't feel a thing
But don't worry about regret or guilt cause I never knew your name
I just want to thank you
Thank you
From the bottom of my heart
For all the sleepless nights
And for tearing me apart"


Brat Pack - Rocket Summer;

"For about four years I’ve hated this town
Yeah, so much I just wanna get out
Since graduation was long ago
Please somebody get me out of this hole
Cause I don’t want to get stuck in here
When I am thirty-four just talkin' 'bout high school years
No I don’t wanna be there, and feel so stuck right here
Back and forth, side to side, oh my dear

My foot to the floor I will drive to the place
Where I can kick it with friends through the night
A place we'll talk about now and the past what the future holds
Hanging out with not much to do
Just aimless with each other - is what we do

Cause this ain’t where it’s at
My friends will second that
And I gotta admit sometimes it’s pretty sad
But it's like were our own brat pack
We're always kickin back nobody can take that
And that is that it’s like its all we have

Whoa! Whoa!

Come on say "Oh! Oh! Get on the floor!
Dance 'till you got no more!"
I know its there somewhere
Don’t worry I'll be there to rock the party all night
To rock it 'til there's light our fists in the air
Fightin' the good fight
Cause' we were singing along to Peter Gabriel's "sledgehammer" song
You know it’s clear that tonight we belong in this place
So I step back to reflect in this town I hate
And at least just for a second I think I might stay"


And much more Ill post later.

The name of the band, is it meant to be "Paper Street Sound Company"? If so, I love any and all Fight Club references lol. =]
The lyrics arnt bad eiether...

yeah it is, i just can't spell.

Oh I can't believe I didn't think of this one...

It's perfect.

THE BUTTERFLY EFFECT - Reach [From the Album "IMAGO"]

Last night I dreamt I held you with me,
Close enough to feel you breathe.
When I awoke I lay here empty,
Caught between the want and need.

Now in the darkness I am only,
Thoughtful hopes and pieces mind.
These dreams are all I've ever wanted,
Found behind the closing eyes.

How long we've been trying to reach you,
We all fall down like this sometimes.
Trying to reach you,
I'm trying...

Last night I dreamt I had you with me,
Closer still to see you leave,
When I awoke the fear of lonely,
Gripped my heart in conscious sleep.

Now in the darkness I lay empty,
Hollow beaten like a drum.
Still water cages I am hoping,
In these dreams to me you'll come.

How long we've been trying to reach you,
We all fall down like this sometimes.
Trying to reach you,
I'm trying...

These fields alive, with fire and ashes.
Inside these fields we'll find oceans of ashes.
When all your dreams have died,
I don't want to die.

Just keeping holding my hand,
Because i'm trying to reach you.
I'm never letting you go,
Because i'm dying to keep you.

I'm trying...

I'm walking through your fields,
Of broken flowers.
They fall upon my face like tears for hours,
If all we are we are,
If all we are we are.
To wake and call your name,
In the tiny hours,
We all fall down...

perfect, perfect, perfect...

Some random favourite lyrics.

Incubus - Pardon Me; "i've had enough of the world, and it's peoples mindless games"
Incubus - Warning; "I suggest we learn to love ourselves before it's made illegal. When will we learn? When will we change? Just in time to see it all come down..."

i'll add more later.

I like smyrics!

Hmm.. since I've only posted heartbreaking love songs, here's a nice one for you all to enjoy.

'A Walk Through Hell' - Say Anything.

-Ahem-

'One.. Two.. Three..

'And if I could swim, I'd swim out to you in the ocean,
Swim out to where you were floating in the dark.
And if I was blessed, I'd walk on the water you're breathing,
To lend you some air for that heaving, sunken chest.

'Cause they chose you as the model for their empty little dreams,
With your new head and your legs spread like a filthy magazine.
And they hunt you, and they gut you, and you give in.

And if I was brave, I'd climb up to you on the mountain,
They led you to drink from their fountain spouting lies.
And I'd slay the horrible beast they commissioned
To steer me away from my mission to your eyes.
And I'd stand there, like a soldier, with my foot upon his chest,
With my grin spread, and my arms out, in my bloodstained Sunday's best,
And you'd hold me; I'd remind you who you are under their shell.

I'd walk through hell for you, let it burn right through my shoes
These soles are useless without you
Through hell for you, let the torturing ensue;
My soul is useless without you...

And if they send a whirlwind, I'd hug it like a harmless little tree.
Or an earthquake, I'd calm it, and I'd bring you back to me.
And I'd hold you in my weak arms like a first born.

I'd walk through hell for you, let it burn right through my shoes,
These soles are useless without you
Through hell for you, let the torturing ensue;
My soul is usless without you...

Through hell for you
Through hell for you
Without you, without you...

Now I've walked through hell for you.
What's an adventurer to do,
But rest these feet at home with you?'

I think I'm awesome.

Here's another nice one


'Brothers' - Brand New.

So the air's getting colder
And the news keeps us scared
We still wrestle this summer
From the bones of our tired and blistered hands
'Cause tonight we got drinks
And just a couple of friends
And the girl that my brother likes is finally talking to him
And his chest is all swelled like he's proud and happy
Like he's got a great idea
Like he's making a memory
Wake up and come out to the car
There's an east swell coming
And it's howling off shore and we'll be
Lying like lions out in the sands
But I'll be dead before you put a gun in my brother's hands
So we make jokes back at home
And we lighten the mood
But growing up my parents saw
What sending a kid to fight can really do
Now with the war I can tell they're a little shook up
'Cause just a few mother's sons will never really be enough
Not 'til half of our names are etched out in a wall
And the other half ruined from the things we saw
Wake up and come out to the car
There's an east swell coming
And it's howling off shore and we'll be
Lying like lions out in the sands
But I'll be dead before you put a gun in my brother's hands
Wake up and come out to the car
There's an east swell coming
And it's howling off shore and we'll be
Lying like lions out in the sands
But I'll be dead before you put a gun in my brother's hands'

Someone should stop me before I post 200000000 songs..
