Wood Dragon 1988 Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 What a great thread! Off the top of my head, here are a few of mine: "If dreams are like movies than memories are films about ghosts." Mrs. Potter's Lullabye by Counting Crows "Life is too short so love the one you got cuz you might get run over or you might get shot" What I got by Sublime "when the broken hearted people living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be. For though they may be parted there is still a chance that they will see, there will be an answer. let it be." Let it Be by the Beatles "But the girl in the car in the parking lot Says "Man you should try to take a shot Can't you see my walls are crumbling?" Then she looks up at the building Says she's thinking of jumping She says she's tired of life She must be (We're all) tired of something" Round Here by Counting Crows "I wish I could get my head out of the sand 'Cause I think we'd make a good team And you would keep my fingernails clean But that's just a stupid dream that I won't realize 'Cause I can't even look in your eyes without shaking and I ain't faking I'll bring home the turkey if you bring home the bacon" El Scorcho by Weezer "Well there ain't nothin wrong with the way she moves. Scarlet Begonias and a touch of the blues" Scarlet Begonias by Greatful Dead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Across_the_Universe Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 Little Lion Man by Mumford and Sons is currently my favorite song, Weep for yourself, my man, You'll never be what is in your heart Weep, little lion man, You're not as brave as you were at the start Rate yourself and rake yourself Take all the courage you have left Wasted on fixing all the problems that you made in your own head But it was not your fault but mine And it was your heart on the line I really f**ked it up this time Didn't I, my dear? Didn't I, my dear? Tremble for yourself, my man, You know that you have seen this all before Tremble, little lion man, You'll never settle any of your scores Your grace is wasted in your face, Your boldness stands alone among the wreck Now learn from your mother or else spend your days biting your own neck But it was not your fault but mine And it was your heart on the line I really f**ked it up this time Didn't I, my dear?

harper83087 Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 Ok, I feel I should let you know that music is one of my “Chatty Kathy” buttons, along with coasters and hockey. I can talk for days, weeks, and maybe even years about music and never get tired of it. So if you have a minute please read this rant since I’m bored and have nothing better to do today haha. Being a poet/lyricist myself I can’t pick just one favorite lyric, but I can say a few of the writers that truly inspire me. First is Corey Taylor of Stone Sour and Slipknot (and true fans know he formed Audacious P, a Tenacious D cover band ). His style perfectly co-mingles anger and happiness, hate and love, envy and lust. He pours every last bit of emotion and then some into the words he spills onto the paper, and usually goes to that emotion when singing it. Those of you familiar with Slipknot’s “Snuff” know what an emotional song that is, and if you’ve seen the making of for that video you see Corey literally break down crying after filming the scene where he shatters the glass in his hands. Slipknot – “Snuff” So break yourself against my stones And spit your pity in my soul You never needed any help You sold me out to save yourself And I won't listen to your shame You ran away - you're all the same Angels lie to keep control... My love was punished long ago If you still care, don't ever let me know If you still care, don't ever let me know... Another good example of Corey’s writing is Stone Sour’s “Miracles”, which is a back and forth between himself and his inner self trying to understand why this un-named person is gone. What he did, what they did, to get to this point of needing a miracle to fix things. These two examples only show the sadder side of his writings, he has many more examples of anger, confusion, love, etc. but I don’t want to ramble on too much. Stone Sour – “Miracles” I've seen it all and I know better - I've felt the bitterness and pain My soul keeps changing like the weather - the only constant is the rain I've known your black and white intentions and there's no room for shades of gray I never asked you to conform to me... I only begged for you to stay My next major influence is going to have to be Neil Peart of Rush. This man has literally been to hell and back and managed to find ways to document his travels. For those of you who don’t know, Neil had a very tragic few years in the mid to late 90’s. His daughter, his only child, was on her way to her first year of college and was in a car accident resulting in a tragic end to her very young life. This took a toll on both he and his wife obviously, but it seemed to hit his wife more. She went into a severe depression and never returned. Six months after the loss of his daughter, his wife passed from cancer. To this day he believes her passing wasn’t the cancer spreading throughout her body, but the depression devouring everything she knew and loved leaving her not wanting any reason to live. This sent Neil spiraling out of control, questioning why he was still on this Earth and searching for a reason to live. He spent 14 months travelling North America by motorcycle in search of this reason. Music was one of the reasons he found. I HIGHLY suggest reading his book about these travels (or any of his books for that matter, they are all very, very good) called “Ghost Rider”, and my first set of lyrics comes from the song of the same name off of the Vapor Trails album. Rush – “Ghost Rider” Just an escape artist Racing against the night A wandering hermit Racing toward the light Neil has a way of describing things in ways that shouldn’t fit into songs. His vocabulary is so vast that I find myself learning new words almost every time I study his material. The way he can explain things that many people take for granted with words that nobody uses fascinates me. But he also has a way of making things so simple it’s almost moronic. His outlook on life is simple, we are here because we are here and we just need to take the chances and learn from the mistakes. “Roll the Bones” is one of my favorite songs by Rush. Rush – “Roll the Bones” Why are we here? Because we're here Roll the bones Why does it happen? Because it happens Roll the bones I’m a huge fan of “New Rush”, as I’ve heard it described. The newer, more rock n’ roll, style of albums like “Test for Echo” and “Vapor Trails” catches my interest every time I listen. This of course is breaking away from the progressive rock that brought them fame with albums like “A Farewell to Kings” and the infamous “2112” with epic 10+ minute songs and long stories told over the course of the album. My favorite of the older lyrics is “Discovery” from 2112. What can this strange device be? When I touch it, it gives forth a sound It's got wires that vibrate and give music What can this thing be that I found? See how it sings like a sad heart And joyously screams out its pain Sounds that build high like a mountain Or notes that fall gently like rain I can't wait to share this new wonder The people will all see its light Let them all make their own music The Priests praise my name on this night This to me is what true music and writing should be about. To me you shouldn’t be able to get fame and fortune because you have a pretty face and can play a catchy song somebody else wrote. You should have to earn respect by pouring your heart and soul into every song you write and allowing people to see your emotions, both in your writing and in the notes you put together in song. Now I understand the idea behind pop music and admittedly I’m a sucker for some good radio rock but music can be so much more. Sully Erna, singer/guitarist/lyricist for Godsmack, describes it best on his solo album “Avalon”. On the inside cover of the album is a few paragraphs of his description of what music means to him. To paraphrase it, music is unknown. We don’t know why it affects us the way it does. We don’t know why the minor chords sound sad and the major chords sound happy. We simply do not know. What is known is the emotion felt with every note. Music has a way of describing things that cannot be put into words. This is why classical music like Bach, Beethoven, Wagner, and the rest are able to take you on this journey of every emotion possible. You’re not sure why you’re feeling a certain way when listening to a certain song but you know you feel it. Lyrics have the ability add to this emotion leaving you with 2+ minutes of sheer musical bliss. My love of lyrics, if done correctly, is they can be so specific yet so broad at the same time. To me if somebody can relate to my lyrics then I’ve done my job. 99% of what I’ve written comes from personal experience and situations I’ve been in, but I like to word them so that hopefully everyone can relate to them in one way or another. Music to me is beautiful. Lyrics and poems to me are beautiful. Personally I believe that if more people took a moment to actually look into what music truly is then the world would be a happier place. Music is the one thing that can tie any race, religion, ethnicity, country, state, gender, and so many more categories together simply because we all feel it the same way.

accelerate Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 For Real-Okkerville River Some nights I thirst for real blood For real knives For real cries And then the flash of steel from real guns In real life Really fills my mind And I really miss what really did exist When I held your throat so tight And I miss the bus as it swerved from us Almost came crashing to its side Sometimes the blood from real cuts Feels real nice When it's really mine And if you want it to be real Come over for one night And we can really, really climb And those blue bridge lights might really burn most bright As we watch that dark lake rise And if you really want to see what really matters most to me Just take a real short drive It's just a drive into the dark stretch Long stretch of night Will really stretch this shaking mind And this room, unlit, unheated And the ceiling striped And the dark black blinds I want to know this time if you’re really finally mine I need to know that you're not lying so I want to see you tried And I don't want to hear you say it shouldn’t really be this way 'Cause I like this way just fine 'Cause there’s nothing quite like the blinding light That curtains cast aside And no attempt is made to explain away The things that really, really, really, really, really are behind You can't hide You can't hide You can't hide You can't hide You can't hide You can't hide Okkerville River literally tried to see how many times they could use the word "real" in one song and still be coherent. And thus you get this absolute masterpiece. Simply amazing. Indie rock is not dead. Also, thumbs up for Little Lion Man! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

accelerate Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 Cruel Cruel World - Prozzak I saw you standing there I've seen your face before You don't know who I am But I could give you more You're laughing with your friends You tell them you're in love But you're not fooling me The joke is on yourself It's a cruel, cruel world When you're on your own It's a cold, cold heart That could turn you down It's a cruel, cruel world When you're on your own If you need a friend I could be the one But you don't know me Not at all I looked for you today You're nowhere to be found I wonder if you're okay There's something going 'round Maybe you moved away You looked a little down When I saw you last Sunday When I didn't make a sound It's a cruel, cruel world When you're on your own It's a cold, cold heart That could turn you down It's a cruel, cruel world When you're on your own If you need a friend I could be the one But you don't know me Not at all Seriously amazing lyrics. Kind of a depressing song, though. My interpretation is that Simon (the singer) is secretly in love with a girl, and secretly, she loves him too. Neither of them speak up to each other, and one day, she is gone. This song is a remorse about his decisions; or maybe even a letter asking her to come back.

Tanks4me05 Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Song: Roter Sand (Eng: Red Sand) Artist: Rammstein Eine Liebe, ein Versprechen, sagt’ ich komm’ zurück zu dir. Nun, ich muss es leider brechen, seine Kugel steckt in mir. Eine Liebe, zwei Pistolen, eine zielt mir ins Gesicht. Er sagt ich hätte dich gestolen, dass du mich liebst, weiß er nicht. Roter Sand und zwei Patronen, eine stirbt im Pulverkuss. Die zweite sollt’ ihr Ziel nicht schonen, steckt jetzt tief in meiner Brust. Eine Liebe, ein Versprechen, ach das Blut läuft aus dem Mund. Und keiner wird mich rächen, sinnlos gehe ich zu Grund. Eine Liebe, zwei Pistolen, einer konnte schneller ziehen. Nun, ich bin es nicht gewesen, jetzt, gehörst du Ihm. Roter Sand und zwei Patronen, eine stirbt im Pulverkuss. Die zweite sollt’ ihr Ziel nicht schonen, steckt jetzt tief in meiner Brust. Roter Sand und weiße Tauben laben sich an meinem Blut. Am Ende gibt es doch ein Ende, bin ich doch zu etwas gut. Roter Sand und zwei Patronen, eine stirbt im Pulverkuss. Die zweite sollt’ ihr Ziel nicht schonen, steck jetzt tief in meiner Brust. For those who only speak English (not translated literally, some changes were made due to differing grammatical structures between English and German.) One love, one promise, I said I'd come back to you. Well, unfortunately, I must break it, his bullet sticks in me. One love, two pistols, one points in my face. He said I have stolen you, he doesn't know that you love me. Red sand and two rounds, one dies in gunpowder's kiss. The second which didn't spare its target, now sticks deep in my chest. One love, one promise, oh the blood runs from my mouth. And no one will avenge me, senselessly I'm perishing. One love, two pistols, one could have pulled faster. Well, it wasn't me, now you belong to him. Red sand and two rounds, one dies in gunpowder's kiss. The second which didn't spare its target, now sticks deep in my chest. Red sand and white doves restore themselves in my blood. At the end is there but an end. Finally, I'm good for something. Red sand and two rounds, one dies in gunpowder's kiss. The second which didn't spare its target, now sticks deep in my chest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"You put my back agaist the wall Watching, waiting You never thought I'd get this far Beneath your skin I watched you swim with all your lies That pulled you under And as you wait for my demise I'm just getting stronger Learning who you really are And nothing can save you I will fight until the end Get ready to collide And I will watch you fall again I'll bury you alive You try to bring me to my knees Trying to take it all Now I will stand and watch you crawl I'll put you back where you belong Hopeless, fading And I will rise while you become the monster you have fed I'll let you drown in your despair And now nothing can save you I will fight until the end Get ready to collide And I will watch you fall again I'll bury you alive You try to being me to my knees Trying to take it all Now I will stand and watch you crawl I'm still here Now I watch you beg I will fight until the end Get ready to collide And I will watch you fall again I'll bury you alive You try to bring me to my knees Trying to take it all Now I will stand and watch you crawl" Watch You Crawl by Red Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Through the fear and fire Past love and lust for gold Within the darkest hour There is still hope And in the dead of night Out somewhere in the sky The sun will always shine Burning with hope And it will never ever go away After all their lies And how it haunted me And what they made me be There was still hope Following the wind To make it possible Deep down I knew That's what I'll do 'Cause it will never ever go away When all is dead You're feeling mislead Just let it go, let it go away Words they said Have gone to your head Just let it go away Through the fear and fire Past love and lust for gold Within the darkest hour There is still hope That you'll come back to me And you would never ever go away When all is dead You're feeling mislead Just let it go, let it go away Words they said Have gone to your head Just let it go away Now feel my heart it's racing Carrying the flame All my bones are aching I'll never be the same Climbing up the endless Learn to be your own Drums sounding like thunder Bring the boys back home I've been addicted to this song for like a week....

Masquerade Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 How about a 23 minute song? I. The Crimson Sunrise(Instrumental) II. Innocence I remember a time My frail, virgin mind watched the crimson sunrise Imagined what it might find Life was filled with wonder I felt the warm wind blow I must explore the boundaries Transcend the depth of winter's snow Innocence caressing me I never felt so young before There was so much life in me Still I longed to search for more But those days are gone now Changed like a leaf on a tree Blown away forever into the cool autumn breeze The snow has now fallen and my sun's not so bright I struggle to hold on with the last of my might In my den of inequity viciousness and subtlety struggle to ease the pain struggle to find the sane Ignorance surrounding me I've never been so filled with fear All my life's been drained from me The end is drawing near.... III. Carpe Diem 'Carpe diem, seize the day' I'll always remember The chill of November The news of the fall The sounds in the hall The clock on the wall ticking away 'Seize the Day' I heard him say Life will not always be this way Look around Hear the sounds Cherish your life while you're still around "Gather ye rosebuds while ye may, Old Time is still a-flying; And this same flower that smiles today, Tomorrow will be dying." We can learn from the past But those days are gone We can hope for the future But there may not be one The words stuck in my mind alive from what I've learned I have to seize the day To home I returned Preparing for her flight I held with all my might Fearing my deepest fright She walked into the night She turned for one last look She looked me in the eye I said, 'I Love You...Good-bye' "It's the most awful thing you'll ever hear." "If you're lying to me..." "Oh, you dearly love her." "...just have to leave... all our lives." "Seize the day!" "Something happened. "Gather ye rosebuds while ye may." "She was killed." IV. The Darkest of Winters (Instrumental) V. Another World So far or so it seems All is lost with nothing fulfilled Off the pages and a T.V. screen Another world where nothing's true Tripping through the life fantastic Lose a step and never get up Left alone with a cold blank stare I feel like giving up I was blinded by a paradise Utopia high in the sky A dream that only drowned me Deep in sorrow, wondering why Oh come let us adore him Abuse and then ignore him No matter what, don't let him be Let's feed upon his misery Then string him up for all the world to see I'm sick of all you hypocrites holding me at bay And I don't need your sympathy to get me through the day Seasons change and so can I Hold on boy, No time to cry Untie these strings, I'm climbing down I won't let them push me away Oh come let us adore him Abuse and then ignore him No matter what, don't let him be Let's feed upon his misery Now it's time for them to deal with me VI. The Inevitable Summer (Instrumental) VII. The Crimson Sunset I'm much wiser now A lifetime of memories run through my head They taught me how for better or worse, alive or dead I realize there's no turning back Life goes on the offbeaten track I sit down with my son Set to see the Crimson Sunset (Gather ye rosebuds while ye may) Many years have come and gone I've lived my life, but now must move on (Gather ye rosebuds while ye may) He is my only one Now that my time has come Now that my life is done We look into the sun 'Seize the day and don't you cry, Now it's time to say good-bye Even though I'll be gone, I will live on, live on.' "A Change of Seasons" by Dream Theater. The most life affirming song I've ever come by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
