Simsm Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 Post your favorite song lyrics here! This is a fun way for people to discover new music. Listing the artist and song name would be appreciated! Upholding the Veneer of a Lesser Estate by Cipher Open your eyes, still heavy and inflamed by late night television and tears;Tears you attribute to lack of sleep, while ignoring your soul sick weariness.Stretch out your hands, still crippled and burnt from keyboards and cigarettes;Cigarettes filled with tobacco, that out of mere historical curiosity, you wonder how would have burned, if harvested by slaves.How sweet cane, cut by a nubile wench, would have tasted.How soft to the touch cotton, picked by a strong buck, would have felt.How effective indigo dye of yesteryear, would be at disguising your inadequacies.How fulfilling it would be to reclaim land still damp with the blood of first nations.Imagine all this while we fuel wars with beautiful diamonds and kill infants with horrible ignorance.A 500 year, harvest of catholic church green-housed, white-supremacist- manicured new growth patriarchs.Rotten five century fruit betrays its genetically modified, socially engineered design.Hurry, hurry, faster. We haven't much time. We're still vomiting salt so our bodies can come home.We're still walking on water, aided by the buoyant remains of our brethren.We appear like messiahs, but from below we stand hollow on the still rotting corpse of inherited shame. Come, woman.Show no deference to vacant effigies.Place this mirror-womb to the face of humanity and betray god-head proffered mythologies.Come, man.Burn your conscience.Burn it slowly.Betray us never again.Hurry.Hurry.Time is running out.Come, Child.Kill if you have to.We will burden you no more.Come, child. Bring this world to its implosive end.The time has come. This is the harbinger of a new age. We are the children of God's fire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yoshi Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 (edited) Evanescence - Sweet sacrificeIt's true, we're all a little insane.But it's so clear,Now that I'm unchained.Fear is only in our minds,Taking over all the time.Fear is only in our mindsbut it's taking over all the time.You poor sweet innocent thing.Dry your eyes and testify.You know you live to break me.Don't deny sweet sacrifice.One dayI'm gonna forget your name,And one sweet day,you're gonna drown in my lost pain.Fear is only in our minds,Taking over all the time.Fear is only in our mindsbut it's taking over all the time.You poor sweet innocent thing.Dry your eyes and testify.And oh you love to hate me, don't you, honey?I'm your sacrifice.(I dream in darknessI sleep to die,Erase the silence,Erase my life.)Do you wonder why you hate? (Our burning ashes,Blacken the day)Are you still too weak to survive your mistakes? (A world of nothingness,Blow me away.)You poor sweet innocent thing.Dry your eyes and testify.You know you live to break me.Don't deny.Sweet sacrifice.

Gotakibono Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 Lyrically, few artists compare to Bob Dylan; I'd go as far to say that he's peerless in the field. A subtle example can be found in his Oscar-winning track 'Things Have Changed', in which he states, "The next sixty seconds could be like an eternity." He sings this with exactly sixty seconds left in the song - plus the rest of the song is full of sublime imagery, metaphors, similes and essentially the unparalleled lyrical intelligence that seeps from Dylan. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rallysportev Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 (edited) It's not my favorite song but it's my favorite lyrics, somehow it reaches into the personal side of me, especially the last lyrics which are in bold: Artist: Blue October Song: Overweight Ever carried the weight of another?For how long?I walk as far as they need to recoverFor how long? (ha!)I want to carry a piece of who I was beforeSo when I hit the wall, I really hit the wallI want to tear away the death againA whiter shade of f****** meth againI want to stick to clues, I want to come ungluedI want to shape the world to fit the way you moveOh, should I listen for a dress size?I owned up, I've grown up, do you remember me?I showed up and so what if I'm the used to beI'm here to tell you that I'm sorry I was sorryBut I'm happy that you're happyThis is no longer about meTrade rules, switch sides for your beautiful eyesLet him be you through your beautiful criesLet him hold you up so you can touch affordable skiesLive your life just like a dreamWithout the pain of goodbyesGoodbye!Ever carried the weight of another?For how long?I walk as far as they need to recoverFor how long?I been a drunk disrespectful little street punkUnlock the back of my trunkYou see, you take this batAnd bash my head into the street againNo-ones around so I keep beating itPull my hair back, look me in the eyeThere's a self-destructive meaning in the bleeding of a guyIt's the guilt of what reality has given meMaking sense of all mistakes and my stupidityAnd when you're sick you seem to thinkYou've failed eternallyAnd that the people you let in are only crumblingWhen you're sick of faking life in this recoveryWhen my decision paved the roadThat lies in front of meSo to my friends that even call but I don't call backI want you deep inside my heart upon a hillIt seems to hide sometimes and run away and wonderI'm really sick of saying sorry but I willEver carried the weight of another?For how long?I walk as far as they need to recoverFor how long?But are we scared to take the ride?Or dare to look inside?I'm floating far away (far away)I'm floating far away (leaving home)I'm floating far away (so far away)I'm floating far awayI want to learn to walk with others as an equalI want to treat the ones who love me with respectI want to tell the world I'll give them all a piggybackAnd try to take away my negative effectI want to kiss a girl and know I'll never lie againI want to call my dad and tell him that I careI want to let my brother knowHe saved my life a thousand timesThroughout the years he's been my friendWho's always thereEver carried the weight of another?For how long?

Sadako18 Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Love Psalm by Akira Yamaoka/ Mary Elizabeth McGlynn This isn't the life that I dreamed it could beI'm starin' into the eyes of the shell left of meAnd now, every decision I makethe good, the pleasure, and the paincould simply all be erasedif I choose it to beThis nightmare unfolds like a rose awakes to the springAlways so close to the sanity I'm trying to cling toI'm tearin' out the pages 'cause it hurtsto be forced to feel the hearts breakHow much of this torture can I take?Is it not worth the risk to createjust onemore try?I know that I can fix itIf you could rewrite our life any way that you pleasewould you tear out the pages of our memories?Would you take back the pain and all the hurt we create?Or could you be satisfied with the love that you've madewith me?If you could rewrite our life any way that you pleasewould you tear out the pages of our memories?Would you take back the pain and all the hurt we create?or could you be satisfied with the promise you made?So we rewrite our lives but it's not what we thinkIn the chaos we dance as we stand on the brinkAlways one change away from makin' ourselves completeThe world will perish in flamesand I'll watch as you fade from meWe write our love psalmRewrite our love psalmWe write our love psalmRewrite our love psalm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kallaroth Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 (edited) In the middle of a bad dream I ask whoever is filming not to stop I don't know what a nightmare is called when I am napping during the day Or if I am awake But I'm guessing it's really all the same I enter this hole of self-pity Which is really housing another hole Of self loathing Which reveals itself as a sea Of utter contempt and I Am now floating The closest I came to knowing God was being caught in a rowing shell on the Fox River in the middle of a wicked storm I looked into God's eyes, and they were gray-- Like my favorite woolen sweater, thrice worn and thrifted I guess at heart, I'm a materialist People often ask me what it's like to fly the coop Budding ornithologists are weary of tired analogies I want to be a writer, if given the chance I would write a novel for every pretty girl that let me kiss her And another for the all-seeing eye of her big sister Rain drops smooched my hair soft Your kisses were distinct like welts from an airsoft I never wore a tie that didn't come from the thrift store Before I was a vegetarian I should've fished more I wonder if the pizza in heaven tastes better than here My spidey-sense tingles whenever Eddie Vedder is near I've never done anything impressive because being remembered as a headline would be delineating I've never really wanted to be remembered When Robert died I was in a bookstore that wasn't born yet And all around me spun the narratives of other fallen heroes Dust! Dust! Dust! Dust on the tomes of the stories of yesterday; Dust on the tombs of the heroes of today Dust Dust Dust I miss you Do you like your raps sung by a prettier gent Who fornicates copiously with a prosthetic wench? I'll fade into oblivion when my prophecy's spent In a megaplex guessing where my office copies were lent Now I, never was ever the best break dancer And you'll never hear my name on your CB police scanner But I can hoist my Braveheart-esque banner to the moon And create much havoc in a small-town, college kid's room Hip hop's grand prize is a following of nasty MILFs Who understitched their lonely son's Eagle Scout quilts Which explains why the lad is so passive-aggressive And hastily labeled my press kit massively unimpressive *one breath* I was farmed for my similarity to a Duracell battery And quickly abandoned at a calculator factory I'm no Wizard of Waverly But I wear second hand goods like they were made for me I went to school to become a philosopher But dropped out to be a sober Kid Cudi imposter With a spoon that's porous, I lounge in Siberia Dining on borscht with Boris My mind has the drive of an old FORD Taurus Unfortunately my mind has no roads: it's just a forest Rap's Kurt Vonnegut, Blurb Fontset For you I would cross the infinite sea of midpoints And eat french fries at your favorite cheeseburger joint When we're old, please call me if you crack your diskjoint I might be busy keeping these rhymes on point Catch me rapping in your favorite restaurant's senior citizen line Dropping wizened rhymes About the fall of Byzantine I said catch me rapping in your favorite restaurant's senior citizen line Dropping wizened rhymes About the fall of Byzantine I'm an old man eating Zatarain's with cataracts Worrying about matching my afghans with my stocking caps A trip to the restroom can last me a couple hours I remember when folks thought MCs had divine powers Pretending we were Word Wizards and Conjurers; TV told us we were murderers on the lam from their officers In many ways I'm this culture's premiere historian I told a young man at the bus stop and he said I was borin' him Now I'm in the arts and crafts room at this old nursing home Cutting out hearts from the same cardboard I danced upon I couldn't possibly put to words how depressed I am Every week I look forward to hearing the Funkmaster's Jam I made some notes for what else I could blab about The other night I told my bed nurse I was swagged out She put me in my place fast, responding Why can't you wipe your own ass? Damn I don't know what my favorite song lyrics actually are but the lyrics to "One Lonely Owl" are one of my choices. Everything Milo releases is great lyrically.

Condemned09 Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 (edited) "Exile" Cold as the northern winds In December mornings, Cold is the cry that rings From this far distant shore. Winter has come too late Too close beside me. How can I chase away All these fears deep inside? [Chorus:] I'll wait the signs to come. I'll find a way I will wait the time to come. I'll find a way home. My light shall be the moon And my path - the ocean. My guide the morning star As I sail home to you. [Chorus] Who then can warm my soul? Who can quell my passion? Out of these dreams - a boat I will sail home to you. "The Last Goodbye" I saw the light fade from the sky On the wind I heard a sigh As the snowflakes cover My fallen brothers I will say this last goodbye Night is now falling So ends this day The road is now calling And I must away Over hill and under tree Through lands where never light has shone By silver streams that run down to the sea Under cloud, beneath the stars Over snow and winter's morn I turn at last to paths that lead home And though where the road then takes me, I cannot tell We came all this way But now comes the day To bid you farewell Many places I have been Many sorrows I have seen But I don't regret Nor will I forget All who took that road with me Night is now falling So ends this day The road is now calling And I must away Over hill, and under tree Through lands where never light has shone By silver streams that run down to the sea To these memories I will hold With your blessing I will go To turn at last to paths that lead home And though where the road then takes me, I cannot tell We came all this way But now comes the day To bid you farewell I bid you all a very fond farewell Edited August 19, 2015 by Condemned09 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
