Lyric-a-Day Thread

[cshadows2887]

So every week there seems to be a new "favorite lyrics" thread so I thought maybe we could try something different. Pick a lyric (JUST ONE) that you love, or want others to read/hear, or applies to your life at the moment and post it here. Try to keep it to a line or a verse, as opposed to a whole song, for brevity's sake. And no more than one lyric per 24 hours, but you can post one every day, so there's no need to pull the "can't pick just one" nonsense. Fire away!

P.S. Don't forget title and artist.

[maxvsmaradona]

I've lived like a bum, inside of a van, trying as hard as I fucking can. Sacrifice everything for the mic and the life, and I've still have empty hands. Can't see a dentist. Can't see my friends. Can't afford a cell phone. Can't pay rent. I'm a struggling musician in a bad position, do you think you can understand?

I enjoy Jeremy Enigk's lyrics.

Since I haven't participated in on-topic talk yet:

I don't worry anymore
Nothing like I did before
I don't worry
I just watch them rolling back
I don't worry anymore
'Cause it's all right, all right to see a ghost
And I wanna see 'em go down in the river where they go
And I wanna see 'em rolling, rolling back
And I wanna see 'em go
'Cause it's all right, all right to see your ghost

I'm gonna run to the river
Kiss my hand and wait
Gonna run to the river
Gonna throw a blue bouquet
'Cause they're gonna be cool happy genius heroes
I'm gonna miss 'em so much

I will settle in and dream
Of a slow and funny scene
I will settle in and watch 'em rolling back
I will settle in and dream
'Cause it's all right, all right to see a ghost
And I wanna see 'em go down in the river where they go
And I wanna see 'em rolling, rolling back

"Santa Clara" by The National

I adore this thread. It's such a great way for me to find new music because I'm such a lyric person.

Our innocence is a virtue
But our arrogance will only leave us blind
Unattended without anyone to save our idle lives
Will we find out that everything we know exists inside of a fraction
Of a fraction

so much for not doing whole songs.

[briewer]

I've never really cared about lyrics all that much because, for the most part, they aren't quite as profound or meaningful when they're taken out the context of the song, but two that I've always been fond of are:

"Please don't whisper sweet nothings in my ear when the sound of shredding vocal chords is what I want to hear."
-Titus Andronicus, 'Arms Against Atrophy'

"So now we're dancing through the garden,
and what a garden I have made.
And now the death will grow my jasmine,
I find it soothing, I'm afraid."
-Tallest Man On Earth, 'The Gardener'

[IntoTheSun]

And now the death will grow my jasmine,

Hm, I agree that taken out of context they tend to be lacking, but what does that have to do with appreciating lyrics while you are engaging in listening to a song?

[Scrandon]

Today I offer all myself to this
I'm living for my dying wish
I give it all, now there's a reason,
there's a reason to give it all.

Rise Against - Give it all

[briewer]

Hm, I agree that taken out of context they tend to be lacking, but what does that have to do with appreciating lyrics while you are engaging in listening to a song?
Nothing, really. I just think that most if not all vocals are more important for their tone and utility to the other parts of the song than their actual literary value. For example, Jónsi of Sigur Rós sings gibberish on all of their songs, but I wouldn't get much more out of Ágætis Byrjun if it was in English because the way he sang is always more important to me than what he is singing.

I think those read pretty great out of context, having never heard them.

I'm really happy this thread might catch on, It's got me interested in listening to a lot of new shit.

New day, new lyric:

You damned yourself with this nonsense, but sure as hell I still love you. As long as there's a God in heaven, I'll still want you. And as long as hell is still burning hot, I will want you back.

Today's lyric:

And now I know why the all the trees change in the fall
I know you were on my side even when I was wrong
And I love you for giving me your eyes

And I didn't know if you knew, so I'm takin' this chance to say
That I had the best day with you today

"Well, I'll look at all the lonely people.

A Weather

[Broden Terry]

"Wooden lady turn and turn among my weary secrets
And wave within the hours passed and other empty pockets
Maybe we've found what we have lost
When we've unwound so many crossed, entangling
Misunderstandings; but

All my frozen words agree and say it's time to
Call back all the birds I sent to
Fly behind her castle walls, and I'm
Weary of the nights I've seen
Inside these empty halls"

Jackson Browne - The Birds of St. Marks

A Weather

Title, dear. I really want to check out that A Weather song based on those lyrics but I don't know what to look for.

[11:11]

Lonely is the room the bed is made
The open window lets the rain in
Burning in the corner is the only one
Who dreams he had you with him
My body turns and yearns for a sleep
That won't ever come
It's never over,
My kingdom for a kiss upon her shoulder
It's never over,
all my riches for her smiles when I slept so soft against her...
It's never over,
All my blood for the sweetness of her laughter...
It's never over,
She's a tear that hangs inside my soul forever...

Jeff Buckley- "Lover, You Should've Come Over"

I only did the first verse, the chorus, and the second verse. If it were the whole song, I would have posted the chorus two more times, followed by a few more repeated lines. So, uh, yeah.

New day, new lyric:

And now the whiz-bang gang from uptown, they're shooting up the street and that cat from the Bronx starts letting loose, but he gets blown right off his feet. Some kid comes blasting 'round the corner, but a cop puts him right away. He lays on the street, holding his leg, screaming something in Spanish. He was still breathing when I walked away. And somebody said "Hey man did you see that? His body hit the street with such a beautiful thud. I wonder what that dude was sayin'. Or was he just lost in the flood?" Hey man, did you see that? Those poor cats are sure fucked up. I wonder what they were getting into. Or were they just lost in the flood?

Bruce Springsteen - Lost in the Flood

[flks511]

"Always remember, always remember
to send out
the glowing praises as we look to

[BigG1392]

"I hate the way I get when I can't handle bad news
Feels like I've been an asshole for months
All I've got left are these handfuls of "fuck you"

When you love someone, but it goes to waste

On the floor at the great divide
With my shirt tucked in and my shoes untied
I am crying in the bathroom

In the morning when you finally go
And the nurse runs in with her head hung low
And the cardinal hits the window
Sufjan Stevens - "Casimir Pulaski Day"

"Yeah, you've gotta swim, don't let yourself sink,
Just find the horrizon, i promise you it's not as far as you think.

Just keep your head above..."

Earth to Bella, everything you know is wrong. Well, almost. Earth to Bella, I see where you are not listening. I bear the burden of being the voice that let's you know we all grow old. And before you swim, you gotta be okay to sink.

Incubus' "Earth to Bella pt. 1"

[11:11]

Got you out on the ocean,
here on the sea,
the waves in your face
and you're shouting at me.
Won’t you lay here awake,
don't fall asleep
holding me, holding on
it makes sense to me.
But you wouldn't allow
and it's killing me now,
don’t you know.

You think I'm an ignorant savage
and you've been so many places,
I guess it must be so.
But still, I cannot see

[Idealist80]

Behind the scenic beauty of your face, lies an ugly truth i can't embrace....

Let's break the windowpanes
And separate the walls from all the nails
And maybe if we're loud, we'll stay alive
While everybody wants to join the fight

But even if we barricade the door
And seal it with the blood found on the floor,
We're always going to cross the finish line
While everybody wants to run and hide
But now it's too late

Your silver tongue it masks your hungry hate

You still can change, you have to know, you still can change
I know, I know, for now I wanna be this way

That album is fantastic. My second favorite of theirs, but one of the best shiny pop/rock records I've heard.

And that song is originally by Feetwood Mac, btw.

Oh, is it? I had no idea! Is it better or worse than her version? because I have endless love for hers.

(re: the album)
I do like it a lot. I was listening to it when I went for a run earlier - sun was shining, trees were tree-ing and woods wood-ing - perfect soundtrack for it! It'd be great car-music.
What is your first-favourite?

[broaddplease]

And I say there's trouble when everything is fine.
The need to destroy things creeps up on me every time.

The Absence of God

[flks511]

"The instinct to run, back away, or give up,
To need, want, reach, steal,
The feeling to always want more, and to take more,
The loss of breath at the sight of a car accident,
To drive by, never being able to feel satisfied,
And to reject anyone who tries,
This is my life."

- The Early November, Intro to "The Path"

[apsterling]

"You're making a choice to live like this
In all of the noise I am silence
We already know how it ends tonight
You run in the dark through a firefight
I'm riding it out this storm that you brought in
Bringing it down on me around for you I go again
Its got to be easy to see
What everyone takes out of me
I would explode just to save your life
I would explode"

- Yellowcard, Light Up The Sky

Christine McVie's version of it is heartbreakingly beautiful. I haven't heard the version you quoted, but I have a hard time imagining I could like it more.

And Dizzy Up the Girl is the first album I ever really loved and has my all-time favorite song on it. You really can't go wrong with Superstar Car Wash or A Boy Named Goo either though. That band is criminally underrated.

[cshadows2887]

Me and my friends are like the drums on "Lust for Life." We pound it out on floor toms. Our pslams are sing-along songs.

Just listened to that version and I have to say I prefer Eva Cassidy's, but y'know, different strokes and all that.

I will probably get more of their albums (or make my sister buy them, since she's going to take the songs anyway), so thank you; I will continue with those. :)



Went to the porch to have a thought.
Got to the door and again, I couldn't stop.

But you still got your words and you got your friends.

Work a little harder, work another way.

One of my favorite songs at the moment.

[mymusicismylife]

The Beetle King slammed down his fist: Your flowery description's no better than his!
We sent for the Great Light and you bring us this?
We didn't ask what it seems like, we asked what it IS!
His Majesty's hour at last has drawn nigh!
The elegant Queen took her leave from his side, without understanding but without asking why, gathered their Kids to come bid their goodbyes.
And the father explained: You've been somewhat deceived...
We've all called me your dad, but your True Dad's not me.
I lay next to your mom and your forms were conceived, your Father is the Life within all that you see.
He fills up the ponds as He empties the clouds, holds without hands and He speaks without sounds, provides us with the Cow's waste and coconuts to eat, giving one that nice salt-taste and the other a sweet.
Sends the black carriage the day Death shows its face, thinning our numbers with Kindness and Grace.
And just as a Flower and its Fragrance are one so must each of you and your Father become.
Now distribute my scepter, my crown and my throne and all we've known as 'wealth' to the poor and alone...
Without further hesitation, without looking back home, the King flew headlong into the blazing unknown!
And as the Smoke King curled higher and higher, the troops, flying loops 'round the telephone wires, they said: Our Beloved's not dead, but His Highness instead has been utterly changed into Fire!!!

Why not be utterly changed into Fire?...

[cavanaughpark09]

You don't do it on purpose
But you make me shake
Now I count the hours 'til you wake
With your babies breath
Breathe symphonies
Come on sweet catastrophe
Well,

Maybe this time I can follow through
i can feel complete
Stop paying dues
Stop the rain from falling
Keep my ocean calm
This time I know nothings wrong

I don't understand why joy must be feigned

That the truth it lies in my reflection

Type O Negative - World Coming Down

[tawtaw]

I woke in the snow with my face on the pavement and icicles hanging off most of my clothes
Ten picket fences for ten perfect houses with green little gardens lined up in a row
I walked past the gardens and into the trees
And I found myself rather lost
I picked a nice clearing and I dropped to my knees
I said "I will get home at any cost"
But they found me in the snow
Icicles on all my clothes
Surrounded in the splinters
Of ten picket fences for ten perfect houses
There, shattered and scattered all across the road

One day you'll reap the seeds of a shadowed past, and I can only hope I'm there.

D minor was the final chord and Kevin played it hard,
and it resonated down the hall and out into the yard.
And I remember thinking that we lost something that day

though our ears and fingers tried,
our tired hearts could not provide a tune.

Lettuce grows, lettuce grows, in neatly sectioned beds and rows,
but one day asked the gardener to be moved to where the eggplant goes.
"Reason being, i must confess, I adore her shining purple dress."
As the eggplant listened in, she wasn't offended but she wasn't impressed.
The potato called from underground, "You've got it all turned upside down!
Does the rain that sent each spring anew to fall on her not fall on you?
You project on her your inward scene, she's a blank external movie screen,
but the One who looks out from your eyes looks through hers and looks through mine.

So don't pay no mind to my watering eyes. It must be something in the air that I'm breathing. And try to ignore all this blood on the floor. It's just this heart on my sleeve that's bleeding. So kiss him again just to prove to me that you can. I will stand here and burn in my skin.

"Just lonely, baby--doesn't mean I'm looking for a friend.
I've got plenty, I'm still learning how to lay down my life for them.

Don't want to find yourself alone at thirty-five,
spending half what you make on your car (and hating
that drive).
Just crazy, maybe--doesn't mean I'm looking for a cure.
I've got stability that scares you,
'cause it's hard to believe when you're so sure.
No matter how different you are, you're just like everybody else.
No matter how hard you try and fit in, there is no one like you.
You will find you spend a good deal of your life,
sitting at red lights"

Violence has no charm,
Still i'm waiting for your arm.
Someone said goodbye,
And now no one misses you.

And they might see you round,
In this quiet little town,
Talking of violence,
A knife you have,
Still in your back
And they might, see you there,
Sayin' noone ever cared,

I still remember,
I still remember,
How soon you forget.

And let's throw out a toast to the road, where ever we go
We'll hold friends close and never want to go home"

''I want my life to be red with trees and like autumn,
I'd float away from evil and down towards the healing.
So sad now we have become.
The children trapped in the mazes,
I'd give my soul to the one
who has the courage to find me and free me now.''

Lovedrug - Down Towards the Healing

[Broden Terry]

Just like an eskimo would say "It's cold out here today, I'm glad i built myself an igloo to keep you warm."
I drew two love hearts in the snow, printed our names next to them both
you said, "Don't be so immature"

Break the bottle, I still won't find you in the bottom
Or anywhere around here.
Break the habit because self destruction is oh so romantic.
So says everyone around here.

So I told her I loved her
And she told me she loved me
And I mostly believed her
And she mostly believed me

Pedro The Lion - Options

[TwelveTribes230]

Now you're over-apologetic, wet with a thousand types of tears
And I don't get it, you kept them right behind your ears
Tried to steer me near your beaten path of bad company
I said I keep my feet in glass and thats comforting
Thats coming from the king of the road to recovery
Who's got a soul thats old and I'm singin odes about cold to cut it free
It's just like me, nothings changed
