Best single lyric ever written

[Judge'sDaughter]

Kagayaku bokura ni teki wa nai yo ne Shiroi me sarete mo doudou ikou
Tsumazuitari shita toki wa minna de Itami wake atte sasaetekou

[AP_Punk]

Word.

[Judge'sDaughter]

translated means "Us, who are matchless, are shining Even if we're looked upon coldly, let's go grandly When we stumble lets all share our pains and support each other together "

[indexfor...]

Fuck You Jesus

[Judge'sDaughter]

O.O' interesting choice...

[reductiondesign]

TAKE APART YOUR HEAD!

Or...

I LOVE YOU SO MUCH THAT IT HURTS MY HEAD!

[avengedtbs]

Cut My Wrists And Black My Eyes

[Smash Adams]

You can change your life - if you wanna
You can change your clothes - if you wanna
If you change your mind
Well, that's the way it goes

[HangsLikeHeaven]

Cut My Wrists And Black My Eyes

L O L. i love thoughtful and deep hawthrone height lyrics

[Peach]

I want to hate you half as much as I hate myself.

[Judge'sDaughter]

L O L. i love thoughtful and deep hawthrone height lyrics
... not to be bitchy, but that lyric didn't sound very thoughtful or deep.
It sounded depressing and lonely.

[hailthewarrior]

we're nothing but hollow vessels in search of what makes us alive

[Judge'sDaughter]

I want to hate you half as much as I hate myself.
YOU CAME!

[hailthewarrior]

... not to be bitchy, but that ltric didn't sound very thoughtful or deep.
It sounded depressing and lonely.

it was sarcasm on his part.

[Judge'sDaughter]

*feels awkward*

[avengedtbs]

there was not a single ounce of serious in me posting that lyric as the best single lyric ever written

[avengedtbs]

shame on you for thinking i was serious :wave:

[Peach]

... not to be bitchy, but that lyric didn't sound very thoughtful or deep.
It sounded depressing and lonely.

Oh... They were being sarcastic.

BTW- Isn't the quote supposed to be "SLIT my wrists and black my eyes"?

[Judge'sDaughter]

shame on you for thinking i was serious :wave:
*shakes head sadly*
I should be beaten.

[hailthewarrior]

Oh... They were being sarcastic.

BTW- Isn't the quote supposed to be "SLIT my wrists and black my eyes"?

sadly enough, i know the song well enough to say he had it right the first time.

[Judge'sDaughter]

Oh... They were being sarcastic.

BTW- Isn't the quote supposed to be "SLIT my wrists and black my eyes"?
O.O'
*coughcough* Feel special for correcting them, Peach...

[duhpunk]

"you and me baby ain't nothin but mammals
so let's do it like they do on the discovery channel"

classic.

[Peach]

sadly enough, i know the song well enough to say he had it right the first time.

Oh. Well, whatever. Thank you. I have seen the light!

[AP_Punk]

"My fiction beats the hell out of my truth"

[avengedtbs]

O.O'
*coughcough* Feel special for correcting them, Peach...
actually she was wrong...it is cut my wrist and black my eyes

[hailthewarrior]

"you and me baby ain't nothin but mammals
so let's do it like they do on the discovery channel"

classic.

</thread>

[Peach]

I agree with AP_Punk.

Though another REALLY good one is "Read the lines in the mirror through the lipstick trace: Por se em pre. She said 'it seems you're somewhere far away' to his face."

[avengedtbs]

"you and me baby ain't nothin but mammals
so let's do it like they do on the discovery channel"

classic.
that song was played at my senior prom and i went nuts...i screamed every word

[Judge'sDaughter]

I still like my lyric best.
Hopefully somebody will take the time and think about it and post one good enough to make me change my mind.

[duhpunk]

i may get some shit for this one:

"the past is only the future with the lights on"
-+44 "Baby, Come On"

[Judge'sDaughter]

Wow. An okay +44 lyric.
I think I may faint.

[hailthewarrior]

everytime the sky
breaks open with sunshine
streaming swords collide
it takes me back in time
i float away
to another place
where heaven is waiting right outside

[Judge'sDaughter]

... *blink*

[lawofaverages]

Pig Destroyer lyrics > everything else in this thread

[Judge'sDaughter]

...Example?

[lawofaverages]

Haunting the junkyards and cutting myself on scraps of you.
The other day I masturbated to pictures of you at your birthday party.
They were the only ones I still had.
It felt so wrong, just like my life.
I hope I'm dead by the time you read this. I love you.


My knuckles are bleeding on your front door
and these flowers are wilting in the rain.
They were for you and now they are for no one.
They are irrelevant as mercenaries in times of peace.
They are smoke twisting off the lips of a movie star.
Here is a boy with paper skin who longs to touch the girl of broken glass.
She loves it when he wears his skin like that.
In tatters.

[Yes. And?]

i can't pick just one favorite lyric of all time...

[hailthewarrior]

everytime the sky
breaks open with sunshine
streaming swords collide
it takes me back in time
i float away
to another place
where heaven is waiting right outside

... *blink*

you didn't like it?

(under serious attack - emery, for the record)

[hailthewarrior]

i can't pick just one favorite lyric of all time...

ditto. i have tons.

[Peach]

Here's another REALLY good one:

There are no flowers, no not this time. There'll be no angels gracing the lines. Just these dark words I find.
I'd show a smile but I'm too weak. I'd share with you, could I only speak, just how much this hurts me.

[duhpunk]

My blood's on your hands
As self infliction persists
Don't tell me calm down
You're the one who caused this
I have trouble breathing
I black out then I fall
To my knees you brought me
Are you sorry at all?

[Judge'sDaughter]

My blood's on your hands
As self infliction persists
Don't tell me calm down
You're the one who caused this
I have trouble breathing
I black out then I fall
To my knees you brought me
Are you sorry at all?
... *coughcough*
That one wasn't as bad...

[lawofaverages]

Today I witnessed a crucifixion in pink and lavender and gold.
I've heard people say that beauty is in details,
but I don't think they have ever seen you.
There were mortal wounds inflicted on the sky
and incrminating blue stains on my shirt.

[Judge'sDaughter]

Haunting the junkyards and cutting myself on scraps of you.
The other day I masturbated to pictures of you at your birthday party.
They were the only ones I still had.

This was fabulous. What song is it?

[xidreamofyou32x]

These nights I get high just from breathing.
When I lie here with you I'm sure that I'm real,
like that firework over the freeway.
I could stay here all day but that's not how you feel.

So why do you leave these questions unanswered?
The circus awaits and you're already gone.
My Cheshire cat doorstop with fear in your smile,
what makes it so easy for you to be walking by?
And what did I do that you can't seem to want me?
Why do we lie here and whisper goodbyes?
Where can I go that your pictures won't haunt me?
What makes it so easy for you to be walking by?

[Andrew_Murphy]

This is too hard...

Maybe

Yesterday or Eleanor Rigby

[Andrew_Murphy]

Here is a boy with paper skin who longs to touch the girl of broken glass.

I really only liked this but I really really liked this a lot.

[Esrb99]

Here's another REALLY good one:

I'd show a smile but I'm too weak. I'd share with you, could I only speak, just how much this hurts me.


THIS was close to mine....

Still, we lay under the emptiness and drifted slowly outward,
and somewhere in the wilderness we found salvation scratched
into the earth like a message.

[Judge'sDaughter]

This is too hard...

Maybe

Yesterday or Eleanor Rigby
I love those songs but, unfortunately for you, I am looking for a LYRIC.

[avengedtbs]

hey there girls, im a cunt!

[Judge'sDaughter]

^^

Junkyard God?

[lawofaverages]

This was fabulous. What song is it?

top half was from "Starbelly", second half was from "Junkyard God"

[lawofaverages]

Junkyard God?

Yeah

[Chancetobe]

A few of my pesonal favorites:
"Have you ever been alone in a crowded room?"

" You should not be angry
If all she wants is your money
Oh, you should not be angry
'Cause all you want is her body"

"I'll always know i'm not enough to even make you think"

[Mavsweetie06]

"if you could slit my throat, and with my one last gasping breath i'd apologize for bleeding on your shirt"

[atticus1492]

Kagayaku bokura ni teki wa nai yo ne Shiroi me sarete mo doudou ikou
Tsumazuitari shita toki wa minna de Itami wake atte sasaetekou

This is not good. This is just gibberish.

[CrazyRockGirl]

" I'll keep you my dirty little secret"

[duhpunk]

when masturbation's lost it's fun, you're fucking breaking

[Brianfarg]

"Ugly is Ugly. Transformation is a dream. So love what you are and not what you would like to be."

[sum41fanatic]

I like one lyric from sum41s new song march of the dogs. 'I dont believe in politics, just a bunch of fools and hipocrites' because its true

[lew_1987]

until i decide to take my watch off, i still believe that we're just a matter of time

[ThePartialGlow]

"My bright is too slight to hold back all my dark."

[Dan CiTi]

Soooo this is the same old blood rush with a new touch?

[xshesatiger]

reallllly in love with The Honorary Title right now.
dirty, but i love jarrod gorbels words.


Through a thin layer of rubber and a thick rusted armor of drunken lust
I think when our clothes were on we had a different image of
What this was supposed to be
My buzz allowed me to slip into you more comfortably

Here's what I intended, and here is the truth

The soundtrack to our meeting fills the awkward spaces between our strained breathing
And the only thing between, between the two of us, is your blood and our sweat
I can taste the cigarettes on your tongue while exchanging spit



not my favorite of ALL TIME or anything, just a song i'm obsessing over lately.

[Dan CiTi]

Brand New - "Good To Know..."
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.
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.
Saves the Day - "Nightingale"
I'll have to walk a thousand miles just to find the ground deserving of your feet.
You could throw me down and walk on me
and I'd just look on through my love and through the haze.
And I hope, your majesty that you like your position.
I'll do everything I can to keep you by my side
and I'll stare off through the darkness to find us a kingdom.
Just kiss me before I go.

Those right there are my favorite stanzas.
My favorite line(s) are:
TREOS - "This Armistice"
Oh, how I've been teething in light of your misleading you've caused this collapse between the heart and the synapse
or
Brand New - "Not The Sun"
Say you're my friend but why won't you be my family?/You've set on me but you are not the sun

Everything off The Clash's London Calling is total ace.

[Judge'sDaughter]

This is not good. This is just gibberish.
Its in another language. Go a little farther down and I posted a translation.

[atticus1492]

I like one lyric from sum41s new song march of the dogs. 'I dont believe in politics, just a bunch of fools and hipocrites' because its true

So punk rawk.

[matty schells]

Hey hey, you you, I don't like your girlfriend
Hey hey, you you, I think you need a new one

simply put, genius

[monkeyteddy13]

"music is worthless unless it can make a complete stranger break down and cry"

^ favorite line, least favorite song on the cd. go figure.

[StrictlyBiznas]

If ya wanna be happy for the rest of your life
Never make a pretty woman your wife
So for my personal point of view
Get an ugly girl to marry you

[Scott Weber]

"My old man always swore that hell would have no flames, just a front row seat to watch your true love pack her things and drive away."

- Pedro the Lion

[Andrew_Murphy]

The first time I saw a body bend that way
I realized that we're more beautiful dead than alive
Then, with bloodied flesh removed, your rib cage ripped away
And I saw why they say beauty comes from the inside

From a Torrid Love Affair


"The first time I saw a body bend that way
I realized that we're more beautiful dead than alive
Then, with bloodied flesh removed, your rib cage ripped away
And I saw why they say beauty comes from the inside

It won't be the same
This time around
You'll never be the same again
I promise to never forget you
You'll remember me
For as long as you live
And your life ends right here, right now,
As I tear your heart apart
I'll take your hair with me,
Wrapped around my bloody knuckles
As a soft, silken reminder
Of the day
You discovered
That even the softest words
Can't heal the deepest wounds
I pray
That they find you
And use the softest words
To hide the hardest truth

I'm covered in your blood
It's over. We're better.
One day we'll forget you
We're so right, so clever
I'm covered in your blood
It's over. We're better.
One day we'll forget you
We're so right, so clever
I'm covered in your blood
It's over. We're better.
One day we'll forget you

I'll take your hair with me,
Wrapped around my bloody knuckles
As a soft, silken reminder
Of the day
You discovered
That even the softest words
Can't hide the hardest truth
I pray
That they find you
And use the softest words
To hide the hardest truth

[Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer]
"If you shoot someone in the head with a .45 every time you kill somebody, it becomes like your fingerprint, see? But if you strangle one,
stab another, one you cut up, one you don't, then the police don't know what to do. They think you're 4 different people. What they really
like, what makes their job so much easier, is pattern. What they call a modus operandi. That's latin. Bet you didn't know any latin, did ya
otis?"

"big fuckin deal."

"What?"

"Nothing."

"It's like a trail of shit, otis. It's like the blood droppings from a deer you shot, and all they gotta do is follow those droppings, and
pretty soon, they're gonna find their deer.

"Why don't you use a gun?"

"You can use a gun. I'm not saying you can't use a gun. Just don't use the same gun twice."

Save me from this
Love affair with broken hearts
Before it's too late
Save me or save yourself
Love affair with broken hearts
Before it's too late
Me or save yourself"

[okc0mputer]

one day i am gonna grow wings,
a chemical reaction,
hysterical and useless
hysterical and useless

[jaws]

You’re the malevolent rupture in collective progression. I am your sense of achievement. I’m a fallback, I’m your failures, but you are the one I would die for.

and

you could have saved me but oh no... you made this coat too small but i still put it on. why do you scream when i'm everything now that you made me out to be? the me you made up is so much better than the me you laid out to burn in this weather.

[Wobbie]

The best single lyric ever written is 'The'.

[suxatlife]

Wow so many songs with such great lyrics...

The Spill Canvas - The Tide

"Heavens not a place that you go when you die it's that moment in life when you actually feel alive. So live for the moment. And take this advice, live by every word. Love's completely real so forget anything that you have heard and live for the moment now." etc

Dashboard Confessional - The Brilliant Dance

"This is incredible. Starving, insatiable, yes this is love for the first time.
Well you'd like to think that you're invincible.
Yea, well weren't we all once before we felt lost for the first time?
Well this is the last time."

The Spill Canvas - Self Conclusion

"Yea we all flirt with the tiniest notion of self conclusion in one simplified motion. But you see the trick is that you're never supposed to act on it. No matter how unbearable this mysery gets."

ForeverInMotion - The Rain

"Time carries us away
from all the places we have come to love;
just wishing we could stay.
But maybe that's not the point.
What makes this all so god damn beautiful
is knowing that its bound to fade in time."

Ehh...definately not best ever type stuff but just stuff ive been listening to..

[TAYF152]

"It's not that I hang on every word
I hang myself on what you repeat
It's not that I keep hanging on
I'm never letting go"

Anberlin Dismantle. Repair.

[Love As Arson]

Aesthetic historical is not dialectical
because the reference is gone.
Where did it go? A past so far gone.
My body of work is exploitation,
And I must say it's astounding.

[AtlBallin70]

anything the mars volta do.

[lew_1987]

how proud you are of being everything, but genuine.

[duhpunk]

You ripped my heart out, you tore my eyes out, now you're gonna pay
I'll stab you one time.
I'll eat your heart out, so you feel my pain.
Don't you know that I always see you in all of my dreams?

I wanna kill you. I wanna kill you. Now I'm insane

good ole Senses Fail:-D

[Judge'sDaughter]

>_>;

[NormaJoel]

I think both Little Girls and I can get sexual by say anything deserve mentions.

"I kill, kill, kill little girls"
and of course,
"I called her on the phone and she touched herself"

[lawofaverages]

You ripped my heart out, you tore my eyes out, now you're gonna pay
I'll stab you one time.
I'll eat your heart out, so you feel my pain.
Don't you know that I always see you in all of my dreams?

I wanna kill you. I wanna kill you. Now I'm insane

good ole Senses Fail:-D

those have to be some of the worst lyrics I have ever read.

[Judge'sDaughter]

I agree, that is why I made the ">_>;" face...

[duhpunk]

>_>;

dont think i was serious

[lawofaverages]

I sneak a sniff of her live wire hair.
It is bright red with random sparks.
My bionic sister teaches me inhumanity.
Parting her silver thighs and making love obsolete.

[lawofaverages]

Dyed red hair, a forest green dress and a pair of kitchen knives,
it was the last time I ever saw a rose.

[trainwreck89]

I think both Little Girls and I can get sexual by say anything deserve mentions.

"I kill, kill, kill little girls"
and of course,
"I called her on the phone and she touched herself"

little girls is in my opinion one of the very few say anything songs that is a disappointment lyrically. It's catchy as hell though.

now im not a huge bright eyes fan but conor oberst's lyrics are absolutely stunning
example:

So, I’m just the medicine
You take when you’re sick
You get well and that’s it
I’m put back on the shelf in your mirror
And it isn’t exceptional
The course of our fate
So, people love and they hate
And I guess it’s just our turn to hate
Yeah, you were just some song I wrote
A poem on a page
A sculpture I made out of clay
Desire was the flame
But now you’re more of a basketball
Boys just pass you around
They bounce you hard on the ground and dribble
And then we all get high fives
And you think I’m an asshole now
Well, you’re probably right
But at least I’m not blind to the facts
I’ve been wishing were lies
But still I hope you get everything
That you care to possess
And unbelievable sex with him
Or any one of my friends
But just don’t ask about my appetite
I didn’t lose it tonight
No, it’s been gone half my life
It’s just act, I’ve been eating for you

[CellarGhosts]

I should be on trial, for everything I haven't done

[eraserhead]

A lot off of I'm Wide Awake, some of my favorite lyrics ever. Not best ever by a long shot, but damn good.

I've got a flask inside my pocket we can share it on the train
If you promise to stay conscious I will try and do the same
We may die from medication but we sure killed all the pain
But what was normal in the evening, by the morning seems insane

[duhpunk]

"perfection can be perfect hell"

[Judge'sDaughter]

I sneak a sniff of her live wire hair.
It is bright red with random sparks.
My bionic sister teaches me inhumanity.
Parting her silver thighs and making love obsolete.


:rape:


But rape aside,
you really need to give me a list of bands to listen to because the lyrics you have been posting are amazing.

[hailthewarrior]

the entire cavanaugh park song is some quality lyrics.

and seconding duhpunks right there.

[WithYouInRckLnd]

"Next time that star shoots across the sky, I'm gonna grab it and smash it under my feet 'cause who the fuck wants to be happy?"

omg...isn't that what adam lazarra has on his arm? omgomgomg i love lifetime now

[HeyCoffeeEyes]

When I die, one thousand birds will fly out of my mouth.

[Judge'sDaughter]

O.O; calm down, Adam Lazarra stalker.

[Judge'sDaughter]

When I die, one thousand birds will fly out of my mouth.
*nervous glance around*
Thanks, I am now paranoid.

[WithYouInRckLnd]

O.O; calm down, Adam Lazarra stalker.

Apparently you have a really hard time catching on to sarcasm...

[Judge'sDaughter]

I see you have few posts.
Then I shall attempt to brainwash you:
I catch sarcasm easily. Every member of this site loves me- even the ones that claim to hate me because everybody loves me. Nobody holds grudges against me and I don't hold grudges against them.

[Judge'sDaughter]

And I just realized that your signature is a lyric from my theamsong.

[WithYouInRckLnd]

My few posts make me less of a person, apparently. I can deal.

[HeyCoffeeEyes]

Also his username is lifted from "Howl". If this were an indie-cred arms race this kid just busted out the nukes.

[Judge'sDaughter]

No, few posts means that you probably don't know much about the forums and therefore are ^hopefully^ easily brainwashed.


Yeash, he probably would.

EDIT: now if only he would change his title from "registered user" to "indie-cred sensei"

[Susanna]

"Everytime you swallow, do you get a taste of what you've become?"

[WithYouInRckLnd]

Also his username is lifted from "Howl". If this were an indie-cred arms race this kid just busted out the nukes.

Nice pickup.

Done deal. :)

[WithYouInRckLnd]

...and outside of changing my custom title, I'm not easily brainwashed.

[TheBaroness]

Fuck You Jesus

Winner

[Judge'sDaughter]

...and outside of changing my custom title, I'm not easily brainwashed.
I now officially love you.
We would make shmexeh nuke-carrying babies.

[HeyCoffeeEyes]

i'd like to smash the hands that held you down and gave you pain and erase the images that have no place in your head.
fly that kite so high. let go of the string. cast the blame where it belongs. they let you fight this battle with arms tied. they left you to find the answers with blind eyes. i'll watch you sleep tonight.
as you tremble and dreams are cascading. it's not statistics they group us in. don't redeem your faith so quickly in what they told you was right.
i'd die to protect you. take back your night.
now she reaches for something as the pain of violation sets in. what they gave you was nothing and what you kept was silence. please don't be silent anymore.
you'll be stronger someday. you'll be taller someday.

[Judge'sDaughter]

What song is that from?

[WithYouInRckLnd]

I now officially love you.
We would make shmexeh nuke-carrying babies.

As long as I get to name our son Salvatore.

[HeyCoffeeEyes]

What song is that from?

You and I - "Tell Me About Your Childhood"

[Judge'sDaughter]

As long as I get to name our son Salvatore.
It wouldn't matter if his name was Leslie, he would have indie cred!

[WithYouInRckLnd]

It wouldn't matter if his name was Leslie, he would have indie cred!


Oh yes. And we can nickname him Sal Paradise...

HeyCoffeeEyes...that one was for you.

[HeyCoffeeEyes]

I dont actually like Kerouac.

[Judge'sDaughter]

We would be such proud parents!
AND OUR BABIE'S MUSIC TASTE WOULD BE DA SHIZNIT!

[Judge'sDaughter]

I dont actually like Kerouac.
I hope you aren't dissapointed now- we have to stick with that nickname.

[WithYouInRckLnd]

I dont actually like Kerouac.

To each their own. He does have a tough style to get into.

[WithYouInRckLnd]

Wow...this thread got hijacked...back to the topic at hand...

"Throw some Ds on that bitch"

[Judge'sDaughter]

"We want a band that plays loud and hard every night, that doesn't care how many people are counted at the door................that plays chords that sound like a knife, mean so much more then tee shirts and ticket stubs"

[hailthewarrior]

maybe when the moon is empty
maybe when the bottle's full...

[HeyCoffeeEyes]

You accidentally killed my mom, no playa hation points
You know how bitches act, shit exclamation points...
This trip is over, we ain't finna ride on
This is for my mental and my momma that I cried on
Microsoft motherfuckers let bygones be bygones
but since I'm Macintosh, I'ma double click your icons

[as_we_learn]

I'll grow old and start acting my age. I'll be a brand new day in a life that you hate.

[Judge'sDaughter]

You accidentally killed my mom, no playa hation points

Is this a parody?

[mijakai]

The one lyric that always stuck in my mind was "Love is watching someone die" from Death Cab. Cause, imo, thats what it is (not literally, though).

[MyDenverMax]

I am a big pedro fan, especially his stabs at stereotypical conservative christianity, because that's what I was brought up with:

And oh look you earned your wings
Are you an angel now, or a vulture
constantly hovering above
Waiting for a big mistake

Oh my God, what have I done?

[Kryptonite]

"my knuckles have turned to white, theres no turning back tonight, kiss me one last time..."

-underOATH

[Wobbie]

While i believe that there are way too many good lyrics out there to be a single best lyric line ever, these are probably my favourite at the moment.

"Down the lane, I breathe out loud in half frozen air. And the black amnesias in heaven are lighting a half moon on the stairs." The Promise Ring - 'Between Pacific Coasts'

"Do something now, trendsetter. Sing something now that will last forever" None More Black - '10 Ton Jiggawatts'

I like these two

Copeland - Love Affair

In a flash a heart is slain.
You have to ask in all this pain
Was your heart too soft?
Was your love in vain?

Was your kiss too weak?
Were your eyes too tight?
And much too young to be in love.
Much too young to be in love.

Is this a parody?

No, it's from "Me and Jesus the Pimp in a '79 Grenada Last Night" by the Coup. Its a fucking awesome song about a guy who's mom is a prostitute. He watches her get murdered by her pimp, a one-armed man named Jesus. He lets Jesus take him under his wing, but is really planning to kill him, which he does at the end of the song.

I am almost afraid to ask, but what song is THAT from?

[HeyCoffeeEyes]

"dignity is not physical, and your flesh means more than you."

I fucking love that song.

"And now you've come to accept that
Your anatomy defines more than a few of the gaping holes in our social fabric
And it defines more than a few one night stands,
more than a few prison bars melted into wedding bands"

"Know we'll all wake up one day with a gun to the back of our brains
You'll be asking for your rib and I'll smile and I'll call you brave
Maybe someday when, when this bloody skull has dried I'll know our city is in ruins
And the greatest source of pride is a monument of dicks and ribs and gender crowns we wore
Where underneath, a plaque will read, 'No woman is a whore' "

so many good lines.... actually, the whole album is full of great lyrics.

"Amen to the fools and the cossacks and the pulpits
Amen to the people who think there's still a way to help us"

"What will happen to our children when the least of us pass on?
Us who fought the monsters of our country's crowded closet
Us who dropped the bombs on goodness when we saw it wasn't flawless
Us whose youthful life was hostage to what harm did
Us who fought the hardest to be swept under the carpet"

"If I had a gun I'd pump your ethics full of lead
If I believed in meat I'd eat a plateful of our dead

There's merit in construction when it's done with your own hands
There's beauty in destruction, resurrection, another chance
There's a you and I in union but just an I in our beliefs
There's a crashing plane with a banner that reads everyone's naïve

...

I'd rather kill a stupid flower and spread its seeds around
Until a garden with our bullet-laden morals will be found"

the album is pure poetry, such sick metaphors and such. so well done, arif is a genius.

[Judge'sDaughter]

You have to live until you die. Drowning is dying. So either way, it doesn't make that much sense.
It is a pretty cool lyric, though.

I have a new one [just because it has been stuck in my head]

Tiramisu nyappy popo,
Popo nyappy tiramisu,
Tiramisu nyappy popo,
Popo nyappy!

[my9ridesshotgun]

Baby I've been here before
I've seen this room and I've walked this floor, You know
I used to live alone before I knew ya
And I've seen your flag on the marble arch
and love is not a victory march
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah

Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah...

jeff buckleys version is so much better than leonard cohens....

I say this as a Christian - that is one of my favorite lyrics of all time.

[PunkDrums182]

i may get some shit for this one:

"the past is only the future with the lights on"
-+44 "Baby, Come On"
That's little death not baby come on. Also i don't know why mark likes that line so much, that song is one of my least favorites from the album

[PunkDrums182]

"I won't always love these selfish things. I won't always live, not stopping."

I love that song/line.

[duhpunk]

That's little death not baby come on. Also i don't know why mark likes that line so much, that song is one of my least favorites from the album

Quit crying your eyes out. Quit crying your eyes out and baby come on
As if there's something familiar about me, the past is only the future with the lights on.

I like one lyric from sum41s new song march of the dogs. 'I dont believe in politics, just a bunch of fools and hipocrites' because its true

I definently agree. Best lyric EVER.

[drmsofpsilocybi]

You know that I care what happens to you,
And I know that you care for me.
So I don't feel alone,
Or the weight of the stone,
Now that I've found somewhere safe
To bury my bone.
And any fool knows a dog needs a home,
A shelter from pigs on the wing.

you figure it out.

That's deep

I like this one too

[kwsqd]

I threw out the phone to try to get through to you

[WFUJerseyJon]

It's not the best, and it's only good in terms of tongue in cheek-ness, but Fall Out Boy's 'Let's play this game called when you catch fire, I wouldn't piss to put you out' has always been a favorite.

And two more that are legitimately good are:

Soco's 'I met a girl who kept tattoos of all the homes she's loved. If I were her I'd paint my body til all my skin was gone.'

Thursday's 'If we fly a white flag under a black and blue sky will the red sun rise?'

I think if I had to pin one down, it'd be:

Buy me a shiny new machine
That runs on lies and gasoline
And all those batteries we stole from smoke alarms
It disassembles my despair
It never me took me anywhere
It never once bought me a drink

[Mxbaby511]

The best thing about tonight's that we're not fighting
Could it be that we have been this way before?
I know you don't think that I am trying
I know you're wearing thin down to the core

But hold your breath
Because tonight will be the night
That I will fall for you over again
Don't make me change my mind

Or I won't live to see another day
I swear it's true
Because a girl like you's impossible to find
You're impossible to find

This is not what I intended
I always swore to you I'd never fall apart
You always thought that I was stronger
I may have failed, but I have loved you from the start

Ohh, but hold your breath
Because tonight will be the night
That I will fall for you over again
Don't make me change my mind

Or I won't live to see another day
I swear it's true
Because a girl like you's impossible to find
It's impossible

So breathe in so deep
Breathe me in, I'm yours to keep
And hold on to your words 'cause talk is cheap
And remember me tonight when you're asleep

Because tonight will be the night
That I will fall for you over again
Don't make me change my mind

Or I won't live to see another day
I swear it's true
Because a girl like you's impossible to find

Tonight will be the night
That I will fall for you over again
Don't make me change my mind

Or I won't live to see another day
I swear it's true
Because a girl like you's impossible to find
You're impossible to find
