[emoney1892]

Youll find a bottle by my head tonight
(Where i fix the problems that i fight)
The sips were bitter sweet and they just
(Take away my feet its just so good)

Aniston - Pick or Choose

[Regards]

Search Function always has good ones.

[popdisaster00]

Dude that's an awful set of lyrics, too.

[Pluto.]

I like a lot. I'll try my best to narrow it down though. Orchid and The Dead Kennedys have some of my favorites.

Orchid - Beautification Committee

"Maybe we should blow this town up.
You, me, and some dynamite.
We'll hold hands and watch it burn.
Breaking windows and chalking words...my heart is beating so fast.
I can hardly breathe.
Maybe we should blow this whole town up.
We'll hold hands and watch it burn to the ground."

Lots of songs from DK but they're pretty long.

Comadre - Burn the Scene

"We'll take the scene, and burn it down, rebuild the love, take back the sound."

Toru Okada - So He Could Hear His Footsteps

"We lit a fire that lasts forever in a house that no one owns. (It's not your fault) We lit a fire that lasts forever in a city that no one owns."

Pig Destroyer - Gravedancer

"A six year old girl dances on my ceiling, she might as well be dancing on my grave."

Opeth - Deliverance

"The devil guides the day, tells me what to say, pours himself inside, and snuffs the final light."

This one's my ultimate favorite.

"In the last weeks of his life, Ted, a high school seniour, drew fantasy cartoons and recorded his thoughts in a secret code that only a close friend could decipher. Part of Ted's obituary, written shortly before he killed himself read,

"My I.Q. is one-hundred and fourty-two. My mind is diseased, that I know. I am going to kill myself. What a relief it was. I am so much better now. You cannot do wrong when you are dead. Time is infinite and we are at the beginning."

I think I got a bit carried away :P. I like a lot of Bright Eyes lyrics aswell...there's so many more but I think I'll stop now hah.

[Neo Cassady]

this thread has had zero good lyrics so far...

[Pluto.]

Aw well.

[Neo Cassady]

Aw well.

I was mostly just being a dick. It may be because I'm not really a fan of the bands you posted...the Orchid lyrics actually aren't that bad. I did notice you mentioned Bright Eyes; post some of your favorites of theirs.

It's okay. It's weird, when I listen to the songs with the lyrics I posted, it sounds nice, and I like the lyrics for my own reasons personally. But when I type them and re read them, it's not special and I don't have the same feeling as I do when I listen to, it verbally per se. If...that makes sense. Aha, nah it's fine. I think I'm done with posting lyrics. :P

Sometimes content leads, leads to stagnant and stagnant leads to contempt.
Contempt leads to the present.

[theguy77]

this is kind of pointless to pick out favorite stanzas. like what is the point of writing a song if only 4 lines of it is going to stand out?

[Angylion Gefell]

Cause we're all soldiers here and yet we haven't learned to fight
The History of our fathers hasn't taught us what we need to learn
If we could see the future would we see the buildings burn?

MxPx, Role Remodeling.

I'm in love with my lust
Burning angel wings to dust
I wish I had your angel tonight

Nightwish, Wish I Had an Angel.

I remember when I was told a story of crushed velvet, candle wax, and dried up flowers.
The figure on the bed, all dressed up in roses, calling...
Beckoning to sleep...
Offering a dream

AFI, Days of the Phoenix.

I made a god out of blood
Not superiority
I killed the king of deceit
Now I sleep in anarchy

Sacrifice to the cause
Turn your code into law
Compensate to validate the loss
Take a thief
Nail him to a cross

Gospel of rage
Faction of hate
Deviate from the absolute
Born of revenge
Raised on cement
Chaos created government

I made a god out of blood
Not superiority
I killed the king of deceit
Wake me up in anarchy

KMFDM, Anarchy.

[checkered.stars]

When you laugh you'll feel
my breath there filling up
your lungs. And when you cry
those arent your tears but Im
there falling down your cheek.
And when you say you love him
taste me, Im like poison on
your tongue. But when your
tired, if your quiet, you'll
hear me singing you to sleep
-Bullet to Binary, mewithoutYou

the fragile keep secrets
gathered in pockets
and they’ll sell them for nothing
a cheap watch or locket
that kind of gold washes off
and the sad act like lepers
they stick to the shadows
they long to ring bells of warning
to tell of their coming
so that the pure can shut their doors
and the angry are animals senseless and savage
they act without order in logical lapses
they stain their mouths with blood
so take my hand
this barren land is alive tonight
and the corn has grown
stalks that form a wall to hide
but the wind carries sounds
that I can't see from beyond that line
then the stalks begin to sway
oh, stay with me Arienette
until the wolves are away
well, the wicked are vultures
and they bake in the canyons
they circle in sunlight
and wait for their victims
to collapse and call to them
the desperate are water
they’ll run down forever as they soak into silence,
and end up together in a dark and distant
dark and distant place
so don't leave me here
with only mirrors watching me
this house it holds nothing but the memories
and the moon it leaves silver but never sleep
and then the silver turns to gray
oh, stay with me Arienette
until the wolves are away
are away.
-Arienette, Bright Eyes

This is retarded.

[SLoT]

This is retarded.
what song is that from.

[chaosB4storm]

what song is that from.

hahaha wondering the same thing.

We're never gonna feel quite as full as we felt
So let's go outside and we'll play William Tell
Take your time drawing your bead
I'll stand as still as you need
'Cause you're so good at talking smack
You heart attack
But you're the apple of my eye anyway...

Not my favourite (because I don't have a favourite) but it's the first thing that came to mind.

[guitarpickheart]

"Just my undivided honesty" always stood out to me. I like a lot of lyrics, but most of them are probably ones everyone's sick of hearing anyway.

[IWasaCamera]

hahaha
