[Feenucks]

Which albums have your favorite opening lines? As in, which ones get the album started off right and set the stage for the whole expericene?

Mine are:

The Wonder Years - "Moved all my shit into my parent's basement and out of our old apartment"

This Glass Embrace - "It was Winter today when I woke up"

Underoath - "So let's not even try..."

Taking Back Sunday - "So sick, so sick of being tired..."

The Stiletto Formal - "I could save us all, or I could lead you home, or I could wait and then asphyxiate your every thought and word."

Straylight Run - "Taken in context, it's not a bad thing..."

Manchester Orchestra - "I could've sworn that I saw you knee bent on the bedside..."

Rise Against - "If we're the flagship of peace and prosperity, we're taking on water and about to fucking sink!"

The Mars Volta - "Clipside of the pinkeye flight. I'm not the percent you think survives."

Emery - "Time runs out!"

There's plenty more...but I figured I'd just throw ten lines out there. What are your favorite album openers?

[Mr. November]

Fucking your pussy was like fucking the wound from a shotgun blast, with gangrene

[daftpunker45]

"I got the talk when I was younger"

[TheRealJohnOC]

"I took a beating..in 2003"
"I did this to myself, the summer air burning in my lungs, one more glance till i come undone, let's stop this rising sun."

Edit: There's a lot more lines I like but I can't think of them right now.

[Almost421]

Silverstein - "We'll keep calm and carry on, with good intentions."

[SomedayTheFire]

Some pretty uninspiring lines there.

[f00te]

of course
"and the album begins with a song of rebellion"

[KenneyBN]

"When I look into the mirror I see a boy not a man" - Have Heart

[stereokiller]

The Format - Dog Problems
Ashes to ashes
Some dust on the dash
I've got my cigarettes
but I can't find the fire
that's calming me down

The Matches - Decomposer
Do you belong to a song?
Does it drag you along by the tongue at the top of your lungs?

Sufjan Stevens - Age of Adz
It's been a long, long time since I've memorized your face

[drat!]

Every Time I Die - I Suck (Blood)

I'd rather beg your forgiveness than solicit permission. I'd rather know that it broke your heart than doubt that it will.

[Neo Cassady]

My father was a paper plane,
My mother was a wind swept tree,
My little brother's nearly twice my age
He taught me how to meditate, I taught him how to read.
I grew up with a book in my bag,
I got these dark circles before I turned ten.
Heard my mother with her friends worry it was something she did
To get such a serious kid

--Dessa

[Jake Jenkins]

"gloomy on sunny days, shadows, no house or trees, prayer is not close to me as i bow down and take a knee"

[_><_]

"I wanna watch you suck his dick"

[Fourchordwonder]

This song will become the anthem of your underground.

[iamNex]

I'm parting the sea between brightness and me / before I drown myself / and everyone / and everything.
