This is my last post in this thread. Even though I know hundreds of songs with (in my opinion) some great lyrics.

This is by far my favurate peicing of lyrics. Written by Corey Taylor for Stone Sour, its about George W. Bush.

Can you take away
Every single day
That we have given to another false prophet?

Can you give us all
A reason not to fall
Before you take away another broken promise?

Show your pretty face,
Hide the bitter taste,
You're still a rapist of an entire nation.

You wanna be the man?
You gotta be a man.
But you are nothing but a sad insinuation.

How can we ever live this down?
How can we ever live this down?

Keep your fingers crossed,
The truth is all but lost.
Big decision for an ordinary coward.

The only problem is
You're f*cking rhetoric.
We're more in danger than before you took power.

Now it's just a game,
God, you'll never change.
You'll sell us out if you can only find a buyer.

You don't give a shit,
As long as idiots
Are in your corner, you can set us all on fire.

How can we ever live this down?
How can we ever live this down?

You never wanted to be,
They only wanted parody.
You want the world to be free.
What the hell is free about it?

Now we've reached the end,
Just get it over with.
But this is building to an adament conclusion.

Come what(ever) may,
There's going to be a day,
When we have figured out a possible solution.

Everything you've done
Is killing everyone.
A little smile on a homicidal b*stard.

You wanna be the man?
You gotta have a plan.
Another failure is a guaranteed disaster.

How can we ever live this down?
How can we ever live this down?

You never wanted to be,
They only wanted a parody.
You want the world to be free.

You only wanted the world,
You never wanted to be.
They only wanted a parody.
You want the world to be free.
What the f*ck is free about it?

Well, not sure about others, but if you tend to listen to heavy music, be prepared for sad/depressive/angsty lyrics. It's not easy to combine cheerful words with such king of music. To smoothen things a bit, here is a song called "Alive" by P.O.D. The whole "Satellite" album is more... popular than heavy, but I liked it. And the "Alive" song caught me because it explains my feelings towards better than anything I've heard so far.
Like Homer said once, "I wish I knew what to say... although maybe this music will help?"

Everyday is a new day
I'm thankful for
Every breath I take
I won't take you for granted
So I learn from my mistakes

It's beyond my control
Sometimes it's best to let go
Whatever happens in this lifetime
So I trust in love
You have given me peace of mind

I feel so alive
For the very first time
I can't deny you
I feel so alive
For the very first time
And I think I can fly

Sunshine upon my face
A new song for me to sing
Tell the world
How I feel inside
Even though it might cost me everything

Now that I know this
So beyond, I can't hold this
I can never turn my back away
Now that I've seen you
I can never look away

I feel so alive
For the very first time
I can't deny you
I feel so alive
For the very first time
And I think I can fly

I've held of on posting these particular ones, as they make me seem more obsessive than I like to think myself. But on occasions in the past when I've been up to god knows what time with some piece of fanart, agonising over the fact I can't get quite the right tone for the shadows on her dress, they've seemed bitterly appropriate. The song title is even the right colour 

Vermillion Pt. 2

she seems dressed in all of me, stretched across my shape
all the torment and the pain, leaked through and covered me
I'd do anything to have her to myself, just to have her for myself
now i don't know what to do, don't know what to do
when she makes me sad

she is everything to me, the unrequited dream
a song that no-one sings, the unattainable
she's a myth that I have to believe in, all i need to make it real is one more reason
i don't know what to do, don't know what to do
when she makes me sad

but i won't let this build up inside of me
catch in my throat, choke, torn into pieces I won't, no
I don't want to be this
but i won't let this build up inside of me

she isn't real
I can't make her real

Thanks. Yeah, that's why I posted it. Here's another 2 Green Day songs: Holiday, and Boulevard of Broken Dreams. The first one, Holiday, I think it's saying what the world would be like if things get worse. The second one is what describes me, at least IMO. Not knowing whether I'm happy or sad, angry or calm, just some nonexistent thing in-between.

"Holiday"

Say, Hey!

Hear the sound of the falling rain
Coming down like an Armageddon flame (Hey!)
The shame
The ones who died without a name

Hear the dogs howling out of key
To a hymn called "Pain and Misery" (Hey!)
And bleed, the company lost the war today

I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
This is the dawning of the rest of our lives
On holiday

Hear the drum pounding out of time
Another protestor has crossed the line (Hey!)
To find, the money's on the other side

Can I get another Amen? (Amen!)
There's a flag wrapped around a score of men (Hey!)
A gag, a plastic bag on a monument

I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
This is the dawning of the rest of our lives
On holiday

(Hey!)

(Three Four!)

"The representative from California has the floor"

Zieg Heil to the president gasman
Bombs away is your punishment
Pulverize the Eiffel towers
Who criticize your government
Bang bang goes the broken glass and
Kill all the fags that don't agree
Trials by fire, setting fire
Is not a way that's meant for me
Just cause, just cause, because we're outlaws yeah!

I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
This is the dawning of the rest of our lives
I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
This is the dawning of the rest of our lives

This is our lives on holiday!


"Boulevard Of Broken Dreams"

I walk a lonely road
The only one that I have ever known
Don't know where it goes
But it's home to me and I walk alone

I walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
Where the city sleeps
and I'm the only one and I walk alone

I walk alone
I walk alone

I walk alone
I walk a...

My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
'Til then I walk alone

Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Aaah-ah,
Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Ah-ah

I'm walking down the line
That divides me somewhere in my mind
On the border line
Of the edge and where I walk alone

Read between the lines
What's f****d up and everything's alright
Check my vital signs
To know I'm still alive and I walk alone

I walk alone
I walk alone

I walk alone
I walk a...

My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
'Til then I walk alone

Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Aaah-ah
Ah-ah, Ah-ah

I walk alone
I walk a...

I walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
Where the city sleeps
And I'm the only one and I walk a...

My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
'Til then I walk alone...

Here's another BD song, I think I might do some simpsons pictures with some lines of this in them, but here's the song:

A Hard Rain

Oh, where have you been, my blue-eyed son?
Oh, where have you been, my darling young one?
I've stumbled on the side of twelve misty mountains,
I've walked and I've crawled on six crooked highways,
I've stepped in the middle of seven sad forests,
I've been out in front of a dozen dead oceans,
I've been ten thousand miles in the mouth of a graveyard,
And it's a hard, and it's a hard, it's a hard, and it's a hard,
And it's a hard rain's a-gonna fall.

Oh, what did you see, my blue-eyed son?
Oh, what did you see, my darling young one?
I saw a newborn baby with wild wolves all around it
I saw a highway of diamonds with nobody on it,
I saw a black branch with blood that kept drippin',
I saw a room full of men with their hammers a-bleedin',
I saw a white ladder all covered with water,
I saw ten thousand talkers whose tongues were all broken,
I saw guns and sharp swords in the hands of young children,
And it's a hard, and it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard,
And it's a hard rain's a-gonna fall.

And what did you hear, my blue-eyed son?
And what did you hear, my darling young one?
I heard the sound of a thunder, it roared out a warnin',
Heard the roar of a wave that could drown the whole world,
Heard one hundred drummers whose hands were a-blazin',
Heard ten thousand whisperin' and nobody listenin',
Heard one person starve, I heard many people laughin',
Heard the song of a poet who died in the gutter,
Heard the sound of a clown who cried in the alley,
And it's a hard, and it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard,
And it's a hard rain's a-gonna fall.

Oh, who did you meet, my blue-eyed son?
Who did you meet, my darling young one?
I met a young child beside a dead pony,
I met a white man who walked a black dog,
I met a young woman whose body was burning,
I met a young girl, she gave me a rainbow,
I met one man who was wounded in love,
I met another man who was wounded with hatred,
And it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard,
It's a hard rain's a-gonna fall.

Oh, what'll you do now, my blue-eyed son?
Oh, what'll you do now, my darling young one?
I'm a-goin' back out 'fore the rain starts a-fallin',
I'll walk to the depths of the deepest black forest,
Where the people are many and their hands are all empty,
Where the pellets of poison are flooding their waters,
Where the home in the valley meets the damp dirty prison,
Where the executioner's face is always well hidden,
Where hunger is ugly, where souls are forgotten,
Where black is the color, where none is the number,
And I'll tell it and think it and speak it and breathe it,
And reflect it from the mountain so all souls can see it,
Then I'll stand on the ocean until I start sinkin',
But I'll know my song well before I start singin',
And it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard,
It's a hard rain's a-gonna fall.

Just wanted to post lyrics myself of 2 songs that have been stuck in my head all week
Both of these songs where introduced to me by two of my friends. They are very different but I still have a hard time not singing along to these

First is "Welcome to the Black parade" by My Chemical Romance introduced to me by a friend at school and I admit that the albums grown on me. It somewhat reminded me of Queen at first and I wasn't suprised to hear that the album was inspired by them as well as The Beatles and Pink Floyd :

 When I was a young boy,
my Father took me into the city,
to see a marching band.

He said "Son when, you grow up, will you be, the savior of the broken, the beaten and the damned."

He said "will you defeat them, your demons and all the non-believers, the plans they have made."

Because one day I'll leave you,
A phantom to lead you in the summer,
To join the black parade."


Sometimes I get the feeling she's watching over me.
And other times I feel like I should go.
Through it all, the rise and fall, the bodies in the streets.
When you're gone we want you all to know

We'll Carry on,
We'll Carry on
Though your dead and gone believe me
Your memory will carry on
We'll carry on
And in my heart I cant contain it
The anthem wont explain it.

and we will send you reeling from decimated dreams
Your misery and hate will kill us all
So paint it black and take it back
Lets shout it loud and clear
do you fight it to the end
we hear the call to
to carry on
we'll carry on
Though your dead and gone believe me
Your memory will carry on
we'll carry on
and though you're broken and defeated
you're wiery widow marches on
and on we carry through the fears
ooh oh ohhhh

dissapointed faces of your peers
ooh oh ohhhh
take a look at me cuz i could not care at all
do or die
you'll never make me
cos the world, will never take my heart
though you try, you'll never break me
we want it all, we wanna play this part
wont explain or say i'm sorry
im not ashamed, i'm gonna show my scar
Give a cheer for all the broken
listen here, because it's only..
i'm just a man, i'm not a hero
just a boy, whos meant to sing this song
just a man, i'm not a hero
i, don't, care

carry on
we'll carry on
Though your dead and gone believe me
Your memory will carry on
you'll carry on
and though you're broken and defeated
you're wiery widow marches on
we'll carry on
we'll carry on


Then another song that I also find incredibly catchy but is in a totaly different style is "Chop Suey" by System of a Down. Casper introduced me to SOAD's stuff a while back. It took me a while to catch on though, like with most bands, but some of their songs really grew on me and I decided to browse music on the internet. I rememebred hearing Chop Suey on Kerrang ages ago and decided to look for it. Now I've found it,..I've lost count of how many times I've acturaly played this song  . Anyway, the lyrics are kinda,...deep and complex. Anyway, lyrics:

Wake up,
Grab a brush and put a little (makeup),
Grab a brush and put a little,
Hide the scars to fade away the (shakeup)
Hide the scars to fade away the,
Why'd you leave the keys upon the table?
Here you go create another fable

You wanted to,
Grab a brush and put a little makeup,
You wanted to,
Hide the scars to fade away the shakeup,
You wanted to,
Why'd you leave the keys upon the table,
You wanted to,

I don't think you trust,
In, my, self righteous suicide,
I, cry, when angels deserve to die, Die,

Wake up,
Grab a brush and put a little (makeup),
Grab a brush and put a little,
Hide the scars to fade away the (shakeup)
Hide the scars to fade away the,
Why'd you leave the keys upon the table?
Here you go create another fable

You wanted to,
Grab a brush and put a little makeup,
You wanted to,
Hide the scars to fade away the shakeup,
You wanted to,
Why'd you leave the keys upon the table,
You wanted to,

I don't think you trust,
In, my, self righteous suicide,
I, cry, when angels deserve to die
In my, self righteous suicide,
I, cry, when angels deserve to die

Father, Father, Father, Father
Father, Into your hands, I, commend my spirit,
Father, into your hands,

Why have you forsaken me,
In your eyes forsaken me,
In your thoughts forsaken me,
In your heart forsaken, me oh,

Trust in my self righteous suicide,
I, cry, when angels deserve to die,
In my self righteous suicide,
I, cry, when angels deserve to die.

Ah the offspring, My older brother went to school with the Drummer of the band. They both went to pacifica High School, in Garden Grove California. Dont believe me? Then do some research about the band.

This song describes me well... heh, just kidding, but both the music and lyrics are great.
Everclear - Out Of My Depth

Out of my depth
Lost in the air
Falling faster
Like a broken elevator

Out of my depth
Lost in the dark
Waiting for that other shoe
To come down hard

I cannot communicate
Like I wish I could
I do not deal with my problems
Like I know I should

I am out of my depth
I am out of my league
Watching everything
Just slip away from me

Something bad is going to happen
I can feel it deep inside
There are shadows all around me
Like a bad moon on the rise

I am in over my head
I am in too deep here
Over my head
I guess I should keep my opinions to myself
I guess I am out of my depth

Out of my depth
Right from the start
I feel like I was born
With an invisible heart
Out of my depth
Seems like everyday
I can't find the words
To make the good things come my way

Yes, I feel like I am faking it
I feel like I am wrong
I feel like I'm a guest
Like I just do not belong

I am out of my depth
Every single day
I just cannot find the words
To make my monsters go away

Something bad is going to happen
I can feel it deep inside
There are shadows all around me
Like a bad moon on the rise

I am in too deep here
Over my head
Yes, I am in too deep here
Over my head
I should seek some professional help
Because I'm out of my depth
Yes, I am out of my depth
And I am slowly going out of my mind

Oh, go away
Make them go away
Someday I know
I will make them go away
Make them go away
Make them go away
Someday I know I will
Make my monsters go away

I am in over my head
I should seek some professional help
I should keep my opinions to myself
I guess I'm out of my depth
I am out of my depth
I am out of my depth
I am out of my...uh, uh, WAHHHHH!!!

I am out of my depth
I am out of my depth
I am out of my depth
I am out of my depth

I am out of my depth
I am out of my depth
I am out of my depth
Yes, I am slowly going out of my mind
