Favourite Lyric?

Recommended Posts

Guest caboose

Everyone has favourite songs, but what is your favourite line or lyric from any song. That one line or lyric that hooks you onto the song, and gives the song it's special feel for you?

 

My choice is from Metallica's 'For Whom The Bell Tolls':

 

'Take a look to the sky just before you die, it's the last time you will...'

 

I don't know why but that line just grabs me. Maybe because when you die, you appreciate everything you took for granted and looking to the sky for the last time makes you appreciate life that little bit more.

"I bought me an illusion

And I put it on the wall

I let it fill my head with dreams

And I had to have them all

But oh the taste is never so sweet

As what you'd believe it is-

Well I guess it never is

It's these prejudiced illusions

That pump the blood

To the heart of the biz" - Locomotive

It changes often and I go back and forth with old songs and new songs.

 

Right now though, I'd have to say it's any part of "Bring Me To Life" by Evanesence. It hits me on many levels. This is a favorite part:

 

Now that I know what I'm without, you can't just leave me. Breathe into me and make me real. Bring me . . . to life.

 

I think that's how it goes anyway. I can't remember where I found lyrics at.

"And while you're sitting there, crying for your dead friend

He's up there getting paid, getting mad ends

Fragments of what used to be"

See sig.

 

Also,

 

One day I'll try

to give the world a view

to alienate the prime

performing is fictitious and confined

I believe I'll get through to you don't leave yourself entombed

there's a way to change a mind

I'm waiting for you to realize that

We live within the plastic plan

forming to ban the plastic plan

 

I'm a CKY mark.

Plastic Plan is a great song.

YEAH~% I'm gonna go listen to frizzle fry, methinks. And the queen is dead.

 

'oh the alcoholic afternoons, when we sat in your room, they meant more to me than any, than any living thing on earth' - These things take time - The smiths, duh. Any smiths song will do for me. Except golden lights, but they didn't write it. I'm too lazy to discuss other bands right now.

More Smiths goodness:

 

Boot the grime of this world in the crotch, dear - "Panic"

 

The sun shines out of our behinds - "Hand in Glove"

 

---

 

Here's one of my favourite lyrics from Millencolin:

 

I don't care where I belong no more

What we share or not I will ignore

And I won't waste my time fitting in

'Cuz I don't think contrast is a sin - "No Cigar"

 

And possibly anything written by the Trash Can Sinatras is just pure pun heaven:

 

Hands of the clock give me a round of applause

for getting out of bed and the scars of the night before

have turned into scabs and still I'm seeing double - "The Best Man's Fall"

 

looking at my watch and i'm half-past caring - "Obscurity Knocks"

 

and the itch to get rich quick

has never been so hard to reach

with my hands tied behind my back - "Only Tongue Can Tell"

Why is the sun hot?

Why does it rain?

Why is there danger and

Why is there pain?

Why can't the burden

We carry go away?

And why isn't it Friday today?

 

I love this song by Phish so much...

Jay-Z from "What they gonna do"

 

"I stands up in it like a champ up in it

Be up in it so long, get my calls transferred in it

No more minute man in it

Get my Soundscan, BDS, and Market and Glance in it"

 

I haven't been much of a Jay-Z fan lately but I love that part for some reason.

"i go home to the coast

it starts to rain

i paddle out on the water

alone

taste the salt and taste the pain

i'm not thinkin' of you again

summer dies and swells rise

the sun goes down in my eyes

see this rolling wave

darkly coming to take me home"

Bringin the DAVE~!

 

"It's crazy I'm thinking

Just as long as you're around

And here I'll be dancing on the ground

Am I right side up or upside down

To each other we'll be facing

By love we'll beat back the pain

we've found

You know

I mean to tell you all the things I've been thinking deep inside

My friend

With each moment the more I love you

Crush me

Come on

Lady

So much you have given love

That I would give you back

Again and again

Meaning I'll hold you

And please

Let me always"

--Crush

 

"Love! love!? what more is there?

We need the light of love in here

Don't beat your head

Dry your eyes

Let the love in there

There are bad times

But that's ok

Just look for love in it

Don't burn the day away"

--Pig

 

"Bartender please, fill my glass for me

With the wine you gave Jesus that set him free after three days in the ground"
