Hey guys!
Thought I’d try another thread kind of in the realm of the band name game and sobe songs. This one is lyrics from songs that hit that homer un when you hear the words in your ear holes. Doesn’t have to be any particular length, post the whole song or the chorus or a single line. I’ll start:
And I know I may end up failing too, but I know you were just like me with someone dissapointed in you. - Linkin Park | Numb
"If there were no reward to reap,
No loving embrace to see me through,
This tedious path I’ve chosen here,
I certainly would’ve walked away by now.
Gonna wait it out.
If there were no desire to heal
A damaged and broken man along
This tedious path I’ve chosen here
I certainly would’ve walked away by now"
TooL - the patient
I know the pieces fit cause I watched them fall away 
Mildewed and smoldering. Fundamental differing.
Linkin Park – Breaking The Habit
Memories consume like opening the wounds
I’m picking me apart again
You all assume
I’m safe here in my room
Unless I try to start again
I don’t want to be the one the battles always choose
’cause inside I realize that I’m the one confused
I don’t know what’s worth fighting for
Or why I have to scream
I don’t know why I instigate
And say what I don’t mean
I don’t know how I got this way
I know it’s not alright
So I’m breaking the habit
I’m breaking the habit tonight
Clutching my cure
I tightly lock the door
I try to catch my breath again
I hurt much more than any time before
I have no options left again
I don’t want to be the one the battles always choose
’cause inside I realize that I’m the one confused
I don’t know what’s worth fighting for
Or why I have to scream
I don’t know why I instigate
And say what I don’t mean
I don’t know how I got this way
I’ll never be alright
So I’m breaking the habit
I’m breaking the habit tonight
I’ll paint it on the walls
’cause I’m the one at fault
I’ll never fight again
And this is how it ends
I don’t know what’s worth fighting for
Or why I have to scream
But now I have some clarity to show you what I mean
I don’t know how I got this way
I’ll never be alright
So I’m breaking the habit
I’m breaking the habit
I’m breaking the habit tonight
A perfect circle - gravity
Lost again
Broken and weary
Unable to find my way
Tail in hand
Dizzy and clearly unable to
Just let this go
I am surrendering to gravity and the unknown
Catch me heal me lift me back up to the sun
I choose to live
I fell again
Like a baby unable to stand on my own
Tail in hand
Dizzy and clearly unable to just let this go
High and surrendering to gravity and the unknown
Catch me heal me lift me back up to the sun
I choose to live, I choose to live, I choose to live
Catch me heal me lift me back up to the sun
Help me survive the bottom
Calm these hands before they
Snare another pill and
Drive another nail down another
Needy hole please release me
I am surrendering to gravity and the unknown
Catch me heal me lift me back up to the sun
I choose to live, I choose to live
Titanium by Sia
You shout it out
But I can’t hear a word you say
I’m talking loud not saying much
I’m criticized but all your bullets ricochet
You shoot me down, but I get up
I’m bulletproof nothing to lose
Fire away, fire away
Ricochet, you take your aim
Fire away, fire away
You shoot me down but I won’t fall, I am titanium
You shoot me down but I won’t fall
I am titanium
from Hey Hey Hey~ Michael Franti & Spearhead
I say hey, hey, hey
No matter how life is today
There’s just one thing that I got to say
I won’t let another moment slip away
I hold on, I’m trying to hold on
I hold on, hold on, hold on
From the tops of the buildings to the streets below
Between the Wall Street banks and the empty homes
Between the lines of the people standing all in a row
There’s a crack in the gutter where a flower grows
Reminding me that everything is possible
Yeah, reminding me that nothing is impossible
You gotta live for the one that you love you know
You gotta love for the life that you live you know
I like your style @Rikk and @DarthTjader. Tool and APC have gotten me through some rough times
The snake behind me hisses
What my damage could have been.
My blood before me begs me
Open up my heart again.
And I feel this coming over like a storm again.
Considerately.
Venomous voice, tempts me,
Drains me, bleeds me,
Leaves me cracked and empty.
Drags me down like some sweet gravity.
The snake behind me hisses
What my damage could have been.
My blood before me begs me
Open up my heart again.
And I feel this coming over like a storm again.
Damien Rice - Volcano:
“What I am to you is not real
What I am to you you do not need
What I am to you is not what you mean to me
You give me miles and miles of mountains
And I’ll ask what I give to you
Is just what I’m going through
This is nothing new
No no just another phase of finding what I really need
Is what makes me bleed
And like a new disease she’s still too young to treat
Like a distant tree
Volcanoes melt me down
She’s still too young
I kissed your mouth
You do not need me”
I personally enjoy Johnny Cash’s version more as his voice has that tone of sincerity.
I hurt myself today
To see if I still feel
I focus on the pain
The only thing that’s real
The needle tears a hole
The old familiar sting
Try to kill it all away
But I remember everything
What have I become
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know goes away
In the end
And you could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt
I wear this crown of thorns
Upon my liar’s chair
Full of broken thoughts
I cannot repair
Beneath the stains of time
The feelings disappear
You are someone else
I am still right here
What have I become
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know goes away
In the end
And you could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt
If I could start again
A million miles away
I would keep myself
I would find a way
Though the whole song is one of the most beautiful pieces of lyrical accomplishments of all time the last verse of Hallelujah by Leonard Cohen, to me is the most powerful.
Maybe there’s a God above
All I’ve ever learned from love
Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew you
And it’s not a cry that you hear at night
It’s not somebody who’s seen the light
It’s a cold and it’s a broken Hallelujah
These mirror talks are getting old
The ray of light was a bullethole
And I’m jealous of a kiss
I watch my idle hands
Rock steady in the sinking sand
Did I really sober up for this
Well they say that
One more dance with the devil
Will surely seal my fate
I don’t know where I’m going
I see no reason in being late.
-No Reason Being Late
Jason Boland and The Stragglers
I’ve dealt with my ghosts
and I’ve faced all my demons
Finally content with a past I regret
I’ve found you find strength in your moments of weakness
For once I’m at peace with myself
I’ve been burdened with blame
Trapped in the past for too long
I’m moving on…
I’ve lived in this place
And I know all the faces
Each one is different
But they’re always the same
They mean me no harm
But it’s time that I face it
They’ll never allow me to change
But I never dreamed home would end up where I don’t belong
I’m moving on…
I’m moving on
At last I can see
Life has been patiently waiting for me
And I know there’s no guarantee
But I’m not alone
There comes a time in everyone’s life
When all they can see are the years passing by
And I’ve made up my mind
That those days are gone…
I loved like I should
But lived like I shouldn’t
I had to loose everything to find out
Maybe forgiveness will find me somewhere down this road…
I’m moving on…
Hollywood undead
“This Love, This Hate”
In a time of need only few can see what’s wrong
Millions tend to crawl but only those who choose can make it through this all,
Only few can sing like lions ‘cause we sing until we’re gone
And we’ve got each others backs until we’re back where we belong,
A woman held my shield and through the battle we did wrong,
A man who taught me wisdom through the static we recall,
And maybe when we’ re gone our names will echo through the stars,
Every start’s got it’s ending even when we’ve learned to rise above it all,
These lies are leading me astray its too much for me to stay
I don’t wanna live this destiny it goes on endlessly
I see you so please stay strong
I’ll sing you one last song and then I’m gone
I don’t wanna live this destiny it goes on endlessly
And we once also had a story too
You can see that good men only come in few.
Even in our greatest moments we may win or we may lose
Every song’s got its rules, you’ve got to learn to make it through.
Maybe one day we can choose how it feels to be a woman or a man
Without rules but buried underneath there’s a picture glued.
So when my body burns in ashes only sing the truth
Let these words strengthen all your views
Because these words were meant for you
These lies are leading me astray its too much for me to stay
I don’t wanna live this destiny it goes on endlessly
An’ now I’m floatin’ right above my coffin as it closes I look down
I see sigh as she’s crying on my mamma’s shoulder.
I look up into the sky as the gates to heaven open something’s wrong
Is this destiny or am I goin’ home,
What will happen to my soul will I come back I don’t know,
Will you meet me when its over let me know,
You can meet me here in heaven don’t you ever let me go
This love this hate is burning me away
These lies are leading me astray its too much for me to stay
I don’t wanna live this destiny it goes on endlessly
This love, this hate is burning me away
The last verse and chorus to chop suey by System of a Down:
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
“Medicine” by Daughter
Pick it up, pick it all up.
And start again.
You’ve got a second chance,
you could go home.
Escape it all.
It’s just irrelevant.
It’s just medicine.
It’s just medicine.
You could still be,
what you want to,
What you said you were,
when I met you.
You’ve got a warm heart,
you’ve got a beautiful brain.
But it’s disintegrating,
from all the medicine.
from all the medicine.
from all the medicine.
Medicine.
You could still be,
what you want to be,
What you said you were,
when you met me.
You could still be,
what you want to.
What you said you were,
when I met you.
when you met me.
when I met you.
Ooooooooo…
Ooooooooo…
May I say the name @Moose666 makes me smile from ear to ear. Hail satan
