Your Favourite Song Lyrics

[Hagan]

Hello all.

Here's something I'd been contemplating for a long while...

I LOVE all my music and thought this would be an interesting idea:

Tell us your favourite lyrics from your favourite songs. Be it funny, hardcore, inspirational, motivational or simply just relateable to you.

My favourite song technically doesn't have lyrics since it's a remix of a remix of an Original Score from Silent Hill.


[Bass remix composed by: Saki XL]

However, most of Linkin Park's lyrics are those I feel I can personally relate to.


Here's on from Jay-Z I can currently relate to:

"99 Problems"

If you're having girl problems I feel bad for you, son
I got 99 problems but a bitch ain't one

-- Jay-Z

One of my favorite songs is Dire Straights - Sultans of Swing.

One, it's just a great easy listening song, and Mark Knopfler is frikken awesome, but I think I also relate to the story having played lots of gigs at dodgy pubs when I was younger, and the story of the band just makes me feel all nostalgic and stuff.

From Linkin Park, Victimised

they're acting like they want a riot, it's a riot I'll give them
As the sound climbs higher on this violent rhythm
For you snakes in the grass, supplying the venom
I ain't scared of your teeth, I admire what's in em
Keep 'em waiting in the shadows there, thinking they hidden
But the truth is you don't have the stomach to get em
Go on already, hit em! Yeah, you gotta be kiddin'
Wanna talk about a victim, Imma put you there with 'em!

[Mephisto_Helix]

When my fiancee died, I wrote and composed a song for her funeral ....... there is no ego attached to this, it's just the lyrics that I love the most because it literally is so personal. It is a bit NSFW, take note




I`ve lost my identity … given up on life
All I asked for was a sign
All I wanted was the truth
But all I got were your lies
Your incessant fucked up lies

Conquered me and rejected me
Dismissive of my imperfection
Shamed and dead inside
Ignorant of my degeneration

I’ve lost my soul … just gave it away
All I hoped for was to see your face
All I needed was some peace
But all I got was your pain
Your unbearable ripping pain

Conquered me and rejected me
Sickened by my imperfection
Shamed and dead inside
Ignorant of my degeneration

I am nothing … wasted and desolate
All I wanted was your faith
All I yearned for was control
But all I got was your loss
Your destructive fucking loss

Conquered me and rejected me
Burnt by my imperfection
Shamed and dead inside
Ignorant of my degeneration

[Cicero]

Modern Life is War - I'm not Ready

In this life there are no clean breaks...
But starting again is a chance that you can take.
I always thought that someday we would overcome the bad luck
And from the burden the gift would come.
Maybe I should have known better.
But I know we're coming closer to the end of whatever this has been.
When you're 16 you don't know what forever means.
When you are 23 you couldn't be more sorry to say.
That after all this growing up together all the good has gone away.
Sometimes the boys that should be yours best friends become strangers with familiar faces.
Just don't tell me that it's all too far gone...
That they weren't meant to live on...
And don't let go.
I just don't want to have to pretend...
If we're not in this together...
If we're just stuck inside our own heads.
And I'm sorry that it took me so long to find the words to write the song
That we can all still truly believe in
But I truly believe that we can still start again.

[Tsar]

Hands on the wheel
All is straight ahead
Left behind
Second guessing all that I once said
I once said
I once said

My spirit is bent and there's blood on my hands
The more I'm down, the less I understand
Once so found, now so lost
I ask no questions, it's just one more bridge to cross

All is black and white
Wouldn't change even if I could
I'll take what I'm handed
Whether it's damned or if it's good
If it's good
If it's good

My spirit is bent and there's blood on my hands
The more I'm down, the less I understand
Once so found, now so lost
I ask no questions, it's just one more bridge to cross

My spirit is bent and there's blood on my hands
The more I'm down, the less I understand
Once so found, now so lost
I ask no questions, it's just one more bridge to cross
I ask no questions, it's just one more bridge to cross
I ask no questions, it's just one more bridge to cross

Lupe Fiasco - The Instrumental

Uh.. yeah
He just sits, and watches the people in the boxes
Everything he sees he absorbs and adopts it
He mimics and he mocks it
Really hates the box but he can't remember how to stop, it
Uh, so he continues to watch it
Hoping that it'll give him something that he can box with
Or how the locksmith, see the box as, locked in the box
Ain't got the combination to unlock, it
That's why he watch-es, scared to look away
Cause at that moment, it might show him
What to take off the locks with
So he chained himself to the box, took a lock and then he locked it
Swallowed the combination and then forgot, it
As the doctors jot it all down, with they pens and pencils
The same ones that took away his voice
And just left this instrumental, like that

[Chorus: Jonah Matranga + (Lupe)]
And he never lies (he never lies, he never lies, uh)
And he never lies (uh, he never lies, he never lies, no)
And he never lies (he never lies)
Cause he never said anything at all

[Lupe Fiasco]
He just sits, and listens to the people in the boxes
Everything he hears he absorbs and adopts it
Anything not coming out the box he blocks it
See he loves to box and hope they never stop it
Anything the box tell him to do, he does it
Anything it tell him to get, he shops and he cops it
He protects the box, locks it in a box
when he goes to sleep, but he never sleeps
Cause he stays up to watch it, scared to look away
Cause at that moment, it might get stolen
And that's the last of the boxes
So he chained himself to the box, took a lock and then he locked it
Swallowed the combination and then forgot, it
As the doctors jot it all down, with they pens and pencils
The same ones that took away his voice
And just left this instrumental, like that

[Chorus]

[Lupe Fiasco]
(Anything at all..) He never lies
Uh, and you can't tell me just who you are
You buy new clothes just to hide those scars
You built that roof just to hide those stars
Now you can't take it back to the start
And you can't tell me just who you are
You buy new clothes just to hide those scars
You built that roof just to hide those stars
Now you can't take it back to the start

[Chorus]

[Lupe Fiasco]
(Anything at all.. anything at all..)
Uh, and you can't tell me just who you are
You buy new clothes just to hide those scars
You built that roof just to hide those stars
Now you can't take it back to the start
And you can't tell me just who you are
You buy new clothes just to hide those scars
You built that roof just to hide those stars
Now you can't take it back to the start

[Cicero]

Wow, some seriously different music tastes on this forum!

Lord Lord Lord by Kanye West ft Mos Def and Swizz Beats. In particular Verse 1 by Mos Def

[Verse 1: Mos Def]
The power of observation
Marvels and frights and strange delights
Attributes, properties, disciplines and novelties
Ecstatic patterns in the calendar design
Wilderness tours, guided for and by the blind
Cool ruler standing still sweating through the shades
He knew those lights only grew bright to fade
Dead wrong pageantry, lottery and games
Sleight of hand provided by extravagant and fake
The carnival tilt bell the hustle for the age
They clutch what they covet, what must they give away?
Who was uninvited who was asked to come and stay?
Surprise, it's your life, it's your business anyway
So please pardon these and such curious minds
Peace, safe passage, precious time hither and gone
The day of days, Yawm al-Qiyāmah
This tiny stone illuminated by a star
The only star so large many more
To make our largest star show small
Furthermore, the end is not the end no stop but a pause
And what we can witness isn't all there is at all
Custom mock of a scotch and pork chops
The passion, expansion, the order of the random
See the dreamers, see the sleepers
Why'd you wake them?
Sweet Jesus and life on Earth
Seek heaven first
Let's put in this work
