And I was a cartographer of the tangles in your hair"

One that has just always stuck with me ....

Tonight, my eyes and my arms have been opened You carry me into the light - Into the Light - Gareth Emery feat Mark Frisch

Don’t waste another moment, It’s waiting for you now, So dive in this new begining, Let the glowing show you how - This Light Between Us - Armin van Buuren

And the sun has fallen, and the backbeat's telling truths, That you want to hear, and you want to hear again, And the closer that you get, with the force of all the weight, And it's also clear - Here on this Earth - Tiesto feat. Carey Brothers

You have become, What you have always been, Light flickering around, Peripheral vision, No words we can speak, our paths have been chosen, But all trails that we trek, Should lead us back to here - Love, Comes Again - Tiesto

Leafs are falling on my window, Turning cold in fire with the wind they go, I lost my way where do I go now, This looks just like the road I came down.
Take a moment to live, Take a moment to cry, Take a moment to love, And don't ask why - Take a moment - Armin van Buuren.

I could go on all day. )

**** it all, **** this world, **** everything that you stand for,
Don't belong, don't exist,
Don't give a ****, don't ever judge me.
Picking throught the parts exposed,
Taking shape, taking shag,
Over and over and under my skin,
All this momentum is doing me in!
**** it all, **** this world, **** everything that you stand for,
Don't belong, don't exist,
Don't give a ****, don't ever judge me.
And don't you ****ing judge me!
I gave you all my love, livin' in your own hate,
Drippin' hole man, lost step, no fate,
Show you nothin'but i ain't holdin' back,
Every damn word i say is a sneak attack,
When i get my hands on you,
Ain't a ****ing thing you can do,
Get this coz you're never gonna get me,
I am the very disease you pretend to be!
**Slipknot**
AND

Now this nation that I love is fallin' under attack.
A mighty sucker-punch came flying in from somewhere in the back.
Soon as we could see clearly through our big black eye,
Man, we lit up your world like the fourth of July.
Hey, Uncle Sam put your name at the top of his list,
And the Statue of Liberty started shaking her fist.
And the eagle will fly and it's gonna be hell,
When you hear Mother Freedom start ringing her bell.
And it'll feel like the whole wide world is raining down on you.
Ah, brought to you, courtesy of the red, white and blue.
Oh, justice will be served and the battle will rage:
This big dog will fight when you rattle his cage.
An' you'll be sorry that you messed with the U.S. of A.
'Cos we'll put a boot in your *kitten*, it's the American way.
**Toby Keith**

One of my many favorites is:


"Arise and be all that you dreamed"
-Flyleaf

I love flyleaf!! especially the lead singer, shes 'so sick' lol

one of my favourite lines in a song is Johhny Cash's 'gods gonna cut you down' the full songs lyrics really move me

TheRoadDog

I took myself down to the Tally Ho Tavern,
To buy me a bottle of beer.
And I sat me down by a tender young maiden,
Who's eyes were as dark as her hair.
And as I was searching from bottle to bottle,
For something un-foolish to say.
That silver tongued devil just slipped from the shadows,
And smilingly stole her away.

I said: "Hey, little girl, don't you know he's the devil.
"He's everything that I ain't.
"Hiding intentions of evil,
"Under the smile of a saint.
"All he's good for is getting in trouble,
"And shiftin' his share of the blame.
"And some people swear he's my double:
"And some even say we're the same.
"But the silver-tongued devil's got nothing to lose,
"I'll only live 'til I die.
"We take our own chances and pay our own dues,
"The silver tongued devil and I."

Like all the fair maidens who've laid down beside him,
She knew in her heart that he'd lied.
Nothin' that I could have said could have saved her,
No matter how hard that she tried.
'Cos she'll offer her charms to the darkness and danger,
Of somethin' that she's never known.
And open her arms at the smile of a stranger,
Who'll love her and leave her alone.

And you know, he's the devil.
He's everything that I ain't.
Hiding intentions of evil,
Under the smile of a saint.
All he's good for is getting in trouble,
And shiftin' his share of the blame.
And some people swear he's my double:
And some even say we're the same.
But the silver-tongued devil's got nothing to lose,
I'll only live 'til I die.
We take our own chances and pay our own dues,
Ah ha ha ha.

The silver tongued devil and I.

The world's a roller coaster, and I am not strapped in...
-- 'Wish You Were Here' - Incubus

YES!!! I also love the line "I lean against the wind, pretend that I am weightless, and in this moment I am happy." That one is my FAVORITE.

I have far too many that are my favorites, but this was the first one that came to mind.

"I've been burning in water and drowning in flames" Under The Rose by HIM

ashlielinn

It's impossible for me to pick just one as my favorite, but I have "Take these broken wings and learn to fly" and "Originality's not a curse" in two of my tattoos

'We're just two lost souls
Swimming in a fish bowl
Year after year
Running over the same ol ground
What have we found?
The same old fears. Wish you were here'
~Pink Floyd

There's this love that is burning
Deep in my soul
Constantly yearning to get out of control
Wanting to fly higher and higher
I can't abide standing outside the fire

"you cant be a pimp and a prositiute too"

"do you look to the sky just before you die, its the last time you will"

"I got too much momentum in my direction to loose"

Can't be touched Can't be stopped Can't be moved Can't be rocked Can't be shook

One night in Naples
With the moon and the sea
I met an angel
Who could no longer fly
One night in Naples
We forgot about the stars
And even without wings
He took me to the sky

Flying with him far above the earth
Forgetting the sadness of the evening
In heaven, beyond the clouds
Crazy from love like fireflies

How long can this last?
How many nights to dream?
How many hours, how many days
And infinite caresses?
When you love so much you want to die
Close your eyes and don't think
Time passes, love is fleeting
And the dance will end

Sadly everything must come to an end


But when he broke my heart'
And abandoned me in the sky
I fell back to earth
And swore I 'd never love again

"Una Notte A Napoli" -- Pink Martini

I ain't settling for just gettin' by
I've had enough so so for the rest of my life
tired of shootin' too low
so the raise the bar high
cuz enough ain't enough this time!

The Guns n Roses version though.

I think it pretty much sums up everything.

If it all falls down
If they solve my life
If they find me out
Never thought to keep
All I have found
I've had my fun
If it all falls down

It's an old song, but I have always loved Kate Bush's 'Running Up That Hill' I think it's a haunting and beautifully written song.

beebabe

It might be lame but...

If you're going thru hell,
keep on going.
Don't turn back!
If you're scared don't show it,
you might get out
before the devil even knows you're there!

It is very encouraging when you are down in the dumps and you think things can't get any worse.

and about 10,000 eminem lyrics because vulgar or not he's a lyrical genius.

I second this. The man is mind blowing amazing. Anyone who slags him for being sexist/racist/bigoted etc has clearly NOT listed to any of his albums, cos he SO isn't! I have a could of tattoos in homage to John Lennon, my first and everlasting musical love, but I am sooooo tempted to get one representing Marshal Mathers too.

beebabe

I love Eminem. I'd rather my kids not listen to that because of all the vulgarity but I can relate to alot of his songs. I pray that my kids can't say the same.

3 doors down ... its the only one you've got (chorus) ..

Have to try
And you won't have to fail
If you're afraid to fly
Then i guess you never will
You hide behind your walls
Of maybe nevers
Forgetting that there's something more
Than just knowing better
Your mistakes do not define you now
They tell you who you're not
You've got to live this life you're given
Like it's the only one you've got
