What's your favorite lyric?

ScatteredThoughts

Rain soaked and voice choked
Like silent screaming in a dream
I search for our absolute distinction
Not content to bow and bend
To the whims of culture, that swoop like vultures
Eating us away, eating us away
Eating us away to our extinction

Love's Recovery - Indigo Girls

kb455

Its started with a perfect kiss then
We could feel the poison set in
perfect couldn't keep this love alive

AND

This is not what I intended
I always swore to you I'd never fall apart
You always thought that I was stronger
I may have failed, but I have loved you from the start

Looking at my own reflection
When suddenly it changes
Violently it changes
Oh no, there is no turning back now
You've woken up the demon in me -Disturbed

The best way
To make it through
With hearts and wrists intact
Is to realize
Two out of three ain't bad -Fall Out Boy

You lied to me
But I'm older now
And I'm not buying baby
Demanding my response
Don't bother breaking the door down
I found my way out
And you'll never hurt me again. -Evanescence

Because the wind is high it blows my mind -The Beatles

There are no..
Raindrops on roses and girls in white dresses
It's sleeping with roaches and taking best guesses
At the shade of the sheets and before all the stains
And a few more of your least favorite things. -Panic At The Disco

....and many, many more.

I don't know if it’s my favourite lyric but I’m listening to it right now and its one of favourite songs from an amazing album:

"Too late to turn back now, i'm running out of sound
and i am changing, changing
and if we died right now, this fool you love somehow
... is here with you"

fguillory

I've been roaming to find myself
How long have I been feeling endless hurt
Falling down, rain flows into my heart
In the pain I'm waiting for you
Can't go back
No place to go back to
Life is lost, Flowers fall
If it's all dreams
Now wake me up
If it's all real
Just kill me

It's a tie between these two:

To pick up the tip doesn't mean a lot
Fiddle inside your drawers

OR

You make me feel like a sticky pistil
Leaning into her stamen

Dreamers learn to steer by the stars
All of us do time in the gutter
Dreamers turn to look at the cars.

myak623

I've been travelin for some time
With my fishin pole and my bottle of shine
On these long dark dusty roads
Lookin there's nowhere to go
I guess I gotta hide away, far away
Cause I gotta find a way, to find my way

- and -

I guess i just got lost
Bein' someone else
I tried to kill the pain
Nothin ever helped
I left myself behind
Somewhere along the way
Hopin to come back around
To find myself someday

For those of you who actually think that it really matters who you vote for in our current system, I give you two short lines from that angry band from England...The Who. No truer words were ever written in a rock song.

"Meet the new boss, same as the old boss"

The Who from the song..Won't Get Fooled Again.

After one whole quart of brandy
Like a daisy I awake
With no bromo-seltzer handy
I don't even shake

Men are not a new sensation
I've done plenty well, I think
But this half-pint imitation's put me on the blink

I'm wild again
Beguiled again
A whimpering, simpering, child again
Bewitched bothered and bewildered, am I

-from the musical, Pal Joey by Rogers and Hammerstein

Rush....

And.....
Quick to judge,
Quick to anger,
Slow to understand
Ignorance and prejudice
And fear walk hand in hand...

I embrace my desire to...
I embrace my desire to...
feel the rhythm,
to feel connected enough to step aside and weep like a widow,
to feel inspired,
to fathom the power,
to witness the beauty,
to bathe in the fountain,
to swing on the spiral,
to swing on the spiral,
to swing on the spiral of our divinity and still be a human.

awesome lyric; heard it when I was a kid and it is solely responsible for my love of music with cool lyrics today.

Changes all the time. I like songs that are relevant to my life.
Right now:

NotGoddess

You can choose a ready guide in some celestial voice.
If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice.
You can choose from phantom fears and kindness that can kill;
I will choose a path that's clear
I will choose freewill.

Chorus from Freewill by Rush

I hate people that make ya feel small,
I hate havin' my back against the wall,
You know I hate bein' talked down to,
I hate your rules I hate 'em all,
Hate bein' marked to take the fall,
Planet's not big enough for me and you,
but most of all I hate you....

Overkill- I hate

When a man lies, he murders a part of this world.
These are the pale deaths which men miscall their lives.
All of this I cannot bear to witness any longer.
Cannot the kingdom of salvation take me home?
