What do you think are some of the most powerful song lyrics ever?
I'll start with these...........
"And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon god they made
And the sign flashed out its warning
In the words that it was forming
And the sign said "The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls
And whispered in the sound of silence"
The Sounds of Silence
Simon and Garfunkel

Idk about EVER butttt
"Flicker, yes flicker
There it is
A little less faint
A little more of your flame
Feel it warm your skin
Part of you trapped within
Shed a little light on this, help me see
Shed a little light on this, underneath the scarring from his defiling
Underneath the pain
Heroines, they are not born, they are made
A phoenix forms, her ashes rise
Expose their hell, break Satan's spell
Fire purifies, it's redemption time"1 -
I'm pretty addicted to 'freefall' right now.
It has some pretty powerful lyrics that I can relate to - it's got me through some pretty tough workouts!

Very powerful to me personally lately:
Hold me near when I am restless
Hold me near when I am bitter
Hold me near when I'm rebellious
Hold me near until the end
Hold me near when my heart is broken
Hold me near when I'm ignorant
Hold me near when I am jealous
Hold me near until the end
But as for me my feet almost gave out
I nearly sold my heart
It's good to be held by my Father
It's good to be where You are

It's my life it's my fate
It doesn't matter what you say
Cuz it never was your place
It's never gonna change it is the same and I'ma stay this way!
I live my life the way I choose
So walk away before I lose
My mind, it's time, for you to say goodbye
Over and over you try to force my hand and make me change
As I get older I understand it more and hate these games
You put me through
And now I'll never lose
And now the strides I take will guide me straight
Away from fake *kitten* punks like you

Delight and Angers by In Flames:
Please heal me, I can't sleep
Thought I was unbreakable, but this is killing me
Call me, everything, make me feel unbreakable,
Lie and set me free
I feel the fear takes hold
Afraid this hell I create is my own
Calm my franticness, I can't take it anymore,
This used to be my own world,
But now I've lost control

There is no pain, you are receding
A distant ship smoke on the horizon
You are only coming through in waves
Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying
When I was a child I had a fever
My hands felt just like two balloons
Now I've got that feeling once again
I can't explain, you would not understand
This is not how I am
I have become comfortably numb
@Villae81 I agree; this is one of my favorites as well. Love Pink Floyd.0 -
Something to think about
'it's only spinning molecules, racing back and forth
so why does it feel so bad?'

Have you heard staind's cover on it? It's pretty good
I definitely will check out Staind's cover of this song. Sometimes the remakes are better than the original. I like Disturbed's version of the Sounds of Silence better than Simon & Garfunkel's original; more powerful vocals.2 -
"Young hearts, be free tonight;
Time is on your side.
Don't let them put you down,
Don't let them push you around.
Don't ever let them change your point of view."
-Rod Stewart, 'Young Turks'
AND
"Abide with me, fast falls the eventide.
The darkness deepens; Lord, with me abide.
When other helpers fail, and comforts flee...
Help of the helpless, oh, abide with me."
-Abide With Me4 -
So lay me down in a field and put me under the trees in the tall grass where they won't find me.
Enjoying silence and peace until the sirens they come back screaming taking me away.
I lost a piece of myself and forgot to slow down and just breathe and it's scaring me.
I've given all I can give so don't let me go.
