Favorite lyrics

I second Tom Waits, particularly his spoken word. I'd also like to mention Augie March, Australian alternative band. CBF typing them out now, but have a look. Better still, have a listen. Dark. Twitchy and yet sweet.

And, well, I happen to love Tool lyrics, so here's my favourite, 10 000 Days (Wings, Pt. 2):

We listen to the tales and romanticize,
how we follow the path of the hero.

Boast about the day when the rivers overrun,
How we'll rise to the height of our halo.

Listen to the tales as we all rationalize,
our way into the arms of the savior.
Fading all the trials and the tribulations.

None of us have actually been there,
Not like you...

The ignorant fibbers in the congregation.
Gather around spewing sympathy,
Spare me...

None of them can even hold a candle up to you.
Blinded by choices,
hypocrites won't see.

But enough about the collective Judas.
Who could deny you were the one who illuminated?
Your little piece of the divine.

This little light of mine it gives your past unto me,
I'm gonna let it shine
to guide you safely on your way.

Your way home...

Oh, what are they gonna do when the lights go down?
Without you to guide them all to Zion?
What are they gonna do when the rivers overrun?
Other than tremble incessantly.

High is the way,
but our eyes are upon the ground.
You are the light and the way.
They'll only read about.
I only pray heaven knows,
when to lift you out.

10,000 days in the fire is long enough.
You're going home...

You're the only one who can hold your head up high.
Shake your fist at the gates saying,
"I have come home now...!"
Fetch me the spirit, the son and the father.
Tell them their pillar of faith has ascended.

"It's time now!
My time now!
Give me my
Give me my wings...!"

Give me my [x5]

(Give me my wings)

You are the light, the way,
that they will only read about.

Set as I am in my ways and my arrogance.
Burden of proof tossed upon non-believers.
You were my witness, my eyes, my evidence,
Judith Marie, unconditional one.

Daylight dims leaving cold fluorescence.
Difficult to see you in this light.
Please forgive this bold suggestion.
Should you see your maker's face tonight,
Look him in the eye.
Look him in the eye and tell him,
I never lived a lie, never took a life,
But surely saved one.

Hallelujah
It's time for you to bring me home.

Rage Against The Machine - Fistful of Steel (part of the first verse)

Silence
Something about silence makes me sick
cause silence can be violent
Sorta like a slit wrist

If the vibe was suicide
Then you would push the button
But if ya bowin down
Then let me do the cuttin

Some speak the sounds
But speak in silent voices
Like radio is silent
Though it fills the air with noises

Its not so much the actual words, just how they're said. And how they flow.

Finch - Bitemarks And Bloodstains

Meier may we be this way forever, and
Tell me lover what will become of the others?
Bones, skin, nails and flesh
On a bed of lack of passion, a medievil consequence
They worry you with all the talk of how you're not their kind

Now i'm stealing her body and taking it home
There is always one more fall

Maladjusted, you must trust me darling
Subsequentially, you see, you deserve more than me
They bury you while wearing garments of funeral fire

Now i'm stealing her body and taking it home
There is always one more fall
Now i'm stealing her body and taking it home
There is always one more fall

This will hurt you, it's killing me
(this is the salt in my side)
(this is the thorn in my eye)
This will hurt you, and I will to, and I will

Bloodlust, bloodlust, for this girl
Bloodloss, bloodloss, for this boy
Bloodlust, bloodlust, for this girl
Bloodloss, bloodloss, for this boy, this boy

Another puncture wound and once again forgive my sins

This is forever

Seriously fuck off. I don't care about your opinions and its really annoying seeing them after everything I post. For once just keep them to yourself.
 
Guess em.

The sirens are screaming and the fires are howling
Way down in the valley tonight
Theres a man in the shadows with a gun in his eye
And a blade shining oh so bright
Theres evil in the air and theres thunder in the sky
And a killers on the bloodshot streets
And down in the tunnel where the deadly are rising
Oh I swear I saw a young boy
Down in the gutter
He was starting to foam in the heat
Oh baby youre the only thing in this whole world
Thats pure and good and right
And wherever you are and wherever you go
Theres always gonna be some light
But I gotta get out
I gotta break it out now
Before the final crack of dawn
So we gotta make the most of our one night together
When its over you know
Well both be so alone

Like a bat out of hell
Ill be gone when the morning comes
When the night is over
Like a bat out of hell Ill be gone gone gone
Like a bat out of hell Ill be gone when the morning comes
When the day is done
And the sun goes down
And the moonlights shining through
Then like a sinner before the gates of heaven
Ill come crawling on back to you

Im gonna hit the highway like a battering ram
On a silver black phantom bike
When the metal is hot and the engine is hungry
And were all about to see the light
Nothing ever grows in this rotten old hole
And everything is stunted and lost
And nothing really rocks
And nothing really rolls
And nothings ever worth the cost
And I know that Im damned if I never get out
And maybe Im damned if I do
But with any other beat I got left in my heart
You know Id rather be damned with you
If I gotta be damned you know I wanna be damned
Dancing through the night with you
If I gotta be damned you know I wanna be damned
Gotta be damned you know I wanna be damned
If gotta be damned you know I wanna be damned
Dancing through the night
Dancing through the night
Dancing through the night with you

Oh baby youre the only thing in this whole world
Thats pure and good and right
And wherever you are and wherever you go
Theres always gonna be some light
But I gotta get out
I gotta break it out now
Before the final crack of dawn
So we gotta make the most of our one night together
When its over you know
Well both be so alone

Like a bat out of hell
Ill be gone when the morning comes
When the night is over
Like a bat out of hell Ill be gone
Like a bat out of hell Ill be gone when the morning comes
But when the day is done
And the sun goes down
And the moonlights shining through
Then like a sinner before the gates of heaven
Ill come crawling on back to you
Then like a sinner before the gates of heaven
Ill come crawling on back to you

I can see myself
Tearing up the road
Faster than any other boy has ever gone
And my skin is rough but my soul is ripe
And no ones gonna stop me now
I gotta make my escape
But I cant stop thinking of you
And I never see the sudden curve until its way too late
I never see the sudden curve until its way too late

Then Im dying on the bottom of a pit in the blazing sun
Torn and twisted at the foot of a burning bike
And I think somebody somewhere must be tolling a bell
And the last thing I see is my heart
Still beating
Breaking out of my body
And flying away
Like a bat out of hell

Then Im dying at the bottom of a pit in the blazing sun
Torn and twisted at the foot of a burning bike
And I think somebody somewhere must be tolling a bell
And the last thing I see is my heart
Still beating
Still beating
Breaking out of my body and flying away
Like a bat out of hell
Like a bat out of hell
Like a bat out of hell
Like a bat out of hell
Like a bat out of hell
Like a bat out of hell

Boiled Frogs - Alexisonfire
I'm always wishing, I'm always wishing too late
For things to go my way
It always ends up the same
Count your blessings
I must be missing, I must be missing the point
Your signal fades away and all I'm left with is noise
Count your blessings on one hand

So wait up, I'm not sleeping alone again tonight
There's so much to dream about, there must be more to my life​


Ruin - Lamb of God​
The knowledge that seeking the favor of another
Means the murder of self.
This is the resolution
The end of all progress
The death of evolution
It bleeds all life away.
Silence speeds the path to the streams of solace that run so few and narrow.
Brooks that babble the sounds of torture the sounds of torture
You will one day rise.
To flood the banks of the chosen.
This is the art of ruin.
This is the resolution
The end of all progress
The death of evolution
It bleeds all life away.
I will show you all that I have mastered
Fear. Pain. Hatred. Power.
This is the art of ruin.
 
Pink Floyd - Another Brick In The Wall Part 1

Daddy's flown across the ocean
Leaving just a memory
Snapshot in the family album
Daddy what else did you leave for me?
Daddy, what'd'ja leave behind for me?!?
All in all it was just a brick in the wall.
All in all it was all just bricks in the wall.

"You! Yes, you! Stand still laddy!"

The Mars Volta - Asilos Magdalena

Enfermo llegué
y para componerme ando de vago
No me des tu obediencia
por que te enseño mi cuerpo de lodo
de donde la piel estuvo débil
con una hambre que no me deje cantar

En mi vida,
el oscuro me mantiene
cuando yo te vi
en la lluvia me prometiste tu sangre

Yo no me quedo en mi vida
el oscuro me mantiene
cuando yo te vi
en la lluvia me prometiste tu sangre
yo no me quedo

Y ya que caíste de este mundo
cargo una navaja
dios mío
para ti
Cuantas veces me mordiste
y cuantas veces yo me fui

Y ya no me estoy enamorado
con tus mentiras
el infierno me duermo
por que el infierno es la única verdad

En mi vida,
el oscuro me mantiene
cuando yo te vi
en la lluvia me prometiste tu sangre

Yo no me quedo en mi vida
el oscuro me mantiene
cuando yo te vi
en la lluvia me prometiste tu sangre
yo no me quedo

Estrella de la mañana
Samael te persigo a ti
y si me quedo sin alas
ademas me muero por ti

Estrella de la mañana
Samael te persigo a ti
y si me quedo sin alas
ademas me muero por ti

Estrella de la mañana
Samael te persigo a ti
y si me quedo sin alas
ademas me muero por ti

Estrella de la mañana
Samael te persigo a ti
y si me quedo sin alas
ademas me muero por ti

Estrella de la mañana
Samael te persigo a ti
y si me quedo sin alas
ademas me muero por ti
 
Hey Feathers, you put in all those "latino" words and expect us to understand them all, for that Mars Volta song. What the fuck is wrong with you people?
 
Iron And Wine - Boy With A Coin

A boy with a coin he found in the weeds
With bullets and pages of trade magazines
Close to a car that flipped on the turn
When God left the ground to circle the world

A girl with a bird she found in the snow
Then flew up her gown and that’s how she knows
If God made her eyes for crying at birth
Then left the ground to circle the earth

A boy with a coin he crammed in his jeans
Then making a wish he tossed in the sea
Walked to a town that all of us burn
When God left the ground to circle the world​
 
No, I'm not trying to look good. I don't expect everyone to understand them. I just like the lyrics.
