favourite lyrics

"I know so well what is wrong
a language that is hard to speak
For all of us lies in death a song
in times when truth is turning weak"

"There are children
on the freeway
I have my ways
playing with death"

"O my sweet nurse
seems you have so little time
that you rather put
me to sleep than sit by my side"

These are my fave verses I guess,I'd probably sum up the whole Last Fair Deal... and Tonight's Decision albums as my favourite lyrics you know,but those are some of the best for me.

No good can come of this. :)
 
On DAY :
"Your smile has decayed"
"The days are pale"
"Now it's dark and you're colder"

On CRIMINALS :
"And for one moment I thought that I was lost among the lights of houses"

On WALKING BY A WIRE :
"Too young to be ignored"

On OMERTA :
"Come sit with at the bar"
 
Brave:
if you didn't know all the moments
when I lose myself I would tell the world
I guess I should know the limits
of the world there are moments
I find myself not breathing at all

all of Sounds of Decay

RAINROOM
we saw it all pass by and you went by and
I can't control anything when you said that
life can't be what you want and I really want
everything

Quiet World:
four numbers staring back at me
displaying the mediocrity of my presence
i´m wasting my day wtching them change
the sun with it's blue sky outside
shining down on all you happy people
i´m wasting my day waiting for rain
need more methods to end each day
to be happy by living this way

For My Demons:
you would never sleep at night
if you knew what I've been through

I Am Nothing:
I remember one of my friends
telling me to go ahead

water on every side
there's a dead spot in my eye
if I listen close at night
there's something coming my way

like someone called my name
but I didn't care to look that way
I just fixed my eyes into the crowd
it would have been strange to turn around

if you would tell me that I was someone
then for a second I would think
just like I would try to consider
how it would feel to know

I have to get on with this
it's a decision for tonight
out to look for chances
it is murder of my mind

once I was someone new
I was chosen for a while
then with time I am changing
at least that is what they say

what is worth with being here
I pray so often for a change

No Good Can Come of This:
I read a letter I never sent
and saw me smiling on a picture
this is nothing I remember
whatever made me feel so

there are children
on the freeway
I have my ways
playing with death

Strained:
I'd like to try to live my life again
I'd like to see where I was going wrong

Dispossession:
in this dead hour
here with you
seconds are worthless
in this dead hour
when all is blank
minutes are worthless

Clean Today
WILL THE STREETLIGHTS REFLECT ME WELL ENOUGH
AM I TRANSPARENT WHEN I AM CLEAN
WILL THE DARKNESS AROUND ME BE SO STRONG
THAT THERE IS NO WAY I CAN BE SEEN (caps not mine:p)

thats it, I think Jonas is one of the most gifted lyricists in all of metaldom, his lyrics are "down-to-earth" yet very "obscure" and metaphorical at the same time
 
"Black lipstick stains her glass of red wine
I am your servant, may I light your cigarette?
Those lips smooth, yeah I can feel what you're saying, praying
They say the beast inside of me's gonna get ya, get ya, get..."
 
who could call my name without regretting?
who could promise to never destroy me?
tonight, my head's full of wishes...
and everything i drink...is full of her...

-

i had sulfur in my heart...

-

what is it in my eyes...?

-

you would never sleep at night...

-

come by, you have come far...

-

defy only...



AARARRRRGGHH

ALL OF THEM !!
 
Oh to many of them, too many.
Today I'd choose "I'm Nothing" and "Lost Control" of ANATHEMA and "The Sleepy Song" of VISION BLEAK and "Tourniquet" of EVANESCENCE and and and..
 
I love Katatonias lyrics and I can relate to most of them. My favourite could be "At Last":
All my flowers withered today... etc... you know the words so I don't need to write them again...
 
in this dead hour
here with you
seconds are worthless
in this dead hour
when all is blank
minutes are worthless

or:

you would never sleep at night

or:

why have you put so many things in to my eyes

or:
all of the opeth lyrics :lol:
