Love is strong, hearing as loud as gunfire away,
We're never wrong, constantly dreaming of another way.
If love is wrong, go ahead and end the world with your charades.
We're never wrong, constantly dreaming of another day.
Serj Tankian - The Charade (alt. title "Charades")
EDIT: Thinking about it, I could probably add the vast majority of the lyrics on "Elect The Dead". I haven't been this hooked on an album in a very long time.
Don't want to close my eyes
I don't want to fall asleep
Cause I'd miss you baby
And I don't want to miss a thing
Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream will never do
I'd still miss you baby
And I don't want to miss a thing
--Aerosmith, "I Don't Want to Miss a Thing"
So up they picked me by the big toe;
I was held from the rooftop, then they let it go.
Dizzily screaming let the windows down,
as I crawl to the ground.
If you'd only, if you'd only say yes.
Whether you will is anybody's guess.
God only, God knows she won't let me rest,
but I'm just so tired of this loneliness.
I've become so tired of this loneliness.
If you go to Chile
I beg you please go
where's my lover lives
It's a house
really pretty and small
which it's located in the side of the hill
It's near to a stream,
decorated by wines
and there's a willow
which cries and cries
because I love her.
If you go to Chile
I beg you traveler
please tell to her
of love I'm dying
Of course it's way more poetic in Spanish, but the idea is there =P
Everything has its price
Everything has its place
What's more romantic
then dying in the moonlight?
Now they're all watching the sea
What's lost can never be broken
Her roots were sweet
but they were so shallow
And now she's dead
Forever dead
Forever dead and lovely now - Dead and Lovely, Tom Waits
Trust your mechanic to mend your car
Bring it in to his garage
He tightens and loosens a few spare parts
One thing's fixed, another falls apart
And the rich eat you
A magazine says your face don't look quite right
Unless you wear our brand new wonder creme tonight
Never look right again
Unless you grease your skin
Again and again and again and again
Gonna rip you off
Told you're depressed
So of course you see the psychiatrist
Right when you hit your neuroses' roots
He confuses you
He fucks your head up worse
Gotcha feeling helpless
You're comin' back for more
Again and again
Gonna rip you off
Rip you off - Trust Your Mechanic, Dead Kennedys
I am the Baker
I bake the cake
Make no mistake, I like to bake
Once I discover
My innate behavior
To mix, to make, to bake!
Up in the morning
To start my work
I cannot help wanting to bake a dessert
Like a gladiator
About to meet his fate
I enter my arena, bow my head and start to bake! - The Baker, The Aquabats
I love the whole song, but especially these lines:
"See, I do believe anger is offset by sorrow
But you destroy today you might regret tomorrow
When you're young and defensive it comes off offensive
And it's hard to repay the tolerance that you borrowed"
"Welcome to the end
Of your one night stand
We're worlds apart
Death defying fools
Who think that they are cool
But you know that they're not
Got to understand
Since we began
We were already through
Grabbed life by the horns
Never to see the thorns
That were always there
Chorus
Let go
I hear the thoughts of the ancient fears again
Let go
I see the memories of a life erased
Let go
I will never feel your touch again
Let go... Let go
Welcome to my past
Almost didn't last
To get to you
Didn't you ever see
What I was meant to be
Or is it you didn't care
Almost erased
By those I disgraced
To become what I am
Never will forget
Where I began
Right next to you
Chorus
Welcome to my dreams
Where I live out things
That will never come true
Twisted fantasies
Inside those dreams
Never to be the same
Damnation toys with me
I'm on the edge of sanity
Live in a troubled past
This is all I do
Because of you
And my broken heart
Back story- I wrote it while strung out on heroin (among other things) about my best friend Randy's death (he died about two weeks prior & from the same shit that I was doing might I add). He basically saved my life by preventing me from being hit by a car & we became close... yet at the same time he partially ruined my life for the close to 4 years afterwards by introducing me to drugs (which caused major problems in my family). Still yet he was like a brother to me & I miss him to this day.
I should note that I now live a straight edge lifestyle & I highly recommend that others do as well.

Greatest Single Line
"You Can't Bring Me Down" by Suicidal Tendencies
Who the hell you calling crazy? You wouldn't know what crazy was
If Charles Manson was eating fruit loops on your front porch....
Instead of posting the lyrics to this one, I'll post the actual song, as it's all in the delivery. The lyrics by themselves are cheesy as hell (they remind me of something I'd have written in my angsty teenage goth years), but they completely work in the context of the music. Just get past the wannabe Lestat voice interjected throughout.
He always has a sidekick, some Boy Wonder at his call,
His utility belt holds everything, can't find that at the mall,
The batmobile is super fast, there is no car that is surpassed,
It's a good thing we've got Arkham because he really drives us bats!
Drives us bats!
Drives us bats!
He really drives us bats! Bats! BATS!
He drives us bats!
Whether dancing the Batusie, or using an array of tools,
He's always got the answers, he makes us look like fools,
He's got no super powers, he's just a flying rat,
It's a good thing we've got Arkham because he really drives us bats!
Drives us bats! (World's greatest detective)
Drives us bats! (Foiling every evil scheme!)
He really drives us bats! Bats! BATS!
He drives us bats!
Even without shark repellent,
He's tougher than he seems,
Other heroes often ask,
Why is he always the top cat?
He drives us bats!
Drives us bats!
Drives us bats!

Say I'm the only bee in your bonnet

From my electrical well
It's a simple message and I'm leaving out the whistles and bells
So the room must listen to me
Filibuster vigilantly

I'm not your only friend
But I'm a little glowing friend
But really I'm not actually your friend
But I am
There's a picture opposite me
Of my primitive ancestry
Which stood on rocky shores
And kept the beaches shipwreck-free
Though I respect that a lot
I'd be fired if that were my job

And countless screaming Argonauts

I always feel nervous when I talk about what music I like, because I like just about everything I hear. But now that I'm thinking of The Wall:
But it was only fantasy
The wall was too high, as you can see
No matter how he tried he could not break free
And the worms ate into his brain
(Pink Floyd - Hey You)
I've had that kind of experience.
Does anyone remember Vera Lynn?
Remember how she said that we would meet again
Some sunny day
Vera
Vera
What has become of you?
Does anybody else in here feel the way I do?
(Pink Floyd - Vera)
That's the whole song, and it's my favourite on the album
I'll stop before I type out the lyrics to the whole album. I heard it at a time when I was having a lot of problems with depression and anxiety.
Before I met you
I used to dream you up and make you up in my mind
(Cobra Starship - The World Has It Shine But I would Drop It On A Dime)
I don't know about the repetition, but I like the sentiment.
"Hey, man, I thought that you were dead
I thought you crashed your car"
"No, man, I've been right here this whole time playing bass guitar
For the Mesopotamians"
Heya Tom, it's Bob from the office down the hall
It's good to see you buddy, how've you been?
Things have been OK for me except that I'm a zombie now
I really wish you'd let us in
I think I speak for all of us when I say I understand
Why you folks might hesitate to submit to our demand
But here's an FYI: you're all gonna die screaming
All we want to do is eat your brains
We're not unreasonable, I mean, no one's gonna eat your eyes
All we want to do is eat your brains
We're at an impasse here, maybe we should compromise:
If you open up the doors
We'll all come inside and eat your brains
I don't want to nitpick, Tom, but is this really your plan?
Spend your whole life locked inside a mall?
Maybe that's OK for now but someday you'll be out of food and guns
And you'll have to make the call
I'm not surprised to see you haven't thought it through enough
You never had the head for all that bigger picture stuff
But Tom, that's what I do, and I plan on eating you slowly
All we want to do is eat your brains
We're not unreasonable, I mean, no one's gonna eat your eyes
All we want to do is eat your brains
We're at an impasse here, maybe we should compromise:
If you open up the doors
We'll all come inside and eat your brains
I'd like to help you Tom, in any way I can
I sure appreciate the way you're working with me
I'm not a monster Tom, well, technically I am
I guess I am
I've got another meeting Tom, maybe we could wrap it up
I know we'll get to common ground somehow
Meanwhile I'll report back to my colleagues who were chewing on the doors
I guess we'll table this for now
I'm glad to see you take constructive criticism well
Thank you for your time I know we're all busy as hell
And we'll put this thing to bed
When I bash your head open
All we want to do is eat your brains
We're not unreasonable, I mean, no one's gonna eat your eyes
All we want to do is eat your brains
We're at an impasse here, maybe we should compromise:

The Mesopotamians - They Might Be Giants
I was listening to that for the first time last night! Spooky!
Today is a very special day (Why??)
Because In the morning, I took out the small wheels of my bike! (Ohhhhhh...)
The best thing that happened in my life
was take out the small wheels of my bike
Now I can go full speed
and the girls squeals when they see me pass
I'M COOL (Yes you are cool)
INMORTAL!
There's small wheels no more!
I'm Freddy Turbina on the wheel and beware kids I'm hot!
No more shame when I pedal
No obstacle will stop me
I have a new concept of happiness
I found my Spiritual Balance!
I'M COOL (Yes you are cool)
INMORTAL!
There's small wheels no more! (x2)
(Never, never again) Knees grazed
(Never, Never again) Shame on the street
(Never, never again) Laughing of kids
(Never, never again) Make fun of me!
I'M COOL (Yes you are cool)
INMORTAL!
There's small wheels no more!
INMORTAL! (Yes you are inmortal)
I'M COOL
There's small wheels no more!
(Never, never again) Knees grazed
(Never, Never again) Shame on the street
(Never, never again) Laughing of kids
(Never, never again) Make fun of me!
(Forever, ever) My hair on the air
(Over two wheels) I dominate the street
(I don't need) Cycle paths Mayor!
(I don't need) Small wheels no more!
I totally forgot how hard I laugh the first time I hear this song. It's hilarious. And worse, totally true: Because I took out my training wheels too one day!
Subterranean Homesick Alien by Radiohead (about aliens looking at humans and thinking we're uptight) -
Up above
Aliens hover
Making home movies
For the folks back home
Of all these weird creatures
Who lock up their spirits
Drill holes in themselves
And live for their secrets
They're all uptight
Pins and Needles by Billy Talent (about a guy who ruined a relationship through his jealousy) -
I never walked so far on a lonely street,
With no one there for me
It took so long to see her in misery
And now it’s clear to me
That it’s worth the pain, always take the blame
For all your own insecurities
How did I ever let you go?
Pop's&Bowie's China girl
:
I could escape this feeling, with my China Girl
I feel a wreck without my, little China Girl
I hear her heart beating, loud as thunder
Saw the stars crashing
I'm a mess without my little China Girl
Wake up in the morning. Where's my, little China Girl?
I hear our heart's beating, loud as thunder
I saw the stars crashing down
I'm feelin' tragic like I'm Marlon Brando
When I look at my China Girl
I could pretend that nothing really meant too much
When I look at my China Girl
I stumble into town just like a sacred cow
Visions of swastikas in my head
Plans for everyone
It's in the white of my eyes
My little China Girl
You shouldn't mess with me
I'll ruin everything you are
I'll give you television
I'll give you eyes of blue
I'll give you a man who wants to rule the world
And when I get excited
My little China Girl says
Oh baby just you shut your mouth
She says... shh
She says... shh
She says
She says

Mandelbrot Set you're a Rorschach Test on fire
You're a day-glo pterodactyl
You're a heart-shaped box of springs and wire
You're one badass fractal
And you're just in time to save the day
Sweeping all our fears away
You can change the world in a tiny way
"All that you touch
And all that you see
All that you taste
All you feel
And all that you love
And all that you hate
All you distrust
All you save
And all that you give
And all that you deal
And all that you buy
Beg, borrow or steal
And all you create
And all you destroy
And all that you do
And all that you say
And all that you eat
And everyone you meet
And all that you slight
And everyone you fight
And all that is now
And all that is gone
And all that's to come
And everything under the sun is in tune
But the sun is eclipsed by the moon" ~ 'Eclipse', Pink Floyd
"Then as it was, then again it will be
An' though the course may change sometimes
Rivers always reach the sea" ~ 'Ten Years Gone', Led Zeppelin

(Never, never again) Knees grazed
(Never, Never again) Shame on the street
(Never, never again) Laughing of kids
(Never, never again) Make fun of me!
(Forever, ever) My hair on the air
(Over two wheels) I dominate the street
(I don't need) Cycle paths Mayor!
(I don't need) Small wheels no more!
(My Spiritual Balance - 31 Minutos (Sorta translated from Spanish =P)
I totally forgot how hard I laugh the first time I hear this song. It's hilarious. And worse, totally true: Because I took out my training wheels too one day!
Up above
Aliens hover
Making home movies
For the folks back home
Of all these weird creatures
Who lock up their spirits
Drill holes in themselves
And live for their secrets
They're all uptight
Pins and Needles by Billy Talent (about a guy who ruined a relationship through his jealousy) -
I never walked so far on a lonely street,
With no one there for me
It took so long to see her in misery
And now it’s clear to me
That it’s worth the pain, always take the blame
For all your own insecurities
How did I ever let you go?
"...I never trusted anger
To bring a good idea..."
So very true and relevant.

I could escape this feeling, with my China Girl
I feel a wreck without my, little China Girl
I hear her heart beating, loud as thunder
Saw the stars crashing
I'm a mess without my little China Girl
Wake up in the morning. Where's my, little China Girl?
I hear our heart's beating, loud as thunder
I saw the stars crashing down
I'm feelin' tragic like I'm Marlon Brando
When I look at my China Girl
I could pretend that nothing really meant too much
When I look at my China Girl
I stumble into town just like a sacred cow
Visions of swastikas in my head
Plans for everyone
It's in the white of my eyes
My little China Girl
You shouldn't mess with me
I'll ruin everything you are
I'll give you television
I'll give you eyes of blue
I'll give you a man who wants to rule the world
And when I get excited
My little China Girl says
Oh baby just you shut your mouth
She says... shh
She says... shh
She says
She says

Good to see my influence spreading to other members.
Mandelbrot Set you're a Rorschach Test on fire
You're a day-glo pterodactyl
You're a heart-shaped box of springs and wire
You're one badass fractal
And you're just in time to save the day
Sweeping all our fears away
You can change the world in a tiny way
And all that you see
All that you taste
All you feel
And all that you love
And all that you hate
All you distrust
All you save
And all that you give
And all that you deal
And all that you buy
Beg, borrow or steal
And all you create
And all you destroy
And all that you do
And all that you say
And all that you eat
And everyone you meet
And all that you slight
And everyone you fight
And all that is now
And all that is gone
And all that's to come
And everything under the sun is in tune
But the sun is eclipsed by the moon" ~ 'Eclipse', Pink Floyd
"Then as it was, then again it will be
An' though the course may change sometimes
Rivers always reach the sea" ~ 'Ten Years Gone', Led Zeppelin
