White needles burried in the red
The engine roars and then it gives
But never dies cause we don't live we just survive
On the scraps that through away - Rise Against , Re-Education(through labor)
 
Human: My sign is vital, my hands are cold,... and I'm ooonn my knees lookin for the answer... are we human, or are we dancer... are we human,... or are we dancer... *music dies down slowly*
 
Although i'm pretty over SOAD, the lyrics to Sad Statue are just... poetic.

Conquest to the lover,
And your love to the fire,
Permanence unfolding in the absolute.

Forgivness is
The ultimate sacrifice.
Eloquence belongs,
To the conqueror.

The pictures of time and space are rearranged,
In this little piece of typical tragedy.

Justified Candy!
Brandy for the nerves,
Eloquence belongs,
To the conqueror.

You and me will all go down in history,
With a sad Statue of Liberty,
And a Generation that didn't agree.

What is in us that turns a deaf ear to the cries of human suffering?

Most of MUSE's songs have just amazing lyrics... probably my favorite bit:

I thought I was a fool for no one
But ooh, baby I'm a fool for you
You're the queen of the superficial
And how long before you tell the truth?

Ooh, you set my soul alight
Ooh, you set my soul alight

Glaciers melting in the dead of night
And the superstars sucked into the supermassive
 
We’re shooting “Atlantis” now
I’m staring at the big blue ocean
I wish you could be here somehow
I wish I really had no emotion
I’d be like you
Living from day to day
Crushing the heads and the hearts of smaller things
And going away

...

Jonathan Coulton - "Under the Pines"
 
Linkin Park - New Divide
'In every loss, in every lie
in every truth that you deny
and each regret and each goodbye
was a mistake to great to hide'

Escape the Fate - Ashley
'You're the strenght I need to fight
you're the reason I still try
I'm the moth and you're the light
use these wings so I can fly (I can fly...)'
 
I got some, all from "Return to Innocence" by Enigma

Don't be afraid to be weak
Don't be too proud to be strong

Be yourself don't hide
Just believe in destiny

Don't care what people say
Just follow your own way
 
Good ol' Barry Manilow lyrics are good, and his songs are great. But for some subliminal reason, I picked O-Town's All Or Nothing. Talk about early 2000s. Putting that aside, almost anything J-pop is done with so much artistry and given so much poetic value that I sometimes wish that I were raised in Japan.[/badchoice]
 
"And I don't want the world to see me, cause I don't think that they'll understand. When everything seems to be broken, I just want you to know who I am"

Iris by the Goo Goo Dolls.
 
The prodigy sucks =P
Escape the Fate got muchhhhhhhhh better lyrics ^^

Like:

So grab this statement
and read between the lines
I'm walking on an edge
that's how I stay alive
...
...
Ohhhhhhhhhhh the webs we weave xD
 
Haha I was going through this thread again, listening to some Goo Goo Dolls while I was at it and happened to come across the Iris post.

Agreed, it's an amazing song.
 
I used to rule the world
seas would rise when I gave the word
now in the morning I sleep alone
sweep the streets I used to own

Viva La Vida-Coldplay

Best lyrics I've ever heard.
 
oh yeah, THE CHEAT IS NOT DEAD is a good song:

STRONG BAD: The Cheat, man. Where did we go wrong? Seems like just yesterday we were setting fire to Strong Sad's underwears.
STRONG SAD: That WAS yesterday!
STRONG BAD: {overlapping} This one's for you.

{singing}
I got mad at The Cheat (Uh!)
For screwin' up the Jumble caper (Uh!)
I hope I don't see his name in the paper
In the obituaries, cause that would mean he's dead


The Cheat is not dead...
I'm so glad The Cheat is not dead!
The Cheat is not dead! (STRONG SAD: Dead!)
I'm so glad The Cheat is not dead...
The Cheat is not dead... (STRONG MAD: Dead!)
I'm so glad The Cheat is not-
{spoken} Just the claps! Just the claps! Uh! Uh! Strong Sad, I didn't know you had any rhythm.
STRONG SAD: Oh sure, I got tons of rhythm!
STRONG BAD: Uh! Uh! All right guys, keep it rollin' for me. Keep it rollin! Come on!

{singing}
I cracked wise at The Cheat
But in my defense he cracked wise at me first
I hope he doesn't end up in a hearse
At the cemetery, 'cause once again that would mean that he's dead

{choir joins in}
The Cheat is not dead
I'm so glad The Cheat is not dead
The Cheat is not dead ({spoken} Whoa, where'd this choir come from?)
I'm so glad The Cheat is not dead
({choir harmonize})The Cheat is not dead ({spoken} You guys sound great!)
I'm so glad The Cheat is not dead
The Cheat is not dead
I'm so glad The Cheat is not dead
The Cheat is not deeaaad
I'm so glad The Cheat is not dead
The Cheat is not deeeaad
I'm so glad The Cheat is not deeeeeeeaaaaaaaa...d

Cheat is not dead! (Cheat is not dead!)
Cheat is not dead! (Cheat is not dead!)
No The Cheat's not dead! (Cheat is not dead!)
The Cheat is not dead! (Cheat is not dead!)
Ohhh, he's dead! (Cheat is not dead!)
No he's not dead! (Cheat is not dead!)
I said The Cheat's not dead now! (Cheat is not dead!)
No Cheat's not dead! (Cheat is not dead!)
Let's call the store! (Cheat is not dead!)
Collect the receipts! (Cheat is not dead!)
Got the frozen food! (Cheat is not dead!)
The Cheat is not dead! (Cheat is not dead!)
Well The Cheat's not dead! (Cheat is not dead!)
Cheat is not dead! (Cheat is not dead!)
No, he's never been dead! (Cheat is not dead!)
Said The Cheat is not dead! (Cheat is not dead!)
Whoaaa, dead! (Cheat is not dead!)
Whoa, he's not dead! (Cheat is not dead!)
No, he's not dead! (Cheat is not dead!)
No, he's not dead! (Cheat is not dead!)
No, The Cheat is not dead!


Cheat is not dead!

OOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
 
Public Pervert by Interpol

If time is my vessel, then learning to love
Might be my way back to sea
The flying, the metal, the turning above
These are just ways to be seen
We all get paid
But some get faith before they die
Then the stars we will navigate
Through the holes in your eyes

Broken Wings by Sage Francis

She glides but just seems like she floats
And these folks decide to crush her wings until they're permanently broke
She rides gusts of wind just by the way she spoke
She crys but loves to sing songs of freedom and hope
On the eastside hustling discussing things that we quote
In shallow conversations as if we have deep throats
We choke on our confusion
Not sure if it's a heat stroke or if we need coats
Trading in our cheap jokes for her C notes
I see notes being passed
I ask to see what these creeps wrote
Define silly kids and flying privileges revoked
Ski slopes have been blocked off they can't chance it
Had weights tied to her ankles she most definitely cant skip
Down, she's held down by the transcripts my hands grip
Tried to tie her wings back on before they're once again clipped
Panic stricken, she'll remain stuck
On a titantic sinking, shes trying to stay up
Change her plan thinking it's OK
See this is strange but
Abraham Lincoln freed the slaves in a way that kept them chained up
I'd like to see
Her take flight into the stars
Instead of letting her fly free they keep her in jars
Instead of letting 'em fly free they keep 'em in jars
I put my hand to the glass so hard that
It might break the prison bars
It isn't hard to see why they keep her captive
Shes naturally attractive
Speaks with adlibs, shes uncommonly talented
Ain't enough adjectives to do her disposition justice
Kids are wishing for just a kiss and its a mission to touch her lips
They can't trust her with
Freedom of movement thats a chance to lose her quick
If she ups and splits
We might as well call that discussion quits
They have ways to keep her down the government's underlings
Enslave people in this town especially if their culture's rich
Exploiting talents making her do a bunch of tricks
With the rest of the wingless imports
Repeatedly told you aint a fairy, you just a -

When I was down in New York she'd send me letters
And I read her passages about how I left her to the savages
No matter how sad that is I didnt cry
Cause it was only a matter of time
Before they figured me out and tried to strip my pride
I knew the scoop
Wish you could of seen the blueprints in my eye
When I flew the coop
Utilizing overground railroads in the sky
It was live or die let me let you in on a secret of mine
Me and you are different girl
We dont even need wings to fly

Father Christmas by The Kinks

When I was small I believed in santa claus
Though I knew it was my dad
And I would hang up my stocking at christmas
Open my presents and Id be glad

But the last time I played father christmas
I stood outside a department store
A gang of kids came over and mugged me
And knocked my reindeer to the floor

They said:
Father christmas, give us some money
Dont mess around with those silly toys.
Well beat you up if you dont hand it over
We want your bread so dont make us annoyed
Give all the toys to the little rich boys

Dont give my brother a steve austin outfit
Dont give my sister a cuddly toy
We dont want a jigsaw or monopoly money
We only want the real mccoy

Father christmas, give us some money
Well beat you up if you make us annoyed
Father christmas, give us some money
Dont mess around with those silly toys

But give my daddy a job cause he needs one
Hes got lots of mouths to feed
But if youve got one, Ill have a machine gun
So I can scare all the kids down the street

Father christmas, give us some money
We got no time for your silly toys
Well beat you up if you dont hand it over
Give all the toys to the little rich boys

Have yourself a merry merry christmas
Have yourself a good time
But remember the kids who got nothin
While youre drinkin down your wine

Resistance by Anberlin

You wanna watch us break?
Be the first to take us down
But you're (??) alone
And theres no stopping us now
You called me mental
Your speeches are maligned
Take down this modern town
Four words penned with you in mind

Speak
Speak for yourself
You paper tigers
You crash where you stand
You've got a riot on your hands
Speak
Speak for yourself
You paper tigers
Too late to make demands
When you've got a riot on your hands

Silent alarms are ringing
Sounds of revolt draw near
A new united front
That you will come to fear
We will hold together
To become the change
Those are the voices
With every common man engaged

Speak
Speak for yourself
You paper tigers
You crash where you stand
You've got a riot on your hands
Speak
Speak for yourself
You paper tigers
Too late to make demands
When youve got a riot

Ignite and watch us burn
Til every embers turn
My God we'll feel inspired
When we set your walls to fire

Rise by Flobots

So much pain we
Dont know how to be but angry
Feel infected like weve got gangrene
Please dont let anybody try to change me
Me
Just me
In the middle of a sea full of faces
Full of faces
Some laugh some salivate
Whats in your alleyway
Recycling bins or bullet cases
Its not equal
Its not fair
Were different people
But were not scared
We aint never scared
To pave a new path
Make a new street
Build a new bridge
Say can you see by the dawns early light
Free slaves running
Songs words werent right
Now a new days coming
The few stay stunning while the many are handsome
Your soul is alive but they want it for ransom
The base drumming is the anthem
We step to the heartbeats of our granddaughters and grandsons
And

Rise together we

Lost hope and found need
Grounded by our surroundings
Did the walls scream universities
Or you and i verse the tees
React automatic and we burst when squeezed
And make 9-11 each emergency
Urgency amber to red like the turning leaves
Oh please let the hurting cease
Don't let apathy police the populace
We will march across
Those stereotypes that were marked for us
The answers obvious
We switch the consonants
Change the sword to words and lift continents

If you believe in redemption
I'm calling to you from another dimension

Been around the world and found,
That only stupid people are breeding,
The cretins cloning and feeding,
And I don't even own a TV.
