Favorite song lyric?

I'm not talking about whole lyrics, but just those little bits in the song that make you sit up and go, "Woah, that's some cool **** right there."





For me, right now it's this bit from "Swan Dive," by Ani DiFranco.





"Cuz I don't care if they eat me alive


I've got better things to do than survive


I've got the memory of your warm skin in my hands


And I've got a vision of blue sky and dry land"





What's yours?

Dead I am the one exterminating son


Slippin' through the trees


Stranglin' the breeze


Dead I am the sky watching angels die


While they slowly take conquering the worm"

Things Like You-Sanctus Real





Loving things like you has wrecked my life, made me cry.


Loving things like you has made me lose my mind,


And I can't figure out why I've been hanging on


To all these things I've tried to leave behind me for so long.





Table-DecembeRadio





When all you are is laid out on the table,


And you no longer hide the things inside,


When everything is stripped away,


Will your life be just a waste of time,


Or will you be fine?
Reply:Medically speaking you're adorable


And from what I hear you're quite affordable


But I like them pricey


So exaggerate and t-t-t-t-t-t-trick me

Reply:"we all wanna die like movie stars' you said as you jumped from the height of our cutting room floor, while above us, glowing, exploding, our dreams burst forth in light and death. hold me and tell me we'll burn like stars, we'll burn as we fall. watch as city lights dance for us" --Davey Havok/AFI, 'Kiss and Control'

and





'me and all my friends, we're all misunderstood. they say we stand for nothing and there's no way we ever could. now we see everything that's going wrong with the world and those who lead it, we just feel like we don't have the means to rise above and beat it' -- John Mayer, 'Waiting on the World to Change' (actually, the whole song's been "talking" to me a lot lately)

Reply:I was hearing Nine Inch Nails for the first time, and I happened to be listening to "Closer." LOL! Well, I thought that the beat was something extremely different and interesting, but it wasn't what I was really into (I was young at the time... forgive me). THEN, Trent Reznor starts singing:





"I want to f*ck you like an animal. I want to feel you from the inside."





I was immediately hooked. Now, Nine Inch Nails is my favorite band of all time (followed by Tool)!





Other lyrics that have jumped out at me have been:





-Reptile - Nine Inch Nails





"Oh, my beautiful liar...


oh, my precious whore.


My disease my infection...


I am so impure."





-Suck - Nine Inch Nails





"... The temple walls are made of flesh.


Runs up my arms 'til I'm on track.


Itches my skin right off my back.


I'll hear your words; I'll set you free.


I'm jesus christ on ecstasy."





"A thousand lips a thousand tongues,


A thousand throats a thousand lungs.


A thousand ways to make it true.


I want to do terrible things to you."





-Starfuckers, Inc. - Nine Inch Nails





"And when I suck you off not a drop will go to waste.


It's really not that bad, you know, once you get past the taste."





-Gave Up - Nine Inch Nails





"Perfect little dream... the kind that hurts the most."





"Smashed up my sanity.


Smashed up my integrity.


Smashed up what I believed in.


Smashed up what's left of me."





-Hurt - Nine Inch Nails





"I hurt myself today... to see if I still feel."





-Heresy - Nine Inch Nails





"... he dreamed a god up and called it 'Christianity.'


God is DEAD, and NO ONE CARES.


If there is a Hell, I'll see you there..."





-Wish - NIN





"I put my faith in god and my trust in you.


Now there's nothing more ****** up I could do."





-The Only Time - NIN





"I'm drunk, and right now I'm so in love with you, and I don't want to think too much about what we should or should not do. Lay my hands on heaven and the sun and the moon and the stars while the devil wants to f*ck me in the back of his car. Nothing quite like the feel of something new..."





"My moral standing is lying down."





-Stinkfist - Tool





"I don't want it.


I just need it.


To feel, to breathe, to know I'm alive.


Finger deep within the borderline.


Show me that you love me and that we belong together.


Relax, turn around and take my hand."





-Prison Sex - Tool





"I've got my hands bound


and my head down


and my eyes closed.


My throat's wide open."





"I need you to feel this.


I need this to make me whole.


Released in this sodomy.


For I am your witness that


blood and flesh can be trusted.


And only this one holy medium brings me peace of mind."











As you can see, I've got more than just one favorite. ^-^
Reply:and she whispered "how could you do this to me?" -hate me by blue october





you say you wanted more, what are you waiting for.. your killing me, killing me, all i wanted was you - the kill by 3O seconds to mars
Reply:I know you're gone


I watched you leave


I always thought


That it was me


You made it clear


With that last kiss


You couldn't live a life


With maybe's and what-if's





When every boat


Has sailed away


And every path


Is marked and paved


When every road


Has had its say


Then I'll be bringing you back


Home to stay





I have the cards you sent to me


You wrote of trains and Paris galleries


This spring you'll draw


Canals, and frescoed walls


Look how far your dreaming's gone





When every town looks just the same


When every choice gets hard to make


When every map is put away


Then I'll be bringing you back


Home to stay





And now I know why you had to go alone


Isn't there a place between





When every boat


Has sailed away


And every path


Is marked and paved





When every road


Has had its say


Then I'll be bringing you back


Home to stay





Reach out to me


Call out my name


And I would bring you back again


Today





--Josh Groban, "Home to Stay"





It's the whole song, but it's just so beautiful...
