Awesome Lyric LinesMusic 

Red wine and sleeping pills
Help me get back to your arms
Cheap sex and sad films
Help me get back where I belong

I think youre crazy, maybe
I think youre crazy, maybe

Stop sending letters
Letters always get burned
Its not like the movies
They fed us on little white lies

I think youre crazy, maybe
I think youre crazy, maybe

I will see you in the next life

A bit of Radiohead always cheers me up. 👍
 
Metallica - Enter Sandman - "Hush little baby, and don't say a word... And never mind that noise you heard. It's just the beast under your bed. In your closet, in your head!"

System of a Down - Chop Suey! - "Trust in my... self-righteous suicide! I cry when angels deserve to die! In my... self-righteous suicide... I cry! When angels deserve to die..."
 
Kasabian - Cutt Off

'John was a scientist, he was hooked on LSD.
Interested in mind control and how the monkey held the key.
Said that all of his experiments are what he's planning for the air,
It's for the unsuspecting citizens who hallucinate in fear...'


Dandy Warhols- Bohemian Like You

'You've got a great car,
Yeah, what's wrong with it today?
I used to have one too,
Maybe I'll come and have a look.
I really love your hairdo,Yeah,
I'm glad you like mine too,
See what lookin' pretty cool will get ya'
 
"Hear the sound of music
Drifting in the aisles
Elevator prozac
Stretching on for miles

The music of the future
Will not entertain
It's only meant to repress
And neutralise your brain

Soul gets squeezed out
Edges get blunt
Demographic
Gives what you want

Now the sound of music
Comes in silver pills
Engineered to suit you
Building cheaper thrills

The music of rebellion
Makes you wanna rage
But it's made by millionaires
Who are nearly twice your age

One of the wonders of the world is going down
It's going down I know
It's one of the blunders of the world that no-one cares
No-one cares enough"

Porcupine Tree - The Sound of Muzak
 
Wintersleep - Orca

I'll be a killer whale,
when I grow up, I'll be a vulture
I’ll be an animal, A carnivore,
I’ll be a monster
Clenching my jagged jaws
Over the captured
I’ll be a killer whale when I grow up

I’ll be a tidal wave when I grow up
Crashing on harbors
I’ll be a temperamental element
A raging water
I’ll be a perfect storm swallowing over
I’ll be a killer whale
When I grow up, I’ll be a monster

I’ll be a hurricane when I grow up
An ugly thunder
I’ll be a forest fire about to flood
Over an empire
I’ll be an avalanche chewing it's raptured
I'll be a killer whale
When I grow up I’ll be a MONSTER

I’ll be a killer whale

Although it's best listening to the actual song. Link
 
Metallica--Enter Sandman

Now I lay me down to sleep.
Pray the Lord my soul to keep.
If I should die before I wake,
Pray the Lord my soul to take.

Hush, little baby, don't say a word,
And never mind that noise you heard.
It's just the beast under your bed,
In the closet, in your head.

EDIT: Sorry Codename L, I didn't mean to copy you, I didn't see your post.
 
This always makes me laugh:

I carry sixteen knives with me. And two guns. And one gun that shoot knives. And a compass.
– Logan Whitehurst, from “Ambassador Robert W. Fitts”
 
Worth Dying For by Rise Against

Don't ask me why
'Cuz I don't know
These things I'll never face
Scratch out the warning race
The wreckage of a job well done
I saw a place I'd never seen before, yeah
And that morning I refused to close my eyes anymore

Taken from the bridge, I think it's about seeing a place that's 100% natural for the first time & realizing that the world is being destroyed, everything man made, even in the countryside, they want to make a change but aren't sure how, but they won't just turn their back.

This Is Absolution by Killswitch Engage

"We will not die this way, in unification
They cannot break these chains of faith
Let them do their worst (let them do their worst)

We will not die this way (this is absolution)
Death claims us no more (no more)
Do not grieve, end the suffering
We will live, live eternal

Will you take the stand among the dead?
Bury your fear, and hold fast to life

Anchor yourself to the foundation of everything you love
Believe you have just begun to live

Don't let the world deceive you
Don't let their words betray you
Don't let their lies deceive you
Let them do their worst"

I'm fairly sure this one is mainly about pushing the fear of death to one side & living life to the full. I also think it's about not letting media & other influences control your life.
 
Judith - A Perfect Circle

You're such an inspiration for the ways
That I'll never ever choose to be
Oh so many ways for me to show you
How the savior has abandoned you
**** your God
Your Lord and your Christ
He did this
Took all you had and
Left you this way
Still you pray, you never stray
Never taste of the fruit
You never thought to question why

It's not like you killed someone
It's not like you drove a hateful spear into his side
Praise the one who left you
Broken down and paralyzed
He did it all for you
He did it all for you

Oh so many many ways for me to show you
How your dogma has abandoned you
Pray to your Christ, to your god
Never taste of the fruit
Never stray, never break
Never---choke on a lie
Even though he's the one who did this to you
You never thought to question why

Not like you killed someone
It's Not like you drove a spiteful spear into his side
Talk to Jesus Christ
As if he knows the reasons why
He did it all for you
Did it all for you
He did it all for you..

Not meant to offend. I just think it's a powerful song.

and a few lines from Wish you were here - Incubus

I dig my toes into the sand.
The ocean looks like a thousand diamonds strewn across a blue blanket.
I lean against the wind, pretend that i am weightless and in this moment i am happy.

I lay my head onto the sand.
The sky resembles a backlit canopy with holes punched in it.
I'm counting ufo's.
I signal them with my lighter
and in this moment i am happy, happy.

When I hear these lines, they just create wonderful mental imagery for me. I dunno. Simple and effective.
 
Pink Floyd for me, have some of the most thought provoking lines in their songs:

...And I am not frightened of dying, any time will do, I
don't mind. Why should I be frightened of dying?
There's no reason for it, you've gotta go sometime.
-The Great Gig in the Sky

...The lunatic is in the hall.
The lunatics are in my hall.
The paper holds their folded faces to the floor
And every day the paper boy brings more.
-Brain Damage

...Remember when you were young,
You shone like the sun.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
Now there's a look in your eyes,
Like black holes in the sky.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
You were caught on the crossfire
Of childhood and stardom,
Blown on the steel breeze.
Come on you target for faraway laughter,
Come on you stranger, you legend, you martyr, and shine!
-Shine On You Crazy Diamond

...How I wish, how I wish you were here.
We're just two lost souls
Swimming in a fish bowl,
Year after year,
Running over the same old ground.
What have we found?
The same old fears.
Wish you were here.
-Wish You Were Here

...If you should go skating
On the thin ice of modern life
Dragging behind you the silent reproach
Of a million tear-stained eyes
Don't be surprised when a crack in the ice
Appears under your feet.
You slip out of your depth and out of your mind
With your fear flowing out behind you
As you claw the thin ice.
-The Thin Ice

Hello?
Is there anybody in there?
Just nod if you can hear me.
Is there anyone at home?
Come on, now,
I hear you're feeling down.
Well I can ease your pain
Get you on your feet again.
Relax.
I'll need some information first.
Just the basic facts.
Can you show me where it hurts?
-Comfortably Numb
 
You can't beat the Italians for awesome lyrics.

Mad Max - Cow Boy from Super Eurobeat #126

"Take your V-twin (make me feel better!)
Ayo, modern cowboy, grab your v-twin and ride down the road with me.
Take. on. road.
Cowboy! (Yeah!)
Take. on. road.
Grab your v-twin and ride down the road with me.

"Ride tonight. My v-twin is fine and shine.
Road is clear now thinkin': make me feel better, baby you're in danger.
My bike is like a lady-- she fills my crazy desire.
Vibrations, sensations, whose power give me motion!

"Riding through the valley, cowboy,
oh baby, riding on your horse for free.
I'm riding in the night to the lonely sky, never die.

(Woahaaooooohoooaahhooohh!)

Riding through the valley, cowboy,
oh baby, running to become alive.
I'm riding in the night, it's a crazy fight, never die!

(Woahaaooooohoooaahhooohhwoooooh!)

"Take your time.
Riding on a bike your might.
To the sky now thinking: make me feel better, baby you're in a danger.
My bike is like a lady-- she fills my crazy desire.
Vibrations, sensations, whose power give me motion!

"Riding through the valley, cowboy,
oh baby, riding on your horse for free.
I'm riding in the night to the lonely sky, never die.

(Woahaaooooohoooaahhooohh!)

Riding through the valley, cowboy,

Yeah. Take on road.

Take your v-twin... yeahhhh."


It has awesome, face-melting synth and guitar tracks though.
 
Bumpity bumpity bump.

Them Crooked Vultures -Bandoliers

I'm fooling myself,
Fooling myself into believing you
All these fictionary tales
You're telling yourself
Selfish, like a child
That has never heard of "no"
I've watched him everchanging you,
But never find us.

Bandoliers, to fight you, dear
Nobody caused the rift;
I can't become what I'm not.
You've always had my heart,
So ifit must be broken,
Prepare and take aim,
Then fire.

Fire away if you must,
But I only came just to let you know:
This is good-bye.

Elbow - Grounds for Divorce

I've been working on a cocktail called Grounds for Divorce
Polishing a compass that I hold in my sleep
Doubt comes in on sticks but then he kicks like a horse
There's a Chinese cigarette case
And the rest you can keep

Serj Tankian - Empty Walls

I loved you yesterday.
Before you killed my family.
 
T&C by Thrice

In my head everything was perfect
and every note resounds in harmony
all I seem to offer up are discords
and every note I sing sounds out of key
and every time I play with passion
I start breaking strings
and my voice cracks
when I sing from my heart
guess that's the price
I've got to pay to know that I'm alive
this melody is tearing me apart


So now what do I have to show
and what price do I have to pay
But like a saiyan I won't grow
unless I'm battered in the fray
'Cause we're all in the same machine
each one with his own broken dreams
passion gives way to failure
so let's all try and understand
you take my hand and I'll take yours
you take my hand and I'll take yours
take my hand and I'll take yours
let our passion bleed.
 
Not a full song's lyrics but simply a line from an Avenged Sevenfold song.
"Seize the day, or Die regretting the time you lost" from A7X's 'Seize the Day'.
Great to listen to early in the day to urge you to do just that - Seize the Day

Reptile by Nine Inch Nails, butchered by Translation Party:

Spreads are owned by the insects are protected
This is part of the show, my honey, the leaves of the words
The blood of reptile just underneath her skin
People have fallen seeds from the year 1000

oh, my beautiful liar
oh, my precious whore
I'm tired of my infection
Impure I am, Ohio

She is a manifest of the Devil
I caress from contact with contaminated blood angels
Air pollution is needed to alleviate this loneliness
Now I, I, or do not reach the depth of the infinite

oh, my beautiful liar
oh, my precious whore
I'm tired of my infection
Impure I am, Ohio
 
Streetlight Manifesto - Keasbey Nights

It was the summer of 95 (so what!)
In the backyard, shaving the old plies
Feeling so strong (strong!), something went wrong (wrong!)
Straight into my finger, what a stinger, it was so long
I still remember that day, like the day that I said that I swear
"I'll never hurt myself again", but it seems that I'm deemed to be wrong
To be wrong, to be wrong
Gotta keep holding on...they always played a slow song.

When they come for me, I'll be sitting at my desk
With a gun in my hand, wearing a bulletproof vest singing
"My, my, my, how the time does fly, when you know you're going to die
By the end of the night." And said hey

I still remember when we were young and fragile then.
No one gave a **** about us because times were tougher then.
Feeling so good (good!) cruisin’ the hood (hood!)
straight into the real world where rich kids never understood.
But I don't care.
I can fade away to anywhere don't stop
because you might get dropped
and if you do who's going to pick you up
well I won’t, well I won't...
they always played a slow song.

When they come for me, I'll be sitting at my desk
With a gun in my hand, wearing a bulletproof vest singing
"My, my, my, how the time does fly, when you know you're going to die
By the end of the night." And said hey

When they come for me, I'll be sitting at my desk
With a gun in my hand, wearing a bulletproof vest singing
"My, my, my, how the time does fly, when you know you're going to die
By the end of the night." [x3] and said hey. HEY, HEY, HEY​
 
Revival, this is from Plan B's earlier works featuring Jose Gonzalez, the song describes 3 stages in his life, starting when his son is born, skipping to his son being 14 and his life has gone badly, then on his death bed, which is where I put this verse from:

Hey son, don’t cry, know it’s hard but you have to try
Hold it together and accept that I
Lived my life now I’m going to die.
‘Course I wish I could turn back time
Before my lungs became cancerous
If I knew then what I know now I would have put up with the anxiousness
That you feel when you need a snout,
But shoulda, woulda, coulda can’t help me now,
So let’s not waste the time I have left,
‘Specially when I got a lot to get off my chest.
I need to tell you this now - When you was born I made a vow:
Crossed my heart and hoped to die, looked to the sky and swore that I
Would never let you down,
So I’m sorry that I did

I’m still gonna die before I get to see
My grandkids grow up to be
Old enough to have a drink with me.
But hey,
That’s life,
What’s that?
That’s nice.
Can’t you see
That light?
Coming from the ceiling shining bright.
Son I think I’m about to die
Feel like I’m goin up, up to the sky
I thought I’d be afraid but I feel alright,
My lungs feel good they don’t feel tight
Son I love you, please don’t cry,
Everything’s gonna be just fine
Going to heaven don’t mean I’ve died,
I’m’a live forever down deep inside
Your heart until it stops, and they send you up here
But until that time, you’re gonna be fine, I'll watch over you from here.


Very through provoking and well delivered lyrics in my opinion. Not usually my cup of tea either but the song is very deep and quite saddening.
 
Bullet for my valentine-Alone

I hope you're unhappy
and hurting inside,
I want you to choke
when you swallow your pride,
Lay in your coffin
and sleep with your sins,
Give me the nails
and I'll hammer them in
Right now
 
The Aquabats - The Wild Sea

We ride The Wild Sea
And if you want adventure,
It's the place to be
The sea wolves and the giant squids
Are coming up from The Wild Sea
And here's where I'll stay
For ten years and a day
We're on a quest to find hidden treasure
And mystery on The Wild Sea

Now the Sun she's shining for everyone
But we'll set sail and we'll be gone
We're sailing on
We're sailing on

Sailing on and on and on and on
Into the ocean, Into the sun
My boat, A Viking, My dad and me
On The Wild Sea
La la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la la la (x2)

Now we're taking on water
In the Dead Dog's Galley
A man overboard everyday
Captured by pirates
In the isle of donuts
Rescued by some maidens
Who then ran away
And here's where we'll be
We never know what we'll see
We can battle ghosts
On the bottom of the ocean
Or ride the waves
Of The Wild Sea

Now the Sun she's shining for everyone


But we'll set sail and we'll be gone
We're sailing on
We're sailing on

Sailing on and on and on and on
Into the ocean, Into the sun
My boat, A Viking, My dad and me
On The Wild Sea

Captain's Log: 1978
We've been on the sea now for over three years
And the unbelievable things we've found and seen,
No man can write.
Things like the discovery of the Purple Pearl of Pinoche,
The mysterious island of Bigfoot Women,
The SeaGhost in the Isle of Dread,
Pirates on the sea - pirates that no man can name -
The underwater bison family . . . and much more . . .

Sailing on and on and on and on
Into the ocean, Into the sun
My boat, A Viking, My dad and me
On The Wild Sea

(La la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la la la(x2))

Do you hear that son?
That's the voice of the Sirens calling from the sea.
Quick! Put some cloth in your ears!
Don't steer towards the island!

The Wild Sea is calling me
The Wild Sea is calling me
The Wild Sea is calling me
The Wild Sea is calling me​
 
Fantastic, he appears to be pointing you in a good direction so far :) If you fancy getting into some more old-skool ska from the 70s/80s, I've got some stuff I could show ya if you haven't already been shown it :)
 
There's an A Wilhelm Scream song called "The Rip" that includes the line "It's us against millions, and we can't take them all. But we can take them on." It's going to be the first lyrics I get tattooed on me.

Thanks! Yeah, AWS is definately worth checking out, and they put on a very fun live show. Just start out with "Ruiner" and your mind will be blown. The Rip however is on "Mute Print" which is a classic. 👍
