Favorite Lines from Favorite Songs

[WALMART]

I'd prefer you to be as specific as possible (ie not posting the entire song) but do as you wish.



"Was fashion the reason why they were there?"

 

[ilikeitlikethat]

Ya know I'd like to shave your head
And all my friends could paint it red

 

[Totenkindly]

I've been searching for the daughter of the devil himself
I've been searching for an angel in white
I've been waiting for a woman who's a little of both
And I can feel her but she's nowhere in sight
"One of These Nights" -- the Eagles

I like the line in conjunction with the melody/rhythm of the line -- the words just roll perfectly off the tongue and nothing is forced, it's all very fluid.

 

[Red Herring]

Have you come here for forgiveness?
Have you come to raise the dead?
Have you come here to play Jesus
To the lepers in your head?

U2, One

 

[WALMART]

There must be something else


There must be something good





Far away, far away from here

 

[ilikeitlikethat]

Well they tried to
Complicate you
But you left it all behind
All worldly possessions
Are left for recollection
And finally it's all gone

 

[Ism]

"And from a throne of their bones I'll rule"

"If you die tell them that you played my game
I hope your bullet holes become mouths to say my name"

-Put You on Game, Lupe Fiasco

*gush*

 

[antireconciler]

"This is my home, I'm coming home" - Shiny Toy Guns, Major Tom

 

[Nicodemus]

Set us free of this feeling
So we'll be once again,
So we won't feel the gravity of time.
And the face in the faces
Of the loves we move through
Reappears in original design.

Scott Walker: Get Behind Me.

 

[JocktheMotie]

Spiraling up through the crack in the sky
leaving this material world behind
I see your face in constellations

Mastodon-The Czar:Usurper/Escape/Martyr/Spiral

 

[Nijntje]

I want something good to die for,
to make it beautiful to live.

Go with the flow. Queens of the Stone Age.

 

[WALMART]

The parasites are excited when you're dead,

Eyes bulging, ants are in your head

And your thoughts? Yeah,

They rot!

 

[mmhmm]

And I'm, la la la
I'm, I'm so taken

 

[Nijntje]

I'm still confusing love with need

 

[ilikeitlikethat]

Man in a venue demma 2 rah rah,
Wen dey wanna get it at a pu-na-na.
An I’m like cha, Coz dem blah blah,
Dat's it, I rest, me not a rah rah, Rah rah it,
Bumba bumba clart it.
Gedda wid da rhythm, now get me started.

 

[JocktheMotie]

Pledge yourself to me
never leave me be

[JocktheMotie]

Meet me in outer space
We could spend the night, watch the earth come up
I’ve grown tired of that place, won’t you come with me?

[Aquarelle]

No more promise, no more sorrow
No longer will I follow
Can anybody hear me?
I just want to be me
And when I can, I will

-Smashing Pumpkins, "Mayonaise"


Bleed in your own light
Dream of your own life
I miss me
I miss everything I'll never be

-Smashing Pumpkins, "Rocket"


Not so relevant to my feelings about life and myself nowadays, but these lines really spoke to me when I was in jr high/high school and they'll always be near to my heart.

 

[Nijntje]

I just made you up,
to hurt my self
yeah, i just made you up
to hurt myself
and it worked.
Yes it did!


NIN - Only

 

[figsfiggyfigs]

Not my favourite song, but first t come to mind atm.

And I feel like I'm breaking up, and I wanted to stay
Headlights on the hillside, don't take me this way
I don't want you to hold me, I don't want you to pray
This is bigger than us
