This is a thread for parts or whole songs whose lyrics just amaze you.

For Example:

System Of A Down- A.D.D.

we fought your wars with all our hearts

you sent us back in body parts

you took our wills with the truth you stole

we offer prayers for your long lost soul

your remainder is an unjustifiable egotistical power struggle

at the expense of the american dream

of the american dream

of the american..

 

we don't give a damn about your world

with all your global profits and all you're to oppose

we don't give a damn about your world

right now, right now

we don't give a fuck about your world

with all your global profits and all you're to oppose

we don't give a fuck about your world

right now, right now

right now, right now

 

there is no flag that is large enough

to hide the shame of a man in cuffs

you switched your signs then you closed the blinds

you changed the channels and you changed our minds

 

you bring about the stink

you bring about the confused

bring about the solution

bring about the future

bring about the conclusion

bring about revolution

bring about revolution

 

we don't give a damn about your world

with all your global profits and all you're to oppose

we don't give a damn about your world

right now, right now

we don't give a fuck about your world

with all your global profits and all you're to oppose

we don't give a fuck about your world

right now, right now

right now, right now

right now, right now

right now, right now

 

we flattened ourself

shame on the men in cuffs

close the blinds

 

your remainder is an unjustifiable egotistical power struggle

at the expense of the american dream

of the american dream

of the american..

 

we don't give a damn about your world

with all your global profits and all you're to oppose

we don't give a damn about your world

right now, right now

we don't give a fuck about your world

with all your global profits and all you're to oppose

we don't give a fuck about your world

right now, right now

right now, right now

right now, right now

right now, right n-n-n-now!

 

now you try.

So you can tell them I'm coming, and hell's coming with me. (MGB - Suburbia)

 

She is talking through a yawn, and the radio is on; I listen through the thin walls, someone whistling along (Kent - Whistle Song)

 

I train myself in martial arts, as advertised, I reinforce my softened parts, as advertised (Massive Attack - Group Four)

 

I write 1998; It's getting hard to go to sleep at night and hard to get up in the morning. I tell myself, I'm going too hard, too rash, too long, too long (Madrugada - Norwegian Hammerwork Corp.)

 

And isn't it enough? Like Major Reno on the bluff, wondering aloud if help is on the way (Aimee Mann - Today's The Day)

All of "Black" by Pearl Jam is amazing, but the best part and the best and most emotional lyrics ever written are the bold section.

 

Sheets of empty canvas, untouched sheets of clay

Were laid spread out before me as her body once did

All five horizons revolved around her soul

As the earth to the sun

Now the air I tasted and breathed has taken a turn

Ooh, and all I taught her was everything

Ooh, I know she gave me all that she wore

And now my bitter hands chafe beneath the clouds

Of what was everything?

Oh, the pictures have all been washed in black, tattooed everything...

I take a walk outside

I'm surrounded by some kids at play

I can feel their laughter, so why do I sear

Oh, and twisted thoughts that spin round my head

I'm spinning, oh, I'm spinning

How quick the sun can, drop away

And now my bitter hands cradle broken glass

Of what was everything?

All the pictures have all been washed in black, tattooed everything...

All the love gone bad turned my world to black

Tattooed all I see, all that I am, all I'll ever be...yeah...

Uh huh...uh huh...ooh...

I know someday you'll have a beautiful life, I know you'll be a star

In somebody else's sky, but why

Why, why can't it be, why can't it be mine?

There are two many for me to remember but since latly i am on a Peal Jam kick, heres two of them:

Jeremy:

At home, drawing pictures of mountain tops

With him on top lemin yellow sun, arms raised in a v

And the dead lay in pools of maroon below

Daddy didn’t give attention

Oh, to the fact that mommy didn’t care

King jeremy the wicked...oh, ruled his world...

Jeremy spoke in class today... (2x)

 

Clearly I remember pickin’ on the boy

Seemed a harmless little fuck

Ooh, but we unleashed a lion...

Gnashed his teeth and bit the recess lady’s breast...

How can I forget?

And he hit me with a surprise left

My jaw left hurtin’...ooh, dropped wide open

Just like the day...oh, like the day I heard

 

Daddy didn’t give affection, no...

And the boy was something that mommy wouldn’t wear

King jeremy the wicked...oh, ruled his world

Jeremy spoke in class today... (3x)

Woo... (14x)

Try to forget this...try to forget this...

Try to erase this...try to erase this...

]from the blackboard...

 

Jeremy spoke in class today... (2x)

Jeremy spoke in, spoke in... (2x)

Jeremy spoke in class today...

Woo... (29x)

Woooooohhh...spoke in, spoke in...

Woooooohhh...uh huh, uh huh...

 

Do The Evolution:

Woo..

I’m ahead, I’m a man

I’m the first mammal to wear pants, yeah

I’m at peace with my lust

I can kill ’cause in God I trust, yeah

It’s evolution, baby

 

I’m at piece, I’m the man

Buying stocks on the day of the crash

On the loose, I’m a truck

All the rolling hills, I’ll flatten’ em out, yeah

It’s herd behavior, uh huh

It’s evolution, baby

 

Admire me, admire my home

Admire my song, here’s my coat

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

This land is mine, this land is free

I’ll do what I want but irresponsibly

It’s evolution, baby

 

I’m a thief, I’m a liar

There’s my church, I sing in the choir:

(hallelujah¡­ hallelujah¡­)

 

Admire me, admire my home

Admire my song, admire my clothes

’cause we know, appetite for a nightly feast

Those ignorant indians got nothin’ on me

Nothin’, why?

Because, it’s evolution, baby!

 

I am ahead, I am advanced

I am the first mammal to make plans, yeah

I crawled the earth, but now I’m higher

Twenty-ten, watch it go to fire

It’s evolution, baby (2x)

Do the evolution

Come on, come on, come on

Most of my favorites come from MG/MGB, but I'll skip those since chances are you all know them already.

 

K's Choice - Not An Addict

Jan Johnston (paul oakenfold?) - Flesh

Motorcycle - As The Rush Comes

Massive Attack - Dissolved Girl

 

I knew there was one I found just recently that had great lyrics, but now I can't remember what it was...

Holly Mcnarland- Watching over You

 

 

Have you ever really been alone?

ever really fallen far from grace

do you know you at all?

do you recognize this silent face?

 

i know you

everyone knows how to bleed

you know me

and all the things we need

 

watching over you

and they're watching over me

watching over you

they're watching over me

building our trenches

 

in the order you let down

the mourning that you overcame

the hollow of your spaces

do you recognize this sullen face

 

i know you

everyone knows how to bleed

you know me

and things we all need
