Hey, this thread is for those who feel like sharing lyrics of their favorite songs, or lyrics that you wrote yourself! Even if it's just pieces of a song, feel free to post it! I believe that your spark can start a fire When they try to tell you that your one and only shot failed It's not over yet Keep pushing forward and I know one day you'll prevail It's not over yet Let your fears fall by the wayside Keep on fighting for a better life It's not over yet - Not Over Yet by Memphis May Fire. Brand new, came out two months ago I think? Quickly became my favorite.
These are some of my favorite lyrics. This is from a song called "Me, Myself, and I" by G Eazy ft Bebe Rexha "Ohhhhh, it's just me, myself, and I, solo ride until I die ........" "But regardless I'll always keep keepin' on Fuck fake friends, we don't take L's we just make M's,...."
"There's no escape I'll find a way Betrayed by hope and cursed by fate Got one last chance, and now I'm not afraid To save myself from me" "Save Myself from Me" by New Years Day
"Fight the Good Fight" by Walls of Jericho (it's in spoiler tags because I posted the entire song). Spoiler [Verse] I walk the path everyday That crashes down upon me And suffocates my breath And leaves me left for dead I'll grab life by the throat And make it my own To rise above the ashes into the unknown [Pre-Chorus] So hear and now We won't back down I will not be the victim or crucify myself I'll break these fucking chains And burn this fucker down [Chorus] Take hold of what's right It's how you choose to live your life that counts Fight the good fight It's how you choose to live your life that counts Let's go Don't be fooled It's not just you We all have dreams that don't come true But will it stop you /stop you)? Fight or die Fight or die That's how I want to live my life It won't stop me And I will die to take hold of what is mine [Pre-Chorus] So hear and now We won't back down I will not be the victim or crucify myself I'll break these fucking chains And burn this fucker down [Chorus] Take hold of what's right It's how you choose to live your life that counts Fight the good fight It's how you choose to live your life that counts [Outro] In the end All that matters Is that you did what counts That counts (2x) This is one of my favorite songs of all time, it's great for getting you up when you're depressed. (for a quote from another song I like, see below).
Migraine - Twenty One Pilots Am I the only one I know Waging my wars behind my face and above my throat? Shadows will scream that I'm alone, But I know we've made it this far, kid. Yeah, yeah, yeah Paolo Nutini - Iron Skies We are proud individuals living on the city But the flames couldn’t go much higher We find gods and religions to To paint us with salvation But no one No nobody Can give you the power To rise over love And over hate Through this iron sky That’s fast becoming our minds Over fear and into freedom Car Radio - Twenty One Pilots I ponder of something great My lungs will fill and then deflate They fill with fire Exhale desire I know it's dire My time today Sometimes quiet is violent
These are the lyrics to a song I wrote about being LGBTQ+ What guidebook do we get? What secret handshake is ours? Where are our velvet ropes? Or the hearts inside their jokes? Hold onto what they give us The scraps they deem Scrappy enough for us Good enough for them It's called Hearts. Also, some lyrics to a song I love: You are not a computer You are complex and undefined So why let yourself be limited to binary desires? To binary identities and Binary ideals like Switching on and switching off or Choosing a bowtie or high heels - Binary by the Spook School
This is a real short bit from the Elvis Costello song "(The Angels Want to Wear My) Red Shoes". I don't really know why, but I think this part is awesome. 'Oh, oh I said, "I'm so happy I could die" She said, "Drop dead, " then left with another guy'
"To stand out! Above the crowd Even if I gotta shout out loud Till mine is the only face you'll see Gonna staaaaaaand out, till you notice me." Stand Out by Tevin Campbell (A Goofy Movie ST) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Out time has come, we're gonna walk in the sun, oh Packed my heart, we're ready to roll, we're on our way! With a little faith we can, step from the shadows and, Tell everyone, turn the spotlight on! Now our time has come!" Out Time Has Come by Martin Page, Performed by James Ingram and Carnie Wilson (Cats Don't Dance ST)
Hold your hat and hang on to your soul Something's coming to eat the world whole If we fight it we've still got a chance But whatever they offer you Though they're slopping the trough for you Please, whatever they offer you Don't feed the plants The final song from Little Shop Of Horrors (the original ending)
Death surrounds My heartbeat’s slowing down I won’t take this world’s abuse I won’t give up, I refuse! This is how it feels when you’re bent and broken This is how it feels when your dignity’s stolen When everything you love is leaving You hold on to what you believe in -Not Gonna Die by Skillet ------------------------------------------------ I'm awake I'm alive Now I know what I believe inside Now it's my time I'll do what I want 'cause this is my life here (right here), right now (right now) I'll stand my ground and never back down I know what I believe inside I'm awake and I'm alive -Awake and Alive by Skillet
I am convinced that "Gloomy Sunday" (sung by various artists, but most famously Billie Holiday) is the greatest lyrical masterpiece ever written in modern times. To prove it, I give to you, "Gloomy Sunday" in its entirety, because there's no part of the song that should be cut. Sunday is gloomy, My hours are slumberless. Dearest, the shadows I live with are numberless. Little white flowers Will never awaken you. Not where the black coach Of sorrow has taken you. Angels have no thought Of ever returning you. Would they be angry If I thought of joining you? Gloomy Sunday Gloomy is Sunday, With shadows I spend it all. My heart and I, have Decided to end it all. Soon there'll be candles And prayers that are said, I know. Let them not weep, Let them know that I'm glad to go. Death is no dream, For in death I'm caressing you. With the last breath of my soul, I'll be blessin' you. Gloomy Sunday Dreaming, I was only dreaming. I wake and I find you asleep In the deep of my heart, dear. Darling, I hope that My dream never haunted you. My heart is telling you, How much I wanted you. Gloomy Sunday
Survival Song by AJJ: "I broke my promise on a very sharp rock And I was possessed by something quite unfriendly And I was haunted by a demon in my sleep And that’s how I learned how to survive And I gave a beer to a bum that was drinking And I gave some sauce to my bestest friend for cooking And I gave water to all I thought were thirsty And that’s how I learned how to survive I gave my money to the bank for safe keeping And I gave my money to my landlord he was needing it And I gave attention to the T.V. that was bleeding And that’s how I learned how to survive"
Jim Bogart by The Front Bottoms I would sleep better on your floor than I would ever in my bed And if your carpet makes my face itch It'd still be heaven in my head I would play more than just four chords If it's a song that you might like But I am not very good So I would practice every night Only In Dreams by Weezer You can't resist her She's in your bones She is your marrow And your ride home You can't avoid her She's in the air (in the air) In between molecules Of oxygen and carbon dioxide Lilac Wine by Jeff Buckley When I think more than I want to think Do things I never should do I drink much more that I ought to drink Because (it) brings me back you Another Love by Tom Odell I wanna sing a song, that'd be just ours But I sang 'em all to another heart And I wanna cry, I wanna fall in love But all my tears have been used up Please, Please, Please Let Me Get What I Want by The Smiths Good times for a change see, the luck I've had can make a good man turn bad So please please please let me, let me, let me let me get what I want this time I would write more but im sure this is already too much :/
Way Out There from the lovely album Strange Trails by Lord Huron. I'm a long way from the one that I loved I've been tending old flames, lamenting what was Drifting in a land time forgot If you think that I've changed, you know me not I belong bodily to the earth I'm just wearing old bones from those that came first I been unraveling since my birth Gonna wander out there and see what I'm worth Follow me way out there There's no road that will lead us back When you follow the strange trails They will take you to who knows where If I found a way to stay with you tonight It would only make me late, for a date I can't escape
"I will face the day I'll break away from this dying part of me I'll breathe new life into what was dark and grey And I hope I can make it Through another day And I hope I can make it Going on this way" Face The Day by From Ashes to New(I'm hooked on this band right now)
King of Anything Sara Bareilles Keep drinking coffee, stare me down across the table While I look outside So many things I'd say if only I were able But I just keep quiet and count the cars that pass by You've got opinions, man We're all entitled to 'em, but I never asked So let me thank you for your time, And try not to waste anymore of mine And get out of here fast I hate to break it to you babe, but I'm not drowning There's no one here to save Who cares if you disagree? You are not me Who made you king of anything? So you dare tell me who to be? Who died and made you king of anything? You sound so innocent, all full of good intent Swear you know best But you expect me to jump up on board with you And ride off into your delusional sunset I'm not the one who's lost with no direction But you'll never see You're so busy making masks with my name on them in all caps You got the talking down, just not the listening And who cares if you disagree? You are not me Who made you king of anything? So you dare tell me who to be? Who died and made you king of anything? All my life I've tried to make everybody happy While I just hurt and hide Waiting for someone to tell me it's my turn to decide Who cares if you disagree? You are not me Who made you king of anything? So you dare tell me who to be? Who died and made you king of anything? Who cares if you disagree? You are not me Who made you king of anything? So you dare tell me who to be? Who died and made you king of anything? Let me hold your crown, babe
The Rainbow by Ween Many colors in the homo rainbow Don't be afraid to let your colors shine Many colors in the homo rainbow Show me yours, I'm gonna show you mine If you find a pot of gold Then every little thing Is gonna work out fine In the homo rainbow Silver by The Pixies even there's a reason it's silver it's gone in this land of strangers there are dangers there are sorrows The Hurdy Gurdy Man by Donovan Thrown like a star in my vast sleep I open my eyes to take a peep To find that I was by the sea Gazing with tranquility. 'Twas then when the Hurdy Gurdy Man Came singing songs of love, Then when the Hurdy Gurdy Man Came singing songs of love.
