Put your favorite lyrics from a song(s) here. Also, explain why you like those lyrics.
The best lyrics IMO are from 2 different songs:

I shut the door and, turned all the lights out, and listened to all the songs that the night shouts. They go something just like this:
So, go fill up your glass with tonic rocks, and gin. And drink yourself to happiness.


From: Can't Be Saved by Senses fail. These lines say that the night is calling to him to go out and drink away all his troubles. I like these lines because they're pretty darn poetic.

And my other favorite lines:

Come down to test the waters, my hands feet like they're rusting away here. So I'll pace around like a lamb before the slaughter, I'll stay here, as long as you'll need me."

From: The Theft by Atreyu. I don't know what the first sentence means, but the second one means he (the singer) doesn't know what to do, but he'll stick around. I like these lines because, like the first one, they're pretty poetic.

So. What are yours?

Creepers KO
Loot his remains and now his sulfurs mine
AYYYY OHHHH
Not today no
And then I'll go to work
Under the birch tree
And I'll make myself
Some TNT
And I'll use these blocks
To build the big city
And I'll mine it all
Using TNT
I came to blow blow blow blow
Up everything you've ever known known known known
Expel you out of house and home home home home
Biome to biome
You shall roam roam roam roam

All of your items

Saying ayyyyyyy ohhh

And now his sulfurs mine

Made in 3 by 3

Every mountain and every valley
Ruler of the world

Where I'll smile with glee
Now that I can make
Some more TNT
Cause I rule the world
Made in 3 by 3

@v6y

No, it doesn't, just a line or lines from a song. Sorry if I made that unclear.

Favourite serious lyrics:

Hey scientist please save us from our rainy days
Because your counterpart in the magic art is manufacturing judgment day

There's a fell wind blowing out of the east
Bringing famine drought and plague
Well now at least that's what they say

Rain fell like judgment
Across my windowpane
Said it fell like judgment
But it was only rain

Well I know what's wrong and I know what's right
And I know that evil exists sure as day turns into night
When a man gets down on his knees to pray you know he'll find what he is able
But chances are he'll find it either way


Only Rain, by Bad Religion.

Funniest lyrics:

the king of Mars perfects his commentary skills
I'm a gold plated man monkey full of dollar bills
if you're happier, dial 1 now
don't be fooled by gravity, and don't be like the sun
something went wrong, I hate this song
and if I could change one thing about the weather
well then I would tell the world and I'd become famous
and then I wouldn't need to care about the weather never
ever anymore cuz I would be relaxing in Hawaii
but that is not my fate, I'm trapped inside a cage
it isn't even locked, but I'm an idiot
(it's an illusion)
Caesar was a criminal, but his mother was a saint
some say that it's subliminal, but I say that it ain't
science was a masquerade, meant to sell you lemonade
and it worked, they're laughing in their graves
once again I'm falling down a mountain like a metaphor
(god **** leprechauns, god **** leprachauns)
shoot me from a cannon to the moon without a helmet on my head
or even oxygen to breath in the offhand chance that there's no air
air is like a something something, air is like an I don't know
and air is just like fog but it's not gray, and it makes me want to
breathe in toxic little fumes and then I breathe out sugar frosted blood
all I ever did to make you laugh was breath out sugar frosted blood
(what do I do now? tell me lest I do nothing... guardian devil)
I'd like to make a toast to all the little garden gnomes
who bravely sacrificed their lives for me
I'd like to make a toast but no one seems to have a cup
I wonder where my cup has gone. I think that it was taken by
the king of Mars perfects his commentary skills
I'm a gold plated man monkey full of dollar bills
you've been standing there, blocking my view
don't be scared by me or me, and don't be like the sun
(because the sun doesn't really exist, it's an illusion
that's why you shouldn't be like the sun,
because if you are, you don't exist
and I don't associate with people who don't exist)


Don't Be Like The Sun, by Lemon Demon

Sorry for making such long quotes, but there's just so much awesome in these songs, I couldn't just choose a small part.

If this world is wearing thin
And you're thinking of escape
I'll go anywhere with you
Just wrap me up in chains
But if you try to go alone
Don't think I'll understand

Stay with me
Stay with me

In the silence of your room
In the darkness of your dreams
You must only think of me
There can be no in between
When your pride is on the floor
I'll make you beg for more

Stay with me
Stay with me

You'd better hope and pray
That you make it safe
Back to your own world
You'd better hope and pray
That you'll wake one day
In your own world
Coz when you sleep at night
They don't hear your cries
In your own world
Only time will tell
If you can break the spell
Back in your own world

Stay with me
Stay with me
Stay, stay with me
Stay, stay, stay, stay, stay
Stay with me


Shakespeare's Sister - Stay, Lyrics!

I'm not sure but, I believe a part of it is referring to suicide, not 100% certain, but I really like this song.

Born To Touch Your Feelings
Scorpions
Taken by Force

I was born from the sound of the strings
For someone to give everything
To be a song just for your feeling
Close your eyes and I'll try to get in
To waken your heart like the spring
'cos I was born to touch your feelings

Steal the time, take a song and be glad
Be free as the birds, don't be sad
Your time will come. I'll make you feel it
You're still young like the sun after rain
Follow the light, it's not in vain
And you will see I'll touch your feelings.

You've got your songs, they are everyday
For a while, just the only way
To feel allright...

You were born just to lose or to win
To be someone's child in the wind
To live between your mind and feelings
Find your way, check it out, learn each day
Follow the light , it's not in vain
And you will see I'll touch your feelings.

You've got your songs, they are everyday
For a while. just the only way
To feel allright ...

NickelBack- If Everyone Cared

If everyone cared and nobody lied
If everyone loved and nobody cried
If everyone lshared and swallowed their pride
Then we'd see the daaaaay
When nobody died

I love this line so much, if only for the fact that this is so true.

Going to lock this as some users seem to have a problem explaining why they like a set of lyrics.
This basically means they are copypasting their entire post (even if it is not a copypaste) as they add nothing original or of their own to the thread.
