Steel yourself for a long OP, but please read at least most of it:

Alright, so last time I attempted to make a thread like this (a while back), it got locked for spam.

So I'm re-attempting this, but with a few new rules.

Like the last time, this thread is for posting your favorite lyrics in a song. But this time, you must explain why you like those lyrics, and maybe you can offer your own interpretation on what it means. Otherwise, it's considered spam, since you're probably just copy-pasting the lyrics from some site.

With that out of the way, I'll start:

And after all this waiting for the skies to fall, I need this to be real.


- From "Be The Young" by Yellowcard.

I like these lyrics because this line perfectly reflects and sums up the entire song. I find myself listening to this line over and over again.

So now it's your turn.

Perhaps you could cite where you got the lyrics?

Do you mean for everyone, or just in my post?

If you're talking about everyone, then yes, please cite where you got the lyrics.

If you're talking about me, then I got my lyrics from listening to the song a lot, and figuring out the lyrics from that.

Lyrics from Only Rain, by Bad Religion


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


What I think this is about is all these doomsday theories people keep coming up with. If you want to, you could also sort of expand that and include all these new discoveries about how everything is unhealthy for you. It could also be an example of how people tend to panic and believe the worst when really there's no real danger around.

Though, personally, I just interpret it as being about doomsday theories and such.

Maybe Monster by Michael Jackson feat. 50-cent. It's about a flying monster who has been a human.

Lyrics:

(Michael Jackson)
You can look at them coming out the walls
You can look at them climbing out the bushes
You can find them when the letter's bout to fall
He be waiting with his camera on focus

Everywhere you seem to turn there's a monster
When you look up in the air there's a monster
Paparazzi got you scared like a monster, monster, monster

Too bad
Oh-oh Hollywood, it's got you jumping like you should
(Too bad)
It's got you bouncing off the walls
It's got you drunk enough to fall
(Oh oh) Hollywood just look in the mirror
And tell me you like, don't you, don't you like it

Monster
He's a monster (mmm...)
He's an animal

Monster (yea-eah)
He's a monster
He's an animal (Oh-oh-oh)

He's coming at ya, coming at ya rather too fast
Mama say, mama got you in a zig zag
And you're running
And you're running just to escape it
But they're gunning for the money so they fake it

Everywhere you seem to turn there's a monster
When you look up in the air there's a monster
When you see them in the street
There's a monster, monster, monster

(Too bad)
(Oh-oh) Hollywood it's got you jumping like you should
It's got you bouncing off the wall
It's got you drunk enough to fall
(Too bad)
(Oh-oh) Hollywood just look in the mirror
And tell me d'you like what you see

Monster
(he's like an animal)
He's a monster
(just like an animal)
He's an animal
(and he's moving in the air)
Monster
He's a monster
He's an animal
(everybody wanna be a star)

Why are they never satisfied with an all you give, (yeh, yeh, yeh, yeah)
You give them your all
They're watching you fall
They eat your soul

[50 Cent]
Catch me in a bad mood, flippin' you'll take a whippin'
Animal, Hannibal, cannibal addition.

Tears appear, yeah, blurring your vision
Fear in the air, screaming, your blood drippin'
Shiver a second, now, now, now, now what is it
Funeral's, cemeteries, don't worry it's time to visit
Broke bones, tombstones, how do you think I'm kidding
Its home, sweet home, the land of the forbidden
All hail, run tell, the King has risen
2010 Thriller, there's nothing iller, it's killer
There vision, the missin' the pack, this is that,
This the bomb, ring the alarm
MJ number 1, it's goes on and on
Its goes on and on
We get to crippin', its running in the early morn'
Keep on dreaming there's nowhere to run
You can drive but you done
I can feel it in the air, hear the monster come.

[Michael Jackson]
(Too bad)
(Oh-oh) Hollywood it's got you jumping (like you should, girl)
It's got you bouncing (ooh off the walls)
It's got you drunk enough to fall
(Too bad)
Oh oh Hollywood
Just making it clearer, and tell me you like
Don't you, don't you like it

Monster
(ah-ah, say you wanna be a star)
He's a monster
(say you wanna go far)
He's an animal
(Why do you keep stalking me)

Monster
(what'd you do to me)
He's a monster
(why did you take, why did you fake it)
He's an animal
(yea-ah, why you haunting me)

Monster
(why you stalking me)
He's a monster
(why you haunting me)
He's an animal
(why'd you do it, why'd you, why you stalking me)

Monster
(why you haunting me)
He's a monster
(why you haunting me)
He's an animal
(Why did you, why did you, oh-oh-oh)

He's dragging you down like a monster
He's keeping you down like a monster

He's dragging you down like a monster
He's keeping you down like a monster


I can sing it whole without problem or looking at the lyrics. Even the rap by 50-cent.

Yeah, that's because one of the members is a professor at UCLA. (My dream school.)

"So watch my chest heave
as this last breath leaves me
I am trying to be
what you're dying to see"


These are from "Paradise Lost" by Hollywood Undead. These really connect me because everyone wants more from one another, and some people just can't do it. So they get leaved behind.

the lyrics to the song linoleum by NOFX are so down to earth. you can tell that it truly came from the writers heart and soul.

Possesions never meant anything to me
I'm not crazy
Well that's not true, I've got a bed, and a guitar
And a dog named dog who pisses on my floor
That's right, I've got a floor
So what, so what, so what?
I've got pockets full of kleenex and lint and holes
Where everything important to me
Just seems to fall right down my leg
And on to the floor
My closest friend linoleum
Linoleum
Supports my head, gives me something to believe
That's me on the beachside combing the sand
Metal meter in my hand
Sporting a pocket full of change
That's me on the street with a violin under my chin
Playing with a grin, singing gibberish
That's me on the back of the bus
That's me in the cell
That's me inside your head
That's me inside your head
That's me inside your head


very well written song

"An Ill wind Blows this way, The edge of the envelope burns, Forbearance and my Vengeance, Payment for your intent, Fear, Death in the wings, In thrall of those Fallen from grace, Petty is as petty does witness the Mass Disgrace"

Hourglass-Lamb of God.
Awesome Lyrics With the Tune of the Song
