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.
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
"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
