Lyrics Thread

This was a thread on the last GTWF so I thought I'd revive it and not so I can use someone else's work because I'm so un-creative I can't make my own emo poetry.

Have fun...

Also this little snippit that been running through my head this morning.

"Darkness imprisoning me
All that I see
Absolute horror
I cannot live
I cannot die
Trapped in myself
Body my holding cell"

16Volt - Somewhere New

"feeling stuck all the time
i’m locked up in my mind
no way out of this mess
i’m trapped here – more or less

i dream of somewhere new
i gotta get out of here real soon
i’ll get into my car and take a drive
i’ll make it all better overnight

feeling down everyday
the pills won’t take it away
there’s no way out so i fight
i tell myself it will be alright as long as i…

dream of somewhere new
i gotta get out of here real soon
i’ll get into my car and take a drive
i’ll make it all better overnight"

The lyrics sound shitty, but the way they're sung is absolutely fucking perfect.

Hard to believe this is actually an industrial rock band.

From here to there to everywhere and back to Union Square
Where do I get some sleep?

"All this time we were waiting for each other,
All this time I was waiting for you.
We got all these words that can't be wasted on another
So I'm straight in a straight line, running back to you"

Rose is crying in the glass.
My fate is for you.
I'll be in bloom until death of my soul!

美しく生きるために
悲しみと孤独で磨きあげた刃は
あまりにも鋭い諸刃の剣
そう薔薇のように
I can't wield this sword in the glass.

見えないのか? 見せないのか?
合わせ鏡の中の世界
あと少しだけ 自分が消せたなら 視界も晴れただろう
譲れない願いが塞ぐ壁 もうこれ以上壊したくない

憧れと夢に生きて
失った言葉と愛は二度と戻らない
粉々に砕けた私の欠片
この額の中へ

Rose is crying in the glass.
My fate is for you.
I'll be in bloom until death of my soul!

消えない願いはここにある 何も変わらずにただ貫いて

美しく生きるために
悲しみと孤独で磨きあげた刃は
あまりにも鋭い諸刃の剣だけど

誇り高き薔薇のように
いつまでも枯れずにあなたの中で生きたい
こんなにも小さな花びらだけど
ずっと咲いていたい
You can wield this sword in the glass.

rusted wheel planted still
rusted wheel can't move on

and it feels just like the ground
but trapped in another way
just still in the ground

16Volt - Somewhere New

I fucking LOVE 16Volt. Got all their albums and met Eric Powell. He's really sweet.

Beats in- beats in- beats in- beats.
Beats in- beats in- beats in- beats.
Beats in- beats in- beats in- beats.
Beats in my head.

Look at how times have changed baby,
you know why
I can never say no baby,
I can only show you how

My love goes down.

Manic Street Preachers - Die In The Summertime

I have crawled so far sideways
I still recognise dim traces of creation
I want to die
Die in the summertime
I want to die!

Manic Street Preachers - PCP

Teacher starve your child, PC approved
So long as all right words are used
Systemized atrocity ignored so long as bilingual signs on view.
Ten foot sign in Oxford Street: BE PURE, BE VIGILANT, BEHAVE
Grey not neon, grey not real
Life bleeds, death is your birthright.

PC: She speaks impotent and sterile.
Naive, blind, atheist, sadist, stiff upper lip
First principle of her silence
OF HER SILENCE!

PCP: A PC Police victory
PCP: A PC pyrrhic victory
When I was young, PC constable
Nowadays I can't seem to tell the difference.

Lawyers before love!
Surrogate sex.
This land bows down to
Your unconditional love and hate
Pass the prozac
Designer amne-si-a-a-a-a-c!

"Lyrics. They suck.
The rest of this tune will be free of 'em.
Starting now."

*rest of tune plays*

When you're rife with devastation
There's a simple explanation:
You're a toymaker's creation
Trapped inside a crystal ball

And whichever way he tilts it
Know that we must be resilient
We won't let them break our spirits
As we sing this silly song

When I was a little filly, a galloping blaze overtook my city
So they shipped me off to the orphanage. Said, "ditch those roots if you wanna fit in"
So I dug one thousand holes and cut a rug with orphan foals
Memories are blurred, and their faces are obscured, but I still, know the words to this song

When you've bungled all your bangles
And your loved ones have been mangled
Listen to the jingle jangle
Of my gypsy tambourine

'Cause these chords are hypnotizing
And the whole world's harmonizing
So please children stop your crying
And just sing along with me

And in my darkest moment, fetal and weeping.
The moon tells me a secret. My confidant.
As full and bright as I am, this light is not my own
A million light reflections pass over me
It's source is bright and endless.
She resuscitates the hopeless
Without her we are lifeless satellites dreaming dreams.
And as I pull my head out I am without one doubt
Don't want to be down here feeding my narcissism
I must crucify the ego before it's far too late
I pray the light lifts me out before I pine away.

Tool - Reflection

Heimur hljóðlátur
Hreyfist ei hár höfði
Hljómar grafarþögn
Enginn vaknaður
Enginn taktur hraður
Algert dauðalogn

Inn á við held ég
Viðarglætúr birta bál
Einn með mér sjálfum
Anda inn anda frá

Viðáttan er greið
Ferðamönnum og mér
Fyllir fjallasal
Klettar bergmálar
Bergmálar í höfðum
Úti dauðalogn

Inn á við held ég
Viðarglætúr birta bál
Einn með sjálfum mér
Nú sit ég með fast land unðir fót
Morguninn mættur
Með sitt logn á mót storin
Og múkk árast í
Og nú brjótum við dauðalognið

I LOVE Rammstein! :U

I wish that they'd swoop down in a country lane,
Late at night when I'm driving.
Take me on board their beautiful ship,
Show me the world as I'd love to see it.

I'd tell all my friends but they'd never believe me,
They'd think that I'd finally lost it completely.
I'd show them the stars and the meaning of life.
They'd shut me away.
But I'd be alright.

- Subterranean Homesick Alien, Radiohead

I want to mix our blood and put in the ground so you can never leave.

I must've dreamed a thousand dreams
Been haunted by a million screams
But I can hear the marching feet
They're moving into the street.

Now did you read the news today
They say the danger's gone away
But I can see the fire's still alight
There burning into the night.

There's too many men
Too many people
Making too many problems
And not much love to go round
Can't you see
This is a land of confusion.

This is the world we live in
And these are the hands we're given
Use them and let's start trying
To make it a place worth living in.

Ooh Superman where are you now
When everything's gone wrong somehow
The men of steel, the men of power
Are losing control by the hour.

This is the time
This is the place
So we look for the future
But there's not much love to go round
Tell me why, this is a land of confusion.

This is the world we live in
And these are the hands we're given
Use them and let's start trying
To make it a place worth living in.

I remember long ago -
Ooh when the sun was shining
Yes and the stars were bright
All through the night
And the sound of your laughter
As I held you tight
So long ago -

I won't be coming home tonight
My generation will put it right
We're not just making promises
That we know, we'll never keep.

Too many men
There's too many people
Making too many problems
And not much love to go round
Can't you see
This is a land of confusion.

Now this is the world we live in
And these are the hands we're given
Use them and let's start trying
To make it a place worth fighting for.

This is the world we live in
And these are the names we're given
Stand up and let's start showing
Just where our lives are going to.

Finished with my woman 'cause she couldn't help me with my mind
People think I'm insane because I am frowning all the time
All day long I think of things but nothing seems to satisfy
Think I'll lose my mind if I don't find something to pacify
Can you help me occupy my brain?
Oh yeah
I need someone to show me the things in life that I can't find
I can't see the things that make true happiness, I must be blind
Make a joke and I will sigh and you will laugh and I will cry
Happiness I cannot feel and love to me is so unreal
And so as you hear these words telling you now of my state
I tell you to enjoy life I wish I could but it's too late

^ Black Sabbath <3

This is the end
Hold your breath and count to ten
Feel the earth move and then
Hear my heart burst again

For this is the end
I’ve drowned and dreamt this moment
So overdue I owe them
Swept away, I’m stolen

Let the sky fall
When it crumbles
We will stand tall
Face it all together

Let the sky fall
When it crumbles
We will stand tall
Face it all together
At skyfall
At skyfall

Skyfall is where we start
A thousand miles and poles apart
Where worlds collide and days are dark
You may have my number, you can take my name
But you’ll never have my heart

Let the sky fall
When it crumbles
We will stand tall
Face it all together

Let the sky fall
When it crumbles
We will stand tall
Face it all together
At skyfall

Where you go I go
What you see I see
I know I’d never be me
Without the security
Of your loving arms
Keeping me from harm
Put your hand in my hand
And we’ll stand

Let the sky fall
When it crumbles
We will stand tall
Face it all together

Let the sky fall
When it crumbles
We will stand tall
Face it all together
At skyfall

Let the sky fall
We will stand tall
At skyfall

^ Loved that movie *3*

What a thrill...
With darkness and silence through the night
What a thrill...
I'm searching and I'll melt into you
What a fear in my heart
But you're so supreme!

I'd give my life
Not for honour, but for you! [Snake Eater]
In my time there'll be no one else
Crime, it's the way I fly to you! [Snake Eater]
I'm still in a dream,
Snake Eater!

Someday you go through the rain
And someday, you feed on a tree frog
This ordeal, the trial to survive
For the day we see new light!

I'd give my life
Not for honour, but for you! [Snake Eater]
In my time there'll be no one else
Crime, it's the way I fly to you! [Snake Eater]
I'm still in a dream,
Snake Eater!

I am still in a dream,
Snake Eater!

Why can't we not be sober?
I just want to start this over.
And why can't we drink forever?
I just want to start things over.
