What are your favorite song lyrics? You don't have to post the whole song, just snippets or verses if you want. Maybe why you like the song too.

I embrace my
Desire to
I embrace my
Desire to
Feel the rhythm, to
Feel connected
Enough to step aside and
Weep like a widow, to
Feel inspired, to
Fathom the power, to
Witness the beauty, to
Bathe in the fountain, to
Swing on the spiral, to
Swing on the spiral, to

Swing on the spiral of
Our divinity and
Still be a human

With my feet upon the ground I move myself between the sounds
And open wide to suck it in, I feel it move across my skin
I'm reachin' up and reachin' out, I'm reachin' for the random or
Whatever will bewilder me, whatever will bewilder me
And following our will and wind, we may just go where no one's been
We'll ride the spiral to the end and may just go where no one's been

Spiral out!
Keep going...
Spiral out!
Keep going...
Spiral out!
Keep going...
Spiral out!
Keep going...
"Lateralus" ~Tool

This song is one of my favorites in the world. It's a motto for how I want to live my life, embracing the random and always reaching out for more--more knowledge, spirituality and more...well, the point is to figure it out on the way. You just have to spiral out and keep going!

Here's a nice bonus track from Edguy - "Life and times of a bonus track"

Poor artist went to a label, truckloads of money in mind
Rich artist left the building
Cause all the labels had been standing in line
And so they signed

Artist wrote rock'n roll history
Concentrated on an album so strong
But business claimed limited editions
Insisting on additional songs

That was the time when I had been born
When I first saw the light of day
And even if you got a different opinion
From my point of view - needless to say -
That I'm happy to be
Even if you don't want me to be
The world wouldn't go round without me

I'm a bonus track on my way to Japan
And I'm gonna be spread on the Internet
I'm a bonus track, to Brazil and back
Enjoying worldwide fame

They'll screw the industry, pay no royalty
Burn me on CD, all illegally
Chinese bootlegs, Russian piracy
Cuthroat Germans they all copy me
And I don't give a shit, to me it's all the same
As long as I get all the fame
And the girls know my name

I don't give a fucking shit, no, I don't give a shit
Don't give a fucking shit, no, no...
Not a single little fucking shit
Oh this is it... This is it! It!
I'm a bonus traaaaaaaaaaaaack...

And for a more serious approch, I really love this song:
GAMMARAY - Dream Healer

Who will creep inside your mind at night,
Who makes your wildest dream arise?
Who makes you see what you can't see,
While you're awake but in your dreams?

Out of a world we call the twilight zone he comes,
Out of a world where all your reason is a lie.

DREAM HEALER - he makes you see what you can't see
DREAM HEALER - reflecting your identity.

Shout at the morning when the red sunrise awakes,
The call of reality is all you hear.
Gaze at the stars, when the night comes down again
Then you begin to see through all of your fears.

Out of a world where you can see what is inside
Out of a world where all your reason is a lie.

DREAM HEALER - he makes you see what you can't see
DREAM HEALER - reflecting your identity.

I see red and I see blue, I see green and I see yellow - yellow lights.
One day black another day white. He's one day quiet
Another day he calls my name
He's comin' out
He's comin' out
He's comin' out
He's comin' out!

Listen to dreams - they always tell you the truth.
Listen to dreams - it is your heart that's speakin' to you
Listen - listen to the dream healer

Nice thread, btw

Van Nuys-- SIXX:A.M.

I don't want to die out here in the valley
Waiting for my luck to change
And I just want my dad to know
That I finally made it...

Everybody gets high
Everybody gets low
Everybody gets bruised
Everybody gets sold

I don't want to die out here in the valley
You don't have to lie,
I know that's what I'll do
I don't want my mom to know
That I never loved my life
And I sold my soul

Everybody gets high
Everybody gets low
Everybody gets bruised
Everybody gets sold
Everybody gets dark
Everybody unfolds
Everybody gets high
Everybody gets so low

And everyone's eyes are blue
And everyone's mouth is dry
And nobody wants to die
In Van Nuys
Van Nuys

Everybody gets high
Everybody gets low
Everybody gets bruised
Everybody gets sold
Everybody gets dark
Everybody unfolds
Everybody gets high
Everybody gets so low

Well you don't know how to get back to your crawlspace
Underneath the dirt and the rust and the waste
But the sun sets fast these days.

Everyone's eyes are blue
And everyone's mouth is dry
And nobody wants to die
In Van Nuys
Van Nuys

Everyone's eyes are blue
And everyone's mouth is dry
And nobody wants to die
In Van Nuys
Van--

Everyone's eyes are blue
And everyone's mouth is dry
And nobody wants to die
In Van Nuys, oh

Everyone's eyes are blue
And everyone's mouth is dry
And nobody wants to die
In Van Nuys
Van Nuys

At first I thought it originally said "vain eyes" instead of "Van Nuys". ^-^

I can see that, I can see that.
What does Van Nuys mean anyway?

I think it's a city. Wait, yeah:
Van Nuys (pronounced /vænˈnaɪz/) is a district in the
San Fernando Valley region of the City of Los Angeles, California.

So I think when it says "I don't want to die out here in the valley", that's what it's talking about.
I still think lyrics with "vain eyes" instead of "Van Nuys" would be pretty good. (:

"In The Flesh?" by Pink Floyd

So ya, thought ya, might like to
Go to the show
To feel the warm thrill of confusion,
That space cadet glow
Tell me, is something alluding you, sunshine?
Is this not what you expected to see?
If you wanna find out what's behind these cold eyes,
You'll just have to claw your way through this disguise!

I LOVE Pink Floyd.

Here is my favourite song lyric...

Ring ring ring ring ring ring ring bananaphone
Ring ring ring ring ring ring ring bananaphone

I've got this feeling, so appealing
For us to get together and sing, sing !

Ring ring ring ring ring ring ring bananaphone
Ding dong ding dong ding dong ding donanaphone

It grows in bunches
I've got my hunches
It's the best, beats the rest
Cellular, Modular, Interactive odular

Ring ring ring ring ring ring ring bananaphone
Ping pong ping pong ping pong ping pananaphone

It’s no baloney
It ain’t a phony
My cellular, Bananularphone
Don’t need quarters, don’t need dimes
To call a friend of mine
Don’t need computer or TV
To have a real good time
I call for pizza, I call my cat
I call the White House, have a chat
I place a call around the world
Operator get me Beijing jing jing jing

(Musical Break)

Ring ring ring ring ring ring ring bananaphone
Ying yang ying yang ying yang ying yananaphone

It’s a real live mama and papaphone
A brother and a sister and a dogophone
A grandpa phone and a grandma phone too, oh yeah
My cellular, bananular phone

Bananaphone, ring ring ring It’s a phone with a peel
Bananaphone, ring ring ring Now you can have your phone and eat it too
Bananaphone, ring ring ring This song drives me bananas!
Bananaphone, ring ring ring…..

I hope you hang yourself with your H&M scarf
While jacking off listening to mozart
You bitch and moan about LA
Wishing you were in the rain reading Hemingway
You don’t eat meat
And drive electrical cars
You’re so indie rock it’s almost an art
You need SPF 45 just to stay alive

(CHORUS)
You’re so gay and you don’t even like boys
No you don’t even like
No you don’t even like
No you don’t even like boys
You’re so gay and you don’t even like boys
No you don’t even like
No you don’t even like
No you don’t even like…


You’re so sad maybe you should buy a happy meal
You’re so skinny you should really Super Size the deal
Secretly you’re so amused
That nobody understands you
I’m so mean cause I cannot get you outta your head
I’m so angry cause you’d rather MySpace instead
I can’t believe I fell in love with someone that wears more makeup than…

Katy Perry - You're So Gay.

I love Chase Coy. He has such a pretty voice.
His lyrics are so meaningful, and I just adore them.

Take Me Away -- Chase Coy

Take me away to January
I'm done with this year, I'm tired of everyone here
I just need some time alone
Before I'm ready to come back home
There's gotta be something else out there for me
I could feel it in my heart the day I started to dream
There's more than this Midwestern town
I can't let this place keep me down

So I tell myself

"There's a girl out on the coast of California,
There's a world out there and it's waiting for you."
And I can hear them calling my name tonight.

Take me away, I need the sand and the waves
The sunset and let's not forget those warm autumn days
I just need to get out of here
And visit the coast just to see her
There's gotta be something else out there for me
I could feel it in my heart the day I started to dream
There's more than this Midwestern town
I can't let this place keep me down

So I tell myself

"There's a girl out on the coast of California,
There's a world out there and it's waiting for you."
And I can hear them calling my name tonight.

Take me away to January
I'm done with this year, I'm tired of everyone here
I just need some time alone
Before I'm ready to come back home
