Lyrics that affected you deeply

>some might say we dont believe in heaven
>go and tell it to the man who lives in hell

damn..

that's actually a good line I thought Oasis was for normies and brainlets

>cant believe how strange it is to be anything at all

NOW

>There will be a day when
>I don't think about you
>That will be a sad day
>That will be a wonderful day

>just cause you feel it, doesn't mean it's there

>If only I'd thought of the right words
>I could have held on to your heart

Fuck you and this terrible terrible shitpost. Some Might Say is a fantastic song and I know you are meming.

Any line on Carry the Zero btw

SAY IT AIN'T SO
YOUR DRUG IS A HEARBREAKER
SAY IT AIN'T SO
MY LOVE IS A LIFE TAKER

16 just held such better days
Days when I still felt alive
We couldn't wait to get outside
The world was wide, too late to try
The tour was over, we'd survived
I couldn't wait 'til I got home
To pass the time in my room alone

>and hope that at least one you sing about me when i'm gone
>am i worth it?
>did i put enough work in?

I'm a person just like you
But I've got better things to do
Than sit around and fuck my head
Hang out with the living dead
Snort white shit up my nose
Pass out at the shows
I don't even think about speed
That's something I just don't need

Randy Described Eternity gave me a panic attack many years ago that is still having repercussions

>real gs move in silence like lasagna

>So, out of the context and into what you meant
>And you know your reasons
>You don't know who you are
>But you know who you want to be
>I don't know

The ability to change yourself is a nice thought.

>actually if you even consider leaving
>I'll lose a couple screws in due time,
>I'll stop breathing, And you'll see the meaning of stalking
>When I pop out the dark to find you
>And that new dude that you're seeing with an attitude
>Then proceed to fuck up your evening

i was being serious. its really my favorite part of the song, expecially because its also the climax or the chords following the break

>gangsters move in silence nigga and i dont talk alot

>I didn't go to work for a month
>I didn't leave my bed for eight days straight
>I haven't hung out with anyone
>If I did I'd have nothing to say
>When you're living your life well, that's the price you pay

I crie every tiem

SOMEONE ON YOUR SHOULDER

SOMEONE ON YOUR SHOULDER

Conor Oberst is cringey at times, but damn if he isn't a good lyricist
>"If you wanna see the future go stare into a cloud"
>"A mother loans out; sends her kids off to colleges
>her families reduced to names on a shopping list
>While a coroner kneels under a great wooden crucifix
>He knows there's worse things than being alone"

>"Ive got a flask inside my pocket we can share it on the train
>And if you promise to stay conscious I will try and do the same
>We might die from medication but we sure killed all the pain
>What was normal in the evening by the morning seems insane"

Also, obligatory bono:
>"You don't know if it's fear or desire
>Danger the drug that takes you higher
>Head in heaven, fingers in the mire"

>"I've been in every black hole
>At the altar of the dark stare
>My body's now a begging bowl that's begging to get back
>Begging to get back
>To my heart
>To the rhythm of my soul
>To the rhythm of my unconsciousness
>To the rhythm that yearns
>To be released from control"

Tom Petty:
>"So lets to the point
>Lets roll another joint
>And lets head on down the road
>There's somewhere I gotta go
>You don't know how it feels"

And I like Dwight Yoakam
>"They learned readin', rightin', route 23
>To the jobs that laid waiting
>In those cities' factories
>They learned readin', rightin', roads to the north
>To the luxury and comfort a coal miner can't afford
>They thought readin', rightin', route 23
>Would take them to the good life they had never seen
>They didn't know that ol' highway
>Would lead them to a world of misery"

and my favorite Alison Krauss
>"Steel rails; chasin' sunshine round the bend
>Winding through trees like a ribbon in the wind
>I don't mind not knowing what lies down the track
>Cause I'm looking out ahead to keep my mind from turning back

>The sun is shining through the open box car door
>Lying in my mind with the things I've known before
>I've lost count of the hours days and nights
>The rhythm of the rails keeps the motion in my mind"

WRESTLE WITH JIMMY

We can make it if we try
And if we don’t it’s gonna still be alright
Cos our minds are still alive.

>wake me up
>wake me up inside
>can't wake up
>wake me up inside

>sometimes i cant say
>its gonna be better tommorow
>falling away from me
>fàlling
>away from me

>Brother, see we are one in the same
>And you left with your head filled with flames
>And you watched as your brains fell out through your teeth
>Push the pieces in place
>Make your smile sweet to see
>Don't you take this away
>I'm still wanting my face on your cheek

My brother committed suicide a few years ago. Even thinking about that song shakes me.

And I can hear your dog whistle from my bedroom
Yeah yeah
And I can see a flashlight cutting up the trees behind my house
Yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah

>There's no more hugging in the kitchen
>No more pats on the back in the hall
>No more chest on breasty chest behind the curtains
>No more lip on nape of neck in shower stall
>No more rosy gardens, or craving, curving, hips on my belly
>I'm giving up so I can be free from you
>I'm paying fees so I can sever ties from you
>Let craving call
>And beg and bawl
>And face it tall
>Let my soft skin have more sweet soft air on me
>Let boulders drown

damn it phil

>Everyday is all about doing things you don't want to do
>But your reward is
>You get to wake up

wtf i love christianity now

good

[Verse 1]
And I, I've been lonely
And I, I've been blind
And I, I've learned nothing
So my hands are firmly tied
To the sinking lead weight of failure

[Verse 2]
I've worked hard all my life
Money slips through my hands
My face in the mirror tells me
It's no surprise that I am
Pushing the stone up the hill of failure

[Verse 3]
And they tempt me with violence
And they punish me with ideals
And they crush me with an image of my life
That's nothing but unreal
Except on the goddamned slaveship of failure

[Verse 4]
And I'll drown here trying
To get up for some air
But each time I think I breathe
I'm laid on with a double share
Of the punishing burden of failure

(can't post the rest because of word limit

or

[Verse 1]
Through a door in the air
On a crumbling stair
In a clear and rushing vein
In a tunnel full of rain
In a piece of yellow light
On the skin of my eye
Are you there?

[Verse 2]
In the wind of my lung
In methane and in love
In petroleum plumes
There's a floating slice of moon
In your tooth and your claw
And your unforgiving jaws
Are you there?

[Verse 3]
On a burning white ship
In the taste of her lips
In the blood of the swans
As the sun fucks the dawn
In the mud of the lake
In the drunk and the dazed
Are you there?

[Verse 4]
In the now that is not
On a ladder to God
On a mountain stripped bare
With your hand in my hair
Behind the face of the sky
On a disappearing line
Are you there?

[Verse 5]
In the then that was now
In the now that is not
In our names we forgot
In a thought we just lost
We become what we choose
We are stumbling fools
Who are not there

[Verse 6]
There's some tangled dirty twine
In some idiot's clouded mind
There's some wires that won't unwind
Around the ankles of the blind
There's some walls lined with soft lead
And in that room is your bed
Is that really you?

[Outro]
Are you in there?
On the moon?
In the air?
Crushed in my hand?
Thrown in a fire?

A lot of stuff by Car Seat Headrest

And if you really wanted to be kind
You'd have forgiven them a long ass time ago
And if you really wanna know how kind you are
Just ask yourself why you're lying in bed alone

These teenage hands will never touch yours again
But I remember you
You had a body
You had hands and arms and legs and et cetera

Don't get too impressed
You might lose your breath
Don't predict your death
'Cause I like you the best

Don't you fall apart
You might lose my heart
You know I love your art

Also, the breakdown in Ballad of the Costa Concordia, and the entirety of My Boy (Twin Fantasy), though that is just:

My boy, we don't see each other much
It will take some time
But somewhere down the line
We won't be alone

Never been so far away
Just lost the last thought in my head, what happens now?
Some fantasy you've been
Pick up the pieces in my mind, I'm going...

I thought there would be a lot by Why?, but I can't really pinpoint it. I guess the lyrics are stronger in the songs than when written out.

They say sex will keep you young and make you older at the same time
They say sex will have left you age normally
So I guess it's sorta like smoking and walking at the same time
In that it will have left you aged normally

They have some really great lyrics

>But maybe you touch one life
>And the world becomes a better place to be
>Maybe you give their dreams another day
>Another chance to be free

>I felt the noose tighten up on your collar bone
>I felt the gun in the small of your back
>Engraved in the stone, by request
>and recurse of friends dead is:
>“Tell me again that it’s all in my head.”

But if we can stay one inch this side of dying
The most terrible things we can imagine can happen
And our breath will carry us forwards
When we don't have the strength to carry ourselves

i don't feel and it feels great
i sold my atlas by the freight stairs
i do lines and i cross roads
i cross the lines of all the great roads

>TOMORROW HOLDS SUCH BETTER DAYS
still waiting, fellas

this x 100

Bright eyes' a perfect sonnet has amazing lyrics. he did write some pretty good lyrics.

PLEASE FALL ASLEEP

>I'd like to be somebody else
>And not know where I've been
>I'd like to build myself
>A house out of plasticine

that's the fucking shittiest reward, what the fuck. even more so considering what you have to do to "earn it".

DIGGING THROUGH THE MEMORIES THAT MADE YOU FEEL ALIVE WHEN YOU WERE YOUNG

what an amazing album.
life has been rough, pals.

I'm afraid of the way that I live my life
I'm afraid of the way I don't
I'm afraid of the things that I wanna do but I won't
I'm afraid of God
I'm afraid to believe
I'm afraid of all the loved ones that I made leave
I'm afraid that my dog doesn't love me anymore

It's harder to be yourself than it is to be anybody else

Also the entirety of Getting Naked Playing With Guns, it has a really nostalgic vibe to it that gets me every time.

I GOT A BITCH THAT SUCK MY DICK TIL' I NUT
SPIT IT ON MY GUT AND SLURP THAT SHIT BACK UP

I looked my family in the eyes and told them "Leave me to die, or I'll make you sorry you didn't."
I've wasted good chances I've had in this life, that other people won't even get.
I put off setting things right with Andy, and now he's dead.

>some might say heaven isn't a place on earth
>go and tell it to the man who lives in hell

NIGGAS IFFY UH
I GOT A STIFFY UH
CUM REAL STICKY UH

Mark?

this, all of beach life in death too

not the best lyrics in the song

best lyrics
>some might say that we should never ponder
>on our thoughts today because they all sway over time

as a neurotic person these are great lyrics

All lyrics seem so gay without music, then again, it could just be Sup Forums's taste in music.

I just read the lyrics again, this part is really great:

I am almost completely soulless
I am incapable of being human
I am incapable of being inhuman
I am living uncontrollably
It should be antidepression
As a friend of mine suggested
Because it's not the sadness that hurts you
It's the brain's reaction against it

Especially when the first part is picked up again in Nervous Young Inhumans.

yeah, thats the section i was thinking of but i decided to just name the whole song haha

>some might say we
Isn't it "I" not "we"?

>The last time I saw you, I was holding your hand
>And I couldn't wait for you to leave.
>I knew right then, that it was over and done
>And I couldn't believe that I was free.
I cri evertim. The fact that it comes right after way less serious songs like Papa Zit and LMLYP makes the emotion hit me that much harder.

"I don't want to go insane" is also really strong, atleast the way Will sings it.
"The ocean washed over your grave" is another line picked up in a later song (Famous Prophets, probably my favourite song of theirs) it seems to be a theme of the entire album. Will has a great style of writing lines and building structures with them by refering to them later on, by repeating them or rephrasing them in some way.

Come on, let's find a way to be happy
Not like Plankton, he'll never be satisfied
Always complaining about his life
To his computer wife
You think he would've found out by now
To be thought of as a king
You don't need a crown

Don't ask me why Flips lyrics to a song they wrote for a Spongebob movie get me so much, but I think it's all really well done, especially since it ties into the theme of the movie, growing up in some way (the plot is that Spongebob and Patrick try to recover the crown of Neptune, hence the line in the end). It's all really cheesy, but it tugs on my heartstrings in a certain way since I have some great deal of nostalgia for that film.

definitely. the reprise of stop smoking where he says keep smoking instead in high to death really got me the first time i listened. the self-referential quality of his music is something i love

>Late for everything, my face to the cement
>That's how I always seen it
>I spent days faded and anemic
>You could see it in my face, I ain't been eatin', I'm just wastin' away
>Looks like the way that River Phoenix went gon' end up my fate
>And when they drag me out the gutter, mail the ashes to my mother
>Twist the spliff if I don't finish my plate
>Slip a fist up for my niggas in chains, my mental was caged
>See, I ain't been to prison but the feeling's the same
>Shared sentiment, winnin' if the pen hit the page
>As of late, I've been watchin' every bitch in my space
>Shit's just lookin' different with age
>Try to make some sense of all this shit in my brain
>One foot stuck in a tar pit of my ways

also


The doldrums
The doldrums

>Making me ill from being so still
>I'm living with my self these days
>With barely anything to say
>I'm living with my problems and can't
>Do a thing about them

>I'm just so scared
>Can't do anything
>I'm just so scared
>Can't do anything

>The doldrums
>The doldrums

>Where are you going I don't mind
>I've killed my world and I've killed my time
>So where do I go what do I see
>I see many people coming after me
>So where are you going to I don't mind
>If I live too long I'm afraid I'll die
>So I will follow you wherever you go
>If your offered hand is still open to me
>Strangers on this road we are on
>We are not two we are one

>THIS LIFE IS ON MY SIDE, I AM YOUR ONE

>i can't seeeee you, i'll open up my brain again

>i know, because tonight is like every other night, that's why you're on your own tonight

>i want him to be what he once was, my bestfriend and stop that he still is, i don't really ever think about it that, no i don't really ever think about it that way

these things I'll be until I die...

Happy's perfect
Perfect's tame
Tame and cashmere go together
Cashmere makes perfect better
John and Shelley, my people would never
Don't it feel good to drive a bus?
People need to get picked up
Pride your uniform and stunt
You do what my people would, grunt
Don't it feel right to sell a tent?
People like to tell your scent
Pause the bus, put off your yell
You yell at my people would say
Hey
It's a party
Come early if ya lonely
Say hey kid say hey, don't you OD

>Thought you'd be looking for the next in line to love
>Then ignore, put out, and put away
>And so you'd soon be leaving me
>Alone, like I'm supposed to be
>Tonight, tomorrow, and everyday

>There's nothing here that you'll miss
>I can guarantee you this
>Is a cloud of smoke
>Trying to occupy space
>What a fucking joke

>I waited for a bus to separate the both of us
>And take me off, far away from you
>Cause my feelings never change a bit
>I always feel like shit
>I don't know why, I guess that I just do

>You once talked to me about love
>And you painted pictures of
>A Never Never Land
>And I could've gone to that place
>But I didn't understand

This is honestly how I am in every relationship, but it hit especially hard after the nasty-ass breakup I had two weeks ago

the original lyrics to I Didn't Understand are pretty interesting. Rather than expressing remorse over someone who passed him by, it attacks the very idea that people can love each other. I think Elliott Smith really fucked himself up and lost some great opportunities.

Don't you worry, impossible for anything to be a big deal
I'm in no weary, my vital post dated
But clearly been ages since life had appeal
Far more than fascination
My second nature chant kill cause I can
This body by my own hands
My friends and family won't understand
So I stay in the end, don't make none to me
If it wasn't for them, I'd make that decision
On GP
in other words I'm fucking tired and I don't know why I just don't want to be here

i had been listening to this album for years and i never noticed the lyrics but once i finally did... damn ;_;

One minute you think you're all this
Next minute you think you're all that
But cha playin with the nova
Momma didn't show ya
how to take gettin canned like a man
When it's ova
I'll be hunting you down
Waiting for that payback, your frown
Begging me for your mercy
But I ain't down with the sympathy you see
And I'll always remember your tender love
Wipe me under the rug
Just so you can step on my spine
Well I'm gonna get mine

>My lean cost more than your rent
> Your mama still live in a tent, yeah

...
