Song Lyrics

[KarrdeKNR]

Been a while since we've done one of these, and it's always fun to see other people's tastes in music. Post the band, album name, song title and lyrics to a song. Obviously, I'll go first.

VNV Nation - Futureperfect - Holding On

I thought the future held a perfect place for us
That together we would learn to be the best that we could be
In my naivity I ran I fell and lost my way
Somehow I always end up falling over me
And one day I woke to find the future had no place for me
I was unwanted in a world that with my hands I helped build
Where once was honesty and pride I now stand broken and alone Just a shadow of what I was ment to be

Does anybody feel the way I do?
Is there anybody out there?
Are you hearing me?
I believe in you Will you believe in me?
Or am I alone in this hall of dreams?
I believe in you You believe in me
But I have no trust in anything
Somehow I'm always always falling over me.

They say that "Time will heal"
"The truth shall set us free"
Well that depends on what it is that you choose to believe
In this prison made of lies we see what it is we want to see
And find comfort in this broken hall of dreams

Does anybody feel the way I do?
Is there anybody out there?
Are you hearing me?
I believe in you Will you believe in me?
Or am I alone in this hall of dreams?
I believe in you You believe in me
But I have no trust in anything
Somehow I'm always always falling over me
Somehow I'm always I'm always falling over me.

Dream Theater - As I Am

Don't
Tell me what's in
Tell me how write
Don't tell me how to win
This fight
Isn't your life
It isn't your right
To take the only thing that's
mine

Proven over time
It is over your head
Don't try to read between the
Lines
I clearly define
"Never lose sight of
Something you believe in"

Taking in the view from the outside
Feeling like the underdog
Watching through the window I'm on the outside
Living like the underdog

I've been trying to justify you
In the end I will just defy you

To those who understand, I extend my hand
To the doubtful I demand, take me as I am
Not under your command, I know where I stand
I won't change to fit your plan, Take me as I am

As I am

Still
Running uphill
Swimming against the current
I wish I weren't so
****ed
Feels like I'm stuck
Lost in a sea of mediocrite

Slow down,
You're thinking too much
Where is your soul?
You cannot touch
The way I
Play
Or tell me what to say
You're in the way
Of all that I believe in

Taking in the view from the outside
Feeling like the underdog
Watching through the window I'm on the outside
Living like the underdog
I've been wasting my breath on you
Open minds will descent upon you

To those who understand, I extend my hand
To the doubtful I demand, take me as I am
Not under your command, I know where I stand
I won't change to fit your plan, take me as I am

Johnny Cash - Walk the Line

I keep a close watch on this heart of mine
I keep my eyes wide open all the time.
I keep the ends out for the tie that binds
Because you're mine,
I walk the line

I find it very, very easy to be true
I find myself alone when each day is through
Yes, I'll admit I'm a fool for you
Because you're mine,
I walk the line

As sure as night is dark and day is light
I keep you on my mind both day and night
And happiness I've known proves that it's right
Because you're mine,
I walk the line

You've got a way to keep me on your side
You give me cause for love that I can't hide
For you I know I'd even try to turn the tide
Because you're mine,
I walk the line

Thats right, its a cash song, you know you love them.

 

[ZeroNightmare]

johny cash was ****ing crazy.

 

[Almighty_Gir]

pffft, Ring of Fire was the best...

anyway, i'm trying to steer clear of all the usual thrash/oldschool metal i listen to lol:

In Flames - Take This Life

It's not so much the pain
It's more the actual knife
Pretending the picture is perfect,
I cut myself to sleep
I close my eyes for a second
And meet a fragile soul
I scream to hide that I'm lonely,
The echo calls my name

If I ever... if I never...
Make me understand the thought whatever
Make me see... make me be...
Make me understand you're there for me

Take this life
I'm right here
Stay a while and breathe me in

Take this life
I'm right here
Stay a while and breathe me in

The water drops
Just beg to hit me
Why now? Haven't rained for days
No time to play hide and seek
I call upon you to take me on
Break me down to pieces
Put me back,
Do it right this time
Struggling to fill this empty stream
Burn my efforts in the end it means NOTHING

If I ever... if I never...
Make me understand the thought whatever
Make me see... make me be...
Make me understand you're there for me

Take this life
I'm right here
Stay a while and breathe me in

Take this life
I'm right here
Stay a while and breathe me in

These thougths burn a hole in my heart
These thoughts will keep me feeling

These thougths burn a hole in my heart
These thoughts will keep me feeling

If I ever... if I never...
Make me understand the thought whatever
Make me see... make me be...
Make me understand you're there for me

Take this life
I'm right here
Stay a while and breathe me in

Take this life
I'm right here
Stay a while and breathe me in

Korn - Kill You

Living life
Don't you cry
My life
Pain is god
Many nights
Painful thoughts occur
You yell at me, again I'm wrong

In denial
I tried to be your friend
I tried to be
A good boy
All I see
A hate deep inside
Startle me
Someone save me

All these memories
Kill my heart
They bury me

All I want to do
(You are not my real mother)
Is kill you
(Should I beat and stab and **** her)

Looking back
I was never ever right
You were my step mom
Who always wanted me out of your sight
I would come walkin' in and I'd say, "Hello"
But you'd slap me
And you'd make some ****ed-up comment about my clothes
But I tried to let it pass
But the visions in my head were of you
With a knife up your ass laying dead
So I popped some more caps in your ass
Now your son is not so fun
Mother****ing ***** never try to play me

You make my life
Not so

All I want to do
Is kill you

Wish! You! Were dead! Now!

How
I know
How can I cry over someone I never loved
Never loved

I think this is the most powerful song by Korn...Jonothan Davis's mom was very abusive to him when he was a child and this song is obviously about her. It gives me the chills every time I hear it.

 

[DaRkOwNs]

Ozzy Osbourne - Bark at the Moon

Screams break the silence
Waking from the dead of night
Vengence is boiling
Hes returned to kill the light
Then when hes found who hes looking for
Listen in awe and youll hear him

Bark at the moon

Years spent in torment
Buried in a nameless grave
Now he has risen
Miracles would have to save
Those that this beast is looking for
Listen in awe and youll hear him

Bark at the moon

They cursed and buried him
Along with shame
And thought his timeless soul had gone
In empty burning hell--unholy one
But now hes returned to prove them wrong (oh no)

Howling in shadows
Living in a lunar spell
He finds his heaven
Spewing from the mouth of hell

And when he finds who hes looking for
Listen in awe and youll hear him
Bark at the moon.

Song: Numb
Album: Meteora
Band: Linkin Park

I'm tired of being what you want me to be
Feeling so faithless lost under the surface
Don't know what you're expecting of me
Put under the pressure of walking in your shoes
(Caught in the undertow just caught in the undertow)
Every step that I take is another mistake to you
(Caught in the undertow just caught in the undertow)

[Chorus]
I've become so numb I can't feel you there
Become so tired so much more aware
I'm becoming this all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you

Can't you see that you're smothering me
Holding too tightly afraid to lose control
Cause everything that you thought I would be
Has fallen apart right in front of you
(Caught in the undertow just caught in the undertow)
Every step that I take is another mistake to you
(Caught in the undertow just caught in the undertow)
And every second I waste is more than I can take

[Chorus]
I've become so numb I can't feel you there
Become so tired so much more aware
I'm becoming this all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you

And I know
I may end up failing too
But I know
You were just like me with someone disappointed in you

[Chorus]
I've become so numb I can't feel you there
Become so tired so much more aware
I'm becoming this all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you

[Chorus]
I've become so numb I can't feel you there
I'm tired of being what you want me to be
I've become so numb I can't feel you there
I'm tired of being what you want me to be

Meshuggah - I - 23 minute song of pure chaotic bliss

I-this fractal illusion burning away all structure toward the obscene.
I- to cleanse, to purge, to breach eternity and smother all life.
Blind- these mortal men of clay, divine and dying in their harnessed form.
I-this furnace of limitless hate.Bestial, pure.

The pendulum swings semi-attached to the centre of all
I drug these minds into ruin and contempt -the acid smoke of burning souls.

This is an anomaly.Disabled. What is true?
Not destined for incarceration, I crave my nothingness.

The illness that they whisper of, is that what makes me fail?
I see through the eyes of the blind.
Not clear what it is to be this self I dread, the immense, the rabid I am.
The cogs turn, grinding away at ceaselessness-willing it to dust.

Re-disintegration. Convulse. A dead universe-Impales this twilight.
Fear aligns.Sadistic me. Meant to devour.Despair.
Sickened by the fact that immortality is not mine to have.

A snail along a straight razor-dividing itself through motion.
I charge this feeble product of god.
Laughing, drenched in the bile of millions.
Chewing on the stinking flesh of the crown of creation.

Solitude is splendor has been rivalled.
Shrouds stained with tarblack vomit.
Veiling the rotting eyes of the masses.
The strain of armageddon evolves.

Shifting through worlds from chaos, to chaos, to chaos.
I devour this manure of existence -infertile,barren,whole.
Rancid redeemer. Virulent deterioration of faith.

Sacrilege in persona. In truth, fundamentally twisted.
A witness to the savage carnage.A frenzy of animosity.
The will to mutilate. Dominant deviation.
The worship of the sick and degenerate will spread.

Conception derived from misconceptions.
The dimensionless features of thruth.
Silence in the core of undoing.
Untie its knots and set it loose.

The inertia of my existence is clear.
Premutations of slaughtered worlds.
I alone will behold the dying sky.
A servant of eternity.

Progress finally, emergence of doom complete.
Here only to reverse the flow of life.

****ing Dragonforce - Fury of the storm

LAA,LAAA,LAAAAAAAAAAAA

We are riding for the battle field in force tonight
Fury of the darkest evil cry for war
Far beyond the boundaries of hell and starlight
On the road to lands unknown forever more

Through the caverns far below our quest will lead us
Onwards through the ice and snow forever more
Standing fighting full of hate the time has come now
Stand and sound the guns of glory cry for war

On wings of glory we will carry on
Far across forgotten lands towards the distant sun
And in the darkness shining far beyond the starlight
Lightning is striking from the dark dawning shadows
And in the kingdom of the everlasting sun
When the glory of the master's time has come!

Into the fires of the shadows we will fly through the heavens
With the power of the universe we stand strong together
Through the forced in each other, it will soon reach the hour
For a victory we ride, Fury of the Storm!

We are the chosen ones we can not fail now
Spilling all the blood on the fires below
Smashing through the boundaries with the fire and fury
Killing all the mortals down the winding road

Hell fires are raging the storm growing strong
On the path to victory towards the distant sun
And in the darkness shining far beyond the starlight
Lightning is striking from the dark dawning shadows
And in the kingdom of the everlasting sun
When the glory of the master's time has come!

Into the fires of forever we will fly through the heavens
With the power of the universe we stand strong together
Through the forced in each other, it will soon reach the hour
For a victory we ride, Fury of the Storm!

[167.3 second Instumental]

Into the fires of forever we will fly through the heavens
With the power of the universe we stand strong together!
Into the fires of forever we will fly through the heavens
With the power of the universe we stand strong together
Through the forced in each other, it will soon reach the hour
For victory we ride, Fury of the Storm!
For victory we ride, Fury of the Storm!

Carlos Santana featuring Chad Kroeger

Song: Why dont you and I

Since the moment I spotted you
Like walking round with little wings on my shoes
My stomach's filled with the butterflies...ooo and it's alright
Bouncing round from cloud to cloud
I got the feeling like I'm never going to come down
If I said I didn't like it then you know I'd lied ooo

[Chorus:]
Everytime I try to talk to you
I get tongue-tied
Turns out everything I say to you
Comes out wrong and never comes out right

[Chorus:]
So I'll say why don't you and I get together and take on the world
and be together forever
Heads we will and tails we'll try again
So I say why don't you and I hold each other and fly to the moon
and straight on to heaven
Cause without you they're never going to let me in

When's this fever going to break?
I think I've handled more than any man can take
I'm like a love-sick puppy chasing you around ooo
And it's alright
Bouncing round from cloud to cloud
I got the feeling like I'm never going to come down
If said I didn't like it then you know I'd lied ooo

Every time I try to talk to you
I get tongue-tied
Turns out everything I say to you
Comes out wrong and never comes out right

So I'll say why don't you and I get together and take on the world
and be together forever
Heads we will and tails we'll try again
So I say why don't you and I hold each other and fly to the moon
and straight on to heaven
Cause without you they're never going to let me in

Slowly I begin to realize this is never going to end
Right about the same you walk by
And I say 'Oh here we go again' Oh
Everytime I try to talk to you
I get tongue-tied
Turns out everything I say to you
Comes out wrong and never comes out right

So I'll say why don't you and I get together and take on the world
and be together forever
Heads we will and tails we'll try again
So I say why don't you and I hold each other and fly to the moon
and straight on to heaven
Cause without you they're never going to let me in

So I'll say why don't you and I get together and take on the world
and be together forever
Heads we will and tails we'll try again
So I say why don't you and I hold each other and fly to the moon
and straight on to heaven
Cause without you they're never going to let me in

Artist: Amon Amarth
Song: Cry of the Black Birds
Album: With Oden on Our Side


Raise your swords up high!
See the black birds fly!
Let them hear your rage!
Show no fear!
Attack!

Charge your horses across the fields
Together we ride into destiny
Have no fear of death, when it's your time
Oden will bring us home when we die!

The ground trembles under us
As we make our thunder charge
The pounding hooves strikes blinding fear
Into their heart

Our helmets shine in the sun
As we near their wall of shields
Some of them turn and run
When they hear our frenzied screams

Draw your swords to strike
Hear the Black Birds cry!
Let them feel your hate!
Show no fear!

(Attack! Attack! Attack! Attack!)

Charge your horses across the fields
Together we ride into destiny
Have no fear of death, when it's your time
Oden will bring us home when we die!

The enemies are in disarray
Ride them down as they run
Send them to their violent graves,
Dead and wounded lie all around,
See the pain in their eyes
Over the field an eerie sound,
As we hear the ravens' cry

Song: 10,000 Days (Wings for Marie, Part II)
Album: 10,000 Days

-----------------

Listen to the tales and romanticize,
How we follow the path of the hero

Boast about the day when the rivers overrun,
How we rise to the height of our halo.

Listen to the tales as we all rationalize
Our way into the arms of the savior
Feigning all the trials and the tribulations,

None of us have actually been there,
Not like you...

Ignorant flippants in the congregation
Gather around spewing sympathy,
Spare me...

None of them can even hold a candle up to you,
Blinded by choices hypocrites won't see

But enough about the collective Judas
Who could deny you were the one who illuminated
your little piece of the divine

This little light of mine, a gift you passed onto me,
I'm gonna let it shine,
to guide you safely on your way

Your way home...

Ohh, what are they gonna do when the lights go down
without you to guide them all to Zion?
What are they gonna do when the rivers overrun
other than tremble incessantly?

High is the way
but our eyes are upon the ground.
You are the light and the way
They'll only read about

I only pray heaven knows
When to lift you out

10,000 days in the fire is long enough.
You're going home...

You're the only one who can hold your head up high,
Shake your fist at the gates saying,
"I have come home now!

Fetch me the spirit, the son and the father,
Tell them their pillar of faith has ascended.

It's time now!
My time now!
Give me my
Give me my wings!"...

Give me my (x5)

"Give me my wings!"

You are the light, the way, that they will only read about

Set as I am in my ways and my arrogance
Burden of proof tossed upon non-believers.
You were my witness, my eyes, my evidence,
Judith Marie, unconditional one.

Daylight dims leaving cold fluorescence.
Difficult to see you in this light.
Please forgive this bold suggestion:
Should you see your maker's face tonight
Look him in the eye
Look him in the eye and tell him
I never lived a lie, never took a life,
But surely saved one
Hallelujah,
It's time for you to bring me home.

What an insane song. :O

Dead Kennedys, MTV get off the air XD.

Fun Fun Fun in the fluffy chair
Flame up the herb
Woof down the beer
[click!]
Hi
I'm your video DJ
I always talk like I'm wigged out on quaaludes
I wear a satin baseball jacket everywhere I go

My job is to help destroy
What's left of your imagination
By feeding you endless doses
Of sugar-coated mindless garbage

So don't create
Be sedate
Be a vegetable at home
And thwack on that dial
If we have our way even you will believe
This is the future of rock and roll

How far will you go
How low will you stoop
To tranquilize our minds with your sugar-coated swill

You've turned rock and roll rebellion
Into Pat Boone sedation
Making sure nothing's left to the imagination

M.T.V. Get off the
M.T.V. Get off the
M.T.V. Get off the air
Get off the air

See the latest rejects from the muppet show
Wag their t**s and their ****s
As they lip-synch on screen
There's something I don't like
About a band who always smiles
Another tax write-off
For some schmuck who doesn't care

M.T.V. Get off the air
And so it was
Our beloved corporate gods
Claimed they created rock video
Allowing it to sink as low in one year
As commercial TV has in 25
"It's the new frontier," they say
It's wide open, anything can happen
But you've got a lot of nerve
To call yourself a pioneer
When you're too god-damn conservative
To take real chances.

Tin-eared
Graph-paper brained accountants
Instead of music fans
Call all the shots at giant record companies now

The lowest common denominator rules
Forget honesty
Forget creativity
The dumbest buy the mostest
That's the name of the game

But sales are slumping
And no one will say why
Could it be they put out one too many lousy records?!?

M.T.V.-Get off the air!
NOW

Limp Bizkit - Break Stuff

Its just one of those days
When you don't wanna wake up
Everything is ****ed
Everybody sux
You don't really know why
But you want justify
Rippin' someone's head off
No human contact
And if you interact
Your life is on contract
Your best bet is to stay away mother****er
It's just one of those days!!

[chorus]
Its all about the he says she says bull****
I think you better quit
Lettin' **** slip
Or you'll be leavin with a fat lip
Its all about the he says she says bull****
I think you better quit talkin that ****
(Punk, so come and get it)


Its just one of those days
Feelin' like a freight train
First one to complain
Leaves with a blood stain
Damn right I'm a maniac
You better watch your back
Cuz I'm ****in' up your program
And if your stuck up
You just lucked up
Next in line to get ****ed up
Your best bet is to stay away mother****er
Its just one of those days!!

[chorus]
Its all about the he says she says bull****
I think you better quit
Lettin' **** slip
Or you'll be leavin with a fat lip
Its all about the he says she says bull****
I think you better quit talkin that ****
(Punk, so come and get it)


I feel like ****
My suggestion is to keep your distance cuz right now im dangerous
We've all felt like ****
And been treated like ****
All those mother****ers that want to step up
I hope you know I pack a chain saw
I'll skin your ass raw
And if my day keeps goin' this way I just might break somethin' tonight...
I hope you know I pack a chain saw
I'll skin your ass raw
And if my day keeps goin' this way I just might break somethin' tonight...
I hope you know I pack a chain saw
I'll skin your ass raw
And if my day keeps goin' this way I just might break your ****in' face tonight!!
Give me somethin' to break
Give me somethin' to break
Just give me somethin' to break
How bout your ****in' face
I hope you know I pack a chain saw, what!!...
A chain saw, what!!...
A mother****ing chain saw, what!!...
So come and get it

Tribal Ink. - Refugee

In fear i'm drowning
As my heart keeps pounding
Striking ones step
To hold on to what's left
Hold on, to the strings of reality
Bouncing on my heel of prosperity
Leave from my cell with a gleam in my eye
Question it all, with a smile watching it die
So hard to see it all fall through
But it's too late nothing left to do

Refugee, I'm an enemy of your belief
Don't hate me, because i disagree

Release me from a world unkind
A world where the blind is leading the blind
It's so unfair that i can't feel free
That i have to be what you want me to be
Shadows of the past keep stabbing my back
Reminding me of when i slipped out of track
Wasting their time and nothing more leave done
And time when the restless keeps on doing it

Refugee, I'm an enemy of your belief
Don't hate me, because i disagree
Refugee, I'm an enemy of your belief
Don't hate me, because i disagree

(Whaaaaaaaaaa!)
Refugee, I'm an enemy of your belief
Don't hate me, because i disagree
Refugee, I'm an enemy of your belief
Don't hate me, because i disagree

The Rare Ould Times - Originally by Pete St. John, but it's been covered a lot by bands like The Old Triangle and Flogging Molly.

-1-
Raised on songs and stories,
Heroes of renown,
The passing tales and glories
That once was Dublin Town.
The hallowed halls and houses,
The haunting childrens rhymes
That once was Dublin City
In the rare ould times.

Chorus
Ring a ring a rosey
As the light declines
I remember Dublin City
In the rare ould times.

-2-
My name it is Sean Dempsey,
As Dublin as can be
Born hard and late in Pimlico,
In a house that ceased to be.
By trade I was a cooper,
Lost out to redundancy.
Like my house that fell to progress,
My trade’s a memory.
And I courted Peggy Dignan,
As pretty as you please,
A rogue and child of Mary,
From the rebel Liberties.
I lost her to a student chap,
With skin as black as coal.
When he took her off to Birmingham,
She took away my soul.

Chorus

-3-
The years have made me bitter,
The gargle's dimmed me brain,
'Cause Dublin keeps on changing,
And nothing seems the same.
The Pillar and the Met. have gone,
The Royal long since pulled down,
As the grey unyielding concrete,
Makes a city of my town.

Chorus

-4-
Fare thee well sweet Anna Liffey,
I can no longer stay,
And watch the new glass cages,
That spring up along the Quay.
My mind's too full of memories,
Too old to hear new chimes,
I'm part of what was Dublin,
In the rare ould times.

Chorus

I searched every link Google gave me, yet I could not find the lyrics for Mac Dre's "Black Buck Rogers." It's strangely surreal sounding in a way I don't really understand myself.
