If you're like me, you probabbly have books and books worth of lyrics you like for one reason or another. What are they? And why? I'll start with this one. It's by a Darkwave goth comedian who goes by the name Voltaire.

Well hello there little boy.
Don't be shy.
Step right up, I'm a reasonable guy.
Don't be frightened by the look in my eye.
I'm just your average evil meteor from outta the sky.
Well, I'm just shy and scared in this place
I'm just a fish outta water from outer space
You can see that the trip has left me tired and drained
So why don't you be a pal...

And bring me some BRAINS!

Go down to your neighbor's place
See the dull expression on his face
you'd be doing him a favor if you brought him to me
He aint using his brain he's just watching TV!
Go down to Mr. McGee's
He hasn't had a thought since '43.
His brain is the portrait of atrophy.
He ain't using it, why not give it to me?

BRAINS, BRAINS, I won't lie,
I'll eat their brains 'til they're zombified.
Sure they might think it's deranged
But they won't give it a thought
After I've eaten they’re brain.
BRAINS, BRAINS, It's okay.
It's not a matter if it isn't gray,
And if at first they think it's strange,
they won't think twice
If they don't have a brain!

Go down to the Wonton shop,
My fortune cookie says that I just can't stop
I suck the noodle right out of their heads
And half an hours later, I'm hungry again!
Creep into the donut stop
Sneak in tip-toe past the cop.
Pick me up a cruller and a cupful of tea.
And any other sweetbreads you happen to see.

BRAINS, BRAINS, I won't lie,
I'll eat their brains 'til they're zombified.
Sure they might think it's deranged
But they won't give it a thought
After I've eaten they’re brain.
BRAINS, BRAINS, It's okay.
It's not a matter if it isn't gray,
And if at first they think it's strange,
they won't think twice
If they don't have a brain!

Brains, Brains, I love em, I need um...
My tummy jumps for joy when I eat um.
Big ones, fat ones, short ones, tall ones,
They're so delectable, especially the small ones.
No time to cook em in a skillet.
My belly's rumblin', I got a need to fill it.
I don't fry em, the heat will only shrink em,
i'll just grab my self a straw and I drink em!!!(ohhhhhhh...)

You've been swell to go around
And bring me every single brain in town
But with all these brains, I can't help but think
That there isn't one left out there to drink.
Now Fess up boy, come on, Heck!
Is there someone that you're trying to protect?
Bring her down here to meet her end
And i promise I'll be your bestest friend.

BRAINS, BRAINS, I won't lie,
I'll eat her brain 'til she’s zombified.
Sure she might think it's deranged
But she won't give it a thought
After I've eaten her brain.

The song is from the cartoon "The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy." And while I find that show horrible and absolute trash, I grudgingly admit that I love that song. 'Kay, your turn. Ready, set, ... wait ... okay, GO!

Wow! That was aa weird lyric! Here are just a few of my favorites.
""Don't let the bastards grind you down" from Acrobat by U2
"Lord knows I've paid some dues gettin' through" from Tangled up in blue by Bob Dylan.
"Well, the God I believe in isn't short of cash Mister" from "bullet the Blue Sky" by U2 ( the live version off of Rattle and Hum).

great subject scotty, hears my song, well part of it anyways:

"I'm gonna bring home a duzzen roses,
and por us a glass of wine.
and I'm gonna put on a little music,
and tern down the lights.
and I'm gonna rap my arms around you,
And rock you all thrue the night.
And I'm gonna love you,
Like its the last day of my life." "

that was from the song My last day of my life, by Fill vasser.OMG that is an awsome love song!

again, thanks for the topic Scotty.

I like U-2. Can't say I've heard of yours Morgan. Looks good though. Real candlelit encounter of the whatever kind there.

My turn.
Acid Bath - Cheap Vodka
I blew my last five on a cheap fifth of vodka
Gonna kill somethin' and nothin's gonna stop us tonight
I know about confusion
Let's start a riot, let's start a war
Everybody that you know is a whore
Fuck it, fuck it, fuck it, fuck it, I don't care
If there's gonna be blood we'll be there
I know about confusion
Turn on all the lights so I can watch it die,
Gonna taste some blood before they close my eyes
'Cause I got the answer, one bullet
Check out the answer, one bullet
I know how you feel
Cut out my eyes so I can't see
This cold thing that's swallowing me
We're meat, and that's it
So let's fuck it, fuck it, fuck it
We're meat, and that's it
So let's fuck it, fuck it, fuck it, fuck it, fuck it
Fuck it, yeah

Post 5 by The Elemental Dragon (queen of dragons) on Wednesday, 13-Aug-2008 14:49:12

here's one of mine

Lacuna Coil - Angels Punishment

Destruction

War

To fight in defence
Forgotten words
of friendly hate

war - destruction
war - destruction

I don't know why
A soul deceased
A broken hope
A choking breeze

war - destruction
war - destruction

Can't you take me away from your lies?

Destruction

Dark paradise
Collecting souls
To analize

war - destruction
war - destruction

The bitter blood
of a children's cry
inside the truth
far from my sky

war - destruction
war - destruction

Can't you take me away from your lies?


and something a bit shorter, from Evanescence's tourniquet


my wounds cry for the grave
my soul cries for deliverance
will I be denied Christ
tourniquet
my suicide


from evanescence's My Last Breath


i'll miss the winter
a world of fragile things
look for me in the white forest
hiding in a hollow tree (come find me)
i know you hear me
i can taste it in your tears

holding my last breath
safe inside myself
are all my thoughts of you
sweet raptured light it ends here tonight



from Evanescence's Whisper:

Catch me as I fall
Say you're here and it's all over now
Speaking to the atmosphere
No one's here and I fall into myself
This truth drives me
Into madness
I know I can stop the pain
If I will it all away

[Chorus:]
Don't turn away
(Don't give in to the pain)
Don't try to hide
(Though they're screaming your name)
Don't close your eyes
(God knows what lies behind them)
Don't turn out the light
(Never sleep never die)

I'm frightened by what I see
But somehow I know
That there's much more to come
Immobilized by my fear
And soon to be
Blinded by tears
I can stop the pain
If I will it all away

[Chorus]

Fallen angels at my feet
Whispered voices at my ear
Death before my eyes
Lying next to me I fear
She beckons me
Shall I give in
Upon my end shall I begin
Forsaking all I've fallen for
I rise to meet the end




from Evanescence's Not the only one

Don't look down,
Don't look into the eyes of the world beneath you.
Don't look down, you'll fall down,
You'll become their sacrifice.

Right or wrong.
Can't hold onto the fear that I'm lost without you.
If I can't feel, I'm not mine,
I'm not real.



and that's it for now

One of my favorite song lyrics is Supernova by Fear Factory.

This ever changing world ever changing me
It feels new pathways for my soul to see
(soul to see)
It lights so bright, so bright in your eyes (your eyes)
Casting off the shadows that darken your mind

Shine it brighter than the sun blinding every eye I was
Fires burning inside me blinding lights for all to see
To shine brighter
To shine brighter

This storm will rage me to end before the dawn
This star is bright before the end is come
It lights so bright, so bright in your eyes
Casting off shadows that shrouded your (spoken) eyes

Shine it brighter than the sun blinding every eye I was
Fires burning inside me blinding lights for all to see
To shine brighter
To shine brighter
Supernova
Supernova
Supernova

An ever changing world ever changing me
An ever changing world ever changing me
This ever changing world ever changing me
It feels new pathways for my soul to see
Eternally

Shine it brighter than the sun blinding every eye I was
Fires burning inside me blinding lights for all to see
To shine brighter (than the sun)
To shine brighter (of what's to come)
To shine brighter (burning)
To shine brighter (burn)
To shine brighter (burning)
To shine brighter (burn)
Supernova
Supernova
Supernova

you know there's a lyrics board in grafiti rite?

Post 8 by metal angel (Help me, I'm stuck to my chair!) on Thursday, 09-Oct-2008 22:13:51

Here's myne contrabution. Storm the gates of hell by demon hunter!
Stand! Broken teeth, a shattered jaw, 10 to 1 behold my God!
Wicked sons of Heaven's loss, raise your own inverted cross.
Kings of earth, liars fast. Serve the sacrid you've dismissed.
Stand before your final day, choke on every line you've prayed.
Raise your glass to death, not one second left!
Wake the lifeless, die to fight this, stand beside me, storm the gates of hell!
Wake the lifeless, die to fight this, stand beside me, storm the gates of hell! Storm the gates of hell! Storm the gates of hell!
Killers heart, a serpant's tongue, stare and face what you've outrun.
Fear of death, fear of pain, bow to all you took invain.
No more cries, no regrets, severed ties and hollow debt.
Open lies, left to learn, apoint your blessings let them burn!
"Repeat course.
Hell hath no fury at all! (Repeats 5 times.)

Wow, I totally forgot about that. The last time I used grafiti was like a year ago.

Hmmm! My favourite lyrics? Loads to choose from, but Beverly Knight's "who's gonna save your soul." O, so powerful, very meaningful especially to me when I start thinking family thoughts, owing to the fact that boys are indeed the weaker sex especially in infancy, something my family knows all too well.
Here they are, for my Uncle whom I never knew and for my Grandmother's two cousins she barely knew and for my own twin cousins. They're all with the angels now.

Beverley Knight: Who's Gonna Save Your Soul

I have a photograph
Sometimes it makes me laugh
Till I cry
You with your auburn curls
Me with my smile
Right by your side
That was so long ago
You were just five years old
I recall
Feels like it's yesterday
Where does it go
When time slips away
What happened to
The boy I loved
The man I knew
When you hide in the dark
I can't find you

Who's gonna save your soul
Tonight
Who's gonna show you things
Will be alright
Who will love the ones
You left behind
Don't leave me behind

Last time I saw your face
You were too far away
To see me
Those pretty eyes I've known
All of my life
Somehow had changed
Sometimes the winds do blow
It's cruel that we have to reap
What we sow
Wherever it takes you to
Know in your heart
I'm thinking of you
Don't ever fear
Trust in me
I'll be here
If that bound ever breaks
Let me catch you

Who's gonna save your soul
Tonight
Who's gonna show you things
Will be alright
Who will love the ones
You left behind
Don't leave me behind

Jen.

Wow! That's powerful! I almost wanted to cry. (No joke)

Post 15 by CrystalSapphire (Uzuri uongo ndani) on Sunday, 15-Mar-2009 14:01:42

ok some of my favorite lyrics

And I'd give up forever to touch you
Cause I know that you feel me somehow
Your the closest to heaven that I'll ever be
And I don't want to go home right now

And all I can taste is this moment,
And all I can breathe is your life
Cause soon or later it's over
I just don't want to miss you tonight

And I don't want the world to see me
Cause I don't think they'd understand
When everything is made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
taken from iris by the goo goo dolls

All the waves crash and tide pulls out
It's an angry sea but there is no doutb
that the lighthouse will be shining now
to worn the lonely sailor
and lightning strikes and the wind cuts cold
through the sailor's bones to the sailor's soul
and there's nothing more than he can hold except for the rolling thunder
And I'm ready for the storm
Ready for the storm
Yes ready for the storm
taken from the cottars "ready for the storm"

Post 16 by Gacktsmiko (Newborn Zoner) on Wednesday, 18-Mar-2009 2:19:21

I love Gackt's music....this is a piece of one of my favorite songs:

kimi ga oikaketa yume nara
kizutsuku koto ni osorenai de
furueru yoru ni wa kimi o dakishimete ageyou
dakara
kanashisou na kao wa yamete
kimi no egao o miseteokure
dare yori suteki na boku no taisetsu na sono egao o

If it's the dream that you chased
Don't be afraid of getting hurt
On nights then you tremble, I'll hold you close
And so
Stop with that sad looking face
Let me see your smile
It's more wonderful and more precious to me than anything else, that smile

ok.
3 hours, nick drake.
Three hours from sundown
Jeremy flies
Hoping to keep
The sun from his eyes
East from the city
And down to the cave
In search of a master
In search of a slave

Three hours from London
Jacomo’s free
Taking his woes
Down to the sea
In search of a lifetime
To tell when he’s home
In search of a story
That’s never been known

Three hours from speaking
Everyone’s flown
Not wanting to be
Seen on their own
Three hours is needed
To leave from them all
Three hours to wonder
And three hours to fall

Three hours from sundown
Jeremy flies
Hoping to keep
The sun from his eyes
East from the city
And down to the cave
In search of a master
In search of a slave

vincent or starry starry night, don mclean.
Starry, starry night
Paint your palette blue and gray
Look out on a summer's day
With eyes that know the darkness in my soul
Shadows on the hills
Sketch the trees and the daffodils
Catch the breeze and the winter chills
In colors on the snowy linen land
Now I understand what you tried to say to me
And how you suffered for your sanity
How you tried to set them free
They would not listen, they did not know how
Perhaps they'll listen now
Starry, starry night
Flaming flowers that brightly blaze
Swirling clouds in violet haze
Reflect in Vincent's eyes of china blue
Colors changing hue
Morning fields of amber grain
Weathered faces lined in pain
Are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand
Now I understand what you tried to say to me
And how you suffered for your sanity
And how you tried to set them free
They would not listen, they did not know how
Perhaps they'll listen now
For they could not love you
But still your love was true
And when no hope was left inside
On that starry, starry night
You took your life as lovers often do
But I could have told you, Vincent
This world was never meant
For one as beautiful as you
Starry, starry night
Portraits hung in empty halls
Frameless heads on nameless walls
With eyes that watch the world and can't forget
Like the strangers that you've met
The ragged men in ragged clothes
A silver thorn, a bloody rose
Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow
Now I think I know what you tried to say to me
And how you suffered for your sanity
And how you tried to set them free
They would not listen, they're not listening still
Perhaps they never will...

Gosh, this thread is still here? Okay, I'll roll with that.

Acid Bath - Venus Blue

Creeping like frost, as slow as grave moss.
Like drowning in dryed oceans of bone dust.
I taste the wreckage of crumbling faces,
and I know the pale things in the darkest of places.

Chorus
I remember blood from the thighs of the mother,
as everything is eaten by another.
How much
more must we bleed her?
I cut
their throats while they slept.
And I ripped back my skull for you, yes I do.
Dead Venus blue.

If I even attempted to give them all away I'd be here for years! ol. Just suffice it to say that they come from bands like Seether, Nonpoint, PJ, Staind, NIN, The Cranberries, Eminem, etc.
