Favourite lyrics quote?

It's really great. Well most of Megadeth's lyrics are.

I'm the same, but when it comes to things like this, all the thoughts in my head just vanish and I'm left with nothing to talk about, haha.

Well I think all of us are collectors of great lyrics
But here is one from the Swedish band Abrunn. They do a mix of punk/genatalia rock.
Sorry it's in Swedish. I just think it's spot on. The song is called: Enligt tallriksmodellen

"Vi har fått höra vad som är lämpligt att vi gör när vi får göra vad vi vill"

"We have been told what is appropriate to do when we get to do what we want to do" (haha wow, in English it's just messy)

Recently I'm listening to that song a lot and these lyrics have a real meaning to me:

"A lonely light in a window
Just longing for some company
Tragic, heartless and hateful
But there's nothing as willing as she

And when the night has fallen
It falls hard and then it all begins
When she starts her calling
I feel my darkness growing from within

After everyone goes home
And I'm left here on my own
I will run straight to Hell and back

Straight to Hell and back

When they turn out all their lights
And I'm left to brood at night
Always return to Hell and back"

Metallica - Hell And Back

I... have to... post another Bowie quote....

"And the road is coming to its end
Now the damned have no time to make amends
No purse of token fortune stands in Our way
The silent guns of love
will blast the sky
We broke the ruptured structure built of age
Our weapons were the tongues of crying rage"

From the song Cygnet Committee. The line "The silent guns of love will blast the sky" gets me goosebumps every time.

I tried so long to avoid attraction, afraid it’s gonna hurt
I keep remembering what I learned from school, that romance is for fools.
So I just walk alone in my private cool

Casablanca - The Juggler

funny you post this. That song reminds me of you for some reason everytime I hear it.

Tragically it reminds me of myself too
I think most of us post lyrics that we can relate to. I mean, that is why they mean so much to us right? Although of course there are some lyrics that appeals to you simply because they are brilliant.

The wise man said just find your place
In the eye of the storm
Seek the roses along the way
Just beware of the thorns

Scorpions - Send me an angel
This one kinda reminds me of myself as well...

Sorry about the double-post.
This is lyrics that I think is simply beautiful...

Golden woven sunrays splash on our face
Honey coloured moonbeams tickle and trace
Bursting out of our skins, our hearts exploding
Escape from this life, we call this dancing

I would not give up on anyone except maybe me
I still hold on to a dream for you
I would like to see you turn around and find a deeper love
It must be rough now with all the bitterness washing over you
If pride is a crime then were all doing time
But a glimpse of home can sometimes bring us through
I will be waiting, waiting for you
I will be waiting all my days ~ I Will Be Waiting - Martyn Joseph

Probably not anyone's genre here, but still so beautiful

the whole text of D-A-D - Laugh n a Half
and Warrel Dane - Brother
and Porcupine Tree - Sentimental
and Czesław Niemen - Dziwny jest ten świat (polish)

"perfection of the skies
I knew and memories of my days
fade away beyond my reach
and change to lonely nights."
~ Amorphis - My Sun

"just when things went right
it doesn't mean they were always wrong
just take this song and you'll never feel
left all alone"

"my heart's like an open book
for the whole world to read"
~ Mötley Crüe - Home Sweet Home

"...if you need to believe in someone,
just pretend it's me
it ain't enough that we meet as strangers
I can't set you free
so will you turn your back forever on what you mean to me?"
~ Alan Parsons Project - Don't Answer Me

"shattered into a million brighter stars
each flare unique and rare
scattered across forever
out from creations core
an end beyond compare..."
~ Dark Tranquillity - Iridium

"tripped out on violence
put the trust in every word you say
but you fucked me over anyway
embrace the silence
'til you tell me where you were before
give it up, your twisted mind has lost the war"
~ Vains Of Jenna - Enemy in Me

"...there will be heartache
there will be rain and joy I can't explain
my precious little one explore your time"
~ Nevermore - The Blue Marble and The New Soul

and so on.. I have too many fave lyrics
if I remember any more I'll post them here

Ah, great quotes people!

"So dark...Im facing my destiny
As far as pleasure led my disciple was me
For ages I have been searching for my bride
Since she passed away grief became my guide


As darkness falls above
- It will be there for centuries
My mistress of sorrow she will hear my call

I sort of entered the other side...
When those words were called up to the sky

As darkness falls above
- It will be there for centuries
Mistress of sorrow, please hear my call

As darkness falls above
- It will be there for centuries
No mistress of sorrow ever heard my call

[dedicated to life]"
Dissection - Mistress Of the Bleeding Sorrow
It is really epic. And it's written in such a beautiful way. As Jon Nödtveidt also said "For a black heart may only find beauty in darkness"(From Dissection - Night's Blood).

Finally I can write about a song that I've been thinking about all day it's one of my absolute favourites when it comes to lyrics. Instead of posting the whole thing which no one has the patience to read anyways, I'll just post the best parts instead.

Wasn't life supposed to be more than this?
In this kiss, I'll change your bore for my bliss

It's your right to laugh at me
And in turn, that's my opportunity to feel brave

It drenched my fears of becoming like the others
Who become unhappy mothers
And fathers of unhappy kids
And why is that?
'Cause they've forgotten how to play
Or maybe they're afraid to feel ashamed
To seem strange, to seem insane
To gain weight, to seem gay
I tell you this:
That it takes a fool to remain sane

Miss Obscene wrote: That it takes a fool to remain sane

It Takes A Fool To Remain Sane - The Ark, right?

Indeed it is

Short but good.
"Du påbörjade tomhänt, består med mindre än så
Säg mig vännen min, är du nöjd?"
Translated
"You started empty-handen, Remain with less than that
Tell me friend of mine, are you pleased?"
Shining - I Och Med Insikt Du Skall Förgå

Awesome thread! Who doesn't love lyrics, especially when they are like magic

"When I find out all the reasons
Maybe I'll find another way
Find another day
With all the changing seasons of my life
Maybe I'll get it right next time
An now that you've been broken down
Got your head out of the clouds
You're back down on the ground
And you don't talk so loud
An you don't walk so proud
Any more, and what for?"

Band and song: You should know this

Oh great, that was my favorite song at twelve and the song still seems to fit my life. Little weird maybe... Do lyrics "grow with you" as well or do you cherish them because of the memories in the past?
