Discussion Favourite verse?

[fuckthis]

Your favourite verse from a song. It can be part of a verse and/or more than one song it doesn't matter. I have quite a few but I'll limit myself here to sound less uninteresting.

$B - Diemonds;
What I hate most in this life is a long night
4 walls and no calls and no lights but the moon light
Creeping through the blinds
Ceiling fan on high spinning
I'm beginning to believe that tonight is the night
Dead by dawn
I'll shred my palm to the end of my arm
I'm spread and gone
Embalmed
Put me in the dirt where I belong
Existence is overrated anyway
50 years later they won't remember your dead
6 billion people living as civilians and I hated them all
I should have been a vermillion reptilian living in the swamp
(At least I'd have scales to protect me from the pain)

 

[-OneLastWhiskey]

Life's a bitch and then you die that's why we get high.

 

[Aesthler]

Doris Day - Que será, será

When I was just a little girl
I asked my mother, what will I be
Will I be pretty
Will I be rich
Here's what she said to me

Que será, será
Whatever will be, will be
The future's not ours to see
Que será, será
What will be, will be

 

[Living_Ghost]

Radiohead
A heart that's full up like a landfill
A job that slowly kills you
Bruises that won't heal
You look so tired, unhappy
Bring down the government
They don't, they don't speak for us
I'll take a quiet life
A handshake of carbon monoxide
With no alarms and no surprises
No alarms and no surprises
No alarms and no surprises
Silent, silent
This is my final fit
My final bellyache
With no alarms and no surprises
No alarms…

 

[bunny]

when i get a little scared
of losing my teeth and losing my hair
you say, "don't be scared, my friend
death is a beginning, not an end"

 

[deathoverlife]

Life is a prison,
Oh God let me out.
No one to listen,
To hear when you shout.

Climb the walls of insanity,
Ride the waves of despair.
If you fall it don't matter,
There's no one to care.

Used to wish for a window,
To see birds, trees and sky,
But you're better without one -
Stops you aiming too high.

Watching freedom is painful,
For those locked away.
Seeing joy, love and happiness,
Another price that you pay.

Strong is good, weak is bad.
Be it false, be it true.
Your mind makes the choice,
And enforces it too.

Cell walls built by society,
With rules to adhere.
If you breach the acceptable,
You had better beware.

Hide the pain, carry on,
Routine is the key.
Don't let on that you're not,
What you're pretending to be.

Lock it all up inside you,
How badly that bodes.
Look out for that one day,
When it all just explodes.

"
When we were young the future was so bright
The old neighborhood was so alive
And every kid on the whole damn street
Was gonna make it big and not be beat
Now the neighborhood's cracked and torn
The kids are grown up but their lives are worn
How can one little street
Swallow so many lives
Chances thrown
Nothing's free
Longing for what used to be
Still it's hard
Hard to see
Fragile lives, shattered dreams
Jamie had a chance, well she really did
Instead she dropped out and had a couple of kids
Mark still lives at home cause he's got no job
He just plays guitar and smokes a lot of pot
Jay committed suicide
Brandon OD'd and died
What the hell is going on
The cruelest dream, reality
Chances thrown
Nothing's free
Longing for what used to be
Still it's hard
Hard to see
Fragile lives, shattered dreams
Chances thrown
Nothing's free
Longing for what used to be
Still it's hard
Hard to see
Fragile lives, shattered dreams"

 

[Schopenhauer]

Don't remember where I was
I realized life was a game
The more seriously I took things
The harder the rules became
I had no idea what it'd cost
My life passed before my eyes
I found out how little I accomplished
All my plans tonight
So as you read this know my friends
I'd love to stay with you all
Please smile when you think of me
My body's gone that's all

A tous le monde
A tous les amis
Je vous aime
Je dois partir
These are the last words
I'll ever speak
And they'll set me free

If my heart was still alive
I know it would surely break
And my memories left with you
There's nothing more to say
Moving on is a simple thing
What it leaves behind is hard
You know the sleeping feel no more pain
And the living are scarred

[Voldmort]

is the sonnet of the four seasons, the summer, a work of vivaldi. It's my favorite song, the presto (storm), and the verse of that part represents when all the problems fall on me, like a storm ...

Presto
Alas, his worst fears were justified, the heavens roar and great hailstones beat down upon the proudly standing corn.

In spite of this, the one that most represents me is the winter verse:

Allegro non molto
Shivering, frozen mid the frosty snow in biting, stinging winds;
running to and fro to stamp one's icy feet, teeth chattering in the bitter chill.

 

[lv-gras]

there is nothing left for me
need the end to set me free

-metallica fade to black

and some wagner, translation from google translate sorry

https://lyricstranslate.com/en/wie-duftet-doch-der-flieder-fliedermonolog-what-scent-lilacs.html

What does the lilac smell?
so mild, so strong and full!
It softens my limbs,
I want to say something.
What's the point, what can I tell you?
I'm a poor simple-minded man!
Should not I like the work,
go, friend, dear let me free:
And yet, it does not want to go:
I feel it and can not understand it,
can not keep it, - but also do not forget:
and if I grasp it completely, I can not measure it!
But how should I take it,
which seemed immeasurable to me.
No 'rule wanted to fit there,

Orchid Mantis - Reoccurring

empty houses and empty parking lots
i lost myself in something that was gone
floor collapses, walls decay
entire lives forgotten
and we don't stay the same

and you know
it's all of the time
you know
just what you'll find

things reoccurring
and i am certain
i know i won't feel this way again

you are bleeding into my daydreams
intruding quietly, i don't know what it means
if we collapse and memories decay
entire lives forgotten
can we just stay the same <3333333

Lately I am enjoying every verse of "Average Homeboy" by Denny Blazin' Hazen. For the uninitiated, Denny Hazen was a young man from Ohio who sent a demo video of his stuff to MTV in 1989, and this video is the result. I mean, no one said it had to be deep.

Reba McEntire - Consider me gone -

Everytime I turn the conversation to something deeper than the weather
I can feel you all but shuttin' down - And when I need an explanation for the silence
you just tell me you don't wanna talk about it now -
What you're not saying is coming in loud and clear, We're at a crossroads here...
If I'm not the one thing you can't stand to lose, If I'm not that arrow to the heart of you <3

If you don't get drunk on my kiss, If you think you can do better than this then, I guess
we're done - Let's not drag this out - Consider me gone
With you I've always been wide open, like a window or an ocean
there is nothing, I've ever tried to hide - So when you leave me not knowin'
where you're goin' I start thinkin' that we're lookin'
we're lookin' at goodbye..

How about a strong shot of honesty, don't you owe that to me...
If I'm not the one thing you can't stand to lose, If I'm not that arrow to the heart of you <3

If you don't get drunk on my kiss, If you think you can do better than this then, I guess
we're done - Let's not drag this on - Consider me gone..
Conside me a memory - Consider me the past -
Consider me a smile in an old photograph
someone who used to make you laugh -

If I'm not the one thing you can't stand to lose, if I'm not that arrow to the heart of you
Then I guess we're done, let's not drag this on - Consider me gone -
Consider me gone - Consider me gone - Just consider me gone...

 

[Nofaith]

It's a long walk back to reality,
She puts another brick in the wall of shame she made so long ago
Trying to figure out where things went wrong
Searching through all the lies she told.
Somehow she missed out on all the things that
She needed most
Days spent wondering why this life is so cold and
Nothing ever changes
Screaming for attention,
Watch the sun steal yesterday.
Hiding all emotion far away.

Trying to find his self confidence,
Another broken heart behind the painless smile that he shows.
Reminded that yesterday is so far gone
And tomorrow is still a miracle
Somehow he missed out on all the things he needed most.
Days spent wondering why this life is so cruel and
Nothing ever changes.
Tomorrow's still a miracle

 

[Nofaith]

The air is warm
I hear the wind and the trees
I know I'm there, but I'll never be
The wind is soft tonight, the tide is low
And I know the way
(I never felt better now)

Sometimes life, it moves too slow
Slows to a crawl, and then the poetry is lost
And without speed, hope becomes certainty
And for once I'm certain
(I never felt better now)

A garden is it's own perfect world
Where everything has a place
Every leaf, every stone, every speck of dirt
But where's my place?
I even tried to get arrested today
But everyone looked the other way
I count the hours, and I count the days
But for once I'm certain

Don't want your help
Don't need your help
Helpless

You found a way to make me say
Help me please someone

The water's clear
I see that it's full of dimes
For every wish, I wonder why
Why all I want is something beautiful
A place to rest
(I never felt better now)

Chromatics - Into The Black

My, my
Hey, hey
Rock & roll
Is here to stay
It's better to burn out
Than to fade away.
My, my,
Hey, hey

Out of the blue
And into the black
They give you this
But you pay for that
And once you're gone
You can never come back.
When you're
Out of the blue
And into the black.

The King is gone
But he's not forgotten
This is the story of Johnny Rotten
It's better to burn out than it is to rust.
The King is gone but he's not forgotten.

Linkin Park - Lost in the Echo

[Intro: Mike Shinoda]
Yeah, yo

[Verse 1: Mike Shinoda]
You were that foundation
Never gonna be another one, no
I followed, so taken
So conditioned, I could never let go

Then sorrow, then sickness
Then the shock when you flip it on me
So hollow, so vicious
So afraid, I couldn't let myself see

That I could never be held
Back or up, no, I hold myself
Check the rep, yep, you know mine well
Forget the rest, let them know my hell

There and back, yet my soul ain't sell
Kept respect up, the best they fell
Let the rest be the tale they tell
That I was there, saying...

[Chorus: Chester Bennington]
In these promises broken, deep below
Each word gets lost in the echo
So, one last lie I can see through
This time, I finally let you go, go, go

[Verse 2: Mike Shinoda]
Test my will, test my heart
Let me tell you how the odds gonna stack up
Y'all go hard, I go smart
How's that working out for y'all in the back, huh?

I've seen that frustration
Been crossed and lost and told no
And I've come back, unshaken
Let down and lived and let go

So, you can let it be known
I don't hold back, I hold my own
I can't be mapped, I can't be cloned
I can't C-flat, it ain't my tone

I can't fall back, I came too far
Hold myself up and love my scars
Let the bells ring wherever they are
'Cause I was there, saying...

[Chorus: Chester Bennington]
In these promises broken, deep below
Each word gets lost in the echo
So, one last lie I can see through
This time, I finally let you go

[Bridge: Mike Shinoda]
No, you can tell 'em all now
I don't back up, I don't back down
I don't fold up and I don't bow
I don't roll over, don't know how

I don't care where the enemies are
Can't be stopped, all I know, go hard
Won't forget how I got this far
For every time, saying...

[Chorus: Chester Bennington]
In these promises broken, deep below
Each word gets lost in the echo
So, one last lie I can see through
This time, I finally let you go
Go, go, go, go, go, go

 

[Made4TV]

I'm going straight to hell
Just like my mama said

 

[Lil_Intro_Vert]

Intricate I watched the world dance inside your head
Ephemeral everything created must expire
Misery losing hope for a dying world, or did we lose hope in ourselves, my ineffable?
Most nights we merge into one dream
You mouth that four word sundering soundless,
But somehow deafening, "I can't go on"
I'll strain my voice to make you relent, but the tide holds me in my dissent
We're bound to each other in the undertow
You were my ineffable

[Lizzie S.]

Even Shadows have Shadows by Eyedea & Abilities

I stand alone, burned every bridge over the troubled water
No longer hiding from my personality disorder
A stronger tide is coming, I've been running
Trying to function fine without my mind
Climbing out this fucking corner

I was born a thorn away from the rotten petals
A forgotten rebel
Wrapped in the absence of Heaven's heavy hands
To develop an evident level of benevolence
So it's probably better I sold my soul to the Devil
This is a message to anyone I've met that thinks they know me
Don't pretend to understand
None of the issues that I'm holding
I was in a rush to grow up, look, Mom – no cuts
Just a stomach in disgust, and the fear that I might go nuts
This year, if I don't slow up, I'll see you on my way
One day this shit'll kill me, but I guess that it's OK
I've lost all faith in a world so full of hate
And I don't fucking love music, I just use it to escape
I'm caught between wanting to punch someone in the face
And putting a bullet in my head to leave the human race
Everything takes its toll, but there's no tolls I can take
I haven't yet found a good reason to be awake
Introducing the corroded bones I hide behind my smile
I'm angry at the Universe for the way she treats me now
It keeps me down, stealing all my energy
I'm feeling like my enemy, concealing my identity
Not dealing with my tendencies
I peel the skin and then I squeeze
The real imprinted Hansen's disease
Not healing in this century
I'm kneeling to the entity
Who built this penitentiary's as filthy as a centipede
And guiltless in a sense, 'cause he
Was willing to just let me bleed while I wore a game face
In 10 years, don't check for me, I'll be in the same place
This planet's just an overpopulated mental hospital
Each zombie walking round constitutes another obstacle
So here it is, I'm finally coming out my shell
All 19 years of my life have been in conflict with myself
I'm insecure about every facet of my existence
From my addictions to the condition I choose to live in
Who you kiddin'? I suffer from excess anxiety
A product of pollution in American society
Stare into my eyes and see the hell that burns inside my mind
And I no longer have an ego I can hide behind
But I've been fine disregarding my insanity
Every form of art isolates you from humanity
But it's provoked against being force fed
So fuck education for a decade and three years
Of headaches from my peers
'Cause now I realize I could have learned more on my own
They taught me how to know everything except my soul
Which is everything I need to grow
Everything that keeps me whole
Everything that ever meant anything to Eyedea, so
I leap with golden hope to rip the leash that holds my focus
But the fact remains the same, I'm still bound by chains
It doesn't matter if your chain is 10 feet or 100 feet
The fact remains the same, you're still bound by chains
Some people say I've changed and it's harder to relate to me
Good! I never liked you; our friendship was make-believe
I'm peeling the mask back and
Revealing the rap that's been filling my organs
Drilling short distorted portions
Of morbid masochistic torture that unfortunately crafted
An interest to orbit my portrait
And inflict my image with disorder
The minutes get shorter, walls start to close in
Feels like the brain is hanging on by one clothespin
I've hidden in the darkness for too long
I make it look alright, but on the inside it's so wrong
I want life to change, but I don't know if it can
For a man or machine or whatever the fuck I am

I stand alone, burned every bridge over the troubled water
No longer hiding from my personality disorder
You want to die my life
Well, come and stay in madness's favorite little corner

'Cause even Shadows have Shadows
And my secrets are eating me
Eagerly feeding to scream my dreams away
But they keep on defeating me
(Even shadows have shadows)
Welcome to the dusty subconscious of an actor
Who murdered his childhood to stop the audience's laughter
(Even shadows have shadows)
How am I to break free from my fears
When I don't like what I see and I can't feel what I hear?
(Even shadows have shadows)
So don't judge my book by its cover
'Cause my story's just as fucked up as any other

 

[Dog Food]

Shed no tears by Flipper
Shed no tears for the suicide
He has made his choice, the pain of life is great
And some will find it sweet to rot beneath the earth
As we rot and live and breathe
