Maybe it reminds you of special moments... Maybe it makes you cry... Maybe it makes you laugh... Maybe it's about your dream... Maybe it simply reflects yourself...

Well, in case of me, here it is (although Inge is not as fanatical about this song as I am, I persist on thinking that the lyric simply reflects us.)


Ultra Nate - Free

where did we go wrong
where did we lose our faith
my brother is in need
but can he depend on me
do you think if one of you tried
maybe you could find
a better friend than any other
if you gave more than you took
life could be so good
come on and try
now's the time

'cause you're free
to do what you want to do
you've got to live your life
do what you want to do

do what you want
do what you want to do

are we all strangers
does anyone really care
deep down we're all the same
trying to hide our pain
you think you can never trust another
'cause they're all out to get ya
we have to live in this world together
if we open up our hearts
love can finally start
come on and try
now's the time

'cause you're free
to do what you want to do
you've got to live your life
do what you want to do

when you're down and you're
feeling bad
everybody has left you sad
feels like no one will pull you through
it's your life whatcha gonna do
make that change let's start today
get outta bed get on your way
don't be scared your dream's right there
you want it reach for it

'cause you're free
to do what you want to do
you've got to live your life
do what you want to do

do what you want
do what you want to do

I fell in love with Evan & Jaron's "The Distance" lyrics (acoustic version only!!!) and Jason Wade's rendition of "You Belong to me" very nostalgic.

Golden Slumbers, Paul McCartney.

I don't have a favourite song lyric per se, but I have lots of favourites.

I could remind you of my really favourite ones, but since most of my fave bands are very very underground, I'll say that among my favourite lyrics are the entire Animals album by Pink Floyd. Particularly "Dogs."

Do you guys mind posting the lyrics?

Here's one of my favourites:

Veteran of a Psychic Wars by Blue Oyster Cult
You see me now a veteran of a thousand psychic wars
I've been living on the edge so long, where the winds of limbo roar
And I'm young enough to look at, and far too old to see
All the scars are on the inside
I'm not sure that there's anything left of me

Don't let these shakes go on, it's time we had a break from it
It's time we had some leave
We've been living in the flames
We've been eating up our brains
Oh please, don't let these shakes go on.

You ask me why I'm weary, why I can't speak to you
You blame me for my silence, say it's time I changed and grew
But the war's still going on, dear, and there's nowhen that I know
And I can't stand forever
I can't say if we're ever gonna be free

Don't let these shakes go on, it's time we had a break from it
It's time we had some leave
We've been living in the flames
We've been eating up our brains
Oh please, don't let these shakes go on.

You see me now a veteran of a thousand psychic wars
My energy is spent at last, and my armor is destroyed
I have used up all my weapons, and I'm helpless and bereaved
Wounds are all I'm made of
Did I hear you say that this is victory?

Don't let these shakes go on, it's time we had a break from it
Send me to the rear
Where the tides of madness swell
And men sliding into hell
Oh please, don't let these shakes go on.

Tool - Aenema

Some say the end is near.
Some say we'll see armageddon soon.
I certainly hope we will.
I sure could use a vacation from this
Bullshit three ring circus sideshow of
Freaks

Here in this hopeless fucking hole we call LA
The only way to fix it is to flush it all away.
Any fucking time. Any fucking day.
Learn to swim I'll see you down in Arizona bay.

Fret for your figure and
Fret for your latte and
Fret for your hairpiece and
Fret for your lawsuit and
Fret for your prozac and
Fret for your pilot and
Fret for your contract and
Fret for your car.

It's a
Bullshit three ring circus sideshow of
Freaks

Here in this hopeless fucking hole we call LA
The only way to fix it is to flush it all away.
Any fucking time. Any fucking day.
Learn to swim, I'll see you down in Arizona bay.

Some say a comet will fall from the sky.
Followed by meteor showers and tidal waves.
Followed by faultlines that cannot sit still.
Followed by millions of dumbfounded dipshits.

Some say the end is near.
Some say we'll see armageddon soon.
I certainly hope we will cuz
I sure could use a vacation from this

Silly shit, stupid shit...

One great big festering neon distraction,
I've a suggestion to keep you all occupied.

Learn to swim.

Mom's gonna fix it all soon.
Mom's comin' round to put it back the way it ought to be.

Learn to swim.

Fuck L Ron Hubbard and
Fuck all his clones.
Fuck all those gun-toting
Hip gangster wannabes.

Learn to swim.

Fuck retro anything.
Fuck your tattoos.
Fuck all you junkies and
Fuck your short memory.

Learn to swim.

Fuck smiley glad-hands
With hidden agendas.
Fuck these dysfunctional,
Insecure actresses.

Learn to swim.

Cuz I'm praying for rain
And I'm praying for tidal waves
I wanna see the ground give way.
I wanna watch it all go down.
Mom please flush it all away.
I wanna watch it go right in and down.
I wanna watch it go right in.
Watch you flush it all away.

Time to bring it down again.
Don't just call me pessimist.
Try and read between the lines.

I can't imagine why you wouldn't
Welcome any change, my friend.

I wanna see it all come down.
suck it down.
flush it down.

My fave song in the world...

someone make me proud by saying what it is...

Falling victim from neglect
Designed thoughts and intellect
Forgotten and displaced
The crux of my dismay
I feel nothing
I am nothing
I feel nothing
Nothing
Hoow deep I descend?
Until I reach my end?
How deep I descend?
Deeper into this abyss
Weighted down and sinking fast
Life did not offer me
More than false destiny
I feel nothing
I am nothing
I feel nothing
Nothing
How deep I descend?
Until I Reach my end?
How deep I descend?
I am nothing
I feel nothing
I am nothing
I feel nothing
Nothing
Nothing...
How deep I descend?
Until I reach my end?
How deep I descend?

Beck - Loser

In the time of chimpanzees I was a monkey,
butane in my veins so I'm out to get the junkie
with the plastic eyeballs, spraypaint the vegetables,
dog food stalls with the beefcake pantyhose,
kill the headlights and put it in neutral,
stockcar flaming with a loser in the cruise control,
baby's in Reno with the vitamin D,
got a couple of couches, sleep on the love seat,
someone came sayin' I'm a saint (I'm insane)
to complain about
a shotgun wedding and a stain on my shirt,
don't believe everything that you breathe,
you get a parking violation and a maggot on your sleeve,
so shave your face with some mace in the dark,
saving all your food stamps for burning down the trailer park,

yo, cut it
Soy un perdedor, I'm a loser baby so why don't you kill me,
double barrel buckshot,
Soy un perdedor, I'm a loser baby so why don't you kill me,

forces of evil on a bozo nightmare,
ban all the music with a phony gas chamber
cause one's got a weasel and others got a flag,
one's on the pole, shove the other in the bag,
with the rerun shows and cocaine nose job,
the daytime crap of the folk singers slop,
he hung himself with a guitar string,
a slab of turkey neck and it's hangin' from a pigeon wing,
I can't write if ya' can't relate,
trade the cash for the beef for the body for the hate,
and my time is a piece of wax, fallen on a termite,
who's chokin' on the splinters

Soy un perdedor, I'm a loser baby so why don't you kill me
get crazy with the cheez-wiz,
Soy un perdedor, I'm a loser baby so why don't you kill me
drive, by, body pierce
yo bring it on down

Nine Inch Nails - Hurt

I hurt myself today
To see if I still feel
I focus on the pain
The only thing that's real
The needle tears a hole
The old familiar sting
Try to kill it all away
But I remember everything

What have I become?
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know
Goes away in the end
You could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt

I wear this crown of shit
Upon my liar's chair
Full of broken thoughts
I cannot repair
Beneath the stain of time
The feeling disappears
You are someone else
I am still right here

What have I become?
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know
Goes away in the end
You could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt

If I could start again
A million miles away
I would keep myself
I would find a way

Civil War - Guns N' Roses

"What we've got here is failure to
communicate.
Some men you just can't reach...
So, you get what we had here last week,
which is the way he wants it!
Well, he gets it!
N' I don't like it any more than you men." *

Look at your young men fighting
Look at your women crying
Look at your young men dying
The way they've always done before

Look at the hate we're breeding
Look at the fear we're feeding
Look at the lives we're leading
The way we've always done before

My hands are tied
The billions shift from side to side
And the wars go on with brainwashed pride
For the love of God and our human rights
And all these things are swept aside
By bloody hands time can't deny
And are washed away by your genocide
And history hides the lies of our civil wars

D'you wear a black armband
When they shot the man
Who said "Peace could last forever"
And in my first memories
They shot Kennedy
I went numb when I learned to see
So I never fell for Vietnam
We got the wall of D.C. to remind us all
That you can't trust freedom
When it's not in your hands
When everybody's fightin'
For their promised land

And
I don't need your civil war
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor
Your power hungry sellin' soldiers
In a human grocery store
Ain't that fresh
I don't need your civil war

Look at the shoes your filling
Look at the blood we're spilling
Look at the world we're killing
The way we've always done before
Look in the doubt we've wallowed
Look at the leaders we've followed
Look at the lies we've swallowed
And I don't want to hear no more

My hands are tied
For all I've seen has changed my mind
But still the wars go on as the years go by
With no love of God or human rights
'Cause all these dreams are swept aside
By bloody hands of the hypnotized
Who carry the cross of homicide
And history bears the scars of our civil wars

"WE PRACTICE SELECTIVE ANNIHILATION OF
MAYORS AND GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS
FOR EXAMPLE TO CREATE A VACUUM
THEN WE FILL THAT VACUUM
AS POPULAR WAR ADVANCES
PEACE IS CLOSER" **

I don't need your civil war
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor
Your power hungry sellin' soldiers
In a human grocery store
Ain't that fresh
And I don't need your civil war
I don't need your civil war
I don't need your civil war
Your power hungry sellin' soldiers
In a human grocery store
Ain't that fresh
I don't need your civil war
I don't need one more war

I don't need one more war
Whaz so civil 'bout war anyway

Sigh...

Fuck the Goddamn World - Regurgitator.

woke up the other morn
it was a perfect day
picked up the news paper checked the front page
what it'd say.. 10 new wars today
no cause for dismay
generally ok
hip hooray...
dragged on my kit gautier
recycled plastic handmade yesterday
my face paled assailed by the tales of decay
enthralled by the worldwide hop to the fray
next page..
things a getting better all the way
another tanker blew it's load in the bay
hey great..
what you'd call a small way lay
just a couple hundred ton of crude on display..
greasy.. time to move on no delay
gimme the next headline just a byline away
new plague..
somethin bout the coming of aids
airborn.. now we got some trouble goin on..
get down hell fuck the goddamn world
ooee.. fixed myself a hot cup of tea
sat back and relaxed clicked on the tv
whatd you see.. popstars raw derriere
shake the shit bare waxed legs in the air
mondieu
bluffin with the t and a fair
aint nothin but a half baked muffin affair
the say sex sells when you got shit to say
o fuck please miss k put yo vag away
porfane.. pop the damn dial make it change
from the pure purile to the plainly inane
insane.. now i'm goinig outta my brain
from the b grade pain that i fail to refrain
it's the anthropological
fly on the cubicle wall
with the universal casting call for all
the line between the real and the wrong
all gone..
now we got some trouble goin on..
here we go.. knocked on my clock radio
so i could get my piece of the say so
first row.. tickets to the blow by blow
stereo.. mmm.. that show the shit flow
explode.. just another eye for eye
let you know.. whose god is booking the flights
only one thing holely about a holy war
and that's the bullet - ridden bodies on the killin floor
but the wall street booms and everyone's paid
cept the child who made my shoes for a dollar a day
i'm afraid..
big biz has got your government played
democracy rotten on a mad cow strain
fast food chains have been feeding us brains
and remains cutting costs still the name of the game
hate to rain on your parade but now the hunter is the prey
new dawn.. now we got some trouble goin on

Eh, depends on my mood. Usually, however, I am partial to Cracked Actor or All the Young Dudes, good song those!

Nine Inch Nails-Ruiner

the ruiner's got a lot to prove he's got nothing to lose and now
he'll make you believe the ruiner's your only friend he's the living end to the cattle he deceives
the raping of the innocent, the ruiner ruins everything he sees
now the only pure thing left in my fucking world is wearing your disease

I fucking love that last line...

Slipknot-Wait & Bleed

I felt the hate(sounds like 'air') rise up in me, kneel down and clear the stone of leaves, I wander out where you can't see inside my shell I wait and bleed

Reminds me of my good ol' teenage angst days...just sit there with my arms cut and bitterly cursing my existence and the world I live in. (I'm better now )

A Perfect Circle-3 Libras

I threw you the obvious, just to see if there's more behind the eyes of a fallen angel, eyes of a tragedy

Reminds me of a friend of mine who I had a crush on, and told her of it. She was very aware of it, but just didn't feel that way for me. She says others tell her that song also reminds them of her.

Nine Inch Nails-Burn

this world rejects me this world threw me away this world never gave me a chance this world gonna have to pay...
I'm gonna burn this whole...world...dooowwwnnn

Classic song of anti-everything angst.

Rye: Fear Factory's Descend from the Obsolete album. I'm partial to "Edgecrusher" myself: "Survival in a twisted world where nothing is sacred!"

Hmm.....one that's always had a place in my heart....

Metallica - The Unforgiven

TOOL Pushit:

I will choke until I swallow...
Choke this infant here before me.
What is this but my reflection?
Who am I to judge and strike you down?

But you're
Pushing and shoving me.
You still love me and you pushit on me.

Rest your trigger on my finger,
bang my head upon the fault line.
Take care not to make me enter.
'cause if I do we both may disappear.

But you're pushing me,
Shoving me. Pushit on me.

Slipping back into the gap again.
I'm alive when you're touching me,
Alive when you're shoving me down.

But i'd trade it all
For just a little bit of
Piece of mind.

Put me somewhere I don't wanna be.
Seeing someplace I don't wanna see.
Never wanna see that place again.

Saw that gap again today
As you were begging me to stay.
Managed to push myself away,
And you, as well.

If, when I say I may fade like a sigh if I stay,
You minimize my movement anyway,
I must persuade you another way.

There's no love in fear.

Staring down the hole again.
Hands upon my back again.
Survival is my only friend.
Terrified of what may come.

Just remember I will always love you,
Even as I tear your fucking throat away.
But it will end no other way.

1. Angels Holocaust

As I walk through the blackened forest
Thoughts of hate and anger fill my soul
The charred remains of the holy rollers
Scream repentance though it's far too late

I fight back the laughter at what I see
The suffering healers false destined prophecy

He didn't think yesterday of the end of his life
The brainwashed fools born again of a thousand lies

Hate filled screams break the silence
Terrifying dreams filling up your head
Blasphemy thrusting out, in the masses it reigns
The mask of hypocrisy is slowly unveiled

Fear the angels holocaust, they're screaming
Dreams of pain forever entering your head
Death and hatred loathing, on mankind it feeds
Earth is dead and gone now, we've brought it to an end

For the last time I've been betrayed
Never again will I subject myself to this hypocrisy
Something is drawing me to the other side
Only time will tell my true destiny

Travel In Stygian

Through the flames I watch
As you plead on your knees
The reaper awaits

The ride that you take
Through the lake, lake of flames
Will decide your fate

Was all of it worth eternal pain
The path you chose to live in vain
The river Styx is calling your number
The hot winds of Hell breathe your name

On the night that it came to me
It was like nothing I'd ever seen
A vision darker than death itself
A violent cloud straight from the depths of hell
And that's when I saw my destiny
As it approached I was frozen still
I couldn't move, couldn't scream for help
Out of the darkness it reached for me
And that's when it planted the evil seed
And that's when I saw my destiny

Travel in Stygian
The damned scream my name
Travel in Stygian
I can't repent it's too late
Travel in Stygian
Hot winds blow upon me
Travel in Stygian
No remorse it's too late


The henchman awaits you
Yes that's right, step aboard
We have a very long journey
You owe us
You got what you wanted
In your mortal life
Now your soul is in our grasp
It's time

Riding on the hot winds of hell
Traveling down in the ship of pain
I chose this fate no turning back
The river Styx has called for me.

Bal-Sagoth - Return to the Praesidium of Ys:

I was spawned deep beneath the Pre-Cambrian sea, the scion of a far distant sun...
I have traversed the endless stars, and journeyed to a myriad galaxies...
The dimensional gates of the multiverse are mine to voyage effortlessly beyond,
Cosmic infinity is naught to one such as I... I am as one with celestial eternity...
Clad in gleaming pentlandite armour, on a whim I may reshape entire worlds,
Or extinguish the blazing light of a sun... and I remain forever enchanted by sylphs...

I have seen demons lick your ivory hands,
And watched you ride naked upon the backs of fire-dragons...
Your eyes sparkle clear as hoar-frost,
And yet they are thrice as devoid of warmth.

Wielding this power cosmic, the omniverse is mine to conquer! I am a god!
The Empire awaits! Kneel to me!

Wielding this power cosmic, the omniverse is mine to conquer! I am a god!
The Empire awaits! Yield to me!

Arcane power lances from my fingertips,
Life withers 'fore my baleful gaze.
The proud citadels of great (antediluvian) empires
Have been razed to the ground by my zircon blade.

The Empire awaits! Yield to me!
Our progeny shall rule the very cosmos itself!

Arcane power lances from my fingertips,
Life withers 'fore my baleful gaze.
The proud citadels of great (antediluvian) empires
Have been razed to the ground by my zircon blade.

Your invocations unleashed the great wyrm,
which compelled the devouring seas to Atlantis...
Riding the screaming crest of fettered ions,
I shall bring my crystalline chaos where order reigns!

Return with me... beyond the stars...
Rule with me... a thousand worlds...

Return with me... beyond the stars...
Rule with me... a thousand worlds...

Return with me... beyond the stars...
Rule with me... a thousand worlds...

The Galactic Nexus has empowered me (I am gloriously, eternally omnipotent!)
And as a god, I shall return to the Praesidium of Ys!

(there's also some unintelligible pseudo-occult incantations used liberally in the song, those are a trademark of Bal-Sagoth)

As for other entertaining Bal-Sagoth lyrics, there's always the first words uttered in The 13 Cryptical Prophecies of Mu:
"This is the end of your world! I shall rewrite all creation in my image!"

Black Sabbath wrote:Everybody's looking at me, feeling paranoid inside
When I step outside I feel free, think I'll find a place to hide
Tell me people, am I going insane?
Tell me people, am I going insane?

Every day I sit and wonder how my life it used to be
Now I feel like going under, now my life is hard to see
So tell me people, am I going insane?
Tell me people, am I going insane?

So I'm telling all you people, listen while I sing again
If I don't sound very cheerful, I think that I'm a schizo brain
So tell me people, am I going insane?
Tell me people, am I going insane?

Iron Maiden - The Number Of The Beast wrote:I left alone my mind was blank
I needed time to get the memories from my mind

What did I see can I believe that what I saw
that night was real and not just fantasy

Just what I saw in my old dreams were they
reflections of my warped mind staring back at me

Cos in my dreams it's always there the evil face that twists my mind
and brings me to despair

The night was black was no use holding back
Cos I just had to see was someone watching me
In the mist dark figures move and twist
was all this for real or some kind of hell
666 the Number of the Beast
Hell and fire was spawned to be released

Torches blazed and sacred chants were praised
as they start to cry hands held to the sky
In the night the fires burning bright
the ritual has begun Satan's work is done
666 the Number of the Beast
Sacrifice is going on tonight

This can't go on I must inform the law
Can this still be real or some crazy dream
but I feel drawn towards the evil chanting hordes
they seem to mesmerise me...can't avoid their eyes
666 the Number of the Beast
666 the one for you and me

I'm coming back I will return
And I'll possess your body and I'll make you burn
I have the fire I have the force
I have the power to make my evil take its course

[quote="Greatful Dead, Must Have Been the Roses"
Annie layed her head down in the roses
She had ribbons, ribbons, ribbons
in her long brown hair
I don't know, it must have been the roses
All I know is I could not leave her there


I don't know, it must have been the roses
The roses or the ribbons in her long brown hair
I don't know maybe it was the roses
All I know was I could not leave her there


Ten years the waves rolled the
ships home from the sea
Thinking well how it may blow
in all good company
if I tell another what
your own lips told to me
may I lay neath the roses
and my eyes no longer see


I don't know, it must have been the roses
The roses or the ribbons in her long brown hair
I don't know maybe it was the roses
All I know was I could not leave her there


One pane of glass in the window
No one is complaining though,
come in and shut the door
Faded is the crimson from the
ribbons that she wore
and it's strange how no one
comes round anymore


I don't know, it must have been the roses
The roses or the ribbons in her long brown hair
I don't know maybe it was the roses
All I know was I could not leave her there

She moved through the fair(e), Irish Traditional wrote: My love said to me
My Mother won't mind
And me Father won't slight you
For your lack of kind
Then she stepped away from me
And this she did say
It will not be long love
Till our wedding day


She stepped away from me
And she moved through the fair
And fondly I watched her
Move here and move there
And she went her way homeward
With one star awake
As the swans in the evening
Move over the lake


The people were saying
No two e'er were wed
But one has a sorrowThat never has a sorrow
That never was said
And she smiled as she passed me
With her goods and her gear


And that was the last
That I saw of my dear.


I dreamed it last night
That my true love came in
So softly she entered
Her feet made mo din
she came close beside me
And this she did say
It would not be long love
Till our wedding day.

Eve of Destruction
by Screaming Jets

Written about the Vietnam War.

The eastern world
It is explodin'
Violence flaring, bullets loading
You're old enough to kill
But not for votin'
You don't believe in war
Then what's that gun you're totin'
When even the Jordan River has bodies floating

But you tell me
Over and over and over again my friend
You don't believe we're on
The Eve of Destruction

Don't you understand what I'm tryin' to say
Can't you feel the fear that I feel today
If the button i's pushed there's no running away
There'll be no one to save
With the world in a grave
Take a look around you boy
It's bound to scare you boy

But you tell me
Over and over and over again my friend
You don't believe we're on
The Eve of Destruction

My blood's so mad
Feels like coagulating
And I'm just sitting here
Contemplating
I can't change the truth
It has no regulation
A handful of senators
Won't pass legislation
And marchers alone
Can't bring integration
When human respect
Is disintegrating
This whole damn world
Is too frustrating

But you tell me
Over and over and over again my friend
You don't believe we're on
The Eve of Destruction

Think of all the hate
There is in Red China
Then take a look around
To Selma, Alabama
You might leave here
For four days in space
But when you return
It's the same bloody place
The beating of the drums
And the pride and discgrace
You can bury yout dead
But don't hleave a trace
And hate your next-door-neighbor
But don't forget to say grace

But you tell me
Over and over and over again my friend
You don't believe we're on
The Eve of Destruction

Yeah, you don't believe we're on
The Eve of Destruction
