The most meaningful lyric to you...

CheersDarlin'

I'm looking for ideas for this art thing I'm doing with a mix of quotes and such... so what would you choose?

Pink Floyd - Time

Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain
You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun

Mike.

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

fast food rockers - fast food song

Does anyone fancy a shake?
Shake
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Shake it to the left - Shake it to the right - Let\'s shake
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

I think of you and lick my lips
You\'ve got the taste I can\'t resist
Can\'t resist - can\'t resist

mm..fast food

NoDayBut2Day

Goodness, there are *so* many lyrics that I like; it changes on a daily basis... haha.

The one I like right now is:

I feel like I never measure up to who you see
Sometimes I think I can't give you all the love you need
You keep changing everyday
Amazing me in everyway.

I never dreamed I could ever feel the way I do
I hope and pray I will always be enough for you
I can only do my best
I have to trust you with the rest

If I could be the perfect (one) in your eyes
I would give all I'm worth to be a part of your life
I could promise the world but it's out of my hands
I can only give you everything I have

"Everything I Have" - Clay Aiken

It really does change on a regular basis for me, but:

Daryl Palumbo in the song Convectuoso by Glassjaw wrote:

...And the words get smaller and smaller and we shake a lot of hands. And we fake so much shit; we fake so much shit that no-one understands. No-one fucking cares to understand; Who is the meat and who is the butcher. Who is the meat -- and who is the butcher. I am the butcher. I am the fucking butcher and you are not there. You are not there.
*Laughs maniacally throughout the next and final minute or so of the song*

You really have to see and hear him doing it live to 'get' it. It gets me every time though.

Pigman II

Yes sir, that's my baby
No sir, I don't mean maybe
Yes sir, that's my baby now

Get's me right there everytime!

Bard

The Darkness: Get Your Hands Off My Woman

You are drunk and surly
In Latino lover mode
We all know what's on your agenda
We've broken the code

I've got no right to lay claim to her frame
She's not my possession
You c**t.

Get your hands off my woman motherf**ker
Get your hands off my woman motherf**ker

Octoped, you've got six hands too many
And you can't keep them to yourself
You're too fat and too old to marry
So they left you on the shelf

I've got no right to lay claim to her frame
But you soiled my obsession
You c**t.

Get your hands off my woman motherf**ker
Get your hands off my woman motherf**ker
Get your hands off my woman motherf**ker
Get your hands off my woman motherf**ker
Ow!
Get your hands off my woman motherf**ker
Get your hands off my woman motherf**ker

Great!

I know they're not known for their lyrics but there's a line from "Don't Look Back In Anger" by Oasis that I've always liked.

"Gonna start a revolution from my bed"

Oh how I can relate to that line!

porn_star

there's loads, but mine's probably from A Perfect Circle's 3 Libras.
Can't really pick out a single line though or it doesn't work.

I threw you the obvious
and you flew with it on your back
a name
in your recollection
down among a million same

difficult not to feel a little bit
disappointed and passed over
when I look right through
I see you naked but oblivious

and you don't see me

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

here I am expecting just a little bit
too much from the wounded
but I see, see through it all
see through
see you

Has to be the following from Kasabian - Butcher Blues

"I'm a lonesome man
I wanna get stoned and trip some wires
I wanna get myself underground
I said that, you must believe me
When I say I'm fightin the dead
Lyin low across the evening
Can you see the lumps on my head?
But I got these voices that just keep
singin out

Sayin “I just cant stop losin control”
I said that “I just cant stop losin control”
“I just cant stop losin control”
I said that “I just cant stop losin control”"

Just because of a particular incident about a year and a half ago. I had just been released from hospital at around 4:30am where I'd spent the last 6 hours with my arms and legs restrained recieving head scans and being forcebly injected with sedatives against my will and questioned by two of An Garda Siochanas finest detectives in my conscious moments, after a pretty eventfull and head wrecking night and flagged down a taxi and just as I sat into the car this song came on on the radio and it just seemed to fit so well, I had to laugh, the lyrics have stuck with me since.

..

I looked away
then I look back at you,
You try to say
the things that you can't undo,
If I had my way
I'd never get over you,
Today's the day
I pray that we make it through.

Make it through the fall,
Make it through it all.

And I don't wanna fall to pieces
I just wanna sit and stare at you.
I don't wanna talk about it
And I don't want a conversation
I just wanna cry in front of you.
I don't wanna talk about it
'Cause I'm in love with you.

You're the only one
I'd be with till the end.
When I come undone
you bring me back again.
Back under the stars,
Back into your arms.

And I don't wanna fall to pieces
I just wanna sit and stare at you.
I don't wanna talk about it
And I don't want a conversation
I just wanna cry in front of you.
I don't wanna talk about it
'Cause I'm in love with you.

Wanna know who you are,
Wanna know where to start,
I wanna know what this means.

Wanna know how you feel,
Wanna know what is real.
I wanna know everything... Everything.

I don't wanna fall to pieces
I just wanna sit and stare at you.
I don't wanna talk about it
And I don't want a conversation
I just wanna cry in front of you.
I don't wanna talk about it.

And I don't wanna fall to pieces
I just wanna sit and stare at you.
I don't wanna talk about it
And I don't want a conversation
I just wanna cry in front of you.
and I don't wanna talk about it
'Cause I'm in love with you.
I'm in love with you,
'Cause I'm in love with you.
I'm in love with you,
I'm in love with you.

im_invisible

well i remember/ i remember, dont worry/ how could i ever forget,/ its the first time, the last time we ever met

obsession/ what you mean to me
obsession/ the way its meant to be
obsession/ your love will set me free
set me free
im lost, lost in a fantasy
only you, you can set me free

They could settle wars with this
If only they will imagine the worlds leaders on pills then imagine the mornin after
Wars causing disaster don't talk to me i don't know ya
But this aint tommorow and for now i still love ya

Then the girl in the cafe taps me on the shoulder
I realize five years went by I'm older
Memories smoulder winters colder
But that same piano loops over and over and over

I didnt know that it was over
'Til it was too late
But if I ever needed you
Would you be there

Zulu

Pink Floyd - Wish you were here

"Did they get you to trade your heros for ghosts, hot ashes for trees, hot air for a cool breeze....
...did you exchange a walk on part in a war for a lead role in a cage"

fillmore jive

And, everyone who ever had a heart
They wouldnt turn around and break it
And anyone who ever played a part
Oh wouldnt turn around and hate it!
-Velvet Underground

JC 2K3

"I know we can't stay here forever,
So I'm gonna write my words on the face of today,
And then they'll paint it"

Blind Melon - Change.

RIP Shannon Hoon, it's the first song he ever wrote and those lyrics are his epitah.

There's something I find fascinating about these incredibly misogynistic lyrics form the Stones:

Under My Thumb

Under my thumb
The girl who once had me down
Under my thumb
The girl who once pushed me around

Its down to me
The difference in the clothes she wears
Down to me, the change has come,
Shes under my thumb

Under my thumb
The squirmin dog whos just had her day
Under my thumb
A girl who has just changed her ways

Its down to me, yes it is
The way she does just what shes told
Down to me, the change has come
Shes under my thumb
Ah, ah, say its alright

Under my thumb
A siamese cat of a girl
Under my thumb
Shes the sweetest, hmmm, pet in the world

Under my thumb
Her eyes are just kept to herself
Under my thumb, well i
I can still look at someone else

Out of Time

You dont know whats going on
Youve been away for far too long
You cant come back and think you are still mine
Youre out of touch, my baby
My poor discarded baby
I said, baby, baby, baby, youre out of time

You thought you were a clever girl
Giving up your social whirl
But you cant come back and be the first in line, oh no
Youre obsolete my baby
My poor old-fashioned baby
I said baby, baby, baby youre out of time

Beetlebum

.....I remember when we could sleep on stones.....Now we lay together in whispers and moans.....

Kivun Sotilas

Mine would have to be something by Devil Doll such as:

IN ORDER TO CONQUER THE FUTURE: AND DESTROY IT!
I GO BACK -ONCE MORE- INTO THE ABYSS OF MY NOTHING.
YOU KNOW
THE DEAD HAVE THE VIRTUE OF LOOKING LIKE EACH OTHER.

LIFE
IS A STATE
OF MIND.

YES!.

but...

And you run, and you run to catch up with the sun, but it's sinking
Racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in a relative way, but you're older
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death

Every year is getting shorter
Never seem to find the time
Plans that either come to nought
Or half a page of scribbled lines

"If it makes you less sad, I will die by your hand
I hope you find out what you want, already know what I am
And if it makes you less sad, we'll start talking again
You can tell me how vile, already know that I am
I'll grow old, start acting my age, be a brand new day, in a life that you hate
A crown of gold, a heart that's harder than stone, and it hurts a whole lot,
But its missed when its gone" Brand New- The Boy Who Blocked His Own Shot.

Also "Don't apologise, I hope you choke and die"

Right now its gotta be Procal Harum's White Shade of Pale


We skipped the light fandango
Turned cartwheels 'cross the floor
I was feeling kinda seasick
But the crowd called out for more


Havent been well for the last couple of months and I was thinking bout this fro my grave stone

It has to be "I'm About To Come Alive" by Train

I can hear you downstairs crying on the phone
Telling someone that I'm here but you still feel all alone
Maybe we were too young
Goodbye, I've gotta go
I can hear the baby waking up
Got to get back to the life I know

I should have never believed him
Maybe I should just leave him

Maybe I'm not but you're all I got left to believe in
Don't give up on me
I'm about to come alive
And I know that it's been hard
And it's been a long time coming
Don't give up on me
I'm about to come alive

No one thought I was good enough for you
Except for you
Don't let them be right
After all that we've been through
'Cause somewhere over that rainbow
There's a place for me
A place with you

In every frame upon our wall
Lies a face that's seen it all
Through ups and downs and then more downs
We helped each other off of the ground
No one knows what we've been through
Making it ain't making it without you

trilo

No, not "baby" anymore- if I need you
I'll just use your simple name
Only kisses on the cheek from now on
And in a little while, we'll only have to wave
