Favourite Lyrics...

FelixJaeger · 05-12-2003, 04:42 PM

Been listening to a lot of music recently, a lot more than normal(which is a LOT) and I was thinking how music has an effect on people especially those with really meaningful and powerful lyrics and stuff...
So what are yours? I dunno if it would be appropriate to post all the lyrics or just the title or a link to the lyrics...dont wanna make any mods mad at me.
I'm not sure of my own yet...but i'll think about it and get back to ya.

I find differant bands and their lyrics entertaining and inspiring.

The three bands/artists that I want to highlight are Creed, D12/Eminem and Tenacious D.

Tenacious D because their lyrics are so damn funny, nonsencical and... its the way they that they bring it together with their music that I find the most impressive.

Creed because they speak out against many of the problems todays society is faced with and talk about other issues, they may be a little bit too heavy with "spreading the word of God" theme in some of their songs but usually their tunes are stuff that gets you riled up about something, sad about another aspect of life and happy with yet another part of life. An underrated ban IMO.

D12/Eminem because they're lyrics are reality. Ok, maybe thats a slight exaggeration but despite the fact that they are often targeted by various organisations for spreading certain unsuitable messages to kids around the world they don't appriciate the fact that D12 are reflecting real life in their lyrics. Like they say, they're trying to convey an image of what life is really like..."Whats the point in sugarcoating it and pretending it's gonna go away?" they ask. I agree,their unique style of protest against these issues is why I am a fan of their lyrics and songs.

Is this the sort of thing you want in your thread Felix?

Yeh thats great Siggy,
I would like some things like that but also some examples would be good, but I guess your way would mean less hassle.
Good idea man,
I still haven't thoguth of my favourites yet...theres quite a few, i'll probably explain tomorrow as i'm too tired tonight...

Well I'm not sure how I can explain this, but alot of Christian bands I listen to I can relate certain things. I'm really not sure how to explain this , but I can try. Meh I won't try at all. But the lyrics of lots of songs get through to me, like Creed's song "Signs" or "With Arms Wide Open." I listen to sad,Christian, and humorous(Like Weird Al or Tenacious D, [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img] ) when I'm really sad to try and cheer me up.

Example of a song: DC Talk's "What Have We Become?"

a preacher shuns his brother
cuz his bride's a different color
and this is not acceptable
his papa taught him so
it was love that he'd be preachin
but this was overreachin'
the boundaries stretchin'
farther than his heart would choose to go

like an angel with no wings
like a kingdom with no king

what have we become
a self indulgent people
what have we become
tell me where the righteous ones
what have we become
in a world degenerating
what have become

Ok, this post is very telling of the era of music I listen to, Azred can attest to this for sure. Everytime he has to turn the volume down of the car stereo when he gets in the car. I usually have Prince, Def Leopard, or Aerosmith blaring. I love the lyrics to the 80's, especially these bands, because they are so sexual, yet they dont' come out and say it directly. The good ol' days when you knew people were talking about sex and showing it, but you didn't have young girls bouncing their booty in the camera, if you know what I mean. I really don't think that Azred likes my choice of music, but he puts up with it. I will always be a child of the 80's. Go 80's! You rock!

This is a song that i listend to for about a year like at least 4 or 5 times a day. It just made me feel better when i listen to it. Made me feel like people couldn't bring me down for being me.

Anger inside builds within my body
Why'd you hit me? What have I done?
You tried to hit me!

-The pain will begin, if you like
[Do you want me to begin, if you like]
Throw your hate at me with all your might
Hit me 'cause I'm strange, hit me!
You tell me I'm a p**** and you're harder than me
What's with you boy? Think hard.
A tattooed body to hide who you are
Scared to be honest, be yourself
A cowardly man!

I don't run around trying to be what's not within me
Look into my eyes, I am free
You're just a wanna-be

To come out

Hit me clown because I'm not from your town, now hit me clown

Clown you ain't shit. Turn around and get your face split.

I'm just too f*****g little!
I'm just a f*****g mental!

LordKathen · 05-13-2003, 02:35 AM

One of my favorite bands of all time. NoMeansNo. You get a chance to here these guys, DO. Here is one of my favorites:

MACHINE

I don't like to see you cry
You're alone and I know why
I can free your life from sin
Open up and let me in
Let me, let me, let me, come in

Machine, I'm a good machine
Machine, I'm a good machine
On you I lean, I lean, I lean, I lean, on you I lean
Machine, I'm a good machine

Believe in one another
Depend on one another
Be good to one another
I am the other
I'm a good machine
Machine, I'm a good machine

I love it, believe me, you know it's true
Believe me, I know it, you'll love it too
I mean it, I see it, I know it's true
I see it, I know it, you'll love it too

When we walk and talk about it
Talk together, I feel fine
When we walk and talk about it
Talk together, walk in line
We walk together, talk about it
Talk together, I feel fine
We talk about it, walk together
Talk together, I walk in line
I guess I'm alright
Oh, yeah, alright, alright
You know I'm ok
Ok, alright, alright
Oh, yeah, it's alright
Alright alright alright
I'm ok, it's alright, I feel fine, it's o.k, it's alright, in fact it's fine

I'm a big machine
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Machine, I'm a good machine
Of thee I sing, I sing, of thee I sing
Machine, I'm a good machine

Believe in one another
Depend on one another

Be good to one another
I am the other
I'm a good machine
Yeah, yeah, yeah

I love it, I made it, it's what I do
You know it, you've seen it, it looks like you
Don't you just love it, it's just like you
I love it, you love it, you know it's true

When we walk...

Look at me and watch yourself
Everyone is someone else
When you speak the echoes chime
The voice is yours but the words are mine
All mine, all mine, all mine, all mine

Machine
