Favorite lines from your favorite songs?

[PMS Androgynous]

I made this thread for all of you music lovers. I know that when I listen to songs, there are certain lines that I love. So, this is the thread to post the lines from the songs that you love! Don't be shy, post as many as you like!

Some of mine:

Your heart has a lack of color, and we should have known that we'd grow up sooner or later, 'cause we wasted all our free time alone - Rainbow Veins, Owl City

Now, now Darling, oh don't kill yourself. 'Cause none of us were angels and you know I love you, yeah/ It's okay by me, it was a long time ago - Speeding Cars, Imogen Heap

What I am to you, is not real. What I am to you, you do not need. What I am to you, is not what you mean to me. You give me miles and miles of mountains, but I ask for the sea - Volcano, Damien Rice

Windmill, windmill for the land turn forever hand in hand. Take it all in on your stride, it is sinking, falling down.
Love forever, love is free. Let's turn forever you and me.
Windmill, windmill for the land is everybody in? - Feel Good, Inc., Gorillaz

Great thread!! :)

let meee seeeee....

The Postal Service - Such Great Heights

"I am thinking it's a sign
that the freckles in our eyes
are mirror images
and when we kiss they're perfectly aligned.

And I have to speculate
that God Himself did make
us into corresponding shapes
like puzzle pieces from the clay."

Inubus - Blood On The Ground

"I don't want to talk to you anymore
I'm afraid of what I might say
I bite my tongue every time you come around
Cause blood in my mouth beats blood on the ground
High fives to a better judgment
By saying less today, I will gain more
Low twos to you my fickle friend
Who brought the art of silent war."

The Used - On The Cross

"So pray then, if it makes you feel safe
But all I can say, is we go our own way
We go our own way
So save us...

We would guess you were the chosen one
Right place, you were the first born son
Once questioned, stable state of mind
Has spent some time in the gutter
A full collapse, a caving in
Just wait for faith to kick in
Lost track of time as I stood in line
Admist the other believers."


Bahhh so many more!! But that's all that I can think of now!!!

[H2O Mexican]

Long As It Be Legal, I Be Will To Try
All I Need Is A Pair Of Wings, I Be Willing To Fly
Trying To Get A Piece Of The Pie, And Ain't I Taking I Work For It
I Be Doing Right, But I'm Being Punished On Earth For It.

Baby You Been Rollin' Solo, Time To Get Down With The Team
Because It's Greener On That Other Side If You Know What I Mean I'll Show You S*** You've Never Seen The 7 Wonders Of The World And I Can Make You The 8th If You Wanna Be My Girl

That's What I Want To Talk About This Morning....
Love, True Love, Unconditional Love(Check It Out)
Yo Once Upon A Time, He Used To Call The Fellas And Hang
Met Her, They Said He Was Never The Same
Started Seeing Them Together Like Umbrellas And Rain
You Would Think That Spaghetti Put A Spell On His Brain

[PMS Androgynous]

And I
cry
when he comes
around
to take
you
home.

And I,
I'm too shy!
I should have kissed you
when we were alone.

Damien Rice - Cheers Darling

[k1d 650]

One of my favorite lines is in my sig.

"Bouquet of clumsy words. A simple melody. This world's an ugly place, but you're so beautiful to me." Going Away to College - blink-182

[PMS Sissy]

This isn't really a LINE from the song...more like the whole song lol. But this is my fav Thrice song by FAR. I love the nod to Greek Mythology in this one...it's about Icarus.

Thrice - The Melting Point of Wax

"I’ve waited for this moment
all my life and more
and now I see so clearly
what I could not see before
the time is now or never
and this chance won't come again
throw caution and myself into the wind

there’s no promise of safety
with these secondhand wings
but I’m willing to find out
what impossible means
a leap of faith

parody of an angel
miles above the sea
I hear the voice of reason
screaming after me
you flew far to high for
now you're too close to the sun
soon your makeshift wings will come undone

but how will I know
limits from lies
if I never try

there’s no promise of safety
with these secondhand wings
but I’m willing to find out
what impossible means
I climb through the heavens
on feathers and dreams
cause the melting point of wax
means nothing to me
nothing to me
nothing to me

I will touch the sun
or I will die trying
die trying

fly on these secondhand wings
I’m willing to find out
what impossible means
I climb though the heavens
on feathers and dreams
cause the melting point of wax
means nothing to me
nothing to me
it means nothing to me
miles above the sea."

[PMS TheSkittles]

my favorite part of this song
Jasey Rae by All Time Low

I've never told a lie,
and that makes me a liar,
I've never made a bet,
but we gamble with desire,
I've never lit a match,
with intent to start a fire,
but recently the flames
are getting out of control.
Call me a name,
Kill me with words,
Forget about me,
It's what I deserve.
I was your chance,
to get out of this town,
but I ditched the car,
and left you to,

Wait outside I,
Hope the air will serve to remind you,
that my heart is as cold as the clouds of your breath,
and my words are as timed as the beating in my chest.

[SushiMooshi]

no known beat that can keep ya lonley

com-bat to getcha bomb back

There's too many favorite lines from songs so I'll just put some lyrics from song I love.

The Shins - Caring Is Creepy
I think I'll go home and mull this over
Before I cram it down my throat
At long last it's crashed, the colossal mass
Has broken up into bits in my moat

Lift the mattress off the floor
Walk the cramps off
Go meander in the cold
Hail to your dark skin
Hiding the fact you're dead again
Undeneath the power lines seeking shade
Far above our heads are the icy heights
That contain all reason

It's a luscious mix of words and tricks
That let us bet when you know we should fold
On rocks I dreamt of where we'd stepped
And the whole mess of roads we're not on

Hold your glass up, hold it in
Never betray the way you've always known it is
One day I'll be wondering how
I got so old just wondering how
I never got cold wearing nothing in the snow

This is way beyond my remote concern
Of being condescending

All these squawking birds won't quit
Building nothing, laying bricks



Elliott Smith - Twilight
Haven't laughed this hard in a long time
I better stop now before I start crying
Go off to sleep in the sunshine
I don't want to see the day when it's dying

She's a sight to see
She's good to me
I'm already somebody's baby
She's a pretty thing
And she knows everything
But I'm already somebody's baby

You don't deserve to be lonely
But those drugs you got won't make you feel better
Pretty soon you'll find it's the only
Little part of your life you're keeping together

I'm nice to you
I could make it through
That you're already somebody's baby
I could make you smile
If you stayed a while
But how long will you stay with me, baby?

Because your candle burns too bright
Well, I almost forgot it was twilight
Even if I think that you are right
Well, I'm tired of being down, I got no fight

You're wonderful
And it's beautiful
But I'm already somebody's baby
And if I went with you
I'd disappoint you too
Well, I'm already somebody's baby
Already somebody's baby



Underoath - I'm Conten With Losing
Like I said
Leave your baggage at the back door
I'm leaving you the way I think it should be
We're always puling into spaces that we can't back out of
Starting fights we can't talk our way of them

How does it feel to be on the receiving end of this one?

[chorus]
I'm half way there and it's all on me
This is what I get for wanting more
This is the way it has to be
Dancing on all these changes
So I walk around with this rope in my hand
So I'll tie it around and around
I'll tie me down

I'll fantasize of being manic
And leaving us behind
In your eyes you were the one that tried

Acceptance is what holds us here
And you my dear are the one I fear tonight
We'll try this one more time

This is the moment that we all live for
Are you ready?

[repeat chorus]

You can't see past my waving hands
Just running away again
You can't see past my waving hands
Goodbye

You think so loud it hurts my ears
I want to know how to get through this
Without choking up
I can't feel you
You're so far from me
(This is what I get for wanting more)
(And it's all on me)



Copeland - Pin Your Wings
Hey Amanda
Where'd you find these crazy boys this time?
They say you're pretty but you don't think they're right.

Hey Amanda
While you're staring at your telephone tonight
do you feel like turning it off, turning off all of the lights?

Pin your wings down
if it's over now
Pin your wings down
just take a chance somehow

Hey Amanda
who just threw your heart away this time?
And when you're crying on your bed does he help keep you alive?

Pin your wings down
if it's all over now
Pin your wings down
just take a chance somehow

I'll take the blame if you take me home now
Cuz there's no place left for trust in all this pain
And you know when it rains in this town I get washed away
Without a sound
So pin my wings down

If it's over
If it's over now

Pin your wings down
if it's over now
Pin your wings down
just take a chance somehow



Damien Rice - Elephant
This has got to die
This has got to stop
This has got to lie down
Someone else on top

You can keep me pinned
It's easier to tease
But you can't paint an elephant
Quite as good as she

And she may cry like a baby
And she may drive me Crazy
'Cause I am lately lonely

So why d'you have to lie?
I take it I'm your crutch
The pillow in your pillow case
It's easier to touch

And when you think you've sinned
Do you fall upon your knees?
And do you sit within your picture?
Do you still forget the breeze?

And she may rise, if I sing you down
And she may wisely cling to the ground
Cause I'm lately horny
So why would she take me horny?

What's the point of this song? Or even singing?
You've already gone, why am I clinging?
Well I could throw it out, and I could live without
And I could do it all for you
I could be strong
Tell me if you want me to lie
'Cause this has got to die

This has got to stop
This has got to lie down, down
With someone else on top

You can both keep me pinned
'Cause it's easier to tease
But you can't make me happy
Quite as good as me

Well you know that's a lie

A Perfect Circle - Gravity
Lost again
Broken and weary
Unable to find my way
Tail in hand
Dizzy and clearly unable to
Just let this go

I am surrendering to the gravity and the unknown
Catch me heal me lift me back up to the sun
I choose to live

I fell again
Like a baby unable to stand on my own
Tail in hand
Dizzy and clearly unable to just let this go
High and surrendering to the gravity and the unknown
Catch me heal me lift me back up to the sun
I choose to live, I choose to live, I choose to live

Catch me heal me lift me back up to the sun
Help me survive the bottom

Calm these hands before they
Snare another pill and
Drive another nail down another
Needy hole please release me

I am surrendering to the gravity and the unknown
Catch me heal me lift me back up to the sun
I choose to live, I choose to live

Motion City Soundtrack - Hold Me Down
I found a letter that said:
"I'm sorry that you were asleep when I wrote these words down,"
You'd think I'd ought to be used to that by now.
Save for a few of those late night episodes,
Missed opportunities, and "I Don't Cares,"
There's not a lot that I feel obliged to share or talk about.

I'll have my brother stop by this Saturday to pick up my things,
Just make sure you're not there.
This may sound bad, and don't take it the wrong way..
I love you, however,
You hold me down [x4]

You're the echoes of my everything,
You're the emptiness the whole world sings at night.
You're the laziness of afternoon,
You're the reason why I burst and why I bloom.
How will I break the news to you? [x2]

Cancel our dinner with Max and Coraline,
feed Jacky's gerbil and try to stay clean.
We'll talk it over after I've had some time alone to sort it out.
You hold me down [x4]

You're the echoes of my everything,
You're the emptiness the whole world sings at night.
You're the laziness of afternoon,
You're the reason why I burst and why I bloom.
You're the leaky sink of sentiment,
You're the failed attempts I never could forget.
You're the metaphors I can't create to comprehend this curse that I call love..
How will I break the news to you? [x5]






Sorry For all the lyrics But I couldnt just pick one ultimate. Also I sorry for entire songs instead of just fav lines.

[Eskimo XXX]

my all time favorite is from Tools song "right in two." it goes "god gave these humans free will, now they're all confused."

due to the life i have taken to achieve and follow my next two lines would be by Anthony Green/Saosin, a song titled "They Perch on their Stilts, Pointing,Daring me to Break Custom." yeah, long song name....

1. "im not sold on anything but half a dream." i have devoted my life to music, i have had the god given gift of drums since i was a child and sometimes i feel its not gods path for me but its what makes me the happiest so i choose to pursue a career in it. i am getting the rest of my left arm sleeve(tattoo) done in favor to this line.

2."heavenly grace to you i owe you all." which is from the same song. its saying "i owe everyone who has supported me and my dreams the world." i am dedicating my right arm(sleeve) to this line, full of tattoos of things that have influenced me and people who have supported me,symbolism.

anyways, it those 3 are my favorite.

[DrGroove247]

Here's one of mine:
"If music is a mirror, revealing the depths of my heart, then I will write the darkest song, for without forgiveness, my soul is lost."
_From the song "Within Destruction" by As I Lay Dying, from the album, "An Ocean Between Us".
