Some songs have fantastic lyrics its plain for all to see, I was wondering (and its slow as fork on here) what peoples favourite or most special lyrics were?

Maybe a song played at the married folks wedding had some lyrics that made it special for you, (or more than likely the better half).

And maybe if there is not specific lyrics, how about a song?

I apologise for this, im bored as a mother forker. And yes, yes I have.

Lyrics are very important for me in a song... And obviously I have some favourite songs on that account... I kinda like abstract lyrics as well as the more conventional ones...

I love the atmosphere the lyrics of street spirit of Radiohead evoke... Especially this part

Rows of houses, all bearing down on me
I can feel their blue hands are touching me


I love the lyrics of under the bridge... They are on the one hand very sad, on the other very much an acceptance of Faith....

I drive through her streets cause she's my companion,
I walk through her hills, cause she knows who I am
She sees my good deeds and she kisses me windy,
And I'll never worry, now that is a lie


And the very powerful lyrics of The Dresden Dolls 'Half jack' (which are autobiographical too)

half jack
for my father

half underwater
i'm half my mother's daughter
a fraction's left up to dispute
the whole collection
half off the price they're asking
in the halfway house of ill repute

half accidental
half pain full instrumental
i have a lot to think about
you think they're joking?
you have to go provoke him...
i guess it's high time you found out

it's half biology and half corrective surgery gone wrong
you'll notice something funny if you hang around here for too
long ago in some black hole before they had these pills to take it back
i'm half jill
and half jack

two halves are equal
a cross between two evils
it's not an enviable lot
but if you listen
you'll learn to hear the difference
between the halfs and the half nots

and when i let him in i feel my stitches getting sicker
i try to wash him out but like she said:the blood is thicker
i see my mother in my face
but only when i travel
i run as fast as i can run
but
jack comes tumbling after....

and when i'm brave enough and find a clever way to kick him out
and i'm so high not even you and all your love could bring me down
on 83rd he never found the magic words to change this fact:
i'm half jill
and half jack

i'm halfway home now
half hoping
for a showdown
cause i'm not big enough to house this crowd
it might destroy me
but i'd sacrifice my body
if it meant i'd get the jack part OUT

see

jack

run.....


I will probably think of some other later

What do you think those lyrics mean Dutch? And Maj why those songs, and is it the whole song or do you find parts of the lyrics that you find the best?

In the case of radiohead, I think the meaning is not as relevant... Their lyrics (or poetry as I like to call it) is more a way of creating an atmosphere and a feeling.... I think utter disconnectedness with the world around you nicely sums up the feeling

Under the bridge is basically a ballad for LA... the part I took I find very powerful, He describes the city as a living thing, and as is said it's maybe the only thing that loves him... And he loves it back... Life is not made anymore easier for that fact though (hence the line '.. she kisses me windy and I'll never worry now that is a lie)

The Dresden Dolls song is about the internal torture and struggle, of having part of the personality of a very unpleasant parent....

Another song that shook because of it's lyrics... I was a adolescent at the time, and this kinda politics sounded great to me at the time

Rage against the Machine -Take the power back (ignore the ughs :lol: )

Bring that s**t in! Uggh!

Yeah, the movement's in motion with mass militant poetry
Now check this out...uggh!

In the right light, study becomes insight
But the system that dissed us
Teaches us to read and right

So called facts are fraud
They want us to allege and pledge
And bow down to their God
Lost the culture, the culture lost
Spun our minds and through time
Ignorance has taken over
Yo, we gotta take the power back!
Bam! Here's the plan
Motherfork Uncle Sam
Step back, I know who I am
Raise up your ear, I'll drop the style and clear
It's the beats and the lyrics they fear
The rage is relentless
We need a movement with a quickness
You are the witness of change
And to counteract
We gotta take the power back

Yeah, we gotta take the power back
Come on, come on!
We gotta take the power back

The present curriculum
I put my fist in 'em
Eurocentric every last one of 'em
See right through the red, white and blue disguise
With lecture I puncture the structure of lies
Installed in our minds and attempting
To hold us back
We've got to take it back
Holes in our spirit causin' tears and fears
One-sided stories for years and years and years
I'm inferior? Who's inferior?
Yeah, we need to check the interior
Of the system that cares about only one culture
And that is why
We gotta take the power back

Yeah, we gotta take the power back
Come on, come on!
We gotta take the power back

Hey yo check, we're gonna have to break it, break it,
break it down
Awww s**t!

Uggh!

And like this...uggh!

Come on, yeah! Bring it back the other way!

The teacher stands in front of the class
But the lesson plan he can't recall
The student's eyes don't perceive the lies
Bouning off every forking wall
His composure is well kept
I guess he fears playing the fool
The complacent students sit and listen to some of that
Bullshit that he learned in school

Europe ain't my rope to swing on
Can't learn a thing from it
Yet we hang from it
Gotta get it, gotta get it together then
Like the motherforkin' weathermen
To expose and close the doors on those who try
To strangle and mangle the truth
'Cause the circle of hatred continues unless we react
We gotta take the power back

Yeah, we gotta take the power back
Come on, come on!
We gotta take the power back

No more lies
No more lies
No more lies
No more lies
No more lies
No more lies
No more lies
No more lies

Uggh!

Yeah!

Take it back y'all
Take it back, a-take it back
A-take it back y'all, come on!
Take it back y'all
Take it back, a-take it back
A-take it back y'all, come on!

Uggh!

Yeah!

Any song sang by Jack's Mannequin. I heard Andrew McMahon speaking about how he writes his lyrics and what he wants from them and he said he will only ever tell enough for people to understand what he is singng about but not so much that the songs can't have its own meaning to the person listening to them.

Hold the person that you love closely if they're next to you
The one you love, not the person that'll simply have sex with you
Appreciate them to the fullest extent, and then beyond
'Cause you never really know what you got, until it's gone

This is part of an Immortal Technique song, its a rap song. I can post the full song if you like, its like a story.

And I absolutely love this song by the chili peppers... The music along with the lyrics make for one of the most relaxing songs evere imo

Red Hot Chili Peppers- Walkabout

I think I'll go on a walkabout
And find out what it's all about - and that ain't hard
Just me and my own two feet
In the heat I've got myself to meet
A detective of perspective I
I need to try and get a bigger eye - open wide
bloodwood flowers in my gaze
walkabout in a sunny daze - do me now
On a walkabout
You could do it in the city
You could do it in a zone
You could do it in a desert
You could do the unknown
On a walkbout
High desert skies are what I spy
So fly - you've got to wonder why
The stingrays must be fat this year
Moving slow in my lowest gear
The digirido original man with a dream
I believe the Aborigine
On a walkabout
You could do it with a shuffle
You could do it with a stroll
You could do it with a stride
You could do the unknown
ON A WALKABOUT
A walk could cure most all my blues
bare feet or in my two shoes - 1, 2,
I think I'll go on a walkabout
Find out what it's all about - can't hurt to try
Use your legs to rock it wide
Take a ride to the other side

Yeah, Yeah yeah, Yeah yeah, Yeaah

[Usher (Verse 1):]
I'm in the club with my homies, tryna get a lil V-I, keep it down on the low key, cause you know how it feels.
I said shorty she was checkin up on me, from the game she was spittin my ear you would think that she knew me.
So we decided to chill

Conversation got heavy, she had me feelin like she's ready to blow!
(Watch Out!, Watch Out!)
She saying come get me, come get me,
So I got up and followed her to the floor, she said baby lets go,
When I told her I said

[Usher (Chorus):]
Yeah (yeah) Shorty got down and said come and get me
Yeah (yeah) I got so caught up I forgot she told me
Yeah (yeah) Her and my girl used to be the best of homies
Yeah (yeah) Next thing I knew she was all up on me screaming:

Yeah, Yeah yeah, Yeah yeah, Yeaah
Yeah, Yeah yeah, Yeah yeah, Yeaah

[Usher (Verse 2):]
Shes all up in my head now, got me thinking that it might good idea to take her with me,
Cause she's ready to leave.
Now I gotta keep it real now, cause on a one-to-ten she's a certified twenty, and that just aint me.

Cause I don't know if I take that chance just where is it gonna lead,
But what I do know is the way she dance makes shorty alright with me.
The way she getting low!
I'm like yeah, just work that out for me.
She asked for one more dance and I'm
Like yeah, how the hell am I supposed to leave?
And I said

[Chorus]

[Lil' Jon:]
Luda!

[Ludacris (Verse 3):]
Watch out!
My outfit's ridiculous, In the club lookin' so conspicuous.
And Rowl! These women all on the prowl, if you hold the head steady I'm a milk the cow.
Forget about the game I'm a spit the truth, I won't stop till I get em in they birthday suits.
So gimmie the rhythm and it'll be off with they clothes, then bend over to the front and touch your toes.
I left the jag and I took the roles, if they aint cutting then I put em on foot patrol.
How you like me now, when my pinky's valued over three hundred thousand,
Lets drank you the one to please, Ludacris fill cups like double d's.
Me and Ush once more and we leave em dead, we want a lady in the street but a freak in the bed to say

[Chorus]

[Ludacris (Bridge):]
Take that and rewind it back, Lil' Jon got the beat make ya booty go (clap)
Take that and rewind it back, Ursher got the voice make ya booty go (clap)
Take that and rewind it back, Ludacris got the flow make ya booty go (clap)
Take that and rewind it back, Lil' Jon got the beat make ya booty go (clap)
