What song lyrics feel as an extension of your very soul? For me it's a tie between:
"And all my words come back to me/in shades of mediocrity."-Simon and Garfunkel, because, as a poet, I often look over my old work and find it wanting,
and
"Love at first sight/ may sound trite/ but it's true, you know/ I could list the details/ of everything you ever wore or said/ or how you stood that day,"-Morrissey, because love is in the details.

"A Love So Pure" by underOATH is a great one, that's all I can think of...

"The half eaten sauage would like to meet you in his office" The locus.

"You'd kill yourself for recognition.
Kill yourself to never ever stop."

"Drying up in conversation
you will be the one who cannot talk.
All your insides fall to pieces.
You just sit there wishing you could still make love.
They're the ones who'll hate you when you think you've got the world all sussed out.
They're the one who'll spit at you.
You will be the one screaming out."

High & Dry by Radiohead.

I'm not eager to achieve your life skills.
So, I slow down and scratch the itch between my chin and nose.

We're melting at sea. We're melting at sea.

Why do you take everything I say the wrong way?

i've built a black hearted girl without any soul or life inside,
so I can settle down with what a stranger would call my soul mate.

We're melting at sea. We're melting at sea.

Why do you take everything I say the wrong way?
why do you take everything I say the wrong way?

Vacate the vacancy. Stroll through the mystery bazaar.

To all concerned: find a gun, find a reason; help us come undone.
To all concerned: focus your anger and stop feasting like a fucking animal.

Vampires: they make their money at the blood bonanza.
Vampires: they make their money at the blood bonanza.

Disengage the deathgrip; it's a risk worth taking.

So, you lay there like a dying worm; brains all gone. Disslocate and suffer.
Fed up of choking on worthless blood, she's like a fucking crippled animal.

Vampires: they make their money at the blood bonanza.
Vampires: they make their money at the blood bonanza.
Vampires: they make their money at the blood bonanza.
Vampires: they make their money at the blood bonanza.
.

Look up!!
C-c-c-c-c-captain christ says!!
You think too much about the wrong things.
You sing about the wrong things.
Take extra special care!!

Simply put you're a fuck up.
C-c-c-c-c-captain christ says!!
You think too much about the wrong things.
You sing about the wrong things.

Take extra special care..
Take extra special...
Take extra special...

Take on the world, at their own game.
You might succeed, and win again.

Ribs break. Souls stay bare.
Your' forked stare cuts through.
You twist, you turn
Wrapping around me, wrapping around me.
Now, so tight, squeezing the life from me.

You're facing a pointless task.
But it's the same thing, and it's the same thing.
And I will face the task...

Quando tu apareceste
eu estava esquecida
nos perdidos e achados da vida
mas sentia-me bem
com a cabeça arrumada
não sentia falta de nada

Avisei-te à partida
que a haver algo entre nós
era melhor ter cuidado
queria viver o presente
queria esquecer o passado

Portanto não me acuses da dor
que dizes sentir agora
deixa-me só no meu canto
a vida segue lá fora

"So I declare a holiday,
Fall asleep, drift away."
- Radiohead, Sulk

"Good morning TV, you're looking so healthy" - Blur, End of a Century

Perkele's song "En Underbar Dag" has to be one of my favorites. The Blitz song "Warriors" & Verlorne Jungs "Was War Gestern Los" are way up there as well. Oh, and The Dicks' "Kill From The Heart".

Hmm fuck it. Great songlyrics abounds. I can't decide which I prefer. Political lyrics, songs about friendship & unity, or lovesongs? Hmm... Perhaps this is my favorite lyrics:
I love you, yes I do, 'cause I know that you love me too
I love you , yes I do, gonna spend all my money on you
Everyday , when I say , that I'm not gonna take any more
Its okay, don't go away, I'll be back when you're closing the door

I need some more to restore all the feelings that I get from you
I want more, give me more, all I want is a barrel of you
I love you, yes I do, 'cause I know that you love me too
I love you, yes I do, gonna spend all my money on you

I don't care when they stare at the way that I'm always with you
We're a pair, its not fair when they say we're a special crew

I love you, yes I do, 'cause I know that you love me too
I love you , yes I do, gonna spend all my money on you
Everyday , when I say , that I'm not gonna take any more
Its okay, don't go away, I'll be back when you're closing the door

I love you, yes I do, 'cause I know that you love me too

DRI-stupid stupid war
You think you look good in your new uniform
Starched and pressed into the perfect norm
Until uncle Sam puts a gun in your hand
Points you in the wrong direction and says,
"kill that man!"
Well, I don't fit into your plan
You can't make me kill, man
You can't make me kill a man
You can't make me kill and
I won't fight your stupid war
Believe me, I'm not your slave
I won't fight in your war games
The C.I.A. Can't make me play
The world's running into problems now
That doesn't mean we have to fight it out
Well, I don't fit into your plan
You can't make me kill, man
You can't make me kill a man
You can't make me kill and
I won't fight your stupid war
I won't fight your stupid war
I won't fight when there's nothing to fight for
Nothing to fight for
Nothing to fight fuckin for

Sweat, baby, sweat, baby sex is a Texas drought me
and you do the kind of stuff that only Prince would sing about
So put your hands down my pants and I'll bet you'll feel nuts
Yes, I'm Siskel, yes I'm Ebert and you're getting two thumbs up
You've had enough of two-hand touch, you want it rough, you're out of bounds
I want to you smothered, want you covered, like my Waffle House hash browns
Come quicker than Fed Ex, never reaching apex like Coca-Cola stock you are
inclined to make me rise an hour early just like Daylight Savings Time

(do it now)
You and me baby ain't nothin' but mammals
So let's do it like they do on the Discovery Channel
(do it again now)
You and me baby ain't nothin' but mammals
So let's do it like they do on the Discovery Channel
(gettin' horny now)...................

you have to admit it si catchy!

What song lyrics feel as an extension of your very soul?

Tool - "Parabol/Parabola"

So familiar and overwhelmingly warm
This one, this form I hold now.
Embracing you, this reality here,
This one, this form I hold now, so
Wide eyed and hopeful.
Wide eyed and hopefully wild.

We barely remember what came before this precious moment,
Choosing to be here right now. Hold on, stay inside...
This body holding me, reminding me that I am not alone in
This body makes me feel eternal. All this pain is an illusion.

---

We barely remember who or what came before this precious moment,
We are choosing to be here right now. Hold on, stay inside
This holy reality, this holy experience.
Choosing to be here in

This body. This body holding me. Be my reminder here that I am not alone in
This body, this body holding me, feeling eternal
All this pain is an illusion.

Alive, I

In this holy reality, in this holy experience. Choosing to be here in

This body. This body holding me. Be my reminder here that I am not alone in
This body, this body holding me, feeling eternal
All this pain is an illusion.

Twirling round with this familiar parable.
Spinning, weaving round each new experience.
Recognize this as a holy gift and celebrate this chance to be alive and breathing.

This body holding me reminds me of my own mortality.
Embrace this moment. Remember. We are eternal.
All this pain is an illusion.

"I've Been Everywhere" - By Johnny Cash
I was totin my pack along the long dusty Winnamucka road
When along came a semi with a high canvas covered load
If your goin' to Winnamucka, Mack with me you can ride

He asked me if I'd seen a road with so much dust and sand
And I said, "Listen! I've traveled every road in this here land!"

"Lateralus" - By Tool
Black then white are all I see in my infancy.
red and yellow then came to be, reaching out to me.
lets me see.
As below, so above and beyond, I imagine
drawn beyond the lines of reason.
Push the envelope. Watch it bend.

Over thinking, over analyzing separates the body from the mind.
Withering my intuition, missing opportunities and I must
Feed my will to feel my moment drawing way outside the lines.

Black then white are all I see in my infancy.
red and yellow then came to be, reaching out to me.
lets me see there is so much more
and beckons me to look through to these infinite possibilities.
As below, so above and beyond, I imagine
drawn outside the lines of reason.
Push the envelope. Watch it bend.

Over thinking, over analyzing separates the body from the mind.
Withering my intuition leaving all these opportunities behind.

Feed my will to feel this moment urging me to cross the line.
Reaching out to embrace the random.
Reaching out to embrace whatever may come.

I embrace my desire to
feel the rhythm, to feel connected
enough to step aside and weep like a widow
to feel inspired, to fathom the power,
to witness the beauty, to bathe in the fountain,
to swing on the spiral
of our divinity and still be a human.

With my feet upon the ground I lose myself
between the sounds and open wide to suck it in,
I feel it move across my skin.
I'm reaching up and reaching out,
I'm reaching for the random or what ever will bewilder me.
And following our will and wind we may just go where no one's been.
We'll ride the spiral to the end and may just go where no one's been.

Spiral out. Keep going, going...

"Pyramid Song" By Radiohead
I jumped in the river and what did I see?
Black-eyed angels swam with me
A moon full of stars and astral cars
All the things I used to see
All my lovers were there with me
All my past and futures
And we all went to heaven in a little row boat
There was nothing to fear and nothing to doubt

I jumped into the river
Black-eyed angels swam with me
A moon full of stars and astral cars
And all the things I used to see
All my lovers were there with me
All my past and futures
And we all went to heaven in a little row boat
There was nothing to fear and nothing to doubt

There was nothing to fear and nothing to doubt
There was nothing to fear and nothing to doubt

Life in a Glass House- radiohead

Once again, I'm in trouble with my only friend
She is papering the window panes
She is putting on a smile
Living in a glass house

Once again, packed like frozen food and battery hens
Think of all the starving millions
Don't talk politics and don't throw stones
Your royal highnesses

Well of course I'd like to sit around and chat
Well of course I'd like to stay and chew the fat
Well of course I'd like to sit around and chat
But someone's listening in.

Once again, we are hungry for a lynching
That's a strange mistake to make
You should turn the other cheek
Living in a glass house

Well of course I'd like to sit around and chat
Well of course I'd like to stay and chew the fat
Well of course I'd like to sit around and chat
But someone's listening in.

Lord Of This World - Black Sabbath

You've searching for your mind don't know where to start
Can't find the key to fit the lock on your heart
You think you know but you are never quite sure
Your soul is ill but you will not find cure

Your world was made for you by someone above
But you choose evil ways instead of love
You may me master of the world where you exist
The soul I took from you was not even missed

Lord of this world
Evil Possessor
Lord of this world
He's your confessor now!

You think you're inocent you've nothing to fear
You don't know me, you say, but isn't it clear?
You turn to me in all your wordly greed and pride
But will you turn to me when it's your turn to die?




Nomad - Sepultura

...
Who are you to criticize
To judge and burn the tribes
The world will be extinct
And your flesh will rot with mine
...


Fade To Black - Metallica (http://lyrics.rockmagic.net/lyrics/metallica/ride_the_lightening_1984.html#04)

Sweet Leafe - Black Sabbath (http://lyrics.rockmagic.net/lyrics/black_sabbath/master_of_reality_1971.html#01)

Whats in it for me? - Pitchshifter (http://www.darklyrics.com/lyrics/pitchshifter/wwwpitchshiftercom.html#11) ("This is a song with a sense of irony" ;))

Civilised - Pitchshifter (http://www.darklyrics.com/lyrics/pitchshifter/wwwpitchshiftercom.html#4)

Shutdown - Pitchshifter (http://www.darklyrics.com/lyrics/pitchshifter/psi.html#6)

Book of love in front of me
Tries to bite my chin;
Angel right behind my shoulder
Waits to do me in;
I wish I had a heart
To walk me like a dog -
But life's a sweet thing,
Going up in smoke.

Used to be a passenger,
Now they take me as their own;
Used to be a fisher-king
But now my cross is gone.
I wish I had some faith,
But all I do is talk -
And life's a sweet thing,
Going up in smoke.

We could be engineers,
We could drive a coach;
Could be real New Age
With positive approach.
I wish I still could laugh,
I wish it was a joke -
But life's a sweet thing,
Going up in smoke.

From "Aquarium", a very famous Russian band.

Your Horoscope For Today
by Wierd Al Yancovic

[You should at least read your own 'horoscope.' Or mine. I'm Cancer.]


Aquarius
There's travel in your future when your tongue freezes to the back of a speeding bus
Fill that void in your life by playing Whack-A-Mole seventeen hours a day

Pisces
Try to avoid any Virgos or Leos with the Ebola virus
You are the tru Lord of the Dance, no matter what those idiots at work say

Aries
The look on your face will be priceless when you find that forty pound watermelon in your colon
Trade toothbrushes with an albino dwarf, then give a hickey to Meryl Streep

Taurus
You will never find tru happiness - what you gonna do, cry about it?
The stars predict tomorrow you'll wake up, do a bunch of stuff, and then go back to sleep

That's your horoscope for today (that's your horoscope for today)
That's your horoscope for today
That's your horoscope for today (that's your horoscope for today)
That's your horoscope for today

Gemini
Your birthday party will be ruined once again by your explosive flatulence
Your love life will run into trouble when your fiance hurls a javelin through your chest

Cancer
The position of Jupiter says you should spend the rest of the week face down in the mud
Try not to shove a roll of duct tape up your nose while taking your driver's test

Leo
Now is not a good time to photocopy your butt and staple it to your boss's face, oh no
Eat a bucket of tuna-flavored pudding, then wash it down with a gallon of strawberry Quik

Virgo
All Virgos are extremely friendly and intelligent - except for you
Expect a big surprise today when you wind up with your head impaled on a stick

That's your horoscope for today (that's your horoscope for today)
That's your horoscope for today
That's your horoscope for today (that's your horoscope for today)
That's your horoscope for today

Now you may find it inconceivable or at the very least a bit unlikely
that the relative position of the planets and the stars could have
a special deep significance or meaning that exclusively applies to only you,
but let me give you my assurance that these forcasts and predictions
are all based on solid, scientific, documented evidence, so you would have
to be some kind of moron not to reaize that every single one of the is absolutely true.

Where was I?

Libra
A big promotion is just around the corner for someone much more talented that you
Laughter is the very best medicine, remember that when your appendix bursts next week

Scorpio
Get ready for an unexpected trip when you call screaming from an open window
Work a little harder on improving your low self-esteem, you stupid freak

Sagittarius
All your friends are laughing behind your back (kill them)
Take down all those naked pictures of Ernest Borgnine you've got hanging in your den

Capricorn
The stars say that you're an exciting and wonderful person, but you know they're lying
If I were you, I's lock my doors and windows and never never never never never leave my house again

That's your horoscope for today (that's your horoscope for today)
That's your horoscope for today
That's your horoscope for today (that's your horoscope for today)
That's your horoscope for today

That's your horoscope for today (that's your horoscope for today)
That's your horoscope for today
That's your horoscope for today (yay yay yay yay yay)

Here's one of my favorites

The perfect drug by Nine Inch Nails

I got my head, but my head is unraveling
Can’t keep control, can’t keep track of where it’s traveling
I got my heart but my heart is no good
And you’re the only one that’s understood
I come along but I don’t know where you’re taking me
I shouldn’t go but you’re reaching back and shaking me
Turn off the sun, pull the stars from the sky
The more I give to you, the more I die

And I want you
And I want you
And I want you
And I want you

You are the perfect drug, the perfect drug, the perfect drug
You are the perfect drug, the perfect drug, the perfect drug

You make me hard, when I’m all soft inside
I see the truth, when I’m all stupid eyed
The arrow goes straight through my heart
Without you everything just falls apart

My blood wants to say hello to you
My feelings want to get inside of you
My soul is so afraid to realize
how very little there is left of me

And I want you
And I want you
And I want you
And I want you

You are the perfect drug, the perfect drug, the perfect drug
You are the perfect drug, the perfect drug, the perfect drug
You are the perfect drug, the perfect drug, the perfect drug
You are the perfect drug, the perfect drug, the perfect drug
You are the perfect drug, the perfect drug, the perfect drug
You are the perfect drug, the perfect drug, the perfect drug
(whispering)
You are the perfect drug, the perfect drug, the perfect drug
You are the perfect drug, the perfect drug, the perfect drug
You are the perfect drug, the drug, the perfect drug

Take me, with you
Take me, with you
Take me, with you
(continues in backround)
Without you, without you everything falls apart
Without you, it’s not as much fun to pick up the pieces
Without you, without you everything falls apart
Without you, it’s not as much fun to pick up the pieces
It’s not as much fun to pick up the pieces
It’s not as much fun to pick up the pieces
Without you, without you everything falls apart
Without you, it’s not as much fun to pick up the pieces

.
Kill the fat controller
Pray to a new God
Kill the fat controller
I need a new drug

I'm going to go railway surfing
I'm going to kill that fucking retard
God is something that's soft and warm
while the Devil is something that's hard

What is with all the Radiohead lyrics on this thread? :confused:

Anyway, mine is "Standard Break" by Alkaline Trio


I've got a regular problem
So my standard break from life is in order
I'm having trouble making sentences
I'm older but I don't feel any smarter
You see I don't know what I said to you
And now you're pissed at you know who
And I guess I deserve it
I wish I could waste my time without wasting all your time
I try to leave a good impression
But it's hard when my obsession's in a wine glass
And when you're only 23
It's not attractive to complain about your sore back
Yes I can bitch until my eyes are blue
And you're in bed with someone new
And I guess you deserve him
Wish I could waste my time without wasting all your time
You say I'm fixable
A classic case, lack of will
I say I don't wanna try
I'd rather stay here all night

I've got a motivation problem
So my standard break from life is getting longer
Spent over 30 hours in this bed
In two days, I guess I could've phoned her
But now that I'm awake
I'd rather take a drink
And walk down to the lake
And beg the sky for lightning bolts
I can't waste my time without wasting all your time
You say it's fixable
A classic case, lack of will
I say I don't wanna try
I'd rather sit here all night



I also considered using "Almost Honest" by Megadeth

I lied just a little
When I said I need you
You stretched the truth
When you said that you knew
Just can't believe it
There's nothing to say
I was almost honest, almost

Living alone, can't stand this place
It's four in the morning and I still see your face

I was nearly pure
When I said I loved you
You were semi-sincere
You said I'd bleed for you
We were kind of candid
Now you're gone away
You were almost honest, almost

Living alone, falling from grace
I want to alone but there's just empty space
I can't face tomorrow, now you're not coming back
Walked off in the night and just left me the tracks

I question your call by the tone of your voice
I know I should hang up but I don't have a choice
It happened that night when you told me to go
Don't ask who's to blame, I don't know

Almost, almost honest
Almost, I was almost honest
