First thread/post ever here, I like this place already, being a lyriclover.
Anyway, to the subject!
What do you guys think about this song's lyrics? personally I find it really really deep, and just beautiful, I currently listen to it daily, even though it's a 10 minute song

of Montreal - The Past Is A Grotesque Animal

The past is a grotesque animal
And in its eyes you see
How completely wrong you can be
How completely wrong you can be

The sun is out, it melts the snow that fell yesterday
Makes you wonder why it bothered

I fell in love with the first cute girl that I met
Who could appreciate Georges Bataille
Standing at Swedish festival discussing "Story of the Eye"
Discussing "Story of the Eye"

It's so embarrassing to need someone like I do you
How can I explain, I need you here and not here too
How can I explain, I need you here and not here too

I'm flunking out, I'm flunking out, I'm gone, I'm just gone
But at least I author my own disaster
At least I author my own disaster

Performance breakdown and I don't want to hear it
I'm just not available
Things could be different but they're not
Things could be different but they're not

The mousy girl screams, "Violence! Violence!"
The mousy girl screams, "Violence! Violence!"
She gets hysterical because they're both so mean
And it's my favorite scene
But the cruelty's so predictable
It makes you sad on the stage
Though our love project has so much potential
But it's like we weren't made for this world
(Though I wouldn't really want to meet someone who was)

Do I have to scream in your face?
I've been dodging lamps and vegetables
Throw it all in my face, I don't care

Let's just have some fun
Let's tear this **** apart
Let's tear the ****ing house apart
Let's tear our ****ing bodies apart
But let's just have some fun

Somehow you've red-rovered the gestapo circling my heart
And nothing can defeat you
No death, no ugly world

You've lived so brightly
You've altered everything
I find myself searching for old selves
While speeding forward through the plate glass of maturing cells

I've played the unraveler, the parhelion
But even apocalypse is fleeting
There's no death, no ugly world

Sometimes I wonder if you're mythologizing me like I do you
Mythologizing me like I do you

We want our film to be beautiful, not realistic
Perceive me in the radiance of terror dreams
And you can betray me
You can, you can betray me

But teach me something wonderful
Crown my head, crowd my head
With your lilting effects
Project your fears on to me, I need to view them
See, there's nothing to them
I promise you, there's nothing to them

I'm so touched by your goodness
You make me feel so criminal
How do you keep it together?
I'm all, all unraveled

But you know, no matter where we are
We're always touching by underground wires

I've explored you with the detachment of an analyst
But most nights we've raided the same kingdoms
And none of our secrets are physical
None of our secrets are physical
None of our secrets are physical now
_________________________________

What do you guys think? Any other songs for the award of most touching lyrics ever?

Sir.Xx

They're good lyrics but I wouldn't call those lyrics "deep", not compared to say the Fleetwood Mac songs:

a) 'Landslide'

I took my love, I took it down
Climbed a mountain and I turned around
I saw my reflection in the snow covered hills
till the landslide brought me down

Oh, mirror in the sky
What is love
Can the child within my heart rise above
Can I sail thru the changing ocean tides
Can I handle the seasons of my life

Well, Ive been afraid of changing
cause Ive built my life around you
But time makes you bolder
Children get older
Im getting older too

Oh, take my love, take it down
Climb a mountain and turn around
If you see my reflection in the snow covered hills
Well the landslide will bring it down

If you see my reflection in the snow covered hills
Well maybe the landslide will bring it down

b) Gypsy
So I'm back to the velvet underground

Back to the floor
that I love.
To a room with some lace and paper flowers

Back to the gypsy that I was
to the gypsy that I was.
And it all comes down to you
well
you know that it does.
Well
lightning strikes
maybe once
maybe twice -
Ah
and it lights up the night
and you see your gypsy

You see your gypsy.
To the gypsy that remains faces freedom with a little fear.
I have no fear
I have only love.
And if I was a child and the child was enough

Enough for me to love
enough to love.
She is dancing away from me now
she was just a wish

She was just a wish and a memory is all that is left for you now.
You see your gypsy
oh
you see your gypsy.
Lightning strikes
maybe once
maybe twice
And it all comes down to you.
Lightning strikes
maybe once
maybe twice . . .

c) Sara
Wait a minute baby...
Stay with me awhile
Said youd give me light
But you never told be about the fire

Drowning in the sea of love
Where everyone would love to drown
And now its gone
It doesnt matter anymore
When you build your house
Call me home

And he was just like a great dark wing
Within the wings of a storm
I think I had met my match -- he was singing
And undoing the laces
Undoing the laces

Drowning in the sea of love
Where everyone would love to drown
And now its gone
It doesnt matter anymore
When you build your house
Call me home

Hold on
The night is coming and the starling flew for days
Id stay home at night all the time
Id go anywhere, anywhere
Ask me and Im there because I care

Sara, youre the poet in my heart
Never change, never stop
And now its gone
It doesnt matter what for
When you build your house
Ill come by

Drowning in the sea of love
Where everyone would love to drown
And now its gone
It doesnt matter anymore
When you build your house
Call me home

All I ever wanted
Was to know that you were dreaming
(theres a heartbeat
And it never really died)


And the Stevie Nicks' original

Edge Of Seventeen
Just like the white winged dove...
Sings a song...
Sounds like she's singing...
Whoo... whoo... whoo...
Just like the white winged dove...
Sings a song...
Sounds like she's singing...
Ooo baby... ooo... said ooo

And the days go by...
Like a strand in the wind...
In the web that is my own...
I begin again
Said to my friend, baby...
Nothin' else mattered

He was no more... than a baby then
Well he... seemed broken hearted...
Something within him
But the moment... that I first laid...
Eyes... on... him... all alone...
On the edge of... seventeen

Just like the white winged dove...
Sings a song...
Sounds like she's singing...
ooo baby... ooo... said ooo...
Just like the white winged dove...
Sings a song...
Sounds like she's singing...
Ooo baby... ooo... said ooo

I went today... maybe I will go again...
Tomorrow
And the music there it was hauntingly...
Familiar
And I see you doing...
What I try to do for me
With the words from a poet...
And the voice from a choir
And a melody... nothing else mattered

Just like the white winged dove...
Sings a song...
Sounds like she's singing...
ooo baby... ooo... said ooo
Just like the white winged dove...
Sings a song...
Sounds like she's singing...
Ooo baby... ooo... said ooo

The clouds... never expect it...
When it rains
But the sea changes colours...
But the sea...
Does not change
And so... with the slow... graceful flow...
Of age
I went forth... with an age old...
Desire... to please
On the edge of... seventeen

Just like the white winged dove...
Sings a song...
Sounds like she's singing...
Ooo baby... ooo... said ooo
Just like the white winged dove...
Sings a song...
Sounds like she's singing...
Ooo baby... ooo... said ooo

Well then suddenly...
There was no one... left standing
In the hall... yeah yeah...
In a flood of tears
That no one really ever heard fall at all
Oh I went searchin' for an answer...
Up the stairs... and down the hall
Not to find an answer...
Just to hear the call
Of a nightbird... singing...
Come away... come away...

Just like the white winged dove...
Sings a song
Sounds like she's singing...
Ooo... baby ooo... said ooo
Just like the white winged dove...
Sings a song...
Sounds like she's singing...
Ooo... baby ooo... said ooo

Well I hear you in the morning...
And I hear you...
At nightfall...
Sometime to be near you...
Is to be unable... to hear you...
My love...
I'm a few years older than you...

Just like the white winged dove...
Sings a song...
Sounds like she's singing...
Ooo baby... ooo... said ooo

I had to join the forum just to answer this question...

I have recently been really moved by a song by Gavin Rossdale called "Love Remains the Same"

This thread will be way long if everyone posts the full lyrics to each song, so here is a link instead...

http://www.music-lyrics-online.com/b...-the-same.html

Gary

this is deep:

HANDS HELD HIGH - LINKIN PARK

Turn my mic up louder I got to say something
Light weights steppin aside when we comin'

Feel it in your chest the syllables get pumping
People on the street they panic and start running

Words on loose leaf sheet complete coming
I jump on my mind, I summon the rhyme, I'm dumping

Healing the blind I promise to let the sun in
Sick of the dark ways we marched to the drum and

Jump when they tell us that they wanna see jumping
**** that I wanna see some fists pumping

Risk something, take back what's yours
Say something that you know they might attack you for

Cause I'm sick of being treated like I have before
Like it's stupid standing for what I'm standing for

Like this war's really just a different brand of war
Like it doesn't cater the rich and abandon poor

Like they understand you in the back of the jet
When you can't put gas in your tank

These ****ers are laughing their way to the bank and cashing their check
Asking you to have compassion and have some respect

For a leader so nervous in an obvious way
Stuttering and mumbling for nightly news to replay

And the rest of the world watching at the end of the day
In their living room laughing like "what did he say?"

[Bridge]
Amen
Amen
Amen
Amen
Amen

In my living room watching but I am not laughing
Cause when it gets tense I know what might happen

The world is cold the bold men take action
Have to react or get blown into fractions

Ten years old is something to see
Another kid my age drug under the jeep

Taken and bound and found later under the tree
I wonder if he thought the next one could be me

Do you see the soldiers they're out today
They brush the dust from bullet proof vests away

It's ironic at times like this you pray
But a bomb blew the mosque up yesterday

There's bombs in the buses, bikes, roads
Inside your market, your shops, your clothes

My dad he's got a lot of fear I know
But enough pride inside not to let that show

My brother had a book he would hold with pride
A little red cover with a broken spine

On the back, he hand wrote a quote inside
"When the rich wage war it's the poor who die"

Meanwhile, the leader just talks away
Stuttering and mumbling for nightly news to replay

And the rest of the world watching at the end of the day
Both scared and angry like "what did he say?"

[Bridge]
Amen
Amen
Amen
Amen
Amen

With hands held high into a sky so blue
As the ocean opens up to swallow you

With hands held high into a sky so blue
As the ocean opens up to swallow you

With hands held high into a sky so blue
As the ocean opens up to swallow you

With hands held high into a sky so blue
As the ocean opens up to swallow you

With hands held high into a sky so blue
As the ocean opens up to swallow you

With hands held high into a sky so blue
As the ocean opens up to swallow you



IF EVERYONE CARED- NICKLEBACK

From underneath the trees, we watch the sky
Confusing stars for satellites
I never dreamed that you'd be mine
But here we are, we're here tonight

Singing Amen, I'm alive
Singing Amen, I'm alive

If everyone cared and nobody cried
If everyone loved and nobody lied
If everyone shared and swallowed their pride
We'd see the day when nobody died
And I'm singing

Amen I, I'm alive
Amen I, I'm alive

And in the air the fireflies
Our only light in paradise
We'll show the world they were wrong
And teach them all to sing along

Singing Amen I'm alive
Singing Amen I'm alive

If everyone cared and nobody cried
If everyone loved and nobody lied
If everyone shared and swallowed their pride
We'd see the day when nobody died
If everyone cared and nobody cried
If everyone loved and nobody lied
If everyone shared and swallowed their pride
We'd see the day when nobody died

And as we lie beneath the stars
We realize how small we are
If they could love like you and me
Imagine what the world could be

If everyone cared and nobody cried
If everyone loved and nobody lied
If everyone shared and swallowed their pride
We'd see the day when nobody died

We'd see the day, we'd see the day
When nobody died
We'd see the day, we'd see the day
When nobody died
We'd see the day when nobody died

Hi everyone I'm just new here and had been looking for a great chance...Kindly anyone who knows the lyrics of SIN TU AMOR by 6TWENTY latino singers. In English Version is Without Your Love.Please kindly post it...thanks... rezajake

me I'd have to say "tears in heaven" by Eric Clapton. If you know why this song was written, you would agree with me.

Randy Crawford - Almaz
She only smiles
He only tells her
that she's the flowers, the wind and spring
In all her splendor sweetly surrendering
The love that innocence brings

**
Almaz, pure and simple
Born in a world where love survives
Now men will want her
'Cause life don't haunt her
Almaz, You lucky lucky thing

Now I watch closely
And I watch wholly
I can't imagine love so rare
She's young and tender
But will life bend her
I look around is she everywhere

** repeat

He throws her kisses
She shares his wishes
I'm sure he's keen without a doubt
With love so captive
So solely captive
I ask if I could play the part

** repeat

Almaz, You lucky lucky thing
Almaz, You lucky lucky thing

Dont Jump-Tokio Hotel

On top of the roof
The air is so cold and so calm
I say your name in silence
You don't want to hear it right now

The eyes of the city
Are counting the tears falling down
Each one a promise of everything
You never found

I scream in to the night for you
Don't make it true
Don't jump

The lights will not guide you through
They're deceiving you
Don't jump

Don't let memories go
Of me and you
The world down there
Out of view

Please don't jump

You open your eyes
But you can't remember what for
The snow falls quietly
You just can't feel it no more

Somewhere up there
You lost yourself in your pain
You dream of the end
To start all over again

I scream in to the night for you
Don't make it true
Don't jump

The lights will not guide you through
They're decieving you
Don't jump

Don't let memories go
Of me and you
The world is down there
Out of view

Please don't jump
Don't jump

I scream in to the night for you
Don't make it true
Don't jump

The lights will not guide you through
They're decieving you
Don't jump

Don't let memories go
Of me and you
The world is down there
Out of view

Please don't jump
Don't jump
And ïf all that can't hold you back
I'll jump for you



On The Edge-Tokio Hotel

It's getting light outside
She is still there
But no one cares
They sing Happy Birthday yesterday
Without love
Do you want to see
So flying through the night
This gift is what you need
You're coming be alright
Eyes closed and fall
Refr:
The first I'm on the edge
The sky will stay forever
Side to side with them
A moment that feels better
Dark is the light
I'm dying her side
She's not coming back

It's getting light outside
She cannot sleep
Cause time stand still
Someone's hand is touching her
She has no will
Each time when it hurts
She's just feel so alone
She doesn't care
And all her memories has long gone
Eyes closed and fall
Refr:
Closer to the edge
Cause time is even better
Dark is the light
I'm dying her side
She's not coming back

She shuts the door
She long for more and more
Just wants more
Everyone is watching her
And I'm so sad
But she doesn't care anymore
Refr:
And falling from the edge
The stars are even better
Dark is the light
I'm dying her side
She's not coming back,not coming back
The sky is casting over her last wish
Stays unsaid

Behind Blue Eyes - The Who

Had multiple times in my life that this song rang true.

i love these type of songs:

Broken by Lifhouse

Carry you Home by James Blunt

This Time by Jonathon Ryth-Meyers

Well, it comes as no suprise really, Mr Brightside by The Killers. I think some of the best songs ever written were over broken hearts, or lost loves...i know that sounds depressing...but i reckon is true. Mind you some amazing songs have been written about love as well....

I agree with you about Broken hears and lost loves! I am such a lover of sad music..!

yeah, i can understand where ya coming from Ultimate DJ.....i just think that one of the most brutal things you can ever go through is being cheated on....and believe me, i know. And all you ever hear ya friends say, is "cheer up, you'll be right mate", or "look on the brightside, ya got rid of her', but what they never see is how much it hurts inside. So ya end up walking around being Mr.Brightside for everyone else, going through hell on the inside. I dunno, it just really hit me this song.......

I know a lot of those songs, especially 10 Years' songs, they are really deep and ambiguous,
which makes them so difficult to interpret.

Recently I've been listening to a song by Rise Against (from their new album), which made me feel kinda horrified (it's not always easy to face the truths) and it really touched something inside of me. Here's the lyrics and the song, judge it yourself!

Rise Against - Hero of War

He said "Son, have you seen the world?
Well, what would you say if I said that you could?
Just carry this gun and you'll even get paid."
I said "That sounds pretty good."

Black leather boots
Spit-shined so bright
They cut off my hair but it looked alright
We marched and we sang
We all became friends
As we learned how to fight

A hero of war
Yeah that's what I'll be
And when I come home
They'll be damn proud of me
I'll carry this flag
To the grave if I must
Because it's a flag that I love
And a flag that I trust

I kicked in the door
I yelled my commands
The children, they cried
But I got my man
We took him away
A bag over his face
From his family and his friends

They took off his clothes
They pissed in his hands
I told them to stop
But then I joined in
We beat him with guns
And batons not just once
But again and again

A hero of war
Yeah that's what I'll be
And when I come home
They'll be damn proud of me
I'll carry this flag
To the grave if I must
Because it's a flag that I love
And a flag that I trust

She walked through bullets and haze
I asked her to stop
I begged her to stay
But she pressed on
So I lifted my gun
And I fired away

The shells jumped through the smoke
And into the sand
That the blood now had soaked
She collapsed with a flag in her hand
A flag white as snow

A hero of war
Is that what they see
Just medals and scars
So damn proud of me
And I brought home that flag
Now it gathers dust
But it's a flag that I love
It's the only flag I trust

He said, "Son, have you seen the world?
Well what would you say, if I said that you could?"

QUEEN - These are the days of our lives

Sometimes I get to feelin
I was back in the old days - long ago
When we were kids when we were young
Thing seemed so perfect - you know
The days were endless we were crazy we were young
The sun was always shinin - we just lived for fun
Sometimes it seems like lately - I just dont know
The rest of my lifes been just a show

Those were the days of our lives
The bad things in life were so few
Those days are all gone now but one thing is true
When I look and I find I still love you

You cant turn back the clock you cant turn back the tide
Aint that a shame
Id like to go back one time on a roller coaster ride
When life was just a game
No use in sitting and thinkin on what you did
When you can lay back and enjoy it through your kids
Sometimes it seems like lately - I just dont know
Better sit back and go with the flow

Cos these are the days of our lives
Theyve flown in the swiftness of time
These days are all gone now but some things remain
When I look and I find no change

Those were the days of our lives - yeah
The bad things in life were so few
Those days are all gone now but one things still true
When I look and I find
I still love you

I still love you

Queen, the best

M'aresei na mi leo polla,mi leo polla
M'aresei na koitao psila,
koitao psila st'ateleiota tragoudia
me ti skia mou na peto
na peto
na piano asteria sto vy8o
sto vy8o
vy8o tis mousikis sou
ki otan 8a peftei i pagonia
i pagonia
na kano kyklous san ologiomo
feggari sti skini sou

Translation:

I don't like many words
I like staring up high
at the never-ending songs
Flying with my shadow
Catching stars
In the depths of your music
and when it becomes cold
i'll be going around like a full moon
in your stage
