Truth in lyrics.

Have you ever listened to a song, not only just the beat and the instrumental part, but really listened to the message they are trying to get across?

Post your lyrical quotes that you have found to be a good message, or just something that you have noticed.

Example: From Avenged Sevenfold's new song Critical Acclaim:


"All the way from the east to the west
We've got this high society looking down on this very foundation
Constantly reminding us that our actions are the cause of all their problems
Pointing the fingers in every direction
Blaming their own nation for who wins elections
They've never contributed a fucking thing to the country they love to criticize"

 

There's a lot but I thought I'd quote some stuff by Tupac. To anyone who doesn't like it or understand, don't comment. Buttseks.

"They got money for wars, but can't feed the poor
Say there ain't no hope for the youth and the truth is
it ain't no hope for tha future
And then they wonder why we crazy"
- Keep Ya Head Up

"Hahahaha, you ain't knowin what we mean by starin through the rearview
So since you ain't knowin what we mean let me break down understandin
The world, the world is behind us
Once a motherfucker get an understanding on the game
and what the levels and the rules of the game is
Then the world ain't no trick no more
The world is a game to be played
So now we lookin at the world, from like, behind us
Niggaz know what we gotta do, just gotta put our mind to it and do it
It's all about the papers, money rule the world
Bitches make the world go round
Real niggaz do they wanna do, bitch niggaz do what they can't"
-Starin At The World Through My Rearview

 

Eminem, Mosh:

"Let the president answer a higher anarchy
Strap him with an Ak-47, let him go, fight his own war
Let him impress daddy that way."

 

i was thinking of that exact song when i was reading this you read my mind, i was gunna post it but you beat me to it

 

very nice choice of lyrics, and song, can't pick a better myself.

 

amidoinitrite?

 

Okay, sorry, but I really think you are truly screwed up in the head.

 

The second I read your post, the lyrics of the song "Walkers" by Hit Baby Arrow filled my head. I have lived 162 years, and from my exprerience, all the wisdom man has produced can be summed up in the words:
"Walkers,
Never Relenting,
Always Walking Somewhere,
Seaching For the Holy Grail of Their Time,
Beauty is Vengence,
A Stolen Sense of Hope,
And Now Watch the Grass Grow,
Quenching it's Thirst From the Hose"

 

Ahhh!! I have a perfect example for this!

In the song Crank that Soulja Boy by Soulja Boy

He states, "YUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUH!"

Which, honestly... I have no idea what that means.

Cruel__Machine if you have a heart you wont be cruel to me

 

Dear Cruel__Machine,
Please dont be cruel to me!
Love,
Leopold

 

Not as good as Cruelpants', but my band is from the 80's

 

Great lyrics, but I know better, just have to look for them

 

Uuuh... You mean people don't NORMALLY do that??

That's how i choose music i like...
It's why i'm a huge fan of Switchfoot.

 

"If I had to choose between her and the sun then I'd be one nocturnal son of a gun"

its pretty self-explanatory, saying that he'd choose the girl he loves over the sun, pretty deep.

thats by far like the best rhyme. ever.

 

that is pretty ownage i was thinking about it too

 

hellz yah.

 

I usually don't pay attention to lyrics since they're completely meaningless most of the time, but there are occasionally some good messages to be found...

What It's Like:

American Idiot:

Imagine:

Series of Tubes (Net Neutrality Dance Mix):

Empty Sky:

Trogdor:

Montage:

Why Does This Always Happen To Me:

 

ok i know it's by a gay band and all.
But the lyrics are very meaningful...

Shit, piss, fuck, cunt, cocksucker, motherfucker, tits, fart, terd, and twat
Shit, piss, fuck, cunt, cocksucker, motherfucker, tits, fart, terd, and twat
Shit, piss, fuck, cunt, cocksucker, motherfucker, tits, fart, terd, and twat
Shit, piss, fuck, cunt, cocksucker, motherfucker, tits, fart, terd, and twat
I fucked your mom
(And I wanna suck my dad
and my mommy too
oh, is this thing on?)

 

lol no what you mean

 

That all depends on what genre you listen to.
