Truth in lyrics.

[shakaka]

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"

 

[hm0ng]

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."

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

 

[Cruel__Machine]

Awakened by the throbbing
I can smell her cunt
The steam crawls from the sewers
Soon gebins to hunt
Deep inside it must go to feast
Devour tender vaginal meat
The scent is strong
My prey is near
I stalk her home and enter the rear

As She steps into the shower I pounce through the glass
Stab her repeatedly with a shard as I enter her ass
She tries to scream, but just gasps and chokes
Bloody foam sprays through her shredded throat
Phallic Bloodlust
Obey I must
I can't control it's hunger...

amidoinitrite?

 

[r0b0t1]

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

 

[creatorofworlds]

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"

 

[Big Poppa]

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

 

[creatorofworlds]

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

 

[Jazz00006]

I love little girls they make me feel so good
I love little girls they make me feel so bad
When they're around they make me feel
Like I'm the only guy in town
I love little girls they make me feel so good

I wanna make violent love
To you by the moon above
I wanna make violent love to you

I wanna kiss every night
To squeeze and hold you tight
I wanna make violent love to you

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

 

[Damien0124]

If we're the flagship of peace and prosperity
We're taking on water and about to fuckin' sink
No one seems to notice, no one even blinks
The crew all left the passengers to die under the sea

[Chorus]
Countdown, to the very end,
Equality, an invitation that we wont extend
Ready aim, pull the trigger now,
in time you firmly secure your place in hell

State of the union address,
reads war torn country still a mess
the words: power, death, and distorted truth
are read between the lines of the red, white, and blue

[Chorus]

Your place in hell [x2]

'Guilty' is what our graves will read,
no years, no family, we did
nothing (nothing) to stop the murder of
a people just like us

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.

 

[stankinrange]

"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.

[Muffinator]

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:

We've all seen the man at the liquor store beggin' for your change
The hair on his face is dirty, dreadlocked and full o' mange
He asks a man for what he could spare with shame in his eyes
"Get a job, you fuckin' slob" is all he replies
God forbid you ever had to walk a mile in his shoes
'Cause then you really might know what it's like to sing the blues.

CHORUS:
Yeah, then you really might know what it's like (what it's like)
(x3)

Yeah, then you really might know what it's like

Marry got pregnant from a kid named Tom who said he was in love
He said "Don't worry 'bout a thing, Baby Doll, I'm the man you've been dreamin' of"
But three months later he say he won't date or return her calls
And she swear, "God damn, if I find that man, I'm cuttin' off his balls"
And she heads for the clinic and she gets some static walkin' through the door
They call her a killer and they call her a sinner and they call her a whore
But God forbid you ever had to walk a mile in her shoes
'Cause then you really might know what it's like to have to choose

American Idiot:

Don't wanna be an American idiot
Don't want a nation under the new media
And can you hear the sound of hysteria?
The subliminal mind fuck America

CHORUS:
Welcome to a new kind of tension
All across the alien nation
Where everything isn't meant to be okay
Television dreams of tomorrow
We're not the ones meant to follow
For that's enough to argue

Well maybe I'm the fagot America
I'm not a part of a redneck agenda
Now everybody do the propaganda
And sing along in the age of paranoia

CHORUS

Don't wanna be an American idiot
One nation controlled by the media
Information age of hysteria
It's calling out to idiot America

Imagine:

Imagine there's no Heaven
It's easy if you try
No Hell below us
Above us, only sky

Imagine all the people
Livin' for the day

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothin' to kill or die for
And no religion too

Imagine all the people
Livin' life at peace

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man

Imagine all the people
Sharin' all the world

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one

Empty Sky:

I talk to God sometimes, but nobody's listenin'
I talk to God sometimes, but nobody's there
What's done is done no salvation for me
I talk to God sometimes, but nobody's there you see it's

CHORUS:
An empty sky, an empty sky with dyin' stars & satellites

Yeah
Empty sky

In the end I know there's nothin' else
Yeah in the end I know I'm talkin' to myself
What's done is done I will not be deceived
What's done is done & I know all that I can see is

CHORUS

Yeah!

What's done is done now, what's gone is over (x2)

I talk to God sometimes, but God knows why
I talk to God sometimes, but I get no reply
I will not die it's the world that will end, & once I'm gone I will not be back again it's

CHORUS

Trogdor:

TROGDOR!!!
TROGDOR!!!

Trogdor was a man
I mean, he was a dragon man
Or maybe he was just a dragon

But he was still TROGDOR!!!
TROGDOR!!!

Burninating de countryside,
Burninating de peasants
Burninating all de peoples
And their thatched-roof COTTAGES!!!

THATCHED-ROOF COTTAGES!!!

Woah, this has wicked dueling guitar solos!
It's like Squeedly versus Meedley over here
Go Squeedly
Go Squeedly!
SQUEEDLY WINS!!

When all de land is in ruin,
And burnilation has forsaken de countryside,
Only one guy will remain.

My money's on TROGDOR!!!
TROGDOR!!!

And de Trogdor comes in de NIIIGHT!!!

Montage:

The hour's approaching to give it your best
And you've got to reach your prime
That’s when you need to put yourself to the test
And show us a passage of time
We're gonna need a montage (montage)
Ooh it takes a montage (montage)

Show lots of things happening at once
Remind everyone what’s goin' on (what’s goin' on)
And with every shot show a little improvement
To show it all would take too long
That’s called a montage (montage)
Ooh we want montage (montage)

In anything if you want to go
From just a beginner to a pro
You need a montage (montage)
Even rocky had a montage (montage)

(Montage)

(Montage)

Anything if you want to go
From just a beginner to a pro,
You need a montage (montage)
Ooh it takes a montage (montage)

Always fade out in a montage
If you fade out it seems like more time has passed in a montage
Montage

Why Does This Always Happen To Me:

I was watching my TV one night when they broke in with a special report
About some devastating earthquake in Peru
There were thirty thousand crushed to death, even more were buried alive
On the Richter scale it measured 8.2
And I said, "God, please answer me one question...
Why'd they have to interrupt The Simpsons just for this?"
What a drag, 'cause I was taping it and everything
And now I'll have to wait for the rerun to see the part of the show I missed

CHORUS:
Why does this always happen?
Why does this always happen to me?
Why does this always happen?
(Why) Why does this always happen to me?
Babababa, bababababa, babababa, bababababa

I was driving down the highway when all the traffic slowed to a crawl
There was a 12-car pile-up, everybody dead
And I saw brains and guts and vital organs splattered everywhere
As well as my friend Robert's disembodied head
And I thought - Poor Rob, I just had lunch with him
Hey, wait a minute, he still owes me money - what a jerk
Well, there's five bucks that I'm never gonna see again
Plus now, on top of everything else, it looks like I'm gonna be late to work

Oh,
CHORUS
Babababababa

Oh the other day my boss said we were running low on toner
And he told me I should buy another case
Well, I told him I was busy, but he still just kept on asking
So I turned around and stabbed him in the face (right in the face)
Oh, and wouldn't you know it? My knife got stuck
I guess that's probably bound to happen now and then
But I'm afraid I may have bent the tip a little
And I know that blade will never ever be quite as sharp again
Quite as sharp again!

Oh, tell me,
Why does this always happen?
Why does this always happen to me?
Why does this always happen?
Why does this always happen to me?
Why does this always happen to me?
Why does this always happen to me?
Why does this always happen to me?
Why does this always happen to me?

 

[hardxcore]

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

(And I wanna suck my dad

That all depends on what genre you listen to.
