Best song lyrics

[chief]

Post here what you think is the best piece of your favorite song lyrics with the title of it and singer/band.

I am going to be the first who posts.

... Most people think, great god will come from the sky
Take away everything and make everybody feel high
But if you know what life is worth
You will look for yours on earth
So now you see the light
You stand up for your rights ...

Get Up, Stand Up,

Bob Marley.

It's not so bad..it's not so bad

- Eminem in Stan

Look, if you had one shot, or one opportunity
To seize everything you ever wanted in one moment
Would you capture it? Or just let it slip?

Eminem in Lose yourself

I could go on and on with Eminem lyrics 😉

Quiet good! Keep posting 🙂

This should be in Media

"So if you're past approaches you, preaching comfort
Don't be fooled into a war you'll lose"

Splashdown - Games You Play

"I have never known the like of this
I've been alone and I have missed things
And kept out of sight
But other girls were never quite like this"

The Beatles (Paul McCartney) - I've Just Seen a Face

And probably my all time favorite:

"And the time will come when you see
we're all one and life flows on
within you and without you"

The Beatles (George Harrison) - Within You Without You

Ideally, I'd write that whole song down, but I'll just leave it at that to save space.

I got to be myself
I can't be no one else.

The Beatles have so many it's hard to pick out individual lyrics.

Moved to Media Discussions

But here are some good lyrics too 🙂

"I'm stretching but you're just out of reach, You should know, I'm
ready when you're ready for me, And I'm waiting for the right time, For
the day I catch your eye, To let you know, That I'm yours to hold"

 

[Zezima]

"I will never bother you
I will never promise to
I will never follow you
I will never bother you

Never speak a word again
I will crawl away for good

I will move away from here
You won't be afraid of fear
No thought was put in to this
I always knew it would come to this

Things have never been so swell
I have never failed to feel
Pain"

True, but I have a personal connection to that first song I posted, and the lyrics of Within You Without You may very well be my absolute favorite lyrics of all time, which I why I was able to pick those two.

If there's a better place you can take me,
A better life you can give me,
Whatever place I can start all over!
Then I would, never need what you gave me,
And never need you to save me,
And never feel like this life is over!
Feel like this life is over.

Fred Durst, Limp Bizkit - It'll be Okay

... And it's whispered that soon
If we all call the tune
Then the piper will lead us to reason

And a new day will dawn
For those who stand long
And the forests will
Echo with laughter ...

... And as we wind on down the road
Our shadows taller than our soul
There walks a lady we all know
Who shines white light and wants to show
How everything still turns to gold
And if you listen very hard
The truth will come to you at last
When all are one and one is all
To be a rock and not to roll ...

Stairway To Heaven,

Led Zeppelin.

Far East Movement sucks. Those guys are an embarrassment to hip hop.

... Hey Jude, don't make it bad
Take a sad song and make it better
Remember to let her into your heart
Then you can start to make it better

Hey Jude, don't be afraid
You were made to go out and get her
The minute you let her under your skin
Then you begin to make it better

And anytime you feel the pain, hey Jude, refrain
Don't carry the world upon your shoulders
For well you know that it's a fool who plays it cool
By making his world a little colder
Na na na, na na, na na na na ...

Hey Jude - Beatles

Lying beside you here in the dark
Feeling your heart beat with mine
Softly you whisper, you're so sincere
How could our love be so blind?

We sailed on together
We drifted apart
And here you are by my side

So now I come to you with open arms
Nothing to hide, believe what I say
So here I am with open arms
Hoping you'll see what your love means to me, open arms

Living without you, living alone
This empty house seems so cold
Wanting to hold you, wanting you near
How much I wanted you home

But now that you've come back
Turned night into day
I need you to stay

So now I come to you with open arms
Nothing to hide, believe what I say
So here I am with open arms
Hoping you'll see what your love means to me, open arms

Open Arms by Journey 🙂

 

[Jerlene]

If heaven and hell decide
That they both are satisfied
Illuminate the no's on their vacancy signs
If there's no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark

DEATH CAB FOR CUTIE - I Will Follow You Into The Dark

 

[Justin]

Hey, my high power
The world is spinnin', but I'm not afraid
Yeah, give me the power It's the beginnin', the beginnin' of another day.

"God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and the wisdom to know the difference.
Thy will,not mine,shall be done.
Amen."

Higher Power - Boston

I can't keep a straight face and say this is not the end
Not if you want it its upon us and I wanna say it's sinking in
If I was hasty maybe I was rushed along
I won't move into little boxes and then
not get the itch to move on

So think real slow
don't forget that yes is yes and no is no
Melting prints of grass and snow
Means I may forget the way to get back home
Cause this is the end if you want it
This is the end

You're not the first thing in my life I've loved and lost
Yeah I've thought worse things that
I might be less inclined to merely
just shrug off

You'll take me home
Like my family did my father did I know
you'll think real slow
But don't forget the speed that I can go away
Cause this is the end if you want it
Yeah this is the end

I've been convincing myself that I'm worthwhile
Cause I'm worth what I'll convince myself to be

I met the devil and I stared her in the eyes
Her hair had scales like silver serpents
I a statue, stood there mesmerized

I took the fire escape and made it out alive
Yeah I still burn from time to time but I've
a healing hand against my side

Blisters on my feet I crawled back home
Frozen from the sleet burned sand and stones
Nourished back to life by life alone
With one shake of the mane regain the throne


(If You Want It) by Relient K, lyrics from lyrics.com

 

[Jerlene]

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

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

Well, I've been afraid of changin'
'Cause I've built my life around you
But time makes bolder, children get older
I'm getting older too

Fleetwood Mac - Landslide

Great song lyrics guys.

... When I come down
And look around
I can't believe
The fantasy is gone like a memory
Out of my reach
Fading out from me
You're fading out from me

I've been living in a dream about you
And now I know you were all I ever wanted on my mind
And if I never see
My own reality
Well, I'm okay to leave it all behind
