Lyrical phrases that for some reason get to you

[Koi]

Put them all here, no need to explain why...lyrics are not to be analyzed.


Here's a couple:


Radiohead-videotape

You are my center when I spin away...


oceansize-new pin

Like a breeze levitating, to raise a sunken soul

 

[Arasmas]

all lyrics blow, except bob dylan obviously

 

[HemeHaci]

Mikael Åkerfeldt - Draped within a fate I could not change, and always welcoming winter's epilogue.

 

[To rid you disease]

when we share the silence she knows what I'm saying, words though unspoken are changing heart - dan swanö - add reality

 

[hexwind]

And I should contemplate the change to ease the pain -In my time of Need
Weakness (all the song)
and some others that i can't think of right now.

 

[Shapeless)))]

Code - A Cloud Formed Teardrop Asylym

I am ready to face my fears
As my consciousness disappears
To the internal sanctuary of seers
Where the clouds last for years & years

 

[Antyman]

Anything by Dia Psalma really. no band come close to them lyric-wise.

other than that:
anything by Katatonia or Trent Reznor.
"Raubtier - Kamphund" is the best song to warm up with before a fight or something. I listen to it everytime before I play a football match.

 

[Koi]

all lyrics blow, except bob dylan obviously

Almost sig worthy...nah...too predictable.

 

[Koi]

Code - A Cloud Formed Teardrop Asylym

I am ready to face my fears
As my consciousness disappears
To the internal sanctuary of seers
Where the clouds last for years & years

that's actually awesome when you think about it

 

[beast from the east]

"Here at the edge of this world
Here I gaze at a pantheon of oak, a citadel of stone
If this grand panorama before me is what you call God. . .
Then God is not dead..."

 

[Koi]

That there
That's not me
I go
Where I please
I walk through walls
I float down the Liffey
I'm not here
This isn't happening
I'm not here
I'm not here

 

[greasyboat]

i love all opeth lyrics honestly

 

[Prophet178]

^ Even "will the children cry, if their mother dies?"

 

[Lateralus14]

Beast from the East's posted lyrics win.

 

[Wander]

Devin Townsend - Earth Day

Eat your beets, recycle...recycle...
Don't eat your beets, recycle...recycle

The message is; 'THERE IS NO MESSAGE'

Babe, you better not ever think,
Staring into the drink...get out of my mind...
Cause I may not be the one to say,
is there no other way we could do this another day?

I saw God.

She said...'If you don't believe me, guaranteed you'll never leave me'
On your way, and out of my time
But I didn't even know if it was true or just a result of chemicals


And so on. Love all the lyrics in this song really.

 

[Hemlok]

"Here at the edge of this world
Here I gaze at a pantheon of oak, a citadel of stone
If this grand panorama before me is what you call God. . .
Then God is not dead..."

Love those lyrics and that song.


Like snowfall, you cry a silent storm
Your tears paint rivers on this oaken wall. . .
Amber nectar, misery ichor
. . .cascading in streams of hallowed form
For each stain, a forsaken shadow

And the lyrics in all of "You were but a ghost in my arms". I also love the vocal passage at the end of Bloodbirds, "Our fortress is burning against the grain of the shattered sky" etc.

John Haughm certainly has a way with words.

 

[greasyboat]

^ Even "will the children cry, if their mother dies?"

especially

 

[Antyman]

^ Even "will the children cry, if their mother dies?"

I love that. reminds me of "I finally found you, my personal slaughter
As an appetizer,I let you taste my daughter" by Bloodbath.

 

[Jackehh]

eaten by bloodbath has some really cool lyrics

 

[PIM]

"Here at the edge of this world
Here I gaze at a pantheon of oak, a citadel of stone
If this grand panorama before me is what you call God. . .
Then God is not dead..."

Completely agree. Also, pretty much anything Katatonia. Can't think of any in particular right now though.
