    The Unforgiven by Metallica and Sir Psycho Sexy by RHCP's. The latter being too saucy to post, and the former requiring too much energy expenditure.

    Persephone-Wishbone Ash


    There's a light that shines on Persephone,
    Always a fire in her eyes,
    And the last time that I went to her
    I could tell things weren't right.

    I just don't care to see your years go wasting,
    There's no longer magic in your eyes.

    In your time, you could outshine everybody else around,
    But your off-stage ways might be a bore -
    You take a bow, you take a fall.

    I came to be here in the footlights,
    To live with you through every song,
    And your face displays a peaceful field.
    I can't believe the curtain has to fall.

    Now I know your years were never wasted,
    Tonight I saw the magic in your eyes.


    i love the lyrics for this song

    Avril Lavigne
    Nobody's home:

    I couldn't tell you
    Why she felt that way
    She felt it everyday
    I couldn't help her
    I just watched her make
    The same mistakes again

    What's wrong, what's wrong now
    Too many, too many problems
    Don't know where she belongs
    Where she belongs

    (Chorus)
    She wants to go home but nobody's home
    That's where she lies broken inside
    No place to go, no place to go
    To dry her eyes broken inside

    Open your eyes (open your eyes)
    And look outside
    Find the reason why (why)
    You've been rejected (you've been rejected)
    And now you can't find
    What you left behind

    Be strong, be strong now
    Too many too many problems
    Don't know where she belongs, where she belongs

    (Repeat Chorus)

    Her feeling she hides
    Her dream she can't find
    She's losing her mind
    She's fallen behind
    She can't find her place
    She's losing her faith
    She's fallen from grace
    She's all over the place (yeah!)

    (Repeat Chorus)

    She's lost inside, lost inside (oh, oh uhh)
    She's lost inside, lost inside (oh, oh uhh) oooh ..


    Nobody's Fool:

    Step up step up (step up)
    Step up step up (step up)
    Step up step up
    Step up

    Fall back, take a look at me and you'll see
    I'm for real, I feel what only I can feel
    and if that don't appeal to you
    Let me know and I'll go cuz I flow
    better when my colors show,
    and that's the way it has to be.
    Honestly, cuz creativity could never bloom in my room
    I'd throw it all away before I lie,
    So don't call me with a compromise
    Hang up the phone I've got a backbone stronger than yours.

    (step up) la la... (step up) la la... (step up) La la...
    Yeah...
    If you're tryin' to turn me into someone else
    It's easy to see I'm not down with that
    (Not nobody's fool) I'm not nobody's fool
    If you're tryin' to turn me into something else
    I've seen it enough and I'm over that
    (Not nobodys fool) I'm not nobody's fool
    If you wanna bring me down
    Go ahead and try
    Go ahead and try.

    Don't know you think you know me like yourself,
    But I fear that you're only telling me what I wanna hear
    But do you give a damn?
    Understand that I can't not be what I am.
    I'm not the milk and cheerios in your spoon.
    It's not that simple here we go not so soon.
    I might have fallen for that when I was fourteen
    And a little more green,
    but it's amazing what a couple of years could mean.

    If you're tryin' to turn me into someone else
    It's easy to see I'm not down with that
    (Not nobody's fool) I'm not nobody's fool
    If you're tryin' to turn me into something else
    I've seen it enough and I'm over that
    (Not nobodys fool) I'm not nobody's fool.

    If you wanna bring me down
    then go ahead and try
    go ahead and try.

    Oh...
    Go ahead and try
    Try to look me in the eye but you'll never see inside
    Until you realize (realize)

    Things are tryin' to settle down
    Just try to figure out
    Exactly what I'm about
    If it's with or without you I don't need yor doubt in me

    If you're tryin' to turn me into someone else
    It's easy to see I'm not down with that
    (Not nobody's fool) I'm not nobody's fool
    If you're tryin' to turn me into something else
    I've seen it enough and I'm over that
    (Not nobody's fool) I'm not nobody's fool
    If you wanna bring me down
    then go ahead and try...

    (Go ahead and try) La la... (Go ahead and try) La la...
    Yeah...Go ahead and try
    You'll be laughing out loud when I'm playin' to my own crowd
    Try...

    Happy Ending:

    Oh, oh
    So much for my happy ending
    oh oh
    So much for my happy ending
    oh oh, oh...

    Let's talk this over
    It's not like we're dead
    Was it something I did?
    Was it something you said?

    Don't leave me hangin'
    In a city so dead
    Held up so high
    On such a breakable thread

    You were all the things I thought I knew
    And I thought we could be

    CHORUS
    You were everything, everything that I wanted
    We were meant to be, supposed to be, but we lost it
    And all of our memories, so close to me, just fade away
    All this time you were pretending
    So much for my happy ending
    So much for my happy ending

    You've got your dumb friends
    I know what they say
    They tell you I'm difficult
    But so are they
    But they don't know me
    Do they even know you?
    All the things you hide from me
    All the <img src="/xxx.gif"><img src="/xxx.gif"><img src="/xxx.gif"><img src="/xxx.gif"> that you do

    You were all the things I thought I knew
    And I thought we could be

    CHORUS

    It's nice to know that you were there
    Thanks for acting like you cared
    And making me feel like I was the only one
    It's nice to know we had it all
    Thanks for watching as I fall
    And letting me know we were done

    CHORUS X 2
    So much for my happy ending
    Oh, Oh
    So much for my happy ending
    Oh Oh
    So much for my happy ending
    Oh Oh Oh Oh


    Backstreet Boys:

    As Long As You Love Me:

    Although loneliness has always been a friend of mine
    I'm leaving my life in your hands
    People say I'm crazy and that I am blind
    Risking it all in a glance
    And how you got me blind is still a mystery
    I can't get you out of my head
    Don't care what is written in your history
    As long as you're here with me

    I don't care who you are
    Where you're from
    What you did
    As long as you love me
    Who you are
    Where you're from
    Don't care what you did
    As long as you love me

    Every little thing that you have said and done
    Feels like it's deep within me
    Doesn't really matter if you're on the run
    It seems like we're meant to be

    I don't care who you are(who you are)
    Where you're from(where you're from)
    What you did
    As long as you love me(I don't know)
    Who you are(who you are)
    Where you're from(where you're from)
    Don't care what you did
    As long as you love me

    As long as you love me

    As long as you love me

    I've tried to hide it so that no one knows
    But I guess it shows
    When you look into my eyes
    What you did and where you're comin' from
    I don't care, as long as you love me, baby.

    I don't care who you are (who you are)
    Where you're from (where you're from)
    What you did
    As long as you love me (you love me)
    (repeat to fade)
    who you are (who you are)
    Where you're from (where you're from)
    Don't care what you did
    As long as you love me (you love me)

    Who you are(who you are)
    Where you're from
    what did you did
    as long as you love me

    who you are
    where you're from(where you're from)
    as lon as you love me

    who you are as long
    as you love me
    What you did (I don't care)
    as long as you love me

    Show Me The Meaning Of Being Lonely:

    Show me the meaning of being lonely

    So Many words for the broken heart
    It's hard to see in a crimson love
    So hard to breathe
    Walk with me, and maybe
    Nights of light so soon become
    Wild and free I can feel the sun
    Your every wish will be done

    They tell me...

    Show me the meaning of being lonely
    Is this the feeling I need to walk with
    Tell me why, I can't be there where you are
    There's something missing in my heart

    Life goes on as it never ends
    Eyes of stone observe the trends
    They never say forever gaze if only...
    Guilty roads to an endless love
    (Endless love)
    There's no control
    Are you with me now
    Your every wish will be done

    They tell me...
    Show me the meaning of being lonely
    Is this the feeling I need to walk with
    (Tell me why)
    Tell me why, I can't be there where you are
    There's something missing in my heart

    There's nowhere to run
    I have no place to go
    Surrender my heart, body, and soul
    How can it be you're asking me to feel the things you never show

    You are missing in my heart
    Tell me why I can't be there where you are

    Show me the meaning of being lonely
    Is this the feeling I need to walk with
    (Tell me why)
    Tell me why, I can't be there where you are
    There's something missing in my heart

    Show me the meaning of being lonely
    (Being lonely)
    Is this the feeling I need to walk with
    Tell me why, I can't be there where you are
    There's something missing in my heart


    Shape Of My Heart:

    Hmm, yeah, yeah
    Baby, please try to forgive me
    Stay here, don't put out the glow
    Hold me now don't bother if every minute it makes me weaker
    You can save me from the man that I've become, oh yeah.

    Lookin' back on the things I've done
    I was tryin' to be someone
    I played my part, and kept you in the dark
    Now let me show you the shape of my heart

    Sadness is beautiful, loneliness is tragical
    So help me I can't win this war, oh no
    Touch me now don't bother if every second it makes me weaker
    You can save me from the man I've become......

    Lookin' back on the things I've done
    I was tryin' to be someone
    I played my part, and kept you in the dark
    Now let me show you the shape of my heart

    I'm here with my confession
    Got nothing to hide no more
    I don't know where to start
    But to show you the shape of my heart

    I'm lookin' back on things I've done
    I never wanna play the same old part
    I'll keep you in the dark
    Now let me show you the shape of my heart...........

    Lookin' back on the things I've done
    I was tryin' to be someone
    I played my part, and kept you in the dark
    Now let me show you the shape of my heart

    Lookin' back on the things I've done
    I was tryin' to be someone
    I played my part, and kept you in the dark
    Now let me show you the shape of.......
    Show you the shape of my heart


    Drowning:

    Don't pretend you're sorry
    you know you're not
    You know you got the power to make me weak inside
    And girl you leave me breathless
    But it's ok
    Cause you are my survival
    Now hear me say...

    I can't imagine life without your love
    And even forever don't seem like long enough

    Chorus:
    'Cause everytime I breathe I take you in
    And my heart beats again
    Baby I can't help it
    You keep me drowning in your love
    Everytime I try to rise above
    I'm swept away by love
    Baby I can't help it
    You keep me drowning in your love

    Maybe I'm a drifter
    maybe not
    Cause I have known the safety of floating freely in your arms
    I don't need another lifeline
    It's not for me
    Cause only you can save me
    Oh, can't you see

    I can't imagine life without your love
    And even forever don't seem like long enough

    Chorus:
    Cause everytime I breathe I take you in
    And my heart beats again
    Baby I can't help it
    You keep me drowning in your love
    And everytime I try to rise above
    I'm swept away by love
    Baby I can't help it
    You keep me drowning in your love

    Go on and pull me under
    Cover me with dreams, yeah
    Love me mouth to mouth now
    You know I can't resist
    Cause you're the air that I breathe

    Chorus:
    Everytime I breathe I take you in
    And my heart beats again
    Baby I can't help it
    Keep me drowning in your love
    And everytime I try to rise above
    I'm swept away by love
    Baby I can't help it
    Keep me drowning in your love

    Baby I can't help it
    Keep me drowning in your love

    Whoa,
    Got me drowning

    Keep me drowning in your love

    Baby I can't help it

    Everytime I breathe I take you in (AJ: I do)
    And my heart beats again (a.j: ohhhh)
    Baby I can't help it (Brian: Baby I can't help it)
    Keep me drowning in your love
    Every time I try to rise above

    I'm swept away by love

    Baby I can't help it

    You keep me drowning in.... your love

    That's all i can think for now..

    HIM are rubbish and you know it.

    As for actual lyrics, there's quite a few. Taproot's Poem describes a problem I have quite well, and it's good for me to listen to if it crops up on me (which is does from time to time). Rage's Killing In the Name of, mainly because a lot of people don't know what that song's about until they sit down and really listen to the lyrics. Then the song seems a heck of a lot more sinister. Pearl Jam's Black - 'nuff said. And of course...

    Metallica - SAD BUT TRUE!

    I've got this obsession of adding "SAD BUT TRUE!" into random Metallica songs, thusforth:

    "Exit light, Enter Night, Take my hand, you know it's sad but true!"

    "Adrenaline starts to flow, you're thrashing all around, acting like a maniac... SAD BUT TRUE!"

    "St. Anger, SAD BUT TRUE!"
    There is no signature here. Move along.

    Love You Like I Do
    On my heart I'll bear the shame
    No prayer can ease the pain

    No one will love you
    No one will love you the way I do
    No one will love you
    Love you like I do

    And there's no escape
    Just countless mistakes

    No one will love you
    No one will love you the way I do
    No one will love you
    Love you like I do

    It will never be the same
    Witness trust fade away

    No one will love you
    No one will love you the way I do
    No one will love you
    Love you like I do

    No one will love you
    No one will love you the way I do
    No one will love you
    Love you like I do

    Love you like I do
    Love you like I do [4x]

    ac/dc - highway to hell
    Living easy, living free
    Season ticket on a one-way ride
    Asking nothing, leave me be
    Taking everything in my stride
    Don't need reason, don't need rhyme
    Ain't nothing I would rather do
    Going down, party time
    My friends are gonna be there too

    I'm on the highway to hell

    No stop signs, speed limit
    Nobody's gonna slow me down
    Like a wheel, gonna spin it
    Nobody's gonna mess me round
    Hey Satan, payin' my dues
    Playing in a rocking band
    Hey Momma, look at me
    I'm on my way to the promised land

    I'm on the highway to hell
    (Don't stop me)

    And I'm going down, all the way down
    I'm on the highway to hell
    to live is to die

    Scar tissue that I wish you saw

    Close your eyes and I’ll kiss you ’cause
    With the birds I’ll share
    With the birds I’ll share
    This lonely view
    With the birds I’ll share
    This lonely view
    Push me up against the wall
    Young kentucky girl in a push-up bra
    Fallin’ all over myself
    To lick your heart and taste your health ’cause
    With the birds I’ll share
    This lonely view...

    Blood loss in a bathroom stall
    Southern girl with a scarlet drawl
    Wave good-bye to ma and pa ’cause
    With the birds I’ll share
    With the birds I’ll share
    This lonely view
    With the birds I’ll share
    This lonely view

    Soft spoken with a broken jaw
    Step outside but not to brawl
    Autumn’s sweet we call it fall
    I’ll make it to the moon if I have to crawl and
    With the birds I’ll share
    This lonely view...

    Scar tissue that I wish you saw
    Sarcastic mister know it all
    Close your eyes and I’ll kiss you ’cause

    Bon Jovi - Always

    This romeo is bleeding
    But you can’t see his blood
    It’s nothing but some feelings
    That this old dog kicked up

    It’s been raining since you left me
    Now I’m drowning in the flood
    You see I’ve always been a fighter
    But without you I give up

    Now I can’t sing a love song
    Like the way it’s meant to be
    Well, I guess I’m not that good anymore
    But baby, that’s just me

    And I will love you, baby - always
    And I’ll be there forever and a day - always
    I’ll be there till the stars don’t shine
    Till the heavens burst and
    The words don’t rhyme
    And I know when I die, you’ll be on my mind
    And I’ll love you - always

    Now your pictures that you left behind
    Are just memories of a different life
    Some that made us laugh, some that made us cry
    One that made you have to say goodbye
    What I’d give to run my fingers through your hair
    To touch your lips, to hold you near
    When you say your prayers try to understand
    I’ve made mistakes, I’m just a man

    When he holds you close, when he pulls you near
    When he says the words you’ve been needing to hear
    I’ll wish I was him ’cause those words are mine
    To say to you till the end of time

    Yeah, I will love you baby - always
    And I’ll be there forever and a day - always

    If you told me to cry for you
    I could
    If you told me to die for you
    I would
    Take a look at my face
    There’s no price I won’t pay
    To say these words to you

    Well, there ain’t no luck
    In these loaded dice
    But baby if you give me just one more try
    We can pack up our old dreams
    And our old lives
    We’ll find a place where the sun still shines

    And I will love you, baby - always
    And I’ll be there forever and a day - always
    I’ll be there till the stars don’t shine
    Till the heavens burst and
    The words don’t rhyme
    And I know when I die, you’ll be on my mind
    And I’ll love you - always

    Nirvana - On A Plain

    I'll start this off without any words
    I got so high that I scratched 'till I bled
    I love myself better than you
    I know it's wrong so what should I do?
    The finest day that I ever had
    Was when I learned to cry on command
    I love myself better than you
    I know it's wrong so what should I do?
    I'm on a plain
    I can't complain
    I'm on a plain
    My mother died every night
    It's safe to say, don't quote me on that
    I love myself better than you
    I know it's wrong so what should I do?
    The black sheep got blackmailed again
    Forgot to put on the zip code
    I love myself better than you
    I know it's wrong so what should I do?
    I'm on a plain
    I can't complain
    I'm on a plain
    Somewhere I have heard this before
    In a dream of memory restored (Alt: In a dream my memory has stored)
    As a defense I'm neutered and spayed
    What the hell am I trying to say?
    It is now time to make it unclear
    To write off lines that don't make sense
    I love myself better than you
    I know it's wrong so what should I do?
    And one more special message to go
    And then I'm done, then I can go home
    I love myself better than you
    I know it's wrong so what should I do?

    Queen - Made In Heaven

    I'm taking my ride with destiny
    Willing to play my part
    Living with painful memories
    Loving with all my heart
    Made in heaven, made in heaven
    It was all meant to be, yeah
    Made in heaven, made in heaven
    That's what they say
    Can't you see
    That's what everybody says to me
    Can't you see
    Oh I know, I know, I know that it's true
    Yes it's really meant to be
    Deep in my heart
    I'm having to learn to pay the price
    They're turning me upside down
    Waiting for possibilities
    Don't see too many around
    Made in heaven, made in heaven
    It's for all to see
    Made in heaven, made in heaven
    That's what everybody says everybody says to me
    It was really meant to be
    Oh can't you see
    Yeah, everybody, everybody says
    Yes it was meant to be
    Yeah, yeah
    When stormy weather comes around
    It was made in heaven
    When sunny skies break through behind the clouds
    I wish it could last forever, yeah
    Wish it could last forever, forever
    I'm playing my roll in history
    Looking to find my goal
    Taking all this misery
    But giving it all my soul
    Made in heaven, made in heaven
    It was meant to be
    Made in heaven, made in heaven
    That's what everybody says everybody says
    Wait and see, it was really meant to be
    So plain to see
    Yeah, everybody, everybody, everybody tells me so
    Yes it was plain to see, yes it was meant to be
    Written in the stars...
    Written in the stars...

    My favorite line was from Toby Keith's "It works for me":

    I live out on the backroads, where I walk my country mile,
    An' if it's so good in the city, why don't anybody smile?
    Oh, that traffic's always heavy, an' that air ain't fit to breathe.
    I ain't sayin' that it's wrong for you; it just don't make sense to me...


    As for songs, my favorites have always been the ones that had a good story to them...

    Headed for Wyomin', in 1882.
    A woman, a team, and a wagon, gonna make our dreams come true.
    Settled in the foothills of the Big Horn Mountain slope;
    Life was sweet, an' we lived on the meat of the deer an' the antelope.

    Cut house-logs up on the mountain, and with a team we hauled 'em down.
    Peeled 'em and we stacked 'em up; cleared some bottom-ground.
    Traded for some cattle; turned 'em out on the open range...
    Skies were blue, an' we never knew how things were gonna change.

    Oh, Powder River, you're muddy and you're wide...
    How many men have died along your shores?
    When you brand a man a rustler, he's gotta take a side...
    There's no middle ground in this Johnson County War.

    Neighbors stopped by one night, while I was outside choppin' wood.
    Filled me in on the local news; ain't none of it sounded good.
    Said there's been some cattle-stealin' by some no-'count outlaw band,
    and we've all been branded rustlers by the big ranchers of this land.

    Well, it was us against the cattlemen, and the years just made it worse.
    First the drought and then the tough winter; Johnson County'd been dealt a curse.
    Then there came the story, 'bout the two dry-gulch attacks:
    Ranger Jones and John Tillman, both shot in the back.

    Oh, Powder River, you're muddy and you're wide...
    How many men have died along your shores?
    When you brand a man a rustler, he's gotta take a side...
    There's no middle ground in this Johnson County War.

    Then one night 'bout suppertime, riders stopped by chance.
    Said the cattlemen and their hired guns have just burned the KC Ranch.
    Two men have died this mornin', shot down in the snow,
    And the vigilante army was on the march to Buffalo.

    Well, the County was in an uproar, and every man saddled up to ride.
    Caught the cattlemen at the TA Ranch, and surrounded all four sides.
    Hailed the house with bullets; we swore they were gonna pay;
    But the cavalry came across the plains, and once again they saved the day....

    Well, they marched 'em off to Cheyenne; no one went to jail.
    The cattlemen were all turned loose, and their hired guns hit the trail.
    And I guess the only justice wasn't much, to say the least;
    But last winter me an' mine ate mighty fine, on the cattle-baron's beef....

    Oh, Powder River, you're muddy and you're wide...
    How many men have died along your shores?
    When you brand a man a rustler, he's gotta take a side...
    There's no middle ground in this Johnson County War.
    There's no middle ground in this Johnson County War...

    "So you think you can tell
    heaven from hell?
    Blue skies from pain?
    Can you tell a green field
    from a cold steel rail?
    A smile from a viel?
    So you think you can tell.
    And did they get you trade
    your heroes for ghosts?
    Hot ashes for trees?
    Hot air for a cool breeze
    Cold comfort for change?
    And did you exhange
    a walk on part in the war
    for the lead role in a cage?

    How I wish, How I wish you were here
    We're just two lost souls
    swimming in a fish bowl
    year after year.
    Runnin' over the same old ground
    What have we found?
    The same old fear.
    Wish you were Here."
    - Pink Floyd, Wish You Were Here

    Also happens to be my favorite song.

    I don't know..... I guess, you can compare this to Rammstein.... one or two of the songs/lyrics and their darkness is enjoyable, but after an hour of this kind of music I think about committing suicide....


    Hm, my favourite lyrics are from Dave Mathews Band..... 'The Bid Eyed Fish'
