Music and Lyrics

Lists, lists, and more lists. It seems that I've entered into a list phase with my posts lately. I must admit that I love list posts because they are easy to do and I don't have to think much about them. I know, I suck, I'm not actually posting anything thats all that valuable but its fun for me! So here we go with yet another list post, this time I'm going to put up some of my favorite lyrics. So, without further adieu, here are some of my favorite lyrics (in no particular order of course).

  • Bright Eyes - Road to Joy
    • Well I could have been a famous singer
      If I had someone else’s voice
      But failure’s always sounded better
      Lets fuck it up boys, make some noise!

  • Marilyn Manson - Last Day On Earth
    • The dogs slaughter each other softly
      Love burns it's casualties
      We are damaged provider modules
      Spill the seeds at our children's feet
      I'm so empty here without you
      I know they want me dead

  • Marilyn Manson - Fight Song
    • You'll never grow up to be a big-
      rock-star-celebrated-victim-of-your-fame
      They'll just cut our wrists like
      cheap coupons and say that death
      was on sale today

  • Nine Inch Nails - The Wretched
    • the clouds will part and the sky cracks open
      and god himself will reach his fucking arm through
      just to push you down
      just to hold you down

  • Nine Inch Nails - The Great Below
    • Ocean pulls me close
      And whispers in my ear
      The destiny I've chose
      All becoming clear
      The currents have their say
      The time is drawing near
      Washes me away
      Makes me disappear

      I descend from grace
      In arms of undertow
      I will take my place
      In the great below

  • Nine Inch Nails - Love is not Enough
    • Hey, the closer we think we are
      Well it only got us so far
      Now you got anything left to show
      No no I didn't think so
      Hey, the sooner we realize
      We cover ourselves with lies
      But underneath we're not so tough
      And love is not enough

  • Nine Inch Nails - Sunspots
    • Now I just stare into the sun
      And I see everything I've done
      I think I could have been someone
      But I can't stop what has begun
      When everything is said and done
      And there is no place left to run
      I think I used to be someone
      Now I just stare into the sun

  • Converge - The Broken Vow
    • Those nights we had and the trust we lost
      The sleep that fled me and the heart I lost
      It all reminds me
      Just how callous and heartless the true cowards are
      And I write this for the loveless
      And for the risks we take
      I'll take my love to the grave
      As tired and worn it is
      I'l take my love to the grave

  • Converge - Phoenix in Flames
    • She burns as bright as the sun
      and she falls darker than night
      She shines as light as these days
      And she fades faster than time
      Phoenix in flames

  • Converge - You Fail Me
    • you fail me with every fatal crush
      you fail me with every abandoned love
      you fail me with your inferno fuck me eyes
      that burn as fuel for my city and its neon lights

  • Bright Eyes - Lets Not Shit Ourselves (To Love and to be Loved)
    • And so I've learned to retreat at the first sign of danger.
      I mean, why wait around, if it's just to surrender?
      An ambition, I've found, can lead only to failure.
      I do not read the reviews.
      No, I am not singing for you.
There you have it, some of my favorite lyrics! Perhaps a little boring for you to read, but I had fun so I figured I'd post this.
