Favorit lines from songs

[Robbie88]

I have been digging these lyrics lately:

Arcade Fire-Neighborhood #1 (Tunnels) www.youtube.com/watch?v=DxA2kR3r5bM

And... if the snow buries my
My neighborhood
And if my parents are crying
Then I'll dig a tunnel
From my window to yours
Yeah, a tunnel from my window to yours

You climb out the chimney
And meet me in the middle
The middle of the town
And since there's no one else around
We let our hair grow long
And forget all we used to know
Then our skin gets thicker
From living out in the snow

You change all the lead
Sleeping in my head
As the day grows dim
I hear you sing a golden hymn

Then we tried to name our babies
But we forgot all the names that
The names we used to know
But sometimes, we remember our bedrooms
And our parents' bedrooms
And the bedrooms of our friends
Then we think of our parents
Well, what ever happened to them

You change all the lead
Sleeping in my head to gold
As the day grows dim
I hear you sing a golden hymn
The song I've been trying to sing

Purify the colors, purify my mind
Purify the colors, purify my mind
And spread the ashes of the colors
Over this heart of mine!

That Dog - He's Kissing Christian

He's kissing Christian and it's making him feel backwards
He's kissing Christian 'cause he's such a successful bachelor
He's kissing Christian and it's making my back hurt
He's kissing Christian and it's making you cry

Come out, come out, wherever you are
Come out, come out wherever you are
Come out, come out, come out
Come out, come out, wherever you are

He's kissing Christian and he's taking it like a beating
He's kissing Christian and it's seeming like he's cheating
He's kissing Christian and it's keeping me from eating
He's kissing Christian and it's making you high

Come out, come out, come out
Come out, come out, wherever you are

Come out, come out, wherever you are
Come out, come out, wherever you are
Come out, come out, come out
Come out, come out, wherever you are

He's kissing Christian
He's kissing Christian
He's kissing Christian and it's making you die

[Wednesday]

In case you can't see
Way beyond your nose
And you can't hear a flower laugh

If you can't speak
Without having to listen to your voice
Utilizing your heart

Friend, listen to me,
Not everything has a a reason
A path is done with our feet

There's a world to discover
And a life to uncover
On arms of a final script.

Sometimes when I wake I feel
That dreams are the reality

Drink, sing, dream
Feel that the wind
Has been cast for you
Live, listen, and talk
Doing so
With the heart

Feel that the rain
Kisses your face
When you make love
Shout with your soul
Shout so loud,
That of your life you'll be,
Friend, the only actor.

In case your opinion
Fits a yes or a no
And you don't know how to correct

If you can define
Hate or love
Friend, what a pity.

Not everything is white,
Or black: It's gray
Everything depends on the hue
Search and learn how to distinguish

The moon can warm
And the sun your nights cool
Trees die standing.

I've seen a spring crying.
When watching it's waters to go sea.


Drink, sing, dream
Feel that the wind
Has been cast for you
Live, listen, and talk
Doing so
With the heart

Feel that the rain
Kisses your face
When you make love
Shout with your soul
Shout so loud
That in your life you'll be,
Friend, the only actor.

I had to translate this from Spanish to English. It's a great song though. It's from a Spanish (actually Spanish as in from Spain ) metal/rock band. It makes more sense in Spanish, however... obviously. But couldn't resist putting it up here.

[strawberrysweetie]

^ Hey, Wednesday...what's the title of the song and the band exactly?

It's a secret. ;D

But. If you look through your messages, you might find the answer you are looking for, young one.

Entre Nous

We are secrets to each other
Each one's life a novel
No one else has read
Even joined in bonds of love
We're linked to one another
By such slender threads

We are planets to each other
Drifting in our orbits
To a brief eclipse
Each of us a world apart
Alone and yet together
Like two passing ships

[Chorus:]
Just between us
I think it's time for us to recognize
The differences we sometimes fear to show
Just between us
I think it's time for us to realize
The spaces in between
Leave room for you and I to grow

We are strangers to each other
Full of sliding panels
An illusion show
Acting well rehearsed routines
Or playing from the heart?
It's hard for one to know

[Chorus]

We are islands to each other
Building hopeful bridges
On a troubled sea
Some are burned or swept away
Some we would not choose
But we're not always free

From Johnny Cash's song "Folsom Prison Blues":

"But those people keep a-movin',
And that's what tortures me."

[strawberrysweetie]

"And it rips my life away, but it's a great escape..."

- "No Rain" by Blind Melon

The rest of the song is great too, of course...I just really noticed this line today.

Minako "mooki" Obata - The World of Midnight


Someday I want to run away
To the world of midnight
Where the darkness fill the air
Where it's icy cold

Where nobody has a name
Where living is not a game
There, I can hide my broken heart
Dying to survive

There, no one can see me cry
The tears of my lonely soul
I'll find peace of mind
In the dark and cold world of midnight

[strawberrysweetie]

"You Are a Tourist" - Death Cab for Cutie

"And if you feel just like a tourist in the city you were born
Then it's time to go
And define your destination
There's so many different places to call home. . ."

This has been my favorite song for only about the past 3 weeks...

[strawberrysweetie]

Flowers Never Bend With the Rainfall - Simon & Garfunkel

"Through the corridors of sleep
Past the shadows dark and deep
My mind dances and leaps in confusion.
I don't know what is real,
I can't touch what I feel
And I hide behind the shield of my illusion.

So I'll continue to continue to pretend
My life will never end,
And flowers never bend
With the rainfall.

The mirror on my wall
Casts an image dark and small
But I'm not sure at all it's my reflection.
I am blinded by the light
Of God and truth and right
And I wander in the night without direction.

So I'll continue to continue to pretend
My life will never end,
And flowers never bend
With the rainfall.

No matter if you're born
To play the king or pawn
For the line is thinly drawn between joy and sorrow,
So my fantasy
Becomes reality,
And I must be what I must be and face tomorrow.

So I'll continue to continue to pretend
My life will never end,
And flowers never bend
With the rainfall."


I don't think this was ever a popular one of theirs, though I'm not sure why, as it's definitely one of my favorites.

Love the whole song, but I suppose the line in bold is a particular standout for me.

"...sweet dreams and flying machines in pieces on the ground..."

- "Fire and Rain" by James Taylor

[strawberrysweetie]

"(chorus) Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me
I’m not sleepy and there is no place I’m going to
Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me
In the jingle jangle morning I’ll come followin’ you

Though I know that evenin’s empire has returned into sand
Vanished from my hand
Left me blindly here to stand but still not sleeping
My weariness amazes me, I’m branded on my feet
I have no one to meet
And the ancient empty street’s too dead for dreaming

(CHORUS)

Take me on a trip upon your magic swirlin’ ship
My senses have been stripped, my hands can’t feel to grip
My toes too numb to step
Wait only for my boot heels to be wanderin’
I’m ready to go anywhere, I’m ready for to fade
Into my own parade, cast your dancing spell my way
I promise to go under it

(CHORUS)

Though you might hear laughin’, spinnin’, swingin’ madly across the sun
It’s not aimed at anyone, it’s just escapin’ on the run
And but for the sky there are no fences facin’
And if you hear vague traces of skippin’ reels of rhyme
To your tambourine in time, it’s just a ragged clown behind
I wouldn’t pay it any mind
It’s just a shadow you’re seein’ that he’s chasing

(CHORUS)

Then take me disappearin’ through the smoke rings of my mind
Down the foggy ruins of time, far past the frozen leaves
The haunted, frightened trees, out to the windy beach
Far from the twisted reach of crazy sorrow
Yes, to dance beneath the diamond sky with one hand waving free
Silhouetted by the sea, circled by the circus sands
With all memory and fate driven deep beneath the waves
Let me forget about today until tomorrow

(CHORUS)"

- "Mr. Tambourine Man," Bob Dylan

[strawberrysweetie]

"You're gone, gone, gone away
I watched you disappear
All that's left is a ghost of you..."

- "Little Talks" by Of Monsters & Men

"Even the sun sets in paradise. . . . . . .

All those fairy tales are full of shit
One more fucking love song, I'll be sick."

"Payphone" by Maroon 5

Furthest from the Sun - The Family Cat

She wore a face irregular
She lived the kind of life no man could have endured
She hid herself away, this one, she scarce had
chance to grow
Austere and cold she lived amongst the winds,
the wilds, the snows

For beauty often falls on those who are
furthest from the sun
Beauty often falls on those who are
furthest from the sun

She greeted every morning as if a new life had begun
She wore no face save of herself as she gazed
into the sun
A small house on a lonely hill contained her
like a pearl
So perfect for a secret life and secret other world

For beauty often falls on those who are
furthest from the sun
Beauty often falls on those who are
furthest from the sun

Sleep gently while you fall
Sleep gently where you fall
For I can't sleep, I can't sleep at all
No I can't sleep, I can't sleep at all

For beauty often falls on those who are
furthest from the sun
Beauty often falls on those who are
furthest from the sun
