Seether - Burrito

 

I try to hide myself

Give this to someone else

My hands are stained with scum

Wish I could wash it away

You keep taking, taking away

And keep breaking, breaking, break

 

I can't believe in yesterday

I feel you coming in

I can't just stand by and watch you

Save yourself as you fall from grace

When you come around, I won't be your sympathy

 

The worst is over now

You said it anyhow

My life in monochrome

Wish I could regain control

You keep taking, taking away

I keep faking, faking, fake

 

I can't believe in yesterday

I feel you coming in

I can't just stand by and watch you

Save yourself as you fall from grace

When you come around, I won't be your sympathy

 

Find me, feel me, fill me, then cut me up again

Find me, feel me, fill me, then cut me up

 

HATE

ME

HATE

 

I can't believe in yesterday

I feel you coming in

I can't just stand by and watch you

Save yourself as you fall from grace

When you come around, I won't be your sympathy

 

Save yourself as you fall from grace

When you come around, I won't be your sympathy

These are two of my favourite Billy Joel songs, that I like because together they show both sides of being a professional musician, one the false pop star image, and the other the genuine creator:

 

Billy Joel - Everybody Loves You Now

 

Baby all the lights are turned on you

Now you're in the center of the stage

Everything revolves on what you do

Ah, you are in your prime; you've come of age

 

And you can always have your way somehow

But everybody loves you now

 

You can walk away from your mistakes

You can turn your back on what you do

Just a little smile is all it takes

Yeah, you can have your cake and eat it too

 

Loneliness will get to you somehow

But everybody loves you now

 

Ah, they all want your white body

And they await your reply

Ah, but between you and me and the Staten Island ferry

So do I

 

All the people want to know your name

Soon there will be lines outside your door

Feelings do not matter in your game

Yeah, 'cause nothing's gonna touch you anymore

 

So your life is only living anyhow

And everybody loves you now

 

Close your eyes when you don't want to see

Stay at home when you don't want to go

Only speak to those who will agree

Yeah, and close your mind when you don't want to know

 

You have lost you innocence somehow

But everybody loves you now

 

Ah, you know that nothing lasts forever

And it's all been done before

Ah, but you ain't got the time to go to Cold Spring Harbor

No more

 

See how all the people gather 'round

Hey, isn't it a thrill to see them crawl?

Keep your eyes ahead and don't look down

Yeah, and lock yourself inside your sacred wall

 

This is what you wanted; ain't you proud?

'Cause everybody loves you now

 

Billy Joel - The Entertainer

 

I am the entertainer

And I know just where I stand

Another Serenader

And another long-haired band

Today I am your champion

I may have won your hearts

But I know the game, you'll forget my name

And I won't be here in another year

If I don't stay on the charts

 

I am the entertainer

And I've had to pay my price

The things I did not know at first

I learned by doin' twice

Ah, but still they come to haunt me

Still they want their say

So I've learned to dance with a hand in my pants

I let 'em rub my neck and I write 'em a check

And they go their merry way

 

I am the entertainer

Been all around the world

I've played all kinds of palaces

And laid all kinds of girls

I can't remember faces

I don't remember names

Ah, but what the hell

You know it's just as well

'Cause after a while and a thousand miles

It all becomes the same

 

I am the entertainer

I bring to you my songs

I'd like to spend a day or two

I can't stay that long

No, I've got to meet expenses

I got to stay in line

Gotta get those fees to the agencies

And I'd love to stay but there's bills to pay

So I just don't have the time

 

I am the entertainer

I come to do my show

You've heard my latest record

It's been on the radio

Ah, it took me years to write it

They were the best years of my life

It was a beautiful song

But it ran too long

If you're gonna have a hit

You gotta make it fit

So they cut it down to 3:05

 

I am the entertainer

The idol of my age

I make all kinds of money

When I go on the stage

Ah, you've seen me in the papers

I've been in the magazines

But if I go cold I won't get sold

I'll get put in the back in the discount rack

Like another can of beans

 

I am the entertainer

And I know just where I stand

Another Serenader

And another long-haired band

Today I am your champion

I may have won your hearts

But I know the game, you'll forget my name

I won't be here in another year

If I don't stay on the charts

[Dark Moth]

Radiohead: "There There"

 

In pitch dark I go walking in your landscape

Broken branches trip me as I speak

Just cos you feel it doesn't mean it's there

Just cos you feel it doesn't mean it's there

There's always a siren singing you to shipwreck (don't reach out, don't reach out [x2])

Stay away from these rocks we'd be a walking disaster (don't reach out, don't reach out [x2])

Just cos you feel it doesn't mean it's there (there's someone on your shoulder [x2])

Just coz you feel it doesn't mean it's there (there's someone on your shoulder [x2])

There there...

Why so green

And lonely [x3]

Heaven sent you

To me [x3]

We are accidents waiting

Waiting to happen

We are accidents waiting

Waiting to happen

[Darth Launch]

Smashing Pumpkins - Tonight, Tonight

 

Time is never time at all

You can never ever leave without leaving a piece of youth

And our lives are forever changed

We will never be the same

The more you change the less you feel

 

Believe, believe in me, believe

Believe that life can change

That you

Nile - Die Rache Krieg Lied Der Assyriche

 

Ia Namtaru

Ia Lammia

Ia Asaku

Ia Pazuzu

 

Ia Zixul zi Azkak

Ia Gula zi Pazu

Alal uggae Utukku Xul

Ia Ia Pazuzu

 

Ia Ningursu Ia Ia Umduggu

Shemti Shebui Nehenkau

Addu Nergal Arrallu

 

 

No way I'm going to translate that all. Let's just say that Nergal is an assyrian

demon god of vengeance, war and plague, and that the song is a war chant. Charming, ain't it?

[WinterSun]

Nile-Beneath Eternal Oceans Of Sand

 

 

In the cosmos

There is balm as well as bitterness

And that balm is Nepenthe.

 

Yet underneath endless oceans of sand

I have not forgotten

Those who had betrayed me.

Silent and unmovable,

I am not sorry

For I had hated the light.

 

Now I ride with the undead

Across the night-sky

And play by day

Amongst the catacombs of Nephren-Ka

In the sealed and unknown

Valley of Hadoth by the Nile.

 

I know that light is not for me

Save that of the moon over the rock tombs of Neb

Nor any debauchery save the unknown feasts of Nitokris

Beneath the great pyramid.

 

But in the loneliness of entombment,

I welcome the bitterness of alienage

 

 

 

Any Lovecraft fans will recognise the inspiration for this track...

[Cantousent]

Interesting song, Winter. It's a bit gloomy, but it's intriguing.

 

Reveilled: I'm a Billy Joel fan. I wouldn't say I'm a bit one, but I like his music.

[Dark Moth]

I was suprised to find out this was a Disney song, but I like it nonetheless. Not necessarily the lyrics, but I love listening to it. Ironically, I heard it on GTA: Vice City's soundtrack.

[LoneWolf16]

Not my typical brand of music...but, identifying with it is quite simple

 

Relient K "Which To Bury; Us Or The Hatchet"

 

I think you know what I'm getting at

I find it so upsetting that

the memories that you select you keep the bad but the good you just forget

 

and even though I'm angry I can still say

I know my heart will break the day

when you peel out and drive away

I can't believe this happened

 

And all this time I never thought

that all we had would be all for not

 

No, I don't hate YOU

don't want to fight YOU

know I'll always love you

but right now I just don't like you

No, I don't hate YOU

don't want to fight YOU

know I'll always love you

but right now I just don't like you

cause you took this too far

 

Make your decision and don't you dare think twice

go with your instincts along with some bad advice

this didn't turn out the way I thought it would at all

you blame me but some of this is still your fault

 

I tried to move you, but you just wouldn't budge

I tried to hold your hand but you'd rather hold your grudge

I think you know what I'm getting at

you said goodbye and I just don't want you regretting that

 

No, I don't hate YOU

don't want to fight YOU

know I'll always love you

but right now I just don't like you

No, I don't hate YOU

don't want to fight YOU

know I'll always love you

but right now I just don't like you

cause you took this too far

 

and wisdom always chooses

these black eyes and these bruises

over the heartache that they say

never completely goes away

(I just can't believe this happened

and one day we'll see this come around)

 

No, I don't hate YOU

don't want to fight YOU

know I'll always love you

but right now I just don't like you

No, I don't hate YOU

don't want to fight YOU

know I'll always love you

but right now I just don't like you

cause you took this too far

 

what happened to us

i heard that it's me we should blame

what happened to us

why didn't you stop me from turning out this way

and know that I don't hate you

and know that I don't want to fight you

and know that I'll always love you

but right now I just don't...

[Musopticon?]

Interesting song, Winter.  It's a bit gloomy, but it's intriguing.

Radiohead - Let Down

 

Transport, motorways and tramlines,

Starting and then stopping,

Taking off and landing,

The emptiest of feelings,

Disappointed people, clinging on to bottles,

And when it comes it's so, so, disappointing.

 

Let down and hanging around,

Crushed like a bug in the ground.

Let down and hanging around.

 

Shell smashed, juices flowing

Wings twitch, legs are going,

Don't get sentimental,

It always ends up drivel.

One day, I am gonna grow wings,

A chemical reaction,

Hysterical and useless

Hysterical and

 

Let down and hanging around,

Crushed like a bug in the ground.

Let down and hanging around.

 

Let down,

Let down,

Let down.

 

You know, you know where you are with,

You know where you are with,

Floor collapsing, falling, bouncing back

And one day, I am gonna grow wings,

A chemical reaction, [You know where you are,]

Hysterical and useless [you know where you are,]

Hysterical and [you know where you are,]

 

Let down and hanging around,

Crushed like a bug in the ground.

Let down and hanging around.

The Impression That I Get

 

Have you ever been close to tragedy

Or been close to folks who have

Have you ever felt a pain so powerful

So heavy you collapse

I've never had to knock on wood

But I know someone who has

Which makes me wonder if i could

It makes me wonder if

I've never had to knock on wood

And I'm glad i haven't yet

Because I'm sure it isn't good

that's the impression that I get

have you ever had the odds stacked up so high

You need a strength most don't possess

Or has it ever come down to do or die

You've got to rise above the rest

I've never had to knock on wood

But I know someone who has

Which makes me wonder if i could

It makes me wonder if

I've never had to knock on wood

And I'm glad I haven't yet

Because I'm sure it isn't good

that's the impression that I get

I'm not a coward,

I've just never been tested

I'd like to think that if I was,

I would pass

Look at the tested and think there but for the grace go

I might be a cowards,

I'm afraid of what I might find out

I've never had to knock on wood

But I know someone who has

Which makes me wonder if i could

It makes me wonder if

I've never had to knock on wood

And I'm glad i haven't yet

Because I'm sure it isn't good

That's the impression that I get

It wasn't really that violent :shrugs:

 

Bad Religion-Let them eat War

 

 

Theres a prophet on a mountain and he's making up dinner

With long division and riding crop

Anybody can feel like a winner

When it's served up piping hot

 

But the people aren't looking for a handout

They're America's working corps

Can this be what they voted for?

 

Let them eat war

Let them eat war

That's how to ration the poor

Let them eat war

Let them eat war

 

There's an urgent need to feed

Declining pride

 

From the force to the union shops

The war economy is making new jobs

But the people who benefit most

Are breaking bread with their benevolent hosts

 

You never stole from the rich to give to the poor

All he ever gave to them was a war

And a foreign enemy to deplore

 

Let them eat war

Let them eat war

That's how to ration the poor

Let them eat war

Let them eat war

 

There's an urgent need to feed

Declining pride

 

We've got to kill 'em and eat em'

Before they reach for their checks

Squeeze some blue collars

make them bleed from their necks

Seize a few dollars from the people who sweat

Cause it's freedom or death and they won't question it

At a job site the boss is god like

Conditioned workhorses park at a stoplight

Seasoned vets with their feet in nets

A stones throw away from a rock fight

But not tonight, feed 'em death

 

Here comes another ration (feed them death)

Cause they're the finest in the nation (feed them death)

But there's nothing left to feed them

When it's freedom or it's death

 

Let them eat war

Let them eat war

That's how to ration the poor

Let them eat war

Let them eat war

 

There's an urgent need to feed

Um, ok then. I was about to write down Mayhem - "A Grand Declaration of War" <_<

 

Fair enough,

Opeth - Demon of the Fall

 

Silent dance with death.

Everything is lost.

Torn by the arrival of Autumn.

The blink of an eye, you know it's me.

You keep the dagger close at hand.

 

And you saw nothing.

False love turned to pure hate.

The wind cried a lamentation

before merging with the grey.

 

Demon of the fall.

 

Gasping for another breath.

She rose, screaming at closed doors.

Seductive faint mist forging

through the cracks in the wall.

 

I shant resist.

In tears for all of eternity.

She turned around and faced me for the first time.

 

Run away, run away.

Just one second, and I was left with nothing.

Her fragrance still pulsating through damp air.

That day came to an end.

 

And she had lost in me, her CREDENCE.

I can see you're a big Opeth fan. Does anyone else read the lyrics and imagine different stories to fit them?

Opeth - "The Moor"

 

The sigh of summer upon my return

Fifteen alike since I was here

Bathed in deep fog, blurring my trail

Snuffing the first morning rays

 

Weary from what might have been ages

Still calm with my mind at peace

Would I prosper or fall, drain the past

The lapse of the moment took it's turn

 

I was foul and tainted, devoid of faith

Wearing my death-mask at birth

The hands of God, decrepit and thin

Cold caress and then nothing

I was taken away from my plight

A treason bestowed to the crowd

Branded a jonah with fevered blood

Ungodly freak, defiler

 

Pale touch, writhing in the embers

Damp mud burning in my eyes

All the faces turned away

And all would sneer at my demise

 

Outcast with dogmas forged below

Seared and beaten, banished from where I was born

No mercy would help me on my way

In the pouring rain nothing is the same

 

Vows in ashes

I pledge myself to no-one

Seethed and spiteful

All shudder at the call of my name

If you'll bear with me

You'll fear of me

 

There is no forgiveness in these eyes

For any of you but one

Dispel the mist for now

Melinda is the reason why I've come

 

She is waterdrops over the pyre

A thistle in my hands

Stained and torn, aged and brown

Virtous shell with kindred innocense

 

I awoke from the miasma

Passing swiftly through the moor

This is here, waters stir

And in the distance all that was lost

If you'll bear with me

You'll fear of me

You'd never leave me to

A fate with you

[Gabrielle]

Faer Factory "Replica"

 

 

Huhh!

 

There is no love

 

I am a duplication

Innocently

I was conceived

So violently

There was no love

There was no love for me

There was only hatred

 

I am rape

I am hate

I am rape

I am hate

 

Every day I feel anonymous hate

Forever in the shadow of disgrace

 

I am rape

I am hate

I am rape

I am hate

 

Filled with pain

A bruised and darkened soul

Spare me from the

Life that

Lemon Jelly - Page One

 

Imagine if you can what it is like to have no posessions at all.

Nothing. Very few people are able to imagine such a thing, to have nothing at all.

Well let us, you and I, try to imagine something a hundred times harder.

Not just to have nothing at all, but when there was nothing at all.

The very beginning of time. The dawn of history. Page one.

Nothing at all.

The earth itself without form, and void.

Only an emptyness, formless, a dark endless waste of water.

No living thing, no plant or tree, no bird or animal.

Nothing.

This is before people. Before anything at all. A void. Sitting silent. Still.

And then...

Nothing.
