Thought this might be some fun, so…
What are some lines from song lyrics that really hit you the right way? It could be that it’s deep and meaningful, or just something that amuses you. I’ll start:
Isn’t it funny how laughter looks like crying with no sound, and raindrops taste like tears without the pain ~ Queensryche - Another Rainy Night (Without You)
Droplets of “yes” and “no” in an ocean of “maybe” ~ Faith No More - Falling to Pieces
A smile as sweet as flowers
Wilted so and soured
Black tears stain the cheeks
That once were so admired
~ Dave Matthews Band - The Dreaming Tree
Her lovers queued up in the hallway
I heard them scratching at the door
I tried to tell her about Marx and Engels,
God and Angels…
I don’t really know what for…
But she looked good in ribbons
The Sisters Of Mercy ~ Ribbons
Sleep Token - Look to Windward
Oh and I, I used to know myself.
Oh and you, you used to know me well.
Oh and I, I wish I could leave myself alone.
Oh and you, you wish you could make me whole.
Sleep Token - Gethsemane
What might be good for your heart, might not be good for my head.
What was there at the start, might not be there in the end.
Do you want to hurt me? Do you want to hurt me? Because nobody hurts me better.
Sleep Token - Infinite Baths
Drift with me, drift with me.
All this glory you did not earn, all these lessons you did not learn. You will drown in an endless sea.
If it’s blood that you want from me, you can empty my arteries. Will you halt this eclipse in me? Will you halt this eclipse in me? In me?
Teeth of god, blood of man, I will be, what I am.
Tom Waits and Massive Attack - Boots on the Ground [paraphrased]
Boots on the ground
Cut you off at the ankles
Throw the rest away
