Favorite verses in songs

"Vivimos siempre juntos" by Nacho Cano:

"Subimos la montaña de
riñas y batallas,
vencimos al orgullo
sopesando las palabras.
Pasamos por los puentes
de celos y de historias,
prohibimos a la mente
confundirse con
memorias.
Nadamos por las olas de
la inercia y la rutina,
con la ayuda del amor.
vivimos siempre juntos, y
moriremos juntos,
allá donde vayamos
seguirán nuestros asuntos.
No te sueltes la mano que el viaje es infinito,
y yo cuido que el viento no despeine tu
flequillo,
y llegará el momento
que las almas se confundan en un mismo
corazón".

[Søren]

This isn't one of my favorite verses, but I think it's kinda funny, with some truth:
The Miracle (Of Joey Ramone), U2:

We got language to communicate.
Religion so I can love and hate.
Music so I can exaggerate my pain,
And give it a name.

And give it a name.

That's actually quite accurate, in my opinion.


"Even if the whole world becomes your enemy
I will protect you
So just be there smiling and laughing"
- Servant of Evil by Len Kagamine (English translation)


"Even if I say
It'll be alright
Still I hear you say
You want to end your life
Now and again we try
To just stay alive
Maybe we'll turn it all around
'Cause it's not too late
It's never too late

No one will ever see
This side reflected
And if there's something wrong
Who would have guessed it..."
- Never too Late by Three Days Grace


"I don't wanna do the things you say
I don't wanna play the game you play
I just wanna be myself
And walk the road without pretending
I just wanna live my life, be true
So many things there are that I will do
When I'm looking back the road
At least I can say: I did it my way"
- I Did it My Way by Revolution Renaissance

[Luftwaffles]

"Read all about it" by Emeli Sande.

"You've got the words to change a nation
But you're biting your tongue
You've spent a life time stuck in silence
Afraid you'll say something wrong
If no one ever hears it how we gonna learn your song?

So come on, come on
Come on, come on
You've got a heart as loud as lightning
So why let your voice be tamed?
Maybe we're a little different
There's no need to be ashamed
You've got the light to fight the shadows
So stop hiding it away
Come on, come on

I wanna sing, I wanna shout
I wanna scream 'til the words dry out
So put it in all of the papers,
I'm not afraid
They can read all about it
Read all about it, oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh

At night we're waking up the neighbors
While we sing away the blues
Making sure that we're remembered, yeah
'Cause we all matter too
If the truth has been forbidden
Then we're breaking all the rules".

[Søren]

"Oh my story is not the oldest of it's kind.
I was too touched to see you clearly,
far too young to realize I had loved so dearly you,
who's world I had designed,
but the sweet smoke came with mirrors
and it brought tears to my wide eyes.
Dying just to see you...
dying since I misconstrued your blue heart,
black eyes, feigning falling, words I won't forget.
I died right when I saw you while you shared that cigarette.

Oh I saw you every time I closed my eyes,
in the Hughes film I had scored,
produced and starred in, in my mind.
I could recite you, well, I'd written every line...
but you strayed far from my flawless script
on which I'd spent a lifetime!
Falling over dead.
Dying since I had misread your blue heart,
black eyes, feigning falling, words I won't forget.
I died right when I saw you while you shared that cigarette."
-Veronica Sawyer Smokes, AFI

(I'm glad that this isn't me (at least, I don't think it's me) , but I can clearly see this being my reaction. Love these lyrics.)

[Dawnwing]

From "One More Day Above The Roses" by Gaelic Storm:

Work like you don't need money, don't know how much things cost.
Love like you've never been hurt, love like you've never lost.
And dance like no one's watching, as often as you can,
And when you drink, drink like, you're a true-blood Irishman!
Live every day like it's your last,
They're going by, way too fast!

[Luftwaffles]

"In this life" by Delta Goodrem:

"I was nurtured, I was sheltered
I was curious and young
I was searching for that something
Trying to find it on the run

Oh, and just when I stopped looking
I saw just how far I'd come
In this life, in this life

You give me love, you give me light
Show me everything's been happening
I've opened up my eyes, I'm following

Three steps fight an honest fight
Two hearts that can start a fire
One love is all I need in this life

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
In this life
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa

I have faltered, I have stumbled
I have found my feet again
I've been angry and I've been shaken
Found a new place to begin

And my persistence to make a difference
Has led me safe into your hands
In this life, in this life

You give me love, you give me light
Show me everything's been happening
I've opened up my eyes, I'm following

Three steps fight an honest fight
Two hearts that can start a fire
One love is all I need in this life".

[Skyblade]

From "One Day Too Late" by Skillet:

"Tick tock hear the clock countdown
Wish the minute hand could be rewound
So much to do and so much I need to say
Will tomorrow be too late

Feel the moment slip into the past
Like sand through an hourglass
In the madness I guess I just forget
To do all the things I said

Time passes by
Never thought I'd wind up
One step behind
Now I've made my mind up

Today I'm gonna try a little harder
Gonna make every minute last longer
Gonna learn to forgive and forget
'Cause we don't have long, gonna make the most of it

Today I'm gonna love my enemies
Reach out to somebody who needs me
Make a change, make the world a better place
'Cause tomorrow could be one day too late
One day too late
One day too late

Tick tock hear my life pass by
I can't erase and I can't rewind
Of all the things I regret the most I do...
Wish I'd spent more time with you

Here's my chance for a new beginning
I saved the best for a better ending
And in the end I'll make it up to you, you'll see
You'll get the very best of me

...

Your time is running out
You're never gonna get it back
Make the most of every moment
Stop saving the best for last "

[Jetthebinturong]

This one doesn't have some deep meaning, I just like it.

This is gospel
For the fallen ones
Locked away in permanent slumber
Assembling their philosophies
From pieces of broken memories.
...
Their gnashing teeth and criminal tongues
Conspire against the odds
But they haven't seen the best of us yet.
...
This is gospel
For the vagabonds
N'er-do-wells and insufferable b-rds
Confessing their apostasies
Led away by imperfect impostors.
...
Don't try to sleep through the end of the world
Bury me alive
'Cause I won't give up without a fight.
~ This is Gospel, Panic! At the Disco. (Swearing)

Do or die
You'll never make me
Because the world
Will never take my heart
Go and try
You'll never break me
We want it all
We want to play this part.

I won't explain
Or say I'm sorry
I'm unashamed
I'm gonna show my scar
Give a cheer
For all the broken
Listen here
Because it's who we are.
~ Welcome to the Black Parade, My Chemical Romance.

They're gonna clean up your looks
With all the lies in the books
To make a citizen out of you
Because they sleep with a gun
And keep an eye on you son
So they can watch all the things you do.

Because the drugs never work
They're gonna give you a smirk
'Cause they got methods of keeping you clean
They're gonna rip up your heads
Your aspirations to shreds
Another cog in the murder machine.
~ Teenagers, My Chemical Romance. (Swearing)

Cleaned up corporation progress
Dying in the process
Children that can talk about it
Living on the webways
People moving sideways
Sell it 'til your last days
Buy yourself the motivation
Generation nothing
Nothing but a dead scene
Product of a white dream
I am not the singer that you wanted
But a dancer
I refuse to answer
Talk about the past, sir
Wrote it for the ones that want to get away.
~ SING, My Chemical Romance.

You were called like a curtain,
split like a second,
broken like a sword stuck in a rock
forged for a hero,
birthed forth for a heart much purer than his/mine/ours.
It's uncertain when the tables turned,
but when all of your brothers have given their lives
for the strife you earned, you will get burned
and it wont get better when put on ice.
...
And you have to ignore it,
don't think about before,
you've got enough fight inside to fill five world wars.
It's just a game, just another cause,
you're a switch and I'm a cog
and last thing we need is another broken clock.
So forget about your ghost limbs
and all those things that scared you most as a child of 12.
You see I'm 13 now, and if I die for the thousandth time,
I'm unafraid, for I outnumber hell.
~ Our Aftermath, PhemieC.

No more attempts to make you see, I tried, he succeeded, oh well
but what I can say to a girl who'd play with a noose of excuses until
her big wicked grin disappears in the smoke, and crack goes the rope pulled true
I know enough about doubt, and hating myself, to tell that you now know it too.
...
Said a thousands words but they never helped
I hid my scars from you out of shame
Took up the cause, Yeah I took the helm
But I'm not the only one who's changed
I knew you first, I knew you best
I wish I'd stopped it way back then
when things were bad, but they still made sense
when we were kids, when we were friends.
~ Friend, Leader, PhemieC.

One of me is my enemy
The other me is a pretty cool guy
But I haven't seen him around lately
We don't see eye to eye.
~ Double Time, PhemieC.

Full song

I am an island, no man is an island but me
I reach out my leaves, and skillfully touch them to sea
I ship out a boat made of hope on the waves and watch as it slips below
I am an island, a island that nobody knows.

I am an island, no man is an island but I'm not a man
I was raised by an ocean of creatures and brands
I give what I can of the fruits and flowers that bloom on my skin
But when loneliness knocks, she lets herself in.

Islands don't sink, the water just rises around us
Just think, someone out there is watching the stars
but they're not the same as ours, some say they're already dead,
and the light's only on in your head.

I am an island, no man is an island but me,
I warm all my sands by the pyre of my family tree
I took to the tundra, I climb every mountain and fight every monster I can
to run from that long burning fire, my friend.

I am an island, no man is an island but I'm not a man
And messages in bottles feel like battering rams
In my head I'm a beacon, a pinprick of potential, birthed out of nothing but blue
And the light that I signal, it's shining for you.

Islands of love, we just want somebody to touch us
Just 'cause we are distant doesn't mean we are lost
we are where we are, and whenever a visitor docks
and is stranded, it means we are not.

You and I have something in common, I will try to share my island.
You and I are sinking in tandem, miles apart in every direction.
You and I are treading this current, both of us are doomed for certain.
You and I are our own now, maybe we'll wash up on solid ground.

You and I are Islands. (x4)

Islands of fate, lately I feel the tides shifting
They're bringing us closer together to stay
The waters are rippling, a new world is taking it's shape
and tonight, our Pangaea awaits.
~ I am an Island, PhemieC.

Full song

Death wears a welcoming mask
but its benevolence is debated
under every single question we ask.

Our task is not an easy one, dear brother
we must assist each other

if we're to make it through
I'm just as terrified as you
but surely there's something to look forward to.

Somewhere, there's a world we were meant to create
but it seems that we are not stronger than fate
you look my way,
what can I say?
I wish I believed things will be okay.

Throughout these darkened halls
and these obsidian towers
there's a presence gliding through the walls
as we approach our final hours.
~ Derse Dreamers [+Original lyrics and vocals], Horizon.

Knee Socks, Arctic Monkeys.

You got the lights on in the afternoon
And the nights are drawn out long
And you're kissing to cut through the gloom
With a cough drop coloured tongue
And you were sitting in the corner with the coats all piled high
And I thought you might be mine
In a small world on an exceptionally rainy Tuesday night
In the right place and time

I like this song.

There's a lot of lyrics, like parts from Spirit in the Sky and R U Mine (Norman Greenbaum and Arctic Monkeys respectively) that I like as well.

From Brother, my Brother by Blessid Union of Souls:

"We face each other from different sides
The anger burns can't remember why
It's kind of crazy to cause such pain
Our foolish pride makes us hate this way

We watch our world fall apart
Tell me what good is winning
When you lose your heart

Brother my brother
Tell me what are we fighting for
Isn't life worth so much more
We should love one another
Oh, can't we just pretend
This war never began
Tell me why
Brother my brother

Yes
We can try
Brother my brother
Yes

Let's take a moment and look deep inside
And say we're willing to give love a try
We're not as different as we seem to be
There's so much more to me than what you see

You don't have to be this way
Think about the consequences
Turn around and walk away"

[Blaggut]

"Who do you think your talking too? You know me, and I know you. Your love is gone cause' it all comes down to you. Life's too short to waste, what can we say when all is said? A house divided cannot stand. I'd beg for you, you don't seem to mind! I'm bending over backwards, your not satisfied! What more can I offer to lay upon the altar?!?! Your love is gone, cause' it all comes down to you."

[LT Sandpaw]

Beer for my Horses-

Justice is the one you should always find,
You gotta saddle up your horse,
You gotta draw the hard line,
When the gun smoke settles we'll sing a victory tune,
And we'll all meet back at the local saloon.

We raise up our glasses against evil forces,
Singing whisky for our men,
Beer for our horses


Hard Corps-

My chin in the air with my head held high,
I'll stand in the path of the enemy line,
Feel no fear, know my pride,
For God and country I will end your life.


Battle Cry-

If we believe, we can't lose
Even mountains will move,
Its my faith, its our my, this is our battle cry.

They can't take us down,
If we stand our ground,
If we live, if we die, we will shout out,
Our Battle Cry!

[Skyblade]

Concrete Angel, Martina McBride:

"Through the wind and the rain
She stands hard as a stone
In a world that she can't rise above
But her dreams give her wings
And she flies to a place where she's loved
Concrete angel
...
A statue stands in a shaded place
An angel girl with an upturned face
A name is written on a polished rock
A broken heart that the world forgot"


If I Die Young, The Band Perry:

"Who would have thought forever could be severed by...
...the sharp knife of a short life, oh well?
I've had just enough time
...
A penny for my thoughts, oh, no, I'll sell 'em for a dollar
They're worth so much more after I'm a goner
And maybe then you'll hear the words I been singin'
Funny when you're dead how people start listenin' "

Hall of Fame, The Script

"Yeah, you can be the greatest
You can be the best
You can be the King Kong banging on your chest

You can beat the world
You can beat the war
You can talk to God, go banging on his door

You can throw your hands up
You can beat the clock (yeah)
You can move a mountain
You can break rocks
You can be a master
Don't wait for luck
Dedicate yourself and you gon' find yourself

Standing in the hall of fame (yeah)
And the world's gonna know your name (yeah)
'Cause you burn with the brightest flame (yeah)
And the world's gonna know your name (yeah)
And you'll be on the walls of the hall of fame
...
Yeah, do it for your people
Do it for your pride
How are you ever gonna know if you never even try?

Do it for your country
Do it for your name
'Cause there's gonna be a day...
...
Be a champion, be a champion, be a champion, be a champion
On the walls of the hall of fame"

[Søren]

This kind of describes me and a close friend. We like the same stuff, just on opposite ends of the spectrum. (E.g. I'm iPhone, He's Galaxy Note. Although I've made sure he stays pro-Mac and iPad; music streaming, but I'm Apple Music, he's Spotify; cars, but he's Mercedes and I'm Lexus or Audi; he's Ford and I'm Volkswagen; etc.)

"My life, your life
Don't cross them lines
What you like, what I like
Why can't we both be right?
Attacking, defending
Until there's nothing left worth winning
Your pride and my pride
Don't waste my time

I don't wanna fight no more"
-Don't Wanna Fight, Alabama Shakes
