Song lyrics that kick your ass (yes, you specifically)

[veryoldshoelace]

Superman's Dead has awesome lyrics...so do most of their songs though...


Falling For the First Time by the Barenaked Ladies

I'm so cool, too bad I'm a loser
I'm so smart, too bad I can't get anything figured out
I'm so brave, too bad I'm a baby
I'm so fly, that's probably why it
Feels just like I'm falling for the first time

I'm so green, it's really amazing
I'm so clean, too bad I can't get all the dirt off of me.
I'm so sane, it's driving me crazy
It's so strange, I can't believe it
Feels just like I'm falling for the first time

Anyone perfect must be lying, anything easy has its cost
Anyone plain can be lovely, anyone loved can be lost
What if I lost my direction? What if I lost sense of time?
What if I nursed this infection? Maybe the worst is behind
It feels just like I'm falling for the first time
It feels just like I'm falling for the first time

I'm so chill, no wonder it's freezing
I'm so still, I just can't keep my fingers out of anything
I'm so thrilled to finally be failing
I'm so done, turn me over cause it
Feels just like I'm falling for the first time

Anything plain can be lovely, anything loved can be lost
Maybe I lost my direction, what if our love is the cost?
Anyone perfect must be lying, anything easy has its cost
Anyone plain can be lovely, anyone loved can be lost
What if I lost my direction? What if I lost sense of time?
What if I nursed this infection? Maybe the worst is behind

I chose parts of songs

Bright Eyes- Going for the Gold

but a kid carries his Walkman on that long bus ride to omaha
I know a girl who cries when she practices violin
cause each note sounds so pure
it just cuts into her
and then the melody comes pouring out her eyes
now to me everything else it just sounds like a lie.

Bright Eyes- A Celebration Upon Completion

my grandmother was all sweetness
and when she spoke we all heard bells and
they ran in such a way that we were comforted
and they held on to each other with all the strength they had
and they loved with devotion beyond what i understand
but i guess fear has a way of making sleep unbearable
and the days seem dark and long
but we cry and we dance and we stumble into love with perfect, awkward grace
the moon is gone and the sun has took its place

Jeff Buckley- Last Goodbye

This is our last embrace
Must I dream and always see your face
Why can't we overcome this wall
Well, maybe it's just because i didn't know you at all

Kiss me, please kiss me
But kiss me out of desire, babe, and not consolation
You know it makes me so angry 'cause i know that in time
I'll only make you cry, this is our last goodbye

[starseed_10]

something corporate - konstantine


also The Get Up Kids - Campfire Kansas > "lets take the moon and make it shine for everyone." gives me a tingly feeling all the time.

Elliott Smith - The Biggest Lie

I'm waiting for the train
The subway that only goes one way
This stupid thing that'll come to pull us apart
And make everybody late

You spent everything you had
You wanted everything to stop that bad
But I'm a crashed credit card registered to Smith
Not the name that you call me with

You turned white like a saint
I'm tired of dancing on a pot of gold flake paint
Oh we're so very precious you and I
And everything that you do makes me wanna die
Oh I just told the biggest lie

[happening fish]

Catchiest song ever. I implore you to download.

Rheostatics - Mumbletypeg

I was like you, a dot, a figure, or a point on a star
I could be King, a knight, a fraggle, or a Johnny Guitar
Cast in the mirrored light
Ten stories high
The serpent lays below the light
Don't look down

I had a mom, a dad, a sister in the back of the car
Was frightened by every living creature till she cut through the dark
Saw her reflection in
The screaming eyes
I fell in love not even twice
Or three times

Love struck quick, it's like a razor that flicked
The hand to eyes to mouth
The angels cried when the sent you south but you will
You will, you will be happy
Inspite of the shit and the pain of it

A little dream of flags on an inky ship
And you will ride five coloured horses
Open sesame, open your lips
I will (x7)

Everything big so full of nothing that I just didn't need
Licking you like an all day sucker game of mumbletypeg
You are the little things I understand
Like playing in this rock and roll band
We roll along

Something grew between the black and blue
Heart to fill a house
A love so true now there is no doubt that you will
You will, you will be happy
Inspite of the shit and the pain of it

A little dream of flags on an inky ship
And a land you'll not believe
Open sesame, steady your knees
I will (x7)

alkaline trio - blue in the face

it's about time that i came clean with you
no longer fine
i'm no longer running smooth
i thought that i found myself under something new
just one more line
i repeat over and over again till i'm blue in the face
with a choking regret
as i talk in circles around you on my bed
can't say i blame you one bit when you kept it all inside
when you left that night

its about time that you got sick of me
no longer fun
and so far from interesting
i thought that i found me a cure for feeling old
just one more line
to keep keep me sleeping loudly and cold in disgrace
with a shameful regret
as i talk in tongues to myself in my bed
can't say i blame you one bit when you kept it all inside
when you left that night

and all that followed fell
like mercury to hell
somehow we lost our heads for the last time

and all that followed fell
like mercury to hell
somehow we lost our heads for the last time

and i dont dream since i quit sleeping
and i havent slept since i met you
you can't breathe without coughing in daytime
well neither can i
so what do you say
your coffin or mine?

Jump, Little Children - Violent Dreams

Violent dreams
Every night
Lately I've been waking out of urgency
Something I said
Something I did
Is bringing on this violent emergency
One black day in ghostly white
Just another sleepless night

And one more day
I'm always taking the dive
And all it takes
Is all I can give
All my waking hours just to see you live
Through this sleepless night

Violent dreams
every night
Patiently waiting in the waiting room
Hospital whites
Hospital lights
Burning in an ever flourescent gloom
Still with both my eyes shut tight
It's just another sleepless night

And one more day
I'm always taking the dive
And all it takes
Is all I can give
All my waking hours just to see you live

You
Behind closed eyes, behind closed doors
First thing tomorrow, someone said,
She's hanging by a needle and a thread

Violent dreams
Every night
Turning empty pages of old magazines
Turning instead
Of turning in bed
Turning off the static on the TV screen
In the vending machine light
It's just another sleepless night

And one more day
I'm always taking the dive
And all it takes
Is all I can give...

And one more day
I'm always taking the dive
And all it takes
Is all I can give
All my waking hours just to see you live

Allison Foley - Better Than Ezra
"Calmly, like a razor
I got us on the door,"
or "I got a tape of 'Clerks'
Someone left the night before."

So I got over later,
You're sitting in that chair
Smoking on your cigarette
Fingering your hair

So I get drunk and stoned,
Every time you come around.

Twenty-nine and aimless
You bartend down on fourth
Your parents pay insurance
And the Parson's Audit course

Over-schooled and uninspired
A trust fun up your nose
All that wasted talent but, uh
Ain't that how it always goes?

So I get drunk and stonedm
Every time you come around.
Yeah, yeah, yeah

So long Allison Foley
So long, bye-bye

(Come up higher, take a step higher)
Sometimes you understand
The reasons how you went astray
But least of all the answer,
That it hurts to watch you waste away.

So I get drunk and stoned,
Every timed you come around.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

So long Allison Foley
So long, bye-bye
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

50 Cent-

Go shorty, its your birthday...

[starseed_10]

k guys, rob wins.

no one will ever find lyrics to match those ones.

[nelison]

that must be one of the signs the world is coming to an end...

my lyrics for the day since I saw her last night...
Chantal Kreviazuk - Surrounded

i was there
when you shone as bright as
bethlehem from afar
i was there
when you were young and strong
and perverted
and everything that makes a young man
oh you were a star
i was there
and i swear to god
and on my mother's grave
on everything i have
or ever will embrace
i was there
and i saw it with my own two eyes

and now it's all around me
it's all around me
i'm surrounded
now it's all around me
it's all around me
you surround me like a circle

i was there
c'mon and tell me i wasn't worth
sticking it out for
well i was there
and i know i was worth it
cause if i wasn't worth it
that makes me worse off then you are
but don't lose sight of me now
don't lose sight of me now

i was there
when they dropped the bomb
ya' know i remember the bomb
and i still hear the bomb
and i still fight the bomb
you know i still fear the bomb
you know i still hate the bomb
sometimes i still get the call

so don't lose sight of me now
you know you're all around me
i'm surrounded
you surround me like a circle

[dumbandjaded13]

Definitely like the Jump Little Children lyrics above... those guys rock!

Epidemic - Individual

Here come the clones, they're closing in on the near vicinity, out to prolong
what has so long been feeding off the ones that have no rules to uphold or need
to scold "we must exclude this individual" and saturate negotiate an
understanding
Chorus: Dont want to be dependent on other for what is missing,
dont know if it will ever be otherwise than it is now? we tip the scale and run
identify with none other than the ones who can't escape the noise within...

but can you tell me how we alienate ourselves we don't have to be phonies act
excited while we do not relate and will not partake in orchestrated spontaneity
that you plan out and impose but is now exposed and the cheers have turned
pale
Repeat Chours
try telling it to the ones whose back upon we like to
dance
succumb to the noise within

Epidemic - Disconnected

Has it failed? the lie so white it's almost see-through
all we made a fruitless effort to connect with ourselves and remain disconnected
don't hesitate to sweep this failure under the carpet
as we exchange insincerities as we walk out on ourselves and remain disconnected
so I slide into the deep end I was
up against something bigger than me
don't have any access don't have any answers
to what's inside so I hide
here is to safety and it's comfort
I wouldn't know how to get around this or myself to begin with
I remain disconnected

[mosaik]

First Time - Finger Eleven

i had never thought
We were hanging on
But the fall looks very far
Staring at the ground
What flesh will do to you
Will do to me too
Be free and on your own
It's not that simple
It's never that simple
It feels like the first time
That we'd fallen behind
And we faltered too far down
No one could save us
It feels like the first time
And we're standing about them
And no one can touch us
The worst is over
I could say to you
A bitter word or two
There's no stopping now
Just get it out in the air
Heard it through the fog
And hurt by it all
I'd take it back today
But it's out of my hands
Lost in the film again
All the signs were showing
Watching a single frame
When the wind begins
You're never anywhere
'Cause you're caught in my
weather every time
Feels like the first time
We'd fallen behind
No use is the other one to wait
But I can hold on
As sure as I'm strong
Get over the faithful yesterdays

[mosaik]

Third Eye Blind - Gorgeous

I am made of a hard skin
So I don't know how so much
Pain still gets in
Stars between, you and me, my friend
A stone within, skips across the sea and smokes a child

So I go down to the sea
Where I will breath the air yeah-e-yeah
Take back your piece of me
I let it bleed yeah-e-yeah

Outrage, from within
My bones break
But when they mend
The stone returns again

So I go down to the sea
Where I will breath air
Take back your piece of me
I breath, breath yeah-e-yeah

Wounds from inside
Blown open wide
Open wide
Then I breathe
Breath, yeah-a-yeah

Wounds from inside
They are blown open
There's a sound of the phone
Not ringing
It echoes in my home
See all my friends in a crowd of you
Tell me why I'm so goddamn alone
And I felt I could do anything
That's why I make you see for me
Say it's not fair
But across the sea,
The stone takes a chunk of change from me

I can't wait for a long time
Step to me
Take a step back boy
Take a chunk of change again

Just let me go down to the sea
Where I will breath
Breathe air yeah-e-eah
Take back your piece of me
And let it bleed, bleed, yeah-e-yeah

Wounds from inside
But they are
Blown open wide
Open wide

[mosaik]

triple post from me

Third Eye Blind - Tatoo of the Sun

I believe everything you say
'Cuz you're not frightened
The way I've been so
So i follow you
Just incase you loose your way
So glad you let me stay around
The chain linked fence you climbed
To make forbidden lake our own
Your's and mine
And with ease of the sea gulls
We cut the engines and cruise high
In the summer sky
Now I could speak the everything
But there's no roomfor my voice
When sweet feed back is Jumping through the hoop of you ear
Ring there goes the phone
And then you're off again
On what the caller brings
So I went and trashed myself at the bar
Confused for nothing thinking you'd be there
I'm so embarrassed
'Cuz it's you who comes to take care of me
Shambling home again with you to lead
And it's not the way i want to go
And i'm mad at you
and i'm mad at me
talking endlessly
not a kind word to say
'Till your amber beads of wisdom come
And i want to write it down
Just the way you said it
So I could keep it always
I can't forget the smell
of summer trees at midnight
Bending backwords to pleasse the wind
You touch the tatoo of the sun
On a warm belly that once carried a baby for a while
Then let that crackled leather jacket round you fold
Red face saints monogrammmed in gold
An din this beauty i would not go any further
'Cuz i suddenly rembered
We can't live this way forever
Idle daylight
I'v never caught you in a lie
not until now
i feel somehow
the passing of these days gone by
what will you do when the feeling that you have is through
i need to know'cuz i've never stop hanging on you
and it's times like this that i dread
when there's everything to say
and nothing left to be said
to be said
and it makes me sad...

[committed]

alkaline trio - every thug needs a lady

i know it's dark here
you know that i'm scared too
for some reason right now
of everything but you
right now you're all that i recognize

you know i came here
when i needed your soft voice
i needed to hear something
that sounded like an answer
and i'll wait here and sometimes i get one

it's nothing i'll forget
when the moon gets tired
you are stuck to me everyday
believe in what i am because it's all i have today
and tomorrow who knows where we'll be
from here i can hardly see a thing
but i will follow anyone who brings me to you
for now, forever, for on and on and on

you know it starts here
outside waiting in the cold
kiss me once in the snow
i swear it never gets old
and i will promise you i can make it warmer next year

you know i came here
when i needed your soft voice
i needed to hear something
that sounded like an answer
now i stay here and everyday i get one

it's nothing i'll forget
when the moon gets tired
you are stuck to me everyday
believe in what i am because it's all i have today
and tomorrow who knows where we'll be
from here i can hardly see a thing
but i will follow anyone who brings me to you
for now, forever, for on and on and on

so go plug in your electric blanket
we can stay in our southern summer wedding day
go plug in your electric blanket
we can stay here

Jenni's Song- MGB
Jenni killed her dad with her car
And now she's a millionaire
She got beat up mostly for being at home
So mostly she wasn't there
Me, I'm waiting to see
What goes around when she comes around
To kill me

Were you dead way before tonight?
Throw it back and stay a while
I've seen red most of this little life
Throw it back, we'll die a while

We go out and we pass out in our clothes again
Giving it and losing it for the time of our lives
I'm giving it and losing it for the time of my life
You're giving it and losing it for the time of your life

Were you dead way before tonight?
Throw it back and stay a while
I've seen red most of this little life
Throw it back and we'll die a while

I know what it means: "you got me"
We're not sick we just need it for the weekends
On mondays it's gone
I used to think I was invisible, beside you i'd crumble
You wait for it and you wait for it, you wait for it and it's gone
And you wake up and nobody knows that I loved you buried alive

Were you dead way before tonight?
Throw it back and stay a while
I've seen red most of this little life
Throw it back and we'll die a while

[lora]

jenni's song has to be my favorite matthew good song.
i used to hate it, but it means so much to me now.

[happening fish]

wow, i really like the words to that.

Rheostatics - Beerbash

(hey everybody dave is gonna sing a song right now
for all you kids)

everyone out here dear
is rockin' tonight
and they're all rockin' out
cause it's cool
but someone i know
is at home losing hope
thinking how far he'll fall
and with what length of rope

everyone out here dear
is crawling the floor
and they're all getting worked up
like never before
but someone i know
is at home, losing hope
for the people he once called his friends


all i want is over
every little thing you bitched about came true
all i want is over
every little thing you bitched about came true

everyone out here dear
is silent tonight
cause they all knew he would go
but they didn't think, "tonight"
he sent them a message
they'll never live down
and he sent them a note
that went something like this:

"well everyone out here dear
should stop it right there
till someday they learn to use
their brains for more
than 'how many two-fours
can you fit in a trunk?
and how many beers is that apiece?' "

all i want is over
every little thing you bitched about came true
all i want is over
every little thing you bitched about came true

everyone out here
dear is rockin' tonight
and they're all rockin' out
cause it's cool
but you're far away
where the Indians play
on the steps
of the Winchester Arms

Thrice-To What End

to what end do we
proceed so boldly
if all we are is
chemical reactions
and what world have you
deftly sold me
if you reduce me

if I have no soul to touch
no heart to love
no evil to rise up above
no angels and no ghosts
no real victories to toast
if you believe that this is true
then I must ask
to what end do you proceed

NO FIRE IN OUR EYES
NO STEEL IN OUR HEARTS
NO MAGIC IN OUR SONGS
ARE WE JUST EMPTY VESSELS

did I not feel your love
did I not feel your hate
and did my heart not beat
and did my heart not break
and are these tears for naught
and are these worlds in vain
if this is all we are then what
HAVE WE TO GAIN

What of all the art and books
music and poetry
What of all our memories
What of OUR HOPES AND DREAMS
They hold no value then
We hold no faith but greed
So I must ask you
To what end do we proceed?
