Favorite Lyric Quotes

Just out of curiousity, what are some lyrics that have just stuck in your head? here are a couple of mine;

Otep - Special Pets
"When you scream it sounds like a lullaby
When you beg I get all gooey inside,
Tonight I take your eyes and tongue
To spread the word and watch you come"

Slipknot - Gematria(The Killing Name)
"Give me a minute and I'll change your mind
Give me a bullet and I'll change your life"

Otep - Numb and Dumb
"and daddy's shooting smack
and mama's smoking crack
and teacher is a sex addict
and preacher has a porn habit
and sister's sucha whore
and my life is a bore
take your vitamins
whiten your teeth
comb your hair
know when to speak
they say jesus was a masochist
but maybe they said, pacifist
oh sweet goddess of narcotics
on my knees i pray
just give me one more dose
& make it all go away
make me completely
numb & dumb"

Linkin park - by myself
"Do I trust some and get fooled by phoniness,
Or do I trust nobody and live in loneliness?"

"If I let them go I’ll be outdone
But if I try to catch them I’ll be outrun
If I’m killed by the questions like a cancer
Then I’ll be buried in the silence of the answer"

Otep - Confrontation
"STAND UP! SPEAK OUT!...STRIKE BACK!
STAND UP! SPEAK OUT!...STRIKE BACK!
THEY DON'T KNOW, WHAT THEY'VE STARTED...CONFRONTATION!!!"

also from that song
"ITS A RICH MANS WAR, BUT ITS THE POOR THAT FIGHT!" (or, later on in the song, WHERE THE POOR JUST DIE!)

Ahhh! Another Otep fan, sweet! Otep is by far my favorite band. something about the amount of emotion that Otep Shamaya puts into her lyrics is just amazing.


Otep - Warhead

"The king of lies
Is alive
Look around
Look inside
Infidel
It begins here, it ends now
The prince must pay
His head or the crown
Rob the poor, slaughter the weak
Distort the law, perfect deceit

Do I need a gas mask?
Should I get inoculated?
Will this war last?
Will we be incinerated?
False gods
Death squads
Blind

This is a catastrophe
Weapon systems activated
Puritans have invaded
This is a catastrohpe
To protect against the threat
Order must be kept

Do I need a gas mask?
Should I get inoculated?
Will this war last?
Will we be incinerated?
False gods
Death squads
Blind

The elephants march to war
Concede
Conform
Concede
Conform
Deny the big lie
My tribe
Join me
An alliance of defiance, in the warhead
An alliance of defiance
All are welcome here
Give me your tired, give me your sick, give me your indulgence and decadence
He lied, they died, keep the peasants terrified
This is a catastrophe
You must lead if they get me
On my command
Break free"

otep?

Metallica

St. Anger:

I feel my world shake
Like an earth quake
It's hard to see clear
Is it me? Is it fear?

Invincible by Pat Benatar (yes, from the movie The Legend of Billie Jean, where this song was supposedly the theme song, tho it only played once...)
This bloody road remains a mystery
this sudden darkness fills the air
what we waiting for?
wont anybody help us
what we waiting for?

(Chorus)
We cant afford to be innocent
stand up and face the enemy
its a do or die situation
we will be invincible

This shattered dream you can not justify
we're gonna scream until we're satisfied
what are we running for?
we've got the right to be angry
what are we running for
when there's nowhere we can run to anymore

(Chorus)
We cant afford to be innocent
stand up and face the enemy
its a do or die situation
we will be invincible

and with the power of conviction
there's is no sacrifice
its a do or die situation
we will be invincible

wont anybody help us
what are we running for
when there's nowhere, nowhere we can run to anymore

(Chorus)
We cant afford to be innocent
stand up and face the enemy
its a do or die situation
we will be invincible

and with the power of conviction
there's is no sacrifice
its a do or die situation
we will be invincible

2x
We cant afford to be innocent
stand up and face the enemy
its a do or die situation
we will be invincible


according to my LA teacher, its about child abuse....good song either way tho

Metallica
Unforgiven II:

Lay beside me, tell me what THEY've done
Speak the words I want to hear, to make my demons run
The door is locked now but it's open if you're true
If you can understand the me, then I can understand the you

Lay beside me, under wicked sky
black of day, dark of night, we share this pair of lives
The door cracks open but there's no sun shining through
Black heart scarring darker still, but there's no sun shining through

By far my favorite Metallica song....
