[StDx]

High school seemed like such a blur,
I didn't have much interest in sports or school elections.
And in class I dreamed all day,
Of a rock 'n' roll weekend

And the girl in the front of the room,
So close yet so far y'know she never seemed to notice
That this silly schoolboy crush
Wasn't just pretend.

Life goes by so fast
You only want to do what you think is right.
Close your eyes and then it's past;
Story of my life

And I went down my old neighborhood
The faces have all changed there's no one left to talk to
And the pool hall I loved as a kid
Is now a Seven Eleven

I went downtown to look for a job
I had no training, no experience to speak of.
I looked at the holes in my jeans
And turned and headed back.

Good times come and good times go,
I only wish the good times would last a little longer.
I think about the good times we had
And why they had to end.

So I sit at the edge of my bed
I strum my guitar and I sing an outlaw love song.
Wonerin' 'bout what you're doin' now
And when you're comin' back.

-Social Distortion 'Story of My Life'

One of the most powerful lines I've ever heard was so powerful just because all the music with yelling vocals stopped right before this line was simply spoken.

"Remember me." -mewithoutyou

[Titan]

I'm thinking of your highness
And crying long upon the loss
I've found
And on the plus and minus
Zero chance of ever
Turning this around

-Zero Chance, Soundgarden

[StDx]

you told me once that you were mine alone forever
and I was yours till the end of eternity
but all those vows are broken now
and I will never be the same except in memory

remember me when the candle lights are gleaming
remember me at the end of a long, long day
and it will be so sweet when all along I'm dreaming
just to know you still remember me

These lyrics by The Streets tell how just when he finally decided to get his act together, it was too late, and his girl left him. Quite the impactful portrayal. Download and sing along.


She said meet me at the gates at 8
Leave now don't be late
She said one day she'd walk away cos I'm always late
Thought things were ok
Didnt care though anyway
Say sorry babe, I had to meet a mate, tempting fate
We first met through a shared view, she loved me and I did too
It's now 7:50 getting ready better be nifty
Do my hair quickly, step out it's cloudy
Mate bells me to borrow money, I got two Henry's and a dealer to pay
Call up on geezers to rid these green trees of my reeking jeans
Got a you think I care outglaring geezers stares
I'm here and I'm there
Couldn't see past the end of my beer
What was getting near, all the silence after the cheers

[Chorus]

She said meet me at the gates
Don't be late, but pretty soon the day came for change
And I was glad she never walked away
So Im choosing what to wear, doing my hair with an hour to spare
When my life went pear, she'd been there with a thick stare
Big wheel climed to the top, geezer scares bounced off
Standing at the top of this huge mountain, smiling and shouting
Spring flowers sprouting, not one inch of doubt in my mind as I reached the gates
Came round the corner at a rate
Risked her love but Im gonna set things straight
Never again am I gonna be late
Never again am I gonna be late
Never again am I gonna be late

[Chorus]

I said meet me at the gates
Leave now don't be late
I waited for a while listening to her voicemail, mind set sail
Then the facts turned me pale, wind rain and hail
My fears unveiled, for my fair female
She'd walked away, too little too late
I step up the pace, walk past the gates, rain runs over my face
Spirit falls from grace
I purchase a hazy escape at the alcohol place in the chase
Sat down I got a fat frown
Weaping and drowning my senses
For this love game's expensive
I walk in a trance
Gort a wounded soldier stance
The everyday geezers stares throw me off balance
Now nothing holds significance
And nothing holds relavance
'Cause the only thing I can see is her elagance

-It's Too Late, The Streets

[Ugly Bastard]

Ah, look at all the lonely people!
Ah, look at all the lonely people!

Elanor Rigby,
Picks up the rice in the church where a wedding has been,
Lives in a dream.
Waits at the window,
Wearing the face that she keeps in a jar by the door,
Who is it for?

All the lonely people,
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people,
Where do they all belong?

Father McKenzie,
Writing the words of a sermon that noone will hear,
No one comes near.
Look at him working,
Darning his socks in the night when there's nobody there,
What does he care?

All the lonely people,
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people,
Where do they all belong?

Ah, look at all the lonely people!
Ah, look at all the lonely people!

Elanor Rigby,
Died in the church and was buried along with her name,
Nobody came.
Father McKenzie,
Wiping the dirt from his hands as he walks from the grave,
Noone was saved.

All the lonely people,
(Ah, look at all the lonely people!)
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people,
(Ah, look at all the lonely people!)
Where do they all belong?

Coldplay - The Scientist

Come up to meet ya, tell you I'm sorry
You don't know how lovely you are
I had to find you, tell you I need ya
And tell you I set you apart
Tell me your secrets, and nurse me your questions
Oh lets go back to the start
Running in circles, coming in tails
Heads on a science apart
Nobody said it was easy
It's such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said it would be this hard
Oh take me back to the start
I was just guessing at numbers and figures
Pulling the puzzles apart
Questions of science, science and progress
Do not speak as loud as my heart
And tell me you love me, come back and haunt me
Oh and I rush to the start
Running in circles, chasing tails
Coming back as we are

Nobody said it was easy
Oh it's such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said it would be so hard
I'm going back to the start

Baz Luhrmann-Everybody's Free (To Wear Sunscreen)

Wear sunscreen.

If I could offer you only one tip for the future, sunscreen would be it. The long-term benefits of sunscreen have been proved by scientists, whereas the rest of my advice has no basis more reliable than my own meandering experience. I will dispense this advice now.

Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth. Oh, never mind. You will not understand the power and beauty of your youth until they've faded. But trust me, in 20 years, you'll look back at photos of yourself and recall in a way you can't grasp now how much possibility lay before you and how fabulous you really looked. You are not as fat as you imagine.

Don't worry about the future. Or worry, but know that worrying is as effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing bubble gum. The real troubles in your life are apt to be things that never crossed your worried mind, the kind that blindside you at 4 p.m. on some idle Tuesday.

Do one thing every day that scares you.

Sing.

Don't be reckless with other people's hearts. Don't put up with people who are reckless with yours.

Floss.

Don't waste your time on jealousy. Sometimes you're ahead, sometimes you're behind. The race is long and, in the end, it's only with yourself.

Remember compliments you receive. Forget the insults. If you succeed in doing this, tell me how.

Keep your old love letters. Throw away your old bank statements.

Stretch.

Don't feel guilty if you don't know what you want to do with your life. The most interesting people I know didn't know at 22 what they wanted to do with their lives. Some of the most interesting 40-year-olds I know still don't.

Get plenty of calcium. Be kind to your knees. You'll miss them when they're gone.

Maybe you'll marry, maybe you won't. Maybe you'll have children, maybe you won't. Maybe you'll divorce at 40, maybe you'll dance the funky chicken on your 75th wedding anniversary. Whatever you do, don't congratulate yourself too much, or berate yourself either. Your choices are half chance. So are everybody else's.

Enjoy your body. Use it every way you can. Don't be afraid of it or of what other people think of it. It's the greatest instrument you'll ever own.

Dance, even if you have nowhere to do it but your living room.

Read the directions, even if you don't follow them.

Do not read beauty magazines. They will only make you feel ugly.

Get to know your parents. You never know when they'll be gone for good. Be nice to your siblings. They're your best link to your past and the people most likely to stick with you in the future.

Understand that friends come and go, but with a precious few you should hold on. Work hard to bridge the gaps in geography and lifestyle, because the older you get, the more you need the people who knew you when you were young.

Live in New York City once, but leave before it makes you hard. Live in Northern California once, but leave before it makes you soft. Travel.

Accept certain inalienable truths: Prices will rise. Politicians will philander. You, too, will get old. And when you do, you'll fantasize that when you were young, prices were reasonable, politicians were noble and children respected their elders.

Respect your elders.

Don't expect anyone else to support you. Maybe you have a trust fund. Maybe you'll have a wealthy spouse. But you never know when either one might run out.

Don't mess too much with your hair or by the time you're 40 it will look 85.

Be careful whose advice you buy, but be patient with those who supply it. Advice is a form of nostalgia. Dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it's worth.

But trust me on the sunscreen.

He is a... Gay factory
Worker from the south
He'll take what you pee out of
and stick it in his mouth!
Well he works all day
with a great big smile
and he carries a large lunch pale
And after work
it's off to the bar
to meet his boyfriend Dale
He likes the songs
He likes to dance
Sometimes he's not wearin pants
Come on boys, let's take a chance
We'll all change our names to Lance
Do do doo do do be do do
He is a ... Gay factory
Worker from the south
He'll take what you pee out of
and put it in his mouth
*mumbling noises*
*spitting noises*

I'm sick of always hearing
all the sad songs on the radio
all day it is there to remind
an oversensitive guy
that he's lost and alone yeah
I hate our favorite restaurant
our favorite movie
our favorite show
we would stay up all through the night
we would laugh and get high
and never answer the phone


I can't forgive
can't forget
can't give in
what went wrong
'cause you said this was right
you fucked up my life


I'm sick of always hearing
sappy love songs on the radio
this place, it's fuckin' cursed and it's plagued
and i can never escape
when my heartache explodes

I'm kicking out fiercly
at the world around me
what went wrong


I'm kicking

[bleed black]

vader521- thats a great song.. i didnt think anyone else liked it

[tonguegina]

Horny and burnout now is how it always ends for me,
Chemicals wear me down in your summertime bacchanalian,
I saw you go faster than the morning comes,
She walks away like a lady,

It's always the fallen ones,
I think are always going to save me,
I saw you go faster,
I want to get off one time and not apologize,
You gotta steal the time of a life that's passing by.

In bed she flexes her knees to try and abate the feeling,
She mouths the words "please" to the poster on the ceiling,
I saw you go faster right in front of me,
She stares at him so madly,
She's got the nerve to say,
She wants to fuck that boy so badly,
I saw you go faster,
I want to get off one time and not apologize.
You gotta steal the time from a life that's passing by,
I want to get off one time and look you in the eyes,
I want to get off one time and not apologize.

I was hoping you would be waiting there for me lately,
I was hoping you would be waithing there for me lately,
But you're not the kind who would be waiting, not for anybody,
You're not the kind of girl who would be waiting for anybody, not even me.

Just one time,
I want to get off one time and not apologize,
You gotta steal the time from a life that's passing by.
Not for sale.

Third Eye Blind - 'Faster'

[Niger Angelus]

Project 86
Soma

The only thing I recall is
Those shadows coming my way
Comforting me with their searchlights
To guide me home again
“We will take
We will take
That wretched heart away
And when you come to
You’ll thank us
For the new you we’ve made”

So now I'm left here fading away
Far away
Far away
So now I'm left here fading away
Far away
Far away
From me

So now I wait as they make me
Into someone else
If I believe what they tell me
I'm tired of being myself
Cause they take and the take
A piece of me everyday
“And we will help you belong here
With this new you we’ve made”

If you you can amputate my heart
Then I will learn to smile and then
You can replace me with yourself
And I'll become the model citizen
And I will tell them all
That I had this breakthrough surgery
They give you a pill
They remove your heart
And replace it with a battery


If this sort of theme interests you, read the book, 'A Brave New World', and you will understand the whole ideology and the song.

[silver and cold]

Let's call this the quiet city:
Where screams are felt as a wave of stoplights
Drive through the the streets as gunshots punctuate the night
The sides we take divide us from our faith
And the mourning dove gets caught in the telephone wire

Asleep you set the fire in your own house
And the night was a knife that cut
And I'm paralyzed

Cross out the eyes
Blur all the lines
Tearing this canvas from the wall
We crossed out the eyes
Put lines through these cries
We pulled all the leaves from the trees that fall

A silent dance that we did into this hospital bed
Hear voices from another room
"It happens all the time"
But July in the sand
Then the leaves that fall
And counting down our days to live....
Drain the blood from this valentine.

"We can rise on the wings of the dove
See blue skies getting caught in the trail of all this smoke
We can rise like candles in the dark your always"
and an envelope marked with your new address

It was the first time face to face
I'm crossing the line
Talking to the other side of death
Hearing the words that choke memories into flatlines
I'm calling your name hoping for something to wash these dreams of you away

Our fence was blown down in a winter storm and this field
stretched out of this world into the sound of a trace of blood in a love song
What can we do to put a stop to the coming white days?
I'm hoping the snow will push these dreams of you away
"cross out the eyes"-thursday

[StabMaster Arson]

Fuck the damn creationists, those bunch of dumb-ass bitches,
every time I think of them my trigger finger itches.
They want to have their bullshit, taught in public classes,
Stephen J. Gould should put his foot right up their asses.
Noah and his ark, Adam and his Eve,
straight up fairy stories even children don't believe.
I'm not saying there's no god, that's not for me to say,
all I'm saying is the Earth was not made in a day.

Fuck the damn creationists I say it with authority,
beause kicking there punk asses be me paramount priority.
Them whack-ass bitches say, "evolution's just a theory",
they best step off, them brainless fools, I'll give them cause to fear me.
The cosmos is expanding every second, every day,
but their minds are shrinking as they close their eyes and pray.
They call their bullshit science like the word could give them cred,
if them bitches be scientists then cap me in the head.

What went down on the side of the road? What I saw at the edge of the sea. Only those elements time cannot wear, and they follow. What seeped out through the cracks in time, what sucks out the color in me? What awaits beyond infinity? Beyond and to all time I stand. What blew in with the great gale? What weighed down the falling leaves? What came forth from the remains? What has always lived and gone unseen? What has caused the night to fall? Who speaks of eternity? Who awakes to night eternally?
"Midnight Sun" -AFI

[silver and cold]

There's a tear in my heart where the blood ran out.
There's a tear in my heart where the love ran out. I thought
we worked, pushed toward the same ends,
I'll never be so quick to trust again.
Disenchanted, disgusted, I regret that I trusted.
I put my faith.
My faith in you, you poisoned me through and through.
I though we both shared the same injuries.
Now I've found it's you who injures me.
My heart is cracked from being left out in the cold.
I know you'll pay for what you've taken - tenfold.
Disenchanted, disgusted, I regret that I trusted.
I put my faith.
My faith in them, they twisted the knife further in.
salt for your wounds-AFI

[malibu]

Wait a second freak, I know you from the streets, My nigga Hurry T, Has seen you through his mean, They call you little red, The one who slobs on head, And drinks a niggas nut, Until you well and fed, To see what she's about, I creaped to her house, To catch her in her blouse, And see how big her mouth, She pulled me to her room, To get the fuckin soon, I didn't have a rubber, I fucked with two balloons, Lay on the bed , That's all she said, Her pussy has one problem, Twisted tight in streads, The fuckin sounds were tunes
I fucked her with a broom, She rode it like a horse , The blood came rushing soon, When I seen that , I didn't want the cat, So I found out, And never came back

[Timmy Two Beers]

Did you hear that Mikey kissed a girl
Could it be your girlfriend or some other stupid hoe
Did you hear that Timmy shaved his hair
How much do you bet Janes not wearing underwear
Her IQ is smaller that her skirt
She pretends she wants it but she is just a flirt
Joey slept with Susan and now they're going out
Get ready cause

This is high school

Passing notes about what happened Saturday night
Is it possible that there could be a fight
Meet at the oak tree approximately 3pm
I will beat your ass cause now you’re in high school

Now you're in high school

Oh how we love these high school days
Don't want to leave wish we could stay
I'll really miss those cheerleaders
They were the highlight of my year

Did you hear about how Mr. Halls
Turns his back to the class so he can scratch his balls
Susans dumping Joey she says he sucks in bed
But not as good as she does

This is high school

Off by One - High School

[Jesus Chrystler]

Individually wrapped, placed in neat little rows
Becoming A piece of everything that grows
Some numbers, A name, to indicate you played the game
Came empty handed and left the same
A soul is A soul and A shell is A shell
The border in between is full of everything you felt
Some cling to A cross because they're tired and lost
They leave it up to the weather to measure the cost
And everytime I look within I recognize the darkness
Familiar to the image of the artist
Staring at the bathroom mirror in A strangers apartment
Can't remember her name, don't remember how I got here
But here I am, thinking about death again
Humbles out the stress, helps the breath get in
I need to check my friends as well as my next of kin
To let them know I love them all to the end
And when the soul begins to reap, I think she'll know me from the sleep
I keep caught in the corner of my bloodshot eyes
And if she has the nerve, to let me dump a couple last words
I'm gonna turn to the earth and scream "Love your life!"

Love your life, quite cliche but I guess that's me
A ball of pop culture with some arms and feet
As discrete as I've tried to keep the drama and cancer
It's no secret I hunger for someone to feed the answers
I never expected a bowl of cherries
I'm just a virgo trying to find my own version of the virgin mary
And when I let them carry me to a cemetary
I wanna be buried with a pocket full of clarity

Now, how many times must you prove you're an angel
How many more demons do you have to strangle
How much longer must you remain in this dream
Before I finally figure out if you're insane or a genius

Let no tears to fall from none of y'all
Just remember it all, the beauty as well as the flaws
L-O-V-E L-I-F-E
Here lies me, finally free
And as I look across the sea I smile at the sun
While it feeds the weeds the nutrition they need
The people still breathe, the city still bleeds
I'm going to love it to death and keep planting my seeds
I'm going to love it to death and keep an eye on the seeds
I'll be in love till im dead, I keep reaching the seeds
I'll give all I got left just to teach you to read
Love life to the death and keep planting my seeds
And when the soul begins to reap, I think she'll know me from the sleep
I keep caught in the corner of my bloodshot eyes
And if she has the nerve, to let me dump a couple last words
I'm gonna turn to the earth and scream "Love your life!"

Yeah, nevermind, I just found where I said that, back in December (you must've been bored ).

Not too sure why I said I wrote that shit, 'cause apparantly I didn't.

I edited my post to say BDH wrote it, but that is also probably not the case. So BDH, if you could provide me with the name of the real creator, I'll go ahead and edit that post.
