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

the lyrics to climbing up the walls by radiohead constantly leaves my ass black and blue

I am the key to the lock in your house
That keeps your toys in the basement
And if you get too far inside
You'll only see my reflection

It's always best when the light is off
I am the pick in the ice
Do not cry out or hit the alarm
You know we're friends till we die

And either way you turn
I'll be there
Open up your skull
I'll be there
Climbing up the walls

It's always best when the light is off
It's always better on the outside
Fifteen blows to the back of your head
Fifteen blows to your mind

So lock the kids up safe tonight
Put the eyes in the cupboard
I've got the smell of a local man
Who's got the loneliest feeling

That either way he turns
I'll be there
Open up your skull
I'll be there

Climbing up the walls
Climbing up the walls
Climbing up the walls

in terms of music...the 2nd verse of ana's song by silverchair has quite possibly the most beautiful composition of any song ever written...at least in context

Miss You Love-Silverchair

Millionaire say
Got a big shot deal
And thrown it all away but
But I'm not too sure
How I'm supposed to feel
Or what I'm supposed to say
But I'm not, not sure,
Not too sure how it feels
To handle every day
And I miss you love

Make room for the prey
'Cause I'm coming in
With what I wanna say but
It's gonna hurt
And I love the pain
A breeding ground for hate but...

I'm not, not sure,
Not too sure how it feels
To handle everyday
Like the one that just past
In the crowds of all the people

Remember today
I've no respect for you
And I miss you love
And I miss use love

I love the way you love
But I hate the way
I'm supposed to love you back

It's just a fad
Part of the teenage angst brigade and
I'm not, not sure,
Not too sure how it feels
To handle everyday
Like the one that just past
In the crowds of all the people

Remember two days
I've no respect for you
And I miss you love
And I miss use love

Freak-Silverchair

No more maybes
Your baby's got rabies
Sitting on a ball
In the middle of the Andes

Yeah, I'm a freak of nature
Yeah, I'm a freak

If only I could be as cool as you
As cool as you

Body and soul, I'm a freak

Try to be different
Well get a different disease
Seems it's in fashion
To need the coldsore cream

I don't really know
How to put on a 'cool' show
As boring as they come
Just tell me where to go

If only I could be as cool as you

Luv Your Life-Silverchair

Thrust the candle to the dark of your disease
Burn the fishplate execute ill memories
Labyrinth of sympathy in which I'm lost and can't leave
And too much truth overshadows the lime lies
And what lies beneath the clouds is an
Altered perception and I'll pay for sanity
But sanity don't come cheap

You don't know the truth and I love your life
Flinch against the fire but this ain't winter
And I'm all by myself the way I wanna be
Where I'm content to be to be all by myself
But frozen eyes are bound to melt.

Nine Inch Nails - That's what I get

just when everything was making sense
you took away all my self-confidence
now all that i've been hearing must be true
i guess i'm not the only boy for you

but that's what i get
that's what i get
that's what i get
that's what i get

how can you turn me into this?
after you just taught me how to kiss you
i told you i'd never say goodbye
now i'm slipping on the tears you made me cry

but that's what i get
that's what i get
that's what i get
that's what i get

why's it come as a surprise
to think that i was so naive
maybe didn't mean that much
but it meant everything to me

that's what i get
that's what i get
that's what i get
that's what i get
that's what i get
that's what i get
that's what i get
that's what i get
that's what i get
that's what i get
that's what i get

Men suck. I hate them all....cheating bastards.

my sister makes fun of "freak" all the time...but only until she gets socked in the boob

Odds are none of you have heard of these guys, but I really like this song. Val knows about it. She likes it. You all should hear it at some point. The music accompanying the words makes the somg beautiful.

Audio Learning Center - The Shell

Uncovering the lie
Couldn't look you in the eye
Got caught

And every time I thought we'd mend
You'd just fall apart again
It's not your fault

Cause no matter how many seeds
of doubt she plants in me

I drink to numb the pain
Til everything's the same
Was barely there

Climbing up the walls
Wondering if we'll
Be the same

Cause no matter how many seeds
of doubt she plants in me

I know that I will be alright
Buried encased safe inside
Built from pains and fears
That I've collected over years
I knew that I

There's a girl that thinks that she
is in love with me
She believes I
And though I know she's real
Just can't bring myself to feel
anything

Cause no matter how many seeds
of love she plants in me

I know that I'm not - I'm not okay
Nothing can grow in here - suffocates
And I'm truly sorry dear
There's just not much left in here
I'm afraid that I

Two (now three) doesn't mean I am back. I had one thing to say about Affirmative Action and I wanted to post that song. That's about it. I only talk when I feel something needs to be said.

I will give the secrets you request
And you will be the one to sacrifice
So lay your olive arms upon my breast
And sing the poems, pray the butterflies

Pray your gods who ask you for your blood
For they are strong and angry jealous ones
Oh lay upon my altar now your love
I fear my time is short
There are armies moving closer
Be quick, my love

I feel my body weaken by the years
As people turn to gods as cold as ice
Is it that they fear the pain of death?
Or could it be they fear the joy of life?

Pray your gods who hold you by your fear
For they are quick and ruthless punishers
Oh lay upon my altar now your love
I fear my day is done
There are armies moving on
Be quick, my love

dona nobis pacem, pacem
dona nobis pacem

I close my eyes and I see a freak
I think it's me and I'm afraid to speak
I keep on going from week to weakness way out in a line.
I dream of lives we could have had before
But the heat is broke down open doorways.
Friends of yours will tell me more what happens in your mind

Can we try and take the high road
Though we don't know where it ends
I want to be your Crystal Baller
I want to show you how it ends

Macramé queens in the afternoon
And I'm in tune or did I speak too soon
Punch drunk on somebody's joke
What happened to the time
A footnote in your dance of days
In my mind that record still plays
Still wonder what the fuck it says, hoping there is time

Can we try and take the high road though
We don't know where it ends
I want to be your Crystal Baller
I can show you how it ends

Can we talk about tomorrow
And the promise that it brings
I want to be your Crystal Baller
I want to show everything

I like the way it was before
I like the way it was before

In the moment you were screaming at me I must have been somebody else
And the patrons of the pub keep singing

Macramé queens in the afternoon
And I'm in tune or did I speak too soon
Punch drunk on somebody's joke
what happened to the time

I dream of lives we could have had before
where the heat is broke down open doorways
Like waiting for a trick to score, It seems that way some times
I wonder where were all going, I'm homesick for your primal knowing
I wonder why the wind keeps blowing you through my mind

Try and take the high road
Remember we were friends
I want to be your Crystal Baller
I want to be your diamond ring

The one I never gave you and the promise that it brings
Let me be your Crystal Baller
I will show you everything.
I'll be your Crystal Baller

he must have really loved that Charlize woman.

The SuperJesus-So Lonely

I saw you walking away, I caught my breath
Without you hanging around, I've nothing left
And I’ll take you as I am (when you're leaving)
But the dog won't understand (why your leaving)
I guess she'll sought it all out, the time will come
So tell me you can stay, I get so lonely without you
My feet won't leave the ground
Can't stand to be away
I get so lonely without you

I'm not responsible now, I've lost my way
Seems I’ve forgotten somehow what I should say
And there's nothing we won't do (it's a given)
And it's all because of you (now we're livin')
I'm gonna take you apart and show you why

So tell me you can stay, I get so lonely without you
My feet wont leave the ground
Can't stand to be away
I get so lonely without you (I hate to be this way)
Just spend a little while
I get so lonely without you
This always brings me back
Patience is not my style
I get so lonely without you... and I do, and I do

Trains and Earthquakes, Hello From Waveland

Your body moves beyond control
And your hands shake like the earth below
And you will be restless when I'm not there
And you will be restless and I won't care, I won't care

Our kisses taste like saltwater
From the tears down your face
Like trains and earthquakes
A lonely cry cannot be heard

A cold rain is moving in
Ice cold water keeps away the sin
The night will be painless as sleeping pills
The cold will be painless and the cold will chill, it will chill

Our kisses taste like saltwater
From the tears down your face
Like trains and earthquakes
A lonely cry cannot be heard

An empty house and a broken phone
A lonely cry and no one's home
And you will be restless when I'm not there
And I will be restless and you won't care, you won't care

Our kisses taste like saltwater
From the tears down your face
Like trains and earthquakes
A lonely cry cannot be heard
Cannot be heard
Cannot be heard

Empty hands tremble

Rob Dougan - I'm Not Driving Anymore

You tell me i can't slow down, you tell me where i've gotta be
i speed into the darkness, but i swear that i can't see a thing in front of me
you know it's true, I'm not driving anymore
i can't keep up with you
you're closing in behind me, i've got headlights in my eyes, don't you get too close to me
can't you see that we'll collide, and end up casualties
there's just no room, i'm not driving anymore
i can't keep up with you, so leave me on my own

brought me down and race away, from me
i've got nowhere to go to, i don't think i can get back on my feet, back on my feet
tt came right out of nowhere - eyes wide and terrified
and i can't put my brakes on, i can't swerve to save your life
cause then i'll lose control, and i can't choose, i'm not driving anymore
i can't keep up with you, so leave me on my own

brought me down and race away from me, i've got nowhere to go to
i don't think i can get back on my feet, back on my feet
get me out of harmsway, can't you see i'm paralyzed
i wanna fade out gracefully, but you keep keeping me alive
to face another day, can't you see i'm through
i'm not driving anymore, i can't keep up with you, can't keep away

tell me how long have i got, i wanna end this earthly toil
till this diet life expires, i wanna go swimming in the soil
and not come up for breath, sit in god's room
i'm not driving anymore, i can't keep up with you

unfit for consumption, i don't know how to play my part
i swear i'm alone in this thing, i'm a blind man driving my car
into oblivion, let it come soon, i'm not driving anymore
i can't keep up with you

this is a good thread :thumbs:

The Weakerthans - Aside

Measure me in metered lines, in one decisive stare,
the time it takes to get from here to there.
My ribs that show through t-shirts and these shoes I got for free;
I'm unconsoled, I'm lonely.
I am so much better than I used to be.
Terrified of telephones and shopping mall,
and knives, and drowning in the pools of other lives.
Rely a bit to heavily on alcohol and irony.
Get clobbered on by courtesy, in love with love, and lousy poetry.
And I'm leaning on a broken fence between Past and Present tense.
And I'm losing all these stupid games that I swore I'd never play.
And it almost feels okay.
Circumnavigate this body of wonder and uncertainty.
Armed with every previous failure, and amateur cartography,
I breathe in deep before I spread these maps out on my bedroom floor.
Leaving. Wave goodbye.
Losing, but I'll try, with the last ways left, to remember.
Sing my imperfect offering.
