Pretty self-explanatory, post song quotes you really like.

A few of my favorite song quotes:

"Endowed with the art of casting names
Upon its beings
The humans claimed dominion
Over every living fucking thing"

-Protest the Hero, Spoils

"Those who ride against us will be murdered where they stand
Let our arrows rain from sky to drain blood into the land
If a mortal stands against us strike him down with sleight of hand
And if heaven rides against us then god himself must be damned"

-Protest the Hero, Bone Marrow

"Walls of carnage
Surround your weakness
Crash down like oceans
Wait for the light
In total darkness
Drowning in bleakness
Awaiting death's grip
Cry out for life"

-Trivium, Torn Between Scylla and Charybdis

my fav of all time is

"he who makes a beast of himslef gets rid of the pain of being a man"
A7X,beast and the harlot

ill add more later

Is it any wonder that this is my favorite band with lyrical content like this:

Tool- Lateralus

"I embrace my desire to
feel the rhythm, to feel connected
enough to step aside and weep like a widow
to feel inspired, to fathom the power,
to witness the beauty, to bathe in the fountain,
to swing on the spiral
of our divinity and still be a human.

With my feet upon the ground I lose myself
between the sounds and open wide to suck it in,
I feel it move across my skin.
I'm reaching up and reaching out,
I'm reaching for the random or what ever will bewilder me.
And following our will and wind we may just go where no one's been.
We'll ride the spiral to the end and may just go where no one's been."

Tool- 46 & 2

"See my shadow changing,
Stretching up and over me.
Soften this old armor.
Hoping I can clear the way
By stepping through my shadow,
Coming out the other side.
Step into the shadow.
Forty six and two are just ahead of me."

Tool- The Grudge

"Give away the stone.
Let the oceans take and transmutate this cold and fated anchor.
Give away the stone.
Let the waters kiss and transmutate these leaden grudges into gold.
Let go."

Tool- Reflection

"Its source is bright and endless
She resuscitates the hopeless
Without her, we are lifeless satellites drifting

And as I pull my head out I am without one doubt
Don't wanna be down here feeding my narcissism.
I must crucify the ego before it's far too late
I pray the light lifts me out
Before I pine away.

So crucify the ego, before it's far too late
To leave behind this place so negative and blind and cynical,
And you will come to find that we are all one mind
Capable of all that's imagined and all conceivable.
Just let the light touch you
And let the words spill through
And let them pass right through
Bringing out our hope and reason ...
before we pine away."

oh i like lateralus!

Lateralus is in-fucking-credible

in-de-ed

"We contemplate oblivion as we resonate our dissonance
In godless random interpretation
The universe still expands, mankind still can't understand
How to define you, so hide your face and watch us exterminate ourselves over you
Welcome to the end my friend, the sky has opened"
- Nevermore, This Godless Endeavor

"All things new are fought against
Even though their time has come
Stretch and reach to conscious mind
Seek defeat in those who fear"
- Scar Symmetry, Ghost Prototype II: Deus Ex Machina. A song about quantum mechanics, and how humans may react to such knowledge, either embracing it or denying it.

"The devil grows inside the hearts of the selfish and wicked
White, brown, yellow and black, color is not restricted
You have a self destructive destiny when you're inflicted
And you'll be one of God's children that fell from the top
There's no diversity because we're burning in the melting pot
So when the devil wants to dance with you, you better say never
Because the dance with the devil might last you forever"
- Immortal Technique, Dance with the Devil. Listen to the whole song for an intense story, it's bound to move you.

hmmmm never heard of immortal technique before ill have to listen to them

oooooppppppps dam it lol

I thought this was a pretty good one:

\"Wish I could give every celly some commissary,
And the po po bring the heat on them priest like they did R. Kelly, And I
Wish that DOC could scream again
And bullets could reverse so Pac and Biggie breath again, (I wish)
Then one day they could speak again,
I wish that we only saw good news every time we look at CNN\"

Twista Ft. Faith Evans- Hope


Some more:


\"The Thing I treasure most in life, cannot be taken away
There will never be a reason why I will
Surrender to your advice
To change myself, I\'d rather die
Though they will not understand
I will make the greatest sacrifice
You can\'t predict where the outcome lies
you\'ll never take me alive
I\'m alive\"
Disturbed- I\'m Alive

\"Crowded streets all cleared away
One by One
Hollow heroes separate
As they run

You\'re so cold
Keep your hand in mine
Wise men wonder while
Strong men die\"

+

\"If you find your family, don\'t you cry
In this land of make-believe, dead and dry

You\'re so cold, but you feel alive
Lay your hands on me one last time\"

Breaking Benjamin- So Cold (Basically half the song :p)



I\'ll think of more later

there good

i have to find the one later that reminds me of the "12 yr old" in my band lol

Here's another, And possibly my favorite quote ever:
"Thats why we sing for these kids
Who don't have a thing
except for a dream and a fuckin rap magazine
who post pin-up pictures on their walls all day long
Idolize their favorite rappers and know all their songs
Or for anybody who ever been through shit in their lives
So they sit and they cry at night, wishin they'd die
Till they throw on a rap record, and they sit and they vibe
We're nothing to you, but we the fuckin' shit in their eyes
Thats why we, seize the moment try and freeze it and own it
Squeeze it and hold it, cuz we consider these moments golden
And maybe they'll admit when we're gone
Just let our spirits live on through our lyrics that you hear in our songs and we can..."

Eminem- Sing for the Moment

eminem=most awesome rapper lyric wise ever he didnt have to rap about no hoes to get famous

Em is pretty versatile, which is what I love about him. He has his joke songs like Ass Like That and Just Lose It, and then he has his serious songs, and then occasionally he'll throw a regular rap song in, like his verses in Smack That and Bitch.
