Lyrics Reminder

[Sammael Bard]

Show 'em (What you're made of) by Backstreet Boys (Album: In A World Like This)

Released in 2013, this song has been on my favorites ever since. Inspirational, a bit haunting and of course, the trademark backstreet boys chorus makes it a really good song

Gloves are off, Ready to fight
Like a lion I will survive.
Will I? Will I?

You gotta stand for something
Even if you stand alone, don’t be afraid
It’s gonna be alright

 

[drteetho]

LOL! I don't think the artist will hound you from his grave.

Some people might not be so convinced...

... but yeah, I'm pretty sure I'll be fine.

 

[VenusButterflies]

I'm surprised there are no Nine Inch Nails lyrics on this thread. Perhaps that's what I'm here for?

"The Only Time"

I'm drunk.
And right now I'm so in love with you.
And I don't want to think too much about what we should or shouldn't do.
Lay my hands on Heaven and the sun and the moon and the stars.
While the devil wants to fuck me in the back of his car.

[Chorus:]
Nothing quite like the feel of something new.
Maybe I'm all messed up.
Maybe I'm all messed up.
Maybe I'm all messed up in you.
Maybe I'm all messed up.
Maybe I'm all messed up.
Maybe I'm all messed up.
Maybe I'm all messed up in you.
Maybe I'm all messed up.
This is the only time I really feel alive.
This is the only time I really feel alive.

I swear.
I just found everything I need.
The sweat in your eyes the blood in your veins are listening to me.
Well I want to wrap it up and swim in it until I drown.
My moral standing is lying down.

I love those last few lines - "I swear. I just found everything I need. The sweat in your eyes the blood in your veins are listening to me. Well I want to wrap it up and swim in it until I drown . . ." Just the desire to be wholly consumed by someone -- someone who wants to consume you, no matter the consequences. Fuck the consequences when every single cell in your body is screaming. Right?

 

[VenusButterflies]

And another really good one, by Nine Inch Nails:

"Suck"

There is no god up in the sky tonight
No sign of heaven anywhere in sight
All that was true is left behind
Once I could see now I am blind
Don't want your dreams you try to sell
This disease I give to myself

How does it feel? [x2]

She makes it sweeter than the sun
I get too tight I come undone
I bow my head to confess
The temple walls are made of flesh
Runs up my arms 'til I'm on track
Itches my skin right off of my back
I'll heal your wounds
I'll set you free
I'm Jesus Christ on Ecstacy

How does it feel? [x2]

[whispered]
I am so dirty on on the inside [x4]

How does it feel? [x2]

Suck [x4]

[whispered]
A thousand lips a thousand tongues
A thousand throats a thousand lungs
A thousand ways to make it true
I want to do terrible things to you

I fucking love, "I'll heal your wounds, I'll set you free. I'm Jesus Christ on Ecstasy." It's the double meaning -- referring to the drug, and alluding to a wholly consuming rapture, but from sex, not the love of God.

 

[Sammael Bard]

I don't usually hear Nine Inch Nails, but those 2 songs are going up into my playlist.

Thanks for the addition.

 

[VenusButterflies]

They are very good!

Glad I could share!

 

[Aynmair]

Nin

Speaking of NIN, Reznor's Hurt and Johnny Cash's version of Hurt are classics and eviscerating.

 

[Bramblethorn]

And another really good one, by Nine Inch Nails:

"Suck"

nitpick: technically that's NIN covering a song by Pigface, although Reznor was a member of Pigface. Still a good pick!

I also like the NIN version of Adam Ant's "Physical":

I want the touch of your charms
The heat of your breath
I wanna say all those things
That would be better unsaid

 

[VenusButterflies]

Here's another that kind of always turns me on *blush*

Type O Negative, "Christian Woman"

Forgive her
For she knows
Not what she does....

A cross upon her bedroom wall.
From grace she will fall.
An image burning in her mind.
And between her thighs.

A dying God-man full of pain.
When will you cum again?

Before him beg to serve or please.
On your back or knees.

There's no forgiveness for her sins.
Prefers punishment?

Would you suffer eternally
Or internally?

Ah.

For her lust
She'll burn in hell.
Her soul done medium well.

All through mass
manual stimulation
Salvation.

This, I think, would make a good story. Hmm . . . Maybe I'll write it. Theology AND sex? Yes please!

Pieces by Sum41(Album: Chuck)

This one was quite a rage in my HS. It's lyrics fit my thoughts so perfectly that I had to add this one.

This place is so empty
My thoughts are so tempting
I don't know how it got so bad
Sometimes it's so crazy
That nothing can save me
But it's the only thing that I have

You're welcome!

This place is so empty
My thoughts are so tempting
I don't know how it got so bad
Sometimes it's so crazy
That nothing can save me
But it's the only thing that I have

I like it. I have to concur with you on identifying with the lyrics.

 

[VenusButterflies]

Oh! This song, it's kind of heartbreaking:

Interpol, "The New"

I wish I could live free
Hope it's not beyond me
Settling down takes time
One day we'll live together
And life will be better
I have it here, yeah, in my mind
Baby, you know someday you'll slow
And baby, my hearts been breaking.

I gave a lot to you
I take a lot from you too
You slave a lot for me
Guess you could say I gave you my edge

But I can't pretend I don't need to defend some part of me from you
I know I've spent some time lying

Those two last lines . . . I've been on both ends of that. Sigh.

 

[Sammael Bard]

Demons by Imagine Dragons (Album: Night Visions)

This song struck its chord after I was 10 pages into my pre-modern theological/romantic story. This has been on and off in my favorites from the last year.

I wanna hide the truth
I wanna shelter you
But with the beast inside
There's nowhere we can hide

No matter what we breed
We still are made of greed
This is my kingdom come
This is my kingdom come

 

[SikFuk]

Here's my favorite Hayes Carll song (better known for "She Left Me For Jesus")

There's a girl downtown with freckles on her nose
Pencils in her pocket and ketchup on her clothes
She's a real nice girl, pretty as a plate
The boys call her Katie when they ask her on a date
And who knows Katie? Maybe you could be the one

There's a boy outside standin' in the rain
His hands are in his pockets he's a wonderin' why he came
He's a real nice boy, slower than the fall
The girls call him Billy if there callin' him at all
And who knows Billy? Maybe you could be the one

(Chorus)
But hearts don't fly and words don't sing
Boys like you can't buy no ring
Love's not stuck it just moves slow
Turn around a minute and away we go

Billy walked inside, ordered up a drink
He started gettin' nervous and a wonderin' what she'd think
She thought he looked nice, rough around the seams
Just the kind of boy who could listen to her dreams
And who knows Katie? Maybe he could be the one

Well, they stepped outside, and took a little walk
Katie held his hand and Billy even talked
They sat by the pond, they didn't make a sound
The night fell easy as the moon came down
And who knows baby? Maybe we could be the one

(Repeat Chorus)

 

[SikFuk]

Randy Newman

She's a real emotional girl
She wears her heart on her sleeve
Every little thing you tell her
She'll believe
She really will

She even cries in her sleep
I've heard her
Many times before
I never had a girl who loved me
Half as much as this girl loves me
She's real emotional

For eighteen years she lived at home
She was Daddy's little girl
And Daddy helped her move out on her own
She met a boy
He broke her heart
And now she lives alone
And she's very, very careful
Yes she is

She's a real emotional girl
Lives down deep inside her heart
She turns on easy
It's like a hurricane
You would not believe it
You gotta hold on tight to her
She's a real emotional girl

 

[Sammael Bard]

Best of Me by Sum41 (Album: Underclass Heroes)

This song came into my mind as I tried my hand with a romance story. I left it at 2 pages but the song gave me the inspiration to write 16 pages more before giving up.

It's so hard to say that I'm sorry
I'll make everything alright
All these things that I've done
Now what have I become, and where'd I go wrong?
I don't mean to hurt, just to put you first
I won't tell you lies (I'm sorry)
I will stand accused
With my hand on my heart
I'm just trying to say
I'm sorry
It's all that I can say
You mean so much
And I'd fix all that I've done
If I could start again
I'd throw it all away
To the shadows of regrets
And you would have the best of me

 

[Sammael Bard]

Breakeven by The Script

This song is dedicated to the LW category. Emotional and heartbreaking...


I'm still alive but I'm barely breathing
Just prayed to a God that I don't believe in
'Cause I got time while she got freedom
'Cause when a heart breaks, no, it don't break even

Her best days were some of my worst
She finally met a man that's gonna put her first
While I'm wide awake she's no trouble sleeping
'Cause when a heart breaks no it don't break even... even... no

What am I supposed to do when the best part of me was always you?

And what am I supposed to say when I'm all choked up and you're OK?

I'm falling to pieces, yeah,
I'm falling to pieces

They say bad things happen for a reason
But no wise words gonna stop the bleeding
'Cause she's moved on while I'm still grieving

And when a heart breaks no it don't break even, even... no

What am I gonna do when the best part of me was always you?

And what am I supposed to say when I'm all choked up and you're OK?

I'm falling to pieces, yeah,
I'm falling to pieces, yeah,
I'm falling to pieces

(One still in love while the other one's leaving)

I'm falling to pieces

('Cause when a heart breaks, no, it don't break even)

Oh, you got his heart and my heart and none of the pain

You took your suitcase, I took the blame.

Now I'm tryin' make sense of what little remains, ooh

'Cause you left me with no love and honour to my name.

Always loved, moving the river by prefab sprout. It starts with:

You surely are a truly gifted kid
But you're only good as
The last great thing you did
And where've you been since then
Did the schedule get you down?
I hear you've got a new girlfriend
How's the wife taking it?

There's this jingle they aired on the radio in Reno when my wife used to live there. It's an ad for a burrito place and if one of us says the first few lines it gets stuck in the other's head for the rest of the day.

Burritos in the morning
Burritos at night
Super Burritos, we do it right.
Super Burritos
Super Burritos
Super Burritos
We do it right!

Maybe if enough people get it stuck in their heads, it'll leave my wife and I alone.
