So lately I've had this one song stuck in my head for about a week now and the song is fantastic, really works me up and the lyrics just flow amazingly well with the song. The song is Rise Against's injection and the chorus goes like this:

So give me the drug, keep me alive
Give me what's left of my life
Don't let me go, whooaa
Pull this plug, let me breathe
On my own, I'm finally free
Don't let me go, whooaa

I just find these lyrics so powerful and awe inspiring.
Do you have any favourite lyrics or any lyrics that inspire you?

"Will I be alone this morning
Will I need my friends
Something just to ease away the pain
And now I never see the loneliness
Behind my face
I am just a prisoner to my faith

If I could only stand to stare in the mirror, could I see
A fallen hero with a face like me
And if I scream, could anybody hear me
If I SMASH the silence you'll see what fame has done to me

Kiss away the pain and leave me lonely
I'll never know if love's a lie
Ooh, being crazy in paradise is easy
Do you see the prisoners in my eyes

Where is the love
To shelter me
Give me love
Love set me free
Where is the love
To shelter me
Only love
Love set me free...
Set me free"

Lyrics from "The Idol" by W.A.S.P.

 

[Valkyrie101]

Here's a topical one, the chorus to Sabaton's Purple Heart:

Fallen in war
We belong to history
Fallen in war
Sleep six feet below
Heart of the brave
Cannot bring me back to life
Fallen in war
Still brothers in arms

 

[Snarky Username]

"And when you lose control, you'll reap the harvest you have sown
And as the fear grows, the bad blood slows and turns to stone
And it's too late to lose the weight you used to need to throw around
So have a good drown, as you go down all alone
Dragged down by the stone"

Dogs by Pink Floyd.

Well, here's a close second.

"The lines are drawn, the orders are in,
the Dance Commander is read to sin.
Radio message from HQ!
'Dance Commander, we love you'"

 

[LightningBanks]

Deep in the recess of every man
lies a thief, a robber, a criminal
Below the surface of every hero
Lies a restless evil

And though I try to resist
I find the thing is this
Until I get it theres no satisfaction

Project 86- Evil (a chorus of resistance)

All I can think off at the moment, Im sure I know better ones

 

[superbatranger]

Cryonics! Reanimate this life
Remake the fleshy juggernaut
In which the mind will ride
Cryonics! A wisdom is preserved
Frozen forever evolutionary curve
O a renaissance of mad technology
Segregate the wise eliminate the weak
O painstaking process onward we weed
Reproduce the strong eliminate

Heresy some say its blasphemy
Assuring I'll be in hell when god is through with me
To live again to forge yourself anew
To live again to face the godless truth
Foolery some say it'll never be
Fear will condemn such radical ideology
To live again to stand above your brood
To live again the phoenix raised unbruised

The Black Dahlia Murder-I Will Return

 

[Cosplay Horatio]

Every set of lyrics from The Pirates Charles and Gallows Humor. The reason why I only give the band names is because every time I search for their lyrics the internet redirects me to advert sites.

 

[tomtom94]

The choruses to either Rise Against's Survive or Weezer's Pork and Beans.

Truly inspiring songs, both of them.

 

[Jamboxdotcom]

Hier leben die blinden
die glauben was sie sehen,
und die tauben die glauben
was sie hoeren.

translated:
Here live the blind
who believe what they see,
and the deaf who believe
what they hear.

from "Haus der Luege" (House of Lies) by Einstuerzende Neubauten.

the rest of the lyrics are amazing as well, but it'd take me some time to dig them all up and post them with translations. soooo full of amazing word-play and double meanings. plus it's amazing musically.

 

[BlueberryMUNCH]

There are a lot, but the one that means the most to me right now are:

I've said it once, I've said it twice, I've said it a thousand fucking times

That I'm ok, that I'm fine, that it's all just in my mind

But this has got the best of me and I can't seem to sleep

It?s not because you?re not with me, It?s because you never leave.

Bring Me the Horizon- It Never Ends.

Don't judge me xD

EDIT- Although, upon reading the comment above this one, I am truly stricken with awe.

 

[GodofDisaster]

The sky is dyed with crimson red
That comes out of the darkness of what needs to be said
The stars we use to know no longer glow
Obscured by all the ash that falls like snow
I watched it all through the window of my grief
I never dreamed that I would feel so cold there I come for you.

All of my hopes are in a shroud of desolation
Dreams that I once had have all been crushed
Now that ever things changed
I've been holding on so desperately
To the precious things that I cannot protect
Cause I always break them

My heart is played just like a harp
By sinful hands of darkness with nails oh so sharp
Your voice is like a drug that makes me numb
It leaves me with no senses deaf and dumb
No matter how we try to win this war
It never ends and why it must be me
who does the fighting

Even if all the light around us is extinguished
Even if the earth is turned to dust
I won't ever forget that tiny wish that burns eternally
It will guide us to a better world somewhere

There I come for you ash like snow
It's falling down from your sky

Ash like snow
Ash like snow
Ash like snow
Let me hear why I have to fight?

And now all of my hopes are in a shroud of desolation
Dreams that I once had have all been crushed
In exchange for the glory that can overcome the choking dark
I have given up the strength I used
To protect what I love, (It's falling from your sky
I don't know what to do (Baby I come for you)

Ever time that I'm cut by broken shards of what was once a dream
I will reach into the darkness of my heart
And I will try to find the strength to carry on

Cause I made it this far

The lyrics to the fan dub version sung brilliantly by YouTube user, Geekymcgeekstein Original Japanese version sung by the Brilliant Green.
By god do I love that song, both versions In fact I enjoy the English version more.

 

[Ninonybox_v1legacy]

[Brightzide]

Basically, all of Sugar ray- When it's over. Just because it's so god damn cheery and pleasant to listen to.

eg. All the things that I used to say
All the words that got in the way
All the things that I used to know
Have gone out the window
All the things that she used to bring
All the songs she used to sing
All the favorite TV shows
Have gone out the window

 

[Zyphonee]

Take me out tonight
Because I want to see people and I Want to see life
Driving in your car
Oh, please don't drop me home
Because it's not my home, it's their Home,
and I'm welcome no more
And if a double-decker bus
Crashes into us
To die by your side
Is such a heavenly way to die
And if a ten-ton truck
Kills the both of us
To die by your side
Well, the pleasure - the privilege is mine

[Artina89]

Grab the chair, boys! We've got another bucket kicker!

(Chorus)
Happy Birthday my olde friend.
It seems this horror show will never end.
Any moment's your last breath,
Here is to another day closer to death.

The cake is on the table,
And it is awfully bright,
'Cause there's so many candles on top.
But you are so decrepit,
Your chest so tight,
When you blow them out your lungs are gonna pop. (Popping sound)

You cannot complain
Each time you feel a pain,
Though you have arthritis and gout.
'Cause when you start kvetching,
All your teeth fall out.

So have another cigarette,
Have another beer,
Raise your glass to one more year. (GONE!)

(Chorus)

Your skin is so worn out and old,
All over your body it's sagging.
Especially loose is your old caboose,
You're dragging it behind you in a wagon.

Well, you're an alcoholic,
And you're blind and deaf,
And you have Alzheimer's I bet.
You're too old to remember,
But you're too drunk to forget.

So have another cigarette,
Have another beer,
Raise your glass to one more year. (GONE!)

(Chorus)

You're so old you smell like dust,
And now your bones begin to rust.
See that face, it's full of wrinkles.

So have another cigarette,
Have another beer,
Raise that chair to one more year. (RAISE!)

(Chorus)

"Happy birthday my olde friend" by Voltaire. We played it at my dad's birthday

But this is probably my favourite:

"The dark will rise
Abandon your freedom
Give up the right to find the true self
Forsake your own reasons"

Awww Yah!
Billy?s at the bar, he?s been there all night
First ten beers he?s had, since her goodbye
HEY! HEY!

She left him broke, in his new truck
He don?t smoke, but he lights one up
Temporary fix, for his heartache
He?s hurting bad, but he?s feeling great

He?s on the dance floor yelling Freebird
Singing off pitch but he knows every word
Grabs him a girl and he holds on tight
He?s chasing everything in sight
He?ll fall apart when he gets home
But right now his worries are gone
Life looks good, good, good
Billy?s got his beer goggles on
Hey!

Lot of drunks, get real mean
They?ll pick a fight, over anything
Billy wants to laugh, that?s why he?s here
You won?t see him cry, unless you spill his beer

He?s on the dance floor yelling Freebird
Singing off pitch but he knows every word
Grabs him another girl and he holds on tight
Now he?s chasing everything in sight
He?ll fall apart when he gets home
Right now his worries are gone
Life looks good, good, good
Billy?s got his beer goggles??. on

He?s on the dance floor yelling Freebird
Singing off pitch but he knows every word
Grabs him another girl he hold on tight
He don?t see ugly
Through blood shot eyes
He?ll fall apart when he gets home
But right now his worries are gone
Cause life looks good, good, good
So good, good, good,
Life looks good, good, good
Billy?s got his beer goggles??.on

"If heaven and hell decide
that they both are satisfied,
illuminate the no's
on their vacancy signs.

If there's no-one beside you
when your soul imparts,
then I'll follow you
into the dark."

 

[MRMIdAS2k]

Does it hurt to remember
Does it help to forget
Do you know what you started
When you lit the fuse of regret

There's not a reason why you've come undone
There's nothing left to justify, this can't go on
There's nothing left inside as I walk this broken land

Cause you're living on a paper sun
Blind to all the damage done
Living on a paper sun
Waiting for the tide to turn
Living on a paper sun
You can't hide and you can't run
All your dreams have come and gone
Living on a paper sun

Do you still hear 'em screamin'
And does the fear make you run
Is the anger inside of you
A gift from father to son

I don't believe in you, you've come undone
I don't believe in what you do, this can't go on
I don't believe in you as I walk this broken land

Cause you're living on a paper sun
Blind to all the damage done
Living on a paper sun
Waiting for the tide to turn
Living on a paper sun
You can't hide and you can't run
All your dreams have come and gone
Living on a paper..

You will discover the way to suffer
And like no other you feed the fire

There's not a reason why you've come undone
There's nothing left to justify, this can't go on
There's nothing left inside as I walk this broken land

Cause you're living on a paper sun
Blind to all the damage done
Living on a paper sun
Waiting for the tide to turn
Living on a paper sun
Waiting for the night
All your dreams have come and gone

 

[leviathanmisha]

"Screaming on the inside, I am frail and withered
Cover up the wounds that I can't hide
Walls that lie between us, the saint within the sinner
I have lost the nerve but it's all right

Carry the wounded and shut your eyes
All will be forgiven, none will rise
Bury the fallen and lead the blind
I will find the lost, dead inside

Into the nothing, faded and weary
I won't leave and let you fall behind
Live for the dying, heaven, hear me
I know we can make it out alive"

The first set of lyrics is from "Into the Nothing" by Breaking Benjamin

---------------------------------------


"Rosaries left under the mattress of the memories who could bear the witness
As you slip into oblivion, use it like a weapon
Am I left to bleed waiting for the moment when you've had your fun
A loaded gun

Take away your broken misery, I don't want to waste your memory
This love, this love is gonna be the end of me
Everything I gave is wasted, I'm the one who suffocated
This love, this love is gonna be the end of

Can't resist poisoning the message
Just a narcissist trapped inside the wreckage
And the sympathy I had is gone deadened by the ceremony
Drama queen stand behind your empire as your kingdom falls all because


Take away your broken misery, I don't want to waste your memory
This love, this love is gonna be the end of me.
Everything I gave is wasted, I'm the one who suffocated
This love, this love is gonna be the end of me."

The second set of lyrics comes from "End of Me" by Apocalyptica ft. Gavin Rossdale

Yeah, that's all I got.
