Answer 1

the mountain goats- golden boy

you must try to lead a good life

you must do unto others as you would have them do

so that when you die you'll find golden boy peanuts waiting in the

afterlife for you

there are no pan asian supermarkets down in h**l

so you can't buy golden boy peanuts

there are no pan asian supermarkets down in h**l

so you can't buy golden boy peanuts

if thine enemy oppresseth you

you must let him oppress you some more

so that when you go shopping in paradise

you'll find those magnificent peanuts from singapore

with the drawing of the young chinese farmer

the eastern sun behind him smiling at you from the shelves

if we want to spend eternity in happiness

well we're gonna have watch ourselves

you must give to the march of dimes

you must be on guard against wickedness at all times

and you'll find that your efforts have brought you great joy

when your spirit is munching on that golden boy

there are no pan asian supermarkets down in h**l

so you can't buy golden boy peanuts there

but the streets of heaven are lined with shelves

and there's billboards of the golden boy everywhere

there are no pan asian supermarkets down in h**l

so you can't buy golden boy peanuts

there are no pan asian supermarkets down in h**l

so you can't buy golden boy peanuts

Answer 2

Life it seems, will fade away

Drifting further every day

Getting lost within myself

Nothing matters no one else

I have lost the will to live

Simply nothing more to give

There is nothing more for me

Need the end to set me free

Answer 3

Guns N' Roses - Civil War

"What we've got here is failure to communicate.

Some men you just can't reach...

So, you get what we had here last week,

which is the way he wants it!

Well, he gets it!

N' I don't like it any more than you men." *

Look at your young men fighting

Look at your women crying

Look at your young men dying

The way they've always done before

Look at the hate we're breeding

Look at the fear we're feeding

Look at the lives we're leading

The way we've always done before

My hands are tied

The billions shift from side to side

And the wars go on with brainwashed pride

For the love of God and our human rights

And all these things are swept aside

By bloody hands time can't deny

And are washed away by your genocide

And history hides the lies of our civil wars

D'you wear a black armband

When they shot the man

Who said "Peace could last forever"

And in my first memories

They shot Kennedy

I went numb when I learned to see

So I never fell for Vietnam

We got the wall of D.C. to remind us all

That you can't trust freedom

When it's not in your hands

When everybody's fightin'

For their promised land

And

I don't need your civil war

It feeds the rich while it buries the poor

Your power hungry sellin' soldiers

In a human grocery store

Ain't that fresh

I don't need your civil war

Look at the shoes your filling

Look at the blood we're spilling

Look at the world we're killing

The way we've always done before

Look in the doubt we've wallowed

Look at the leaders we've followed

Look at the lies we've swallowed

And I don't want to hear no more

My hands are tied

For all I've seen has changed my mind

But still the wars go on as the years go by

With no love of God or human rights

'Cause all these dreams are swept aside

By bloody hands of the hypnotized

Who carry the cross of homicide

And history bears the scars of our civil wars

"We practice selective annihilation of mayors

And government officials

For example to create a vacuum

Then we fill that vacuum

As popular war advances

Peace is closer" **

I don't need your civil war

It feeds the rich while it buries the poor

Your power hungry sellin' soldiers

In a human grocery store

Ain't that fresh

And I don't need your civil war

I don't need your civil war

I don't need your civil war

Your power hungry sellin' soldiers

In a human grocery store

Ain't that fresh

I don't need your civil war

I don't need one more war

I don't need one more war

Whaz so civil 'bout war anyway

Answer 4

Evanesence-My Immortal

My Immortal lyrics

I'm so tired of being here

Suppressed by all my childish fears

And if you have to leave

I wish that you would just leave

'Cause your presence still lingers here

And it won't leave me alone

These wounds won't seem to heal

This pain is just too real

There's just too much that time cannot erase

When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears

When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears

And I held your hand through all of these years

But you still have

All of me

You used to captivate me

By your resonating light

Now I'm bound by the life you left behind

Your face it haunts

My once pleasant dreams

Your voice it chased away

All the sanity in me

These wounds won't seem to heal

This pain is just too real

There's just too much that time cannot erase

When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears

When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears

And I held your hand through all of these years

But you still have

All of me

I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone

But though you're still with me

I've been alone all along

When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears

When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears

And I held your hand through all of these years

But you still have

All of me

Answer 6

Boston - A man I'll never be

Its about a boy and a girl that are in relationship. The Girl won't see the boy as he is, either thinks or expects too highly of him. The Boy sees this and is saddened that he can't be good enough for her.

(Lyric)

If I said whats on my mind

Youd turn and walk away

Disappearing way back in your dreams

Its so hard to be unkind

So easy just to say

That everything is just the way it seems

You look up at me

And somewhere in your mind you see

A man I'll never be

If only I could find a way

Id feel like Im the man you believe I am

And it gets harder every day for me

To hide behind this dream you see

A man I'll never be

I cant get any stronger

I cant climb any higher

Youll never know just how hard Ive tried

Cry a little longer

And hold a little tighter

Emotions cant be satisfied

You look up at me

And somewhere in your mind you see

A man Ill never be

If only I could find a way

Id feel like Im the man you believe I am

And it gets harder every day for me

To hide behind this dream you see

A man I'll never be

Answer 9

the dead flag blues- godspeed you! black emperor

the car's on fire and there's no driver at the wheel

and the sewers are all muddied with a thousand lonely suicides

and a dark wind blows

the government is corrupt

and we're on so many drugs

with the radio on and the curtains drawn

we're trapped in the belly of this horrible machine

and the machine is bleeding to death

the sun has fallen down

and the billboards are all leering

and the flags are all dead at the top of their poles

it went like this:

the buildings tumbled in on themselves

mothers clutching babies picked through the rubble

and pulled out their hair

the skyline was beautiful on fire

all twisted metal stretching upwards

everything washed in a thin orange haze

i said: "kiss me, you're beautiful -

these are truly the last days"

you grabbed my hand and we fell into it

like a daydream or a fever

we woke up one morning and fell a little further down -

for sure it's the valley of death

i open up my wallet

and it's full of blood

sorry for posting the entire lyrics, i hate when people do that, but it doesnt mean anything if you dont read all of em

Answer 10

Eminem-When I'm gone, I would put the lyrics down but there is a ton of them sooo heres a youtube link to the vid.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YIT3xvCHQ...

Alot of people dont like him but this song has alot of passion and means alot. Plus alot of people can relate because the words he uses are true for alot.

Answer 11

Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody (kind of an obvious choice for me, but it is beautiful)

"Is this the real life?

Is this just fantasy?

Caught in a landslide,

No escape from reality

Open your eyes, Look up to the skies and see,

I'm just a poor boy, I need no sympathy,

Because I'm easy come, easy go, Little high, little low,

Any way the wind blows doesn't really matter to me, to me

Mama just killed a man,

Put a gun against his head, pulled my trigger, now he's dead

Mama, life had just begun,

But now I've gone and thrown it all away

Mama, ooh, Didn't mean to make you cry,

If I'm not back again this time tomorrow,

Carry on, carry on as if nothing really matters

Too late, my time has come,

Sends shivers down my spine, body's aching all the time

Goodbye, ev'rybody, I've got to go,

Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth

Mama, ooh, I don't want to die,

I sometimes wish I'd never been born at all"

Thats probably the most meaningful part of it. i remember crying the first time i heard it. and the second time. and most of the times after that... =]

Answer 12

Eve6-Girlfriend.

But I can't run to you nomore, to catch me when i'm falling, I know i have to let you go, but i will not be broken, no i will not be broken

For every tear, a lesson learned, every good time golden. I know i have to let you go, but i will not be broken.

Answer 13

The Beatles - Within You Without You

written by George Harrison

this song is so inspirational to me.....

and the sitar work is amazing

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GrxRAvnU1...

We were talking about the space between us all

And the people who hide themselves behind a wall of illusion

Never glimpse the truth, then it's far too late, when they pass away

We were talking about the love we all could share

When we find it, to try our best to hold it there with our love

With our love, we could save the world, if they only knew

Try to realise it's all within yourself

No one else can make you change

And to see you're really only very small

And life flows on within you and without you

We were talking about the love that's gone so cold

And the people who gain the world and lose their soul

They don't know, they can't see, are you one of them?

When you've seen beyond yourself then you may find

Peace of mind is waiting there

And the time will come when you see we're all one

And life flows on within you and without you

****The line "When you've seen beyond yourself then you may find peace of mind is waiting there" is my favorite lyric from any line in any song. ever

=)

Answer 14

Last December by Iced Earth

a song about teenage suicide that IS NOT EMO! :p

(by the way it was really hard to pick something because there are loads that i love to bits!)

The howling winds blow

On this moonlit night

Eyes locked in fear

With a dark embrace

The bitter cold winds

Freeze the tears that fall

Hands held in grace

As we take the final step

Obsessed with our love

Here is our fate

To need the final call

On this special winter day

A message to our elders

They surely won't forget

Our love must last forever

In death we shall not part

It seems like only yesterday

Our lives together planned

They say it's just a passing phase

We're damned by our youth

Why does no one understand

What we have is real

This is not your average love it's forever

Last December

Mother you have forced us here

Last December

Father now we'll disappear

Last December

One last step we fade away

So we take the final step

Heed the final call

Together we are strong

Divided we must fall

Teenage suicide

Our only way out

Together we might live

Divided we must fall

Last December

Mother you have forced us here

Last December

Father now we'll disappear

Last December

One last step we fade away

John Lennon's----Woman

Woman I can hardly express

My mixed emotions at my thoughtlessness

After all Im forever in your debt

My inner feelings and thankfulness

For showing me the meaning of success

Ooh, well, well

Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo

Ooh, well, well

Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo

Woman I know you understand

The little child inside of the man

Please remember my life is in your hands

And woman hold me close to your heart

However distant dont keep us apart

After all it is written in the stars

Ooh, well, well

Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo

Ooh, well, well

Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo

Well

Woman please let me explain

I never meant to cause you sorrow or pain

Now and forever

I love you, yeah, yeah

my favorite verse:

Woman I know you understand

The little child inside of the man

And woman hold me close to your heart

However distant dont keep us apart

After all it is written in the stars

Answer 16

Burzum- A lost forgotten sad spirit. I know it souns a bit emo but its not

The Fire in the Sky is Extinguished

Blue Waters no Longer Cry

The Dancing of Trees Has Stopped

The Stream of Freshness from Cold Winds

Exists no Longer

The Rain Has Stopped to Drip

From the Sky

Still Dripping Exists

From the Veins of a Nearly Dead Boy

Once There Was Hatred

Once There Was Cold

Now

There is Only

A Dark Stone Tomb

With an Altar

An Altar which

Serves As a Bed

A Bed of Eternal Sleep

The Dreams of the Human in Sleep

Are Dreams of Relief

A Gate out of h**l

Into the Void of Death

Yet Undisturbed

The Human Sleep

And One Day

Will the Grave Be Unlocked

And the Soul

Must Return to His World

But This Time as

A Lost Forgotten Sad Spirit

Doomed

To Haunt

Endlessly

Answer 18

"Beautiful" By 10 Years

beauty over wisdom to fit in with their style

your Cinderella story's for a price

vanity's a business built to fleece the unique

silicon and stars collide, the rest will fall in line

just as beautiful as you are

It's so pitiful what you are

you should have seen this coming all along

visually you're stimulating to my eyes

your Cinderella syndrome's full of lies

your insecurities are concealed by your pride

pretty soon your ego will kill what's left inside

just as beautiful as you are

It's so pitiful what you are

you should have seen this coming all along

It's so pitiful what you are

as beautiful as you are

you should have seen this coming all along

you're everything that's so typical

maybe you're alone for a reason, you're the reason

it's so pitiful what you are, you should have seen this coming all along

just as beautiful as you are

It's so pitiful what you are

you should have seen this coming all along

It's so pitiful what you are

as beautiful as you are

you should have seen this coming all along

My favorite part is

"just as beautiful as you are

It's so pitiful what you are

you should have seen this coming all along"

Now the meaning of the song is that who he is singing about is a terrible person and that what happened to them was meant to happen based on how they act.  I just love it though, the tune and everything.

Answer 19

"Seaweeds like emerald veins

She sleeps beneath the breaking weight

A silent dying ocean's slow defeat

The floods will rise and take us all

An end to all this quarrel

A final grace to rid her grief

Oh, Mother show no mercy for me

Wash the stains away

Come unto me again

Open yourself beneath us all (swallow)

Purge the soil

Burn the surface

Erase

Erase

Erase the past again"

Answer 20

From Yesterday- 30 Seconds To Mars

    I think the songwriter's a frickin genius

--------------------------------------...

Hes a stranger to some

And a vision to none

He can never get enough,

Get enough of the one

For a fortune he'd quit

But its hard to admit

How it ends and begins

On his face is a map of the world

(A map of the world)

On his face is a map of the world

(A map of the world)

From yesterday, its coming!

> From yesterday, the fear!

From yesterday, it calls him

But he doesn't want to read the message here

On a mountain he sits, not of gold but of ****

through the blood he can look, see the lives that he took

From a council of one

He'll decide when he's done with the innocent

On his face is a map of the world

(A map of the world)

On his face is a map of the world

(A map of the world)

From yesterday, its coming!

From yesterday, the fear!

From yesterday, it calls him

But he doesn't want to read the message

he doesn't want to read the message

He doesn't want to read the message here

And what I choose is my voice

Answer 23

Free  Will And Testament (Wyatt, Kramer)

Given free will but within certain limitations,

I cannot will myself to limitless mutations,

I cannot know what I would be if I were not me,

I can only guess me.

So when I say that I know me, how can I know that?

What kind of spider understands arachnophobia?

I have my senses and my sense of having senses.

Do I guide them? Or they me?

The weight of dust exceeds the weight of settled objects.

What can it mean, such gravity without a centre?

Is there freedom to un-be?

Is there freedom from will-to-be?

Sheer momentum makes us act this way or that way.

We just invent or just assume a motivation.

I would disperse, be disconnected. Is this possible?

What are soldiers without a foe?

Be in the air, but not be air, be in the no air.

Be on the loose, neither compacted nor suspended.

Neither born nor left to die.

Had I been free, I could have chosen not to be me.

Demented forces push me madly round a treadmill.

Demented forces push me madly round a treadmill.

Let me off please, I am so tired.

Let me off please, I am so very tired.

Answer 24

Opeth - Benighted

Most pretty lyrics of all time.

Come into this night

Here we'll be gone

So far away

From our weak and crumbling lives

Come into this night

When days are done

Lost and astray

In what's vanished from your eyes

What came and distorted your sight

Saw you benighted by your fright

Come into this night

Your plight alone

Carry your weight

You are flawed as all of us

Come into this night

You only home

It's never too late

To repent, suffer the loss

What came and distorted your sight

Saw you benighted by your fright

What came and distorted your sight

Saw you benighted by your fright

Come into this night

When you're able

To undo your deeds

And atone with your lonely soul

Once you're into this night

All minds are stable

Forget all your needs

Lose the grip of all control

Answer 27

Cupid's Victim, by Tiger Army

Without a warning it comes flying-

And when it strikes my world changes,

all reason left behind

Without a warning it comes flying-

and its to late to resist it for my fate is sealed

And I know... My heart's no longer mine

Just like an arrow through my heart

A feeling so strong

A scarlet fever burns my soul

From this moment on

Can't shake this fever from my mind

It burns away all that has passed

And draws me to her side

"A direct hit" the cupid smiles...

Wounded, I fall into delirium

And I know... my heart's no longer mine

Just like an arrow through my heart

A feeling so strong

A scarlet fever burns my soul

From this moment on
