The most striking lyrics you have ever heard
What are the most striking and epic lyrics you've immediately at the very first half of the second fallen in love with after you heard them for the first time?

should I post nearly every P!nk lyrics? 
but this one is really special to me:
I'll keep you locked in my head
Until we meet again
Until we, until we meet again
And I won't forget you my friend
What happened?
If someone said three years from now
You'd be long gone
I'd stand up and punch them out
‘Cause they're all wrong
And that last kiss I'll cherish
Until we meet again
And time makes it harder
I wish I could remember
But I keep your memory
You visit me in my sleep
My darling, who knew?

Hope there's someone
Who'll take care of me
When I die, will I go
Hope there's someone
Who'll set my heart free
Nice to hold when I'm tired
There's a ghost on the horizon
When I go to bed
How can I fall asleep at night
How will I rest my head
Oh I'm scared of the middle place
Between light and nowhere
I don't want to be the one
Left in there, left in there

You're like my yo-yo
That glowed in the dark.
What made it special
Made it dangerous,
So I bury it
And forget.
Queen

I'm gonna try this with an artist that I don't normally listen to. Here it goes
P!nk - Are We All We Are
Quote:
Four, that's how many years it took me to get through the lesson
That I had to do it all my own
Three, that's how many Hail Mary's they would pay for me
Thinkin' I was gonna end up all alone
Two, for second chances that you've given me
Can it be lucky me, lucky me
Now let's go
One, it's what we are, it's what we are

My heart used to be cold
Til your hands laid on my soul.
That's why you're beautiful.

Lily Allen - Hym
Quote:
Would you please take me away from this place?
I cannot bear to see the look upon your faces
And if there is some kind of God, do you think He's pleased
When He looks down on us I wonder what He sees
Do you think He'd think the things we do are a waste of time?
Maybe He'd think we are getting on just fine
Do you think He's skint or financially secure?
And come election time I wonder who He'd vote for
Ever since He can remember
People have died in His good name
Long before that September
Long before hijacking planes
He's lost the will, He can't decide
He doesn't know who's right or wrong
But there's one thing that He's sure of
This has been going on too long
Do you think He'd drive in his car without insurance?
Now is He interesting or do you think He'd bore us?
Do you think His favorite type of human is Caucasian?
Do you reckon He's ever been done for tax evasion?
Do you think He's any good at remembering people's names?
Do you think He's ever taken smack or cocaine?
I don't imagine He's ever been suicidal
His favorite band is Creedence Clearwater Revival
Ever since He can remember
People have died in His good name
Long before that September
Long before hijacking planes
He's lost the will, He can't decide
He doesn't know who's right or wrong
But there's one thing that He's sure of
This has been going on too long

Dinah Washington - This Bitter Earth
Quote:
This bitter earth
What fruit it bears
What good is love
That no one shares
And if my life is like the dust
That hides the glow of a rose
What good am I
Heaven only knows
This bitter Earth
Can it be so cold
Today you're young
Too soon you're old
But while a voice
Within me cries
I'm sure someone
May answer my call
And this bitter earth
May not be so bitter after all...
|
Jane Siberry - Calling All Angels
Quote:
Oh, a man is placed upon the steps, a baby cries
High above, you can hear the church bells start to ring
And as the heaviness, oh the heaviness, the body settles in
Somewhere you could hear, a mother sing
Then it's one foot then the other as you step out on the road
Step out on the road, how much weight, how much weight?
Then it's how long and how far and how many times
Oh, before it's too late?
Calling all Angels, calling all Angels
Walk me through this one, don't leave me alone
Calling all Angels, calling all Angels
We're trying, we're hoping, but we're not sure how
Oh, and every day you gaze upon the sunset
With such love and intensity
Why, it's ah, it's almost as if you could only crack the code
You'd finally understand what this all means
Oh, but if you could, do you think you would
Trade it all, all the pain and suffering?
Oh, but then you would've missed the beauty of
The light upon this earth and the sweetness of the leaving

Bruce Springsteen - Streets of Philadelphia
Quote:
I was bruised and battered, I couldn't tell what I felt.
I was unrecognizable to myself.
Saw my reflection in a window and didn't know my own face.
Oh brother are you gonna leave me wastin' away
On the streets of Philadelphia.
I walked the avenue, 'til my legs felt like stone,
I heard the voices of friends, vanished and gone,
At night I could hear the blood in my veins,
It was just as black and whispering as the rain,
On the streets of Philadelphia.
Ain't no angel gonna greet me.
It's just you and I my friend.
And my clothes don't fit me no more,
A thousand miles
Just to slip this skin.
Night has fallen, I'm lying awake,
I can feel myself fading away,
So receive me brother with your faithless kiss,
Or will we leave each other alone like this
On the streets of Philadelphia.

spaceships are lifting off
of a dying world
and millions are left behind
while the sky burns
there wasn't room for you and i
only you
goodbye
goodbye
By the great and talented Frank Ocean.

Lots of Kate Bush and Bat For Lashes lyrics always catch my ear.

frank ocean - bad religion
Quote:
Taxi driver
Be my shrink for the hour
Leave the meter running
It's rush hour
So take the streets if you wanna
Just outrun the demons, could you?
He said "allahu akbar", I told him don't curse me
"But boy you need prayer", I guess it couldn't hurt me
If it brings me to my knees
It's a bad religion
This unrequited love
To me it's nothing but
A one-man cult
And cyanide in my styrofoam cup
I could never make him love me
Never make him love me
Love, love...
Taxi driver
I swear I've got three lives
Balanced on my head like steak knives
I can't tell you the truth about my disguise
I can't trust no one
And you say "allahu akbar", I told him don't curse me
"But boy you need prayer", I guess it couldn't hurt me
If it brings me to my knees
It's a bad religion
This unrequited love
To me it's nothing but
A one-man cult
And cyanide in my styrofoam cup
I could never make him love me
Never make him love me
No, no
It's a bad religion
To be in love with someone
Who could never love you
Only bad
Only bad religion
Could have me feeling the way I do

A lot of P!nk's songs 
JGMAR/Who Knew/Try/Glitter in the Air/The Great Escape all have very strong imagery alongside the flawless lyrics

I kinda liked the song but when I read and understood the lyrics, I fell in love with it.

'where love is lost your ghost is found" Turning Tables - Adele (which I got tattooed)
'funny you're the broken one , but I'm the only one who needed saving' Rihanna - Stay
Born This way is a lyrical genius manifestation for Gaga:
Quote:
'I'm on the edge of something final we call life, tonight" The Edge Of Glory - Lady Gaga
"I'm gonna marry the night, I'm gonna marry the dark, gonna make love to the stark, I'm a soldier to mine own emptiness, I'm a winner" Lady Gaga - Marry The Night
"She's a free soul burning roads with a flag in her bra, she's got a rainbow syrup in her heart that she bleeds" Highway Unicorn - Lady Gaga
"We are not just art for Michelangelo to carve, he can't rewrite the aggro of my furried heart" Bloody Mary - Lady Gaga
|
"everytime I try to fly I fall without my wings. , I feel so small" Everytime - Britney Spears
off the top of my head, from my pop agenda.
