[Verse 1]
Suddenly, all your history's ablaze
Try to breathe, as the world disintegrates
Just like autumn leaves, we're in for change
Holding tenderly to what remains
And all your memories are as precious as gold
And all the honey and the fire which you've stole
Have you running through all your red-cheeked days
Shaking loose these souls from their sacred hiding space

[Chorus]
Hold your heart courageously
As we walk into this dark place
Stand steadfast, erect and see
That love is the province of the brave

[Verse 2]
Pushed under this expanse of bursting stars
Let this burning brightly illuminate the where we are
In this hollow that lovers voices occupy
Let it follow that we let it free, let it fly
Breaking open the walls of this cage
Intoxicated, oh so amazed
Much like falcons tumbling from the heights at play
Conjoined, talons engaged

[Chorus]
Hold these hearts courageously
As we walk into this dark place
Stand steadfast beside me and see
That love is the province of the brave

This Is The Day
The The
1983

Well you didn't wake up this morning 'cause you didn't go to bed
You were watching the whites of your eyes turn red
The calendar on your wall was ticking the days off
You've been reading some old letters
You smile and think how much you've changed
All the money in the world couldn't buy back those days
You pull back the curtains
And the sun burns into your eyes
You watch a plane flying
Across a clear blue sky
This is the day, your life will surely change
This is the day, when things fall into place
You could have done anything, if you wanted
And all your friends and family think that you're lucky
But the side of you they'll never see
Is when you're left alone with your memories
That hold your life together, like glue
You pull back the curtains
And the sun burns into your eyes
You watch a plane flying
Across a clear blue sky
This is the day, your life will surely change
This is the day, when things fall into place
This is the day (This is the day)
Your life will surely change
This is the day (This is the day)
Your life will surely change
This is the day (This is the day)
Your life will surely change
This is the day (This is the day)
Your life will surely change
This is the day (This is the day)
Your life will surely change
This is the day (This is the day)
Your life will surely change
This is the day (This is the day)
Your life will surely change
This is the day (This is the day)
Your life will surely change

Charlie's Inferno is a great one for me. So much being said in this one about the folly of chasing "the good life" for nothing more than the promise of divine reward.

But choice lines like:

Attention whores in padded bras hanging from extension cords / tortured with the products from their favorite catalogues

Just really strike my fancy. What an amazing rhythm and mental image.

"That the road that leads to nowhere is long
And that those who seek to go there are lost
The guiding lights, they lead you on
And the road that leads to nowhere is long"
from "Guiding Lights" by Ghost

"One day you will be the one to reach the sky
Ride on wings of dreams and fly away
Dreams come true, your fate will come to life (dragonborn)
Use the magic in your heart, dragonborn"
- Dragonborn by Twilight Force

"The power before me
Ascend to the edge of glory
Tonight shooting far across the sky"
Highway to Oblivion by Dragonforce

"I'm riding a pony
Into the sunset
Everything's green and gold
So I'm not in hell yet"
-"Mt St.Helens is about to Blow Up" by Bill Wurtz

>>1201925
Lotta Forces in here

>>1201926
Let the Force be with You

>>1201927
Forces of Evil, perhaps

>>1201928
did you say "Forces of Evil?"

>>1201929
That depends, how much ass are you going to kick if I did?

I know no one cares for my translations of my country's stuff, but whatever. I like doing it and this is a lyrics thread.

Have a real goddamn dark song about Child Soldiers, cause why not. This one always fucks me up.

[b]The World's Littlest Company[/i]

There's Juan, who is six years old
Eduardo, who is nine
And Theresa, who neither of them know that well
They are all that remains of their army's littlest company
There used to be ten of them

They sneak along between the bullet-ridden houses
'Cause Antonio is hiding - where could he be?
He was here just a second ago
He's as quick as a mouse

They were together this morning when the soldiers left
Riding away in their cars that none of them heard
It wasn't until the rain started
And they saw a chopper flying far too low to the ground
That they quickly snuck away and hid
But Antonio stayed behind
And let loose his anger
Against the planes who dropped heavy metals
He managed to fire his machinegun once before everything went dark

Antonio is the seventh
Of a little company of ten
Now there's only three left
Carrying Antoni's body
They're Juan, who is six years old
Eduardo, who is nine
And Theresa, who neither of them know that well
They're all that remains of their army's littlest company

They watched as their parents were shot
Not like in the movies - the bullets were real
They don't go to school, 'cause there's a crater where it used to be
And they don't wash themselves, 'cause the water's colored red with blood

They are wearing black armbands
Watch as they march along
Towards another day and another battle
In this war against the grown-up soldiers

But outside the cityi limits, atop a hill
They hear someone singing
It's a song that they know well
It's the Black Armbands' fight song

And so the night comes to New Paraguay
When daytime comes, they'll be ten once more
There'll be Juan, who is six years old
Eduardo, who is nine
Theresa, who neither of them know that well
And all the rest of them - The World's Littlest Company[/i]

>>1201930
all of it!

>>1201933
That is more ass than you can handle!

>>1201934
you underestimate the amount of ass i can handle!

>>1201936
Sounds like empty, ass-inine bragging to me

>>1201937
nah, i'm dead ass serious about this!

Ik heb niet langer hinder
van jaloers zijn op een vlinder
als ook vlinders moeten sterven
laat ik niet mijn vreugd bederven


Ik kan zonder vliegen leven
wat zou ik nog langer geven
om een vlinder die verdronken is in mei?
Om te leven hoef ik echt geen vlinder meer te zijn

>>1201938
>>1201938
Well let me know if you need ass-istance.

>>1201918
i have many such songs that have gotten stuck in my head before at different times ...different ones that express one or all of the above, i think

right now? ....

Unicycle Groove by replacer & Koa

[Verse 1 - Koa & replacer]
Hi friend!
I hope you don’t mind me stoppin’ by
Just thought
You looked a little misty in the eyes
If it’s okay
I’d like to help you out today
What do you say?
I guess?

[Pre-Chorus - Koa & replacer]
Let’s suss out this rusty-dusty mess
Seems like you got a block up in your head
It’s true I’m just a little blue
Stuck in a rut, don’t know what to do
I can think of a couple things
To bring back the bling, if you know what I mean
I’m really not sure that I do
Let Izzy walk you through

[Chorus - Koa]
Oh – fluff out the feathers
Get in the flow – shake out the glitter
Lettin’ it go – splashin’ the color
We’re gonna break that cycle
Ooh – stitch in the sequins
It’s up to you – craft out your feelin’s
Doodly doo – a new kind of healin’
Get in the unicycle groove
[Post Chorus - Koa]
Get in the groove
Show me your moves
Get in the unicycle groove
Get in the groove
Show me your moves
Get in the unicycle...

[Break - Koa & replacer]
Did you like it when I said I was "a little blue"?
Huh?
'Cause I'm a blue...
A blue what?
Horse...
Oh!
Who is little?
Yeah, yeah you are
Does that make sense?
Uh-huh!

[Verse 2 - replacer & Koa]
Hey, so
Not that I don’t appreciate it, but
I’m not
The most experienced with all this stuff
What if what I make
Amounts to nothing more than a mistake?
What if it breaks?
[Pre-Chorus 2 - Koa & replacer]
Hmm, well, then
We’ll pick up the pieces, work together
To make something new, ‘cause it’s whatever
You don’t need to fret, it’s good to make
To make for just creation’s sake
I only wish that I could trust
That I’m not gonna mess it up
There’s nothing wrong at all, my friend
With happy little accidents

[Chorus - Koa & replacer]
Oh – fluff out the feathers
Get in the flow – shake out the glitter
Lettin’ it go – splashin’ the color
We’re gonna break that cycle
Ooh – stitch in the sequins
It’s up to you – craft out your feelin’s
Doodly doo – a new kind of healin’
Get in the unicycle groove

[Post Chorus - Koa & replacer]
Get in the groove
Show me your moves
Get in the unicycle groove
Get in the groove
Show me your moves
Get in the unicycle...
[Break]

[Chorus - Koa & replacer]
Oh – fluff out the feathers
Get in the flow – shake out the glitter
Lettin’ it go – splashin’ the color
We’re gonna break that cycle
Ooh – stitch in the sequins
It’s up to you – craft out your feelin’s
Doodly doo – a new kind of healin’
Get in the unicycle groove

[Post Chorus - Koa & replacer]
Get in the groove
Show me your moves
Get in the unicycle groove
Get in the groove
Show me your moves
Get in the unicycle...

[Break - Koa & replacer]
Okay, just one question
Lay it on me
Doesn't one typically ride on a unicycle?
Well, maybe next time you can write the lyrics!
Well, maybe I will!
Oh, yeah! Now you're in the...

[Post Chorus - Koa & replacer]
Groove
Get in the groove
Show me your moves
Get in the unicycle groove
Get in the groove
Show me your moves
Get in the unicycle groove
Get in the groove
Show me your moves
Get in the unicycle groove
Get in the groove
Show me your moves
Get in the unicycle groove

Err'day, a new gender (new gender)
I post the truth to the youth and you censor (new gender)
Can’t seem to get rid of me, do better (do better)
It’s 2023, and still there is only 2 genders
2 genders, I quote the facts, you delete, you’re too tender
Man, y’all gotta do better
I love the Bible and it says there’s only 2 genders

Ponyville, I was in love with you
But I'm trying something new
You don’t need me now
I knew it was too good to be true
I knew that we'd both lose
And you've let me down

[Chorus]
It’s time to say goodbye
'Cause I've learned how to fly
Don't wanna see you anytime soon
All tension's thin out here
In this cool atmosphere
So, I'll be living here on the moon

[Post-Chorus]
La, da, da, da, da
La, da, da, da, da
La, da, da, da, da, da
La, da, da, da, da

[Verse 2: Emily Jones]
Look at me, trottin' here on my own
I mean, look how far I've flown
It’s already growing on me
Come to think of it, you’ll never see me again
Don't even ask me how I’ve been
And don't even think about me
No, oh

[Chorus]
It's time to say goodbye
'Cause I’ve learned how to fly
Don't wanna see you anytime soon
All tension's thin out here
In this cool atmosphere
So, I'll be living here on the moon
Here on the moon

[Solo]

[Bridge]
This is no game of hide and seek
I guess I just need time to think
So, face the facts
'Cause I won't be back

[Chorus]
It's time to say goodbye
'Cause I've learned how to fly
Don't wanna see you anytime soon
All tension's thin out here
In this cool atmosphere
So, I'll be living here on the moon
I'm not playing hide and seek
I just need time to think
So I'll be thinking here on the moon
[Post-Chorus]
La, da, da, da, da
La, da, da, da, da
La, da, da, da, da, da
La, da, da, da, da

[Outro]
La, da, da, da, da, da
La, da, da, da, da, da
La, da, da, da, da, da, da, da
La, da, da, da, da
La, da, da, da, da

I woke up from the strangest dream
It almost felt just like a memory
It felt like I was someone else
Another version of myself
And then he was gone

My past is waiting just beyond
It almost feels just like a shadow
Or could the shadow just be me
The silhouette of somebody
And I’m nobody.
The sun went down
On this forgotten town
I had my friends around
We watched from far above it all
I always felt so small

And do they know
The doubt within me grows
That we will meet again
We sat and watched the twilight glow

I promised we would stay friends

But summer had to end.

I called your name
But you were not the same
And maybe I’m to blame
For I had changed the most of all
I almost can’t recall

We met again
But different from before
As something less than friends
And maybe it’s too late for us

To return to destiny
If only in a memory
From somewhere long ago.

The song Double Vision features the phrase
My mind is racing but my body's in the lead
And I love that one line so much when I hear it over the store speakers.

>>1202205
This song always hits hard

Oh, heres a chunk I always liked from the song "Social Mediasochist"

It's a song I mostly just originally enjoyed for the insane amount of Slasher mocie references innthe video,and the song is largely a song about a guy who's torturing himself by looking at the social media page of an ex who is definitely not the perfect girl he'd convinced herself she was.

And really, I just love the mental images the chorus conjures up


I know what you want to imply
But I think I'm leaving instead
'Cause I know I need to say goodbye
To the version of you that lives in my head

'Cause you're just like that old line
I've always heard about love
It's always on your time
And I think I've had enough
The "always-maybes" were your ideal
So what I fell in love with was never real

'Cause sooner or later you're back for more
And just another black dress on his bedroom floor
And I'm stuck reading about my fate
Through every photo post and status update
While you wait for three and four
Honey I just can't play anymore

>>1201918
There's not really a point of me saying anything for this one other than: "Please watch and listen."

Unsure if I can post from my phone correctly, but here we go: Twiztid - Plastic

What if I'm not so bad like all the things they said?
Now the memories hang crooked in picture frames on the walls inside my head
When have I let you down or broken your frame?
Say I'm the wrong, and then do the same
Dust me off
Fake, facsimile, phony world that forgot me
A counterfeit, a hoax, a forgery, a fugazi
Tryna kill they minds after poisoning all they bodies
Tearing down each other, no other possible hobbies
Speaking they mind, and no motherfucker will stop me
I wanna be the sick template others can copy
Downloading demented, deadly views that I embody
They hate me the most, I am the oddity
Flawed, failed, wrong, condescending, sarcastic
Last of the humans in the world of the plastic
Kinda hard to fit in when you stand out
Hard to understand what you're all about
Who am I, and what do I know?
Hold tight and don't let go
Don't let go
Don't let go
What if I'm not so grim and morbid all the time?
And I don't wanna have to correct, and I don't wanna change your mind
When have I left you all alone by yourself?
Say I'm the same and leave with somebody else
Dust me off
I been running from something, I don't know what it is
Relentless, it keeps coming, sucking the life from
Inside of me, outta me, gotta be
Some kind of medicine, lobotomy is worthy of mentioning
Somebody put a shot in me, now, how do we get all their attention
So they can can feel the pain and the tension?
Look at all the money we're spending
Just feel that ascension, all of it is just like pretending
Flawed, failed, wrong, condescending, sarcastic
Last of the humans in the world of the plastic
Kinda hard to fit in when you stand out
Hard to understand what you're all about
Who am I, and what do I know?
Hold tight and don't let go
Don't let go
I don't feel like I belong here
Not the same, so that we're clear (don't let go)
I don't wanna have to be somebody that I don't like
I don't live for the fear, I live for the fight (don't let go)
I don't feel like I belong here
Not the same, so that we're clear (don't let go)
I don't wanna have to be somebody that I don't like
I don't live for the fear, I live for the fight
Flawed, failed, wrong, condescending, sarcastic
Last of the humans in the world of the plastic
Kinda hard to fit in when you stand out
Hard to understand what you're all about
Who am I, and what do I know?
Hold tight and don't let go
Don't let go
Don't let go
Don't let go
Don't let go
