LYRICS

(Goodbye)
November 10th , a cold dark night
You could feel that something wasn't right.
That night many hearts did cry
When we learned we had to say goodbye.

All embraced under one common song
the body is dead but life lives on.

Good-bye Stephen. Good-bye you friend. You were so young.

The Cars lined the streets, as it was coming to an end.
The sun shined so brightly the day we buried our friend.

Losing in the fall, lost innocence came down
An 18 year old boy was buried in the ground.
A family's broken hearts, a friend's streaming tears.
The light lost in death, the living's growing fears.
Of Eternal darkness or is it spiritual light to come with terms with death on the darkest night.
A brother lost a brother, a friend lost a friend, a mother lost a son but stephen's soul will never end.

(You were so young)
(Good-bye)
A brother lost a brother, a friend lost a friend, a mother lost a son but stephen's soul will never end.

[Gnarmageddon]

Cavanaugh Park, for personal reasons.

[Angry Balled Fists!]

Your mum's song LOLLOL

:(

Actually, i dunno, i can't think of one.

[Mute Print]

Thursday - "Standing On The Edge Of Summer", because it is about the last time the lead singer saw his grandmother, and realized she was dying. I went through a similar time a few years ago, so this song really means a lot to me.

In this room I'm sitting by your side.
'Cause it rains for hours and the phone is off its hook.
Standing on the edge, casting lots to set me up before you knock me down,
off the summer's edge and drown me.
We're betting on our own lives, making up for all the time we lost.
In this house of cards we're all holding hearts and spades
(one breath, one step could knock it all down)
but you lead with your eyes and you give it away
(decide, design to cut from the clouds).
When the people you love get lost in the shuffle,
(when you leave, you leave nothing but broken heart)
you let it go and then you fold.
So we stay on the open road.
We drive for hours and still no end in sight at all.
Driving in your car, miss the stop sign, fall in love, just to get knocked out.
Pull your punches and burn with your cigarettes.
Pulled like a punch and burnt like a cigarette?
forever.

[I Lie. I Cheat. I Steal.]

My boufriend (Before he was my boyfriend) sent me the lyrics to Greenday's Only of You and it was really sweet and corny and I was like AWWWW :) That was nice.

[thomas is fast]

Whoops I OD'd because I have a friend that died of heroin. There's some others that I can't think of at the moment.

[Permanent Solution]

The vast majority of Thrice's Identity Crisis album. I was struggling with a lot of the issues it addressed and probably listened to it over 50 times in a few months.

Brand New - "Guernica"

Ever since I was young
Your word is the word that always won
Worry and wake the ones you love
A phone call I’d rather not receive
Please use my body while I sleep
My lungs are fresh and yours to keep
Kept clean and they will let you breathe

Is this the way a toy feels
When its batteries run dry
I am the watch you always wear
But you forget to wind

Nobody plans to be half a world away at times like these
So I sat alone and waited out the night
The best part of what has happened was the part I must have missed
So I’m asking you to shine it on
And stick around
I’m not writing my goodbyes

I submit no excuse
If this is what I have to do
I owe you every day I wake
If I could I would shrink myself
Sink through your skin to your blood cells
Remove whatever makes you hurt
But I am too weak to be your cure

Is this the way a toy feels
When its batteries run dry
I am the watch you always wear
But you forget to wind

Nobody plans to be half a world away at times like these
So I sat alone and waited out the night
The best part of what has happened was the part I must have missed
So I’m asking you to shine it on
And stick around
I’m not writing my goodbyes

I’m not letting you check out
You will beat this starting now
You will always be around
I’m there to monitor your breathing
I will watch you while you’re sleeping
I will keep you safe and sound

Does anybody remember back when you were very young
Did you ever think that you would be this blessed

Nobody plans to be half a world away at times like these
So I sat alone and waited out the night
The best part of what has happened was the part I must have missed
So I’m asking you to shine it on
And stick around
I’m not writing my goodbyes

The lyrics are about Jesse's grandfather when he died of cancer. It was during writing or recording of their record (Can't remember which), and Jesse just felt he had let him down for not being there when he was in hospital and everything. This is how I feel a lot about my grandad who died the same way, and it's just a really eerie song for me to listen to now.

[Deathcult666]

Green Day is a bunch of queers

GWAR's Salaminizer touched me

heres some lyric:


Here's a little something from a God to a slave,
I never should of been let out the f**king microwave!
We're on this planet and we're running amok,
I should give a s**t but I don't give a f**k!
Ever since I was a scumdog, I blew a C*m-wad.
I need a mother-f**king suckad**kalickalong!
Burning a mall or two, blowing the load I spew.
You don't wanna f**king f**k me! I'll F**k you!
This is your @$$, and I'm in it.
My man sexy will f**k you up in a minute.
With an axe, sword, mace, pike your limbless.
Then I'll f**k your @$$ till its rimless!

[Chorus:]
Oh! You humans always screaming!
Oh! As you suckle on my s***n!
Oh! And the s**t is always steamin'
A drunk, a pervert, a junkie and a womanizer.
But you can call me the salaminizer
Give unto give unto give unto give unto

My life is a luxury, so filled with hate.
I got fifty slaves heaping maggots on my plate.
From my fortress in Antarctica I watch the world die
On my Sony Trinitron that's switched to channel 5.
Back on the road, its no lie....
Stupid f**king humans pay money to die!
Crushed in the pit, nailed to the stage
I only suck the souls that are underage.

[Chorus]
Oh! You humans always screaming!
Oh! As you suckle on my s***n!
Oh! And the s**t is always steamin'
A drunk, a pervert, a junkie and a sodomizer.
But you can call me the salaminizer
Give unto give unto give unto give unto

Pop punk is that franz ferdinand and Blink 182 bull**** that most of america likes

yeah well they can all die and do the world a favor

[clearvision]

Typical R+M'er...haha...

Hmm a song that means something to me...

Maybe Korn's Counting on me.

The chorus goes 'counting on me, always hoping i'll be, there for all of your problems and in turn you're never there for me'

Or tool's H ... I am too connected to you,drift away, fade away. You taste the way I still feel you, touching me, holding me.

The rest of the songs aren't too relevant/important to me, those lines are just really key to the way I have felt in the past.

I tend to listen to music in album form, as an escape from stuff. Big albums for me have been Radiohead's Kid A, NiN's The Downward Spiral and A Perfect Circle's Thirteenth step. These albums are like an escape into someone else's life for me, really useful for self evaluation and stuff, I'm probably not making sense but those albums are the music that has really touched me.

Korn rock as much as green day, thrice and other bands mentioned in this thread*. Franz Ferdinand are alt/indie. You should just go get banned somewhere.

Green day still sux

but Tool is awesoome

that song "Hooker with a *****" is so great :thumb:

[cbmartinez]

Thursday- "How Long Is The Night?"

I will never sleep again
(I will never even close my eyes)

It's all I ever see anymore
But the day was so bright in the pictures
In the photo album that you gave me
It's all I have to live for

Can't say I can really relate to it but the song really makes me emotional.

mewithoutYou- "Carousels"

On a bus ride into town, I wondered "Why am I going to town?"
I looked around at the billboards and the stores I thought,
"Why do I look around?"
so I got out and I bowed and kissed the filthy ground
and in the first dry spot I found I laid down without having to wonder why I was laying down.
Before long I was too cold and so took a bus back to the station
I found a letter left by a pay phone with no return contact information,
it was addressed: To total strangers,
it read like a horn blown by some sad angel
"Bunny, it was me who let you down"
it was the shyest attempt I'd ever seen at conversation
if I didn't have You as my guide I'd still wander lost in Sinai
counting the plates of cars from out-of-state,
(how I could jump in their path they hurry along!)
until you could surround me, you're pretty but you're all I can see,
like a thick fog - if there was no way into God,
I would never have laid in this grave of a body for so long,
St. Cyril's fair always came through the first week of September
but it's already the 19th and there's no sign of it yet.
I have a hard time remembering the things I should remember
and a hard time forgetting the things I should forget.
Oh Christ when You're ready to come back I think I'm ready for You to come back
but if You want to stay wherever exactly it is You are,
that's okay too - it's really none of my business.
If I didn't have You as my guide I'd still be wandering lost in Sinai
or down by the tracks watching trains go by to remind me:
There are places that aren't here.
I had a well but all the water left so I'll ask Your forgiveness with every breath,
if there was no way into God,
I would never have laid in this grave of a body
So long, dear.

The lyrics for this are really incredible. Most of Catch For Us The Foxes really touches me, especially "Disaster Tourism." Not really the lyrics on that song but the song itself is just incredible.

Thrice- "In Years To Come"

I want to write the perfect song,
and play it just for you,
while you are tangled up in sleep.
I need you more than ill ever know
until I stop breathing
my lungs will take you for granted.

I think these are my favorite lyrics ever. Pretty self-explanatory.

Green day still sux

but Tool is awesoome

that song "Hooker with a *****" is so great :thumb:

Hooker is probably their worst song. It is a complete Joke, not tool-ish at all. Go listen to push!t or Third eye, then talk to me about tool. Green day only sucks because you are trying to be as cool as possible. And with a name like yours i'd be expecting Cannibal Corpse, Burzum and Mayhem to be your favourite bands, not Korn and Tool.

Please, you are in the pop-punk forum, the majority of people like green day, they are one of the most well known pop-punk bands. If you want to discuss RnM bands and slate pop-punk head over to RnM.

Glad that's out of the way.

Oh, and to add to this thread, I've found that a lot of Brand New songs are very meaningful. Especially "Guernica", which Kif mentioned a few minutes ago.

[Kif]

I'd like to add Blink-182's "Stay Together For The Kids" to that list as well, for obvious reasons I'm too tired to write about

[MysweetFracture]

I listen to Dashboard Confessional once in a while, but I'm not familiar with that song.


Try that song and "screaming infidelities"- both VERY good acoustic songs. Pretty whiny, but hey- we all love it.

[CrimbleVan]

matchbook romance's "Playing For Keeps"

it applies to me at this stage in my life... missing ex, wishing he'd come back even tho hes horrible to me now, yada yada the whole she-bang :rolleyes:

I guess the songs that have touched me were some blink songs. i.e. Carousel. That was a long time ago though. I dunno any music I listen to now that really has touched me. I don't pay attention to lyrics much now.

[SunnyDayRealEstateAM]

"I Wanna Be A Homosexual" by Atom And His Package.

[I-cant-sing]

Chick magnet by mxpx

[Independent_CA]

Blink-182's "Apple Shampoo" and "Lemmings" as well as "Adam's Song".

Thrice's "The Beltsville Crucible" and "See You In The Shallows".

Flogging Molly's "If I Ever Leave This World Alive".

Brand New's "Magazines".

Plus more that I can't think of.


Deathcult666
Death metal sucks, pretzels suck, and you suck too!

Chick magnet by mxpx

Yes, that's amazingly touchy.

Jamaican Me Crazy/ Scream It Until You're Coughing Up Blood - Against Me!

Really touching song about friendships and stuff.

[Fire Away]

Blink 182's Staying Together For The Kids, the whole song

And:

"And time stands still
When noone understands you
And you don't quite understand youself
But just know this that,
God is faithfull
Even when you dont have faith yourself"
-MxPx, "Tomorrow's Another Day"

And the entire song of Greed Day's 'The Grouch' is me in 15 years time.

[Drop The Baby]

The Descendents- Thank You (Karl Alvarez)

I listen to you for hours, I'll listen all day
Just keep hitting me the right way
Sing your song in the shower
Cause you got a way
To say what I can never say right - right on
When I feel weak you make me feel strong
Make me feel strong

I won't say your name
But you know who you are
I'll never be the same again now - no way
I just want to say
Thank you for playing the way you play

You don't get played on the radio
That's not the game you play
Well I don't care anyway
I glued your tape in the stereo
So I know every word, every note
And every chord is right - right on
When I feel weak you make me feel strong
Make me feel strong feel like nothing's wrong

I won't say your name
You know who you are
I'll never be the same again now - no way
I just want to say thank you for playing the
Way you play

Did you know you're why I go
And waste my time
At a rock and roll show
You let me know I'm not alone
You make me feel strong, make me feel strong,
Feel like nothing's wrong

I won't say your name, you know who you are
I'll never be the same again now - no way
I just want to say
Thank you for playing the way you play
Thank you for playing the way you play
Thank you for playing the way you play


There are others, but this song is simply incredible, the lyrics are so so good and personal

[chumpradio]

Guernica and Stay Together For The Kids, both songs which Kif mentioned, are the two I was going to say.
My reason for Guernica is near enough the same, and it's pretty obvious about STFTK.

Hidden in Plain View's "In Memory" is very heartfelt and pretty painful to listen to

This feeling never dies. The fever never breaks.
It shakes under your skin, and drips across your face.
It speaks to me, telling me you're terrified of this disease,
cause you look so weak. As it's ripping through your body,
it's tearing through me.

And these are your last words, "I'm sorry"
Right before my eyes, can't believe this is goodbye
Keep staring right into my eyes, and look at me for the last time

So empty but your lies are filled with apathy.
Be careful with your words to save your energy
Speak to me, cause I'm so terrified of
what's happening, so be strong for me
Because it's so easy to die, when it's so hard to breathe

To see you suffering,
Oh my god I think its killing me

And these are your last words, "I'm sorry"
Right before my eyes, can't believe this is goodbye

If this is the last time, I've never been so terrified
If this is the last time, I'll never look in your eyes

[REAL_FOB/TBS/BN_FAN]

[Mute Print]

I have another song to add:

Amber Pacific - "Gone So Young"

I never dreamt it'd be this way
I lost any chance for me to say
To say that I miss you, say that I love you
Will someone please tell me I'm okay

I wasn't prepared for what's to come
A life made of memories gone so young
And now I'm regretting all I've done
But in your heart know that I'm with you all along

Wherever you go, I will be waiting
Whenever you call, I will be there
Whatever it takes, I'll make your darkest days so bright
I'm in your heart tonight

I never thought that this could go
And take me away from all I know
And leave me to think I'm on my own
But your love will take me, you were the one...

...Who sat through nights
You held me tight
And made sure I'm okay
And I thank you for the love you gave to me

Wherever you go, I will be waiting
Whenever you call, I will be there
Whatever it takes, I'll make your darkest days so bright
I'm in your heart tonight...

Tonight...

Wherever you go, I will be waiting
Whenever you call, I will be there
Whatever it takes, I'll make your darkest days so bright
Wherever you go, I will be waiting
Whenever you call, I will be there
Whatever it takes, I'll make your darkest days so bright
And if I should fall, I know you're waiting
And if I should call, I know you're there
If ever you cry just know
I'm in your heart tonight...
I'm in your heart tonight.

This song is so meaningful to me because it is about losing a loved one. I have a few family members over the last couple years, and this song means a lot because of that.

The Get Up Kids - I'll Catch You
Your arms in mine, anytime
I wouldn't trade anything
You're still my everything

This song is probably one of the only songs I cried the first time I heard it.

Elliott Smith - Pretty (Ugly Before)
sunshine, been keeping me up for days
there is no night time, it's only a passing phase
and i feel pretty, pretty enough for you
i felt so ugly before, i didn't know what to do

sometimes is all i feel up to now
but it's not worth it to you
cos you gotta get high somehow
is it destruction that you require to feel?
like somebody wants you, someone that's more for real

sunshine, been keeping me up for days
there is no night time, only a passing phase
and i'll feel pretty, another hour or two

i felt so ugly before, i didn't know what to do
i felt so ugly before, i didn't know what to do
i felt so ugly before, i didn't know what to do
ugly before

I can't explain. This song is just it.

[TMA]

Something Corporate - Konstantine
From the first time I heard that song, It just really got to me. I still get shivers down my spine when I hear it.

[These_Green_Eyes]

"Warning" by: Incubus

In my opinion, the most beautiful song ever.

Thursday - "Standing On The Edge Of Summer", because it is about the last time the lead singer saw his grandmother, and realized she was dying. I went through a similar time a few years ago, so this song really means a lot to me.

'Cause it rains for hours and the phone is off its hook.
Standing on the edge, casting lots to set me up before you knock me down,
off the summer's edge and drown me.
We're betting on our own lives, making up for all the time we lost.
In this house of cards we're all holding hearts and spades
(one breath, one step could knock it all down)
but you lead with your eyes and you give it away
(decide, design to cut from the clouds).
When the people you love get lost in the shuffle,
(when you leave, you leave nothing but broken heart)
you let it go and then you fold.
So we stay on the open road.
We drive for hours and still no end in sight at all.
Driving in your car, miss the stop sign, fall in love, just to get knocked out.
Pull your punches and burn with your cigarettes.
Pulled like a punch and burnt like a cigarette?
forever.

I second this song, just reading the lyrics you think its about a girlfriend but no its much more personal that it. Also Brand New "the boy who blocked his own shot" because it was the 1st song me and my girlfriend made out to, and also mistakes and regrets by ...and you will know us by the trail of dead, i dunno why it just does.

This song is probably one of the only songs I cried the first time I heard it.

[B]Elliott Smith - Pretty (Ugly Before)
sunshine, been keeping me up for days
there is no night time, it's only a passing phase
and i feel pretty, pretty enough for you
i felt so ugly before, i didn't know what to do

sometimes is all i feel up to now
but it's not worth it to you
cos you gotta get high somehow
is it destruction that you require to feel?
like somebody wants you, someone that's more for real

sunshine, been keeping me up for days
there is no night time, only a passing phase
and i'll feel pretty, another hour or two

i felt so ugly before, i didn't know what to do
i felt so ugly before, i didn't know what to do
i felt so ugly before, i didn't know what to do
ugly before

I can't explain. This song is just it.

This was the 1st vinyl i bought for my girlfriend, not including yes :lol:

brand new's seventy times seven
I bet there isn't one person in this forum that can listen to this song and not sing the breakdown at the top of their lungs.

Bright Eyes(even though I know you guys don't like them)- Waste of Paint... "and I have no faith, but it's all I want" pretty much summed me up in one line.

Boxcar Racer - There is. Long story, but a repetative one.

This vacation's useless
These white pills aren't kind
I've given a lot of thought on this 13-hour drive
I miss the grinding concrete where we sat past 8 or 9
And slowly finished laughing in the glow of our headlights
I've given a lot of thought to the nights we use to have
The days have come and gone
Our lives went by so fast
I faintly remember breathing on your bedroom floor
Where i laid and told you, but you sweared you loved me more

Do you care if i don't know what to say
Will you sleep tonight, will you think of me
Will i shake this off pretend its all okay
That there someone out there who feels just like me
There is

Those notes you wrote me
I've kept them all
I've given a lot of thought of how to write you back this fall
With every single letter in every single word
There will be a hidden message about a boy that
loves a girl

Do you care if i don't know what to say
Will you sleep tonight, will you think of me
Will i shake this off, pretend its all okay
that There's someone out there who feels just like me
There is

Do you care if i don't know what to say?
Will you sleep tonight, will you think of me
Will i shake this off, pretend its all okay
That there's someone out there who feels just like me

Do you care if i don't know what to say?
Will you sleep tonight, will you think of me
Will i shake this off, pretend its all okay
That there's someone out there who feels just like me
There is.
