Words That Mean Things #3
The first one of these I made on my old account, so that's long gone... The second one I made with this account, but for some reason, that one's also long gone... So I apologize for any duplicates if any of you even remember, lawl. But I don't think there are. Well, there may be duplicates of albums, but definitely not of lyrics. Anyway, check out this great poetry. Let's talk about the statements they're making. Death, love, language, fate, etc. |

Waited Up 'til It Was Light
Your jealous friends have gotta get laid - The only thing that's stopping you is more of the same |

Violator
Vows are spoken to be broken - Feelings are intense, words are trivial - Pleasures remain, so does the pain - Words are meaningless and forgettable |
| 3 |  | The Doors
The Doors
We chased our pleasures here, dug our treasures there - But can you still recall the time we cried? - Break on through to the other side |
| 4 |  | Buck 65
Square
You'll find a girl with a low voice who holds the world in her bare hands - You'll fall in love, you'll have no choice, once you are given a fair chance - For the first time you will sleep well, take a deep breath, see the Sun shine - Hold on to her for dear life, then watch the whole world unwind - Ask her to show you some magic and I guarantee that she will say yes - Tell her you've seen forever and you'll be together not a day less |
| 5 |  | Arcade Fire
Funeral
And the power's out - in the heart of man - Take it from your heart, put it in your hand |

Bringing It All Back Home
While them that defend what they cannot see, with a killer's pride, security, it blows their minds most bitterly - For them that think death's honesty won't fall upon on them naturally, life sometimes must get lonely |
| 9 |  | Soul Coughing
Ruby Vroom
Gone savage for teenagers with automatic weapons and boundless love - Gone savage for teenagers who are aesthetically pleasing, in other words, "fly" - Los Angeles beckons the teenagers to come to her on buses - Los Angeles loves love - - It is 5 AM, and you are listening to Los Angeles |
| 10 |  | The Beach Boys
Pet Sounds
My folks, when I wrote them, told 'em what I was up to, said "that's not me" - I went through all kinds of changes, took a look at myself, and said "that's not me" |
| 11 |  | Paramore
Brand New Eyes
'Cause I'm just one of those ghosts - Travelin' endlessly - Don't need no roads - In fact, they follow me - And we just go in circles |

Shooting Rubberbands At The Stars
Philosophy is the talk on a cereal box - Religion is the smile on a dog |

Give Up
Last week I had the strangest dream, where everything was exactly how it seemed - Where there was never any mystery of who shot John F. Kennedy - It was just a man with something to prove, slightly bored and severely confused - He steadied his rifle with his target in the center - And became famous on that day in November |

I want to fuck my way to the garden - 'Cause everyone needs a mother, fucker! |

| 21 |  | Incubus
S.C.I.E.N.C.E.
Should I apologize if what I say burns your ears and stains your eyes? - Oh, did I crack your shell? When it falls away, you'll see we exist as well! |

If you think the world is a clutter of existence - falling through the air with minimal resistance - you could be right - how would I know? - colossal youth is showing the way to go |

Burn Your Fire For No Witness
If you've still got some light in you, then go before it's gone - Burn your fire for no witness, it's the only way it's done |

Fear of Music
I'm charged up, I'm kinda wooden - I'm barely moving, I study motion - I study myself, I fooled myself! - I'm charged up, it's pretty intense. - - I'm charged up, don't put me down - Don't feel like talking, don't mess around - I feel mean, I feel ok - I'm charged up, electricity |

Scorpion Circles
This blizzard in the middle of spring hits with swift unexpected force, showing neglect for projected course - Expect remorse from those not ready - caught heavy when Hurricane G drops steady - Never before measured the method that mirrors mine - effortlessly aggressive in essence, spirit and mind - clearin' that fine line, terminal velocity - inferno of animosity, man, there's no stoppin' me |
