EDIT: It may be a good idea to decrease your font size in order to conserve space.

Pretty self explanatory. This little bit from 'The Pot' by Tool is one of my favorites without a doubt, I'll post more later.

Who are you to wave your finger?
Ya' must have been out your head.
Eye hole deep in muddy waters.
You practically raised the dead.

Rob the grave, to snow the cradle.
Then burn the evidence down.
Soapbox, house of cards, and glass,
So don't go tossin' your stones around.

You must have been high.
You must have been high.
You must have been.

Foot in mouth, and head up [censored].
Whatcha talkin' 'bout?
Difficult to dance 'round this one
'til you pull it out, boy!

You must have been, so high.
You must have been, so high.

Another from 'Little Cream Soda' by The White Stripes.

Now my mind is filled with rubber tires and forest fires
And whether I'm a liar
And lots of other situations
Where I don't know what to do
At which time God screams to me
There's nothing left for me to tell you
Nothing left for me to tell you
Nothing left
Oh well, oh well, oh well, oh well
Oh well, oh well, oh well, oh well

That looks more like the lyrics to the entire song and not just a quote from it.

Anyway, one part that always gets me when I'm working out is in the album Damaged by Black Flag on the song Rise Above is

We are born with a chance
Rise above
We're gonna rise above
I am gonna have my chance
Rise above
We're gonna rise above

That's just the opening lyrics, actually. :hubbahubba:

Heh, well I guess I'm just used to songs not really being more than 1 min 30 seconds long now.

I immediately thought of a line from 2:45AM by Elliott Smith that I've always liked...

It's two forty five in the morning,
and I'm putting myself on warning,
for waking up in an unknown place,
with a recollection you've half erased

I also like this bit from Love, Ire and Song by Frank Turner, it's really uplifting:

So come on old friends to the streets, let's be 1905 but not 1917,
Let's be heroes, let's be martyrs, let's be radical thinkers,
Who never have to test drive the least of their dreams,
Let's divide up the world into the damned and saved,
And then ride to the valleys like the old life brigade,
And straighten our backs and we won't be afraid,
And they'll celebrate our deaths with a national parade,

So come on let's be young, let's be crass enough to care,
Let's refuse to live and learn, let's make all our mistakes again, yes
And then darling, just for one day, we can fight and we can win,
And if only for a little while, we could insist on the impossible...

Anyway, one part that always gets me when I'm working out is in the album Damaged by Black Flag on the song Rise Above is

I really like the chorus to TV Party

We got nothing better to do!
Than watch TV and have a couple of brews!

And on the subject of old hardcoe, Busted by D.R.I. always makes me laugh:

Police drive by, I hold my breath,
I've got ten warrants for my arrest,
They stop at the light and whip it around,
Ten minutes later I'm headed down town....
...FREE RIDE!

Johnny Cash's cover of dirt. Lyrically, there is only one difference, where Johnny says 'I wear this crown of thorns' rather than 'I wear this crown of [censored]', regardless, Cash's version moves me much more than NIN's.

I hurt myself today
to see if I still feel
I focus on the pain
the only thing that's real
the needle tears a hole
the old familiar sting
try to kill it all away
but I remember everything
what have I become?
my sweetest friend
everyone I know
goes away in the end
and you could have it all
my empire of dirt

I will let you down
I will make you hurt

I wear this crown of thorns
upon my liar's chair
full of broken thoughts
I cannot repair
beneath the stains of time
the feelings disappear
you are someone else
I am still right here

Sam Beam's acoustic version of his http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bywv_yjSgHc is such a gorgeous song, and its lyrics are incredible.

"...
And please, remember me seldomly
In the car behind the carnival
My hand between your knees, you turned from me
And said, "The traqeze act was wonderful
But never meant to last", the clown that passed
Saw me just come up with anger
When it filled with circus dogs, the parking lot
Had an element of danger

So please, remember me finally
And all my uphill clawing
My dear, but if I make the pearly gates
I'll do my best to make a drawing
Of God and Lucifer, a boy and girl
An angel kissing on a sinner
A monkey and a man, a marching band
All around a frightened traqeze swinger"

But what if you are wrong

But the way it is

I normally just lurk on these forums, but I love music so I figured I'd contribute.

My folks back home are crying 'cause they're already missing me,

I pray by the grace of God that there's somebody listening,

Give me a chance to be the person I want to be,

Oh Lord, I'll try so hard, but you gotta let go of me,

- Afterlife, Avenged Sevenfold

Fate fell short this time, your smile fades in the summer,

Place your hand in mine, I'll leave when I wanna,

-Feelin' This, Blink 182

Don't worry about a thing, 'cause every little thing is gonna be alright,

-Three Little Birds, Bob Marley

I've been puppet, pauper, a pirate, a poet, a pawn and a king,

I've been and up and down and over and out, and I know one thing,

Each time I find myself flat on my face,

I pick myself up and get back in the race,

That's life,

-That's Life, Frank Sinatra

God, show me the way because the devil is trying to break me down,

The only thing that I pray is that my feet don't fail me now,

And I don't think there's nothing I can do now to right my wrongs,

I wanna talk to God, but I'm afraid because we haven't spoken in so long,

-Jesus Walks, Kanye West

I don't what's worth fighting for, or why I have to scream,

I don't know why I instigate, say what I don't mean,

I don't know how I got this way, I know it's not alright,

So I'm breaking the habit, I'm breaking the habit tonight,

-Breaking the Habit, Linkin Park

Everyday I'm shufflin'

-Party Rock Anthem, LMFAO

I'm not o-[censored]in'-kay,

-I'm Not Okay, My Chemical Romance

Spoiler

Do you remember standing on a broken field
White crippled wings beating the sky
The harbingers of war with their nature revealed
And our chances flowing by

If I can let the memory heal
I will remember you with me on that field

When I thought that I fought this war alone
You were there by my side on the frontline
When I thought that I fought without a cause
You gave me a reason to try

Turn the page I need to see something new
For now my innocence is torn
We cannot linger on this stunted view
Like rabid dogs of war

I will let the memory heal
I will remember you with me on that field

When I thought that I fought this war alone
You were there by my side on the frontline
And we fought to believe the impossible

When I thought that I fought this war alone
We were one with our destinies entwined
When I thought that I fought without a cause
You gave me the reason why

With no-one wearing their real face
It's a whiteout of emotion
And I've only got my brittle bones to break the fall

When the love in letters fade
It's like moving in slow motion
And we're already too late if we arrive at all

And then we're caught up in the arms race
An involuntary addiction
And we're shedding every value our mothers taught

So will you please show me your real face
Draw the line in the horizon
Cos I only need your name to call the reasons why I fought

When I thought that I fought this war alone...

-War, Poets of the Fall

Spoiler

When I see your smile
Tears run down my face
I can't replace
And now that I'm strong
I have figured out
How this world turns cold
and it breaks through my soul
And I know I'll find
deep inside me
I can be the one

I will never let you fall(let you fall)
I'll stand up with you forever
I'll be there for you through it all(though it all)
Even if saving you sends me to heaven

It's okay. It's okay. It's okay.
Seasons are changing
And waves are crashing
And stars are falling all for us
Days grow longer and nights grow shorter
I can show you I'll be the one

I will never let you fall (let you fall)
I'll stand up with you forever
I'll be there for you through it all (through it all)
Even if saving you sends me to heaven

Cuz you're my, you're my, my, my true love, my whole heart
Please don't throw that away
Cuz I'm here for you
Please don't walk away and
Please tell me you'll stay, stay

Use me as you will
Pull my strings just for a thrill
And I know I'll be okay
Though my skies are turning gray

I will never let you fall
I'll stand up with you forever
I'll be there for you through it all
Even if saving you sends me to heaven

-Your Guardian Angel, Red Jumpsuit Apparatus

Hey girl, you know, you drive me crazy,

One look puts the rhythm in my hand,

Still I'll never understand why you hang around,

I see what's goin' down,

Cover up with make up in the mirror,

Tell yourself it's never gonna happen again,

You cry alone and then he swears he loves you,

Do you feel like a man, when you push her around?,

Do you feel better now as she falls to the ground?,

Well, I'll tell you my friend, one day this world's going to end,

As your lies crumble down, a new life she has found,

A pebble in the water makes a ripple effect,

Every action in this world will bear a consequence,

If you wade around forever you will surely drown,

I see what's going down,

I see the way you go and say you're right again,

Say you're right again, heed my lecture,

...

Face down in the dirt, she said this doesn't hurt,

she said, "I've finally had enough"

-Face Down, Red Jumpsuit Apparatus

I'm counting the seconds until you break the silence,

So please, just break the silence,

-A Twist In My Story, Secondhand Serenade

Oh, how I adore you,

Oh, how I thirst for you,

Oh, how I need you,

-Comatose, Skillet

YES! OH MY GOSH!

...

Look at this, I'm a coward too,

You don't need to hide my friend, for I am just like you,

-Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites, Skrillex

[spoiler] Yeah, he's a looker, but I really think it's guts that matter most,

I displayed them for you, strewn out about from coast to coast,

...

Try, give it your best shot and try,

All I'm asking for is love,

But you never seem to have enough,

...

This life is way too short to get caught up and all mixed up when I just want you to love me back,

Why can't you just love me back?

-All Over You, The Spill Canvas

So tonight I'll sit and pick apart your pictures,

And over anolyze your words,

...

I can honestly say,

that I've never ever ever felt this way,

Your lips, your eyelashes, your skin,

these are the parts of your body that caused my comatose to begin,

...

So don't go worrying about me,

It's not like I think about you constantly,

So, maybe I do,

But that shouldn't effect your life anymore,

I knew it the moment you walked in through the door,

-All Hail The Heartbreakers, The Spill Canvas

Every song by Rise Against and The Used.

All excerpts from songs by Ulcerate, in order of album: Of Fracture and Failure, Everything Is Fire, The Destroyers of All.

Let our blood mix with the soil
The earth soaked in us all
Our sorrow and our pardons
Now, my good friend, we are even

This is our end
Forget

From the song "Defaeco."

This burning inside cannot be defined
Our empty convictions erode in time

Stand on the edge of abandon
And stare into the searing sun
Forfeit now
For nothing we know

Everything is fire

From the song "Everything is Fire."

My favorite piece:

Truth has no name here
Anonymous in clouded vision
Our disgrace, far from reach
Left unknown

From the song "Omens."

I will update this post later.

I immediately thought of a line from 2:45AM by Elliott Smith that I've always liked...

I always liked the beginning of Between the Bars

"drink up, baby, stay up all night
the things you could do, you won't but you might
the potential you'll be, that you'll never see
the promises you'll only make"

Also pretty much all of Unconditional Armistice by Death In June

"Can I trust a human?
Can I trust his soul?
Like pigs they link together
Like pigs in a sausage roll"

"Love and worship and power and success
And love is prevented and destroyed and possessed
Love and worship and power and success
And love is perverted and destroyed and possessed"

You know there ain't no rest for the wicked
Money don't grow on trees
We got bills to pay
We got mouths to feed
Ain't nothing in this world for free
No we can't slow down
We can't hold back
Though you know we wish we could
No there ain't no rest for the wicked
Until we close our eyes for good

He's got the power - he's like a god
But he's the devil of flesh and blood
A '45 is his religion - code of silence his belief
It's the kiss of death
A '45 is his religion - code of silence his belief

Sick, Dirty and Mean by Accept

So live your life, you've only one
Your thoughts and deeds can't be undone
Set free your fear, it's a perfect day
The sun has come to wash your pain away

Also a great song, but I often play 2:45 so that's what came to mind. Pictures of Me always used to be my favourite though...

I'm sticking with you
'Cos I'm made out of glue
Anything that you might do
I'm gonna do too
- The Velvet Underground - I'm Sticking With You

Moon River, wider than a mile,
I'm crossing you in style some day.
Oh, dream maker, you heart breaker,
Wherever you're going I'm going your way.
Two drifters off to see the world.
There's such a lot of world to see.
We're after the same rainbow's end--
Waiting 'round the bend,
My huckleberry friend,
Moon River and me.
- Moon River

And I know the moment's near
and there's nothing you can do
Look through a faithless eye
Are you afraid to die?
- Muse - Thoughts of a Dying Atheist

Wouldn't it be nice if we could wake up
In the morning when the day is new
And after having spent the day together
Hold each other close the whole night through

Happy times together we've been spending
I wish that every kiss was neverending
Wouldn't it be nice
- The Beach Boys - Wouldn't It Be Nice

Since the OP mentions Tool, and since they probably have most of my favorite quotes in music...

You claimed all this time that you would die for me
Why then are you so surprised when you hear your own eulogy?

And in my darkest moment, fetal and weeping
The moon tells me a secret, in confidence
"As full and bright as I am,
this light is not my own.
A million light reflections
pass over me."

Some say the end is near
Some say we'll see armageddon soon
I certainly hope we will

My sig is my favorite song quote. Its from the song Disparity by Design by Rise Against.

» Mon Sep 19, 2011 4:04 am

Just 1 song with lyrics I love, there are a hundred more but these will do for now

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1kBbnozv-Lg

We all come in from the cold
We come down from the wire
An everybody warms themselves
to a different fire
When sometimes we get burned
You'd think sometime we'd learn
The one you love is the one
That should take you higher
You ain't got no one
You better go back out and find um

Just like children hidin' in a closet
Can't tell what's goin' on outside
Sometimes we're so far off the beaten track
We'll get taken for a ride
By a parlor trick or some words of wit
A hidden hand up a sleeve
To think the one you love
could hurt you now
Is a little hard to believe
But everybody darlin' sometimes
Bites the hand that feeds

When I look around
Everybody always brings me down
Well is it them or me
Well I just can't see
But there ain't no peace to found
But if someone really cared
Well they'd take the time to spare
A moment to try and understand
Another one's despair
Remember in this game we call life
That no one said it's fair

I've come to know the cold
I think of it as home
When there ain't enough of me to go around
I'd rather be left alone
But if I call you out of habit I'm out of love and
I gotta have it
Would you give it to me if I fit you needs
Like when we both knew we had it
But now the damage's done
And we're back out on the run
Funny how everything was roses
When we held on to the guns (This line is in my sig)
Just because you're winnin'
Don't mean you're the lucky ones
