[music] Post A Verse/Rhyme/Portion of your favorite song

another...

i see more in these lyrics than i think the writers intended:

Look at the stars,
Look how they shine for you,
And everything you do,
Yeah they were all yellow,

I came along
I wrote a song for you
And all the things you do
And it was called yellow

So then I took my turn
Oh all the things I've done
And it was all yellow

Your skin
Oh yeah your skin and bones
Turn into something beautiful
D'you know you know I love you so
You know I love you so

I swam across
I jumped across for you
Oh all the things you do
Cause you were all yellow

I drew a line
I drew a line for you
Oh what a thing to do
And it was all yellow

Your skin
Oh yeah your skin and bones
Turn into something beautiful
D'you know for you i bleed myself dry
For you i bleed myself dry

Its true look how they shine for you
look how they shine for you
look how they shine for you
look how they shine for you
look how they shine for you
look how they shine
look at the stars look how they shine for you

 

Indians scattered on dawn's highway bleeding
Ghosts crowd the young child's fragile eggshell mind

Blood in the streets in the town of New Haven
Blood stains the roofs and the palm trees of Venice
Blood in my love in the terrible summer
Bloody red sun of Phantastic L.A.

 

Well, some songs you just can't pick one verse out and still have it remain as meaningful.

I refrained before from posting this one by Joni Mitchell for that reason, but in rebellion and more obviously to make a point, here ya go.

 

And I was like:
Baby, baby, baby, ooooh like
Baby, baby, baby, noooo like
Baby, baby, baby, ooooh

Thought you'd always be mine, mine.

*tear* so meaningful

 

This one has always had a special meaning for me:

 

Have you come here for forgiveness?
Have you come to raise the dead?
Have you come here to play Jesus...
To the lepers in your head?

 

I run good but I'm hard to start
And the brakes are bad so I'm hard to stop
I found a woman who's soft but she's also hard
While I slept she nailed down my heart

 

yes! well done! that whole song is amazing.

 

Today is gonna be the day
That they're gonna throw it back to you
By now you should've somehow
Realized what you gotta do
I don't believe that anybody
Feels the way I do about you now

 

pretty much any lyric from Bun B or PimpC

 

And don't try to change her, just leave it, leave it
You're not the only one, ooh seeing is believing
It's the only way
You'll ever know, oh

 

A heart that's full up like a landfill,
a job that slowly kills you,
bruises that won't heal.
You look so tired-unhappy,
bring down the government,
they don't, they don't speak for us.
I'll take a quiet life,
a handshake of carbon monoxide,

with no alarms and no surprises,
no alarms and no surprises,
no alarms and no surprises,
Silence, silence.

 

It's no secret that a conscience can sometimes be a pest
It's no secret ambition bites the nails of success
Every artist is a cannibal, every poet is a thief
All kill their inspiration and sing about their grief

 

No time left now for shame
Horizon behind me, no more pain
Windswept stars blink and smile
Another song, another mile

You read the line every time
Ask me about crime in my mind
Ask me why another road song
Funny but I bet you never left home

On a good day, it's not every day
We can part the sea
And on a bad day, it's not every day
Glory beyond our reach

Seconds until sunrise
Tired but wiser for the time
Lightning 30 miles away
Three thousand more in two days

 

Inflammation of the foreskin reminds me of your smile,
I've had ballanital chancroids for quite a little while...

 

you must spread rep around before rashmon again

With one light on in one room
I know you're up when I get home
With one small step upon the stair
I know your look when I get there

-------------------------------

The unread book and painful look
the tv's on, the sound is down
One long pause
then you begin
oh look what the cat's brought in

 

Shake off the rain and dry off, and come inside tonight
you don't have to be alone, you don't have to be alone
you've got the prettiest face that I ever did see
with eyes so dad like songs I swear I've known

and I hope to god that you're not pretending
cause if you are I swear I don't know what I'm gonna do
but I promise you that I'll be good to you
if you promise that you'll try to love me to somehow

I'd still a hundred kisses before you said goodbye
and make a hundred wishes in the name if you and I
cause what we have are secrets, so don't let no one know
the past can't come between us if we both just let it go
today's a perfect day today's the day I tell you oh
if you ever walk away, then I would die right there for you

give me your every breath and promise me your world
I don't ask for much at all, all I want is all you got
could you be that girl are you thinking of me
or have I projected all my hopes on you
and I know there'll be nights filled with tears
I know that there'll be fights and fears
but that's a part of it too
so do you think I'll hav. The slightest chance to be
everything to you, cause you mean everything to me.


Ok, I listen to a very wide range of music. I could have picked a couple lines out of many many songs. But this damn song brought me to tears several times after a bad breakup. If you haven't heard it and are going through some tough relationship stuff, give it a listen. It might just help and hurt at the same time.

She Wants Revenge-a Hundred Kisses

 

They say the blacker the berry
The sweeter the juice,
I say the darker the flesh
then the deeper the roots
I give a holla to my sisters on welfare
2pac cares, even if nobody else cares

- 2pac Keep your Head Up.

...U gotta find a way to survive
because they win when your soul dies
Baby please don't cry
You gotta keep your head up
Even when the road gets hard never give up !

-2pac Baby Don't Cry (Keep your head up pt. II)

Going through hard times ghetto child of mine
I wonder if you'll have 2 suffer for your father's crimes
2 be honest its a hard road,
Keep your faith in God,
knowing you'll get scarred though
Look at him walking and talking
a lil child with my eyes and mouth
Father help me watch over my lil seeds
help me guide them out
Had to change my whole lifestyle, married my babymama
made her my wife now....
I'm trying hard y'all...
Maybe in time I'll be a better man
watchin the older couples handle it like veterans...

-2pac Happy Home

They ask us why we mutilate each other like we do
Why we hold such little worth on human life
Well...to ask us why we went from bad to worse
is to ignore from which we came
See...you wouldn't ask why the rose that grew
from the concrete had damaged petals
On, the contrary we would all love its tenacity and admire its will
to reach the sun.....
Well.... WE are the Roses
THIS is the concrete
And these are MY damaged petals
Don't ask my why n***a
Thank God!! Ask me HOW!!!

-2pac Mama's just a lil girl (words at the end)
