Getting into it lately, still don't know much. Learning from our resident expert Jackington.

Haha, I wouldn't say I'm an expert, all I know about is ska punk. Admittedly, I never really dive into older ska bands (The Skatalites, The Specials etc.), unless I'm spending time with friends who play in ska bands.

Anyway, I've been listening to a lot of Bad Religion lately. I absolutely love Greg Graffin's song writing, so here's a couple of my favourite lyrics written by him, from the album The Empire Strikes First:

"Social Suicide"

Right now
Well it's finally time to face my fears
Gonna get the hell out of here
And create a fresher atmosphere
But the consequence is clear

There's a furnace set on high
And a yearning undefined
But it's time to turn the tide
It's social suicide

Like you
Perserverence is a useless tool
Just a patron on a ship of fools
Feigning interest in the cast and crew
Why you've broken every single rule

There's a furnace set on high
And a yearning undefined
But it's time to turn the tide
It's social suicide

Shadows entertain the unwashed masses
Scholars explain their numb reactions
I don't even know if I can ever find truth
but I'm sure it won't come from following you

There's a furnace set on high
And a yearning undefined
But it's time to turn the tide
It's social suicide


"Atheist Peace"

Maybe it’s too late for an intellectual debate,
but a residue of confusion remains.

Changing with the times,
and developmentally tortured minds
are the average citizen's sources of pain.

Tell me what we’re fighting for—
I don’t remember anymore,
only temporary reprieve

And the world might cease
if we fail to tame the beast
from the faith that you release
comes an atheist peace.

Atheist peace.

Political forces rent
bitter cold winds of discontent
and the modern age emerged triumphantly.
But now it seems we've stalled
And it’s time to de-evolve
and relive the dark chapters of history

Tell me what we’re fighting for—
No progress ever came from war,
only a false sense of increase

and the world won’t wait
for the truth upon a plate
but we’re ready now to feast on an atheist peace.

Atheist peace​
 
I love just about everything Sevendust, I love the tones in their music, granted, their recent albums aren't as bare-bones and raw as their self-entitled first album...but they still rock pretty damn hard.

The Past

Beneath the water
that's falling from my eyes
lays a soul I've left behind
the edge of sorrow was reached but now I'm fine
I've filled the hole I had inside

I'll pray it doesn't scream my name
so I lie to flame and let it breathe
the air that kills the shame

I'm up
I'm down
like a rollercoaster racing through my life
I've erased the past again

a risky morning
I feel like I'm alive
I can't believe I've made it through this time
the edge of sorrow I lived in for some time
(lived in for some time)
has left the hole I have inside

The burden is I try my hate
was the last thing I ever felt
or thought I could escape

I'm up
I'm down
like a rollercoaster racing through my life
I've erased the past again
x2

You let me in then broke me down
the difference is this time around
I will not let you see me try

I'm up
I'm down
like a rollercoaster racing through my life
I've erased the past again
x2

Erased the past again now
Erased the past again

Beneath the water
that has fallen from my eyes


Born to Die

Opened up my eyes
Release me

I can't believe
This is happening to me
Born to live but sworn to die
My body is warm, my fingers are cold
I think they buried me alive
I might have found, lost my soul
As the pages of my life unfold

Opened up my eyes
Release me

Did I walk a long way?
Today is finally owned me
Twist a blunt, it's time to fly
The cough is growing
Microdots are flowing
Oh my god, I'm ready to die

Born to die
(Born to die)
Born to die
Born to die
(Sing together)
Born to die

I can't believe
This is happening to me
Born to live but sworn to die
My body is warm, my fingers are cold
I think they buried me alive
I might have found, lost my soul
These are the pages of my life

Born to die
(Born to die)
Born to die
Born to die
(Sing together)
Born to die​

Oh man...you realise you just quoted two of my all-time favourite songs, on my all-time favourite album, from an all-time favourite band of mine?! Fantastic. Love Atheist Peace in particular, but the whole of Empire Strikes First is immense.

Here's my pick:

The Quickening

The quickening is an ephemeral thing
That only happens in the dark
Like catching lightning in a jar
And the pain that it brings
Is just the promise of spring
It’s madness on the way
Oh, what does it mean…

To come alive
To come alive
To come alive
(To come alive) To come alive
To come alive
To come alive

The entering is soulful conjecturing
Oh, lost and by the wind-grieved Ghost
Please come back to me again..
Because the way that she Breeds!
Is it the law that he reads!?
Confusing words and deeds..
So what does it mean…

To come alive
To come alive
To come alive
(To come alive) To come alive
To come alive
To come alive

To pierce the fame of the sacred and profane
For science, in service of the faith
But who will bear the mark of Cain?

To come alive
To come alive
To come alive
(To come alive) To come alive
To come alive
To come alive​
 
All the Bad Religion Love! My favorite one has to be skyscraper off of "Recipe For Hate".

Skyscraper

Come let us make bricks and burn them hard,
We'll build a city with a tower for the world
and climb so we can reach anything we may propose,
anything at all

Build me up, tear me down
like a skyscraper
Build me up, then tear down
These joining walls
So they can't climb at all

I know why you tore it down that day
You thought, that if you got caught we'd all go away,
Like a spoiled little baby who can't come out to play,
You had your revenge

Build me up, tear me down
like a skyscraper
Build me up, then tear down
these joining walls
So they can't climb at all

Well madness reigned and paradise drowned
When Babel's walls came crashing down
Now the echoes roar for a story writ
that was hardly understood
and never any good

Build me up, tear me down
like a skyscraper
Build me up, then tear down
these joining walls
So they can't climb at all

Build me up
Build me up

My runner up though is Parallel from "The Gray Race"

Parallel

sleeping on a time bomb, staring into space
there's an ocean of unpleasantries we are not prepared to face

sitting on the fence post to watch the storm roll in
and terrified of the damage it will bring when it begins
it will begin

splintered dreams of unity (our lives are parallel)
so far from reality (our lives are parallel)
independent trajectories (our lives are parallel)
separate terms of equality (our lives are parallel)

our lives are parallel

is there no redemption? no common good?
is there nothing we can do for ourselves? or only what we should?

comes the hard admission of what we don't provide
goes the insistence on the ways and means that so divide

they so divide

side by side suffering loneliness (our lives are parallel)
phony collective progress (our lives are parallel)
accepting that it's all such a mess (our lives are parallel)
gesturing without hope of redress (our lives are parallel)

our lives are parallel

forging little plays of deception and pain
as we watch our foundation crumble away
staggering like birds against a hurricane
and trying all the while to stay out of each other's way

broken dreams of unity (our lives are parallel)
independant trajectories (our lives are parallel)
screaming out for understanding (our lives are parallel)
turning inward and suffering (our lives are parallel)

"The Empire Strikes First" is a great album from beginning to end as well. My favorite off of there has to be To Another Abyss.

John Prine - "I Wish You All the Best"

I wish you love And happiness
I guess I wish you All the best
I wish you don't Do like I do
And ever fall in love with Someone like you
Cause if you fell Just like I did
You'd probably walk around the block like a little kid
But kids don't know They can only guess
How hard it is To wish you happiness

I guess that love Is like a Christmas card
You decorate a tree You throw it in the yard
It decays and dies And the snowmen melt
Well I once knew love I knew how love felt
Yeah I knew love Love knew me
And when I walked Love walked with me
And I got no hate And I got no pride
Well I got so much love That I cannot hide
Yeah I got so much love That I cannot hide

Say you drive a Chevy Say you drive a Ford
You say you drive around the town till you just get bored
Then you change your mind For something else to do
And your heart gets bored with your mind and it changes you
Well it's a doggone shame And it's an awful mess
I wish you love I wish you happiness
I wish you love I wish you happiness
I guess I wish you All the best
 
In my opinion, Conor Oberst is a lyrical genius, I get really drawn into every bit of music he's written. I've been listening to an old side project of his from the early 2000's called Desaparecidos, the sound is very punk rock/post-hardcore, unlike his other projects which generally vary from folk to indie rock. Here's a song, from the band's only album, which really stood out to me:



Desaparecidos - The Happiest Place on Earth




I want to pledge allegiance to the country where I live
I don't want to be ashamed to be American
But opportunity, no, it don't exist
It's the opiate of the populace
We need some harder **** now
The truth is getting around
And each public school is a halfway house
Where the huddled masses somber up and up
Enough?
There's not enough to fatten the cows and feed all of us
It's just a rationing of luck
What can't be bought gets raffled off
Oh God, good God
Shed greed on thee
Your shining sea turned a dirty green from the industry
Off the shores of New Jersey
I got a letter from the army, so I think that I'll enlist
I'm not brave or proud of nothing I just want to kill something
Too bad that nowadays you just point and click
Swing low satellite, hot white chariot!
In the computer's blue glare, the bombs burst in the air
There was a city once - now nothing is there
Our freedom comes at their expense
It makes sense, doesn't it?
Dollars and cents
They're stretching barbed wire across the picket fence
That is surrounding your housing development
Just in case you lack the confidence
Oh God, my God, give strength to thee
These amber waves, purple majesty
Are nothing but backdrops for Disney
Well, look up close
It is superimposed on a blank blue screen
It is fantasy, ****ing magical
The dream floats like a chemical through each snapped synapse
Our television past that is beautiful no more, no more​

One of my favorite lyrics are

Have Heart - The Same Son
Great and intense lyrics. Another great Band gone 👎



When I look in the mirror I see:
A boy not a man
the son of a father I refuse to understand
the "brother" of a brother like a wound I neglect
the coward of a sister with the world I forget
the prodigal son, but I am yet to return
from a siege where I take refuge but I want to watch burn
your lover, your companion, your champion, your friend
forever by your side but not in the end

The fortunate son who dwells in the city,
with the poorest of the poor, still, I ask for your pity

and while there's a man who sleeps on the ice-cold streets
his godsend not in me, but in his cardboard: his sheets

yet

I still see the same son.​


and of course from my all time favorite song: Marduk - Beast of Prey



War

Sounds of violence breaks the silence
Ripping the stillness apart
Sounds of thunder n force from the world under
The essence and joy of my heart

The messengers who chime death's bell
The panzers have come to blow god into hell

Die

Like Lillith's sons - the demonic ones
Storming through dust clouds to kill
All they seek - to kill the weak
The extent of bloodshed to the thrill

The black roaring panzers who bring pain and death
And through their barrels you will feel hells breath

Eyeballs rolling, bodies twisting, mouths are screaming as they burn
Shells exploding, steel is crushing, dooms bell tolling, death you yearn

All I want, All I need
Is to see my enemies bleed <--- Effin best line ever!

Guns of annihilation, hell's celebration
Execution of god can begin
Set the world on fire so Christ can expire
This time the devil will win

Smell the scent of fear and pain
As we roll through the pile of ash
Antichrist is here to reign as we blow god's throne
With a crash

All I want, all I need
Is to kill the ones light saved

I spit in the face of god with my gun
Ablazing the ghost and run over his son​
 
I'm the Scatman! "DeeDaDeeDaRa Boh DeeDaDeeDaRa Boh!"
 
Cool thread....

I looked at the previous pages and was a bit surprised no one has mentioned The Doors (I was flicking through pretty quick so I may have missed it)...

But anyway..

(Can't remember the title, but the line is):

''I found an island in your arms'''
The Doors

One of my most favourite tracks and one of the best dance songs, period, and possibly one of the most original sounding tunes I''ve ever heard has the very apt lyric:

''why does it always sound the same with no meaning''
Banco de Gaia - Tongue in cheek

In homage to my recent violation of the AUP and subsequent first warning (:(). I couldn't resist:

''I'm expressing with my full capability, now I'm living in a correctional facility''
NWA - Express Yourself..

I did, and got a warning....boo...
 
I have two, reason, I don't know if you're allowed to put up your own lyrics on here, and the other because if I'm not, then that's the one I mean to put up. :sly:

We attack
The souls of another land
We defend
The rest of our broken sands

^That's mine :)

Blood is falling like the rain
Its crimson cloak unveils again
The sound of guns can't hide their shame
And so we die in Paschendale

^Paschendale: Iron Maiden
 

"Put You On Game"- Lupe Fiasco in "THE COOL "

[The Game: Laughing, smoking]

Lemme put you on game [gunshot]
Lemme put you on game

Don't you know that I run this place,
And I've begun this race,
Must I rerun this pace?
I'm the reason its become this way
And their love for it is the reason I have become this praised
(lemme put you on game)
They love my darkness,
I make them heartless,
And in return, the have become my martyrs,
I've been in the poem of many a poet,
And I reside in the art of many a artist
(lemme put you on game)
Some of your smartest have tried to artictulate
My whole part in this
But they're fruitless in their harvestin'
The drow grows from my footsteps
I'm the one that they follow,
I am the one that they march with
(lemme put you on game)
Through the back alleys
And the black markets,
The Oval Offices,
Crackhouses and apartments
Through the mazes of the queens,
The pages of the sages
And the Chambers of The Kings
(lemme put you on game)
Through the veins-es of the fiends,
A paper chaser's pager,
Yo, I'm famous on the scene
One of the oldest, most ancient-est of things
Seak every single language on the planet, y'all mean?
(lemme put you on game)
I am the American dream,
The rape of Africa
The undying machine,
The overpriced medicine,
The murderous regime,
The tough guy's front,
And the one behind the scenes
(lemme put you on game)
I am the blood of this city,
It's gas, water, and electricity,
I'm it's gym, and it's math, and it's history,
The gunshots in the class
And you can't pass if you're missin, G.
I taught them better than that
I taught them aim for the head
And hope they never come back
I'm glad your daddy's gone, baby,
Hope he never comes back,
I hope he's with your mother,
With my hustlers high in my trap
(lemme put you on game)
I hope you die in his trash,
I can't help it all I hear when you're crying is laughs
I'm sure somebody find you tied up in this bag,
Behind the hospital little baby,
Crack addicts had
(lemme put you on game)
Then maybe you can grow up to be a stripper,
A welfare-receiving prostitute
And gold digger,
You can watch on TV,
How they should properly depict you,
The rivers should flow with liqour,
Quench your thirst on my elixers,
(lemme put you on game)
I am the safe haven for the rebel runaway and the resistor
Ihe trusted misleader,
The number one defender,
And from a throne of their bones I rule,
These fools are my fuel
So I make them Cool
(lemme put you on game)
Baptize them in the water out of Scarface pool,
And feed 'em from the table that held Corleone's food,
If you die, tell them that you played my game
I hope your bullet holes become mouths that say my name,
'Cause I'm the... [gunshot]

Awesome beat too.
 
Five Finger Death Punch..."I'll slap you so @#$%^ hard, it'll feel like you kissed a freight train!"
 
The Young Wanderer Part II
Millenium
(Yeah, I know, it's a whole song, but that's what everyone else is doing, so I guess it's okay)

Where am I
Sold my life
Wandering
Across the land

Souls divide
On this land
Might survive
Cannot find them

Cannot find my way
Where are they
Walking through the day
The cloud that grows grey

Floating Lights
Lie before me
I walk to it
A town burns bright

I walk to the town
People stare
At me
Minds glowing bare
I don&#8217;t know where
I am

Cannot find my way
Where are they
Walking through the day
The cloud that grows grey

Cannot find my way
Where are they
Walking through the day
The cloud that grows grey

Nothing I can say
Taken away
The price I have to pay
Wandering all my days

I am in the wrong place
I wish to go home
I don&#8217;t know where I&#8217;ll go
I&#8217;ll follow the windy road
Someday will I find them?
Do I still know their faces?
When I finally find them
Surely I will face them
Help me God to find my way
I just want to see them
Abandoned to a desert
I could not follow then
But now if I see them
I will be able to chase them
I hope that it happens soon
I&#8217;m dying inside

Goodbye
I&#8217;m dying
Please help
I&#8217;m starving
My task
Is to difficult
My life
Is riddled
With shame

This song has a good chorus, and a really catchy riff

One of my favourite lines in a song is:

"You said I was cheap, I was sale of the century"
 
Amazing song from Avenged Sevenfold, MIA, singing about how there friend in Iraq was.



Staring at the carnage, praying that the sun will never rise.
Living another day in disguise.
These feelings can't be right, lend me your courage to stand up and fight, ohh tonight.

Ooooo...
Stand up and fight.

The fighting rages on and on, to challenge me you must be strong.
I walk your land but don't belong, two million soldiers can't be wrong.

It's no fun, but I've been here before.
I'm far from home and I'm fighting your war.
(Not the way I pictured this, I wanted better things)
Some are scared others killing for fun, I shot a mother right in front of her son.
(Take this from my conscienceness and please erase my dreams)

Fight for honor, fight for your life.
Pray to god that our side is right.
And though we won I still may lose, until I make it home to you.
I see our mothers filled with tears, grew up so fast where did those years go?
Memories won't let you cry, unless I don't return tonight.

So many soldiers on the other side, I take their life so they can't take mine.
(Scared to make it out alive now murders all I know.)
Nobody tells me all the reasons were here, I have my weapon so there's nothing to fear.
(Another day another life but nothing real to show for.)

Fight for honor, fight for your life.
Pray to god that our side is right.
And though we won I still may lose, until I make it home to you.
I see our mothers filled with tears, grew up so fast where did those years go?
Memories won't let you cry, unless I don't return tonight.

Staring at the carnage, praying that the sun will never rise.
Living another day in disguise.
These feelings can't be right, lend me your courage to stand up and fight.

Watching the death toll rise wondering how I'm alive.
Strangers blood on my hands, shot all I can.
There were no silent nights watching your brothers all die
To destroy all their plans with no thought of me. (No thought of me)
No thought of me.

(Guitar solo 1)

(Interlude)

(Guitar solo 2)

Whoaaaa...
We walk the city lonely, memories that haunt are passing by,
A murderer walks your streets tonight.
Forgive me for my crimes.
Don't forget that I was so young, fought so scared.
In the name of God and Country.

Avenged are pretty awesome guys

Also most led zeppelin lyrics are great- bay-bay-bay-bay-baby I don't wanna leave you
 
Guns N' Roses - Breakdown

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 'em


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


Breakdown
Let me hear it now
Breakdown
let me hear it now
Yeah
Breakdown
Let me hear it now
Breakdown
let me hear it now
Get down with yo' bad self
Alright


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
Fun how ev'rything was roses
When we held on to the guns
Just because you're winnin'
Don't mean you're the lucky ones


Breakdown
Let me hear it now
Breakdown
Yeah
Breakdown
Breakdown
Let me hear it now


"There goes the challenger being chased
By the blue blue meanies on wheels
The vicious traffic squad cars are after
our lone driver
The last American hero
The-the electric sintar
The demi-god,
The super driver of the golden west!
Two nasty Nazi cars are close behind
The beautiful lone driver
The police cars are getting closer-closer...
Closer to our soul hero in his soul mobile
Yeah baby!
They about to strike, They gonna get him,
Smash! Rape!
The last beautiful free soul on this planet


But...it is written if the Evil Spirit arms the Tiger with claws
Brahman provided wings for the Dove
Thus spake the Super Guru" *
"Did you hear that"
 
Basta de engaños (enough with deceptions)
De pensar y actuar (think and act)
Como quieren los demás (as the others want)
Demencia sin causas (demency without causes)
¿quién las frenará? (who will stop it?)
¿quién se arriesgará a negar? (who will risk to deny?)

Que estalla la tierra (that the Earth explodes)
Y que en llamas está (and is in flames)
Se escapa el tiempo (the time escapes)
Y no existe paz (and there is no peace)
No existe paz, no existe paz. (there is no peace, there is no peace)


V8 - Tiempos Metálicos



Miseria, hambre y pudrición, (Misery, hunger and decay)
conviven en este mundo. (live in this world)
Pobres que claman, por un mendrugo (poor people who implore for a loaf of bread)
Ricos que se convierten en sus verdugos (riches turn into their executioners)

V8 - La Mano Maldita

Muere el cobarde bañado en su sangre
y el valiente con la sangre enemiga.
Todos creen en Dios, ante el miedo incontrolable.
El ardiente metal, penetrandoles la carne.

(The coward dies stained in its own blood
And the brave with the enemy blood
Everyone believes in God, facing the uncontrollable fear
The burning metal piercing its flesh)

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


Breakdown
Let me hear it now
Breakdown
let me hear it now
Yeah
Breakdown
Let me hear it now
Breakdown
let me hear it now
Get down with yo' bad self
Alright


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
Fun how ev'rything was roses
When we held on to the guns
Just because you're winnin'
Don't mean you're the lucky ones


Breakdown
Let me hear it now
Breakdown
Yeah
Breakdown
Breakdown
Let me hear it now


"There goes the challenger being chased
By the blue blue meanies on wheels
The vicious traffic squad cars are after
our lone driver
The last American hero
The-the electric sintar
The demi-god,
The super driver of the golden west!
Two nasty Nazi cars are close behind
The beautiful lone driver
The police cars are getting closer-closer...
Closer to our soul hero in his soul mobile
Yeah baby!
They about to strike, They gonna get him,
Smash! Rape!
The last beautiful free soul on this planet


But...it is written if the Evil Spirit arms the Tiger with claws
Brahman provided wings for the Dove
Thus spake the Super Guru" *

Death From Above 1979- Romantic Rights

Your romantic rights are all that you got
Push them down son it's more than just lip
C'mon girls I know you know what you want
C'mon, C'mon now and give them all shhhhh
You're beating walls now you just won't quit
You play with shapes but they just won't fit
I know you love me you don't know what you like
You're watching TV I stay up all night
 
2pac - Toss It Up. Do you want me what's your phone number, I get around
Cali Love to my true Thugs, picture me now
Still down for that Death Row sound, searchin for paydays
No longer Dre Day, arrivederci
Blown and forgotten, rotten for plottin Child's Play
Check your sexuality, as fruity as this Alize
Quick to jump ship, punk trick, what a dumb move
Cross Death Row, now who you gon' run to?
Lookin for suckers cause you similar
Pretendin to be hard, oh my God, check your temperature
Screamin Compton, but you can't return, you ain't heard
Brothers pissed cause you switched and escaped to the burbs

Alex Turner from Arctic Monkeys has penned some brilliant lines:

'Well ah now mardy bum,
I've seen your frown
and it's like looking down
a barrel of a gun
and it goes off.'

'Well It's ever so funny
Coz I don't think you're special I don't think you're cool
you're just probably alright
But under these lights you look beautiful
And I'm struggling
I can't see through your fake tan
Oh ya know it for a fact
That everybody's eating outta your hands'
