Currently: "If you'd been a dog, they would have drown you at birth" - Radiohead - Knives out

[wither-I]

"yeah if you'd like that we can ride on a black-horse, a great new wave Hesperian death-horse" -chongo

"from such a height you missed the creatures too small for sight carry on covert conversation and the misguided insects crowned me their grasshopper king with a dance of celebration! after years with a crown on my head I've grown overfed, unconcerned, and comfortably numb kept busy indulging in pleasures of the wealthy (someone make me afraid of what I've become!) At the first sign of possible trouble I turned my heels and ran (Oh, I'll never learn) my life is a cup of sugar I borrowed before time began and forgot to return, it was a matter of time - I always said I could see now I'm going blind, it was a matter of miserable time -- but I heard somewhere there was a cure for useless eyes?" aaron weiss (mewithoutyou)

"I said "water" expecting the Word would satisfy my thirst,
Talking all about the second and third
When I haven't understood the first." -aaron weiss (mewithoutyou)

"She eyes me like a Pisces when I am weak
I've been locked inside your Heart-Shaped box for weeks
I've been drawn into your magnet tar pit trap
I wish I could eat your cancer when you turn black"

"Meat-eating orchids forgive no one just yet
Cut myself on angel's hair and baby's breath
Broken hymen of your highness I'm left back
Throw down your umbilical noose so I can climb right back"

-that great poet kurt cobain

'Pull the car over you're frightening the kids.
Pull the car over you're frightening the kids!
What did you promise us about grinning in the rear view without your fake teeth in?
Keep your glass eye glued on the end of the highway up ahead of us.
The collision is always licking its lips.
You weren't supposed to open the door.
Just keep the plan from drifting off course.
We'll attend to the terrified first class, convinced there's a hoof print on the bow.
All hail the wounded heart contingents
Who've given us something more than faultlessness to sing about.
Long live the prosthetic live wires.
The faulty mechanism of hope has disintegrated.'

- Keef Buckley

[Battle-Axe]

I can't really think of any all time favourites, but these are some favourites none the less :] :

"By crook or fist I'll lather up your gracious smile and take my time" - Profane

"I don't give enough to give a fuck" - Deftones

"I stand on the edge of destruction, emotionally ruined by the warmth I most desire" - Shai Hulud

"Another open eye to secrets with plans to scrape them clean, and I have stacked them higher than anyone believed. And it downplays the scene, it all comes crashing" - 36 Crazyfists

"Let's go for a walk and paint the stars in constellations of cruelty" - Will Haven

[lostpilot]

mewithoutYou, Aaron Weiss:

"We never met, you and I
We were always inside, we were somewhere inside
one another. And I'll live without you love,
but what good is one glove, without the other?" - Gentlemen.

"Why tear out single pages when you can throw away the book?
Why pluck one string when you can strum the guitar?" - Torches Together

favourite favourite - "I was looking at the leaves, climbing to the tops of the trees...
But you were nowhere to be found;
Just beneath all the green you were buried like a little seed...
Among the roots and underground.
I was licking at the leaves, but I was in short sleeves and you,
You were like some sickness that I caught;
And my sweetheart moved away, swept off like garbage in the alleyway...
And I need more grace than I thought." - Tie Me Up! Unite Me!

"And not one motion her gesture could I forget,
The prettiest bag lady I ever met...
Pushing her cart in the rain, then gathering plastic and glass
She watched the day pass,
Not hour by hour... but pain by pain.
I was a basket filled with holes, and she was the sand I tried to hold
That ran out behind me as I swung with some invisible hand." - Paperhanger.

I could go on and on with mewithoutYou lyrics. Best lyrics ever, ever and ever. So much meaning and grace. I think every person on earth should listen to 'Catch for Us the Foxes' at least once.. at least.

[Jacob]

wow, what's so hard to understand about "one-liners"?

[ronnie dobbs]

"I'll swallow poison, until I grow immune"
"Caught a bolt of lightning...cursed the day he let it go"
-ev

[lostpilot]

wow, what's so hard to understand about "one-liners"?

to me lyrics cannot be just single lines..

though, at this moment

'you are the sun, I am the earth, together we're as one'
Moving Mountains - Sol Solis

[kalhan]

and if you look at your reflection, is that all you want to be?

'somethings wrong with you and i hope we never do meet again' - deftones

'and all i'll do is try so hard against your will to hold you, before and while i disgard emotions for you, and still on your skin is the love i left you. slow down, you're mine until i let you go...'  - johnny truant

'who chokes on boxes of fucking pills?' - 36 crazyfists

'is this the Christ that you need, or not the Christ that you need?' - 36 crazyfists

The Deftones and Johnny Truant lyrics aren't exactly amazing, it's just they fit so well with the mood of the song at the exact moment they are sung...

Current: Wake the sun, so the stars can shine above what we define...Can you still see, what you first saw in me? Or are the words caught up in your teeth?
