I love that song Jibber!!

Number 22 on the warped tour 2003 comp CD...

Right after another great song by the early november..."every nights another story"

Thrice 04-25-2004 07:53 AM

Ha ha...Broken, I just went out and purchased Dizzy Up The Girl...I love this CD...i had the songs downloaded already, but its still a great CD

Brokenbutsmiling 05-01-2004 09:13 PM

Isn't that a great cd? I love it. Hmmm, what have I been listening to as far as emo lately? Here we go:

Desperate for changing
Starving for truth
I'm closer to where I started
I'm Chasing after you

I'm falling even more in love with you
Letting go of all I've held onto
I'm standing here until you make me move
I'm Hanging by a moment here with you

Forgetting all I'm lacking
Completely incomplete
I'll take your invitation
You take all of me now

I'm falling even more in love with you
Letting go of all I've held onto
I'm standing here until you make me move
I'm hanging by a moment here with you

I'm living for the only thing I know
I'm running and I question where to go
And I don't know what I'm diving into
Just hanging by a moment here with you

There's nothing else to lose
There's nothing else to find
There's nothing in the world
That can change my mind
There is nothing else

Desperate for changing
Starving for truth
I'm closer to where I started
I'm Chasing after you

I'm falling even more in love with you
Letting go of all I've held onto
I'm standing here until you make me move
I'm hanging by a moment here with you

I'm living for the only thing I know
I'm running and I question where to go
And I don't know what I'm diving into
Just hanging by a moment here with you

Just hanging by a moment
Hanging by a moment here with you.

-Lifehouse

I love that song. Oh, and I've been trying to stay away from the obvious emo choices, if you haven't noticed.

jibber 05-02-2004 03:46 PM

^ I wouldn't really classify that as emo, i dunno, i just don't like the song too much, reminds me too much of drunken kareokee singing. but that could be just me :p:

Brokenbutsmiling 05-07-2004 08:50 AM

Yah, well, it did get really popular, thus the whole bad image, but I really do believe that it's emo. It is also a good song, in my opinion.

Thrice 05-07-2004 09:51 AM

I think it was a great song...but as every mainstream song ever was over played, which made it worse in my eyes. I think its emo for sure... look at the lyrics.

jibber 05-07-2004 12:15 PM

ya i guess u'r right, if you look ta the lyrics it's pretty much an emo song. i've just never liked it all that much, but i guess its cause i can't take it seriously without it reminding me of my two drunken friends singing it for kareokee :p:

Eltiraaz 05-07-2004 08:55 PM

euch.. that song just reminds me of how badly that band wanted to sell out.. even when they were crap.. (In MY opinion)

jibber 05-08-2004 02:21 PM

ya i dunno, i guess the lyrics cuold be classified as emo, but the actual song sounds more like mainstream pop/rock to me

Thrice 05-08-2004 06:59 PM

Yeah I Agree!

I love the juliana theory quote!!! I was actually listening to that song when i read that

jibber 05-18-2004 06:01 PM

hafta post the entire lyrics to this song, because I can't narrow it down at all, one of my favorite songs, jimmy eat world - hear you me

There's no one in town I know
You gave us some place to go
I never said thank you for that
I thought I might get
One more chance
What would you
Think of me now
So lucky, so strong, so proud?
I never said thank you for that
now I'll never have a chance
May angels lead you in
Hear you me my friends
On sleepless roads
The sleepless go
May angels lead you in
So what would you
Think of me now
So lucky, so strong, so proud?
I never said thank you for that
now I'll never have a chance
May angels lead you in
Hear you me my friends
On sleepless roads
The sleepless go
May angels lead you in
May angels lead you in
May angels lead you in
And if you were
With me tonight
I'd sing to you just
One more time
A song for a heart so big
god wouldn't let it live
May angels lead you in
Hear you me my friends
On sleepless roads
The sleepless go
May angels lead you in
May angels lead you in
Hear you me my friends
On sleepless roads
The sleepless go
May angels lead you in
May angels lead you in

brokenheartsandfallenhero 05-23-2004 12:18 PM

Anymore my favorite lines are any lines from any Armor For Sleep song but especially raindrops "I wont breathe but its ok you'll be somewhere around me and I wont need air"

through being cool 05-23-2004 12:53 PM

Let's start this off by starting over
What did I expect?
You're no good at lying and I'm no good at comebacks.

--Matchbook Romance: "Lovers and Liars"

I know you well enough to know you never loved me.
--Taking Back Sunday: "Cute Without the 'E' (Cut From the Team)

brokenheartsandfallenhero 05-23-2004 12:58 PM

speaking of Matchbook...
"You're as welcome as cancer but my doors always unlocked"
Playing for keeps
I am so fricking excited on wed they are coming to Grand Junction a town like an hour from here

brokenheartsandfallenhero 05-24-2004 09:35 PM

" I know that time moves faster when youre sleeping
and I know its not too good for me because when I wake up im all alone
its just enough for me to fall in love with you
but I wake up time and time again with nothing here for proof

If I have to wake up one more time without you and these ugly red eyes
I hate the bright blue sky to greet me in the morning rather than your arms
Its just enough for me to fall in love with you
but I wake up time and time again with nothing here for proof
I need you to be with me dreams can only hold me for so long
and I will wait my life I promise to do it right
for just one moment to be alone with you

I see us standing there holding something in our hands
I see an open door Isee us walking in
were walking up the stairs
were walking up the stairs
were walking up the stairs
were walking up the stairs into our room
WAKING UP CAN BE SO HARD TO DO"

--The early November "Just enough"

starEied 05-25-2004 10:52 AM

i d say there isn't one line in a brand new song that i dont enjoy, they are brilliant.

Here, You can be anything, Anything that scares you, I think that scares you
I've Been here before, But only by myself-jimmy eat world, just watch the fireworks

this is the moment that you know
that you told you loved her but you don't.
you touch her skin and then you think
that she is beautiful but she don't mean a thing to me.
yeah, she is beautiful but she don't mean a thing to me.

so one last touch and then you'll go
and we'll pretend that it meant something so much more
but it was vile, and it was cheap
and you are beautiful but you don't mean a thing to me-death cab for cutie, tiny vessels

Who_Cares 05-25-2004 12:47 PM

I love the song "The Pharmacist" by Hot Rod Circut

Lie awake wondering
If things could've been much different
Second chance was become
Of a friendship if you call this one
Stayed in touch, stood behind
While I gave you space and you invade mine

Chourus
Well EVERYONE makes mistakes
You've let me down, for the last time
She prevails and theres nothing you can hide
And I wash my hands of you
I'm getting on with my life
X2

Wanna call and catch up
But no matter what I know you still suck
Took the drugs from my friends
Whatever were you thinkin'?

Stayed in touch, stood behind
While I gave you space
And you invade mine

Chourus

And this s**t remains the same
It makes no difference
In this stupid lonely world

And this s**t remains the same
It makes no difference
In the stupid lonely world

Chourus
X3

brokenheartsandfallenhero 05-25-2004 08:43 PM

we wonuldn't need to be hooked up to these machines"

We met with opium eyes. Amber, Auburn, Ring finger, Saturn. Sojourn with me in the twilight of dawn.

ursoscenexx 06-20-2004 11:27 AM

Wow. I have lots of fav lyrics/lines.

"I can tell it's your turn, I smell the sulfur so clear
and fire's a beautiful sound
and the wings that you burn turn to ashes my dear
and ashes just fall to the ground
yeah we're only ashes"
SOCO- Only Ashes

" 'Smile for the camera sweet heart, I really want to immortalize this
moment' but just remember the first step in forgetting is destroying all the
evidence. With friends like you who needs subtext? This is a 44. caliber love letter straight from my heart"
Alexisonfire - 44. Caliber Love Letter

"Shallow like your breath you hold while you're under these lights that bury you.
We claw and mark like animals, they show the scars we hide too well.
Notice you're awake dreaming while you walk.
Halls we create are closing in on us.
You're tired so let's turn the lights out. You're tired so let's shut it off.
It's time to count all the victims that were caught in our last explosion.
We are the couple called suicide"
Elliott- Shallow Like Your Breath

"I wake up and think dreams are real
I sleep so I don't have to feel
the truth that you can never be
the one person that won't ever forget me"
Armor For Sleep- Dream To Make Believe

"Walk away from me this night is done"
Emery- The Ponytail Parades

"And I punch the walls. Do you care at all?
Those days were forever ours.
Your forgotten lies.
They stood the test of time
So I take this opportunity, to tell you
What you don’t mean to me.
You grievances have left me standing still
Under a dark grey sky, we've come undone.
And you've lost it all.
You think you’re so beautiful. Says who?"
Athornforeveryheart- Rain On Her Parade

"I’m not sold on anything but half a dream
I’m not sensing a thing
I see a blank notebook page
and it’s my life and
there is nothing I can think to write"
Saosin- They Perch On Their Stilts And Dare Me To Break Custom

"Empty another bottle
and let me tear you to pieces
this is me wishing you
into the worst situations
I'm the kind of kid
that can't let anything go
but you wouldn't know a good thing
if it came up and slit your throat"
Fall Out Boy- My Heart Is The Worst Kind Of Weapon

I have to post up all the lyrics to this song. Posted for sheer brilliance.

"lets pretend we're not needy
lets pretend our hearts still beat
lets pretend we fall in love tonight
clumsy enough to fall for anything
we'll stumble on our words
we'll spill our guts on creaking bar stools
below the neon blue
low lives hiding in dives there's no feeling in drinking sleeping with strangers
ghosts passing through bedrooms unaware
a faint reflection on the barbacks mirror
a face I never knew whispering,
'please dont be a stranger to me. who are you if you're alone?'
you're no good at pretending
all my plays have tragic endings
you wish I was a fairy tale
this frog will never change anything
just pretend that you're in love
that scolding sun is bound to come up eventually
so who is it that whispers in your ear?
a haunting voice blows in through the window
there's no feeling floating over beds
a needy pleading apparition
crying,
'who am I if im alone?
I hardly exist at all.
let's pretend that we dont need anything anymore from anyone.
I don't want to feel anything anymore let's just pretend'

we'll live happily ever after"

Ok. I there's tons more... but I think I should stop now =]
Oh also... I think the lyrics to Bright Eyes- Lover I Don't Have To Love are quite spiffy aswell <3

re:
 
I've found the answer lies in the real emotion,
Not the self-indulgence of a self-devotion – rites of spring

Such rage that you could scream. the stars right out of the sky
And destroy the prettiest starry night. every evening that I die. Alone – a beautiful mistake

I will kiss every scar, and weep you are not alone...
then I'll show you that place in my chest where my heart still tries to beat. - a beautiful mistake

Every unsuspecting scene when we're supposed to make believe that we're not tearing at the seams,
We hang on – the get up kids

If ever i lied, what would it be
If i were to die because you discovered me – the get up kids

If it makes you less sad, I will die by your hand, I hope you find out what you want, I already know what I am." -Brand New

this might just be a waste of time but there's no one i'd rather waste my time with than all of my best friends"-Something Corporate

And they'd be awkward all the things I would have said. And that's the reason they have not been spoken yet"-Unsung Zeros

Its hard to give up the one, you never thought you’d leave – Juliana theory

I have found this situation is somehow contagious
two stand beside me but one will deny me for sure – Denver harbor

This heart is yours again, bleeding in your hands and I hope you’re satisfied as you watch me fall apart – Denver harbor

You diagnose my misery while empathy just fills your eyes
just another reason I am so far gone – Denver harbor

The stage is set to pour it out and fall out
Terrifying serenity
Wondering which one of us will fall first – anatomy of a ghost

"I could write you a song, send you a note, or empty out your trash. Buy a bucket full of diamonds, but even though mose beautiful of all; roses must someday cruble to dust and fade away; certain tragedy" - Certain Tragedy by Saves the Day

"you've become a ghost. your floating somewhere in between the waking world and a landscape of dreams. But it nothin, but dyin! Got a grenade stuck in your teeth, and your pulling out the pin, youre an illusion, just a shadowed flickering underneath the sun!" - As Your Ghost Takes Flight - Saves the Day ( probably my favorite line, but 7x7 by Brand New is close, well the break )

"As I'm talking my words slip to the floor, and they crawl through your legs, slide under the back door; rendering me freakish and dazed." - Freakish - Saves the Day

"Ask me now - you say "chris look out across the sky, tell me which way the wind blows." " - All-Star Me - Saves the Day

The whole song of Rocks Tonic Juice Magic by Saves the Day

"Been in a parking lot! By myself, its 1/4 to 9 and ive been here since 5:45, woah theres no one. But i can see some flickering lights, i can hear some dogs, barkin in the backyard. I smell gasoline, wish the sky were open cuz if there werent those trees i think i could see, for miles. the city is just beyond those clouds..... Remembering the warm warm nights, remembering the open arms of 2 years ago...yea theres something bout this parking lot, and seeing the stars in morning, i can see them from where im lyin. I can feel the cold, cold pavement on my skin. It's tinglin', it's tinglin'....it's tingling." The Last Lie I Told - Saves the Day

"I'll sit in my room, sleep all day, think up dreams. Like i'm the cutest kid in school, or I could be crazy and sing about memories. I remember when I sat on those steps, watchin the moon, chase the sky back till the world seemed like it would explode and i can picture going up with it, it'd be just how i'de like to go, and ide sing." - Houses and Billboards - Saves the Day another one of my ultimate favorites...honestly people you just can't touch CC, hes so talented.

Whole song of Obsolete by Saves The Day. Amazing. As well as "Jodie".

So many more, but ill stop here.

re: lyrics
 
Once again, in self defense I won’t sleep a wink to prevent dreaming of you…

It falls from the sky, with the intentions of killing. It kills the ones lost on love.

Crumbling I drop a rock and hear the echoes of the screams as it hits the bottom. At the bottom I find my heart

And it just feels right floating around your room. It just feels right touching your hair. It just feels right to hold onto what we felt before.

I think I'll throw these emotions to the wind. And let them scatter, just let them scatter

Maybe I'll just sit here for forever until I die. And maybe the night will never come…

The hours pass by like minutes when I'm with you. The hours pass like minutes in the rain. So let’s stand here in the rain forever.

You're the reason I feel broken and branded and burning with doubt

Every fiber of my being has been touched by thoughts of you…even my blood screams your name…

It wails through the breeze a lonely song…gently caressing the bruises we left.

Sing this song for me. Tell me how you'll never leave my side and I'll meet you around 7, and I miss you already, goodbye to you…

Stay with me, don’t close your eyes. Don’t leave me without your hand I’ll give you everything I have…my heart my life my soul my song

Lie still with your hand on my heart to feel the words I’m trying to tell you

Tekron 07-12-2004 11:07 AM

quite a few of their songs are emo. Overall, their probably more metalcore., but a lot of their songs are very emo. check out shevanel take 2, its very soft with clean vocals and emo lyrics. fire for a dry mouth, and a few other are also emo..more of myself to kill...hmmm yea.

refusethemark 07-12-2004 11:04 PM

um... my mates' band wrote that line..

Thrice 07-13-2004 09:23 PM

What's the name of the band?

Tekron 07-15-2004 10:03 AM

Bowl of oranges is an awesome song by Bright Eyes... their really good, but their music is too light for me so I don't like most of their stuff. Personal pref.
