Favorite Lines from an Emo Song?
 
Brand New "Seventy Times 7"

"So is that what you call a getaway?
Tell me what you got away with
Cuz I've seen more spine in jellyfish
I've seen more guts in 11 year old kids
So have another drink and drive yourself home
I hope there's ice on all the roads
And you can think of me when you forget your seatbelt
And again when your head goes through the windshield"

upon arrival the guests had all stared
dripping wet and clearly depressed he'd headed straight for the stairs
no longer cool but a boy in a stitch
unprepared for a life full of lies and failing relationships

"I've got my hands on the one hand
but I don't know where to put them."
-The Promise Ring, 'Nothing Feels Good'

"There was this book I read and loved, the story of a ship
Who sailed around the world and found that nothing else exists
Beyond his own two sails, and wooden shell
And what is held within
All else is sure to pass, we clutch and grasp
And debate what's truly permanent
But when the wind starts to shift
Well, there's no argument"
-Bright Eyes 'Oh, You Are The Roots That Sleep....'

and loadsa thrice lyrics

Eltiraaz 02-17-2004 04:37 PM

fave liness
 
I have a few..

Cursive - The Recluse

'How'd I end up here to begin with? I don't know.
Why do I start what I can't finish?
Oh please, don't barrage me with questions to all those ugly answers.
My ego's like my stomach- it keeps ****ting what I feed it.
But maybe I don't want to finish anything anymore..
maybe I can wait in bed 'til she comes home. and whispers:
"you're in my web now - I've come to wrap you up tight 'til it's time to bite down."'

Emery - Walls

"Are you listening?
we write a thousand pages, they're torn and on the floor
headlights hammer the windows, we're locked behind these doors
and we are never leaving, this place is part of us
and all these scenes repeating are cold to the touch..

there's no conversation, words without remorse
and this television drowns the only source
wake from these dreams of you in my arms
to the staircase where you hold my heart
this place, these walls mean everything to me."

And most Thursday lyrics.

I know they're kinda long, but ooo they're good. :)

Clover 02-18-2004 06:37 PM

I have a lot, but at the moment these happen to be my favorite

speak to me
tell me something so typical
a lullaby or something miserable
that will keep me up at night

lie to me
give me something worth living for
tell me a reason worth fighting for
give me anything, anything to keep me breathing

go lie to me
tell me stories so beautiful
an epic of something so terrible
that it makes me weep

cross out these days
on the calendar
it hurts me so much
and im not quite sure
i care anymore

LOL, emocapella. Me and one of my friends had this huge discussion last week between my quote (which i said was the favorite) and your quote (which he had previously said was his favorite). Of course neither of us gave in, but regardless they are two great quotes.

Once again your eyes
Make it hard to say goodbye
So I'll just keep driving
Where you wanna go
It doesn't really matter
As long as you are here with me
With me
With me
-Finch



Shake down, you make me break, for goodness sake
I think I'm on the edge of something new with you
Shout out, don't drown the sound
I'll drown you out, you'll never scream so loud
As I want to scream with you

Standing there with your smile blinding your eyes from seeing
my face as I'm dying to figure out a girl
But she drifts so far away, I'm on her coast
So maybe I should stay and map around your world

So Don't Say, These currents are still killing me
And you can't explain
How the wind went and pulled me into your hurricane
Into your hurricane

Stand up don't make a sound, your ears might bleed
There's sweet fluorescent enemies that live inside of me
The world moves faster than I knew, not fast enough
To not creep up on you and the space we put between

So pull me under your weather patterns
Your cold fronts and the rain don't matter
Because a sun burns what I needed

So Don't Say, These currents are still killing me
And you can't explain
How the wind went and pulled you into the hurricane
Into the hurricane

You don't do it on purpose but you make me shake
Now I count the hours until you wake
With your babies breath
Breathe symphonies
Come on sweet catastrophe

Well maybe this time I can follow through
I can feel complete, stop paying dues
Stop the rain from falling
keep my ocean calm
This time I know nothings wrong

So Don't Say, These currents are still killing me
And you can't explain
How the wind went and pulled me in and no
You Don't Say, These currents are still killing me
And you can't explain
How the wind went and pulled me into your hurricane
Into your hurricane, into your hurricane
-Something Corporate

That is one of the greatest examples of songwriting, in my opinion.

jibber 03-13-2004 11:05 PM

Open up my eyes, flooded with daylight
Another sleepless night turns color black and white
With all the things I've said
There is just regret, repeating in my head

Hands into a fist, static in my head
Now I'm sitting face to face with loneliness
What did I expect, did I see forever in you?

I never want it to hurt more than it should
I hope you're satisfied, I never could

Time to close my eyes, forget about this mess
And try to fix this tragic loss of innocence
But how can I forget, the things I have inside
When everything is dead?

I never want it to hurt more than it should
I hope you're satisfied, I never could
Can't you see, you left me on my own
Give me one good reason why I should let go

With my hands around your neck
Who will stop me now?
x4

Who will stop me now??
x7

I never want it to hurt more than it should
I hope you're satisfied, I never could
Can't you see, you left me on my own
Give me one good reason why I should let go now...

Finch - 3 simple words

jibber 03-13-2004 11:12 PM

Today is just like all the others
I'm not alright i've cried my last tears
I'm bleeding out my pain as you scream at me (Just Why?)
You've got me waiting by myself
I never wanted more than this
What will it take to get the truth
I'm on my knees
Another page of i'm sorry's addressed to me
Another story for the collection of memories folded neatly
And I will never make the same mistake...

finch - waiting

brokenheartsandfallenhero 03-13-2004 11:18 PM

hey jibber cant forget about Letters to You :)

Can't you see that I wanna be there with open arms
It's empty tonight and I'm all alone
Get me through this one

Do you notice I'm gone?
Where do you run to so far away?

I want you to know that I miss you I miss you so
I want you to know that I miss you I miss you so

I'm writing again these letters to you aren't much, I know
But I'm not sleeping and you're not here
The thought stops my heart

Do you notice I'm gone?
Where do you run to so far away?

I want you to know that I miss you I miss you so [x4]

No more looking I've found home

I want you to know that I miss you I miss you so [x4]

I'm gone away
I'm gone away

jibber 03-13-2004 11:34 PM

haha thats so funny, i'm actually listening to that right now, and i was just gonna come and post the lyrics, i'm completely serious. what it is to burn is also a great song by finch.

She burns

Today's on fire
The sky is bleeding above me, and I am blistered
I walk these lines of blasphemy, every day
And still

Like a bad star, I'm falling faster down to her
She's the only one who knows, what it is to burn

I feel diseased
Is there no sympathy from the sun?
The sky's still fire
But I am safe in here, from the world outside

So tell me
What's the price to pay for glory?

Like a bad star, I'm falling faster down to her
She's the only one who knows, what it is to burn

Today is fire, and she burns
Today is fire, and she burns
She burns
She burns
She burns
She burns
She burns
She burns


Like a bad star, I'm falling faster down to her
She's the only one who knows, what it is to burn

brokenheartsandfallenhero 03-13-2004 11:36 PM

lol thats good!!!!! Have you heard the acoustic version of that it is so freakin awesome you gotta hear it

jibber 03-13-2004 11:41 PM

ya i know, its amazing i love it. another great song is perfection through silence.

Alone at last together in a photograph
Our eyes are always open devoted to perfection
through silence

What am I supposed to do?
Should I sit wait for you?
Listen to me screaming more

This story is old only to those that have no mold
The truth can be bought or sold
What are we buying?
Nothing but silence.

What am I supposed to do?
Should I sit wait for you?
Listen to me screaming more

Fold the Corners,
Break the silence,
Fold the corners,
just for tonight.
WHEN WEAKENED, WHEN WILL YOU RISE?!

what am I supposed to do?
Should I sit wait for you?
Listen to me screaming more

brokenheartsandfallenhero 03-13-2004 11:44 PM

SO MANY GOOD FINCH SONGS whether screaming into the mic or strumming an acoustic they can always move me

jibber 03-13-2004 11:48 PM

ya i know, soooo many good songs, i think i'll refrain from posting more lyrics. another great band that i'm really into at the moment is flickerstick. i already mentioned them in the recomend a new band thread, but hey, can't hurt to spread the word more :)

Brokenbutsmiling 03-14-2004 12:26 PM

...Chloroform the one, the one that you love...

That is indeed an awesome song from an awesome band.

Thrice 03-14-2004 03:54 PM

Where did you get the acoutic version of what it is to burn?

winterslastbreath 03-14-2004 07:40 PM

ill make my way across the frozen sea
beyond the blank horizon
where i can forget 'you and me'
and get a decent night's sleep
-saves the day

paint my face in shades of blood and grey and take the seat right next to me
well i should've known that you were a killer.
but now i'm dead.
-senses fail

flickerstick yes!!

heres the lyrics to that song:

And if i couldn't attain
All i need to explain
Would she even look me in the eye again
She sits back and ignores
My need to adore
Intimidations got me down again
She's only 18 but such a beautiful dream
All she needs is some chloroform
And she'll be mine
Chloroform the one, the one that you love
And take her back

Every once in a while
I catch a strut and a smile
Maybe rejection is the high
That keeps me coming here
I need some compassion but she's
Laughing at the nervousness
I feel whenever she is around
And i can't see just how real
Is the charm no i don't mean
Her no harm despite my heart
And the challenge while she's lying here

Chloroform the one, the one that you love
And take her back
(repeat 1 more time)

So just walk on by
I can see today is like any other day
But it seems brighter than it was before
I just can't believe that its
Not the same no it's not the same
It will never be the same for me again

Chloroform the one, the one that you love
And take her back
(repeat 3 more times)

and here's beautiful, my favorite flickerstick song:

You could be the devil in my bed
You could be the angel in my head
You could be the voices that i hear
I'm singing along because it sounds just like you're near
Cause you're so beautiful
You're beautiful today
You're so beautiful
Beautiful in every little way
Cause when you're coming around
I'm off the ground
I've got to say
You're so beautiful
You're beautiful today

I could be the drug you can't resist
I could be the antidote you missed
I could be the love you hate to fear
You're filling the hole inside your heart with feeling near to me

Cause you're so beautiful
You're beautiful today
You're so beautiful
Beautiful in every little way
Cause when you're coming around
I'm off the ground
I've got to say
You're so beautiful
You're beautiful today

Can we make it through
Together we got to fly
Don't you know i got to fly
Cause when you're coming around i got to fly
Don't you know i want to fly

And i know
And i feel
That i could learn to hate just like you
And i know
And i feel
That you could learn to love just like me

(repeat above 6 lines)

(repeat chorus w/above 3 lines in background)

Can we make it through together
I've got to fly

Brokenbutsmiling 03-15-2004 07:19 PM

I got the accoustic version of that finch song from a friend, if somebody could figure a way for me to post it or something, I'd upload it for anyone that wants it. Maybe I could put it on my ftp and just give a password. PM me if you want it, we'll work something out. That song rocks.

banonbush 03-15-2004 10:07 PM

So we park these cars
In parent's garages
Listen to the lullaby
Of carbon monoxide
-War all the time -Thursday
The whole song is good, but those are some pretty well though out lines. I wish I could come up with stuff like that.

Thrice 03-16-2004 08:55 AM

Ya i love those lines!!

Brand New - Play Crack The Sky

I just got the Brand New CD (Deja Entendu) it totally kicks ass. They have a "listen to" section in their booklet, I can see that their musical influences are also quite varied.

Brokenbutsmiling 03-16-2004 07:10 PM

Youth's the most unfaithful mistress,
Still we forge ahead to miss her,
Rushing our moment to shine...

...We're not twenty-one,
but the sooner we are,
the sooner the fun will begin,
so get out your fake eyelashes,
and fake i.d's,
and real disasters ensue,
it's cool to take these chances.
It's cool to fake romances.
and grow up fast, and grow up fast,
and grow up fast, and grow up fast.

-Dashboard Confessional - Swiss Army Romance

DismembermentPlan 04-14-2004 02:03 AM

Dismemberment plan have some really really cool lyrics...


This is from the "The City"...

Now I notice the streetlamp's hum
The ghosts of graffiti they couldn't quite erase
The blank-faced stares on the subway
As the people go home
The parks lay empty like my unmade bed
The streets are silent like my lifeless telephone
And this is where I live, but
I've never felt less at home
So I'm not unsympathetic
I see why you left
There's no one to know
There's nothing to do
The city's been dead
Since you've been gone


If anyone can find any lyrics from Lazycain, I'd be hugely gratefull. They have some mad music

jibber 04-14-2004 09:09 PM

my favorite song right now, brand new - no seatbelt song. i can't narrow it down to a few lines, so here's the song.

So, it's sad this doesn't suit you now
And me fresh out of rope
Please ignore the lisp
I never meant to sound like this
So take me and break me
And make me strong like you
I'll be forever grateful to
This and you
It's only you, beautiful
Or I don't want anyone
If I can choose
It's only you
Fix me to a chain around your neck
And wear me like a nickel
Even new wine served in old skins cheapens the taste
I shot the pilot
I'm begging you to fly this for me
I'm here for you to use
Broken and bruised
Do you understand?
It's only you, beautiful
Or I don't want anyone
If I can choose
It's only you
But how could I miscalculate
Perfect eyes will have perfect aim
If I can choose
it's only you
"We're wrecking"
And I'm dry like a drum
So fine I'll leave
We're spent
Take our time in trials
Measured in miles
And we slave for days
(And we)
It's only you, beautiful
Or I don't want anyone
If I can choose
It's only you
But how could I miscalculate
Perfect lies from a perfect hate
If I can choose
It's only you

Brokenbutsmiling 04-15-2004 05:15 PM

Baby's black balloon makes her fly
I almost fell into that hole in your life
And you're not thinking about tomorrow
'Cause you were the same as me
But on your knees

A thousand other boys could never reach you
How could I have been the one
I saw the world spin beneath you
And scatter like ice from the spoon
That was your womb

Comin' down the world turned over
And angels fall without you there
And I go on as you get colder
Or are you someone's prayer

You know the lies they always told you
And the love you never knew
What's the things they never showed you
That swallowed the light from the sun
Inside your room, yeah

Comin' down the world turned over
And angels fall without you there
And I go on as you get colder
Always someone

And there's no time left for losin'
When you stand they fall, yeah

Comin' down the world turned over
And angels fall without you there
And I go on as you get colder

All because I'm
Comin' down the years turn over
And angels fall without you there
And I'll go on and i'll lead you home and
All because I'm
All because I'm
And I'll become
What you became to me

Thrice 04-18-2004 09:34 AM

I love the Goo Goo Dolls

Brokenbutsmiling 04-22-2004 08:52 AM

The Goo Goo dolls are quite possibly my favorite band ever. Dizzy up the girl is the greatest cd in my mind, the greatest cd period. You've got Iris, slide, Black Balloon, Broadway, and so much more. Then again, I'm addicted to the 90's.

When I was young I knew everything,
And she, a punk who rarely ever took advice
Now I'm guilt-stricken, sobbin' with my head on the floor
Stopped a baby's breath and a shoe full of rice, no...


Can't be held responsible
She was touchin' her face
I won't be held responsible
She fell in love in the first place


For the life of me
I can not remember
What made us think that we were wise and we'd never compromise
For the life of me
I can not believe we'd ever die
For these sins
We were merely freshmen

My best friend took a week's vacation to forget her
His girl took a week's worth of valium and slept
And now he's guilt-stricken, sobbin'
With his head on the floor
Thinks about her now and how he never really wept he said


We tried to wash our hands of all of this
We'd never talk of our lacking relationships
And how we're guilt-stricken sobbin' with our heads on the floor
We fell through the ice when we tried not to slip we'd say...

We were merely freshmen
We were only freshmen

The Freshman by The Verve pipe. Bittersweet symphony rocks as well.

jibber 04-22-2004 05:13 PM

^ one of my favorite songs of all time, but it always gets me depressed, i couldn't listen to it for about 6 months a while ago.

I got the message long before you said you knew
There was no chance of us at all
With no velocity and empty-headed hard and far-to-long
I spent two years alone with you
Just when I thought I had forgotten
You came back soft without a sound

You said we were an accident
With accidents you’ll never know what could have been
So we were an accident
You’ll always be my favorite one

You hit the road and left me an ocean
I can't swim in the silence of your skin-skin please let me in
Side the times we never had right
Inside two years alone with you

You said we were an accident
With accidents you’ll never know what could have been
So we were an accident
You’ll always be my favorite one

we could have been
we could have been
instead of accidental running always running
why can’t you believe

Long winded promises of future company
Up close the sound remains the same
Without the reign of terror over every momentary change
We are exactly as before

You hit the road and left me an ocean
I can't swim in the silence of your skin-skin please let me in
Side the time I had to forget you
Inside no chance of us at all

motion city soundtrack - my favorite accident
