if ur talking about punk lyrics your not allowed to talk about avril, i dont mind one or two of her songs but she is not punk.

"some times you get too close to see
a different side of what life could be
and if you stare too long
it all becomes a blur and its easy to forget
just who we are
don't stare to hard, just take a look around..." - 2 close 2 c

Hey all the official site is http://strung-out.com/. Anyways, i love too close to see, and speaking of Strung Out, one of the things that almost bugs me as much as Avril "hope u fall down a" Ravine is the fact that BLINK 182's DRUMMER is being considered a better drummer than JORDAN BURNS (strung out). OH, MY, GOD PEOPLE! What the hell?!?!?! If there is a blink fan here who knows drumming , please tell me which song is travis' best, because i've heard a lot of his songs and compared to Strung Out's drummer, he SUCKS!!!!!!! Compared to a lot of drummers he SUCKS, i think compared to MY drummer he sucks, and our drummer has only been drumming for a year now. I've never hated blink more than now, because they're getting lots of credit for their new album, which in my opinion is a disgrace to music. ALL music. And anyone who thinks travis is a great drummer who does thne most impossible stuff, go download Mike Portnoy(dream theater drummer)'s drum solo. In the name of all that is holy please never use "Blink 182 is better" . And "Strung Out" in the same sentence again.

i like her! :)

I think Travis and Jordan are comparible, but they have different styles.

I think Coheed has some of the best lyrics, I like some of Thrice's, but i wouldn't consider them the best. I think GJ has some killer lyrics too.

I have to agree that travis is a really good drummer. you have to look past the guitar and bass lines made up of 3 or 4 power chords and really listen to the drum line. If you've ever heard him go off on his own, without the usual confines of the band's music, it's actually pretty clear that the guy really has a lot of talent.

anyone here like the used .....if so im me or sumthin my sn is peeqaboo912

Ok getting back on subject, I'm doing a poetry assignment in english, and i was asked to get a love song and write about it.
Anyways the love song i chose was 'Ultimate Devtion' by 'Strung Out.'
I think its one of the best love poems ever. Here it is:

"Ultimate Devotion"

One o one point one Fahrenheit
To some it's a fever, to her it's just right
and I can't hold her
and it's bringin' me down
her blood runs hot but her heart beats cold
a devil with an angels face I've been told
I think I'll press my luck next time you're around
I'd walk through fire for you
I'd burn in hell to make it all true
I never loved anyone else in this world but you
a thousand reasons why I try to prove to you
I'm not the other guy
I don't give a damn what other people think
a flare for the strange and a temper like a whip
a soft hand clutches a riding crop grip
smell of latex rubber-drives me insane
beat him once then send him on his way
there's no room in your life for anyone to stay
engrave your moniker in welts of pain
there's nothin I wouldn't do to prove
to make these words I promised true
I'd rather live my life alone than without you
you know I'd rather die then to **** this up
wouldn't get another try
got one chance there's nothing I wouldn't do
you be my master I'll be your servant
on my knees I beg to be abused
You can take the skin right off my back
with a riding crop or a leather strap
I'd take it all just to be with you

I'd walk through fire for you
I'd burn in hell to make it all true
I never loved anyone else in this world but you
a thousand reasons why I try to prove to you
I'm not the other guy
You're my goddess and I worship you.

awesome Yellow! True, true, awesome love poem. Another one is Exumation of Virginia madison, it's kind of unorthodox LOL but awesome!

No one knows where
I buried my sweet Virgina Madison
the winter chill falls over me
and keeps me numb inside
under the moon by the edge of town
she quietly waits for me
I promised it wouldn't be too long
till I returned to sleep with her
she says she don't wanna live no more
well I don't mind
no I don't mind
so now I'm waitin' for the crack of dawn
to head on back there
to the place where me and her will always be
now I got my Sunday vest
and I'm headed out that door
dig my fingers deep in soil just to get to her
all dressed in black and she's so pale
she's waiting there for me
a blanket of soil covers us
to fall asleep in eternity
and now I close my eyes
when I awake with a snap it was all a dream
I gotta empty bottle of something under me
I gotta really bad headache
my clothes are soaking wet
at times like this I wish I hadn't slept
star locked gaze, uneasy hands
then the dream fades away
and leaves my head
another riddle another dream
another ****ed up fantasy
gotta learn to stay away from all this tv

and this nofx song is just cool. Really shows that they don't give a crap what people think of them!

WE AIN'T ****
Tear that poster off the wall
It takes up too much space
We ain't no ****ing rock band, man
We're a professional
Disgrace - is the word I would use
To describe
The noises we're making
Feedback, wrong key, a lack of dignity
So don't think we don't know we're
****in' losers
Washed up old men
The years we'd play the same four chords
Over and over and once again
Posing as musicians
Justify what we get paid
Time to forfeit,
We may be in the light,
But we ain't ****
We may not get respect
You think we don't know
We may be riding on a one way ticket down
We're going down
But i got no regrets
They'll come in time
I can't remember having a better time

On the road to pity
We just
Passed integrity
Pull the plug, put us
Out of this aural misery
Giving a new meaning to
Flogging a dead horse... so we
All agree
Please drop us
At the next glue factory
Yeah, yeah, yeah, we know that we ain't ****

I love NOFX!

thats heaps rad

.....yet again with the rad....

^sorry its a habbit,

Short Stories With Tragic Endings

Here you stand seething with guilt.
Silence only justifies this act of cowardice.
The look stapled on your face cries out for forgiveness,
the one thing that I cannot give.

(Did you ever see that one person
and the way they do these things
and it hurts you so much it's like choking choking choking
down the embers)

I can give you freedom from your guilt,
with a flick of my wrist onto yours.
I can give you peace of mind with a forced smile.
I can give you death with the look upon my face.

This is your freedom in a life of fallacy,
with no last kiss and no regrets;
you don't deserve good bye.
This is your freedom in a life of fallacy,
with no last kiss and no good bye.

Here you stand seething with guilt.
Silence only justifies this act of cowardice.

With a short story, the one you add to daily, you are the tragic loss.
No story book ending for this fairy tale of you.
Just the one composed with blood taken from your pen that you hold in your
lifeless hand.
Cry for you! Shed tears! Mourn! Wish the end!
Cry for you! Shed tears! Mourn! Wish the end!

(Did you ever look, did you ever see that one person,
and the subtle way that they do these things and it hurts so much?
So much like choking down the embers of a great blaze.
It's that moment when your eyes seem to spread aspersions
and to scream confessions at the insipid sky parting clouds.
You let this one person come down in the most perfect moment.
And it breaks my heart to know the only reason you are here now is
A reminder of what I'll never have
I'll never have... I'll never...
Standing so close knowing that it kills me to breathe you in.
Standing so close knowing that it kills me to breathe you in.
But this table for one has become bearable.
I now take comfort in this, and for this, I cherish you.
Did you ever look, did you ever see that one person
and the subtle way that they do these things and it hurts so much?
So much like choking down the embers of a great blaze.
It's that moment when your eyes seem to spread aspersions
and to scream confessions at the insipid sky parting clouds.
And you let this one person come down, come down.
I cherish you...I cherish you.
Just say you would do the same for me.
Just say you would do the same for me.
Say you would do the same...
Just say you would do the same for me.
For as much as I love Autumn,
I'm giving myself to Ashes.)

best lyrics ever

ofcourse the best lyrics are:

Atom Bomb! T-N-T!
New Disease
poor city

flying over hiroshima, 1945 the city looks small from way up here i wonder who will survive.

Atom Bomb! T-N-T!
New Disease
Poor City

A blinding flash hotter than the sun dead bodies lie across the path the radiation colors the air finishing one by one!

~1945~

One of my favourite lyrics of all time is this song. 'The Melting Point Of Wax' by 'Thrice'.
i wrote a three page report for it in english, its sooooo rad.

I've waited for this moment
All my life and more
And now i see so clearly
What i could not see before.
The time is now or never
This chance won't come again
Throw caution and myself to the wind.

There's no promise of safety with these secondhand wings
But im willing to find out what impossible means.
A leap of faith.

Parody of an angel
Miles above the sea
I hear the voice of reason
Screaming up to me
"You've flown far too high boy now you're too close to the sun,
Soon your makeshift wings will come undone"

But how will I know limits from lies if i never try?

Theres no promise of safety with these secondhand wings
But im willing to find out what impossible means.
Climb to the heavens on feathers and dreams
Because the melting point of wax means nothing to me.
Nothing to me
Nothing to me

I will touch the sun or I will die trying.
Die Trying.

Fly on these secondhand wings
Willing to find out what impossible means
Climb to the heavens on feathers and dreams
Because the melting point of wax means nothing to me
Nothing to me
Means nothing to me
Miles above the sea.




Excellent

best lyric-
"my love life was getting so bland,
there are only so many ways i can make love with my hand.
sometimes it makes me want to laugh,
sometimes i wanna take my toaster in the bath"
M&Ms, Blink 182

Id have to vouch with sical d on this one. The lyrics for almost any social d song just go above and beyond anything else in the realm of punk. Ball and chain could easily contest with anything by Costello, Cash, or Dylan. Ness is a genious.

"We've got our college kids so interested in beer
they don't even care if we start manufacturing germ bombs again.
Put a nuclear stockpile in their back yard,
they wouldn't even know what it looked like
So how 'bout it? Look-War is money.
The arms manufacturers tell me unless
we get our bomb factories up to full production
the whole economy is going to collapse
The Soviets are in the same boat.
We all agree the time has come for the big one, so whadya say?!?" - Dead Kennedys (Kinky Sex Makes the World Go Round)
