The Hitman

Guest
Everyone has lyrics which mean sopmething to them or which have stood out to them.

So what are they?

The Hitman
 
"and then one day you find
ten years have gone behind you
no-one told you when to run
you missed the starting gun ..."

so you run and you run to catch up with the sun, but its sinking
racing around to come up behind you again
the sun is the same but in a relative way you're older

the time has gone, the song is sung
thought I'd have something more to say ..."

cheers
 
Here are a selection lyrics that mean something or stand out to me...

Creep - Radiohead

"When you were here before, couldn't look you in the eye, you're just like an angel, your skin makes me cry. You float like a feather, in a beautiful world...you're so ****ing special, I wish I was special..."

Means a lot to me because I wrote a letter to a chick last year and she rejected me, and it is my favorite all time song.

Smells Like Teen Spirit - Nirvana

"Oh well...whatever...nevermind..."

They epitamize me. My outlook on my life, although planned, honestly, I could die tomorrow and not give a ****.

Immortality - Pearl Jam

"Some just die to live..."

The second last track on the Vitalogy album, it is said this was written about Kurt Cobain, which could be found true if you listen to the whole song closely. I also find those words to be true...

No - Soulfly

"No more mother ****in' Hootie and the Blowfish..."

That's gotta be a good thing. Good call Max.

3 Libra's - A Perfect Circle

"But I see, see through it all, see through, see you...Cos I threw you the obvious, just to see, if there's more behind the eyes of a fallen angel, eyes of a tragedy...Oh well...Oh well...apparently nothing. Apparently nothing at all..."

For some reason it reminds me of my ex-girlfriend who I was in love with and was such an angel, who then cheated on me and ripped my heart out.

That's about it for now, but I will add more as they come to me...

The Hitman
 
"now she's done and they're calling someone
such a familiar name
i'm so glad that my memories remote
'cos i'm doing just fine hour to hour, note to note
here it is the revenge to the tune
"you're no good,
you're no good you're no good you're no good"
can't you tell that it's well understood"


Elliot Smith Waltz #2

"y'know, i don't look forward
to seeing you again soon
you'll look like a photograph of yourself
taken from far far away
and i won't know what to do
and i won't know what to say"


Ani Difranco - Untouchable face

"This year April had a blizzard
Just to show she did not care
And the new dead leaves
They made the trees look like children with gray hair
But I'll push myself up through the dirt
And shake my petals free
I'm resolved to being born
And so resigned to bravery"


Dar Williams - Spring Street

"I have my books
And my poetry to protect me;
I am shielded in my armor,
Hiding in my room, safe within my womb.
I touch no one and no one touches me.
I am a rock,
I am an island.


Simon and Garfunkel - I am a rock

Song For Jasmine - 28 Days
"Sorry i have to go away,
No please don't misconstrue,
I just hope you understand one day
the hardest part was leaving you"

The Get Up Kids - My Apology
"Sometimes i can think to recite
words that i read and rewrite.
My pen points people that i've proven wrong"

- Out Of Reach
"There's room to believe,
out of sight, out of mind,
out of reach.
Reluctance ties up with irresponsibility."

I guess they all have a certain meaning. The things that can happen in life and the things you can do in life.
 
I could go for a week here but i will do the main ones

Wheres The Pope? - Trust

look in your eyes, and i see nothing
nothing that tells the truth.
after everything you said to me, i put my trust in you.
The more i think, i know i should have, should have seen the truth
If i gave you half a c hance, I'd end up being used.
Now you try to touch me, but my trust just dissapears
You try to say your sorry, but it just falls upon deaf ears


Says it all about me and my ex really. My life has been full of backstabbing from friends and girlfriends. And people wonder why i dont want a girlfriend! I loved my ex like noone else but after 1 1/2 years she threw it back in my face. We went out again a few months later but broke my heart again. Never again will i trust a girl so quickly.
THATS TO YOU NICOLA

Snot (featuring Jon Davis) - TAKE IT BACK

Fly
Take to the sky another dream of empty
Lies
Of Promises denied by a forgiving
God
Who eats his young your nothing you f*kin
Fraud
My belief was betrayed i lost my faith in you


basically the same as above

Snot (Featuring M.C.U.D) - I KNOW WHERE YOU'RE AT


I see fools laughing and I want to cry
I see fools living it up and I want to die
$h!t it feels like ive got one foot in the grave already
It feels like Jesus is out to get me, test me and watch me fail
But i know its not too late for me


I get real depressed quite often and this song just says everything i feel at those moments

SEVENDUST - ANGELS SON

Life is Changing
I can't go on, without you
Rearranging, I will be strong
I'll stand by you

You were fighting, everyday
So hard to hide the pain
I know you never said goodbye
I have so much left to say


This is to my great grandma who died when i was about 10ish. I was closer to her than any other family member and her death really shook me around. Especially when me and my mum were going to go see her the day before she died but said "we'll go tomorrow instead"....i have so much left to say is damn right!!

(hed) PE - PAC BELL

Why the F**k you F***ing with me
Why the F**k you playing with me
Why the F**k you wasting me time
Why the F**K you hiding my sunshine
With friends like you who really needs it
My smiling face is misplaced, its so decieving
I can feel my spirit leaving
I cut my wrists you see them bleeding
Just like a parasite you creeping
See me psychotic see me jumping off the deep end


Another one to my ex girlfriend!

(hed) PE - Jesus (Of Nazareth)

Twenty thousand leagues deep on the mic,
mass murder, court convicted, terroristic creature of the night
No, dont let me get freaky tonight,
No, dont fee me tonight
I been drinking way too much jagermeister
Mommy pray for me, cos im not feeling right
Ive been hearing these voices
They been telling me to take my own life
Breathe my last breath, Eat my last meal
You got what you deserve, HAHA how does that feel?


says it all really doesnt it...plus i love my jagermeister :D


they are the ones that mean most to me. Lots of songs effect me in different ways, and i could add another 25-30 songs onto this list, but ive bored everyone enough with those ones me thinks!

GO THE POWER!
 
We would go on as though nothing was wrong
And hide from these days - we remained all alone
Staying in the same place, staying out the time
Touching from a distance, further all the time


Transmission - Joy Division.

To the centre of the city where all roads meet waiting for you
To the depths of the ocean where all hopes sank searching for you
Moving through the silence without motion waiting for you
In a room with a window in the corner I found truth

In the shadowplay, acting out your own death knowing no more,
As the assassins all grouped in four lines, dancing on the floor
And with cold steel, odour on their bodies, made a move to connect
I could only stare in disbelief as the crowds all left

I did everything, everything I wanted to
I let them use you for their own ends
To the centre of the city in the night, waiting for you
To the centre of the city in the night, waiting for you


Shadowplay - Joy Division

We always were the kind of people
To take it hard when things would go wrong
Little things would bother me
And little things would make you cry

And after all the confrontations
When it comes time for saying goodbye
All that I can wonder
Is what do I do with these flowers

And what do I do with my evenings
And what do you do with that ring
I'm gonna go now
No you can't hold me
Not with such a sentimental thing

So tell me why I'm feeling nothing
And tell me how you can't even cry
Little things are logical
But if there's a god above then
can it be that love was
Just another sentimental thing


Joe Jackson - Sentimental Thing

Dear god, hope you get the letter and...
I pray you can make it better down here
I don't mean a big reduction in the price of beer
But all the people that you made in your image
See them starving in the street
'Cause they don't get enough to eat from god
I can't believe in you

Dear god, sorry to disturb you but...
I feel that I should be heard loud and clear
We all need a big reduction in amount of tears
And all the people that you made in your image
See them fighting in the street
'Cause they can't make opinions meet about god
I can't believe in you

Did you make disease and the diamond blue?
Did you make mankind after we made you?
And the devil too!

Dear god don't know if you noticed but...
Your name is on a lot of quotes in this book
And us crazy humans wrote it, you should take a look
And all the people that you made in your image
still believing that junk is true
Well I know it ain't, and so do you
Dear god
I can't believe in
I don't believe

I won't believe in heaven or hell
No saints, no sinners, no devil as well
No pearly gates, no thorny crown
You're always letting us humans down
The wars you bring, the babes you drown
Those lost at sea and never found
And it's the same the whole world 'round
The hurt I see helps to compound
That father, son and holy ghost
Is just somebody's unholy hoax
And if you're up there you'll perceive
That my heart's here upon my sleeve
If there's one thing I don't believe in

It's you
Dear god


XTC - Dear God

and to finish on something a little more positive

I may not always love you
But long as there are stars above you
You never need to doubt it
I'll make you so sure about it

God only knows what I'd be without you

If you should ever leave me
Though life would still go on believe me
The world could show nothing to me
So what good would living do me

God only knows what I'd be without you


Beach Boys (a.k.a Brian Wilson) - God only knows.
 
And i love her but do you think she can see

When i tell her its the end for you and me

It was over ever since you went and shot me

Like a Harpoon, Like a Harpoon, Like a Harppon in my heart.
 
If I close my mind in fear
Please pry it open
If my face becomes sincere
Beware
When I start to come undone
Stitch me together
And if you see me strut
Remind me of what left this outlaw torn

Outlaw Torn - Metallica
 
Just listening to this today and it made me look forward to summer......

The Year Of Living Languorously by the Lucksmiths from the album "Why That Doesn't Surprise Me" on Candle Records, lyrics by Marty Donald

Darling roll the window down, I can't breathe,
And I want to feel the northerly down my sleeve,
I love a sunburnt elbow pointing to the sea,

And darling, can't you find us something on the radio?
A song to pass the time, sweet and slow,
Conversation was foresaken long ago,

It's getting worse,
You've hardly said a word,
Since you set eyes on the horizon,
But I've seen the other side of that ocean there,
And it can't compare,

Has it really been a year?
How did those days just disappear?

We held our breath across each bridge, till we were blue,
But I wonder if I wished the same as you,
Like a ten year old pretending,
Summer isn't really ending,

It's getting worse,
You've hardly said a word,
Since you set eyes on the horizon,
But I've seen the other side of that ocean there,
And it can't compare to this,
So I'll steal another kiss,
Before the sun goes down on this fibrotown,
And we give chase,
Like all those other days,
I suppose it's no surprise,
We drive, time flies,

Has it really been a year?
Where the hell do we go from here?
 
The Celibate Rifles – I Shoulda

I shoulda been a contender
I shoulda followed the rules
I shoulda married the girl next door
I shoulda not been a fool
I shoulda paid more attention
I shoulda listened in school

Got to reprioritise
Get that corporate style
Do an Anthony Robbins seminar
And meet my inner child
Then I’ll unleash the power within
And get that winning smile

I shoulda exercised daily
I shoulda brushed after meals
I shoulda gone to church Sunday
I shoula loosened my deals
I shoulda counted my blessings
I shoulda lodged an appeal

Got to reprioritise
Get that corporate style
Get the new Ikea catalogue
And some really bitchin’ tiles
Then I’ll unleash the power within
And get that winning smile

I shoulda reached my potential
I shoulda kicked some real ass
I shoulda gone into business
I shoulda been middle class
I shoulda read the instructions
I shoulda had me a plan
I shoulda made preparations
I shoulda act like a man
I shoulda triumphed regardless
I guess I shoulda began

Got to reprioritise
Get that corporate style
Do an Anthony Robbins seminar
And some really bitchin’ tiles
Then I’ll unleash the power within
And get that winning smile
 
right now it is drops of jupiter by train..... such good words

Now that she's back in the atmosphere
With drops of Jupiter in her hair, hey, hey
She acts like summer and walks like rain
Reminds me that there's time to change, hey, hey
Since the return from her stay on the moon
She listens like spring and she talks like June, hey, hey
Tell me did you sail across the sun
Did you make it to the Milky Way to see the lights all faded
And that heaven is overrated
Tell me, did you fall for a shooting star
One without a permanent scar
And did you miss me while you were looking for yourself out there
Now that she's back from that soul vacation
Tracing her way through the constellation, hey, hey
She checks out Mozart while she does tae-bo
Reminds me that there's room to grow, hey, hey
Now that she's back in the atmosphere
I'm afraid that she might think of me as plain ol' Jane
Told a story about a man who is too afraid to fly so he never did land
Tell me did the wind sweep you off your feet
Did you finally get the chance to dance along the light of day
And head back to the Milky Way
And tell me, did Venus blow your mind
Was it everything you wanted to find
And did you miss me while you were looking for yourself out there
Can you imagine no love, pride, deep-fried chicken
Your best friend always sticking up for you even when I know you're wrong
Can you imagine no first dance, freeze dried romance five-hour phone conversation
The best soy latte that you ever had . . . and me
Tell me did the wind sweep you off your feet
Did you finally get the chance to dance along the light of day
And head back toward the Milky Way

Dunno how anyone can go past Benny and Bjorn's...

Like a bang a boomer boomerang
Dum-be-dum-dum be-dum-be-dum-dum
Oh bang a boomer boomerang
Love is a tune you hum-de-hum-hum
By giving away, I think you'll learn
You'll get love in return
So bang a boomer boomerang is love
A boomer boomerang is love


:D
 
I am he as you are he as you are me and we are all together
See how they run Iike pigs from a gun, see how they fly, I'm crying

Sitting on a cornflake, waiting for the van to come
Corporation tee-shirt, stupid bloody Tuesday
Man, You beer naughty boy, you let your face grow long
I am the eggman, oh they are the eggmen, oh I am the walrus, goo goo g'joob

Mister city policeman sitting
Pretty little policemen in a row
See how they fly like Lucy in the sky, see how they run
I'm crying, I'm crying, I'm crying, I'm crying

Yellow matter custard, dripping from a dead dog's eye
Crabalocker fishwife, pornographic priestess
Boy you been a naughty girl you let your knickers down
I am the eggman, oh they are the eggmen, oh I am the walrus, goo goo g'joob

Sitting in an English garden waiting for the sun
If the sun don't come, you get a tan from standing in the English rain
I am the eggman, oh they are the eggmen, oh I am the walrus, goo goo g'joob

Expert textpert choking smokers, don't you think the joker laughs at you?
See how they smile like pigs in a sty, see how they snied, I'm crying

Semolina pilchards, climbing up the Eiffel Tower
Elementary penguin singing Hare Krishna man, you should have seen them kicking Edgar Allan Poe
I am the eggman, oh they are the eggmen, oh I am the walrus, goo goo g'joob
G'goo goo g'joob, goo goo g'joob, g'goo goo g'joob, goo

I am The Walrus - The Beatles.
 
I turned up in some harsh doomed city on another plane.
I couldn't believe the room I got, the guests I entertained.
I felt the dirty streets surround me,
Let the buzzing swarm confound me,
I gave money to ghosts, I insulted my hosts,
I could never get off, the stuff that spellbound me.

Tantalised- The Church (Heyday)

You get The Church or you don't.
 
***********************************************
"There's a world where I can go and tell my secrets to
In my room
In this world I lock out all my worries and my fears
In my room

Do my dreaming and my scheming lie awake and pray
Do my crying and my sighing laugh at yesterday.....

Now it's dark and I'm alone but I won't be afraid
In my room."

In My Room (Brian Wilson and Gary Usher) The Beach Boys

**********************************************
 
'The night was so young, and everything's still
The moon's shining bright on my windowsill
I think of her lips, it chills me inside
And then I think why does she have to hide

Is somebody gonna tell me why she has to hide?
She's passing it by, she won't even try to make this love go where it should.

The sky's turning grey, there's clouds overhead
I'm still not asleep in my bed
I think of her eyes and it makes me sigh
I think of her voice and it makes me cry

Is somebody gonna tell me why she has to lie?
She'd be so right to hold me tonight, love was made for her and I.

It's 3 o'clock, I go to my sink
I pour some milk, and I start to think
Is she asleep or is she awake and does she think of the love we could make

Wake up call me baby call me, tell me what's on your mind
I've got a car, and you're not too far, please let me come over to you.

The night was so young, and everything's still
The moon's shining bright on my windowsill
I think of her lips, it chills me inside
And then I think, why should she hide.........."

The Night Was So Young (Brian Wilson) 1977 The Beach Boys

Very poignant lyrics for me...........had an old boyfriend sing it to me...............:)

Well I never lived through the great depression
Sometimes I feel as though I did
And i don't have answers to every single question
But that's ok coz im just a kid

And it's not easy to get a handle of my life,
But I've tried it time and time again.

But I still cry just like a baby
And i answer back to feel a little free
And I still fly, even though i'm gonna fall
But I'm too far gone to let it get to me.

Well I don't have as many friends because
Im not as pretty as i was
i've kicked myself at times because i've lied
so i will have to learn to stand my ground
tell em i won't be around
move on over to your town and hide.


- From various Kasey Chambers songs.
 
Brandy - Best Friend

Whenever I'm down
I call on you my friend
A helping hand you lend
In my time of need
So I'm
I'm calling you now
Just to make it good
What else can I do
For you hear my plea

Friends may come and friends may go
But you should know that
That I've got your back
It's automatic
So never hesitate to call
Cause I'm your sister
And always for you
In love

I don't know what I'd ever do without you
From the beginning to the end
You've always been here right beside me
So I'll call you my best friend
Through the good times and the bad ones
Whether I lose or if I win
I know one thing that never changes
And that's you as my best friend

Whenever I'm down
With all that's going on
Is really going on
Just one of those days
And you
Say the right things
To keep me moving on
To keep me going strong
What else can I say?

Friends are there through thick and thin
And I've been told that
And I believe that
It's automatic
Call me when you need a friend
Cause I'm your sister
And always know that
I don't know

I don't know what I'd ever do without you
From the beginning to the end
You've always been here right beside me
So I'll call you my best friend
Through the good times and the bad ones
Whether I lose or if I win
I know one thing that never changes
And that's you as my best friend

I don't know what I'd ever do without you
From the beginning to the end
You've always been here right beside me
So I'll call you my best friend
Through the good times and the bad ones
Whether I lose or if I win
I know one thing that never changes
And that's you as my best friend

I'll be there for you
When you're going through
Things that you need me
You're close to me
My friend
You can count on me
Call me when you need me
Or can't take it anymore,

Cause I don't know what I'd ever do without you
From the beginning to the end
You've always been here right beside me
So I'll call you my best friend
Through the good times and the bad ones
Whether I lose or if I win
I know one thing that never changes
And that's you as my best friend
 
All of you people are quoting vague, meaningless rhymes. You haven't enountered true lyrical mastery until you've heard
WESLEY WILLIS


Batman got on my nerves
He was running me amok
He ridiculed me calling me a bum

I wupped Batman's ass
I wupped Batman's ass
I wupped Batman's ass
I wupped Batman's ass
I wupped Batman's ass
I wupped Batman's ass

Batman thought he was bad
He was a ****ing arseh*le in the first place
He got knocked to the floor

I wupped Batman's ass
I wupped Batman's ass
I wupped Batman's ass
I wupped Batman's ass
I wupped Batman's ass

Batman beat the hell out of me and knocked me to the floor
I got back up and knocked him to the floor
He was being such a jackoff

I wupped Batman's ass
I wupped Batman's ass
I wupped Batman's ass
I wupped Batman's ass
I wupped Batman's ass
I wupped Batman's ass
I wupped Batman's ass
I wupped Batman's ass
I wupped Batman's ass
I wupped Batman's ass
I wupped Batman's ass

You see? A true masterpiece; lyrics which reach down to the very core of your soul and leave you touched.
 
i hate repetitive music
i hate repetitive music
i hate repetitive music
i hate repetitive music

anyone tell me who its sung by????
 
ok well here are some that i have just found, they r by a band called City High and the song is called What would u do. The words have some kick in them.


Boys and girls wanna here a true story
Saturday night was at this real wild party
They had the liquor overflowin' the cup
About 5-6 strippers tryin' to work for a buck
Took one girl outside with me
Her name was Lonnie
She went to junior high with me
I said, "Why you up in there dancin' for cash?"
I guess a whole lot has changed since I seen you last
What would you do if your son is at home
Cryin' all alone on the bedroom floor
Cause he's hungry
And the only way to feed him
Is to sleep with a man for a little bit of money
And his daddy's gone
Somewhere smokin' rock now
In and out of lockdown
I ain't gotta job now
So for you this is just a good time
But for me, this is what I call life
Girl the only one with a baby
That's no excuse to be livin' all crazy
And then she looked me dead square in the eye
And said everyday I wake up hopin' to die
She said, fellow I know about pain cause
Me and my sister ran away so my daddy wouldn’t rape us
Before I was a teenager
I've done been through more **** you can't even relate to
(what would you do if)
Get up on my feet and let go of every excuse (What would you do if)
Cause I wouldn't want my baby to go through what I went through (What would you do if)
Get up on my feet and stop making tired excuses (What would you do if)
Girl if my mamma can do it, baby you can do it
