"I know someday you'll have a beautiful life, I know you'll be a star in someone else sky, but why, why can't it be mine?" - Pearl Jam, Black

all homeboys are dickheads by tism

I know his dad's abusive
And his mum prefers the daughter;
I know he's got an attention
Deficiency disorder;
He is culturally excluded
And genetically inbred:
But the reason he's a homeboy
Is because he's a dickhead.

We all support empowerment
And positive discrimination
When your class, your race, your age, your face
Determine your social station;
A baseball cap and a love of rap
Might need sympathy - yet, still,
Possibly a homeboy could be
A dickhead pure and simple.

"Know your enemy well enough
And you will pity them instead" -
In The Brothers Karamazov
That's what Dostoyevsky said;
And pity soon will turn to love
Is what Jesus Christ once knew:
They both changed their minds the day when
They met a homeboy crew.

thats a whole song though... isnt the point of the thread stand out lines that zap you, not just meaningful songs? Coz some songs have great lyrics, but no 1 line that stands out to me.

i think the entire song is important. it goes against political correctness and people are speaking their mind.

Red Hot Chili Peppers - my friends
i heard a little girl
and what she said was something beautiful
to give love no matter what
is what she said


Red Hot Chili Peppers - under the bridge
and i dont ever want to feel
like i did that day
take me to the place i love
take me all the way

The words to "Satisfy You" :

I'm the light when you can't see
I'm that air when you can't breathe
I'm that feeling when you can't leave
Some doubt, some believe, some lie, cheat, and deceive
So it's only you and me
When you weak, I'll make you strong, here's where you belong
I ain't perfect, but I promise I won't do you wrong
Keep you away from harm, my love is protected
I'll wrap you in my arms so you'll never feel neglected
I'll just make you aware of what we have is rare
In the moment of despair, I'm the courage when you're scared
Loyal, down for you, soon as I saw you
Wanted to be there cause I could hold it down for you
Be around for you, plant seeds in the soil
Make love all night, bending bed coils
You're a queen, therefore I treat you royal
This is all for you, cause I simply adore you


Also, "I'd Do Anything" :

I'd do anything
Just to hold you in my arms
To try to make you laugh
Somehow I can't
Put you in the past
I'd do anything
Just to fall asleep with you
Will you remember me?
Cause I know I won't forget you

I close my eyes
And all I see is you
I close my eyes
I try to sleep
I can't forget you
And I'd do anything for you


What can I say? I'm a romantic at heart :rolleyes: These 2 songs may be shallow to those who are not/never have been in love, but they remind me of someone that I hold so dear, they mean more to me than any song ever could.
For those who are more realistically inclined when it comes to the passionate things in their lives, this is another favourite of mine:

ELP: "Farewell to Arms"

In this our life on earth
Another dawn we face
Is this the moment of truth
For the whole human race
Is that the last man down
Is that the last life laid to waste
We must find in our hearts
Each and every dream we've misplaced
Before heaven cries tears
On the mountains we climb

Farewell to arms
Rest in peace
May the reign of freedom be released
Farewell to arms
We just can't walk away
We're all sharing this earth at the end of the day

So when the cold winds bite
And when the mad dogs speak
However dark is your night
Just keep turning your cheek
Cause when the last shot's fired
It is then the world will be free
And still we are asking
Just how long it will be
Though we're blown by the crosswinds
We stand like a tree

Down this road we've wandered for so many years
With every step we take
We can tear down all frontiers, make no mistake

cummon noobs! Get some Metallica happening!

!!ONE!!

Now the World Is Gone I'm Just One
Oh God,help
Me Hold My Breath as I Wish for Death
Oh Please God Help Me

Darkness

Imprisoning Me
All That I See
Absolute Horror
I Cannot Live
I Cannot Die
Trapped in Myself
Body My Holding Cell

Then some tunes from The Queen Of The Dammed!

Forsaken- David Draiman-

You see I cannot be forsaken
Because I’m not the only one
We walk amongst you
Feeding, raping
Must we hide from everyone

I’m over it
Why can’t we be together embrace it?
Sleeping so long Taking off the mask
At last I see
 

fine ambiguity

Ok so had to give another one... It's so corny but I like it :p

Hey, don't write yourself off yet.
It's only in your head you feel left out or looked down on.
Just try your best, try everything you can.
And don't you worry what they tell themselves when you're away.
It just takes some time, little girl you're in the middle of the ride.
Everything will be just fine, everything will be alright.

AND from the same band (Jimmy Eat World)

I'm not alone 'cos the TV's on
I'm not crazy 'cos I take the right pills everyday
