What song lyrics do you think are "deep" or really meaningful?

Funk Soul Brother

If my girlfriend and I had a theme song, “Ordinary People” by John Legend would definitely be it. After 5 years together, the first verse and the chorus are what we need to be reminded of when going through rough patches:

Girl I’m in love with you
But this ain’t the honeymoon,
pass the infatuation phase….
We’re right in the thick of love,
At times we get sick of love,
It seems like we argue every day…

I know I misbehaved,
And you made your mistakes,
And we both still got room left to grow….
And though love sometimes hurts,
I still put you first,
And we’ll make this thing work,
But I think we should take it slowww

We’re just ordinary people
We don’t know which way to go..
Cause we’re ordinary people
Maybe we should take it slow..

Stronger than reason,
Stronger than life,
The only truth I know,
Is the look in your eyes.

Just like a car crash,
Just like a knife,
My favorite weapon,
Is the look in your eyes.

Cutting my face,
And walking on splinters,
I lost my soul.

To the look in your eyes.

I’ve got a bike
You can ride it
If you like
It’s got
a basket
a bell that rings
and things to make it look good.

I’d give it to you if I could
But I borrowed it.

Lyrical. Genius. Seriously, though. I love Floyd.

the single best heavy metal song evar:

Nothing breeds more contempt for this world than the memories now formed.
Every moment a new seed is grown to no reason, the trouble unfolds.
For the trials of today, I’m no jury. Really don’t care how you feel.
The pleasant notion of miraculous change drifts into multiple jeers…jeers…jeers

You want the good life, you break your back.
You snap your fingers, you snap your neck.

Seconds drip through my hands, washed of moments unborn.
All the spaces between bleed, a tribute to a sacrament never explored.
A message to the forces- I have no pity, don’t know how thankful to feel.
Expectations of my daily bread gives me the hunger to steal.

You want the good life, you break your back.
You snap your fingers, You snap your neck.

Snap your fingers, snap your neck.
Snap your fingers, snap your neck.
Snap your fingers, snap your neck.
Snap your fingers, snap your neck.

people give artist and song title please! Reason for me asking is so I can listen to them! Thanks!

My five year relationship just ended, horribly. So right now I’m drawn to Blue on Black by Kenny Wayne Shepherd:

Night
Falls
I’m alone
Skin
Yeah, chilled me to the bone
You, turned and you ran,
Oh yeah
Oh, slipped right from my hand

Hey
Blue on black,
Tears on a river
Push on a shove,
It don’t mean much
Joker on Jack
Match on a fire
Cold on ice
It’s a dead man’s touch.
Whisper on a scream,
Doesn’t change a thing
Don’t bring you back
Blue on black
Oh Yeah
Blue on Black

Blind, oh,
Now I see
Truth, lies,
And in between.
Wrong,
Can’t be undone
Oh Slipped,
From the tip of your tongue

Hey
Blue on black,
Tears on a river
Push on a shove,
It don’t mean much
Joker on Jack
Match on a fire
Cold on ice
It’s a dead man’s touch.
Whisper on a scream,
Doesn’t change a thing
Doesn’t bring you back
Yeah
Blue on black
Oh, blue on black.

Blue on black,
Tears on a river
Push on a shove,
It don’t mean much
Joker on Jack
Match on a fire
Cold on ice
It’s a dead man’s touch.
Whisper on a scream,
Doesn’t change a thing
Don’t bring you back
Blue on black
Oh yeah
Blue on Black

Yeah
Blue on black,
Tears on a river
Push on a shove,
It don’t mean much
Joker on Jack
Match on a fire
Cold on ice
It’s a dead man’s touch.
Whisper on a scream,
Doesn’t change a thing
Doesn’t bring you back
Blue on black
Oh
Blue on black
Oh
Blue on black
Oh
Blue on black

And Strange by Tori Amos:

Strange
Thought I knew you well
Thought I had read the sky
Thought I had read a change
in your eyes
so strange
Woke up to a world
that I am not a part
except when I can play
its stranger

After all
what were you really
looking for
and I wonder
when will I learn
Blue isn’t red
everybody knows this
and I wonder
when will I learn
when will I learn
guess I was in Deeper than
I thought I was
if I have enough love
for the both of us

“just stay” you say
“we’ll build a nest”
so I left my Life
Tried on your friends
Tried on your opinions
So when the Bridges froze
and you did not come home
I put our snowflake under a microscope

After all
what was I really
looking for
and I wonder
when will I learn
Maybe my wish knew better
than I did
and I wonder
when will I learn
when will I learn
guess I was in Deeper than
I thought I was
if I have enough love
for the both of us

so strange
now I’m finally in
the Party has begun
it’s not like I can’t
feel you still
but strange
what I will leave behind
you call me one more time
but now I must be leaving

The lyrics alone don’t do either of the songs justice. The music is a huge reason I love both of them.

Look at me
Look at me
Driving and I won’t stop
And it feels so good to be
Alive and on top
My reach is global
My tower secure
My cause is noble
My power is pure
I can hand out a million vaccinations
Or let’em all die from exasperation
Have’em all healed from their lacerations
Or have’em all killed by assassination
I can make anybody go to prison
Just because I don’t like ‘em
And I can do anything with no permission
I have it all under my command
Because I can guide a missile by satellite
By satellite
””
And I can hit a target through a telescope
Through a telescope
””
And I can end the planet in a holocaust
In a holocaust
””
I can ride my bike with no handlebars

We have the power to do anything we set our minds to, the question is, how are we going to use this power?

O’ What a Beautiful World

it’s my life by Bon Jovi, you can’t get any better than that for a monday morning

Mother, mother
There’s too many of you crying
Brother, brother, brother
There’s far too many of you dying
You know we’ve got to find a way
To bring some lovin’ here today – Ya

Father, father
We don’t need to escalate
You see, war is not the answer
For only love can conquer hate
You know we’ve got to find a way
To bring some lovin’ here today

Marvin Gaye
Whats Going On

You are the wind beneath my wings.

I close both locks below the window.
I close both blinds and turn away.
Sometimes solutions aren’t so simple.
Sometimes goodbye’s the only way.

And the sun will set for you,
The sun will set for you.
And the shadow of the day,
Will embrace the world in grey,
And the sun will set for you.

Pink cards and flowers on your window,
Your friends all plead for you to stay.
Sometimes beginnings aren’t so simple.
Sometimes goodbye’s the only way.

And the sun will set for you,
The sun will set for you.
And the shadow of the day,
Will embrace the world in grey,
And the sun will set for you.

And the shadow of the day,
Will embrace the world in grey,
And the sun will set for you.

[Guitar solo]

And the shadow of the day,
Will embrace the world in grey,
And the sun will set for you.

“Shadow of the Day” by Linkin Park

Cult of Personality by Living Colour

rotwang, is that Ministry?

yep, “Stigmata”. not as good a song as the lyrics are good, imho, but still.

At Last by Etta James

Thou Shalt always Kill
Letter from God to Man
Angles
Waiting for the Beat to Kick In

Angles and Waiting for the Beat to Kick In both tell awesome stories, Letter from God to Man is well that exactly, and Thou Shalt always kill is plain awesome.

Just like a star across my sky,
Just like an angel off the page,
You have appeared to my life,
Feel like I’ll never be the same,
Just like a song in my heart,
Just like oil on my hands,
Honour to love you

Still I wonder why it is,
I don’t argue like this,
With anyone but you,
We do it all the time,
Blowing out my mind,

You’ve got this look I can’t describe,
You make me feel like I’m alive,
When everything else is au fait,
Without a doubt you’re on my side,
Heaven has been away too long,
Can’t find the words to write this song,
Oh…
Your love,

Still I wonder why it is,
I don’t argue like this,
With anyone but you,
We do it all the time,
Blowing out my mind,

Now I have come to understand,
The way it is,
It’s not a secret anymore,
‘cause we’ve been through that before,
From tonight I know that you’re the only one,
I’ve been confused and in the dark,
Now I understand,

I wonder why it is,
I don’t argue like this,
With anyone but you,
I wonder why it is,
I wont let my guard down,
For anyone but you
We do it all the time,
Blowing out my mind,

Just like a star across my sky,
Just like an angel off the page,
You have appeared to my life,
Feel like I’ll never be the same,
Just like a song in my heart,
Just like oil on my hands

Lyrics Title : Colonized Mind
Music Genre : Pop Rock

Wanna talk about it,
A colonized Mind

Upload, the evolution principle
You see a rock on the shore and say
“It’s always been there”

Download, no responsibility
Do what you want, nobody cares

Upload, the master race idea
Genetically disposed to rule the world

Download, future full of isolated
Full of isolated, boys and girls

Upload, the 2 party system
The lesser of 2 dangers,
Illusion of choice

Download, their form of fascism
Nothing really ever changes
You never had a voice

~guitar solo~

Listen to me one time :

If you look, you’re sure gonna find
Throughout mankind’s history
A Colonized Mind

The one in power makes law
Under which the colonized fall
Without God, it’s just the blind leading the blind

Upload, a joint venture record deal
It’s just another way another man can still steal
While he’s sticking you with the bill

Download, a temporary acquisition
of fleeting fame and fortune
Nothing to leave in your will
Hey hey hey hey

~guitar solo~

Upload, a child with no father
Download, no respect for authority
Upload, a child with no mother
Download, a hard time showing love

If you look, you’re sure gonna find
Throughout mankind’s history
A Colonized Mind
The one in power makes law
Under which the colonized fall
Without God, it’s just the blind leading the blind.

Before my best friend died, this song made me cry. Now, I can barely listen to it:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OD05Pvzk7Go

In my hands
A legacy of memories
I can hear you say my name
I can almost see your smile
Feel the warmth of your embrace
But there is nothing but silence now
Around the one I loved
Is this our farewell?

Sweet darling, you worry too much, my child
See the sadness in your eyes
You are not alone in life
Although you might think that you are

Never thought
This day would come so soon
We had no time to say goodbye
How can the world just carry on?
I feel so lost when you are not at my side
But there is nothing but silence now
Around the one I loved
Is this our farewell?

Sweet darling, you worry too much, my child
See the sadness in your eyes
You are not alone in life
Although you might think that you are

So sorry your world is tumbling down
I’ll watch you through these nights
Rest your head and go to sleep
Because my child, this is not our farewell.
This is not our farewell.

-Within Temptation
