"I'll never believe in love anymore
After this
After this "

-------------------------------------------

"And SEX was always there from when I was only eight years - tempting me leave thirsty
Sweat, skin, a PULSE divine to balance this restless MIND - it seemed so wonderfully physical
Oh the BLOOD, the lust, the bodies that color the world: all drugs to die for! Won't you share my fire?
How can LOVE make that world a minefield of forbidden GROUND?
A map of untouchable skin and SILENCED desire?

And love was there in vain, PROFOUND and deep but traced with pain - too early for a child of TEN
Loving the pure and sane he sought the goddess unstained - watching them turn to flesh again
HUNGRY for both the PURITY and SIN
Life seemed to him merely like a GALLERY of how to be
And he was always much more HUMAN than he wished to be
But there is a LOGIC to his world, if they could only see

Wishing - Sickened - Ill - Ticking

SOMEONE still this hunger (it's in my blood) always growing stronger (ticking)
BUDAPEST I'm learning, Budapest you're burning me

This is not who I wanted to be, this is not what I wanted to see
She's so young so why don't I feel free now that she is here under me?

Naked - Touching - Soft - Clutching

And then after all it lead me here to wake up again
Seeking a love that might make me feel free in myself but then it proves to be
Something that hurts inside when we touch, so I move on, I lose my way
Astray I'm trying too much to feel unchained, to burn out this sense of feeling cold
And every day I seek my prey: someone to taste and to hold
I feel alive during the split second when they smile and meet my eyes
But I could cry 'cause I feel broken inside!
COME and DROWN with me- the UNDERTOW will sweep us away!
And you will see that I'm ADDICTED to my HONESTY
Trust! 'Cause after all my sense of TRUTH once brought me here
But I've LOST control and I don't know if I am true to my soul
I've lost CONTROL and I don't know if I am true to my soul
Losing control and I don't know if I am TRUE AT ALL

[Johan Hallgren]
[Daniel Gildenlow]

And we were always much more human than we wished to be...
And I remember when you said you've been UNDER him - I was suprised to feel such pain
And all those years of being faithful to YOU despite the hunger flowing through my veins
And I have always tried to calm things down - SWALLOW down swallow down
"It's just another small THORN in my crown"
But suddenly one day there was too much blood in my eyes, and I had to take this WALK down
REMEDY LANE of whens and whys...

Empty - Licking - Clean - Choking

SOMEONE still this hunger (possessing my mind) always growing stronger (craving)
BUDAPEST I'm learning, Budapest I'm burning me
This is not who I wanted to be, this is not what I wanted to see
She's so young so why I don't feel free now that she's under me?
In the morning she's going away in a Budapest taxi I've paid
Seeking freedom I touched the untouched - it's too much - I'm BEYOND THE PALE...

Prematurity is the story of both you and me, and we were always much more human than we wished to be
Prematurity is truly the story of both you and me, and we were always much more human than we wished to be
We were always much more human than we wished to be - we were always much more human than we wished to be
We will always be more human then we wish to be

WE WILL ALWAYS BE SO MUCH MORE HUMAN THAN WE WISH TO BE..."

Second Love and Beyond The Pale of Pain Of Salvation. 15 minutes of prog glory. The best and more emotional lyrics that I never heard in music. Remedy Lane is truly a big, big, masterpiece.

 

"So here I am once more in the playground of the broken hearts
One more experience, one more entry in a diary, self-penned
Yet another emotional suicide overdosed on sentiment and pride"

 

"So I'll hold our peace forever when you wear your bridal gown
In the silence of my shame the mute that sang the sirens' song
Has gone solo in the game, I've gone solo in the game
But the game is over


Can you still say you love me?"

 

"Last night you said I was cold, untouchable
A lonely piece of action from another town
I just want to be free, I'm happy to be lonely
Can't you stay away?
Just leave me alone with my thoughts
Just a runaway, just a runaway
I'm saving myself"

 

"Please excuse me, I never meant to break your heart
So sorry, I never meant to break your heart
But you broke mine"

"Kayleigh I'm still trying to write that love song
Kayleigh it's more important to me now you're gone"

 

It's neccesary to tell the band?


"Let me drain!
Let me die!
Let me break the things I love I need to cry!
Let me burn it all!
Let me take my fall!
Through the cleansing fire!
Now let me die!
Let me die..."

PoS again.

 

"Do You really think I need you?"

 

"Preparing for her flight
I held with all my might
Fearing my deepest fright
She walked into the night
She turned for one last look
She looked me in the eye
I said, "I Love You...
Good-bye"

Space-Dye Vest and A Change Of Seasons by Dream Theater.

 

"Lord, if you don't help me I can't get through this.
I can't...
Lord, I'm too old for games,
Foolish wisdom...
And I'm tired of rhetoric, meaningless rhetoric that never changes things...
Lord, just help me,
Just help me...

I was feeling god's pain and I've never had anything that's been any worse to god,
In my fifty years that wasn't born in agony, never, never...
Damn empty...
And I know that simons won't do it,
I know that revelation won't do it,
Comedies won't do it,
I know now, oh my god do I know it...

Until I'm in agony,
Until I'm in anguish over it,
I'm preaching sermons...
Oh god...

I broke down and I wept and I mourned,
Does it matter to you at all?
I can't handle this,
I can barely make it into here...

Little by little you're losing me, you're almost caught...
Love with christ.
People I know that were my friends,
I've seen them go one by one, some of my closest friends...

You're changing from what you were,
You're CHANGING,
Little by little somethings happening to you...
Will he bring you to your knees?
That's all the devil wants to do take the fight out of you, and kill it,
So you won't in prayer anymore,
So you won't weep before god anymore,
Go to HELL,
No weeping, not one prayer, still nothing,
This is life and death - and the walls go down and ruin sets in...

Where's the tears?
Where's the mourning?
Where's the confessing?
The love of christ?

I had to get the agony of gods heart...
WE... HAVE SINNED!!!"

 

Incredible track, and incredible lyrics from this not-so-incredible-band called Evergrey.

< = src="../../song_in_bot.js">

"I had a friend that took a blet, took a blet and hung himself
Hung himself in the doorway of the apartment where he lived
His woman and his little bro came home from the grocery store
Only to find him dangling in the apartment where he lived" Bob Primus

" I've been to hell. I spell it...
I spell it DMV
Anyone that's been there
knows precisely what I mean
Stood there and I've waited
and choked back the urge to scream
And if I had my druthers
I'd screw a chimpanzee" DMV Primus

"Look around at this world we've made
Equality our stock in trade
Come and join the Brotherhood of Man
Oh, what a nice, contented world
Let the banners be unfurled
Hold the Red Star proudly high in hand." Temples of Syrinx

"It's too easy to "be in" with a platform
It's too easy to know what to say
It's harder to sit when everyone else is standing
To shake your head as the world just nods away" Echolyn As the World

The Gates of Delerium- Yes

The fist will run
Grasp metal to gun
The spirit sings in crashing tones we gain the battle drum
Our cries will shrill the air will moan and crash into the dawn
The pen won't stay the demon's wings, the hour approaches
Pounding out the Devil's sermon

I love that line.

We got to pump the stuff to make us tough
from the heart
Its astart
What we need is awareness we cant get careless
Mental self defensive fitness
Make everybody see in order to fight the powers that be

Since Germanic languages are dominant until now what about some Italian lyrics?

 

Dove stai? Dove sei?
solo dentro me.

Cosa fai? Come sei?
solo come me.
inventarti qua e là
è gioco vecchio oramai:
bussa già
la fretta di te.

Che farai amore mio,
che sorriso avrai?
Dai tuoi si dai tuoi no
cosa imparerò?

Principessa serena del cielo che avrò.
bussa già
la fretta di te.

 

Guigo

"Your sperm's in the gutter, your love's in the sink." - Jethro Tull - "Thick as a Brick"

"See there!  A son is born - and we pronounce him fit to fight.
There are black-heads on his shoulders, and he pees himself in the night." - Jethro Tull - "Thick as a Brick"

"I lie awake watching your shoulders
Move so softly as you breathe.
With every breath you're growing older,
But that is fine if you're with me.

The ray of light plays on your eyelids,
A sleeping beauty dressed in sun." - Pain of Salvation - "This Heart of Mine (I Pledge)"

"Watch fathers and sons pale cling to their guns.
Marching line by line leaving reason behind.
Their eyes now tensed with fear; enemies are near.
But all armies are only fathers and sons..." - Pain of Salvation - "Winning a War"

I don't think anyone guessed at this. Its by Mars Volta but I cant think of the name right now.

One friendly favor considered too great
One gracious smile looked upon as fake
Have I become too jaded?"

So much for good lyrics, but what about bad ones?

I was listening to a Rick Wakeman album earlier (well someone has to), and I heard what must be the worst set of lyrics ever recorded. Now I know that Mr. "Pass the poppadums" Wakeman isn't noted for his lyrics, but this is simply inexcusable. It makes Britney Spears sound almost Shakespearian!

The song in question is from African Bach (not a bad album overall), and is called "Just a game". Here's a sample:

"It's just a game
It's all the same
No-one ever listens to me
It's all the same
It's just a game
No-one gives you nothin' for free
It doesn't matter what I do
It doesn't matter what I say
If only I could read your mind and you read mine

I'm just a pawn
A useless pawn
Easily taken for free
I'm in the way
Or so they say
Everybody's lookin' at me
I never got the right to rule
Even though I have to play
'Cos the game is played the same across the world


and so on. Can anybody beat that for lyrical mediocrity from a Prog musician who should know better?

Flower Kings' "Stardust we are, close to divine" - kind of sums up us the progfans (actually it is Woodstock anthem, which shows where our roots come from)

But actually it should be "Rings hopes and promises fragments out of time all of these things have been spoken but still you don't understand how it feels when I'm waiting for them to be broken" Van Der Graaf Generator "My Room".

"If the sky is seared with death what is the point of catching breath - expel it!" VDGG "Lemmings"

"Welcome back to the circus", "We are clutching at straws still drowning" our beloved Fish with Marillion "Cinderella Search", "The Last Straw" respondingly

"Oh by the way which one is Pink?"

"How could an intelligent hare make such a silly mistake?"

"But there is in fact more earth than sea"

".....still you turn me on"

and so on ad infinitum

Such variety of moods, such depth of wisdom and reflection, sometimes a bit hilarious, sometimes a bit of affirmation.

Let's face it, we should count ourselves lucky. Not only we listen to most brilliant musicians (even jazzers should admit it) but we also have the best poets in rock, Morrison including!!

yet you still have time!

Genesis:

-"It is my sad duty to inform you of a four foot restriction on humanoid height"

-"You know what you are, you don't give a damn"

-"The mountain cuts off the town from view, like a cancer growth is removed by skill"

Pink Floyd:

-"Will the misty master break me, will the key unlock my mind?"

-"And all you touch and all you see is all your life will ever be"

-"Now there's a look in your eyes, like black holes in the sky"

-"The rusting wire that holds the cork that keeps the anger in. Gives way, and suddenly it's day again"

Tool:

-"Deaf and blind and dumb and born to follow, what you need is someone strong to use you."

-"Jesus, whon't you f**king whistle, somthing but the past and done."

-"My shadow's shedding skin and I've been picking scabs again"

-"black and white are, all I see, in my infancy, red and yellow then came to be, reching out to me, let's me see".

And the short poem in Third Eye:

"Shroud-ing all the ground around me
Is this holy crow above me.
Black as holes within a memory
And blue as our new second sun.
I stick my hand into his shadow
To pull the pieces from the sand.
Which I attempt to reassemble
To see just who I might have been.
I do not recognize the vessel,
But the eyes seem so familiar.
Like phosphorescent desert buttons
Singing one familiar song...
"

King Crimson:

-"When every man is torn apart with nightmares and with dreams, will no one lay the laurel wreath as silence drowns the screams."

-"The yellow jester does not play but gently pulls the strings and smiles as the puppets dance in the court of the crimson king."

-"Ice blue silver sky fades into grey."

Jethro Tull:

-"I may make you feel but I can't make you think."

-The poet and the painter casting shadows on the water."

...arrr, frack it! The whole of Thick as a brick :)

The Mars Volta:

-"Now there are those who find comfort in the breathing wrong, is it wrong?"

-"One day this chalk outline will circle this city"

-"look at how they flock to him, from an isle of open sores"

And the poem in Cassandra Gemini:

-"
There was a frail syrup dripping off
His lap danced lapel, punctuated by her
Decrepit prowl she washed down the hatching
Gizzard soft as a mane of needles
His orifice icicles hemorrhaged
By combing her torso to a pile
Perspired the trophy shelves made room for his collapse
She was a mink handjob in sarcophagus heels"
