Answer 1

i like the lyrics from the scientist by coldplay



Come up to meet you, tell you I'm sorry

You don't know how lovely you are



I had to find you

Tell you I need you

Tell you I've set you apart



Tell me your secrets

And ask me your questions

Oh, let's go back to the start



Running in circles

Coming up tails

Heads on the science apart



Nobody said it was easy

It's such a shame for us to part

Nobody said it was easy

No one ever said it would be this hard



Oh take me back to the start



I was just guessing

At numbers and figures

Pulling the puzzles apart



Questions of science

Science and progress

Do not speak as loud as my heart



Oh tell me you love me

Come back and haunt me

Oh and I rush to the start



Running in circles

Chasing our tails

Coming back as we are



Nobody said it was easy

Oh, it's such a shame for us to part

Nobody said it was easy

No one ever said it would be so hard



I’m going back to the start







i also like sweetalk by the killer, the words set images in my head

Lift me up on my honor

Take me over this spell

Get this weight off my shoulder

I've carried it well

Loose these shackles of pressure

Shake me out of these chains

Lead me not to temptation



Hold my hand harder

Ease my mind

Roll down the smoke-screen

Open the sky



Let me fly

Man I need a release from this troublesome mind (troubles of mine?)

Fix my feet when they're stumblin'

And well you know it hurts sometimes

You know it's gonna bleed sometimes



Dig me out from this thorn tree

Help me bury my shame

Keep my eyes from the fire

They can't handle the flame

Race cried out for my brothers

But most of them failed

I carried it well



Let me fly

Man I need a release from this troublesome mind (troubles of mine?)

Fix my feet when they're stumblin'

I guess you know it hurts sometimes

You know it's gonna bleed sometimes

Now hold on



I'm not lookin' for sweet talk

I'm lookin' for time

Top a tower and sleep walk

Brother 'cause it hurts sometimes

You know it's gonna bleed sometimes

Hold on



You know it's gonna hurt sometimes

When you call on me, hold on



Hold on

Hold on



I’m gonna fly that symphony home and make it mine

Let his resonance light my way

See all these pessimistic sufferers

Tend to drag me down

So I could use it to shelter what good I've found

Answer 2

its all a complete matter of opinion. Some of the lyrics to old opera songs are completely amazing as well.



If you mean lyrics as in poetry it has to be some of the more concious hip hop, because they deseign their songs for lyrical depth. Using metaphor and similie. But then again, artists like Jethro Tull can sound like their doing that and really say nothing what so ever.



It all depends on who you are and what you think is meaningful.

Answer 3

Nine Inch Nails - The Becoming





I beat my machine it's a part of me it's inside of me

I'm stuck in this dream it's changing me I am becoming

the me that you know he had some second thoughts

he's covered with scabs and he is broken and sore

the me that you know doesn't come around much

that part of me isn't here anymore

all pain disappears it's the nature of my circuitry

drowns out all I hear there's no escape from this my new consciousness

the me that you know used to have feelings

but the blood has stopped pumping and he's left to decay

the me that you know is now made up of wires

and even when I'm right with you I'm so far away

I can try to get away but I’ve strapped myself in

I can try to scratch away the sound in my ears

I can see it killing away all my bad parts

I don't want to listen but it's all too clear



hiding backwards inside of me I feel so unafraid

Annie, hold a little tighter I might just slip away



it won't give up it wants me dead

goddamn this noise inside my head

Answer 4

I can't pick! I like most of the lyrics by the band Evanescence, though.

Answer 5

DOWNHERE LYRICS – How Many Kings



Follow the star to a place unexpected

Would you believe after all we’ve projected

A child in a manger



Lowly and small, the weakest of all

Unlikeliness hero, wrapped in his mothers shawl

Just a child

Is this who we’ve waited for?



Cause how many kings, stepped down from their thrones?

How many lords have abandoned their homes?

How many greats have become the least for me?

How many Gods have poured out their hearts

To romance a world that has torn all apart?

How many fathers gave up their sons for me?



Bringing our gifts for the newborn savior

All that we have whether costly or meek

Because we believe

Gold for his honor and frankincense for his pleasure

And myrrh for the cross he’ll suffer

Do you believe, is this who we’ve waited for?

It’s who we’ve waited for



How many kings, stepped down from their thrones?

How many lords have abandoned their homes?

How many greats have become the least for me?

How many Gods have poured out their hearts

To romance a world that has torn all apart?

How many fathers gave up their sons for me?

Only one did that for me



All for me

All for you

All for me

All for you

Answer 6

Betrayed by avenged sevenfold in memory to Dimebag Darell



Passion in my eyes, I lived it everyday, but how could you go throw it all away?

In my dreams it's me and you, it's there I saw it all come true

As time went by faith in you grew, so one thing's left for me to do



I feel it burn inside, burn like the rising sun

Lifted into the sky, took the only thing I loved

I know after tonight all your power crumbles in my arms

So don't worry, I'll be fine, when my life ends, I'll leave this scar



When I fell down, I needed you there

Every note and every word seems so hard to take

Finally, In destiny



A smoking gun in your hand, now don't you realize what you've done

Put a bullet in his back, your hero since you were so young

How could you kill the man who brought salvation through your pain

He must mean everything to end it all this shameful way



Passion in my eyes, I lived it everyday, but how could you go throw it all away?

In my dreams it's me and you, it's there I saw it all come true

As time went by faith in you grew, so one thing's left for me to do



I started here so young and helped you get along

Just did it for the love, and people healed through us

Don't live you life in vain, don't take it out on me

You're cracked, so just remember, I'm not your enemy

I don't deserve to fall this way, by a man who felt betrayed



I felt so down now you're around to rescue me

Every note and every word I'm listening

Sometimes problems seem too deep to take

Sometimes I cry thinking my future looks so bleak

Finally, together we were destined, I know what's best for us in the end

Someone hear me, someone stop me, someone listen, why aren't you listening?



Passion in my eyes, I lived it everyday, but how could you go throw it all away?

In my dreams it's me and you, it's there I saw it all come true

As time went by faith in you grew, so one thing's left for me to do (finish you)

Answer 8

W- Deboko Seventeen http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gm9dIJ7xWN0



Rather than weird kindness

I prefer passionate dreams

Even if you have to be forceful sometimes

Invite me out



Bumpy seventeen

I act

on the contrary to what I feel

I do, I do, I do



If you like me, say you like me honestly

On nights when you want to hug me, do that

I want to accept your feelings

That pure heart



It's not impossible, but I say it's "impossible"

For some reason, I deny it in one moment

My body cowers meaninglessly

Why?



I'm sorry, my darling



If love is gonna cool down

Tell me quickly



I don't need sympathy

I'm fine



Bumpy seventeen

I don't want to throw it away

But I put on a show of courage

I do, I do, I do



If you like me, show that you like me in your attitude

Keep on kissing me until morning

I want to hear your heartbeat

That pure heart



Always and forever, I'll like you

I can't get the words out, I just might cry!

Meaninglessly, meaninglessly, I hang my head

Why?



I'm sorry, my darling



I do, I do, I do, I do



If you like me, show that you like me in your attitude

Keep on kissing me until morning

I want to hear your heartbeat

That pure heart



Always and forever, I'll like you

I can't get the words out, I just might cry!

Meaninglessly, meaninglessly, I hang my head

Why?



I'm sorry, my darling

Answer 10

Ever The Same- Rob Thomas







We were drawn from the weeds

We were brave like soldiers

Falling down under the pale moonlight

You were holding to me

Like a someone broken

And I couldn't tell you but I'm telling you now



Just let me hold you while you're falling apart

Just let me hold you so we both fall down



Fall on me

Tell me everything you want me to be

Forever with you forever in me

Ever the same



We would stand in the wind

We were free like water

Flowing down

Under the warmth of the sun

Now it's cold and we're scared

And we've both been shaken

Look at us

Man, this doesn't need to be the end



Just let me hold you while you're falling apart

Just let me hold you so we both fall down



Fall on me tell me everything you want me to be

Forever with you

Forever in me

Ever the same

Call on me

I'll be there for you and you'll be there for me

Forever it's you

Forever in me

Ever the same



You may need me there

To carry all your weight

But you're no burden I assure

You tide me over

With a warmth I'll not forget

But I can only give you love



Return To Pooh Corner-Kenny Loggins



Christopher Robin and I walked along

Under branches lit up by the moon

Posing our questions to Owl and Eeyore

As our days disappeared all too soon

But Ive wandered much further today than I should

And I cant seem to find my way Back to the Wood



So help me if you can Ive got to get

Back to the House At Pooh Corner by one

You'd be surprised theres so much to be done

Count all the bees in the hive

Chase all the clouds from the sky

Back to the days of Christopher Robin and Pooh



Winnie the Pooh doesnt know what to do

Got a honey jar stuck on his nose

He came to me asking help and advice

And from here no one knows where he goes

So I sent him to ask of the Owl if hes there

How to loosen a jar from the nose of a bear



Help me if you can Ive got to get

Back to the House At Pooh Corner by one

Youd be surprised theres so much to be done

Count all the bees in the hive

Chase all the clouds from the sky

Back to the days of Christopher Robin and Pooh



Its hard to explain how a few precious things

Seem to follow throughout all our lives

After alls said and done I was watching my son

Sleeping there with my bear by his side

So I tucked him in, I kissed him and as I was going

I swear that old bear whispered, Boy, welcome home



Believe me if you can I've finally come

Back to the House at Pooh Corner by one

What do you know theres so much to be done

Count all the bees in the hive

Chase all the clouds from the sky

Back to the days of Christopher Robin

Back to the ways of Christopher Robin

Back to the days of Pooh

Answer 12

nas - NY state of mind



[Intro: Nas]

Yeah yeah, aiyyo black it's time (word?)

(Word, it's time *****?)

Yeah, it's time man (aight *****, begin)

Yeah, straight out the ****** dungeons of rap

Where fake ****** don't make it back

I don't know how to start this ****, yo, now



[Verse One: Nas]

Rappers I monkey flip 'em with the funky rhythm I be kickin

Musician, inflictin composition

of pain I'm like Scarface sniffin cocaine

Holdin a M-16, see with the pen I'm extreme, now

Bulletholes left in my peepholes

I'm suited up in street clothes

Hand me a nine and I'll defeat foes

Y'all know my steelo with or without the airplay

I keep some E&J, sittin bent up in the stairway

Or either on the corner bettin Grants with the celo champs

Laughin at baseheads, tryin to sell some broken amps

G-Packs get off quick, forever ****** talk ****

Remeniscing about the last time the Task Force flipped

****** be runnin through the block shootin

Time to start the revolution, catch a body head for Houston

Once they caught us off guard, the Mac-10 was in the grass and

I ran like a cheetah with thoughts of an assassin

Pick the Mac up, told brothers, "Back up," the Mac spit

Lead was hittin ****** one ran, I made him backflip

Heard a few chicks scream my arm shook, couldn't look

Gave another squeeze heard it click yo, my **** is stuck

Try to cock it, it wouldn't shoot now I'm in danger

Finally pulled it back and saw three bullets caught up in the chamber

So now I'm jetting to the building lobby

and it was filled with children probably couldn't see as high as I be

(So whatchu sayin?) It's like the game ain't the same

Got younger ****** pullin the triggers bringing fame to they name

and claim some corners, crews without guns are goners

In broad daylight, stickup kids, they run up on us

Fo'-fives and gauges, Macs in fact

Same ******'ll catch a back to back, snatchin yo' cracks in black

There was a snitch on the block gettin ****** knocked

So hold your stash until the coke price drop

I know this crackhead, who said she gotta smoke nice rock

And if it's good she'll bring ya customers in measuring pots, but yo

You gotta slide on a vacation

Inside information keeps large ****** erasin and they wives basin

It drops deep as it does in my breath

I never sleep, cause sleep is the cousin of death

Beyond the walls of intelligence, life is defined

I think of crime when I'm in a New York state of mind



("New York state of mine" --> Rakim *repeat 4X*)



[Verse Two: Nas]

Be havin dreams that I'ma gangster -- drinkin Moets, holdin Tecs

Makin sure the cash came correct then I stepped

Investments in stocks, sewein up the blocks

to sell rocks, winnin gunfights with mega cops

But just a *****, walking with his finger on the trigger

Make enough figures until my pockets get bigger

I ain't the type of brother made for you to start testin

Give me a Smith and Wessun I'll have ****** undressin

Thinkin of cash flow, buddah and shelter

Whenever frustrated I'ma hijack Delta

In the P.J.'s, my blend tape plays, bullets are strays

Young bitches is grazed each block is like a maze

full of black rats trapped, plus the Island is packed

From what I hear in all the stories when my peoples come back, black

I'm livin where the nights is jet black

The fiends fight to get crack I just max, I dream I can sit back

and lamp like Capone, with drug scripts sewn

Or the legal luxury life, rings flooded with stones, homes

I got so many rhymes I don't think I'm too sane

Life is parallel to Hell but I must maintain

and be prosperous, though we live dangerous

cops could just arrest me, blamin us, we're held like hostages

It's only right that I was born to use mics

and the stuff that I write, is even tougher than dykes

I'm takin rappers to a new plateau, through rap slow

My rhymin is a vitamin, held without a capsule

The smooth criminal on beat breaks

Never put me in your box if your **** eats tapes

The city never sleeps, full of villians and creeps

That's where I learned to do my hustle had to scuffle with freaks

I'ma addict for sneakers, twenties of buddah and bitches with beepers

In the streets I can greet ya, about blunts I teach ya

Inhale deep like the words of my breath

I never sleep, cause sleep is the cousin of death

I lay puzzle as I backtrack to earlier times

Nothing's equivalent, to the new york state of mind



("New York state of mind" --> Rakim *repeat 4X*)

("Nasty Nas" --> cut and scratched 8X)
