Fav. song quotes

I got soul but I'm not a solider - the Killers

 

I was going to quote part of the song, but honestly I love every single fucking line

 

GLORIA GAYNOR - I AM WHAT I AM

I am what I am
And what I am needs no excuses
I deal my own deck sometimes the aces sometimes the deuces
It's one life and there's no return and no deposit
One life so it's time to open up your closet
Life's not worth a dam till you can shout out
I am what I am

 

Carola - Captured by a Lovestorm

I'm captured by a lovestorm
From your heart
Giving me a brand new start
And it's gonna last forever
Captured by a lovestorm
Day and night
Feeling only what is right
You're the reason love is here to stay

 

- Paramore Decode

 

From Friska Viljor's "Arpeggio"

 

"I'm the one that's gonna have to die when it's time for me to die,
So let me live my life the way I want to"
-Jimi Hendrix, If 6 Was 9

I also like this, from the same song:
"White-collar conservatives flashing down the street
Pointing their plastic finger at me.
They're hoping soon my kind will drop and die,
But I'm gonna wave my freak flag high"

 

If I could turn back time. I'd take back those words that hurt you and you'd stay.
-Cher-

 

These feelings I have never shown, remain unknown
I really don't know if I'm that strong
These secrets I have held inside through all my life
I guess I'll shield them till I die

- In My Darkest Hours, by Sirenia

 

Hear Me by Imagine Dragons
"Can nobody hear me? I've got a lot that's on my mind" This lyric is my life at school.


Harbour Lights by A Silent Film
"I want you to know, That you were my rock, never my stepping stone" I just really love this line.

And the aforementioned line from San Francisco by the Mowglis
"I've been in love with love, and the idea of something binding us together, you know that love is strong enough. And I've heard time tell tales about tht systematic drug, yeah that heart that beats as one, it's collectively, unconciously composed."

 

"99 Jahre Krieg, Ließen keinen Platz für Sieger, Kriegsminister gibt's nicht mehr
Und auch keine Düsenflieger, Heute zieh' ich meine Runden, Seh' die Welt in Trümmern liegen, Hab' 'nen Luftballon gefunden, Denk' an dich und lass' ihn fliegen" (Roughly translated as 99 years of war left no rooms for victors, there were no more war ministries, no more fighter jets. Today I'm making my rounds and see the world lying in ruins. I found a balloon think of you and let it fly.) - Nena - 99 Luftballon.

"We censor music then give children guns" - Darren Hayes - Spin

"The greatest love of all; Is easy to achieve; Learning to love yourself; It is the greatest love of all " Whitney Houston - Greatest Love Of All

"Remember the compliments you receive, forget the insults; if you
succeed in doing this, tell me how." - Baz Luhrmann - Everyone's Free (To Wear Suncreen) '98

 

Same Love - Macklemore and Ryan Lewis feat. Mary Lambert: "No freedom 'til we're equal, damn right that's important."

 

"Because You Loved Me"
by Celine Dion

I'm everything I am
Because you loved me.

For my parents and grandma

The whole song really but that's the important line.

 

"The Spiderman is Having me For Dinner Tonight" - The Cure - Lullaby

"I'm Writing the Future; I'm Writing it down Loud" - Future - Paramore


"There must be some way otta here, Said the Joker to the Theif " - All Along the Watch Tower - Bob Dylan

 

"Pretty pretty please, don't you ever ever feel like you're less than fucking perfect" - Pink

 

I second this favorite.

 

Every boyfriend is the one
Until otherwise proven
The good are never easy
The easy never good
And love it never happens like you think it really should

Deception and perfection are wonderful traits
One will breed love
The other hate
-Marina and the Diamonds, 'Homewrecker'

 

I'm putting a whole splurge, I really can't pick a favourite quote, so I picked a favourite complete Stanza and Chorus(all of them come one after eachother), which is basically my favourite Stanza in any song, gives me chills everytime I hear it.

Atmosphere - GodLovesUgly(one of my favourite songs of all time)

Whats up with the way, that everybody gathers around each other
So they can steal each others sound
If its all about gettin down with the get down
How long i gotta wait for these fools to sit down?
Appears more clear in its simplest form
Nobody sees tears when youre standing in a storm
Abandoning the norm, and handling the harvest
Measuring the worth by the depth of the hardships
I welcome all the hatred you can aim at my name
I held on to the sacred ways of how to play the game
When the soldiers started runnin short on rations
I began tappin the egg, to spark the hatchin
Make it happen
And take this captain to the gallows
I keep steerin us into an area thats shallow
Talkin to my shadow, he advised me not to worry
He said i should plant my tree and let it rise out of the fury
So give me some light, a little love and some liquid
Im gonna creep through the night
And put a plug in the spigot
And when the water grows
And the dam starts to overflow
Ill float atop the flood, holding on to my ugly

[chorus]

Why scream, when you can lose yourself inside the wide-screen
Let life be a bowl of melted ice cream
Or be the deer thats caught in my high beams
Im rollin with the lights on, scared stiff
Reality is just too much to bear with
Paranoid, walkin around careless
No wonder youre in love with your therapist
Go to sleep my little time bom

Second favourite stanza, I can't find a favourite single quote there are too many.

Living Legends - Man Who Sold the World Part 2 (Yet to find a song that has so much deep meaning and really has changed the way I think)




On stolen shores, we wrote these poems
Can't make it yours, any land on the earth

[Verse 1 - PSC]
It began with the man and it got complex
I guess Pampas promise, No honest-y among theives
When the land was free then a few individuals could breed
Succeed in division, driven by the vision on that land-mass
Never make the land last longer than the last laugh
God show (half-ass)
Real estate agents are really fake agents of Satan, quote that
Government's warpath, roll back borders
Remaining controllers of most of our oceans
How do we condone it?
Most of our oceans, they never should own it (we own it!)

horus 4X]

[Verse 3 - Asop]
Selling what you never owned; Land, water, sand
Put a price upon the beauty of our planet is ridiculous
But we on a metronome
a story telling fella dropping knowledge on the ego's of a species out of control
Cash hungry bastards, chopping down trees to produce paper money
Fiber from the earth backwards
Man's thought process: Anywhere I stand's for sale
The European, pale-faced world
Native Americans, stripped for the heritage
A people who understood the concept of earth
The one and only ever-life force can't be bought
So they give away, even by the ??? of the world


[Verse 4 - Sunspot Jonz]
Yea, Is your mind yours?
What defines war, then confines doors?
It's a sign OR you's a time-whore!
Meaning demons fiending, scheming
Propaganda build their own team when
Beef's in, and people letting time pass on by
And never last or try, that's why them cats so high
And now they're old-ass guys, when the life you live
Future's negative
Afraid to have some kids, 'cause every tax you get
Bust the guns, the runs, our son's will take to make capitalist cake
A bake, you in face
Care about the money they make
They sold the world for bookdeals, oil kickbacks
Steel exports, beef extracts
Vaccines Lack, the true antidote
Boxed like the Pope, fearing light
Jail without soap on the rope, live without hope
So we live, give out dope to our own people cope
The pain to alert, to the fantasy
Never sell myself short!

Bolded favourite parts

Favourite Quote with no specific world-related meaning(basically complaining about the state of music), comes from Slug of Atmosphere. I know I seem biased using same artists, but I have yet to hear such eloquent words from a hip-hop artists.


We dug the fingernails underneath the skin of your scalp, then peeled it
Sent your underdeveloped pre-school style on a field trip
Now bite your tongue, this is how the mic gets stung
A whole tree to pick some fruit from, man!
You had to choose the ripest one

 

"Raise your glass if you are wrong in all the right ways" -P!NK- Raise Your Glass

"Look at the stars, look how they shine for you"- Coldplay- Yellow

"Everybody knows I'm in over my head"- The Fray- Over My Head (Cable Car)

"When you try your best but you don't succeed, when you get what you want, but not what you need, when you feel so tired but you can't sleep, i will try to fix you"-Coldplay- Fix You

 

You say my hair is much too long
And you are right and I am wrong
I got a way of walking, I got a way of talking
You got a way of living
Don't try to make me live with you, oh you
Budgie - Rape of the Locks

Seagull, give it all away
Stay a bird, stay a man
Stay a ghost, stay what you wanna be
Budgie - Breadfan

and because I love the whole song...

Here's a tale of warning
For you children being born
About a sweet young Christian girl
Who donned a crown of thorns

Seems her Christian parents
Never wanted her around
Sent her to a convent school
And a guilt trip hand-me-dwn

There was never need for this
Until someone showed her how
Jesus Christ could burn your soul
Look at her now

She got hitched up to
The first young Christian man she met
Had a child in late July
The guilt trip goes on yet

There was never need for this
Until someone showed her how
Jesus Christ could burn your soul
Look at her now

So to all of you who are told
That God may strike you blind
Leave your churches one and all
And leave your guilt trips behind

Surely God won't mind
