And too much blood has flown from the wrists, Of the children shamed for those they chose to kiss. Who will rise to stop the blood.
Survivor Guilt(has a very strong meaning but these few lyrics really explain it IMO.)
QUOTE
Carry on, don't mind me All I gave was everything And yet you ask me for more Fought your fight Bought your lie And in return I lost my life What purpose does this serve?
The cowards preach from pedestals With words like courage and resolve But what they meant was f*ck them all Cause freedom isn't free
They send our daughters and our sons To deserts under burning suns A sacrificial slaughtering To fill the pockets of the weak

She told me that she never could face the world again So I offered up a plan:
We'll sneak out while they sleep And sail off in the night. We'll come clean and start over the rest of our lives. When we're gone, we'll stay gone. Out of sight, out of mind. It's not too late, We have the rest of our lives.

Song about Martin Luther King -Pride (In The Name Of Love) - U2
One man come in the name of love One man come and go One come he to justify One man to overthrow
In the name of love What more in the name of love In the name of love What more in the name of love
One man caught on a barbed wire fence One man he resist One man washed on an empty beach. One man betrayed with a kiss
In the name of love What more in the name of love In the name of love What more in the name of love
(nobody like you...)
Early morning, April 4 Shot rings out in the Memphis sky Free at last, they took your life They could not take your pride
In the name of love What more in the name of love In the name of love What more in the name of love In the name of love What more in the name of love...

Actually, they're just hilarious, and the song is dreadful. In reality, some of my favorite lyrics are OFWGKTA, specifically Tyler The Creator or Earl Sweatshirt's.

Expecting To Fly - Buffalo Springfield
There you stood on the edge of your feather, Expecting to fly. While I laughed, I wondered whether I could wave goodbye, Knowin' that you'd gone. By the summer it was healing, We had said goodbye. All the years we'd spent with feeling Ended with a cry, Babe, ended with a cry, Babe, ended with a cry.
I tried so hard to stand As I stumbled and fell to the ground. So hard to laugh as I fumbled And reached for the love I found, Knowin' it was gone. If I ever lived without you, Now you know I'll die. If I ever said I loved you, Now you know I tried, Babe, now you know I tried. Babe, now you know I tried, Babe.
Love that song, though my favorite off that album, and one of my most played songs overall is Broken Arrow. I only really understand the first part of the song, I've always taken it as some sort of a statement about fame. The other two I guess could be tied into that theme too but it may be too far fetched, but it's beautiful writing no matter how you look at it, especially the last two:
The lights turned on and the curtain fell down, And when it was over it felt like a dream, They stood at the stage door and begged for a scream, The agents had paid for the black limousine That waited outside in the rain. Did you see them, did you see them? Did you see them in the river? They were there to wave to you. Could you tell that the empty quivered, Brown skinned Indian on the banks That were crowded and narrow, Held a broken arrow?
Eighteen years of American dream, He saw that his brother had sworn on the wall. He hung up his eyelids and ran down the hall, His mother had told him a trip was a fall, And don't mention babies at all. Did you see him, did you see him? Did you see him in the river? He were there to wave to you. Could you tell that the empty quivered, Brown skinned Indian on the banks That were crowded and narrow, Held a broken arrow?
The streets were lined for the wedding parade, The Queen wore the white gloves, the county of song, The black covered caisson her horses had drawn Protected her King from the sun rays of dawn. They married for peace and were gone. Did you see them, did you see them? Did you see them in the river? They were there to wave to you. Could you tell that the empty quivered, Brown skinned Indian on the banks That were crowded and narrow, Held a broken arrow?
Bury my face in comic books, cause I don't want to look At nothin', this world's too much I've swallowed all I could If I could swallow a bottle of tylenol I would, and end it for good Just say goodbye to Hollywood

Two songs come to mind, and the lyrics that I love the most I'll put in bold.
#1 - Sting - Englishman In New York
I don't drink coffee I take tea my dear I like my toast done on one side And you can hear it in my accent when I talk I'm an Englishman in New York
See me walking down Fifth Avenue A walking cane here at my side I take it everywhere I walk I'm an Englishman in New York
I'm an alien I'm a legal alien I'm an Englishman in New York I'm an alien I'm a legal alien I'm an Englishman in New York
- If, "Manners maketh man" as someone said Then he's the hero of the day It takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile Be yourself no matter what they say -
I'm an alien I'm a legal alien I'm an Englishman in New York I'm an alien I'm a legal alien I'm an Englishman in New York
Modesty, propriety can lead to notoriety You could end up as the only one Gentleness, sobriety are rare in this society At night a candle's brighter than the sun
Takes more than combat gear to make a man Takes more than a license for a gun Confront your enemies, avoid them when you can A gentleman will walk but never run
If, "Manners maketh man" as someone said Then he's the hero of the day It takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile Be yourself no matter what they say
I'm an alien I'm a legal alien I'm an Englishman in New York I'm an alien I'm a legal alien I'm an Englishman in New York
#2 - Simon & Garfunkel - The Boxer
I am just a poor boy Though my story's seldom told I have squandered my resistance For a pocket full of mumbles such are promises All lies and jests Still a man hears what he wants to hear And disregards the rest
When I left my home and my family I was no more than a boy In the company of strangers In the quiet of the railway station running scared Laying low, seeking out the poorer quarters Where the ragged people go Looking for the places only they would know
Lie la lie ...
Asking only workman's wages I come looking for a job But I get no offers, Just a come-on from the whores on Seventh Avenue I do declare, there were times when I was so lonesome I took some comfort there
Lie la lie ...
Then I'm laying out my winter clothes And wishing I was gone Going home Where the New York City winters aren't bleeding me Bleeding me, going home
- In the clearing stands a boxer And a fighter by his trade And he carries the reminders Of ev'ry glove that layed him down Or cut him till he cried out In his anger and his shame "I am leaving, I am leaving" But the fighter still remains -

The Rolling Stones - She's A Rainbow
Have you seen her dressed in blue? See the sky in front of you And her face is like a sail Speck of white so fair and pale Have you seen a lady fairer?
Have you seen her all in gold? Like a queen in days of old She shoots colors all around Like a sunset going down Have you seen a lady fairer?
The Doors - Hello, I love You
Hello, I love you Won't you tell me your name? Hello, I love you Let me jump in your game
She's walking down the street Blind to every eye she meets Do you think you'll be the guy To make the queen of the angels sigh?

Probably from the EXCEPTIONAL The Who and Mr. Pete Townshend, who penned the words "Don't Pretend that you Know me, 'Cause I don't even Know Myself!"
So true, yet no one understands this!??!
I Don't Even Know Myself by The Who, 1971 Pete Townshend: "I wrote a couple of songs in a period where people were writing extensive analysis of my character and stuff like this. And I thought, 'Well, f--k it. You don't know me. I don't know myself, how can you know me?'" This song was released as the B-side to "Won't Get Fooled Again." www.songfacts.com
I commented on the YT upload 8 months back even, but this was posted by a member since...
"What this means to me: If you interviewed everyone you've ever met and asked them to tell you everything they know about you: first impressions, last impressions, second hand impressions, third hand, no hands, and so on, then put it all together, the picture you would end up with would be woefully inaccurate. Or as someone very dear to me once said "What you see as me, I don't recognize." In that state of affairs, there's no room for hate."
To which I say "AMEN", and God Bless. Hit the nail on the head in so many ways

In and around the lake Mountains come out of the sky and they Stand there One mile over we'll be there and we'll see you Ten true summers we'll be there and Laughing too-oo-oo-oo Twenty four before my love you'll see I'll be There with you
Along the drifting cloud the eagle searching Down on the land Catching the swirling wind the sailor sees The rim of the land The eagle's dancing wings create as weather Spins out of hand
Go closer hold the land feel partly no more Than grains of sand We stand to lose all time a thousand answers By in our hand Next to your deeper fears we stand Surrounded by million years

QUOTE (Mick Jagger @ Keith Richards)
There's a tramp sittin' on my doorstep Tryin' to waste his time With his methylated sandwich He's a walking clothesline And here comes the bishop's daughter On the other side She looks a trifle jealous She's been an outcast all her life
Me, I'm waiting so patiently Lying on the floor I'm just trying to do my jig-saw puzzle Before it rains anymore
Oh the gangster looks so fright'ning With his luger in his hand When he gets home to his children He's a family man But when it comes to the nitty-gritty He can shove in his knife Yes he really looks quite religious He's been an outlaw all his life

Pearl Jam - Black :
QUOTE
Sheets of empty canvas, untouched sheets of clay Were laid spread out before me as her body once did. All five horizons revolved around her soul as the earth to the sun Now the air I tasted and breathed has taken a turn Ooh, and all I taught her was everything Ooh, I know she gave me all that she wore And now my bitter hands chafe beneath the clouds of what was everything. Oh, the pictures have all been washed in black, tattooed everything... I take a walk outside, I'm surrounded by some kids at play I can feel their laughter, so why do I sear? Oh, and twisted thoughts that spin round my head, I'm spinning, oh, I'm spinning, how quick the sun can drop away And now my bitter hands cradle broken glass of what was everything All the pictures have all been washed in black, tattooed everything... All the love gone bad turned my world to black Tattooed all I see, all that I am, all I'll be... yeah... Uh huh... uh huh... ooh... I know someday you'll have a beautiful life, I know you'll be a star in somebody else's sky, But why, why, why can't it be, can't it be mine? Aah... uuh..

Who the f*ck do you think we are? How can you sit there and tell us when we will die, then it fails us again. You bleed, we bleed, what's the point of these lies? Stop wasting your life telling me when I'll lose mine.
Whitechapel - The Night Remains :
QUOTE
There is a place where the seas flow deep red. Sounds of the night, our ears have eternally wed. Where every hero lay slain. For the sunlight dies and the night remains. The light of a million fires could not bring your eyes to see. The hounds of Hell conspire. Extinguish the sun and bring forth the night. Tidal waves of blood crash down on the lifeless bodies. The dead become revived. The horrors of the night shall never sleep again. Bring forth the night. The night remains. Tidal waves of blood crash down on the lifeless bodies. The dead become revived. The horrors of the night shall never sleep again. Bring forth the night. (Believe me when I say, the sun will disappear. And the night will remain.) Everything has fallen silent, the tide begins to recede and calms. This is only a place for violence. Rid yourself and never return. There is a place where the seas flow deep red. Your eyes go blind and the night remains.
I don't want to live like this All pissed off and all stressed From the everyday bullsh*t I don't want to die like this Some kind of angry fit My heart will call it quits
But I'm... Never gonna understand the office lingo The cornball Christians that play bingo The fast food rejects. The white collar snobs The quota seeking pigs and the brain dead jocks No. Never gonna be an American Idol Not with this gut, no. Not with this smile Never gonna be a rich celebrity It seems wealth was never in the cards for me
I don't want to be like this But nothing seems to fit Since I got used to it I can't see the sunshine Too many dark clouds are in it's way
I lost all hope that I could last In this land of the walking dead It's such a waste, what I could do But I'm stuck here with you
I hate everyone I work with A bunch of miserable pricks Cuz of the chances they missed Everyone I meet is a rude selfish asshole Apparently please and thank you is a hassle Nobody's bothered by the state of the world Or the late night commercial child porn girls
Light me a cigarette. Pour me a drink Make me a wasteland so I don't have to think about you
I should really deal with it Become a hypocrite Somehow buy into it But it's the only way I know how to live I can't shut it out I can't take this sh*t
Still I'm... So fed up with the mallrat punks And the spoiled rotten white kids Trying to be thugs The popped collar douchebags The spray on tan queens Toupees, extensions, wigs, and weaves So tired of all this crap on tv The sugarcoated news and the talk show sleaze The Hollywood gossip showing the worst Of the silicone garbage. Thin as a corpse
I let the stress go to my head I know someday soon I will be dead It's not a waste. It gets me through Being stuck here with you

But the tale ends not here, I've nothing to fear, Cause my love is yell of giving an hold on. In the bright emptiness, In a room full of it, is a cruel mistress-my heart. I feel this unrest that nest all hallowness, And I've nowhere to go and I'm cold. Here I feel so lone....ly, yeah. Theres a better place than this emptiness. And I'm so lone....ly, yeah. Theres a better place than this emptiness, yea yea yea yea yea yea yeah. (In hindi from now) Tune mere jana kabhi nahi jana, Ishq mera dard mera, haye. Tune mere jana kabhi nahi jana, Ishq mera dard mera. Ashiq tera, bheed me khoya rehta hai, Jane jahaan, pucho to itna kehta hai. (Meaning-You my love, You never knew my love nor my pain, yeah. You my love, You never knew my love nor my pain, yeah. Your lover is always lost in the crowd, My world, I ask and he answers just this) And I feel so lone....ly, yeah. Theres a better place than this emptiness. And I'm so lone....ly, yeah. Theres a better place than this emptiness, yea yea yea yea yea yea yeah.
