If you wanna be my friend, you want us to get along.
Please do not expect me to wrap it up and keep it there.
The observation I am doing could easily be understood as cynical demeanour.
But one of us misread.
And what do you know, it happened again...

A friend is not a means you utilize to get somewhere.
Somehow I didn't notice, friendship is an end.
What do you know, it happened again.

How come no-one told me, all throughout history
The loneliest people were the ones who always spoke the truth?
The ones who made a difference, by withstanding the indifference
I guess it's up to me now - should I take that risk or just smile?

What do you know... it happened again
What do you know




Some of the best lyrics I've ever come across, honestly.

Mononc' Serge - Canada is not my country

Frenchmen came from France
To exterminate Indians
Satisfy their appetite for genocide
They proliferated like vermin
So today we are millions
Dreaming of destruction
Waiting for secession
Preparing the final assault
To avenge the plains of Abraham insult

Dreaming of pogroms and referendums
Reading Mein Kampf and Lionel Groulx's anthology
Not giving a shit about the right of minorities
To ignore our half-dead tongue, you know we're wrong
Why don't you open your eyes
And you will see that Canada is not our country

How do you want me to identify
With a country where human rights are king
An open minded land where multi-culturalism is the thing
Don't you see my heart is full of hatred
Retrograde ideas, racist beliefs
There is no place there for a maple leaf
Between two mouthfulls of pea soup
I count my munitions, I polish my .22

I wanna crush this miserable beaver under my thumb
Strangle ministers, wear brown shirts, plant bombs
I like the sound of the boots in the military march
And the Parti Québécois membership cards
Why don't you set me free, why don't you see
That Canada is not my country

Canada, Canada
Canada is not my country
(Not necessary I believe...
Ah le satire! What a nice invention!)

Didn't you make one of these like 3 weeks ago?

 

[Ronin]

Ruthless and vicious he'll stomp on your face
Deadly, malicious, stay out of his space
He'll rip your eyes out, don't look the wrong way
And once you meet him, there's no time to pray
He'll rip your heart out, make you eat your own lips
Then crack your elbows, and crush fingertips


He'll make you wish that you didn't exist,
Cause Sargent "D" is coming, and you're on his list

Don't cut the line, cause he'll cut off your legs
Don't take your time or you'll spend time with the dead
Don't try to trick him, he'll fill you with lead
Don't beg for mercy, he'll piss on your head
He'll kill your sister, then mail back the tits
He'll beat you senseless, then break out the whips


He'll make you wish that you didn't exist,
Cause Sargent "D" is coming, and you're on his list

He'll put gas on your kids, then throw them a match
He'll back the car over grandma, then dissect her cat
With his Stormtroopers of Death, he'll come to your town
Their Uzi's rip through flesh, then it's time to chow down
Their cause is justified, their reason is clear
The word revenge is all that they hear

He'll make you wish that you didn't exist,
Cause Sargent "D" is coming, and you're on his list

Sie ist ein Modell und sie sieht gut aus
Ich nehme sie heut' gerne mit zu mir nach Haus
Sie wirkt so kühl, and sie kommt niemand 'ran
Doch vor der Kamera da zeigt sie was sie kann

Sie trinkt im Nachtklub immer Sekt (korr-ekt!)
Und hat hier alle Männer abgecheckt
Im Scheinwerferlicht ihr junges Lächeln strahlt
Sie sieht gut aus und Schönheit wird bezahlt

Sie stellt sich zu Schau für das Konsumprodukt
Und wird von millionen Augen angeguckt
Ihr neues Titelbild ist einfach Fabelhaft
Ich muss sie wiedersehen, ich weiss sie hat's geschaft

Oh fuck it.

MAE - The Everglow

heres a night, and it shines.
and it calls us on and on,
so be here by my side,
and watch the stars.
they're ours.
make a wish or just take charge.
the moment comes, get lost and go far.
i think that we've got what it takes,
to get this heart beating again.
so take it all the way.
whoaaaaa whoaaaaaaa
and our hearts are now in the everglow,
so just let go and fall into it.
we began, breathe in,
heres our chance to go for something,
so this is where we win and take the game,
no blame.
there's a neon light,
inside it shines and tearing down the walls in our way.
i think that we've got what it takes,
to get this heart beating again.
so take it all the way.
whoaaaaaaa whoaaaaaa
and our hearts are now in the everglow.
deep inside we both know it,
everything's riding on this moment.
whoa, whoa
and our hearts are now in the everglow.
so just let go and fall into it.
lets go inside and look deep into the night.
the light is bright enough to send
the weakest ones to go for the ride on.
oh no you cannot fade away.
whoa, whoa.
and our hearts are now in the everglow.
whoa, whoa.
so just let go, and fall into it!
whoa, whoa.
and our hearts are now in the everglow.
deep inside we both know it,
everything's riding on this moment.
woah, woah.
and our hearts are now in the everglow.
every action makes a reaction,
we'll figure it out and make it happen!
whoa, whoa.
and our hearts are now in the everglow.
so just let go and fall into it....

you call your self a seoul-ja but ain't reppin it right (try me)
metal detectors going off for the rest of your life
no matter how hard it gets i'd rather be seoul-ja dying in my
own blood not a coward in my own piss
ferocious explosions you load in your toes if I see ya
Chino got more Seoul than capital of Korea
you narrow to take a loss give me two seconds of two bars
I turn so-called first rate mc's into second thoughts
it's harder to floss from hospital rooms for several months
so who-ever flaunts I want em once then i'm ready to dump
burn you out of instinct if you homo'd out like n'sync
cuz korean-american link they don't make camouflage in pink
start to great in my squads impatient
I heard Allah's waitin for Chino finally bring drama to Satan
the ground is shaking unearthly greed's diseased
dig my hand in the ice and pull Korea closer to Jersey

 

[Ruas]

When all the land is peaceful and there is no further threat to us at last,
then comes a time for love two hearts colliding into one great hyme,
but there are winds forboding and a dark storm that soon will pass
kiss me my love then go the time for valor has returned again : )

Duran Duran
Ordinary World

Came in from a rainy Thursday on the avenue,
Thought I heard you talking softly.
I turned on the lights, the TV and the radio
Still I can't escape the ghost of you.

What is happening to it all?
Crazy some say-
Where is the life that I recognise?
Gone away.

CHORUS:
But I won't cry for yesterday.
There's an ordinary world somehow I have to find.
And as I try to make my way to the ordinary world
I will learn to survive.

Passion or coincidence once prompted you to say-
Pride will tear us both apart.
Well now pride's gone out the window, cross the rooftops, runaway.
Left me in the vacuum of my heart.

What is happening to me?
Crazy some say.
Where is my friend when I need you most?
Gone away.

CHORUS

Papers in the roadside tell of suffering and greed,
Feared today; forgot tomorrow.
Here beside the news of holy war and holy need,
Ours is just a little sorrowed talk-
Blown away.

Just blowing away.

CHORUS

Any world is my world
Every world is my world

Queens of the Stone Age - You've Got a Killer Scene There, Man

don't mean to make obscene
but even the mob, know what the hell i mean
the knot is tight, on my blindfold
i got my flesh full of blood, i hate rock n roll
some think too much, then come too soon
i just curse the sun, so i can howl at the moon
don't wanna love you no more
don't wanna love you less
i wanna be crushed by your sweet caress
what's the fuckin' difference, we all gonna die
you gonna do something killer?
C'mon give it a try
Got no good plans but a good idea
let's put this town in my rearview mirror
yeah, i got enemies, but they don't know
they won't get no glory on that side of the hole
were are united, by drifting alone
this is the army of none, got no flag, got no home
just witches & scabs, an awful mess, i confess...
let's do it again.

 

[sykoex]

Doc, I know I've let you down
'Cause you counted on me
But David beating Goliath
Just wasn't meant to be

chorus:
What's my Star
Compared to Dynamite?
A quite pathetic fight
Let's keep it clean, Punch out!!

Mr. Dream had turned into a nightmare
His fists had a taste of steel
I flinched from his assaulting
Apprehensions became real

chorus 2:
Some hooks
A barrage of his claws
My heart-beats took a pause
Let's keep it clean, Punch out!!

So thick, the darkness that surrounds
I entered the dreamless rest
The KO countdown faded
As I greeted unconsciousness

Forgive me for failing you
I desillusioned you
My best
Just wasn't good enough

 

[Mifune]

"Company Calls"

I'll take the best of your bad moods and dress them up to make a better you,
'cause all the company calls amount to one paycheck.
I'd squeeze a heart through my fingertip but i type too slow to make expressions stick.
And it's like TV with a microchip.
Set your sights to sink the partyline, 'cause it's so tired.
Set your sights! destroy this mock-shrine, 'cause it's so tired.
Let's cut our losses at both ends and aim your car away from all our friends,
Leaving the dishes stacked in the sink.
I'd keep a distance 'cause the complications cloud it all,
And mail a postcard sending grettings from the eastern bloc.
Synapse to synapse... possoibilities will thin or fade.
Your wedding figurines... i'd melt so i could drink them in.

Worth Fighting For
G.Tipton/R.Halford/K.K. Downing

You said I could never find
A way to ease your mind
That where I'd go you'd wind up in the dust

I tried so hard to have you reach
Another side of me
Instead you went to nowhere and forgot

So I wander on
Asking where you might have gone
From what I knew before
Some things are worth fighting for

Desert heat can wear you down
But still I'm rollin' through
Did I see your figure in the haze

I am driven by a thirst
To quench myself of love
The sun beats on me for the price I've paid

So I wander on
Asking where you might have gone
From what I knew before
Some things are worth fighting for yeah

Night road leads me to a town of ghosts
I'm beckoned by the glow
of kerosene and tumbleweed
They're calling out (They're calling out)
Forevermore (Forevermore)
Worth fighting for

I'm leaning in the wind
Head bowed down from what I saw
My shadow for a friend
Still some things are worth fighting for

So I'm moving on
Asking where you might have gone
From what I knew before
Some things are worth fighting for yeah

Worth Fighting For

 

[Sullichin]

While you make pretty speeches, i'm being cut to shreds
You feed me to the lions, a delicate balance
This just feels like spinning plates
I'm living in cloud cuooko land
This just feels like spinning plates
Our bodies floating down the muddy river

Agreed. Debate Exposes Doubt is a good one too.

the workadays were propping the bar quietly erasing the week and i was in a cornerbooth thinking (pretending to read) about the impossiblity of one to love unconditionally and the words that we drive into the ground: their repetition starts to thin their meaning.

then everything got frighteningly still as they entered and intersected the floor and i tried to choke my stare at the perfection that others would kill for. but all of the parts are the same on every face (few variables change). the differences pale when compared to the similarity they share

finally there is clarity and there is purpose after all, but every night ends the same as i'm collapsing once more by your side.
finally there is clarity: this tiny life is making sense. and every drop numbs the both of us, but i alone am staggering.

Brilliant, really.

 

[Foreign Jackass]

It's summertime
And I can understand if you still feel sad
It's summertime
And though it's hard to see its true possibilities
When you look inside, all you'll see
When you look inside, all you'll see
Is a self reflected inner sadness
Look outside
I know that you'll recognize
It's summertime

 

[Shawn]

And as we wind on down the road
Our shadow's taller than our soul
There walks a lady we all know
Who shines bright light and wants to show
How everything still turns to gold
And if you listen very hard
The tune will come to you at last
When all is one and one is all
To be a rock and not to roll

mae - anything

love,
its the wave i ride,
but won't ever reach the shore.
overwhelmed by the tide
and wanting nothing more, tonight.
than to take this time
and make it all mine.
its coming around again.
every now and again sometime,
i get lost on the wings of a dream.
the air gets cleaner, the seas get warm.
i can do anything.
the pain it won't even cross my mind.
it's wanting and everything.
the rope gives illusion, the chains unbothered.
and i can do anything.
hope,
its the light that strives,
that burns inside of me.
its a blinding light,
bu somehow i can see, again.
when i lost my way.
its becoming very clear.
and its coming around again.
every now and again sometime,
i get lost on the wings of a dream.
the air gets cleaner, the seas get warm.
i can do anything.
the pain it won't even cross my mind.
it's wanting and everything.
the rope gives illusion, the chains unbothered.
and i can do anything.
somewhere between the darkest and the light.
my spirit takes the flight.
the cannons fill the sky,
and i am free, oh ohh.
its coming around again.
its coming around again.
its coming around again.
every now and again sometime,
i get lost on the wings of a dream.
the air gets cleaner, the seas get warm.
i can do anything.
the pain it won't even cross my mind.
it's wanting and everything.
the rope gives illusion, the chains unbothered.
and i can do anything.
every now and again sometime,
i get lost on the wings of a dream
the rope gives illusion, the chains unbothered.
and i can do anything.
