Best/Inspirational/Meaningful Song Lyrics

So many songs have great lines in them, even poor songs can have some genius lyrics in them.

Anyone got any they can think of?

Off the top of my head from two very contrasting artists:

Lose Yourself - Eminem

"You better lose yourself in the music
The moment, you own it, you better never let it go
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime, yo"


At Last -Etta James

"At last
My love has come along
My lonely days are over"

"Do you really love more than you hate?
Push comes to shove do you give more than you take?
Can you still see sunshine when it's pouring with rain?
Do you try and make a difference or wait for it to change?"

Prayer for Unity - Phrase Mob

"Breathe, breathe in the air
Don't be afraid to care"

Breathe - Pink Floyd

Pink Floyd - A New Machine

I have always been here
I have always looked out from behind these eyes
It feels like more than a lifetime
Feels like more than a lifetime

Sometimes I get tired of the waiting
Sometimes I get tired of being in here
Is this the way it has always been?
Could it ever have been different?

Do you ever get tired of the waiting?
Do you ever get tired of being in there?
Don't worry, nobody lives forever
Nobody lives forever





Gotye - Eyes Wide Open

So this is the end of the story
Everything we had, everything we did
Is buried in dust
And this dust is all that's left of us
And only a few ever worried

While the signs will clear
They have no idea
You just get used to living in fear
Or give up
When you can't even picture your future

We walk the plank with our eyes wide open

Now I wanna sniff some glue
Now I wanna have something to do
All the kids wanna sniff some glue
All the kids want something to do

Like a cat in a bag
Waiting to drown
This time I'm coming down.

If heaven calls, I'm coming, too
Just like you said, you leave my life, I'm better off dead

All this talk of getting old
It's getting me down my love....
....Like a cat in a bag
Waiting to drown
This time I'm coming down.

Garageland

Back in the garage with my bullshit detector
Carbon monoxide making sure it's effective
People ringing up making offers for my life
But I just wanna stay in the garage all night

Death or Glory

in every gimmick hungry yob digging gold from rock 'n roll,
Grabs the mike to tell us he'll die before he's sold,
But I believe in this and it's been tested by research,
He, who ****s nuns, will later join the church.

I can hardly bear the sight of lipstick
On the cigarettes there in the ashtray
Lyin' cold the way you left 'em,
But at least your lips caressed them
While you packed
Or the lip-print on a half-filled cup of coffee
That you poured and didn't drink
But at least you thought you wanted it,
That's so much more than I can say for me
What a good year for the roses
Many blooms still linger there
The lawn could stand another mowin'
Funny I don't even care
As you turn to walk away
As the door behind you closes
The only thing I have to say
It's been a good year for the roses.

My father-in-law died when my wife and I were listening to this a lot. He had cancer, and the drugs didn't work. This was 16 years ago, and my wife still can't listen to this without weeping, and I struggle to keep a dry eye too. Magnificent.

Powerful stuff.

I had a mate growing up who could not (literally could not) hear 'Everybody hurts' by REM without physically breaking down. He never did share what the story was behind it, but it was clearly, visibly very painful.

The screen door slams
Marys dress sways
Like a vision she dances across the porch
As the radio plays
Roy orbison singing for the lonely
Hey that's me and I want you only
Don't turn me home again
I just can't face myself alone again
Don't run back inside
Darling you know just what Im here for
So you're scared and you're thinking
That maybe we aint that young anymore
Show a little faith, there's magic in the night
You aint a beauty, but hey you're alright
Oh and that's alright with me

Found my own way out
Don’t want to be part of no crowd
A piece of a problem
I need to move around
And now that I’m out on my own
I don’t answer to no one

Comfortably Numb makes a lot of sense to me. Although I do not have a fever, I kinda prefer going through life oblivious to it all.

And also it's got one of the greatest guitar solos committed to record.
