I'm curious as to what makes us all tick. So what lines from what songs mean something to you? Over the years this board has probably analysed NMA lyrics to death so they are excluded. What words stand true for you? You don't need to explain why unless you want to ( I ain't gonna ) but a link would probably be useful. Yes, I'm being nosey..... but in recompense here's some of mine.
“I found love, I found life as a thorn stuck in your side. And you wonder why?” - Rise Against : The Eco-Terrorist In Me.

“Just get it out, get it out, get your ******* voice out of my head” - The Cure : The Kiss
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BNTrm67-g8Q
“I am human and I need to be loved, just like everybody else does” - The Smiths : How Soon Is Now?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bB5bSZmuP90
“And before you come to any conclusions, try walking in my shoes” - Depeche Mode : Walking In MyShoes.

“**** You I Won't Do What You Tell Me” - Rage Against The Machine : Killing In The Name

I could probably fill pages on my own but what moves you?

OK... here's some lyrics that strike a chord... I WOULD post links but, for some reason, Youtube seems to be blocking me... >:(
'I've been too honest with myself, I should have lied like everybody else...' Manics, 'Faster'...
'It's so easy to laugh, it's so easy to hate, it takes guts to be gentle and kind...' The Smiths, 'I Know It's Over'
'Finding the answer... it's a human obsession... but you might as well talk to the stones and the trees and the sea...' Marillion, 'Estonia'...
'God knows everybody needs a hand in their decision... Some of us are not so sure... I've seen his own held out for a ride on television... I think he's still in Baltimore...' The Sisters Of Mercy, 'Somewhere Fast'....
That's four for starters...
-

l cried when angels deserved to die - chop suey - soad
You'll work harder with a gun in your back for a bowl of rice a day - holiday in Cambodia -DK
Loving is the key that unlocks the door but you never know what's waiting behind - Fate -Nma

This could get to be a long list indeed; will try a few and see how it goes.

"I am the demon cleaner..... Wash them all away" - Demon Cleaner, Kyuss.
"One day all this will be yours" - One Day All This Will Be Yours, Oceansize
"I was born here and I’ll die here against my will
I know it looks like I’m moving, but I’m standing still
Every nerve in my body is so vacant and numb
I can’t even remember what it was I came here to get away from
Don’t even hear a murmur of a prayer
It’s not dark yet, but it’s getting there" - Not Dark Yet, Bob Dylan
"I'm on the last train home and I don't want to be here; they're either stinking of weed or they're stinking of beer" - Last Train Home, Dan le Sac vs. Scroobius Pip

"And while you're ripping off the children somebody's ******* your wife" - Shotgun Blues, Guns 'N' Roses
"They hate you if you're clever and they despise a fool" - Working Class Hero, John Lennon

"Never trust a junkie....." - Just One Fix, Ministry
-
Trust i seek and find in you every day for us something new open mind for a different view and nothing else matters - metallica
-
OK, some new ones...
I savor hate as much as I crave love because I'm just a twisted guy...Is this the pinnacle, is this the pinnacle, the pinnacle of being alive? (Biffy Clyro, God And Satan)
and when you're no longer searching for beauty or love - just some kind of life with the edges taken off... when you can't even define what it is that you are frightened of... (Pulp, The Fear)
Why do the Gods sit back and watch... so many lost.... What kind of mother leaves a child in the traffic, turning tricks in the dark... What kind of God? (Marillion, When I Meet God)
Outside, open mouthed crowds pass each other as if they're drugged' Manics, 'From Despair To Where'

Wow. Good thread.
I know its over and it never really began. But in my heart it was so real- I know its over, The Smiths. Still a great song. Im also pinching Master Rays lyric choice too!!
We're not positive and uplifting, **** you, walk a mile in our shoes, experience hard times and paying helly dues- We don't die-Twiztid.
As a familiar face with a loving smile greets you everyday, as failure seeps a little deeper through your life, yeah sure you gave some girl your heart but you never used it anyway
Learn to cry- Del Amitri
Yea maybe sometimes I do feel like shit
I ain't happy 'bout it, but I'd rather feel like shit than be full of shit!
And if I offended you, oh I'm sorry...
But maybe you need to be offended
But here's my apology and one more thing...**** you!
Suicidal Tendencies- You Cant bring me down
You say, "Son, let's forget the past.
I want another chance, gonna make it last."
You're begging me for a brand new start,
trying to mend a bridge that's been blown apart,
but you know... you never built it dad.
Queensryche- The Bridge....yes. I have dad issues ;D
-
I like this - keep 'em coming, it's like a little window into our souls :D
How can I be,
What I want To be?
When all I want to do is strip away
These stilled constraints
And crush this charade
Shred this sad masquerade
I don't need no persuading
I'll trip, fall, pick myself up and
Walk unafraid
REM - Walk Unafraid
Imma do the things that I wanna do
I ain't got a thing to prove to you
I'll eat my candy with the pork and beans
Excuse my manners if I make a scene
I ain't gonna wear the clothes that you like
I'm fine and dandy with the me inside
one look in the mirror and I'm tickled pink
I don't give a hoot about what you think
No, I don't care
I don't care
I don't care
I don't care
I don't care
I don't care
Weezer - Pork & Beans
And because Pol & Jack cheated so can I :P

Remember, remember, their terror is the best of guards
Terminus - Terror Is The Best of Guards
They found you in spain
Face down in the street
With a bottle in your hand
And a wild smile on your face
And a knife in your back
You died in a foreign land
And they found my letter
Rolled up in your pocket
Where I said I'd kill myself
If she left me again
Swans - God Damn the Sun
We whispered only to ourselves and the walls came tumbling down
NMA - Liberal Education

oh well. i guess someone was always going to come with the thread to end all threads.

And there's a happy family snapshot
When you were very small
But there were visits from the doctor
You can't remember what for
Curtains drawn in silence
On a summer afternoon
And the flies
Buzzing in the room
New Model Army - Someone Like Jesus

There's this because of a friend overseas
“All because of you,
I believe in angels.
Not the kind with wings,
No, not the kind with halos,
The kind that bring you home,
When home becomes a strange place.
I'll follow your voice,
All you have to do is shout it out”
:-*

You can't put your arms around a memory - butterfly on a wheel - the mission
-
Everytime that i look in the mirror
All these lines on my face getting clearer
The past has gone
Isn't that the way
Everybody's got their price in life to pay
I know and nobody knows
Where it comes and where it goes
I know and everybody sins
You've got the truth to throw away
Dream on Dream on Dream on
Dream until your dreams come true
The Mission - Dream On

No posts in over a year, so it's a big bump for this one, the 'Lines From Songs That Mean Something To You' thread...
Help the aged, 'cos one day you'll be older too... you might need someone who can pull you through...
And if you look very hard behind the lines upon their face, you may see where you are headed... and it's such a lonely place...
Pulp, Help The Aged
How illogical is a piece of faith anyway? It's as long as the child is inside me... Don't finish sympathy, not yet.
Glasvegas, Finished Symphony
Could this be an arm around my waist? Well, surely the hand contains a knife? It's been so all of my life... Why change now? It hasn't!"
Now this might surprise you, but I find I'm OK by myself... And I don't need you or your morality to save me! No, no, no, no, no!
Morrissey, I'm OK By Myself
Anyone else wanna add something?

Turn me inside out and upside down, try to see things my way.
Turn a new page, tear the old one out, and I'll try to see things your way.
Gomez- How We Operate
Bye Mom, bye Pa.
I’m off to the front lines.
My head’s in a helmet,
And the young will bear your brunt.
Ground 'B' Sound- Death Piggy
I would try to explain
but you would never listen,
I would try to break through
That's the time you would shut me out
I'd just bottle up all my emotions
These feelings bite like a knot inside.
This pain I carry in solitude,
Chained to me in loneliness
Depression has me, he is my king.
He shows the path that I must take,
A perversion of justive of the saddest kind
To enter my dreams and I shall not wake.
Acid Reign - Thougthful Sleep
So I know you're going pretty soon.
Radiation sore throat got your tongue.
Magic markers tattoo you,
and show it where to aim.
And strangers break their promises,
You won't feel any....
You won't feel any pain.
Eels - Dead Of Winter
Christ!! How miserable!! Sorry.
-
No apologies necessary, Jonesy, some fine lyrics there.

"If you and I
Had been anything less
Than these disenfranchised minds
We would have looked the other way
As we passed each other by"
VNV Nation - Vernum aetrnus

Back to life - Back to reality
Sums up my feelings at the moment
I suppose those special moments only come the once
