Songs with amazing lyrics thread!

Question

I'm always looking for some good songs with fun, clever, heart wrenching or just beautiful lyrics. (Doesn't have to apply all at once.) So why not make a thread about it! Please name a song and highlight the lyrics you especially like and/or explain why you enjoy them. (You don't have to do the latter if you don't want to but please do the former.)

I'll go first!

Blood from the Concrete by The Scary Jokes

[...]

Ooh, like, I get that trying to get affection from me
Is like trying to draw blood from the concrete
I'll prove that I can change
I'll rearrange my particles
Transform my heart into a tunnel over you

I don't know how I could get any lower, but
I can try my best for you, 'cause
If I can't be a good friend
Maybe I could be good pavement
I could be your highway
You can walk all over me

Against the Kitchen Floor by Will Wood

[...]

I still don't know who you are, I only know that I'm still lonely
That morbid sort where even company can't cure me
And the more you reassure, the less I trust
But still you gave me your heart, I only gave you my body
Honestly thought nobody'd want it, let alone notice it's gone
And so I left it home, but now, now, now, now

I keep a locket with a picture of the back of my head
Oh, monkey-wrench my side view mirrors, ghost my friends
I've lived more lives than enough, I haven't died quite as much
But I'm not a real person, just the shit you can't make up, and

This song perfectly encapsulates how hating yourself can hurt the people around you...

Company by Daisy The Great

[...]

They're about to ask you
Who do you wanna be?
What are you doing here?
Are you living a lie here?
What if you grow old and die here?

Eyes riddled with lies, telling you why you're alive
If I liked being alone, maybe I'd have some thoughts of my own

Where is the map to
I found it, I want you
To give me your company

It's just a matter of wait, what was I saying?
Do you wanna grab a drink?
Tell me the truth
If the truth means I'm better than I am in my head
I am in my head
I hate what I want
Because I can't have it
I want your company
I want your company

[...]

I like this song a lot because it plays with the word "company" both in the sense of a place where you work but also craving someones presence, friendship.

I recommend these artists in general, they all have so many good songs!

City Lights by Motionless in White Paralyzed by my envy of the night I am lost without you here And outside it looks like rain For the last time, I bleed myself dry tonight And nothing I could ever write would help you understand this life There's so much beauty when your eyes lay lost in all the city lights The wax will drip as so as blood Romance is dead and all is lust You are the water in my lungs We've lost it all Sinematic by Motionless in White Undress your body, hold it over my head Because you know that if you knock then I will always let you in I've been numb for so long that I forgot how to feel ...You never said you'd hurt me Now this is all that we have left You were supposed save me from myself ...Now the sky is on fire and we lie wide awake There is no other way than to make this mistake We can't control who we hurt, so we fuck the pain away So put all your pride, all your guilt into me And suck the breath from my lungs, I'll swallow your hate Piedmont by Destroy Boys Looks like I'm late for the party Everyone knows the attire but me Glass wall separates us Catch a glimpse into different books On different shelves Make room, please It feels like I'm floating Far from myself... ..Nostalgic for memories I haven't had I can't put my finger on it There are all these things, that I'll never know All these things that I'll never know Dead Flowers by Another Abyss I am still invisible to you even after all you put me through every step I take is enough for you to break I slowly fade away like the flowers on your grave, the flowers on your grave closer day by day until there's nothing left of me I slowly fade away Living In A Coffin by Lost Cherrees Be my guest, view my cell, grit and dust, private hell See the sights see them here, live in hope, die in fear I had hope when there was none, freedom called and then was gone Bricks enclose my private hell, be my guest, view my cell Eat Shit and Die by Harley Poe Hold onto life, 'cause you don't wanna die You're made for this, there is no reason to cry Do you fear death, may I ask why? Our days are number the moment we start In the end it all falls apart Each and every pointless work of art Do you have purpose or do you just cope? Why keep living if you never find hope? Keep hangin' in there, hang yourself from a rope Die young or grow old and see Kick and scream or go gracefully Too late if you can't, but it's your destiny I either relate to these or just find the lyrics cool and interesting.

You Know What They Do to Guys Like Us in Prison by My Chemical Romance [...] They all cheat at cards and the checkers are lost My cellmate's a killer, they make me do push-ups in drag But nobody cares if you're losing yourself Am I losing myself? Well, I miss my mom Will they give me the chair? Or lethal injection, or swing from a rope, if you dare? Nobody knows all the trouble I've seen Now, but I can't, and I don't know How we're just two men as God had made us Well, I can't, well, I can, yeah Too much, too late Or just not enough of this Pain in my heart for your dying wish I'll kiss your lips again [...] Bulletproof Love by Pierce the Veil [...] I wanna hold your hand so tight I'm gonna break my wrist And when the vultures sing tonight I'm gonna join right in I'll sing along 'Cause I don't know any other song Woah, oh no I'll sing along But I'm barely hanging on No, I'm barely hanging on By the time you're hearing this I'll already be gone And now there's nothing to do But scream at the drunken moon [...] Hell Above by Pierce the Veil [...] I met a girl who never looked so alone Like sugar water in your mouth lukewarm She tied a cherry stem for me with her tongue We fell in love and now we're both alone 'Cause I don't need any more friends And another kiss like a fire on pavement We'll burn it down to the end Oh, oh This is a wasteland, my only retreat With heaven above you, there's hell over me The water is rusted, the air is unclean And there for a second I feel free 'Cause this is a wasteland, my only retreat [...]

Doctor Whomst by Origami Angel [...] It's like a time machine just brought me there Wiped away my thoughts and cares And re-embraced the daylight there Or maybe, just maybe I think I'm starting to like myself I think I'm right where I need to be To be the best version of myself To be the version that I want you to see Oh, oh, oh, I feel like I found the secret I knew that I just can't keep it Bottled inside, I can no longer hide what I feel Every single goddamn day [...] I find these lyrics so motivating, like they describe the goal I should strive for Sixteen by Real Friends [...] The saddest part is I've been distant since I was sixteen It keeps me up in bed I'm stuck here with all the choices I've made  And the chances I was too afraid to take I've called myself young and stupid,  But lately I feel old and desperate I find it kind of weird how you find yourself  When you have no one I look for the right things in all the wrong places [...] And this is the polar opposite, has no right to hit that hard Hold Me Like A Grudge by Fall Out Boy [...] You put the "Fun," into dysfunction Hold me, hold me like a grudge The world is always spinning and I can't keep up Whoa, oh, oh, faster and faster Can't do it on my own Part-time soulmate, full-time problem, yeah So, hold me like a grudge [...] Just cool phrasing and word games
