I'm not sure if this was already a thread or not, I seem to believe it was but I'm not going through all the pages to find it.

So post some of your favorite lyrics from some of your favorite bands.

To start us off:

"I don't get you
I can't forget what you've forgotten
all along
I've never been so alone

Don't Cry Out
Cease Fire

I was pretending
your secret kiss of confidence
was my escape
the perfect game to play..

Don't Cry Out
Cease Fire

ten nine eight and I'm breaking away
I'm all dressed up and I'm ready to play
seven six five four and I'm all over you
counting three two one and I'm having fun...

Your facination
with naked walls of silk and skin
with no conditions
I needed you to notice....
that's all I wanted

Don't Cry Out
Cease Fire

ten nine eight and I'm breaking away
I'm all dressed up and I'm ready to play
seven six five four and I'm all over you
counting three two one and I'm having fun...
x2"

-"Don't Cry Out" by Shiny Toy Guns

[Vyvian Blackthorne]

Great idea. There is though :o https://www.gothic.net/boards/showth...lyrics...still I shall say that my favourites are basically in everything from Virgin Prunes' IF I die...I die...Specifically pagan lovesong. Great idea for goth rock. 'I wanna steal your HEART! YOUR HEART!' Was nothing more than pure genius.

Goth Forever

Thanks for posting anyway even though it's already a thread.

Oops.

[Aaroneet]

hopelessly drift
in the eyes of the ghost again
down on my knees
and my hands in the air again
pushing my face in the memory of you again
but i never know if it's real
never know how i wanted to feel
never quite said what i wanted to say to you
never quite managed the words to explain to you
never quite knew how to make them believable
and now the time has gone
another time undone
hopelessly fighting the devil
futility
feeling the monster
climb deeper inside of me
feeling him gnawing my heart away
hungrily
i'll never lose this pain
never dream of you again

[Tha Duckman]

Anything by Casitone For The Painfully Alone, especially Casitone For The Painfully Alone Joins The Foreign Legion :

I should have known how this would end
You've stopped being my friend
Some things aren't worth mending
Some messages aren't worth unsending

The way you walked past the door
Oblivious to me writhing on the floor
From the pain that you inflicted
& all the pills that the doctor prescripted
They don't work anymore

It's not the point that I'm mad
You fucked me up pretty bad
But now it's all too late
You can forward my mail to the state
I joined the foreign legion

[Nevan]

Severed garden by The Doors - There's just something about the way Jim Morrison writes:

wow, im sick of doubt
live in the light of certain south, cruel bindings
the servants have the power
dogmen and their mean women
pulling poor blankets over our assailers

i'm sick of dour faces staring at me from the tv tower
i want roses in my garden bower, dig?
royal babies, rubies, must now replace aborted strangers in the mud
these mutants blood meal for the plant that's ploughed

they are waiting to take us into the severed garden
you know how pale and wanton, thrillful comes death
in the strange hour
unannounced, unplanned for
like a scary over-friendly guest you've brought to bed

death makes angels of us all and gives us wings
where we had shoulders smooth as ravens' claws

no more money, no more fancy dress
this other kingdom seems by far the best
until its other jaw reveals incest
and loose obedience to a vegetable law

i will not go
prefer a feast of friends to the giant family

[Circle V]

Flutter
-16 Horsepower

word by word
she spoke to me
hidden neath a mess of bygone linen
she listens as to dry a thousand tongues
my love is thin and thinning
some cherished flower
flutters through
gentleborn beloved you
kindness always
kindness always

i hear the sound
the sound she's left me
i stood her ground
no
they've swayed me

i hear the sound
the sound she's left me
i stood her ground
i hear the sound
the sound she's left me

wrapped tight
inside your shawl
we wander round this dingy hall
softly spoken
shaken tree
the ash grove we come to be
the blood run
the blood run away
from arm and leg to a warm heart
all our colors agree
in the dark

but no man lives upon that land
far enough for us to see
i hear your voice yeah
in the hum of this machine

i hear the sound
the sound you've left me
i stood her ground

i hear the sound
the sound she's left me

[Splintered]

Amon Amarth - Under The Northern Star

The icy winter is creeping near
Dark skies above us
Buting frost is in the air
Darkness surrounds us

The cold, piercing autumn breeze
Fills the longship sail
Soon the lakes and seas will freeze
And snow will lay its veil

Many years we've been away
The oceans we have roamed
Now the north star guides us on our way
As we are headed home

The many hardships we've endured
Have brought us rich reward
Now the north star guides us home
With cargo full of gold

Many friends died on the way
Only few of us survived
But I would gladly take their place
In Oden's hall up high

The icy winter is creeping near
Dark skies above us
Biting frost is in the air
Darkness surrounds us

Soon the lakes and seas will freeze
Snow will lay its veil
And we will long for the summer breeze
When we can set our sails

[Minyaliel]

I'll just post links to my top three...

Lou Reed - Venus in Furs (I've been obsessed with this song for ages)
Siouxsie and the Banshees - Happy House (Fascinating...)
Subway to Sally - "Feuerkind (mostly because I can relate to it)

[Cyntrox]

Aaah
Paper flowers
Aaah
Paper flowers

I linger in the doorway
Of alarm clock screaming monsters
Calling my name
Let me stay
Where the wind will whisper to me
Where the raindrops as they’re falling tell a story

In my field of paper flowers
And candy clouds of lullaby
I lie inside myself for hours
And watch my purple sky fly over me

Don’t say I’m out of touch
With this rampant chaos - your reality
I know well what lies beyond my sleeping refuge
The nightmare I built my own world to escape

In my field of paper flowers
And candy clouds of lullaby
I lie inside myself for hours
And watch my purple sky fly over me

Swallowed up in the sound of my screaming
Cannot cease for the fear of silent nights
Oh how I long for the deep sleep dreaming
The goddess of imaginary light

In my field of paper flowers
And candy clouds of lullaby
I lie inside myself for hours
And watch my purple sky fly over me

Aaah
Paper flowers
Aaah
Paper flowers


Just something from the top of my head.

[Haex]

"Everything Must Perish"

- Front Line Assembly

Through the smoke I see the trees
No one left for us to please
A perfect world where no one dies
Go to heaven with you lies

Wasted and confused
I walk around with a shortened fuse
A fire burns inside my head
Is this living or am I dead?
In my dreams I see the end
A perfect circle never bends
As time and hope erode our gears
I close my eyes for one last tear

Tomorrow may never come
Mountains clash in the sun
The freezing snow starts to melt
A quiet moment to myself
Reflecting somewhere in the past
I hope this feeling will always last
A paradise we stand alone
Forgotten king without a throne
A bird takes flight
Now out of sight
The sun catches its shadow

Above the air there is no despair
We are waiting for the moment

A darkened shadow hides my face
I hope I won't forget this place

This burning sky that we call home
In the end we stand alone
Come alive
Come alive
Breathe

[IsolatedReptile]

I've got to say cliche enough, my favorite is

"I came upon your room it snuck into my head,
we leapt into the bed degrading even lice,
she took delight in taking down my shielded pride,
until exposed became my darker side."
~Bauhaus, Dark Entries

My second favorite right now is most definitely Editors, Fingers In Factories.

"Easy said and easy done
Is how we like this
Keep us in our place

You're the night
The dirty night
That keeps us going
Nothing left to waste

Pull a sentence from your lips
to keep them quiet
what they want to hear

You're the night
The dirty night
That keeps us going
no one left to fear

As the sun goes down
On a broken down
And the fingers bleed
In the factories
Come on out tonight
Come and see the sight
Of the ones you love
And the ones in love
When you
Keep with me

Smile for once for a moment
It makes us happy
What we need is here

You're the night
The dirty night
You make us angry
theres everything to fear

As the sun goes down
On a broken down
And the fingers bleed
In the factories
Come on out tonight
Come and see the sight
Of the ones you love
And the ones in love
When you
Keep with me

As the sun goes down
On a broken down
And the fingers bleed
In the factories
Come on out tonight
Come and see the sight
Of the ones you love
And the ones in love
When you
Keep with me"

[Alaizabel Cray]

I absolutely love "Dancing Through Life", from the Wicked soundtrack. It's a long song so I'm just posting the beginning part because I like it best.

FIYERO
The trouble with school is
They always try to teach the wrong lesson
Believe me, I've been kicked out
Of enough of them to know
They want you to become less callow
Less shallow
But I say, why invite stress in?
Stop studying strife
And learn to live "the unexamined life"

Dancing through life
Skimming the surface
Gliding where turf is smooth
Life's more painless
For the brainless
Why think too hard?
When it's so soothing
Dancing through life
No need to tough it
When you can slough it off as I do
Nothing matters
But knowing nothing matters
It's just life
So keep dancing through

Dancing through life
Swaying and sweeping
And always keeping cool
Life is fraught-less
When you're thoughtless
Those who don't try
Never look foolish
Dancing through life
Mindless and careless
Make sure you're where less
Trouble is rife
Woes are fleeting
Blows are glancing
When you're dancing
Through life
(spoken) So - what's the most swankified place in town?

GALINDA
(spoken) That would be the Ozdust Ballroom.

FIYERO
(spoken) Sounds perfect!
(sung) Let's go down to the Ozdust Ballroom
We'll meet there later tonight
We can dance till it's light
Find the prettiest girl
Give 'er a whirl
Right on down to the Ozdust Ballroom
Come on - follow me
You'll be happy to be there

ALL
Dancing through life
Down at the Ozdust

FIYERO
If only because dust
Is what we come to

ALL
Nothing matters
But knowing nothing matters
It's just life

FIYERO
So keep dancing through

[Aaroneet]

To the centre of the city where all roads meet, waiting for you,
To the depths of the ocean where all hopes sank, searching for you,
I was moving through the silence without motion, waiting for you,
In a room with a window in the corner I found truth.

In the shadowplay, acting out your own death, knowing no more,
As the assassins all grouped in four lines, dancing on the floor,
And with cold streel, odour on their bodies made a move to connect,
But I could only stare in disbelief as the crowds all left.

I did everything, everything I wanted to,
I let them use you for their own ends,
To the centre of the city in the night, waiting for you.
To the centre of the city in the night, waiting for you.

[Crying_Crimson_Tears]

If you're leaving, leave the cigarettes.
You've already got the lighter and the keys.
She packs her boxes. He knows that she's serious
not by the look in her face but by the lack of rings.
Words lost their meanings long ago.
Right around the time when she let him know.
oh, oh, oh, oh

Chorus:
Have you ever heard a word?
(Rather be lonely in love, than alive with you and dead)
Have you ever heard a word?
(Hear me out this time)

There is algebra in gasoline.
Burning pictures, pages, and photographs.
Fire can make a conscience clean.
(Strike the match, we'll see)
Rolls the window down, calls his name and pulls away.
Rethinks every word he's said in disarray.
Watched their house burn and said in turn.
What made it home, drive away

(Chorus)

Where does one start
to pick up pieces
of a gasoline heart?
When all he has is driving away.

(Chorus)

[Metabolik]

'Slaves Shall Server' by Behemoth:

Father ov Terror!
Aba ol-Hol
enter the pylon
thru' the galleys ov past
catacombs ov night
into the starry womb

slay, slay!
Asar un-Nefer
we have no fear
our time had come
our will is done

dance, dance!
O Mighty One
in the fields ov Aqert
and spit
upon slaves ov death

War God!
trample all weakness
this is your day ov pride
draw Thy flaming sword
cut the umbilical cord
to set me free from eternal sleep

[lead: Seth]

...step by step
Khem: evolution: spiral vibration
can you hear?
can you touch?
can you see?
can you really see?

we charm all jins -
automata, inprinted realities
they creep like snakes
and all we feel
is painful bliss
as we burn forth
like winged globe
like solar disk...
...and penetrate eternity

[lead: Nergal]

Slaves shall serve!
Slaves shall serve!
Slaves shall serve!
Slaves shall serve!

Slaves shall serve!
Slaves shall serve!
Slaves . Shall . FU-CKING SERVE!

[Wormboy]

Sometimes I feel I've got to Run away
I've got to Get away
From the pain that you drive into the heart of me
The love we share
Seems to go nowhere
I've lost my lights
I toss and turn I can't sleep at night

Once I ran to you (I ran)
Now I'll run from you
This tainted love you've given
I give you all a boy could give you
Take my tears and that's not nearly all
Tainted love
Tainted love

Now I know I've got to Run away
I've got to Get away
You don't really want any more from me
To make things right
You need someone to hold you tight
You think love is to pray
But I'm sorry I don't pray that way

Once I ran to you (I ran)
Now I'll run from you
This tainted love you've given
I give you all a boy could give you
Take my tears and that's not nearly all
Tainted love
Tainted love

Don't touch me please
I cannot stand the way you tease
I love you though you hurt me so
Now I'm going to pack my things and go
Touch me baby, tainted love
Touch me baby, tainted love
Touch me baby, tainted love
*Touch me baby, tainted love*

Once I ran to you (I ran)
Now I'll run from you
This tainted love you've given
I give you all a boy could give you
Take my tears and that's not nearly all
Tainted love
Tainted love
Tainted love
*Tainted love*

New fave lyrics. Stone Sour-30/30-150

I am a dominant gene - live as I die
Never say forever 'cause forever's a lie
I can see right through it so I can't ignore you
The story changes but the ending will bore you.

I tried to tell you but you simply obeyed
They didn't listen so they threw you away

Now all you do is talk - I don't wanna hear your bullshit
Is this what you want?!

This is where it begins
This is where it ends
This is where it begins
And this is where it ends

They called us a dead generation,
They told us that we wouldn't survive
They left us alone in the maelstrom
As you can see we're all plenty alive
We know where you are and were coming
Let's see you say that shit to our face

30/30-150 Remembers
30/30-150 HATES

In my own peculiar way I feel mercurial
Before I get ahead of myself again
I know the where but I still don't know the when

You wanna live in a one-sided world
Be prepared for a whole world of hurt
Now with the grand facade
I don't want to be an angel
I just want to be GOD

They called us a dead generation,
They told us that we wouldn't survive
They left us alone in the maelstrom
As you can see we're all plenty alive
We know where you are and were coming
Let's see you say that shit to our face

30/30-150 Remembers
30/30-150 HATES (HATES)

OHHHHHHHH
I am a fucking machine fueled by the past
Memory's a memory until it's a fact
I can bury the hatchet and let some shit go
But I got too many grudges to hold!

Saw a lot of people die in the end
I never want to walk that road again
Now I will never give up
I don't want to have it all,
I JUST WANT TO HAVE ENOUGH

This is where it begins
This is where it ends
This is where it begins
And this is where it ends

They called us a dead generation,
They told us that we wouldn't survive
They left us alone in the maelstrom
As you can see we're all plenty alive
We know where you are and were coming
Let's see you say that shit to our face

30/30-150 Remembers
30/30-150 HATES

[Opteron_Man]

The Police "Can't Stand Losing You"

"I guess this is our last goodbye
And you don't care so I won't cry
But you'll be sorry when I'm dead
And all this guilt will be on your head"

[Aaroneet]

*song and lyrics by Depeche Mode

I feel you
Your sun it shines
I feel you
Within my mind
You take me there
You take me where
The kingdom comes
You take me to
And lead me through
Babylon

This is the morning of our love
It's just the dawning of our love

I feel you
Your heart it sings
I feel you
The joy it brings
Where heaven waits
Those golden gates
And back again
You take me to
And lead me through
Oblivion

This is the morning of our love
It's just the dawning of our love

I feel you
Your precious soul
And I am whole
I feel you
Your rising sun
My kingdom comes

I feel you
Each move you make
I feel you
Each breath you take
Where angels sing
And spread their wings
My love's on high
You take me home
To glory's throne
By and by

This is the morning of our love
It's just the dawning of our love

[Uncle Smoov]

You can all forget about your pseudo-dark and quasi-introspective static drivel. The Game is the only goth whose rimes I'd do anything more than spit upon and laugh at.

"So I walked over, heard Jam Master say,
'It's a hard knock life, then you pass away.'
They say sleep is the cousin of death,
so my eyes wide open,
Because a dream is kin to your last breath."

That's heavy devil shit on the plate here. Your garbage was written in Colorful Swirl Land compared to this mad dark poetry, which, if I have to spell it out for you, was written in the Great Pit itself.

[Death_Mask]

Out on the road there are fireflies circling
Deep in the woods, where the lost souls hide
Over the hill there are men returning
Trying to find some peace of mind

Sleep my child <i>[4x]

Under the fog there are shadows moving
Don't be afraid, hold my hand
Into the dark there are eyelids closing
Buried alive in the shifting sands
Sleep my child <i>[4x]

Speak to me now and the world will crumble
Open a door and the moon will fall
All of your life all your memories
Go to your dreams, forget it all
Sleep my child <i>[4x]

Opeth-Death whispered a lullaby. I always fall asleep when I listen to this song.

[Miss_Nobody]

"So Many People" by Neurosonic. They have AWESOME lyrics, don't they?


Everything under the sun
Going to hell in an episode of SNL
Busted on the TV
You ugly girl, you cannot sing, can't even lip sync
Apparently money can even buy you dignity
Everyone forget in a couple of days.
It doesn't matter what they say in the press, I guess
Am I the only one feeling the itch, 'cause they're
giving away the Billboard Award to some phony little...? *gasp*


So what would you know about how your song goes?
Just let that table roll


So many faces of so many people
Are covered in stupid and all they wanna do is get in
I know that your parents are brother and sister
It's idiot season, so let the hunting begin
Let the hunting begin (x4)



Since practice wasn't on the list, clearly talent doesn't exist
Maybe joking can buy you a set of bigger tits
Apologize to the world and admit that you were wrong
Who's dick you'd have to suck to get the Number One Song?


So what would you know about how your song goes?
Just let that table roll

So many faces of so many people
Are covered in stupid and all they wanna do is get in
I know that your parents are brother and sister
It's idiot season, so let the hunting begin
Let the hunting begin. (x4)



Well, who's this little girl who's got my elbow in her mouth
To keep the sound from coming out?
Said you're Daddy's Little Girl
Nobody knows
What we all know



So many faces of so many people
Are covered in stupid and all they wanna do is get in
I know that your parents are brother and sister
It's idiot season; let the hunting begin

I know that your parents are brother and sister
It's idiot season; let the hunting begin

So many faces of so many people
Are covered in stupid and all they wanna do is get in
I know that your parents are brother and sister
It's idiot season; let the hunting begin

I know that your parents are brother and sister
It's idiot season; let the hunting begin
