I heard a cover of snow patrols "run" the other day and one verse stood out, stopped me in my tracks and raised the hairs on the back of my neck (I also think the composition of the song helped)

Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you dear

wondering if any of you other crazies out there have experienced similar song verses hitting you between the eyes or in the crown jewels?

 

Lyrics that hit you in the face? How about Combichrist's song "WTF is wrong with you?". This strikes an accord with me, a lot.

Intolerance,
self-glorified ignorance
It sucks you down with your face
pushed against the fence

Why don't you finish yourself
since you don't really care?
Let the screams in your head
be the last things you hear!
Just go..

Hey! You! What the fuck is wrong with you?

Part of me (part of me!)
Suffocates (suffocates!)
Intolerate (intolerate!)
No one is innocent
Experience (experience!)
Intolerance (intolerance!)
Familiar (familiar!)
Screaming faces
No one is innocent!

Hey! You! What the fuck is wrong with you?

Why don't you finish yourself,
since you don't really care?
Let the screams in your head
be the last things you hear!
Just go...

Hey! You! What the fuck is wrong with you?
Hey! You! What the fuck is wrong with you?
Hey! You! What the fuck is wrong with you?
Hey! You! What the fuck is wrong with you?

 

Or how about Skinny Puppy "Use Less"?

Are we alone?
Mission complete
To the unknown
This is a story
This is so sorry

Hard as a stone
Sunk in to deep
Run out of air
Lung full of heavy
It's feeling heavy

Room for one
Fossil to break
Labor of hate
Who are we fooling?
What are we doing?

In it on time
Proof in the meat
Time to consume
Doesn't concern me
Under a flag free

Are we all completely useless?
Are we? Are we?

End is unknown
Sick and alone
This is a dream
Meant as a nice thing
Meant as a nice thing

So pause at the end
Cause the effect
Shorten the pain
Time for reflection
On to regret them

Are we all completely useless?
Are we? Are we?
Are we all completely useless?
Are we? Are we?

 

And for dessert Bob Dylan's "Masters of War". I especially like the last two verses. Great, great song.

Come you masters of war
You that build all the guns
You that build the death planes
You that build the big bombs
You that hide behind walls
You that hide behind desks
I just want you to know
I can see through your masks

You that never done nothin’
But build to destroy
You play with our world
Like it’s your little toy
You put a gun in our hands
And you hide from our eyes
And you turn and run farther
When the fast bullets fly

Like the Judas of old
You lie and deceive
A world war can be won
You want me to believe
But I see through your eyes
And I see through your brain
Like I see through the water
That runs down my drain

You fasten the triggers
For the others to fire
Then you set back and watch
When the death count gets higher
You hide in your mansions
As young people’s blood
Flows out of their bodies
And is buried in the mud

You’ve thrown the worst fear
That can ever be hurled
Fear to bring children
Into this world
For threatening my baby
Unborn and unnamed
You ain’t worth the blood
That runs in your veins

How much do I know
To talk out of turn
You might say that I’m young
You might say I’m unlearned
But there’s one thing I know
Though I’m younger than you
Even Jesus would never
Forgive what you do

Let me ask you one question
Is your money that good
Will it buy you forgiveness
Do you think that it could
I think you will find
When your death takes its toll
All the money you made
Will never buy back your soul

And I hope that you die
And your death’ll come soon
I will follow your casket
In the pale afternoon
And I’ll watch while you’re lowered
Down to your deathbed
And I’ll stand over your grave
’Til I’m sure that you’re dead!

 

Its alright Ma, (I'm only bleeding) - Bob Dylan.
.....come on, dude....everybody knows that......he's the master of words!!

 

Incarceration of personality
Is the sad inception of self-denial.
The one that denies the inner self
Flees into deception.

Necrophagist - Ignominous and Pale

 

CLASSIC SHIT!!
ong: One Thing Leads to Another
Band: The Fixx
Album: 1989 Greatest Hits - The Fixx - Album

Lyrics:
The deception with tact, just what are you trying to say?
You've got a blank face, which irritates
Communicate, pull out your party piece
You see dimensions in two
State your case with black or white
But when one little cross leads to shots, grit your teeth
You run for cover so discreet, why don't they:

Do what they say, say what you mean
One thing leads to another
You told me something wrong, I know I listen too long
But then one thing leads to another.

The impression that you sell
Passes in and out like a scent
But the long face that you see comes from living close
To your fears
If this is up then I'm up but you're running out of sight
You've seen your name on the walls
And when one little bump leads to shock miss a beat
You run for cover and there's heat, why don't they:

Do what they say, say what they mean
One thing leads to another
You told me something wrong, I know I listen too long
But then one thing leads to another
One thing leads to another

Then it's easy to believe
Somebody's been lying to me
But when the wrong word goes in the right ear
I know you've been lying to me
It's getting rough, off the cuff I've got to say enough's enough

Bigger the harder he falls
But when the wrong antidote is like a bulge on the throat
You runs for cover in the heat why don't they

Do what they say, say what they mean
One thing leads to another
You tell me something wrong, I know I listen too long
But then one thing leads to another
One thing leads to another (Repeat)

haven't listened to the fixx for years, thanks for the re-up

 

Gonna have to go with my dude Rodriguez!
Dude's records are timeless.

The mayor hides the crime rate
council woman hesitates 
Public gets irate but forget the vote date 
Weatherman complaining, predicted sun, it's raining 
Everyone's protesting, boyfriend keeps suggesting you're not like all of the rest. 
Garbage ain't collected, women ain't protected 
Politicians using people, they've been abusing
The mafia's getting bigger, like pollution in the river
And you tell me that this is where it's at.
Woke up this moming with an ache in my head
Splashed on my clothes as I spilled out of bed 
Opened the window to listen to the news 
But all I heard was the Establishment's Blues.
Gun sales are soaring, housewives find life boring 
Divorce the only answer smoking causes cancer
This system's gonna fall soon, to an angry young tune 
And that's a concrete cold fact.
The pope digs population, freedom from taxation 
Teeny Bops are uptight, drinking at a stoplight
Miniskirt is flirting I can't stop so I'm hurting
Spinster sells her hopeless chest.
Adultery plays the kitchen, bigot cops non-fiction
The little man gets shafted, sons and monies drafted
Living by a time piece, new war in the far east.
Can you pass the Rorschach test?
It's a hassle is an educated guess.Well, frankly I couldn't care less.

 

Sorry for little bump here, but I thought since we all celebrate Christmas, these lyrics would be appropriate. Not actually related to Christmas, but for me soul-moving.

Denean, The Weaving, Eagle Fly:

Standing on the threshold of a brand new dawn
A world in which our children may grow wiser
Skies of blue, waters clear...and grass so green
Our earth will be healed, this is our dream

Upon the wind your spread your wings and fly
Through the mist we hear your haunting cry
But with the help from all our relations
We'll make a better day

Eagle fly...but don't fly away
Eagle fly...but please don't fly away

Don't fly away...
