Abbadon Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 Artist: Cream Album: Disraeli Gears Song: Tales of Brave Ulysses Lyrics: And you see a girl's brown body dancing through the turquoise, And her footprints make you follow where the sky loves the sea. And when your fingers find her, she drowns you in her body, Carving deep blue ripples in the tissues of your mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Camper Posted April 19, 2008 Report Share Posted April 19, 2008 Pink Floyd DSotM Time But you run and you run to catch up with the sun, but it's sinking Racing around to come up behind you again. The sun is the same, in a relative way but your older. Shorter of breath, and one day, closer to death Steve Walsh Schemer-Dreamer Every Step of the Way Well it's been 9 or 10 years since I started my ramblin round and from hand to mouth I was livin, playin every bar in town. Though a dollar a day didn't go too far, I could never deny my pride. I couldn't lay back and be taken care of, while the world went by outside. So I went to school to learn, but I didn't like what they teach. And I went to church to pray, but I didn't like what they preach. I was hot-headed, young and angry, and I felt I could take the heat. And I had to find out my own way, how to live out on the street. So I packed my bags and I left here, to peruse the streets alone. And I saw that side of midnight, where the beggars howled and groaned. Faces filled with desperation, where the future ain't so bright But I remember back in Kansas, when we sang this song at night Every Step........

grawk Posted May 28, 2008 Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 She's so beautifully broken You can barely see the flaw Especially from a distance Which is always how I fall Why do I fall for the dangerous ones The ones that never learned to let go And why do I lie to myself And pretend that I can break her When she's already been so Beautifully broken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dusty Chalk Posted August 12, 2008 Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 Artist: Joseph Arthur Song: Joseph Arthur- All of Our Hands Lpv - Free MP3 Stream on IMEEM Music@@AMEPARAM@@http://media.imeem.com/m/JRNVdKAK5w/aus=false/@@AMEPARAM@@JRNVdKAK5w Lyric:Until we feed the starving, blood is on all of our hands; Babylon is burning and there is no promised land; Until we clothe the naked, all of us are damned; Dreams are just for savages calling themselves men; And in time...fire will rain down on our head; The sky will open up and life will be bled.Also,We are all the same spirit, we are all the same love; And still somehow we've chosen to slaughter the white dove.And,Truth is just a word said to the ones who plead; What will we get back when we plant a poison seed? This is actually one of those songs that is absolutely powerful, lyrically, from beginning to end. Worth seeking out the entirety of the lyrics.

Knuckledragger Posted August 12, 2008 Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 M-W defines a sample as "an excerpt from a musical recording that is used in another artist's recording." Usually, samples are taken out of context of the original, and put to a different purpose. In this case, taking a verse from a song about madness, murder and revenge, and turning it into a reflection on isolation, loneliness and possibly lust. Artist: Diamond Head Album: Lightning to the Nations Song: Am I Evil? Lyric: I'll make my residence, I'll watch your fire You can come with me, sweet desire My face is long forgot, my face not my own Sweet and timely whore, take me home Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NightWoundsTime Posted August 25, 2008 Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 Artist: Bonnie 'Prince' Billy Album: I See A Darkness Song: Nomadic Reverie (All Around) o all around a left buttock and all around a right all around your every curve I'm going to go tonight but only hold me, hold me all the city's on me and all their wish to scold me and lay their hands upon me so only hold me, hold me and I'll return't you baby I just need an evening with someone nice to hide me Artist: Bonnie 'Prince' Billy Album: I See A Darkness Song: I See A Darkness we've shared our thoughts but did you ever, ever notice the kind of thoughts I got well you know I have a love a love for everyone I know and you know I have a drive to live I won't let go but can you see its opposition comes a-rising up sometimes that it's dreadful and position comes blacking in my mind and that I see a darkness And one more. Obviously this album means a lot to me. Speaking of black and darkness as a concept of depression: Artist: Bonnie 'Prince' Billy Album: I See A Darkness Song: Black So I thought I'd try to cut him Try to force him 'neath my level The only way to equal to him Would be hit him with a shovel But to really rise above him That would be the final evil So instead I asked the sucker If he'd care to see my rooms And as a friend and as a comrade And all the things that these implied I made him leave what it was that he had Used to keep us unallied But really, I'm alright.
