Hey Pedro.

What I like is lyrics written with heart, a good use of words to express a feeling with accuracy and portray a story that you can imagine easily in your head, the way it's sung is important too, I like uplifting lyrics a lot I must say. For exemple :



Artist: Colin Hay
Song: Beautiful world
Album: Going somewhere
Year: 2001
Genre: Singer-songwriter

Lyric:

My, my, my it's a beautiful world
I like swimming in the sea
I like to go out beyond the white breakers
Where a man can still be free (or a woman if you are one)
I like swimming in the sea

My, my, my it's a beautiful world
I like drinking Irish tea
With a little bit of Lapsang Souchong
I like making my own tea

My, my, my it's a beautiful world
I like driving in my car
Roll the top down, sometimes I travel quite far
Drive to the ocean and stare up at the stars
I like driving in my car

All around is anger
Automatic guns
Death in large numbers
And no respect for women or our little ones
I tried talking to Jesus
But he just put me on hold
Said he'd been swamped by calls this week
And he could not shake his cold

And still this emptiness persists
Perhaps this is as good as it gets
When you've given up the drink
And those nasty cigarettes
Now I leave the party early, at least with no regrets
I watch the sun as it comes up, I watch it as it sets
Yeah, this is as good as it gets

My, my, my it's a beautiful world
I like sleeping with Marie
She is one sexy girl full of mystery
She says she doesn't love me
But she likes my company
For now that's good enough for me

My, my, my it's a beautiful world
I like swimming in the sea
I like to go out beyond the white breakers
Where a man can still be free (or a woman if you are one)
I like swimming in the sea
Yeah


These are some very uplifting and very optimistic lyrics, they are supposed to cheers you up.

yeah i know what you mean and i totaly agree with, for me i like lyrics that are written with the heart and there is a message in it or a story that can help you to go through everythings

Lyric:

[Intro]
Aww, look at daddy's baby girl
That's daddy's baby, little sleepy head
Yesterday I changed your diaper wiped you and powdered you
How did you get so big, can't believe it now you're two
Baby you're so precious, daddy's so proud of you
Sit down bitch, you move again I'll beat the shit out of you (Okay)

[Verse 1]
Don't make me wake this baby, she don't need to see what I'm bout to do
Quit crying bitch, why do you always make me shout at you
How could you just leave me and love him out the blue
Oh, what's the matter Kim, am I too loud for you
Too bad bitch, you're gonna finally hear me out this time
At first, I'm like aight, you wanna throw me out, that's fine
But not for him to take my place, are you out your mind
This couch, this TV, this whole house is mine
How could you let him sleep in our bed look it Kim
Look at your husband now (No) I said look at him
He ain't so hot now, is he little punk
(Why are you doing this?) Shut the fuck up!
(You're drunk, you're never gonna get away with this)
You think I give a fuck? Come on we're going for a ride bitch (No)
Sit up front (We can't just leave Hailie alone, what if she wakes up)
We'll be right back, well I will you'll be in the trunk

[Hook]
So long, bitch you did me so wrong
I don't wanna go on, living in this world without you

[Verse 2]
You really fucked me Kim, you really did a number on me
Never knew me cheatin' on you would come back to haunt me
But we was kids then Kim, I was only eighteen, that was years ago
I thought we wiped the slate clean, that's fucked up
(I love you) Oh God, my brain is racing
(I love you) What are you doing? Change the station
I hate this song, does this look like a big joke? (No)
There's a [four] year-old little [boy] laying dead with a slit throat
In your living room, ha-ha, what, you think I'm kidding you?
You loved him didn't you (No)
Bullshit you bitch don't fucking lie to me
What the fuck's this guy's problem on the side of me?
Fuck you asshole, yeah, bite me
Kim, Kim! Why don't you like me? You think I'm ugly, don't you?
(It's not that) No, you think I'm ugly (Baby)
Get the fuck away from me, don't touch me
I hate you, I hate you, I swear God, I hate you, oh my God, I love you
How the fuck could you do this to me (I'm sorry)
How the fuck could you do this to me

[Hook]

[Verse 3]
Come on get out (I can't, I'm scared)
I said get out bitch (Let go of my hair)
(Please don't do this baby, please I love you)
(Look, we can just take Hailie and leave)
Fuck you! You did this to us, you did it, it's your fault
Oh my God, I'm cracking up, get a grip Marshall
Hey remember the time we went to Brian's party
And you were like so drunk that you threw up all over Archie
That was funny, wasn't it? (Yes)
That was funny, wasn't it? (Yes)
See it all makes sense, doesn't it?
You and your husband have a fight, one of you tries to grab a knife
And during the struggle he accidentally gets his Adam's apple sliced (No)
And while this is going on, his son just woke up and he walks in
She panics and he gets his throat cut (Oh my God)
So now they both dead and you slash your own throat
So now it's double homicide and suicide with no note
I should've known better when you started to act weird
We coulda...hey, where you going? Get back here
You can't run from me Kim, it's just us, nobody else
You're only making this harder on yourself
Ha-ha, got ya, go ahead, yell
Here I'll scream with you, ah, somebody help!
Don't you get it bitch, no one can hear you
Now shut the fuck up and get what's coming to you
You were supposed to love me
Now bleed bitch, bleed!! Bleed bitch, bleed!! Bleed!!

The catharsis is very strong in this one, this love/hate relationship is too.

Artist: Nine inch nails
Song: Something I can never have
Album: Pretty Hate Machine
Year: 1989
Genre: Industrial/Rock

Lyric:

I still recall the taste of your tears.
Echoing your voice just like the ringing in my ears.
My favorite dreams of you still wash ashore.
Scraping through my head 'till I don't want to sleep anymore.

[Chorus:]
You make this all go away.
You make this all go away.
I'm down to just one thing.
And I'm starting to scare myself.
You make this all go away.
You make this all go away.
I just want something.
I just want something I can never have

You always were the one to show me how
Back then I couldn't do the things that I can do now.
This thing is slowly taking me apart.
Grey would be the color if I had a heart.

Come on tell me

[Chorus]

In this place it seems like such a shame.
Though it all looks different now,
I know it's still the same
Everywhere I look you're all I see.
Just a fading fucking reminder of who I used to be.

Come on tell me

[Chorus]

I just want something I can never have

Artist: a-ha
Song: Stay On These Roads
Album: Stay on These Roads
Year: 1988
Genre: New Wave, synthpop

Lyric:

The cold has a voice
It talks to me
Stillborn by choice
It airs no need
To hold.

Old man feels the cold
Oh baby don't
'cause I've been told
Stay on thes roads
We shall meet, I know
Stay on my love
We shall meet, I know
I know

Where join should reign
These skies restrain
"Shadow your love"
The voice trails off again

Old man feels the cold
Oh baby don't
'cause I've been told
Stay on these roads
We shall meet, I know
Stay on...my love
You feel so weak, be strong
Stay on, stay on
We shall meet, I know
I know


The more I listen to this song and this chorus the more I want a power metal reprise, that could totally be amazing.

Lyrics:

Yeah, you still kiss me, but it's just on the cheek
Yeah, you still kiss me, but it's just on the cheek
Yeah, you still kiss me sometimes, but it's just on the cheek
You pull away so easily

And I still call you, but I get your machine
And I still call you, but I get your machine
And if I'm lucky I guess, I get your roommate answering
But you're at the bar, or at Gene's

And we go to dinner, but you won't hold my hand
We sit at the same table, but we don't play with our feet
Yeah, we still go to dinner sometimes, but we don't sneak a kiss
When the waitress turns around

And we still watch movies, but we don't share the couch
And we still rent movies, but we don't share the couch
Yeah, we still watch movies sometimes, but you don't lay in my lap
The plot is slow, take a nap

And you even stay over, but now we stay in our clothes
Yeah, you'll even sleep over, but now we stay in our clothes
Yeah, you even sleep over sometimes, but we stay in our clothes
I'm only there so that you're not alone

And you say that I hurt you, in a voice like a prayer
Yeah, you say that I've hurt you, and your voice is like a prayer
Yeah, well maybe I hurt you sometimes, but let's contrast and compare
Lift up your shirt, the wound isn't there

I guess that your truth, is just the ghost of your lies
I guess your kind of truth, is just the ghost of your lies
Yeah, your kind of truth, darling, is just the ghost of your lies
I see through them all the time
So I'm pouring some whiskey, I'm gonna get drunk
Yeah, I'm pouring myself some whiskey, I'm going to get really fucking drunk
I'm pouring some whiskey right now, I'm going to get so, so drunk
That I pass out, forget your face, by the time I wake up.

Right in the feels.

Lyrics:

I can still remember
The look within your eyes
I will never understand
I will never, ever realize
Why did you leave me?
Why did you throw my love away?
And Baby I dream about you
Every night and every day

CH:
So long, farewell
Maybe we'll meet another day
Hold on, be strong
Last night I heard you say
So long, farewell
I will be moving on tonight
And say goodbye to love, oh

Baby where did I go wrong
I thought my love would be so strong
But You left me on my own, yeah
I keep searching night and day
Hope that you will cross my way
So I will see you once again, oh yeah
And why can't you come back?
Maybe we can try it all again, oh
Oh babe I long for you, honey
Every heartbeat on the way

CH:
So long, farewell
Maybe we'll meet another day
Hold on, be strong
Last night I heard you say
So long, farewell
I am moving on tonight
And say goodbye to love

Sugar, when you left me
You took a part of my heart
But I guess you have thrown it all away

CH:
So long, farewell
Maybe we'll meet another day
Hold on, be strong
So long, farewell
I am moving on tonight
Hold on, be brave
And say goodbye to love

I invit anyone who comes into this thread to listen to this song as it's always nice to listen to some unusual stuff, and here I'm talking about the chorus sung in a falsetto voice, knowing that this song was made by ' having fun ' is also incredible.

Lyrics:

Don't tell me it's the end of everything
It always seems the darkest before the light
So fragile and breaking apart
Finding solace in the knowledge of what's right
All that's holy, sacred and divine
Guarding over all within its sight

Embracing with all of your heart
Give me your body and your soul
In greatness take all in your stride
Lend your courage to the task, to the masses hope and pride

Don't tell me it's the end of everything
It always seems the darkest before the light

You're changing and biding your time
All the while you're praying you'll be saved
You're hiding your beautiful mind
Unaware of what it means to embrace it and defend

So don't tell me it's the end of everything
It always seems the darkest before the light

Don't tell me it's the end of everything
It always seems the darkest before the light
The glory in the epic of life
Comforting, ensuring it survives

And don't tell me it's the end of everything
It always seems the darkest before the light
Embracing with all of your heart
Give me your body and your soul
In greatness take all in your stride
Lend your courage to the task, to the masses hope and pride

Don't tell me it's the end of everything
It always seems the darkest before the light

It always seems the darkest before the light

These guys never cease to amaze me.
