The awesome lyrics/lines thread

[aparadoxindeed]

Any nevermore song ever

but a specific example from "This godless endeavor"

We contemplate oblivion as we resonate our dissonance
In godless random interpretation
The universe still expands, mankind still can’t understand
How to define you, so hide your face and watch us exterminate ourselves over you
Welcome to the end my friend, the sky has opened

Yea!  I love this part as well... the lyrics on that song are great!

[LieLowTheWantedMan]

Like a kiss, soft, and wild with the delicate steps of petals fallen in a stream
This swirling ballerina turns in faint and sighing grandeur
Across the floor to me.
A monarch plays the violin to a summer's afternoon
Whilst quietly the earthworm adores the soil in winter's sparkling gloom
It breaks away, growing as the flowers do.

A thunderhead embraces his enraptured lover
And kisses with a gale that also makes the cattails shudder.
His tears cannot, as he proclaims his love, be held with lightning back;
They fondly dance into an open window
And fondly dance with mine.

Our eyelashes weaken with a weight that is sweet and fine,
And this feels like frogs and spiders in the sweet outside.
Tell me why world, unfathomable and good,
The beauty of everything is infinite and cruel.

An airplane, a puppet, an orange, a spoon,
A window, and outside
Stars and the moon.

Marathon - Kayo Dot

Dream Theater - Voices

I'm kneeling on the floor
staring at the wall
like the spider in the window
I wish that I could speak
Is there fantasy in refuge?
God in politicians?
Should I turn on my religion?
These demons in my head tell me to

Everything off Ys by Joanna Newsom are the best lyrics ever written.

The Ocean - She Was The Universe

Oh Lord, I lack the strength
To turn and leave you
There's no confidence
In my hesitation

Bump for Bright Eyes:

"Well, I awoke in relief.
My sheets and tubes were all tangled
Weak from whiskey and pills,
In a Chicago hospital.
And my father was there,
In a chair by the window,
Staring so far away.
I tried talking,
Just whispered,
"...so sorry...so selfish.."
He stopped me and said,
"Child I love you regardless
And there is nothing you could do
That would ever change this.
I'm not angry.
It happens.
But you just can't do it again."
And so now I try to keep up,
I’ve been exchanging my currency.
While a million objects
Pass through my periphery.
Now I’m rubbing my eyes
Cause they’re starting to bother me.
I’ve been staring too long at the screen.
But where was it when I first heard
That sweet sound of humility?
It came to my ears
In the goddamn loveliest melody.
How grateful I was then
To be part of the mystery,
To love and to be loved.
Let's just hope that is enough."

"Everything in its right place.
Yesterday I woke up sucking a lemon"

"Who's in a bunker, who's in a bunker.
Women and children first, and the children first, and the children.
I laugh until my head comes off.
I swallow 'till I burst, until I burst, until I"

"No matter what happens now
You shouldn't be afraid
Because I know today has been
The most perfect day I've ever seen"

"One day, I am gonna grow wings
A chemical reaction
Hysterical and useless
Hysterical and"

"When I hear the engine pass
I'm kissing you wide
The hissing subsides
I'm in luck

When the evening reaches here
You're tying me up
I'm dying of love
It's OK"

"I won't shiver in the cold
I won't let the shadows take their toll
I won't cover my head in the dark
And I won't forget you when we part
Collapse the light into earth"

"A drop in the ocean
A significant motion
Nothing melts in this cold
But Russia on ice is burning a hole"

"I am not the picture now
I am the frame"

"Maybe it's time to stop swimming
Maybe it's time to find out where I'm at
What I should do and where I should be
But no-one will give me a map"
