Over in the notable quotables thread, we started sharing lyrics, but we all posted so many I figured we should have a thread over here for our favorite or most memorable lyrics!

Fiona Apple, Sleep to Dream

I got my feet on the ground 
And I don't go to sleep to dream 
You got your head in the clouds 
And you're not at all what you seem 
This mind, this body 
And this voice cannot be stifled by your deviant ways 
So don't forget what I told you 
Don't come around, I got my own hell to raise 

Fiona Apple, Fast As You Can

Sometimes my mind don't shake and shift 
But most of the time, it does 
And I get to the place where I'm begging for a lift 
Or I'll drown in the wonders and the was 
And I'll be your girl, if you say it's a gift 
And you give me some more of your drugs 
Yeah, I'll be your pet, if you just tell me it's a gift 
'cause I'm tired of whys, choking on whys, 
Just need a little because, because 

Fiona Apple, Paper Bag

Hunger hurts,
and I want him so bad, oh it kills 
'cause I know I'm a mess he don't wanna clean up 
I got to fold 'cause these hands are too shaky to hold 
Hunger hurts, but starving works,
when it costs too much to love 

And I went crazy again today,
looking for a strand to climb 
Looking for a little hope 

Fiona Apple, Limp

You want the badge of honor when you save my hide
But you're the one in the way
Of the day of doom, baby
If you need my shame to reclaim your pride
And when I think of it, my fingers turn to fists
I never did anything to you, man
But no matter what I try
You'll beat me with your bitter lies
So call me crazy, hold me down
Make me cry; got off now, baby-
It wont be long till you'll be
Lying limp in your own hand
You feed the beast I have within me
You wave the red flag, baby you make it run run run
Standing on the sidelines, waving and grinning
You fondle my trigger, then you blame my gun

Fiona Apple, Not About Love

This is not about love
'Cause I am not in love
In fact I can't stop falling out
I miss that stupid ache

Fiona Applle, Never is a promise

You'll never touch - these things that I hold 
The skin of my emotions lies beneath my own 
You'll never feel the heat of this soul 
My fever burns me deeper than I've ever shown - to you 
You'll say, Don't fear your dreams, it's easier than it seems 
You'll say you'd never let me fall from hopes so high 
But never is a promise and you can't afford to lie 
You'll never live the life that I live 
I'll never live the life that wakes me in the night 
You'll never hear the message I give 
You'll say it looks as though I might give up this fight 
But as the scenery grows, I see in different lights 
The shades and shadows undulate in my perception 
My feelings swell and stretch, I see from greater heights 
I realize what I am now too smart to mention - to you 

Sorry, am on a Fiona Apple binge tonight- makes me feel brave when I'm coming down after being triggered.

So close, no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
And nothing else matters

never cared for what they say
never cared for games they play
never cared for what they do
never cared for what they know
and I know

-Metallica

Ooo, Lori, i know someone that that was the song for their first dance for their wedding!

 

and my favorite love song/Metallica song:

Lay beside me, tell me what they've done
Speak the words I wanna hear, to make my demons run
The door is locked now, but it's opened if you're true
If you can understand the me, then I can understand the you
Lay beside me, under wicked sky
Black of day, dark of night, we share this pair of lives
The door cracks open, but there's no sun shining through
Black heart scarring darker still, but there's no sun shining through
No, there's no sun shining through
No, there's no sun shining
What I've felt, what I've known
Turn the pages, just turn to stone
Behind the door, should I open it for you?
Yeah
What I've felt, what I've known
Sick and tired, I stand alone
Could you be there, 'cause I'm the one who waits for you
Or are you unforgiven too?
Come lay beside me, this won't hurt I swear
She loves me not, she loves me still, but she'll never love again
She lay beside me, but she'll be there when I'm gone
Black heart scarring darker still, yes she'll be there when I'm gone
Yes she'll be there when I'm gone
Dead sure she'll be there
Lay beside me, tell me what I've done
The door is closed, so are your eyes
But now I see the sun, now I see the sun
Yes, now I see it
Oh, what I've felt, what I've known
Turn the pages, just turn to stone
Behind the door, should I open it for you
Oh, what I've felt
Oh, what I've known
I take this key (never free)
And I bury it (never me) in you
Because you're unforgiven too!

- Metallica, Unforgiven II

Sarah McLachlan, Fear:

Morning smiles 
Like the face of a newborn child 
Innocent unknowing 
Winter's end 
Promises of a long lost friend 
Speaks to me of comfort 

But I fear 
I have nothing to give 
I have so much to lose 
Here in this lonely place 
Tangled up in our embrace 
There's nothing I'd like 
Better than to fall 
But I fear I have nothing to give 

Wind in time 
Rapes the flower trembling on the vine 
Nothing yields to shelter it 
From above 
They say temptation will destroy our love 
The never ending hunger 

Path of Thorns (aka Terms of Endearment), Sarah McLachlan

Through the years I've grown to love you
Though your commitment to most would offend
But I stuck by you holding on with my foolish pride
Waiting for you to give in...
You never really tried or so it seems
I've had more than myself to blame
I've had enough of trying everything
And this time it is the end...

Ice, Sarah McLachlan

I think you worried for me then
the subtle ways that I'd give in but I know
you liked the show
tied down to this bed of shame
you tried to move around the pain but oh
your soul is anchored
The only comfort is the moving of the river
You enter into me, a lie upon your lips
offer what you can, I'll take all that I can get
only a fool's here...

Fumbling Towards Ecstasy, Sarah McLachlan

All the fear has left me now
I'm not frightened anymore
It's my heart that pounds beneath my flesh
it's my mouth that pushes out this breath
and if I shed a tear I won't cage it
I won't fear love
and if I feel a rage I won't deny it
I won't fear love

This is my personal AS song.....

 

"The Hardest Part" by Coldplay

And the hardest part
Was letting go, not taking part
Was the hardest part

And the strangest thing
Was waiting for that bell to ring
It was the strangest start

I could feel it go down
Bittersweet, I could taste in my mouth
Silver lining the cloud
Oh and I
I wish that I could work it out

And the hardest part
Was letting go, not taking part
You really broke my heart

And I tried to sing
But I couldn’t think of anything
And that was the hardest part

I could feel it go down
You left the sweetest taste in my mouth
You're a silver lining the clouds
Oh and I
Oh and I
I wonder what it’s all about
I wonder what it’s all about

Everything I know is wrong
Everything I do, it's just comes undone
And everything is torn apart

Oh and it’s the hardest part
That’s the hardest part
Yeah that’s the hardest part
That’s the hardest part

What great lyrics you guys posted!! :D

"Whataya Want from Me" by Adam Lambert (I interpret this song being about how I, as an autistic individual, relate to society)

Hey, slow it down!

Whataya want from me?

Whataya want from me?

Yeah, I'm afraid

Whataya want from me?

Whataya want from me?

There might have been a time when I would give myself away

Oh once upon a time

I didn't give a damn

But now here we are

So whataya want from me?

Whataya want from me?

 

Just don't give up

I'm working it out

Please don't give in

I won't let you down

It messed me up

Need a second to breathe

Just keep coming around, hey

Whataya want from me?

Whataya want from me?

Whataya want from me?

 

Yeah, it's plain to see

Baby, you're beautiful

And there's nothing wrong with you

It's me, I'm a freak

But thanks for loving me

'Cause you're doing it perfectly

Yeah there might have been a time when I would let you slip away

I wouldn't even try

But I think you could save my life

 

Just don't give up

I'm working it out

Please don't give in

I won't let you down

It messed me up

Need a second to breathe

Just keep coming around, hey

Whataya want from me?

Whataya want from me?

Whataya want from me?

 

Just don't give up on me

I won't let you down

No, I won't let you down

 

Just don't give up

I'm working it out

Please don't give in

I won't let you down

It messed me up

Need a second to breathe

Just keep coming around, hey

Whataya want from me?

Just don't give up

I'm working it out

Please don't give in

I won't let you down

It messed me up

Need a second to breathe

Just keep coming around, hey

Whataya want from me?

Whataya want from me?

Whataya want from me?
