Favorite Song Lyrics: Dark Side Edition!

[Lace Neil Singer]

The Intense Humming Of Evil - Manic Street Preachers

You were what you were
Clean cut, unbecoming
Recreation for the masses
You always mistook fists for flowers

Welcome welcome soldier smiling
Funeral march for agony's last edge

Six million screaming souls
Maybe misery - maybe nothing at all
Lives that wouldn't have changed a thing
Never counted - never mattered - never be

Arbeit macht frei
Transports of invalids
Hartheim Castle breathes us in
In block five we worship malaria

Lagerstrasse, poplar trees
Beauty lost, dignity gone
Rascher surveys us butcher bacteria

Welcome welcome soldier smiling
Soon infected, nails broken hunger's a word

Six million screaming souls
Maybe misery - maybe nothing at all
Lives that wouldn't have changed a thing
Never counted - never mattered - never be

Drink it away, every tear is false
Churchill no different
Wish the workers bled to a machine

[Jack T. Chance]

Sonata Arctica, "Paid In Full"

OK, as promised, here's some Sonata Arctica...

"Paid In Full" by Sonata Arctica

I was nowhere near ready when all it ended
So I hoped we could find a new day,
cannot live without you

You gave me the chance, time and again, in vain
Now my feelings for you, every tear, every smile, paid in full
Break the chain, but no longer can I take the pain

It's hard for me to love myself right now,
I've waited, hated, blamed it all on you

Needed to be strong, yet I was always too weak
So I can only blame myself for this state we are in
I will take what you have for me now, it's not too late
Did you change? I did too. Love can grow from the last grain

It's hard for me to love myself right now
I've waited, hated, blamed it all on...

You...
I need you... less and less...
Every day feeds this moral decay
Yet I have grown to love you even more

I fall back, and I turn another cheek
You mouth the words you're not ready to speak
You're scared of me now; no I never had a clue
that I'd become so much stronger than you

I will take what you have for me now, if it's not too late

If you like, I will leave; I will not miss the last train again

It's hard for me to love myself right now
I've waited, hated, blamed it all on you...

It's hard for me to love your face right now
I'm waiting, hating, needing being
me...
I need you... less and less...
Every day leads us farther away...
from that moment

It's hard for me to hate myself right now
Finally I'm understanding me
One day we may have all new me's and you's
But first I need to learn to love me too...

[Lace Neil Singer]

Manic Street Preachers have loads of lyrics for dark side. xD

Yes - Manic Street Preachers

For sale? Dumb cunts same dumb questions
Virgin? Listen, all virgins are liars, honey
And I don't know what I'm scared of or what I even enjoy
Dulling, get money, but nothing turns out like you want it to

And in these plagued streets of pity you can buy anything
For 200 anyone can conceive a God on video
He's a boy, you want a girl so tear off his cock
Tie his hair in bunches, fuck him, call him Rita if you want

I eat and I dress and I wash and I still can say thank you
Puking - shaking - sinking I still stand for old ladies
Can't shout, can't scream, hurt myself to get pain out

I 'T' them, 24:7, all year long
Purgatory's circle, drowning here, someone will always say yes
Funny place for the social, for the insects to start caring
Just an ambulance at the bottom of a cliff

And in these plagued streets of pity you can buy anything
For 200 anyone can conceive a God on video
He's a boy, you want a girl so tear off his cock
Tie his hair in bunches, fuck him, call him Rita if you want, if you want

I eat and I dress and I wash and I still can say thank you
Puking - shaking - sinking I still stand for old ladies
Can't shout, can't scream, hurt myself to get pain out

Power produces desire, the weak have none
There's no lust in this coma even for a fifty
Solitude, solitude, the 11th commandment

The only certain thing that is left about me
There's no part of my body that has not been used
Pity or pain, to show displeasure's shame
Everyone I've loved or hated always seems to leave

And in these plagued streets of pity you can buy anything
For 200 anyone can conceive a God on video
He's a boy, you want a girl so tear off his cock
Tie his hair in bunches, fuck him, call him Rita if you want, if you want

Power produces desire, the weak have none
There's no lust in this coma even for a fifty
Solitude, solitude, the 11th commandment

Don't hurt, just obey, lie down, do as they say
May as well be heaven this hell, smells the same
These sunless afternoons I can't find myself

[dmcglu82]

Very good song by Metallica

ONE

I Can't Remember Anything
Can't Tell If this Is True or Dream
Deep down Inside I Feel to Scream
this Terrible Silence Stops Me
Now That the War Is Through with Me
I'm Waking up I Can Not See
That There's Not Much Left of Me
Nothing Is Real but Pain Now

Hold My Breath as I Wish for Death
Oh Please God,wake Me

Back in the Womb its Much Too Real
in Pumps Life That I must Feel
but Can't Look Forward to Reveal
Look to the Time When I'll Live
Fed Through the Tube That Sticks in Me
Just like a Wartime Novelty
Tied to Machines That Make Me Be
Cut this Life off from Me

Hold My Breath as I Wish for Death
Oh Please God,wake Me

Now the World Is Gone I'm Just One
Oh God,help Me Hold My Breath as I Wish for Death
Oh Please God Help Me

Darkness

Imprisoning Me
All That I See
Absolute Horror
I Cannot Live
I Cannot Die
Trapped in Myself
Body My Holding Cell

Landmine

Has Taken My Sight
Taken My Speech
Taken My Hearing
Taken My Arms
Taken My Legs
Taken My Soul
Left Me with Life in Hell

[Lace Neil Singer]

The Nobodies - Marilyn Manson

Today I'm dirty
I want to to be pretty
Tomorrow I know, I'm just dirt
Today I'm dirty
I want to to be pretty
Tomorrow I know, I'm just dirt

We are the nobodies
Wanna be somebodies
When we're dead, they'll know just who we are
We are the nobodies
Wanna be somebodies
When we're dead, they'll know just who we are

Yesterday I was dirty
Wanted to be pretty
I know now that I'm forever dirt
Yesterday I was dirty
Wanted to be pretty
I know now that I'm forever dirt

We are the nobodies
Wanna be somebodies
When we're dead, they'll know just who we are
We are the nobodies
Wanna be somebodies
When we're dead, they'll know just who we are

Some children died the other day
We feed machines and then we pray
puked up and down in morbid faith
You should have seen the ratings that day
Some children died the other day
We fed machines and then we prayed
puked up and down in morbid faith
You should have seen the ratings that day

We are the nobodies
Wanna be somebodies
When we're dead, they'll know just who we are
We are the nobodies
Wanna be somebodies
When we're dead, they'll know just who we are
We are the nobodies
Wanna be somebodies
when we're dead, they'll know just who we are
We are the nobodies
Wanna be somebodies
When we're dead, they'll know just who we are

Clem Snide--Something Beautiful

You make me wanna
Stumble on pillows
Skin both my knees
You make me wanna
Put you inside my mouth so i can't say please

You make me wanna
Soak it in gasoline
Stain my new shirt
You make me wanna
Sip lysol from a cup
So clean it hurts

You make me wanna break
Break
Something beautiful

You make me wanna
Fold the map improperly
Locked in a stall
You make me wanna
Not turn the wipers on when
Rain starts to fall

You make me wanna
Smoke every cigarette
That's ever been made
You make me wanna
Make the rules up as i go
So no one can play

you make me wanna break
Break
Something beautiful

You make me wanna
Drink from the deepest well
Build towers of steel
You make me wanna
Cut down a million trees
Spin fiery wheels

You make me wanna
Block out the moonlight
Turn off the sun
You make me wanna
Fire off my cannon balls
Make the natives run

You make me wanna break
Break
Break
Break
Something beautiful

[Lace Neil Singer]

Get Your Gunn - Marilyn Manson

(God damn your righteous hand)

I eat innocent meat
The housewife I will beat
The prolife I will kill
What you won't do I will

I bash myself to sleep
What you sow I will reap
I scar myself you see
I wish I wasn't me

I am the little stick
You stir me into shit
I hate therefore I am
Goddamn your righteous hand

God damn (hoo, Lord...)
God damn (hoo, Lord...)
God damn (hoo, Lord...)
God damn (hoo, Lord...)

Pseudo-morals work real well
On the talk shows for the weak
selective judgement, good-guy badges
Don't mean a fuck to me

I throw a little fit
I slit my teenage wrist
most I can learn
Is records that you burn

Get your gunn
Get your gunn
Get your gunn
Get your gunn

Pseudo-morals work real well
On the talk shows for the weak
selective judgement, goodguy badges
Don't mean a fuck to me

Pseudo-morals work real well
on the talk shows for the weak
selective judgement, good-guy badges
don't mean a fuck to me

I am the VHS
Record me with your fist
Want me to save the world
I'm just a little girl

Pseudo-morals work real well
On the talk shows for the weak
selective judgement, good-guy badges
Don't mean a fuck to me

Pseudo-morals work real well
on the talk shows for the weak
selective judgement, good-guy badges
don't mean a fuck to me

Get your gunn
Get your gunn
Get your gunn
Get your gunn

Get!

[Jack T. Chance]

If I were ever lucky enough to be in a heavy metal band, this is most likely the song I would cover to end every show with. At first, you may ask why this is in the Dark Side Edition. All will become clear once you get to the second verse.

"Intro" by Staind

Thank you to the people in my life,
for putting up with me
And thank you for the times you sacrificed,
all on account of me

For all the times I didn't say!
The times I didn't say
For all the times I didn't say!
The times I didn't say

Fuck you to the jaded and the fake!
I'd like to see what you would do
Fuck you and the judgments that you make
We're not all perfect just like you,
like you, like you

For all the times I didn't say!
The times I didn't say
For all the times I didn't say!
The times I didn't say

The times I didn't say
The times I didn't say

Thank you to the people in my life,
for putting up with me

[Lace Neil Singer]

Inside - Stiltskin

Swing low in a dark glass hour
You turn and cower
See it turn to dust

Move on a stone dark night
We take to flight
Snowfall turns to rust

Seam in a fusing mine
Like a nursing rhyme
Fat man starts to fall

Year in a hostile place
I hear your face
Start to call

And if you think that I've been losing my way
That's because I'm slightly blinded,
And if you think that I don't make too much sense
That's because I'm broken minded
Don't keep it...
Inside
If you believe it
Don't keep it all inside

Strong words in a ganges sky
I have to lie
Shadows move in pairs

Ring out from the bruised postcard
In the shooting yard
Looking through the tears

Out on the black slate time
We move in line
But never reach an end

Fall in a long stray town
As the ice comes down
Rivers start to bend

And if you think that I've been losing my way
That's because I'm slightly blinded,
And if you think that I don't make too much sense
That's because I'm broken minded
Don't keep it...
Inside
If you believe it
Don't keep it all inside

[El Pollo Guerrera]

"Arriving Somewhere But Not Here" - Porcupine Tree, from the album "Deadwing"

Never stop the car on a drive in the dark
Never look for the truth in your mother's eyes
Never trust the sound of rain upon a river
Rushing through your ears

Arriving somewhere but not here

Did you imagine the final sound as a gun?
Or the smashing windscreen of a car?
Did you ever imagine the last thing you'd hear as you're fading out was a song?

All my designs, simplified
And all of my plans, compromised
All of my dreams, sacrificed

Ever had the feeling you've been here before?
Drinking down the poison the way you were taught
Every thought from here on in your life begins
And all you knew was wrong?

Did you see the red mist block your path?
Did the scissors cut a way to your heart?
Did you feel the envy for the sons of mothers tearing you apart?

[Lace Neil Singer]

My Friend Of Misery - Metallica

You just stood there screaming
Fearing no one was listening to you
They say the empty can rattles the most
The sound of your own voice must soothe you
Hearing only what you want to hear
And knowing only what you've heard
You, you're smothered in tragedy
And you're out to save the world

Misery
You insist that the weight of the world
Should be on your shoulders
Misery
There's much more to life than what you see
My friend of misery

You still stood there screaming
No-one caring about these words you tell
My friend before your voice is gone
One man's fun is another's hell
These times are said to try men's souls
But something's wrong with all you see
You, you'll take it on all yourself
Remember, misery loves company

Misery
You insist that the weight of the world
Should be on your shoulders
Misery
There's much more to life than what you see
My friend of misery

You just stood there screaming
My friend of misery

[Gawdzillers]

Hey, just posted this in the Song Name game!

No Leaf Clover - Metallica

Then it comes to be that the soothing light at the end of your tunnel
Is just a freight train coming your way

[Jack T. Chance]

Mandatory Metallica!!! \m/

Here's a couple more of my favorites from Metallica, classics from back when they were still AWESOME!

"Welcome Home (Sanitarium)" by Metallica

Welcome to where time stands still
No one leaves and no one will
Moon is full, never seems to change
Just labeled mentally deranged
Dream the same thing every night
I see our freedom in my sight
No locked doors, no windows barred
No things to make my brain seem scarred

Sleep my friend and you will see
that dream is my reality
They keep me locked up in this cage
Can't they see it's why my brain says rage?

Sanitarium, leave me be
Sanitarium, just leave me alone

Built my fear of what's out there
Cannot breathe the open air
Whisper things into my brain,
assuring me that I'm insane
They think our heads are in their hands,
but violent use brings violent plans
Keep him tied, it makes him well
He's getting better, can't you tell?

No more can they keep us in
Listen, damn it, we will win
They see it right, they see it well,
but they think this saves us from our hell

Sanitarium, leave me be
Sanitarium, just leave me alone
Sanitarium, just leave me alone!

Fear of living on
Natives getting restless now
Mutiny in the air
Got some death to do
Mirror stares back hard
Kill, it's such a friendly word
Seems the only way
for reaching out again

"...And Justice For All" by Metallica

Halls of justice painted green,
money talking
Power wolves beset your door,
hear them stalking
Soon you'll please their appetite,
they devour
Hammer of Justice crushes you,
overpower

The ultimate in vanity
Exploiting their supremacy
I can't believe the things you say
I can't believe,
I can't believe the price you pay
Nothing can save you

Justice is lost,
justice is raped,
justice is gone
Pulling your strings,
justice is done
Seeking no truth,
winning is all
Find it so grim,
so true, so real

Apathy their stepping stone,
so unfeeling
Hidden deep animosity,
so deceiving
Through your eyes their light burns,
hoping to find
Inquisition sinking you
with prying minds

The ultimate in vanity
Exploiting their supremacy
I can't believe the things you say
I can't believe,
I can't believe the price you pay
Nothing can save you

Justice is lost,
justice is raped,
justice is gone
Pulling your strings,
justice is done
Seeking no truth,
winning is all
Find it so grim,
so true, so real

Lady Justice has been raped
Truth assassin
Rolls of red tape seal your lips,
now you're done in
Their money tips her scales again,
make your deal
Just what is truth? I cannot tell,
cannot feel

The ultimate in vanity
Exploiting their supremacy
I can't believe the things you say
I can't believe,
I can't believe the price we pay
Nothing can save us

Justice is lost,
justice is raped,
justice is gone
Pulling your strings,
justice is done
Seeking no truth,
winning is all
Find it so grim,
so true, so real

Seeking no truth,
winning is all
Find it so grim,
so true, so real

[Jack T. Chance]

"The Way I Am" by Staind

I'm not really good at just paying attention
I'm not very good at remembering things that you say
I'm not very good at pursuing redemption
I'm not very good at concealing the hand that I play

It's the way I am, you'll never change
The way I am, or rearrange
The way I am, just let me be
The way I am, it's the way I am

I'm not really sure of the coming attractions
I'm not really sure of illusions we read on the wall
I'm not really sure of the preaching we practice
I'm not really sure if we'll notice it before we fall

It's the way I am, you'll never change
The way I am, or rearrange
The way I am, just let me be
The way I am, it's the way I am

Not very good at just paying attention
I'm not very good at remembering things
I'm not very good at pursuing redemption
I'm not very good at concealing the hand that I play
when I'm trying so hard just to beat you
I'm not really good at controlling my fate
I'm not really good at controlling my anger
I'm not really good at subduing my hate
I'm not really good
I'm not really good
I'm not really good

It's the way I am, you'll never change
The way I am, or rearrange
The way I am, just let me be
The way I am, it's the way I am

A very powerful little song about maintaining your uniqueness and individuality in a world that constantly pressures us to conform, and wants us to become one of the mindless sheep blindly following the rest of the herd. This is why I love Staind, Aaron Lewis and company are very much like me in the way that they think.

[Lace Neil Singer]

Boulevard Of Broken Dreams - Green Day

I walk a lonely road
The only one that I have ever known
Don't know where it goes
But It's home to me and I walk alone

I walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of broken dreams
When the city sleeps
And I'm the only one and I walk alone

I walk alone
I walk alone

I walk alone
I walk a...

My shadow's th' only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
Till then I walk alone

Ah-Ah Ah-Ah Ah-Ah Ahhh-Ah
Ah-Ah Ah-Ah Ah-Ah

I'm walking down the line
That divides me somewhere in my mind
On the border line of the edge
And where I walk alone

Read between the lines
What's fucked up and every thing's all right
Check my vital signs to know I'm still alive
And I walk alone

I walk alone
I walk alone

I walk alone
I walk a...

My shadow's th' only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish a someone out there will find me
Till then I walk alone

Ah-Ah Ah-Ah Ah-Ah Ahhh-Ah
Ah-Ah Ah-Ah Ah-Ah

I walk alone
I walk a...

I walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of broken dreams
When the city sleeps
And I'm the only one and I walk a...

My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
Till then I walk alone
