Favorite Song Lyrics: Dark Side Edition!

[Jack T. Chance]

"Crucified"...

Brand-new Disturbed, and a very timely song, at that. The lyrics mirror EXACTLY what I'm feeling right now.

"Crucified" by Disturbed

When others left before,
I could bear to turn away
Now that it's come to this,
is there nothing left to say?
I've never known before
such exquisite suffering
As I watched you walk away,
I gave in to panicking

I can't believe that
this is really happening
Have I really lost again?
Desperation drives me insane

I will focus all the pain
right into your heart…

'Til it makes you blind,
'til the faces of your former world
have fallen from your sight
'Til you're mine,
until the voice of doubt
no longer dominates your mind,
I'm crucified

Cold and unwhole again,
crying out and questioning
Will I ever love again?
What's the point of anything?
It takes a toll again,
this is where the fun begins
Visions haunt me through the night,
now I'm dying for your sins

I can't believe that,
if you looked me in the face,
you could say there's nothing left
How the silence drives me insane

I will focus all my pain
right into your heart…

'Til it makes you blind,
'til the faces of your former world
have fallen from your sight
'Til you're mine,
until the voice of doubt
no longer dominates your mind,
I'm crucified

I cannot feel anything,
anger, I've been harboring
You've nailed me to the cross,
upon it I will remain
I can't feel anything,
rage inside is festering
You've nailed me to the cross,
upon it I will remain!

I will focus all my pain
right into your heart…

'Til it makes you blind,
'til the faces of your former world
have fallen from your sight
'Til you're mine,
until the voice of doubt
no longer dominates your mind,
I'm crucified

'Til it makes you blind,
'til the faces of your former world
have fallen from your sight
(I’m crucified)
'Til you're mine,
until the voice of doubt
no longer dominates your mind,
I'm crucified

[Jack T. Chance]

"Excess Baggage"

This song has been something of a personal theme song for me ever since it came out... speaks a lot to my experiences in this life...

"Excess Baggage" by Staind

Well I know the words,
but I can't really speak them
to you
And I hide all the pain
that I've gained with my wisdom
from you
And I'm eaten alive
by what I hold inside
All the things that I live with,
I can't easily hide

And I'm left here with nothing,
nothing to live for,
but you

It's not easy to hide
all this damage inside
And I'll carry it with me
until I'm not alive

When you look at my face,
does it seem just as ugly
to you?
I can't seem to erase
all the scars I have lived with
from you
I'm so sick of this place
and this taste in my mouth
'Cause of you I can't figure
what I'm all about

And I'm left here with nothing,
nothing to live for,
but you

It's not easy to hide
all this damage inside
But I'll carry it with me
'til I'm not alive

Mikey got with Sharon, Sharon got Cherise
As she was sharin' Sharon's outlook on the topic of disease
Mikey had a facial scar and Bobby was a racist
They were all in love with dying, they were doing it in Texas
Tommy played piano like a kid out in the rain
And then he lost his leg in Dallas, he was dancing with a train

They were all in love with dying
They were drinking from a fountain
That was pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain

I don't mind the sun sometimes, the images it shows
I can taste you on my lips and smell you in my clothes
Cinnamon and sugary and softly spoken lies
You never know just how to look through other people's eyes

Some will die in hot pursuit in fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit while sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life and drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche, coming down the mountain

I don't mind the sun sometimes, the images it shows
I can taste you on my lips and smell you in my clothes
Cinnamon and sugary and softly spoken lies
You never know just how you look through other people's eyes

Another Mikey took a knife while arguing in traffic
Flipper died a natural death he caught a nasty virus
Then there was the ever present football-player rapist
They were all in love with dying, they were doing it in Texas
Paulie caught a bullet but it only hit his leg
While it should've been a better shot, got him in the head

They were all in love with dying
They were drinking from a fountain
That was pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain

I don't mind the sun sometimes, the images it shows
I can taste you on my lips and smell you in my clothes
Cinnamon and sugary and softly spoken lies
You never know just how you look through other people's eyes

Man, this thread is perfect for me. I make entire PLAYLISTS of dark, depressing-as-hell songs.

This one creeps me out. You could take it as not dark, I suppose, but I don't see how. It doesn't help that one of my first introductions to it involved this video: HP Fan Video involving Harry, Hermione, and Ron It sounds very much like he's stalking her and wants to hurt her.

She Wants Revenge: "Tear You Apart"

Got a big plan, his mind's set, maybe it's right
At the right place and right time, maybe tonight
In a whisper or handshake sending a sign
Wanna make out and kiss hard, wait never mind

Late night, in passing, mention it flip to her
Best friend, it's no thing, maybe it slipped
but the slip turns to terror and a crush to like
when she walked in he froze up, leave it to fright

It's cute in a way, till you cannot speak
And you leave to have a cigarette, knees get weak
escape was just a nod and a casual wave
Obsess about it, heavy for the next two days

It's only just a crush, it'll go away
It's just like all the others it'll go away
Or maybe this is danger and you just don't know
You pray it all away but it continues to grow

I want to hold you close
Skin pressed against me tight
Lie still, and close your eyes girl
So lovely, it feels so right

I want to hold you close
Soft breath, beating heart
As I whisper in your ear
I want to fucking tear you apart

Then he walked up and told her, thinking maybe it'd pass

And they talked and looked away a lot, doing the dance
Her hand brushed up against his, she left it there
Told him how she felt and then they locked in a stare

They took a step back, thought about it, what should they do
Cause theres always repercussions when you're dating in school
But their lips met, and reservations started to pass
Whether this was just an evening or a thing that would last

Either way he wanted her and this was bad
Wanted to do things to her it was making him crazy
Now a little crush turned into a like
And now he wants to grab her by the hair and tell her

I want to hold you close
Skin pressed against me tight
Lie still, and close your eyes girl
So lovely, it feels so right

I want to hold you close
Soft breath, beating heart
As I whisper in your ear
I wanna fucking tear you apart
[3x]




And another one. WARNING: This describes child sexual abuse.


Bright Eyes: "Amy in the White Coat"

You take your clothes off
Right after school
The tea is on, the flame is blue.
And you hope it won't take all afternoon.
The TV's waiting to talk to you.
It's your naked body on white velour,
But there's no feeling
Just weight on you.
But you get nauseous now
As he speaks to you
Such proper language
For acts so cruel
He says "We all follow the rules
We can't very well go and break them now can we?
For you, for you, for you..
Your older sisters, I had them too.
But you're my favorite you know it's true.
You look like your mother
In that thin disguise
your parting mouth, your shining eyes.
And the way that you hate me
And the length of your hair
It's the reason I made you
It's the bond that we share.
You see we're all trying to endure
You could easily go and make your own life somewhere
Couldn't you? Couldn't you? Couldn't you, couldn't you, couldn't you, couldn't you, couldn't you?"

With the sun you rise
But you keep your eyes shut
The alarm clock lies
Get to school on time
where you're a bag of warm fluid
You're the corpse in the class
You walk so near to your locker
You lay so low in the grass
Did you get that coat from the principal?
Did you get that bruise on the bus?
You should wash your hair more
You should look more like us.
But I saw you walking once
Under powder blue skies
You looked cold still, your collar was high.
And I tried to talk to you
But you walked right by
I don't know which I said then,
"Hello" or "Goodbye"
see we're all trying to be pure
But it isn't a very easy thing, now is it,
to do? To do, To do, To do, To do, To do
Isn't it, Isn't it, Isn't it, Isn't it,
Isn't it, Isn't it, Isn't it, Isn't it?

More SR-71

Here's some more lyrics from Baltimore's SR-71... lyrics about life and love that speak of a lot of experiences I've had in the past...

"Mosquito" by SR-71

You like when we go fast,
so my foot's on the brake
Used to be my girl,
but now you're just my worst mistake
But you don't see it, not a subtle change
Makes me laugh how you turned into a cliché

When every time you told me
that we'd never say goodbye... was a lie
Yeah, you knew what to expect from me
Just like a hit of exctasy
you made me high!

You think I still want you
after all you put me through
You think I can't walk away
and find someone better for me
Just take your overactive ego,
shrink it down like a mosquito
Baby lovin' you was such a chore,
'til I got bored
Now I don't think about you anymore
Anymore

From the first time I saw you naked,
I could see the future,
I knew that my world was shaken
Lost my innocence, then I lost my mind
Thank god now I see,
'cause with you I must have been blind 'cause

Every time you told me
that we'd never say goodbye... was a lie
Yeah, just like a common criminal,
you gave me just the minimal
to keep me hanging on inside!

You think I still want you
after all you put me through
You think I can't walk away
and find someone better for me
Just take your overactive ego,
shrink it down like a mosquito
Baby lovin' you was such a chore,
'til I got bored
Now I don't think about you anymore

Now that I can breathe,
I'm done with therapy
It's your turn to burn
Covered up in lies
and still so full of pride
I hope you choke,
'cause its the sex I'll miss the most!

You think I still want you
after all you put me through
You think I can't walk away
and find someone better for me
'Cause you'll come crawling back one day

You think I still want you (still want you)
after all you put me through (all you put me through)
You think I can't walk away (walk away)
and find someone better for me (someone better for me)
You think I still want you (still want you)
after all you put me through (all you put me through)
You think I can't walk away (walk away)
and find someone better for me (someone better for me)
Just take your overactive ego,
shrink it down like a mosquito
Baby lovin' you was such a chore,
'til I got bored
Now I don't think about you anymore

"Here We Go Again" by SR-71

I met her just last Wednesday
By Friday she was mine
Saturday she spent the night
and everything was fine
But Sunday she was on my nerves,
I wanna be alone
Tuesday's here, it's been a week
Why won't she go home?

In the bedroom she's fakin'
All the good ones are taken
Do I have "freak" stamped across my forehead?
I just want a normal girlfriend,
but here we go again
Here we go again

The start of week two,
she cooks me dinner at her pad
But I can't believe its just so
I can meet her mom and dad
So I sat her down and told her
I just wanna be friends
Today when I got home,
that crazy bitch was moving in
(Singin' here we go again)

In the bedroom she's fakin'
All the good ones are taken
Do I have "freak" stamped across my forehead?
I just want a normal girlfriend,
but here we go again

Dear God I'm so ashamed
I'll do anything to get laid
Dear God I'm so ashamed
I'm so ashamed

In the bedroom she's fakin' (she's fakin')
All the good ones are taken (are taken)
Do I have "freak" stamped across my forehead?
I just want a normal girlfriend,
but here we go again
(Dear God I'm so ashamed)
Here we go again
(I'll do anything to get laid)
Here we go again
(Dear God I'm so ashamed)
I just want a normal girlfriend,
but here we go again

"All American" by SR-71

I never got high first time that I tried,
just like everyone
I know the cigarettes were bold
for a little four foot nothing ten year-old
On hot summer days,
we went off to the mall,
sent security climbin' up the walls
Just like everyone,
we thought we'd be forever young

I am not so original,
never to be cynical
A little unstable,
clinically labeled
Fucked-up All-American
I am totally miserable,
ever to be pigeon-holed
Completely obsessive,
manic depressive
Fucked-up All-American

We lived out our lives like we would never die,
just like everyone
But before Keith went to bed,
he put a double barreled shotgun to his head

I am not so original,
never to be cynical
A little unstable,
clinically labeled
Fucked-up All-American
I am totally miserable,
ever to be pigeon-holed
Completely obsessive,
manic depressive
Fucked-up All-American

Smashing bottles and cans
for reasons I don't understand
When I look at the past,
it's like staring at pieces of broken glass
Broken glass

I am not so original,
completely fucking miserable (completely fucking miserable)
A little unstable (a little unstable)
A little unstable!

I am, I am (totally miserable, ever to be pigeon-holed)
a little unstable,
clinically labeled
Fucked-up All-American (All-American)
I am, I am (totally miserable, ever to be pigeon-holed)
Completely obsessive,
manic depressive
Fucked-up All-American
Fucked-up All-American
Hey
Fucked-up All-American (All-American)
Hey

Great band that will be sorely missed, shame Mitch Allan moved on to other things.

[Eisa]

I got some REALLY dark lyrics...you has been warned!

This one is just creepy for a lot of reasons...and yet some of the lyrics really...resonate, I guess would be the best word. But still. CREEPY!

Avenged Sevenfold: "Nightmare"

NIGHTMARE!
Now your nightmare comes to life.

Dragged you down below
Down to the devils show
To be his guest forever
Peace of mind is less than never

Hate to twist your mind
But God ain't on your side
An old acquaintance severed
Burn the world your last endeavor

Flesh is burning
You can smell it in the air
Cause men like you have such an easy soul to steal (steal)

So stand in line while banging numbers in your head
You're now a slave until the end of time

Nothing stops the madness turning, haunting, yearning pull the trigger

You should have known
The price of evil
And it hurts to know that you belong here
Yeah
Oooooooh
It's your fucking nightmare
While your nightmare comes to life

Can't wake up in sweat
Cause it ain't over yet
Still dancing with your demons
Victim of your own creation

Beyond the will to fight
Where all that's wrong is right
Where hate don't need a reason
Loathing self-assassination

You've been lied to
Just to rape you of your sight
And now they have the nerve to tell you how to feel (feel)

So sedated as they medicate your brain
And while you slowly go insane they tell ya
"Given with the best intentions, help you with your complications"

You should have known
The price of evil
And it hurts to know that you belong here
Yeah
No one to call
Everybody to fear
Your tragic fate
Is looking so clear
Yeah
Oooooooh
It's your fucking nightmare
HA! HA! HA! HA!

(Break)

(Maniacal laughter)
Fight (Fight! ). not to fail (fail! )
Not to fall (fall! )
Or you'll end up like the others

Die (Die! ), die again (die! )
Drenched in sin (sin! )
With no respect for another
OH!

Down(Down! ), feel the fire(fire! )
Feel the hate(hate! )
Your pain is what we desire

Lost (Lost! ), hit the wall (wall! )
Watch you crawl (crawl! )
Such a replaceable liar

And I know you hear their voices
Calling from above
And I know they may seem real
These signals of love
But our life's made up of choices
Some without appeal
They took for granted your soul
And it's ours now to steal

As your nightmare comes to life

You should have known
The price of evil
And it hurts to know that you belong here
Yeah
No one to call
Everybody to fear
Your tragic fate
Is looking so clear
Yeah
Oooooooh
It's your fucking nightmare





The band Sentenced, in general, was just a depressing-as-shit band. Be that as it may, I'm still sad that one member died and then the band broke up.

Here's a particularly disturbing one.

Sentenced: "The Luxury of a Grave" **MENTIONS SUICIDE**

On day zero my mother was expecting the worst
And out of my father´s ass I was born, feet first

"Oh, no."

The most horrendous piece of feces ever forced
To be disposed of is what I was created for

Oh, no...[I´m sorry that I was born!]...so wrong!

When death releases you from me
Just dump my foul remains on some near-by field
- I don´t deserve a grave
When you finally get rid of me
Just let my corpse decay...unburied
- I do NOT deserve the luxury of a grave

My worthlessness is something there is no doubt of:
- I am a waste of the filth I was made out of

How low...[I´m sorry I´m still alive]...can I go!?

When death releases you from me
Just dump my foul remains on some near-by field
- I don´t deserve a grave
When you finally get rid of me
Just let my corpse decay...unburied
- I do NOT deserve the luxury of...

Oh, no...a coffin would be way too nice
Oh, no...a see-through plastic bag will do just fine

When death releases you from me
Just dump my foul remains on some near-by field
- I don´t deserve a grave
When you finally get rid of me
Just let my corpse decay...unburied
- I do NOT deserve the luxury of a grave...


Aaaaaaaaaaand how about this one. This one seriously speaks to me in so many ways. I DO want my innocence back.

Emilie Autumn: "I Want My Innocence Back"

I want my innocence back
And if you can't give it to me
I will cut you down
And I will run you through
With the dagger you sharpened
On my body and soul
Before you slit me in two
And then devoured me whole

I want my innocence back
I want my innocence back
I want my innocence back

I want my innocence back
I want my innocence back
I want my innocence back
(I want my innocence back)

I want my innocence back
And if you can't pacify me
I will break your bones
You think I'm bluffing, just try me (just try me)
I will never forget the words you used to ensnare me
Till my dying day
You'll suffer for this, I swear (I swear)

I want my innocence back
I want my innocence back
I want my innocence back
(I want my innocence back)

I want my innocence back
I want my innocence back
I want my innocence back
(I want my innocence back)

And I demand
You put my heart back in my hand
And wipe it clean
From the mess you made of me
And I require
You make me free from this desire
And when you leave, I'd better be the innocent
I used to be

I want my innocence back!
(I want my innocence back)

I want my innocence back!
(I want my innocence back)

I want my innocence back!
(I want my innocence back)

I want my innocence back!

(I want my innocence back)
(I want my innocence back)
(I want my innocence back)

(I want my innocence back)
(I want my innocence back)
(I want my innocence back)

[chrislb]

one of my favorite songs when I am very angry or just in a generally bad mood
Spit it out by slipknot

Did you ever gave a damn in the first place
Maybe it's time you had the tables turned
'Cause in the interest of all involved I got the problem solved
And the verdict is guilty

Man nearly killed me stepping where you fear to tread
Stop drop and roll, you were dead from the get go
Big motherfucker, stupid cocksucker
Are you scared of me now? Then you're dumber than I thought

Always is and never was
Foundation made of piss and vinegar
Step to me I'll smear ya, think I fear ya, bullshit
Just another dumb punk chomping at this tit

Is there any way to break through the noise
Was it something that I said that got you bent
Gotta be that way if you want it
Sanity literal profanity hit me

Spit it out
All you wanna do is drag me down
All I wanna do is stamp you out
Spit it out
All you wanna do is drag me down
All I wanna do is stamp you out

Maybe it's the way you spread a lotta rumor fodder
Keeping all your little spies and leaving when you realize
Step up, fairy I guess it's time to bury your ass with the chrome
Straight to the dome you heard me right, bitch, I didn't stutter

And if you know what's good
Just shut up and beg brother
Back stab, don't you know who you're dissing?
Side swipe you know, the ass that you're kissing

Biggidy biggidy bitch boy, halfway hauser
Can't hear shit, 'cause it keeps getting louder
C'mon, and get a face full of tactic
Lipping off hard, going home in a basket

You got no pull, no power, no nothing
Now you start shit, well ain't that something
Payoffs don't protect, and you can hide if you want
But I'll find you, comin' up behind you

Spit it out
All you wanna do is drag me down
All I wanna do is stamp you out
Spit it out
All you wanna do is drag me down
All I wanna do is stamp you out

'Bout time I set this record straight
All the needle nose punching is making me irate
Sick of my bitching falling on deaf ears
Where you gonna be in the next five years?

The crew and all the fools, and all the politics
Get your lips ready, gonna gag, gonna make you sick
You got dick when they passed out the good stuff
Are you sick of me? Good enough, had enough

Fuck me! I'm all out of enemies
Fuck me! I'm all out of enemies
Fuck me! I'm all out of enemies
Fuck me! I'm all out of enemies

Fuck me! I'm all out of enemies
Fuck me! I'm all out of enemies
Fuck me! I'm all out of enemies
Fuck me! I'm all out of enemies

Spit it out
All you wanna do is drag me down
All I wanna do is stamp you out
Spit it out
All you wanna do is drag me down
All I wanna do is stamp you out

Spit, spit
Spit, spit
Spit it out

Tourniquet - Evanescence

I tried to kill the pain
but only brought more
so much more
I lay dying
and I'm pouring crimson regret and betrayal
I'm dying, praying, bleeding and screaming
am I too lost to be saved
am I too lost?

my God my tourniquet
return to me salvation
my God my tourniquet
return to me salvation

do you remember me
lost for so long
will you be on the other side
or will you forget me
I'm dying, praying, bleeding and screaming
am I too lost to be saved
am I too lost?

my God my tourniquet
return to me salvation
my God my tourniquet
return to me salvation

I want to die!!!

my God my tourniquet
return to me salvation
my God my tourniquet
return to me salvation

my wounds cry for the grave
my soul cries for deliverance
will I be denied Christ
tourniquet
my suicide

I don't have many sad/dark songs in my playlist, but i do like me some Amy Lee...

Lithium - Evanescence

Lithium, don't want to lock me up inside.
Lithium, don't want to forget how it feels without...
Lithium, I want to stay in love with my sorrow.
Oh, but God, I want to let it go.

Come to bed, don't make me sleep alone.
Couldn't hide the emptiness, you let it show.
Never wanted it to be so cold.
Just didn't drink enough to say you love me.

I can't hold on to me,
Wonder what's wrong with me.

Lithium, don't want to lock me up inside.
Lithium, don't want to forget how it feels without...
Lithium, I want to stay in love with my sorrow.

Don't want to let it lay me down this time.
Drown my will to fly.
Here in the darkness I know myself.
Can't break free until I let it go.
Let me go.

Darling, I forgive you... After all,
Anything is better than to be alone.
And in the end I guess I had to fall.
Always find my place among the ashes.

I can't hold on to me,
Wonder what's wrong with me.

Lithium, don't want to lock me up inside.
Lithium, don't want to forget how it feels without...
Lithium, ...stay in love with you.
I'm gonna let it go.

[Irving Patrick Freleigh]

Goo Goo Dolls, Ain't That Unusual

Could you talk to me
Honestly?
'Cause I never heard a word you said now
And I ain't just being mean
'Cause all we are is what we're told
And most of that's been lies
It's like a made for TV movie
And I just blew my line

Someday you never made it
and maybe it never will
Hey, you never made it
And ain't that unusual?

Now I feel unknown
And it's safe that way
Are you too bored to care or too dumb to be scared now?
What's that supposed to mean?

I'm burned out on some empty reasons
Another waste of time
There's somethin' that I wish I'd said
But I don't think it'd rhyme

Chorus

See I'd love to be you
Then at least then I'd see you
Sorry I put them words in your mouth
But you wouldn't talk to me
Hey!

Everything I want I haven't got
I'm sick of everything I know I'm not
Put my heavy coat on for a while
It's freezing in the corner of my mind

Chorus

[Irving Patrick Freleigh]

Wanna know why music from the late 60s/early 70s is so much better than music from today? Because back then they did songs like this:

I remember, we were flying along,
And hit something in the air...

Laying here, looking at the ceiling,
Someone lays a sheet across my chest.
Something warm is flowing down my fingers
Pain is flowing all through my back.

I try to move my arm and there's no feeling
And when I look, I see there's nothing there.
The face beside me stopped bleeding
The girl I knew has such a distant stare.

I remember, we were flying along,
And hit something in the air.

Then I look straight at the attendant,
His face is pale as it can be.
He bends and whispers something softly,
He says there's no chance for me.

I remember, we were flying along,
And hit something in the air.

Life is flowing out my body,
Pain is flowing out with my blood.
The sheets are red and moist where I'm lying.
God in Heaven, teach me how to die.

I remember, we were flying along,
And hit something in the air.

Bloodrock--D.O.A

[El Pollo Guerrera]

(Maybe not as dark as some of the songs here, but I find it unsettling...)

Fear Of A Blank Planet - Porcupine Tree

Sunlight coming through the haze
No gaps in the blinds
To let it inside
The bed is unmade,
Some music still plays

TV, yeah it's always on
The flicker on the screen
A movie actress screams
I'm basking the shit flowing out of it

I'm stoned in the mall again
Terminally bored
Shuffling round the stores
And shoplifting is getting so last year's thing

X-Box is a god to me
A finger on the switch
My mother is a bitch
My father gave up ever trying to talk to me

Don't try engaging me
The vaguest of shrugs
The prescription drugs
You'll never find a person inside

My face is Mogadon
Curiosity has given up on me
I'm tuning out desires
The pills are on the rise

How can I be sure I'm here?
The pills that I've been taking confuse me
I need to know that someone sees that
There's nothing left, I simply am not here

I'm through with pornography
The acting is lame
The action is tame
Explicitly dull
Arousal annulled

Your mouth should be boarded up
Talking all day with nothing to say
Your shallow proclamations
All misinformation

My friend says he wants to die
He's in a band, they sound like Pearl Jam
Their clothes are all black
The music is crap

In school I don't concentrate
And sex is kinda fun, but just another one
Of all the empty ways of using up the day

How can I be sure I'm here?
The pills that I've been taking confuse me
I need to know that someone sees that
There's nothing left, I simply am not here

Bipolar disorder
Can't deal with this boredom
Bipolar disorder
Can't deal with this boredom

You don't try to be liked
You don't mind
You feel no sun
You steal a gun
To kill time

You're somewhere
You're nowhere
You don't care
You catch the breeze
You still the leaves
So now where?

[Jack T. Chance]

And now for a very special dedication...

this one I'm sending out to ALL of my fellow motorists in the Washington, D.C. area... but especially to all the rubberneckers, and all the aggressive-driving, speed demon assholes that want to do 80 or more in a 55 zone... and also all the drivers from Virginia that insist on coming to the Maryland side of the Beltway to driver slower than everyone else and cause traffic jams!

"I Hope You Die" by The Bloodhound Gang

You must die! I alone am best!

I hope you flip some guy the bird,
he cuts you off and you're forced to swerve
in front of a Beatles' tour bus,
a Bookmobile and a Mack truck
hauling hazardous biological waste,
the light turns red, you have no brakes,
and "Hard Copy" gets it all on tape,
so you can see the look on your face

Die die die die die die, die
Die die die die die die, die

I hope your Pinto begins to spin,
takes out a disabled Vietnam Veteran,
mows down a Nobel Peace Prize Winner,
and maybe some orphans having Christmas dinner
Perhaps even the British Royal Family,
and the Rabbi that's clutching the bottle-fed puppy
And we can't forget the newlyweds,
and those Jerry's Kids are as good as dead

I hope this helps to emphasize
I hope this helps to clarify
I hope you die

I hope your cellmate thinks he's God,
but C.N.N. refer to him as "Bowling Ball Bag Bob"
Serving time again for abuse of a corpse,
only this time the victim's a Clydesdale horse
While he masturbates to photos of livestock,
he does the "Silence of the Lambs" dance to Christian Rock,
eats feces and quotes from "Deliverance",
and fights with his imaginary playmate Vince

Die die die die die die, die
Die die die die die die, die

I hope he grins like Jack Nicholson
and forces you to play a game called "Balls On Chin"
And whatever happens next is all a blur,
but you remember "fist" can be a verb
And when you finally regain consciousness,
you're bound and gagged in a wedding dress
And the prison guard looks the other way,
'cause he's the guy you flipped the bird the other day

I hope this helps to emphasize
I hope this helps to clarify
I hope you die

I hope you die!

Ultimate road rage song right there, my friends!

[Eisa]

^I love that song.


This one. Just...resonates, I suppose!

Brooke Fraser: "Scarlet"

Middle of nowhere
Finally you can breathe
Nobody knows your name
It's easier

Shut your eyes tightly
Clench your fists 'til they almost bleed
Cautiously, lightly
Gently expose what's underneath

And all you feel now
Is the scarlet in the day
Even if it's real
You can't stay...

[Chorus]
So there you go
You're gone for good
There you go
You're gone for good

Your mind is swollen
From months of thought without release
They've taken their toll on you
And this very moment
Of timid and fragile honesty
Is precious and rare and fleeting

And all you feel now
Is the scarlet in the day
And even if it's real
You can't stay...

[Chorus x2]

Ooo. Me likey metal. Particularly death metal. ^_^

Our Requiem by Winds Of Plague

My friends.
My family.
I ask of you one final time to gather before me.
Tonight we shall leave this earth as legends.
Our only way to never die.
This will be our requiem.
In the company of death we walk side by side.
Cast your differences aside for the lives sacrificed.
I ask one final time to unite.
Earn the right to stand with pride.
We are in the company of death.
Cast your differences aside.
For the lives sacrificed to the earth and for those still to come we wash our hands of blood.
Carry with you the love of a mother and a fathers strength may our names echo throughout history.
Glory, never given without a price.
Glory, gnawed clean from the hands that feed.
The world is at your finger tips, tear it apart.
Rip and cut until the view is clear as far as the eye can see.
Honor the Gods and pay tribute to the human era.
A most humbling wind blows at the dawn of extinction.
Fire signals that sails are near.
Vestals of vile creatures appear.
Rest well tonight.
Tomorrow we walk through the flames of hell.
This will be our requiem.
Our testament to the heavens.

[Jack T. Chance]

This song has a very special place in my life, as it helped me to wake up and crawl out of the darkness I was stuck in for far too long.

It's also a song that I feel NEEDS to be posted, given what happened here on CS.com this week. If you don't know what I'm referring to, go look at the Site News Forum.

"Waste" by Staind

Your mother came up to me
She wanted answers only she should know,
only she should know
It wasn't easy to deal
with the tears that rolled down her face
I had no answers, 'cause
I didn't even know you

But these words,
they can't replace
the life you,
the life you waste

How could you paint this picture?
Was life as bad as it should seem
that there were no more options for you?
I can't explain how I feel
I've been there many times before
I've tasted the cold steel of
my life crashing down before me

But these words,
they can't replace
the life you,
the life you waste

Did Daddy not love you?
Or did he love you just too much?
Did he control you?
Did he live through you at your cost?
Did he leave no questions
for you to answer on your own?

Well fuck them!
And fuck her!
And fuck him!
And fuck you
for not having the strength in your heart to pull through!
I've had doubts, I have failed
I've fucked up, I've had plans
Doesn't mean I should take my life with my own hands!

But these words,
they can't replace
the life you,
the life you waste

But these words,
they don't replace
the life you,
the life you waste
