Lyrical Loony, I Am.
I love my song lyrics. I might just love the words, or I may love how they’re sung. You just have to listen and find out for yourself...
"Meet Virginia" by Train
Wears hi-heels when she exercises
[...]
She only drinks coffee at midnight, when the moment is not
Right, her timing is quite-unusual
You see her confidence is tragic, but her intuition magic
And the shape of her body - unusual
Meet Virginia--I can’t wait to
“Too Much Food” by Jason Mraz
People say that I'm crazy for not moving on to better things
Instead I'm sitting around trash talking with the onion rings
[…]
Well if you are what you eat
In my case I'll be sweet so come and get some
I'm so over it.
“Lightning Crashes” by Live
Lightning crashes, a new mother cries
This moment she's been waiting for
The angel opens her eyes
Pale blue colored eyes
“The Remedy” by Jason Mraz
I say the comedy is that its serious. Which is a strange enough new play on words
I say the tragedy is how you're gonna spend the rest of your nights with the light on
So shine the light on all of your friends because it all amounts to nothing in the end.
“El Scorcho” by Weezer
I'm a lot like you so please
Hello I'm here, I'm waiting
I think I'd be good for you
And you you'd be good for me
“Santa Monica” by Everclear
I don't want to be your good time
I don't want to be your fall back crutch anymore
I'll walk right out into a brand new day
Insane and rising in my own weird way
I don't want to be the bad guy
I don't want to do your sleepwalk dance anymore
[...]
We can live beside the ocean
Leave the fire behind
Swim out past the breakers
Watch the world die
“You and I Both” by Jason Mraz
Over numbers, unencumbered numbered words
Hundreds of pages, pages, pages forwards
More words then I had ever heard and I feel so alive
“Adam’s Song” by Blink-182
I never thought I'd die alone
Another six months I'll be unknown
Give all my things to all my friends
You'll never set foot in my room again
You'll close it off, board it up
“Be Like That” by 3 Doors Down
But just before he says goodnight,
He looks up with a little smile at me and he says
If I could be like that
I'd give anything
Just to live one day
In those shoes.
If I could be like that, what would I do?
What would I do?
“Bittersweet Symphony” by The Verve
I need to hear some sounds that recognize the pain in me, yeah
I let the melody shine, let it cleanse my mind , I feel free now
But the airwaves are clean and there's nobody singing to me now
Richard Ashcroft’s voice sounds like a violin.
“Bohemian Rhapsody” by Queen
Mama,just killed a man,
Put a gun against his head,
Pulled my trigger,now he’s dead,
Mama,life had just begun,
But now I’ve gone and thrown it all away-
Mama ooo,
Didn’t mean to make you cry-
If I’m not back again this time tomorrow-
Carry on,carry on,as if nothing really matters-
Freddie Mercury was just pure genius.
“How’s It Going To Be” by Third Eye Blind
How’s it going to be
Where we used to laugh
There’s a shouting match
Sharp as a thumbnail scratch
A silence I can’t ignore
Like the hammock by the
Doorway we spent time in swings empty
[…]
And how’s it going to be
Want to get myself back in again
The soft dive of oblivion
I want to taste the salt of your skin
The soft dive of oblivion oblivion
3EB writes the greatest lyrics. No one compares. I mean, “Thumbnail scratch” and “taste the salt of your skin”? Who thinks up these things? A creative genius. I swear I’ve been listening to my music too loud…I thought Stephan Jenkins was saying “clear the air” instead of “oblivion”!
“Semi-Charmed Life” by Third Eye Blind
Doing crystal myth
Will lift you up until you break
It won’t stop, I won’t come down, I keep stock
With a tick tock rhythm and a bump for the drop
And then I bumped up
I took the hit I was given
Then I bumped again
[…]
You’re the priestess I must confess
Those little red panties they pass the test
Slides up around the belly
Face down on the mattress
“Graduate” by Third Eye Blind
Sell your heart out for a buck
Go on fade out before I get stuck
Talking to somebody like you
Do you live the days you go through
Will this song live on long after we do
Can I graduate
Can I look in faces that I meet
Can I get my punk ass off the street
“Island In The Sun” by Weezer
On an island in the sun
We’ll be playing and having fun
And it makes me feel so fine
I can’t control my brain
We’ll run away together
We’ll spend some time forever
We’ll never feel bad anymore
Hip hip
“Stay Together for the Kids” by Blink-182
I’m ripe with things to say, the words rot and fall away
If a stupid poem could fix this home, I’d read it every day
[…]
The anger hurts my ears, been running strong for seven years
Rather then fix the problem, they never solve them, it makes no sense at all
I see them everyday, we get along so why can’t they?
If this is what he wants, and it’s what she wants, then whys there so much pain?
“You Get What You Give” by New Radicals
Uh…
One, one, one one…
One, one
Two
Three
Whoo Whoo
Yeah…that’s about the first thirty seconds of the song. I like how upbeat the tempo is in the beginning, but the song is downhill from there. I’m not talking about the meaning of their lyrics, which is positive throughout, it’s just that the band doesn’t keep up the amazing energy they started with.
“All That I’ve Got” by The Used
I'll be just fine
Pretending I'm not
I'm far from lonely
And it's all that I've got
I used to cringe when Bert McCracken said “squoze”, but it really is a word!
“Inside Out” by Eve6
I would swallow my doubt
Turn it inside out
Find nothing but faith in nothing
Want to put my tender
Heart in a blender
Watch it spin round
To a beautiful oblivion
Rendezvous
Then I'm through with you
“Give it All” by Rise Against
So please believe your eyes, a sacrifice,
is not what we had in our minds,
I'm coming home tonight, home tonight
We give it all, this is the reason why I sing,
So give it all, well its these reasons that belong to me
“Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous” by Good Charlotte
Lifestyles of the rich and the famous
they’re always complaining
always complaining
if money is such a problem
well they got mansions
think we should rob them
[…]
but they could spend a day or two
walking in someone else’s shoes
I think they'd stumble and they'd fall
they would fall
My Own Worst Enemy by Lit
Please tell me, please tell me Why
My car is in the front yard,
and I'm Sleeping with my clothes on
Came in through the window last night
And your gone
Gone
I guess this one’s kind of a joke. This is basically the whole song. It’s still one of my top 5 favorites of all-time, though.
Looks Like They Were Right
It looks like they were right again tonight
And I'm probably gonna start another fight
I won't give it up
I'll live it up
Keep it up
Until I get it right
It looks like they were right
“Polyamorous” by Breaking Benjamin
My polyamorous friend
got me in a mess of trouble again
so
Ha ha ha…
“Swing, Swing” by The All-American Rejects
Did you think that I would cry,
on the phone?
Again, ha ha ha…
”When I Come Around” by Green Day
I'm a loser and a user so I don't need no accuser
to try and slag me down because I know I'm right
So go do what you like
Make sure you do it wise
