Thought this might be some fun, so…

What are some lines from song lyrics that really hit you the right way? It could be that it’s deep and meaningful, or just something that amuses you. I’ll start:

Isn’t it funny how laughter looks like crying with no sound, and raindrops taste like tears without the pain ~ Queensryche - Another Rainy Night (Without You)

Droplets of “yes” and “no” in an ocean of “maybe” ~ Faith No More - Falling to Pieces

A smile as sweet as flowers
Wilted so and soured
Black tears stain the cheeks
That once were so admired
~ Dave Matthews Band - The Dreaming Tree

Her lovers queued up in the hallway
I heard them scratching at the door
I tried to tell her about Marx and Engels,
God and Angels…
I don’t really know what for…

But she looked good in ribbons
The Sisters Of Mercy ~ Ribbons

    I’m standing on a stage Of fear and self-doubt It’s a hollow play But they’ll clap anyway

    My body is a cage We take what we are given Just because you’ve forgotten Doesn’t mean you’re forgiven

      Oh I fucking LOVE that song. I’ve known of him since the late 70’s, however, Admittedly… this song, I never heard until it was in the TV show House.

      Amazing song!

        I first heard it in the Netflix show DARK. That show introduced me to so many amazing songs.

          Nowadays, it doesn’t matter what led you to something great, just that you got to witness it.
