i love this song...

Poison the Well- Botchla

But I adore her
this will never happen
but I adore HER
this will NEVER happen
over my DEAD body
of course I think ABOUT it
burn my path if it does
shape my body as I feel
torn
shape my body as I FEEL
torn BROKEN
and if it happens
I'll BURN and crawl deeper in my hole
darkness ALWAYS says hello
and your BURNING BODY will light my way
burning body LIGHT MY WAY

my house smells like oatmeal incense gifts now... it's cool....

also this one i love because it describes the way i make the world seem...in my demented prescription-filled head...

Minus by In Flames :

Drug me, infiltrate my never land
Like the floodtide drowning the shore

Drug me, you're all over me
Watch my blood begin to boil

I love that lullaby
Start me up again
Electric spine
Open mind




I leave you, negative behind
Watch me all in flames, on a butterfly I ride

Inhale the light
Relax for some time
The world outside stays numb tonight
Free your mind express the forgotten
The world inside is yours tonight

Please me, deliver the insane
In the chaos I find peace

Please me, remind the gods of my name
I believe there is one seat left for me

KMFDM - Dogma

all we want is a headrush
all we want is to get out of our skin for a while
we have nothing to lose because we don't have anything
anything we want anyway...
we used to hate people
now we just make fun of them
it's more effective that way
we don't live
we just scratch on day to day
with nothing but matchbooks and
sarcasm in our pockets
and all we are waiting for
is for something worth waiting for
let's admit america gets the celebrities we deserve
let's stop saying "don't quote me"
because if no one quotes you
you probably haven't said a thing worth saying

sex, drugs, god, cash, america

we need something to kill the pain
of all that nothing inside
we all just want to die a little bit
we fear that pop-culture
is the only culture we're ever going to have
we want to stop reading magazines
stop watching tv
stop caring about hollywood
but we're addicted to the things we hate
we don't run washington and no one really does
ask not what you can do for your country
ask what your country did to you

sex, drugs, god, cash, america

the only reason you're still alive is because someone
has decided to let you live
we owe so much money we're not broke we're broken
we're so poor we can't even pay attention
so what do you want
you want to be famous and rich and happy
but you're terrified you have nothing to offer this world
nothing to say and no way to say it
but you can say it in three languages
you are more than the sum of what you consume
desire is not an occupation
you are alternately thrilled and desperate
skyhigh and fucked
let's stop praying for someone
to save us and start saving ourselves
let's stop this and start over
let's go out - let's keep going

sex, drugs, god, cash, america

this is your life - this is your fucking life
we need something to kill
the pain of all that nothing inside
quit whining you haven't done
anything wrong because frankly
you haven't done much of anything
someone's writing down your mistakes
someone's documenting your downfall

KMFDM's "Dogma" used to be my theme song when I was 16 and replaced them temporarily as my favorite band. Good times. That chick has a hot voice on that song. Sasha is always cool, too.

i've never been able to get into 'em as a band. there's like 5 or 6 tracks that i really love, but listening to an entire album get tedious. they work in small doses for me. i completely agree about the singer's voice, though.

I was just so OBSESSED with their anarchistic yet seemingly ordered methodology of political thought at the time. It wasn't just punk angst to me... it made sense. But that's when I was 16. I went on a buying spree and bought a whole shitload of their albums. I have 9 or so, I think..

I love Reef

Place Your Hands - Reef

Oh place your hands, on my hope,
Run your fingers through my soul,
And the way that I feel right now,
Oh Lord it may go.

So place your hands, on my hope,
Run your fingers through my soul,
And the way that we feel right now,
Oh Lord it may go.

Put your hands on, put your hands on. (x4)

You know you cannot hide, from what's inside,
You know you cannot hide, from what's inside.
So I ask of you to help me through,
I ask of you this thing to do.

Put your hands on, put your hands on. (x2)

So lay me down, for a while,
Join my body with my mind,
And I cried at the Common One,
For weeks aft' he died.

Put your hands on, put your hands on. (x4)

And the way that we feel right now,
Oh Lord it may go.

Lou Reed - Perfect Day

Just a perfect day,
Drink Sangria in the park,
And then later, when it gets dark,
We go home.
Just a perfect day,
Feed animals in the zoo
Then later, a movie, too,
And then home.

Oh it's such a perfect day,
I'm glad I spent it with you.
Oh such a perfect day,
You just keep me hanging on,
You just keep me hanging on.

Just a perfect day,
Problems all left alone,
Weekenders on our own.
It's such fun.
Just a perfect day,
You made me forget myself.
I thought I was someone else,
Someone good.

Oh it's such a perfect day,
I'm glad I spent it with you.
Oh such a perfect day,
You just keep me hanging on,
You just keep me hanging on.

You're going to reap just what you sow,
You're going to reap just what you sow,
You're going to reap just what you sow,
You're going to reap just what you sow...

Inside
Sting

Inside the doors are sealed to love,
Inside my heart is sleeping
Inside the fingers of my glove,
Inside the bones of my right hand
Inside it’s colder than the stars,
Inside the circus of the winds
Inside the clocks are filled with sand
Inside she’ll never hurt me,
Inside the winter’s creeping
Inside the compass of the night,
Inside the folding of the land

Outside the stars are turning
Outside the world’s still burning

Inside my head’s a box of stars I never dared to open
Inside the wounded hide their sears,
inside this lonesome sparrow’s fall
Inside the songs of our defeat, they sing of treaties broken
Inside this army’s in retreat, we hide beneath the thunder’s call

Outside the rain keeps falling
Outside the drums are calling
Outside the flood won’t wait
Outside they’re hammering down the gate

Love is the child of an endless war
Love is an open wound still raw
Love is a shameless banner unfurled
Love’s an explosion,
Love is a violent star
A tide of destruction
Love is an angry scar
A violation, a mutilation, capitulation,
love is annihilation, annihilation.

Inside the failures of the light, the night is wrapped around me
Inside my eyes deny their sight, she’d never find me in this place
Inside we’re hidden from the moonlight, we shift between the shadows
Inside the compass of the night, inside the memory of her face

Outside the walls are shaking
Inside the dogs are waking
Outside the hurricane won’t wait
Inside they’re howling down the gate

Love is the child of an endless war
Love is an open wound still raw
Love is a shameless banner unfurled
Love’s an explosion,
Love is the fire at the end of the world
Love is a violent star
A tide of destruction

Love is an angry scar
The pain of instruction
Love is a violation, a mutilation, capitulation,
Love is annihilation,
I climb this tower inside my head
A spiral stair above my bed
I dream the stairs don’t ask me why,
I throw myself into the sky

Love me like a baby, love me like an only child
Love me like an ocean; love me like a mother mild
Love me like a father, love me like the world has just begun
Love me like an innocent, love me like your favorite toy
Love me like a virgin, love me like a courtesan,
Love me like a sinner, love me like a dying man.
Annihilate me, infiltrate me, incinerate me, accelerate me,
Mutilate me, inundate me, violate me, implicate me,
Vindicate me, devastate me

Love me like a parasite, love like a dying sun
Love me like criminal, love me like a man on the run
Radiate me, subjugate me, incubate me, recreate me,
Demarcate me, educate me, punctuate me, evaluate me,
Conjugate me, impregnate me, designate me, humiliate me,
Segregate me, opiate me, calibrate me, replicate me

"Remedy" - Seether

Throw your dollar bills and leave your thrills all here with me
And speak but don't pretend I won't defend you anymore you see
It aches in every bone, I'll die alone, but not for you
My eyes don't need to see that ugly thing, I know it's me you fear
If you want me hold me back

Frail, the skin is dry and pale, the pain will never fail
And so we go back to the remedy
Clip the wings that get you high, just leave them where they lie
And tell yourself, "You'll be the death of me"

I don't need a friend, I need to mend so far away
So come sit by the fire and play a while, but you can't stay too long
It aches in every bone, I'll die alone, but not for pleasure
I see my heart explode, it's been eroded by the weather here
If you want me hold me back

Frail, the skin is dry and pale, the pain will never fail
And so we go back to the remedy
Clip the wings that get you high, just leave them where they lie
And tell yourself, "You'll be the death of me"
Frail, the skin is dry and pale, the pain will never fail
And so we go back to the remedy
Clip the wings that get you high, just leave them where they lie
And tell yourself, "You'll be the death of me"

Hold your eyes closed, take me in
Hold your eyes closed, take me in

Frail, the skin is dry and pale, the pain will never fail
And so we go back to the remedy
Clip the wings that get you high, just leave them where they lie
And tell yourself, "You'll be the death of me"
Frail, the skin is dry and pale, the pain will never fail
And so we go back to the remedy
Clip the wings that get you high, just leave them where they lie
And tell yourself, "You'll be the death of me"

well I browsed through this thread but there was 6 pages worth...and honestly w/ that many I hope this is a repeat, but just incase its not yet mentioned, two of the best songs ever written

Time - Pink Floyd

Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
You fritter and waste the hours in an off hand way
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way

Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain
You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun

And you run and you run to catch up with the sun, but its sinking
And racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in the relative way, but youre older
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death

Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time
Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the english way
The time is gone, the song is over, thought Id something more to say

Home, home again
I like to be here when I can
And when I come home cold and tired
Its good to warm my bones beside the fire
Far away across the field
The tolling of the iron bell
Calls the faithful to their knees
To hear the softly spoken magic spells.

Diary of a madman - Ozzy Osbourne

Screaming at the window
Watch me die another day
Hopeless situation endless price I have to pay

Sanity now it's beyond me there's no choice

Diary of a madman
Walk the line again today
Entries of confusion
Dear diary I'm here to stay

Manic depression befriends me
Hear his voice
Sanity now it's beyond me
There's no choice

I'm sick in mind and spirit
The mirror tells me lies
Could I mistake myself for someone
Who lives behind my eyes
Will he escape my soul
Or will he live in me
Is he tryin' to get out or tryin' to enter me

Voices in the darkness
Scream away my mental health
Can I ask a question
To help me save me from myself

Enemies fill up the pages
Are they me
Monday till Sunday in stages
Set me free

2 Awesome songs.

This is an olllddd one.You can't cut yourself to this one,and it may not be "Cool".But it's an awesome song,nonetheless.

When I see her comin' down the street
I get so shaky and I feel so weak
I tell my eyes look the other way
But they don't seem to hear a word I say

And I, go to pieces and I wanna hide
Go to pieces and I almost die
Everytime my baby passes by

I tell my arms they'll hold someone new
Another love that will be true
But they don't listen, they don't seem to care
They reach for her but she's not there

And I, go to pieces and I wanna hide
Go to pieces and I almost die
Everytime my baby passes by

I remember what she said when she said
"Goodbye baby. We'll meet again soon maybe"
"But until we do, all my best to you"
I'm so lonely, I think about her only

I go to places we used to go
But I know she'll never show
She hurt me so much inside
Now I hope she's satisfied

And I, go to pieces and I wanna hide
Go to pieces and I almost die
Everytime my baby passes by
Go to pieces and I cry
Everytime my baby passes by
Go to pieces and I cry

-Peter & Gordon - I go to Pieces (1966)
