Alle Uhren bleiben stehen
Lachen ist nicht mehr gesund und bald
Such ich dich hinter dem Licht
Wo bist du
So allein will ich nicht sein
Wo bist du?
Rammstein "Wo bist du?"
Here is the translation (not from me but found on a website):
All clocks have stopped
It's no longer healthy to laugh, and soon
I'll look for you behind the light
Where are you
I don't want to be so alone
Where are you
I have nothing . WHITNEY HOUSTEN
Share my life, take me for what I am
Coz I'll never change all my colours for you
Take my love, I'll never ask for too much
Just all that you are and everything that you do
I don't really need to look very much further
I don't want to have to go where you don't follow
I won't hold it back again, this passion inside
Can't run from myself
There's nowhere to hide
Well,don't make me close one more door
I don't wanna hurt anymore
Stay in my arms if you dare
Or must I imagine you there
Don't walk away from me...
I have nothing, nothing, nothing
If I don't have you, you, you, you, you, you...
You see through, right to the heart of me
You break down my walls with the strength of your love mmmmm...
I never knew love like I've known it with you
Will a memory survive, one I can hold on to
I don't really need to look very much further
I don't want to have to go where you don't follow
I won't hold it back again, this passion inside
I Can't run from myself
There's nowhere to hide
Your love I'll remember, forever
Don't make me close one more door
I don't wanna hurt anymore
Stay in my arms if you dare
Or must I imagine you there
Don't walk away from me...
I have nothing, nothing, nothing...
Well,don't make me close one more door
I don't wanna hurt anymore
Stay in my arms if you dare
Or must I imagine you there
Don't walk away from me no...
Don't walk away from me
Don't you dare walk away from me
I have nothing, nothing, nothing
If I don't have you, you
ooohhh,ooooh
if i don't have you,oohh...
Okay I Believe You, But My Tommy Gun Don't - Brand New
i am heaven sent, don't you dare forget.
i am all you've ever wanted,
what all the other boys all promised.
sorry i told. i just needed you to know.
i think in decimals and dollars.
i am the cause to all your problems,
shelter from cold. we are never alone.
coordinate brain and mouth.
then ask me what's it like to have myself so figured out.
i wish i knew..
i hope this song starts a craze.
the kind of song that ignites the airwaves.
the kind of song that makes people glad to be where they are,
with whoever they're there with.
this is war.
every line is about who i don't wanna write about anymore.
hope you come down with something they can't diagnose,
don't have the cure for.
holding on to your grudge.
oh it's so hard to have someone to love.
and keeping quiet is hard.
'cause you can't keep a secret
if it never was a secret to start.
at least pretend you didn't wanna get caught..
we're concentrating on falling apart.
we were contenders, we're throwing the fight
i just wanna believe, i just wanna believe,
i just wanna believe in us.
oh, we're so c-c-c-c-c-controversial.
we are entirely smooth.
we admit to the truth,
we are the best at what we do.
and these are the words you wish you wrote down.
this is the way you wish your voice sounds,
handsome and smart.
oh my tongue's the only muscle on my body
that works harder than my heart.
and it's all from watching tv,
and from speeding up my breathing.
wouldn't stop if i could.
oh it hurts to be this good.
you're holding on to your grudge.
oh it hurts to always have to be honest
with the one that you love.
oh, so let it go..
we're concentrating on falling apart.
we were contenders, we're throwing the fight
i just wanna believe, i just wanna believe,
i just wanna believe..
we're concentrating on falling apart.
we were contenders, we're throwing the fight
i just wanna believe, i just wanna believe,
i just wanna believe in us.
this is the grace that only we can bestow.
this is the price you pay for loss of control.
this is the break in the bend,
this is the closest of calls.
this is the reason you're alone,
this is the rise and the fall.
we're concentrating on falling apart.
we were contenders, we're throwing the fight
i just wanna believe, i just wanna believe,
i just wanna believe..
we're concentrating on falling apart.
we were contenders, we're throwing the fight
i just wanna believe, i just wanna believe,
i just wanna believe in us.
A single quote from the greatest deathmetal band of all time.
I finally found you, my personal slaughter.
As an appitizer, I'll let you taste my daughter.
Eaten- Bloodbath
Sick, disturbing, evil, and beautiful.
you know you can't be hurt,
you gotta believe in your star,
they'll always treat you like dirt,
they can only push you so far,
they can't take it away,
if you've got something to say,
they might try and fence you in,
but you've only gotta live to win
i know it's hard, a natural drag,
it's a hassle to fight,
if you don't wanna be a slag,
if you believe you're right,
they've got the power now,
but soon it's our hour now,
we all know where we been,
we all been living to win
...break down the wall,
live it up it's their time to fall,
anarchy is coming in,
if you know we live to win
(motorhead)

I'm standing on this corner
Can't get their attention
Facing rush hour faces turned around
I clutch my stack of paper, press one to a chest,
then watch it swoop and stutter to the ground.
I'm weary with right-angles, abbreviated daylight,
waiting for a winter to be done.
Why do I still see you in every mirrored window,
in all that I could never overcome?
How I don't know what I should do with my hands when I talk to you.
How you don't know where you should look, so you look at my hands.
How movements rise and then dissolve, melted by our shallow breath.
How causes dance away from me.
I am your pamphleteer.
I walk this room in time to the beat of the Gestetner,
contemplate my next communique.
The rhetoric and treason of saying that I'll miss you.
Of saying "Hey, well maybe you should stay."
Sing "Oh what force on earth could be
Weaker than the feeble strength
Of one" like me remembering the way it could have been.
So help me with this barricade.
No surrender. No defeat.
A spectre's haunting Albert Street.
I am your pamphleteer.
The Weakerthans "Pamphleteer"
I'm a bit of a collector when it comes to (parts of) lyrics. :D Glad to find this thread ;)
I'm totally undecisive when it comes to "favourite", so I'll just give you what I'm listening to right now:
Tommy Stinson - Without A View
do You Trust Yourself At All?
The other lines in the song are great too, but hey - one has got to choose ;)
In our life theres if
In our beliefs theres lie
In our business theres sin
In our bodies theres die - This Was My Life, Megadeth
In my hour of need
Ha no youre not there
And though I reached out for you
Wouldnt lend a hand.
Through the darkest hour
Grace did not shine on me
It feels so cold, very cold
No one cares for me.
Did you ever think I get lonely
Did you ever think that I needed love
Did you ever think to stop thinking
Youre the only one that Im thinking of.
Youll never know how hard I tried
To find my space and satisfy you too.
Things will be better when Im dead and gone
Dont try to understand, knowing you Im probably wrong.
But oh how I lived my life for you
Still youd turn away
Now as I die for you
My flesh still crawls as I breathe your name
All these years I thought I was wrong
Now I know it was you
Raise you head, raise your face your eyes
Tell me who you think you are, who?
I walk, I walk alone
Into the promised land.
Theres a better place for me
But its far, far away
Everlasting life for me
In a perfect world
But I gotta die first,
Please God send me on my way.
Time has a way of taking time
Loneliness is not only felt be fools
Alone I call to ease the pain
Yearning to be held by you, alone so alone, Im lost
Consumed by the pain
The pain, the pain, the pain.
Wont you hold me again
You just laughed, ha ha, *****
My whole life is work built on the past
But the time has come when all things shall pass
This good thing passed away. - In My Darkest Hour,Megadeth
If I see the morning hours
Ill have one more yesterday
Take life from tomorrow
Cause Ive burned out my today
If I get up to the top I know
Ill just go back downhill
Gotta terminal future
And its time to write my will
Down another glass of courage
And a shot of thorazine
Were not ready to see you yet
99 ways to die
Were not ready to see you yet
Gotta short between the earphones
Wringing my hands in dismay
A more efficient maniac
With two feet in the grave
Aint got no last words to say
Yellow streak right up my spine
The gun in my mouth was real
And the taste blew my mind
In a black tie and straight jacket
Man Im gonna try again
Demitasse of arsenic
Try on this tie
Never mind the tree
There is only death and danger
In the sockets of my eyes
A playground of illusion
No one plays they only die
Theres a prison in my mind
And the bars are gonna break
Im as mad as a hatter
And strung out just the same
Taunting rigor mortis
I feel it draw me in
And when that guy comes by
With his diamond ring
It doesn’t feel right
And you tell him so
So you buy your tickets home
And you’re going down slow
-Andrew Bird's Bowl Of Fire "How Indiscreet
And I don't wanna know the price I'm gonna pay for dreaming
- Michael Bolton (How Am I Supposed To Live Without You)
Revolution was a pretty good song, like Helter Skelter.
Instant Karma was good, too.
thank god somebodys got good tasteQuote:

Go ahead, end it all
We deserve no better
A forever unblessed detonation
The great plutonium chord fulminates
blinding the eyes of creation
Cutting off all life support
Sweeping away existence instantly
Iced desolate ruins linger
leaving traces of our lovely humanity

Poor Billy Bonney, you're only twenty one

You're a mile ahead of Garrett, and a step outside of Hell
-From Billy the Kid by Chris Ledoux
see my smile i can hear your voice
coming from another room
in another land in a house
in a corner of my heart
so be quiet
not make a sound
do not blink now
don't look down
you don't know
you'd never ever know
i've forgotten all my lies
i feel like a fool
in a cold
i don't even know myself
any more
come to me lay down beside me
and close your eyes kiss me sleep
for tonight
- lullaby 6000 (the czars)
"She saw it and she grabbed it and it wasn't what it seemed
The kids all dream of making it, whatever that means
Another variation on a theme
A tangle on the television and the magazine
D'you reckon that they do it for a joke?
D'you reckon that they make 'em take an oath?
That says "we are defenders
Of any poseur or professional pretender around"
When did your list replace the twist and turn?
Ah the fist, replaced the kissed-on concern
And if you're bothered, I don't want your prayers
Save it for the morning after"
Arctic Monkeys "Teddy Picker"
"I wish I could sleep, I wish I could dream
I love the sound of my feet against these empty streets
I saw the whole town burn down
I'm walking away
Nothing stays, these feelings have wings
Our arms outstretched, we are soaring"
Umbrellas "Ships"
"And I have learned
That even landlocked lovers yearn
For the sea like navy men
'Cause now we say goodnight
From our own separate sides
Like brothers on a hotel bed"
Death Cab for Cutie "Brothers on a Hotel Bed"
I have lots more, but I don't want this to be an annoyingly long post.
I absolutely love this song!

I like Imogen Heap's "Hide and Seek" alot, but the swear in the beginning ruins it a bit for me. It does add alot more seriousness to the emotion, though.
Where are we?
what the hell is going on?
the dust has only
just begun to fall
Crop circles in the carpet
Sinking feeling
Spin me round again
and rub my eyes
this can't be happening
when busy streets a mess with people
would stop to hold their heads heavy
Hide and seek
Trains and sewing machines
All those years
They were here first
oily marks appear on walls
where pleasure moments hung before
the takeover
the sweeping insensitivity
of this
still life
Hide and seek
trains and sewing machines
Blood and tears
They were here first
mm what d'ya say?
that you only meant well, well of course you did
this it's all for the best, of course it is
that it's just what we need, you decided this?
what did you say?

Mid sweet talk newspaper word cut outs
Speak no feeling no I don't believe you
you don't care a bit
'"Let me be the one u call
if u jump i'll break ur fall
lift u up and fly away with u
in to the night

There's always been
heart ache & pain &
when it's over u'll
breathe again ''
-savage garden- crush & burn
Over time i've been buliding my castle of love
Just for two, though you never knew you were my reason.
I've come much too far for you now to say
That i've got to throw my castle away.
Over dreams, i have picked out a perfect come true.
Though you never knew it was of you i'd been dreaming.
The sandman as come from too far away,
For you to say come back some other day.
And though you don't believe that they do,
They do come true, For did my dreams
Come true when I looked at you.
And maybe to if you would believe, you to might be overjoyed
Over love over me.
Over hearts, I have painfully turned every stone.
Just to find, I have found what I searched to discover.
i've come much too far, for me now to find
The love that I sought can never be mine
And though you don't believe that they do,
They do come true, For did my dreams
Come true when I looked at you.
And maybe to if you would believe, you to might be overjoyed
Over love, over me.
And, though the odds say improbable, what do they know.
A foreign romance, all true love needs is a chance.
And maybe with a chance you would find, you too like I
Overjoyed, over love, over you

Once there came a storm in the form of a girl
It blew to pieces my snug little world
Sometimes I swear I can still hear it howl
Down through the wreckage and the ruins
And it ain't gonna rain anymore
Now my baby's gone
And it ain't gonna rain anymore
Now my baby's gone
Now the storm has passed over me
I'm left to drift on a dead calm sea
And watch her forever through the cracks in the beams
Nailed across the doorways of the bedrooms of my dreams
- Nick Cave, Ain't Gonna Rain Anymore
Man! Somebody beat me to the punch, I was going to post something by Cave! Oh well, maybe it's been done eariler anyway. I'll give you my favourite Cave song from his earlier The Birthday Party-era:
Baby is a cool machine
She moves to the pulse of her generator
Says damn that sex supreme.
She says, she says damn that horror bat
Sex horror sex bat sex sex horror sex vampire
Sex bat horror vampire sex
Cool machine
Horror bat. bite!
Cool machine. bite!
Sex vampire. bite!
So twisted. So sinister. Man.
So many to choose from!Quote:

I believe this song to have too much meaning to express. The lyrics are amazing, but the way it is put together and presented with music and all is remarkable. It is the song that inspired me to pick up drumming, can someone gather meaning from it? I can't! :confused:
