Lyric Quotes

What are your favourite lyric quotes from songs?

Mine has to be from my current favourite, which is rockstar by Post Malone featuring 21 Savage

"I've been in the Hills fuckin' superstars
Feelin' like a pop star"

and

"Drankin' Henny, bad bitches jumpin' in the pool
And they ain't got on no bra"

Both are 21 Savages parts but Post Malone really was the reason the song was so good, loved his lyrics too :Heart:

When love is made so renegade
You know you're going down in flames
And if our hearts must share a grave
At least can we be friends?
You shoot your words,
They knock me down
Like rubber bullets raining out...
They bounce right off and I get up again
But if no one understands me
At least you could pretend
I never knew when love was true
But I know it's the end

Marlboro Lights by Natalia Kills.

I don't feel alright, in spite of these comforting sounds you make
I don't feel alright, because you make promises that you break

And probably you know all the dirty shows I've put on
Blunted and exhausted like anyone
Honestly I tried to avoid it, honestly
Back when we were kids
We would always know when to stop
And now all the good kids are messing up
Nobody has gained or accomplished anything

Comforting Sounds by Mew.

The world was on fire and no one could save me but you
It's strange what desire will make foolish people do
I'd never dreamed that I'd meet somebody like you
And I'd never dreamed that I'd lose somebody like you

What a wicked game you played to make me feel this way
What a wicked thing to do to let me dream of you
What a wicked thing to say you never felt this way
What a wicked thing to do to make me dream of you

Wicked Game by Chris Isaak, although I prefer the cover by Ursine Vulpine.

Broken sundown fatherless showdown
Gun hip swollen lip bottle sip yeah I suck dick
Loose grip on gravity falls sky blinding crumbling walls
River sweep away my memories of
Children's things a young mother's love
Before the yearning song of flesh on flesh
Young hearts burst open wounds bleed fresh

Werewolf by CocoRosie.

Just listening to some music on shuffle and wanted to post more I remembered.

A kiss on the mouth's like an elegy
When you slide down next to me and say
"By morning this will just feel like a dream"
Your eyes are some cold home

Igloos for Ojos by Lovers.

On my last night on Earth, I won't look to the sky
Just breathe in the air and blink in the light
On my last night on Earth, I'll pay a high price
To have no regrets and be done with my life

L.I.F.E.G.O.E.S.O.N. by Noah and the Whale.

Is there any possibility that everyone feels like me?

Ashtrays and Heartbreaks (ft. Miley Cyrus) by Snoop Lion.

We were two kids, just tryin' to get out
Lived on the dark side of the American dream
We would dance all night, play our music loud
When we grew up, nothing was what it seemed

Without You by Lana Del Rey.

I used to be obsessed with all black veil brides lyrics!!

especially the Mortician's Daughter:

We booked our flight those years ago,
I said I loved you as I left you.
Regrets still haunt my hollow head,
But I promised you that I will see you again, again.


I sit here and smile dear.
I smile because I think of you and I blush.
These bleeding hollow dials, this fuss.
A fuss is made of miles and travel
Roadways are but stones and gravel.
A bleeding heart can conquer every crush.

Been shufflin' again and have some more. Basically just using this thread to keep track of my favourite verses!

All this jealousy and agony that I sit in
I'm a jealous boy, really feel like John Lennon
I just want real love, guess it's been a minute
Pissed off from the way that I don't fit in
Tell me what's the secret to love, I don't get it
Feel like I be runnin' a race I'm not winnin'
Ran into the devil today and she grinnin'

All Girls Are the Same by Juice WRLD.

I slept in the sun the other day
I thought I was fine
Everything seemed perfect
Till I had you on my mind
I tried to love you
I did all that I could
I wish that the bad now
Had finally turned into good

Where You End by Moby.

I'm flying to the moon again
Dreaming about marzipan
Taking all my medicine to take my thoughts away
I'm getting on that aeroplane
Leaving my old man again
I hope that I come back one day
To tell you that I really changed

Heroin by Lana Del Rey.

Free my mind, on with the other loves
On with the other lives
And all I want is to feel like all I got
Didn't cost me everything
Even if I never win
Who am I on the other side?
You were mine on the other side

Other Side by Metric.

He doesn't make your knees weak
He's beautiful and bleak
He has a porcelain face
That cracks when he speaks
And I go to start a conversation, but I get no reply
Instead, you stare like a statue as I break down and cry

Your face is like an eagle
But your mind's like a crow
And boy, I know you have opinions
But you don’t let them show
You're a shelf of books, without the pages
A wealth of thoughts locked up in cages

Let Me In by Gabrielle Aplin (love the entire lyrics for this one).

I wanna take it back, everything we had
The curse of love has had me and it turned my heart bad
With a will there's a way, definite, you say
I'm looking out to the water, I'm singing my heart out

I've given up again, maybe I'm just tired
Of thinking that there was one way, only one way out
I was hoping by now, that maybe I'd have found
Answers to the questions that are keeping me down

Up Again (feat. Rae Morris) by Clean Bandit.

'Cause I wished you the best of
All this world could give
And I told you when you left me
There's nothing to forgive

From Jealous, Labyrinth
