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 it's sinking Racing around to come up behind you again The sun is the same in a relative way But you're older Shorter of breath, and one day closer to death
Pink Floyd - Time
That’s always been one of my favorites, too Pink Floyd had a bunch of good ones.
so many, I've been on a muse and imagine dragons binge lately.
but instead of mentioning them much, I'm going to say one that caught me by surprise. Heard my wife's music in the background the other day and this quote stuck in my head:
"you kept me like a secret but I kept you like an oath"
just thought it was an excellent turn of phrase. turns out it was Taylor Swift lol.
So oftentimes it happens
That we live our lives in chains
And we never even know we have the key
"Already Gone" by The Eagles
Morals aren't a substance you can shove in someone's ear,
They're basically a by-product of a mind thinking clear
"And I tried last night to pack away your laugh
Like a key under the mat
But it never seems to be there
When you want it"

And I try not to feel like it all goes wrong But I'll come back around The sky won't fall And the day won't come down And I won't feel what's on the ground
I think everything's fine It all feels right I'll just stay here a while

I shook my head and turned away" - Tina Dico

Pretty much anything by Electric Six or Clutch. Honorable mentions to Soul Coughing and VNV Nation.
Karma chameleon, you come and go ⋅ Karma police, arrest this ho. ⋅ Karma's a bitch, it gets a little jumpy when you come near.
-- Electric Six, (It Gets a Little) Jumpy
Like Harry Truman dropping bombs out of the air ⋅ Like any self-respecting multi-billionaire ⋅ This is who you are, five dancing teenage boys ⋅ Who sing their way into our hearts ⋅ Backstreet's back, alright
-- Electric Six, Jimmy Carter
Next thing that I did was tap out Morse code ⋅ With a wooden nickel on the receiver of the phone ⋅ Before I could complete it, I was quickly overtaken ⋅ By the angry spirits of Ronald and Nancy Reagan
-- Clutch, X-Ray Visions
Pretty much anything by Electric Six

Pretty.much anything by Mars Volta, Tool, Pink Floyd, and Muse. Have yet to find something by these bands that wasn't lyrically full of awesome shit.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHAHHHHHHHOHHHHAHHHH"
- Pink Floyd, The Great Gig In The Sky
Poetry
“Something kinda sad about the way that things have come to be. Desensitized to everything, what became of subtlety? And how can this mean anything to me if I really don’t feel anything at all?
Tool - Stinkfist
“Maybe I will always haunt you. Mark the somnolence with truth. Better hang your dead palace. Than have a living home to lose. In the River Ganges, God damns my name.”
The Mars Volta - Vicarious Atonement
Stinkfist is timeless. Can’t help but sing along to it!
