From the song The Dark Canuck by The Tragically Hip:

At the drive-in double feature
At the heart of dark enough
It's Jaws and The Dark Canuck
Should we stay for The Dark Canuck?
Yeah, everyone, hands up
Who's for The Dark Canuck?

I've just always liked that song.

There are lots of great songs out there, so it is really difficult to pick one. One song that sticks out to me is heavydirtysoul by the band twenty one pilots, with lyrics such as:

"Death inspires me like a dog inspires a rabbit"

To be honest that entire blurryface album had so many great songs, even with the radio hits like Stressed Out and Ride.

Also U2 bad

"It's hard living
If you're in your mind
It's hard living
If your thoughts ain't right

But I get up and say
I won't give up today
I got a job to slay
I gotta get the fuck, outta my own way
Don't beat yourself up man, it'll be okay
Maybe not today, but it'll be okay"

Walkin' n' Talkin' (rare americans)

i like these lyrics because they're reassuring the listener that things might be bad right now, but they WILL get better eventually

Some of my favourite song lyrics would come from my top Spotify artist since 2019 which would be BTS.

"The morning will come again
No darkness, no season can't last forever" from Spring Day

"You know those days
Those days where you're sad for no reason
Those days where your body is heavy
And it looks like everyone else except you is busy and fierce" from Zero O'Clock

Those are some song lyrics that have helped me during tough times.

I'm not really a meaningful lyric guy, I just like lyrics that are fun to sing. I'll give out a current one that I'm having fun singing right now, from Drake's song "Fair Trade".

"Mama used to be on disability but gave me this ability
And now she walkin' with her head high and her back straight
I don't think you feelin' me, I'm out here
Bein' everything they said I wouldn't be and couldn't be
I don't know what happened to them guys that said they would be
I said see you at the top and they misunderstood me
I hold no resentment in my heart, that's that maturity
And we don't keep it on us anymore, it's with security"

Just a baller line

There are so many Daft Punk lyrics I could list. Take your pick, honestly.

Sure as fuck not any lyrics from fucking U2.

*Evil_AllBran* · 01-31-2022, 07:01 PM

These lyrics to me are a cautionary tale about the fragility of mankind's moral and ethic codes.

"Well nobody wants to burn in Hell
But everybody's got a soul to sell.
When I was young my mama gave me some advice
She said "Boy, don't you know everybody's got a price?"

These lyrics of course taken from Electric Six's track "Naked Pictures (Of Your Mother)".

There are really too many songs to pick from in all honestly, but I'm doubling down on the greatest stadium rock band ever,

U2

The song came from Bono having a dream that he was Judas Iscariot. The lyrics are a meeting between Judas and Jesus in the afterlife. I remember pulling out a cassette tape of Achtung Baby to listen to for the first time as I was about to drive somewhere. The car did not move until the entire album was finished. The last supper and the betrayal in the garden in song. It's lyrically and sonically brilliant.

Haven't seen you in quite a while
I was down the hold, just passing time
Last time we met it was a low-lit room
We were as close together as a bride and groom
We ate the food, we drank the wine
Everybody having a good time except you
You were talking about the end of the world

I took the money, I spiked your drink
You miss too much these days if you stop to think
You led me on with those innocent eyes
And you know I love the element of surprise
In the garden I was playing the tart
I kissed your lips and broke your heart
You, you were acting like it was the end of the world

In my dream, I was drowning sorrows
But my sorrows they'd learned to swim
Surrounding me, going down on me
Spilling over the brim
Waves of regret and waves of joy
I reached out for the one I tried to destroy
You, you said you'd wait till the end of the world

In Case U2 is a disqualifying entry, here is another that spoke to me, maybe in a breakup or in a hard time with between my wife and I at some point.
This next one spoke to me as a one-time physics major who ultimately became an engineer. In much of our lives, we are defined by what we do for a living. Yet matters of the heart are more important than "numbers and figures".

Come up to meet you, tell you I'm sorry
You don't know how lovely you are
I had to find you, tell you I need you

Tell you I set you apart
Tell me your secrets and ask me your questions
Oh, let's go back to the start

Running in circles, coming up tails
Heads on a science apart
Nobody said it was easy

It's such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said it would be this hard

Oh, take me back to the start
I was just guessing at numbers and figures
Pulling the puzzles apart
Questions of science, science and progress

Do not speak as loud as my heart

But tell me you love me, come back and haunt me
Oh and I rush to the start
Running in circles, chasing our tails

Coming back as we are
Nobody said it was easy
Oh, it's such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said it would be so hard
I'm going back to the start

*leviadan* · 01-31-2022, 07:31 PM

I was a big Fall Out Boy and Panic! At the Disco kid in high school so I gotta give it up for early F.O.B. every time.

Where is your boy tonight?
I hope he is a gentleman
And maybe he won't find out what I know
You were the last good thing about this part of town

ValorX77 · 01-31-2022, 07:33 PM

These lyrics embody the dragons in my view:

"Drench yourself in words unspoken / Live your life with arms wide open / Today is where your book begins / The rest is still unwritten”

This is "Unwritten" by Natasha Bedingfield

*kenvald* · 01-31-2022, 07:45 PM

After watching the Supernatural TV show(all 15 seasons...) the song "Carry on Wayward Son" is often stuck in my head. I don't really have any deeper meaning to associate with the chorus. I just like it.

Carry on, my wayward son
There'll be peace when you are done
Lay your weary head to rest
Don't you cry no more

***hhh81*** · 01-31-2022, 07:49 PM

With the music I've been listening to the last 3 or so months, there's only one artist I have to bring to the table for best lyrics: Taylor Swift. It's impossible to say what the "best" is, so I'll give you a few of my favorites.

"And you call me up again just to break me like a promise
So casually cruel in the name of being honest" - All Too Well

"I knew I'd curse you for the longest time
Chasin' shadows in the grocery line" -cardigan

"Roaring twenties, tossing pennies in the pool
And if my wishes came true
It would've been you" -the 1

"You booked the night train for a reason
So you could sit there in this hurt
Bustling crowds or silent sleepers
You're not sure which is worse" -champagne problems

"Kde domov můj, kde domov můj,
Voda hučí po lučinách,
bory šumí po skalinách,
v sadě skví se jara květ,
zemský ráj to na pohled!
A to je ta krásná země,
země česká domov můj,
země česká domov můj!"

Kde domov můj or the Czech national anthem

When we say "země česká domov můj", I feel that.

Ok I'll try to make a serious one, but this mPT has made me realize I don't particularly identify with most of my music

After looking through my playlist, I've gotta say Taking the Inside Rail from Racing Stripes is probably the one that speaks the most to me.

"All the odds against me
In the two horse race
If I stand up they push me back down flat on my face
They tell me it's impossible
It's just the way I'm bred
And get these crazy notions right out of my head

All the money's on the favorite
I don't get a second glance
I'm not even in the running here with an outside chance

...

I see the crowd and the finish line
I see the day when the prize is mine
It maybe crazy the dream that I swear
The clouds are all behind me
The wind's in my hair"

I have always felt like an outsider in the hockey world, being bullied out of it when I was younger, but I came back with newfound passion that wouldn't let me be forced out this time. I even referred to those who opposed me as "purebreds", possibly due to inspiration from the movie.

Ended up winning the provincial championship in my last year of minor hockey too, before getting a chance to play Jr. A.

I am often times subjected to @UberBJ playing his favorite song, It's raining men. I don't know what he finds so appealing about 'Rough and tough and strong and mean' specimens of the male sort but to each their own.
