That all the cards were coming
From the bottom of the pack
And if I'd known what she was dealin' out
I'd have dealt it back!

What's the from!?!?!?!?! That sounds so familiar! (no google at work)


Google? What is this "Google" you speak of? HA! I Google not...I go by rote, thanks.

Well, if you have to go in that direction, any music could be percieved as "trite". They have a refreshing sound that is different and there really isn't any topic that hasn't already been overdone...least to say 'love'. At least they were more poetic to come up with that phrase as opposed to a few lines of NIN's "Closer". (not that it's not a great song )
Not trying to be rude, but their stuff is trite. I know it's technically a subjective thing, but:

Meet me in outer space
I will hold you close
If you're afraid of heights


:confused:

That would get a mighty smackdown in any creative writing course, sorry.

Well I'm moving kinda slow
Down that same old, path
Wastin time inside this, hour glass

She's commin up ahead now and I feel
Yes I feel
My head turnin like a, race car wheel

Maybe I'll try, to say hi another time
I gotta find a way, to get inside your mind
I'll talk smooth, walk one step closer,
Be real cool, real cool, real cool, real cool...
Dang, real cool

Say what you want,
Say what you mean,
Question yourself, are you really what you seem
Say who you are,
Say what you mean
Question yourself, are you really what you dream

Now here I come one more time...
But she slides on by
Not even a second look
She took the bait
Right off that hook

I've got my blinders on tight
I pull my cap a little lower
I can't hide...hide...away...

You might think this is easy for me
But there's a lot of things
You don't know
You don't care
You don't want to see

Long while since I got myself across
but maybe there's a reason for that
Even if I caught you, I'd throw you back

Say what you want,
Say what you mean,
Question yourself, are you really what you seem
Say who you are,
Say what you mean
Question yourself, are you really what you dream

Hey, hey hey hey heyyeahyeahyea hey...
Hey, hey hey hey heyyeahyeahyea hey...
Hey, hey hey hey heyyeahyeahyea hey yaya...
hey-yeah-yeah-hey...

Well I really don't want to fall, back
Cause you don't seem like you care
And if I would
Fall (back)... back...
You don't seem like you care

Fall down your back
Fall down your back
Fall down your back
(You don't seem like you care)
Fall down your back

I will not, I will not hold.....
Hold you back
(You don't seem like, you care)

Fall....... Back..... You.... Don't.....
Fall....... Back..... You.... Don't.....
Fall....... Back..... You.... Don't.....
Fall....... Back..... You.... Don't.....
Fall....... Back..... You.... Don't.....
Fall....... Back..... You.... Don't.....
Fall....... Back..... You.... Don't.....
Fall....... Back..... You.... Don't.....

Hey, hey hey hey heyyeahyeahyea hey...
Hey, hey hey hey heyyeahyeahyea hey...

Yea, sure if you're looking at just that phrase, but as a whole, he's building a metaphor. I don't claim to be any great english master, but I like the imagery that builds in my head.

That's music in a nutshell right there: if you like it and it speaks to you, it's good. :)

My shadow's

Shedding skin and
I've been picking
Scabs again.
I'm down
Digging through
My old muscles
Looking for a clue.

I've been crawling on my belly
Clearing out what could've been.
I've been wallowing in my own confused
And insecure delusions
For a piece to cross me over
Or a word to guide me in.
I wanna feel the changes coming down.
I wanna know what I've been hiding in

My shadow.
Change is coming through my shadow.
My shadow's shedding skin
I've been picking
My scabs again.

I've been crawling on my belly
Clearing out what could've been.
I've been wallowing in my own chaotic
And insecure delusions.

I wanna feel the change consume me,
Feel the outside turning in.
I wanna feel the metamorphosis and
Cleansing I've endured within

My shadow
Change is coming.
Now is my time.
Listen to my muscle memory.
Contemplate what I've been clinging to.
Forty-six and two ahead of me.

I choose to live and to
Grow, take and give and to
Move, learn and love and to
Cry, kill and die and to
Be paranoid and to
Lie, hate and fear and to
Do what it takes to move through.

I choose to live and to
Lie, kill and give and to
Die, learn and love and to
Do what it takes to step through.

See my shadow changing,
Stretching up and over me.
Soften this old armor.
Hoping I can clear the way
By stepping through my shadow,
Coming out the other side.
Step into the shadow.
Forty six and two are just ahead of me.

Why would tool be singing about getting a girls attention. Plus, tool usually doesn't repeat the same lines so many times so consistently in the same song. If anyone listed some real tool lyrics, I'm sure they would top just about everything that has been posted in this thread except for that great verse comparing a relationship to a game of poker (that was a sweet verse).

I'm sitting here trying to pull song lyrics outa my head but it isn't working... when I get home I know just what songs to go to.

What Do I Have To Do?

you make it hard to breathe
it's as if I'm suffocating
and when you're next to me
I can feel your heartbeat through my skin
it makes me sad to think
this could all be for nothing
I wish there was a way
a way for you to see inside me
I've never felt this way
about anyone or anything

TELL ME

what do I have to do
to make you happy?
what do i have to do
to make you understand?
what do i have to do
to make you want me?
and if I can't make you want me
what do i have to do?

I know exactly what you're thinking
but I swear this time I will not let you down
I'm not as selfish as I used to be
that was a part of me that never made me proud
right now I think I would try anything
anything at all to keep you satisfied
God I hope you see what losing you would do to me
all I want is one more chance, tell me

what do I have to do

to forget about you?

Pick me up
Been bleeding too long
Right here, right now
I'll stop it somehow

I will make it go away
Can't be here no more
Seems this is the only way
I will soon be gone
These feelings will be gone
These feelings will be gone

Now I see the times they change
Leaving us, it seems so strange
I am hoping I can find
Where to leave my hurt behind
All the sh!t I seem to take
All alone I seem to break
I have lived the best I can
Does this make me not a man?

Shut me off
I'm ready
Heart stops
I stand alone
Can't be my own

I will make it go away
Can't be here no more
Seems this is the only way
I will soon be gone
These feelings will be gone
These feelings will be gone

Now I see the times they change
Leaving us, it seems so strange
I am hoping I can find
Where to leave my hurt behind
All the sh!t I seem to take
All alone I seem to break
I have lived the best I can
Does this make me not a man?

Am I going to leave this place?
What is it I'm hanging from?
Is there nothing more to come?
(Am I gonna leave this place?)
Is it always black in space?
Am I going take its place?
Am I going to leave this race?
(Am I going to leave this race?)
I guess God's up in this place?
What is it that I've become?
Is there something more to come?
(More to come)

Now I see the times they change
Leaving us, it seems so strange
I am hoping I can find
Where to leave my hurt behind
All the sh!t I seem to take
All alone I seem to break
I have lived the best I can
Does this make me not a man

I've not checked this word for word with the song, so it may be wrong in places :p



If I had a million dollars,
if I had a million dollars,
well, I'd buy you a house,
I would buy you a house.

And if I had a million dollars,
if I had a million dollars,
I'd buy you furniture for your house,
maybe a nice chesterfield, or an ottoman.

And if I had a million dollars,
if I had a million dollars,
well, I'd buy you a K-Car,
a nice "Reliant" automobile.

And if I had a million dollars,
I'd buy your love.

If I had a million dollars,
I'd build a treefort in our yard.
And if I had a million dollars,
you could help me, wouldn't be that hard.
And if I had a million dollars,
maybe we could put, like, a little tiny fridge in there somewhere.

We could go up there whenever we wanted to.

We could have, like, snacks, and beverages...

If I had a million dollars,
if I had a million dollars,
well, I'd buy you a fur coat,
but not a real fur coat; that's cruel.

And if I had a million dollars,
if I had a million dollars,
well, I'd buy you an exotic pet,
yup, like a llama, or an emu.

And if I had a million dollars,
if I had a million dollars,
well, I'd buy you John Merrick's remains,
eww, all them crazy elephant bones.

And if I had a million dollars,
I'd buy your love.

If I had a million dollars,
we wouldn't have to walk to the store.
And if I had a million dollars,
we'd take a limousine, 'cause it costs more.
If I had a million dollars,
we wouldn't have to eat Kraft Dinner.

But we would.

Look, I like Kraft Dinner! I think we'd eat more.

If I had a million dollars,
if I had a million dollars,
well, I'd buy you a green dress,
but not a real green dress; that's cruel.

And if I had a million dollars,
if I had a million dollars,
well, I'd buy you some art,
a Picasso, or a Garfunkel.

And if I had a million dollars,
if I had a million dollars,
well, I'd buy you a monkey.
Haven't you always wanted a monkey?

If I had a million dollars,
I'd buy your love.

If I had a million dollars,
if I had a million dollars,
if I had a million dollars,
if I had a million dollars,
if I had a million dollars,

I'd be rich.

Well, I'd club a baby seal
But you know I won't ingest it
I'd tell my vegan girlfriend
"You know I wouldn't suggest it"
All my shoes are leather
And I don't care whether or not
All the cute little animals were to be shot!


The only lyrics that come to mind right now.

Hello
Is there anybody in there
Just nod if you can hear me
Is there anyone at home
Come on now
I hear you're feeling down
I can ease your pain
Get you on your feet again
Relax
I'll need some information first
Just the basic facts
Can you show me where it hurts

There is no pain, you are receding
A distant ship smoke on the horizon
You are only coming through in waves
Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying
When I was a child I had a fever
My hands felt just like two balloons
Now I've got that feeling once again
I can't explain, you would not understand
This is not how I am
I have become comfortably numb

O.K.
Just a little pinprick
There'll be no more aaaaah
But you may feel a little sick
Can you stand up?
I do believe it's working, good
That'll keep you going through the show
Come on it's time to go

There is no pain, you are receding
A distant ship smoke on the horizon
You are only coming through in waves
Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying
When I was a child
I caught a fleeting glimpse
Out of the corner of my eye
I turned to look but it was gone
I cannot put my finger on it now
The child is grown
The dream is gone
And I have become
Comfortably numb

Aggravated intentions he is malicious
Demon child created this invention
Cold cut raw evil hatred
Grated brain reacting, sacrificing the sacred
Cybernetic inventions to terrorize
Prepubescent reflections in his eyes
Rise from the ashes from the crashes
Troubled euthanasia can?t faze you with the bashes

Incapacitations take a vacation
Demon child this is gods evil creation
Death pains hate out to get you
Evil one?s intentions, not to mention he done hit you
Righteous in your actions so don?t bother
Evilness reactions with no father
Holler is his reflex he is the hunted
Gunning with his toys and his boys the unwanted

This child he is a tragedy
I feel him he is inside of me
This child part of the system corrupted violence because nobody listens
This child he is a tragedy
I feel him he is inside of me
This child part of the system corrupted violence because nobody listens

Corruption
Fight the system
Self-destruction
Rights the system
Corruption
Fight the system
Self-destruction
Rights the system

Systems intentions, failure for their action
Because unknown properties is causing this reaction
But for a fraction of a second he was good but now he?s forever changed realities misunderstood

Goods

Traded brain
He lost his game
He found his fame
He stayed the same
Because he is a number now
Not knowing his name
Fame indulgence looks repulsive to his vision
He?s wishing this child?s survival contracted to this mission

Institutionalized he got locked up
Teenage single mom already knocked up
Once again the cycle begins
But if you don?t change now the system wins

Demons
Running around with no father
Parental supervision lost now begins the slaughter
Why bother should I help this child it?s not fair
Society?s made me cold so should I even care

Killers the pain I feel inside I cant hide
I see it in his eyes
His happiness is in disguise
Help this child I cant even help myself
Much less someone else
This child needs some help

I can see this is not going be a happy ending actually
The nightmares just beginning
Diablo?s winning
Your doing the devils work now so bow down
And take your crown

Rage the evil is inside me now
It burns down passing through the
Lines and influencing minds
Leaving disacknowledging the crime
The bloodlines passed down
I can?t believe this is my own kind
