The Eminem thread got me thinking about the insight into the character of some of our forum members that could be derived from their favorite song lyrics. I'm just curious what you all think are some meaningful, enjoyable, or relatable lyrics?

I have a great deal that I enjoy, among them is Modest Mouse's The Moon and Antarctica. Feel free to post some of yours.

:)

Anything by Trembling Blue Stars. Mostly "Ripples" that is my favorite song of all time.


Also "All Else Failed" by Kind Of Like Spitting.

This is the real deal in love songs....and songs about making love.

i dont like dave. and yes i know im odd
To each his own. I didn't like Dave that much when I first heard his music. DMB is one of those bands that you have to be exposed to for a while to get used to...then you slowly start to understand why things were written the way they were.

Agreed. There are the 'followers' too. I listen to a lot of stuff in that Genre too..

Train - Get Away is another great song. The lyrics aren't all that great, but I do like the one line, "All this holding on, can't be wrong"
It's one of those really good sets of lyrics that make you wonder why you haven't heard anyone else sing it before.

Now for another one.....

"Misery, you insist that the weight of the world, should be on your shoulders....MISERY! There's much more to life than what you see....MY FRIEND OF MISERY!!!" :D

Lots of stuff by Oasis is real good.
I refuse to listen to Oasis because they are a bunch of f*cking wankers!! BTW.. Did you know that their lyrics don't mean dick? One of the first times I got turned off by Oasis was when the lead singer (forget his name and I don't care to know it) admitted to making up words that just went along with the music and they don't mean anything. I don't respect that any more than people like Brittany Spears that have everything written for them. The lyrics should at least mean something to the person who wrote them even though we don't know what the hell it means.

Besides all this, I think they are just the biggest rip off of the Beatles.

My Ex GF used to know this one word for word and sang it to me in the car all the time. Those were the days.. :p

Sublime - Caress Me Down

Mucho gusto me llamo Bradley
I'm hornier than Ron Jeremy
And if you wanna get popped in your knee
Just wipe that look off your bati face
You hate me 'cause I got what you need
A pretty little daughter that we call Mixie
And if you wanna get beat physically
It will be over in a minute if ya...
So she told me to come over
And I took that trip
And then she pulled out my mushroom tip
And when it came out it went drip drip drip
I didn't know she had the G.I. Joe kung fu grip
And it went uuh
And the girl caress me down
Uuh and that's that lovin' sound
And it went uuh
And the girl caressed me down
Uuh and that's that lovin' sound
When I kiss Mixie she makes me feel horny
'Cause I'm the type of lover with the sensitivity
When she kiss my neck
And tickle me fancy
It's the right kind of love on a Sunday morning

en el otro lado es donde vivi
(on the other side is where i used to live)
con mi hijita que se llama mixie
(with my girlfriend named mixie)
y su hermana si me quiere
(and her sister if she wants me)
y ahorita tenemos un bebe
(and now we have a baby)
sus padres sus tios me trataron matar
(her parents tried to kill me)
but they did not get too far
un poco despues, tuve que regresar
con un chingo de dinero cause you know i'm a star
Me fui a costa rica para tomar y supear,
placticava con la raza cause they know who we are
si no le dio cuenta and i bet you never will
you must be a muñeca if you're still standing still
and we go uuh, and the girl caressed me down,
uuh and thats the lovin sound.
and we go uuh, and the girl caressed me down,
and that's that lovin' sound

me gusta mi reggae me gusta punk rock
pero la cosa que me gusta mas es panochita
pon la mano en el aire if you know who you are
pon la nalga en el aire y empieza gritar
no tenga miedo im your papi
take your chones y los manden a me
levanta, levanta, tienes que gritar,
levanta, levanta, tienes que bailar,
and we go uuh, and the girl caressed me down
uuh, and that's the lovin sound
uhh, and the girl caress me down
thats the lovin sound
caress me down
UHH thats the lovin sound
and the girls caress me down
thats the lovin sound...

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
