Guest Jack_the_ripper Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 so post what you think are sad lyrics.here's one that immediatly comes to mind:O! Valencia - The decemberistsYou belong to the gangAnd you say you can't break awayBut I'm here with my hands on my heartOur families can't agreeI'm your brother's sworn enemyBut I'll shout out my love to the starsSo wait for the stone on your window, your windowWait by the car and we'll go, we'll goWhen first we laid eyesI swore to no compromise'Til I felt my caress on your skinWell, how soon we were betrayedYour sister gave us awayAnd your father came all unhingedSo wait for the stone on your window, your windowWait by the car and we'll go, we'll goOh ValenciaWith your blood still warm on the groundValenciaAnd I swear to the starsI'll burn this whole city downAll I heard was a shoutOf your brother calling me outAnd you ran like a fool to my sideWell the shot, it hit hardAnd your frame went limp in my armsAnd an oath of love was your dying crySo wait for the stone on your window, your windowWait by the car and we'll, go we'll goOh ValenciaWith your blood still warm on the groundValenciaAnd I'll burn this whole city downValenciaWith your blood gettin' cold on the groundValenciaAnd I swear to the starsI'll burn this whole city down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murray_TH Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 Pink Floyd's Wish You Were Here always moves me...So, so you think you can tell Heaven from Hell,blue skies from pain.Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail?A smile from a veil?Do you think you can tell?And did they get you to trade your heroes for ghosts? Hot ashes for trees?Hot air for a cool breeze?Cold comfort for change?And did you exchange a walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage?How I wish, how I wish you were here.We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after year,Running over the same old ground. What have we found? The same old fears.Wish you were here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Estranged Reality Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 You wan'da step into my worldIt's a sociopsychotic state of blissYou've been delayed in the real worldHow many times have you hit and missed?You cat-scan shows disfigurationI wanna laugh myself to deathWith a misfired synapsewith a bent configurationI'll hold the line while you gasp for breathYou wanna talk to meSo talk to meYou wanna talk to me (7 times)You can't talk to meYou don't understand your sexYou ain't been mindfucked yetLet's do it (3 times)Oh my distorted smile- Indeed, a sad day for every Guns N' Roses fan. I'm loving Streets of Philadelphia right now, and it's very sad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyles Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 Rammstein - Ohne Dich (Without You)(Translated)I'm going to go into the fir treesThere where I last saw herBut the evening is throwing a cloth upon the landand upon the ways behind the edge of the forestAnd the forest it is so black and emptyWoe is me, oh woeAnd the birds sing no moreWithout you I cannot beWithout youWith you I am alone tooWithout youWithout you I count the hours without youWith you the seconds stand stillThey aren't worth itOn the branches in the ditchesit's now silent and without lifeAnd breathing becomes oh so hard for meWoe is me, oh woeAnd the birds sing no moreWithout you I cannot beWithout youWith you I am alone tooWithout youWithout you I count the hours without youWith you the seconds stand stillThey aren't worth it without youI dedicate this song to my cat.

Axingn'r Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 (edited) Roy Orbison - It's OverYour baby doesn't love you any moreGolden days before they endWhisper secrets to the windYour baby won't be near you any moreTender nights before they flySend falling stars that seem to cryYour baby doesn't want you any moreIt's overIt breaks your heart in two, to know she's been untrueBut oh what will you do ? Then she said to youThere's someone new, we're through, we're throughIt's over, it's over, it's overAll the rainbows in the sky start to even say goodbyeYou won't be seeing rainbows any moreSetting suns before they fall, echo to you that's all that's allBut you'll see lonely sunsets after allIt's over, it's over, it's over, it's over Edited January 11, 2007 by Axingn'r Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankwhite Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 Artist: Nico LyricsSong: These Days LyricsI've been out walkingI don't do too much talkingThese days, these days.These days I seem to think a lotAbout the things that I forgot to doAnd all the times I had the chance to.I've stopped my rambling,I don't do too much gamblingThese days, these days.These days I seem to think aboutHow all the changes came about my waysAnd I wonder if I'll see another highway.I had a lover,I don't think I'll risk anotherThese days, these days.And if I seem to be afraidTo live the life that I have made in songIt's just that I've been losing so long.La la la la la, la la.I've stopped my dreaming,I won't do too much schemingThese days, these days.These days I sit on corner stonesAnd count the time in quarter tones to ten.Please don't confront me with my failures,I had not forgotten them.

kingwillie Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 i never liked eminem or rap but i think that Like Toy Soldiers is pretty moving when you pay attention to the lyrics[Chorus]Step by step, heart to heart, left right leftWe all fall down like toy soldiersBit by bit, torn apart, we never winBut the battle wages on for toy soldiers[Verse 1]I'm supposed to be the soldier who never blows his composureEven though I hold the weight of the whole world on my shouldersI am never supposed to show it, my crew ain't supposed to know itEven if it means goin' toe to toe with a Benzino it don't matterI'd never drag them in battles that I can handle unless I absolutely have toI'm supposed to set an exampleI need to be the leader, my crew looks for me to guide 'emIf some shit ever does pop off, I'm supposed to be beside 'emThat Ja shit I tried to squash it, it was too late to stop itThere's a certain line you just don't cross and he crossed itI heard him say Hailie's name on a song and I just lost itIt was crazy, this shit went way beyond some Jay-z and Nas shitAnd even though the battle was won, I feel like we lost itI spent too much energy on it, honestly I'm exhaustedAnd I'm so caught in it I almost feel I'm the one who caused itThis ain't what I'm in hip-hop for, it's not why I got in itThat was never my object for someone to get killedWhy would I wanna destroy something I help buildIt wasn't my intentions, my intentions was goodI went through my whole career without ever mentionin' SugeAnd that was just out of respect for not runnin' my mouthAnd talkin' about something that I knew nothing aboutPlus Dre told me stay out, this just wasn't my beefSo I did, I just fell back, watched and gritted my teethWhile he's all over t.v. down talkin' a man who literally saved my lifeLike fuck it i understand this is businessAnd this shit just isn't none of my businessBut still knowin' this shit could pop off at any minute cuz[Chorus][Verse 2]There used to be a time when you could just say a rhymeAnd wouldn't have to worry about one of your people dyin'But now it's elevated cuz once you put someone's kids in itThe shit gets escalated, it ain't just words no more is it?It's a different ball game, callin' names and you ain't just rappin'We actually tried to stop the 50 and Ja beef from happenin'Me and Dre had sat with him, kicked it and had a chat with himAnd asked him not to start it he wasn't gonna go after himUntil Ja started yappin' in magazines how we stabbed himFuck it 50 smash 'em, mash 'em and let him have itMeanwhile my attention is pullin' in other directionsSome receptionist at The Source who answers phones at his deskHas an erection for me and thinks that I'll be his ressurectionTries to blow the dust off his mic and make a new recordBut now he's fucked the game up cuz one of the ways I came upWas through that publication the same one that made me famousNow the owner of it has got a grudge against me for nothin'Well fuck it, that motherfucker can get it too, fuck him thenBut I'm so busy being pissed off I don't stop to thinkThat we just inherited 50's beef with Murder Inc.And he's inherited mine which is fine ain't like either of us mindWe still have soldiers that's on the front lineThat's willing to die for us as soon as we give the ordersNever to extort us, strictly to show they support usWe'll maybe shout 'em out in a rap or up in a chorusTo show them we love 'em back and let 'em know how important it isTo have Runyan Avenue, soldiers up in our cornersTheir loyalty to us is worth more than any award isBut I ain't tryna have none of my people hurt and murderedIt ain't worth it, I can't think of a perfecter way to word itThen to just say that I love ya'll too much to see the verdictI'll walk away from it all before I let it go any furtherBut don't get it twisted, it's not a plea that I'm coppin'I'm just willin' to be the bigger manIf ya'll can quit poppin' off at the jaws, well then I canCuz frankly I'm sick of talkin'I'm not gonna let someone elses coffin rest on my conscience cuz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevdo242 Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 I come from the valley Where Mister when you're youngThey bring you up to doLike your daddy doneMe and Mary, we met in high schoolWhen she was just seventeenWe'd ride out of this valleyDown to where the fields are greenWe'd go down to the riverAnd into the river, we'd diveOh down to the river, we'd rideThen I got Mary pregnantAnd man that was as she wroteAnd for my eighteenth birthdayI got a Union card and a wedding coatWe went down to the courthouseAnd the judge put it all to restNo wedding day smiles, no walk down the ailseNo flowers, no wedding dressThat night, we went down to the riverAnd into the river we divedOh down to the river, we did rideI got a job working constructionFor the Johnstown companyBut lately there ain't been much workOn account of the economyAnd all them things that seemed so importantWell, Mister, they vanished right into the airNow I just act like I don't rememberMary acts like she don't careBut I remember us riding my brother's carHer body tanned and wet down at the reservoirAt night on them banks, I'd lie awakeAnd pull her closer to feel each breath she'd takeNow those memories come back to haunt meThey haunt me like a curseIs a dream a lie if it don't come trueOr is it something worse?It sends me down to the riverThough I know the river is dryIt sends me down to the river tonightDown to the river, my baby and IOh down to the river we ride Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Axingn'r Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 (edited) When they poured across the border I was cautioned to surrender, this I could not do; I took my gun and vanished. I have changed my name so often, I've lost my wife and children but I have many friends, and some of them are with me. An old woman gave us shelter, kept us hidden in the garret, then the soldiers came; she died without a whisper. There were three of us this morning I'm the only one this evening but I must go on; the frontiers are my prison. Oh, the wind, the wind is blowing, through the graves the wind is blowing, freedom soon will come; then we'll come from the shadows. Les Allemands étaient chez moi, (The Germans were at my home)ils me dirent, "Signe toi," (They said, "Sign yourself,")mais je n'ai pas peur; (But I am not afraid)j'ai repris mon arme. (I have retaken my weapon.)J'ai changé cent fois de nom, (I have changed names a hundred times)j'ai perdu femme et enfants (I have lost wife and children)mais j'ai tant d'amis; (But I have so many friends)j'ai la France entière. (I have all of France)Un vieil homme dans un grenier (An old man, in an attic)pour la nuit nous a caché, (Hid us for the night)les Allemands l'ont pris; (The Germans captured him)il est mort sans surprise. (He died without surprise.)Oh, the wind, the wind is blowing, through the graves the wind is blowing, freedom soon will come; then we'll come from the shadows.
