These are great lyrics, to kill yourself to.

Megadeath, "A Tout Le Monde"

A tout le monde
A tout mes amis
Je vous aime
Je dois partir
These are the last words
I'll ever speak
And they'll set me free

The translations is:

To all of you
To all my friends
I love you
I must go
 
Rossetta Stoned, by Tool. These lyrics are the end of the song. They get me every time.

Overwhelmed as one would be, placed in my position.
Such a heavy burden now to be the One
Born to bear and bring to all the details of our ending,
To write it down for all the world to see.

But I forgot my pen
Shit the bed again ...
Typical.

Strapped down [to] my bed
Feet cold and eyes red
I'm out of my head
Am I alive? Am I dead?
Sunkist and Sudafed *
Gyroscopes and infrared
Won't help, I'm brain dead
Can't remember what they said
God damn, shit the bed

I can't remember what they said to me
Can't remember what they said to make me out to be a hero
Can't remember what they said
Bob help me!
Can't remember what they said

God damn, shit the bed!
 
Limpbizkit, "Rearranged"

This is the end of the song. I was going through a pretty tough time in my life, this song came on the radio and I started crying. I looked at my girlfriend and she was crying too. She said to me, "I don't think a more perfect song could explain where you are at this point of your life. I really hope things get better and quick. I'm scared to death for you"

You make believe
That nothing is wrong until you're cryin'
You make believe
That life is so long until you're dyin'
You make believe
That nothing is wrong until you're cryin'
Cryin' on me
You make believe
That life is so long until you're dyin'
Dyin' on me!

You think that everybody's the same
I don't think that anybody's like you
(You ruin everything and you kept f*ckin' with me until its over and I won't be
the same)

That song makes me sad because it makes me think of someone from my past. I remember back then I couldn't listen to that song. :(
 
Whitesnake - slide it in


You talk too much,
Never saying what's on your mind,
It's written on your face,
An' in the words you hide behind
I know what you want,
I can see what you're looking for,
I know what you want from me,
An' I'm gonna give you more

I'm gonna slide it in
Right to the top,
Slide it in,
I ain't never gonna stop
Slide it in,
Right to the top,
I'm gonna slide it in, slide it in,
Slide it, in baby...

Sometimes you seem
Just like a stranger to me,
But, all the games you play
Make it so easy to see
You're looking for love,
Tho' you try to deny,
The things you put me through
Tell me what I've got to do to you

I'm gonna slide it in,
Right to the top,
Slide it in,
I ain't never gonna stop
Slide it in,
Right to the top,
I'm gonna slide it in, slide it in...

You talk too much,
Always treating me so unkind,
I know what I've got to do,
To get me some peace of mind

I'm gonna slide it in,
Right to the top,
Slide it in,
I ain't never gonna stop
Slide it in,
Right to the top,
I'm gonna slide it in, slide it in,
Slide it in,
Right to the top
Slide it in,
I ain't never gonna stop
Slide it in,
Right to the top,
I'm gonna slide it in, slide it in, slide it,
Slide it in, slide it in,
Right to the top, baby...
 
Soul Shadows - written by Will Jennings and Joe Sample

Standing by the window as the fog rolls in
I swear I can hear a far off music
Jelly Roll is playing down in Storyville
Satchmo wailing somewhere in Chicago
Coltrane reaching for the notes his mind can hear
They'll remain a part of all that I know
Oh, they played, feeling that won't go away
Left the sound of their souls in the air
I can hear it out there and I know
They left those soul shadows
On my mind, on my mind, on my mind
They left a soul shadow
On my mind, on my mind, on my mind

This one?

Never heard it before.

Very good.

Why does Bill Withers ring a bell?
 
Definitely not everyone's style here.

I often wake up and hit a classical playlist, usually baroque style.

This one is not that. It has been been moving recently.

Corey Taylor of Slipknot, great writer and vocalist, a side project.

All the lyrics but to pick one line.

"Is anyone here still left alive?!!!!"

Doubting that a bit some places these days.

Gone Sovereign

"No one's laughing now, no one's laughing now
I'm sullen and sated and you can't put a price on me
I won't share this disarray, I won't pull these hands away
I need to be chosen and my God don't pray for me

So scatter all my ashes when I'm dead
And shatter every legend in my head
If only the committed will survive
Is anybody here still left alive?

This is mine

Come no further, you won't go far
I'm running around in circles once again
If you can't forgive me, I won't take it very hard
But I won't make it easy in the end

So scatter all my ashes when I'm dead
And shatter every legend in my head
If only the contented will survive
Is anybody here still left alive?

This is mine
This is mine
Yeah

So scatter all my ashes when I'm dead
And shatter every legend in my head
If only the committed will survive
Is anybody here still left alive?

This is mine
Mine
Mine
Mine"

Absolute Zero

"The bloody angle, the symmetry
Your cheap adhesive isn't holding me
My mouth is a gun I can shoot, I can show you the truth
And I don't need a reason to lie to you

No pun intended, no punishment
If I offended you, you needed it
Ideas are the bombs in your mind, a fissure in time
If you don't have a weapon you can't have mine

I can bleed if I want to bleed
I can fail if I feel the need
This face is my last confession
This life, it feels like a prison

Oh, I'm not afraid
I'm giving into grievances again
You're looking at an absolute zero
I'm not the devil but I won't be your hero

The catatonic, the sacrilege
Your primadonnas are a privilege
My God has a need to react, it's as simple as that
It's better just to settle than face the facts

I can bleed if I want to bleed
I can fail if I feel the need
This face is my last confession
This life, it feels like a prison

Oh, I'm not afraid
I'm giving into grievances again
You're looking at an absolute zero
I'm not the devil but I won't be your hero

One thing that I can't stand
Is when the minutes fight the second hand
I'll waste a lifetime's worth
Just to cling to one more day

No fucking quarter, no premiums
The world is stuck in delirium
Man is a four-letter word, it's really absurd
The hate isn't fake, it's just inferred

Oh, I'm not afraid
I'm giving into grievances again
I'm down to absolute zero
Another zealot with the weight of the fucking world

Oh, I'm not afraid
And I will let you down as I hold you in
You're looking at an absolute zero
I'm not the devil but I won't be your hero"
 
Love the court room part at the beginning of this.

And when you kill a man, you're a murderer
Kill many, and you're a conqueror
Kill them all... Ooh-oh you're a god!

"Ladies and Gentlemen of the jury
Have you reached a verdict?"
"Yes, we have, Your Honour
We find the defendant guilty!
On all counts for crimes against all humanity"

"By virtue of the jury's decision
And the power vested in me by the state
I hereby sentence you to be incarcerated with no possibility of parole for life"

"Life?! Whadda ya mean life?... I ain't got a life!"

"Boy!... Your soul better belong to Jesus!...
Hmmm-mmm, 'cause your ass belongs to me"
 
Instant masterpiece in my estimation.

A friend remarked, "Very Nietzsche. You're not a Nietzsche guy".


No. Certainly not a Will to Power type.

Powerful passages here nevertheless.

Particularly this stanza.

"I'm up off my knees, girl
I'm face to face with myself
And I know who I am

(Hello, my name is human)

And I stole the power from the sun

I am more than just a man"

man, you're not a Nietche guy"

Not that others are validation, ever but others concur, with a big "Yes".

"Okay

I'm feeling the way that I'm feeling myself
Fuck everyone else
Gotta remember that nobody's better than anyone else, here

(Do you need some time to think it over?)
Look what they do to you
Look what they do to me
Must be joking if you think that either one is free, here

Get up off your knees, girl
Stand face to face with your God
And follow what you are

(Hello, my name is human)
Hello, my name is human

And I came down from the stars
(Hello, my name is human)

I'm ready for love and I'm ready for war
But I'm ready for more

I know that nobody's ever been this fucking ready before, hey

(Do you need some time to think it over?)

So figure it out, or don't figure it out
I figured it out
The bigger the river (the bigger the river)
The bigger the drought (the bigger the drought)

Get up off your knees, boy

Stand face to face with your God
And find out what you are

(Hello, my name is human)
Hello, my name is human
And I came down from the stars
(Hello, my name is human)

Fire world, I love you
Fireworld

I'm up off my knees, girl
I'm face to face with myself
And I know who I am
(Hello, my name is human)
And I stole the power from the sun
I am more than just a man

(No longer disillusioned)
(I'm not asking questions)
('cause questions have answers)
(And I don't want answers)
I came down from the stars (so I'll take my chances)
(And what are the chances)
(That I could advance)
(On my own circumstances)
(Said "what are the chances?")

Hello, my name is human (And what are the chances?)
(I don't want your answers)
(I'm not asking questions)
(So you keep your answers)
And I know who I am (So you keep your answers)
(I'm not asking questions)
(I'm taking my chances)"
 
On a milder note, great appreciation for Stevie Nicks.

"Heartless challenge
Pick your path and I'll pray
Wake up in the morning
See your sunrise, loves to go down

Lousy lovers pick their prey
But they never cry out loud, cry out

Well, did she make you cry?
Make you break down?
Shatter your illusions of love?
And is it over now, do you know how?

Pick up the pieces and go home
Rock on, ancient queen
Follow those who pale in your shadow

Rulers make bad lovers
You better put your kingdom up for sale
Up for sale"
