Necturion Posted June 19, 2019 Report Share Posted June 19, 2019 Really enjoying Waldgeflüster's lyrics. They are in german but I think I translated one of their songs a while ago. Found it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormblaast Posted March 25, 2022 Report Share Posted March 25, 2022 I'd say several Metallica songs, especially The Unforgiven and Until it sleeps. I think they're relatable for some people who've broken free from (religious) oppression, or are struggling with some kind of illness or darkness inside them. I think James Hetfield is very good at expressing his own life experiences and feelings into the music. Master of Puppets and Sad But True are also among my Metallica favorites. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoatmasterGeneral Posted March 25, 2022 Report Share Posted March 25, 2022 Couldn't possibly care any less about the lyrics when I'm listening to the extreme metal which makes up the majority of my listening, but I can really identify with these heartfelt lyrics from the 1970's. They sure don't write 'em like this anymore. I Just Want to Have Something to Do Hanging out on 2nd Avenue Eating chicken Vindaloo I just want to be with you I just want to have something to do Tonight, tonight, tonight Tonight, tonight, well alright! Tonight, tonight, tonight Tonight, tonight, tonight Wait! Now! Wait! Now! Hanging out all by myself I don't want to be with anybody else I just want to be with you I just want to have something to do Tonight, tonight, tonight Tonight, tonight, well alright! Tonight, tonight, tonight Tonight, tonight, tonight Wait! Now! Wait! Now! Wait! Now! Wait! Now! Hanging out all by myself I don't want to be with anybody else I just want to be with you I just want to have something to do Tonight, tonight, tonight Tonight, tonight, well alright!

AlSymerz Posted March 25, 2022 Report Share Posted March 25, 2022 Anything where they repeat the chorus 15 times is a great. And if they repeat the same two verses through the song as well, instant classic! In fact stuff the verses, no one needs them, lets just have a song of choruses! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rexorcist Posted August 10, 2022 Report Share Posted August 10, 2022 Favorite metal chorus: Paradise Lost by Symphony X. Looking down from ethereal skies Silent crystalline tears I cry For all must say their last goodbye - to Paradise Ironic favorite: I'm in love with my lust, burning angel wings to dust. Did Nightwish HEAR THEMSELVES when they wrote that shit? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeathMetalBangers Posted March 18, 2023 Report Share Posted March 18, 2023 I enjoy the music more than the lyrics with a lot of bands. However I do enjoy early Carcass lyrics. Necroticism-Descanting the Insalubrious album is my favorite. I’ve sat down and read the entire album many times. song- Inpropagation [“Reaping the gone, to nourish the land…Replenishing exhausted pasture with my uncanny sleight of hand.”] song-Buried Dreams (Heartwork) When aspirations are squashed When life's chances are lost When all hope is gone When expectations are quashed When self esteem is lost When ambition is mourned ...All you need is hate (I’ve always wanted this one hung on my wall like those motivational posters that teachers used to put up around the classrooms.) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoatmasterGeneral Posted March 19, 2023 Report Share Posted March 19, 2023 All the best lyrics come from the world of punk. Or my favorites do anyway. Cosmic Psychos - Follow Me Home I went at her, she says alright I'm gonna try and take her home tonight she's lookin' beaut, maybe a root there's a swag in the back of me ute Chorus: Instead of fuckin' fighting me why don't you fuckin' follow me home 2x She's lookin' good, as she should We've talked so much my brain is bread and butter pud' she's such a beaut, maybe a root, there's a swag in the back of me ute and she said: blah, bluh bluh bluh blah, bluh bluh bluh bluh bluh bluh bluh bluh blah bluh bluh bluh blah, bluh bluh bluh blah, bluh bluh bluh blah blah blah blah blaah bluh bluh bluh blah, bluh bluh bluh blah, bluh bluh bluh blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah bluh bluh bluh blah blah blah blah blah Chorus: Instead of fuckin' fighting me why don't you fuckin' follow me home 2x guitar solo Chorus: Instead of fuckin' fighting me why don't you fuckin' follow me home 2x 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlSymerz Posted March 19, 2023 Report Share Posted March 19, 2023 I'd vote for Pyschos over that one above too. Such poetic pieces don't come along that often. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoatmasterGeneral Posted March 19, 2023 Report Share Posted March 19, 2023 Personally I think the bluh buh bluh blaah verse is sheer genius. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thatguy Posted March 19, 2023 Report Share Posted March 19, 2023 Surely the elegant and elegiac beauty of The Chats 'Smoko' can't be beaten. 'So it's Tuesday morning And my CentreLink hasn't come through So I pick up the phone Because I've got some abusing to do.' And the chorus 'I'm on smoko So leave me alone I'm on smoko So leave me alone...' Brings a tear to the eye. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlSymerz Posted March 19, 2023 Report Share Posted March 19, 2023 Yeah Smoko is a certified genuis poet at work. More brilliant work is on display in the song I've Got The Clap Last week, pulled a root, In the back of me ute, I was cautious, double wrapped But I still got the clap [Chorus] I've got the clap (He's got the clap) I've got the clap (He's got the clap) So I went to the clinic Doctor said, "Mate you're fucked!" Then he told me what I had Turns out I've got the clap 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thatguy Posted March 19, 2023 Report Share Posted March 19, 2023 Shakespeare eat your heart out. All in all though, apart from gems like these I'm glad I can't understand 90% of the lyrics of songs I listen to. I must make an exception of Valborg's Romantic. The lyrics sound great in German and translated they really are joyfully grim. The album is musically the simplest of Valborg's oeuvre, but there is such a great blend of melancholy music and gleefully miserable lyrics. You gotta laugh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlSymerz Posted March 19, 2023 Report Share Posted March 19, 2023 I went through a stage a few years ago where pretty much everything I listened to I couldn't understand due to language or it just being undecipherable but these days I prefer it when I can understand the lyrics and sing along....the cows love it...and I wont hear anything or anyone who says different! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamGavriely Posted March 19, 2023 Report Share Posted March 19, 2023 My favorite lyrics are of my favorite song as well: Dancers to a Discordant System by Meshuggah. It talks about a reality controlled by higher beings who subdue the human race without us knowing it. We just keep dancing the same old dance to appease the ones who control us. This dance represents "the system" or "the man". It can be interpreted as the law system, the education system, or simply society. Listen to the hidden tune The essence of lies in notes defined As we dance to the dissonant sway The choreography refined Will subdued and shackled Reason washed aside Pledging our love to the chains Our ignorance ever-amplified Blooded hands lead the waltz We're trapped in the out-of-tune swirl Still we set the show on continue mode And dance to a discordant system We accept the nails we're fed Lies sharpened to bleed us silent Muted from the pains Defiance employed in vain Any attempts to leave the dance, Invisibly suppressed Questions unasked, we learn the steps Eyes shut like all the rest Unsuspecting, willing, blind, controllable herd Pawns in a covert game conducted by hands we trust Dominated, compliant and deceptable Confident that we matter - we don't see that we're but dust Committed to a lie we cannot see, cannot know nor comprehend We're all asinine drones kept in the dark, kept in line Confined, Bereft of reason Withering in toxicity The deadly fumes of deceit And we all reek of complicity Humbled, brought to our knees By the weight of our own guilt Our nescient ways the catalyst To injustice and inhumanity We dance - to appease Compete in stupidity Obscured faces file our points Numbers fed to the machine Still we stand in line for the next show The human spine liquefied What are we, but stupefied Dancers to a discordant system We believe - so we're misled We assume - so we're played We confide - so we're deceived We trust - so we're betrayed 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Necrolord Posted February 22 Report Share Posted February 22 Love these lyrics (and song). Perfectly describes the behavior of one particular shitty, lying person that I had to cut out of my life. Evile - Devoid of Thought Changing out the face you wear Turning from the guilty stares Listen to the fables you tell You're giving the game away Aren't you ever man enough To face your consequence Did the fire burn too bright So you launch more offence Thought Devoid of thought x2 Fiction crossing in with fact Caught up in creation's frame Honesty, the greater act You're too far to go back Wanting not the world you walk Living in the one that's made Negative a positive For your weak masqeraude Thought Devoid of thought x4 Come forth with the truth Come forth Be who you are Not who you want 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
