I've always been a sucker for a really good line in a good song from any kind of genre. What is your favorite witty/cutting to the core/"oh face" 2-4 line lyric? I'm looking for something that means something to you, not some pop or hip hop lyric about going out to the club, give me truth. I'm interested to see what is special to different people. Include Artist and Song Title so that others can enjoy.

Here: If it don't touch my soul, then I can't listen to it The radio don't play the **** I used to love Or maybe I'm just growing up - Big K.R.I.T (The vent) It’s safe to say that dreams come true I guess Don’t let nobody tell ya, try for yourself Just know that I was once considered just a dreamer But I paid my dues and turned so many doubters to believers - Big K.R.I.T (Dreamin) At times I hate my reflection and others I’m conceited half the time I’m arrogant other times I’m vengeful at times it’s to convince me, at times it’s to convince you - Joe budden (sober up) Very few could ever love me without some conditions, Those the ones I care to treasure, ones I wouldn't dare sever - Joe Budden (Inseparable) Same song as above - You give me your all and I'm a send it back with interest I can post way more but it'll take over the whole page. And I'm lazy right now. But if you want more, I'll put more later.
epicness defined. Spoiler The past is a grotesque animal And in its eyes you see How completely wrong you can be How completely wrong you can be The sun is out, it melts the snow that fell yesterday Makes you wonder why it bothered I fell in love with the first cute girl that I met Who could appreciate Georges Bataille Standing at Swedish festival discussing "Story of the Eye" Discussing "Story of the Eye" It's so embarrassing to need someone like I do you How can I explain, I need you here and not here too How can I explain, I need you here and not here too I'm flunking out, I'm flunking out, I'm gone, I'm just gone But at least I author my own disaster At least I author my own disaster Performance breakdown and I don't want to hear it I'm just not available Things could be different but they're not Things could be different but they're not The mousy girl screams, "Violence! Violence!" The mousy girl screams, "Violence! Violence!" She gets hysterical because they're both so mean And it's my favorite scene But the cruelty's so predictable It makes you sad on the stage Though our love project has so much potential But it's like we weren't made for this world (Though I wouldn't really want to meet someone who was) Do I have to scream in your face? I've been dodging lamps and vegetables Throw it all in my face, I don't care Let's just have some fun Let's tear this **** apart Let's tear the ****ing house apart Let's tear our ****ing bodies apart But let's just have some fun Somehow you've red-rovered the gestapo circling my heart And nothing can defeat you No death, no ugly world You've lived so brightly You've altered everything I find myself searching for old selves While speeding forward through the plate glass of maturing cells I've played the unraveler, the parhelion But even apocalypse is fleeting There's no death, no ugly world Sometimes I wonder if you're mythologizing me like I do you Mythologizing me like I do you We want our film to be beautiful, not realistic Perceive me in the radiance of terror dreams And you can betray me You can, you can betray me But teach me something wonderful Crown my head, crowd my head With your lilting effects Project your fears on to me, I need to view them See, there's nothing to them I promise you, there's nothing to them I'm so touched by your goodness You make me feel so criminal How do you keep it together? I'm all, all unraveled But you know, no matter where we are We're always touching by underground wires I've explored you with the detachment of an analyst But most nights we've raided the same kingdoms And none of our secrets are physical None of our secrets are physical None of our secrets are physical now
There's a full moon over Tulsa, I hope that it's shining on you. The nights are getting cold, In Cherokee County. There's a Blue Norther passing through. I remember green eyes and a ranchers daughter. But remember is all that I do. Losing you left a pretty good cowboy, With nothing to hold on to. Sundown came and I drove to town, And drank a drink or two. You're the reason God made Oklahoma, You're the reason God made Oklahoma. And I'm sure missing you, I'm sure missing you.
Breathe Breathe, breathe in the air. Don't be afraid to care. Leave but don't leave me. Look around and choose your own ground. Long you live and high you fly And smiles you'll give and tears you'll cry And all you touch and all you see Is all your life will ever be. Run, rabbit run. Dig that hole, forget the sun, And when at last the work is done Don't sit down it's time to dig another one. For long you live and high you fly But only if you ride the tide balanced on the biggest wave You race towards an early grave.
I wanted her, I wanted her, but she doesn't like the life that I lead She doesn't like the life that I lead, Doesn't like sand stuck on her feet Or sitting around, smoking weed -Tame Impala "It is Not Meant To Be"
Baby, baby, baby oooh Like baby, baby, baby nooo Like baby, baby, baby oooh I thought you'd always be mine
Did it all get real? I guess it's real enough They got refrigerators full of blood Another century spent pointing guns At anything that moves Sometimes I worry that I've lost the plot My twitching muscles tease my flippant thoughts I never really dreamed of heaven much Until we put him in the ground But it's all I'm doing now Listening for patterns in the sound Of an endless static sea But once the satellite's deceased It blows like garbage through the streets Of the night sky to infinity
Reluctantly crouched at the starting line or If I could find that heina and that sancho that she's found, Well I'd pop a cap in sancho and I'd slap her down. or Clearly I remember Pickin' on the boy Seemed a harmless little f*** But we unleashed a lion Gnashed his teeth And bit the recess lady's breast How could I forget He hit me with a surprise left My jaw left hurting Dropped wide open Just like the day Like the day I heard
Rap Joe Budden - All Of Me But it's me, it's personal, it ain't her Friends keep tellin' me "leave her," I won't 'Cuz she sees somethin' in me that I don't And I see somethin' in her that ya'll won't If you never been in love don't tell me I'm wrong Kanye West - Pinocchio Story You'll never figure out real love It's so crazy I got everything figured out But for some reason I can never find What real love is about... And the fame will be get caught And the day I moved to LA Maybe that was all my fault All my fault to be a real boy Chasing the American dream, Chasing everything we seen Up on the TV screen Pop/Rock Beck - Lost Cause Your sorry eyes cut through the bone They make it hard to leave you alone Leave you here wearing your wounds Waving your guns at somebody new
This world is not my home I'm only here to share the message This world is not my home I live behind the gates
