Hey Pandas, What's Your Favorite Song Lyric? (Closed)

Can anybody see? Is anybody waving, back at me?
-Waving Through A Window

"All lies and jest, still, a man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest"
The Boxer, by Simon and Garfunkle

I want the glory. I just don't want the work. I want the scars and story. I don't want it to hurt. I don't have excuses, I just don't have the time. I know I'm not wrong i just ain't right in someone else's mind. And I dream of the beauty to be free from the doubt. Everyone's trying to find what they can't live without. The science of losing and the pressure it brings, but I'm learning that sometimes time doesn't heal a thing- Amigo the Devil (Stronger than dead)

We were learning what to think instead of how.
- Jon Sirkis, Think for Yourself.

everybody do the flop

Beautiful - Christina Aguilera

Everyday is so wonderful, and suddenly, it's hard to breathe
Now and then I get insecure, from all the pain
Feel so ashamed

I am beautiful no matter what they say
Words can't bring me down
I am beautiful in every single way
Yes words can't bring me down, Oh no
So don't you bring me down today

Human - Rag n' Bone Man

Maybe I'm foolish
Maybe I'm blind
Thinking I can see through this
And see what's behind
Got no way to prove it
So maybe I'm blind

But I'm only human after all
I'm only human after all
Don't put your blame on me
Don't put your blame on me

Take a look in the mirror
And what do you see
Do you see it clearer
Or are you deceived
In what you believe

'Cause I'm only human after all
You're only human after all
Don't put the blame on me
Don't put your blame on me

Some people got the real problems
Some people out of luck
Some people think I can solve them
Lord heavens above
I'm only human after all
I'm only human after all
Don't put the blame on me
Don't put the blame on me

"I'm not trading my youth for your suit and jacket."
(also all of lovejoys new EP!!!)

“I ain't got seventy days
'Cause there's nothing, there's nothing you can teach me
That I can't learn from Mr. Hathaway”

“I didn't get a lot in class
But I know it don't come in a shot glass”

Rehab, Amy Winehouse

This song resonates with me. I grew up listening to it, forgot about it for YEARS, and listened to it again during early 2021. It made me cry. Amy was such a happy person, but this song shows that she didn’t have time to take rehab (among other things) as well as knowing class is not through drinking.

If you have never heard this song, I suggest you listen to it. It is really good.

And I dreamed I was dying
And I dreamed that my sole rose unexpectedly,
was gazing back down at me
Smiled reassuringly
And I dreamed I was flying
Oh, and it's alright, it's alright, it's alright
You can't be forever blessed
Still, tomorrow's going to be another working day
And I'm trying to get some rest
That's all I'm trying to get some rest

Happy Jack wasn't old, but he was a man
He lived in the sand at the Isle of Man
The kids would all sing, he would take the wrong key
So they rode on his head on their furry donkey

Happy Jack - The Who

Such is the way of the world
You can never know
Just where to put all your faith
And how will it grow?
Gonna rise up
Burning black holes in dark memories
Gonna rise up
Turning mistakes into gold
Eddie Vedder .. lyrical God

"And I can still remember just the way you taste"

"I understand about indecision
But I don't care if I get behind
People livin' in competition
All I want is to have my peace of mind"

-Peace of Mind by Boston

Fools in love
They think they're heroes
'Cause they get to feel more pain
I say fools in love are zeros
I should know
I should know because this fool's in love again.

- from "Fools in Love" by Joe Jackson (1979)

"My name is Francis Tolliver,
In Liverpool I dwell;
Each Christmas come,
Since World War One,
I've learned its lesson well

That the ones who call the shots
Won't be among the dead and lame
And on each end of the rifle
We're the same.

-- Christmas in the Trenches, John McCutcheon.
Simultaneously a true story, a Christmas song, and an anti-war song.

“The opposite of love is indifference.” - Lumineers

Unfortunately, my favorite is a real downer (but very true!):

"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."

There's no death, no end of time, when I'm facing it with you

Avenged Sevenfold, Acid Rain💕

Twenty one pilots- message man

You don't know my brain,
The way you know my name
You dont know my heart,
The way you know face

"What if the love you deserve is love you never find?, I've learned in love and death, we don't decide, and if only you could see yourself in my eyes, you'd see you shine, you shine" Dermot Kennedy - Lost
