"She sings along with all the saddest songs,
And she believes the stories are real.
She let's the music dictate the way that she feels."
Kinks, Jukebox Music


"Once there was a child's dream
One night the clock struck twelve
The window open wide
Once there was a child's heart
The age I learned to fly
And took a step outside"
Nightwish, Dark Chest of Wonders


"Now I've read the thoughts of philosophers,
the words of liars, who say that underneath I'm worthless.
Incomplete?

Some one said we live our lives in between the extremes.
Is the art of life discipline?
Is that the sweet mystery?"
Queensryche, The Art of Life


"We don't wear that uniform
Paper men from pages torn
Right off the press (it could be Tass)
Suits for the regime
The media's gone and had a baby
Seventh wave, another navy
I live in America
Gridlock on the street"
Blondie, Walk Like Me


"i said all my life under the knife break you piece of...
i'm the macho man... (bad idea) i'm the macho man...
because I reign supreme in my own **** mind
i got the final solution - final solution - final solution - final
somebody want somebody want somebody want my necktie"
Mindless Self Indulgence, Bite Your Rhymes


"I promise to be always true
Until the very end with you.
In good times and in bad times too,
I know that we can make it through.
As one united we'll be strong,
Because together we belong.
If I could sing to you a song,
I'd sing of love that won't go wrong."
Sunny Hilden, Together


"Preparing for her flight
I held with all my might
Fearing my deepest fright
She walked into the night
She turned for one last look
She looked me in the eye
I said, `I Love You...
Good-bye'"
Dream Theater, A Change of Seasons


"I watch the stars as they fall from the sky
I held a fallen star and it wept for me, dying
I feel the fallen stars encircle me now, as they cry

It won't be alright despite what they say
Just watch the stars tonight as they, as they disappear, disintegrate"
AFI, Death of Seasons


"Fold to my arms
Hold their mesmeric sway
And dance out to the moon
As we did in those golden days

Christening stars
I remember the way
We were needle and spoon
Mislaid in the burning hay"
Cradle of Filth, Nymphetamine Fix


"And all I have is hope, and all I need is time
To bury in pine under six feet of time
The lies I told me about myself
Claw my way out, pick the splinters from under my fingernails
I won't lose hope, I won't give in
Just live and breathe and try not to die again"
Atreyu, The Crimson


"Boys in the girl's room
Girls in the men's room
You free your mind in your androgyny
Boys in the parlor
They're getting harder
I'll free your mind
I'll free your mind"
Garbage, Androgyny


"'Cause this life is a farce,
I can't breathe through this mask,
Like a fool,
So breathe on, sister, breathe on."
Portishead, It's a Fire


"Back in the village again
In the village,
I'm back in the village again.

But still we walk into the valley
And others try to kill the inner flame
We're burning brighter and before
I don't have a number, I'M A NAME!"
Iron Maiden, Back in the Village


"Wash me in the water
Cover me in sand
Burn all of the bridges that lead to me
Till the love is washed off in the water
Covered in the sand
Build the highest wall of flames around me
'til a heart of black is what I have"
Anders Manga, Heart of Black


"So what if you can see the darkest side of me?
No one will ever change this animal I have become
Help me believe it's not the real me
Somebody help me tame this animal I have become
Help me believe it's not the real me
Somebody help me tame this animal
(This animal I have become)"
Three Days Grace, The Animal I Have Become


"So beautiful
damsel in distress
Not exactly natural
Stunning none the less

What happened to you?
To make you more girl than girls are
Would you ever show or tell
Cause you're so good so far

You make a really good girl
As girls go"
Suzanne Vega, As Girls Go


"You got me locked in a paper cage
You think I'm chained up, but I'm just tied down
Step aside, get out of my way
I won't hurt you, I had enough being pushed around..."
Deep Purple, Bad Attitude


"So stop fooling around with my life, you can't possibly know what it's like
To be inside of me, I'm on my own, why can't you just leave me alone?
I have always trusted you, if I can do it you can too
What I do is my concern, now you're just gonna have to learn

It ain't none of your business where I'm goin', it ain't none of your business who I'm seein'
It ain't none of your business what I'm doin', it ain't none of your business...it ain't!"
Missing Persons, It Ain't None of Your Business


"I want to throw you
I want you to know I know
I want to know if you read me
I want to swing with my eyes shut and see what I hit
I want to know just how much you hate me so I can predict what you'll do
I want you to know the wounds are self-inflicted
I want a controlling interest
I want to be somewhere beautiful when I die"
Recoil, Want


"I know you're not afraid
'Cause when you stayed
You knew you made the final show
So now you must submit
I'll never quit till you admit
You'll never go

We are not to blame
For seeing love is pain
We are not ashamed
To say that love is pain

We are not ashamed, we are not ashamed,
We are not ashamed, we are not ashamed
To say that love is pain
And we'll do it again "
Joan Jett, Love is Pain


"In the sea beyond us, in the city below
These roads are more complex
Than You'll ever know

So bring it on heavy Severine
You're coming through loud and clear
Show me no mercy Severine
You still have sanctuary here

This is not a bitter anthem
I have no quarrel with you
It's just that i have so little patience
and I know what i must do"
Ego Likeness, Severine


"It`s not the end
Not the kingdom come
It is the journey that matters, the distant wanderer
Call of the wild
In me forever and ever and ever forever
Wanderlust"
Nightwish, Wanderlust

I like that, even though I only know two of those songs ("Walk Like Me" and "Animal I Have Become.")

Now I want to try.

"I sassed back to my mama,
 I sassed back to my teacher,
 I got thrown out of Bible school
 For sassin' back at the preacher."
 -Neil Young, "Crime in the City", Freedom

"Who are these children
 Who scheme and run wild?
 Who speak with their wings
 And the way that they smile?
 What are the secrets
 They trace in the sky --
 And why do you tremble
 Each time they ride by?"
 -Steely Dan, "Your Gold Teeth II", Katy Lied

"It's easier to run
 Replace all this pain with something numb
 It's so much easier to go
 Than face all this pain here all alone."
 -Linkin Park, "Easier to Run", Meteora

"With half-damp eyes I stared to the room
 Where my friends and I spent many an afternoon,
 Where we together weathered many a storm,
 Laughin' and singin' till the early hours of the morn...
 
 With haunted hearts through the heat and cold,
 We never much thought we could get very old.
 We thought we could sit forever in fun
 But our chances really was a million to one."
 -Bob Dylan, "Bob Dylan's Dream", The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan

"When I look back and see the plan,
 When I retrace the race we ran
 The course was so clear and true,
 Each bridge that we crossed led me straight to you.
 
 It's all too real, all these things we feel
 As the years go by, things intensify
 And I know, for each life there is a reason
 And I know, for each time there is a season
 Now the bridge leads on, to a brighter dawn
 It's waiting for me."
 -Kansas, "Incident on a Bridge", Drastic Measures

"Information travels faster in the modern age
 While our days are crawling by so slowly..."
 -Death Cab for Cutie, "Information Travels Faster", The Photo Album

"The time that's best
 Is when surroundings fade away
 The presence of another world
 Comes close to me
 It's time for me
 To throw away this paper knife
 I'm not alone
 In reaching for a perfect life."
 -The Police, "Omegaman", Ghost in the Machine

Maybe I'll add more, if I think of anything.
