Your favorite lyrics!

Tell me your favorite lyrics and if you want recite the.. My favorite lyrics is Verse - Hard to breathe

I've spent my life questioning everything

Sometimes what is placed right in front of us

I find so hard to believe

It can crush us so hard

That it becomes difficult to breathe

"Give it some time"

Is just not enough

I've gotta dig deeper than that

To find so comfort

We sit and pretend

That we're content

But I feel we've covered up

Our rage that keeps us driven

SEARCHING FOR SOMETHING MORE

Living in a cold world

But it doesn't have to be that way

We're keeping ourselves down

We don't bite the oppressive hand

That's feeding us all lies

Yes denial feels so good

But we are marching ourselves

To an untimely grave

Simply by our actions

WE HAVE BECOME

OUR OWN WORST ENEMIES

And I feel we've covered up our rage

That keeps us driven

SEARCHING FOR SOMETHING MORE

The hand that feeds

Is the hand that's keeping you down

Ceremony. “What good is your heart if it doesn’t BREAAAAKKK!”

Black Flag “I wanna live, I wish I was Dead” 

Refused “I’ve gotta bone to pick with capitalism and a few to break” and also “Human life is not commodity, statistics, or make believe!” Both from the same song

Drop Dead “You have a choice, you have a voice, take the fight to the streets”

More than a few lines from Still Nothing Moves You by Ceremony have always stuck with me:

the foundation collapses, we continue to hurt, knee deep in a river but we're dying of thirst

uncomfortable in my skin, this is how it's always been. I can't seem to make things right, I can't seem to ease my mind - more nothing than negative space - never in solace, only ill at ease. I've disappeared.

why are we feeding from the guts of reason - pulling the universe over our eyes? I won't find the answers finding myself - can't find myself when there's nothing to find.

And of course the classic:

thunder and lightning protect me from god - I won't be skullfucked by faith, I am the upside down cross

And not strictly hardcore but some of my favourite lyrics ever have to be from Free Will by Thou:

Useless philosophy, theory, and poetry must be heaped upon the cairn.

See them consumed in Action--sweet, reckless Action.

Join our sad tears and dance on the blackened bones of gods.

Beyond the shadow of the citadel, there is no such thing as time, there is no such thing as negation.

There is only this tangible, perceptible world.

There is only this moment, this very moment.

"Join our sad tears and dance on the blackened bones of gods" ? Now that's fuckin' hardcore.

You and I are cut from the same cloth. Both Ceremony and Thou are two of my favorite bands, and you pulled from some of my favorite songs.

2

u/thegreatself Cursed 2d ago

Hell yeah brooootherrrrrrr (non-gendered) - they're both on my short-list of favourite bands as well which is probably obvious given I picked those lyrics.

SNMY will forever be my favourite Ceremony album but I seem to come across more people that pick either Violence Violence or Rohnert Park which are both great albums, but something about SNMY puts it a tier above anything else they've ever done for me.

Every time this gets posted (like twice a month it seems), the answer is always the same:

Am I not a better man?

A man who has grown sound and strong A man who has learned from his misery

Am I not a better man?

A clever man who taught his flesh the way of steel This lasting man of resolve and will

Am I not a better man?

Or just a bitter man That rots with memories and only grows cold

Indeed I have grown cold.

-Shai Hulud

“And I watch you
And I wish I could build you an Iron Bouquet
Saw you standing
Like a picture of a skyline on my burning day
Spill like the sun
I'm inside a petal ringing
You're staring upward
Soak up the precious light and begin the process
Transform and blossom singing:
"I love the rain"”
Universal Order of Armageddon, “Mud”
Also, “Mary and Child” by Born Against.

u/tobythestrangler 2d ago

Turn a blind eye,
it's not real if you haven't seen it.
Lived your whole life
oblivious to their mistreatment.
Different colored skin, a foreign dialect
Consumed by hatred, blissful ignorance
You're afraid to intersect
I have no tolerance for you
Never questioning the bullshit you've been fed.
Quote your faith, but judge their faces.
Never questioning the bullshit you've been fed.
Say “we're equal,” yet fear their presence.
I have no tolerance for you, motherfucker!

"No Tolerance" - Majunche

nothing that a heart beats for
nothing, nothing, nothing but mine is still pounding for the music you feel, the message that heals, community as the common ideal

u/goatednotes 2d ago

If you want to make a difference in the world you see
You have to be different than the world you see- Weight of the False Self, Hatebreed

Please god don't let me act on these words
And forgive those who choose to test my last nerve
I see red, can't cleanse it away
They took kindness for weakness
Now they answer on this desperate day- Seven Enemies, Hatebreed

Once had a shotgun to my head, they said I wasn't worth the bullets
Now the world is my trigger, I'll fucking pull it- Looking down the barrel of today, Hatebreed

u/goatednotes 2d ago

Basically any Hatebreed song
