Devin Townsend- Slow Me Down

It's so easy when you call
I was waiting by the phone
Knowing that you're all alone
And I ask you when you call;
'But will you wait for me?'
...Will you wait for me?
Cause in a while I'll never look behind
Even when I'll nearly lose my mind
So when the devil wins that toss
Will we be making it across?
Hang on...
Want it ,need it,
My want is found and feeding,
Hanging around with a girl
'Cause I want it, need it,
So bad I can hardly breathe but it slows me down.
And through all we bear the scars,
on the soul, through the stars,
Alone...
Forever we roam.
And you ask me when you call;
'But will you wait for me?'
...I will wait for you!
Cause in a while I'll never look behind
Even when I'll nearly lose my mind
So when the devil wins that toss
Will they be making it a cross?
Hang on...
Want it ,need it,
My want is found and feeding,
Hanging around with a girl
'Cause I want it, need it,
So bad I can hardly breathe but it slows me down.
Feel it in my mind and soul
Feel it in my constant lies
Feel it now, feel it go away... OH YEAH!
I WANNA GO, WHERE NOBODY'S GONE
WHILE HANGING AROUND WITH THAT GIRL
'CAUSE NOBODY KNOWS WHERE THE RIVER FLOWS NOW...
YOU'VE SLOWED ME DOWN!!!

Gotta post these lyrics, like the metal anthem or something, well maybe. :(

Megadeth- Back In The Day

Where were you when it happened?
Where could you be found?
Were you at the front of the stage?
Or in the underground?

From SF out to Old Bridge
New York back to LA
The world of metal changed forever
Back in the day

Well that was back in the day
And if you weren't there
It doesn't matter anyway
Because you wouldn't understand

Live to die and die to play
Every day and place
Leave a path of metal
Across the world from stage to stage

Well that was back in the day
And if you weren't there
It doesn't matter anyway
Because you wouldn't understand
[Solo - Poland]

In denim and leather
We were all part of one force
Knocked rock and roll on its *booty*
And put metal on the course

Higher
[Solo - Poland]
Higher
[Solo - Mustaine]
Higher
[Solo - Poland]
Higher
[Solo - Mustaine]
Back in the day
[Solo - Mustaine]
You weren't there
[Solo - Mustaine]
It doesn't matter
[Solo - Mustaine]
Because you wouldn't understand

This is our way of life
A life that was born free
To fellow orders how to live
Was never meant to be
Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh-oh

Peals of thunder, sheets of lightening
The power hits the stage
The music was exciting
The mania raged
Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh-oh

We all had the fever
Our ears started to ring
Feeding the wildfire
Consuming everything
Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh-oh

Metals king back then
Still to this day
Others imitate or challenge
But it never goes away
Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh-oh

this song just plain shows that even alot of hip-hop artists dont like the way things are going..

great song





Dead Prez - Hip Hop Lyrics

Uh, uh, uh, 1-2, 1-2

Uh, uh, 1-2, 1-2, uh, uh

All my dogs...



[Hook]

It's bigger than..hip..hop..hip..hop..hip..hop..hip..

It's bigger than..hip..hop..hip..hop..hip..hop..hip-hop



[M1]

Uh, one thing 'bout music when it hit you feel no pain

White folks say it controls yo' brain

I know better than that, that's game

And we ready for that - two soldiers head of the pack

Matter of fact, who got the gat?

And where my army at? Rather attack and not react

Back to beats, it don't reflect on how many records get sold

On sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll

Whether your project's put on hold

In the real world; these just people with ideas

They just like me and you when the smoke and camera disappear

Against the real world *echos*

It's bigger than all these fake-*money-maker* records

When po' folks got the millions and my woman's disrespected

If you check 1-2, my word of advice to you is just relax

Just do what you got to do; if that don't work, then kick the
facts

If you a fighter, rider, biter, flame-ignitor, crowd-exciter

Or you wanna jus' get high, then just say it

But then if you a liar-liar, pants on fire, wolf-crier, agent
wit' a wire

I'm gon' know it when I play it



[Hook]



[stic.man]

Uh, who shot Biggie Smalls?

If we don't get them, they gon' get us all

I'm down for runnin' up on them crackers in they city hall

We ride for y'all - all my dogs stay real

Nigga, don't think these record deals gon' feed your seeds

And pay your bills, because they not

MCs get a little bit of love and think they hot

Talkin' 'bout how much money they got; all y'all records sound
the same

I'm sick of that fake thug, R&B-rap scenario, all day on the
radio

Same scenes in the video, monotonous material

Y'all don't here me though

These record labels slang our tapes like dope

You can be next in line and signed; and still be writing rhymes
and broke

You would rather have a Lexus? or justice? a dream? or some
substance?

A Beamer? a necklace? or freedom?

Still a nigga like me don't playa-hate, I just stay awake

This real hip-hop; and it don't stop 'til we get the po-po off
the block

They call it...



[Hook 2x]



[Repeat 6x]

D.P.'s got that crazy *crapola*

We keep it crunked-up, John Blazed and *crapola*

A pretty good all around song I find, one of their greats.

11. Ashes In Your Mouth

[Mustaine - Ellefson - Menza - Friedman]

People have round shoulders from fairing heavy loads
And the soldiers liberate them, laying mines along their roads
Sorrow paid for valor is too much to recall
Of the countless corpses piled up along the wailing wall

Melting down all metals, tturning plows and sheats to swords
Shun words of the Bible, we need implements of war
Chalklines and red puddles of those who have been slain
Destiny, that crooked schemer, says the dead shall rise again

Where do we go from here?
And should we really care
The end is finally here
God have mercy!

Now we've rewtitten history
The one thing we've found out
Sweet taste of vindication
It turns to ashes in your mouth

[Chorus]

If you're fighting to live
It's OK to die !
The answer to your question is ...
Welcome to tomorrow !

[Solo : Marty, Marty, Dave]

Where do we go from here?
God have mercy!

[Chorus]

This song is great  :P

I Got You Babe

[HER:] They say we're young and we don't know
We won't find out until we grow
[HIM:] Well I don't know if all that's true
'Cause you got me, and baby I got you

[HIM:] Babe
[BOTH:] I got you babe I got you babe

[HER:] They say our love won't pay the rent
Before it's earned, our money's all been spent
[HIM:] I guess that's so, we don't have a pot
But at least I'm sure of all the things we got

[HIM:] Babe
[BOTH:] I got you babe I got you babe

[HIM:] I got flowers in the spring I got you to wear my ring
[HER:] And when I'm sad, you're a clown
And if I get scared, you're always around
[HER:] So let them say your hair's too long
'Cause I don't care, with you I can't go wrong
[HIM:] Then put your little hand in mine
There ain't no hill or mountain we can't climb

[HIM:] Babe
[BOTH:] I got you babe I got you babe

[HIM:] I got you to hold my hand
[HER:] I got you to understand
[HIM:] I got you to walk with me
[HER:] I got you to talk with me
[HIM:] Igot you to kiss goodnight
[HER:] I got you to hold me tight
[HIM:] I got you, I won't let go
[HER:] I got you to love me so

[BOTH:] I got you babe
I got you babe
I got you babe
I got you babe
I got you babe

Queensryche- The Chase

[Lyrics by Geoff Tate]

You think you're smart, inventive
Because you've figured out my game?
Pride is a handy substitute,
When you've got only yourself to blame.
All my dreams I've realized while you... were indisposed.
While you've spent eighteen years watching TV,
I've watched my fortune grow.

Here I am-I'm finally on the outside and
You're nowhere near where I've been!
I've got you where I want you... at last.
You've got no idea who I am!
We circle around each other waiting for reaction
We circle around each other waiting for reaction
Wanting satisfaction for the past.
I want nothing... from the past.

Always been so easy you're like a puppet on my string,
Throwing down hollow threats, unsure of what to think.
Why should I care?
You wouldn't dare!
You're nothing but worthless... I swear.

From where I stand I've got you where I want you.
You'll never take me! Never take me down!
I've seen all I need to put you in the ground
Revenge is normal, a typical reaction
I've seen your cynical reaction...
If you're standing outside of in.
Always on the outside of in.

Here we are at last facing oblivion...
And this is where finally it ends.
You don't belong here.
Holding fast to each of our sins.
With hope by my side, I'll survive to see the dawn.
Believe me or not... you owe me.
I owe you nothing!
I gave your life a purpose!
I owe you nothing but your death!
Without me you would have learned nothing!

heres another one you wouldnt expect from a gangsta rap group :P

Dead Prez - Be Healthy Lyrics

It's all love . . .



I don't eat no meat, no dairy, no sweets

only ripe vegetables, fresh fruit and whole wheat

I'm from the old school, my household smell like soul food,
bro

curried falafel, barbecued tofu

no fish though, no candy bars, no cigarettes

only ganja and fresh-squeezed juice from oranges

exercising daily to stay healthy

and I rarely drink water out the tap, cause it's filthy



Lentil soup is mental fruit

and ginger root is good for the yout'

Fresh veg-e-table with the mayatl stew

sweet yam fries with the green calalloo

careful how you season and prepare your foods

cause you don't wanna lose vitamins and miner-ules

and that's the jewel

life brings life, it's valuable, so I eat what comes

from the ground, it's natural

let your food be your medicine (uh huh)

no Excederin (uh uh)

strictly herb, generate in the sun, cause I got melanin

and drink water, eight glasses a day

cause that's what they say



They say you are what you eat, so I strive to be healthy

my goal in life is not to be rich or wealthy

cause true wealth comes from good health, and wise ways

we got to start taking better care of ourselves



They say you are what you eat, so I strive to be healthy

my goal in life is not to be rich or wealthy

cause true wealth comes from good health, and wise ways

we got to start taking better care of ourselves, be

healthy y'all . . .



Yeah, yeah, yeah, hold the *meep* up, yo

we'll take this little intermission, listen what the

*meep* we gotta say, y'know?

Word is bond son, niggaz been livin fat for too long,
knowamsayin?

Smokin bogeys, *meep*in drinkin all types of *crapola*

wailin out, not givin a *meep* what they puttin in they

bodies, son, knowamsayin?

â??Bout time niggaz start thinkin about that *crapola*, son,
knowamsayin?

That *crapola* is *meep*in, makin us deteriorate, son

word up, we gotta care bout our little babies an *crapola*, son

niggaz got kids to raise, straight up

ya gotta start learnin yo self, learning bout ya health, son

learnin this world we live in, kid, knowamsayin?

It's time to start changin all that *crapola* god, word up

so I'm gonna leave y'all niggaz on some *crapola* like that, ya
knowamean?

Word up, y'all niggaz better start usin y'all minds an

*crapola*, kid

Peace

Interesting song dealing with Schizophrenia

5. Sweating Bullets

[Mustaine]

Hello me ... Meet the real me
And my misfits way of life
A dark black past is my
Most valued possessions
Hindsight is always 20-20
But looking back it's still a bit fuzzy
Speak of mutually assured destruction?
Nice story ... Tell it to Reader's Digest !!!

Feeling paranoid
True enemy or false friend?
Anxiety's attacking me, and
My air is getting thin
I'm in trouble for the things
I haven't got to yet
I'm chomping at the bit and my
Palms are getting wet, sweating bullets

[Solo : Dave]

Hello me ... It's me again
You can subdue, but never tame me
It gives me a migraine headache
Thinking down to your level
Yea, just keep on thinking it's my fault
And stay an inch or two outta kicking distance
Mankind has got to know
His limitations

Feeling claustrophobic
Like the walls are closing in
Blood stains on my hands and
I don't know where I've been
I'm in trouble for the things
I haven't got to yet
I'm sharpening the axe, and my
Palms are getting wet, sweating bullets

Well, me ... It's nice talking to myself
A credit to dementia
Some day you too will know my pain
And smile its blacktooth grin
If the war inside my head
Won't take a day off I'll be dead
My icy fingers claw your back
Here I come again

Feeling paranoid
True enemy or false friend?
Anxiety's attacking me, and
And my air is getting thin
Feeling claustrophobic
Like the walls are closing in
Blood stains on my hands and
I don't know where I've been
Once you committed me
Now you've acquited me
Claiming validity
For your stupidity
I'm chomping at the bit
I'm sharpening the axe
Here I come again, whoa!
Sweating bullets

No I wouldn't do something like that. OMG

Btw here's another great metal song from Blind Guardian. :P

2. Journey Through The Dark

Many songs I've written
About the things I saw
My inner soul's a wasteland
I can't run away from here
Try to find them
All the lost thoughts in my mind
I woke up on a hill
So many times before
Yesterday seems like a dream no more
Frozen memories laughing
They don't let me find the truth
Am I born to be a king
Or a jester of the fools

You're the mystical old bard
on your journey through the dark
Mystical old bard
Your journey through the dark

I can't remember my name
I never knew how to find my home
I can't remember my name
come tell me when will it end
I'm the chosen one
To perform all these things
But not for me
In illusions and reality
I'm on my journey through the dark
I'm on my journey through the dark

Mystical old bard
On your journey through the dark
Mystical old bard
Your journey through the dark

[Solo: Andre]

I can't remember
Will I ever find myself
The distance is growing
My hope has gone away
A flash of light but nothing changes
When will it end
Which part of me remains

[Lead: Andre]

Soon I'll be back
On my ferryboat of tales
Where oblivion reigns
It will take all of me
Mystical old bard
On your journey through the dark
Mystical old bard
Your journey through the dark

I like Jack Johnson's song-lyrics.
Especially the one from "Sitting, Waiting, Wishing"

...
gave your friends
all a chance
puttin' up with them
wasn't worth ever havin' you.
Are you the guys on the beach who hate everything...? Eww....
Anything good in life is either illegal, immoral or fattening.

Bump after awhile. :(

Anyways was listening to some music as always from Kamelot and have to say they really do have some well written lyrics in their music, they stand out a lot from the other bands in power metal, not as cheesy but serious and actually meaningful, so thought would share this song, one of my favs from their album Karma.

Kamelot- Forever

There's a pain within
that I can't define
there's an empty space
where your love used to shine
from the night we met
till the day you died
do you think I wished
do you still believe I tried
all too soon we were divided
and life had just begun

Chorus

Will you revive
from the chaos in my mind
where we still are bound together
will you be there
waiting by the gates of dawn
when I close my eyes forever

I belong to you
you belong to me
it's the way things are
always meant to be

Like the morning star
and the rising sun

You convey my life
and forgive me what I've done

All too soon we were divided
into darkness and light

Chorus

Will you revive
from the chaos in my mind
where we still are bound together
will you be there
waiting by the gates of dawn
when I close my eyes forever

Save me
reverse how I'm thinking of you
every breath I take
brings me closer
closer to forever, to you
I'm waiting for the day that I'm gone

2Pac - Ghetto Gospel

Uhh,
Hit them with a lil' ghetto gospel

[Chorus - Elton John:]
Those who wish to follow me (My ghetto gospel)
I welcome with my hands
And the red sun sinks at last into the hills of gold
And peace to this young warrior without the sound of guns

[2Pac]
If I could recollect before my hood dayz
I'd sit and reminisce, nigga and bliss on the good dayz
I stop and stare at the younger, my heart goes to'em
They tested, it was stressed that they under
In our days, things changed
Everyone's ashamed to the youth cuz the truth looks strange
And for me it's reversed, we left them a world that's cursed, and it hurts
cause any day they'll push the button
and yall condemned like Malcolm x and Bobby Hunton, died for nothin
Don't them let me get teary, the world looks dreary
but when you wipe your eyes, see it clearly
there's no need for you to fear me
if you take your time to hear me, maybe you can learn to cheer me
it aint about black or white, cuz we're human
I hope we see the light before its ruined
my ghetto gospel

[Chorus - Elton John]

[2Pac]
Tell me do you see that old lady aint it sad
Living out a bag, but she's glad for the little things she has
And over there there's a lady, crack got her crazy
Guess she's given birth to a baby
I don't trip and let it fade me, from outta the frying pan
We jump into another form of slavery
Even now I get discouraged
Wonder if they take it all back while I still keep the courage
I refuse to be a role model
I set goals, take control, drink out my own bottle
I make mistakes, I learn from everyone
And when its said and done
I bet this Brotha be a better one
If I'm upset, you don't stress
Never forget, that God hasn't finished with me yet
I feel his hand on my brain
When I write rhymes, I go blind, and let the lord do his thang
But am I less holy
Cuz I choose to puff a blunt and drink a beer with my homies
Before we find world peace
We gotta find peace in that war on the streets
My ghetto gospel

[Chorus - Elton John]

[2Pac]
Lord can you hear me speak!!
To pay the price of being hell bound...


---


My favorite song of all time, very sad, and there's so much truth in it, strange that the rappers that always advocate peace and love are the ones we lose, never the ones that rap about violence and gang lifestyle.
