    there are so many so i'd thought i'd go with something recent :)


    light green to green, dark green, brown
    every life is falling down
    brown to black, its coming back
    dies to be part of the ground
    seed to seedling, root to stem
    eyes, no eyes, there's no difference
    every life is looking in
    swallowing seeds on my death bed
    dig a hole in the garden

    "An empty shell seemed so easy to crack,
    Got all these questions-don't know who i could even ask,
    So i'll just lie alone and wait for the dream,
    Where i'm not ugly and you're looking at me..."
    Situations get fucked up and turned around sooner or later...

    i got two

    "rise, life is in motion
    i'm stuck in line
    oh rise, you can't be neutral
    on a moving train"


    "at home and drawing pictures of mountain tops, with him on top
    lemon yellow sun, arms raised in a v
    and the dead lay in pools of maroon below"
    BANZÄÄÄ

    When he was six, he believed that the moon overhead followed him
    By nine, he deciphered the illusion, trading magic for fact, no trade-backs
    So this is what it's like to be an adult?
    If he only knew now what he knew then

    don't let the light escape from me
    don't let the darkness swallow me
    So that is how I learned the lesson that everyone is alone. And your eyes must do some raining if you are ever going to grow. But when crying don't help and you can't compose yourself. It is best to compose a poem, an honest longing or simple song of hope.
    That is why I'm singing

    why, why can't it be, why can't it be mine?"

    one of my favs also, along with the last verse of Black, that "I know someday you'll have a beautiful life, i know you'll be a star, in somebody else's sky but why, why, whyyyyyyyyyyy can't it be, can't it be miiiine". Sweeet!!

    I also love:

    stunned by my own reflection
    looking back sees me to clearly
    and I thought Id never go there again
    not unlike a friend that polietly drags you down
    Like Pilate I have a dog

    The one that really touches me "First he was stripped then he was stabbed by faceless men well fuckers, HE STILL STANDS and he still gives his love he just gives it away, the love he recieves is the love that is saved, and sometimes is seen a strange spot in the sky, a human being that was given to fly"

    "i hold your head deep in my arms
    my fingertips they close your eyes
    off you dream, my little child
    there's a sun around the bend
    there's a sun around the bend
    all the evenings close like this
    all these moments that i've missed
    please forgive me, won't you, dear?
    please forgive and let me share...
    with you around the bend"

    do you have ideas on how this life ends?
    checked your hands and studied the lines
    are you to believe that the road ahead asends off into some light?

    "She once believed in every story he had to tell.
    One day she stiffened. Took the other side.
    Empty stares from each corner of a shared prison cell.
    One just escapes. One's left inside the well.
    And he who forgets will be destined to remember."

    and

    "Hear my name. Take a good look. This could be the day.
    Hold my hand. Lie beside me. I just need to say.
    I could not take just one day I know when I would not ever touch you, hold you, feel you in my arms.... Never Again!"

    yeah my gf just broke up with me and i kinda saw it coming, :(.
    I remember when I thought i knew everything..
    Lets say knowledge is a tree,
    It's growing up just like me.

    i like the opening verse to man of the hour, especially the line "a snow flake falls in may." it comes from out of nowhere and it's a picture of loneliness and even beauty. like the verse in black, where he sings the line "how quick the sun can fade away". i love the imagery.
    ...caught a bolt of lightning, cursed the day he let it go...
  • lost codelost code Posts: 108
    OMG. i can't believe i typed that wrong! "how quick the sun can...drop away..." sorry about that. i should know. i listened to that on headphones going to and from school when i was in grade 10, 16 y/o. plus that's the best line in the song, for me.
    ...caught a bolt of lightning, cursed the day he let it go...
  • artjamartjam Posts: 227
    My favorite line has to be...
    "caught a bolt of lightning,
    cursed the day he let it go"

    that line alone would have made me think ed is the greatest songwriter of all time.

    It hits me like nothing else ever will.

    lying sideways atop crumpled sheets and no covers
    he decides to dream...
    dream up a new self for himself

    Im Open

    voice goes by
    two birds is what they'll see
    getting lost upon their way
    wind rolls by
    low light
    eyesight
    low light
    i need the light
    i'll find my way from wrong
    what's real, our dream i see

    Low Light
    Somtimes i know, sometimes i rise,sometimes i fall,sometimes i dont,sometimes i cringe,somtimes i live sometimes i walk,sometimes i kneel,somtimes i speek of nothing at all,sometimes i reach to myself dear god

    I've always thought eddie was the master at using words or strings of words that no other writer could put in a song, much less sing, i.e.:

    Enmity gauged (whaaaat???)
    you underestimate me (perfect enunciation-my favorite line ever)
    all encompassing trip! (a tongue-twister only he can pull off)
    across the waste of space and fields of air I glide (beautiful)

    There are so many, I will just post the ones from songs I have been listening to a lot lately.

    *(the one that is in my signature below from Elderly Woman...small town)

    *and if hope could grow from dirt like me
    it can be done
    won't let the light escape from me
    won't let the darkness swallow me
    yeah!

    *a snowflake falls in may....that is just so beautiful

    *bee girl, you're gonna die
    you don't wanna be famous, you wanna be shy
    do your dances alone in your room
    becoming a star will become your doom
    bee girl, be a girl... :):)
    bee girl, be a girl...
    you know time is long, and life is short
    begin to live while you still can
    believe in nothing, believe me
    those who can be trusted can change their mind
    the anxious is the present
    unwrap your gifts, take your time
    everything you imagined
    needn't be stuck in your mind
    bee girl, be a girl...
    bee girl, be a girl...
    thank you

    "my lips are shakin' my nails are bit off
    been a month since i've heard myself talk
    all the advantage this life's got on me
    picture a cup in the middle of the sea "

    "it's been about three days now since i've been aground
    no longer overwhelmed and it seems so simple now
    it's funny when things change so much
    it's all a state of mind"

    vacate is the word...vengeance has no place on me or her
    cannot find the comfort in this world
    artificial tear...vessel stabbed...next up, volunteers
    vulnerable, wisdom can't adhere...

    i cannot stop the thought...i'm running in the dark...
    coming up a which way sign...all good truants must decide...
    oh, stripped and sold, mom...auctioned forearm...
    and whiskers in the sink...

    i swear i recognize your breath
    memories like fingerprints are slowly raising
    me, you wouldn't recall, for i'm not my former
    it's hard when, you're stuck upon the shelf
    i changed by not changing at all, small town predicts my fate
    perhaps that's what no one wants to see
    i just want to scream...hello...
    my god its been so long, never dreamed you'd return
    but now here you are, and here i am

    and so on and so on. i could go on forever. All PJ lyrics to me have so much meaning
    "no longer overwhelmed and it seems so simple now"
