tattoo ideas

hello i know this has already been gone over but i thought if anyone had any additions to what song lyrics you would really want as a tattoo. if you have any more ideas or if you hadnt posted yet tell me what you think. i very much would like to get one or two and i still have a very wide open choice and would much appreciate suggestions. thank you.

also can someone remind me where 'some live just to die' lyrics came from, what song was it?

I like
and he still gives his love he just gives it away....
hearts and thoughts they fade fade away
i will hold the candle till it burns up my arms,
ill keep taking punches until their will grows tired
i will stare the sun down till it burns my eyes
i wont change direction and i wont change my mind

a wave came crashing like a fist to the jaw, deliver him wings hey look at me now
and sometiems is seen a strange spot in the sky, a human being that was given to fly

get right (in the font like on the t-shirt)

----
there are many others but id like to here what you think would look better and if any of you have ones like that already.

    "some Die just to Live" I think you mean. It's the last line of Immortality.
    I like the ones you've listed from Insignifagance. That song has some of my favourite lyrics ever.

    If i were to get a tattoo i would go for:

    no matter how cold the winter, theres a springtime ahead ( to always remind me that no matter what shit life throws at you pain will ease with time)

    "I'm open"

    and

    "I wish I was a messenger & all the news was good"

    I guess it would depend on how much body space is available.

    I recently picked up some ideas for my room decoration:

    Oh dear dad, can you see me now? I am myself like you somehow, I'll ride the wave where it takes me...

    Admire me, admire my home, admire my son. He's my clone...
    (I cant imagine wearing that on my body for the rest of my life, but still a good line)

    Freezin', rests his head on a pillow made of concrete

    Oh, and the barrel waits, trigger shakes aimed directly at my head...

    ...
    Why do I keep fuckin' up?

    thanks for replying everyone those are all gerat ideas and i too really love the lyrics from Indifference.

    i like the some die just to live and now i remember from where thanks. and i think that someoen mentioned they got I am mine on their wrist..its a cool idea i considered. you should get something that you love to erad everyday and that means something to you...its hard to narrow down.
    i have all my body to tatoo now. its kind of worrying still how people will take it if i get one. i was thinking of getting
    Get Right in the font its written with on my PJ t-shirt on my left thigh...pretty cool
    im not looking to paint my arms but have somethine meangful soemthign i can enjoy... any suggestions where i could put it?

    "no matter how cold the winter, theres a springtime ahead " great line thanks

    and to finish what i said the lyrics of indifference were the first words that made sense for me to listen just last week when stress got very high here in lebanon...anyways its tough bu just an example...i really wanted those words...but in a way that would look nice...maybe a candle or apicture that what i need to figure out and where...get right has its own fotn so i would like tohave simply that text.
    thanks for your views...anymore suggestions would be cool.
    see you

    I have "Given to Fly" tattooed on my right shoulder, underneath a purple swirly star thing. http://www.fivehorizons.com/songs/feb98/gtf.gif
    Its exactly like this, cos I couldn't decide what font to use, and it just seemed natural to have it in this writing.

    I don't regret ever getting the song tattooed on me, cos even if I turned out to hate PJ (god forbid!) the song will always always be the most poetic song ever... it just has a strange effect on me that I don't ever want to forget! And I thoroughly intend in getting another... I just can't decide which lyrics, and whether to use PJ again or Alice in Chains!

    hey jenny tree well i know what you mean about given to fly and i was just wondering dont know i always thought about it if id regret gettign something.. i proably wotn put anything on my shoulder or forearms just yet..il go for the wimpy hidden but still pretty places to put things. .i udnerstand exactly what y mean about given to fly and i feel almost the same way about that song...and i guess if you have one tha tmeans alot you should go for it and thats what im doing..i have one i know of and many others im sitll considering and in what way to put them.. i loev that font its exactly the way id do it...great tatoo. so ill consider that if i ever come to decide what words i want at least ill ask you all again what way you think i should write it or what i should draw thanks for the help. whatever suggestiosn you have would still be great id love to hear what means something to you.
