    I faced it,a life wasted
    And i'm never going back again.
    Seek,
    Find be yourself.
    Don't follow the herd.
    Don't repeat in spite of the encores.
    Be yourself.
    Otherwise you'll bore us.

    Ditto. I think this is one of the greatest lyrics I've ever heard. It really made me think about my life and made me realise that I'm in charge of it, I'm responsible for it and it's mine to do as I please with.

    It inspired me so much, that I got the words tattooed on me. Well, it actually reads:

    "I know I was born and I know I'll die, the inbetween is mine"

    I was so stoked on getting the tatto I didn't realise "that" was missing until about three weeks letter. What the hell, it still makes sense!! :roll:
    It's gonna be a glorious day...

    Hello all, I"m excited to be here! Right now in my life favourite line is: "me you wouldn't remember, for I'm not my former".

    I have a feeling it may eventually change but that's it right now and has been for some time.

    Pretty much the entirety of Light Years, but especially: "every inch between is becomes light years now, no time to be void or save up on life, oh, you gotta spend it all".

    See, about 3 years ago, my wife and I lost what would've become our first baby midways through my wifes pregnancy because of complications. Not long after, my dad lost the fight against cancer and passed away. But, 3 years later, on the other side of it, we have a beautiful daughter who is now 2 and fought through the loss of my dad.

    So Light Years as a whole, and especially the lines above, to me, means that you have to always be present around your loved ones, you always have to give them all the love you have and appreciate them and the time you get to spend with them to the fullest. Everybody loses someone at some time in their life, but it's really about leaving no lost time behind.

    This is my favourite one, but its a pharagraph, it just didnt feel right to split this one up

    "The North is to South what the clock is to time
    There's east and there's west and there's everywhere life
    I know I was born and I know that I'll die
    The in between is mine
    I am mine"

  • i guess kind of cliche, i love so many of the songs, i reallllly dont have a favorite.. but

    "i know someday you'll have a beautiful life,
    i know you'll be a sun, in somebody elses sky,
    but why, why, why, why can't it be,
    why can't it be mine.."

    might just trump.

    "likeminded on the run in a race that can't be won."

    but pretty much all the words to all the songs really. am i wrong? (Lebowski reference hope someone got it)

    Probably not my all time #1 fave, but this one from Gone came to mind-

    "In the far off distance, as my tail-lights fade. No one thinks to witness, but they will someday"
    There's a trapdoor in the sun.

  • This is so hard and I'm prob gonna change it in like a minute but atm i'm saying for sheer comic genius-

    'Don't see some men as half empty, see them half full of shit'

    It really does show how deeply cynical Ed really is!! :D
    Crowd: "UUUUUKKK!"
    Eddie: "I see you've acknowledged the Ukulele"
    Crowd: "UUUUUUUUKKKKK!!!"
    Eddie: "Too bad this is a mandolin you uncultured bastards"

    "If there was a reason, it was you. "

    1st post guys feels good to be here....Something about Footsteps enters my thoughts and freaks the hell out of me. That's the brilliance of PJ though, you begin to listen to their songs and you can feel them in your chest, almost pulsing.

  • "I know some day you'll have a beautiful life, I know you'll be a star, in somebody else's sky, but why, why can't it be mine."
    I'm sure this one is the favorite line of a lot of people, as there are way too many posts to read on this topic, but this one unfortunately relates to a real person for me. Sucks. Anyway, it is a brilliantly, sad line.
  • "With heavy breath, awakened regrets, back pages and days alone that could've been spent together, but we were miles apart, every inch between us feels like light years now..."

    It had significant meaning to me at the time Binaural came out; a long relationship at its end, each one loving each other but knowing that you're never going to see one another other again. By the way, Binaural is a really underrated album.
  • I'll ride the wave where it takes me
    I'll hold the pain
    Release me

    great song
