Thought this might be some fun, so…

What are some lines from song lyrics that really hit you the right way? It could be that it’s deep and meaningful, or just something that amuses you. I’ll start:

Isn’t it funny how laughter looks like crying with no sound, and raindrops taste like tears without the pain ~ Queensryche - Another Rainy Night (Without You)

Droplets of “yes” and “no” in an ocean of “maybe” ~ Faith No More - Falling to Pieces

A smile as sweet as flowers
Wilted so and soured
Black tears stain the cheeks
That once were so admired
~ Dave Matthews Band - The Dreaming Tree

Her lovers queued up in the hallway
I heard them scratching at the door
I tried to tell her about Marx and Engels,
God and Angels…
I don't really know what for…

But she looked good in ribbons
The Sisters Of Mercy ~ Ribbons

Two songs come to mind for me off the same album (therapy, by radical face):
Dead ends:

There ain't no fixing this, but I like that you tried 
Sometimes the hardest part is being right 
There ain't no helping me, but I like that you lied 
Sometimes it's worth the burn marks to feel the light

There’s two versions of this album, a regular one and an “alternate reality” one with the same lyrics but a bit more uplifting of a take on them. The regular version of this verse is fucking crushing, I love it so much

Hard of hearing:

Another evening spent 
In the corners of my brain 
Where I wander off into the dark 
And I close my eyes and hope 
The wolves won't follow me 
But hope's hard of hearing 
So I'm waiting for the teeth

I had to learn that the helping hand 
Can be the same that holds the knife 
I know I'm not well but I'm alright 
You gotta learn how to take your hits 
When your hands are always tied 
I know I'm not well but I'm alright

This one I think I prefer the alternate reality version, it’s just the perfect melancholy song
