Doesn’t matter if the song as a whole is your favorite, I’m just curious what line really stood out to you in a good way.

WHY DO THEY ALWAYS SEND THE POOR‽
It’s been awhile for me… SOAD?
Correct, you get a free pogo stick!
Still baffles me how you can release music like that and then become a trump supporter
Oh no… nononono. I feel all gross now. all my heroes are dead…
Where does the kool-aid come from, and why do they drink it‽
“No, his mind is not for rent
To any god or government,
Always hopeful yet discontent,
He knows changes aren’t permanent,
But change is.”
Rush - Tom Sawyer
Rush is a gold mine for good lyrics, imo
Yup, Rush and Billy Joel are almost always amazing lyrics.
My dad quotes this one often <3
I didn’t know that last line was words into right now
Fucker stole mine! Solid choice, solid choice. My alternative is “My dick, the midnight fee, yo dick the hiv”.
"Sexual violence doesn’t start and end with rape
It starts in our books and behind our school gates
Men are scared women will laugh in their face
Whereas women are scared it’s their lives men will take"
Idles - Mother
I cried the first time I heard this song.
Seems to be a take on the Margaret Atwood quote. Courtney Barnett has a similar line where she admits to basically taking the quote word for word:
I want to walk in the park in the dark, men are scared that women will laugh at them
I want to walk in the park in the dark, women are scared that men will kill them
It’s a common sentiment among women and feminists for sure. There was something particularly moving about hearing it from an all male band.
For sure. I just thought it was worth pointing out that it originated with a quote from a lecture by Margaret Atwood

Though I’m sure it’s possible that she heard it from somewhere else
Oh I will always support quotes from Atwood and Barnett :)
“I walk a lonely road, the only road that i have ever known”
Fuck you, I won’t do what you tell me!!!
Did you ever wonder why we had to run run for shelter when the promise of a brave new world unfurled beneath the clear blue sky?
Easily one of my favourite PF songs. Which is saying something because I have a lot of favourites from them but that one stands out.
Excellent choice.
Pull up rockin’, smack a racist in the face
Jet out, and leave ‘em screamin’ in the place
I come straight from the heart, you come straight from hate
And if you’re threatenin’ someone I ain’t gonna sit around and wait
I just smacked two cops, I’m waiting to see what the case is
Because my hands automatically smack people who are racist- 2 Mello, Pull Up
hell yeah 2 mello mention
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you. No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun.
Time - Pink Floyd
The Sun is the same, in a relative way, but you’re older Shorter of breath and one day closer to death.
For me it’s probably:
“Don’t you do it
You’re not even you yet”I first heard Otep’s Perfectly Flawed when I was early in transition and deeply suicidal. I’d already been hospitalized for it a couple of times. And then I heard this song and felt like it was speaking right at me. I’m still alive. Still depressed and working on it, but alive with the intention to continue. I don’t know if the song actually helped or if it was all the other things I’ve tried, but it still resonates fondly for me so I’m comfortable calling that lyric my favorite.
This thread really perked me up on my way to work and got me listening to some old favorites again. Thank you! We’re all so glad you’re still here.
Can’t believe how strange it is to be anything at all.
Neutral Milk Hotel - In an aeroplane over the sea
FUCK YOU, I WON’T DO WHAT YOU TELL ME!
As a child, an easy listening radio station soothed me to sleep. It kept the monsters at bay. I would not unpack nor understand the psychological abuse I suffered at home for decades. The song now reminds me that a late bloomer can still be beautiful. Crushes me to death every time.
It’s the heart, afraid of breaking
That never learns to dance
It’s the dream, afraid of waking
That never takes the chance
It’s the one who won’t be taken
Who cannot seem to give
And the soul, afraid of dyingThat never learns to live
Fun fact, the woman who wrote this song, Amanda McBroom, also played JAG Capt. Phillipa Louvois in the incredible Star Trek: TNG episode Measure of a Man
As soon as you're born, they make you feel small By giving you no time instead of it all Till the pain is so big you feel nothing at all A working class hero is something to be They hurt you at home, and they hit you at school They hate you if you're clever, and they despise a fool Till you're so fucking crazy, you can't follow their rules A working class hero is something to be When they've tortured and scared you for twenty-odd years Then they expect you to pick a career When you can't really function, you're so full of fear A working class hero is something to be Keep you doped with religion and sex and TV And you think you're so clever and classless and free But you're still fucking peasants as far as I can see A working class hero is something to be There's room at the top they are telling you still But first you must learn how to smile as you kill If you want to be like the folks on the hill A working class hero is something to beThe moment that I let go of it was the moment I got more than I could handle. The moment I jumped off of it was the moment that I touched down.
Thank U - Alanis Morissette
Strangers passing in the street by chance two separate glances meet and I am you and what I see is me.
