ITT A Favorite Verse from a Song

So, what's a verse that sticks to you mind?

REM - Losing My Religion
verse two:
Every whisper
Of every waking hour I'm
Choosing my confessions
Trying to keep an eye on you
Like a hurt, lost and blinded fool
Oh no, I said too much
I set it up...

Hold This Woe - Swallow The Sun

Chorus:
You stop to close his eyes
Just to recognize his pain
There is a way out of here
A chaos will you hear

Why do you laugh to torture me?
Cut me open and leave me for dead
And run away, let the blood run free
You disappear from me again

VAAAGUE

We only have to choose one? Unfair

Even if we presume something that just jumps out at you randomly, that would depend on my mood.

If I had to pick one that comes to mind most often to me lately -

DDT - STYX (verse two)

А на обрыве
Этой прыщавой реки
Да наблюдая
За дымящейся золой...
Я постирал
На завтра свои носки
Я предполагаю
Что буду живой

(translation)

And on the cliff
Over this blotched river
While observing
The smouldering ashes...
I washed for tomorrow
My only pair of socks
I am expecting
That I'll be alive

Hide and Seek -- Imogen Heap

"Mmm, what you say?
Mm, that you only meant well? Well, of course you did.
Mmm, what you say?
Mm, that it's all for the best? Ah of course it is.
Mmm, what you say?
Mm, that it's just what we need? And you decided this.
Mmm what you say?
What did she say?

Ransom notes keep falling out your mouth.
Mid-sweet talk, newspaper word cut-outs.
Speak no feeling, no I dont believe you.
You don't care a bit. You don't care a bit."

In the song, I just am in love with how she sings this part, and the wording imogen heap always uses for her songs.

Avril Lavigne - La(o)sing Grip :

[Chorus]
"Why should I care
'Cuz you weren't there when I was scared
I was so alone
You, you need to listen
I'm starting to trip, I'm losing my grip
And I'm in this thing alone"

Broadcast - Goodbye Girls, first verse:

Endless night
Laced with time
Under unreal light
With the goodbye girls
Pendant heart
Counterpart
Under unreal light
With the goodbye girls
Fraudulently they love you
Think of you

No more will my green sea go turn a deeper blue.
I could not foresee this thing happening to you.
If I look hard enough into the setting sun,
My love will laugh with me before the morning comes.

And I raise my glass, to those of you who give their piece of the cake
for free, for me to throw in the face of democracy
For those who help in making solidarity ideologically untrendy
And charity individualistically idiotic, unsmart and characteristically bendy
I salute thee you poor bastards 'cause you all nod while I sit at your table
So let's raise our glasses one last time, to give you all the greatest
recognition and credit of all times - cause after all, let's face it;
that's the only "thank you" you will ever get
So come on now - raise your glasses!
Here's to YOU
There will be nothing left - no!
Nothing left...
...but money

And now that Flint mentions politics, another one pops into my head (yes, a lot of my favorite lyrics will be from DDT - I can't overstate how culturally-relevant that band is to me)

DDT - Revolution

Два пальца вверх - это победа!
И это два пальца в глаза
Мы бъёмся насмерть во вторник за среду
Но не понимаем уже четверга

(translation)

Two fingers up - that's victory!
And that's two fingers in your eyes
We fight to the death on tuesday for wednesday
But we can't begin to understand thursday

haha

It seems DDT for you is Pain of Salvation for me. Shall we lyric-battle?

So smile for the King of Loss
Feed from the juices
Bleeding from this cross
Then tell me our lives mean more
Than this vain thirst!
