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
(…)
Poor, poor Paul.
Or, lucky, lucky Paul?
It’s all in the perspective. I mean, had he a wife, he may never have found himself talkin’ with Davey who was still in the navy.
The “real estate novelist” tells you he is not where he wants to be.
Actually, no one in that bar is where they want to be with the possible exception of the piano player. The old man trying to remember the good old days, the bartender who wants to be an actor, the lonely business men drowning their sorrows. It seems to me that they would all rather be somewhere or someone else.
