Please familiarize yourself with them


2) All posts must end with a '?'This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?


3) No spamPlease do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.


4) NSFW is okay, within reasonJust remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com. NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].


5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions. If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.

Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand.

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

Sleep Token - Look to Windward

Oh and I, I used to know myself.

Oh and you, you used to know me well.

Oh and I, I wish I could leave myself alone.

Oh and you, you wish you could make me whole.

Sleep Token - Gethsemane

What might be good for your heart, might not be good for my head.

What was there at the start, might not be there in the end.

Do you want to hurt me? Do you want to hurt me? Because nobody hurts me better.

Sleep Token - Infinite Baths

Drift with me, drift with me.

All this glory you did not earn, all these lessons you did not learn. You will drown in an endless sea.

If it's blood that you want from me, you can empty my arteries. Will you halt this eclipse in me? Will you halt this eclipse in me? In me?

Teeth of god, blood of man, I will be, what I am.

Tom Waits and Massive Attack - Boots on the Ground [paraphrased]

Boots on the ground

Cut you off at the ankles

Throw the rest away
