“He will grow from a boy to an avenger, one filled with rage, as your consumed by age. If you don’t end him now, they will be no one left to save!”

it gave me the idea for a really cool story.

[Bird Furious she/her/un/important]

“And then you put your hand in mine and 

Pulled me back from things divine, stop

Looking up for heaven

Waiting to be buried” 

the whole song is just so… there’s an emotion to it, idk. Glory by Bastille. 

[Keke They/he]

“

I just wanna thank you

For beating me down, for messing me up
For making me feel I'm not enough
For running your mouth, for showing no love
For setting me off like a loaded gun
Thank you for making me
Stronger than I thought I could ever be
Thank you for hating me”

Thank you for hating me - citizen soldier

[Through the Living Wrath he/him]

The lyrics of Am I Dreaming, from Across the Spider verse is so so good . . . I feel like it doesn't seem as good without the music to it though . . . so just look up the song and listen to it.

[Cookie Spren]

The wheels on the bus go round and round, round and round, round and round, the wheels on the bus go round and round, all through the town.

This song really comforts me when I'm going through a hard time. You know what I mean?

I'm  Not Scared of the Dark also. It's from the first or second, but it's awesome.

"I get to watch you grow up now, and 

Make me proud, make all of those mis-

-takes that made me laugh

Oh, darling how you made me laugh 

Get drunk for me, sing

Louder than you've sung for me, grow

Young each time that thunder in your lungs 

Begins to rumble at the world"

--- Welly Boots by the Amazing Devil (language warning, for you innocent children, it's kinda bad but the song itself is absolutely beautiful)

[TwinStorm He/Him]

Hey, pretty little mockingbird
Keep singing them sad, sad songs
There's already rain on my window
I'm dying when the morning comes

Well, well,

THE HARDEST BUTTON TO BUTTON!

TAKE THAT!

in The Hardest Button to Button, by the White Stripes.

[Forts Board]

"Yeah i flung the earth, a trinket at my wrist, I said to the dawn, that I don't need none of this. 

Kept the sky above me with its infinite profundity, believed these shoulderblades would sing as wings..."

-High Enough, by the Gray Havens

[Cookie Spren]

"Such a pretty house
And such a pretty garden

No alarms and no surprises
No alarms and no surprises
No alarms and no surprises, please"

[Throw TheLiving Silverware he/him/il/lui]

Oh god I have many, so I will only post some (to avoid drowning the thread by posting dozens at once)

 

Pink Floyd - Time. (They have many great texts, but this one is my favourite.)

Spoiler

Tired of lying in the sunshine, staying home to watch the rain

You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today

And then one day you find ten years have gone behind you

No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun

*epic guitar solo*

And you run, you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking

Racing around, to come up behind you again

Sun is the same in a relative way but you're older

Shorter of breath and one day closer to death

 

Manchester Orchestra - The Silence:

Spoiler

Let me watch you as close as a memory

Let me hold you above all the misery

Let me open my eyes and be glad that I got here

 

And because it's me, a French song: Les feux d'artifice - Calogero (final chorus, variation on the usual one)

Spoiler

Nous sommes comme des feux d'artifice

Vu qu'on est là pour pas longtemps

Faisons en sorte, tant qu'on existe

De briller dans les yeux des gens

De leur offrir de la lumière

Comme un météore en passant

Car même si tout est éphémère

On s'en souvient pendant longtemps

 

Rough translation (done by yours truly):

We are like fireworks

Because we aren’t here for long

Let's make it so, while we exist, 

We shine in other people's eyes

We offer them light 

Like a passing meteor

For even though everything's ephemeral

We remember it for long

 

[IronMistborn]

My all time favorite song is Painkiller by Judas Priest. The ultimate heavy metal song. The absolute DEFINITION of heavy metal. In addition to unreal drumming, pounding bass, ripping and shredding guitar riffs, and the otherworldly vocals of the Metal God himself, Rob Halford, it also has great lyrics. Humanity is seemingly doomed, and their only hope is the Painkiller—an immensely powerful being riding the badass bike we see on the album cover (both are named Painkiller). 

 

He! Is! The Painkiller! This! Is! The Painkiller! 
 

I could post the entire lyrics, honestly, but this one verse describes the man and bike—

Faster than a laser bullet! Louder than an atom bomb! Chromium plated boiling metal! Brighter than a thousand suns! 
 

It’s simple, yet oh so effective. If I could turn any song into a movie…

[Kansas Stormcursed he/him]

“Is there a bar up there

where you’ve got a favorite chair

where you sit with friends and talk about the weather?

Is there a place you go

to watch the sunset and oh

Is there a song you just can’t wait to share?

Yeah I know

you’ll tell me when I get there.”

—P!nk, When I Get There

[Keke They/he]

In the if this plays I'm going to 100 percent cry starter pack

Hold on to memories - disturbed

Spoiler

Listen, everyone

The time will come when all of us say goodbye

Feel that aching in your heart

Leaving you broken inside

But we're never really gone

As long as there's a memory in your mind

So now go do the best things in life

Take a bite of this world while you can

Make the most of the rest of your life

Make a ride of this world while you can

Take the ones you love

And hold them close because there is little time

And don't let it break your heart

I know it feels hopeless sometimes

But they're never really gone

As long as there's a memory in your mind

...

And hold on to memories

Hold on to every moment

To keep them alive

The world's greatest tragedy

Souls who are not remembered

Cannot survive

My little girl -tim mcgraw 

Spoiler

Sometimes you're asleep, I whisper, "I love you"

In the moonlight at your door

As I walk away, I hear you say

"Daddy, love you more"

You beautiful baby from the outside in

Chase your dreams, but always know the road

That'll lead you home again

Go on, take on this whole world

But to me, you know you'll always be

My little girl

Unsaid Emily - Julie and the phantoms

Spoiler

If I could take us back, if I could just do that

And write in every empty space the words "I love you" in replace

Then maybe time would not erase me

If you could only know I never let you go

And the words I most regret

Are the ones I never meant to leave

Memories - maroon five

Spoiler

Here's to the ones that we got

Cheers to the wish you were here, but you're not

'Cause the drinks bring back all the memories

Of everything we've been through

Toast to the ones here today

Toast to the ones that we lost on the way

'Cause the drinks bring back all the memories

And the memories bring back, memories bring back you

 

[Wittles he/him]

"HEELLLLOOOOOOOOOOO" -Trees by twenty one pilots

Spoiler

This is kind of a joke, but how he sings it literally always gets some emotion out of me

"I am creation both haunted and holy" -Creature by Half Alive

"I can feel the light shine on my face" -The Line, also by twenty one pilots

[Keke They/he]

“Sometimes bad things take the place where good things go” good things go linkin park

“When you’ve been broken and bruised cause the past has been tough being human is what makes you something worthy of love, right here this sick right now. You are enough” you are enough by citizen soldier

glass half-empty, glass half-full / well either way you won't be going thirsty / count your blessings, not your flaws - king by lauren aquilina

[Hoid Slayer He/Him]

Let it roll - Lewis Capaldi

Spoiler

And if you want to stay lost a while

I’ll rearrange the road I take

and meet you out in the wild

And if you want, we can wait behind

We could find a place to hide

Maybe I could change your mind

 

So, I’m holding out for, something more

Let me hold your rolling heart of stone

Weigh down heavy like you did before

Let me hold your rolling heart of stone

[dezaS Hᴇ/Hɪᴍ]

We'll not wake you from your sleep
Leave you wandering counting sheep
No more sad and sunshine days
Trust me dear you're better off this way

-Guster, Airport Song
