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

    Vicarious by TOOL

    Eye on the TV, 'cause tragedy thrills me

    Whatever flavor it happens to be like

    “Killed by the husband”

    “Drowned by the ocean”

    “Shot by his own son”

    "She used a poison in his tea

    Then kissed him goodbye"

    That’s my kind of story

    It’s no fun 'til someone dies

    Cause I need to watch things die

    From a distance

    Vicariously, I live while the whole world dies

    You all need it too, don’t lie
