Firstly, I'm sorry if I shouldn't have made this thread here, but I didn't want to put it under the Korean, Japanese or American sessions because I'm talking about music in general, doesn't matter the genre or language. Hope I won't trouble the mods with that.

 

I'm only looking for songs you like that have nice lyrics. Post away  :smile:

 

Here are mine:

 

 

 

 

When I was in the 3rd grade
I thought that I was gay
Cause I could draw, my uncle was
And I kept my room straight
I told my mom, tears rushing down my face
She's like, "Ben, you've loved girls since before Pre-K!"
Tripping, yeah, I guess she had a point, didn't she?
A bunch of stereotypes all in my head
I remember doing the math, like
"Yeah, I'm good at little league"
A pre-conceived idea of what it all meant
For those that like the same sex had the characteristics
The right-wing conservatives think it's a decision
And you can be cured with some treatment and religion
Man-made, rewiring of a pre-disposition, playing God
Ahh, nah, here we go
America the brave still fears what we don't know
And "God loves all his children" is somehow forgotten
But we paraphrase a book written thirty-five hundred years ago
I don't know
 
And I can't change
Even if I tried
Even if I wanted to
And I can't change
Even if I tried
Even if I wanted to
My love, my love, my love
She keeps me warm [x4]
 
If I was gay I would think hip-hop hates me
Have you read the YouTube comments lately?
"Man, that's gay" gets dropped on the daily
We've become so numb to what we're saying
Our culture founded from oppression
Yet we don't have acceptance for 'em
Call each other faggots
Behind the keys of a message board
A word rooted in hate
Yet our genre still ignores it
"Gay" is synonymous with the lesser
It's the same hate that's caused wars from religion
Gender to skin color, the complexion of your pigment.
The same fight that led people to walk-outs and sit-ins
It's human rights for everybody, there is no difference
Live on! And be yourself!
When I was in church they taught me something else
If you preach hate at the service, those words aren't anointed
That Holy Water that you soak in has been poisoned
When everyone else is more comfortable remaining voiceless
Rather than fighting for humans that have had their rights stolen
I might not be the same but that's not important
No freedom til we're equal
Damn right I support it
I don't know
 
We press play, don't press pause
Progress, march on!
With a veil over our eyes, we turn our back on the cause
'Till the day that my uncles can be united by law
Kids are walking around the hallway
Plagued by pain in their heart
A world so hateful
Some would rather die
Than be who they are
And a certificate on paper
Isn't gonna solve it all
But it's a damn good place to start
No law's gonna change us
We have to change us
Whatever god you believe in
We come from the same one
Strip away the fear, underneath, it's all the same love
About time that we raised up!
 
Love is patient, love is kind
Love is patient (not crying on Sundays)
Love is kind (not crying on Sundays)
Love is patient (not crying on Sundays)
Love is kind (not crying on Sundays)
Love is patient (not crying on Sundays)
Love is kind (not crying on Sundays)
Love is patient (not crying on Sundays)
Love is kind (not crying on Sundays)
Love is patient (not crying on Sundays)
Love is kind (not crying on Sundays)
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Although it's tough, when growing up I was a pretty normal kid
I'm old enough to realize that my family had more to give
We couldn't afford a lot but I kept on ignoring it
And would I make it? my basement is where I'm recording in
I'm depending on a dream and if I'd ever score it big
They believe on what it seems but I ain't even close to it
I'm focusing on what I do, not caring if they notice it
I'm composing my life story, all the highs and lows in it
My family was doing good, I'm riding bikes around the block
But coming home to mom and dad and the fighting never stopped
And it already begun, my father was getting drunk
Breaking things around the house, telling my mom to pick it up
I would be laying on my bed, hearing the yelling through the walls
It was small in the beginning now I couldn't take it at all
And I'm preparing to fall and why is this happening?
Drastically, actually this life was after me
 
I just wanna live a life with no stress
Success is just a mile away, I look for better days
Even if they hate you, just gotta smile through it all
Just be grateful, you just gotta smile through it all
I'm doing well so thanks for your help
I do it for myself for nobody else
And I owe to myself, I just gotta smile through it all
Just smile through it all, just smile through it all
 
It was clear, It's been a couple of years since it has been this way
I look away but it was the same thing, different day
Little things got me in trouble and I would get it bad
And I hated you and I ain't sorry, just forget it dad
And it's sad having a kid who doesn't like you
Dad I would never wanna be just like you
You'd beat me with whatever that you can find
And with mom, the people knew, it's nothing that you could hide
I was only 13 and I would come home a little late
Try to hurt me now, I grew up and I was in your face
Looking in your eyes, I decided to take a stand
Damn you were surprised, that's when I became a man
You told me to try to hit you and I punched you in your mouth
And I was out, packed my things and I was running out the house
On my own, I thank mom for being my backbone
I was gone for a month, you wanted me back home but I'm gone
 
Just smile through it all
Even if they hate you
Look, ain't nobody can replace you
Just smile through it all
Yeah they can be fake too
You got your life, just be grateful
Just smile through it all
Even if they hate you
What they say can't break you
Just smile through it all
Just be grateful
Just smile through it all
Just smile through it all
 
You and mom gotta divorce, I was happy hearing the news
I didn't know a lot before, now I'm fearing the truth
The last day before you went, you came and cried to me
And I didn't pay no mind when you said goodbye to me
The whole family left you, I wanted to forget you
Now I feel a guilt in my stomach and I'm regretful
I stopped following rules, I dropped right outta school
Hanging with the wrong crowd, I thought that I was cool
And when I was 17, I just gave up, I couldn't do it
Life was f*cked up and my music would help me through it
Truth is, I miss the family we once had
When we supported eachother, something I want back
And it's been 5 years since you were once here
I wanted to make it clear, your voice I wanna hear
I would look at your number and pick the phone up
I wanted to let you know, your son has grown up
 
It's kinda f*cked up, having your whole family leave you
We all make mistakes, the same for all people
And I was always aware of my surroundings
Always getting grounded, didn't care cuz I was childish
I went through the same, I feel the pain cuz you were labelled
You still played a role putting the food on the table
After you left, it was hard to be stable
And the man I am now, I admit that I don't hate you dad
To be honest if you were here, I would take you back
And I hate the fact that I made mom pick a side
Forget the pride, sick inside, I ain't proud of what I done
The fam was pretty good but I was stupid and I f*cked it up
This song I wrote is something for me to show
I'm a man now cuz you weren't there to see me grow
Something you didn't know and I'm letting out my story
Cuz I f*cked everything up and I regret it and I'm sorry dad
 

 

 

 

 

 

Just when I thought love was a lie
Then you showed up in my life
You believe in what I do
But I need your trust that we’re gonna pull through
 
I’ll be I’ll be there for you
I’ll be I’ll be I’ll be there for you
I’ll be I’ll be I’ll be there for you
I’ll be I’ll be I’ll be there for you
The world won’t see it
But between you and me, it’s perfect
Love in one word is your name
Baby to me, you’re worth it
 
It’s getting kinda difficult, adjusting to this lifestyle
No one here to hear me out, so I just write down
Since the last one, I promised not to love again
Broken hearted, it was even hard to trust a friend
So I just pretend like life is going good
Never put a smile on, even though I know I should
You got the world, the people in it getting in between us
Why can’t we just agree, like shit it ain’t a damn prenup
That night to remember, I felt like you’re the one
I didn’t wanna tell you, I was never good at speaking up
I want you to be happy, happy that you’re with me
I got your back, don’t even worry bout supporting me
My visions getting blurry and life’s getting distorted
I’m always in the studio, work and recording
Don’t need to prove it, I need you to take care
Wondering if you think you’re too good to stay here
 
When I look at you I see a different kind of beauty
Even though you did pursue me but you didn’t see right through me
I’m not a perfect person but you see me perfectly
And I ain’t gotta worry bout you ever hurting me
Build up your confidence, I’ll help you take a stand
I got your back, you and I, that’s my greatest plan
I’m who I am today and I got no regrets
And what we built for us is something that I won’t forget
In this world, if there was more love I would give more
I’m glad you weren’t the type to judge what I live for
Every show I go to, gotta deal with the assumption
Of what the ppl perceive, try to brush it off like it’s nothing
I look forward to every trip, and I do it for the music
But when I’m gone, my excuse is that I’m coming home to you quick
But let me do my thing with this dream I’m gonna pursue
I would hate to ever hurt you and patience is a virtue

/make way, old man with old music coming through

 

 

 

Ah, for just one time I would take the Northwest Passage

To find the hand of Franklin reaching for the Beaufort Sea;

Tracing one warm line through a land so wild and savage

And make a Northwest Passage to the sea.

Westward from the Davis Strait 'tis there 'twas said to lie

The sea route to the Orient for which so many died;

Seeking gold and glory, leaving weathered, broken bones

And a long-forgotten lonely cairn of stones.

Three centuries thereafter, I take passage overland

In the footsteps of brave Kelso, where his "sea of flowers" began

Watching cities rise before me, then behind me sink again

This tardiest explorer, driving hard across the plain.

And through the night, behind the wheel, the mileage clicking west

I think upon Mackenzie, David Thompson and the rest

Who cracked the mountain ramparts and did show a path for me

To race the roaring Fraser to the sea.

How then am I so different from the first men through this way?

Like them, I left a settled life, I threw it all away.

To seek a Northwest Passage at the call of many men

To find there but the road back home again.

 

 

 

(This is a cover, but it's better than the original imo. The original is by The Magnetic Fields)

 

These are just a couple.
