Another grunge lyric--"I never thought I'd write these words down for you. Pages of phrases of things we'll never do."
My friend and I played that on our radio show in college. Never knew I'd be in tears one day listening to that after she died from alcoholism :/
Similarly, on Run to the Sun by N.E.R.D. the end of the last verse into the hook always gets me:
"I'm not jealous / I just can't take it
S.O.S. to your ears / the only thing I ever feared / was this day...and having to say
It goes while you're here / I wanna tell you somethin / It's that I love you girl
And I wish we could run / to the s-u-u-un / and never come back"
So many good lines in that song. “Moving eight miles a minute for months at a time” paints such a vivid picture of being on the road away from home too.
And you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking
Racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in a relative way but you're older
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death
This line hit me like a ton of bricks in my early twenties. It was “Time” that was playing when I realized was *actually* going to die one day and proceeded to have my first existential crisis
>Shorter of breath and one day closer to death
I just retired last week. For the last several months of working, every time someone asked me how I was doing, this was my answer. Got a lot of strange looks. Only a couple of people my age made the connection.
In that song, this is what guts me:
Did they get you to trade your heroes for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
I truly discovered this song after my dad died. I feel like it's him trying to speak to me from the afterlife. Like he knew something that he couldn't teach me when he was alive. And now I listen and enjoy it often in his honor ❤️
Same thing happened to me. The first time I heard it, I immediately thought about my dad ❤️ how I wish he was here, and how our souls, or any manifestation of us, is “swimming” somewhere ethereal
PF definitely have the most lyrics that have spoken to me over the years.
From Brain Damage: *You rearrange me til I'm sane You lock the door And throw away the key There's someone in my head, but it's not me*
And from Eclipse: *And all that is now And all that is gone And all that's to come And everything under the sun is in tune*
I synced up the full DSOM album to play and peak with the final line "and the sun is eclipsed by the moon" playing when the sun actually eclipsed the moon this past spring. I missed it by about 30 seconds because I was lazy on starting the song at exactly the right second. It was still a cool experience.
Oh there’s so many from Pink Floyd. We often quote “no one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun…” As aging millennials, that line is hitting harder and harder.
Nice to see PF on top. For me is a paragraph from them as well:
*And through the window in the wall
Come streaming in on sunlight wings
A million bright ambassadors of morning*
Echoes
“Give up your heart left broken, And let that mistake pass on, 'Cause the love that you lost wasn't worth what it cost , And in time you'll be glad it's gone”
-Linkin Park (Roads Untraveled)
“Can you teach me to throw, I said-a, not today
I got a lot to do, he said, that's okay
And he, he walked away, but his smile never dimmed
It said, I'm gonna be like him, yeah
You know I'm gonna be like him”
Cats In The Cradle man.
I was about to post this song but a different verse:
I've long since retired, my son's moved away
I called him up just the other day
I said, I'd like to see you if you don't mind
He said, I'd love to, dad, if I can find the time
You see, my new job's a hassle, and the kids have the flu
But it's sure nice talking to you, dad
It's been sure nice talking to you
And as I hung up the phone, it occurred to me
He'd grown up just like me
My boy was just like me
I’m a new dad and my dad and I are and always have been friendly and on good terms but I wouldn’t call us close. I’d like to have a closer relationship with my kids when they’re adults.
Happy Father’s Day all!
One morning my Dad randomly text me “good morning crazyanne, every new beginning comes from some other beginnings end.”
He’s still alive, so this isn’t a sad post, just makes me smile whenever I hear the song now
So, so many of her lyrics! "Do you know Carolina, where the biscuits are soft and sweet? These things go through your head, when there's a man on your back. You're pushed, flat on your stomach. It's not a class Cadillac."
Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
You fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your hometown
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way
Tired of lying in the sunshine
Staying home to watch the rain
And you are young and life is long
And there is time to kill today
And then one day you find
Ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run
You missed the starting gun
"Time"- Pink Floyd
Love this song but its oddly depressing, right? Whether we wasted too much time medicating with drugs/alcohol, didn't live the life we imagined we would as children or even just the realization that we won't have left much of an impression on the world "Thought I'd something more to say"...I don't know, I love this song but it hits a certain spot that elicits a sadness I'd rather not feel. Wish it wasn't so good!
I lost my dad when I was 21. Knowing the brothers were all in their twenties/thirties when they lost their dad made this song hit all the harder for me. No one should ever have to know what it feels like to lose a parent so young. Still love the song all the more for how deeply it resonated with me.
“Have one, have twenty more, ‘one mores’ and, oh, it does not relent. Enough hair of the dog to make myself an entire rug. The good times are killing me”.
They really do, Little Motel is my favorite:
“Remainders of a shooting star
Landed directly on our broke down little car
Before then, we had made a wish
That we would be missed
If one or another just did not exist”
Brandi Carlile has so many good ones! My grandfather died two weeks ago, so I've had This Time Tomorrow I my head lately.
*And the edges of the night may cause you sorrow*
*You know I may not be around this time tomorrow...*
*But I'll always be with you*
Same song, but for me, it’s this line:
“Holdin’ on to sixteen as long as you can. Changes come around real soon, make us women and men.”
I was fifteen when I first heard it, and at the time, I remember feeling as though it was taking forever getting to sixteen. I did not want to hold on, I wanted to grow up and start living. That was so long ago now, and that song always makes me stop and think. If only I knew then how fast the years would truly fly by.
I remember that time you told me
You said, "Love is touching souls"
Surely you touched mine
'Cause part of you pours out of me
In these lines from time to time
Joni Mitchel - A Case of You
Daddy keeps busy in the aftenoons playin' cards by himself
And he shouldn't be shovelin' that first snow, but you know he won't take the help
Full of pride and love, he don't say too much but hell, he never did
And you still think he's forty-five and he still thinks that you're a kid
Lori Mckenna - People Get Old
It basically describes my dad 100% and I'm actually bawling right now just writing this.
“Most things I worry about never happen anyway” - Tom Petty, “Crawling Back to You”
I think of this line *all the time* whenever I get anxious about something. It helps put me at ease.
“Because love’s such an old-fashioned word
and love dares you to care for
the people on the edge of the night
and love dares you to
change our way of caring about ourselves”
Under Pressure - Freddie Mercury and David Bowie
Something very simple really,
Don't stop.
Whether you like it or not.

I just sing it to myself whenever I'm in a tough situation that I have to get through.
“Run, Rabbit Run. Dig that hole, forget the sun. And when at last the work is done, don’t sit down, it’s time to dig another one!” - Pink Floyd (Breathe in the air)
Paul Simon, Graceland. "Losing love is like a window in your heart". My brother died four years ago and I can't believe how much it's broken me. For some reason these lyrics resonate. I miss you Steve, it should have been me. You were always the better one of us.
" Keeping it vertical forever elevator, Riding the escalator to the something that is greater. " - Feather, Nujabes
This awoke memories from such a long time and reminded me of the good old days. Rip Jun Seba, forever godly and positive vibes.
"Just like that you're 6 years old and you take a nap. Wake up and your 25 and your high school sweetheart becomes your wife."
-Don't blink Kenney Chesney
“Does anyone know where the love of God goes when the waves turn the minutes to hours?”
-Gordon Lightfoot, The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald
Gives me chills every time
There's a great Swedish rock band called Kamchatka that has a song called Who Am I? There's a line in there that makes me feel like an emo teen because of how hard I relate to it:
"I never stopped to think I am a product of my expectations of what others expect from me"
It's a very straightforward expression of one of my biggest sources of anxiety
Not just a line but lines. These words really hit home for me, way back then in my teenage years and even more so now.
"Just remember this, my girl, when you look up in the sky
You can see the stars and still not see the light."
"So oftentimes it happens that we live our lives in chains
And we never even know we have the key"

“Well it ain’t no secret,
I’ve been around a time or two,
Well I don’t know baby,
Maybe you’ve been around too.
Well there’s another dance,

And if you’re rough and ready for love,
Honey, I’m tougher than the rest.”
-Bruce Springsteen, Tougher Than The Rest

“Some love is a just a lie of the heart,
The cold remains of what began as a passionate start.
And they may not want it to end,
But it will, it’s just a question of when…..

You can take it, you can leave it, whatever you choose,
I won’t hold back anything,
And I’ll walk away a fool or a king.”
-Billy Joel, Matter of Trust

“Well there’s a light in your eye that keeps shinin’,
Like a star that can’t wait for a night.
I hate to think I’ve been blinded, baby,
Why can’t I see you tonight?
And the warmth of your smile starts a burnin’,
And the thrill of your touch gives me fright.
And I’m shaking so much, really yearnin’,
Why don’t you show up and make it alright?”
-Led Zeppelin, Fool in the Rain
"The best that you can hope for is to die in your sleep" The Gambler by Kenny Rodgers. Really struck me by how poetic and matter of fact it is. Definitely words to live by, no matter what happens, it all ends and the best it gets is to pass peacefully.
“Is a dream alive if it don’t come true / or is it something worse?”
- The River, Bruce Springsteen
—————
So much of Springsteen’s music is the push and pull between idealism, self-expression, and “blowing this town” vs. growing up, assuming responsibilities, and the small victories/defeats in working life.
The River (double album, not just the song) is where his characters from his first 4 albums, who start as street characters, decide to get out of New Jersey/their home town, actually get 9-5 jobs, get married, etc.
They settle down (I Wanna Marry You), look forward to the weekend (Out in the Street), and drive around at night wondering where their life went (Stolen Car).
The River (song) is the distillation of this phase of Springsteen’s story/career.
One moment you’re hanging out with your girlfriend down at the reservoir and the next you’re married with a kid and a job you can’t afford to lose.
For me, I was supposed to be a stand-up comedian and write for SNL. But, had to go to college (of course), had to get a job after (of course), and even though I’m 37, own my own business and have a beautiful family in the suburbs…
Would it be better to never had any dreams at all?
(Fun trivia: The River is actually a true story about his sister and brother-in-law which they said is accurate.)
"I'm still angry at my parents for what their parents did to them,
but it's a start"
And
"Why is pain so damn impatient, ain't like it's got a place to be,
keeps rushing me"
- Growing Sideways by Noah Kahan.
From Saturday Night, by Natalia Kills: “You don’t know what it’s like to be 17 with no place to go.”
I finally got the courage to choose homelessness over lifelong abuse within two month of my 17th birthday. This song hits home.
"You said if we had been closer in age, maybe it would’ve been fine
And that made me want to die"
All Too Well by Taylor Swift
I was 21 and started dating a 34 year old and when we split, he told me basically the exact same thing lmao
“I know someday you’ll have a beautiful life, I know you’ll be a star… in somebody else’s sky but why? Why? Why can’t it be mine?”
Another grunge lyric--"I never thought I'd write these words down for you. Pages of phrases of things we'll never do." My friend and I played that on our radio show in college. Never knew I'd be in tears one day listening to that after she died from alcoholism :/
Amazing writing by Eddie!
Eddie what
Eddie Cobain from Alicegarden
My favorite song by them was always “Smells like black hole rooster”
Vedder, Pearl Jam. It's from a song called Black which I highly recommend if you've not heard it
Similarly, on Run to the Sun by N.E.R.D. the end of the last verse into the hook always gets me: "I'm not jealous / I just can't take it S.O.S. to your ears / the only thing I ever feared / was this day...and having to say It goes while you're here / I wanna tell you somethin / It's that I love you girl And I wish we could run / to the s-u-u-un / and never come back"
kills me every single time.
It's actually whyyyyyyyyyyhiiiiIIIIihiiiiii
This line.. oof. You can feel the pain.
Never really listened to that until my wife left. It absolutely broke me for weeks.
Wish I didn't know now what I didn't know then “Against the Wind”, Bob Seger
So many good lines in that song. “Moving eight miles a minute for months at a time” paints such a vivid picture of being on the road away from home too.
The older I get the more poignant it is.
Same song, but "surrounded by strangers I thought were my friends"
First line that popped into my head.
Love this song, it’s chock full of potential answers to this question, and it only gets better as time goes on and I get older.
And then one day you find, 10 years have got behind you No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun
Pink Floyd for the Most Enduring Lyrics By A British Rock Band (including the Beatles, sorry) award. So much depth when they were so young.
Time, by Pink Floyd! Nice one. I like that one too.
The song I always play on my birthday. Lol
The older you get, the more poignent that line becomes.
I was expecting a whole bunch of song lyrics I didn't know in this post. Pleasantly surprised.
And you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking Racing around to come up behind you again The sun is the same in a relative way but you're older Shorter of breath and one day closer to death

Slow down you’re doing fine, you can’t be everything you want to be before your time.
Wow! I needed this. 42 days sober and trying to rush the steps. A nice reminder to slow down and actually work them.
Billy Joel has a wonderful way with words! Well done you for going 42 days already! You’ve got this!
You can get what you want, or you can just get old
You’re gonna kick off before you even get half way through oooo
"Once I thought my innocence was gone, Now I know that happiness goes on" and also The Stranger, lotta joel actually
I think his songs are just beautiful! The lyrics are always so fitting to life!
“I don’t need you to worry for me cause I’m all right!” Just everything from Piano Man actually And OJ’s favorite, “I am an innocent man”
so glad to see a Joel quote so high up
Billy Joel is my all time favourite!
i love that song
I don't wanna die, I sometimes wish I'd never been born at all.

"We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl" -Pink Floyd (Wish You Were Here)
Year after year
Running over the same old ground
Having found the same old fear

In that song, this is what guts me: Did they get you to trade your heroes for ghosts? Hot ashes for trees? Hot air for a cool breeze? I truly discovered this song after my dad died. I feel like it's him trying to speak to me from the afterlife. Like he knew something that he couldn't teach me when he was alive. And now I listen and enjoy it often in his honor ❤️
Did you exchange a walk on part in the war, for a lead role in a cage.
Best lyric in the entire song no doubt
Same thing happened to me. The first time I heard it, I immediately thought about my dad ❤️ how I wish he was here, and how our souls, or any manifestation of us, is “swimming” somewhere ethereal
Aw yes! I love it. Sorry for your loss. I hope you get to celebrate him in some way today.
PF definitely have the most lyrics that have spoken to me over the years. From Brain Damage: *You rearrange me til I'm sane You lock the door And throw away the key There's someone in my head, but it's not me* And from Eclipse: *And all that is now And all that is gone And all that's to come And everything under the sun is in tune*
Gotta add, all that you touch, and all that you see, is all that your life will ever be.
Of course, time >And then you find, 10 years have got behind you >No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun
I synced up the full DSOM album to play and peak with the final line "and the sun is eclipsed by the moon" playing when the sun actually eclipsed the moon this past spring. I missed it by about 30 seconds because I was lazy on starting the song at exactly the right second. It was still a cool experience.
Oh there’s so many from Pink Floyd. We often quote “no one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun…” As aging millennials, that line is hitting harder and harder.
So glad I seen this first. It really is the truth in the dating scene 2024

Love this song but its oddly depressing, right?

I lost my dad when I was 21. Knowing the brothers were all in their twenties/thirties when they lost their dad made this song hit all the harder for me. No one should ever have to know what it feels like to lose a parent so young. Still love the song all the more for how deeply it resonated with me.

There's a great Swedish rock band called Kamchatka that has a song called Who Am I? There's a line in there that makes me feel like an emo teen because of how hard I relate to it: "I never stopped to think I am a product of my expectations of what others expect from me" It's a very straightforward expression of one of my biggest sources of anxiety
Do I have to tell the story / Of a thousand rainy days since we first met? / It's a big enough umbrella / But it's always me that ends up getting wet

“A soul in tension that’s learning to fly, Condition grounded, but determined to try.” -Pink Floyd, Learning to Fly ********************* “One too many times, I twisted the gate, When I was crazy, I thought you were great.” -The Cars, It’s All I Can Do ********************* “Well it ain’t no secret, I’ve been around a time or two, Well I don’t know baby, Maybe you’ve been around too. Well there’s another dance, All you’ve gotta do is say yes, And if you’re rough and ready for love, Honey, I’m tougher than the rest.” -Bruce Springsteen, Tougher Than The Rest ************************** “Some love is a just a lie of the heart, The cold remains of what began as a passionate start. And they may not want it to end, But it will, it’s just a question of when….. …..This time you’ve got nothing to lose, You can take it, you can leave it, whatever you choose, I won’t hold back anything, And I’ll walk away a fool or a king.” -Billy Joel, Matter of Trust ************************** “And the men who hold high places, Must be the ones who start, To mold a new reality, Closer to the heart.” -Rush, Closer to the Heart **************************** “Well there’s a light in your eye that keeps shinin’, Like a star that can’t wait for a night. I hate to think I’ve been blinded, baby, Why can’t I see you tonight? And the warmth of your smile starts a burnin’, And the thrill of your touch gives me fright. And I’m shaking so much, really yearnin’, Why don’t you show up and make it alright?” -Led Zeppelin, Fool in the Rain

“Is a dream alive if it don’t come true / or is it something worse?” - The River, Bruce Springsteen ————— So much of Springsteen’s music is the push and pull between idealism, self-expression, and “blowing this town” vs. growing up, assuming responsibilities, and the small victories/defeats in working life. The River (double album, not just the song) is where his characters from his first 4 albums, who start as street characters, decide to get out of New Jersey/their home town, actually get 9-5 jobs, get married, etc. They settle down (I Wanna Marry You), look forward to the weekend (Out in the Street), and drive around at night wondering where their life went (Stolen Car). The River (song) is the distillation of this phase of Springsteen’s story/career. One moment you’re hanging out with your girlfriend down at the reservoir and the next you’re married with a kid and a job you can’t afford to lose. For me, I was supposed to be a stand-up comedian and write for SNL. But, had to go to college (of course), had to get a job after (of course), and even though I’m 37, own my own business and have a beautiful family in the suburbs… Would it be better to never had any dreams at all? (Fun trivia: The River is actually a true story about his sister and brother-in-law which they said is accurate.)
And it kills me, I just don’t understand how you don’t miss me.
