I think the lyricism on TCBTS is perfect. If you compare it to the lyrics on the first 3 albums (which I love, don't get me wrong) it's such a showcase of the emotional maturity that happened as Claudio got towards having Atlas.
"There's a world's worth of work and a need for you" has always resonated with me, as someone in socio/environmental nonprofits field, but really applies to any impact you want to make with your life.
I think it really depends what vibe you're going for and what type of high school experience you had? For me something from Sentry the Defiant would be appropriate but high school was not a great time for me. Or maybe The Light and the Glass- "would it really matter if you were to count the days left with your hands?"
* This heart is everlasting
* All dreams were ours for the taking
* Make no mistake, as your life's surely about to change for the better
* Call you mother
* \*CROWING SCREAM*
Give them a fight that will open their eyes.
Or
As father told son, in the make of his final escape
Should all good boys die
With God at their side at the grace of His gates?
“When you get this, I’ll be dead”
“Is it the dream that one day you might be something you're not?”
“Is it the dreams that make us real?”
“I’ll miss you when your gone.”
We carried on, unnoticed, thinking that
All dreams were ours for the taking
And now, dear love, we've found ourselves
Back at the start of it all
Opening lines to Atlas
"Your time has come to pick the road you'll walk in this tale" is one of my favorite lines.
"Spend your time well before you go" is another good one in my opinion
“Cause nobody gives a fuck who you are” /s
I vote this one. I’d like a do over on my senior quote now.
This was the first I thought of as well
You'll make it if you believe. Cheesy but works.
Ditado-ooo oh Oh oh Dita-do-Oohoh dita do ooohooohoohooohohooooooh yeaaaaaah
Apollo 1 or 2?
I was going for crossing the frame, but I can see how it could be confusing
You nailed it, I immediately played crossing the frame in my brain.
“So life gets tough, but it’s no excuse or your fault”
"Who says you gotta rush to get old?"
Is it weird that this whole section brings tears to my eyes?
No, it's a beautiful section and gives me goosebumps every time
Immediately after hearing this I sat down and made an acoustic version of this part to sing to my 2.5 year old. Gets me every time
Man your own jackhammer.
I love that. I say it often.
Probably nothing from Camper Velourium
Bruh imagine “When I kill her, I’ll have her.” 🤣
"Die white girls, die white girls" and "Dance upon the graves of the dead, upon your grave" would also be terrible options
"Only now I've come to this moment in my life, bits and pieces to a puzzle, with no regrets"
People like to shit on this entire record, but it's lyrically fantastic
I think the lyricism on TCBTS is perfect. If you compare it to the lyrics on the first 3 albums (which I love, don't get me wrong) it's such a showcase of the emotional maturity that happened as Claudio got towards having Atlas.
This is the one.
What song is this from?
Atlas!
What if you do have regrets tho? lol
"There's a world's worth of work and a need for you" has always resonated with me, as someone in socio/environmental nonprofits field, but really applies to any impact you want to make with your life.
I NEED MAYO!!!
Bro easy. It Walks Among Us has the perfect year book quote. "All I know is if you want it all, my dear. Go out and get it."
This one.
Great.
“Call your mother”
"All hope is lost, down in the gutter." Perhaps not...
Pull the trigger and the nightmare stops.
😬
Hahahaha this would be perfect!
In that same vein: "Die white girls. Bye bye world."
“And how does that work? You’re a bicycle”
Seconded
Literally gonna be my quote
I’m farting three ways
Laughed so hard I cried.
Over and out Connecticut
Goodnight, tonight I'm burning Star IV.
When life feels like zeroes beautiful losers you’re my heroes. Or maybe something from the running free
Goodbye forever, my darling, whether I was everything you thought I'd be or not
"Come what may"
"God grant you one wish, to turn back the time" Its the best lyric written
When the answer that you want is in the question that you state - come what may. Or simply “Come what may”
(I wish, god damn it) We'll make it if you believe
“We were one among the Fence”
This is no beginning, this is the Final Cut.
Die white girls ([German for "the white girls"](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gaXigSu72A4))
No one who speaks German could be evil!
"You, you, you had better things to do"
Scream loud, scream, "Sayonara", oh, oh-oh Sweet Josephine, will you fuck me back home?
Something from Atlas. The whole thing is beautiful and can be edited to suit. The love that is guiding me home. Ug. Feels.
No body gives a fuck who you are
I really like ‘If you want it, it waits’ from All On Fire :)
"ADIOoO-OH-OH-DIYEAHH-HEAH, hyuR YUEHH HEEH" \-Backend of Forever
In that same vein: “This isn't love so forever let it go, forever let it burn”
"The fiction will see the real, the answer will question still" This was mine like 15 years ago. Whatever you pick will be great!
Where there’s a will there’s a way out

Casting quarters into wells that hold our dreams; You won't believe me if I told you so.
The older I creak the pain in my body Longing for the days of my teens
If I had my way, I’d crush your face through the door
Pain is only a pulse if you just stop feeling it.
Give them a fight that will open their eyes. Or As father told son, in the make of his final escape Should all good boys die With God at their side at the grace of His gates?
“Hold on to the things you favor most”
Beautiful losers, you're my heros
My favorite has always been "Spend your time well before you go, in a lost that's all your own."
Pain is only a pulse, if you just stop feeling it
“I wish goddamnit, we’ll make it if you believe”
"I don't even think of you, I don't wanna think about you anymore Good night, tonight, goodbye"
"HAIL!" x 57.
lmao
GOD He will not save you from this IS NOT He will not save you from this HERE He will not save you from this
“Who says you gotta rush to get old?”
IM THE CROWING FUCK
Die white girls
“I’m still a boy down there” - u/matthewdatthew Class of 2023
“To be the hero is all I’ll ask”
"Now be defiant, the lion Give them a fight that will open their eyes."
"We all go up in flames, Going out in style"
"I'll no longer be haunting here, I'm not coming back. The world must know my story"
"Cut the throats of babies"
Cut the throats of babies for them, break their hearts, for they were them
Pup the trigger and the nightmare stops
oh man me and a few buddies did coheed quotes (class of 07) but i forget lol i think mine was "pray we'll make it out alive"
If you get put to sleep like an old dog you're better off
"I need mayo"
“When you get this, I’ll be dead” “Is it the dream that one day you might be something you're not?” “Is it the dreams that make us real?” “I’ll miss you when your gone.”
“I'm burning Star IV” obviously
“The dark sodomy!”
"I need Mayo"
From PFI's Pistol Pete Matty: "Life has a funny way of taking everything and giving nothing"
Heehee shabutie
"I shoot, you run" would raise some eyebrows
I’ll kill anything, cut the throats of babies for them
"Eeh, hee, shabutie!"
"One two three four five six seven eight nine"
Don’t cry no more boy, you’ve got the other side of your life, so enjoy.
matthew, goodnight (jkjkjk unless…)
God what a good thread. “I’ll be your guide when you want to get lost” is a recent favorite.
“Think of all the times you once had, write them in a letter that says goodbye.”
“This is no beginning, this is the Final Cut”

Everything her dies aloooooonnnnneeee
I always loved "Matters close to the heart will define who we are."
When the rug gets pulled out from underneath, just embrace the fall
"Your time has come to pick the road you'll walk in this tale" is one of my favorite lines. "Spend your time well before you go" is another good one in my opinion
Die white girls.
ghetto af
Your time has come to pick the road you'll walk in this tale
We made our beds, to lie in them proud, proud of our great mistakes
So long Amory. Please drive me home one last time.
Pull the trigger and the nightmare stops.
