I am really not a big fan of rap, Im more into older hardcore (not that new metal crap) but anyways:

Artist: lil wayne and the game
Song: "My Life"
Quote: "Dear Lord you've done taken so many of my people, Im just wonderin' why you havent taken my life, like while the hell am I doin right?"

why? Because I think everyone should think about that, so many people have had a close friend or someone they knew die. But if you think about it, why are you still here, why am I still here? What have any of us done that that other person didnt, or couldnt. It's just something i tend to think about is all.

Artist: Brother Ali

Artist:Shinedown
Album:Sound of Madness
Song: Sound of Madness


I'm so sick of this tombstone mentality
if there's an afterlife then it'll set you free

Why: Because to me it's telling people to stop living for life after death and to start living for life before death (the present).

[Brain]

What?!
Shinedown came out with a new cd...awhile ago :p
Shinedown was the first band I saw live, waaaaay back before they "hit it". They were the 1st of 4 bands, headlined by 3 Doors Down. it was a great show, seether was there too, before they were big as well.

Thanks a ton, the quotes are looking great, some deep insight going on ;)

[Aser]

You were at a Shinedown concert with Seether there also? Man I am so envious of you now. Or is it jealous...? Its the one where I wish I had what you had but don't want bad to happen to you (not mad at you).

[Brain]

Well....it was a 3 Doors Down concert :p
With Shinedown as the tiny band that opened, then Seether as the second small band, then Our Lady Peace was the second biggest (at the time), and then 3 Doors Down had just put out their second album. It was my first concert, and it was great! And only $26.00! Must have been about 6 years ago, man, I'm gettin old....already 20 :o

[Aser]

Artists: Simon and Garfunkel (Totally spelled that right first time woo)
Song:Sound of Silence

And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more.
People talking without speaking,
People hearing without listening,
People writing songs that voices never share
And no one deared
Disturb the sound of silence.

Why:When you live life actually live it. Don't run on autopilot. That's what I get out of it anyway...

Do you have a use for these besides thought provokers?

[Brain]

I dunno, I was just thinking about music, and what I thought some of the lyrics meant, and I thought that other people probably think, and then I thought about making a thread about it XD

[Aser]

Ok, I have to admit it is a good idea. I have a fealing that I always look either to deep into lyrics or into lyrics the wrong way. I interpret metaphors with a certain degree of randomness...

Artist:Led Zep
Song:Stairway to Heaven

Theres still time to change the road you're on.
Why: It's true. The worst person can become better and the best can become bad. You are not predestined for anything.

Note: This is from the supposedly Satanic backmask part so it might have a totally different meaning.
