Lyrics that make you cry

[vixnix]

Misspent youth, faking up a rampage
To hold off
The real slaves
Paid off and staid

[johncg]

I’ll miss you
And I wish you luck
Well, I forgive you
And I don't wish you away, away, away
It'll almost break you
Almost take you
Almost break you
Almost break you up

[Zer0 Hour]

Dun dun dun, duh duh duh duh duh duh
Mow rroww rroww RROWW RROWW RROWW RROWW RROWW RROWW

- Jackboot


Gets me every time.

[FoolofaTook]

fuck yes. and then it goes into

dun dun dun, dun dun dun, dun dun dun dun dun dun!

and jamez is all

waw waw waw, waw waw waw, waw waw waw waw WAW!

[ilikeplanets]

It doesn't make me cry, but "blessed to the many who are seeking some relief" is something I add in basically every social media profile =x

[FoolofaTook]

in all srsness i guess:

i sensed my loss
before i even learned to talk

and all of methusela.

[Shadaloo]

Could you find away across me
To forgive and forget me
To appease and relent me
To deceive and detect me
To understand and release me to the dawn
This is the last song


And in my heart I know you're there
And in my heart I know you care
And in my heart I know you're gone



If you have to go, don't say goodbye
If you have to go, don't you cry
If you have to go, I will get by
Some day I'll follow you, and I'll see you on the other side

[fluxequalsrad]

I don't want to fight
Every single night.

[FoolofaTook]

Be yourself, don't be
Yourself
Speak your mind, don't speak your mind
Stand alone, don't stand alone
Be on your own, be
All alone
And as the bells ring the graces
Of a
Newborn day
The voices sing the praises
Of your
Promised youth, promised whenever
And no one can see
You
So do what you want to
You're invisible next
To forever
Be yourself, don't be yourself
Speak your mind, don't speak your mind
Stand alone
Don't stand alone
Be on your own, be all alone
Take some time to thank the souls
For all their
Emptiness
Upon the fever dreams of distant sons
And
Daughters dressed for ransoms, for never
And nobody
Knows you
Even if they pretend to
They all sure that
They're just as clever
Truth is rare as ivory
The
Truth is in their pure deceit
Blessed in your naivete
Ooh, i thank you all
Ooh, i thank you all
Ooh
I thank you all, i do
Ooh, i thank you all

[Reyngel]

Cause I won't tell,
I won't tell a soul
that I'm mad as hell.
Torn, broken and frayed.
I'm torn, broken and frayed.
No,
I'm cold. Worn out. And shamed.

[Modern90's]

pretty sure i cried listening to rhinoceros a few times.

[johncg]

Since SLUNK was mentioned. Fun video:

[johncg]

“If you send me fan mail
On Instagram
I’ll mock your questions
Your ass is banned

Don’t ya love the star when he’s a prick
I only play for money
I don’t give a fuck about the fans”

[Zer0 Hour]

Argh how could I forget Crestfallen. I’m not totally sure, but I’ve always interpreted that song as t being about the end of a relationship once the speaker realizes that he isn’t worthy of the person he’s with. Having experienced that sort of thing a few times, it strikes a particular chord in me.

And you may go, but I know you won't leave
Too many years built into memories
Your life is not your own
Who am I to need you now
To ask you why to tell you no
To deserve your love and sympathy
You were never meant to belong to me
Who am I to you?
Along the way
I lost my faith
And as you were, you'll be again
To mold like clay, to break like dirt
To tear me up in your sympathy
You were never meant to belong to me

[cork_soaker]

i love the open road
and all that it suggests
wheelwagon dust
weeds and infidelities
and always swore our love
never questioned why
in a wooden house
immovable and silent
and drinking strawberry wine

[fuzzyroes]

Woah-woah-woah-woah-woah, woah
We're gonna make this happen
Woah-woah-woah-woah-woah, woah
I'm gonna fly forever
Woah-woah-woah-woah-woah, woah
We're gonna ride the rainbow
Woah-woah-woah-woah-woah, woah

masterpiece

[redbreegull]

I faced the fathoms in your deep
Withstood the suitors' quiet siege
Pulled down the heavens just to please you
To hold the flower I can't keep

[ninsp]

Stand Inside Your Love solely because it was my wife and I’s last dance song at the wedding

Other than that, y’all motherfuckers need Jesus if B0lly’s teenage poetry makes you cry

[redbreegull]

...you had sp at your wedding, brotato chip. we share the same monkey disease

[spidrr]

Lyrics? No. Melodies and moments in songs, tons of them I get choked up a bunch.

[Mals Marola]

yeah that's basically it. I could see some of these songs being moving to the point of tears when being taken as a whole at certain moments (boy I hope Took doesn't see that one!) but cryin from just reading the shit?

to each his own, I suppose!

[FoolofaTook]

what's that you whispered betwixt parentheses?

[Mals Marola]

i was merely fitting in some daily prayer to The Bald One, is all!

[FoolofaTook]

hmm.

tread lightly.

BUT THE THREAD TITTLE CLEARLY SAYS “LYRICS!!!!!” that make you cry ever tiem

[FoolofaTook]

stop splitting pubes

[redbreegull]

I am ideologically opposed to reading lyrics without the music, just as I am against reading a play. The decontextualization saps most of what is great. Lyrics are meant to be read or heard along WITH the music, and that is where the emotional impact comes from.

[smashingjj]

decontextualization

No. The fucking subject saying lyrics. There are no “lyrics” that choke me up. Moments in the music does, even when there are no lyrics being sung. That’s my point. GET OFF MY BACK, MANNN.
