You're favourite Damien Lyric, and why

Nine · 10-04-2006, 11:10 AM

what's your favourite? Or the one you appreciate most, and why?

I absolutely love

"And I know I make you cry, and I know sometimes you want to die, but do you really feel alive without me?"

I my love for it is coupled with the melody and the accompniment, and also the way in which he sings it - it's just beautiful. The whole song, in fact, is just amazing - lyricly, melodically, vocally - it's just incredible.

I do have some other favourites but I'd have to have a think.

You are favourite Damien lyric?

Don't you mean your favourite lyric?

atagher · 10-04-2006, 04:35 PM

but you can't paint an elephant, quite as good as she

mickey13086 · 10-04-2006, 04:42 PM

there are too many to pick just one but for times sake i will just list one that comes to mind first:

What am I darlin'?
A whisper in your ear?
A piece of your cake?
What am I, darlin?
The boy you can fear?
Or your biggest mistake?

"I Could Wait For You Like That Hole In Your Boot Waiting To Be Fixed,I Could Wait For You But What Good Would That Do But To Leave Me..Pricked"

maccas81 · 10-04-2006, 06:24 PM

as lyrics go this one is class, not just the words but the way it's sung...

'i wanna hear what you have to say about me/hear if you're gonna live without me/i wanna hear what you want/i remember december/i wanna hear what you have to say about me/hear if you're gonna live without me/i wanna hear what you want/whatever you want'

also for the singing as much as the words

'what i am to you is not real/and what i am to you you do not need/and what i am to you is not what you mean to me/give me miles and miles of mountains and i as for the sea'

and as we've discovered on another thread...(tee hee)

'remove the stain of my love/paper maché'

wow!! this lyric is just amazing!!!...

but my favourite is:
"i remember it well the first time that i saw your head ´round the door, cause mine stop working"...

this is exactly what happened to me once!... and the first time i listened this line... wow! was so overwhelming!!!
funny thing (or magical): it was exactly three years ago from today!

And:

Quote:

"We might kiss when we are alone
When nobody's watching
We might take it home
We might make out when nobody's there
It's not that we're scared
It's just that it's delicate"

And:

Quote:

I wanna hear what you have to say about me
Hear if you're gonna live without me
I wanna hear what you want
I remember december
And I wanna hear what you have to say about me
Hear if you're gonna live without me
I wanna hear what you want
What the hell do you want?

And every word who goes out of Damien's mouth.

yeah he is quite the lyrical master

peterj · 10-04-2006, 08:25 PM

haha tagher i knew you would write that.

"And we always seem to need the help
Of someone else
To mend that shelf
Too many books
Read me your favourite line"

From older chests. It's wonderful imagery and just so true,and idk it just struck me as being so universally true yet deeply personal at the same time. Then there's the literal and figurative meaning of books. it's just soo good!

I've had that line and the following "if yes, be free. If no Leave him for me" in my head all day. Really starting to love that song.

I also really love the lyrics to grey room just now. the whole "have i still got you to be my sandy shore" etc. bit

alifatsaki · 12-08-2006, 04:45 PM

''So why do you fill my sorrow
With the words you've borrowed
From the only place you've known
And why do you sing Hallelujah
If it means nothing to you
Why do you sing with me at all?''

''i can't take my eyes off you''

''it's not hard to fall, when you float like a cannonball''

''is he dark enough to see your light?''

...all combined with the ideal mellodies!

Delonelyman · 12-09-2006, 04:22 AM

nothing is takin me down, except you my love
excepto mi amor....................
i wanna hear what you have to say about me

Nothing unusual, nothings change
just a litle older thats all...........

still a litle bit of your song,in my ears........

no words for tell you what i feel with those verses....

“But do you really feel alive without me?
If so, be free
If not, leave him for me”

Rootless Tree

” F*ck you, f*ck you, love you
And all we've been through
I said leave it, leave it, leave it
It's nothing in you
And did you hate me, hate me, hate me
Then hate me so good
That you can let me out, let me out, let me out, let me out
Let me out, let me out, let me out, let me out”

I really like this one how he throws in “love you,” because I feel like I can relate to this song so well. Just yelling out your anger of “f*ck you” but then saying “love you” because through all the anger… you still love them

Elephant

“So why d'you have to lie?
I take it I'm your crutch
The pillow in your pillow case
Is easier to touch”

“What's the point of this song? Or even singing?
You've already gone, why am I clinging?
Well I could throw it out, and I could live without
And I could do it all for you
I could be strong
Tell me if you want me to lie”

Cheers Darlin

“You give me three cigarettes to smoke my tears away”

“What am I darlin'?
A whisper in your ear?
A piece of your cake?
What am I, darlin?
The boy you can fear?
Or your biggest mistake?”

this is it for now. i'll play more later, but i don't wanna spoil all of my fun at once!!!!

also, all of delicate just chokes me up. Lonelily really gets me also and all of I Remember... especially damiens part

"Is he dark enough? Enough to see your light?" Accidental babies. Love it!
