Wat vinden jullie de beste songtekst ever ?
Ik weet niet zeker of er al zo'n topic is, maar kon em niet vinden ...

Mijne moet denk ik Solitude van Black Sabbath zijn .. en dan het liefst in de Catherdal uitvoering van N.I.B 1:

Solitude (5:02)

My name it means nothing
My fortune is less
My future is shrouded in dark wilderness
Sunshine is far away, clouds linger on,
Everything I possess, now they are gone,
they are gone, they are gone

Oh where can I go to and what can I do?
Nothing can please me only thoughts are of you
You just laughed when I begged you to stay
I've not stopped crying since you went away,
you went away, you went away

The world is a lonely place you're on your own
Guess I will go home sit down and moan
Crying and thinking is all that I do,
Memories I have remind me of you,
of you, of you

Erg mooie tekst jah. Ik heb zo ook een paar bands waarvan elke tekst me wel raakt eigenlijk. Die bands zijn Whispering Gallery, Lacrimas Profundere en Eels (das geen metal neej) Maar hier een tekstje van WG:
Whispering Gallery - An Eternity of Mourning

A cold wind touches my soul...
as reality takes control.
It builds in my dream an emptiness.
It hides all my feelings of loneliness.
In this mist of dreams far away...
lies ahead my future to stay.

Lost, like a ship.
On the sea, it's so painful.
Images, they come and go.
They let me know, that I miss you.
And my love is gone, and faded away.
My broken heart, turned into stone.

Now I'm lost,
like a nightmare come true.
The thought of losing you.
Stops my heart from pounding out,
from pounding out your name.
And crash into my mind,
like a hurricane.

Why have you forsaken me?
In my moment of hope, love...regret.
Am I to fall into the arms of infinity?
And cry myself asleep in the night.
Hold your body like a hollow dream.
Countdown the days of my life.


The sun will never shine again,
the deepest cold shall be my friend.
In this world of everlasting silence.
I shall waste my days in endless pain.
You my friend left me alone.
My sleepless beauty, my unborn child.

Sleepless beauty, unborn child.

A cold wind touches my soul...
as reality takes control.
It builds in my dreams an emptiness.
It hides all my feelings of loneliness.
In this mist of dreams far away...
lies ahead my future to stay.

Beste wel ik niet zeggen maar wewl 1 van...
Dimmu Borgir, die Silenoz is ook 1 van de betere schrijvers IMHO.


IndoctriNation

Oh, look at those lifeless leaves
All their precious pride is taken away
A lost creation for a graven image
Trembling of nothing but their own fear

(chorus
On behalf of water made to wine
Elements of deception must entwine
Righteous greed and derangement divine
Vacuum is given to the blind

To surrender to a faith so fake
To not comprehend while you're awake
Thrive on your deity for heaven's sake

Do loose your battle before actual birth
For some sheep need the company of a shepherd
To face the scorn of the earth

Existential parasite drama across the lands
What a relief never bother the why's
Investing illusions and folding hands
The passion for mankind's ignorance feeding you lies

All those naked faces, empty shells
Procreation of the mind put to rest
Crippled and caged, anaesthesia adjust
The lambs of slaughter preoccupied in disgust

"Slough of Despond" van Callenish Circle. Zal hem morgen ff posten.

Cryptal Darkness - Naked She Lay to the Virgin Snow
(Music and Lyrics: Oneil Alexander)

Her dying embrace still haunts within
through the blackest shade of nightfall
her enchanting voice it whispers serenades
a dark romance. . . yet never again
fate so tragic is mine to keep
forever will I miss her last dying kiss

As the sun sets before my very eyes
so lifeless she sleeps never to rise
an erotic dream of a winters kiss
so warm it melts like the snow in my hand

An ebony tear sheds only for you
beyond this sorrow deep within me
a promise we made evermore
I loved you and still I do

"The light of our dying sun
faded so long ago
captured by this immense nightfall
my sweet goddess. . .
so pale so cold
naked she lay to the virgin snow"

Her dying embrace still haunts within
through the blackest shade of nightfall
her enchanting voice it whispers serenades
a dark romance. . . yet never again
fate so tragic is mine to keep
forever will I miss her last dying kiss

The time we shared your virgin kiss
and that of mine you took from me
I surrender my everything to you
then you gave your self to me

Under a sunless sky
beyond the midnight hours
to dance in the shadows while the sun sleeps
I held you with affection in my weak arms
I wish I never let you go

As I walk the path of this lonely journey
dreamlike it rains sadness so endlessly
awaiting the dusk to descend
remembrance and my tears for you
shall fall eternal. . .

(goh, ik Cryptal Darkness fan?? Welnee! )

Da's een verdomd moeilijke vraag...ik vind vrij veel teksten mooi- "Sweet tears"van Anathema...of " Paranoid "van Sabbath..."La mer " van NIN..."Just like heaven " van The Cure...en nog...

I wrote a song and it didn't take long !

mooi kort, dus snel leesbaar!!!

Ik zou niet kunnen kiezen. Er zijn zoveel teksten die me enorm aangrijpen...

nation on fire - machine head
timelessness - fear factory
death row - hypocrisy

en nog wel een paar. zal binnenkort ff kijken voor de volledige teksten

SWEET TEARS

In each others arms
We cried together
And your tears tasted sweet

All is not lost
And never to be forgotten

Like a shiver down my spine
The lonely nights keep falling
And I still want you

All is not lost
And never to be forgotten

She's passed away but dreaming
Her soul's awake and screaming
The weeping willow is weeping
And beneath our hearts ...
... all joy is sleeping
our bliss is carried away ... sweet tears

-Anathema-

------------------

i'm losing ground
you know how this world can beat you down
i fear i'm the only one who thinks this way
i'm always falling down the same hill
bamboo puncturing this skin
and nothing comes bleeding out of me just like a waterfall i'm drowning in
2 feet below the surface i can still make out your wavy face
and if i could just reach you maybe i could leave this place
i do not want this
i do not want this
i do not want this
i do not want this
don't you tell me how i feel
don't you tell me how i feel
don't you tell me how i feel
you don't know just how i feel
i stay inside my bed
i have lived so many lives all in my head
don't tell me that you care
there really isn't anything, is there?
you would know, wouldn't you?
you extend your hand to those who suffer
to those who know what it really feels like
to those who've had a taste
like that means something
and oh so sick i am
and maybe i don't have a choice
and maybe that is all i have
and maybe this is a cry for help
i do not want this
i do not want this
i do not want this
i do not want this
don't you tell me how i feel
don't you tell me how i feel
don't you tell me how i feel
you don't know just how i feel

-nin-

-------------------------

You know what I need
When my heart bleeds
I suffer from greed
A longing to feed
On the mercy in you
I can't conceal
The way I'm healed
The pleasure I feel
When I have to deal
With the mercy in you
I would do it all again
Lose my way and fall again
Just so I could call again
On the mercy in you
When here in my mind
I feel inclined
To wrongly treat you unkind
I have faith I will find
The mercy in you
I would lose my way again
Be led hopelessly astray again
Just so I could pray again
For the mercy in you
When here in my mind
I have been blind
Emotionally behind
I have faith
I will find
The mercy in you

Alone van de Suicidal tendencies. Zoek het morgen wel op okm hier neer te zetten.

Claw, mooi tekstje hoor

[Dit bericht is gewijzigd door Sjaan op 27-09-2001 19:55]

Fragment uit "Just like heaven" van Cure:

Show me how you that thing
The one that makes me scream-she said
The one that makes me laugh-she said
And threw her arms around my neck...

Daylight licked me into shape
I must have been asleep for days...

Heb er 3 op mijn cu2 staan, maar deze plaats ik hier ook wel ff:

Marduk - Jesus Christ, Sodomized

Hang on your cross and pretend to suffer
before your flesh gets cold you'll be mistreated rougher
who are you fooling when you weep
die must any wolf who turns into a sheep

hold on to your cross, king of perversions and flies
in the whirlwind you'll face, no-one will hear your cries
anticipate a horrible death to the cross nailed
mary's pathetic tries to shit forth a king failed

jesus - son of rules halls up high
jesus - it was you who scorched the sky
jesus - hypocrite, you'll be the first to fry
jesus - scorn defeat, shut up and die

jesus christ - sodomized
we take no bow for angel child
jesus christ - sodomized
all you love must be destroyed

jesus - from the depths your death doom roar
jesus - your glory days belongs to yore
jesus - filthy scum behold abhor
jesus - your mother was a stinking whore

jesus christ - sodomized
we take no bow for angel child
jesus christ - sodomized
drunk of your blood we go wild

eat his body, drink his blood and be a slave under the yoke of god
piss on christ and kill the priest, follow nature - praise the beast

jesus christ - sodomized
we love to see you short of breath
jesus christ - sodomized
your throne we inherit on your death

bleed like a pig when with demons entangled
bashed, ripped and torned, mutilated and strangled
scream your lungs out is what you will do
when with fangs and claws the fallen rip you in two

jesus christ - sodomized
demons ripped you, your life blood ran
jesus christ - sodomized
one wound richer for each lie to man

Andere twee zijn
A Perfect Circle - Judith
Cradle of Filth - A Gothic Romance

A Gothic Romance van Cradle, The cry of mankind van MDB, They whispered you had risen van Cryptal Darkness, in motion II van the Gathering en Vampiria van moonspell:

Above yout head lays a star
in yout heart is buried the jewel of a serpent who wished to die.
Your red long tongue has her poison and you spread it as you breed

Is niet compleet, rest post ik nog wel eens

Ook mooi, van Autumn Tears:

I deny thee entrance in my beautiful garden. For if it is not thee who hath corrupted mankind, than who?

Of het intro van dezelfde cd 'Love poems for dying children act 2".....of...of....ik heb gewoon iets met teksten.....

in flames txten

Zoals beloofd

Slough Of Despond

In silence I am wandering
Can't avoid the screaming words
I try to make up my mind
All this thinking makes me blind
No control in my mind

And I open my eyes
Don't know what to do
I'm searching for answers
But they are all untrue

There is a never ending pain
Which is tearing me apart
Never ending insanity
Your darkness makes it hard

In silence I was wandering
Couldn't avoid the screaming words
I tried to make up my mind
All this thinking made me blind
The reason for my suicide

Eigenlijk wel wat simpel, merk ik nu. Maar in combinatie met de muziek WERELDS! Vooral de demo-versie!

Met muziek erbij is het nog mooier

Nog een mooie tekst van Evoken - Quietus:

"Just under the sighing of the wind.
I can hear you weeping from below the cold soil.
Maddened by grief, I kneel beside your grave.
For in time,even memories may die..."

~Ewok Celebration Song~



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Yub nub ... eee chop yub nub.
Freedom ... we got freedom.
Ah toe meet toe pee chee kene g'noop dock fling oh-ah.
And now that we can be free, c'mon, let's celebrate.

Yahwa ... moe whip yahwa.
Power ... we got power.

Coatee-cha tu yub nub.
Celebrate the freedom.

Coatee-cha tu yahwa.
Celebrate the power.

Coatee-cha tu glowah.
Celebrate the glory.

Allayloo ta nuv.
Celebrate the love.

Glowah, eee chop glowah.

Glory, we found glory.
The power showed us the light.

Ah toot dee awe goon-da.
And now we all live free.

Coatee-cha tu goo ... Yub nub.
Celebrate the light ... Freedom.

Coatee-cha tu doo ... Yahwa.
Celebrate the might ... Power.

Coatee-cha tu too ... Ya-chaa.
Celebrate the fight ... Glory.

3. God Bless The Hustler

[Lyrics : RMS Hreidmarr / October 1999]

Shining upon their chests
The silver seal
The blood-red penitents
Towards our land
From my window I can guess
The flames of their so-called heaven
By now, I should run away
Leave the house, the church, the grave

And I won't do that

I open my eyes - cannot move
Their hell after tracks me down
Has finally put his hand in mine
Torture me if you want
I have learnt to suffer
And in my grave
Rained many a tear, oh blessed majesties

Once more saved - nevermore
Mare tenebrarum - the red penitents
My fate divine - their worst obssession
Burn in hell you cunt !

Their eyes are burning more than their crosses


Anorexia Nervosa - God Bless The Hustler

Ik vind "Infinite Dreams" van Maiden wel erg mooi eigenlijk [geen zin om hem nu neer te zetten]

en verder veel teksten van Pain of Salvation!!! [zal ik ook een ander keertje wel posten...]

nou ja.. beste songtekst ever.. spreekt me aan:

quote:

---

I gave my heart and soul to you my friend
You let me fall
If you could only see what's in my heart
You'd take my hand
I've lived this life as a man would do
Why's it so hard to find the truth?
My faith is strong within myself
I bleed of pride
Inside
I won't forgive

You can't take it back now
It's to hard to swallow
No words
No conviction

I've found the truth inside myself
But I am still doing time
Opened my eyes to what is real
This world is hard
It's cold
It's agony

I wrote a song and didn't take long

(heideroosjes)

Kort maar krachtig.

zo ken ik er nog een, 'we're not gonna make it' van The Pesidents of the USA

Om dan maar bij de korte teksten te blijven:

Yacopsae - Apokalypsae

Prolog leben
Epilog sechs milliarden scheissen auf den umstand ihrer zeit
Nekrolog das wird’s sein menschheit
Prolog leben
Epilog sechs milliarden scheitern am umstand ihrer zeit
Nekrolog das war’s wohl menschheit

deze is echt te lollig "that's a huggin'good way........"

Ah, you came around a-wooing
Shaky: Why not?
Bonnie: You better ask somebody if you don't

Don't come around knockin' rock and roll

That's a rockin' good way
That's a rocking good way to mess
around and fall in love
Bonnie: Tell me Baby
