What is the deepest lyrics from any song?

i think the deepest lyrics are the song falls apart by Hurt. "And the hell of it is what we are


We finish and wish we could start again


Our skin tears away as our memories fade with age


And we don't even know 'til its gone...


But everything just fell apart


'Cause everything just falls apart for me"

What is the deepest lyrics from any song?
My wish for you, is that your life becomes all that you want it to. Your dreams stay big, you worries stay small, you never given more than you can hold, and when your out there getting where your going to, I hope you knew somebody loves you and wants the same thing too. [Rascal Flats]





I think of my kids when I hear this song.

Reply:Chewing out a rhythm on my bubble gum


The sun is out and I want some.


Its not hard, not far to reach


We can hitch a ride


To rockaway beach.


Up on the roof, out on the street


Down in the playground the hot concrete


Bus ride is too slow


They blast out the disco on the radio


Rock rock rockaway beach


Rock rock rockaway beach


We can hitch a ride


To rockaway beach


Its not hard, not far to reach


We can hitch a ride


To rockaway beach
Reply:That's not deep, that's marketable depression. (Hurt)


What does it mean? What does it hit on?


Nothing, other than self loathing.


If you want deep lyrics, see anything by Roger Waters.


Here's one example:


"And when they found our shadows


Gathered round the TV sets


they ran down every lead


and repeated every test


They checked out all the data on their lists


and then the alien anthripoligists admitted they were still perplexed


but on eliminating every other reason for our sad demise


they logged the only explanation left:


'This species has amused itself to death.'


No thoughts to think, no tears to cry


All sucked dry, down to the very last breath..


No tears to cry, no feelings left,


this species has amused itself to death."


Maynard, of Tool, while cliched, also has some pretty "deep" lyrics.


Example of Tool:


"Wear the grudge like a crown of negativity


Calculate what you will and will not tolerate


Desperate to control all and everything


Unable to forgive your scarlet lettermen.


Clutch it like a cornerstone, otherwise it all comes down.


Justify denials and grip them to the lonesome end.


Clutch it like a cornerstone, otherwise it all comes down.


Terrified of being alone, ultimatum prison cell.


Saturn ascends, choose one or ten.


Hang on or be humbled again.


.....Saturn comes back around to show you everything


Let's you choose what you will or will not see again


Drags you down like a stone, or lifts you up again


Spits you out like a child, light and innocent."





I could think of others, but these are the two that spring forthmost to mind.
Reply:Take a letter Maria, address to my wife, say I won't be coming home, gotta start a new life.





Showing my age eh?
Reply:Better to die quick, fighting on your feet. Then to live forever, begging on your knees.





Blacken the Cursed Sun - Lamb Of God





Does it for me.
Reply:It’s an interesting question since music does provide us with a venue to encapsulate the mindset of a generation.





I have a bit of political bent, so I always find songs of a political or culture nature to be the most profound because they are a commentary on the human condition as it relates to the rest of the world.





With that said I think George Michael’s song “Praying For Time” has many poignant verses in them, the most striking ones being these two:





“This is the year of the guilty man


Your television takes a stand


And you find that what was over there


Is over here”





”So you scream from behind your door


Say whats mine is mine and not yours


I may have too much


But Ill take my chances


Because God stopped keeping score


And you cling to the things


They sold you


Did you cover your eyes when


They told you


That he cant come back


Because he has no children


To come back for”








To me the first stanza perfectly illustrates our own time, where our complicity in supporting terrorist entities in the past, and our own inequitable dealings with the less fortunate world, have finally brought the carnage, that has ravaged other nations, to our own doorstep, most notably in the form of September 11th.








The second stanza, I think is a criticism of the American mindset as a whole, a mentality beset by the hubris that God is some how on our side. Such a way of thinking is easily shattered when one truly understands that God’s noble character would disown a people who have become so thoroughly corrupt and bloodthirsty as the American people.





Even though this song was written over a decade ago, its lyrics are hauntingly prescient and relevant to our current predicament.
