Cjwriter1997's Favorite Song Lyrics of All-Time

I feel like this line speaks to me the most. The chorus of this song is just beautiful. Chris Cornell speaks about the terror and cruelty we face during times of war and how we persevere and survive, because humans are born to thrive.

It can also be applied on a much more personal level. This speaks from Chris' perspective on how he struggled with depression and survived until he could no longer. He tells us that we can fight through dark times and that we should keep persevering. In a meta sense, he is telling us not to break our promise to survive as he ultimately did.

If you look at it like that, it's honestly very sad, but it's also motivating. This is why this line means so much to me - it tells me that dark times are okay and that I can survive them. I won't break my promise, and you shouldn't either.

This line discusses the endless possibility of growing as a human. We don't have to be the same old, same old. We have the power and the drive to make an impact and stand out.

We continue to grow outward in this spiral of ideologies and beliefs, and we never stop growing. If we do, we'll be stuck in the same cycle. When we reach the end, we will have made our impact and taken our stance.

This line stuck out to me since I was a kid. Its message is simple: everyone goes through suffering and pain, and it's how we survive and learn from those experiences that shapes us into who we are.

We learn from the past and better ourselves because of it.

As we grow, we often forget about the people and things that made us who we are. We move on, being influenced and inspired by new people and experiences, which leads us to forget where we came from.

Without them, some of us wouldn't be standing where we are now. So, it's important to remember where you came from and appreciate those who have helped you along the way.

This line has always stuck with me as one of the band's best. It's often a question we have when tragedy hits, and we're stuck not knowing what to do.

It's a simple but effective line that reflects the state of many people's own tragic experiences, including Mike Shinoda himself. R.I.P. Chester.

I see this as a man going through the regrets he has at a low point in his life. He thinks about how, if he had a chance to start over, he would find a way to avoid making the same mistakes.

In the album it's on, it's essentially where the main protagonist gives his one last cry for help before ending his life. Depressing indeed, but Reznor sings it in a way that feels deeply personal. It resonates in a way only someone who has lived through such regret can truly understand.

The entirety of FEAR. could be an entry here. On a personal level, this song discusses Kendrick's worries, from the time he was in the hood to now, where he has all the fame.

This line pretty much says that his rise to fame has only magnified his fear. The way I interpret it, fame and money can't take away the inner struggles we face as people. In fact, they probably make it worse to manage.

Some think this line discusses suicide. I believe it speaks specifically to the moment when you take everything from your past and leave it behind, moving on and restarting yourself.

You leave everything, remembering it only as a time in your history, like watching it on an old videotape, as you start fresh with a perfect slate. It's a very somber song that ends one of my favorite albums.

I always loved Bad Religion's thought-provoking lyrics. This is from one of my favorite songs by them, and this line, in particular, always stuck out to me. It makes me think about how I often just do things to move forward without knowing if it's truly progressing anything.

We assume we progress as the days go on, but we never seem to fully encapsulate the concept. It's a bit existential but also very thought-provoking and meaningful.
