Long back I wrote a post about some really great quotes about music, and a few lyrics from songs I found to be really moving, in one way or another.
Today, I’m giving you a follow-up, of sorts, of that post and I’m going to focus solely on lyrics from songs I’ve heard. Rohan Marathe, a friend of mine, read my previous Awesome Quotes post and thought I should do another music-based one, so I thought why not? Because after all, its the words that invariably stick with you for a long time.
This is a two-part post, because I had way too many lyrics to fit into this segment, and I thought putting them all into one would make it too long, and so, to keep it lighter on the eye (and mind) I’ve split it up into two. This post is the first part, the sequel to which will I will publish next Friday, so keep an eye out for that.
So, let’s jump right into it! Here’s my selection of awesome quotes from songs, in no particular order. I’ve also attached Soundcloud plugins for each song (I could find) before the respective quote, so you can listen to the song in full.
Enjoy!
We keep this love in a photograph
We made these memories for ourselves
Where our eyes are never closing
Hearts are never broken
And time’s forever frozen still
– Ed Sheeran, Photograph
Your lies are bullets
Your mouth’s the gun
And no war in anger was ever won
Put out the fire before igniting
Next time you’re fighting
Kill ’em with kindness
– Selena Gomez, Kill ‘Em With Kindness
Do it for your people
Do it for your pride
Never gonna know if you never even try
Do it for your country
Do it for your name
Cause there’s gonna be a day
When you’re standing in the hall of fame
– The Script ft. Will.I.Am, Hall of Fame
You’re my end and my beginning
Even when I lose, I’m winning
– John Legend, All of Me
Hope when the moment comes, you’ll say
I… I did it all
I owned every second that this world could give
I saw so many places
The things that I did
Yeah, with every broken bone
I swear I lived
– OneRepublic, I Lived
My father said,
Don’t you worry, don’t you worry child
See, heaven’s got a plan for you
Don’t you worry, don’t you worry now
– Sam Tsui, Don’t You Worry Child
When the lights come on, the beat still remains
The strength inside, glory to gain
The shades of light, merge into one
As the broken skies clear from the sun
We’re the same, you and I
Reaching out to justify
Give me a chance, give me the time
Get in the game
– Cody Martins and Sparky Buddha, Get in the Game
I’ve witnessed your suffering
As the battles raged higher
And though they hurt me so bad
In the fear and alarm
You did not desert me
My brothers in arms
– Dire Straits, Brothers in Arms
Working hard to get my fill
Everybody wants a thrill
Payin’ anything to roll the dice just one more time
Some will win, some will lose
Some were born to sing the blues
Oh, the movie never ends
It goes on and on and on and on
– Journey, Don’t Stop Believing
That’s it for the first part of the Awesome Music Lyrics, folks! I hope you enjoyed it, and I’ll see you with more like these next Friday.
Until next time.
