favourite lyrics from NIN

[The Old Exorcist]

The Warning:

You've become a virus
That's killing off it's host
We've been watching you
with all of our eyes
And what you seem to value most
So much potential
Or so we used to say
Your greed, self-importance and your arrogance
You piss it all away
We heard a cry
We've come to intervene
You will change your ways and you will make amends...
Or we will wipe this place clean.

Your time is ticking away...  

[Captn J Harkness]

__________








For me it would have to be Happiness in Slavery, in it's entirety, as it is my favorite obsession with them at the moment... or Without you, Without you everything falls apart, without you, it's not as much fun to pick up the pieces

my favourate lines "my moral standing is lying down" from the only time  

[sicninja911]

turn it up.
listen to the s**t they pump into your head,
filling you with apathy. - the great destroyer

the clouds will part
and the sky cracks open and god himself will reach his ******** arm through,
just to push you down.
just enough to hold you down. - the wretched

need you
dream you
find you
taste ******** you
use you
scar you
break you - eraser[polite]

it won't give up, it wants me dead
and goddamn this noise inside of my head! - the becoming

and when isuck you off not a drop will go to waste.
it's really not so you know once you get passed the taste[asskisser]. -******** inc.

i contol you - the art of self-destruction

you didn't hurt me.
nothing can hurt me.
you didn't hurt me.
nothing can stop me now. - ruiner

shame on us.
we knew from the start.
may god have mercy on our dirty little hearts.
shame on us.
for all we have done and all we were just zeros and ones. - zero_sun

black and blue and broken bones,
you left me here
i'm all alone.
my little piggy needed something new - piggy

coved with hope and vasoline
still cannot fix this broken machine - gave up  

[Empty Spiral]

[~+~]

Eeep.
Apologies if some have already been said.

I absolutely adore just that verse from "The Day The World Went Away"::
"I'd listen to the words he'd say
But in his voice i heard decay
The plastic face forced to portray
All the insides left cold and gray
There is a place that still remains
It eats the fear it eats the pain
The sweetest price he'll have to pay
The day the whole world went away."


From the song "Into The Void"::
"Tried to save myself but myself keeps slipping away."


All the lyrics from "Mr Self-Destruct". x3
I think the layout of them is brilliant.


From the song "Only"::
"Things aren't so pretty on the inside."


All the lyrics from "My Violent Heart".


&& lastly, off hand that i can think of, i don't like the song as a whole that much, but i absolutely love the lines from "Zero Sum"::
"And I guess I just wanted to tell you, as the light starts to fade,
That you are the reason that I am not afraid."


Of course, this is only from the ones i've heard so far.
x3

 

[black_princesses]

i like "great below" and the part in "gave up" where he says "...still cannot fix this broken machine..." god i need to listen to the whole album again.... *finds little place in heart to take a nap* guns by computer is good too...  

[Aeonfan96]

your GOOOD IS DEEEAAD! AAAND NOOO OOONE CAAARES! IIIF THERE IS A HELL, IIL SEE YOU THERE!!!  

[Megarama]

"Its funny how everything you swore would never change. Just like you, you always said we'd make it through. Then my head fell apart, and where were you? " From Somewhat Damaged

"we'll find the perfect place to go where we can run and hide
I'll build a wall and we can keep them on the other side" From The Fragile

"you and me
we're in this together now
none of them can stop us now
we will make it through somehow
you and me
if the world should break in two
until the very end of me
until the very end of you"

and

"the farther I fall I'm beside you
as lost as I get I will find you
the deeper the wound I'm inside you
for ever and ever I'm a part of" From We're in This Together Now


"AH-WITHA-TEE-THA" From With Teeth  

[Easy Listening Nightmares]

In the town where I was born,
Lived a man who sailed the sea,
And he told us of his life,
In the land of submarines.
So we sailed on to the sun,
Till we found the sea of green,
And we lived beneath the waves,
In our yellow submarine.

We all live in a yellow submarine,
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine

Oops. I forgot this is a NIN guild. Not a Beatles one. blaugh  

[Gintama fan]

Mach Of The Pigs

step right up march push
crawl right up on your knees
please greed feed (no time to hesitate)
I want a little bit I want a piece of it I think he's losing it
I want to watch it come down
don't like the look of it don't like the taste of it don't like the smell of it
I want to watch it come down
all the pigs are all lined up
I give you all that you want
take the skin and peel it back
now doesn't that make you feel better?
shove it up inside surprise! lies
stains like the blood on your teeth
bite chew suck away the tender parts
I want to break it up I want to smash it up I want to ******** it up
I want to watch it come down
maybe afraid of it let's discredit it let's pick away at it
I want to watch it come down
now doesn't that make you feel better?
the pigs have won tonight
now they can all sleep soundly
and everything is all right  

[ShutoutShenowski]

"I won't let you fall apart" fragile I love that album so much!  

[Branmonster]

Nothing can stop me now.  

[ParabolSchism]

********, I like every ******** lyric ever sung by the b*****d.  

[Fi-fi is GONE]

I can't pick just one, guys. Some of the best song lyrics, I think, come from God Given, Reptile, Survivalism, and Only.  

[HouseMarcellus]

alph0nse

staring at the sea
will she come?
is there hope for me
after all is said and done
anything at any price
all of this for you
all the spoils of a wasted life
all of this for you
all the world has closed her eyes
tired faith all worn and thin
for all we could have done
and all that could have been

ocean pulls me close
and whispers in my ear
the destiny i've chose
all becoming clear
the currents have their say
the time is drawing near
washes me away
makes me disappear

i descend from grace
in arms of undertow
i will take my place
in the great below

i can still feel you
even so far away



and



Watching all the insects march along
Seem to know just right where they belong
Smears a face reflecting in the chrome
Hiding in the crowd, I'm all alone
No one's heard a single word I've said
They don't sound as good outside my head
It looks as though the past is here to stay
I've become a million miles aw-
Why do you get all the love in the world?
Why do you get all the love in the world?

All the jagged edges disappear
Colors all are brighter when you're near
The stars are all afire in the sky
Sometimes I get so lonely, I could
Why do you get all the love in the world?
Why do you get all the love in the world?
Why do you get all the love in the world?
Why do you get all the love in the world?

Why do you get all the love in the world?
Why do you get all the love in the world?
Why do you get all the love in the world?
Why do you get all the love in the world?
[repeat]

The Great Below... oh yes.
